Current mood:

complacent

Drum corps has taken over my life
Okay so I'm gonna try and not make this TOO long lol.

Lets see, so East Coast had their mini tour last week. It went really well I think. The first three days were all practice, practice, practice. Luckily the weather cooperated and it was pretty cloudy most of the time. On Saturday we set off for New Bedford for a parade. That was fine, then we went to Nashua NH for our second performance. It was an okay show, not personally for me, and something happened in the beginning with amazing grace and timing issues with the horns so that was a bit scary but oh well. Was walking back to the practice site to change after the show, and I saw angie from umass! That was exciting, talked to her on the 5 mile hike back lol. Ate and hurried back to the stadium to watch the other div 1 shows. On the way I saw some of Surf's guard spinning after their show and I found Marielle so I talked to her for a bit and then headed to the stadium to meet up with MArlena. On the way there I see a group of people in the parking lot waving to me... and I'm like who are those people? are they waving to me? Turns out it was marlena, lisa, sully, scheebly, and liana!! I was sooo excited when I saw liana because it took me an extra 5 minutes to figure out who she was. After me and Marlena went to watch the shows. I'm absolutely in love with Crown's guard. They are sooo good and I love the sabre work. After the show we went back to the busses and drove allllll the way to Bristol RI.

The next day we practiced at the middle school or whatever it was and I ended up like freaking out because I couldnt do some toss. We then went to the show. Marlena ended up splitting her lip with her sabre in warmups but otherwise the show was okay. Was excited to watch the Cadet's show, but didnt really get the full effect of it because we were on the side watching. There were fireworks at the end so that was fun lol. Drove back to the middle school and slept.

Monday was the 4th of July and we did a parade in Bristol RI and in Wakefield MA. The RI one was wicked fun because its a really big deal there so the people watching the parade are drunk and wicked funny. We were late getting to the Wakefield parade but we were just fit in at the end. Then we got the night off! some of us were thinking of going into boston to watch the fireworks but we didnt want to get stuck in traffic so me, marlena, meggy, erin and james just went back to erin and meggys and chilled and ate food and watched the ECJ tour video from last year which was highly amusing. At the end of the night we went back to the hall and bed.

Tuesday was our official last day of mini tour. Practiced and then went to Beverly. We were first on. The thing that sucked about the beginning was during the big toss in Amazing Grace, this huge gust of wind comes and the flags go flying... seriously now that I think about it, we must have looked halarious because we were all like running and diving for our flags. Show was okay for me. Could have been better. MY parents and sister came which was nice. Saw yaya! Tasha and amanda were with her too. Pat was there as well! Actually I saw a bunch of people there. Even saw Duka haha. Got to see the Cadet show close up... I like it... its really weird... and i love weird shows... I am still in love with Crown's show for sure. Got back to the hall around midnight and I drove to erin and meggys, and after eating some food and watching tv passed out.

Wednesday was supposed to be a beach day for us, but it ended up being really shitty out. Soooo I hung out with meggy and erin and later on jim stopped by and we all went out to eat. Then drove around for a bit and attempted to go to Copley Mall which didnt work out too well. Then I realize i dont have my phone. After seaching forever for it at the Renolds, I think it might have been in the bus at the hall, so me and jim drive all the way to the hall to find out its not there. So I'm pretty pissed already, so i just decide to go over my cousins for a bit in Stoughton. On the way home, I run into traffic that is backed up for like an hour and a half... so im like freaking out because im stuck in a car and i dont have my phone. Luckily when i get to my cousins i was able to calm down.

Thursday I'm hanging around the house and the phone rings. I look at the caller ID and I am wicked excited cuz its my phone. So I answer and im wicked happy and then i realize the guy who has my phone i can barely understand because his accent was so thick. He says that he is in jamaica plains and i can get my phone if i want. and im like WHAT? how the hell did my phone get all the way there. turns out he was at his friends apartment and that was across the street from the renolds. So im all confused when i hang up and im talking to meggy and she's like 'did he have an irish accent cuz hot irish guys live there!' which he did not and i was sad. few minutes later my phone calls again and this is DEFINATELY an irish guy calling. He was wicked nice and told my that when i went to the renolds again, i could call his apt and he'd bring the phone out to me. Sooo i had practice that night so when we get back I call him and he says that he will be out with the phone. So I go out to the apt with meggy so i wont get raped or anything and this HOT guy comes out. I seriuosly melted when he started talking too! Like at some points i was like um what did you say? cuz his irish accent was really strong but i didnt really care. He was like 'oh were you guys drunk and you lost it?' we were like no *giggle* but damn id get drunk with that kid! haha we were walking back ot the car after and meggy had to hold me back from running after him. So yes i have met my future husband! ;-)

alright so this entry is extremly long and i doubt anyone will read it but oh well. I'll update on this past weekend soon! laters!
