edit: and since my lj scrapbook got deleted because my paid account expired, my layout is dead. and i have no extra space for icons anymore. so please go ahead and add [info]all__creation. i'll post another notice later because i have a feeling people just skim over my long and rambling entries.

so i think i am really a failure at everything, haha. it turns out i got turned down for acapella, probably in accordance to some heavily biased system that is going on over there. there is always some sort of strange corruption in musical hierarchy. but i don't even know if i want to talk to the music teacher and ask why i didn't get in. i somehow feel like that is rubbing salt into an open wound. the bottom line is this: i just wasn't good enough. period. why must i be lectured or told what i did wrong or how i was wrong? i suppose a reason to go is pure curiosity, but on the contrary to popular belief, i DO have something to lose and that is the rest of my dignity.

and my college counselor wonders why i have no activities. because i simply get rejected from every single one of them that requires an audition!

now i could've just sulked and felt sorry for myself and cried but i really don't care anymore. so i am not good enough. i don't think it is possible to be not good at everything. i suppose maybe this whole situation is biased and ridiculous and i should just forget about it.

though i do have a kind of objection to rejecting people that want to learn and want to become better at it. i think it's dumb to accept all the perfectly polished and fine-tuned kids. because what about the kids who just want to learn and try? it's the same with art school. one of the reasons why i don't want to apply to a design school is because your portfolio has to be fucking magnificent. in other words, only the hardcore live-and-breathe-art kids can really have a shot. for people who do it in their spare time and are possibly interested in expanding it further into a potential career? pfft, there goes your chances. i just don't like this bias.

but anyways, i think i'm dealing with everything ok. i just have to continually tell myself to breathe and just try to be happy. now about 3 years ago, i wouldn't and i would do the opposite and yell and rebel and scream against whatever it was that was pushing me back. but i guess sometimes.. you just need to deal with it. be passive.

i am totally putting off studying for spanish but what's the point. it's a test from sr. murphy. honestly, i wouldn't know anything even if i did study.

i have halloween cut and bake cookies. i'm kind of excited about that. :D oh how simple and pathetic my life has become.

i really like stars now. thank you, helen.

[adds new journal] :)

Man, I suck at auditioning for things. Give me a dark room and fill it to the brim, and I'll be fine, because I can't see faces. But put me up in the lit room with one person in front of me and I get so nervous.

It's kinda sad, because I've been doing it for years now for the drama club, and I still get nervous, even though I know the director so well. XD;

Yum, cookies. Too bad I'm too sick to really want to eat anything. D:

i really really hate auditioning for things too. i hate being put on the spot and i had to learn a couple of measures in like 5 minutes and since i don't play the piano, it took me a little longer than the others to get it. plus i was going for alto which was HARD because i kept wanting to follow the soprano's tempo and notes. i was totally on the spot because one soprano and one alto had to audition per.. well, audition. it scared me.

i'm puzzled that there was this freshman i've never seen at the audition and when i came back, she said i did much better than the other girls. yet i am denied! i always knew this school was completely full of shit. [ the whole system i mean ]

drama sounds fun. X3; i always wanted to do drama but hence my stage fright and inability to audition.

WHY ARE YOU SICK?! D: cookies usually make me feel better. unless it's the stomach flu.

Auditioning with someone else? Eeek. If I had to do that, it would have to be with a bow qho does base. Supposedly I'm an alto, but I have such a hard time harmonizing with someone else who does a higher alto or is a soprano.

Yeah, I've stopped asking what I could have done better to get a role. It's just not worth it, and in the end, I'm happier in the ensemble or chorus, or with a small role with lines instead of a solo.

Drama is amazing. If you have stage fright, you should work with the crew and set people. Then yoou'll see how fun it can be, and might want to audition for the musical. :D

OMG, I have no idea why I'm sick! Two nights ago, I started feeling kinda ick, then all yesterday I was headache-y and sleepy and kinda achy. So I keep falling alseep in classes. T__T So I took off today, slept till 2:30 and I'm STILL exhausted. D:

But I will eat cookies. :3

I think you should still ask him. If only for the reason you list: you want to learn! Granted, even if you go to speak to him, it's a 50/50 chance at best that he'll reconsider giving you a spot. But still, showing interest and desire will make him change his mind at LEAST a little bit.

I dunno. I'll tell him about our adventures (!) today and see what he says. :|

oh i don't know anymore. you know him better than i do but still, i feel like i stand by the "if i give you another chance, it's not fair to the other girls who wanted it just as much as you." that is completely what a music teacher would say and it probably is what he would say. it really is only fair to the other girls who really wanted in.

i mean of course i wanted it, otherwise i wouldn't have auditioned. and it's the same with the other girls. i just think it's stupid to go for critcism [ because number one, i am not one for critcism, even if it's constructive. i always take it personally and get offended on some level on another. big problem of mine. ] when i'm not going to audition for anything like this ever again in my life because i've had way too many problems with auditioning and this is, in fact, the last straw and i'm just not going to audition for any singing type things anymore. i'm really sick of being pushed aside by bias and it happened enough in middle school and i don't feel like "beating a dead horse" if you know what that expression means.

this school is totally full of crap and i'm really getting sick of trying to work with it because it's clearly not going to work with me.

i'll see him sometime this week but honestly, if i come out of there with my spirits CONSIDERABLY dampened, don't say i didn't warn you.
