it's a tradition for the band to go to Hometown Buffet post-comp once a year. here's why they hate us.
1. we eat too much.
2. we are loud and obnoxious and messy.
3. there are too many of us.
4. the majority of us pays in cash.
5. another one of our traditions involves clapping and cheering as soon as Smish takes his first bite. can you picture that? you have this 110-person MOB bumrushing their way into a restuarant, and once they have their food and have settled themselves into their seats, they then suddenly burst into hella loud applause for no apparent reason. dude, if i was one of the regular customers, i'd be pissed. and confused. "WHY ARE THEY CLAPPING?"
6. two words: JEYCY DIAZ.
it all started when i 'accidentally' spilled my drink on Munir.
then all hell broke loose.
by 'all hell,' i mean 'Jeycy started laughing and WOULDN'T FUCKING SHUT UP for the next half hour.' omfg. it was ridiculous. there were a few instances where she would almost calm down, but then FREAKING RHEA had to hit her head on the table like some kinda clumsy little goober, which made Jeycy laugh even harder. and louder.
people started to stare. TC, in an attempt to make Jeycy shut up, pointed to a guy in a Norman Rockwell painting on the wall and said, "Jeycy, look at this guy! Look how sad he is! Doesn't this make you sad?" Jeycy said, "HE LOOKS HIGH!" and resumed laughing.
Emma was up next. she was going to perform a magic trick to scare Jeycy into silence. hiding a little half and half container in her fist, she covered her eye and pretended to stab it with a fork. as her fork punctured the little half and half packet thing, the white liquid would spill out, looking like (as Smith put it) "eye pus." unfortunately, it was hilarious. so it didn't work. TC took a video of it; maybe he'll put it on youtube one day.
and to top it all off, the damn light above our table was making everybody hella hot. everybody was hella red and flushed, especially Munir, who resembled a doll with his little red cheeks. HAHA. yeah, uh, i don't really remember what made Jeycy stop laughing, but she did. thank God. and then we went home. yay.
the quote of the day was from Emma the Magician. "Hey, Mr. Smith, my eye itches. Can I have a fork?"

Dixon. part 1 of 2: an Epic Win and an Epic Fail.
hello all. well, yesterday the band had our first spring comp, and we like totally kicked ass (except for sightreading). here is a recap, including an explantion of this blog's title.
we arrived at Dixon HS at about 11:30. the school was freaking DESERTED. nobody there. Smish told us to be dressed and warming up in twenty minutes, so we did that.
performed at 1:00. it was beautiful. really nice blend and balance, flutes were in tune (!), hooray for Ashlyn and Deidre's solos. we went out of the theater feeling oh so good about ourselves. concert = EPIC WIN.
then we went off to do the sightreading part of the competition. i thought the sightreading judge dude was a jerk. he made fun of Smish, so i was like, "Hey, Mr. Smith, you should fight him!"
well, we did hella bad on sightreading. there was this whole section thatthe flutes EVERYBODY got lost on. we didn't even manage to hit the last note! props to Smish for trying to keep us together, though. he's a trooper. if i was him, i would have burst into tears by the second page. seriously.
sightreading = EPIC FAIL.
last but not least was jazz. Jeycy and i were watching them this time, but maybe we'll be playing with them next year. beautiful, but i thought the Day by Day sax soli was a little dirty. next time guys, next time. solos were really nice. go Caesare and Ben and Jesson and Rizza! jazz = another epic win. except for that soli. haha.
see what happened following the concert on part 2! whoohoo!

today i drove a car.
had my first Driver's Training today; 2nd and 3rd sessions are tomorrow and Thursday. tomorrow's gonna be hella busy 'cause it's sectionals after school, then Driver's Training all over the place, then back to school for jazz band @ the Open House. nyaahhh.
stuff of note:
-Hill: i freaking forgot all about the fact that i was presenting minutes today, until right after the bell rang. HAHA. i was writting it down in such a hurry that i put the wrong date on them. whooops.
well, we finally started watching Animal Farm. Mariko was appalled at how ugly Old Major was. lol. i love the animals' British accents, especially Boxer and Pincher. those Cockneys. hahaha.
-played Jeopardy sorta in Garrison's class. DIDN'T KNOW HALF THE STUFF ON THERE. and i pronounced Goethe's name wrong. Garrison was pronouncing it like "GERT-THETH," or something, and i'm like, "Where the fuck did you get the 'R' and the 'T' from?"
-voted for certain people at lunch. yaaaahh.
-failed failed FAILED the Miller quiz due to some stupid mistakes. dammit. yeah, i don't wanna retake it because the last thing i need following a disastrous episode in math class is MORE MATH. i don't like math, have you noticed?
-Manansala seat change today. like Steven said, now we have a little 'network going on.' XD
-after school, i went and showed my concert clothes to Smish. he eyed my concert top suspiciously. then he was like, "Isn't that a little short to be wearing when you're in the front row?" like some kinda overprotective father. and then i showed him the concert pants and he was like, ^.^'
"Oh, just kidding. You're in."
and then...THEN I WENT DRIVING! i first practiced with my dad in Wayside's parking lot, then went off to Seafood City and American Canyon with Barbara the driving instructor. dude, it's hella fun. i was hella speeding in residential areas, though. hopefully i don't end up killing anyone, God forbid. okay, i gotta do homework now. bye.

hey guess what?
I GOT MY PERMIT TODAY! yeaaaah. hahaha. i missed six, and i don't really care 'cause it's better than having to take it all over again. i now understand why adults loathe the DMV so much. prime example of American bureaucracy right there. lolololol. edit: oh yeah, i saw Samantha M at the DMV, also getting her permit. "epic Samantha M win." hahaha.
anyways:
English: never really got around to correcting that Arthur test, 'cause Ms. Hill was too busy talking about Arielle's hella good competency, everyone else's sucky competencies, and the North Carolina Tarheels. RAH RAH RAH CAROLINA LINA! oh, and she also noted that Rachel is a "sickly little thing," and that we should "send her some fruits and vegetables." watch out for those in the mail, Rachel.
Band: i just got a #3 reed, so i'm like litterally suffocating during warm ups. =_=' it's waaaay stiffer than my old one, but i can get a good sound out of it provided that i use enough air. that shit's HELLA hard, though. and i know you're thinking "That's what she said," so SHUT UP. don't need none of yah innuendo on mah blog. thank you.
oh yeah, this is for Samantha M: R = -3. J = 5. 5 + (-3) = 2. i don't think they'll ever figure it out, lol.
Humanities: Garrison droned about how to take a test, while i did more important things, like my math homework.
Math: I noticed the 'party chart' on the board. 3rd period has WAY more freaking squares than we do. ha. we're never going to have a party.
Science: hey, did you know that Ms. Marte sells jewelry? HAHA. well, now you do.
Filipino: we watched the ultra-scary Feng Shui. or, as Manansala calls it, "FUNG SUI." he said it means "arrangement." well, YOU'RE WRONG, sucka. it's about this lady named Kris Aquino who finds a magic mirror thing on the bus that brings her good luck....or not? dun dun dun. we didn't get to watch much because Manansala was too busy asking people where they went on vacation.
yeah. oh, and yesterday's detention @ Werris was the BEST THING EVER. hahahaha. freaking Steven and Axl and JP are HILARIOUS. some exerpts:
"That's not even sock. That's like, an extra layer of skin."
"I hate pomeranians!"
Ms. Werris: "Axl, you pimp out your puppies! You're a puppy pimp!"
JP: "Yeah, and if they come home without making any money, he slaps them! He like puts them in a cage and forces them to mate!"
Steven laughs.
Axl: "Shut up, Steven, you're the one who put your dog in the trash can!"
Axl: "Ms. Werris, are you a Jew?"
Ms. Werris: "Well, there have been Jews in my family."
Axl: "Wait, so you're like Jewish AND Catholic? What is that, Jatholic?"
Ms Werris: "No, my grandparents were Jews, but they converted--
Axl: "Ms. Werris, are you a Protestant or a Communist?"
and, my favorite:
"Ms. Werris, what kind of music do you listen to? I bet you listen to BEETHOVEN. or THE SPICE GIRLS. or...WINSTON CHURCHILL."
who knew detention could be such fun?
