Hi! It’s me! Lily!!!
The girls are over tonight. We’re trying to spend as much time together as we can, because, well… it’s going away soon. I mean, yes, Beth, Crystal, and Diana will still be around, it won’t be the same… for any of us.
Sometimes we’re sad, but… we’re also trying to just enjoy our time together while it lasts.
Yuki’s giving idol lessons to the girls. Some of the non-local ones are listening in via facetime. It’s not like they’re going to make a career of it, so she’s just telling stories and helping them learn how to fake a beautiful smile. Crystal needs the most work. She’s pretty intense, but her smile is a little creepy when she’s trying too hard.
Beth’s kinda soaking it up, though. She’s thinking about becoming a model, and she’s really thinking of becoming a singer, at least for a hobby, so being able to fake a good mood is a good skill to have. That’s a little sad, but I guess I can understand it. Crystal also thinks she can use some of these lessons for her band. I mean, yeah, it’s not like her band is supposed to be some cheerful idol group, but a little stage presence never hurts, and Yuki IS a pro. She’d be a fool to not take the free coaching, and she knows it. Heck, even I’m learning a few things. Being a pianist is a very different skillset than being an idol, but a few things do track.
Oh, did I mention? Some folks saw her band perform at our grand opening, and they have gigs now! Nothing at the HEB center, but I guess some cafe wanted her to play, and they get to play every now and then at the MT as well (it’s an asian supermarket with a stage for a live band).
Anyway, we’re full of pizza and chocolate, and we have some fun stuff planned for tomorrow, so I guess it’s time for bed.
