*snoorrrrrrrrrrrrre*

Oh my goodness am I tried today. I guess that's what happens when you wake up at 600 to walk to Walmart with Melissa and Chelsea so Melissa can get the new Skillet CD (which they didn't have!!! grrrr). 2.5 miles each way. And I was wearing flip flops (I can't stand closed shoes unless it's freezing). And bought quite a bit (I was almost out of food....) It was interesting, to say the least. :D As we were leaving campus, we saw a bunch of drunk guys making their way back to their dorms, literally on all fours! heehee.
only 18 days until ISU, and I cannot WAIT!!! It'll be so much fun...
Though I have realized something...I've been listening to previous field shows quite a bit, which has always been a mood booster...but as of the last couple of days, they've been making me realize how much I really miss marching. I don't miss the practice, nor do I miss the parades and lesser field shows that occur in September/early October that much, nor do I miss the football games a lot... I miss ISU. Don't get me wrong, I will be MORE than happy to see MK perform, I've just realized that in all of the exitement will be a slight amount of sadness. I will be at ISU for the fourth competition in a row, but this time I will be in the stands...I will be one of the many cheering fans who makes the show what it is. My former band buddies will be on the field, experiencing the best performance of a lifetime...and I won't be marching with them. They will be getting "it" (for those of you who aren't in MK, the most wonderful feeling of all time. Literally a music high 100 times greater than you can imagine, the single happiest moments of my life occurred on the field of ISU when we hit an amazing part in the field show...the music loud enough to give you chills, and you can see the crowd cheering but can't hear them because of the music...words don't give it justice. It's amazing enough to make me cry, and I hardly cry at anything.) Anyway, they will get the band feeling...and I never will again. :( I thought this had all sunk in last year, but it still is a little bit. It's not until you see your band performing from the sidelines that you realize you're not a part of it anymore.
Well, that was a lot less cheery of a post than I intended. I'm in a really good mood, I promise... :)
Goodness, the weather was toasty today. I miss my ac...though it could be a lot worse...still. It's pretty warm for October! :P
*oh!!!* The single BEST thing on the face of the planet happened on All My Children today...Madden's murderer was revealed! It wasn't Zach, Dixie, JR, Jamie....it was TAD!! The one who claimed he had spotted Zach and Dixie murdering Madden and was the main cause of the trial actually becoming a trial and charges not being dropped was the murderer!!! AND Tad and Dixie will end up forgiving each other and going back to being Tad and Dixie like they were before the whole car crash/fake death/accidentally adopted now missing child incindents!!! YESSSS!!!!!!!! :D Pine Valley is rejoicing today!!!!
