And it starts...

I'm so tired.

Mandatory photo blog time. Can I get an 'amen?'

So a cow walks into a bar...

no seriously. This was me on Halloween:

Uhm...moo.

And again...moo.

Then some friends came over:

Sam

Sebastian and Tessa

Taylor and Jimmy

And the beautiful Mrs. Shaggy Moulton

Yes...us crazy band kids. We threw together some costumes just hours after getting off a BOA bus. Actually...I was in Austin until a couple of hours before they all came over. Taylor is wearing half my uniform, I gave Jimmy a rolly briefcase, and Tessa...that is SO my Pirate hat. Three cheers for last minute costumes! (Kudos to Sam for Shaggy's makeup and nails. How the crap did you get those eyelashes on him?)

So we went a-trickin' and a-treatin'. Last stop, of course, was Rachael's house. We made poses in her lawn, but she made us pose at her door for the picture. (The lawn poses were funnier...but eh. Whatayagunnado?)

It was a lot of fun. For some strange reason. *shrug* there, I made an entry, ya happy!?!?!

EAT MORE CHICKEN!

Yes...my cousin IS the cutest thing alive. Thanks for asking.

Yeah, Dubya!

Four more years.

Four more long years.

Then...Hilary & Barack Obama in 2008, baby!

Sweet, sweet, brownies.

ElCapitanAndy: Yeah.
Jiminy05Cricket: thank god after 4 days I'll rarely ever see him
ElCapitanAndy: That was creepy, and I was like, "Woah, that's creepy, he needs a new hobby"
ElCapitanAndy: yeah
Jiminy05Cricket: haha seriously.
Jiminy05Cricket: At least he wasn't groping me today.
ElCapitanAndy: yeah
Jiminy05Cricket: He stared at me the whole pep rally, too.
ElCapitanAndy: EW.
Jiminy05Cricket: the one on Friday
ElCapitanAndy: OH YEAH
ElCapitanAndy: I saw that
Jiminy05Cricket: yeah
ElCapitanAndy: It's so scary
Jiminy05Cricket: and when I noticed he'd play it off and wave like he was turning to say hi
Jiminy05Cricket: *shudder*
ElCapitanAndy: lol
ElCapitanAndy: He's so scary
Jiminy05Cricket: I've never had someone infatuated with me
Jiminy05Cricket: he's not scary, he's hella annoying
Jiminy05Cricket: he told morgan he was an assclown
Jiminy05Cricket: she was like "ya think?"
Jiminy05Cricket: he was acting like a tard, and she was like "why are you being such a moron, sean!?!?!"
ElCapitanAndy: lol
ElCapitanAndy: Owned.
Jiminy05Cricket: and he just goes "I'm just bein' an assclown"
ElCapitanAndy: Yeah, he IS an assclown
Jiminy05Cricket: yeah, and he needs to never touch me again
ElCapitanAndy: Yeah, that's be cool

Ah, Sean Harris. Black freshman trumpet kid who wont stop acting like he's my boyfriend. His arms around my waist, his hands on my shoulders...it's just...a little...odd.

Tha's all I hafta say abowt thayt.

So I got a text message from Scott @ 4am Friday...

"Tonight was so tragic. You'll be hearing about it for years to come."

We had a conversation about the accident, and all I could do was tear up and wonder how everyone was. I couldn't sleep after we ended our conversation...but...I just prayed for Tricia and Ariel, and hoped everything would be ok.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday was fun, homecoming pregame stuff sucks, but I did get to see Tamara (woot) and we did get to leave the game early cause of the rain. That, and DC let us take our uniforms home to dry them out on chairs and showers and such for Saturday. I did the Farmer spell out in the bandhall...but apparently the Farmerettes did it in the stadium (those whores!) AFTER WE LEFT...I listenend to the game on the raido, and it was frickin' awesome. Times 1,000. Gooooood game. Way to win in the 3rd overtime, folks!

--------------------------------------------------------------

A lot of people are sad about not making state...but COME ON...1st @ Area? We are awesome, kids. So what if we went to 5th in finals...we got 1st in prelims...those finals judges just had a different preference. We had 2 frullin' awesome shows, and we should be SO proud. That's all I hafta say about that. <3

I spent $45 on bags for my trumpet babies. I got them pirate bags with halloween rings, glow in the dark vampire teeth, PLAY DOUGH (we had shape making contests on the bus...yay!) tootsie rools and WHISTLE POPS (those things are the shiz). Good times. I love them, and thats why I went broke doing something nice for them.

This year is awesome. One more contest...then that's it for us. That's it for me...for good. How sad.

"Weeeeee were the champions, of prelims.
And we'll keep on fighting till BOA.
What's with the Judges?
We just won prelims!
No need for Finals, Cause we were the champions....
OF PRELIMS!!!"
