ok so this is for those of you who dont hate me, Nova Scotia was freakin awesome i got the BEST pictures and yea. it was sweet, the scenery was so cool. it actually reminded me of waterton, the roads were so curvy there were no straight roads, and there was a tim hortons on EVERY corner. i actually rode on a ferry, which was so scary. i got so sick, but omg, it was just really cool. we went to green gables and to cavendish beach, where i went into the ocean. it was so pretty.

now i'll tell you about how our band did. ok so, we took 3 actual bands to nova scotia, our concert band, our jazz symphonic, and our jazz combo. and all three got gold awards, and then 3 individuals got awards, Kyle Egeland got a scholarship plus a plaque, and then Ryan McAllister got a plaque, and then Colin McLeod got a scholarship also. we were the only band who got more than 2 awards, the lady who was presenting, was like...."i hate to be repetative.... but... Highwood High... blah blah" it was seriously awesome we kicked ass!!!!!!!!!! when the Jazz band played, in the cafe, they wouldnt let anymore ppl in there, (it was about half the size of center court) b/c it was packed which is kinda weird b/c they had never heard them play, (and our band was the only band the room was packed full for) and after they were finished everyone!! (including the edjudicators) stood up and clapped for about 5 minuits. they were so awesome. clearly the second best band in the festival, the first best one was a band called scotia fusion.they played in the jazz tent, (not the cafe) and everyone thought they were a university group, or an actual band but we looked in the program, and found their name, and found out they were a high school jazz band, they were freakin amazing, they actually had CD's out like in the public, like in local cd stores for ppl to buy.

Omg ok, so i dont know how many of you have heard the song "the devil went down to georgia" but in that song they have amazing reels of the fiddle. ok so think of that song, and think of a fiddle playing reels up and down half that time. and think of actually seeing it live!!!! omg, it was amazing. the lady's name was fluer, and she was a local, she played at one of our concerts in the place we stayed, like at the local high school (northumberland) we also had a bagpipe band thingy, (that band is prestige like... they play for the queen of england once a year) to normally attend a concert like that would usually cost like....say 50-100$ just to go listen, but we played in the same concert, it was just like a normal room like a gym, and the only ppl there were like the families of the band members that were attending. i was like if only i had a video camera to get all this on tape. i cried when i heard that fiddle. you guys it was quality entertainment.

So one thing i have to say about all this fighting and crap going on, i was mad for maybe an hour that day and then i got over it. isnt that what these journals are for? venting? and you guys made it like this huge deal thing, and make me feel like enemy of the state, when for reals, you guys are making it into a way bigger deal than it really is.im not even mad. and yet you guys are bitching at me. oh and another thing, LORA can bitch on her journal ALL THE TIME and noone gets mad at her, or if they do its not that big of a deal, and everyone acts like nothing is wrong at school, i do it ONE TIME, and i DONT even MENTION names and ppl naturally assume things. ok? so ppl who are telling me that im on a high horse when in reality everyone vents and noone calls them a stuck up bitch, but when i do it, everyone all of a sudden hates me. so my thinking is, that everyone has some kind of self consious bitterness either towards me, or towards everyone and i just brought out the worst in some ppl when i said one thing on my mind. honestly im not even mad, but i dont regret what i said. i still think its true.... in GENERAL, its not TOWARDS anyone, its mostly teenagers in general, and i think that ppl need to stop making small things big. and blaming ppl for things that you yourself would have (or ALREADY have) done themselves. ok? so there is my two bits, and if ppl have a problem with that then thats ok. b/c honestly i dont care that ppl are mad at me, b/c there isnt anything else i can do to make ppl hate me more right? so think about why your mad, or offended then decide if your mad at what i said, or if your mad b/c of something else. good day.

I LUV YOU CANDICE!

Not true, you fired at me for having a bitching journal one day...

first off - Laura i congrats u on just trying to make things a little more clearer and for the record i don't hate u, and i am not mad at u 4 ne reason, cause let's face it, u have been gone all week so there is no reason to hate u - plus i understood why u wrote ur last post and i knew that u were ok after and had GOTTEN OVER IT * hint to those who need to get over their issues * I hope that u will remain true to ur own feelings

Secondly - Here we go again with the whole bitchingness on the journals - WHO CARES!? yeah i understand that what we write on our journals are our personal feelings - at the same time, it is from my understanding that our journals are for us to vent and get our issues out in the open so that EVERYONE can get a clearer view of what is going on in each other's lives.. Ok i know that a lot of ppl's feeling are possibly getting hurt on them, but i think that ppl need to take into consideration of what is being said - think about - find the more MATURE way to deal with the issue. that does not mean going and giving out shit and accusing ppl. Cause what happens is ppl get hurt and unfortunately the ppl who get hurt the most r the ones that are not directly invloved. individuals get torn apart between groups of ppl and unfortunately these individuals are the ones that just want to get on with life... Ne way i think we all need to take a time out - realize that what is said is said, what is done is done, And if u are SO in need to bitch at ppl - these JOURNALS are not the place - if u want to deal with this shit - do it to each other's face (keeping calm so as no one gets hurt) and if/ when u confront these ppl with issues - be open minded to their opinions and only ask that they do the same for u... and that take into consideration all perspectives of what is going on, listen to each other, and don't play the blame game!!

All i ask is that ppl will be mature and adult enough to at least get this shit done and over with... we have a month

you guys are seriously pathetic, like honestly if you hate eachother that much just find new friends, ITS HIGH SCHOOL GET OVER IT, you guys are acting like a bucnh of juniour high girls, jesus christ you guys really need to get a life
