I wanted to do somethig tonight. However, since I sold my soul to the band devil, I am now feeling the effects that now plague my body: sore muscles, a crippled back, and my sister walked in earlier tonight and said that I looked "like a Mexican". Maybe that might help me in my spanish class. I mean, if you can't beat them, at least you can look like them.

I am now down to weighing 200 pounds. It's hard to imagine that I weighed 230 six months ago. Thanks to biking, swimming, running, and now marching band for getting the weight down. I figure that the weight will continue to drop because I'm so busy now.

My dad almost had a stroke today. He was with my mom at my grandmother's house and his speech began to slur. He said that his side was numb too. He went to the hospital in Lawrence and they did some tests on him, but he's fine now. I'm really worried though about his health. He has a really weak heart, he weighs too much, and he stresses way too much. I fear that he will not be able to prevent these problems. He has been trying for the last 6 or 7 years to drop his weight, but nothing has worked. He's always going to stress out about the littlest things too. Thats his personality. I'm worried now.

I saw it today. I don't care and when I saw it I expected it to happen.

My cousin and I went to a party last night. It was pretty much a band party and not many people showed up, but it was fun anyway. Pete and I are finding some more similarities in each other. We talked a lot last night. Heck, we both thought the same girl at the party was cute.

Funny how I bring up this girl because her roommate is on the cymbal line. The girl on the cymbal line and I have so much in common! We both lived in Iowa, considered going to college at St. Olaf, have blond hair, our last names have 7 syllables, are on the drumline, live/have lived in Oliver, and were both at the party last night. I'm sure that there are more similarities too. I was talking to her again about this out loud during one of the breaks and other people listening said that we're "soul mates"...which I think is hilarious. I think this girl thinks I like her though. Tomorrow she's going to find out that I want to talk to her roommate.

This mountain dew I'm drinking is the only thing keeping me awake.

I was talking to this girl over the phone just now and she just keeps talking and talking. I swear I am going to hang up soon. Well, I just did. She better not call back.

I am also talking to Kevin Miller on IM right now. He sounds pretty nice, but I know how he was when he went out with my sister. We should have stopped our conversation about an hour ago but he keeps messaging me. I want to tell him to stop. OK...I just said goodbye to him and put up an away message.

Oh...he just IMed me again. And what did he say?

FlamingoKT (11:37 PM): just wanted to see what your away message was.

kudrums (11:37 PM): Unavailable at the moment....spending some quality time WITH YOUR MOM!!!
