There's only 5 more days until NAU Music Camp starts. I'm pretty excited. There's going to be more people there that I know than in previous years. I've also been talking to Robin since he's already there, and he's pretty excited too. He brought his Xbox, his roommate brought his Xbox, and I'm bringing mine. I'm thinking a big Halo 2 party down in the lobby... Haha, good stuff.
Since Liz is going, she asked me to audition with her for the "variety show" at camp. We're going to do "The Prayer" from the movie "Quest for Camelot" sung by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. I hope we make it. It's such a cool song. And we were also talking about audtioning for pops with either that piece or something else. I'm not too sure.
Well, I'm going to have a lot of packing to do, so I guess I should get started now. I'll probably be bored during this week unless someone wants to call me and do something. : ) I hope you all have a joyous day, may your life be blessed with happiness.

It's been a really good few weeks out of school. I think there's only been 2-3 days where I didn't leave my house. Pretty good. Well, here's what happened yesterday (copied from my xanga):
Oh, yesterday... Such a good day. It started out crappy, but turned into something great quickly. Chris and I were going to go to sunsplash at 9, but quarter to 9 he calls and says that we're going at 3. So I got up 6 hours before I needed to... but it turned into good! I got to play Guild Wars and Halo 2 on and off for 6 hours! Good stuff.
So at sunsplash, it was Chris, Dustin, Katie, Torie and I. Then when we were on the lazy river, Kelcy comes and finds us, so we become 6. So after going on some slides and stuff, we get on the lazy river for the 8th time and I met my future wife, Cindy Lu. Cindy Lu isn't her real name, but we still call her Cindy Lu. So after a long while, I say hi, and Chris asks if Cindy Lu is her real name. We didn't really get an answer, so after we went around the river again, I commented that Cindy Lu is a nice name to her. Then she turned into the snobby rich girl she is. She asked if I could read because her name was on her name tag on her hat, which I could not see. After she asked that, I just swam away... Then sat at a table and stared at her. Then we left.
After sunsplash, we (minus Chris because he's a whore) went to 5 and Diner. I got The Big Bopper Burger:
2 beef patties, 2 slices of cheese, lettuce, onion all on 2 pieces of bun. I ate it all. I also ate all my fries, some of Dustin's "wet fries", about 3 onion rings, and some cheese sticks. It was awesome... I love food. I could go to 5 and Diner every day. So good...
Well, that was my day yesterday. I'm not sure what I'm doing today. Dustin and I were going to go to a "One" event, but he hasn't called me, so I guess I'm not going. Tell me if there is anything you're doing any time that you want to invited me
Yup, so that's pretty much what my summer has been like so far. Pretty fun. I can't wait until camp. It'll be really fun.

The choir concert was pretty good. Afterwards a lot of people (Robin and Chelsea) were crying. After the cry-fest, we went to BJ's. It was pretty fun. We were all split up, but it was still fun. Jill, Krina, and I got a table and got a pizza. When the waiter gave us the bill, I drew him a picture of him waiting on us and said "Thanks for the service". It was pretty good. We gave him a good tip too. Good times. After that I hung out with everyone outside. Then I got a ride back with Chris as we listened to "They Might Be Giants" because that is the only CD he has in his car.
When I got home, I found out we had no electricity. Fun stuff. So we had an electrician come. There was a loose screw or something that made them go out, so he tightened that, then we had power. But the A/C doesn't work now becuase the power surge shorted the motor out I guess. So we have to have the fixed (hopefully soon becuase it's really hot). Well, that pretty much sums up my day. The good and the bad. Hope you had a great weekend. Adios.

Oh my. I've been playing Guild Wars so much lately I haven't done anything new to my site in a while. I've been pretty busy with school and homework and such. But let's forget about the past and talk about the future.
First, this weekend is the final choir concert of the year. I'm not that excited about this one, maybe because it's not Pops, or maybe because Voce has one day to learn choreography for the second half of a song. I don't feel too confident about Voce right now. I'm kind of glad I won't be in it next year.
On the 21st, my band is going to be playing at my sister's work banquet. I don't think anyone can really come to hear us except for the people that work there. It's not a paying gig, but it should be really good experience. We're also playing at Dimuth's birthday party that me and Danny are throwing for him. I'm not sure when it's going to be, but it's going to be awesome.
Star Wars III comes out in 8 days! I've already got my ticket for May 19, 6:15. I'm also making a costume. I've already got most of the cloak already sewed. It's going to be pretty awesome. If you want to come, you should. Go to Harkins and get the ticket. Don't get it online, they say it's sold out, but it's really not.
Finally, school is edging towards its last week. Very sad. All of my senior pals will be gone off to college. Oh, they'll miss me, but we'll always have email. *tear*

This week Guild Wars came out. I'm so happy. That's all I've been doing the past three days. It's so cool. I think you should buy it so we can play together. Think about it.
Well, only one more month of school. Yay! I have to write an essay for English. It's supposed to compare and contrast The Odyssey and India. I'm not really sure how it's gonna work out. We've also had to read a book so we can take a test on it (friday). I've been reading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend. I recomend this book to anyone who can look at Christianity and laugh. I, myself, am Catholic, and found this book hilarious. Some people, however, find this book offensive and total blashphemy. Example: the teacher who is reading the book to make the quiz questions (I don't know her name) found the book very offensive and is taking the book off the list of books to read for next year.
The choir concert is May 13-14 for all who want to know. It'll be pretty good.
Have a good day.

Prom report 2005: This Saturday was pretty hectic. I had to get up at 6 and I got home about 12:45. First I had to go to school to catch the bus to go to ASU. We practiced for All-State and everything. Friday and Saturday, I went to "The Chuckbox". It was a great place with great onion rings and giant burgers. Yum. I want to have that for lunch every day. So good. Anyways, we had our concert at 5ish. It was awesome. So after that, I had to rush home, take a shower, eat, and get ready for prom. Although I probably could've taken my time since Stephanie was 2 hours late. Haha. But it's all good. I got to play Guild Wars. Yay!
Once we got there, I kind of felt out of place, but then it was fun. I met some interesting (drunk) people. Like the guy who told me, Robin, and Justin that we "don't need girls. You need your bros. Women: Fuck 'em." And while he said all this, he swung around a vase filled with water, which we thought was going to spill on one of us, but it didn't.
So many iteresting stories, not enough time.

Happy Bomb Threat Day! Hurrah for violence! Haha. Yeah, so today we had a bomb threat at school. It was pretty funny. About 10 minutes before 6th period was over, there was an anouncement saying "a situation has accured" and that we had to leave school right after the period was over. So we got to go home early. It was pretty cool. I didn't have to take this math test that I had to make up.
All state practice is tomorrow. I really hope I pass the part check. I've barely practiced. But if I do pass the part check, everyone has to come to the concert. I think the concert is at 5 P.M. at ASU in Gammage, but I could be wrong. Be prepared to buy tickets, and they're probably not cheap.
I just turned in my pictures today to get them developed, so I'll be getting the tomorrow. They will probably be posted by Monday, but I can't promise.
April 11, 2005
I made Jarztecs! I'm so freaking excited! It's going to be awesome. I love myself. Lol. That's pretty much the news today. Everyone needs to come to our first concert next year to see me because I'll be in Jaztecs! Haha. I'm happy.

Tour was pretty fun. We did a lot of things. Thursday we recorded our music at the college, then we went to the beach, then we went to go see "The King and I". I'd never been to Hollywood. I took at picture of Hank Winkler's star. It was awesome. Friday, we performed at some church. Voce was the first to go, so no one was watching us. It was pretty sad. We actually did pretty good. After the performance, we all went to the mall to eat (in our tuxes and dresses). After that, we went to the hotel to change, then the beach for an hour. Then we went on the boat ride. I was on top of the boat talking to people most of the time, but I did go down to the bottom and dance. But I didn't quite like that part... "Weird" people. "Weird" people everywhere.
Saturday morning, at 7:30, we left for Magic Mountain. We got there 30 minutes before it opened, and stood in line to be let in. Then once we got in, me, Jared, Marc, Allison, and Sam went on Collosus, and I discovered something: Roller coasters are freaking awesome. I want to get a roller coaster in my back yard so I can ride it every day. I thought I wouldn't like them, but I love them now. I love Six Flag. I want to work there so I can get in for free.
Anyways, we went on Collosus. Then, I decided I wanted to go on Goliath. I love that ride. After that we went on some other rides. It was pretty awesome. Then wanted to eat, and that's when it went down hill. I really hate drama. I really do. I'll just leave it at that. Anyways, our original group ditched everyone else and went shopping. Me and Marc got Batman back packs. They're pretty pimp. Yea, so we went on some more rides and such until 10, which is when the park closes and we had to leave. Then we had an 8 hour bus ride back. I slept through most of it. It wasn't so bad. And we just got back about 3 hours ago. Yup, tour was pretty awesome. Can't wait for the next one.
April 4, 2005
Only two more days until tour. It's come up so quickly. Amazing. Well, it should be fun. The best part will probably be the beach or the boat ride, since I'm not a big fan of rollercoasters. The only thing I'm worried about is the festival. I really hope we don't screw it up. : )
March 30, 2005
Two more months. Two more months until the end of freshmen year. I will be able to shed the freshmen title. I'm excited. I'm also thrilled about tour coming up next week. It should be really be fun. The festival will be crap because we don't know our music, but everything else should be fun. It's not our fault that Voce doesn't know the music, I think it's Hebert's. Like today, instead of working on the piece that we just started learning like we should've, we went outside to listen to the band play. I, along with some others, was furious. But it did give me time to do some math homework.
I tried out for Jaztecs yesterday. I thought I did pretty good. The sight reading was easy, but I can never pick a note out of a chord. Oh well. I really hope I get in. I'd like to be in a choir that actually works. : D
Also, this weekend is "Morp", which should be fun. I'm going with Kelci. I'm not sure what we're doing. She meantioned something about a play boy bunny costume? I don't know. It's going to be a good week.
March 26, 2005
I'm sad to report, neither bands have any new recordings. Friday, only Chris could come, so we didn't have much progress. And today, I couldn't get a hold of John, who was bringing half of the band, so I just decided not to have band practice. But I did get pretty far on my new game, "Phantom Dust". Haha. Such a lazy day. Catch you on the flip side.
March 24, 2005
Happy (or maybe not so happy) Holy Thursday to all. And by "all", I mean me and the few people that look at this site. The Doppler Effect is coming over tomorrow and my other band I'm in (we don't have a name yet) is meeting Saturday. Hopefully we'll get a recording out of one of the two. Happy Easter!
