Journal bluesky74656's Journal: The last few days 1
Ah, life is good with Halo PC. Just got done with some awesome gaming. Banshee battles are teh r0x0rs! Err... excuse me. I'm tired, so here are the highlights of the past few days.
The football game against CCC was a blow-out. 36-0 in the first quarter, held throuought the rest of the game. For the halftime show we were the only band, but it was muddy so we did the whole track thing again. No flag dodging this time, though. We came and played one for our side at the visitor's stands basically because no one was there to hear us at the home stands.
Sunday: First Team meeting and the Kickoff. For those of you who don't know, and I'm assuming that includes everyone reading this, Team is the organization responsible for putting together the bi-annual LifeTeen retreats, and this is the first year I'm old enough to be on it. I can already tell it's going to be a lot of fun. Then the kick off was everything it was hyped up to be, although we could have had more time on the activities. The movie they made was great.
Oh, here comes the drama part, Monday. Mass in the morning. Whoever decided to do that is an idiot, because it means I have to be there a half hour early, on a MONDAY! First off, I couldn't get any volume out of the amp I used. Being, in all likelihood, the best guitarist there, I wanted to be heard. I bet not a one of you heard my solo. Arg. Then one of the two songs I wanted to do got cut. I'll say it now, Miss Hawley should be tied and fed to rabid chipmunks. Fried. Alive. That about wiped me out for the rest of the day.
Today, basically band practice. We have to learn a new show in 2 days. Again. Not fun. It'll work, but I wish we had more time to work on the music, because, IMO, Bohemian Rhapsody is an extrememly well-written piece. If we can pull this off, it'll sound really good.
Can't leave without a word about homecoming, can I? My group, as far as I know, includes:

Can't leave without a word about homecoming, can I? My group, as far as I know, includes:
Me, Rachael, Joe, Rob, Matt Talty, Lora, Kristen.
Joe, Rob, and I are going to the St. Helen CoffeeHouse around 5, and meeting at Matt's around 6:15, then going to the Bass Lake Tavern for dinner, then to the dance, then back to my place to hang out until everyone has to leave. We'll see how it turns out.
