Ugh, I got sick. Yesterday was the KU Marching Competition in Lawrence. Did I get sick there? Probably. First of all, ITS FREEZING COLD. Yeah, the rain and wind didn't help much either. Then of course, our costumes... It was like being naked making snow angels. I was soaking wet and freezing. My eyelashes were frozen or something. The glitter froze and peeled off. Other schools color guard got to wear trench coats and ponchos... Luckily, finals got canceled and we planned to go straight back to South after our performance.... Yeah, I was crying during the performance. My lips were purple through the bright red lipstick, and my fingers and cheeks blue. Dunno about my feets, even though they hurt like hell. Yeah, and during song 2, when i'm at the 50, I was up to my ankles in freezing water. Not fun. And the swing flags...? impossible to move do to the strong wind. I was miserable. Backwards marching and jazz runs? Didn't happen. Couldn't go 3 steps without slipping. I managed to live and cry. Alex the drum major gave me a hug... But he's a big stiff, so I was like screw you. We came in 5 buses. One was gone when we got back to the buses after performance. We were pissed. It was the pacesetters and southettes bus. Our bus driver jumbled all our stuff and threw them on another bus, then left. So it was like 'walk the long trip to south, k?'. And the band people wouldn't make room on the buses for us. Mr. Adams finally made room for the pacesetters. No room for poor colorguard. Luckily, my mommy and debbie's mommy were there. So my mommy took me and christine straight to south then home, while we huddled and ate japanese food in the back seat covered in blankets. I was still soaked and fucking pissed. We got back to south, and met up with the rest of the team minus skylar, since she rode with band. waited, but the buses didn't come. then we found out that the drivers on the other buses were missing, so they were freezing and huddling in the buses. I laughed. Screw band, minus the few people i like. Then we left and I took a hot jacuzzi bath and went to bed. woke up, ate korean, talked to James for an hour and a half, then went back to sleep. My story of the month. I'm too sick to do anything else but update for my loyal readers, so.... i'll comment on your xanga's some other time, when i'm not freezing and coughing and throwing up. k? k... |
