This will be my last post on my personal LJ. No one really reads this anymore, and just in case they do heres the notice that I won't be actively posting anymore. Sorry Zoe, but everyone has a MySpace now. I'll probably still post and look around at community LiveJournals but my blogging here is done for the time being.

Well, well, well

2006-07-17T23:21:20Z

I've come to realization today that I am the only person who spends a good amount of my time on the internet who doesn't have a MySpace, so, I went and made one! HAH. Don't kid yourself, I would never. I just have to say I am indeed disappointed in the lot of you. Well, this fad is dieing just like Fall Out Boy did. I know i'm a bit behind the times to be giving any opinion about MySpace, but like I said, i've just truely realized this now as I came to notice that EVERYONE on my LiveJournal friends list has a MySpace.

Anywho... I learned what a Shapoopy is today! Eh, thats what happens when your sick for a whole weekend I guess.

Ahahaha

I just got my pictures back from development and there sure are some hilarious ones. Alot of them ended up blurry and some off-centered so that was a bit disapointing, but for the most part the were good. I have some great shots with Lukkasson and me with our OH so clever poses and there's one really funny shot of you (Zoe) looking a bit hammered. I a good way, I swear :p.

I should see if I can get a cd of these. They won't be as nice of quality scanned, but I guess i'll try! Some of these pics you have to see!

Im back!

Back from Canada and done with the Patriots trip. This trip sure as hell wasn't as good as last years, planning and activities wise, but I had alot more fun, socially, with all of the friends I had made in the band for the past year. So there was the good and bad of the trip but either way, i'm glad to be home.

There's way to much to say about the trip, and i'm to tired right now, so i'll just point out some of my highlights of it.

- Became the Music Trivia champion of the week, along with Zoe
- Got my picture taken with some Japanese boys
- Completed what will surely be the hardest parade of my life, the Calgary Stampede
- Had the most memorable shaving cream incident with my roomates
- Befriended a bee
- Ate Buffalo

So theres some of the more memorable parts of the trip, can't wait to see where we're going next year! Now I have much unpacking to do.

Quite the early post

2006-06-27T13:14:36Z

We're done! Yesterday was our last MN parade before the trip! Patriots is pretty much done except for a couple parades scattered through July and August. The trip is looking good so far, my room sounds like its going to be fun, and where i'm going its supposed to be beautiful, i'm just worried about the lack of sleep we'll be getting with wake up calls at 4:45 in the morning :(.

Well, I still have UB to get to this fine morning so I should probably go dry my hair. I would skip if I could but I did yesterday, and apparently, so did Kevin Kwong from my class. Good news though, I have the day off! No softball or Patriots tonight so i'm looking forward to sitting around, playing video games for the afternoon.

Northeast parade went down yesterday. What a piece of crap that was. No breaks AT ALL for playing and one f'ed up mesh. Anywho, theres only 3 parades left until the trip and then thats pretty much it for marching band this year! That went by fast.

Tonight I have a softball game at 6 againest some team...Well it doesn't really matter who, me and Hannah's team has been unbeatable our entire season so far :D! HAHAHAHAHHAHa!

Upward Bound is going by- er, swell, I suposse. I pretty much draw in every class, seeing as how I don't need to pay any attention to the teachers and I think its impossible to fail the course as long as you're in the classroom. In Latin, me and Kevin Kwong drew pictures of each other's future. I drew him a member of the Geek Squad at an RPG/WOW convention, then he drew me as a McDonalds worker...at a McDonalds convention known as M3.

Nothing else new that I can think of.

OH EM GEE

2006-06-12T03:09:20Z

IM updating in CHICAGO! Thats all. Oh, joe is here with me. Half naked. WOW, AWKWARD.

We saw crazy, CRAZY people here....This is Joe now. And yeah, a bunch of boobs and penises (or is that peni? no sé.) Pigeons almost pooped on Sam. And a guy asked us where Simon was. And my donut sucked. I hate Chicago.

But hey, at least we have James. OMFRICKENGOSH!!! Biggest hair EVER! (The lady that just walked by was 5' 5".....6' 7" including her hair.)

We leave now. You now. Sleep is needed. Chemotherapy tomorrow! Huzzooray.

THE DAY OF THE SATAN!!!!11!

2006-06-06T20:25:53Z

Well here it is 3 pm
the finish of another school day
and here I am by myself
just sittin here, typing away

Enough of that tomfoolery, down to business. Which really isnt anything. Patriots is getting rough, and it was all looking sooo well this season. I was set to room with Debbie and Jill only for the Canada trip, and Debbie doesn't sleep on hotel beds for one reason or another, so I was looking so forward to having my own bed the whole trip! But nope! Now some St. Anthony girl is rooming with us too and Jill and Debbie don't seem to like her to much at all...

Only 2 days of my junior year left. Still no clue on a career or college choice, but, what the hell, I have a whole 'nother year to decide that crap. Well next year looks good! I found out today that Sellman dropped the directing position for the fall play!!! YES! I can't be happier. No more biased or type casting, the son of a bitch.

I had something else, but I can't remember now. Eh, probably nothing interesting. Well then. Im off

Whats a-happening? Weeelll, for one, im sitting here in Upward Bound with a lack of homework, so, im updating this. I was supossed to be having one last Mock Trial meeting of the year today after school, but Wicklund cancelled on us. Jerk, I wanted some pizza.

Another thing I learned today was just how busy i've really been. I looked at my schedule of the past few months and realized that I haven't had an open, non-busy Saturday since... March 17th. And I won't have a free one til June 17th. Hey, thats my sisters birthday...Oh damnit. So, i've been busy.

I have work tonight from 4:15 to 9. AH! I hate work. Its not bad or anything, but with my schedule, I'd like some time off right now. This summer's going to be busy too, well, June I mean. Oh, Patriots.

YAY! Austin justs called and now I get to see the X-men 3 movie tonight at midnight!! I'm happy again! And now I have something to think about to get me through work tonight! Austin you rock. But then so do Cody and Chase for suggesting the idea.

A bit aggravated

2006-05-18T20:03:26Z

I get to Upward Bound today, expecting to get the past 3 checks i've missed getting the past months and Lisa hands me two. Apparently, the other check is gone now because it's been to long since it was handed out. Yeah, so when the FUCK were they planning on telling me!? Thats 40 fucking bucks I lost cause Lisa said it was some new bull shit policy that I had to pick up the checks at AR on a Saturday. Wait a sec, didn't you just give me the TWO OTHER CHECKS here at SLP?? God damnit, i'm pissed. "Well at least it's some money!" she says with a smile. Annnnnd fuck you.

Ohh man

2006-05-14T19:20:37Z

Imogen Heap(Frou Frou) is going to be preforming in Minneapolis next Tuesday(23rd) and tickets are only 15 bucks. I really wanna go, but i'm not sure if I can! Hmm

Edit: I just read that the concert is already sold out :(

Greatest night ever!

2006-05-14T18:37:31Z

Yesterday was so amazing! Everything went right, for the most part. Dinner at W.A. Frost was awesome, and prom itself was, well, decent. Shitiest music i've ever had to be forced to listen to but seeing everyone looking so nice and dressed up was great. Austin and I even got quite a few compliments on our 20s style outfits. Played pool afterwards and then hung out. That was my junior prom quickly sumed up. Great.

Today's Mothers Day and I don't know what to do. I thought at first, maybe i'd pay to take her to a movie, but there aren't any good ones out. So I don't know if my family and I will go out to eat with her tonight or something, but I gotta do something for her today.

Besides prom and Mothers Day, i've now realized the GREAT amount of homework I have to do ;_;. So now, i'll be getting to that and then start cleaning the house for my mom.

My week to come:

Monday- Sandpiper, softball practice(6)
Tuesday- ~~Patriots~~ Work(4:15-10)
Wednesday- Choir practice(6-7), Softball game(7:15)
Thursday- Work(5-10)
Friday- What? Nothing?! I HAVE A DAY OFF?!? Something's gonna come up, you watch.
Saturday- ~~Patriots~~ Body Works at Science Museum of MN, Work(5:30-9:30)

I need an excuse to quit work. I'm missing too many Patriot practices and it sucks.

Another week

2006-05-08T02:37:21Z

Another busy week.

Monday- PRACTICE PATRIOTS MUSIC(Don't worry Zoe! Its almost memorized, I promise!), Band concert
Tuesday- Upward Bound, Patriots
Wednesday- Softball game
Thursday- Upward Bound
Friday- Prom decorating

Crap, I have to schedule a time somewhere in this packed schedule where Sadie can practice putting up my hair for prom to. AH! So busy! But this weekend coming up is going to be the most relaxing, happiest weekend of my junior year :). Wait a sec...Oh god, I hope Sara made restaurant reservations...

Anywho, there's good news. Bless his heart, Mike T. said he would take my hours for work tomorrow which means I can call in sick for work Saturday which means my prom schedule is set and I AM HAPPY! :D

In other good news, I got through my entire 5 day sugar and caffeine-free week of my pain journal, without cheating! I'm proud, and first thing tomorrow, i'm getting some chocolate.

Time to bitch and moan

2006-05-04T21:57:52Z

I started my pain journal yesterday and i'm starving. I gave up sugar and caffeine, and I can't find anything to eat in this house. Well, only 3 more days to go, right? Oh man, this sucks.

In other news...Well...Who am I kidding, I don't have any other news. Um, tomorrow's Friday?

I gotta say

2006-04-26T03:57:17Z

I had orientation for my new job tonight at Super Target. It went fine, half an hour over the time given, but hey, I got paid for it. Yes, everything was going just fine there until I got my schedule. It wasn't a big deal but almost everyday I was scheduled for I couldn't do, however the woman there was really nice and just crossed off the days I couldn't work. I can't do it though, I just can't!

I have no idea what convinced me to go out and grab a job as soon as possible but seeing my schedule for work tonight made me realized it can't be done. When I don't have Patriots I have softball and now when I don't have either of those I now have a job. Social life? FUCK THAT. NO TIME PHOEBE. SORRY, MAYBE NEXT YEAR.

I'm so sorry Austin, for this week especially. I'm completly busy Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday now, oh wait! Can't forget! I now have to work on Sunday to, my brothers birthday none the less. I'm man enough to admit my defeats(most of the time) and this is one of them. I haven't even had an official work day yet and i'm already contemplating quiting. Patriots, softball, school, a job... I can't juggle it, and the thought of throwing any sort of social life in there as it is would be damn near impossible.

I think my new plan for the future now is try and conserve my money and wait a year after high school to get a job to save up for a car and hopefully college too.

I'm not feeling to hot right now, I'm going to bed.

I've just stared reading into the video game symphony concert, Play!, thats going to be in Chicago on May 27, and the guest list is so unbelievably amazing! First of all the Chicagoland Pops orchestra will be preforming loads of various video game pieces, which is reason enough to go, but on top of that the guest list of people who will be there includes video game composers like Nobuo Uematsu(Final Fantasy), Yasunori Mitsuda(Chrono Trigger), and Koji Kondo(ZELDA AND MARIO). God, it sounds so awesome.

To bad I lack the time and money to go. Floor tickets are anywhere from 45 to 125 bucks and balcony seats are 35 to 65 dollars. Going would make my video game life complete though! I want to go! I want to go! I want to go! I want to go! I want to go! I want to go! I want to go!

Oh golly

2006-04-17T17:36:14Z

Just 5 days until the musical opens! Are we prepared? Um, well, thats not really important, is it? Heh... Most of the freggin leads don't even have their god damn lines memorized! Stephen sure as hell pissed me off last practice when he gave us chorus members a short lecture on learning our music. Something like "you all need get your individual parts and music memorized", in a very preachy tone, so then I say back to him "Yeah, and how about you get your GODDAMN LINES MEMORIZED, douche." Now, I didn't say it directly to him (though I should have) but I said it loud enough for the girls around me to hear, to bad those girls were Katie(who always seems to disagree with me) and Mary(whos friends with Stephen), so I didn't exactly get any applause. Jeff heard me though and thought it was hilarious.

Well, thank god that arrogant prick will be gone next year. Seriously, yeah he can act so kudos to him for that but he couldn't sing a song in tune to save his damn life. Hopefully Mr. Wressel and Young are smart enough next year to pick a musical with a lead female cause they'd be screwed out of a lead if they didn't. I just hope next year the lead male goes to Ryan Hay. God, that kid can act AND sing, I know it sounds uterly mad that we have a male singer at our school, but he exists! The only reason he didn't get the part this year is because he's a freshmen.

Though next year, if the lead character IS female no doubt that Baily would get the lead, which is truely disapointing. Yeah, yeah, she's a GOOD singer but definently not one made for broadway, all of those singers at our school all graduated last year.

Okay, i'm almost done with my rant but my one last thing to bitch about is this- If you have lines, STOP YOUR FUCKING BITCHING. Everyday there's always some inconsiderate bastard who comes up to me and says "my lines are so stupid" or "pointless" or something else retarded. I reply to them "well, atleast you HAVE LINES!" Thinking it will shut them up, which it normally would, right? But nope! It doesn't, so next time they say it i'll just tell them, "Yeah your right, it sucks that they give all you talentless chorus guys who didn't get big roles lines, huh? Next time they should just cut those lines...Ass."

I hope that i'm not making this production sound too terrible :p. Trust me, though I bitch, the show will be awesome. Especially with Zach and Amy as two of the leads. Even Sam is pretty funny, though he doesn't really change is tone of voice for any of his lines.

Badda badda badda

2006-04-10T02:59:04Z

Fabulous weekend! Made it into Select band, musical practice went well, I found another job, I got an awesome prom dress and I got to hang out with Austin, Sara, Sam and Anupam. Hopefully the week will go just as well.

Only 2 more weeks of practice until the musical opens and about a month until prom! Right now, Chemistry is the only thing I can still complain of being crappy right now in my life, but otherwise, it's pretty smooth sailing.

Moving on?

2006-04-07T00:15:02Z

Well, I got through my first interview with Super Target today and they told me to come back tomorrow for a second. Hooray(!) I know, but I dont think I want to work there anymore. They told me I would probably get a job working weekends, and to be honest, I dont have the time for that. Though, that would be more hours then im getting now, thank god. I will still be looking or more job opportunities out there and sending in plenty of applications, and if I can only get a new job then I have succeeded. Gamestop is under such shitty ass management I can't stand them, and I can't wait to work elsewhere.

Well, the days of school are flying by so fast it's amazing. The musical opens in about 2 weeks, prom follows soon after that, and then, the end of my junior year! It's so great! Although, this being the end of my junior year, lately i've been struggling with the thought of what i'm going to do after high school. I thought for sure I would have that question figured out by now, but I'm still clueless. So many things I want to do! I'm so damn indecisive!!

Yes!

2006-04-05T16:02:09Z

Austin! The portable FireFox is working great! Thanks a ton. :D

Been awhile

2006-03-31T22:50:20Z

I would be playing Kingdom Hearts 2 right now, but when I came downstairs today I stumbled unto Chloe and her friends playing Guitar Hero. Little bastards. Well, I decided to be nice today and not kick Chloe off, at least, not in front of her friends...

So busy! I've barely had time to think this week, and this weekends gonna be worse, always something to do. Well, only about 3 more weeks of musical practice! I can't wait til it opens, its going to be amazing. April is going to be busy too. 3 siblings with birthdays, the musical preformances, the loong practices that will lead up to opening night... Oh and theres that homework thing.

Well, since i'm not playing Kingdom Hearts right now I think I will get to work on finding Uptown theater directions for me and Austin tonight, and get to work on one of my Sandpiper articles.

And Chase, I still have your hat held hostage! Ahahaha!

Going pretty good

2006-03-25T22:40:20Z

Today's practice was great. No real hard work or anything, and most importantly, no dancing. Sweet. After going through Act 1 i've seen that Zach playing Bud is the best decision Mr. Young and Mr. Wressel made in casting this play. He is so fucking hilarious, and is definently going to steal this show.

We made a quick costume parade today to, and I got to wear my pirate and black and white secretary outfit. They are so cute! I got so lucky this production in costuming because, not to brag, but I have to say the black and white skirt and blouse I was given is the cutest secretary outfit i've seen. I can't wait for the show in a month!

I also got quite a moral booster today cause during the costume parade when I was in my secretary outfit I got loads of compliments on my dress and, oddly enough, my hair. I don't know why but apparently people like my hair style... Stephen, Hootie, Joe and a few others said that they liked my hair for some reason...

Now i'm going to work on my homework and then go visit Austin to see if he's feeling any better.

A short break

2006-03-22T02:24:30Z

Been practicing my trumpet for little over an hour and i'm taking a short break now. I have to ace my audition tomorrow, i'll die if I don't make it into Select band! So now i'm eating chips and listening to in-game sonic music before I start practicing The Cavalier again.

I also have my second driver's lisence test tomorrow(failed first one), you know, just in case I wasn't stressed enough about my audition tomorrow, I have my freggin lisence test to worry about too. Perfect. I'm gonna end up failing 3 times like my brother, I know it.

Well, time to get back to work.

All good things must come to an end

2006-03-19T18:38:57Z

Spring Break, you came and we all loved you and now you're leaving oh so abruptly and are making crying fools out of all of us. Are you happy now?!

Ah, well i'll end out this wonderful week of responsibility-free hanging out by seeing V for Vendetta yet again with Austin, Sara and Sam, and going to my dads for dinner. I can't believe we are already at the 3rd trimester of school, man this went fast, thank god. Only ONE more tri of GOD DAMN CHEMISTRY! Oh thank the heavens. Now if only this snow will ever go away we might be able to start celebrating spring. Spring in March? I know, its a crazy thought, huh?

I haven't even beat Phoenix Wright OR Chrono Trigger yet. For shame.
