Lost Dog

I have the cutest little dachshund anyone could ask for but sometimes she can be a real pain.

See she really is adorable. 

Anyway this past week she's run away twice. The first time she was only gone for over night when I received a phone call in the morning from my best friend. She woke up to have my dog in her house and was very confused as to why she was there. It turns my friend's sister found not knowing it was my dog. They were going to take her to the pound until my friend told her sister it was my dog so I got her back that time. This time she ran away sometime on Friday. I called the pound the next day they said they didn't have her. I printed out posters of her and put them, because she doesn't have tag because she lost it. Later that evening my dad calls me saying he was looking at my dog's picture on our local pound's website. Now I can't get my dog until Tuesday because the pound is closed on Sunday and Monday. I did leave a message, and I might be able to get her tomorrow. I hope I can. She's my little cuddle buddy, and I want her back home. 

Changes

I recently had my last band concert of the year as well as last Jazz band concert. I don't have to get up so early anymore. In band though we still have to work on "Pomp and Circumstance" for graduation. I can't wait for this year to be over because that means I'll be a senior year which also means one last year of high school. Woot! I am in the process of making a decision on if I want to change schools for next year. I guess it sounds stupid to switch schools for one year, but my best friend is moving, and I didn't want to be stuck here without her. We're not going to the same school though. She's going to do online school and do acting stuff, and I'm going to high school in the next town over which is only twenty miles away. I won't know a single soul, but it will be a chance to start over and work on my social skills which are terrible. Also I'd be able to take better music classes there. I do want to go there I'm just scared about being the new kid as I imagine most would be. One of my friends' parents said it would be a stupid idea since I'd be spending extra money on gas,but my dad already works there so we'd just carpool together. I can carpool home with other people if I have to get back here earlier than my dad. I think it could be a great opportunity for me to enjoy my last year of high school.

The Boss

My dad is currently at a music festival see our Lord, Bruce Springsteen, in concert. My dad has gotten into the habit of calling Bruce lord because he thinks there will be churches dedicated to Bruce in the future. Anyway he got there six hours before had to play, and my dad was able to touch him, "Gave him attached boy pats on his shoulder," is what he said. He also rubbed Bruce's sweat on his girlfriend so she'd feel like she'd been touched too. He said he cried, but I'm not sure if he really although I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I think my dad was the only one who had a good day. I took the SATs, but I skipped ten questions by accident. I will have to take the damn thing again. I was already a wreck taking this one I can't imagine what I'll be like next time since it will be my last chance. My dad said I could just join a band if I mess up the next time. In reality I'll end up living at home unemployed if I mess up a second time. I really need to do well on this stupid test so I can pay for college because my parents are so generous as to not give me any money at all for college. I understand why they're not going to help me with college, but that doesn't mean I want to pay for college myself.

"Lip Off"

One of our local banks hosts a lip synching contest every year which I was completely unaware of until recently. Our jazz band was asked to play at this contest so there wouldn't be silence between the different groups. There was a group who did the song "Who you Gonna Call" I thought they should have own, but they didn't instead a group who did a song from Hairspray won. In addition to all of this hey had what they call a "Lip Off" which sounds extremely weird. It's basically like a dance off with lip synching. Anyways for this "Lip Off" they decided to get volunteer from the audience except that no one was volunteering. So they made our band director pick people from his jazz band. Ol and behold I was one of the misfortunate people to be picked for this undesirable task. My best friend, this other girl, and I were forced on stage to participate in the "Lip Off." I received all the terrible songs that I didn't know he lyrics to. Also I'm a terrible dancer so to add to my embarrassment everyone in our jazz band decide to take videos of us. One guy even told us he put the video on Facebook. He didn't though or else I would have been very unhappy. My friend and I decided we're going to pull a prank on our band director to get back at him for volunteering us.

Doggie Out The Window

When it gets warm enough outside I like to keep my window while I sleep. I like have to feel the breeze on my face. It's nice and refreshing especially at the end of the day. Every night both of my dogs sleep in my room which can be a good thing and a bad thing. I like to cuddle with my dog as I'm falling asleep, but the other dog won't sleep on my bed. That dog sleeps on the floor and snores louder than any human. The dog that sleeps in my bed likes to bark at nothing which only happens on occasion during the winter. There are some nights in the spring that she wakes me up four times in one night with her barking. She's been doing that recently, so I decided to take the screen out of my window. Now, anytime my dog barks I throw her out my window. She can still get back inside, because we have doggie door, but she can't come back in my room and keep barking. Don't worry my window is about five feet from the ground, and I drop her gently from my window. I don't want to hurt her just make her stop barking.

Guilty Pleasure #6

This week I will share with you my secret love for musicals. I haven't watched a musical in awhile. I think the last one was Les Misrables. I saw that in theaters wih my friend. I didn't really like it that much. It felt too rushed compared to the version with Liam Neeson. My all time favorite musical is Singin in the Rain. I love it so much. I really love the dancing in it, because of Gene Kelly. Also, it has great music, so does The Music Man. I think I would like The Sound of Music more if it just wasn't so long. I also would like My Fair Lady better if Eliza didn't stay with Henry Higgins. I honestly can't remember all of the musicals I've watched. I went through a huge phase in middle school when all is watched was musicals. My mom would have to work Friday nights, so I would stay home and watch all the musicals I could that were available on Netflix. I would eat Top Ramen and hot dogs and try to stay awake until my mom got home. She usually would get home around 11-11:30. Sometimes later depending on how late people would stay. She cooked for a bar/winery. It was a winery during the week, but every Friday night people would flock there for live music. It really was a nice place sometimes I would go to work with my mom and help her out. One of my getting paid under the table jobs I did with my mom when I was that age. It only stayed open like that every Friday night for a few years until the owners got divorced. Now every once in awhile it has live music.

Guilty Pleasure #5

I am not a person who spends an over excessive amount of time on the internet unless if I'm extremely bored. Even then I hardly ever know what to do on the internet besides blog. That last sentence was partially a lie. My guilty pleasure for this weeks is internet quizzes. I recently found a site that has multitudes of quizzes. If anyone else loves internet quizzes like me here is the site:
http://www.gotoquiz.com/
I took a quiz on there about how high-class are you. Apparently, I'm 0% high-class. I guess that makes sense I haven't ever met anyone who would be considered high-class. I do live in a small town. Anyways, I don't really believe these quizzes I just think it's a fun way to waste time.
