We woke up the nieghborhood

Tiffany our drum major gets down lol

Yea, you wish your marching band could play at your house! lol


Yay working another double tonight! lol I got to go home early yesterday so I drove up to Monroe to stay with my family. I got a lot more sleep! lol Tonight Laura is going to stay with me. So that's good. Can't wait til Friday (because I don't have to work! lol) Saturday is the big day. Nationals is the biggest dance compeition of the year. I think we are only against one other team (the ramettes who aren't the best...) I'll post pics of that later. lol

Adios!

2 posts in one day?

I would just like to say...WTF?! Is that their fire station? lol

An example of duty (as explained below) This is my sister meredith standing duty at the foot of the fort. She stamps peoples tickets.

My dog owns you....and can fly :)



Yay so fourth of july weekend, I'll be home alone. Great. I'll be working and my family will be in Monroe. dillyo. Oh well I hope the boogey man doesn't get me! lol

free DSO concert?! heck yes! lol

Yea I so I guess this job has some perks! lol The detroit symphony orchestra is playing at Greenfield village starting tonight through monday and I get in for free!!! They said that the food tent is near the concert.....so that rocks! lol So nothing else to exciting. My grandpa's brother is in town with his family. My grandparents are in China. I wonder if they can speak chinese....hopefully lol Yay! I got new windows in my room. They replaced the original windows (and when I say original I mean 1932 windows......they weren't the best...lol) Mine never opened so now I have windows that I can open! Can I get an amen? lol Maybe I'll take a picture of them and then post it. Can't wait to get my new computer. I just need my parents to go with me to get one. They are moving sorta slow, I must say. Vacation bible school was fun yesterday. lol We did some skits adn I was the father. "Is the father from the south?" "No just the southern part of Egypt" lol I'm sorry thats how I talk lol

Home again!!!!

Havn't had a random picture in a while.....lol I have a weird part in my hair.....hmmm Picture courtsey of my best friend miss katie dupree! lol

Anyho.......I am back from my AOP ( orientation program) I have my classes picked for next year. I will admit I was quite stressed as I don't have a gasp on what career I would like...Right now I'm in history and thats nice I guess. But my dream is to become a comedian either on the radio or tv or stand-up and I don't want to throw that aside. So maybe I could try communications or broadcasting...hmm. But you need all of your core classes first anyways so. I thought of a cute name for my old high school's marching band theme (because you know i-pod sorta a registered trademark name...lol) I think it should be something like "Pocket DJ" because like 99% of i-pod owners carry theirs in their pockets. I know creative, huh? lol

I was in Barnes and Nobles for like an hour today just wondering. I actually wondered thru East Lansing for about four hours on my own. (It ended at like 10 and my sister came at like 2:15ish) I went to Starbucks and had a fab double chocolate chip frap. and I think that might be what gets me through college! lol Bonus: my dorm is like next door to it! Yay for being on the border of campus! Well I will stop rambling and let you all get back to your lives.
Great quote of yesterday: "Do you think that if I lied to ASCAP, I could still get a tote bag???" lol probably not...

augh its 5:17 am!

College oreintation today and tomorrow! I'll be home tomorrow around 5 or early evening. Wish me luck!!!!!

oops sorry! lol

Sorry about the cut off audio....its hard with a no cell rule. I saw one of the adults and had to hang up! lol

Well it was rather interesting, I guess. Especially since I did NOT want to come back this year at all! lol Taking a year off with INW sorta made me not want to go back. Standing duty was alright. (Duty-equals two and a half hours of standing outside greeting visitors and other weird jobs such as cleaning the cannon and stamping tickets) Some days it rained and some days the sun shone so bright you couldn't even see. Flags sucked in teh beginning of the week. I was Canadian on Avenue and so all the flags go up and down at the same time. We had to practice so much! (Flags- each girl and her flag partner each have a flag to lower and raise, its sorta hard to do! lol)
I worked in the Governor's Mansion on Wednesday. It has a lot of rooms. But I did see a box of Corona! (Shame on you Jennifer Graholm!!!) We helped with the tours of her house. We had two busy days! Augh! (Busy Days-a day when your patrol can NOT leave the barraacks at all, all day. You have kapers to do and they have to be done by like 10:15. We cook all the meals for the day and do a service project. We had to sweep like 13 flights of steps on this one trail.)

So this isn't your typical Girl Scout camp, oh no, its a lot of work and energy. Well it is a service camp so its supposed to be strict, I guess. One of our biggest rules is not to fratinize (whoa spelling) with the male fortstaff. (AKA the soldiers of the fort) Of course I find the only loop hole! lol Well on my busy day, at fortstaff night I was the 'hopper' (you serve your table and get whatever they need) All of the soldiers come to our barracks for dinner. There were like three at my table. They weren't the best that we have had so I just ate and didn't talk very much. Well the next day my duty was in the fort. One of the soldiers (who had been at my table) came up and asked if I was majoring in History at MSU (I am...) I was like yes, how'd you know? "Oh, I looked you up on facebook" !! He looked me up on the internet?! lol I didn't even know that he knew my name! lol ha so we said that we can fratinize with the fortstaff online! lol (Oh and don't worry about that guy, he just wanted to tell me that he is head of the history depeartment at MSU and just wanted me to know in case I had questions about it, nothing creepy! lol)

ok I'm done. Augh I have to work today after having a week off. OOOOO yea my old high school director is now the prinicple at Keppen School. So as of now my high school has no badn director. Their first marching band rehearsal is next week!!! Well I'm out of high school so it doesn't affect me! lol

Miss me!! lol

I leave at 6 am tomorrow for Mackinac Island! I'll be back late Saturday night, next Saturday not this one, lol. I swear I'll find the internet cafe (I say that every year and have yet to find it! lol)


Bye!! Adios! Ciao!! Miss me! lol

We're burning the place down! lol

You wouldn't believe the number of people who don't know what a coney dog is. I mean its a hot dog with coney sauce on it. Oh and the people who have never seen Faygo (except if they live out of state). So I am getting my hair high-lighted and I don't know if I should do blonde or light brown. hmmm.....so if any of you have any input, I'd love to hear it! lol and its free because its my hairdresser's gift to me for graduation. I have never touched virign hair, but I need to do something different for college. I don't want it any shorter, I'm going to grow it out more.

I leave for Mackinac Island in like two days for a week. Am I packed yet? Heavens no! lol Well we wear a uniform most of the time so really you just need clothes that you can change into. Augh I have to be in Grosse Ile at 5am! Augh!!!!! lol But now I have a cool I-pod pillow that I can bring on the bus! lol

People should visit me at the village, its gets boring when no one but old people come! lol

So I auditioned for the Spartan Marching Band which is one of the best Big Ten marching bands in Michigan. There is only 13 spots open for alto.....thats not counting the music majors who are automatically in and the people auditioning next weekend. The director only had positive things to say, but maybe thats just what he says to everyone. I mean words like 'from what you have played so far, I see that you are qualified adn able to be in the band' and 'you are doing perfectly'. But I mean he could be saying this stuff to everyone. But I guess if I don't get in, I'll at least know that I tryed and played my best and thats they're is always next year. I have wanted to be in this band since I was like four........

YAY!

I finished my Spanish project. I'm glad its done with, I could have done better but I like it. I am the queen of procrastination.



OMG Today is my last monday of high school..... holy poo......

Chic-a-go

Ha what a sweet picture! So Chicago was fun except for those girls....lol Met a kid with his nipples picered (sp?) so we called him Nips. lol

Yay Choir concert on Thursday. Playing come sail away on my clarinet...hmm i should probably go get some reeds.....lol I got this cute dress from H&M to wear! I am happy that there are now H&Ms around me (well its way out in Canton but hey) They had thousands of them in Europe.

Well at least it stopped raining! The sun has been shining for 3 days now! Finally! My Spanish final project is due tomorrow......I will be starting it later this evening....lol Hopefully it wont take too long.

Yay!

ha look what I found! lol

ha sweet.....lets see if it will let me upload another one....yes! Ha these are awesome!!!! Look what I do when I should be doing my homework? Well I was trying to find a copy of the court case of Detroit board of Ed versus Lincoln Park board of ed which my great-grandfather won for my city but I can't find it anywhere!!!! golly. I guess my family likes Michigan Supreme Court because we commissioned this picture for them:
















This is why my life is hard, I feel as though I need to live up to my family's big ol history and legacy. Just wait til I become a comedian because my family will make up like my entire act! lol

Great minds have the same fashion sense....=)

Ha me and Jamie had the same dress! and we got our hair done at the same place at the same time. Different styles though. lol So......our marching band theme for next year (even though I wont be there.) is 'I-pod Shuffle' We are going to play four random songs that might appear on someones i-pod. Because when you have it on shuffle songs play in a random order and most people have more than one kind of song on there. We were going to do a queen show but 'we are the champions' isn't in print anymore. =( poop. ok off the Girl Scout banquet that I helped to singlehandly (with 3 other girls) plan. Yes its my last girl scout function, besides mackinac but that's different.


ok catch you all on the flip side! (ha that was cheesey)

Even after all of that drama....

I had the time of my life! What a magical evening! I have more pictures but I'm too lazy to plug in the camera and my scanner just stopped working.....lol We did get lost getting there, but hey I think the funniest part was figuring out where we were! lol Everyone looked beautiful! The only hard part was that my dress was huge! I won't go into detail but imagine trying to go to the bathroom! lol
Well today I will just sit but I am not actually that tired. My hair stayed up, not one piece fell! lol
Congrats on Joelle and Jimmy on being prom prince and princess.

Now its time to graduate!!!

wtf

AHHHH! I just need to vent a little so bear with me. Ok so my friend just messaged me and this is what she said:
u know wat. if i find out that u just fucking screwed me 4 katie. the same girl who would barley talk 2 u this year and totally changed. u've been a bad friend anyways. do u wonder why we didn't do anything 4 ur b-day? how can u treat us all like that? and it's not all about prom. we all were waiting 2 tell u this & i just wanted 2 wait until after prom cuz i didn't want 2 fight while we were there, but it seems that u have set me off. thanx 4 not being a friend. u were, but then u changed. just like katie. good bye

What the heck?! I'm sorry that katie has been my best friend since kindergarten. Im not going to turn my back on her just because you don't like her. Ever since we were 7 we had our proms planned out. You know if you don't want to ever talk to me agian fine. Its not like you ever were that nice to me. Remember chemistry 3rd hour last year? Everytime I voiced an opioion I was shot down. Do you know I asked Mr. Calvin to switch my seat? Whatever. I'll move on. But I am not immature and I'll be the bigger person and not fight back or gossip about you behind your back. I'm not like that. So fine. Goodbye to you too.

a joke for you all!

Ha end of the school year and everyone (including me....so the doctor says..) is stressed out so here is a joke for some comic relief that you can then pass on to your other equally geeky band friends!

A C, an E-flat, and a G go into a bar.

The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So, the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second." An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized) says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development." This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au naturel. Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless. The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest -- and closes the bar.


So yea the doctor said that I could develop the condition where you stop breathing at night. great. But he said it will be down the road like in my 40s or 50s. My 5th hour teachers brother died of that 2 days ago. (i mean he had other health issues but still)

PROM is like 2 days away! and you better know that I will have a ton of pictures!

Yay!

My dance team! 1st place!! Once I figure out how to upload videos, I will put p my video fo the routine. Thats my next project! lol

My 100th post! lol

Well I think we need some pictures all up in here! lol I got some new ones so here we go.....


OMG I got a job at America's Greatest History Attraction! lol


Look how excited I am about our uniform......not.


You mean a kid peed and we have to clean it up?!


At least I'm 18 now and so I am going to enjoy some cake with my grandpa.


Got this cute purse for my birthday!


I have been here for like 8 hours! Welcome to a baton compeition. lol CHAOS.


Yay my favorite color! I love my poms!


Yea, I am not too excited about our costumes.....lol


Salute your shorts was like the best show EVER!


This is a random picture, but I love it! lol Probably because everyone is looking in opposite directions! lol

Ha so spring break is almost over. I should be outside painting a bridge for the girl scout banquet, but I'm not. lol Augh I have so much hairspray in my hair, its not even funny. Well maybe it is, but hey.

stay safe!

Freaked out?! Scared?! maybe...

So this one time someone got my moms credit card # and bought a laptop with it. Ok. But it gets weirder. So I guess when the UPS guy dropped it off he said something like he'll be back to pick it up. Odd. Why would he pick up a package he just dropped off? So today I found a UPS note on the door saying that they tried to pick up a package. It said it was a laptop. How would the UPS people know we wanted a package picked up? Now my mom (and now me) is freaked out and is convinced someone is going to break in and steal stuff. We think the UPS man might be a crimnal or at least in on it. eerie.....Aren't you guys lucky you have an easy life? Crap and I am not worknig tomorrow so I will be home alone. c-rap.

So I guess my old elementary school is having this big party for it being opened for 50 years. Same day as my graduation party and I sorta have to go since they are honoring my family.....piddleizzle (is that even a word?! lol) But I think its in the morning so I might be able to go. ha I saw my 5th grade teacher and the sec. at Greenville VIllage today! lol and yesterday I saw Mr. Miller, our gym teacher. Who will I see next?! lol I was going to audio this...but my phone is like 5 rooms away lol. I should really just write down the number so I can use any phone but I don't. lol

Ha memories...

I'm bert. lol

How disgusting!

O...M...G... You guys will never guess what I just read in the paper.....but first some background on this story.....

It all started last Sunday at church. We were at the part of the service where we take requests for people who need prayers. We were told that a member of our church had recently been robbed at gun point. Apparently she services ATMs and was shoved into one and duck-taped to it. The story goes that a customer found her just in time as she was losing oxygen. I was like oh my I grew up with her, shes only 3 years older than me! I felt bad for the family and such. But not any more...I was reading the local paper today adn found this article that I found to be very interesting. Let's just say the title was "ATM victim not a victim, but really a robber." She was robbing the ATM and had her husband tied her up to make it seem like she was being robbed. But it was really her and her husband who were the ones robbing the bank. shame!!! Heres a link to the article from the Free Press...http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060414/NEWS02/604140484/1004/NEWS

In other news......
Last night was the funniest Mauday Thursday EVER!...and thats sad because its supposed to be a mournful ceremony. Well I'm not sure if I can do the story justice by typing it so I might be audioing it up later on today! lol So watch for that...a little communion fun.

Yay tomorrow's my birthday!!! I'll finally be an adult.

Oh yeah and I am the Exchange Club Student of the Year. I was Student of the month in November, all of the months were eligible to go out for the Student of the Year. I was the only one to submit my essay. But it sorta stinks because all of the scholarships that I have recieved are all saving bonds. I know they will be helpful later on but like the need the money for college now...lol Thank god for my MET! lol

another awful day?! when will the sun come out?

Ok so this day totally sucked. And I didn't even know her, it just set the mood for the day.

This is how it went down...

I was excited because NHS was going on a field trip to read to kindergarteners today. As I was walking to first hour a bunch of teachers were called to teh media center. They said it was urgent. I didn't think too much of it besides that they called my first hour teacher down. Then an announcement came on for all the teachers to come down. I didn't know what to think, I mean there was only like 3 minutes until school starts. As I go to my locker I hear someone yell something like, "she shot herself". Hmm. I just kept walking. I got to my Spanish class and everyone was just standing staring at a picture. I wondered over to the picture and didn't know who it was of. I still didn't know what was going on. Finally someone whispered that this sophmore had shot herself this morning. I was shocked. I mean even though I didn't know her, it is still tragic. I'm the kind of person that gets emotional if everyone around is (which everyone was...) My teacher came back and was just a wreck. I guess the girl is in her second hour. For the entire hour we just sort of sat and was silent.

That hour felt like it took forever. Finally it was time to leave. The girl I had to read too had an attiutde and was stubborn. She kept running away! lol Now I am home and am actaully realy cold seeing how its like 69 outside! lol

I am now an official paid employee of the Henry Ford! I can get anyone in for free! and get free food! I start on Saturday which is also my birthday. I am not sure if I am going to work on Easter or not. I'm still working that out.

Well I am excited for prom too! Its weird to think that it is only like 2 weeks away! After spring break it will be here! I still need shoes....lol


Ha I can play again!!!! It still hurts a tad bit but I'm a trooper and I can rest it even more during spring break. I have actually grown pretty attached to my sax. Too bad its not mine! I've decided that I am going to save my money and buy my own. SO IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE SELLING ONE LET ME KNOW!!! Or what brands are good, I'm not up on the saxophone brands! lol

Looking for my Prince...

My Prom Dress!

Yes, I love my dress! I got my tickets and favors yesterday. Today I got my senior shirt. lol I guess they overlooked a sheet and forgot a bunch of people's names and selfish as it may sound, my name is on there and that's all I care about! lol j/k I paid 20 bucks for it, it better be right! I AM SO BORED! I have never wanted to practice this badly in my life! I think one of my stiches fell out today so hopefully by next week I will be able to play again! Especially since the only other sax player broke his arm! haha Now is my time to shine! lol He'll be casted for six weeks. evil smile......lol Well ok Spring break is rapidly approaching along with my FAVORITE holiday Easter! I'm probably the only person who would pick Easter over Christmas! lol ....and so is my 18th birthday which is the day before easter....in case you guys were wondering! lol :)

Yea my dog is the cutest! lol Shes alittle hairy in that picture but hey we all have bad hair days once in a while! lol

Man my mouth hurts! lol Swishing around salt water isn't fun either. I spent the night at Katie's last night. It was fun! lol We watched Hardball, which I hadn't seen before and it turned out to be a really good movie! lol And of course we watched mean girls! lol

I know what I'm getting my dad for Father's Day (thats a first! lol) I saw on tv today that coming out soon is a DVD set of all of Mel Brooks' movies! What a great idea! My dad and I love his movies! I think it also comes with a cd of different quotes from the movies! ha blazing saddles.....lol


I smell dinner so I think its almost ready! lol

Mini Cooper!!!

Hello all! Take goodness for the MEAPS, because everyone besides the juniors get like 6 half days in a row! lol heck yes! Well life is going good, I guess. Wisdom teeth out on Friday, I think when they tell me how long it will be until I can play again I might cry! lol I hope its not too long.

Mr. Hall's funeral was beautiful and emotional. I think the saddest part was looking over my shoulder and seeing Mr. D just bawling. But he lived a great life and will be deeply missed.

"And that......is what you call acting" RIP James Hall



Yay no 5th hour today! So my pom team took first in open and second in championship. Thats good because it is literally impossible to beat the Dazzlers. literally.

School is winding down slowly, soon spring break will be here and then prom. Senior shirts and our annoncements come in on Wednesday.

He still has stars and stripes memorized, he plays the air clarinet! lol We could play next to each other!!! lol



EXCITING! lol yea im a dork.

What a horrible day

This has been a very bad day that just kept getting worse.

First I woke up and felt just awful, my stomach hurt and my thoat was sore. I just didn't want ot get out of bed. But I had to and felt like crap all day. I get to school and Mr. Dangerfield tells me that my drama teacher Mr. Hall died last night. This is not making my day any better. Even though I only had him for one yesr back in 10th grade, he was a great and brillant teacher who will be greatly missed. Then I went to drop off my paperwork at the Henry Ford. Forgot to get my work permit signed so I have to go back tomorrow. Augh!!!! Hopefully tomorrow will be better ;(

Job!!

Yay! I am now employed at Greenfield Village at the Taste of History (resturant). I get to work with Katie! =) I was going to be one of the people who dress in the century clothes but since I am going to Mackinac for a week, they couldn't hire me......but next summer they can! Thats something exciting to look forward to in teh future! I start on my birthday, ha. What a present! lol

Tomorrow I am going to call the oral surgeon and see if he can give me a guessiment (is that a word? lol) of long it will be until I would be able to play again after my teeth are taken out. Pray its not long!


Yay! I got my dance shoes yesterday! Thats what they look like! I can't wait to use them at the compeition!

NOO!!!!!

Golly, I was talking to my band director and was telling him that I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled and that I might not be able to play for a couple of days. He said that when he got his out he couldn't play for 2-3 weeks!!!! NO!!! What am I supposed to do?! I can't go that long without playing especially since we got two awesome songs. (Bolero and Chester) GOSH!!!! That just ruined my day..... =(

They have a Mickey D's here?!

I guess Ronald can show up anywhere......

Golly March 31....don don don....I get my wisdom teeth pulled....or should I say cut out! lol Wish me luck and write me many emails since I probably won't be able to speak much...lol

I passed the MEAP!!!! lol And you thought Lincoln Park kids couldn't pass it, lol. Now I qualify for the 2,500 scholarship! ha It will probably be teh only one I get....I got my FAFSA thing back and it says I don't qualify for any finanical aide.....darn it all! lol

Getting my pictures printed off in like 20 minutes. I think its easier to scan pictures than to upload them from the camera (because a turtle is faster than my computer...) But I did put some on my picture page, so check it out! lol

Yay I got to play today! I haven't played for 2! weeks! Man I rocked out on the sax today! Alex said I could be in his jazz band lol I have never played 'jazz' but I am learning the sax at a pretty good rate, so I think I could give it a try...But I need a sax of my own......so if anyone wants to sell one or knows of someone looking to sell theirs.....let me know!!

"whats a tonsil?"...........omg my 5th hour is full of idiots......

Man, I have a rather large nose...lol Can you tell I only have one contact in? lol It fell out like the first day so I have only one contact in! lol

So yea in other great news, my wisdom teeth are growing in hortizontally....yes hortizontally. Crap. Now I have a TINY mouth(I know hard to believe), the dentist always has a hard time doing anything in mouth because its so tiny. So since I have no room for 4 new teeth, I need them out. So I guess I should get on that...lol

I came home wanting cold weather....and what do I come home to?? Its 69 degrees!!! wtf I don't need a coat. But rest assured its supposed to be 32 on Tuesday....lol

I'm going to upload my pictures soon, but not onto this because then it would take the computer like a hour to load this page so I'll do it on my picture page. That will be tonights project.

Bahamas

Right now I am in the Bahamas...nice surprise considerly I didn't know I was coming here. lol So my band got a straight 2 at festival. I know its still good but I know they could have pulled off a one. Oh well maybe next year. Yay for coming home tomorrow! Its nice to go away but now I want to see all of my friends. sunday I have a Dearborn youth symphony concert.....augh I hope I have my instrument...lol Yeaterday I had a 24 course italian dinner.....not as good as I would have liked..lol OMG I tried crab legs and lobster and its like the best thing that I have ever had! besides the nutella ice cream (which I am going to google to see what company makes it...lol) Well I am raking up quite a bill with the internet so I will post more when I get home around 4ish tomorrow.....



have a nice day!

excuse me, this was YOUR wedding?....oops

This is a picture of me crashing a wedding. I don't know the people in the background........


I do not know what I was thinking cutting my hair like that =( But its not like that anymore. Its all one length starting at the first layer. It just hits my chin.

Man I hope Northwest doens't go on strike! That could ruin everything!!!!

Two hour band tomorrow which adds up to 3 total. I could get used to that...lol Even though I don't get to play, I started a good book and that is just more time to read. I'm reading Memoirs of a Geisha. I wanted to see the movie (I have always been interested in that sorta of things...) but the book is great! I can barely put it down! Actually I read somewhere that John Williams did the soundtrack....yep just checked he did. So now I want to see the movie. I recommend it, its a great book! lol

We were playing Air for Band (most of you have more than likely heard it, i guess its pretty popular among bands...) and it made me sad that I have almost completely given up the clarinet. I mean I never had the greatest techniques, but I played with emotion and lived for songs that you could put your heart into. I had a pretty good tone but now I only play at marching band. But I guess I can pass that on to the alto. (You can't get too emotional with a beast like the contra.) Since I play such a big instrument its easy for me to get out all the low notes on the saxophone. I don't know a lot about saxes but I guess thats a good thing to be able to do.

I'm listening to the Anastasia Soundtrack. Man, I loved that movie. I only saw it once when it first came out but I remember walking out of the theather and thinking that she was really still out there. But I love the music on the soundtrack.

I LOVE this song...lol

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.
