Looking back at the sunsets on the eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
I GOT SOUL BUT I'M NOT A SOLDIER
...the killers
SO GUESS WHAT. i went to that band practice. i met some cool kids and saw some cool kids that i already knew. matt and richy, the brothers, the guitarist and the drummer, have suuch awesome parents! i mean.. what kind of parent lets their kid take over the livingroom (or something) and designates it to their kids. i mean.... they were practicing SOO loud it was crazzzy. i was liek "wow my mom would NEVER go for this" haha. theyre like 'WOO HOOO" not even complaining about the noise. it was insaneee. everyones sooo good. i was like "whoa i feel like an underachiever" hahaha and they know a bunch of those power songs. ya know, the ones with guitar solos and wicked strong beginnings and stuff. its soo cool. well if you cant tell already i had a blast. and yeah.. i was there to sing and obviuosly, they expected me too. i wiicked didnt wanna but i didnt wanna say that cuz i mean.. thats what i was there for. so after procrastinating for about 20 minutes i finally gave in and sung No Doubt 'dont speak' which was alright i guess. a bunch of my notes were flat, and like.. i knew it. haha cuz the mic's were sooo loud i was like "AHH SHOOT EVERYONE CAN HEAR ME SCREW UP" but thankfully no one said anything. not that i expected them too, but they were all just so supportive and i was like "THANK YOU GOD" hahahah. and then they did californication which i didnt do cuz i dont have the lyrics memorized and man can they play. haha sorry im just like. . in awe. but yeah it was great. and then everyones parents showed up, yes, including mine and matts mom carolin was like "OO RACHEL SING THAT NO DOUBT SONG FOR YOUR MOM" and i was like "ehhhh umm.." but yeah i ended up doing that and i could see my mom in the kitchen like.. waving and dancing and stuff and i was just thinkin to myself "OH GOODNESS" hahaha. but we were all laughin and having a partaaay. well carolin and my mom were talkin about which songs we could do, cuz, i'm a girl so some songs it just wouldnt make sense to sing. like are you gonna be my girl. so theyre liek "oo pat benetar!!" and i would SO go for that. i mean.. i know allll her songs like the back of my hand. but now i just gotta talk to everyone else and like.. force the idea upon them. well.. not FORCE. i mean, if i bring it up i just hope they say its ok. hahah. i have to learn a bunch. cuz they already know how to play some, so i made up a list of all the songs i have to learn. i have a horrible memory. great. just great. this is going to be interesting. too bad i cant just stand up on the stage with a packet and read em off hahah. that would be convienent, yet, thats not how we run things evidently.
ok then kris came over today! since i spent a ton of time with my dad this week i cancelled plans for today cuz kris is FINALLY back from his trip. at first he said he couldnt hang so i was prettyy bummmed. but then things ended up working out and he got a ride.so after about almost an hour we decided that UNO was the game we were gonna play. then after a while of swearing under my breath at the fricken video player thing. i mean.. VCR. haah wow i totalllyy just blanked out on that word for a second, kris finnally somehow got it to work. and we ended up watching uno pelicula favorita of mine.. JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS. and that was GREAAT. we gave up on uno after a while. actually.. kris gav eup on uno cuz hes a sore loserrr. haha he won one game and erica won two. .. notice my name isnt in that bunch. i didnt win any but still played. so after that erica was beating him up or something, i dont really knwo what was going on, cuz i was out of the room at the time. it was prertty funny thuogh. so then kris got picked up as soon as the movie was ending.
