Get this folks- the TJHS Raiders won 52 to 7 against Kentridge tonight. Most of the band joked about the scoreboard going haywire, since we've never scored that high in the past 4 years at least. And surely not at Homecoming. Sure, it poured down rain and the band didn't do our halftime show (aww :'() I am actually sick of our fight song now...

BUT we won, which is both amazing and wonderful. The football team was utterly delighted, seeing as most of them went in with pessimistic views. Half the band lost their voices, (whose DA page says he's still 14... wtf?) might have lost his hearing thanks to multiple screaming girls around him (haha, Joseph, haha), me included.

RAIDER POWER!

Mmmkae, so in my English class we have this semi-productive independent reading thing and I am reading Alice in Wonderland. I get to math and I think what fairytale-like stories best fit my friends? And I realized that my friend, one of the laziest people I know evur, would so fit for Alice in Wonderland, since Alice was asleep for the story. And I shared this idea with and , and the latter drew the Mad Hatter's tea party, which is aweshum. She hasn't posted it yet tho... sigh. But Mana likes the idea, and its her who the idea is for.

w00t, the Homecoming football game is on Friday. And we're playing a team that hasn't won a game yet either, so we have high hopes. The band does, anyway.

Then again, if we freeze none of us will be very happy anyway. Its supposed to be REALLY cold here on friday. So I haveta buy some warm gloves that wont's snag on my flute. Which I also must decorate for the event. School colors are Red and gold, symbol is the Raiders. no idea what I'm going to do.

if you have an idea, feel free to suggest something!

Our football team phails. Apparently so does the band. This does not surprise me one bit.

We lost, 14 to 55. I'm not quite sure what to make of this. On the upside, we scored another touchdown (whut!??!) on the downside... we lost even more epickly than last time.

then again, who am I to talk, I don't even know how to play football so I should just stfu. I just cheer with the band. We deafen people around us with our noise and people plug their ears when they walk past us and wince. Even we do it to each other.

On a more comical note, my Japanese teacher called my friend, emo, just in many more words. Because Huang sensei is cool like that. She complimented Mana's intellect and stuff, but still called her emoz. Bahahaha. Poor mana. me and just kinda laughed at her. As mana put it, "its kinda sad when even your teacher who rarely pays attention to her class calls you emo...."

Yes, Mana, it is. lol.

I may or may not be posting pictures I actually drew involving the Final Fantasy VI characters, only two of the pictures I like- Cloud and Yuffie. I'm kinda saddened by the fact that Reeve Tuesti kinda looks like Zorro with how hes drawn. Lol I lose.
In the picture so far, is Tifa, Yuffie, Zack, Sephiroth, Cloud, a Chocobo, Vincent, Reeve, Aerith, Reno, Rude, the powerpuff girls Yazoo, Kadaj, Loz, and Tseng.

And I also really want to do that Manself meme. Just because it'd be funfulls.

be amazed that I actually drew a chocobo XD I have the hardest time with drawing animals. Also, you can see my friend Dustin added stuff on there too. Hmm... jeeze I haven't posted much in um... forever?

If I ever try to draw CG Vinny... someone needs to slap me so I don't. TT_TT I shoulda done it on the computer, the coloring, because now it phails because my colored pencils are fail... but then again Crayola is amazing... I just don;t have Prisma colors... laaaaame.

BUT the picture could be worse.... like he could look like Sasuke. but even without the label people know it is Vinny so that makes me happy. I should better it on the compy or something. The headbband looks spectacular, but other than that... I think it sucks. TT_TT

And I started Dirge of Cerberus. I keep fangirling over Reeve Tuesti every time he comes up. I adore Reeve, he's my favorite. Then everyone else is in second. Except Hojo and Lucretia. I dislike them both, Hojo more than anythin. He's so.... friggin' creepy.... I'm supposed to be playing as Cait Sith now, being all shneaky like. Like a ninja or a spy.

*snorts* I'm as graceful as Cait Sith is reliable, and I'm overly paranoid in games about getting caught. I could never be a ninja. Then again, Yuffie isn't exactly graceful nor quiet and she's a ninja...

OH OH OH and for my birthday, I got a Kadaj (Final Fantasy VII Advent Children) cell phone charm. I love it to death omg. I don;t know who I like most out of the trio, but Kadaj is seen more so... whatever. I wanna go back to the place I got it (Sweet Kitty), because they have a Reno action figure and I kinda wanted it. Reno cracks me up. Funnily enough, he looks all lonely without Rude (for there is no Rude figurine) since they're ALWAYS together. Its like seeing one of the Three Stooges all alone. Poor Reno. There was a disturbing lack of Reeve, too, there's one poster with him in the background, and I saw one that made me think of Amanda, because it has Sephiroth and Vincent on it. Then there was a wall scroll that had her cell phone's background pic on it (I remember Genesis and I think Zack or Angeal, whom I tend to get mixed up [how...?], Cloud, and I don't know who else was on it. Only evidence of Genesis. Laaame. Speaking of which, they had so many Gackt CDs, but I already have almost all of the songs... Sigh.

lets see.... They had a figurine of Cloud and Fenrir (which was AWESOME and $42....), cell phone charms/key chains of Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo (whom I call Kazoo in my mind when I head his name), a jubilee of posters for VII and X/X-2, all of which I wanted except a few of X and X-2. My next goal in life is to get/make a cell phone cover for my phone because Kadaj doesn't look right with my red/black/silver Samsung phone. Meh. I have decent sewing skills, I'll see what I can do for Celly and Kadaj. Must think of what to do. Maybe I can find a better cover or something... one that isn't boring beyond all reason like this girl's cover, which is just plain black leather. >3<

I'm extra talkative when sick/sleep deprived. Or both.

Why is my phone so lame..? Sigh. People at school has the LG Neons, which I think are really cute. God this is a long journal thing....

Anyway, moral of the story- drawing CG Vincent sucks, sticking to anime-style or Nomura-style Vinny. Or making everything on my computer. Which is far easier until I have to take down over 1000 pictures >.< which was a total pain to do. Raaaaah.....

ON a brighter note.... there is a school football game this Thursday, meaning more time to get sugar high beyond all reason, scream until my lungs explode/my throat bleeds/I lose my voice, be peppy and cheerful, not drop my flute/get it stepped on (which I have no idea how Mr. Lewis managed to do it...), and remember where I march to, since it got moved last Wednesday to the back of the formation, rather than the lower part of the T in TJ (our school initials.... I'm amazed it didn't look like... idk, a giraffe last game. Or, like Mr. Lewis predicted, a Pi symbol). It takes an ADHD teacher with three cups of coffee or more to entertain about 100 sugar high, highly caffeinated and hyper teenagers with shiny, expensive, and potentially lethal objects. Out on the field, we somehow look like we know what we're doing. In the stands, we're the loud, obnoxious, ADD Band Blob. Its apparently supposed to be a block, but its more of a blob than anything else. And I still can't hit the proper high notes past high C natural, because after that the all look the same when I go over them while playing. At least I finally god E and D down right... sigh....

If you, like me, are a Raider.... COME AND SEE THE BAND! ... oh and the team I guess... Defense is good though, from what I've seen/heard, but then again I know about as much about football as a bottle of glue does so... But I do know that we, the Band, are some ass-kicking ninjas with SKILLZ, and we deserve tons of support for our awesomeness.



~Black Rose Band Kitsune~

Guys, I love band. Seriously. Best class ever. Our director is a hyperactive short guy who thrives on coffee and sugar. And hes ADHD, throws drumsticks, has the attention span of a taco, and talks fast. he also should not give up his day job to sing opera. There is a reason he's a band director and not a choir director.

he's decided that the advanced members (aka Wind Ensemble) are going to actually sing one of their songs at our first concert (i.e. "ta" "la" and "da"), and myself and our tenor player, Katlin, have decided that the choir will be cringing in pain, because, once again, we're all not in choir for a reason. My band class sounds.... dead when we "sing". Few of us have good voices, and most of them don't "sing".

Mr. L knows we luv him, even if we do often make fun of his spelling, handwriting (only the orchestra director has worse handwriting that I've seen. And my dad), height, and coffee addiction. Often, when pranks are pulled, the latter two go hand in hand. Like when we (or so I hear), stuck his coffee cup out of his reach. Evidently, he stood on a desk/chair to get it back. We've also hid it in a cupboard. And once a stray football hit it and made it spill all over the people in front of him.

We are so mean to him XD But everyone loves Mr. Lewis, he's cool. So's the Japanese teacher. She's short too. Both of them can handle large quantities of chaos and mayhem in the form of their students. Especially Mr. Lewis, since he can handle every single one of us band kids packed into the band room, making tons of noise. Wreaking havoc wherever we go. i think we might shake dust from the ceiling every now and then...

Anyway... I'm gonna be 17 on Saturday! Yeah! so I don't exactly get what I wanted for my birthday, which was to spend time with someone I really, really like, but it's all good. :3 I get to be with my other friends, two of whom I rarely to never see. And none of whom are in band with me... well thats lame. Ah well.

Woooow. In my game, currently, most of my characters are at level 40, because I let them train while I do my hw and I haven't had time to play much... and I'm still (technically) in the first few minutes to the first hour of the game. I'm going to like.... own everything from here to the end... seriously... since they're still leveling...
