So I'm going to purgatory. Yay. I've been a good boy.

Hey, I'm really mad at myself. I keep procrastinating. Oh well. At least I have the weekend to do my homework. I think.

Anyway, here is the real reason I am posting again. If anyone reads this and knows where I can get Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes off the internet for free (I can't download them, school pretty much blocked file sharing programs), please let me know! I have 5 episodes so far. I need the rest! It's my new obsession.

Not listening to music right now but I know how far I am
#215 Is It Love ~ Mr. Mister

I'm still bored, so I'm going to write another entry with some thoughts.

What do I have to do before next week? I have to transcribe two journals from notes in notebooks, and write one paper on a book, and meet with Dr. Forbes. Monday I have my piano final. And my last lesson with Dan. That is going to suck. Dan has seriously helped me SO MUCH and I'm really mixed on him leaving; on one hand, it's a great opportunity for him, both jobwise and personally because then he can settle down and have kids. On the other hand, he won't be here helping people. SO MANY have said that he has been awesome. I'm going to remember every single thing he taught me. He taught me more than Cynthia did, and when I left school last year I thought SHE taught me a lot. In fact, Dan has taught me so much more. At least I'm working with Terry Stone next year. He's good.

I'm just pondering my job opportunities for the summer. The music festival is a lock; I'm for sure working there again. Which is good. It was a fun job surrounding me with something I love doing and it's good money. The thing is May, June and July I ahve no set job which really sucks because jobs are so scarce in GB right now. Mom is going to pay me for mowing the lawn. UWGB has NEVER gotten back to me about working the music camps which really pisses me off. Hopefully they will give me a job, or Mom will talk to Mark about letting me work for him for a while because that pays really good money as well. I could use that job. Seriously, I don't know if I will have a job here because I don't really have a means for transportation. I'm going to try working at KFAC as an usher or something. If that doesn't work out, I"m going to try getting a job at someplace walking distance; maybe Dollar General or something. Hey at least it's money. And experience that will look good on my resume.

I'm still psyched about seeing FFH! That's a week and a half away and me and Steph can't stop talking about it.

#210 The Revealing Science of God ~ Yes

It's nice out, but we are under a severe thunderstorm watch. Wonder if it will storm. I had my choir audition today, and as last year it went really well, but I just hope that the shortness of it doesn't mean anything; I want to be in UChoir so bad next year and if I'm not I will throw a fit. It wouldn't be fair if I wasn't called back, because my choir voice is totally different than my solo voice, and I want to show I can blend. I want to be in the top choir. All my friends are in it. And there is that sense of community the other choirs don't have. Oh well. I also gave blood today. It went well. Finally I got to give blood.

MILLIKIN NEEDS TO TURN ON THEIR DAMN AIR CONDITIONING NOW. I overslept through my alarm AGAIN. I'm just thinking it's because of the heat and lack of air circulation. I couldn't get to sleep last night because it was so hot and humid. I HATE this, and I'm thinking that Dr. Keagle thinks that I'm slacking off right now. Hopefully I'll wake up for Friday to explain to him what has been happening, and hopefully by that time the AC will be on. Grrr.

#201 Say the Words (Now) ~ DC Talk

Not very excited for the group presentation I have to do Monday. God we are so unprepared. Hopefully everyone will do their part wholly.

HOPEFULLY.

#177 One ~ U2

I wish I had posted this two hours ago, but my blog is now 1 year and 1 day old. Happy birthday.

I may have a virus on my computer; the lovgate virus. I keep getting these things mcafee catches about "This file has the lovgate virus and has been deleted." So I"m thinking there must be something larger in this. So I'm using a different program designed specifically to detect that virus.

I'm back now. Too short of a break, if you ask me.

Something is wrong with my computer, I think. Everything seems to be really slow to start up. Even when I turn on my computer, I have to press control-alt-delete to get things going. I scanned, defragged, and virus-scanned my computer to get rid of the problem but it is still there. Crap.

Well, I'm home. In less than three hours, it will be my golden birthday. No longer will I have the word "teen" pasted on at the end of my age, as it has for the last seven years. It's going to be weird. What sucks having your birthday on Easter is that you can't do anything with anyone, since everything is closed and all your friends are spending time with their families. But hey. NEXT year, I'll be 21, so I will finally drink without feeling guilty but I'm not going to get drunk (although I'm wondering what that will be like).

Anyway, we are going to play Rook now, and after that maybe I'll see if Kyle is doing anything; unfortunately, it's too late to go to a movie now, most movies don't start after ten. Maybe we can rent a movie and hang out or something. Or maybe go out. I don't know. To be honest, even though I just got here Thursday night, I REALLY want to do something that doesn't involve my immediate family. I was stuck at college the entire time, and now that I am home, I'm STUCK AT HOME. Which really sucks.

What sucks about being 20 is that you are still a year away from being totally independant. I mean, I won't have a car on campus until spring semester next year, because of that stupid accident I was in and stuff. So I can never go out. I never go out with friends, because I almost never know what's going on, and by the time I know it's too late. Almost no one ever invites me to a party or tells me they are going out want to come or anything like that. I feel secluded. Which sucks.

OK. Choir is over for the year. So now I"m prepping for my audition. I need to NAIL IT so I can be in UChoir. After last years big dissapointment, I am not going to be sure of anything ever again. Garrett said I won't be in UChoir because he heard some people say that Dr. Holmes doesn't think I should be in it. Well, I'm going to be optimistic and hope that I can still be in it. I hope he saw how committed I was for Concert Choir, even though I was in the minority, it seemed. When I get back I"m going to ask around what people did for their auditions to have them be in UChoir. Because I HAVE to be in it. I'm a choir geek at heart and I need that sense of choir community. I didn't have that in Concert Choir because the vast majority of the people in that choir didn't want to be there, or thought that because it was Concert Choir they didn't need to commit. Or maybe it was because we were so big...

Anyway, happy last day of being a teen day to me :)

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

THE 11TH LEFT BEHIND BOOK IS OUT!!! I NEED TO FINISH THE REMNANT!!! I HAVE TO READ ARMAGEDDON!!! :(:(:( I had no idea that this was out now! I just saw Zack had it and I'm like WHERE DID YOU GET THIS and he's like "it was released last week" and wow. So now this weekend, I'm going to try and finish the book, and buy Armageddon.

Today is Aria's birthday. Happy birthday.

OH I forgot to say it was so beautiful today! I sat outside and listened to The Age of Anxiety while looking at the score. I was out there for like an hour; I wonder if I got some color. I think I did. Now I have to either work on my paper or practice my conducting. And now the main reason why I posted again so soon:

#155 Subdivisions ~ Rush :)

Out concert went really well last night. Now I have another concert tomorrow for Vocal Jazz. So I hope that goes well. I have to get back to doing my paper really soon; I studied a little more today and have a little more insight as what to do. I am going to read the ago of anxiety tonight. So I hope I get it.

#154 The Man in the Green Shirt ~ Weather Report

Last night was AWESOME. IV had a game night, and we played Mafia. OH MAN I LOVE THAT GAME!!! So I played mafia for about 5 1/2 hours last night. It was so much fun. I was Mafia like 4 times it was hilarious. I know it's 10:30 in the morning but I SO want to play again. It was hilarious how everyone was accusing everybody of being mafia. I learned quickly that it's better to stay a little more quiet, and even form alliances. People were forming trust bonds, touching each other so they could vouch for each other not being mafia. One game got down to 4 people. It was a REALLY close game that time. But it took forever. I was mafia that game but I was voted off, and I was hoping my mafia partner would win and she almost did (she was SO GOOD). Around 11 some people left and we had to move because we can't be very loud in Oakland 2 lounge because there are rooms on that floor,so we moved to Hessler, and then we ordered pizza. After playing what seemed like the longest game of Mafia, we got the pizza. We ate, but we had a scare when Jen started choking. Caleb saved her life. God was in there last night. But after that we played mafia again and it was just so much fun.

I'm going to see FFH! They are coming to Millikin May 10th! Unfortunately, I can't get tickets at the box office, which I think is kind of stupid. So I either have to get them online or from the radio station (I have no idea where it is) so I'm going to get them online. Me and Stephanie are going to get there really early so we are in the front row. It's going to be so much fun.

My goals for today are to get some more of my paper done, finish my program notes, clean my room at least a little, maybe go to the store, but make sure I'm not sitting at the computer all day.

#101 Your Love ~ The Outfield

UPDATE: THE TV WORKS NOW!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAY!!!
#96 Don't You Forget About Me ~ Simple Minds

UPDATE: Now the channel numbers show up, and there's sound, but still no picture. I'm getting closer... hopefully all will be fine really soon.

#51 Ethereal Mood ~ Jean Luc Ponty

UPDATE: I kept blow-drying into the TV, and finally the TV stays on, and has sound, but no picture. So I'm going to keep trying to blow dry into the TV. Hopefully the bulbs didnt burn or anything... and if the TV IS unfixable without taking it apart I will be mad. And hopefully Garrett won't take it too hard, I mean after all he DID get this TV for free...

#44 YYZ ~ Rush

Forgot about this morning. My bad. OK. Garrett got carnations for his role in Jekyll and Hyde, and he didn't have a vase, so he put it in the toothbrush holder, and then set it on top of the TV. It's fallen like three times already, so you'd think he'd change the location. No. He keeps it on top of the TV. I'm not saying that it's his fault for what happened this morning, but the thing is it's just not a stable place to be putting flowers.

The flowers spilled backwards while I was trying to wipe off the layer of dust that settled on the TV monitor. Not much water fell out. It's was more of an annoyance. But when I turned the TV on, it looked like a widescreen movie but a white screen. Then the back of the TV started to smoke a little. I turned the TV off and was like SHIT. I BROKE THE TV. So I'm trying to blow-dry out the water and stuff. Wish me luck.

#42 Lord of the Dance ~ Steven Curtis Chapman

It's been almost a week.... actually it's been a week. Anyway, I've been busy as hell. OK. First off, weird dreams. Two nights ago, I dreamt my parents disappeared, then last night I dreamt Chris and Chad kept making fun of me really cruelly. Second off, songs. I'm up to

#38 When It's Over - Sugar Ray

although I kept listening to #9 - I Don't Wanna Fall In Love - Jane Child for a while. I love that song! I just love the beat and the sound behind it. I looked at her website and she looks totally different. Which is kind of good since she looked totally 80s before, with like a women's mullet thing going on. And before that, the only thing I knew by Jane Child was from the album I got at the county fair while trying to win a contest (I eventually did, I won Sugar Ray's 14:59 album there). And one song from that album was called "Shhhh". Now this is going to be a while to finish writing this entry, because I'm getting dressed and trying to catch up on the week.

SATURDAY

The MVOP concert went really well. Only thing I'm a little dissapointed with was 2 of the 3 choirs we invited didn't show up. And that day was the first really cold day in a while... after the storms the day before it got cold. Anyway, the concert went well, was relatively short, only about an hour and a half to two hours. Then the reception was good although I forgot to take my pill and was acting really hyper; people were like "Spencer, are you drunk?" just playingly but I knew I needed the pill. I didn't have access to one though. The problem is after a great concert, I'm like really happy and I guess "drunk with happiness and a sort of pride"; pride for the whole group and everyone not just myself. Then I went home.

SUNDAY

Sunday I went to see Garrett in Jekyll and Hyde. It was very good although you only saw his bald head for like 2 seconds so I don't understand why he needed to shave his head. Then Garrett's parents took me and Garrett out, which was very nice of them. We went to Carlos O' Kelly's and it was very good, although not nearly as good as Los Mat (which is now El Perrito; I'm still going to call it Los Mat because that sounds so much better than El Per). I forgot what happened after that.

MONDAY

Nothing much happened that I can recall, so on to

TUESDAY

OK. We had a Concert Choir rehearsal that night. Oh man, I was pissed at most of the choir for their lack of committment. After that night, I SWEAR TO GET IN UCHOIR because I don't want to be stuck in a choir of slackers. OK. We get these pieces by Brahms at the beginning of the year, literally, and PEOPLE STILL DON'T HAVE IT MEMORIZED!!!!!! Yet, we just got Lamentations of Jeremiah, and we have that memorized already. IT PISSES ME OFF> It upsets me to hear a speech directed at most of the choir who don't commit, just because they are in Concert Choir. THIS was the biggest reason I didn't want to be in Concert Choir in the first place. People in this choir believe they don't need to commit because they are in this choir. NOT TRUE! You signed up for it, you commit to it. So, on Sunday when we have our concert we are useing music for songs that should be memorized by now. Which sucks.

WEDNESDAY

Nothing I can remember

THURSDAY

Nothing important.

So I have caught up! Yay.

#41 May It Be ~ Enya
(I'm using the tilde from now on because it's cooler)

Well, I started over playing all of my non-Christmas mp3's... I'm at an even 650 and so I'm most likely not going to add anymore to that. So here:

#1 Orinocco Flow - Enya

When I pressed shuffle I went through like the first 35 tracks and they are in a really good order. So I'm glad.

MVOP's concert is tomorrow so we had rehearsal for that tonight. It went really well. The shirts are awesome. During the rehearsal, Grandpa and Barb showed up, like they said they would. I was glad they found the campus and church all right. After the rehearsal we went to Tater's and talked about a lot of stuff. It was good. Then I showed them my room. And then after they left, I called home and talked to dad first, and then like 10 minutes later mom said she'd call back so I basically told everything I told to dad to mom... so yeah my voice is tired. Which isn't that good because I need as much of my voice as I can because of tomorrow. Oh well. I'm sure everything will go SUPER well. I have decided now that because my workload is so light next semester I will be in the choir for sure at least one more semester.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAY KGB STAYS IN GREEN BAY YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAAY!!!!!

It's finally nice outside! So why am I in here writing an entry? I don't know. Anyway, I just got back from Voice Area and I was really nervous but I did really well. I went to a few recitals last weekend and now I have another one tonight and that is Bobby's recital so that should be good. OK that's it I have vocal jazz in an hour and I want some time to relax today!
