I feel pretty, oh so pretty!

Today was Yom Kippur and so like a good jew I fasted. Well I tried. I gave up around noon. It's okay though because I'm sick. Kind of. Well I went to temple and while I was there I was thinking of all the amazing things that happened as a result of my Bat Mitzvah.

It was something I was so hesitant about. I was scared shitless. I couldn't go up there and sing in a language that I couldn't understand to my whole family and friends. There were many fights between my parents and I, let me tell you. I was dead-set against it. Finally, I gave in and agreed. I had many anxiety attacks but it was so worth all the work. For one of the first times in my life I was the center of attention, and I grew to love it. That probably explains my adoration of being on stage.

Speaking of the stage, I have to have the accent of a southern belle. Of course I turned to Scarlett O'Hara. Then I thought about it and realized that the director might want me to be a little sillier than proper. So, that's fun.

Another sidenote, my parents have sirius satellite radio and I am totally mooching. It's absolutely fantastic. Their Broadway channel is a new guilty pleasure of mine, as is the 80's on 8. This is not going to end well.
