Big Wigs Show

8th of May, Friday

I rode my bike to school today! What I did in 17 minutes yesterday, I did in 13 today. I got up 10 minutes later than I normally do, and I got to school 3 minutes before the bus. Plus I got a tiny workout before the day even started. Small accomplishment, but still counts. Weather was just beautiful today.
  In Psych class, we watched the movie "A Beautiful mind", about a mathematician who suffers from schizophrenia. In French, we started a new unit about travel (which is a very good topic for me, I've traveled to 32 countries in my life, I counted). In US History, we took a Unit Exam, this one was only 30 multiple choice questions, but I don't expect to do very well on it, I think I scored in the "ok" category. In Creative writing, we had to do our own stories, about any topic. I think mine's coming along well, it's only 3 pages long so far. And finally in Choir, we tested for Clementine. I really don't like choir testing. I'm used to hearing my voice blend in with the rest of the choir. If only 4 kids are singing a piece that usually 50 do, it sounds weird.
  So that was school for me. Finally Friday! I rode my bike home, and chilled for a few hours. At 7, Tommy, Kim Greenauer's boyfriend picked me up. We went to visit Kim at her work at Golden Ponds. I haven't seen her since I moved to the Masiellos, I missed her. While we were at the restaurant, we watched the Big Wigs Show. It's basically a drag queen show, where to gentlemen/ladies lip-sync and do stand-up-comedy. It was very funny. One of the ladies, I could have really mistaken for a woman. She had a feminine face, an alto voice, and legs, that all women could envy. The other one was no mystery. She had a deep man's voice, but it made the show very funny. The costumes, which were made by the feminine lady, were fabulous. They "sang" songs by famous divas, such as Celine Dion, Cher, and Tina Turner, and they had matching costumes for all their celebrities. People went up to them, to give them dollar tips, and take pictures with them.
  It was a very funny experience. This wasn't my first drag comedy show, and we have some cross-dressers in our country too, although very rarely seen. I never judge anybody based on their sexual preferences, but if they're able to laugh about themselves, I like to laugh with them. And apart from being very inappropriate with their jokes, they were hilarious, I enjoyed the show.
  I was happy that I got to see Kim again. Life rushes forward and takes everyone with, we rarely find time to write to or meet our friends. And that's pretty sad. But I'll try to keep in contact more.
The show lasted till around 10. A good and fun way to spend a Friday night.

I met "Cher", and made a face
