A-Flutter

Tonight, I saw for the first time in months, the girl who likes Star Wars and plays trombone. If you look in the archive for May, and look up the post entitled "Revelations," you can read the back story. I saw her in the cafet, and my heart was set a-flutter. Well, as a-flutter as one can get over a girl he barely knows. But yeah, I saw her and just wanted to go ask if she wanted to hang out. I didn't though. I politely said hi, and asked how she was, and she did the same, then we went our seperate ways. So, that was it. But yeah, what a great girl. I hope we can develop a friendship this year, I enjoy talking with her. She's a person who I find interesting, a girl who seems to be very open. What did I do today? Well, I went to the trombone social. That was fun, it seems like a good group of guys. Nice to see Benjamin. I missed his presence from Japan, and hope I can do some stuff with him this year. Ryan and I purchased a "loft kit" today, and proceeded to assemble it. Man, it was a big hassle. First of all, the wood was so strong, you couldn't use a regular screwdriver. So, we found some kids with a drill and used that. Then we needed a saw. Then the saw we were using broke. Then we used a hand saw, then a circular saw. Just, it sucked. But, we defeated it, and have our room mostly set up. We have the couch, the two Star Wars posters, the French flag, a Napoleon Dynamite poster, a Trek 1500 road bike, we're set. Plus the usual necessities such as TV, fridge, Xbox, DVD player, liberal amounts of pop, computers, food, etc, etc, etc. I played my trombone tonight. It felt awesome. I felt like I was playing very well for the condition I am in, practice wise. I think my orchestra audition will be solid. I practiced next to some first year trombonist, and I think I freaked him out. I was playing the big Getzen bass bone, and I was just going nuts, trying to evaluate my playing condition, doing lip slurs, low notes, scales, double tongueing, crap like that. The kid next to me just like, stopped playing. Whateva though. I have the best band locker, it can hold all 3 of my instruments, plus mutes and music. I was in Jacob's room for like 2 hours, watching him, Ben, and Ryan play Axis and Allies. I don't know what it is about that game that bores me so much. It should be a game I'm interested in. It's historical, strategic, a thinking man's game. But I just find it SO INCREDIBLY BORING, I can't even handle it. So yeah, that's that. I hope I can get all my affairs in order for class to start Wednesday. I feel like I'm in the calm before the storm. I don't know, it will be interesting to see how my classes go, in terms of time commitment and homework. I'm most worried for my music classes, and piano. But, I think I can handle it. I was pretty good at time management last year, and hope I can continue that. I also hope to be more social. Especially with "the girl." Well, I'm going to go right now. I'm talking to Kate, watching Sideways, and drinking Dr. Pepper. Everyone have a good night.
