Yesterday morning I had rehearsals til two, then I got home, showered, and put on my suit and all that stuff. then I went over to Laura's to get pics of just us, then to her friend Cody's to get pics with all her friends. Then the limo came, and it was only a 14 person limo, but we had 17 people, so the driver was mad at us... but o well. then we went to "waves" in Saint Clair Shores and ate dinner. then we went to TCBY. then we drove around for like an hour, then we went to the dance. The dance was SO hot and we pretty much just danced the entire time. So we were all sweaty and it was pretty much one big orgy..... fun time. haha. Then I stayed after cuz laura had to help clean up since she's on student government, then we went to some kids party, then I went home. Very fun night. Then today, I woke up at 1:30 cuz I was sooo exhausted from last night, then I went to rehearsals at 5. I couldn't sing for crap today. I had to sing an F in falsetto.... thats ridiculous. So I sucked, but O well. And Hinkle almost just left cuz he was mad at us, and that was really akward. and uhhh.... the end.

I woke up at 8 this morning, went to rehearsals for a few hours, finished choreographing "Be Our Guest" and then I went home and watched the UofM-State game. UofM won :-D. Then I went over to Joanas to get pics, then to Chelseas to get more pics, then I went out to Royal Oak and ate at some cool Asian restaraunt. then we went to the dance.... and it sucked, so we ended up leaving at like 8, then we went back to chelseas, then to VG's where Joana got perscription reading glasses just cuz they looked cool haha. then me and Joana went to Coldstone, then to Laurens afterparty, and she was the only senior there, haha. Then I came home. Very fun night.

Today was fun. School was boring, of course, then I went to the mall with Joana to get her shoes cuz I had nothing else to do, and I had the best cookie of my life, but my freakin frap has ice chunks in it, and I was mad. then we went back to stevenson and she got into her dress and all that stuff, and then we spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out how to attach the float to the car. then we tried taking it down dodge park, and that didn't work so good. Me Barwin had to try and keep it from going into oncoming traffic, and it didn't work so well lol. and I cut my hand. But after about 10 minutes we finally got it to the church. and then I saw AILEN!!! and I made her cry haha, i love her. and then we did the parade, and my cheeks now hurt from smiling so much. then we took pics and tried to figure out what to do with our float bcuz some moron decided to close the scene shop door. so me and joana just sat on the side of the stadium and barwin went in to see if we could put it by the concession stand, didn't work, so we put them in josh's car. and then more stuff happened, but im sick of typing.

My day started with me waking up 5 seconds before my bus came.... in the middle there was some costumes.... a little bit of screaming.... and it ended with me, Joana, and Barwin saying "Va-GI-na" in Chili's.
So school was boring as usual. I got my pics, I don't really like them, but I don't really care lol, I think people make too big a deal out of school pics.
After school, rehearsals got cancelled cuz Mr. Smith couldn't get there, something was wrong with his car. I feel so bad for Mr. Smith, he's always so exhausted, and now his cars effed up.
Then I went way far away to this costume shop with Berg, Joana, and Barwin. And I got my Lumiere costume, I don't like it, but it does look Lumiere-ish I guess. We got a bunch of other stuff for the musical too, its gonna be real cool. Then we drove home, and then we decided to go to Chili's. And Joana asked the waiter the stupidest question.... shes like "Can I dip my fries in their dip?" and me and Barwin just stared at her and she's like "Well I didn't know if they had rules about sharing!!!" and then for some reason they started going va-GI-na, like in the sandlot when they go for-EV-er! and then I came home, and that was my day

I broke my old record. My old record for longest time spent in school was 11 hours, and that was the day of the talent show last year when all us hosts just kinda sat around for 4 hours after school. Well, today I stayed at school for 14.5 hours!!! I had Beauty and the Beast rehearsals afterschool and then I just stayed there for like an hour, then we had to perform at open house.
The star spangled banner went good except that none of our sopranos were there except 2. so we had no sopranos, but I don't think it sounded too horrible. Nicole did sooo good on her solo for the Blues song. Then all the choirs did Be Our Guest and I had the Lumiere solo, and it went really good all four times except for when I forgot my words the second time, but I think I covered it up okay lmao.... I was like "And we'll provide the rest.. uh... la la la la la!!!!" So I La'd for about 10 seconds until I remembered the words. But yeah, I pretty much don't have a voice anymore, because I've been singing that song nonstop for the past week during choir and B&B rehearsals, but O well.
Overall..... good time

A lot has happened in the past few days.
On Sunday I went to Royal Oak with Joana to see "The Music Man" and we were both really bored so we ended up leaving during intermission and going to some Bangkok restaraunt. and then we went to the Magic Company rehearsal. I'm so excited because we're singing "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours" and the dance is pretty sweet too, and I'm finally partners with Jill!!! And I'm going to Dakotas homecoming with Laura! and I'm so effin excited. haha I doubt I'll go to Stevensons though.
Monday I stayed after for rehearsals, I was expecting the chorus to suck because I don't think anyone in it really has any singing experience except maybe one of two people, but it actually sounds really good. Only bad thing is I'm losing my voice and I have to sing the solo tomorrow during open house. sweet, should be fun.
Today was boring and rehearsals were long, but I'll live.
The end :-D

I just got back from the carwash, its was fun except for joana pouring the bucket of sopy water on my back. So I'm Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast, I'm pretty stoked. For anyone who was deprived of a childhood and doesn't know who Lumiere is, he's the candlestick.
Magic co. rehearsals start tomorrow and I'm excited. I get to see Jill, Laura, and Laura again! woot woot. But yeah, I'm still soaked from the carwash so I'm gonna go take a shower.

So school started Tuesday. Yeah, woohoo. Today I got switched from Algebra 2 to Accelerated Algebra 2, I guess I did good on that test thing? Only bad thing about this is that I kinda forgot where my new room is lol. Oh well, I'll just follow someone in my class. So Chemistrys boring... Satins is great... English is actually kinda fun so far because we haven't done any work.... US History sucks, I don't like Reinstein.... Theatre Arts is awesome except for the fact that my mentally challenged stalker is in the class, she started singing to me today.... French is boring.... AP Algebra 2, idk yet...... Health is fun. And thats the summary of my schedule. Those freakin' hallways need traffic lights, its ridiculous. Auditions for Beauty and the Beast are Tuesday... and I've finally made up my mind and I'm gonna audition.... so I'm excited for that. Besides that, nothing else is really too interesting in the life of Brad.

I went to the movies today and then out to eat and then to Garretts. So Rachel picks me up to go to the movies, and she's driving.... and she was actually a really good driver... except for the fact that she turned into oncoming traffic and almost killed us. Haha, we had just gotten off the Van Dyke expressway, and then you know how ya turn left and just go straight into the walmart parking lot? Well she thought we were already in the parking lot, so she accidentally turned right onto the expressway and into oncoming traffic, and it was obviously a one way road so its not like she could just move over into the correct lane. So me and her mom are freakin out, and then we were just kinda sitting there for like a minute while all the cars are honking and swerving out of the way... and then I see a car in our lane coming right towards us and I'm like "RACHEL, HONK SO HE SEES US!!!" and she did, and then she made a U-turn and we were safe. Probably one of the scariest moments of my life, but afterwards it was really funny. So then we got to the movies and told everyone about out it. So then we went and saw Dukes of Hazzard and it was real dumb. but omg Jessica simpson was sooo freakin hot.. Seriously, as hot as she usually is, she was ten times hotter in the movies. The movie would have been so much better if they would have just had her in more of it. Then, after the movie we all went to Max n Ermas, and there was a magician, but he ignored us. Then we all went to Garretts and watched part of Silence of the Lambs. Then Angies dad came and picked us up. The End

I've been singing Amazing Grace all day, I don't know why. But I remember when we were making all the plans for my grandmas funeral last year they asked us what song we wanted them to play and they gave me a big list. And I looked at it, and I asked my mom how about amazing grace, but I guess my grandma didn't like that song... but anyways, I decided I want them to play Amazing Grace at my funeral. So if anyone reading this happens to still be alive when I die, MAKE SURE that Amazing grace is played at my funeral. haha okay, enough about that...
My cousin had her baby on Tuesday. Jude Anoir Downing. He's healthy and all that jazz... I haven't talked to anyone from that family yet, but they live in Tenessee and they usually don't come home for Christmas, so I probably won't even see the baby til next summer. I hope my cousins doin better though, I haven't even talked to her since my Grandmas funeral, which was almost a year ago.
Last night I went to the movies with Laura and her family that was in from Georgia.. I think by the end of the night I had developed a southern accent lol. Her "Nanny" as she refers to her as whispered something about me to Laura in the car, and I never found out what she said. But anyways, we all got the the movies and Sandy, Lauras grandma, and Lauras aunt went and saw March of The Penguins. And then me, Laura, and her Uncle Steve were gonna go see Deuce Bigalow, but didn't get there in time, so we went to see the Bad News Bears. I was expecting it to be kinda stupid, but it was actually really really funny. I think it would have been better if we weren't in a theater with an abundance of moron in it. During the previews some idiot in the back row decided he would try to be cool and show off in front of his friends and after they showed the preview for King Kong, he screams out "KING MOTHER EFFING KONG!" Except he actually said the eff word. Wow, I can't stand people like that. And then there was this big fat guy behind us who has the most annoying laugh in the entire world, and everytime Billy Bob Thornton would say "Get me a beer" the guy would say to himself "MY MAN!" It got really annoying. Then we all went to Coney Island at Midnight, and we stayed til like 1:30 am. haha... way past my bedtime. There was this creepy guy who worked there who sang to himself... it was kinda funny. Then I got home at like 2 am and went to sleep.
The End

Showchoir performance was tonight. It went really well. First we did our opening three songs, and i guess they went good. And then the green group went, I didn't see any of their stuff though. Then The girls group went, and all the guys got to give them their hats. The girls groups did really good. their performance was soo hot lol, not even kidding, I think I stopped breathing there for a second. Oh! and also, Joanna did her solo and it was freakin awesome. Then our group went, and first we did "Comedy Tonight" It went really good, I'm really gonna miss my strangling partner, she was a lot of fun. Then we did Dr. Jazz, and that went really good. Then "Learn to be Lonely." then We did our TV themes medley. The Brady Bunch one went good, I got to play Greg Brady, woohoo. Also, I got to sing the solo for "Beverly Hillbillies." I did good compared to how I did at rehearsals. then we did our last two songs. "Lets groove" and "Dancing on the Ceiling" I did a backflip in Dancing in the Ceiling, and I hurt my hands really bad lol. Overall the show went really good.
I don't think I can do the musical next year. :'(.

I don't think anyone still reads this, but I'm just gonna update anyways.I just got back from Ocean City Saturday Night. And all this week I'm doing the showchoir camp. It's pretty fun. It would be funner if Jill or Laura was in my group. But I've been hanging out with Skierski, it's been fun. I'm right in the front when for "Doctor Jazz" and I have to dance with this girl, and I think she's afraid of me. Cuz he told us all to get with our partners and this was the first time we had done it, so I went up to her and I'm like "Hi!" and she looked really scared and she's like "hi..." pretty much insinuating that she would rather be shot in the face than have to dance with me. But shes pretty hot. Then I have to dance with this other girl for "Grand Night for Singing" shes really pretty, and shes nice too. and I get to dip her... I feel pretty cool. Except the choreography for "Doctor Jazz" is really flamboient and gay....
Me and Laura auditioned for a duet today, we didn't get it, but I wasn't really expecting to, I'm sure laura could have gotten a solo, but there were so many really good people that went before us. haha I just wasn't up to their par. Magic Company auditions are tomorrow. Pretty pumped.... woohoo. I think I'm gonna sing Broken Vow by Josh Groban, but I haven't officially decided yet. I might sing I'll be there. Who knows? who cares?
Ok bye

Laura came home yesterday! :-D. so I called her right when she got off her plane and she's like "Hey Brad, you wanna go out to eat?" and I'm like "Sure!" so me, her, n Sandy went to Fridays and then to Farmer Jack to get supplies for the Welcome Home Laura/ Goodbye Brad bonfire. Laura yelled at me for the kind of pop I got. and then we went back to my house and Jimmy came over and we watched Laura's old home videos. Then everyone came over. And I got to see Angie :-D, who I haven't seen in over a month, and also I took some of her Italian gum, it was weird. And also, I burned the greatest CD in the entire world last night. And everyone wanted a copy haha, I was so proud. It was actually a cd I burned for Laura, but she forgot it. And she still needs to give me back my Garfield Singers shirt!
I'm leaving Friday for Ocean City :-D, I'm sooo excited. The End
P.S. Alexis, my older brother thinks you're extremely hot, lol

Livejournal is really starting to bore me, I've become addicted to Myspace. And people have stopped reading this, so after a while I think I may just stop doing it, but until then I'll tell you what I've done lately...
Yesterday was a lot of fun. I went to Huber n Breeze and that was fun, I drove there (omg I am SOOOO cool!) and then I went to Best Buy cuz my dad wanted new headphones, and I wanted to look at the keyboards, which by the way I think I might be getting a new piano for christmas :-D, one that doesn't suck. The only problem is the full sizes are like 500 dollars, so I'm gonna save up. Then I went over to Rachels with her, tressa, brent, and spencer. then we all went to the movies and saw Dark Water, I thought it was okay, they all hated it. Then on the way out I saw AILEN!!! :-D, i got real excited. and i saw leah too! and yeah, I haven't seen them in a while, so that was fun. Then me, rachel, brent, and tressa went back to my house and watched "Dawn of the Dead" And then they left and that was my day. TA DA!!!!
