Dear Diary,

Pressure is building. Four more days. I am so excited. It is going to be so much fun!!!!

Yesterday I took a walk in the early morning and I went past the church that is nearby. And I decided I would go in and stay for the service. It was really interesting.

I don't really like it but she pulls it off

Mom and I decided to go shopping for her dress for the wedding.
Here is a picture of what we got.

other than that I don't have much to report.

Dear Diary,

Well one week tell the first performance day. I am super excited. It is going to be so much fun. I learned the choreography for It's a Fine Life today. That was pretty much all we worked on because that we have choreographed and blocked all the other scenes, and that was the only dance I hadn't learned. Everyone else knew the choreography because we had done it for when Brooke was Nancy, but I had to now learn the Nancy part and the new bet had to learn Bet's parts.

Dolly and I haven't been able to talk much. Since I am busy with Rehearsals every afternoon, we haven't been able to go to the mall or anything, but tomorrow we are planning to go to an Ice Rink. So that will be fun.

I have been reading the Bible more and more. And I have been noticing things, like how many churches there are from my house to my school. I would never notice that before, but now I do. It is a little strange. It is also strange when I read the Bible, I get a feeling I have never gotten before. Its like a relaxed-ish kind of feeling.

Dear Diary,

This is Juls dress. Its nice, but not my style

This is the dress I have to wear. Ick

So I have a photo of the bridesmaid dresses and the wedding for Julie-Elle's wedding. I am gonna tape them in.

Well the wedding is two months away. That is exciting. I don't like my dress though. Well I like the sweetheart top and the embroidery but, ick, the color and the bottom of the dress. It hideous.
I guess I will have to deal with it.



Rehearsals, Rehearsals, Rehearsals, and guess what even more rehearsals. Getting closer to the big day!!! or days. I have more than one performance day. School without Brooke, Life without Brooke. So amazing!!!!!!!!! I have two more school days without Brooke. I don't want it to end.

Read more of the Bible it was a little weird, it said that there was a world wide flood and that one family survived, only one. Weird.

Well its late and I better get to sleep.

Dear Diary,

Well not much to report, except today was my first time rehearsing as Nancy. It was quite exciting. Everyone said I do really good as Nancy. I had a lot of fun singing Oom Pah Pah!!!!!!!!! Dolly came and sat watching during rehearsals. Then we went and got some frozen yogurt. We just talked and talked and talked. I ended up mentioning the Bible, and Dolly asked why I didn't just throw it away. I couldn't answer that question, I don't know why I didn't just throw it away.

So I have read the Bible some more, and its very confusing. I read about some fruit and serpent and girl. And how the girl disobeyed God by eating the fruit that was forbidden, after the serpent tempted her. And then she convinced her husband to eat the fruit too. And then God banished them out of the Garden of Eden. And that was the start of sin. It was very interesting.

Dear Diary,

Oh shopping with Julie-Elle was awesome. We found bright purple dresses for the bridesmaids, and a very simple elegant lace dress for Juls. I think it is kinda hideous but Julie-Elle likes it. I don't like lace but she does.
The purple one bridesmaid dress is a bit much. It is very sparkly and princess-like, not quite a ballgown but close.

So yesterday, at rehearsals Brooke was caught sabotaging another stage thing, they kicked her out of the production. And now I get to be Nancy! I don't know if anything like this has ever happened before. Oh and Brooke was suspended from school for a week. Which means I will get a week of no Brooke Cousan!!! Yippee! It is going to be weird though, switching from one character to another. I have to practice a ton, because the performance days are in two weeks. but it will be exciting being Nancy. Dolly almost screamed with laughter when I told her, but she didn't, thank goodness. I don't want the whole school knowing like that. an announcement will go out some time but I won't tell any one else until it does.

So I decided to read the Bible, not like really read it, but like just look at it. The first words in the Bible were 'In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth'. Which made me start thinking, how did the earth come around, and when. The Bible continued on to say how God created the universe. Its really confusing, cause I have never ever given much thought to how the world came around. My Parents believe in the big bang, but to me that has missing holes in it. But this Bible gave a description of how the world came around.

Well anyway its getting late, so goodnight.

Dear Diary,
Wow I haven't written anything in a while. Well I guess i have to fill you in on whats happened.

So in Rehearsals on Monday, Brooke Cousan sabotaged one of the lights, and guess who got blamed for it...ME!! so I got detention the next day, missing rehearsals. Oh... How I absolutely hate that girl. She is a good-for-nothing, self-centered, hag.

So this Saturday, Julie-Elle is going to take me and her other bridesmaids to go get our dresses, and look for hers. I don't like two of her other bridesmaids but I'll have to survive. I can't believe Julie-Elle is going to be married in two months.

So I have been contemplating what to do with the bible that stranger gave me the other day, for some reason I don't feel like I should throw it away. Its strange, I have never felt like that before, like I couldn't do something even if I wanted too.

Dolly's parents are going on vacation this weekend, usually Dolly would stay at home but her brother will be there so she will stay with her grandmother on Saturday, and us on Sunday. It is going to be fun!!!!!!!!

Well I have to be going

Dear Diary,
Rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsal. So much rehearsals. Well not that much. But its being really fun. Oom Pah Pah is my favorite song to perform, But Consider Yourself is my favorite song. But I don't get to perform it. "Oom Pah Pah that's how it goes." The girl who plays Nancy is my nemesis, Brooke Cousan, she rubs that fact the Oom Pah Pah is her song and I only have a little tiny solo line in it. I absolutely hate her.

Mark didn't come home last night. But he never comes back, he probably got drunk and fell asleep on the the street somewhere. He'll be back in a day probably.  I don't care much if he is died or alive.

So today I went out to the mall with Dolly, and when she was going to the bathroom, this man come up to me, and handed me a book. It was very strange. And the book was a Bible. I considered throwing it away, but something made me not. I have no idea why I didn't, it was kinda strange.

Well its getting late. Good night.

Dear Diary,
Not much has happened. Like nothing. Last two days of my life have been dreadfully boring. Markie got pulled over by the cops yesterday though.
Yeah so apparently he was speeding or something don't know much about it though. When he got home, he looked sick and woozy, and I don't think it was from getting a ticket.

Today in science, there was a pop quiz. I really hate any kind of quiz, but pop quizzes are the worst. I am pretty sure I failed it. Science comes pretty easy to me actually but I hate it.

Rehearsals for the school play are today. Its Oliver. And I play Bet, not a huge role but I do get to sing. the the two shortest kids in all the high school are playing Oliver and The Artful Dodger. They actually look like they could be ten years old. Its being pretty fun.

Well its late so I guess I better be going.

Dear Diary,
Okay so I have never actually never done a diary before and I am sixteen. Anyway here it goes.
April Fool's Day. I didn't have any good pranks. But I have had many pranks pulled on me. One of  'em was the classic locked locker trick. It happens to someone different every year. I guess this was the year that it happen to me. I think Dolly knew. She made a couple comments that makes me think she did.
'Hey Maka-B. Are you having a fun day?' I love how Dolly always calls me that.
'Fun! Exactly words I would use.'
'Oh Makenza, fun will happen,'
'Makenza-Bailee, if your not gonna call me Maka-B then you have to call me Makenza-Bailee.'
'Oh, so then I'll make you call me Dollita.'
You hate that name.'
'Oh fine, come on I need to get something from my locker.'
And after that we went to the lockers and I opened mine, and confetti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well anyway that was fun. Julie-Elle and her fiance came for dinner to day. Juls has asked me to be one of the bridesmaid in there wedding, which means...I get to go shopping with Julie-Elle for dresses. She says she would to buy the bridesmaids dresses and her dress at the same time. Which would be so awesome. She says that she wants to have a "sparkly dress", in other words, disney princess. And she says she wants the Bridesmaids in hot pink dress. Yike!

Well its getting late so goodnight diary
