the WICKED music our mb show is performing!
yeah! yeah yeah yeah! OH YEAH! hoorahh! my jie is totally back in action! at least i get her emails now! (:
and well, i was replying one of them and then realized i wanted to tell her a lot of things and type of a lot of stuff as i do in my blog and i wanted to blog at the same time. and since she's unable to load blogs right now and only check mail, i decided that i would blog in replying her.. killing two birds with one stone, you could say.
so here's my reply/blog post:
YAYE! i feel so happy now! i feel more connected because you'll be checking your mail daily right? :D
so the things i've been up to recentely are pretty much marching band related and deal with ALOT of soreness.
first though, I HAD MY WISDOM TEETH TAKEN OUT! ALL FOUR OF THEM... it was a friday (24th aug).
and when they put me on anesthesia, or however its spelled, i just suddenly fell asleep. like maybe 2 minutes before i fell asleep, the docs told me to just breathe in the gas and breathe out the nose. and so i did. and then before i knew it, they were waking me up! like i didnt even remember that i fell asleep! and it felt like i dozed off for only a minute or something. really wierd. and when you wake up, you're so, how to say.. well, when you talk, its like theres no filter between your brain and your mouth and you just spill out all your thoughts.. or well most of them.
so that friday i had yet to feel the pain and decided that it would be okay for me to go to marching band that was 5 hours later.. as long as i got some sleep before, which i did. and well, i could march the choreography, but not play my sax because everytime i tried to make a sound, my gum spilled blood! and got me so scared that i would bleed to death or something.. so after about 2 times i stopped trying.
uhh.. you know what i'm realizing? I'M BLOGGING TO YOU. ah.. sorry. i guess right now i should warn you huh? so anyway, LONG EMAIL AHEAD OF YOU.
btw, i havent blogged since last friday morning (24th aug). yes, that morning before i went for oral surgery. and all i've been blogging about recentely are about how much i miss you and how depressed i feel when you're mia. and then you were bia(back in action) and i was like YAYE!!
and i guess i'll just copy and paste this long reply on my blog as my blog post since right now i'm "blogging" to you. and putting a lot of redundant phrases. heh.
so friday night... little did i know what great pain the weekend had in store for me.. saturday.. GREAT PAIN. very grouchy. on the verge of a mental breakdown. sigh. oh and i woke up to swollen face! and wondering, how on earth am i going to play my saxophone on monday. and i was very upset because i hated the feeling of being left out on friday. i mean, yeah, i could just concentrate on my marching. but how am i supposed to stay happy when everyone's playing music and i have something to make music with BUT JUST CANT. oh the agony. and that thought just depressed me.. and then i had a fever..
sunday though, i woke up feeling less upset because i felt better. and my fever.. went down. (:
and then monday.. went to marching band camp and it was so hot. oh and i was able to play! oh yes! so now, every once in a while my mouth will have a sharp pain. and it'll go away and then come back. thank goodness my painkillers do kill the pain.
now i shall type about marching band. so my mom's.. i dont know.. upset about me being in marching band and that its too much energy and time consumption. which.. i'm dealing with it. but i dont know, i just love marching band.. but it is indeed VERY TOUGH and vigorous. man, its so true when my friends told me that marching band should be considered a sport and not a just an art for the cca's. at the end of the performance, you feel the same way you would feel after a tough game of football/soccer/tennis/lacrosse or after an extremely long run.
but somehow i still love it. i dont know why.. it just makes me happy to perform and be part of a winning team. because last competition we got GOLD! and hopefully we get gold again! lol.. i'm acting as if its all about winnning.
so yesterday's practice (tuesday) was VERY VERY TIRING. i think everyday we are marching and doing choreography for 3 hours. so glad that yesterday was the last day of band camp and well the next practice is next tuesday and its like once a week and we have shows on saturdays.
originally i was going to complain to you about how agonizing yesterday's practice was because i was really pushing myself. but then i've decided nah.. i should tell you more joyous news.. like the bbq they had after since it was the last day! i had this cheese burger with mustard and sweet relish and onions. and watermelon and potato salad and some macaroni. and then a bag of bbq lay's chips!
i think the best time i enjoy marching band is at night. when the sun is down and everything is cooling except being eaten alive by bugs.. thank goodness for bug spray! :D
OH YEAH!.. i forgot to tell you.. our show is based on the musical WICKED! GO DOWNLOAD THE SOUNDTRACK.. or at least the song defying gravity. if you really cant download then i'll try to send you.. i'm just too tired right now to rip the cd my friend burned for me..
i'm really sleepy now. but i plan to stay up a little while longer.. to play this game called tropico.. even though i should be working on that big load of summer work that is going to be due in 6 days, which is when school reopens. ahh!
i'm excited for school reopening, because i want to see everyone. although i wish i had maybe one more week.. just to finish my summer work load. but oh well.. blame my poor time management i guess..
well seeya! god bless you! got any prayers you want me to pray for? oh and tell me everything about your life like i've told you mine (except for that marching band complaint i had planned to complain like a complain queen about)
