chestnutcurlsHello, and welcome to Memphis 2003: The Eternal Summer. It is November 3. I am wearing a tank top. Last night I was forced to turn on the air conditioning. I might as well be back in Miami. :) My weekend:
Friday: Halloween parties, one at Kathy's parents' and one at Royce's. Our appearance at both was brief, since Evan was very sleep-deprived and I was pretty tired myself.
Saturday: I drove to Murfreesboro with my mom, and we met my sister at MTSU for Contest of Champions. There's always a common theme in the marching shows, usually depending on popular movies or what DCI did last year. This year, difficult concert music was brought onto the field in a big way. The two main themes seemed to be art and religion. There was a Chagall show, a Moses show, an Abraham show, a show called "Chiaroscuro" (which was awesome, but I heard Strong Sad in my head the entire time), and, my favorite, Brentwood High School's "Dream." Brentwood is consistently creative and excellent. In 2001 they did a Gettysburg show that ranks in my top three shows I've ever seen. They didn't disappoint me this year. This show was so neat I can't even describe it. Of course, they lost the championship to McGavock, because McGavock has won all but a few COCs since 1964 in their grand tradition of Paying Off the Judges. They definitely didn't deserve to win this year. I have a lot more band stuff to say, but I'll refrain since no one knows what I'm talking about. :) Anyway, that was Saturday.
Sunday: We went to Opry Mills for lunch and shopping. My mom was generous to me since I have no money. I got a red hoodie, a really cute skirt from Old Navy, and a pair of black high-heeled Rampage shoes that I am in love with. I even love the box. It's neon pink. I feel very Elle Woods. After that we came home. I barely made it to Bible study, then had dinner with some people, and then went to Evan's new apartment (which he had moved into while I was gone). It's nicer than I thought it would be for the price. But best of all, it took me three minutes to get home from there. When light returns in the spring, I can even ride my bike there. I love this new arrangement. :D
Here we all are at Kathy's parents' house. The scary thing to the right of me is Ryan. He bought a gorilla head and hands, and went as Gorilla Warfare. :)
Royce as Morpheus. Note the impressive webbing on the ceiling and wall- he and Ryan did that themselves.
Me and Debra with her best friend Meghan. Note that Debs has straight hair, which took her friends three hours to accomplish. She looked so bonita with her hair that way that I have finally been convinced to try it. Next time she comes home, she's going to experiment on me.
