Two more days of anxious anguish until I find out my fate regarding The Mikado – it seems I have probably got the role of Yum Yum, the female lead, but things could still happen in the next two days to thwart my hopes. I was the only girl called back for the part, so logic tells me that I should have it… but who knows. I can’t sleep very well; I just keep imagining turning up to the first rehearsal and being told that somebody else got the part.
I was talking about this with my shrink, and he said something that shocked a little: “If you get this part, it will really change your life”. It seems incredibly silly to place so much importance on something like a role, but on closer examination, I think he’s right. Confidence is a huge issue for me – for a long time I couldn’t sing in front of people without shaking, and going to tutorials at university is such a huge deal for me because I am so shy and anxious. If I get it, I think it will be ‘the thing’ that changes me; from being a fraidy cat to being “unstoppable”, as Don put it. We’ll see!

I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!
You’re listening to Lior? I’m obsessed with Daniel, but I don’t know any other songs. Is Lior a band or a guy?

Too much analyzing will ruin the surprise at the very end!

Congratulations love – you deserved a break like this and it’s been a long time coming.
I quite possibly have a better idea than previously suggested for Friday night …Simpsons movie? (Let me know so I can book). Hopefully by this time I’ll be able to walk normally after wreckage on the slopes last weekend!

Syar – I’m not sure! I just know that “This Old Love” as somehow on my iPod after visiting a friend’s house, and now I’m obsessed with the chord progression in the introduction.
Jen – Thank you very much.. now that all this stress is gone, I can actually read your blog again, so yay!
Cherie – Oh, I know.. but I’m a Virgo!
X – Thank you Pau.. I mean X! Good though – I hadn’t made a booking yet. Simpson’s movie could be good, I would have nothing to wear to Cafe La anyway.
