Around 11 tonight i found myself in the trailer, the house all locked up, everyone asleep, and me needing to pee. So i called my sister to attempt to get her to let me in:
Jessica: I'm not getting up to let you in.
Me: please? I really have to pee!
Jessica: You can pee in the backyard.
Me: Fine, but I'm going right beneath you bedroom window and as the sun rises and its warm rays fall upon my pee and the fumes begin to make there way into your room while your only halfway through your 2 hour hair and make up process you'll be thinking two things: 1, I should have just let Stephanie in to use the toilet and 2, it smells like gatorade and tootsie rolls. Plus i hit my head this morning and i really need some...
Jessica: Alright I'm getting up!
Note to self: Detailed information about steaming pee is an excellent persuasive technique when dealing with little sister.
My weekend will basically consist of studying for my finals (band scales included) and doing chores. I am ok with this though because 1: My grades will rules for the first time since that one trimester in 8th grade. and 2: My mom has offered to pay me 100 dollars if I help clean out the shed, clean the garage work on the yard and do some cleaning in the house. I have big plans for this money, they...

WatchToday i failed a scales test after 5 days of practicing non stop. I was a little upset and feeling completely incompetent. Then i decided i try the whole Julia Nunes ukulele music video thing. Its actually a little harder then i thought it would be but anything ukulele is usually fun, so long as its not major scales. This is just a first attempt little pre-test kind of thing but it made me feel a...

History Day 3.14-FUCK YES!
Alright so i didnt get a chance to finish the introduction before the school division of history day. I finished it about halfway then the very vital video converting software gave out at about midnight so that was that. I turned in the video with the old intro and instead improved the bibliography. Aparently it was all good though because WE MADE IT TO DISTRICT DIVISION!!! I know this is only the...
History Day 4?
History got very exciting today when i was talking to Mrs. Blythe about our script and what changes we could make. In the middle of the conversation i got this insane idea for an enitrely new introduction. I had intended to spend all my free time throughout the day practicing mainstreet america since mooring was going to be testing all the section leader in front of the whole band at practice...
History Day 3- Interview W/ John Page!
Today i got an email interview with John Page! Its not as great as having actual footage of an interview with him would have been (ill be kicking myself for years to come for that one) but the information he gave us was extremely helpful and gives us one of the interview credits we need for our project! If you dont know, John Page founded the Fender Center in Corona and is an extremely...
I’d also like to add that I’m sitting here trying to find all the pictures and video i already found and used in the documentary and annotate them because we havent put them in our bibliography yet and because we were in such a crunch for time to finish the project in 2 days i didnt bother to record any of the url’s i found them at.
History Day 2- I fucked up BIG TIME
So way back at the beginning of the school year Mrs. Blyth handed out a packet with details regarding the bibliography and process paper that would need to be turned in along with our documentary. The packet a lot of pages with a lot of information all writen in incredibly small writing. It just so happens we over looked a very important line that read “MUST have at least TWO...
