Journal Entry September 8th 2010
Looking back on the past week, I have to say that it has been a whirlwind of emotion. From moving to a new city and a new school, to performing again. I feel more alive then ever. In a span for 3 weeks time I have gone from 45 best friends to 0 best friends to 12 new best friends. I have to tell you about my new friends.
First there's Finn: He the male lead in the New Directions. He's also the quarterback of the football team, and man can he sing. He is the best guy to get to know. He friendly, charming and very nice. Finn is totally my type if he wasn't straight. But a boy can dream right? He's with Rachel.
Next there's Rachel: Shes your typical DIVA. Always putting her two cents worth in. Sometimes its cute and funny, but sometimes its downright annoying. When we are trying to learn our parts for performance, she has to critique everything. I understand that she has 2 gay dads. At lest she has that going for her. But she's not bad. When I broke down last week, she was there with arms around me holding me while I cried. Her boyfriend is Finn.
Next there's Quinn: Can we Ice Queen? I understand that Quinn and Finn used to date and after she lied about her being pregnant with his baby, they broke up and now Finn is with Rachel, Quinn let them be. He is not coming back. You hurt him. But she is really sweet, it was Quinn's idea along with Sugar's to fly my old friends up here to help me with the closure that I needed. But Sugar took all the credit. Its OK, Quinn you were the silent partner in that scheme and it paid off big time. Her boyfriend is Puck.
Next there's Puck: Now he has a hard shell to crack. On the outside he has the bad boy image. Leather jacket wearing, mohawk styling, football playing punk. But on the inside he has the heart of a poet. I have seen it, like when I caught him the locker room writing a song. Man he is a puzzle wrapped in a mystery. When he help me up to get me washed up I saw the shell crack just a bit. His girlfriend is Quinn.
Next there's Tina: Man that is a strange girl. One day she steampunk the next day the a prep. I understand that she is trying to fit in, but she has to pick one. I prefer her a steampuck, It fits her. But stop being a peacock. We don't need clothing change every 5 minuets, Who are you Cher? But she is really cool. She has all the best gossip. She also has a boyfriend in Mike. She is really smart and funny.
Next there's Mike: Mike is one awesome dancer. He's moves that I have never seen before and he puts them together effortlessly, but he tries to hard. He was really shy at first about his voice, but really the boy can sing. He is really smart and he helps me with my Pre-Cal homework. He is really cool. He also tells the best one-liners. I mean the guy can really land a punch line. His girlfriend is Tina.
Next there's Santana: Man what a girl. I thought I could read. Angry and Bitter party of 1 your table is ready. She's a cheerleader, but I don't know why. She is so angry all the time. BUt that is on the outside, Inside she is just like a new born kitten,all fluffy and soft. I caught her in the choir room singing to the radio and from my vantage point, I saw tears falling from her eyes. So I think I can cut through the rough exterior to find the soft girl underneath. But when things get tough she is always in my corner. Her girlfriend is Brittney.
Next there's Sugar: Now Sugar is a spoiled little rich girl, who thinks that money can by anything. Even friends. But she is finding out the hard way that with all the 100 dollar outfits she wears that its not who she really is. She is just like you and I. Simple and plain. But she does put that money to good use. She was the main reason my old friends from home came at the last minuet. That reminds me I need to send a thank you card to her father. That was a gift that even with the amount of money that was spent was priceless. I don't think she has a boyfriend.
Next there's Brittney: Now that's a girl that is really underestimated. One the outside she acts like your typical airhead cheerleader, but that's that who she on the inside. There are times that she really has good ideas. But those are few and far between. Like Mike she is an awesome dancer. But there is something just on the surface that is waiting to bust forth. And that girl can sing to. Her girlfriend is Santana.
Next there's Artie: Artie is in a wheelchair, because of an accident years ago, I found out. He dreams he can walk again, but he knows that will never happen. He is also in the film club. He is a awesome director. I hope that he will direct the school musical this spring. He is very cool. That smooth baritone voice of his really awesome. When he sings, he really sings to you. His voice really captures your attention. At one time he dated Tina and then Brittney, but now he's single.
Next there's Mercedes: OMG can she blow, She has got some pipes on her. She is a DIVA in her own right and she competes with Rachel every single day. Mercedes is dating someone on the football team. But she is so sweet. After my audition, she came up to me and hugged me and thanked me for singing "Angels" by Robbie Williams. then she gave me a kiss on the cheek. I hope her boyfriend didn't see that. He would kill me where I stand.
Next there's Kurt: I must apologize to you Journal, I didn't shed a good light on Kurt. Kurt is really sweet. Yes he is gay, but he's taken by Blaine. He countertenor voice is so rich, its like a layer cake, after each layer there is more. I remember him telling me that he botched "Defying Gravity" from Wicked on purpose. I still want to hear him hit that High F. He brings me coffee drinks everyday.
Lastly there's Blaine: Why did I save him for last? Well there is the saying "Save the best for last." And he is the best. Blaine, was the first person in my new school that I confided in that I am gay. Until the incident in the choir room he kept my deep dark secret. He has become a good friend. We have every class together and I think that his boyfriend, Kurt, is jealous. I am a fan of Blaine, he used to be with the Dalton Academy Warblers, but transferred to be with Kurt. Now that's some devotion.
But anyways enough about them and more about me. This is my journal after all.
My day started early, we had a 7am practice for Sectionals. 7am can you believe that? Our set list is awesome and I got the lead solo. The theme for this Sectionals is "Covers". Since I got the lead solo, I proposed that us guys start off with Boyzone cover, of "When the Going Gets Tough". The guys seemed to like it, and the at the end it changes to the girls coming out and doing Atomic Kittens cover of "The Tide is High." Finishing it off with me doing John Secada's cover of "Spanish Harlem." mashing up John Secada's cover of "Que Sera Sera." Now that's a set list. I can't believe that our first sectionals is only 3 weeks away and its at our home school. So we are pushing hard and we just got to the the transitions down and well we will be a team that everyone wants to beat. Between that and my regular school work I am very swamped. I was asked, by the swim team coach to try out, but I said that I would on one condition is the Glee Club is my first love that it shouldn't take away from my time there. She said that it won't. She will even give me private training time at the pool after Glee Club. I said that was fine and well I have swim team try outs tomorrow, but its not the swim team I am trying out for. Its Diving, I love to dive. Free falling and twisting and flipping. "Breaking the Surface" by Greg Lougainus is one of my favorite books. I was on the Dive Team back home and well I placed first 4 times last year. So I am a proven champion. Mr Schue really has faith in me that I can arrange this set list and well for the most part its going off with out a hitch. But there is one problem, P.C called and he said that he still wants to be with me. So that throws another ball into the already struggle I have on my plate. But I think that I can manage it. He's supposed to flying in this weekend and Blaine and Kurt and P.C. and I are supposed to be going on a double date Saturday. My parents really like P.C. thank goodness. Because if they didn't, I would have to emancipate myself and move back home to Dallas. I can't wait to get here. 4 more days Chance keep it together. I need to check his schedule, to make sure that Blaine, Kurt ,and I pick him up on time. OK, its Friday the 14th. Jet Blue Airways Flight 630 arriving in Lima at 7:30pm.
Well Journal, that's all I have to write today. This is going to be a busy week. But I will catch you up on Friday night after P.C. is asleep.
Goodnight.
