What a day!
started off with me jolting awake, at the sound of my parents moving around. it was 8:49. I was supposed to be awake at 8am.... lol. and i was being picked up by someone at 8:45 - so i was glad she hadn't called me yet.
I took 5 minutes to get ready. 4 minutes after i received her phone call I left the house.
chatted @ mcds for a few hours. and then spent two hours wandering around a library and then milling about in the area before going to grab some grub at A&W.
taking the TTC on the weekend is not fun. it feels so weird. so. purposeless. maybe because i was alone. it was so hot i couldn't stand it. by the time the bus came, i had pools of sweat on the bends of my elbows.
also, it was really crowded and stinky. full of sweaty people lol. but that wasn't so bad. what was pretty bad was standing butt to butt with this lady, who decided to squeeze herself in the middle of the sides of the bus.. and then lean over and hold on to the swinging rope thing. i thought she was just passing through, so i got on my tippy toes to give her more space to pass... but i guess she took that for a place to stand. lol. it was so gross. we were both drenched in sweat. plus the feel of her bum against mine was just. not very comfortable. thankfully, i got off not too many stops after. lol. phew.
went over to church, had practice for some father's day show tomorrow, in a very cold air conditioned building.
4 hours later.... my arm was numb from playing non-stop/cold.
finally at the break I went outside and soaked up the sun like a reptile.
practice was. really. stressful. i was also doing av... so i had lots of running up and down to do, yelling, plugging in wires, cables, and trying to adhere to everyone's complaints/concerns/problems. everyone was asking me if i could find them extension cords, keys to open rooms, match the speed of a video to the band/recorded track/singer.... and on top of that..... i disappointed my singer with a really bad solo today. sigh. i think we did that song maybe two or three times. first time i completely missed the solo, thinking that there was one more chorus to come first. but nope...... second time....the intro was all messed up because my arm was numb....and i was also feeling really grumpy. so i redid the intro, better this time, and i didn't miss the solo @ the music break.. but still. i feel like i could have done much better. i was a bit disappointed in myself...... tried not to beat myself over it. but i couldn't stop just feeling angry at myself. and i know hes just his usual self, but he forced a frown every time i looked at him lol. so mean to me! Also, my quarter - inch patch cord broke on me while playing the solo to our last song... so i had to stop and use my backup cable (good thing i brought one).
after practice, we went out for dinner. i love them. even though sometimes practices can be really tough and exhausting on the physical and emotional part of me, i still had the energy to carry on conversations, and laugh like crazy with the rest of them. oh my goodness. i think this was one of the few times that i'd been part of a rowdy crowd at a restaurant (asian, so it's alright) and oh man. so embarrassing, but at the same time i didn't care because we were all having a great time. haha. wow. they can cheer me up from a really crappy day [probably was just all in my head anyway] and i can count on them for support. oh man. im really going to miss them when i go away for the summer and uni. but i will come back and visit and be one of those occasional members who crash events and shows. haha. hopefully i'll be pro enough to do that =). lol i don't understand really fobby asians. their jokes, and the way they talk sounds really harsh and mean and uncensored.. lol but there are no real hard feelings [within our band anyway] and they're all just really for jokes. chilling with them for the past two years have really been such a blessing and i've learned so much.
we are so impulsive. in one meal, we already planned what we were going to do after the show tomorrow. go home, celebrate father's day [for those of us who live with them] and then go sleepover at either of our band leaders' houses. then we'd all go to wonderland the day after [for the people who took a day off work/finished school] and then after that we'd go meet up with the people after work/school to have dinner in celebration of our band leader's birthday! wheee. intense. after they dropped me off at home, i researched all the coupon codes and whatnot.
now time for bed. gotta wake up early tomorrow! the excitement never ends, so i gotta rest up to be able to fight and be rid of exhaustion! [and also a potential cold. i had two ginger candies. oh my goodness. they sting..... blaaaaaaaacccccccchhhhhhhhkkkkkk. i hope it works]
