Last Day
Last day of school here, and we have this cool thing called freebie friday. We get 7th period off to basically do whatever we want. As you can tell, I chose to write here ^^;

No homework in Math, thank gawds..
Anyways, I plan on just using the time to basically mess around, maybe look up a few things. When I get the chance, as soon as I get home, I'll most likely practice the piano, print out a few books and what not, and maybe look for some sheet music. -.-; I swear, I'm addicted to music. My absolute life.

Anyways, I should probably get going, five minutes until the bell, and I don't feel like getting yelled at for being on an''illegal'' site. XD See you when I can.

Where have I been?
Well...let's see, I've been gone for a very long time now, almost around 5 months. Where have I been? Busy, with so many out of school extra curric. than I can handle.

Even now, I have Band and Choir Solo and Ensemble competion coming up, along with the tests for the Vocally Gifted ID-ing. Guitar lessons have been extremely busy, because we're in the middle of recording one of the songs I've written and laying down the tracks, while in piano and voice lessons, I'm memorizing Yasashii Yoake ((That's right, from .Hack//SIGN, the ending theme)) to sing for the recital.
As well, I have talent show at the end of the school year that I'm preparing for, and Mrs. Ray, our gifted language arts teacher, has been packing it on kinda heavy. ^^;

Actually, I just got home from our choir concert, and its 8:30 pm over here. There really wasn't much difficulty with the songs, considering how boringly easy and dumb they are, but I was asked to turn the pages for the accompanyist while she played. I almost messed up a few times. ^^; For those of you who think I'm nutso for talking about how difficult page turning is, let me make this a little easier to understand XP. First off, the pieces go extremely fast, and you have to be able to read music and know what it sounds like on the piano in order to even follow the music. Easy for me ^^; Then, there was the whole 'piano bench being too small for two people.' During practices, I actually fell off the bench a few times during a piece from my knee giving out on me. Thankfully, they had a chair set up during the concert ((hallelujah)).

Our band concert didn't go by too long ago, and testing got done a few weeks ago. For the band concert, we sped up waaay too many times, while the grade above us played a piece called "Vulcan" and their percussion section sounded like Gods compared to ours. X_x

For our music appreciation class, I decided to be an absolute idiot and try and write out the piano accompanyment piece for a 'song' we had to write. ><; Let's see, I'm about halfway done with it in two weeks, and uh... I finally got it through my head to do the necessary part first, which was just the melody and THEN try and do the accompanyment. Of course now I only have two days to get the whole thing wrapped up..but.. *shrugs* Meh, I figure it out XD.

>>; Lots of music related things, I know. But eh... music ish meh life XP With the nine weeks being over on Thursday, I'm just trying to get all my work in from all the sick days I've taken out. I swear, everytime the flu or something is going around, my immune system shuts down, and I end up sick and out of school for a week, and still fighting the 'whatever disease' for another month.

And still being the nerd that I've always been, I've been reading lots of Fan fiction for various animes, as well as reading poetry, philosophy, and how to drawing books, taking a little bit from each style and incorporating it into my own. So far, I haven't found just one style I like.

Got the two .Hack//SIGN OST's a month or so ago. Love them both, and they've quickly become my favorite CD's. If you've never heard the music, or any of the pieces played before, I reccomend at least going somewhere to download it and see what it sounds like. Beautiful music :3

Well, That's all I have to say for now, and I'm just glad to have stopped by after so long XD See you all soon, hopefully!

P.S. We redid my room. Now, instead of it being light pink, its blue. I plan on doing a mural of a snow scene in the arctic. Now my entire room is done with everything wolf X3 I love it! <3

o.o;


Well, its been quite a while, over a month since I've posted here.. I've been sick for the past 3, going on 4 weeks with bronchitis, and the horrible lack of sleep. This is.. *counts* my 8th day out of school this symester, so hopefully this'll be the last time I miss this much school.


I've been once again sucked into another one of Masamune Shirou's creations, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. A definite head-turner for those who have never seen any of the G.I.S. series. It reminds me of the CSI, or the Law and Order shows on NBC, and CBS. I've also checked out a few songs from the soundtracks. Yoko Kanno has scored once again with creating deep, and provocative music and lyrics. Two of the songs I'd reccommend listening to at least one are "Living inside the Shell" and "Inner Universe." Great songs.

Another series reccomended to watch is Full Metal Alchemist. Its been around for a while, but the graphics and CGing looks fairly new (don't ask how I can tell this, I just can.. <<; ) It's pretty good, getting first into a storyline about the Philosopher's stone, and then two episodes later, telling the story of Edward and Alphonse Elric's pasts. It all ends up to leading to present again, and from there the storyline goes on. I haven't seen the full series yet, and I really don't feel like writing any episode guides, but I once again have checked out the OST's. Awsome music, and one of my favorites being "Unerasable Sin" and "Melissa." Both have an upbeat rythem, and are pretty good. I still like the G.I.S.: Stand alone Complex OST better. That's basically it for today.
P.S. I finally haveDirect TV up in my room, so I don't have to go downstairs to watch Adult Swim. It's a lot better.

Been busy


Sorry, I haven't been on, a lot's been...going on where I live.

Well, we have a brand new middle school now, and we moved in today! OMG, its so beautiful. Oo; I'm actually looking forward to going to school tomorrow. The hallways are carpetted, so there's not that much noise at all, and every room has a brand new TV. The Cafeteria is good enough for a 3 or 4 star restaruant, and the gym is huge! Everything looks brand new! And most of it is.

Guitar lessons are going great. Learning a full song in tableture, called "Castle's Call, Pilgrim's Flight" By Phil Kaegy. If you don't know who he is, look him up on a search engine, or better yet, find and buy one of his Cd's. The song is so much fun to play.

For piano, I'm working on the accoustic rewrite of "Dearest" from Inuyasha. Also very fun to play, and very pretty to listen to.

Currently just getting over a cold, and I'm going to be doing a CD Demo for my grandfather down in Florida. He's not getting any younger, and he's never heard me sing, or play any instrument before. I feel really guilty because of it. Also, my grandparents up here want me to make a Demo so they can listen to my voice all the time. -.- Trust me people, I'm not THAT good, they're just grandparents. Its how it goes. >>


Been getting interested in yet another anime series, called "Fullmetal Alchemist." for those of you who have heard of it and have already seen it, I just wanted to say ITS NOT FAIR T_T
And that's about it. XD


That's currently really all that's going on that I could care about. <<;

Busy
Sorry it's been a while. I've had lots of homework to do, plus trying to catch up on other things that I've missed lately, such as visiting other sites. I can't seem to post comments, sorry everyone. T_T

Well, this weekend was awsome. Friday, I was over at Kaydin's house before my guitar lesson, and we both got our parents chocolate for sweetest day. Anyways, Kaydin's younger sister, Rachelle, was over at the park with Kaydin's puppy, Sam. Eh, the puppy came home, no leash, and no Rachelle, so Kaydin's mom sent both of us to see what happened to Rachelle. We found her over at the park crying, because she thought the dog got ran over. They have a smart pup, it came right home. After that, I played one of the songs I've written on the guitar for Kaydin, and she was singing along with me, learning the words. So much fun!


Bad news, there was something wrong with my guitar and the amp. wouldn't pick up any sound. Good news, I got to play my teacher's guitar, which is an extremely expensive guitar...like, some thousand dollars. oO; After that, they kept it for the night and called me an hour after I got home from my lesson saying it was fixed -.-;


I got to stay home by myself most of the weekend. I stayed up until around 5:00 A.M. in the morning, watching tv and listening to music, plus on the computer. :P
So much fun, the only thing was, I spent most of the weekend cleaning my room. -.- Extreme mess, it took me 5 hours to clean it up. At least I can see the floor now.


Now, its sunday, and my great grandma just got through with surgery. She kept having seizures, and well, she almost died. Oo; She's staying with my grandma Roger's and yeah, she's doing much better.


Last Friday, Katy wasn't at school. I found out over the weekend she was at the hospital, they thought she had appendicitis. oO; She didn't though, which she's lucky. She wasn't there on monday, but she was there on Tuesday, so she's alright now. I'm glad, Andrew thought she might have gone off the deep end and committed suicide. She didn't though, and I'm sooo glad she didn't.


For sweetest day, Allison's boyfriend was going to give her a kiss. Anyways, a girl named Amy, who has no life outside of boys, didn't want Allison to kiss him because she though Allison would turn into a slut. Amy and I got into an argument in band, and I ended up yelling at her telling her to trust her friends more. -.- She still won't. Argh! >< I wish she would just stop butting into other people's lives. She acts like Allison's just a doll, and amy's the one controlling her. oO; It's horrible, and I just wish Allison would stop hanging out with her. Its her choice though, so I can't really say anything..><;


Anyways, that's what has been going on all week. Talk to you all soon!

Piano, School, and Homework, Oh My

Today, I forgot to set my alarm and so, I ended up being a little bit late for school. I didn't have any free-time in the morning, and I found out later that Kaydin and Krystin had hot chocolate and coffee. T_T That was so unfair.

Anyways, Mrs. Ray's Language Arts class, we had to trun in Chapter 5 questions for "Lord of the Flies" It wasn't really too bad, and next we have Chapters 6 and 7 in one. X.x;


Science was absolutely boresville, all we did was study for a microscope test. -_-; I'm not a 5th grade sucker who doesn't know anything about that kind of crap, yet she makes us go over it. Heheh, I read a book during half of the class, and when about 3/4 of the class was over she realized I was reading. XD That's kinda sad. oO;


Social Studies...it wasn't much fun...No one would shut up, so Mr. Knewel took a lucky few out and had them cop down their notes while the rest of us suffered. He said that he had told two others (I'm hoping I was one of them) tocome out, but they didn't come. (I couldn't hear over the noise, it was awful, louder than in the cafeteria.)
Luckily, we still got our notes copied off the others :P


Lunch, I sat with Katy B. and Andrew, and funny enough...they're going out again. oO; Meh, they've been best friends since kindergarten *shrugs* Kaydin got lunch detention again, so she couldn't come to the gym, and she couldn't eat with us.


Choir was a major drag,as usual. They have us singing Hannukah songs..It's OCTOBER, HELLO! -_-; Sometimes I wonder..


Gym I actually was able to run 8 laps without stopping, and with my asthma, I'm surprised.^^ Yay!
Then, in Mrs. Kandel's room we watched a movie, and ate cake. Heheheh, I love being able to get away with almost anything. :D


Got home, and stayed there for a while, then I went to my piano and voice lessons. Er, no voice lesson today, really. Anyways, I showed my Teacher, Lynn another song I've written, and then went into my practice books. Eh, I hadn't been in them for over a year, and funny enough, I was able to sightread the thing with no problems oO; She moved me up to a level 4 book, so it makes it a little bit more of a challenge. got home, and worked on the site layout, as you can tell, its different. Yeah, I like this a lot better. ^^ Tell me your thoughts.


The Site Theme has been updated, thank you to Scaryperson5 for introducing to me to a great band called "The Rasmus." One of their songs is currently playing in the background. I'll see you all soon, I hope. ^^
