Journal bluesky74656's Journal: A long, long time... 5
Wow, I haven't written here since last Thursday. Seriously, if I go more than, like, half a week, someone yell at me.
Friday, Major Halo Party. Rob and Joe at my house, doing some serious "beta testing" of Halo PC. I'm really going to have to get that game when it comes out... which was today actually. On that note, I really need a job. Anyways, the Halo was great, I played one of the most awesome games of starcraft I've ever played, and we stayed up till 6. Woke up at 10 to go play at a football game. That was interesting. We were standing, waiting for the pregame, and I just wanted to get to our seats so i could sleep, but I woke up once I stepped on the field. There were major thunderstorms that night, and it was slipper as all heck. In fact, they wouldn't even let us play the half time show on the field, we had to stand in lines and play, which was a wholly unpopular move. I didn't like it because I have a relatively long instrument, and when we play like that, more often than not I end up hitting people. To make things worse, they decided to have the flags still run between us.
See blue in peripheral vision. DUCK!!!
After the game, there were two parties, one at Chris' that started right away, and one at Rachaels that started at 7. Oh, perfect, I'll go to Chris' until around 6:30, then go to Rachael's. Not exactly. It went alright until I picked up Joe and we headed for Rachael's party. We were 15 minutes late and were the first ones there. Cue alarm bells in head In fact, only two other people showed up, one of them only for about 15 minutes. Joe and I were bored out of our minds, so after about an hour and a half, we ditched as politely was we could, and headed back to Chris's, where we basically played more Halo and I got lots of examples of what happens if you take one wrong step backwards. Think respawn time of about 25 sec.
Sunday, we played at the Chicken Barbeque, where the only notable thing was that my trombone was really playing bad and starting to piss me off, and we got free ice cream. Really good ice cream. After that, I hung around at home until the LifeTeen Mass at 6, followed by a coffee house party 'till 9.
Monday, we didn't have to go to school, but there wasn't much to do on a day that was about 50 degrees and rainy. I did basically nothing untl I started my Chemistry project at 10pm.
Today, I woke up at 7:24am. Not a good thing, as we have proven that if I leave later than 7:44am I will be late to school. Set record time getting dressed and packing books and was out of the house by 7:40. Not too bad. Sat through religion class, got a test back in Chem. that I aced, didn't turn in a 5 paragraph essay for History, and took it relatively easy during band class. Cleaned my trombone, finally. Joe got out at 2 because he was supposed to get his license back, but his mom did it for him earlier, so we just sent him to go get us food, which was very nice. We need to elect one person per practice day to go get food for the rest of the band. Anyway, practice was cold, but I play better when it's cold. I don't remember most of the moves for the first show, glad we're not doing it this week. Joe and I measured our respective vehicles to see who's was taller, we both called it a tie.
Sorry about the extreme length of this post, from now on I'll try to abide by the open source mantra: Release early, release often.
