Seniority sucks, and I hate to be complainy but...so I guess I wont. Auditions are next week in band though...I am not too nervous. I can use my music from Solo&Ensemble... but hopefully I can play better for Mr. Emerson than at actual states...blah! I hope symph. is smaller next year. I guess that was a bit complainy, sorry.
Third Eye Blind is a good band. Except for when they sing about certain things... and also killing people...hm. but Jumper is the only thing I have been listening to for two days.
I have to go to school at 7:30 tomorrow and really don;t want to but I have to be nice. I have all my NHS hours in but already said I would do this ping pong tournament thing. It should be fun. Sunnie beats me.
I have to go.

You'll be fine with the audition. Using the solo and ensemble piece would be a good plan. :)
The devil sometimes disguises himself as something beautiful. Likewise, if this non-Christian band isn't moral most of the time, why waste time listening to them?
I should have seen that coming from Will :-p So why would I involve myself in anything that isn't Christian, like school or workplace or where I live? Why shouldn't I just hide away from eveything and everyone who is not God-like? Well first of all it is rediculous to hide away like that. Matthew 13:30 says "Let both grow together until the harvest." We can't teach others if we hide away and we can't relate.
With Christian music, it isn't always bad just because the fact that it is secular. Two summers ago at Lake Louise (Abby you were there, Will I think you were not but..) a girl realized that she was a Christian but never really had a relationship with God. She realized all of this in the shower, listening to Three Doors Down, a secular band. The line in that one song, "You love me, but you don't know who I am." I get a lot out of secular music that relates to God or makes me think about things... It is not always bad. Third Eye Blind is an okay band, but some of their stuff is not good. I know how to protect my heart against bad stuff. If I couldn't, I would stay away from it, and I do when I can't. Proverbs 4:23 says to guard your heart. I can do that.
When ever I listen to any music, I always read lyrics and relate it to God and think what he might think. I try to learn somthing from what eber I listen to and never push God aside. He hears everything I hear.
So anyway I am just discovering this band, and I will decide in time if it is just crap to listen to or if it is okay and I can look over flaws. Like I look over flaws of other and like God looks over MY flaws. We are filthy and disgusting and God still hangs around with us. He hung around satin, he was never affected, never fell into his lies.
Or maybe you are right and I am too defensive :D Love you guys.

"So why would I involve myself in anything that isn't Christian, like school or workplace or where I live? Why shouldn't I just hide away from eveything and everyone who is not God-like?" Because God calls us to evangelize in those places, and we don't have much choice to go to school, etc. but we can control what goes in our ears. Besides, we can't evangelize to bands merely by listening to them. We support the immoral songs as well as the relatively wholesome ones when we but the CD, therefore supporting their lifestyle of writing bad material. If the showering girl didn't have a relationship with God, I am doubtful that she was a Christian anyway. Besides, I am not sure that this band wrote "You love me, but you don't know who I am" with a relationship with Jesus in mind. Although, what you say makes a lot of sense.
