one day its warm and the next its freeze-your-ass-off-cold

   Well, I was told to update this and it just so happens that I am extremly bored. So... I am going to update it. HA! Alright, well... NY trip was great I hope I go back there real soon, I loved it. Umm. . . last weekend my family and I went up to Bismarck, North Dakota, to watch my brother graduate from college. That was Friday and Saturday, we got back home Saturday night, and when we were driving up there i got to drive for a third of the way, i drove from Fergus Falls to Jamestown. I ended up getting really tired, and driving through Fargo was not fun at all. Uh, Sunday was my conformation and I ended up getting $255+ for it. So thank you all who came and/or gave me money. Monday night i had a doctor's appt. to find out what is wrong with me(I'll explain later), and after that I went and bought myself a gamecube(black) and a game(Zelda: The Wind Waker). That night I got home and realize that I need a memory card before i can play and save the game, so i couldn't really play it. Tuesday, I was able to, after using my daddy's girl ways, persuade my dad into taking me to St. Cloud so I could buy myself a memory card so I could play Zelda.(Thank God I did, because... well, I'll explain in a little bit.) Wednesday, I had a Fall Marching Band meeting after school. WOO!! Fall Marching Band's gonna start up soon, and we are doing Phantom of the Operah. Oh! So much fun! I got home from that and brought Alexis with me back home, and we hung out for a little while. Now I must explain myself:
   Okay, so for the last like two weeks i have been coughing something fierce, and all I thought was Hey, if this was just an ordinary coldish type cough it would have been done within a week. So, with some persuading and wineing I got my mom to make a doctors appt. for me on Monday. I had to have a lab test done, just a simple nose swab that felt like a nat went flying up my nose, and they said the results wouldn't be in till Friday, but they put me on Zipfromax anyways. It seems here that I was being tested and treated for Whooping Cough(Pertussis). Well results came in earlier then Friday they came in when I was hanging out with Alexis on Wednesday. I was diagnosed with... Whooping Cough(Pertussis). I then was put under house arrest-I was not able to leave the yard- I was also told that I could not go to school until Monday. My mom was also diagnosed with Whooping Cough(Pertussis), my whole family got put on medication for it. We had to call everyone that we had been in direct contact with from the past week and let them know about it.
   Thursday, I slept in, and played Zelda all day. Friday, I slept in, and played Zelda for half the day, tanned in the afternoon out on my deck, then played Zelda some more, and then stayed up all night talking with Tim online till one in the morning. Today, I slept in till around 11, ate some mac 'n cheese Kraft Spirals around noon, then laid in bed for about 45 minutes, and came online because I was bored. Now I think I am going to go play some Zelda.
{How's that for an updatement Tim}

bored and updating

Okay, so i am very, extremly bored, so i decided i would update. lets see here, easter is this weekend and i have no school till wednesday. Tonight i went out with Kirky to see the Ring 2, and scared the shit out of me. i guess it didnt help that she happened to have seen it too, and i scared her when my mom and i picked her up. she got back at me by scaring me even more during the movie, that bitch. oh well, lesson learned. Lets see here, ive got my final guard show coming up next saturday, 4/2, and i hope we do well, i mean we jumped ten points with one weekend off of shows and that was awesome. i only wish that that miracle could happen again. lets see, my last show for guard will also be the last time ill see Tim for a while, *tear*, and the rest of my Whitnall(? i hope i spelt that right) buddies. Tim's also in Florida too, for a week, and i dont get to talk to him, but im also jealous cuz i wanna go see the lizards again. and no i do not mean the aligators, there are actually lizards in Florida and a hell of a lot of them too. im really fricken bored out of my mind, my brain will start to eat itself to have something to do. i was thinking about dying my hair, highlights i mean, of either red, orange, or this really clue grey/blue. im really leaning towards the orange, but i cant do it till seasons over cuz of rules, which suck. man i wish i could drive on my own. it seems everyone is going to a concert now too, and you know what ive never been to a single concert ever! i wanna go soooo bad. i especially want to go to the warped tour, and i brought it up to my mom and she was like, yeah go to a concert and all your going to be seeing is flashes of boobs other parts and naked bodies, i dont think so. urg!!! i wanna go, for the music, cuz i mean hello!!!! music fucking rocks my world. oh and so there was a shooting up in red lake and all, but you know what attention went to us for a little bit again. f'in a!!! stupid press, they should alll be fired and then someone can fire the person that fired them, cuz they dont deserve a job. at least not one reporting. but no red lake people get it easy cuz its on a reservation so they can be like, get off my land, and press has to listen, but no we can say get off our land and they just go to the street or across the street from school. those idiots. well thats all ive got, im so fucking bored. urg!! i kinda dont want to go to bed tho, cuz im still freak to eternity by the movie damn kirky. well im gonna go see if i can find something to do. latta

Updatement

So. . . . ive decided that im gonna update because im really bored. lol Well, lets see today i had two guard shows, our first show today(Coon Rapids) pretty much sucked, but for some reason we got second to last(58.1 points), so yeah i dont know what we actually got third maybe. Then we went shopping around at Prairie Center or something, yeah i bought headphones, their kinda crappy but they were cheap and i needed headphones, so. . . . then me and Kirkz(Kirky) were just kinda walking all over the place. I had to suffer and walk through old navy *shiver*, me and Kirkz did that so she could try and scare people, but frankly it was just scaring me. lol, then we hung out in Barnes and Noble for some time, and i got one of those $1 for 3mins massage in a chair thing, oh it felt sooo nice. Then at Eden Prairie we got to watch 7 shows, that went to intermission, we were all gittery and hiper and shtuff. We had a really good performance(58.__ points with a .1 point penalty because i guess the judge said that we were missing a second of equitment work. Thats bogus!!! We had two people missing too, and one of our performers has walking nemonia(i know thats not how you spell it but thats how its sounded out), we got jipped. So on the way back from Eden Prairie we got to stop at McDonalds and walk through the drive through and get McFlurrys, cuz me and some others girls were craving ice cream. YUMMY!!! okay, so then tomorrow, well today i guess, i have to get up for the band breakfast that i didnt get signed up for, stupid people, and then go and perform at the yam jam for guard, and after im done with that Kirkz and I are coming back to my house and were going to watch Donny Darko because sadly enough i still havent seen it and i hate watching movies by myself. Ive got so many things i got to do to catch up on in life. Gosh!!! right now im watching South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut. hehe, and im watching Foamy the Squirrel, well actually was because now im going to be going to bed. So. . . . thats all folks.
*The Amytiville toaster, make breakfast spooky, spooky talk from toaster, spooky eat me toast, yum yum yum, human hand.* hehehe, my fav.

Lots of Stuff

If you all want to know what all happened this past weekend your just going to have to wait a couple more entries or so. . . . Im just going to do other stuff in this entrie. First thing is i have a poem that i copied from a short story we read in English. It is called There will come soft rains in the story it says its by Sara Teasdale (im not sure if thats correct in real life, but i know its a poem):
"There will come soft rains
and the smell of the ground
And swallows circling with their
shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing
at night,
And wild plum trees in
tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery-
fire,
Whistling their whims on a low
fence-wire;

And not one will know of the
war, not one
Will care at last when its done.

Not one would mind,
neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;

And Sprin herself, when she
woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that
we were gone."

And now i have a quote by Albert Einstien:
I know not with what weapons
WWII will be fought, but WWIII
will be fought with sticks adn
stones.

And now i have a song by The Postal Service (I LOVE THEM!!!!) i couldnt get the lyrics of the song i really wanted but these songs are good also:
Clark Gable-
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the london underground
When it struck me that I've been waiting since birth to find
A love that would look and sound like a movie so I changed
My plans and rented a camera and a van and then I called you
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in
The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it
The marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on the set"
And then called "action!"
And I kissed you in a style that clark gable would have admired
(I thought it classic)

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd
I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?

Brand New Coloney-
I'll be the grapes fermented,
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
Like a perfect gentlemen
I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

I'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
Albums back as your lying there drifting off to sleep...
I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you...
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes
I'll be your winter coat buttoned and zippedstraight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch a cold

I want to take you far from the cynics int his town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change,
We'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)
The sun will heat the grounds
Under our bare feet in this brand new colony
Everything will change, oOo oOo...

Natural Anthem-
I'll write you a song and it won't be hard to sing
It will be a natural anthem, familiar it will seem
It will rally all the workers on strike for better pay
And its chorus will resound and boost morale throughout the day

I'll write you a song and i hope that you won't mind
Because all the names and places i have taken from real life
So please don't be upset at this portrait that i paint
It may be a little biased, but at least i spelt your name right...

Well there i think im good now. Well, im gonna go now, and ill write about the past events from this weekend soon.

Full Weekend!!!!!!

So, i have a full weekend planned, and its all guard related. It all starts tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock when i will wake up and get ready for a show day, possibly even two shows if we, i mean when, we make it onto finals (*crosses fingers* hopefully). We have WGI regionals at Irondale High School, and we will be staying there wether we make it on or not, so ill be able to watch winter drumline shows, and the guard finals, unless i have to perform. We will then, after all the shows, be staying over night at Irondale. *"PARTY"* Then on Sunday, who knows when we will be getting up, we will be heading on over to Sibley for their winterguard homeshow. When that has finished we then are going to back up and head for home, and probally go to sleep. Not only do i have a chance to perform three times this weekend, but my friends from Whitnall are coming to perform too, so i get to watch them perform, and hang out with them. Its a shame Keisha can't go tho, cuz that would be soo much more fun. Theres always finals tho. Considering i have an early morning tomorrow, and a jam packed filled weekend, i shall be leaving now, and heading for the comfortable comfort of my bed. Fare thee well.

It snowed. . . .

It snowed, and is still sorta snowing. Snow brings silence. Silence reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel. . .

Simon and Garfunkel-Sound of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while i was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams i walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light i saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"fools" said i,"you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that i might teach you,
Take my arms that i might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

Thats the song of the day. :-D
I dont have school tomorrow, hope everyone that does have school has a blast. hehehe
Luv ya,
~Erica
