Around the head Headbands

For the first time today, i am wearing a headband AROUND my head. That's right people, AROUND the head. Like the forehead. Not the top of the head. This was not my original incentive. i have a band concert tonight right? so i'm like oh why don't i curl my hair? just for fun? I go to curl my hair and the bottom looks good. but the top? it looks crappy. now my bangs had this cute little wing tip look to them which would look perfect with a headband in the right spot. so for the first time in my life, i took a stretchy headband out of my bathroom drawer. one that i never use. and i put it around my head people. now it looked kinda funny with my hair just down in curls, so i pinned it up and now i have succeeded in making myself look like a hippie! i took pictures on my phone just so i wouldn't lose the moment. i always thought they looked a little stupid and i could never pull it off. oh well. join the club everyone!

Dissappointment

Ok, HUGE setback for my summer plans. Today i got a call from my brother in-law to tell me about a meeting he had with corporate. In this meeting he found out that in texas for this summer, incite won't be providing female housing. So i was like "ok so i have to pay for my own apartment?" No. Guess what? i get to stay in mesa for another three freaking months! AAAAAAGH! i want OUT!!!!!!!! My dad probably won't let me go to work without doing the dishes! I'm even considering renting an apartment half a mile away form my house just to escape my parents! I'm dying! I even have to make ten sales pre season so i can keep the job. Fairytale job? Not so fairytale anymore. I'm even skipping out on my choir trip for this crapper of a job training weekend! Three more months with my parents. IDK if i'll be able to do it. I'll definitely need a car and maybe a license. (definitely a license) I was so looking forward to graduating and being gone. *sigh*

On a happier note, I'm coming closer and closer to my band trip. If i can get enough money of course. I'm still about $125 short. Hopefully i can get it together. Disneyland sounds great right now. Happiest place on earth right? Well, that is until your parents want you to go with them and you're the lone teenager in the bunch. That's right, My parents want to take me to disneyland and i don't want to go. Weird huh? I'll tell you why. One; these are my parents. Don't get me wrong. I love my mommy, but my dad drives me up the wall. Two; older people are slow and require more bathroom breaks, more pictures and much less fun. And three; the person that would closest in relation to me would be my two year old niece. Even to add on to that, we'd be going the weekend after i went to disneyland with all my high school friends. It would seem significantly less entertaining after going with a bunch of teenagers. Teenagers agree with me, teenagers are more fun, i'm more myself around them and i seem less like a loner/loser.

Right now, as you can possibly tell, i'm having a severe fit of teenage angst. The musical is taking up plenty of my time. I got home from practice today, and had to go right off to mutual ten minutes later. *sigh* Our director has no idea what she's doing! we're like 5 days behind because of her! She's unprepared, inexperienced and unqualified for the job. But she thinks she's right and refuses help! But there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Today a bunch of students and parents had a meeting with the principal of our school pretty much demanding a change. Good things happened in that meeting. I have the feeling we might actually finish this thing. I love being in the musical. Maybe i'm just too lazy. Speaking of laziness, i'm too lazy to write any more blog. The end

Becoming more than a minor much too soon.

Goodness, my english teacher is getting to me. I wrote my title and immediately the phrase "ALLITERATION" popped into my head. So anyways, i of course started this blog for the sole intention of having a way to whine and complain without annoying a real person. And believe me when I say, it is far too easy for me to annoy people. So what better thing to complain to than cyberspace?! I call it MINOR BANTERINGS. I'm pretty proud of the title. I'm a minor, and I'm bantering. Don't judge too soon though. You may be surprised I'm a rather mature writer. My first "banter" is on my prep work for college. I'm way too lazy to write essays, fill out net forms, get tax crap done and all of the butt sores that come with applying for college, but guess what i found?! I found a college in Arizona that is cheap, and pays full tuition for me to be in the marching band! How perfect is that?! As a hard core band member, this is a dream come true.

Even better than that, i have a job all set up for this summer where i'll be making bank! So when i arrive at EAC, i'll have plenty of money to keep me safe for a very long time! I can buy a car, a laptop, and maybe even a brand new saxophone! (that's my favorite part) And even better than THAT! I'm working with two of my best friends this summer! It's all working out quite smoothly considering I didn't do much to prepare. I take this as a sign that I'm making the right decisions. As a teenager, the easier things are for you, the better! Part of me is dreading leaving high school, but most of that worry was gone after I made an official decision on which college to go to. I mean, think about it. On one hand, I don't have to pay taxes, i can go to parties, I don't have to have a job, it's great! On the other hand, i can't leave the house without getting the dishes done, i can get grounded, i have a curfew, i can't drive, and i have to live with my parents.......by myself. Which gives me all the motivation in the world to move out of the house.
So right now, moving out waaaaay overpowers staying home. Big time.

I catch myself thinking about college all the time. It's all i think about. I think about college more than i think about boys. For me? That's saying a lot. I think about the apartment i'll have, the parties i'll go to, the car i'll drive, the people i'll meet, the band members i'll march with, the thrill of receiving my diploma, everything! Independence is calling to me. I don't care if i have to live in a cruddy apartment. It's going to be mine! I can choose when i want to clean things! I even look forward to those chores and responsibilities just because i'll be doing them on my own free will! Look out world! Bonnie's coming! Marriage? That's way in the future. Any boy i could even think about marrying should either be leaving on his mission soon, or is on one now. Right now, i just want to savor the taste of being an independent woman. Psh! all this and i'm not even eighteen yet. I'll be a minor up until i'm setting foot in my own apartment door. I think starting life off early is good for you. It helps to get things out of the way before your age hits you in the face. Open up your arms to the world everyone! You might just find out you like it.
