akeyoftimeI'm so close to the end of this essay... and all I can think is that I really, really want to re-write it. Oh well! It'll be done tommorow by five and that's that. Because OMG ENOUGH ALREADY. I have so much else to do. I used some of the tips you guys provided, so what I hand in should be about six and a half to seven pages, which was the absolute minimum I was hoping for.
Kevin has cut one of my Freezer stories. That's alright, as I was stressing about having to perfect the two of them. I look forward to Fridge, even as I dread it!
I got a V.I.P. (Very Involved Person) Award at the GME supper tonight! I wasn't expecting anything (all I do is show up and sing) and I'm not even graduating, but there they went and called my name after saying a lot of really nice things. The award itself is "For continued dedication, cheerfulness, and a contagious smile." All of us who have been around for four years or more (I believe Vicki and Margaret would use the term "Lifers") got a little something. The whole thing is a little cheesy, but sue me, I like a little bit of cheesy. It made me smile even more, which seemed appropriate. We sang an awful lot tonight and that was wonderful.

Congratulations! Isn't it sooo cool, when you receive something out of the blue? It's the weirdest feeling - in your words, a bit cheesy - but it's all good. It feels wonderful! Congratulations! Yippeee!
I like to sing too, but for the life of me - I cannot hold a note together very well, unless I am singing along with the vocals. Ha...

In my experience, most people sing better than they give themselves credits for!

Date: 2007-03-23 10:16 pm (UTC)My Father-in-Law has a voice like that. He sings all of the time and all of the time he sings, he melts my heart. He has a very good voice. He sings a lot like Frank Sinatra.
My Husband too, has a very soothing singing voice. I always have good naps when he sings karaoke. I'll put my head on his lap, he will sing and the next thing you know I'm in Happy La La Land. It's great. But, when I'm awake and listen to him sing, it brings me great joy because his voice is so beautiful.
I'm okay. I wasn't trying to say I have a frightfully scary voice when I sing. But, I'll have to say I'm either an alto or a tenor. I cannot get those soprano notes at all.
But, you are right. Everyone can sing. They just need to find the right songs or something that they are good at singing at.
More power to you.
Take Care and Much Love,
