Public speaking / reading

Holy crap!!! I did it! I spoke in front of about 120 year 12’s, male and female.
I was nervous, shaky and had the world’s driest mouth but we managed to pull it off.
Mario and Jack were a bit nervous too so it was good to not be the only one.
I repeated myself and fumbled my way through it but it gets easier the more you do.
I’ve got another one on Friday.
I went to the spinning room last night. Goosey was busy so I went by myself.
I loved it! Gempires had said that she was preforming. She managed to captivate everyone and was great!
I met a guy, I can’t remember his name but we got chatting and he got up and read his poems. Poetry is such an individual thing. Preforming, reading and writing it.
I got home and read some of my own writing, wrote some more and I now want to maybe, just maybe read some of my own stuff…one day…
It would be sooo – exciting. I don’t know. Because I would be reading my own writing/poetry it would be really hard. Everyone’s really positive and supportive towards each other.
I would want people to read my poetry before ever actually reading aloud.
(One-hour interlude)
My mum just had two goats delivered! There sooo cute! They don’t have names, so mum called the black and white patch one, Charlie, and the other smaller one which is all black I named Jackson.
I’ve been reading one of the three real estate learner’s books, now, only to realise that now I’m nearly half way through. I should be reading the other one.
So, disappointed with my efforts after two hours I think I’ll leave it till tomorrow.
I couldn’t hand in my assignment today so hopefully I’ll and two in on Friday.
I’m writing a short story. It’s something I ‘ve started many, many times before but it always gets boring and I scrap it. Now instead of scrapping it I’m going to give it to Goosey and hopefully she’ll be honest and tell me if it’s crap. This is the newfound confidence I got out of the emerging writers fest. Very exciting!
I stayed up last night playing my guitar and again this morning.
I wish I video taped how I was when I started to now. It’ s been five months and I’ve played pretty much every day. I’m still crap at it, the only thing different is that my fingers have callused so now I can play for hours on end and not feel like I have burnt them!
I have to go read these real estate books, I just wish they weren’t so boring!
