Hi there! I'm me, I think I'll just say that in case people I know come here and see this I don't want them to know. Well, do you want to know some stuff about me? I think you do. Well, if not, TOO BAD! 
Well, I think the first thing to say about me is that I'm a Band Geek, yes, that's a very appropriate title that fits me very well. I'm a Freshman in High School and I joined marching band and I loved it! I play the flute, in case you were wondering. In case you don't know, being in High School is a big hassle these days. I wish I lived back in 'the day', which I consider being the late 1700's and early 1800's, because I'm very fond of that Victorian age. It's very complicated being a girl in the school I go to because, frankly, all the guys (except select few, whom I am friends with) are perverts. I know that is a very rude and perogatory thing to say, since I nearly almost never swear, but it is the very golden truth. Well, I'm getting off subject, again...In Middle School, I was what people would call a 'slacker'. I felt that school wasn't very fun, very interesting, and I found it a waste of time, since at my old school, which was a private school, I learned everything the public schools were teaching me. So, I practically failed everything. Well, not failed, but I didn't get the grade I could've gotten with even a little effort, but anyway. When I got to my high school it was so awesome! I started thinking about the future, college, a career, but at sometimes I was afraid that I would lose my very childish like 'quality'. In short, my very care-free, gay (old definition which is happy), happy outlook on everything, loving everyone and everything, almost annoying at times quality. I was happy even when people insulted me I found something good about, not always, but I tried. When I got into Marching Band I basically had to remove any social life I had and practice music on the days we didn't have practice, practice marching technique before and after practices just, go to the Varsity Football games every Friday and preform, and go to Competitions every Saturday, and when we did or didn't have competitions on Saturdays we started practice at the least 7:00 A.M. And when we had competitions we started our day with it still dark, got complants from people that lived around our school (a lot), and we never got home before mid-night. By the way, practices were from 6-9 P.M. every Tues. and Thurs. Now, our band director is brand new to the school, but the best of the bunch. He's young and full of energy...unfortunately it means he can yell longer and louder. Well, he is all about perfection, as well. So, when marching season was over it was a big relief. However, us naive Freshmen forgot all about the Solo and Ensemble. That's where your band director gives you a solo or a piece you have to do with an ensemble and about a month from then you go to a high school that's probably not yours and play it in front of a judge! I really hate to say this, but our band director never gives us anything CLOSE to easy. He challenges us and pushes us to beyond whatever we imagened we could've done. So, he's also not the kind that gives easy solos. And, man! My solo was super hard! Everyone's like, 'Omg, I feel soooo bad for you.' and I just nodd my head sadly-like and just say yeah. But, I practiced my freakin' butt off. Every day at least an hour, and staying after school and working with the band director and my section leader, and working with the accompniest (which I only got to practice with her the day before my solo!). Turns out, when I got to the practice with the accompniest she said I was awesome! She said I was going to do great! And, I'm like yeah...lol...that's me...and sarcastically pretending to be cool (I'm funny.). So, I got a Superior!!! YEAH! GO ME! I GOT A MEDAL! Well, now we're in Wind Ensemble mode, and we're doing some pretty tuff stuff, like 'Barnum and Bailey's Favourite', and 'Third Suite', and 'Elegy to a Young American'. And that last one, 'Elegy to a Young American' was actually written after J.F.K's death and dedicated to him. It's a very sad, emotional song. Well, besides band I'm very addictive towards that online game called Neopets. Neopets.com. That's the url. I own a guild, too. I'm pretty good at getting items and neopoints. And my guild's doing alright. Well, I'll write some more stuff in entries, but that's all you have to know to keep up with me. If not, I'll put in other stuff as I go along. There are a few queer sayings our freaking, loud, obnoxious, weird brass section says, so I'll have to explain when I say them. See ya around, hopefully!
