Long Weekend

Now, I've been busy still, but hopefully I'll be posting more often soon. Now, some things to talk about. Like my exciting life and stuff.

Monday's Memorial Day! You rock troops, for giving us a long weekend. And serving the country's awesome too. So yeah, you rock.

Me? I rock too. I'm marching in two parades on Monday and I barely remember the music. Wish me luck. I want ice cream, because it has been really warm lately, so hopefully it won't rain or anything, because the band goes to get ice cream after the parade.

Speaking of ice cream, my dad's starting to make some as I'm typing this. It's gonna be Root Beer flavor, so if you've seen the name of my blog you know I'm excited. It'll probably be ready by tomorrow or Sunday.

Making ice cream is sort of a hobby of my dad's, he even blogs about it at Scott's Scoop. Check it out.

Speaking of checking things out, check out my new video game commentary channel on YouTube. It's called The Fiery Squirrel. You should probably check out the rest of Nom Nom Network too. And Muffin Studios.

Speaking of speaking of things, I'm done advertising myself and my brothers' videos, so you can actually read this part.

I like root beer. And ice cream. And hopefully root beer ice cream.

The End of the World and Wild Mice

I'll start with the wild mice part. I went to funtown today with the math team, it was physics day there, but the only thing physics related for me at least was gravity, momentum, and centrifugal force from riding the wild mouse nine times. Because I'm awesome. There's a lot of other good rides there too, and I'll ride almost anything that's not a roller coaster. My taste in rides changes *snaps fingers* just like that.

World ends tomorrow, make sure to wear clean underwear. To be honest, I don't buy into this whole rapture thing. Or religion in general. I just have trouble believing things that can't be proven. So I better get ready to be eaten by demons.

Not Feeling So Hot

Yeah, I think it's probably allergies, I don't have a fever. I had better feel better by tomorrow, because the drama club's going to Portland to see a play. Should be fun.


So yeah. Life. I have one. The main reasons I haven't been posting are because I've had a lot of homework, for one. I also have started taking driver's ed. I drive for the first time on Friday, so if you live near me, I advise you to stay off the road. 


Speaking of Friday, did anyone see Glee last night? They made that song sound kind of good. The lyrics still suck, but it's better with a better singer, because if you haven't noticed this already, Rebecca Black CAN'T F**KING SING.


I also want to rave about this awesome game I got last week. It's called Minecraft. Basically what you do is you mine resources and you build stuff and you kill bad guys and it. Is. AMAZERING!


So, that's pretty much it for now. I'll post again when I have something worth talking about.

Band Geek Road Trip Recap

EDIT WHICH BECOMES ENTIRE POST: Finally have the time to fill this in.

First day was all travel, but still some cool stuff to talk about. The bus had a DVD player built in, so we watched a few movies, like Inception, which is like one of my favorites out there. We also stopped at a few rest stops on the way, like at this mall in Connecticut where they had a merry-go-round. Which I rode. Don't be hatin'. Now, we had a few of these, but we finally got there around like 11:30 at night and went straight up to the hotel rooms.

Next day was Jamestown settlement. They had all kinds of things, like what the colony looked like, a bunch of ship replicas, and even someone demonstrating how to use a musket. We took pictures, but I forgot my camera, and they probably won't end up anywhere but Facebook. I will not link to my Facebook page because I don't want to be added by random strangers. And then there was lunch. And then we went to the REAL Jamestown. Where they have the actual buildings still. It's a national park, you know. And my friend Maddie bought a Native American headdress, and gave us all Native American names. Call me Fiery Squirrel Who Flies. And then we performed and did really well. Fourth in Concert Band, Third in Jazz Band.

Day three. Busch Gardens. Epic. Except waiting while my group went on all the roller coasters. Like when the Loch Ness Monster broke down, I was stuck outside with the backpacks for like two hours. The awards ceremony was even inside the park. Oh yeah! There was a Band Competition during the trip! Now may be a good time to mention that we got first in Parade Band. Busch Gardens is awesome. I won't deny it.

Fourth day had as little to report as the first. Even less. We just came home.

Yesterday I got out of school because I was tired I mean SICK. I WAS SICK. So I worked on this big stressful paper that's due tomorrow, and got it done.

Now for some closing things. I'm starting driver's ed next week and I'm super excited. I'm gonna learn to drive a car, ho can I not be excited?

And I'll be getting serious about being a critic, as soon as I find something released recently enough to review. I'll make a separate blog for that when I feel like it.
