Have you ever trusted someone, even been proud of someone for who you thought they had grown to become. Now imagine the trust was torn, that it hurt. That you were torn and it hurt. Now imagine hatred. Yes, hatred burns but it at least it covers the pain. Yes, trust is a fragile thing. You think you know someone but then you find that you don't. That they would rather betray than exhibit one ounce of decency. Yes, betrayal hurts and hatred burns.

Temperature

It seems like all I do is talk about the weather on this thing....anyway.....to see my latest take on the "Feelin' Hot Hot Hot" song by I don't know who, go to my xanga. It is listed under my links as 'Mi Xanga Chica.' The post is in hot pink.

On other matters, I have news. CSEC went well from what I heard. At set-up the night before I severed my leg. Although this accident did not involve rain and Busch Gardens. (that's kind of an inside joke between Katie-chan and me). No, this time I was standing in the wrong place as they were unrolling the mats on the gym floor. The pole with the unrolling mat jumped out of its little shelf and attacked my upper right thigh. It gave me a rather large cut, three minor scrapes and one really bad one. Itsa good thing I've had my Tetnis shots. Anyway....Now I have large bruising on my leg. But I feel fine now. What really upsets me is that my brand new shorts that I wore for the first time that day got two holes poked in it. You know, the last time I wore new clothes while volunteering at a band function, I broke my ankle. I'm just not going to wear new clothes to band functions or while volunteering ever again. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

Onto other news. My horn solo and my horn quartet are advancing to state. I am playing Hornkonzert no. 11 by Richard Strauss (pronounce Ri-kard). My quartet is playing Frippery no. 8 by Lowell Shaw. It is fun. It starts out with a barbershop quartet feel and then the tempo speeds up and turns into a more 'downhome' style. My madrigal group, my girls madrigal group, my vocal solo, my horn quartet, and my horn solo all got one's today at CSEC. My brother and sister also got one's on their events. It was a good day.

Earlier this morning, 5:15am to be exact, I arrived at the school to take the two and a half hour trip to Stephenville. Mrs. King, Mrs. Acosta, Adam Thomas, and myself made the trip. I don't remember much of the drive there or back. I slept both ways. However, the car was kept unusually warm. Then again, I could just be accustomed to my mother's preferred ice box car temperature when she can have it. I do like being cold and then covering up with a blanket. When it is hot, there are only so many clothes you can take off in the company of non-family members. When we arrived in Stephenville, we went to room 308 of the agriculture building on the Tarleton campus. There, the ready writers were given two prompts (one by Henry David Thoreau and one from Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self Reliance.) I wrote on the Thoreau quote. It was about simplicity and not getting to caught in survival that we forget about living. That is at least the take I went with. We were given two hours to present a final copy to the judge. I somehow managed to place second. I will be advancing to state on May 16th I think.

I also found out that I have TMJ, that is, I have an inflamed ligament in my jaw caused by complications with my cross-bite. It is very slight for the moment, however, it the problem persists I will be experiencing a few dental problems in the near future that will have to be corrected despite my protests to the effects it may have upon my embochure. Anyway, I experience frequent lock-jaw and headaches, but mild medication keeps it at bay. I am working through the soreness. I sang and played for the first time today. Oh, by the way, congratulations to everyone at CSEC today. I heard of much success. I am particularly proud of the little junior high girls trio. Good job you guys, you really worked overtime on that.

Okay, so I love everyone, I'll try to write again. Goodnight.

Just for my own record, I wore my new pink dress today and I liked it very much.
