Tagged

So apparently, there is this new way to do the whole "send this to 50 people in 10 minutes and your crush will kiss you tomorrow"

Except this is the way grown-up bloggers do it.

I got tagged by my sister-in-law Heather on her blog (happyharperhome.blogspot.com) so now, I'm supposed to say 6 things that some people might not know about me, and then tag 6 more people to do the same... but since I don't know anyone else who even has a blog... If you're reading this, then consider yourself tagged... and I guess you'll have to start a blog just to respond to this. (yes, Kyli you are the only person I know that actually ever reads these posts)

#1. I have little air sacs in my throat from playing the trumpet the wrong way for years and years. Big whoop... just look at maynard ferguson or dizzy gillespe, and you'll realize that they really aren't a big deal.

They're kinda like this, but less than a quarter of the size. (look at his neck 47 seconds into the video)


(By the way- I'm always completely sober when I play, most trumpet players can't say that)


Dizzy's whole face inflates



#2 I am convinced that my English teacher really doesn't like me. Which is hard for me, because usually my teachers love me. I'm a very practiced suck-up, and all of my peers make fun of me for it. It seems like everyone notices--except the teachers themselves.

#3 Friday is my seventeen-and-a-half birthday, and i just barely got a cell phone for Christmas last week, but before you make fun of me for that I know of at least 2 other people my age who don't have them either.

#4 I have my band directors cell phone number saved in that cell phone. Go ahead and make fun of me for that.

Here's where I could say about 50 more nerdy band things about me, like how I play duets with myself, but all of my band friends already know this stuff, and I'm quite sure that nobody else cares.

So I only did 4 of 6 things, you could get mad about this, but then really I'd just say that I really did you a favor by saving you the hassle and time of reading more stuff about me.

Then I'd make fun of you for even reading the first four.

Then if you watched both videos entirely, I'd make fun of you a little more.

And if I found out that you followed links to find more videos of trumpet players playing high... I probably wouldn't make fun of you, I'd probably ask if you found the one of the high schooler playing the 'Double D' in O holy night.


And then you'd make fun of me.
