Hey guys. I know I haven't updated in a while, but I've been busy. A few days ago I got my Panic! at the Disco concert tickets. I was so excited! I'm gonna give Roberto his tomorrow coz I forgot today. I now am reliving my 5th year beginning band year....But this time I'm playing.....The cornet. Yes, the slightly smaller trumpet thingy....I don't know if i mentioned this before but w/e.... Mr coach dude is letting people play another insturment in the 5th grade band that meets in the morning. Me and Roberto are playing Cornet and Damien is playing a trumpet. We only got Cornet becoz he didn't have any trumpets left to loan. Oh well. Damien offered to let us all go to his house to practice but i had catechism, so i couldn't. -sniff- Maybe tomorrow. I hope. William is playign percussion, and some other i thin kadvanced dude is playing trumpet. Dylan i think will also play percussion. Today he played his Baritone. We didn't really have to go to class until Monday, but me and roberto wanted the last two trumpets(well, we just found out today they were cornets)the school had coz Jessica wanted to play trumpet. Thank God we got them and she didn't. :) I'm having a little trouble playing today, but I think thats just coz I'm kind of sick. I'm probably getting up like 10 times in almost every class to blow my nose. But i didn't have to blow my nose in band. So yeah. Mr coach dude said musicians were probably oneof the smartest people you'll meet. Coz like, we have to do math and we learn another language(latin) and all this other stuff. I thought that was cool. I went to the library and I got: VHSs: Michael Crawford in concert Sarah Brightman in concert Yes. I am a fan of them.But I think Randel Keith is a better Phantom than the original.Sorry. Randel is much more talented and he played like 3 of the main character dudes in the musical(of course at different times) CDs: John Mayer's Room for Squares best of the Yellowjackets You know how you always look at a cd or something and you never pick it up or anything, but you've seen it so many times you just so tempted to look at them or to hear or read it? Well, thats how it was for this CD. They sound cool, but its odd. Like its kind of like mall music. Mellow soft music with Lion King 'he lives in you' type of singing. Ya know? anyways, its pretty good.Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band- The Phat Pack omg. They added me on myspace once and I went on their site to hear them & they sounded FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! SO Once when I looked for them at some store they didn't have them, so I kind of forgot about them, but I FOUND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're so AWESOME! I'm so HAPPY!!!!!!! =D Book: John Mortimer's Quite Honestly Okay, The only reason I got this was I saw the Phantom's mask(like on the cover of Gaston Leroux's book)and I had to pick it up. But it sounds like it has nothing to do with anything related to the Phantom. Oh well. I've read a few pages of it and its pretty good so far. And it takes place in London, so I'm excited about that. :D So yea. Tomorrow is Club day so yay! I wonder who mr coach dude picked to bring in the cd this week. When he asks me to I'm either gonna bring: Allice Cooper's From the Inside, an Eagles cd, or the Blues Brothers. I'll ask him. lol.

GOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!! Well, we're not in Vietnam, but I like that movie. Robin Williams is funny. His movies are hilarious...well, One Hour Photo isn't. And I'm still freaked out when I go to(or even walk by) the one hour photo counter at Sam's Club. It looks just like the one in the movie! -shudders- Anyways, my day has been good. I watched Joseph again(saw it yesterday) it's really good. But I'm thinking it would be even better with Amy Adams and Patrick Cassidy instead of Donny Osmond and Maria Friedman. But it was still good. I loved that everyone(except Donny) had English accents. So cool. When It started I saw those kids uniforms and I thought. British. When Maria started singing my mum said, 'hey,theyre English.' And I was like, 'Dur, couldn't you tell by the kids' uniforms?' She said she thought it was a catholic school. She says its a catholic british school. She's weird sometimes.
I'm gonna watch it again tomorrow. After I was done watching it today I read the story in the bible. I haven't read it since last september.
I read fanfiction. Listened to music. Talked to Roberto on MSN. Txted Kelsey and on Wednesday she and her mum are gonna pick me and Roberto up to go to her house.
I've been bored. I can't wait for school to start. Which is on the 21st. I hope I get Mrs. Gribble for Language Arts. She's my fav LA teacher(and I know coz I've had -counts on fingers- 5 in 2 years) The office opened a few days ago so we all should be getting our schedules in soon. I also hope I get Orchastra. And I hope our new band directour is a good one. Has a sense of humour and teaches well. Ya know? Jasmine(the TL at LeadU)'s brother was in a really awesome band but when their directour had to take a year off coz of cancer the new director was horrible and the band fell to pieces. Thats a horror story to me. I hope that doesn't happen.
So yeah. I have nothing else to say i guess....
oh, I seem to be always playing the middle man for Kiana and Amanda. They're always asking me, 'Is kiana on? is amanda on? is greg on?' agh. it gets annoying after awhile.
thats all.
Peace!
No day but today!

sup y'all! okay, so I had loads of fun at Lead U(Leadership University). here's a re-cap of the trip starting from the day before I went on the plane...
Wensday~
Me and my mum left for phoenix around 12:00. So my suitcase stands out I spray painted(well, my dad) RENT on each side in white paint, and I spray painted the front and wrote RENT phases all over it. it did stick out. lol. We got to the hotel. Sadly there was no Comedy Central coz they were gonna FINALLY re air 'Trapped in the Closet' and I and to miss it. I thought that sucked. My dad said he watched it for the first time. and that it was finny. =) That's my fav episode. (Tom Cruise, please come out of the closet! No! Mr. Hubbard didn't like my acting!) lmao.
Thursday~
I got up at like 1:30am, and got ready to leave. The plane left around I think 4 something. I was just prayin' over and over to God that my flights would be safe. Thankfully they all we're. I love riding in planes now. In the morning when the sun's coming up over the big fluffy clouds I finally got why people always pictured Heaven with clouds and all. Its so beautiful. I loved it. The clouds reminded me of:
Coconut Cotton candy
Pina Colada cotton candy(you know how all the Pina Colada type drinks are white and all)
Antarctica in the summer time(coz it looks like ice broken off and floating in water)
Heaven
The first plane I took was from Phoenix to Dallas. Then when I was going to get on the plane from Dallas to DC the gate person that had to put me on the plane wasn't there so the dude who drives the car to the different gates had to bring me to the UM(unaccompanied Minor) area. Then the people there forgot about me and I missed my flight. So they had to put me on the next one an hour later. Boy was my mum POed. But I met some cool people there. A girl I think her name was Lauren. She was 15 going back home from the Netherlands. And there was this boy who her and him kept arguing and he threw ice cubes at her. It was funny. And there was this girl who was really annoying. She kept talking about nonsense I can't remember. But she left a few minutes after I got there(thank you God!). And a brother and sister who were so intent on watching TV(boomerang) that every time the people who worked there called their names they ignored them. It was kind of funny.
So yeah. When I got off the shuttle from the Ronald Regan airport in DC to Gallaudet University(a school for the deaf and hard of hearing) I got lost going to Ballard North(where I lived) and then going to the Elstad Auditorium(where we had our meetings and stuff) for opening ceremony. So I didn't change into my professional clothing. It was hot in there. almost 400 people breathing. agh! lol.
We had the first team meeting after where we did a thing where we have to ask someone their name, where they're from, something they don't know how to do and we do, and stuff. I met a kid from Oklahoma named Philip. He and his friend Luke(also in our group) were both from OK. So after everyone introduced the person they just meet, we all headed off to our dorms.
When I got to my room I meet my roommate, Kayla. She's cool. From Oklahoma too. The panhandle part tho. Philip and Luke were from Shawnee(I think that's the name).
Friday~
Saturday~
Monday~
Tuesday~
I thought I didn't have to be at the shuttle until 10:30 so our group had planed on eating breakfast together one last time....Well, the remains of our group. We were talking and taking pictures and stuff. Some lady called my name and said I was late going to the shuttle. I didn't know that! Oh well. anyways, I had to run to Ballard North(which is right next to the cafeteria) but then I had to run up 4 flights of stairs. I had to get the stuff I didn't pack packed and run down again. Check out, and go to Benson Hall where the busses where waiting. The lady checking everyone in on the bus said I was suppose to leave on the 2nd bus(this was the 3rd one). Oh well. I still had time and didn't miss my flight.
But then I started thinking of my friends there and everything and I started getting teary eyed. I had to think of something else like the grass or...something. I was looking at the fence while going to the airport(they were really rusty). The grass. the cars...buildings. the road. If you looked inside my mind you would think I had an extreme case of ADD or something. hehe. So I got checked in at the airport, but while doing that I saw Phillip and Luke there too. After they left I kind of um...broke down? I was really sad that I was leaving all my friends. And who knows when I would see them again. If I would see them. I didn't completing calm down until I went on the plane. then I called my mum to tell her I was on the plane when I broke down again. Gosh. I hate myself for doing that. Crying in public...twice. agh.
okay...after all the plane rides I got back to Phoenix. Me, my mum and dad had lunch at Crackle Barrel and went back home.(My dad gave me this really cool snake ring by the way.) I was so happy to see my computer again! And my dog. We missed each other. He always gets so sad when I'm gone for even one day.
Wednesday~
Me and my mum went back to Phoenix coz she had a meeting(Her supervisor Tom didn't want to go). We had dinner at P.F. Changs. I love that place. I saw a BORDERS down the street from it too. So we went in there. I am officially broke now. I bought: Now Showing-Unforgettable moments from the Movies, Stay tuned- Unforgettable TV moments(both only 3 bucks), and Without you- a memoir of love, loss, and the musical RENT. by Anthony Rapp.Its about his career in RENT and what happened while he was doing it and stuff. his memoirs. I got it coz I saw Mark(played by Anthony) and RENT on it. lol. My mum also found the original Phantom of the Opera. yay! And I don't mean the original PotO with Michael Crawford...The ORIGINAL silent film with Lon Chaney!
Anywho, I wanted to get 100 years of playbills too, but it was $35 and I already spent too much with those books and movie. I also got a BORDERS rewards card. I always go to every BORDERS I see so why not save a few bucks there?
Thursday~
I spent the time while my mum was at the meeting hanging out in the hotel room reading(Wicked and Without You) and watching TV. When we got back home I started to watch the Phantom of the opera. Its so good. Its a 2 disk set. One has the 1925 version. Not that great. Like its all white and you can't see the faces that good. And the other disk has the 1929 restored version. that ones really good. It has a little colour in it too. I haven't finished watching it though coz I fell asleep then went on the Internet. lol. So yeah. Thats basically all.
Right now I'm just listenign to my Wicked CD and just chilling...chilling hard. lmao. no, just hanging out listenign to music. I said the chillign thing coz there was this one dude who everytime he said somethign he always mentioned when he was back home he was gonna chill hard. lol.
~trina...Mimi
No day but today
We had lectures, team meetings, and a closing ceremony that day. The Closing Ceremony was fun. The guest speaker, Dr. Gilbert didn't come so we just hung out and stuff. The dude who was talking, I forgot his name, made us do some stupid songs. But they were fun stupid songs. LIke Bazooka Bubble gum(My mom gave me a nickel(my mom gave me a nickel) She said go buy a pickle(she said go buy a pickle) I did not buy a pickle(I did not but a pickle) instead I bought bubble gum. bazooka-zooka bubble gum. Bazooka-zooka...) lol. And there was this other one with a shark and you got your arm bitten off by it and you go to heaven. We did this one thing where when everyone does it, it sounds like a real rain storm and all. I liked that one
After words we were hugging everyone and saying out goodbyes incase we didn't see them the next day. In my room me and Kayla were packing up and kind of going crazy. I took some pics of the room and stuff. And I fell on my suitcase. We didn't turn off the lights til like 11:00. maybe later.
We had to do a High Ropes Course but it looked like it was gonna rain so we went inside the gym instead. We didn't get to do what we were gonna do, but I think we all had fun still. I know I had fun watching Daniel and Jay being blind on one of the things we had to do. lol. We had some meetings and lectures then we had free time instead of a team meeting and after we all had a Social. We all had some ice cream and soda then went into Elstad to watch Glory Road. It was such a good movie. I'd been wanting to watch it. I love those kinds of movies. Glory Road, Remember the Titans. Movies like those.
Sunday~
We went to the Smithsonian Institution. A few groups went to the outer space one. Natural whatever one(I think it was about rocks or something). and American History. Our group went to American History. I was so glad too coz I was really excited to see Archie Bunker's chair! lol. And I did!!!! I also saw Fonzie's brown jacket, Mr. Roger's sweater, The Muphets, the Star Spangled Banner(that was sooo awesome! I wish we could have been able to take pics.), and lots of other stuff. It was really fun. Ten after words we had lunch at Union Station. I had Sushi. It was good. Then we shopped a bit. I bought 2 CDs- Taylor Hicks(it only had 2 songs, but I love those ones), and Wicked. Then we looked at other shops before we had to go. I saw a B. Dolton and had to go into it even though we had like 10 minutes before we had to meet at the rally point. lol. I found Wicked the book and bought it. I'm reading it now. It's really good.
After Dinner we went to the Grant Memorial and got a photo. CSLC(for High school) got one together and NJLC(the on I was in for Jr High students). I didn't realize that Capitol Hill was behind us 'til one dude said that this was a great shop for a picture and I was wondering what he was talking about so I turned around and I was like...oh shoot. I'm stupid....That's a big building. The picture turned out great by the way. Well, except coz we were facing the sun a lot of people had their eyes closed of squinted in the pic.
We saw a few memorials after that. The one's I remember are: Jefferson (I didn't like that one) I think that was the one where we saw the big stick monument thingy(Washington memorial?) across the lake from. Me and my friends went picture crazy and started poperotzing our other friends. Anyways, we also saw the FDR memorial(the one with all the water falls. It was boring), Lincoln, and World War II. I saw Fireflys at the Lincoln too!! They look so cool! and one kid caught one but killed it on accident. Their little butts glow! haha.
We had a mini-lecture before we headed to the busses to go to Arlington National Cemetery. Let me tell ya...There are a lot of graves there. (Well no dur Trina, Its a CEMETARY!...oh yeah...) I remember two stones that stuck out when we were walking to the Tomb of the Unknown Solders...One headstone had the last name Evans on it so it reminded me of Lily Evans-James' wife in Harry Potter- Then I saw a headstone right behind it that had the surname...Potter. I grinned. That was the freakiest thing ever. When I told me friend she didn't really care. I wish I had my camera out at that time!
(I think it was this day)Jasmine(our TL-team leader) took us to the Bison Shop after out team meeting and I bought a Nicholas Sparks book-The Rescue. It's really good so far.
Later on we had a guest speaker, Dr. Katherine green. I forgot what she talked about. Current Location: The Emerald City

omg. I'm sooo glad to be back. I had such a fun vacation though. Here's a recap...
Tuesday: Me and my mum left around 6:00am to Anehiem, ca...Disneyland. We went to California Adventures for the first day coz we had 3 days there and I really wanted to go there first. The Tower of Terror was freakin' awesome!!! I was literally sitting on air when we came falling down. California Screamin' was wicked awesome too. Its the roller coaster that has the Mickey face. We got to ride a bus type thing to Disneyland and back to our hotel. It was fun.
Wensday: We went to Disneyland and did stuff there. I was soooo mad coz the world premire of Pirates of the Carribean 2 was gonna be there on Saturday. and they're also gonna release the newly redone PotC ride. They fixed and added some things. I really like that ride but i couldn't go on it coz of that....grr. Later on that day we went to California adventures again to finish up the things we didn't do.
Thursday: It was like a review day. We went to both places to do the things we wanted to do again, like the Tower of Terror, california screamin', its a small world, stuff like that. We also saw the musicals, 'Snow White' and 'Aladdin, the Musical Spectacular' that day. They were really good. The Geinie in Aladdin was really cool and funny.
For lunch we went to the House Of Blues. I got 2 shirts and 2 pins i put on my jacket.
Friday: We headed off to LA to go to Universal Studios. But first we stoped in Hollywood to see the Walk of Fame. And we ended up buying cheap 25 dollar tickets to see Joseph and the Amazing tecnicolour dreamcoat for Saturday. We stayed at a Hilton hotel near Universal studios. exspensive but awesome. We only stayed there for one night tho coz 1. we didn't plan on staying after Saturday and 2. coz it was waaay too expensive.
We went to Universal after we got to the hotel(did I mention we get vallet parking and some dude brought up our stuff? lol. it was cool) We stayed there til 6:30...after fear factor live was over...it was also the last show/ride that preformed for that day.
Saturday: We spent a while at US (we had a 2 day pass for it) an then went to Hollywood to look around. We went to the 'L. Ron Hubbard Life Exibit' which was a really crazy idea, but I really wanted to kno who created scientoloy and I had this free admission thingy. They dude who told us about the museum and stuff said scientoloy was a Philosophy...then he mentioned it was a religion....then back to the phlosophy thing...then religion. Geez! MAKE UP UR IDEA CRAZY FREANCH CANADIAN SCIENTOLOGIST!!!!!! -sigh- but besides being confusing and a scientologist he was nice. The first video we saw made Hubbard look like some kind of god or hero saying he was the greastest american of all time and stuff....At the age of 3, when kids are usually clinging to their monthers, L. Ron Hubbard, or Ron, as he liked to be called, was riding wild mustangs...Ron was an Eagle Scout at the age of 13...Ron was dancing with Blackfoot and was soon a blood brother of the tribe(I forgot the tribe name)...He traveled to 29 countries and wondered why there was so much wisdom in places like china and america, yet so much poverty....He wrote over 500 books and stories...blah blah BLAH!!!!! GAR! It was crazy. But I had to go. I wanted to find out who created such a crazy religion. -sigh- The dude said u can be your religion but also be a scientoloist. Then he said it was a philosphy...but he mentioned the Church of scientology. -sigh- And every where I went in Hollywood there was a scientology building. It was crazy....really crazy.
Anyways, we then went to the Mann's Chinese Theatre and I took some pics of some stars hand, foot, fists, etc prints. We had lunch at Mel's Diner...American Graffiti based their drive in on that place.....or something like that.
I also got a tecnicolor slinky from a golden man doing the robot. hehe. I gave him some change coz he was a street preformer and was cool, and he gave the slinky to me. But I lost it somewhere in the car when I was eating lunch. -sniff-
Those energy drinks, full throtle are good. some people in a truck were giving 2 kinds out. I got a red one and my mum got a black one. I liked the red one better. And I alwasy thought they were full of sugar and stuff but they actually have less calories and sugar than Dr Pepper...ANd those really small smothie drinks.(they had the smothie drinks at the Hilton's resurant(cafe sierra[or something like that]) breakfast buffet.
Anywho, we walked back to the Pantages Theatre(where Joseph was playing) and I texted Kelsey a few times before it started. It was such an awesome show. Better than I expected. After words I bought the program book and the soundtrack. My dad was mad coz we saw it and that was the only musical he really wanted to see. Poor dad. You wanna know something? I thought Patrick Cassidy(the dude who played Joseph) looked pretty good without his shirt on. hehe. 6 pack and all. and I had binoculars on coz we were at the 2nd to the last row. 6 packed dude in one of those isreal skirt things.=) Anyways, the sound was awesome even up there. The building was beutiful. All oldish and cool. That kind of how I got my mum to really buy the tickets...She has a thing for old buildings. hehe.
That night my mum drove around and ended up at some motel thingy called Budget Inn. -shudders- I asked my mom to turn on the TV to watch before I went to bed and right when she turned it on I heard this moaning...then the screen came on and there was this naked chick. -shudders again- ew. Mum changed the channel quickly...good. That was DISCUSTING! We ended up watching TBS...We didn't flip thru channels again while we stayed there.
Sunday(Today): We woke up and headed towards home. OH! One funny sight i saw was a horse with his 2 front legs in an old type of bath tub. It was funny.
We got home around 1:30pm. And I got on the internet and put in my Joseph CD in the computer. I'm still listening to it...its like the 3rd time around. I'm so bored. I'm texting Kelsey M. now. I need to read sooo many updated fanfics its crazy! -sigh- i guess I should start now. But I might not. I really don't feel like it. bye!
~Trina....No day but today
I totally forgot to tell ya'll about my tromitizing experience with a full shrimp! ok, here's the story... I was at the Hilton's resturant for dinner, and it was a buffet so I was getting some rice and there was a shrimp end so I thought, 'yum, shrimp to go with the rice'. So I picked it up and put it on my plate but when I looked at it it had a black beady eye on one side, but on the other it was smushed!! and it also had those antenna thingys. eww. i couldn't eat it, but I couldn't just put it back coz thats rude and discusting to other people, so i went back to the table, and just ignored the shrimp...but I took a pic of it with my phone(with my flash off coz it was a kind of fancy resturant and that would be rude to have the flash on while ppl were eating) and I sent it to kelsey the next morning. hehe. So yeah...and my mum offered me a regular de headed shrimp so i took it but i was about to eat it(coz I didn't think I was that tromitized at that time) but i couldn't coz all i saw was that black beady eye and those antenna things! -shuders-....so yeah, thats all i wanted to add.
P.S.
bye!
