Basketball game tomorrow. :)

The boys are in the playoffs, and my band director informed us today that there is a game tomorrow an hour away, and that we are going. Then he asked how many people for sure wouldn't be able to go, and like 75% of the band (the upperclassman band...not the freshmen) raised their hands. I didn't because I'm not doing anything else tomorrow afternoon, oh and also, band is pretty much my FIRST PRIORITY. I was disappointed by how few people were coming... but I'm pretty sure more people will actually come than the amount that said they would.

I can't really think right now because the Olympics are on... I would take the laptop into my room but something's wrong with the internet, so it has to be plugged into the little thingy that allows us to have internet, which is by the computer in the living room. I wish my mom and sister would turn the TV off. Not that the Olympics aren't cool but I feel like writing now, and I've been planning on it ever since I got home...

Anyway, we're getting back from the game at around 3:45, and then I'm hanging out with my friend Natalie, and then later I might see a movie with some band people. Well, actually so far it's just me and Bailey (Bailey and me...whatever) but we're probably going to get some more people. I want to either see When in Rome or Sherlock Holmes... uhh, for the third time. Hey, it is THAT good. I love that movie sooooo much... the first time I saw it was when I went to an honor band in Tacoma with Emma, and my dad came down the night before the concert and took us to see it. I think what I liked most about it was the intricate detail in the plot... I like movies that actually make you use your brain. I didn't understand a lot of it, and I still don't understand a few parts of it after seeing it a second time (on my birthday), but that makes me appreciate it even more... SO much thought must have went into coming up with the storyline, but I still understood enough of the details for it to make sense. Plus, it was hilarious and had a good soundtrack. SUCH a good movie.

STUPID TV! Grrrr. "Right after this race we're going to bed." They better. All I want is a few minutes of silence so I can write! Is that too much to ask?

I love Emma too. She is a sophomore, a year younger than me, and she plays the tuba. Emma understands a part of me that almost NO one else does... the I AM AN INTENSE MUSIC GEEK part. I've known her since elementary school, and our parents know each other, but we didn't really become closer until the honor band thing. Her mom was going to pick us up at around 5 after play practice and drive us down to Tacoma, but it turned out she had to go to Emma's brother's basketball game. So me and Emma (Emma and I...)waited in the band room together. I found one of our band director's scores, and brought it over to the piano and started trying to pick out parts and put them together. I had to transpose some of the parts... it was FUN. Emma had gone to the bathroom and she came back and saw what I was doing, and she came over and we started figuring things out together. We turned to this AWESOME part, and I figured out the flute and clarinet parts, and she figured out the lower voices, and then we put them together and it was SO COOL! We played it over and over and we had it stuck in our heads all weekend. While we were there, there was a 2 hour period before our concert where we could pretty much do anything, so we went into one of the practice rooms with a (REALLY NICE) piano and just played for the whole time. We composed part of a song, and we also recorded ourselves playing the song from band on her phone. And she was JUST as excited about it as I was!! My friends all know that I'm like this, but Emma UNDERSTANDS.

I better go to bed, I have to get up at like 7 tomorrow for the game. Ugh. Well, I'm gonna be with band people all day so I guess it's worth it. :)
