8:04 am: I've been so sad lately. My reading is that of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and my soundtrack is that of The Last Unicorn. I've watched bits of Saving Private Ryan, and my new story, about a girl named Spider, is also kind of upsetting. But I have definitely been so sad lately. It's probably just hormones, I got my period yesterday. Um, too much information?

BTW, my parents bought a silver Bach Stradivarius trumpet for me. I'm going to practice like crazy today. It sounds pretty and it's third valve slide works. Mine hasn't for a year. Hey, I haven't even tried the spit valves. Wheeee! I just hope the Jeffs got theirs. Or at least silver ones. Katy will be so proud of me.
