i had courage
so I'm proud. I was singing at the zoo with Chamber Choir, and we were singing underground because we thought that it would sound groovy. It did. So we went above ground and a *coughHANDSOMEcough* male stopped us and said, "That was really great, but can you sing "O Holy Night"? That's my favorite Christmas song." We were all like, sure. We had the music in our folders and everything. We made sure to let him know that it would sound kind of weird because we didn't have sopranos. 'Specially since there are points where the sopranos sing alone. We were all singing and then, on the spur of the moment, I began to sing the highest part, right where they were supposed to sing alone. It sounded amazing. And people smiled at me.
I want a flamingo feather and a porcupine quill for Christmas.
EDIT: I'm not normally all giddy and self-assured. Really. This is a new thing for me. So I'm sorry if I come off a little bit full of myself. I'm not. I swear. In fact, I'm generally known as ego-less. It was a really cool feeling because the boy who I was singing across from kinda looked at me and he smiled as he sang, because he knew that I shouldn't be singing that part but he was glad that it sounded good. And I could practically /feel/ the other, amazing singers turn their gaze in my direction.
This was one of the few times that I didn't mind getting a little bit of attention from a large group.
And flamingo feathers are pretty, as are porcupine quills. I've decided that they're good luck.
