things get strange.

it is awkward and confusing. subtle, too.  a very slow process of unproductivity and procrastination followed by regret and anger and fright. i am afraid of growing up and facing the world but i am excited. i just need to do the right stuff now so i can enjoy later. 
   i can't say "fuck it" as often as i have been.

pure.

 Hi. My name is Bryce. I see you around at my place of education often. i noticed you are having a difficult time with some people who share separate opinions than yours. it is hard to get good respect these days. sometimes you got to give more until you receive more. individuality and the ability to be on a persons own is a very respectable trait.

myself thanks.

yeah, okay. i have not posted in the longest time. really though. 
       and what have i been doing? well 
i have been facebooking as far as the computer goes. but much more beyond the computer. like practicing violin numerous hours a day. and avoiding online history homework. 
 and forgetting to eat food.  
          and even dumpster diving.....really. 
i have been thinking. 
      sleeping
             relaxing
 stressing 
          performing
                vacationing 
         procrastinating and 
caffinating. 
       oh, and missing you.

boy

shit man. 
             stress. but weirdness too. like, i don't even know. 
Ms. walcon is going and that makes me feel shitty because when i had the opportunity to participate in something amazing i turned  down my last chance to work with an amazing director.  i litterally said "shit" when i found out. Fortunately she is going for a good reason. to help others. that is good. 
              bryce is confused about relationships. 
yesterday i had coffee in the morning and that made me feel awake the rest of the day, pretty good. at least until lunch. then i went and got more coffee and that made me feel terrible. i was like jittery and restless and bored and couldn't concentrate on anything. it sucked .
              today, though i didnt' have any caffeine. it was fun today. 
    during the pep assembly, i went to the park and got pushed and in returned pushed jesse on the swing with some others. it ws grand.  almost as grand as when i went into town after school today. it was so pretty outside. i was with Eli, phoebe, and julianne. it was really nice concidering that we didnt do much. we enjoyed the outside and i played my violin on the waterfront and only made eleven cents. it was great. then we went to american dream and had pizza. i went to the beginning of a ragtime rehearsal to try and find someone about he orchestra pit but then this guy got angry and kicked me out. whutever. 
              today i have said a lot of things with out noticeing. and in return one guy yelled at me. like wasn't paying attention to what i was saying so just mixed thoughts came out of my mouth and they offended this fellow. i think it was something abuot not getting to hear the bagpipes at the pep assembly because they wouldn't let my people in. that got him angry. oh well. that was strange.

okay. leslie  just wrote an entry that reminded me of someting. but instead of telling you, ill just say that i don't like a lot of violent movies, but the ones i will make an exception for are ones by quinten tarentino. 
    lets see. i wen't and got a blueberry smoothy with a strawberry crepe today. i was with ariel, briana the birdwell girls, and jack. we went to the water front and met eli, briell and anna from san diego. we played in the fountains and hung out theere and had fun untill we split up and suzanne (who had recently showed up), ariel and i ran into LJ, he joined us as we used our pscycic powers and knew that some of our friends were on the roof of american dream. we went ter and had pizza and i came home and celebrated my grandmothers b-day and noticed how cute my neice is. i already knew though. haha. okay.
   i really did have a great conversation with leslie the other day.  it has been almost a month since we hung out. and i miss suzie, too. i cry inside every time i think of her going away. it is such a empty hearted feeling. .... 
                         we have fun.

here i am

Bryce has succesfully completed two weeks without posting on live journal. 
       i haven't done much this break. i have had really good soup (lentil). and been to bald hill with wonderous people. they are wonderful, too. 
        me has been confused. but not about the things i know. and that is good because then, i would be very mixed up. 
my uncle died. my second cousin died, and  my uncle's mother in law died in the same twenty four hours. and i didn't know any of them well. 
       i have become a worse coffee adict than before. and i said i would stop all together. i experienced caffeine highs that were really happy then when they were gone, i wasn't very energetic. yeah, i have a problem.
      i miss Leslie Hurlbutt and i miss Suzanne Simmons. 
                as a result of my caffeine addiction i have practiced a lot and some of it has not proven productive but some has. wich means a lot. 
     i have become nostalgic, unhealthier, but not unhappier. i have probably changed a little bit. 
           the majority of this past week has been me, out of it. 
    my aunt came to town from visiting her husband in california, it was nice to seee her, even under crappy cercumstances. she is a nurse and really good about comforting people when ther has been a death or multiple deaths.
 i saw the movie V for Vendetta. 
          i probably miss you. 
i miss a lot. i need to get more. 
we'll see. 
i am going to get a job. and my drivers liscence. 
i am goinng to go now.

cake

        ah. sunday. 
i played a hoe-down today at a church and i think that i could have done better but on the bright side, i ran into my first violin teacher. and my present violin teacher was there too so it was unfortunate that she had to here me not do my absolute best. 
         yesterday was really neat, though. 
shuttle-bus ride up. with coffee. mmmmmmmmmmmmmy ecstasy.
       long rehearsal with full orhcestra......not bad. hard music for only four days of seeing it.
LUNCH. BOUGHT BY CONDUCTOR.........really good pizza.                        sectioinals by really cool russian, learned alot.
          one more group rehearsal, i was anxious for dinner.        we went to mall and ate and hung out. i hate the mall. full of racist neo nazis and gangsters and wannabe gangsters. and only one of them was nice. 
                     ill tell you a story.
        one time bryce got dared to do something. not feeling like turning down the dare, bryce walked into victoria secrets. he approached the sales lady and asked "pardon me, miss, where is the mens section?" she doesn't get it and tries to show me some men's perfume. i storm off really angry.       
                as for the one mall person who was nice. this tall african american man with a bald head walked up to me as i was getting a picture taken out side of vicky secrets. he was nice. 
  then i occupied the ice skating rink. ouch ankels. stupid shoes. 
         got a hug from a girl who acts like she hate my guts. YAAAAY. 
  SHUTTLE BUS RIDE HOME.

            i am playing this really intense peice now. it is a chaconne by Vitali and it has been rated in the top twenty saddest songs according to some people. it is crazy neat. 
           and now a sweet breeze drifts in from the night trhough my ajar window. it chilles me but warms me.

i need to search the composer Lalo. that will be good. 
                                                               i played violin for my five month old neice yesterday and it made her smile a lot. i felt really special. 

                                    my little black clove is classy with its pinky unfolded while the other fingers are folded in. 

                   i am going to set forward my clock tonight.i  love light. 
neat. 

    yeah!!!

     i went and saw Waiting For Godot. it was exausting. then the followingday i  saw Fools Rush In. i loved it. Ivy was amazing and i thought it was great. Brielle is great. 
                       yesterday i got indian food for lunch that i loved soooooo much. i had been craving it for a while and it hit the spot. especially because, since i felt like a walk, i walked to evergreen and back during lunch. so it was nice. 
                      then after school i hung out with Cullen, Eli, Ariel and Emma. we walked to Rice 'n spice and i got a soda. then we went to the soup shop. luckily i was full from lunch. then we walked to Emma's home. shortly after my mom picked me up. then i went to my cousin's for his ninth birthday dinner. it was really good too. snitzel. 
                     this morning i woke up at exactly nine. then went down to see my neice laughing and being cute as always with her mother tickling her and after i bonded with  them i spent the next half of the day cleaning the damn shop! rrrrrrrrrr.

for there aren't any more cheeses in there!

hi. um. things happened. 
   in the week since i last updated. and most of it, i think, was good. Maybe ill try being a monk for a month or so. you know just for fun.
            friday i went to the mr.spartan benifit concert. not bad Eric did awesome and The Nobels i enjoyed the most. i didn't get to stay for the last band that i am sure i would have liked but everyone else was just okay. yesterday i had Caberet. it wasn't all bad. the quartete i am in played during dinner and every time i would make a mistake mr. C would be ajerk and mention it infront of everyone and make me play worse so we didn't play a few songs because of him...jerk. 
            then i hung out in a big room with some other cys people and that was fun. then we went on to play. my tux jacket was restricting my movement so by the end of the first song i was in pain but by the third song i was slouching and just looking weird. but then we were done and got to dance and have fun. and i danced with three girls....and then about the same amount of boys...hahahaha. dylan! 
          when i was going home from the party i was walking in the parking lot and i passed in between two cars and i looked in through the open window of the small truck to my left and there was this guy smileing at me....he gigled and i kept walking. he and his car smelled alot like marajuana. i think he was actually smoking when i passed him but it was just really funny. he was litening to a yoga tape in his car too. it was strange. 
           mmmmmmmmkay i need to get my licence.
today is a spring day. even if it isn't  spring. it is still beautiful.

competition?

                  yes i had my solo/emsemble festival and competition. it was exsausting. i was standing around and walking around guarding doors and running over my solo with my accompanist and watching people perform and it was all really good. and then my turn came up to play. i recognized the judge because she gave sectionals to the violin sections during allstate and it was great! she is really nice and gave great pointers. 
                But i did really well accept that i was a bit weak and ON MY FREAKING CADENZA I GOT SOME WRONG NOTES!!!! AHHHHHHH. anyways i still was really proud of myself and the judge was nice enough to not even mention my out of tuneness.
               but i tahnk Jenna for coming to view my performance and ill do everything in  my power to do the same. even in Caberet is that day. 
              man i need to practice that music. it is fun and the quartet i am in is also playing at the caberet dinner being held before the dance and stuff takes place. i need to borrow a tux jacket from mr.C again. heh. i hope i haven't gotten fatter since the last time i wore it because it fit perfectly in the fall.

chaconne

 I just saw some TRULY amazing and inspiring things this afternoon. i saw the dots sing beautiful. improv cracked me up so much, it was really really funny i loved it. then a goup of women including ms.Williams sang some songs that were really really.................pacific.  
           Tyler sang and played piano, he sang some Billy Joel songs and made many people cry. then MORE IMPROVE YEAHAH. 
and then maybe my favorite part of the whole thing....Jesse N. he played a real good but sad song by Jason Webly and another georgious song that he wrote. then..................................................he played for us a song he wrote  about our concert master. i was crying by laughter. man it was beyond speech. 
          and now i am sleepy and need rest for tomorrow!!! i will do good!

             hm. today was pretty good in class. bussiness was easy going. english was...speeches so not bad. then i had global studies and that was great. we had a big long discussion about islam, christian and judism religions and how they intertwine. it was good.  also i got to sit on the floor like it was story time. Mr. B is pretty cool. 
           i also developed a crush in one of my classes but for the sake of torturing all of you i will sit back and shut my mouth as you ask me constantly who i happen to like, as if we were in middle school! 
           hmmm.  iknow what ill do after school tomorrow. but i won't say untill after i  do it. that way if there are any enterneet stalkers reading my entries looking for an opportunity to find me, they won't know where i will be going on friday after school. that is assuming anyone would like to stalk me...ha. 
          okay. i am starting to develope signs of illness. my throat has been saor and i havea bit of a fever. i hope i don't get the gripp. oh well. what happens will happen as long as it is after saturday. hheheh.

rawr capital

           okay. today wasn't bad. i am litening to the cd of the all state orchestra i was in last january....and......one of the songs was sooo terrible!!! the cello section had a solo and one single cello was flat the whole time and screwed it up while the other cellos were just mushy and slid around too much on their finger board!!! but not to bring down the cellos, everyone else didn't do so good on that one either.
        now  that i got that rage out of the way...i am really wanting to play the shost. piano trio. !!!

rah!!!!

                well. i just looked at a picture of suzanne, brandi and leslie at a rugby game and it made me laugh. i didn't recognize suzanne at all. hahahah. but it is so awesome that the rugby team (girls) won all three matches. 
                today, i didn't do much as usuall. my sister and brother in law and neice have been down since friday. my neice got some shots so she has had a bit of a fever and it just recently went down. then my brother in law got laringitis. we celebrated is birthday on friday too. 
               i got my homework done early today accept, i could do some more research on a couple of topics. research in class sometimes proves to be boreing. especially when you absolutely can't find anything on the topic ANYWHERE!!!! 
               i need to finish reading the assigned amount from The Kite Runner. a really really good book so far. i am also reading the Catcher In The Rye. it isn't bad either. not my favorite style of reading but it still keeps me interested when i get a sustained amount of silent time to read. 
              yesterday, as i meantioned i was walkeing to the librarry with alex humphrey,  and we just got to monroe and this lady yells out her window at us as she drives by " do you guys know where the strip club is? i am late for work!" and then they drive off. it was hilarious. it made me laugh a bunch. hehahahahaha.
               anyways i cleaned my room  today and had coffee with CREAM YESSSS. and i practiced as usual i am growing to takeing a likeing towards the caberet music. it should be fun. which reminds me that i needd to get some ticket orders Crap!!! i must then go! -bryce

hmmmm again.

                 hellow all of you. today was really different. i had a lot of things in my classes such as quizes and stuff but then lunch was really.......distressing. i won't go into details about it and i won't mention names. i expect those of whom were there won't either. i am trying to take care of it. anywys i was actually really scared during lunch. and i didn' really feel safe for myself....and anyone. andi was confused. but i hung out with kelley and that made me feel a bit better. but i settled things a bit this afternooon. 
                 any ways i walked to the library with alex humpfrey and talked about music and possible ensemble options. it was good sounding. you see, i am in a quartet and all. i like it, its fun. but there is this camp that i am interested in and a certain peice written for piano trio that i really want to play. i dn't want to hurt anyones feelings in my quartet if i try and get into the camp but this is really fun sounding  and the piano trio is one of my favorites ever.
                 we'll see.

ooooooooooooooooooooooh

            well today was awesome. but not at all accept that it was real nice hanging out with Alex, Beca, Eli, and leslie today after school. other than that it was getting a tummy ache from junk food and candy and thinking about a girlfriend. that is nonexistant. you know just thinking about what kind of person i like. but i dont' know i just feel kind of sick of it now.  
           oh well. i don't mind so much that i don't have a girlfriend. i have a lot of things. 
  speaking of which i have been reminded and started thinking about how much we rely on our material possesions. and i don't know, it is just kind of silly. like people think that they need so much like new sterios and what not even if theirs is working great. i htink i am caring to much. but i feel bad about how money is spent now adays. 
             anywasys i need to do homework for intro to busiess. fun!

Annie waits

mellow days. i have importe half my music from cd's to my ipod. 
          bryce too practiced between intervals of left over pizza eating.
my brother brought me a creamy bubble tea because my last experience with it was bad. and i still didn't like it. it was  a lot better than the pomegranite green tea crap that i had. anyways i tried to like it and couldn't so i gave it  to him and thanked him very much. 
        when i was practicein i got so focused that any sudden noise that i didn't expect scared the crap out of me. it was tense. but i am feeling prettyy confident about solo ensamble. 
                 MMMMMMMMMMMM BUBBLE YUM!!!!!!
i have yet another gig from mr.C thatll be $375 i have gotten the italy trip. i better get in or ill throw a shit fit.
         but honestly i am practicing well for it.
 on that note ill retire to  a more promising occupation.

birthday of Bryce

        had a good day. i am now sixteen. 
i started out by forgetting to go to a mask making party for symphony. oops! and i remembered as i was practiceing orchestra music. it wasn't a good feeling i kind of feel bad. but i got some great happy birthday messages and that was great. 
         now lemme explain my day. 
after getting into town thanks to my grandparents. i walk around the library for a bout ten minutes then go and sit out infront and wait for some people to come and meet me. (by the way, i don't want anyone to get offended that i didn't invite them, it wasn't like and A-list gathering.) leslie and suzaanne showed up and we discover it wasn't remembered to inform bekah and eli that our meeting time was moved to eleven not , twelve. the three of us walk to the beanery. and have coffee untill bekah getsthere, then we get food. eli calls and is on his way with logan, an awesome dude. we meet them at cetral park after laying around and having grass fights. it was good fun. logan had to disperse but didin't without a hug. then we went to the bakery and indulged in alot more food. leslie had to got and went with bekah's jacket so i sprinted to the transit and back wich didn't sit well with my stomach. oh well i didn't purge. we walked to around because we were feeling too full. we walked to a music shop that i didn't know exsisted but is really really cool. and we went to a second hand store and walke down the water front. we then walk ed back to the bean so bekah to get a ride home from her mom. we shared a banana and i shared my special trick and then beka left. i walked eli a couple blocks befroe getting myself to american dream. 
       i got an iPod!!!!

lucky fabric

            some times i pick certain movies or songs subconciously. then, i feel the erge to watch or listen to it over and over again, kind of like an obsession. but not so bad. i am doing that with this song here. 
          on to a different song topic. i love alot Beethoven's violin concerto. it is the only concert o for violin that he wrote. and when he first wrote it people didn't like it because he finished writing it four days before it was performed and the orchestra didn't have much time to get good. keep in mind this was wayy back when Beethoven was living (1770-1827) and this was the little enterainment people had. 
          now i am bored and want to read about stuff.

oh and i am another year older tomorrow.
