Obxnoxiously Loud Without A Care

Finally getting through today's final rehearsal had me half-way breathing out. I'm half way through the end of this, so all I have to do is end strongly! Today was only 9-3:30 and if we're all going to be honest here, I BSed my way through much of it. This season has been pretty intense and so draining that I have been so ready to let up. I will always enjoy doing competitions, but rehearsals have been suffocating me. I didn't stress over practice today, which ended up making it more enjoyable. At the end of rehearsal, DJ and I created a visual for the end of the show where everyone falls asleep. It was exciting to play around with the band and teach it to them. To me, it looked a little fuzzy, but hey it was something!!

Later on tonight, we had our annual colorguard get together. At the end of practice, I picked up my balls and asked Beth's ma if she could come along. Typically, this is known as the "Colorguard Sleepover", but not everyone was allowed to sleepover. Better yet, we all had dinner at Applebee's and man, was it one of the best night I've had in a while. Thanks to Jackie, I found myself laughing my butt off for like 95% of the time! God, we were just so loud and obnoxious!! I enjoyed it, therefore I did not even try to hold them back. When we all first met up there, we had to first wait about 25 minutes for our table. During the wait, we talked and I thought to myself,

hey this isn't awkward at all. I'm actually enjoying myself right now. This was the first sighting of what would be the entertainment of the night. There was a very cute host who helps seating customers standing by the front, and as a guard we all agreed on that. I already know that I have a very loving boyfriend whom I love with all of my heart, but this was just fun for the night. When we finally got seated, we could still see the guy and we all said how cute he was. Jackie, being the obnoxious, hilarious person that she is, decided to walk up to the front and ask him his name. The entire table laughed hysterically at how daring she was to actually do so. She did this for much of the night and we were all ready

to pee our pants. We got so many dirty looks from surrounding customers trying to enjoy their dinners, but I didn't give a shit. This was the first time in my life that I let go of the conservative side completely. I was responsible for this whole table, being the oldest, but I did not do a thing. Usually, I would tell my group to not be as loud, but I only said it about once or twice. The guard ended up staying in the restaurant for about 3 hours and my goodness, it was a fun 3 hours. Figuring out the bill was a bitch, too!

At the end of tonight, with All-States to worry about in the morning, I smile at what a fun time I had tonight. The best part about this has to be surpassing my assumptions. I really can't assume how something will turn out until I take the chance to see for myself. Let's go All-States. Photo is from tonight! :D
