OK, here's the full (ish) post I promised you. By you, I mean whoever is reading this blog, which to tell the truth is not many. Anyhoo, shall I talk about myself? Wait, that sounds narcissistic...OK, I need to stop typing my thoughts right out, otherwise I sound more and more like the crazy psychotic person that I am.
I hope those who have gotten the chance to hear it like my random playlist. To expound upon it for a second, in addition to what I already said about it in my last post, it is truly a very strange and intriguing smorgasbord-thing. You may notice that I even have a sizable amount of music from other languages/countries on there...as far I can tell, I put several Spanish songs, a few ones in Portugese (I wanted more that I have on iTunes, but the playlist.com thing couldn't find them), and one or two in French. My reason for being a fan of Spanish music (at least certain songs/sub-genres of it) is pretty simple: I've grown up listening to music in Spanish. My mom was born in Ecuador, and that's her music. By this point, of course, I've ended up liking Latin music that she either hates or doesn't really know at all, but I still like a good chunk of her music, and the reason I like so much of Spanish music now is because it's part of who I am. As for the Portugese music, a lot of it is jazz or jazz-related, as most foreign-language jazz songs are Latin jazz ones in Portugese. By jazz-related, there is some music that I have from artists from places like Brazil, where it's not jazz music but rather really good music that has some roots in jazz or something. The French music is just random. The one French song I have on my playlist here is by someone who is now the First Lady of France (her name is Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, but she goes by Carla Bruni on her CDs, I think. She used to be a model, randomly). Cool, huh? (Maybe not that cool to you, but I think it is.) I don't even know how I found the French music I have, I think because of "Ratatouille," oddly enough (I really liked the random song in there). So that's kind of inexplicable, but that's how I am--very inexplicable.
Wow, I spent a long time talking about my music, much longer than I thought, and definitely much longer than a second. I should probably get to the part where my blog entry title actually applies, shouldn't I? Well, I was already expecting this weekend to be somewhat busy to begin with, what with Homecoming and what not. But there were a few extra events that threw more craziness into the mix...first, I fell asleep on my bed until about 11:40 last night without doing homework, due to some family arguments that we had. Then, when I woke up, my mom called and informed me that she was at the hospital, because her chest was hurting. Needless to say, that freaked me out a bit...and though she said she was OK and they were just doing tests, I was even more distracted from my homework and ended up staying up until about 3:30, at which time my mom came home and me and her friend who had taken her to the hospital helped her in, as she was on heavy pain medication. On top of that, I found out a few minutes before I went to bed that my dad didn't even know she went to the hospital, and was also trying to do what I could to work out rides for school the next morning. I decided to skip A Hour (for probably the first purposeful, self-caused time in my 3 years of high school life) to get some sleep (and not have to go to evil Calculus).
This morning was kind of stressful still, but not as scary as the night before...though my dad kind of drove me crazy a bit, as he decided to still go to work because he had an interview today, and neglected to call one of our carpool drivers to ask her if she could pick the other two people in my carpool up. Me and my sister did still get to school, however, getting a ride from someone, though my other sister and brother had to stay home because they wouldn't get ready.
On a happier (and hopefully shorter) note, my day at school was fun-ish. I won't talk about it really at all, but after school came the Homecoming Parade! I had a blast on the Choir float, and to tell the truth, though our float was slightly less elaborate, I think I had a bit more fun this time around. We sang random songs from musicals ("Under The Sea" and "Seize The Day," to name a few), cheered a lot ("Go Choir!...Choir! Choir! Choir!"), danced around, goofed off, and threw candy to smiling children. I loved it, though now I have about a negative seventy billion energy level, because the sun sucks energy. I ended up going home after the parade instead of staying for the carnival this year, mainly because I didn't really have any booth to help with this time around, and me performing my song from the Variety Show kind of fell through. (They didn't have a piano, as far as I could tell, and I kind of need one for my song. Along with about 90% of the other people who told Mrs. Jones they would perform at the Carnival. So I wonder how that turned out.) As of now, I'm going against my better judgment and hatred of football and actually planning to go to the Homecoming game with friends. Hopefully I'll have fun there...I probably will if I concentrate more on hanging out with people that are fun rather than the intensely boring and drawn-out football-game aspect of it. (I cannot stand watching football games, they bore me to tears. Oddly enough, I enjoy playing "Madden," mainly because I make it fun with my randomness and I'm in control of how stinking long the game is.) And of course, tomorrow is the Homecoming Dance, my first (and last high-school) one! I'm going with Rachel Ellsworth and a group with 5 other couples. I'm excited and I'm looking forward to it! Of course, before that, our family's going to clean the church in the morning, and I said I would mow the lawn (bleh), which adds another two items to my insane weekend. Oh, joy, Brandon typed sarcastically.
This was probably my longest post ever. I hope I didn't bore anyone. I think I just needed to pour my thoughts out right now, and unfortunately for any readers with a short attention span, they were really long and rambly thoughts. Anyways, hopefully next time I won't drag on so much. I hope you enjoy my awesome playlist, and cheese out! :)
