  ok,  webshots is continuing to not work on this computer.  i dont know why either. man. w/ e.
 i dont know if i'm going to get on the laptop anytime soon though,  since my mom is always on it,  but maybe tomorrow.  haha,  but alright alright. i will blog i will blog.
 while downloading songs.  and running from the dining room trying to eat dinner.  band camp was absolutely dismal.  of course i always knew it was going to be dismal physically,  but man i didn't know it was going to be THAT dismal.  we haven't had a practice like that since UIL last year,
 and that wasn't over consecutive days!  i got to skip half of that bc of debate too. dammit.  lol.  so,  it being hte middle of a heat wave,
 he was more generous than usual with his water breaks ( one every 45 minutes on mon,  tues,  and wed,  and 1 each on thurs and fri but MAN. i didn't believe chris or robby when they said mr allen was taking the fun out of band.
 i do now.  we can't do anything fun anymore. we play stupid music,  and we march like ants.  he wont let us do " the groove"
 or " iron man"  anymore,  only " pretty fly"  .
 we tried to do that ass- rubbing thing at the pep rally ( when the gym was EMPTY after it was ove)  and he came over and like threatened to kick us out of band.  OMG.  all he cares about now is practice,
 practice,  and getting 1s at UIL.  dude. we're just not the school destined to practice a lot and get one's.  we go to freaking bellaire where half of us have really important things that we have to do BESIDES band.  i'm quoting him "
you have to LIVE,  EAT,  and BREATHE BAND ALL THE TIME!  : O well,  i still need my PE credits,
 and i still need something for college apps and i'm still scared of PE so i'll stick it out for two more years.  ugh. though.  i'm going to shut up now since i dont like whiners who dont take advice.  speaking of which. josh thinks i/
we( the band)  are too obsessed with impressing people.  hmm. i argued for a little bit,  and then i realized there was a lot of truth in that comment.
but then again,  isn't everything i DO just because i want to impress people?  i'm sure you are too. it's. what the hemann twins do.  haha.
and then again,  i'm sure academic challenge also has a lot of practical use.  * wink*  lol. w/
e.  so,  eleanor's phone is no more,  and now i'm deprived.  on wednesday night,  she came to my house,
 and then when she was informed i wasn't there,  she was waiting outside for me for like an hour ( i didn't come home till like 10. 30)  and then we just walked aruond and talked for another 45 minutes,  when i came home to the lecture of a lifetime from my parents.
 so,  what happened was this:  josh was coming to pick me up from band practice,  and i told my dad that i would call if and when i needed him to pick me up,  but he decied to come anyway. so i told my dad "
i'm having dinner with some band peeps,  really they're leaving already,  i'll be home in half anh our"  i thought i could get away with it though cuz would he really have expected me to eat dinner and come home in half an hour?  lol. so we went out to eat and stuff.
and of course i got home late,  and they were all " what the crap,  u said dadada.  apparently my dad thought when i said " they"
 i meant the ppl who were going to deliver the food to the band room ( riiiiight)  so he went back to school in half an hour and bada bing,  i wasnt there.  they were pissed.  for once i thought i wouldn't fight it,
 be " responsible"  and fess up to my " wrondoings"  and they were slightly less pissed,  considering they had banned me from going to even band camp two minutes before.
 so it was allll goood.  oh right,  so now i can't talk to eleanor on the phone,  and that sucks.  i'm too lazy to walk over to her house,  plus ive barely been home.
 she didn't come to UH today because she was babysitting,  and omg she left a bunch of cards in my locker and i didn't get to get them because the school had been locked down by the time i got out of band practice.  i went there this morning,  but it was closed.  WTF!  i thought bellaire opened ealry and closed late.
well,  w/ e.  rach was sort of really pissed off,  because i had printe dout a really nice table of contents and stuff,  and like 100 pgs of blank papers with the "
BEllaire NEG. Coral Reefs. Team HZ.  /  )  header on them.
he picke dup the stack,  looked really happy,  then flipped thru the blank pages and five minutes later we had a meetings where three things happened,  all with him basically disgruntled.  at least rach is nice when he's being serious.  bu ti feel bad cuz the rest of them were sort of pissed at him.
 he laid down these " rules for bellaire debate"  earlier. and they were basically rules that josh and justin and avinash would like,  but since the rest of us weren't brought up that way ( haha "
rbought up"  we thought they were a bit unreasonable.  1)  no K's.  ( ok,
 i can deal with that.  : D)  2)  only one T a round,  and only when it is the only argument.
 ( 8 minutes of T,  WHAT?  3)  no discoursive wins.  (
meaning no generics,  and no theory debates. i hate theory,  but i will miss my generics. sniff*  so anyway,
 we went over what affs the other schools were running,  what was the progress of research assignmetns ( man he is pissed off.  and what the partners for the team will be.  ugh. man.
 i feel so horrible because nobody was really taking it seriously. they took his list of rules and sort of played around with it. jon earl the ass did. and omg. nobody is turning in their assignments.  i know i can't talk but at least i show up to meetings and am working on it.
dude,  this year is going to suck. and the only thing that is going to make it kewl are the people. i love debating with eleanor,  and the ppl in debate are mostly just kewl.  ps,
 matt and muthu didm't get kicked outa debate.  they just got ehir evidence burned up.  :  plus i love seeing those ppl on the circuit like shane and nick,  kirby and kirti,  summer,
 and all the old favorites.  what's with the shunning of davids?  nobody wants to debate with reinitz,  and nobody wants to talk to heaton. geez. and i both think they are AWESOME people.
 hmm.  ugh. the tyranny continues.  i finally got " dazed and confused"  downloaded,
 and i was playing it,  and my dad is all " turn that off,  it's horrible"  begeezus.  rolls eyes up the schizza.
and this morning we had the usual radio wars,  with him disagreeing over freaking BIG YELLOW TAXI!  dude,  i was listening to 96. 5 which i thought would apease his weird conservative music tastes but no. i ended up lsitening to my cd player on headphones.
 my eyes are falling out of my head from the rolling!  i dunno. they are just not being cool at all.  ugh. i can't wait till school starts again,  when i can confine myself to my room (
oh right,  i need to clean it)  with my books and music and tv and bed and just work like an idiot,  come out only to eat and use the bathroom,  or otherwise be at a debate,  band,
 AC,  or friends function.  AHHHH. i'm about to bust.  ok,  i think the school spirit has started.
 i wonder if this is what josh means by getting burned out.  nah. oh well.  i think the worst is yet to come,  but at least i'm good about getting up in the mornings now.  haha.
i now it's like wait until u start puling all nighters an then trying to power nap again.  no pills this year,  i promise.  no cheating either.  : D man this really sucks.
 i'm sort of stuck in a dead end.  no world history book,  no debate files. no homework that i feel like doing.  can't even practice clarinet cuz my parents dont let me at night.  (
more tyranny,  but that i dont mind so much)  we had fish for dinner tonight.  why am i the debate bitch?  jane
