Finals are gross.
So i've been buckling down all week. Next week is gonna be hell.

asdfgh!
schoolwork is slowly taking the life out of me...!
;__;

so my marimba band just got a recording of one of our performances. Mostly just to test it out. We play mostly traditional Shona music (from Zimbabwe, Africa) or Shona inspired music.
here's a sample of what it sounds like if you feel like downloading it:

i can't wait till we go to Ometepe!!!!

i'm gonna go and stop procrastinating on homework.

So i'm FINALLY back online and stuff. The place where my mom works were getting a bunch of new computers (even though the ones they had were nice/good) and were selling the old ones dirt cheap. So my mum brought one home, and its an apple and happy.

So we've been getting as much crap off our old computer and onto the new one today. And now its all set up and great (though i need to re-install a bunch of crap)

I BET YOUR WONDERING ABOUT THE DRAG QUEENS?!

well, this is something that happened at my friends house.
We're up in her brother's room and we're all playing some super smash bros, when we hear a 'tap tap' on their window (which is on the 2nd floor)

We all get up to investigate, draw the blinds and see a HOARD of cross dressers in their driveway throwing rocks at the window. We all look at each other and are like wtf!?

on closer inspection, we all see that its people we know. My friend does a lot of theatre and stuff, and right now they're doing GYPSY, so theres all of these skimpy outfits for costumes. Appearantly the cast (or the teenage boy portion) decided to parade around town in the skimpy out fits.

The next thing we notice is that they have sticks, and plastic swords and stuff.

The "leader" says that we're under attack and we have 5 minutes to get some weapons, or else they won't leave, and will start SINGING.

We're all freaking out wondering what the hell is going on. So five minutes later, we're all standing on their front porch with a giant cardboard dragon head (that we made a couple months ago for school), a Lacrosse stick, and a freakin JUMPROPE looking at these 10 or so guys dressed in drag, looking ready to chase us down.

We end up getting into this giant fake sword fight thing (we established beforehand no actual trying to hurt each other) that stretches across the entire street, and the one next to it. The dragon head is just wacking people in the back and bopping them on the head and it was SO hard not to just stop and laugh and stare.

My friend got kidnapped, and one of the guys brought their kid sister, so we took her and started sprinting away as fast as we could. She starts kicking my friend's brother and he DROPS her, and they all catch up with us and we're surrounded.

One of them yells "Theres only one way to settle this! ITS A DANCE OFF"
but we end up having a "sing off" instead. and so we're freakin screaming at the tops of our lungs camp songs, and they're coming back at us with some shit from rent.

we end up back at my friends house, with these 10 dudes, a little sister, and us playing video games.

Then their mom comes home and is like "WHAT THE FU** IS GOING ON HERE!? D8<"
i ended up going home that night.

This sums up my winter break (and my brother is getting married)

school starts tomorrow, and so does the 2nd quarter of orchestra.

you have no idea how upset and annoyed i am with my computer right now!
Its running again... but not really, and we can't afford "repairing" it again or getting a new one right now (curse you brothers! and your college educations!)

i can use things like word...and itunes, but things like IM or photoshop keep dying and not opening/working

and my internet browsers keep crashing too! things like my e-mail and other websites now can only be checked once in a blue moon..

even deviantart is wanting to crash on me most of the time!

*i'm jacking my friends computer for a few minutes to write this*

WISH ME LUCK!

P.S: loki has left and happy new year!

I got braces today (AGAIN)!
this is my second phase...i think its a scam

they're RAINBOW... and they hurt...


I wish i had more time to slack off on the computer (curses!)
BUT COME FRIDAY I WILL BE FREE FOR WINTER BREAK! C: (though basketball continues through)
I just found out that two of my cousins, my uncle, my grandparents, my great grandma, and my brother's girlfriend are coming over to spend christmas with us... and we don't have enough room in our house (there's barely enough room for my family as it is)

Looks like we're putting up the grandparents in a hotel!
