Yesterday was a boring/exciting day. Well my aunt went to work and my mom and cousin and me were at home. My mom was getting ready to go to work and my cousin asked if we could go to the mall with her. She said yes, so we got in the car and she dropped us off at the street because Christmas is near and you know how crowded malls are. So she dropped us off in the street that goes around the mall and we had to walk a long way just to get to the mall. The street was like right in front of the mall, it just has a big parking area. Anyway, we walked around the mall trying to find a place where we could cross another street safely without J-walking. Eventually we got in the mall, went to JCpennys and told my aunt that we're there then we went around JCPenny and got bored so we went into the mall to look at the other stores. We spent about 30 minutes in Fye and we just walked around all bored.

Then eventually we got so bored, we sat down in the middle of no where and we started singing Christmas carols and we put an empty cup in front of us (We went to Orange Julius because we were thirsty) and some people were actually about to put change in it! But then we would start laughing and they would put their change back in their pocket and walk away. Heh. Then I started talking about how I should get another two piercings in my lobes behind my mom's back right then because I was bored. Then 4 o clock came and my aunt got off work. I told her about my idea and she took me to Icing in the mall to get my lobes pierced again. We go inside and I sit on the tall chair thing and the lady gave her a paper to fill out. When she got to the bottem, it said "Legal Guardian?" and it had a checkbox next to it. She asked me "Am I your legal gaurdian?" I asked the lady if it was ok that my aunt signed it. I told her it's a suprise for my mom. She went up front and asked and came back and said, "They said it's up to me but I don't want your mom coming in all pissed because you did this behind her back." And me with my magical persuading powers (lol Mason) I convinced her that my mom wouldn't go to her mad, she'd go to me all mad. Then I got them pierced. Here's what my ears look like:



I feel... pierced. We went to where we were supposed to meet my mom and she came and we were casually talking and I was trying to get her to notice. She just wouldn't. So I shoved my face into hers and screamed, "Do you notice anything different about me?!" And she said, "Uh, you got your ears pierced again?" Hah! It was funny. She didn't really care. She was sort of upset that I didn't talk to her about it first but it's ok now.

That was my day yesterday! Well actually, we went to Trader Joe's to get vitamins because I'm not eating enough and stuff (one meal a day :S) and me and my cousin were so tired and bored we sat down on the floor. This little 4 year old girl walked up to us and asked us in the sweetest voice ever, "What are you doing on the ground?" We told her we were out all day and that we were really tired and she was all, "Me too." And she started a conversation with us, she asked our names, she told us hers, she told us about her gramma, and how she made cookies the other day and stuff. Then she brought out her little mini doll of the little mermaid, you know the ones you get at McDonalds, and told us "This is my dolly" Then she wacked me in the nose with it on accident and then she started rubbing my nose screaming, "I'm sorry!" and her mom was behind her and apologized too. Then they had to go and she was all, "bye! It was nice meeting you!" and we said, "You too." Then we finally got up because my mom found what she needed and we went into another aisle and sure enough, there was Hannah (That's her name) and she said, "You again? Hi!" Heh, then we said hi and walked past her. That's about it!

This is going to be a rant entry so just ignore this if you don't want to hear few rants. I'm not mentioning any names or anything. If you don't want to read my rant, scroll down to my entry on the 7th and comment on that please. Commenters on this and that entry will be plugged in my next one.

Big egoed people

Some people just think they're on the top of the world because they're so good at a particular thing. It pisses me off so much. They just show off so people will kneel down on their knees and go "Oh my goodness! You're so good! Do it again!" or if guys have a crush on you, they'll come up with the most ridiculous lies just so you'll like them back. Hello, it's called being yourself. If you aren't yourself, how do you plan on having any successful relationships? Now back to the showing off thing, they show off so much that it becomes a habit and they don't even realize people around them are sighing everytime they do it. It's so annoying! They also try to impress people by the stress they're in or something hard they have to do. Let me give you an example, let's say you are in a musical and some big headed person who tries to get everyone to like them says, "Oh my! My singing part is so hard! I have to reach the highest F# known to man kind!" just to impress people. You know what I mean? Then the other person will say, "It's not that bad..." just so the other person will shut up then the other person just goes on and on about how "hard" it is. The highest F# known to man kind is just a huge exaggeration. Anyway, people who show off, try to impress people with "hard things" they have to accomplish, and guys who make up lies just so a chick'll like them piss me off so much. Oy!

/End of Rant #1\

Copiers

AGHHHH!!! Whew, I needed to get that out of my system. I hate copiers and I've come across a few copiers in the past 5 months along with some people I mentioned earlier. These people try to be like me. See, I'm a person who tries to be as unique as possible. And so far, I've had friends who have liked me for the way I am and who never ONCE tried to be like me. Well now I'm coming across some people who are trying to be like me for various reasons. And it makes me so mad. I can't STAND being like someone else. For example, someone will think, "Oh look, Tara's wearing that, it looks nice on her, I think I'll go buy it but in a different color so she won't notice." but will say, "Tara! That's such a cute ______, where'd you get it?" If someone does that once, it doesn't make me mad but if someone is my freaking clone, that really gets to me. And then, I hate it when people, who use people who are friends with someone the first "people" likes. Hah, that doesn't make sense, does it? Ok let's create a scene, there's a kid Hilda who is best friends with Bob. Hannah likes Bob so she becomes "best friends" with Hilda just so Hannah can get closer to Bob. And at the same time, steals Hilda's personality! She starts acting like "Hilda is her best friend" just so Bob will get used to seeing her alot and possibly like her and if that fails, she'll be just like Hilda so Bob will like her anyway. That made no sense, did it?

Remember, if you know me in real life and you're reading this, don't go running around telling everyone "Tara hates so and so, Tara thinks so and so's annoying and so and so pisses her off." I'm not mentioning anyone in specific, just ranting about it. (Read my previous entry and comment on it please. Commenters on this entry and the previous one will be plugged in my next entry)

{Subject: The Band concert and my friends}
{Mood: Excited}

I feel so refreshed. The band concert rocked serious butt. Well not the concert its self but afterward and before rocked serious butt. My friends Dani, BJ, David, Charles, and Mason came to see me. We had so much fun. The concert sucked though. The little 7th grade drummers weren't counting correctly during this one song, I think it was Beethoven's Ninth. Yeah, we played Beethovens Ninth. Let me start from the beginning of the program. The stars next to the songs represent how much I like the song and the way it was played. (Up to 5 stars)

Lets Go Band (**)
Jingle Bells and Jungle Drums (****)
First Christmas March (**)
Swingin Jolly Old Saint Nick (*** and a half)
Beethoven's Ninth (* and a half)
A Christmas Serenade (***)
Power Rock (** and a half)
Sleigh Ride (**** and a half)

I know I'm missing a song, oh well. Obviously it sucked and I'm trying to get it out of my memory. Now onto what happened. We were supposed to arrive at 6:45 and I got there at 6:30 and told the group (Dani, BJ, Charles, David and Mason) to meet me at the band room at 6:30. So I walk onto school campus and its drizzling. I see a bunch of kids at the gym, where we were going to perform, and walk to the band room. On my way there, I could see the door and it was closed. But there were two dark figures walking towards me, both taller then me. I thought to myself, "They must be highschoolers" I wanted to yell out "Who you be?!" but I was afraid I would make a fool out of myself. I have no idea why I thought that, I'm not that kind of person. So they walk up to me, then I start walking around them on the right. The person on the left turns and walks over to me as I walk past them. Turns out it was Mason and Charles! Ooh, forgot to tell you something, the "group" are my friends from highschool and it was really really dark when I was outside.) So we started chillin (heh) and we were waiting for Testa to arrive and open the door for us. Then he comes and we party inside then BJ gets there and then Testa kicked them out because the band had to start warming up. So they're outside in the cold while we're inside. And they did this all for me. :D

Then after our warm ups, I go outside and tell Mason and BJ to come inside. I didn't know where Charles was. So they came inside and partyed for a while then Dani and David got there. We hung out and eventually went into the gym. So then we performed and stuff. At the end of Swingin Jolly Old Saint Nick, Joe was supposed to go crazy on the drumset. You know, hit everything and stuff. But I always laugh when he does that, I have no idea why. So while we were playing that, I was standing there playing the bells and I was thinking about the end and how it was funny. So I started cracking up in the middle of the song. I cracked up quietly though. I was smiling throughout the whole song and by the time the end came, I was rolling on the floor! Not literally of course.

Then after the band concert, we all took the stands and equipment back into the band room and it was pouring. I'm sitting here right now soaking wet. Anyway we all ran back into the band room all soaking and it was like a jungle in there. EVERYONE was at the door and they were all trying to get through. They were screaming pushing biting! Well not biting, I almost bit someone though. Heh. Then eventually it calmed down and we took some pictures. Then me and Mason were outside waiting for our rides. Yes, we were standing out in the rain. It was fun. Then Joe and Leaman came and we hung out. It was really fun. Then when they left, the rest of the group came, then I went home and now I'm here. I know that wasn't really a good blog about my night but thats the best I could do. I'm tired, good night!

EDIT:// I put up a new layout and.. *drum roll* successfully converted my site to php! Praise me! I'm so happy!!\\:TIDE

Thanks for congradulating me everyone. Something else exciting happened after I blogged. I went to my piano lesson and I was playing Czardas on the Roland organ. It sounds very good on the Roland than the Wersi. I'm going to be playing Czardas at the recital tomorrow. Anyway, I was playing it at my piano teacher's house and then the phone rang. She went to go answer it and I continued playing the song. Once I finished I stopped for a minute and listened to what she was saying. (Naughty little me >:) ) She said something like, "Yes all the girls have gone to college but I have a group of kids who play wonderfully. How much are you planning on paying them?" In case you didn't get it, that was some person wanting the keyboard kids to play at for a group of people. A concert! I got excited then started Czardas over again. When she was done with her phone call she came back with a big smile on her face and said, "That was a lady from" (I forgot where) "and she wanted you guys to play for them!" Then I smiled and said, "Yeah! I heard! When is it?" "Well it's during a school day, you kids would have to get out of school for an hour or two around noon. Would you be able to?" "Yeah! Totally!" I'm not going to type the whole conversation. Basically, a lady wants us to play for this group of retired teachers and it's during school and if we can get out of school, we'll be able to play for them. But if one of the boys can't go, then we're still going to play for them.

I'm so excited! I've got lots of concerts and stuff going on. On Sunday (tomorrow) I've got a recital and the KK are playing 5 songs. Monday I have a band rehersal at 6PM. Tuesday I have two band concerts, 7th of January I have an honor band rehersal. 8th of January I have a honar band concert, and hopefully on the 12th I'll have a keyboard kids concert! Whoo! Oh and I'm getting my braces tightened on the 11th of January. :D

Oh I found out who my stalker "Zach" is. It's my cousin :P See, "Zach" spelt "gonna" g-a-n-n-a and my cousin who is learning english spells gonna like that. So I began to get suspicous. You know how when you comment on blogs, it saves your information so you don't have to type in your name email etc in over and over again? Well I went on her laptop and went to my site and click the comments link and sure enough, Zach and zach@yahoo.com were filled in. :P Oops! Got to go. Bye

{Mood: Excited}

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!! I MADE HONAR BAND!! OUT OF CENTRAL ___(insert my large state here) THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE ONLY ONE MALLET SPECIALIST AND THEY CHOSE ME!! Let me start from the beginning.

In the morning, I woke up at 5 and couldn't sleep because I was excited. By the time I got to school, I had stomach cramps. I went to the band room and the door was closed. I started jumping up and down yelling my band teachers name. Everyone stared at me hehe and my friends tried to calm me down. Then I turned away from the door and started talking to Jasmine. Then someone pointed to the window in the band room and yelled "Look! Its Mr. Testa!" I whirled around and started jumping up and down again. I yelled "Mr testa! Come out please! I want to know if I made it or not!" Then he opened the door a little and I screamed "Open the door!! Mr. TESTA!!" Hah yes I was very excited. He was all smiling and said "What are you doing here? You should be practicing for honar band." I started jumping up and down screaming. He was very happy and proud of me. Then I asked if Joe made it and he said no. I was so suprised. I was so sure that he would make it! He's such an awesome drummer!

Then I left the band room and ran over to Joe and said, "I have some good news and some bad news. Guess what the good news is first." He said that he couldn't guess and I told him I made it. He didn't seem happy or excited for me at all. Which disappointed me a little because he's my best friend and all. He doesn't show his emotions that much so maybe he was happy in the inside. Then I said, "Guess the bad news." He said, "I didn't make it" then I frowned and asked how he knew and he said he guessed. I said that I was sorry but so excited. Then I ran to Mrs. Kevin's room and asked if I could use her phone. I called my mom and told her I made it. She started screaming and yelling. It was so funny. I could never imagine my mom screaming about something like that! Then she said that she was going to call everyone and tell them and that we're going to celebrate tonight. So for the rest of the day I was all happy.

Then I got home and told Brittany to call Mason and tell him I made it. I couldn't call him myself because he was grounded from talking to me and the computer. Then after Brittany called, Mason called me and told me he was very happy for me and that he was ungrounded. Then we talked. I walked into the garage and I heard a car door slam. I yelled "Mom? Dad? Which one of you is it?" Then my dad responded, "Me. Open the garage door." So I did and as the garage door went up I saw my dad holding a big thing of red and white roses. I screamed (again) and told Mason that I'd call him back. I ran up to my dad and hugged him and stuff and took the flowers inside and up to my room. Then I called Mason again and told him what happened. Then I got mad at him and hung up but thats a different story. Then I felt bad about hanging up on him and called him back. Then we talked and my mom came home and told me and my cousin to go downstairs. I told Mason that I would call him back and I went downstairs and saw a box there all wrapped and with ribbons around it.

I walked up to it, thanked my mom and read the card that was attached. Its so cute! It has a picture of an old car and a dog inside it. Inside it says "To our sweetheart Tara. Believe in yourself and you can do unbelievble things. We believe it. Love Mom & Dad Dec/1/04" (By the way, happy Decemeber!) The card was so cute. I'll scan the picture sometime. Remind me too. Anyway I couldn't get the ribbons off so I turned it over to see if I could rip them off and I saw a Pac Sun label on the box under the gift wrapping and I yelled "Thanks for the sweater!" My mom asked, "How did you know it was a sweater?!" I replied with, "Thats the only thing I ever buy or want from Pacsun" (because their sweaters rock butt) I opened it and the sweatshirt looked like this. I'm wearing it right now. Then I turned around to hug my mom and then when I turned back around I saw another gift. It was one from my cousin and aunt. I held it and said, "Thanks for the barbie!" because the box felt and looked like a barbie box. My mom said, "No its not a Barbie, it's something from your wishlist!" Then I thought for a minute and said, "Thanks for the microphone then!" My cousin said, "No! Thats not what it is!" I said, "Yes it is" and I unwrapped the bottom and it said "Sony". I said, "see?" Lol then I opened it and went upstairs after thanking them one more time, called Mason, got off the phone with him because he had to go somewhere and now I'm here blogging! What a day eh?
