butterflies engaging in civil war in my tummy

The audition for the Opera Academy is this weekend…THREE DAYS OF IT!!! Please, everybody send me good-luck-vibes this Friday at 10:30 am California time (That’s 5:30 pm Continental, for those of us speaking funny languages). This is my chance to be a professional opera singer…I’ll check back in when it’s all over.

iiiiii…aaaaaa…iiiiii…ooooooo…
nnnnnnnnnnnnnn…
Scarlet wanders off vocalizing and trying to get un-nervous enough to breathe from her diaphragm

I’ll wish you luck over and over until then, and even afterwards


I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.

You’ve got all my best wishes, Scarlet. Break a leg!
