Tell Me 2 Things - Part Deux
Family vacation to Niagra Falls, CanadaChristmas dinner at Grandma's house with all my relatives
TM2 of the things that you want to do but haven't yet.
1) I'm a pretty good singer despite my terrible smoking habit, thanks to 4 years of voice lessons and performing in semi-professional musicals and various local venues. I was so much better when I was a teenager, still smoking but before the damage. I performed Phantom of the Opera when I was 17 and I certainly couldn't hit those notes now over a decade late, especially because we didn't use mics so we were expected to belt to the cheap seats. Impossible for me to do now. Smoking is the worst.2) I strictly wear dresses; I've only worn pants when I've been forced to. One of my mom's favorite home videos = three-year-old me sobbing because she wants me to wear a pants/sweater ensemble for my sister's baby shower. "THEY'RE UGLY," I cry at one point, kicking the jeans off my bed and collapsing dramatically. The video cuts to hours later at the actual baby shower and I'm wearing the pants and trying to convince my sister-in-law to watch me read something because I'd just taught myself how to read. She fully didn't care lol.
