I Will Go Down Will This Ship

Coffee house tonight. It's like a talent show put on by the school. I'm going up twice; once with three others to do a Clap Happy routine, and another time by myself singing a song. I tried singing the song last time we had coffee house, but I was bumped off the list because people thought I "didn't want to do it." I wasn't the only bumped off and another student had to go and re-assign himself on the list. But last time, it was held by the Farm students and there was basically one girl who was on the stage at all times trying to hog the glory. I thought I was fine with it when they didn't call my name, but later I broke down into tears. I was going out on an emotional limb and it felt as though they shot me down.

So I'm going to try again tonight. Totally not ready for this, but at the same time I have been practicing. It's never easy to go up on stage, especially alone. Really, it's the anticipation that kills me than the actual performance. I know I won't break no matter how much I think I will. I just need incentive to keep plowing forward and do it. So, without further ado, wish me luck!

  3. I know you can do it (although this is a little late. I apologize). You are one of the best singers I know. If they don't like you then they are all a bunch of no talent stuck up snobs. You have tons of courage. I can't sing in public. I just get to nervous and then things go down hill from there. But you kow that already from the coffee house we did the first time. I hope things went well for you. I always have you in my thoughts if you need a prayer. <3
