I'M BACK!!! POSTED AT 05:16 PM Ok so technically I got back on Sunday from Chicago (for Monster Spider) but I just haven't had time to post anything. Well I am kinda restricted on time right now so you won't be getting the full detail about what happened in Chicago and I plan to post pictures from the trip (just temporarily, the H/D gallery will be back) I am just waiting for Olivia and Mike to e-mail me there pictures, most of mine didn't turn out. *begins to cry* I was a moron and didn't know you had to turn the flash on whenever you were indoors. DOH! >.< But I got a couple good ones. So yeah the full detail Chicago bit will probably come up on like Saturday, and a few pictures as well. Now I must go, fare thee well!

Party Night POSTED AT 03:05 AM Argh, damn computer kicked me off before I could finish my entry. Sorry, here is the entry I was typing before I got kicked off. Ok so tonight is hopefully party night! Hopefully becuase we have a somewhat southern baptist with us so that is causing a problem. Last night was kinda like a party night. We went to this bitchin bar called simply A Bar. For those who live in Utah it was a lot like the Pie. The interior was like a log cabin, it had messages people had written ａｌｌ ｏｖｅｒ ｔｈｅ ｗａｌｌｓ， ａｎｄ ｂｉｔｃｈｉｎ ｐｏｓｔｅｒｓ ａｎｄ ｓｉｇｎｓ． Ｔｈｅ ｆｏｏｄ ｗａｓ ｒｅａｌｌｙ ｃｈｅｅｐ ａｎｄ ｉｔ ｗａｓ ｒｅａｌｌｙ ｇｏｏｄ， ｐｌｕｓ ｔｈｅ ｍｅｎｕ ｗａｓ ｈｕｇｅ！ Ｔｈｅ ｓｅｒｖｉｃｅ ｗａｓ ａｂｓｏｌｕｔｌｙ ａｍａｚｉｎｇ！ Ｍｙ ｍｏｍ ｉｓ ａ ｖｅｇｉｔａｒｉａｎ ｓｏ ｓｈｅ ａｓｋｅｄ ｔｏ ｓｅｅ ｔｈｅ ｖｅｇｇｉｅ ｍｅｎｕ． Ｔｈｅｒｅ ｗｅｒｅ ｆｏｕｒ ｏｆ ｕｓ ｍｅ， ｍｙ ｍｏｍ， ｍｙ ａｕｎｔ， ａｎｄ Ｊｏｅｍｙ （ｗｈｏ ｉｓ ｎｏ ｌｏｎｇｅｒ ａｎｎｏｙｉｎｇ ｍｅ） ｓｏ ａｆｔｅｒ ｗｅ ｏｒｄｅｒｅｄ （Ｉ ｂｏｕｇｈｔ ａｎ ａｍａｚｉｎｇ ｃｈｅｅｓｅ ａｎｄ ｖｅｇｇｉｅ ｐｉｚｚａ ａｓ ｄｉｄ ｍｙ ｍｏｍ） ｔｈｅ ｏｗｎｅｒ ｇｕｙ， ｌｏｏｋｅｄ ｌｉｋｅ ｅａｒｌｙ ｔｈｉｒｔｉｅｓ ｌａｔｅ ｔｗｅｎｔｉｅｓ， ａｎｄ ｗｅａｒｉｎｇ ｏｎｅ ｏｆ ｔｈｏｓｅ ｆｕｎｎｙ ｃｈｉｃｋ ｉｎ ａ ｂｉｋｉｎｉ ｓｈｉｒｔｓ ｗｉｔｈｏｕｔ ｔｈｅ ｈｅａｄ ｓｏ ｈｉｓ ｈｅａｄ ｗａｓ ｒｅｐｌａｃｉｎｇ ｔｈｅ ｃｈｉｃｋ ｉｎ ｔｈｅ ｂｉｋｉｎｉ‘ｓ ｈｅａｄ， ｉｆ ｔｈａｔ ｍａｄｅ ａｎｙ ｓｅｎｓｅ． Ａｎｙｗａｙｓ ｓｏ ｔｈｅ ｇｕｙ ｃｏｍｅｓ ｏｖｅｒ ａｎｄ ｉｓ ｌｉｋｅ， ｗｈｏ ｉｓ ｔｈｅ ｖｅｇｉｔａｒｉａｎ？ Ｍｙ ｍｏｍ ｒａｉｓｅｄ ｈｅｒ ｈａｎｄ ａｎｄ ｈｅ ｗａｓ ｊｕｓｔ ｄｏｕｂｌｅ ｃｈｅｃｋｉｎｇ ｔｈａｔ ｓｈｅ ｈａｄｎ‘ｔ ｏｒｄｅｒｅｄ ａｎｙ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ ｄｉｓｈｅｓ ｍｙ ａｕｎｔ ａｎｄ ｊｏｅｍｙ ｄｉｄ， ｂｅｃｕａｓｅ ｉｆ ｙｏｕ ｄｏｎ‘ｔ ｋｎｏｗ ａ ｌｏｔ ｏｆ Ｊａｐａｎｅｓｅ ｆｏｏｄ ｈａｓ ｓｏｍｅ ｋｉｎｄ ｏｆ ｍｅａｔ ｉｎ ｉｔ， ｍａｉｎｌｙ ｆｉｓｈ． Ｓｏ ｔｈａｔ ｗａｓ ｒｅａｌｌｙ ｎｉｃｅ ｔｈａｔ ｈｅ ｄｉｄ ｔｈａｔ． Ａｎｙｗａｙｓ ｓｏ ｙｅｓ ｔｈｅ ｆｏｏｄ ｗａｓ ｇｒｅａｔ，Ｉ ａｃｔｕａｌｌｙ ｌｉｋｅｄ ｔｈｅｉｒ ｂｅｅｒ (ｍｙ ｍｏｍ ｌｅｔ ｍｅ ｈａｖｅ ｓｏｍｅ ｏｆ ｈｅｒｓ） ｓｅｒｖｉｃｅ ｗａｓ ｇｒｅａｔ， ａｎｄ ｔｈｅ ａｔｍｏｓｐｈｅｒｅ ｗａｓ ｇｒｅａｔ． Ｉｆ ｙｏｕ ａｒｅ ｅｖｅｒ ｉｎ Ｋｙｏｔｏ Ｉ ｈｉｇｈｌｙ ｒｅｃｃｏｍｅｎｄ ｉｔ． Ｓｏ Ａ Ｂａｒ ｗａｓ ｓｅｔ ｉｎ ｋｉｎｄ ｏｆ ａ ｂａｃｋ ａｌｌｅｙ ｏｆ ｔｈｉｓ ｍａｊｏｒ ｐａｒｔｙ ｔｙｐｅ ｓｔｒｅｅｔ． Ｙｏｕ ｋｎｏｗ， ｆｌａｓｈｉｎｇ ｌｉｇｈｔｓ， ｌｏｔｓ ｏｆ ｓｈｏｐｓ， ａｎｄ ａｌｌ ｔｈａｔ ｊａｚｚ． Ｏｎ ｔｈｅ ｗａｙ ｂａｃｋ ｔｏ ｔｈｅ ｈｏｔｅｌ ｗｅ ｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ ｂｙ ａ ｂｏｏｋｓｔｏｒｅ ａｎｄ Ｉ ｇｏｔ ｓｏｍｅ ｒａｎｄｏｍ ｓｈｏｊｏ (ｃｈｉｃｋ Ｓｏ ｙｅａｈ ｗｅ ａｒｅ ｊｕｓｔ ｆｒｅｓｈｅｎｉｎｇ ｕｐ ａ ｂｉｔ ｂｅｆｏｒｅ ｗｅ ｇｏ ｏｕｔ ｔｏｎｉｇｈｔ， ｗｅ ａｒｅ ｇｏｉｎｇ ｔｏ ｇｏ ｔｏ ａ ｒｅｓｔｕｒａｎｔ ｃａｌｌｅｄ Ｚａｐｐａ ｔｈａｔ ｉｓ ｓｕｐｐｏｓｅｄｌｙ ｒｅｃｏｍｍｅｎｄｅｄ ｂｙ Ｄａｖｉｄ Ｂｏｗｉｅ ｓｏ ｔｈａｔ ｓｈｏｕｌｄ ｂｅ ｆｕｎ． Ｔｈｅｎ Ｉ ｊｕｓｔ ｈｏｐｅ ｔｏ ｇｏ ｐａｒｔｙ ｏｕｔ ｏｎ ｔｈｅ ｔｏｗｎ， Ｉ ｒｅａｌｌｙ ｗａｎｔ ｔｏ ｆｉｎｄ ｓｏｍｅ ｒｅｃｏｒｄ ｓｔｏｒｅ ａｎｄ ｂｕｙ ａ Ｊａｐａｎｅｓｅ ｒｏｃｋ ａｌｂｕｍ， ｎｏｔ ａ ｐｏｐ ｒｏｃｋ， ｂｕｔ ｌｉｋｅ ａｎ ａｃｔｕａｌ ｒｏｃｋ ａｌｂｕｍ． Ｉ ｄｏｎ‘ｔ ｋｎｏｗ ａｎｙ ｂａｎｄｓ ｓｏ Ｉ ａｍ ｊｕｓｔ ｇｏｉｎｇ ｗｉｔｈ ｗｈａｔ ｌｏｏｋｓ ｇｏｏｄ． Ｗｅｌｌ Ｉ ａｍ ｇｏｉｎｇ ｔｏ ｇｏ ａｎｄ ｔａｋｅ ａ ｑｕｉｃｋ ｓｈｏｗｅｒ ａｎｄ ｄｏｎ ａｌｌ ｏｆ ｍｙ ｂｌａｃｋ ｃｌｏｔｈｉｎｇ ａｎｄ ｓｕｃｈ． Maybe Ｉ ｗｉｌｌ ｐｕｔ ｏｎ ｍｙ ｏｒａｎｇｅ ｗｉｇ， Ｉ ｂｒｏｕｇｈｔ ｔｈｉｓ ｃｒａｚｙ ａｓｓ ｏｒａｎｇｅ ｗｉｇ Ｉ ｈａｖｅ ｔｈａｔ Ｉ ｍｉｇｈｔ ｗｅａｒ ｆｏｒ ａ ｂｉｔ． Ｉｔｓ ｃｏｏｌ，Ｉ ｌｉｋｅ ｉｔ． Ｈｏｐｅ ｔｏ ｆｉｎｄ ｓｏｍｅ ｍｏｒｅ ｋｉｃｋ ａｓｓ ｃｌｏｔｈｉｎｇ， Ｉ ｗｉｌｌ ｔｅｌｌ ｙｏｕ ａｂｏｕｔ ｔｈｅ ｔｗｏ ｃｏｍｐｌｅｔｌｙ ｋｉｃｋ ａｓｓ ｓｈｉｒｔｓ Ｉ ａｌｒｅａｄｙ ｂｏｕｇｈｔ， ｇｏｔｔａ ｇｅｔ ａ Ｊａｐａｎｓｅ ｒｏｃｋ ａｌｂｕｍ， ｇｏｔｔａ ｆｉｎｄ ｓｏｍｅｔｈｉｎｇ ｔｈａｔ ｈａｓ Ｇａａｒａ （ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒ ｆｒｏｍ Ｎａｒｕｔｏ ｍａｎｇａ） ｏｎ ｉｔ ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ Ｇａａｒａ ｉｓ ａ ｆｕｃｋｉｎｇ ｂａｄ ａｓｓ！ Ｉ ：ｈｅａｒｔ： Ｇａａｒａ！ Ａｎｄ ｏｆ ｃｏｕｒｓｅ ｇｏｔｔａ ｇｅｔ ａ ｈｏｔｔ Ｊａｐａｎｅｓｅ ｇｕｙ ｔｏ ｍａｋｅ ｏｕｔ ｗｉｔｈ！ Ｗｈａｔ ｈａｐｐｅｎｓ ｉｎ Ｋｙｏｔｏ ｓｔａｙｓ ｉｎ Ｋｙｏｔｏ！ＴＩＭＥ ＴＯ Go ＧＥＴ ＴＲＡＳＨＥＤ ＯＦＦ ＭＹ ＦＵＣＫＩＮ ＡＳＳ！！！！！！！！！！ Listening to: ｃｏｏｌ ｊａｐ Feeling: PARTY! |

So little faith POSTED AT 06:16 PM God you guys why does my mom have so little faith in me for this tryout? For those who don't know I am going to tryout again to see if I can get into my high school's Jazz Band and Wind Ensemble. The director told me I could try out again at the beginning of the year so that is what I am going to do. For my tryout piece it is this hard song called "Spain" it is by Chick Corea (sp?) It is a really good and fun song to play, just a little hard. It has a lot of syncopation in it and these annoying bits where it goes from like a low F to a high E. It is hard but I think I am coming along it quite well. I've really only had it for like 3 or 4 days max and true it doesn't sound like the recording at the moment but it is coming along nicely. Guess my mom doesn't think so. Yesterday on the way to my trumpet lesson she was like, "Do you think it would help if we got somebody to write you a recommendation letter?" and, "I don't want to go in and be the "how dare you don't let my precious into this class" but it looks like that may be what I have to do" and "what are you going to do if you don't make it? Are you going to give up Concert Band or Japanese cause I don't want you to give up either" I said, "neither do I mom, and I don't know what I will do. Right now I am in the whole "Failure is not an option" mind frame" Then today while I was practicing she came in and was like, "Do you really think it is a good idea to play a complicated piece you are not that familiar with or a piece you do know?" I simply told her I wanted to play the Chick Corea song and that I was going to do just that. She said, "Ok" It feels like she just has so little faith in me for this audition and it is not putting my spirits into great shape. Great my own mom doesn't even think I can do it. I would like to see her try, it isn't exactly the easiest piece in the entire world (my teacher said it was like college level) and I haven't had it for very long. All the other pieces I have are too easy and wouldn't impress him at all. Plus they are all really repetative, and I hate that. The Chick Corea song is fun and challenging and I know I will be able to pull it off. I'm going to get into that band even if it kills me! I just wish my mom at least acted like she had more faith in me. Oh well, I will get in with that Chick Corea piece and show her that I can play it. Beat that mom.

School POSTED AT 08:55 PM Well I started High School on Monday, it is ok, not very interesting. I did my tryout for Jazz Band and Wind Ensemble today, I hope I made it. There were five other kids in my band class trying out, 1 clairnet, and 4 flutes. He gave us a piece of music to site read that the W.E. had played in past years. I thought I did ok on it, for only having like 15 min. I kept screwing up though on stupid C, for some reason I kept thinking it was a #C when it wasn't so I think he counted me down for that. But my Chick Corea piece went well I thought, except for like the 1st major, I totally blew that, it was because I forgot how it went but just started anyway. Like I can read music no problem, but I do like to know what it sounds like before I play it, it just helps. When I left to go to my next class he did look at me and smile and say "bye" he did the same thing when I was leaving after school (I had to go and get my trumpet out of his room) When I was walking out of the band building though I ran into my buddy Daniel (he was first chair in our band last year, I was second, he is a cool kid I I don't know if I could survive Concert Band. There are 30 something kids in there, no joke. I think it is like 33. All of the other trumpets seem really annoying, I am once again the only girl trumpet. All they did was talk to each other on the first day. Neil and Josh are in that class for those who know them, but they want to get out and talk to each other all the time. All my other friends sit in different sections so I can't talk to them without being noticed since it is such a small class. Plus Lance Day is in that class. Grrrr.......I hate Lance with a fiery passion that consumes my soul, I mean I hate that kid. I swear to god one day I am going to jam my strait mute up his ass. In 8th grade he beat me out for first chair once, boy oh boy did he torment me. I would just be sitting their minding my own business and he would turn to me and yell, "Duh Marin Duh!" really loudly in an annoying voice! And he would just keep repeating it! He would do things like that to me the entire time he was first chair, just torment me, how I should know that note but I don't, and if he messed up he would turn to me and yell that it was me who had messed up, or blame it on me. I remember once literally right before I was about to start my playing test he yelled "Don't mess up Marin!" in the most annoying voice. I hate him. So yeah, I will definetly let you guys know if I make it our not. Until then peace out! P.S. I added a new link to the funniest damn thing I have ever seen in my life. It is genius, pure genius. It is the "Rejected Family Learning Channel Commercials" one. Download it, I'm dead serious. Do it! Peace! Listening to: Mic Commancer by MSI Feeling: many different ones |

him) He asked me how the audition went and I told him I thought it went ok. He said he would talk to Bateman for me, he takes private lessons from the guy. I really, REALLY! hope I make it!
