Pop It, Lock It... ;D

This morning's practice was amazing...so good. We got sectional time for like...what? Three hours? 2 1/2? SOMETHING like that. We got SO much done and it was SO good and then we put it all together with the pit and the drumline and it was just like...WOW. That feeling was there, that feeling that's been missing for the past few weeks. I absolutely loved it.

But then the afternoon practice stank...you could tell Mr. O. was not pleased, I wasn't happy either. Some people in the band just have no MOTIVATION, and others just don't a good attitude, yeah they're at practice, but they give off the impression like they don't want to be there, and then their sour mood brings everyone else down and next thing you know you have like 20 stinky rehearsals in a row...YEAH.

So frustrating...like today, we were doing 16 block and we were doing really bad at one of the tempos, so Mr. O. said it was the last time, we repped it, it STANK, and so he's like, "Who wants to do it again?" and you hear me, DK, and a few other people say "Yeah" and everyone else practically shout "No!" And then Mr. O. says, "You have the choice to improve and make yourselves better or to accept that last rep. What do you want to do?" and STILL some people said no. That irked me SO MUCH.

It was a relief when practice was done...the afternoon was horrible---I think the highlight of my afternoon was when I got grass in Shep's mouth. ;D

Then I went to DK's house!!!!!! Well, it wasn't that simple to get to his house...but I'll spare all the boring details about how DK FORGOT TO TELL ME WE WERE GOING UP A STEEP HILL. ;D

Sidenote: I can take faster showers than DK. SO HAH.

We went out to the trampoline and talked and then we had to move inside due to little children who actually wanted to jump on the trampoline but our legs were too tired. :P

We had some really good conversations...REALLY good. Lots of stuff about marching band, like what I was saying before, lacking the motivation and energy and just not having the internal drive to be...BEYAWESOM.

Then dinner...YUMMY. Buttered bread (ALWAYS AMAZINGUH), mashed potatoes with the skin (I thought I wouldn't like them...BUT MMM MMM MMM), pork (YUM), and applesauce (we thought of you Cara ;D).

Then we went back outside but nOOoooOOOOoooOOOO, DK was too COLD. ;D Silly boy was only in shorts and a sweatshirt but I had my sweatpants and my big comfy sweatshirt which I love incredibly much.

Sidenote: "I can't handle the heat!" ;D

Sidenote of a sidenote: I guess this is really just a post that DK will get...sorry, lots of inside jokes. :]

It was a good night. :D

And now I should head to bed...big day tomorrow: church (9-10), car wash (11-4), homework (5-infinite), Solomon's Porch (infinite-9).

Sidenote: I made DK listen to the two songs I bought, it was great! HAHA!!! I also made him listen to the Hoedown Throwdown...
