candylandI LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!! *does a happy jig*
I survived the recital. It went really, really well! Cory is a truly awesome bass trombone player, and the music he played was really fun to listen to. And I 'membered all my Italian words, and I only messed up my words once, but other words came out of my mouth instead, and it was in German so nobody knew =DD And most of it came out sounding pretty good *cheers*
My parents came and brought my great-aunt with them, and then my aunt and uncle and one of my cousins came--she's in sixth grade. And my sister and a LOT of my friends came, too! I felt bad for Cory, 'cause most of his friends left to go see the Iowa basketball game. Cory's a really mature guy, and if it were my friends, I would have told them to go to the game too...but still...oh well, not my place. At least we had a pretty decent-sized audience.
And I got lotsa flowers!! *heart heart heart* Seriously--I didn't have a free hand to hug people! *looks at all the pretties around the room* It makes me so happy! =DDD Afterwards, Mommy and Daddy and Aunt Aggie took me out to Taco John's for dinner ('cause I hadn't eaten yet), and...well, I'm a regular at the TJ's here in town. Like, a couple of the people there know my face and know my order by heart. So I walked in, and the lady walked to the counter and said, "Okay, a number three with chicken, medium-sized..." My parents just cracked up. I was slightly embarrassed...but it was all good =D
Then I came back to my room, pulled on my PJs, crawled into bed...and wound up zonking sometime between midnight and one AM, not exactly sure when. Woke up, it was almost noon, and my room was cold, but I was nice and warm under Cuddles, my beloved 'lectric blankie (yay for naming inanimate objects!!).
I'm also in a very good mood because I went to the Buddhist temple again...and there was actually a service going on. So I've got what I need for my paper...but it was also very interesting to see the service in progress. I was asked to leave at a certain part because that's only for people of the faith, but she invited me to come back on Monday--she said she was so pleased that I was taking an interest in learning about other faiths. I commented on the beauty of the temple (the altar to the Buddha is gorgeous), and she told me to bring a camera if I wanted to take pictures. And it's right during my free hour on Monday, too ♥
The rest of today...it's just been uber-boring, not gonna lie. So many people are gone this weekend--the Iowa game, there's a retreat going on, and I think a few other organizations have things happening this weekend. So it's very quiet, and uber-boring. Yeah, really bored.
*puppy dog eyes at everyone* Pleeeeeeeease somebody get online and talk to meeeeeeeee...don't know if I'll have anything really interesting to talk about, but gaaaaah the boredom is eating me!! I'm almost bored enough to...start on my homework *hangs head* It's so horrible...

Date: 2006-11-12 03:07 am (UTC)Poor Cory. Yeah, while he may be mature enough to tell them to go, it seems to me that they shouldn't have gone. XD; They should have been willing to stay and see him perform.
That just kinda hits home for me, because hardly anyone was able to come to my high school graduation. Most of them were busy and whatnot, but I have to admit that if the conflict was something not as pressing (like a game they wanted to watch), I'd hope that they'd find it more important to come to my thing. XD;
Yay for getting sleep! A nice long rest sounds lovely. X3 With my insomnia problems, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep the next night if I had a good sleep like that.

Date: 2006-11-12 05:05 am (UTC)Yeah...but at the same time, he did the mature thing. Can't blame him for that...see, over the last few years my sister was in high school while I was in college. So if there was a conflict between my stuff and my sister's stuff, they would generally not come see me. My dad made the comment that I didn't mind, and Mom had to correct him that I did mind, but I understood.
The problem with my nice long sleep was the fact that I had to take Nyquil to get to sleep. I swear I'm going to develop a dependency... *sigh* But I felt great when I woke up! I have awful insomnia, too *huggles*

Date: 2006-11-12 05:38 am (UTC)I have often thought that I may have to resort to Nyquil and whatnot to sleep as well! And I have hoped that I shall not have to, not just for reasons of addictions/dependencies, but also side effects. ^^ **hugs back.**

Date: 2006-11-12 05:46 am (UTC)This is the first time I've had to resort to Nyquil to get to sleep. I used the gel-caps...I foresee it happening again, if only to get myself back on my sleep schedule by Monday >.> Gaaaaaah...this is not good...

Date: 2006-11-12 05:52 am (UTC)Indeed, getting the sleep schedule all turned around is not good at all. XD;
