Thoughts:

It's so hot here-   My mind is feeling pretty mushy.  It's been a hard few days for everyone.  Neal is sorely missed, the heat is leaving everyone comatose.  I think the darkness is lifting, but it felt like there's been a bit of a black cloud hovering around these parts. 

Everyone is trying to find a cool place around the house to practice their songs.  I can hear Suzie singing “Superstition” and J.D. singing “We Are the Champions.” Running through my head is “Suffragette City” by David Bowie – the next song I’ll be singing.  I'm incredibly excited it - it seems to suit me perfectly. 

On top of everything I think were all starting to miss our loved ones terribly. I could use a giant hug.  Oh God, I'm melting…  

My new room-mate Suzie moved into my room last night.  It's great to have someone to share a pre-sleep giggle with (I am a girl…) We've all been wary about the other bed in my room.  Dana slept there, as did Wil for a couple of nights ( J.D. Snores).  I don’t really believe in curses,  but I did a Buddhist purification ceremony just in case…

Song Selection was tough this week. We're all honing in on what we need to show during our performance and it was especially important  for me to get the right song.  I got kind of overwhelmed by the whole thing and was so touched by Ty offering to help me this week.  Again, I am constantly reminded of the goodness of beings.  Sometimes it happens during the darkest moments.
