EDIT: Quote has been edited in now. Finally have some free time.
So, today's the big day. Williamsburg, Virginia! If you live around there, we're performing at Bruton High School at 6:30 PM tomorrow. Don't miss it!
Now what have I not already talked about?
Oh right. We also get to see this place that is made to look like the Jamestown settlement, which should be interesting. And then there's Busch Gardens on Saturday. I'm not a big fan of roller coasters, personally, but I'm going to ride any that don't go upside-down or backwards or unnecessarily high. I spelled unnecessarily right on my first try. I'M A GENIUS!!!!!
Today's going to just be a travel day, which could be fun or boring, depending on who you ask. Some kids have to study for their AP tests next week. I'm hoping it doesn't keep them from having a good time.
Well, like I said I have to leave soon. I can't post there because it's highly unlikely that I will have access to a computer. I'll update my twitter, so if you really care that much, check my twitter gadget here on teh blog or follow me @tim95f.
So Excited!

Break Almost Over? :(
Well, either way, happy earth day.
Now you're probably wondering what stories of awesomeness I have that occurred over the week. Well, actually, I've done a whole lot of nothing so far.
Or have I? I just got a text from my friend Kaitlyn (I've mentioned her before, she has the blog Life, Living, and Poetry) inviting me to go to the movies with some of our other friends. So I might not have another boring April Break at home. Excited face!
I also want to take the time to rave about this new CD I bought earlier this week. It's the soundtrack to the Broadway show American Idiot. Now, I was a little skeptical at first, but then a week or two ago the color guard performed to a song off of this (21 Guns, to be specific). And it. Was. AMAZING. I had to get it. Being a huge fan of Green Day, I still thought it would be weird without Billie Joe singing it, but I got it and then it was awesome! I hear it will be a movie, which is a must-see for me when it comes out. you're probably wondering why to get this if you already have the original album. Well, reason one: there are several songs on it that weren't on the original, like several off of "21st Century Breakdown," (including combining one with an American Idiot song to make it sound completely different (in a good way), but I don't want to say which so I don't spoil it), two B-sides released in Europe, and another song that Billie Joe wrote when he was 19 but never actually recorded. Reason two: the new voices make the songs sound amazing. Reason three: oh don't just take my word for it, either see the show or buy the CD. 5 stars!
Wow. I should be a critic. I should start a blog where I just review stuff. I'll think it over.

April Break!
The title explains it all... it's April break! I get this whole week off from school!
Now, I honestly don't know what I will be doing this week. I know I'm going to a Cake concert at the State Theater in Portland on Saturday, but that's pretty much the only thing set in stone so far. Might make plans.
There's really not that much to talk about, since I already went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about going to Williamsburg next week.
How do you like my new twitter gadget, by the way? Yeah, I know it doesn't fit in the box, but there's nothing I can really do about that. Unless there is.
I also want to post a quick link here to a skit I'm in on YouTube. About cookies. It's wonderful, only my brother Kevin is a terrible cameraman. My face isn't shown throughout like half of the video. Oh well.
Anyone know if there's a way to embed flash games on Blogspot? If not, I'll just put them somewhere else and put a link. If I didn't hate Newgrounds so much, I would upload it there...
Oh whatever.

I Crave Pizza Rolls.
You know, those things with sauce and cheese that you put in the microwave. I think I might make some after I finish this post.
So, I have a band concert tonight. We play at the junior high school, it's called band madness. It's the director's way of combining the high school and junior high bands. I play clarinet normally, so I'm not too nervous about it. But what I'm worried about is jazz band. I'm still not fully accustomed to playing the baritone sax, but I'm going to try my best. I'll have to play it in Williamsburg soon, which we will be judged on. More on that next. We're also playing for the junior high kids on Friday morning, getting me out of class for a while, lucky me.
Williamsburg. We're competing there soon, on the Thursday after April break we leave. Are YOU from Williamsburg, Virginia? If so, we compete at 6:30 at Bruton High School. Be there, sil vous plait!
What else should I talk about? Oh yeah. I think I'll tell you something about myself that most of you invisible readers do not already know. I'm pretty much obsessed with anything Slender Man related. I'm even thinking of starting one of those story blogs. Will post link here if I decide to do it.
Now, time for some pizza rolls...

3 shows Down, One To Go!
Sorry for not posting for so long! My life has been so busy lately!
Like Voldemort's soul, this post comes to you in seven parts!
First, I actually don't know how many parts this will be. John Green says that sometimes, and as a nerdfighter, I felt the need to quote him. Don't know what I'm talking about? Click this link and you will.
Second, and one of the reasons I haven't posted in a while. I had a math team state meet on Tuesday, and got out of class all day! Success face! We did alright. I think I lost us both relay rounds...
Third, I had dress rehearsals Monday and Tuesday night, and those went well!
Fourth! The show is going well! I have one last show tonight, and then I think I'm done for the year. What will I do now? Maybe driver's ed, or possibly a job!
Fifth, Another band event coming up! Band Madness! We have jazz band concert band, marching band, and even a combination of the high school and junior high band! It will be exciting! Next thursday night at wells jr high! Don't miss it!
Sixth, I'm trying to write a song, but it's a secret! Shh!
Seven. I can't think of a seventh part. Oh, wait, this is the seventh part! Victory is mine!
And eight, my closing, and my song quote. So it's REALLY like voldemort's soul: It comes to you in eight parts! I'm switching to movie quotes for a while because I'm running out of song quotes. I have a poster in my room that has the 101 greatest movie quotes of all time, that will last a while!

Day off!
No school today! Happy face!
Sorry for not posting in a while, I've been busy with school and band, and the play, which opens on Wednesday. We're just about ready, still got some dress rehearsals next week. We were supposed to rehearse today, but it got cancelled because mother nature, after two really nice almost-spring days, pulls her cruel idea of an April fools joke and gives us a snowstorm.
On a somewhat related note, I've been looking into the "Dark Side of the Rainbow" theory. For those of you nonexistent readers who don't know what that is, it's the theory that Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was written as an alternative soundtrack for the original 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz." I've actually googled it and found a whole Wikipedia page on it. I also found a site with it seemingly synced properly for this idea to work. And it kind of does! And no, I didn't do any drugs beforehand. Here's the video: Dark Side of the Rainbow.
Still Skeptical?
-As soon as Miss Gultch (wicked witch of the west) is seen riding her bike for the first time, the ringing from "Time" starts.
-One song includes the line "no one told you when to run" which is sung when Dorothy is running away from the farm with Toto.
There's a lot more, watch the video to see what i'm talking about. And I think a Pink Floyd song quote goes well with what I'm talking about.
