CUPID

I am pretty tired.
I had to wake up at
Quarter of 9 for drumline.
And I drummed from 9:30 to 3:30.
But I had fun, Mr. Cragen is cool.
He is pretty neat,
He writes all of our drum pieces himself,
Composes them,
And he's sick at everything percussion related.
Plus, he puts up with my odd habits.
The way I drum is weird.
I get all this
Pent up energy after a while
And I start leaping and
Piroetting
And sometimes I feel the need to take
My shoes off
And other times I leave my scarf on indoors.
Also I play out of turn and don't stop until I get
Yelled at and won't accept when he tries to
Simplify the part. I just have to understand it,
Get it right, and play it well.
That isn't how I approach most things,
Just percussion, which is also strange.
Today he showed me this paradiddle
Variation to some part in Maleguena
And I could stop playing it at all.
And Emily kept trying to pry my
Sticks out of my hands to make me stop.

So anyway, he's good, I didn't mind the longness.
I got home, my mom and dad got me Boggle for
Valentine's Day and I beat Emily and Patrick
41-17-8.
I ate steak and mac and cheese
And went back to the school
And mandatorily volunteered for that concert
They were putting on.
I bought Beich! chocolate from Tom Campbell
For his trip to North Carolina
And then the music parents yelled at him
To stop selling candy to people
And we went and put it in his car
And reparked it 'cause Rauley said
It was in a fire lane.
But yeah,
I didn't do much, socialized and did odd jobs
And watched some people I didn't know
Cover Beatles.

Now I'm home
And I'm gonna read Secret Life of Bees,
Hopefully finish it if I don't fall asleep.
I kept forgetting today is a holiday,
Didn't wear any obnoxious red and pink or
Anything.
Happy Valentine's Day though, I hope you've
Had a super day :)
