Dear Diary, Things are looking up. I keep looking down. But I'm trying. Today was Jason's birthday! I was able to go to a movie with him and some other people. Our friendship is surviving, despite the rough patches. We just can't give up. He's a good guy. I'm going to miss him when he leaves on his mission. I'm so glad he's my friend... And that's seriously all there is. Friendship. As long as people understand that, it's good. Oh! We saw the Prestige. Freaking awesome movie. Very intense, very genius. All I had to say after was... Wow. Drama is going really well. The dances are killers (my muscles are killing me!), but the engery is so fun. Cassie and I have decided not to room together on the tour. I think it's for the best. We'll still have fun. Chelsey and Kadee and I are rooming, which will be a blast. So far we don't have a fourth person. Lunch is my least favorite part of the school day. Isn't that sad? It's just not very enjoyable... Today I defended Scott. Not that I paticularly care for or even know the guy, but somebody has to protect him from the vultures. Sigh. I am so weird. I get so annoyed by the little things people do... Like rip on someone they don't know or talk non-stop about things I don't care about. Hmm. I need to be less... annoyed... Or find something else to do with my lunch. Like earn restitution points! Ha ha... I'm really liking art. There are some kids that I sit by that are interesting, and Jeremy's in there of course. But mostly I love just... drawing. Not that I'm paticularly good or even that we've done any real artwork. I just love to focus on that and nothing else. No problems. Just focusing on what I'm doing. It's nice. Do you ever find yourself thinking about a relationship that doesn't exist and never will because you don't even know the person and even if you did it most likely would just not work? It's a strange product of an overactive imagination, I presume. Gah. Yeah, I'll probably even never get to know this kid... because I have such terrible timing! I won third place on the forum with the little poem I wrote. Which was cool and very surprising. Maybe I will have to get on there more often. Lol! Money needed: $100 for tour. $30 for food on tour. $50 for iPod speakers and accessories. $20 to replace tank tops that have mysteriously disappeared. $650 for a trip to Hawaii, including expenses. $50 for a Girl's Choice dance that I have no date for. If Andy ever texts/calls me again I will be greatly surprised. I guess it really wasn't meant to be. Tomorrow we have early mornings at seven, so not really so early. It'll be nice, I think. However, as it is getting late I still need to go to sleep eventually. I love sleeping... Especially when I'm tired!!! Love, Lisa Ann
