I can't sing. I acted a little in school, but my favourite place to "perform" was on the runway, as a model many years ago!DianeSShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150887037190738569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-4619714215116945352010-02-08T10:19:02.456-08:002010-02-08T10:19:02.456-08:00Kate: blogland angels unite!

Then I have a better time paying attention. I do much better with reading poetry for then I can read everything at least twice :)Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-12935574215227131422010-02-05T02:16:09.566-08:002010-02-05T02:16:09.566-08:00Poets are a law unto themselves and I'm truly ...Poets are a law unto themselves and I'm truly delighted with this situation. But far too many of them aim for Homer rather that Horace. <br />And love'a'duck how often have I listened to the tortured screeching of English words and phrasing beaten into a Haiku.<br />If you have not read the Poet before hand, don't go. And never worry about picking up and departing. That's just plain survival.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-41188020937258768752010-02-04T19:22:13.712-08:002010-02-04T19:22:13.712-08:00Jen: Wow, you did?

I sang in public a couple of times and didn't feel good about it, so I declined until recently, too.

He is always trying to get me to sing with him, because apparently my kitchen and bathroom singing are passable, but on stage my throat does this weird implosion thing and I am quite certain I sound horrible. So I decline. There is a big difference in performing in public and being able to do something without an audience. I have learned my boundaries and I'm good with that.<br /><br />Your family sounds very interesting!Dreamfarm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494214244290730058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-45544320065198357712010-02-04T14:00:05.197-08:002010-02-04T14:00:05.197-08:00My first thought is, why did you not hyphenate you...My first thought is, why did you not hyphenate you're name upon marriage?<br /><br />I think you are right and not right about being good before hitting the stage. <br /><br />Some people have talent and need to hone their craft. They can be minor players for awhile. <br /><br />Others just have no talent. A few stage performances should be enough for them. <br /><br />And then there are a real few who have no actual talent but do okay performing anyway. These are politicians and tv reporters.<br /><br />You should have all those people with myspace pages tell you how to link.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502168917372783418noreply@blogger.com
