On Friday, we had our last rehersal of the season. It went pretty good, we had quite a few pep talks though. Then we did the members only run. We didn't get one last year, and I didn't know that it hadn't been a "naked run" except for that one year. Oh well. After we did our run which went pretty good, I went to Wendy's with Caitlin, Hayley, Mariah and Trevor. It was soo yummy :D. Then we all piled into the band room for the Candle Light Ceremony. People kept opening the doors through out it, I almost expected Bari to walk in "AHHHH! WTF are you doing?! There is no fire in schools, terrorists!" Althouh, when you read that, you have to think of his accent, lol. The ceremony last a really, really long time. I guess my parents got all worried because I told them I'd be done at 7 but was there until 10. Hayley lit my candle, and I lit Brooke's. Sangkuk and I were trying to guess who's candles people would light through the whole thing. I wasn't really expecting to light Brooke's either, I was kinda thinking of somone else, but then I started rambling about the freshman, and I'm like, ok, it would be weird to do someone from a different class...oh well. I did feel a little bad for Eric too, since he was last, and being last wouldn't matter if someone you knew and were friends with lit your candle, but if it was someone you didn't know, well, it wouldn't feel so great. I made it through the whole day with out crying, and even through the senior slideshow thing. But then when people were all hugging, I went up and hugged Sullivan, and I lost it. It sucked, cuz then as soon as I started, he felt all bad and handed me off to Gaylene, and I was trying to control myself, but it was hard. I felt so stupid too, cuz all day I was like "I don't understand why people are crying...nyeh" Well, I got my underwear from Michelishious, and left to go outside, cuz I was starting to feel sick, the room got really warm, and it was too sad. I caught up with Michelle on the way out, and got all teary again, cuz she was saying "I love you, you don't even know" and I got all sad. Well, I went home after that and crashed cuz I was so tired, and felt crappy.
I woke up at 5:30 the next morning, with a migrane. As the morning went on, I kept feeling worse and worse, the cold didn't help. Eventually, at the school I threw up, eww. I didn't want to get stuck on the bus in case I got sick again, so I rode up with Mariah's mom and dad, and her brother Jason. I felt kinda akward, but I just fell asleep for a while. The percussion bus broke, so I guess they all piled on to the other two. Glad I wasn't there, cuz I prolly would have gotten sick again, cuz I can get kinda claustrophobic sometimes. Then Sangkuk took Mitch's fone and started texting me, I think I used all of my texts for this month, lol. It was a really weird conversation, if we weren't just best friends, I woulda been kinda freaked. Lol AKWARD! But we were just jokeing around. It did kinda give me a panic attack at first though, cuz he was like "I love you, sangkuk." It was so random, I was sorta thinking in the back of my mind..."Maybe the bus blew up." Took me a few minutes to calm down. (Cuz things like that freak me out, and I can't get over it, so if I think something happened to someone, even though it would be totally irrational, I still freak). Lol, but nothing happened. Well, cuz of the bus thing, I got there ahead of everyone else, so I sat on Trevor's sax case till the buses got there. They did, I got dressed, and just chilled. When we did body warm up, Shannon and Nick were like "Are you ok?" Once Shannon started like, chanting. Go Ellie, Go Ellie. That made me laugh. Went to music warm up, not much news there. Then we preformed. Ugh, prelims were really pretty bad for me. I was really bitter towards Jessica G. and Maria (clarenet one). So we all piled onto the buses and went to go eat buffet food! Yay! It was better than last week though, lol. Our table made a mess...again. xD. Went back to the staduim, watched 5A, got dressed, and warmed up again. By this time, Holy Shiz, it was soooo damn cold! My finger tips were pretty much numb. But not quite, I could still feel them hurting, lol. Well, we proceeded to the tunnel.
Our Finals preformance, was.......nothing short of spectacular. I could feel how good it was gonna be as soon as we hit the field, because people were really damn loud! It was great, I guess it was my family that bought all of the noisy crap. *shinks into chair* I'm actually really glad they got all the stuff they did though. Anyways, the opener was amazing, I got so pumped, and the balled was great. Mrs. Wolfe was saying it made her cry. And the closer kicked ass!!! After we walked off the field, we huddled around, and got a pep talk from Sullivan. And I started crying again. But this time, they were "tears of joy". I never really got that concept 'till last night. Everyone felt so good about it. I was just hugging all of my friends, and I never wanted to let go. I felt really really lame crying though, I never thought that would be me, crying in front of my friends. But I justify it this way: if guys like Shane Packer start crying, it's not too girly looking if I do too. Cuz that's what I really don't like, appearing girly. Sometimes anyways, lol. But it was all happy at the same time. So whatever.
Well, we all filed into the stadium to watch 5A, Again! *rolls eyes* I froze. I was definitly wanting a group huddle by the time retreat started, lol. my coffee spilled on Mitch's gloves, I felt awful, although it was pretty funny when Talor slapped himself with one.
Mitch-Hey, Taylor, you should hit yourself in the face with that gove.
Taylor-OK! *slaps himself with the very coffee soaked glove* Ahhh, what the hell?
God it was funny. Well, Green Mountain got 4th. It was a little disapointing, cuz our show was so great. But it really doesn't matter. It would have been funny to watch Brandon and Shane make out if we won, cuz the kiss last week was the most amusing thing I had ever seen, just they way they were freaking out. Really funny. But yeah, I fell asleep on the bus, it was freaking cold though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't go to Denny's, too tired. Came home, ate some Wheat Thins, and slept. Wooo!
GO GMHS BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
