You are 37% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend. You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines! Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals! You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Band camp was great. I consider it to be the best so far. (Heather, I'll adress your issues with it specifically at the end, as I can see you reacting to that statement right now.... -_- )

To start, there were the new freshman. Lemme tell you, they are much better than last year's. Maybe 'cause I'm not stuck with the 'Miahs and Murphys of this year (many of which, BTW, are gone this year. w00t!), because the Cabin 4-ians were muchly... misguided, and nobody likes Brennan, but the fresshies by me on the field this year are cool. Megan (who, like som many Megans in this band, is short) not only was not annoying, but she picked up on marching and all that fast. Ethan needs a little work, but he admits when he's wrong, unlike Murphy, and he tries to fix it. He just needs to learn the right way to go about doing that. (Read: guide off of those he can see, not look around and stop in place due to the looking)

Plus, I'm actually making freinds with the freshmen this year, and already know most of their names. (If I don't, it's because I only heard the name once or twice... or not at all) Heather's little sister & her freinds are muchly fun to be around, and I'm sure Heather would agree about Liz if she weren't her sister.

Of course there are some bad things, like the general suckiness of the dances and JR (More on him later), but I felt that the good more than balanced that out. Plus, I have "asponsability". I'm a.... well, we used to be called squad leaders, but they got rid of squads this year... so... I'm one of the people who get to carry around drill sheets and tell people where to go.

Oh, and the show and music this year kick ass. Saxes have been moved from the back left to front right, and we have interesting moves for a change. This year I'm in three meshes, and start meshed w/ the flutes in the first form. I wasn't in a mesh ever before. And I'm not in a single diagonal the whole show. And the woodwinds are either key to the form or highly visible, so we won't be ignored when we make mistakes! Woo!

Of course, the drill is harder than in years past, but thanks to the new system of doing things, it's muchly possible.

And now, Heather, I disagree with you.

For all of you not in the band, our directors hired a guy to write the drill for the first time in ever. Our directors used to write the drill themselves, and (rightfully) took pride in that fact, especially because we repeatedly got ones at state. But after last year, they're heavily overcompensating. The music, the drill, the new system of placing... But the thing is, they've been doing everything for the past twenty-something years. They need a break. So, when they have choices for who they could have write the drill, they pick the only guy who is going to come to out camp and help us learn the drill. The guy who uses a system the directors once tried, but couldn't execute well because they weren't sure how to pull it off. A guy who seems to work on the same wavelength of the directors, and who is willing to use their input.

Now, sure, things are different. Sure, JR is a bit of an ass when he's working. But he has to be, because otherwise, we'll completely ignore him( and he isn't when he isn't working. And no, I'm not just saying that because he said it. It's true). Sure, his block is annoying, and I think I might snap if I hear him say "and one" again, ever. But if you look at where we are after that one week of camp, compared to the last couple years (even at the end of last year...), it's totally worth it.

I don't think that K&O "sold out", because they did all they could to preserve what the could of the "old band" while improving our marching (which was, as anyone involved with our band knows, the marching. The drill included.). They could've paid less to get just a drill, and teach us marching and the drill themselves, but they paid for the guy who would come and teach us his drill and the proper marching form (as opposed to generics, which is all we really got from K&O), and improve our band beyond what K&O could do themselves. Selling out would be buying just the drill and leaving our marching as sucky as it was before.

Plus, I like the new coordinate system. Forms are bloced faster, you know all yous spots yourself, and can check where you're going during the short "on field breaks" you get when they're working on another part of the form. And looking at the coordinates, you can always tell which way you'll be going beforehand. ANd it dies help with the "thinking ahead to the next phrase", because you start doing it whether you want to or not due to the guy, and you know where you're gonna go, and it makes marching the drilll so much easier than the "okay, I'm here at this form, where's the next?" thought process I used in the past. When you know where you're going psartway through a move, and can see it, then you have time to think ahead. I never thought of that until JC told us to do it, and it makes the drill a drill, not a series of almost disconnected moves, and... Well, I guess I'm just trying to say that I have my reasons for liking the new way things are going, and I don't see why you're so averse to it.

BAck from band camp. HAve to be at school for the first football game in less than an hour. Most un-w00t.

Band camp. Tomorrow. I figured I wouldn't say anyting because we went through the drill last year.

5: What was the last thing you ate? Toaster waffles. There's never any good food in this house...

6: When was the last time you cried? I dunno. I was sorta forced into apathy by the asses at my school a while ago.

7: If carrots are so good for your eyes, how come I see so many dead rabbits along the highway? Because you eat carrots. And now you can see something as small as a rabbit on the side of the highway whilst moving at high speeds on it. Duh.

8: What was the last thing you bought? I dunno... It's been a while since I had moneys.
Probably the last Esca tape.

9: What comes before my shoe? The rest of you, if you're falling headlong into a ravine. Otherwise, your sock.

10: What song would you call your theme song? Think of the most atonal, fractured song you can that still sounds good. My theme song is "Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity" from "The Planets" by Holst. No, the first and second sentences arent' related in any way, why?

11: Who is your favorite singer in the world? Well, if a singer uses TRL as a vehicle for the death of Carson Daly, they will be my new god. Until then, me. 'Cause I sing. And I like me. Sometimes.

12: Where do you want to go more than anywhere else in the world? Not here. Preferrably a not here in English-speaking Europe.

13: What is your family doing right now?
Dad & elder brother are worjking. Mother & 'lil brother are in the kitchen, being ignored by me, one room over. I, obviously, am on the computer.

14: Why are you writing it down? I'm not writing. I'm typing.

15: How many sheeps does it take to make a llama? Three more than the neccisary number of monkeys to make a cow. And there's no such thing as "sheeps".

16: Say you're on a ship. This ship is sailing along but suddenly is hit by a stray torpedo. The boat is sinking and you have to escape on one of the life boats fast. From the looks of it, there won't be many rescuers for awhile and you'll be stuck on an island not too far from the wreck. If you can only grab one thing and one thing ONLY, what would you take with you? The nearest bouyant object, because there's no way in hell that I'm sitting in a tiny little life boat with other people.

17: So, you get to the island to actually find out that it's not deserted - it's really a private island owned by Gackt, rock star extraordinaire! He offers you to either stay on his island with him for the rest of your life or he can call in some rescue ships and have them wisk you away back to your home. What do you choose to do? Puch Gackt, steal money. Maybe some of the wardrobe. Call for help.

18: So, you being the major fan you are, stay with Gackt (or due to the lack of phone lines around, you're forced to) to live your life with him. You agree to become his little French maid for him for no pay because you're either really desperate to get on his good side for the food or just that much of an obsessed fan. You go to make him lunch, and you want it to be extra special, so you do what? French butler. And I make the meal, eat it all myself, and tell him to cook his own damn food. The look on his face is sure to be "extra special".

19: But suddenly, in the distance, after many months of living with Gackt and either really enjoying it or being tormented by the sight of him, find that it's not really Gackt - it's Kyo from Dir en Grey! What do you do? Punch him again for lying, then steal more money.

20: What do you think of the taste of envelopes? I'm thowy, waf? I ca tas aing 's I lit too man enelo.

21: How many socks do I have? Fewer, now.

22: Which is better, Deep Impact or the Matrix? Clue.

24: What are you doing right now? Making clickey-clickey with the keys.

25: What was your favorite cartoon as a kid? Ninja Turtles.

26: Make a fist. Do you feel manly now? No, I feel like a moron 'cause I'm sitting in fromt of the computer, trying to type with one hand fist-ified.

27: What color is my underwear? You don't know? Poor thing...

28: Malice Mizer or Pierrot? Wadsworth.

37: What movie can, without fail, always make you cry? Crossroads. I dont' even have to see it. The concept of Britney Spears acting is enough to make Satan himself cry. Which is really hard to do when he's partly responsible...

38: Where are your hands right now? Attached to my arms.

39: How much money do you have right now? Five million nothings.

40: Do you want a giraffe? Only if it's an elephant.
