Things I've Done
May. 22nd, 2009 12:08 pmOh, I did a very crazy thing. Very crazy indeed. It goes a little like this:
* The school at which I work puts on an annual revue-type thing.
* There's always a staff item in said revue-type thing.
* I am a member of staff.
And this year, for some insanity-driven reason, I decided that I should take those last two points and draw some sort of logical conclusion from them. Oh yes, the shy, self-conscious person decided it would be an idea of sorts to stand on a stage in front of actual people and perform a dance routine. Not on my own, admittedly; I haven't quite reached that level of crazy.
Opening night was last night. And you know what? Some sort of miracle occurred in which the only part of me that was nervous was my knees. It was quite annoying, really, considering I rather rely on them to stand up and move about and so on. But I went and had a firm chat with them and they got over it, which is convenient when you understand that I was put in the very front row and needed to look at least partially co-ordinated.
I still can't believe I wasn't nervous. Seriously, I used to have panic attacks before doing two minute oral presentations at school. But no - there I was, standing in the wings as we waited for our cue and I wasn't afflicted by nervousness at all. Not even in my knees.
Speaking of crazy things I've done recently, why not have a look at this video in which I confess to another?
I promise never to do that again. Ever.
