when we didn't lose at music

so friday was a complicated day. it was way hectic, involving me making a mad dash to my car more than once--forgetting my keys one of those times--and carrying bags of things for other people, leaving behind things i should have brought in the first place.

it involved my cello starting up that noise he's been making lately, resulting from my bridge moving too low, when i played an F# (high and low).

it involved a hot bus ride to san pedro that should have taken 45 minutes, but really took almost 3 hours.

it involved being excessively bored on said bus ride, having forgotten my book and my ipod.

but, that being said,

it also involved a long bus ride nearby the boy i have a tiny crush on.
it involved being with tina and mikey and ana for hours.
it involved ana finding a crack spoon, singing with it as a microphone, and taking a picture with it.
it involved skipping 6th period with allford to practice with tina (and azia) upstairs in the soundproof cello room.
it involved teaching tina the care cup and designating a symbol for mikey's crossing the line.
it involved eating an amazing salad at hot's with mikey, tina, spencer, and annas.
it involved taking our senior panorama picture.
it involved teaching jamie the other way to solve the f2l.
it involved tina making a wayyy dirty statement.
it involved getting home at midnight after hot's and my parents not saying anything.
it involved walking into Lit with starbucks and without a backpack (or anything but the starbucks)
it involved my cello deciding he didn't want to make those ugly noises during our performance.
it involved us performing exceptionally well.
it involved us receiving excellents from our judges. :)

so, to quote mikey and mr. parsons (who are, by far, two of my favorite men)

Mikey: "You can't win at music!"
Parsons: "But you can lose."

and we didn't. <3 style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">
