Just wanted to let you all know that yesterday at the Huron Valley Invitation we again took first with all three captions and scored a 80.6!
XOXO

Infinity and Beyond (BOX 5)
[WRITTEN ON 10/30/09]
Where to begin...
I suppose I should start with an apology; I'm truly sorry that I haven't been updating. I've been so busy- although I'd be a hypocrite if I began listing excuses.
I guess an important topic could be marching band. Just yesterday something hit me- the season ends a week from tomorrow! It has went by incredibly fast. Its funny to think that as my sophomore year of marching band is ending, my sophomore year of high school is still just beginning. We broke 80 last week at Clarkston! We got first with all three captions by a landslide. Which is really exciting. I firmly believe that if we push ourselves to the edge and stay focused box five is possible. For those of you who don't know what box five is, it is the score range in the 90 percentile and above. Something that's always been a goal of ours, but also something that we have never been able to attain. We come close, but never actually received a box five score. Only 1 band in Flight 3 has ever done it in the entire history of the MCBA; that was Hudsonville about 15 years ago under the old score sheets. And boy would I love to cream Stevensville. We'll just have to wait and see though.
Last night, I was inducted into my school's chapter of the National Honor Society. The ceremony itself wasn't all that intriguing- but it was still an exciting experience; and the cookies and punch afterward were exquisite.
Jillian (my best friend) is going out with our friend Ryan again. They are possibly the cutest couple in the school. In terms of my own love life, I'm a little confused at the moment. I've been feeling more and more attracted to this kid with every day that passes. FYI, I used to have a huge crush on this kid. Like I said, I am attracted to him I wouldn't necessarily call it a crush though. Anyway, we've kinda been flirting a lot but the thing is, he's semi-flirty with everyone. So I don't know what to make of it. I'll let you know what happens with that (have you figured out who I'm talking about yet Britt?).
There's so much more that I could talk about, but its going on 11:00 and I have to get up at 6:00. I'll make sure to talk about homecoming, Stratford, as well as a couple other things next time.
PS- my dad's sentencing is on Wednesday- yet another topic to discuss next time.

Sorry
So sorry that I haven't posted anything in an eternity. My internet was down and is just now back up.
I have so much to tell you, but unfortunately right now I am going to bed. Idk when I'll actually be able to inform you on the happenings of the past few weeks, hopefully Thursday but def not by tmw. It is on the top of my list of things to do though, I swear.
I love you all.

Forgot to mention that our score tonight was higher than anyone else's from all flights. :)

Effin Boss as All Get Out
Yo.
So I got home from the Trenton competition about an hour ago.
We took 1st capturing all 3 captions (best music, best marching, and best general effect) with a score of 73.05- the highest we have EVER received in September. We did absolutely amazing. Too bad I can't post a video though! I did leave my camera for my mom, but because she's a DAB she couldn't figure it out. Whatever though, she tried. :/
I am exhausted, but very proud and pleased.
FERNDALE IS BOSS!
your a jerk.
Buenos noches.

Sad face.
Wow, two posts in one day. Definitely a big accomplishment.
Unfortunately, the inspiration for this one comes from sad news. But I guess there had to be some sad stuff during the year, right? But I've got my fingers crossed that it won't become a frequent thing.
So basically, it's not really that big of a deal. I really have no idea why I'm making it into such a big one.
This is the story.
I was supposed to be going to homecoming with my very best friend. Tonight, at youth group I found out that that's no longer the plan. Apparently, she and another friend of ours had decided to go together but neither had officially asked the other. Before I go any further, let me just add that A) we agreed to go with each other unless we were asked, B) this other friend is gay. Anyway, so I'm standing there talking with this other friend about how I'm am going with my best friend, and then she walks over to us. Both say they were waiting for the other to ask, and confirm that they are in fact going together. All the while, I'm just standing there dumbstruck; no one could have clued me in? For one, at least in my eyes, that is a completely bogus way to handle it. For two, how am I gonna get another date when homecoming is a week? Let me rephrase that- a DECENT date. Yeah, I would go so far as to say that this is a dilemma.
But it gets better. We're walking up the stairs and she turns to me and says, "You know you're coming over to help me get ready, right?". Really? You leave me hanging like that, and then go there?
But wait, there's still more! During closing prayer, we're going around in a circle saying any prayer requests that we might have, and she turns around- looks at me, and then says she would like to pray for people not to be hypocrites. Am I not allowed to get upset about stuff? Maybe that prayer was meant for herself, because I know that if I got a date, a week before the dance, and DID NOT tell her, she would flip out. I understand that we had an agreement, but at this point, it's really shitty of her to do that. Now I don't have a date- and let me just mention once more that is now a week before the dance. At my school it is a really hard task to find someone that I consider decent, that is also dateless. As I have also mentioned before, I strongly dislike A LOT of people. I know that's a really bad quality to have, but unfortunately that's part of my character.
I'm pretty sure that I'm blowing this way out proportion, maybe it's because I'm PMSing. Whether or not that is the case, I got fucked over by my best friend; and it sucks.
