I'M TOOOOTALLY PSYCHED! It was a wonderful day today and i'm walking on sunshine!!!! wheeeeeeeee! Well, I woke up at 6 am to get ready for our band competition at 7am, put my hair in a ponytail and left for band. Sadly, my ponytail was just undone and my hair was smothered with gel and then put into a ponytail again. and then after the whole hair bun business, we all left and sat int he bus for one and a half hours. wheee. i got to sleep. =D at the band review, we marched and blah blah blah and i lost my pendant while coming back from changing out of my uniform. i found it later! YAY FOR MIRACLES! and then we went to the awards ceremony. the schools were all actually very friendly and fun to cheer against. 2400 sats! We're all taking 5 aps! sine, cosine, cosine, sine! 3.14159!!! We also started singing spongebob squarepants since we didn't have many cheers. hahaha! We got only one trophy, which was for our band. no auxillary, drum major, or percussion awards. =( but we got third place, which my freshman buddy never thought we could achieve. we later realized that if we had just repeated the STINKING TRIO a few times, we could have gotten first!!! aaaaaaaah!!!!! but that proves that we're really good, even with the new, inexperienced freshmen. =)

We had a two-hour break after we got back from our band review before we had to set off for the homecoming game. it was a reaaallly bad game. the whole time, i was pretty much ignoring it and singing some of the songs i knew. Skwok and I were trying to harmonize our "haaappy happy biiiirthday" song, but we failed. =/ my throat was already getting pretty hoarse from singing all day long. all my friends thought i went psycho....meeheeheeheee! yeaaap. during the halftime, i had to get a drink, so i missed the announcements, but my friends told me the results! JUNIORS GOT FIRST! I was jumping around due to the sugar and our magnificent victory against the seniors that so blatantly insulted us during their airband. grrrr....but then later, when i saw an onion, i felt bad for being so hyper, because he was a senior who was tired and depressed over the loss of the football game (0:40) and the senior's unprecedented third place. WELL, enough of that. I NEED TO STUDY FOR APUSH AND THE SAT!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

 Ohhh my goodness! I just had my "interview" today for the animal shelter volunteering. i'm awfully excited. To be able to handle the animals instead of just watching their adorable little faces through the cold iron bars is more thrilling than I can express. I don't mind the grunt work I must do as part of the job, since I already have to do that with my own pets. Sure, picking up dog feces and doing the laundry isn't fun, but it's not that bad. Furthermore, if I get to volunteer, I might be able to convince the shelter's veterinarian to let me watch the surgeries so I can get he gist of the veterinary field. It would be a good experience and it would help me really decide if I want to become a vet. I'm pretty sure I do, but there's no harm in making sure. And since the animal shelter is part of the police department, I can ask for a letter of recommendation from the sergeant. It would look really good on the college apps. ;D I think I was accepted as a volunteer, but I'm not exactly sure. I got my badge picture taken, and I was told that I would be good for the job, but they never said exactly if I was accepted. I don't really see why not, but maybe. Supposedly they're going to do a background check to make sure I don't have a criminal record and call for an orientation. And then I'll know for sure.

What's interesting is that in the quarantine room there is the dog who mauled the lady. I didn't actually get to see it, but my...uh...interviewer told me when he showed me around. 

Does anyone want a pet? There's really cute animals there. I was tempted to adopt all of them. eeheeheeheee... They're all so...so...CUTE! 

By now, I think everyone who didn't know that I was an animal freak realizes it now.

So today, we went to church and listened to a certain mother talk about her miracle child. yaah. i will not name names, so that's it. and in theology class, we were talking about unintentional errors in the bible. Some of you may be thinking, "ERRORS?! IN THE BIBLE?!! AAAHAHAHA!" but okay, whatever.

Later, after church we went to coyote hills with the fluffs. Our beagle yakked on the way there, since he gets carsick really easily. when we arrived, my seester and i decided to walk up the hill, while me mother went the less-steep way. we were supposed to meet up a little later, but me seester wanted to keep going along the path to see if it was shorter than going back. so we kept on going, and we couldn't really see where the end was. it was kinda neat 'cause i got to see a green snake zip across the path. since we couldn't see where we were going, i dragged me seester up a really steep hill and made her feel the burn. hahaha! and then went back down, since we realized the way not through the over the two steep hills was shorter. so we went along, eventually finding a path we recognized, and saw some sheep. truffo and beagle were whining when they saw them. sure, a shetland SHEEPdog, but why a beagle? anyways...we continued along the path and arrived at a parking lot, but the wrong parking lot. we realized we overshot the one we were supposed to meet at. so we walked a little while more, and along the way, met a little girl and her parents who really like dogs. so we stopped for a moment a let the little girl pet truff and beago, and then went along. our mom called for the tenth time, asking us where we were, and we told her we were almost there. by the time we arrived at our car, we had walked for two hours instead of one. but that was fun.

after the hike, we went to eat at black angus. we had already made a reservation for four, but they thought my mom's name was elizabeth toon with a party of two. kiiiinda WRONG. so they gave us a free sampler for waiting longer than we were supposed to. while me seester and i were finishing our big mountain fudge cake thing, our parents started quibbling. after a little while, my mother turned to me seester and said, "I'm not talking to him anymore! He started it!" my sister and i stared at her for a moment before busting out laughing. and then my dad had to say, "WHAT?! nuh-uhhh! do you know what she did?!!" of course, we started laughing harder because this was like a children's whiny argument on TV. my sister nearly choked on her half of the cake, and ended up not finishing it because she was laughing too hard. we never heard the rest of the arguement because we were being too loud ourselves.

in a dream i had before, i was a canine leader of a canine mafia group. i worked with a mad scientist. he told me that my job was to pick fights with whatever dog came in, and whoever didn't start to fight back wasn't good enough to recruit. and incidentally, my australian shepherd sister (who wasn't any of my actual sisters), came in and said, "brother! brother! what are you doing? can i join your pack??" and i thought to myself, waaaait a minute, did she just say I was her BROTHER?! oookay, so apparently, i'm a male. well, whatever, doesn't matter. now i need to see if she's up to par. and so i started to growl and bristle at her. When she didn't do anything, i started to chase her away, beyond the fence (i dunno where the fence came from) and a whole bunch of other dogs started to follow. and when she was safely (?) beyond the fence, she said, "When you need help, no one will help you, and you will DIE!" at the time, i was in the bushes by the fence, and i didn't care about what she said, and walked out. and then i turned into my female, human self again. i walked up a path, and then my friend, (cursedcherri) started shrieking, "YEAAAAH! GO GET HER!" and then i woke up. wow, talk about strange dream. 

Another dream i had took place in my house, on the same neighborhood. everything in my dream was realistic, except the entire city was fancier, higher-class, and less polluted. and i could fly. so i walked with my mom to her classes (?) at ohlone (?), and then she suddenly stopped and said, "Could you go back home and pick up my forms? i left them at home. but don't fly to low over the houses, they might think you're spying on them. so i flew, but over a random stadium from i dunno where, i accidentally flew too low, and every one looked up and yelled, "HIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!" It was scary. and so i ignored them and flew over to my house. i was going to get the forms, but i go distracted and went up to the hills behind onion and his neighbor's houses, where there was a dino park that was much like jurassic park. eventually, i flew back home, and realized how late it was, and that i forgot to get my mom her forms for her classes. i thought, well, i can still go back and give her the forms since she's just getting out of class now. so i got her forms, and walked out. i looked at the sky, and realized it was realllly foggy and cloudy and i couldn't see past my nose. and i remember my mom saying, "don't fly when it's foggy, you'll get lost!" and then i thought, ooohhh man...now what?! and then i woke up, thinking, that...was...stupid!!!

YEAH! so talk about random post. it's just that i had to post something because i today was kinda strange and my dreams were a little too memorable. so if you read all my randomness, thanks...i guess. ;D

something i forgot to mention...yesterday, for the california world history project (cwhp), we were originally supposed to be stuck in the conference from 7-4:30, but ended up being 7-7:30 because the bus broke down and we were stranded for another three hours. it was rush-hour traffic, so the repair people couldn't get there for a lloooong time. so we were doing nothing for about three hours, and were treated to more pizza for dinner (we had some for lunch) and more caffeinated soda. it was because of the soda that i had a headache for an entire day today. so if anyone noticed i was tired/snippy, it was because i had a caffeine-induced hangover. >.<
