The Perfect Date

I have a dream date. I think every girl does. The date they imagine will surpass all others. It has been extensively thought-out, it is filled with things she loves, and it is with the right boy. In short, it is perfect.

My dream date is this....

It occurs during the wintertime, which I believe is the most romantic time of the year. And speaking of romance! Here is Nicole's top 4 most romantic places..

1) At a ball where the girls wear ball gowns and the boys wear tuxedos
2) Secluded waterfalls
3) Sleigh rides
4) The Eiffel Tower

So this all ties in with my dream date. In this date, he will ask me to a Ball and I will wear the most stunning dress. Afterwards, we will ride in a horse-drawn sleigh.

It will be perfect.

Defying Gravity

Something wonderful happened to me on Monday. I discovered....the stage. Here's how it happened.

I needed to relax. I don't know if you know, but I have a crazy stressful life. At least right now I do. It's pretty much crap. C-R-A-P crap. So naturally I did what anyone with a crap life would do. I sang.

I aide during 2nd period (as many of you already know from my previous posts) and one of the reasons my life is so annoying right now sits in the band room. Mr. Binder. SPEAKING OF CRAP.

But I won't get into that. So basically I have been bending over backwards to avoid any form of communication with....that.... and I finally figured out what I needed to do. So I grabbed the music department keys and hit the stage.

The first day the lights were on and the second day they were too but today, the audience lights were off. I go and sometimes I'll give a brief introduction to my song selection and then I will sing. It is so relaxing and I just love it.

One of my goals for high school is to have a solo on that stage, preferably for the Winter Concert. I don't think that is likely to happen, but at least I've found a way to put on my own concerts :)
