First Night
It was fun, I met some awesome people and I have a feeling like this is going to be a good time.
I need to stop being a DIVA though. I don’t spend too much time on the sidelines so its kind of weird to sit back and watch everyone else take the stage. My turn will come, it has been four years and maybe its for the best if I have a small supporting role.
Make the best of it. I can clearly recall that some of my favorite characters in some of m favorite musicals were just there for decoration - like me.
Life in the limelight - gotta love it.
