Butterflies

Unfortunately not the pretty ones. Just the ones in my stomach.

They have been a flap, flap, flapping all day so far.

Why? You ask. Because after reading this post by Dating Dummy, particualy this part:

"It turns out that by creating your own inertia and momentum - having a life, being sociable, taking care of your own interests - it creates a kind of energy that people naturally become attracted to."

I decided that it was time to get out there and do something new and exciting that I have never done before. Ever since I dropped out of Uni at the tender age of 18 I have always made a point of constantly learning by doing evening courses and things. But they have always been of the academic variety so this time I decided it was time for something new.

So tonight I start a vocal coaching course. It is only a hour and a half once a week but I am completely scared out of my mind because I seriously have no idea whether I am completely tone deaf or with a little bit of help I will manage to hold a tune.

I'm excited too (in a kind of paralysed by fear sort of way). I really hope that I will manage to meet some new people and gain some extra confidence from this. Because as I state in my profile I am painfully shy around strangers.

I'll let you know how I get on!

Me and signing are like oil and water. They don't mix now and won't every mix in the future. I can't hold a tune at all. Can't dance either.
