This day wasn't my favorite, but it became increasingly better as the day progressed. ;D
Sunday:
Okay, so I woke up at about 3:30 to brush my teeth, wash my face, and fix my hair before going to meet the guys at the fitness center. I left my room at about 4:10, just in case they weren't there yet. So, I tried my best to be silent as I shut my room door and went into the elevator.
Once I was on the second floor, I peeked through the little window that looks into the fitness center. I expected to see some familiar faces, but sadly it didn't happen that way. I saw some random guy just standing in there, not working out, but just standing there with his back to the door. o_O" So I backed away, and got back into an elevator. I couldn't really go back to my room because I'd surely get caught being outside. So I spam-called Shelton and Marc, but they were knocked out or something. Eventually Shelton picked up and kinda tried to talk me into going back to my room for some sleep. Didn't happen.
He got into the same elevator that I was camping in. Coincidence, no? His key couldn't open the fitness room, haha. xD I used mine, and it worked perfectly. The random scary guy wasn't there anymore, thank goodness. I had originally planned to work out on all the machines, but that didn't happen. Shelton tried to pick me up and force me on one, but HA. Nopeeee. Thinking heavy thoughts really does help. >;] Anyway, after that mess Gabe strolled in and didn't work out; he just suggested that we go for a swim instead.
The three of us went back to their room to go get Marc and some other people. So, they opened the door and walk in, while I had to "stay outside." While I sat in the open doorway, I saw Jake and Elijah in a deep sleep on the floor, Ronald barely waking up, and Marc trying to get dressed? And the whole time Marc's yelling something about waking up to porn on the tv. x] What a crazy room! I'm just sitting there, listening to all their guy talk and just hoping that none of the chaperones will wake up and find me. They finished getting ready, and we boarded an elevator. It felt weird because they were all in their boardshorts and what not, while I was in my tour jacket and jeans (looking janky as fuck, I might add). ;P
When we got there, it was still pretty dark outside and the water was still "fucking freezing." I sat down in a chaise, Shelton stood beside me, and the rest of the guys just stood around the pool. Gabe was the only brave one and went into the water first. He was in there for a while before anyone else dared to start wading in. Trust me, it took a long time. It was really awkward having to hear "AAAAAH, MY FUCKING BALLS!!!" every ten seconds, while being the only girl there. But whatever, I thought it was funny. At 5:56 me and Shelton went back into the lobby because he wanted to retrieve some lost items. Then we went back, and all the guys were in the hot tub. MAN SOUP! At first it was just them being calm, so I figured it would be okay to just sit in a nearby chaise and listen, y'know? But then they started talking about who had the biggest dick, and who was hard yet, and all that jazz. And they kept offering "some slow lovin'" to each other. x] Um, yeah. They would get out of the hot tub to jump in the cold pool water again, just to go back into the jacuzzi to warm up. -__-
Eventually, I grew tired of them and went to the cafe for breakfast. I planned on just getting a coffee, but then I remembered that I had a stupid clinic to go to. So I bought a salad and green tea instead, because I assumed it would fill me up for a few hours. Then I went back to the pool, and Leann was there. She was just kinda sitting around and not getting in the water, so I sat next to her and started eating my breakfast. We had a short talk, then she left to go find more people, I kept eating, and then she came back. Rockaela and Holly jumped into the pool with their pajama bottoms on, and started swimming. Silly kids.~
At seven thirty I went to my room to take a shower, but Rhealyn was still in the bathroom and Erika had called next so I was SOL. But being the brilliant child I am, I asked for Leann's room key and took a shower in her room. When I got out, I saw Rhoda sitting up in her bed, so I said hi. She kind of looked at me funny, but I just walked out. I went back to my room, blow dried my hair, and tried to fix myself up a little bit so I didn't look quite as crappy. Went downstairs, and saw Mark. He wanted something in the cafe, so I decided to just keep him company while he was in line. I ended up being the one to order, though. It was all good though, because he bought me a "blondie." ;9 I'm in love with those. Then we kinda just hung out in the lobby as we waited for the buses to come.
The buses came, but we still didn't leave for a while. I slept- again. I was always sleeping on that thing, even if the drive was only five or ten minutes long. The clinic was at the Mariott, which was across the street from the Hyatt, and we were still late. -___- We got there, and I was blinded by this hideous rug. Man, it was fucking ugly. It continued into the room where we were supposed to be playing in, too. UGH.
In the clinic, we rehearsed the "Berceuse" with Wind Ensemble, then we worked on the Holberg and "Of Glorious Plumage." The adjudicator guy was really nice, and he made us do that jumping up thing Paige does sometimes. And he's friends with Richard Meyer, which is the coolest thing he could've told us in my opinion. He even gave Paige Meyer's number, and now she's going to try to get him to visit the school next year. x] Overall, that clinic was basically spent reminding us about what Paige has been telling us about dynamics and using your bow. I did learn some things about tremolo playing, though.
Chamber finished and left Wind Ensemble to do their own clinic. We got back to the Hyatt, and Concert Strings was in front of their bus. I found Kim, and she gave back my shampoo and stuff that I forgot in their bathroom. Then she told me that I scared Rhoda, who didn't recognize me when I came out of their bathroom. x] Then I hugged Shelton, who was really, really warm. And then all the Concert people went to take a class picture, and then they boarded the bus. Me, Kevin, and Erika were standing outside waving to them and just kinda stood around for a bit. We wanted to completely see them off, so we planned to run after their bus for as far as we could. Miss Mooney stepped off the bus, and we realized that there were no more chaperones inside, so we ran in and people started cheering for us. x] I made a full circuit inside first, but then Kevin decided to throwdown a bus challenge that I just could not refuse. So what if he runs hella fast? I'm better at dodging things. I won~ (; (; (; We saw Miss Mooney coming back, so we ran out of the bus and she just smiled at the three of us. The bus started, and we ran after it, but it wasn't that far of a run.
Kevin decided to call David, Jon, and Tony to find out where they were. Then we walked about two blocks in the fucking heat to the Red Mango, and I instantly regretted not bringing my wallet. We kinda just lounged around, and then Kevin offered to pay for me. Oh yeah, mah brother! >x] So I got a green tea frozen yogurt with mochi. ;9 I was craving that for the longest time. Then we went to Ralph's to get a deck of cards, and it took us thirty minutes to find them even though they weren't all that far from the entrance. We left, and on the way back to the hotel we ended up stopping at Burger King because the guys were hungry. I didn't eat though. I played Mao with Tony and Cleve while I waited for the others to eat. Cleve does not understand the game- AT ALL. xD Then, as a large group, we went back to the hotel and Wind Ensemble still wasn't finished.
It was already past one, so we kinda gave up on going to Soup Plantation for lunch. Me and Erika just went to go hang out in Vivian's room, where a pillow fight took place. I wasn't in it, but I recorded it on Erika's camera for them! :3 Then we kinda just chilled, and I kept watching channel 43, that TV JAPAN channel that I just loved so much. I especially enjoyed the children's shows, where these darling little Asian children would dance while cute Asian boys would sing little kids' songs. I would do the dances and mimic their silly facial expressions, and Vivian looked at me like "What the hell? Who are you, I don't know you anymore!" x) So obviously, my inner child is hecka freaking Asian. ^-^ After that me and Erika went back to our room to "get ready" for Pirate Dinner, but I ended up just taking a nap while she talked with Rhealyn. I woke up to the sounds of the Holberg Suite- geez, I really wouldn't mind not hearing that song ever again. I still continued to lay on my side with my eyes open, but someone assumed I was still asleep and lobbed their phone at my stomach. I was already hungry, but that made my tummy feel worse. -__- I left the room with Erika, and then we made our way to the bus for that dang Pirate Dinner the Concert kids were raving about.
We got there after bus one, who all were assigned to be orange; we knew that already. I wondered what color bus two was assigned. I hoped for blue, because all the Concert girls were gushing about his "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG HAWT BODYYYYY." I would've been down for purple too, because people were saying that he had some badass fighting skills. But then Piper's dad came onto our bus with the tickets, and he said that "four lucky winners" would get to be orange like the rest of bus one. Since me, Erika, Vivian, and Elizabeth were the first four people on the bus, we went on team orange while the rest of the bus went on to support the purple pirate.
We entered the building after buying our orange headband things, and there was a really big crowd of SCPA students just standing around, blocking the way to all the free appetizers! Dx The last thing I had to eat was frozen yogurt and some chips at the hotel, and then you're all gonna BLOCK MAH WAY?! >x| Taylor found us, and then she helped us push our way to some food. I'm glad that girl is assertive!
The five of us watched a little bit of the preshow, where that Pirate McGee guy was introducing the rest of the pirate crew. Red came out, and I thought he was scary. Then yellow came, and I was like, "Ew, that's Concert Strings' Pirate." x] Haha. Orange came, and he was this big, hulkish looking guy! I was excited to have some hardcore barbarian pirate, and I just assumed that he'd be the coolest one. B] We followed him into the dining area, where there were many candles, and I just couldn't live with that. So Vivian sighed, and moved the candle away from me and placed it on her opposite side. We were served some salad. Mmmmm, grass. ;D And then the waiter came to give us a pitcher of soda, and Vivian offered to pour it for us. But she failed and ended up spilling half of its contents. Good thing my plate was already empty by then. >;)
I continued watching the show. It was pretty good- very predictable, but I still enjoyed it. I liked the food too, even though there wasn't anything particularly amazing about it. I got the rice and shrimp, like the Asian I am. I wasn't even thinking about it, I was just like, "Yay, you guys have seafood! Now all you need is some rice!" And then the waiter goes, "Oh, don't worry. Rice comes with the shrimp." ^-^ Haha, that made my day. I finished everything pretty quick, though. I looked around and everyone was still eating, including Vivian, who was the only one during the whole trip whose appetite could compare to mine. The apple cobbler and ice cream was good, but I didn't want to eat it because it was plated so nicely. x3 The orange and purple sections were ridiculously louder than the other sections, even though the yellow team had a bunch of high school cheerleaders. They were too busy coming up with fancy cheers, when all they needed was a lot of "WHOOOO" and "OH YEEEAAH!" I actually think purple was the loudest, but orange had the most spirit. I kept standing up and sitting down to cheer, and our wave was craaazy. Too bad that Andre, our pirate, didn't win anything for us. Ironically, purple won pretty much everything. And I was this close to having the awesome, breakdancing, bo wielding purple pirate. :( I liked watching the gypsy girl, because she was so flexible and strong. ;O I didn't think that the blue pirate was all that cute (Concert kids lied! >:|), but I'll admit that he had nice abs. x) Reshil, Jem, and Megan Furonda were sitting to my right, and the whole time they were shouting things like "I'm eighteen!" and "You can have some of my booty, baby!". And whenever the captain threatened to kill the princess, they'd scream "KILL THAT BITCH, I HATE HER!" LAWL. xD
The dinner was over at about 8:30, and we went straight to the hotel. I went to the room to put away some stuff and then went to Vivian's room again. For the rest of the night, we tried prank calling loads of people. Mainly, we only had two scripts, and one especially customized for Jasmin Melendez. >;) She didn't get it though, because her stupid phone died. The funniest and funnest person we prank called was Eric Armstrong, because he went along with it. Even though he hung up on us, he'd still pick up when we called him again. xD We also tried to prank call Mr. Farson (but he changed his number or something so it didn't work), Mark, Sashary, Marc, Rockaela, Kim, Jane, Anna, Shenay, Chloe, and some Wind Ensemble kids. It was a hilarious night~
I left waaay after Erika did, at like 10:57. I had to run to my room in order to make it back for room check. It was all good, and I had loads of fun. (:
