so today. yes. today.
so believe me it began terribly. i had forgotten my oboe at school yesterday, which is deliriously stupid and i'd left it in science... probably. oh well homeroom was really funny actually. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa now that i think about it. this really frightening guy who had, the year before, supposedly stalked this girl i know and the funniness involved him (i think his name is ... nathan?) and davida and this will be my third year taking band with her. she's very funny and she's got this huge giggle. and nathan's like a year older than everyone else in homeroom but he didn't feel like changing schedules so he's in that one. but oh well. anyway.... i decided it wouldn't be funny to transcribe it. just imagine it. davida, nathan, and hot pink toenails.
see. it would've crashed and burned. but uh in other news.... *cough cough*
ok so the day wasn't going well and i was heading for band and christen foehring. dammit. i realised i never blogged about that. oh well. i DID say that she basically adopted me but when she called a couple weeks ago, she said she could talk to her friend on the tech play crew thingie and get me on there and i was like 'oh that's cool' and i had no fucking idea what they did.
and then today there was an announcement that the school's gonna do a play of 'ten little indians' by agatha christie and i just remembered that tech thing and christen caught me in the hallway on my way to band.
christen: alanna.
alanna: hi
christen: take this
alanna: ok? *takes note thingie*
and i walked all the way to band which is very far away and squished this teeny note in my palm and upon my arrival i thereby read the following:::
Alanna-
Hey girl! I don't know if you got my email Monday night but there is a tech meeting after school today that is very important. It won't be long - but if you go, my friend Frix can get you on stage crew. The meeting is either on stage in the auditorium or Mrs reagon's room. I'd be glad to walk you there. So, please find me @ lunch. Ishould be in the cafeteria at a table near the windows. Frix already knows you are coming to he'll be looking for you. See you at lunch & we can make plans, ok?
<3 ya,
Christen

so i was like ghlKSDHLKSeoiKS LDGKALHGKK dksldkghlahsk dOIEKskdgak and you know i have never done anything extracurricular except for uhm advanced recorder in the sixth grade. yay for that. only not really. but anyway i showed it to katherine and she was like 'ohh that would be so cool' and i'm like 'WHAT THE FUCK DOES TECH CREW DO' and she had no idea but we decided to go find christen together at lunch. so band went by and i didn't play and mr. snell didn't act mad, as usual, and he didn't act anything and i don't like him at all. and then some. so after band katherine and i went to english and i did not have a good time because we're supposed to be writing these poem thingies with word and picture clippings from magazines and i just don't like it. because its like we're aiming to win the stupid contest and the point is just to win the stupid contest and i hate it and i hate anything like that and i don't like ms. kitts. but anyway. so then we went to lunch and as usual katherine and i were the first people in the cafeteria because ms. kitts's classroom is in the elementary building and there's not a bell or anything there so she just sends us out whenever but anyway. katherine was like 'i'm supposed to go to my locker' and she left and i sat there and everyone came minus katherine and i went alsdkghlKHDLAHLDHklhalksdhg and i didn't wanna go talk to christen alone with all her intimidating older friends and whatnot. so i waited 3270589205982 years for katherine even though i only got half of my bagel eaten and then she appeared and apparently her locker was jammed but we went to find christen anyway and she looked uhm...... 'engaged' when we got there so we just sort of stood there and looked around and whatnot until she addressed our presence. but uhm so anyway she is really in charge of things and she made all the plans and all i had to do was answer questions and do what she told me. so i went to call my mom and katherine and jackie, who she shares a locker with, went to work that out i guess. and then i had to wait FOREVER to use the phone and some girl talked to her boyfriend and some guy spent like t23y0537295808392508 years talking to who the hell knows. but anyway. by the time i finally got to the phone the bell was ringing i called my dad and talked to him like five seconds. but anyway. the rest of the day went by normally so i don't have to talk about that. but uhm anyway. i DID find my oboe in science though. and we got two new students in class. but anyway. i met christen by her locker and some other guy and i got introduced to him and i was carrying like 320583209 things but i shook his hand anyway and it was terrifying. and then we went down the stairs and walked outside and back to the main building and so on and so forth and suddenly we were there and i went X_X and christen practically pushed me through the door and i'm like 'LASKHDGL;AKHDL;ASDH'
christen: see that girl in black over there
alanna: no
christen: .... KIM!! KIIIIIIIIMMMMM!!! [<- the loudest thing ever]
everyone in the room: .......
alanna: O_O
christen: KIM!!!!
kim: *finally comes over*
christen: ok kim this is alanna.
kim: hi alanna
alanna: hi
christen: and you're supposed to introduce her to Frix and uhm take care of her.
alanna: *eternal nervousness*
kim: ok what was the name again. i'm like *crazy motion thingies*
christen: alanna.
kim: alanna. right. ok.
and then christen disappeared from existence and we walked in and i got introduced to frix who looked at me as though i was a squashed roach and then i saw that this girl cece was there who i've known a while and i'm not sure if she knew exactly what 'TECH CREW' meant either but uhm so we stood around and signed our names on this little piece of paper and everyone else was older than us and katherine hadn't shown up and everyone was just hanging out and being goofy and uhm anyway. so then frix said that not everyone was gonna actually be on the stage crew for this play, but that we could try again later, etc. etc. and he said he would post whoever 'got in' on the bulletin board and whatnot and then he asked if so-and-so had any words to say and she stood on this 'soapbox' thing just to look really cool or something and she didnt have anything to say and then he asked did laura have anything to say? and she asked to stand on the soapbox and no she couldnt because the other girl wouldn't get off and then uhm she just said that 'TECH THIS YEAR IS GONNA FUCKING RULE' and 'sorry mrs. reagan' and then we sort of milled out and then suddenly there was katherine and she said she didn't even wanna do it and like thirty minutes later i realised that i'd been like ASSURED a spot on the fucking thing and i didn't really like that but i wouldn't have tried to do it again i think. i'm not determined or anything. but anyway. it would be more comforting if i wasn't on it. so anyway we left and i was walking along and i heard this voice behind me go 'did you make tech?' and i turned around and it was christen's friend and i think his name was chris or something but it was the one whose hand i shook and i told him 'i don't know.. we just sorta signed our names and left' and he went 'well good luck' and ran away and then i went home. and uhm that was my day.
