I'm alive!

Oh hai there.

I'm currently laying in a bed at a host family's house in Greensburg, PA right now, blagging on my DS. I have internet here, so I figured I'd let you all know that I'm alive. :3

It's been a great trip so far. Drove about twelve hours on Friday, stayed in a really fancy hotel. My room consisted of the four Freshman boys and Melissa, the only girl in the trombone choir. Poor her, haha. :p
But we all had fun.

I can sum up the next two days in a mere two words: Ohio sucks.

Seriously, worst state EVAR. But now that we're in Pennsylvania (I just know I spelled that wrong), it's all good.

Also, my internal clock is ALL MESSED UP. We lost an hour switching to Eastern Time, and then another for Daylight Savings. Blech.


Pokémon Heart Gold came out today. I want it. To get me in the mood, I've picked Platinum up again. Trained my Giratina, my Shaymin, and an Anorith I found, haha. :p


I think that's about it. I hope all of you are doing fine. :)
Don't worry about me!

Also, WHAT

I can't decide if this is going to be Totally Awesome or completely Flopsy.

(See what I did there? I just referenced two different Starkid productions? Oh, you didn't catch that? >_____> )

Oh well. I'm excited to see what it will be about.


On a side note, I am done with class, done with my midterm, done with mail, done with my homework, and done copying my music. I have two loads of laundry going right now, too, and I'll go practice when those are finished. Being productive SUCKS.

The Back Row is Cursed.

So. Today is the day before I leave for Spring Break. But before I get into that, a quick recap of the week:

I had to perform in two concerts this week, on Tuesday and Wednesday night. On Tuesday, we had the Concert Band concert, and Wednesday night was the Trombone Choir.
My dad got videos, perhaps I will post those later. I'll at least link to them, if they make it online. Both concerts went pretty well! And my family was in town to watch them and to buy me delicious food, so it's been a good week.

And speaking of good weeks, this week has gone by ridiculously fast. As the week before Spring Break, you'd expect it to just draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag, you know? But nope nope nope, it's been flying by. That's a good thing because I want it to be two weeks from now, but it's also a bad thing because I have SO MUCH TO DO.

So I get to do everything today. I have my Anthropology midterm today, I need to do laundry and pack for my trip, I mailed off some stuff, I have to finish my Theory homework (eh), I have to go to the library and check out a copy of my Jury piece, copy it, practice it, I have to go to a concert tonight, and I'm positive I'm forgetting something else, but oh well. This paragraph is still filled with enough commas to get my point across! My point being that today is busier than it has any right to be. >:(


So, my trip. For Spring Break, the Trombone Choir is going to be going up to the Eastern Trombone Workshop to perform and watch other people perform and such. On the way up and the way home, we're going to be playing at various schools and churches.

*- denotes a performance that day


So, that's the schedule for my trip. I won't be blagging at all that week because I won't be bringing my laptop. (No internet for 10 days? Noooooooooooooooo)
Gonna be playing a lot of DS, listening to a lot of music. Road Trips, woo.

But yeah, that's all for now. I'll tell you how things went when I get back on Monday. ;D
(Maybe Tuesday if I'm tired)


(Our performance will be at 3:30 EST on Saturday, March 20th, and will be broadcast live. For a complete schedule of the Eastern Trombone Workshop and a link to the live performance, go here. If you look, you should be able to find it pretty easily. Hope you watch!) ;D


Text me while I'm gone, since I won't have internet!

So give it up, give it back to me.

Hello, all. It's been a lovely weekend. The weather has been absolutely amazing! And of course, Friday and Saturday nights were splendid, too.

I've already told you all about Friday night, so I'm not going to go into any more detail on that. But then last night was fun, too. A little after six o'clock, I went over to Emily's house to hang out with her and eat dinner with her family. We had some delicious gumbo, some bread that wasn't cooked all the way (hahaha) and a ton of hilarious conversations while we ate. It was a great meal! :3

After dinner, we retreated to Emily's room upstairs and watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, 'cause Emily has never seen it before. I know, she's never lived. >:|
But she's seen it now, so things have been made better. :D
She loved it, and we had fun watching it together. My dog was annoying, though, but in the cutest way possible. Sigh, I swear my dogs are insane.

We then listened to some music a bit, and we talked while she finished sewing. Meanwhile downstairs, her parents were watching this crazy Swedish film called Slim Susie. When we came downstairs, they were probably about halfway through it. Emily and I ate some coffee ice cream and watched the rest of the movie with them. There were some... interesting scenes, and the movie was very confusing and unintentionally hilarious (I think I'm going to start saying "schmort" now), and it was pretty fun. By that time, it was pretty much 11, so I headed home and killed time on the computer for a bit. It was lovely. :3


Today was Colin's Eagle Scout ceremony. It was a pretty okay ceremony, very tongue-in-cheek (which I like). I left pretty early after the ceremony, though, and now I'm at home wishing I could take a nap. Oh well, maybe I can convince one of my friends to buy me coffee? :D

Anyway, midterms are this week. Wish me luck. :|

I'm afraid you have, you've gone totally bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret: all the best people are.

Tonight was spectacular.

I finished classes and then headed to Fairhope for the weekend. You see, I was going to the movies to see Alice in Wonderland with Emily, Jen, Sara, and Chelsea. And we were all dressing up.

So I got to town, and picked up my costume from Aunt Pagan. Yes, I was Alice, and yes, I borrowed the costume that the Creative Outlet uses for Alice. Oh well. ^_~

I chilled at the Coffee Loft until around four thirty and then headed over to Emily's house. We all got costumed up and ready to go, and left for the movies just before six.







We got there, people were amazed that I was a guy, we watched the movie. It was spectacular, and we all enjoyed it immensely. But the -real- fun didn't start until after the movie!

Afterwards, when everyone was leaving the theatre, I was surrounded by girls who wanted pictures with me. It was scary! D:
And everyone abandoned me, too. >:(

But I mostly avoided taking pictures with strangers because I saw Tony and Mason and Savanna and Logan and I kind of used them as a human shield.
The bathroom was an interesting ordeal, too. Using a urinal is hard (And awkward) when you're wearing tights and a skirt. I'm just glad no strangers walked in. >_____>;;


Anyways, we all met back up, had some more pictures taken, and then went to the Fairhope Waffle House. I don't really know how to describe what happened there... I don't think I'll discuss it, if not solely because I know I can't do it justice.
But we did meet Ted and have an all around good time.

Overall, it was a great night. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. And I'm sorry about how terrible my typing is tonight, I'm exhausted. -___-
Goodnight!

More vidja games

Other vidja games coming out this month that I want:

Dragon Age Origins: Awakenings - $40




Pokemon: Heart Gold - $35 (Already paid a $10 for it)




Left 4 Dead 2 DLC: "The Passing" - cost unknown





And I'll also be needing a Harddrive for my 360, as well as the other Dragon Age DLC. Blah, luckily no other good games come out for a few months (As far as I know, at least) so I'll have plenty of time to get these bad boys. :P

Oh God... Muscle March

Not much has been going on these past few days that's been worth blagging about, so pardon my lack of updates.

So yeah, some things that are coming up: This weekend is going to be great. Saturday morning/early afternoon, I'm going to go see the new Alice in Wonderland with Kathy and a few other people. It's going to be pretty sweet, I think! And that evening I'm going to be spending some time with Emily. :3
Saturday's gonna be fun.

Then Sunday is Colin Byrne's Eagle Scout ceremony, so I'm going to that. And then I have midterms next week (Bleh) and then it's SPRING BREAK!

But Spring Break is going to be eh because I'm going to be spending the whole break with the Trombone Choir on a trip up to Washington DC. I mean, it's not that bad (I'm kind of excited) but there are other things I'd rather be doing, you know? Oh well!

And then I'm going to be going to Fairhope's Prom at the end of the month. That should be exciting. Hopefully it won't be lame but I can manage to have fun if it is.

"If it is" is a fun phrase. Three two letter words starting with 'i'? Ooooh, I could make it "If it is in" and that would make it even MORE awesome! I think that's about as good as it can get? Unless I'm allowed to repeat words, making the sentence "If it is in it" and thereby COMPLETING THE CIRCLE OF AWESOMENESS

...An odd tangent to go off on. I apologise. But yeah, so all of that is happening this month(!), so it's going to be pretty hectic.

But, stress doesn't worry me, because I just bought the best game ever. It's called "Muscle March."



Just... wow. It's amazing. Words can't describe how much fun it is. Seriously. And for just $5? (I already had $9 credit left in my Nintendo account, so I didn't even have to spend any money [right now] to buy it!) Great deal. It's colourful, upbeat, quirky, and fast-paced. Fun stuff.

But yeah, that's about it. :3
