And The Curtains Fall

May 3rd , 2005 is a very climactic and tumultuous day for me - it marks my first ever official "public performance" (not including last year's Company Christmas Party) here in Austin, Texas. Hell, in the good ole U. S. of A, baby! And it was awesome! For once, I just knew everything would be okay. I didn't hold back, I was unafraid, I just shared and enjoyed, I wasn't even afraid of any migraines coming in because for some reason, I just knew I wouldn't have any. I'd be okay. Albeit... work was nutz today. I couldn't think. Must get those meds to wear off. But I digress. Tonight was fantastic! The class was awesome, most everyone performed at their best, Brad, Dawn, Chris, Tina and Jason made it. .. and oh did we just have a mighty fun time. And I was the finale! Anne put me as the finale! Everyone was saying how perfect (as in appropriate... I *did* have my own bloopers ;)) and cute (yuck! :P) of a finale it was and by the end of the show, everyone was singing my song ;D

I was able to say goodbye and hugs to Michelle, Anne, our director, Meredith, our other director, and Jason, our accompanist (whom I really admire). Afterwards, Adrianna invited us to go the bar she works at - Aussie's! Since I hadn't had dinner yet, I had myself a "Roo" (their version of a burger) and a virgin Pina Colada (couldn't risk getting drunk as I have MORE work to do tonight plus risk of migraines). Anyhow, Jesi, Joel, Adrianna, and I all exchanged email addresses and numbers so we'd keep in touch after all is said and done, and probably take voice lessons in the near future. I was so touched by Adrianna's words to me tonight. She honestly caught me by surprise. She gave me the biggest complements ever. .. Ah well, It is almost half past the witching hour so I must keep this short and get back to working. I just have to let this all out.

Next target: CELLO LESSONS!!!

Ciao and live life to the fullest baby, yea!!!
