To the breech dear friends once more!

Well ok - so - it is an extremely naive point of view - but Francesco started kissing my cheek and telling me congratulations for even getting seen for Phantom.  Something about a beautiful gay Italian who feeds you ice cream kissing you on the cheek seems to make even the worst scenarios seem better.  

Jean-Paul pointed out that I have hardly taken ANY singing lessons and have hardly sung in front of anyone so of course I'm going to be inconsistant singing under pressure.  And I had no idea how to handle not being warmed up on top of that.  I'm really kinda a fish out of water at the singer calls.  I get psyched out so easily because until recently I thought my voice was heinous.  Then - somehow - without me putting much if any work into it - it turned reallllly pretty - but I have no idea how or why or how to use it.  It's kind of like not being my brother - and attempting to beat Zelda on the nintendo wii in two days without the cheat codes or game guide.  Just hitting buttons.  Jean-Paul pointed out that my final product could easily be better than Sierra's - but it just needs training - which it has not had.  (But thanks to my mommy will sooooooon!:))  It still made me super miffy the rest of the day.  Even Amanda talking about Europe or Phil talking about Muscato d'Asti jam on his bread couldnt seem to shake the dismal and gloom.  

I also found out they'll be announcing the new Ariel this week - it won't be me - so - in a very silly way - that makes me sad.  One day - when I"m ready  - my time will come - it's getting closer!

I took ballet and Patti's class - where we did a crazy tango-y number - which I actually had fun doing - which is rare - because I normally freak when anything has a spanish flair.  I then subbed for my friend Charlie at work - and met some cool new people.  

I'm 2/3 of the way done with the biblically living book - its still great - I want to read the authors first book called KNOW IT ALL - about reading the encyclopedia.  I love random useless information.  You would THINK I'd be better at games like jeopardy or that weird bar computer trivia game at TGI Fridays  - but alas - I either lack retention or knowledge of pop culture.  Just obscure facts about the guy who wrote the dictionary or "discovered" longitude or why Pluto was demoted from a planet.  

Oh and I just took a quiz on facebook - apparently if I were a Shakespearean character I'd be Hal - I concur most whole heartedly!  "Redeeming time when men least think I will!:)"
