Band Geek Ramblings

Band Geek Ramblings

I don't even know where to start.  Perhaps with introducing myself?

My name, or my pseudonym, is Cecilia.   I'm a huge band geek and I play trumpet in my school's marching band.  I'm a junior in high school, and I guess I'm doing this so I can vent and not reap the consequences from venting on my friends.  I wouldn't say my life is complicated.  Do I make it complicated?  Yes.  I love drama- not the gossiping, petty high school girl drama.  Drama, like theatre and the arts.  I love to act.  I'm president of the Drama Club at my school and it's a big part of my life.  I listen to a wide variety of music.  I actually can't think of a genre I don't like.  

I'm going through some stuff right now that I'm not sure how to deal with.  In the near future, there's a possibility I'll be entering the entertainment industry.  Don't get me wrong, that's my dream.  Really.  But I'm terrified.  I don't think I'm fat.  I mean, I weigh like, 120 pounds.  And I'm TALL.  Like, nearly 6 feet tall.  So the whole 'fat' concept is lost on me.  But lately, I've been looking at myself differently.  I'll walk past a mirror and stop to backtrack and just look at myself.  But not in a 'wow I look good way' but more like a scrutinizing, calculating way.  I always said I wasn't going to be one of those girls who constantly obsessed over their weight.  But in the industry I might be in, that's basically everything.  And it's starting to get to me.  I acknowledge this fact.  I acknowledge that my portions at meals ARE getting smaller.  But honestly, I have no appetite.  When I'm hungry, I eat. 

I'm really bad at relationships.  I'm afraid to open up to people at the risk of getting hurt. As long as I'm sharing a lot, I might as well say it.  I finally did open myself up to my boyfriend, and he decided I wasn't worth it.  He dumped me after 3 weeks and it destroyed me.  It confirmed all my fears about being open.  I am slightly boy-crazy.  But, when I meet a guy I really like, all the others sort of fade away.  That's nice.  But then I focus all my attention on him, and eventually I get hurt.  Which sucks.  Especially when I realize that I pushed all the other guys away to pay attention to the first guy.  I 'm getting better though.  I've started telling myself that I don't need a boyfriend, and boys ruin careers.  And honestly, right now, they do. I need to stay focused on my future.  I can't risk getting involved with a guy compromise this amazing opportunity. 

Well.  This is my first attempt at spilling my emotions.  Anyone who read it, congrats on making it this far.  With band practice, I don't know when I'll really get to update constantly.  But expect my updates to be random.  Not just in their appearance but in their content as well.  I don't know if you noticed, but I'm sort of un-diagnosed ADD.  Or maybe I'm just scatterbrained.

Either way, everything tends to come out at once in a huge jumble.

(I'll explain the username next time I guess.  It's not really that interesting a story, but just know it has nothing to do with the whole 'that's what she said' thing.)

Welcome!

Welcome to Xomba!

You sound like me 7  years ago!

I was a band geek, played the French Horn, and definitely did and went through everything you did.

You learn, as the years go on, what is truly important and what really doesn't matter.

Graduating high school is the first step. You learn so much through your college years about yourself that you would never have thought about two years prior.

I know what your going through and I promise you...it will just keep getting better and better.

Keep up the good work!
