another chat-with-your-friends meme

[cellio]

I saw this in several people's journals and was curious, so now it's here, in slightly modified form.

If you comment, and I can...

1. I'll respond with something I like about you.
2. I'll name something we should do together.
3. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
4. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
5. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
6. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you, if I have such a thought.

If I do this for you, please post this in your journal so you can do the same for other people.

3. It is the other way round.

6. Nope. None of it. I stink at solo performance; I get stage fright and forget the lyrics. I sang solos in college because they were required for graduation, and the tape of my senior recital is stunningly awful. In high school I did a couple of nervous recitals and had some short solos riffs within choral pieces, but that was it. I used to occasionally do bardic circles but gave them up after it became clean that they didn't work for me. I still have occasional dreams of musical theater, but I doubt it will ever happen.

There are the Savoyards locally, if you ever wanted to try that out.

In non-musical theatre, it seems like you would be really good at commedia del'arte.

Oh, and a bonus 3 because I lost my mental note about it (and as an apology for being unable to come up with something good for 5):

Savoyards - Nah, like I said, I get stage fright and forget lyrics and lines.

But I would LOVE to do the Commedia stuff, since improv means never having to say you forgot your line. Of course I don't have the time now, with the kids. For years I've been telling I Genisii that if Katerina ever gets tired of the "Merry Widow" role I'd be happy to take it someday, but that might hit a little too close to home now.

There's a Pennsic-specific commedia troupe (sort of analogous to the known world choir). Some year when you're not busy running the choir that might be a fun opportunity for you.

"Merry widow": on the one hand, too close to home -- on the other, so obviously different from reality that it might work well for you. Impossible to say in advance, I suspect.
