Someone recently asked me to tell them a secret about myself and I thought I would share my responses:
My backup plan in life is to become a body piercer. Why, you might ask? My reasoning:
- After perfecting the craft, I could work anywhere in the country/world.
- When you’re a body piercer, you can have as many visible piercings/tattoos as you want and no one will think twice about it.
- I could wear jeans to work (and would NEVER have to wear high heels!).
- Making someone else’s day is always a great feeling.
- Most piercing/tattoo establishments play pretty good music.
- Wholesale body jewelry prices!
- I think I would be ridiculously good at it.
I have a secret desire to play Velma Kelly in a production of Chicago, even though I have no previous theater experience. Like my favorite musical character ever. She sings some great numbers, and in the movie I found Catherine Zeta-Jones’ character much more dynamic than Renee Zellweger’s.
I wish I was still in a rock band. I love performing and I feel like this is one of the only ways I am not “too old” to do it, as I am now past my drum corps and marching band careers. One of my favorite parts of being in Shelter[ed] was being able to dedicate songs. I also think song-writing is such a good and creative release. I’d love to be able to do it again. Maybe this time I would play something besides the drums since those turned out to be such a pain to lug around (although I can’t imagine playing anything else!).
Two days ago, I finally admitted to myself that I probably should have marched drum corps this summer. It’s my age-out summer, and my rationale for not marching was so I could “get a real job.” Well, it’s the end of July and I still don’t have a full-time job lined up, I never see my boyfriend or family, and I’ve barely saved any money. Doesn’t sound like anything is any different than if I had decided to march, except that I I don’t have a tan and I’ve been sleeping in a real bed all summer. I love Phantom Regiment and Glassmen’s shows this year and would have loved to be part of either one of them. *sigh*
