Sorry that I didn't post yesterday. It was a very busy day...

It was just me and Alex at lunch yesterday. Jennifer got called back on her audition and Lindsay was out sick. Well, I made the mistake of telling Alex that I had been throwing around the idea of singing for my choir project. Of course he wanted me to do it. We spent the whole lunch period going back and forth over it. Now here's the kicker...Josh walks over to talk to Alex about rehearsing and the two of them gang up on me! Josh even offered to accompany me on piano or guitar. How can a girl say no to that? Well, I did - at first.

I left lunch and headed to geometry where I ended up daydreaming about spending time alone with Josh, rehearsing and kissing...okay, so he didn't offer the kissing part, but a girl can fantasize, can't she?

After geometry I went to choir. Josh walked over to me before class and offered again to accompany me. He told me to think about it and drop by his house after dinner if I wanted to do it.

I walked home from school weighing the pros and cons. The cons were that it would probably tick of Jennifer, and thereby ticking of Lindsay. I was also scared to death to sing in front of Josh - the guy who is known by everyone at school for being the most amazing musician. The pros were that I'd be spending time with Josh rehearsing...and that outweighed any negatives.

I went over to Josh's after dinner. He and Alex were rehearsing. They are doing a 70's theme set for the talent show and using one of the songs for their project. They told me if I pick a song from the 70's they'll let me sing in their set! So now I've gone from not singing at all to singing for my choir project and for the talent show! (I was worried that Jennifer might be mad, but Alex told me this morning that they asked Jennifer and she declined the offer. She wanted to do her own set.)

We threw around some song ideas but didn't settle on anything. They told me to think about it. We're going to rehearse on Saturday afternoon. Josh told me to pick anything I want. He said he'd be able to play it in any key I want.

When we were finished I watched "American Idol" with Lauren before heading home. I couldn't help it. I wanted to stay close to Josh for as long as I could. He watched the end of the show with us. He joked that Fantasia didn't need to sing, she should just bend over on stage so that it's easier for Randy, Paula and Simon to kiss her butt.

Today was a little more routine. Jennifer and Lindsay were both back. Jennifer seemed to handle it pretty well that I was singing with Alex and Josh. She and Lindsay were both caught up in the way Lindsay's boyfriend has been acting. Apparently he took beer to Jennifer's after-prom party and got drunk all by himself. Lindsay was worried about him. All I have to say is THANK GOD I WASN'T THERE! I have no tolerance for that type of behavior. I guess that's what happens when you grow up with a drunk parent. Either that or you become a drunk yourself.

Well, I should get going. Aunt Lucinda is driving me down to the University of Pennsylvania to get some research material for my English paper. I want to get her moving so that we're home in time for "American Idol!"
