HERE'S TO:

-ping pong games with you mom

-and dying after laughing so hard after a ball went flying in the wrong direction

-awesome band people that live for music

-awesome choir people that live for music

-SPECTACULAR orchestra people that breathe music

-IMEA being at our school

-and reminding myself that I could do that someday for the rest of my life

-spending so much time with my best friends in the world

-reading over past things and realizing that no matter how old you get, you still understand

-and then realizing that you feel the same way about it

-music in general

-friends in general

-life in general

Wishing time went slower and that you had courage to speak,

I'm proud of myself. I've got a crush. huzzah, someone to think about when I'm bored! ...

anyways. I hurts like crap, inside and out, and my mind's going in a frilly. I hate those. y'know, getting in one of those moods where I'm all like EMO but not. and then I fantasize about this and that and it hurts to think and then my mother comes and starts yelling at me and saying that I three-wayed the number 4998839 too many times and how I don't practice enough and this and that and then my dad is like "I'll let you go on for a while until we leave" and then when my internet connects he walks in and says "we're leaving!" and then I've got cramps and the IMEA concert is tomorrow and I'm still kinda upset that I didn't make it...

argh, and there goes my timer. :(

just as a quickie, I've found that I can comfortably sing about 2 and a half octaves. (D below middle C to A above one octave C.) is that good? I don't know what a good range is. I'll have to look it up.

Yeah. just stopping by.

MUSIC IS LIKE CANDY: YOU THROW AWAY THE (W)RAPPERS

So as I was looking through past poems and such, I found one that I wrote about 6 months ago. Not only did I blow myself away, but I realized that this poem was written then so it could help me now. It was the strangest thing. Fortunatley for me (and sadly for you?), I will not share it, as it assesses some rather personal things. Anne, I believe you may have read it before.

On a lighter note, I shall be attempting to teach Zack theory (as he has no time in his schedule for it). That will be interesting enough, once I figure out when we're going to do it. I'm going to hope for Tuesday or Wednesday. :)

Oh, on a much more important thing, I get to go to the temple! yeehaw! Nov. 29. yup! I haven't been there since April...I remember that day because I had to skip a play practice for it... heh. that was exciting. and speaking of plays, I think I'm going to see if I can convince my parents to let me try out for the musical this year. That'd be fun, huh! If my parents would agree to me being gone for a few days each week... hmm.

fwah, nothing else to update on. oh, the dance was fun last night! this one guy danced with me at least a half a dozen times....oh, and Mike, I've shortened the contestant list to... two. :)

and randomly, taelore's coming to orchestra with me tomorrow! yay! we need clarinets like crazy mad style. :/

anyways, toodles!

~Rayla

sheesh, and I thought this was going to be an interesting story...

fwah, so after school (after music theory, of course, with a teacher-less class, lol) I go outside. realitivly early after school lets out (5 minutes after oO) and I see a big column of black smoke down harvey (towards aurora). so, being courious and spontaneous, I decide to go see. so I turn out of the school on harvey and follow it until it turns into hill. Then I follow that for a while until hill turns into galena. then I follow galena until it ends (well, not end, but I can't go the opposite way on a one-way road) and I turn towards the direction of this smoke.

now, by this time, I was the middle of aurora by now, and for those of you who don't know, aurora can be pretty scary.

so I turn on ohio, follow that until it ends, and then see this HUGE fire. I'm like, OMG! but then I see a sign that says, "Aurora Fire Training." so then I'm all disapointed that this smoke column you can see from oswego was just a training session, and I hardly know where the heck I am! so I EVENTUALLY turn around and come back home.

sheesh. and I thought I was going to have something of interest to talk about.

so I'm at school, and barsh ain't here, so we were sitting in the hallway hanging out. then josh has to go and get leeb so he's watching us do nothing. I would rather sit out in the hall doing nothing then have a teacher sit and watch us do nothing. would you? no se.

fwah, so the next chance I get, I'm going to get a fictionpress username and post mis novelas. oh yeah. that's nothing to shake a stick at. (wha?... I guess that means I'm OLD to use that saying.)

jello jiggles like a fat mans belly

that was becky. she stole the keyboard.

nuh uh ...i just took it

same idea. anyways. she's making me listen to some japanese/tokyo techno or something crazy like that....and it's making me upset almost.... same thing over and over and over and over...

fwah. anywha! I've been so hyper happy this last week, it's been so great. it's like, I can't get mad! in a good way, I think. liek, I'll still get annoyed and crap, but not like, mad. me gusta. maybe the play gave me a sense of self accomplishment or soemthing. GAH!!! becky makes me listen to fray......they make me happy...... :) :) :) :)

I oughta go...

she made a becky noise that sounded like this......ahem......fwah! in a really high voice.

yes, thank you becky...again. ew, I just remembered, swimming started in gym, and it sucked. more on that later, barch just walked in. LATER!

Atra nosu waíse fricai.

props to whoever can guess what my header says/where it's from! actually, maybe I'll make food for you. :) everybody likes chocolate, right?

so yes. I got the "hall of the mountian king" techno song from Mike. finally. lol, it's the greatest song in the world! one of these days, I'll figure out what song I'm doing for share your music...and this song is definitly up there. within the top ten. oh yeha!

fwah. so I'll be alone tonight (not again, not again, lol), with the MB party going on. I can't go, though I really wish I could. maybe my parents will let me go for an hour or so. I already ate, so they won't have to worry about food. wot. no se. or maybe I'll just stay here and EDIT my freaking STORY which MIKE wants me to PUBLISH on FANFICTION.COM, which is HARD because the STYLE I wrote it in THEN is so much DIFFERENT from when I would write something NOW..... so I want to scrap it cuz it SUCKS but I have sequels, so I can't. (don't know where that random whole uppercase words came from. I got bored, lets say, eh?) gr, so I basically have to re-write the whole thing, but keep the same plot line. shouldn't be too hard, huh? fwah, hard for me when I've kept this "originality" for three years.... years! that's a long time, is it not? gah! right.

so yeah, I just realized that technically I went on a date friday night. after my play. spiffy. I went to wendy's, we got food, hung out until other highschoolers invaded the place, then went to his house. it was funny, he was like, "you know, we're breaking the rules." (cuz he's mormon too.) I go, "How?" "Just you and me, here, by ourseleves." I told him that it wasn't because it was spontaneous, but now that I think about it, he was probably right. which leads me to my question for you:

was it a date?

I don't think it was, but heck, what do I know? Ok, so is it obvious I like him? Maybe a little? NO NAMES WILL BE REVEALED! for chance you might meet him. :) whoops! that was about to be a huge hint, was it not? gah, I'm not very good at this, are I? oO

WOOT!

so, sadly (or happily?), my play is over. if you didn't see it, SHAME ON YOU! It was good. The playright's mother showed up. appreantly, if the playright wasn't in NY, he would've come to see it! how crazy is that?! beforehand though, I was all freaking out and crap, and brendan kept poking fun at me. silly man.

so yeah, more randomness to follow tomorrow, I've got to go to bed. I shouldn't even be on. And my parents are getting cranky... -gasp!- I'm outa here. nightynight! sweet dreams! if you remember them, let me know, wot! supposedly I'm good at interpreting...?
