The ???? Marching Band Presents Their Productions of "Doctor Who"

Mayhaps I should rethink the marching band thing. Or at least set up a side practice as a show designer. I just got the killer idea of a Doctor Who show. I mean, the theme song's practically built for it! Even the one at the end has some variance to the first! Use the theme, then add a song from Chameleon Circuit or something that is Doctor Who related (Maybe write a theme for Rose or one of the other companions?) and finish with the credit version of the theme! Have your drummajors in trench coats and your flags in blue, with maybe some of them carrying around blue tinted flashlights..... Start out in formation as the TARDIS... Man I'm good! I send it in to Mr. Pham if I thought that he'd know what Doctor Who was!!!!!



EDIT:
I got the perfect middle song! THE SONG OF THE OOD! With a french horn doing the part of the woman's voice that does the melody! Ach, this is PERFECT!

Chivalry vs. Sexism

This is partially an observation and partially a rant.

There is a fella here who comes from East East Texas. (Basically, it's the South with a bit more twang in the accent.) This means he was raised in the good ole Suthun fashion. He will not allow a woman to hold a door open for him, and if he sees a gal headed for a door, he runs to open it. Ect.

I commented on this to a friend of mine, and her response was, "That is so sexist!"


That's when it occured to me. Chivalry is not dead. It is merely mistaken for sexism! So, as a girl, allow me to clarify.


Sexism looks down upon women as the weaker sex, viewing them as objects and silly. Men who behave like this aren't worth all the time in the world and should be avoided. Basically, this is when a guy says or does something that means, "You poor thing. Why don't you let me, a member of the superior sex, handle this?"

Chivalry, on the other hand, is when a man treats a woman like a lady. He shows respect and stands when she enters a room (Or something similar.) He holds doors open for her, tips his hat. In other words, chivalry treats a woman like the fairer sex, like a priceless treasure.


Unfortunately, men like this are getting harder to find. Which is sad, because I enjoy being treated like a lady. It makes me feel special, as though I'm someone of worth.

Hero

Sorry about the long wait. I actually forgot I had a blog. Heh heh...


Anyways, I've been doing some thinking. A really bad thing just happened to my brother. It was one of those it-was-a-mistake-and-yes-it's-unfair-but-there's-not-much-anyone-can-do things.

If this had happened to me, I'd've been raging and screaming. I'd be out for blood. Archie? He's being, well... He's being a man about it. He's upset, yes, but he's taking it in stride. He said that he understood where everyone was coming from and such.

And y'know... I really admire him for it. Not only has he brought certain rules to light in his school, but he's even managed to gain some respect from his peers from it.


And the weird part is, I almost knew something was gonna happen. The night before all of this exploded, I was pretty restless and worried, so as I was going to sleep, I said, "Well, come what may, Lord, and may it be for your Work."

And so it is. Good came out of bad, to use a cliche.


And the best part is that my brother's a hero to me. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have seen what sort of man my little brother is becoming.

And I'm proud of him. Love you, Archie!!!

I'm Screwed Beyond Words

So, as you have probably guessed from my facebook posts, I'm not doing so well in Algebra.


As a matter of fact, the chance of me failing (which will mean severe loss in scholarship) is very, very high. Why is this? BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS STUFF BEFORE!!!!!

The book, and my teacher, expects everyone to already have learned basic algebra. Well guess what! I haven't! Tada!!!!

So, I can't afford a tutor, and I can't do this on my own because I have no clue what's going on. Even if I pass all of the worksheets (which is becoming harder as we go along), I still don't know HOW to do everything, so I'm going to fail.

I'd drop the class, but even then the result is the same. Just without all of the fuss.

The part that kills me is that my previous advisor didn't even give me a choice. I didn't know that I could take other maths. So, I could be taking statistics or practical math and be passing, but instead I'm trapped in this hell-hole.


And I feel like it's my fault.

This just sucks. It just really, really sucks.

Costume

So, every year, I wonder and fret about what I'll dress up like for Halloween. (Gimme a break! I love dress-up!) The main problems stem from what is sold and how expensive it is. I mean, the least revealing are the most expensive. (More cloth, I imagine.)

My daddy actually gave me an idea! I have a simple black formal gown and several black heels, as well as a pearl necklace. What if I were to purchase a mardi gra mask and elbow length black gloves?

Score! This could work! I even have the option of purchasing a parisol. (Probably not gonna happen. I can dream though....)

Sorry folks

The 365 thing is pretty much shot, huh?


I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much. School is pretty busy, in fact, I have math I'm about to do. :( We've hit factoring. :'(


Anyone want to take my place?

This is a PROMISE

I have gained weight. I'm not going to flip out or go "Oh no! I've gained 11 pounds! I'm fat!" Mainly because I've been slightly underweight for the past few years.

So, in all, I'm not unduly worried. However, I do have a tummy-pooch that is very irritating. It makes me feel like I'm fat, even though I know I'm not. So, I aim to do something about it.


The main point of this late night post is that I am out of shape. My metabolism has finally slowed down, which means that the zero-exercising I've done in the past year has caught up with me. I have watched many of my friends and family struggle with both ends of the weight spectrum, and I know how hard it is. I don't want to be there. Ever.

I refuse to be obsessed with my weight, but I want to look nice in a swimsuit. So, I'm gonna start running again. Even though it means waking up early. I want to be in shape.


I need everyone who's reading this to keep me accountable. I am a very lazy person, and I know that unless pushed, I'm likely to quit before I even start.


Also, if anyone has any ideas for quick and relatively painless exercises that will flatten my stomache, I'll be forever gratefule if you could tell me.
