Almost Christmas. woohoo

Multiple story arcs here so lets get down to business, shall we?

Music And Idiocy: I've been pretty beastly in the music department lately. Like, more than usual even. I've been roaring on my trombone during pep band as well as bossing percussion. I'm just killin it every which way. Played the orchestra concert this past thursday which went well. Except for the fact that during warm up I almost lost my $#!7 because this one broad by the name of Lillian gets up on Murph's conductor stand to lead the group in warm ups (some of us Wind Ensemble people accompanied the orchestra) then in a run of the chart order. She didn't conduct at all and the group was getting out of time despite Kristan's best efforts to shout out things on the fly to keep them together. When Lillian gave an extremely flashy cut-off (as Cindy so hilariously put it) like a chiken bursting out of the coop, I asked if I could conduct so she could play (the excuse I used when really I just wanted her gone) and that I was losing my mind at how out of time the group was. Well she refused, again despite Kristan's best efforts this time to get me up there because I can actually conduct, stating that she knew what she was doing. I didn't disagree with her in this but I couldn't know one way or the other because she DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! IN PIECES WITH PAUSES AND TEMPO CHANGES!! Seriously, I was about to flip a bitch. No foolin. I started snapping my fingers in time and clapping so they'd get in time and almost grabbed the cowbell. Luckily they were good in front of a conductor and the concert went smoothly. That and I showed no mercy with my timpani part in dictating the tempo. The other groups were very good as well. They included the cadet orchestra, both choirs, and a choir and orchestra combination. Oh speaking of choir I saw Bethany. (I know what you're thinking, "Ugh. Really Levi? More crap about Bethany?" But this was just something I had to share because it made me laugh) Which brings me to my next story...

And not a single F*** was given that day: After the concert I was talking to my cousin because my 2nd cousin, his son, is in the orchestra. Well I bid them farewell then saw Bethany and figured I'd say hi real quick and make my final rounds to the other choir kids before splittin. Well we were talking and walking toward the door when this one choir kid (I don't know the cat but he seemed to be the kind of guy who was a little too into the show Glee if you know what I mean. Not tryin to be offensive I'm just aiming for description of character) comes up and walks on the other side of Bethany then proceeds to say, "Oh look, Bethany's boyfriend is right up ahead!" As if to make a point to me. (to refer to past events, Bethany's friends hate me for reasons I still don't know and gave her constant crap while we dated until she broke up with me)To which I responded, "Oh yeah I know Caleb, he's a great guy. Hey Caleb how are ya?" and shook his hand. If it were an internet comic that frame would've been the one with the "Eff Yea" guy. Bethany also hugged me like 3 or 4 times before she left so it was just like a huuuuge middle finger to that kid. Bethany and I are still friends. She's ok with it, I'm ok with it, frig even Caleb is ok with it. I can't see why her other friends can't seem to back the frick off besides the fact that I'm pretty good friends with Marcus. Doesn't bother me though. Because either way, I still win. And it's sooo much fun to be trollin on those kids when they think they're so clever then their minds just get blown and boom goes the dynamite.

I'm apparently a good friend: Erin and I are pretty good friends again. The whole awkwardness thing has blown over completely and I'm back up in the standing with her that I was in before I even asked her out. She sent me a text a few nights ago tellling me that she was glad I was in her econ class and that I'm such a good friend because I back her up on stuff against Tyranny. I capitalize Tyranny because that's the chicks name yet also a great descriptor. So yeah there I am. Friends with Erin once more. That's all it'l ever be. I'd almost like to try asking her out again but do it in person this time like a man with some fricking balls but I'm pretty sure I'll get rejected just not in as indignant of a fashion as the sticky note got.

Misc Stuff: My parents re-arranged my room completely without telling me and screwed up my placement of things because I saw a mouse in the house near my room that probably came in when we brought the Christmas decorations in from the shed.

Murph and I pranked one of the freshmen into "finding the tacet" which is a percussion item that doesn't actually exist. I told her it was in the percussion cabinet next to the cymbal tuner. After I let her off the hook she smacked me upside the head quite vigorously but we had a good laugh about it. I still felt bad though so I got her a bag of Jolly Ranchers and then she gave me some of her mom's homemade pepperment bark.

Kara and I are in quite the good friendship standing too. We currently have plans for her to come to my house and play M rated games (such as CoD: Black Ops) and watch R rated movies because her parents won't let her despite her being 17. Oooh man. I'm such an enabler of rebellion I know but honestly I've been playing M rated games and watching R rated movies for as long as I can remember and it hasn't made me use drugs, extreme profanity, get a girl pregnant, or kill anyone. So I figured someone who's already a teenager wouldn't be that scarred by Beverly Hills Cop, Old School, or Mortal Kombat.

I got accepted to Purdue much to the chagrin of my mother, had a great performance at Bloomington North High School today with the Jazz Band, and I miss my bestest friend ever Brittany Ferrari incredibly. ^_^ That's pretty much it.
