So, they cancelled the battle of the bands. I'm pretty pissed off. I mean, we spent a ridiculous amount of time practicing. I guess they just didn't sell enough tickets. But that was only because there's some drama thing at the same time. Stupid organizers not being organized. Fucking... poor planning.
Anyway, I guess as a result of this we're going to try to either get our own concert at old town hall or open for someone who's good enough to have their own concert. I asked Eric how one goes about getting one's own concert since he works for the organization that runs them. He gave me a phone number, but only after he talked about how much we suck and don't deserve our own concert. I don't know why I was insulted. He's never even heard us. And he's also just an insulting person. But I was insulted. We don't suck! Do we?
It hasn't been a good past couple of days, now that I think about it. Today I basically did nothing, since I had a sub in math and 20th century and I forgot my gym clothes. Like, honestly - I could have skipped school and it wouldn't have made much of a difference. I hate my Latin teacher more every day. Mr. Thomas forgot about my lesson yesterday and just never showed up. And Steph and I got caught hanging out in the band room during gym, so now we can't do it anymore. I'm extremely glad it's Friday, even though I have to go out in the rain tomorrow and sort through cans and bottles as a band fundraiser. And Adam's going to be there.
Oh man. Morning busrides lately have been making me wish that Adam would get off his ass and get a liscence. My patience with him is wearing very thin. It's getting to the point where I don't even know what I saw in him, which I guess is a good thing. He's just artificial and full of himself.
"Man, why can't more people be like Julian?" said Dave today at lunch after we'd been talking about him. This statement made Molly and I say "yeah!" rather emphatically. It would be awesome if more people were like Julian. It has occoured to me that Julian is as far away from having Adam's flaws as it is possible to get. He is not at all artificial or full of himself. He is exactly who he is, no matter what that looks like to other people. He almost never even TALKS about himself, and I've certainly never heard him brag. He's just REAL and DIFFERENT and accutely observant - mostly he just stands there and takes everything in, but then once in a while he'll talk and say something really true and hillarious. He's like the character in a book who doesn't really take part in the plot, but stands back and smiles and is the voice of reason amongst all the other characters who are carrying on with their lives without looking where they're going.
If any crush on him exists, it is still very minor, and I don't know whether it stands a chance of developing, especially now that I feel somewhat secure about Adam and probably don't subconciously need a replacement. But I almost hope it does, just because it would be cool to like someone who I really LIKE, you know? Someone who really has value as a human being, rather than just being nice looking and into me.
I'm editing the movie we made for Latin. The canoe scenes are HILLARIOUS. Not only do you get to see our failed attempt at canoeing, but Paul and Dominic are arguing behind the camera for the entire time.
[view of Kevin fishing]
Dominic: This is so stupid. Career fisherman don't stand on the shore and fish.
Paul: It's fine. It's... sardonic. [view of Paul's hand] Oh crap, I think I just stuck my hand in.
Dominic: Move the camera more so it's covering the thingy.
Paul: No! it's good like this. [pause] Are they coming or what?
Dominic: Kevin! Fish! Like you're doing something!
Paul: [laughs] Oh no! They don't know how to drive the - [view of us failing at canoeing.]
Dominic: They're going behind the tree. What are you guys doing?!
Paul: They're not wearing "piratae" signs.
[view of us failing at capturing Kevin]
Paul: That was bad! Do it again! Aidan, you actually have to get out of the canoe! Shove him in, and pretend like you're shoving him!
Me: Do you know how impossible that is?!
So yeah. No way am I cutting the sound out like we had planned originally. It's just too good.
I think that's it. My, that was an unstructured entry.
