h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What a day! What a day!
First, I woke up, feeling horrable! A bad day awaits, my shower doesnt work because there are a bunch of towels are in the tub from the stupid toilet backing up.. it was a mess. So I take my shower, and get out and lalala.. I am going to the fair at 3 with my friend sara that should make me feel better.
We get to the fair... and I decide I should go see how my pictures I entered did. Well my photograph got third.. which didnt suprise me, becuase they gave EVERYONE third! They were so stingey! And there were some good ones there too! Ok, so my photo flopped, lets find my drawings!
What? My horse got third? Thats crap! *sigh* my chris botti one did .. so I look around.. and I see a picture covered in ribbons and I look... the paper said JJ Carter
I sat there and stared. Then I read the awards, 1st place, special award, best in catagory... I had so many ribbons on it that you couldnt see the picture. Needless to say I was trying my hardest not to jump around and scream.
After that, things got SO much better!
We went and enjoyed the fair, and I had a smile on my face the whole time! We had smoothies... ran into fellow band nerds and a hurdler! And enjoyed smoothies.. went and saw the horses and rabbits and sheep and goat and chickens and just had a good time.. but then it was time to leave because our first jazz band gig was goin on at 7 and I had to get ready. Yeesh... it took me forever to get ready.. my shirt wasnt dry, I couldnt find jeans.. blah blah.. but I get there and go to the band room.. OH CRAP.. where on earth is my jazz band music?! Its not in the boxes... omg I am going to be late.. where is it?! .. oh yeah by the sax cases.. duh...
Yeah... drive to the convention center for the class of '50's reunion! Which happens to be our gig... and we cant find the room we are in to warm up and all that.. and at last we find it and warm up... and we all decide to growl during Tequila, and I CANT GROWL! It was so embarassing... so I just played "dirty" wich isnt the same, but close. So yeah, we get on stage, and the first song was ok... we didnt really do that great because we have an inexperianced band this year, but its the best thyve ever done! But by the second song, my back hurt so bad I was going to throw up! I almost cried on stage! I donno whats wrong with it.. i think its from hurdles and yeah.. anyway it hurt! But yeah, we went on and the pain dulled and when I got to my solo I was running on pure adrenaylin so I didnt feel it. BUT I messed up the solo.. yay, but it still sounded good, cuz its jazz and noone knows what you are going to play anyway! Ok well I am finally getting to the exciting part! My dream come true!
My hero as of recently is Brooks Brown... dont ask, long story!
And I have aquired his email, and spoke to him on IM once.... That went well.. he hated my guts for a long time.. untill today! I put up with his crap so much and retaliated to his comments so he said:
Soldier of the Lotus says:
okay, you have a brain
Soldier of the Lotus says:
i'll talk to you
Soldier of the Lotus says:
sorry, i hate most people
Soldier of the Lotus says:
rather grueling, but those who put up with my shit are worth talkig to

So how cool is this? I am friends with my personal hero! My dream come true!

Today has definatly been a day worth living!

Right on
It's good to have days like that, makes those "other ones" a bit more bearable

Yay! Was the picture that one the one you showed me/sent to me?

IK! I have been having BLAH days... and the day before that was a HORRABLE day... so i was all excited and I am still running on the happy vibes I got from that day!
and... erm.. Is it the one of the guy playing the trumpet? if it is then YES! !!!!
cheers

Man! That sounds awesome!
We have fairs like that in Australia - we call them "shows". I enter pictures in and stuff at home when I can, but I haven't in the past few years because I've been living in the city so that makes it kind of difficult.
I'm glad you had such a great day!

hehe thanks!!!
I hope you enter something in soon! That would be awesome!
and we call them fairs because we also have a rodeo and horse races and livestock shows... its kinda... the mondana for us.. but yeah.. I feel like a hick just talking about it! haha
cheers

YAY HICS! The only fairs I ever go to are Halloween horror fairs during October - they're the best - lol

oh fun! I wanna go!! we only have the county fair... haha
cheers
ford

well I went to horror nights... much fun - we rode most of the rides and I'm quite proud because we didn't have a map and we only walked around in circles about 4 times... AND I GOT CHASED BY A GUY WITH A CHAINSAW!!! WOOOT!

My mate actually got chased by a guy with a chainsaw, after my mate slept with the guys daughter. Marcell (my mate) only escaped because he ran down an ally. The guy was in a truck waving the chainsaw at him. The chainsaw was on I hasten to add. Marcell is very stupid some times.

haha - thats funny.... I had a great mental image going on throughout that story... hehehe... wow

haha me too! I was like.. whoa.. haha thats hilarious.. and scary... but funny!
cheers
ford

He probably deserved it knowing marcell. Then again, he IS looking after another mans kid because that guy ditched. Marcell is like 19.

oh man! I hate looking after kids! I hope that guy comes back soon!
cheers
ford

...somehow, in NZ i doubt it.

awww thats horrable!
cheers
ford

Unfortunally, also realistic. Haven't seen marcell for ages; hopefully he'll be at the cadet social. I'll have to ask anica about it. Hmmmm... Who should I take.... I don't think I'll take anyone, except maybe one of anicas friends or desire or someone for a laugh. I have to run it too. Oh well, I am getting about $100 so I can set it up properly. Everyone who comes gets a drink and some chips for free with the cost of getting in, but after that it costs, except for me and my mates because I will run the canteen too. he. he. he.

OH OH! take a lap top and you can bring me!!
jk
Ummmm.... have fun with the cantine.. dont get TO wasted
cheers
