Not cold and flu season stuff, but the big maladies that can cut your life short. Cancer. AIDS. Auto-Immune disorders. Finding out I or someone I love has contracted one of these horrible sicknesses would devastate me. I'm definitely afraid of that happening one day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-73712369088179424752011-11-18T14:44:36.359+02:002011-11-18T14:44:36.359+02:00That guy loses man points for that!

I have never performed any of my music live, and it took serious guts to even admit to anyone that I'd written it. Whenever I'm playing in front of other people (which is very rare), I get kind of...timid and crappy with the playing. I don't play properly, just strum without any proper rhythm, and if I should even dare to sing...well, that's a little mouse's voice right there. haha<br /><br />In general, I just hate being the centre of attention. While I secretly (well, not so secretly now!) crave praise and adulation for my 'creative' stuff, I still don't want anyone looking at me while they give it. I hate public speaking, hate teaching (I've tried it), and just all-round hate a roomful of people staring at me. I guess I've got the stage fright of life! But I still make myself be outgoing and I make myself get out & be amongst people. Or else I'd totally be a cat lady librarian hermit by now. (the only thing I'm not is the hermit)<br /><br />But let me shut up now! Except to say that my email is tay [dot] sedai [at] gmail [dot] com<br /><br />You got an email from that address recently after I ordered your book so you probably have it in your inbox already :)<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />TrishaTrishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-67509206369873639292011-11-18T14:13:09.784+02:002011-11-18T14:13:09.784+02:00Being noticed.Being noticed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
