I relized that I haven't posted alot on what's happening in my life. Well, besides my blood sugar illness. Well...
I quit band. I hated it. I can't stand getting moved to bass drum... when I was at least the second best snare, even the first best depending on who you ask. I can't stand a band director who blames every mistake on us when it isn't us. I can't stand his assistant, our drum guy, demanding us push our limits when he hasn't allowed us the proper time to work together or even let us see the drill chart. I can't stand an egotistical section leader (only on the field patsy), an egotistical freshman snare player who can't play with the line, a lazy bass sub sec. leader who doesn't know where his section is supposed to go, one... no two incompetent tenor players, and a band that doesn't give us the recognition that we deserve. I hated it.
I'm really excited about my prose. Last year I made it further than anyone else in my school, even though the teacher thought my partners would make it better than I would. I quit band and got into a special class for prose/poetry. I'm the only one in it. Cheryl comes to it sometimes when she finishes her work and she's going to do poetry this year. I'm glad that she isn't doing prose because she would nail all of us to a wall, and I don't need anymore compatition right now. I think that I've got both of my pieces picked out. I'm doing my stronger piece from last year. It's humor. And to balance it I'm doing a selection from "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower" which is one of my favorite books ever, if not my absolute favorite. It's pretty dramatic, but not like the drama that tends to get thrown in the compatitions. Alot of girls will do pieces about being raped, about their mothers commiting suicide, about them committing suicide, ect... . The sad part is, is that these pieces usually win. I lost to a girl last year who did one of those pieces. She couldn't act anyof it at all. She was horrible. But she did one of those pieces, and she was from that school. But I'll win this year.
Theatre is getting off to a slow start. There really isn't much to say about it right now.
The band it jamming alot. We were going to record some today, but I can't find Leslie. Oh well.
I have to go to the library and make mix-tapes. But not at the same time.
