hoodies and cold piccolos

Hi hi.

My fingers are cold as I type this. Yes, fellow curly fries and members of the curly fry army, colder weather has set in for the past little while. I kind of like the colder weather, since hoodies are like one of my favorite things ever. But with the cold come sadface things, like out of tune piccolos covered in frost and audition+try-out season.

Buuuuut try-outs and auditions are nearly over :]

Momo and I made it into the band we auditioned for!! Gah, exciting. And Virgil (who was in the group last year 'cause she's so swag) made third chair, which is practically second chair, since there are two co-first chairs. Yayyy!

Coming up this week are auditions for the second band, which Carrie's auditioning for. We send her the best of luck :) {She's gonna be brilliant, no worries there.}

Our lovely three hundred and something person marching band is continuing to improve at a very lovely pace, as is the JV soccer team. The flute squad slants look straight and wonderful, and more and more teammates are learning the wonderful benefits of ~~*passing*~~ the ball.

*sigh* my life has deteriorated to school (daytime), soccer (after school), and music (the weekends).

Hope you're all well. (And that xiy's mouth doesn't hurt too much! :( )

With all due respect,
House.

soccer soccer soccer and flute

Hey, guys.

Apparently, I'm supposed to take some time off from obsessing over Alan Rickman's excessive amounts of awesome [and how hot Matthew Lewis has gotten] to write this post. Idk how well this is going to go, then...

Japan won!  Yay for them! The game was mental, which I'm assuming those of you that knew the World Cup was going on already are aware of, since you had to have watched. Gahhhhahhahahhhhh.


Anyway, yeah. I've been keeping busy, mostly with soccer training/camp/practice (for the oh-so-soon pre-season!). I've been running my butt off between band rehearsals, sips of Gadorade, and quick showers, pretty much :P (Also, I've been doing a teeny bit of summer homework... not enough to, like, exert myself, but I've done a little. I took the final for this online health course thingy, so I'm officially done with listening to this lady from BYU lecture me on abstinence, hooray!!)


That's about it. Sorry about the short post... I kinda need to go to bed, you know, since soccer training doesn't go very well with being ~totally nocturnal >.<


With all due respect,
House.

Oh dear...

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?! Goodness. This blog seems dead.
It seems as if we have fallen back into the summer phase.You know, saying hello and then goodbye with a little story in the middle for posts. A comments-per-post decrease of an average of 60% per post. You know. Summer phase.
I'm not saying our posts have gotten horrible, but maybe we should do something to get some excitement up in hur. Theme week maybe? We haven't had a very successful theme week in a while. Hm...

ANYWAY.

In other news: 
  • Yesterday I attended the first school musical of my life in which champagne was served.
  • My mother's 30th* birthday is tomorrow. 
  • In gym today, I set a personal record when I threw a ball 12 meters. That's right. 12 meters. 36 feet. Bam. [This is, for normal people standards, very pathetic]
  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes out for you in 8 days.
  • Wait what?!?!
  • 8 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
  • Unfortunately, it isn't showing here until later. I don't knows when. There isn't even a movie theater for, like, 20 km.
  • Who wants to have a HPDH pt. 2 watching party with me when I return?!
  • I need to buy gifts for all of yous alls. 
  • I've finished 5 chapters of APUSH. 
  • And guess what? Chapter 6 is super short. WOOHOO!
  • I'm playing in a concert tonight!!! :D The band at the school isn't actually that great (even though the school I go to is music-based). It's just, we're playing really easy songs and there's no balance or dynamics and a lot of important instruments are missing (like all percussion except for maraccas and cymbals). But it's still fun.
  • That would be all for today's news.
I miss you all so much!! I hope you are all having nice summers!!!!!
There have already been secret messages. Goodness.
Love,
Momo

Back when we were young 'uns...

tWell, I suppose to many people we are still young 'uns...but this post is about when we were younger 'uns. What I am trying to say is that I think it's time for another theme week before NaNoWriMo starts. I was thinking about this when Virgil and Poofy were cuddling in the hallway before Greek class today and I don't know what you think. Here's the idea: We each put a picture of either 1.) our baby/little selves, 2.) a phenomenon of our youth (like Telletubbies, Pokemon, etc) 3.) An old picture of something funny or interesting. I don't know what you guys think of this, please write in the comments. I know some of you don't want to put pictures of yourselves up, but I think if they're baby pictures, it's okay. Just write what you think, okay? If anyone else has other ideas for other theme weeks, I really think we should have one. 

Second order of business: October is almost over (ZOMG!) and we still  haven't gone to Build-a-bear. I think it is imperative that we go sometime soon so we can cross something else off the bucket list.

I haven't really got anything else to say. Except for congratulations to House for getting the only piccolo spot in our band, Carrie for getting into Symphonic Band (I don't know her chair), and to myself for getting first clarinet! :O  I don't mean to brag, for real.

That's all.
Secret Message: You are beautiful. :) Write your thoughts in the comments.
Loove,
Momo

>:(

I'd rather not say anything right now.

Mostly because I don't want to get in trouble for using extremely colorful words.

kbai,
Momo
