January 13, 2005
You Know Who has finally outdone himself. A friggin' musical? Do I look like the musical theater type? I thought we were playing my game, now. Chorus isn't my game. And it's a musical about zombies. How weird is that? Though, to be fair, when you meet the director it actually seems a little less weird. He's like, gotta be all hopped up on goofballs. In the meantime, Adam and I still haven't found a college for the both of us. Why can't You Know Who ever help me with anything practical like that?

Ok, craziest thing. Adam is watching us rehearse the play today and he's just doodling around on his sketchpad, right? And Johnny Broadway (yes, that's what we call him) sees it and goes nuts and hires Adam to build the sets! I can't tell if JB is, like, mentally unbalanced or just, like, a freak genius. Since he loved Adam's sketches, let's go with genius. It's so exciting! We finally have something to do together and plus it'll totally look good on our college applications. Maybe You Know Who is more practical than I thought…

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! The Bakers dropped the lawsuit! I can go to college! We won't starve or be homeless! I'm just going to enjoy this for a moment before something spoils it….

Want to hear something funny? Grace, who, you know, is like all Miss Tough and everything? She's jealous. Of Glynis! Of course, I'd love to help her out but I'm still too mad at her. For some reason she decided to open her big mouth at rehearsal today (and keep in mind she's not even in the damn play) and now I'm the queen! And I have to sing a solo! Thanks a lot, Grace.

What can I say about the musical? It was a disaster. A perfectly beautiful disaster. I mean, imagine the worst thing that could possibly happen and it happened. Yet, it worked. And the audience loved it. I'm just glad I didn't fall off the moon and land on my face. The funny thing is I should have seen it coming. After all this time, you'd think I'd be able to recognize You Know Who. Man, I bet everyone would freak if they found out who Johnny Broadway really is…

January 18, 2005
I've been thinking a lot about what Adam and I talked about. How we probably won't be going to the same college. I guess that's why we were having so much trouble finding one. I think we both knew it, but were too scared to say it. But that's what the play was about, right? Embracing the chaos and trusting things will work out. Let's hope so….
