Wow. This week has been QUITE a week. Wednesday I set out for Disneyland, and I got up late and still had to pack, so I was panicking. But my momy helped me out, and gave me a bunch of snacks, and I stole (borrowed) her watch for the trip. ;) :-D I didn’t have anybody to sit with because I was nice and let my buddy sit next to someone else.. even though I didn’t really want to. But I didn’t really care and it was okay because I got to sit near a bunch of cool people anyway, and I got the good bus. We spent the whole day driving and didn’t even get there until about five. So I was really tired, but it was fun because we watched a bunch of good movies and just had fun goofing around with each other. Ah, I love band people.. :) We just had time to check in to the hotel before we went to Medieval Times- which was super fun. Kinda cheap in some ways, but still cool. We got the blue knight, as always, and he lost again... as always.. but at least he stood a better chance this time. Hah.. I didn’t get any of his “favors” either.. :) :-p Oh well. Afterwards I stood around looking at the swords they were selling. I was contemplating stealing one, and making my retreat with one of their own weapons.. but I didn’t want to get arrested before I even got to have any fun.. so I didn’t get to have a sword, since I didn’t exactly have 300 bucks on hand... more like.. eighty.. : ( :-p Ooh and speaking of which, I only spent 9 dollars during the entire two days I was inside the park! Worship me. I brought a bunch of snacks and ate everyone else’s food. Haha it was great- for thanksgiving dinner I had someone’s leftover pizza for which, I was very thankful, because there’s nothing better than free food.. Hail the mighty scrounge. :-p Now I can tell my mom I spent all the money she gave me so I can to buy christmas presents, if I’m lucky, because I’m not getting any money from anywhere else.. Wednesday night was crazy. People were prank calling each other all night, so the girls in the room next door were talking and laughing very loudly all night, and because they asked the guys on the floor above us to be quiet they made more noise out of spite.. so I had the hardest time trying to get to sleep. My roomates were all being good, but that doesn’t help much when there’s noise, your pillow is weird, and you get calls at 2 am... so naturally Thursday wasn’t much fun either. I was all tired and grumpy, I cracked my neck on one of the rides (a completely stupid ride too), and what’s worse, I was supposed to meet someone in the morning, and didn’t. After I got inside the park, all of a sudden my friend was refusing to wait for me. She “didn’t want to see some strange guy”, didn’t want me to meet him either, and was in some kind of a hurry to go do stuff. I had asked my friend ahead of time if she would go with me to meet him. She said yes, I checked with her again and she was still ok with it, thursday morning she called me to make sure, and even insisted that I do something different with my hair, so I went over to her room and she made me all pretty... and then she changed her mind on me? I don’t understand.. I should have just said to hell with that I’m waiting anyway, but I didn’t because I was afraid to be alone, we were supposed to have a buddy at all times, and it’s practically impossible to find people again once you’ve split up.. so I felt I had to stick with her. I never put my foot down when I need to anyways, and it didn’t help that I was already nervous about it. And they just weren’t listening to me at all. People never do. So I spent most of the day worrying about what I had done, hoping I didn’t hurt him too much, trying to think what the hell I was going to say, and looking around wondering if he was still there somewhere... (which he was, and apparently I missed him a number of times). It was very uncool. It spoiled my day. I can’t lie and say that I had absolutely no fun, but it’s hard to just sit there listening to happy music knowing you’ve probably just hurt someone a great deal and can’t do anything about it. Fortunately, I managed to clear things up on friday, and I got to see him after all. Hopefully I can just have some quiet time to myself just to think about it. I haven’t had quiet time in days, and I’m the kind of person who really needs that. So no more about that for today. I’ll probably be lucky if I don’t sleep all day tomorrow. I didn’t get home until 1:00 this morning, so I was really tired, and I could only sleep until 11 because I had a parade today. A parade which sucked. So I was grumpy anyway. I stepped in horseshit because they were too fucking dumb to put the horses at the end of the parade like any person with sense. I was starting to get a helmet (oops.. I mean shako) headache, and I couldn't do anything about it until they dismissed us. Naturaly they took forever about it. I don't want to hear how wonderful we looked when I FEEL like crap. Just get me out. THEN I had to turn in my uniform and music because we’re not using them again this year, but it took an hour to turn them in because the idiots didn’t know what they were doing. Everyone was pretty fed up. Fortunately I pulled a “seniors first” number and got the heck outta there. Ah, the privilege. Haha.. the freshmen had to unload and clean the busses too.. :-D As it was, I only had time to go home, eat a late lunch, and shower before I had to go to the band awards banquet. That’s always really fun. Jacob presented me with an “I know everything award”. :-p haha. I’m surprised they didn’t give me the terrorist award. (they called me a creepy homicidal maniac the other day.. :-/) wait.. no I mean.. I KNEW they were going to give me that award.. ;) Oh I’m disappointed too, because all the seniors are supposed to be given blankets, and I was looking forward to snuggling up with mine tonight, but they didn’t come in yet.. :( Oh well. All in all I’m pretty happy right now. And amazingly, I'm not in that much pain and I'm not that tired. I still hurt, and I'm still yawning, but at least I can still stand up. Last time I went to disneyland I came back totally trashed. I must be in better shape than I was. Yay for that too! :)
