Snow day/Musical

First off...

"Brendon, Cheri's boyfriend, came to our Socials class and just kind hung out since his school let him go." Direct quote from previous entry...
But anyways, on Wednesday I stayed home from school since I couldn't get out of my drive way... SO MUCH SNOW! It was crazy. I was up at 1 AM Wednesday and I was just watching the snow fall. I swear that it was trying to tell me something with it's dancing and way of showing people dancing under the street light. Of course the people could also have been mistaken for looking like deer... But a message was in there for me somewhere... I just couldn't figure out what it was. Anyways I finally gave up at 1:30 AM and was glad to stay home the next day. Apparently the people who were at school had a 'blast' because they could do whatever they wanted. Yeah, I kinda did that at home with a cup of hot cocca at my side and a computer in front of me. I'd rather have my day personally. But it made my week watching the snow fall/blow during the middle of the night in the dead of silence with only the occasional car passing by to disturb it.

But my musical starts Wednesday morning so you know that the first one is gonna suck, SO NO ONE SEE IT! But after that they are all pretty good. We have our first rehearsal with the actors on Monday... Gonna be interesting since people just came to their first rehearsal 4 days ago... Makes me so mad. I mean I put all this effort into coming to every practise and they just kinda show up when they want to and make everyone suffer because they don't know how to play the music and just mess everyone up... Sure their mark might be affected but I am because my standards are lowered with them around. But since I'm the only flute that can play all the songs I guess I have to go... lol If I didn't my band teacher would kill me.

And Andre if you want to know how me and my friend got from carrots to cucumbers to cookie condoms you'd actually have to understand our minds which I don't think you want to. Oh I forget to say that we also talked about Cheri's boobs. =P But that part was pretty random... Not like the cookie condoms.

And the guy I like does know I like him or at least I he did... I think he thinks I'm over it because I know act normal around him. When he first found out that I liked him I swear that if my friend hadn't told him to his face that I never would have known that he knew. The only thing different was that he kept looking at me, but I would ignore that. Then one day I decided to not ignore so that's when we started talking again and he probably stopped thinking I liked him. But I didn't. I've liked him for a year now and nothing. This is sad, usually I have moved on... I must really like him. Scary thought lol. But he apparently has a long distance relationship with a girl he hasn't seen in 2 years. They met at his cousins party... Yeah, I guess you could call me a stalker. Actually no because mutual friends tell me this stuff so.

At work tonight, I apparently don't qualify for stat pay even though I worked a stat because I didn't work enough days in December... Which is just stupid because I'm 2 days away from working enough and they should be nice to me and like give me a bonus at Christmas time. It made me so mad... Seriously I was going to quit right then and there but then I was like where else would give me all this time off that I need. I need next week off for the musical and then 10 days in March for Rome and then I can't work Wednesdays because of night band. And even though the people are cheap they are really nice(when they aren't stressed/grumpy) and they care about(in a good way, not creepy). And I love Jade who works with me. The tips I make are also pretty good. I might quit when I'm 16 though and work at Boston Pizza where the tips are so much better and it more business like not just "oh Alex please do this because I'm lazy'. But who knows what things will be like in 11 months.

Anyways I'm tired and still smell like Chinese food so I'm going to crawl into bed and lay there till the smell disappears, usually about 13 hours... haha just kidding.

Lol. I am not going to lie to you. I am almost 17 and I have never worked a day in my life. It is scary, I know. The thing is, in SA we can't have a licence to drive until we are 18. You can get a learners' licence, but then you must have a licensed driver with you, which is still quite restrictive. THE POINT is that I can't work because there is no way for me to get to work. I am so poor because of that.

Also, when we did our musical last year, I can tell you one thing: The first performance is ALWAYS the worst. I am sorry, but I never invite my friends to opening night. Sometimes opening night is just sad. Our school does 3 productions during the year. 2 One Act plays and one musical. The school gives most of its money to the one act plays, because they are entered into national competitions. The ones this year came first and second place in the national competition. Which is a first for any school, having two of your production get both first and second prize. The one who got the first prize was "Glansgod," which was basically about these Gods, and Loki, the evil God, tried to kill one of them by sending him to the underworld. It was very abstract, but VERY good. The other one had me in tears! It was called "Poplap pop" and was about a girl who is raped by her father every night. They actually show the raping. It was terribly good.

Anyway, to the point, what grade are you in in your flute?

Another point I want to make: Why don't you tell this guy in an ambiguous way that you still like him. Make him figure it out himself. If he can't, then he is stupid. Unless you were hiding it from him on purpose...

Good luck with the musical, though. Do post on how it went when you are done.
