Dear Diary, I have Les Mis songs stuck in my head... These past few days have been okay. Actually, today was really crappy. Just one of those days. But Les Mis is going well. After that first night things settled down tremedously. And I've decided I LOVE techies! (Techies, a.k.a. stage crew and sound and light personages.) I've always been fond of them---heck they run the entire show! But seriously, I love them now. They are HILARIOUS. I've been having a blast. I'm starting to enjoy wearing all black... Kind of creepy. lol! I should dress as a techie for Halloween! Tee hee! I can wear black, and maybe get like a toy headseat and some spike tape... So. IN other news. Something's wrong with my dad. His knee has been acting up for awhile, so they scheduled a surgery for him. But a few days ago his back went out or something---he can't move or walk without tons of pain. So they have to postpone the surgery until they can figure out what's wrong with his back... I feel bad. He's in so much pain. My mom just came in to talk to me. She wants me to really try to become good friends with my cousin... My cousin lives 2,000 miles away, I haven't seen her in years, she's two years younger than me, and... her mother is dying. I know I should try to befriend her, but I don't know what to say! Tomorrow Les Mis has a day off. Hooray! It's fun, but tiring. And perhaps I can actually hang out with Eric... if he wants to... Hmm. Oh, but Cassie wants to hang out... I'll figure something out. Anyway! I can't think of anything else to write... "Out of the darkness stars shine Like tiny sprinkles of hope divine. I've discovered that one thing is true. As we walk together in the dark of night Your smile and touch fill me with delight, I only want to be loved by you. Can you read the gleam of hope in my eye? Do you detect my longing each time I sigh? Don't make me hide emotions so true. My heart would burst before the break of day If shooting stars would prompt you to say, I only want to be loved by you." That's a little poem I wrote. I actually wrote it for an assignment in class, and I can't decide if I like it or not... Hmm... What do you think, whomever happens to read this??? Love, Lisa Ann
