I'm stealing Janelle's idea:

Bandfront: Can someone please tell me why the majorettes and rifles got their raincoats carried at the parade, but silks had to wear ours? Someone please explain this to me. Since WHEN do rifles and majorettes get special treatment by our two bandfront leaders, yet silks get tossed to the side? This isn't the first time it's happened, either. Ever notice how the other bandfront looks down on silks? "I hate twirling silks because it's SO easy!" You know what? Eff you. Just because you are a LITTLE BIT good in silks and can also do your thing, doesn't mean we silks aren't skilled, too? In fact, I'd bet we're even moreso. Can someone also explain why it is always ONE bandfront group that causes drama? Also, why is it that if someone tries out for a group and gets that position, they assume the attitude of that group as a whole? And why is it that majorettes and rifles each have the leader they're favored by, but silks have no one? It really does suck. Thusly, it seems like silks get less say and our opinions and views are heard less. Whatever happened to equality in bandfront? What happened to the "all or none" we hear so much about? Where the hell did we get the notion that if all three groups can't take their raincoats off, then two of those group get f*cking favored?? I'm SO glad I wasn't there, or I swear I wouldn't have been able to contain myself. Everyone might just say, "It's not a big deal, stop being so dramatic!" Yes, ONCE it's not a big deal. Or maybe even twice! But when the same exact thing happens several times throughout a season, I can't help but wonder when the hell things are going to look up for us silks. When will we have our leader to favor us and love us? When will we be the most respected section and not just be considered the "default" that everyone has to learn to get in? When will we stop being given the sucky people while the majorettes and rifles only take in people that ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING? Let me tell you, some things WILL change next year. You know why? Because Jana and I will make it change. We both are very passionate about our squad and how the silks are treated in comparison to others. Next year, my fifth year in bandfront, things will look up for the silks. We have to leave on a good note after all, right? (Note: This entry was not at all a stab at the majorettes/rifles/bandfront leaders, just stuff in general. )

School: Since when is it a crime to talk to your boyfriend? Why is it that certain people can nearly make-out in the halls in that 4-minute period between classes, but I get yelled at by freaking Mrs. Marchetti for TALKING to my boyfriend? She walks up and asks Andrew if he's going to Kovach. He says yes. She then asks me where I'm going. Lunch, I tell her. "Go to your next classes," she says. Ok, um, since when are YOU the boss of what we can do between classes? If memory serves, talking is not on the list of activities forbidden in schools. Keep in mind, this boyfriend-nazi was also the one who made us step TWO FEET APART when talking before in the halls. It makes me so angry. It's not like we were lying on the floor, having a quickie before heading off to our class. We were talking, for God's sake!! Seriously, wtf. She is such a nice lady, but then between classes some evil spirit inhabits her that is a cold, heartless soul longing for love. This evil soul doesn't like to see two teenagers in love, and must cripple their fun whenever possible. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but oh well. This is a rant, I'm allowed to exaggerate. Well, Mrs. Marchetti, please forgive me for wanting to talk to my boyfriend for 3 and a half short minutes before he has to walk two steps to Mrs. Kovach and I have to go to lunch. It's not like our classes were hours away from where we stood. It'd take him 10 seconds to get to his class, and who the hell cares if I'm late for lunch? No one. I'm sorry, but if she thinks that two people talking at the end of a hallway is bad, she seriously needs a reality check.

People: Nothing boils my blood more than having your "friends" talk about how you and your boyfriend will break up in college. Oh, yeah, AND talk about how their/their friend's/whoever's boyfriend is SO much better than yours. Well you know what? I love my boyfriend with all of my heart, so you can just go shove it. You guys have no idea about us and what love we have for each other, so stop making assumptions. Please don't hate on our relationship, because it's as loving as any relationship can get. As Janelle so lovingly put it, "Seriously, darling, green is NOT your color." Couldn't have said it better myself. So please, stop being stupid and annoying. K? Thanks.

Well, that's basically all of my angry thoughts piled haphazardly into one extremely long Xanga update. Enjoy!
