it's always ourselves we find in the sea

I found myself singing old band music today. Really random songs too; I went from singing "Vientos Y Tangos" to humming stuff from my sophomore year marching show. Now I'm listening to all the concert band music that I have on my computer. I really wish we could play some of that repertoire here, but we don't have enough people to make it sound good. Eh, I still really enjoy band here. I've just been in a very nostalgic mood lately.

So I kind of like a boy...
and I really need to learn how to flirt...

At 3 am this morning I decided that I was going to pursue voice as my primary instrument instead of clarinet. It really was my first love, and while I do love playing my clarinet, singing is just so much more a part of me. Now my mom can live even more vicariously through me since she wanted to be a voice major.

Today has been good.

Laura and I decided that part of the Gillingham where Rachel has a solo is extremely Shire-esque and that she represents Frodo and that our little accompaniment part makes us Samwise, Pippin, and Merry. Yes, we're dorks.

Saw Mel and a bunch of other McLean people, but I was mostly excited about seeing Mel. Cause she's just awesome and I haven't seen her enough these past few years. Saw my first 7th Grade Sketch show, which was really funny and I'm glad I finally went.

Went to the Bollywood event at the UC with Brynn afterwards (read: we wanted free Nawab) and stayed for the movie that actually ended up being pretty fantastic. Taare Zameen Par isn't the stereotypical Bollywood film so it lacks the awesome dance numbers, but it was really sweet and the songs were rather good. The lines at some points were a little ridiculous, but it's Bollywood.

I really have missed the ladies of rugby.

classssses

macavity007 — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:54:42 GMT

Classes have started. I'm feeling pretty good about this semester, but we'll see if that lasts after Abstract Algebra tomorrow and once rehearsals for wind symphony and women's chorus start and rugby practice begins. Shit, I'm going to be busy this semester.

Right after writing my previous post I got hit by the trout bot. It's similar to the salmon bot (http://kami-llama.livejournal.com/45999.html), but with trout. The weird thing is the person hadn't updated since a year ago.

So I'm sitting in my room (which is fabulous btw, I mean, Megan and I lucked out) listening to my music, and I start hearing the faint sounds of bagpipes during the softer tracks. I think I'm going crazy until Megan texts me that there's some guy playing bagpipes outside our dorm. At the last band concert someone had told me Tracy was going to W&M, so I ask Megan if the guy had red hair. The answer is yes and sure enough, I walk outside and there's Tracy, playing his bagpipes. I feel like I'm living back at Warner Ave where I could hear the pipers practicing from my house.

K announced he was leaving McLean now and not at the end of the year. He said the stress was too much after the second stroke. I'm sad I won't be able to see his last event with the band (first home football game) since I'll already be back at school. I'm still trying to wrap my head around him not being at McLean.

Going to see the US vs. New Zealand womens soccer match tonight. I'm so excited!! Hopefully the weather gods will take pity on us and hold off the rain until after the game.

macavity007 — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:06:12 GMT

Sooo excited for tonight. We get off work early for a farewell bbq for John and then we're hosting an opening olympic ceremony party complete with my dad's utterly delicious ribs...mmmm...I'm getting hungry just thinking about them.

I CAN ACCESS LIVEJOURNAL AT WORK!!! It took me four weeks to realize this... I'll update more tomorrow.

macavity007 — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:57:55 GMT

My flight for China leaves in 4 hours. I just said goodbye to Iago. Hopefully he'll be back in the spring, but for now I have no idea when I'll see him again.

I may not be able to access lj while in China. So if you hear from me even less than usual, that's why.

the problem with naps is they make regular sleep schedules all wonky

Dresden Dolls make Erica happy :)

This morning at the gym I found myself watching Strawberry Shortcake while listening to death metal.

It amused me immensely.

macavity007 — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:11:21 GMT

Last night was a blast. Went to FUR to see DJ Sammy (who is adorable and awesome) with Iago, Aaron, Sam and Ayla, and Brad. It would have been better had I been a little buzzed as then my self consciousness wouldn't have been quite so crippling on the dance floor. For the most part I managed to evade getting groped by any sketchy guys. There was one ubersketchy older guy who tried to grab my ass and one guy i danced with tried to put his hand down my shirt at which point i rushed back to join Iago. I danced with one guy who told me I was beautiful which has boosted my self esteem a bit. I spent most of my time being ridiculous with Iago. I don't want him to go back to the Philippines.

Didn't get home till 4 am. I love not having a curfew.

The thing I miss the most at W&M are my guy friends. I have yet to find replacements for Aaron, Sam, Wafic, Iago, the AMC crowd, and Jeff. Tonight was wonderful. Played Brawl with the McLean boys then went to IHOP for midnight deliciousness. I'm just so incredibly comfortable around those boys.

Sooooo excited for DJ Sammy tomorrow night

cause I feel like it

Mario Kart Wii=love

macavity007 — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:55:56 GMT

Two down, two to go. Down with physucks FOREVER!! sadly I'm also officially done with worlds, which means no more Sharp. I love that man, he's so adorably awkward. and he teaches in a style that works so well with how my brain functions. :(

but some ~~good~~ GREAT news, I now own MARIO KART WII!!!!!!. sadly I can't play it as my roommate is napping. but hopefully she'll wake up soon...

macavity007 — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 05:21:22 GMT

Note to self: stop forming ridiculous crushes on boys that probably have no interest in you and whom you really don't know. Nothing ever comes of this.

macavity007 — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:54:55 GMT

PAPER IS FINISHED!!!! Wow, this has officially been my first all nighter. I find it kind of amusing that the only reason I had to pull one is so I could get crunk on eoyp and blowout. I definitely have my priorities straight...

I love papers where your research involves watching old live performances of Britney Spears and the ridiculous C-pop performance from the opening ceremony at the Harbin Ice Festival. I'm going to miss Prof. Sharp's classes.

It is 11:11 (make a wish) and I have yet to work on my math homework. Ugh...and i had plans to be productive tonight. At least I read for Worlds of Music, but now I have to figure out what to post. blah, maybe I'll ramble incoherently about stuff. I doubt he actually reads my posts anyway.

I shouldn't have installed snes9x on my comp...it's distracting
