Rock Star

source

As early as I can remember, I wanted to be a rock star.

Not just a rock star. I wanted to be Jem.

The pink hair, the magic star earrings, the wild make up.

I wanted to be just like her.

But really, I just wanted attention.

I couldn't sing. I couldn't dance.

But I loved to talk.

Ham it up.

Always the boss.

The center of attention.

For several years, I was Jem for Halloween.

I remember in Kindergarten, my teacher let me MC for the "Christmas" concert.

I was always in choir.

But as I got older, the tomboy side of me won out.

I played sports and excelled at fastpitch, playing from 7 until 18.

I always wanted to be in plays, drama, but never had the time.

So choir was it.

I loved to sing. I still love to sing.

I don't care anymore if I am any good at it.

Goose likes it when I sing.

Some of my best memories from school come from choir.

Girls choir. Symphonic Choir (mixed). And Jazz Choir.

Jazz Choir was a 0 hour class, audition only.

I was proud to be a part of "JC."

And finally, a break in my fastpitch schedule Senior year.

I signed up for my first (and only) play.

"Good News."

I even had a speaking part.

It was a musical and I still can't dance.

But it was the most fun I ever had.

I'm still a show off.

I still like to be the center of attention.

And, I think, that is why I blog.

For the attention.

To have a captive audience to listen to my crazy so my husband doesn't have to.

And to show off a bit.

I would never do it in person.

But on MY blog I can just yell

LOOK AT ME!

LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!!

LOOK!

LOOK!

LOOK!

LOOK AT ME!!!

I think I still want to be a rock star when I grow up.

Yup.

I also wanted to be the president.

Again for the attention.

And

Cuz I would then be the boss of everyone!
