FYI: This will be the last journal I put up as RenegadeChild. I am going to try and retain my old account. I'll still keep this one up, since I can't seem to delete it, but don't expect much. This is just a backup...sad as that might be.

Looking at colleges
1 min read
I have looked at three colleges so far. I have decided that I don't like one as much as I like the other two...which are smaller, private colleges. I liked Gustavus Adolphus...I got almost royal treatment because both grandma and grandpa graduated from there. It was nice. The other one was a little smaller...more like a high school where you live instead of going home every day.
I have been talking with my D&D freak friends. I like having a bunch of crazy weirdos to act like me with me...you missed it. We were hyper, and Charlie put in Flogging Molly. Steve started dancing, and then we all got into it. We were a quartet of insane people in the middle of our D&D campaign...dancing wildly to Flogging Molly. Oh yeah. We're nuts.
I have no more words for you all. Luvs to you.

So now what...?

Okay, what to say...I guess I shoud update everybody on what's going on in Utah. Nothing much. I've recently gotten obsessed with a few things, and some of them don't have anything to do with anime, Jen!!! It's a miracle.
My pseudo-twin is moving to Virginia just after my birthday.
I'm so upset about it, too! He's fun...and helps me torment Evan whenever he's around. Also, Colleen's moving to Virginia, too...so at least she and Core will be able to hang out. Ania's switching schools, and so is Cameron...WHY IS EVERYBODY LEAVING?!?!?!?!?!?!?! So annoying...
I made it into advanced theatre next year. I'm happy about that, and I'll still have the class with Casey and Steve...Steve I mind. Casey not so much. At least Casey isn't forever teasing me and Cameron about that scene that we had to do...
There was hugging involved, but just hugging! I hug everybody, and Steve went and made it weird...
There's this girl who will come up behind you, put her hand on your ass and say, "Don't make it weird." It's funny. I probably would make it weird, but I could do a good job of pretending that it wasn't weird. I also have a new quote for all you theatre peoples out there: "We're not weird; we're actors." Hee hee hee!!
I've recently gotten involved with the old-school dungeons and dragons, and the rule for things is 1) if the Dungeon Master (DM) allows it, it can happen. 2) if you can describe it, it can happen...otherwise we're winging it. It's so much fun, because there's this deck of cards called, 'The deck of many things' which has different events depending on what card you pick. There's one where it gives you an awesome magical item, and one where it takes all items you own...there's also instant death, lose all real property (and that may or may not include the clothing you currently wear) and there's all sorts of character quirks you can put in. It's so much fun, and it makes me laugh!!! My friend Steve (different Steve than before), aka 'the behemoth' because he stands at about 6'5" is trying to teach me how to play correctly. It's easy once you get the hang of it.
I've also found another author that I absoloutely love: R.A. Salvatore, and if you haven't read his books, you need to!! My favorite character is Jarlaxle, the obnoxious, flambouyant, and downright hilarious dark elf...and normally, dark elves aren't those three (four?) adjectives. He's a lot of fun, but I don't have time to explain him fully right now.
I ran for Band VP, and yes there is a presidency for the band. I didn't win, and I had no shot from the beginning because I was running against a very popular trombonist. My movie was better than his, though...:grumble:
That's the update in my life. I don't think there's anything else, and if there is, I'll put it in later.
Luvs on you all!

All right, since I haven't been able to get on and DO anything in FOREVER AND A DECADE, I thought maybe I should update my account and let everybody know what's been going on in my pathetic excuse for a life (I have none, by the way).
Since I am a total band geek (first chair horn!
) and we just got back from tour, I am rather tired. The bus ride from Draper/Sandy to Annaheim was a little over 16 hours. The first one was NOT comfortable, since I was sick (After we got back, everyone else was sick...my fault? 
) and coughing up a lung every two minutes or so. Clarinet, and his real name is Kyle, was so freakin' worried that I thought he would start asking if I wanted him to get me anything...which he didn't. Oh well.
Before the bus had even left the school, Clarinet and I got roped into something by one of the twins (Doug). He started our 'band romance' that ended two seconds after it began.
AIEEEE!!!!! Anyway, the scavenger hunt for the band (they do one every tour) was full of things that are nutty, stupid, and absolutely pointless. One was "Ride 'Mr. Toad's Wild Ride' commando"...and I'm thinking, no way in HELL, twins...but all the low brass did it. That doesn't surprise me, though...it is the low brass, after all.
Some of the other items were 'Find something whiter than Carson's chest', (ours turned out to be Alex's chest), 'Steal a bar of soap from someone else's room' (not done, but I had an opportunity), 'Rub Mr. Mattingly's (band director) belly with his consent' (I don't think ANYBODY got that one), 'Obtain ice from Mr. Mattingly's room' (again, no go...), 'acquire one strand of Jared's (band president, and seriously HOT!) hair (I didn't get one, but someone else did), 'get a duck-shaped sunburn' and so on...and you should see some of the crap that everyone did. It was SAD! The only really stupid thing I did was play bloody knuckles with Kyle for ten straight minutes, and yes it was for points. I don't know who won, yet, but I'm sure we'll soon find out.
My band placed second in the contest. Some blood-and-guts band beat us. Now the choir can shut the hell up about how they're the ones pulling the music department through...they got fifth and sixth in THEIR categories. The orchestra kinda fell over and died. I feel bad for them...but I was sick that day and none of the winds knew their parts with the strings. That's why they died. Oh well...poor peoples.
Next came Disneyland. Yayness!! And I hung around with Charlie (his real name's Zac, but I couldn't remember that and named him Charlie), Steve (tallest thing in America), Enfiniti (nickname for Brittany), and Alex...oh, and Ashton, but he was just kinda...there. Charlie hates rollercoasters since he's a serious control-freak and doesn't like that he can't control the coaster. We got him to go on Space Mountain and the California Screamin' (5x in a row...I'm never doing it again) and that was about it. He wouldn't even go on the Matterhorn...and on that ride, since it was so damn old and bumpy, I swore like a drunken sailor all the way down. On space mountain, they deleted Enfiniti and my picture because we were fake-choking each other...I guess they don't like that sort of thing.
After thirteen hours of being in one amusement park, going on Indiana Jones three times and collapsing outside some little bakery thing, we were all ready to go home. So naturally, when the bus came to take us back to Utah, we were all dead. Instantly. Eight hours and three McDonald's breakfasts later, my friends and I were alive again. That bus ride was rather pleasant because I wasn't sick and I slept for half the time. Then, the low brass turned 'Beauty and the Beast' into a drinking game. Every time the movie said 'Belle' they would take a shot of Mt. Dew, and some of them had to pee so bad... And when we got back, the very INSTANT that we got back, Mr. Mattingly made the band have rehearsal. SLAVE DRIVER!!!!!
Otherwise, the trip was fun. Then, four days later, I got in a car AGAIN and drove 24 hours to Minnesota, and let me tell you, Mr. Mattingly was NOT happy that I was going to miss the concert. Since I'm the only french horn who's been playing for over two years and really the only one who can actually play the stupid part, he's losing me and he's NOT happy about it. He almost didn't sign my release form thingy. Yeah...not a good day. My Okaa-san called him and they got in a huge fight. In a battle between my mother and my band teacher...personally, I'm going with Mom because when she wants to be (and I inherited this) she can be a real bitch. No offense, Okaa-san...
But yeah...now I'm in Minnesota and the proud new owner of a Dell laptop computer! Thank you, Grandpa!
Now I can wave it in my brother's face and watch him turn green! Yee haw!
I'd add all my friends, but I'm too lazy. Sorry, but you all know you're my friends, anyway.
on you all!

Okay. I've been reading someone's (no name shall be mentioned, but you know who you are) old journals that I haven't been able to read until now. I'm really distressed as to some of the comments made about the girlfriend that hurt him. I'm SORRY, okay? I'm not TRYING to make him hurt. I'm trying my best to get online as much as I can and talk with him. I'm not trying to make him miserable and I'm sorry that I'm a bad girlfriend. I'm not trying to be immature or hurt people by not seeming hurt by what happened, but when insults fly and shit hits the fan every day, you tend to grow used to it and most everything else seems merely a pinprick. To that extent I am a hard-hearted, cast-iron bitch, and I'm sorry if I seem that way. I'm not TRYING to make anybody hurt by making them wait for an answer or a reply. I'm sorry that I can't get online as much as I would like to, and I'm sorry that I'm not fast enough for all of you. I'm sorry that I act like a 'bitchslut' and all that jazz, but it's not as if I do it on purpose. If I could convince you that I don't hurt people I used to love (in a romantic sense) by doing crap like that, I would, but I know from experience it doesn't work like that. Sorry that I've caused so much fucking trouble and I'm sorry that I'm a bad girlfriend. I'm not MEANING to cause pain, dammit!
So please, do me a favor and stop talking shit about me behind my back. If you're going to insult me, do it to my face, dammit! If you have something to say, say it! PLEASE!
