It's red, with a black soft top. Yeah, I've been driving my dad's car for about a year and my parents didn't want to have to share my mom's car anymore, but getting a miata was more than I expected for sure. Though, it is also practical for the gas mileage with how much I drive. I'm really glad to have made the ensemble! Last year I didn't even give it a shot.

Today I finally remembered I needed to pay rent, woops, been kinda gone from normal life for a while, plus the three day weekend. So now I have a $50 late fee tacked on and they say they won't accept a personal check, which I really don't want to have to deal with, and they really don't need it because WHEN have I ever handed them a check that's bounced? Ugh.

My parents got me a 2000 Mazda Miata, I'm pretty happy about that.

I made wind ensemble today, pretty stoked at how much better of a trumpet player I'm becoming.

Haha, yeah, it's pretty cool, our band is sent to do a lot of stuff in Hollywood, particularly if they don't want to deal with USC, so that's kind of neat. When I can, I'll give more details about this particular gig. I think if I didn't live in Socal I'd be more starstruck. lol

On my way to hollywood for a choreography rehearsal because my marching band was asked to send a small group of girls for a popular tv show.

So, of course there is another update already. I went to my hometown to help with their last day of band camp. The ex that "felt weird about it because we have a history" has a sister in band, and so when the band had a barbecue and pool party, his sister and parents were there, and as usual treated me like family, and asked if he knew I was there. They must have informed him, because my response was no, and he texted me soon after, which led to him later hanging out with me at my house and apologizing/helping me clean my rabbit's cage. The apology was because he had overthought the situation, but we ultimately came to the conclusion that we have too much to focus on as far as school and work to actually date again for now.

Today I had band, but it ended early because of the heat.

Yet another late night out. Going to my hometown (hour drive) by 8am. Socializing with band kids always keeps me up late at night.

Oh, gosh. The H$ system! haha. The currency system never quite panned out.

I was out (eating tacos) until 1am, couldn't fall asleep until around 3:30, so now I'm up really late. It's okay though, my 6:40am classes don't start until Monday.

I enjoy reading about your travels and seeing the pictures, it's always exciting.

This is true, my romantic life never takes a pause even when I want it to and do absolutely nothing to further it. That being said, there is a guy that I was hanging out with at last night's Taco Tuesday with the band, and it was just the two of us at the table by the end of the night and clearly there were several people giving us looks. Because band is all over gossip. It's also nice and awkward to be standing right next to my ex-boyfriend in the horn arc.

True. He does mention that although his current situation is terrible, that if this hadn't happened he'd probably still be doing everything the same way in the sense that he'd be working jobs he hated and just generally not seeking out what he really wanted to do. I worry about him in his current situation, because he is an effeminate man, a twig who wouldn't be able to defend himself, and the stereotypical things you would assume happen in prison are without a doubt happening to him.

Welp. My romantic life is continuously awkward. I probably didn't mention that I was dating the guy that ended up being distant again. I'd broken up with him once again for not communicating basically the day I left for the summer because for the entire week before that it had been pretty much impossible for me to get a hold of him and the day I broke up with him, it was kind of triggered by the fact that he was leaving that day (he also marched, but in a different organization) and hadn't told me nor spent any time with me as mentioned before. It was pretty awkward, we occasionally saw each other at shows. Also, we're both doing Fall marching band again. More awkward. Then a month and a half ago, I had a night that I stayed at my parents' house because I had home shows, and my ex from my junior year/best friend drove me home. We had an awkward moment where we didn't kiss, but then he texted me later asking if he'd missed his chance. I told him he hadn't. A week ago, he kissed me, and the next day said he felt weird about it because "we have a history". He said he understood if I hated him, and basically dropped our friendship there, as well. So that was awkward. Pretty much I'd been planning on not being romantically involved with anyone for a while and then I let that happen because I trusted him to have thought about it a little better after a month and a half. That's the update. I mean, I'm pretty much over all of that already, it was all fairly awkward, but I probably won't have much need for any romantic life updates anytime soon. haha

I read the letters he sent me. It's mostly depressing, of course, quite a bit of hinting at the terrible things he has to endure in there. He'll be released in November. He seems to be somewhat more realistic about my unreturned feelings towards him, but of course, it's still up in the air whether or not he'll be able to really understand how much he needs to be just friends with me.

I feel significantly better. Beds are nice, as is all of this time that I can do what I want.

Ah, that was the day it ended. Currently adjusting to normal life.

Took my flight from indianapolis to houston, bowe waiting for my transfer to LAX then to carlsbad. It's been a crazy summer, and I'm ready to go home, but it's still weird.

I definitely will let you know. It really is an eye opening situation, I'm sure this year has changed him a lot.

Ah, it's alright, I haven't been very detailed about what I'm doing. Since this is one of the most competitive forms of marching music, if not the most, I might add that I have a ridiculous tan and I'm crazy athletic at the moment.

Just 10 days left, I can survive. I wonder how he is doing as well. Apparently he has sent me two letters since I've been gone. I do hope it's possible for him to simply accept me as his friend and nothing more. I suppose those letters have the answer to that.

It seems like you are criss-crossing states. What cities in Indiana and Ohio? Enjoy your day in DC. Fantastic city. We owned an airport in northern Virginia, and I was able to spend time in DC. You will really enjoy Georgetown is you are able. Massilon, ohio, and we end in Indianapolis. There's a lot of criss-cross traveling in this activity, particularly when there are large regional competitions. DC was fun, definitely wish I had more than a day. Good to hear from you, TB, it really is strange how thingd have changed over the years.

New Jersey, Ohio, and then we end in Indiana for that last week after. in other exciting news, free day in DC on Monday.

North Carolina tomorrow, then most of the week we'll be in Pennsylvania, though I think we're in Massachusetts one day.
