But the title really does mean something.



Ok, my life this week.



On Monday, myself, Tim, Shane, and Vikki all got cut from the Big Band because we are all going to Tim's prom. I get to be his dance partner, and We are all gonna party the night away. But, Tim's prom is the same weekend as a music festival that the Big Band plays at every year. Usually, we open the whole weekend on Saturday. But this year, we got invited to do an evening dance gig. The same night as grad. So, we were told to turn in our folders.



We weren't kicked out officially, but all four of us are the ones in the band that Kelly (the leader) doesn't want anymore. Tim, Shane and I because we are teenagers and good musicians to boot, and vikki and I because we don't put up with the band politics (George's temper tantrums, nasty fatness and drinking problems). Also, we have been vying for better music in our sets, and that is a no-no. So we were very subtly told to get the hell out, because there are no more gigs after Alsek! Ha ha! And nobody in the Big Band has ever been told to turn in their folders before either, and nobody has ever been told that they don't need to show up for rehearsals either (vikki has been there since the start, and last monday's rehearsal was unprecedented). So that sucked.



But! The week has only just begun! Tuesday, I was supposed to play at a talent show with my jazz combo (the Shane Cichon Sextant---great music for all occasions!). Now, here is the deal. Sunday, we were supposed to go to sound check. The guys in front of us (only two of them) took 45 minutes. 45 FUCKING MINUTES! how long does it take to set the levels for two guitars and two voices? hmm? so we decided to skip the sound check, and go practice. I asked Reid (the guy in charge), and he said no problem. So we get there Tuesday night, straight out of Senior Stage Band (the high school band I am in), and Reid says, "Sorry you are cut." Then, he wouldn't tell me why, and he told me if I didn'tstop harassing him he would have security escort me from the building! Can you believe it? I have been in a really pissy mood since.



So Wednesday night, I didn't go to band. I just didn't want to be around anybody. I pulled an all-nighter, which was fricking horrendous, and I decided to go to aikido (yes, i am now in aikido) on Thursday. That was fun. And painful. But still fun. My sensei is a good looking french guy with these huge owl glasses that make him look so cute! I mean, he is so cute I can't desire him at all! I can only go "Daaaaaaaw! *murr* n.n"



*cough cough* Well that was random.



Anyways, I worked on Friday which was fun, and then I pulled another (sort of) all nighter! I did fall asleep, but let me put it this way. I had to get up at 8AM. When I finally fell asleep, robins were singing (stupiddamnbirdsfrompooopyhell*grumblegrumble*).



In the morning (morning? I hadn't experienced night yet!), I drank the most coffee I have drank in months. This would be Saturday now. I didn't eat anything until about 7PM (I started at 8, and I ended at 8, so that would make it 11 hours straight on just coffee). And miracles of miracles...when I got off work at 5, I wasn't tired! I had worked my ass off all day (we recycled about $2200 of cans and bottles---which is a lot for us, in case you were wondering). I had enough energy to take Abraham for a walk! And then I took a bath before passing out.



So I fell asleep at about 8. i woke up 4 hours ago. I slept for 4 hours last night, and I haven't been able to fall asleep since. So today should be interesting. I work, and then I go to aikido., yay! I am gonna die! more coffee!
