I'm in a show, and tomorrow is the last run thru before we actually move onstage and will rehearse with all the props and lights and set pieces, and I'm pretty nervous. I mean, I've been in shows before, but this is my first time as a main character, with like my own story and songs and stuff.
I'm nervous/excited at the same time.
 ;D :-\  ??? :o

That's terrific!  Break a leg!  I know you'll be great.  I'm sure you'll find habit taking over with the "where do I step" and "when does the music start" part, so you can sink deeper into the "I'm being a great character!"

Well, the photos with the smiling couple are even older then. I was referring to these photographs ...

Apparently, they were taken during the Victorian Era.

Awww, those are adorable!  It's nice to have a reminder that not everyone was sitting up stiffly and staring sternly back in the 19th century.

So, this is pretty irrelevant to the current conversation here...

What is the play? Who are you are playing? Details? Are you giving autographs later? I want one!
Good luck to you!! :D

Yes, that's exactly what I thought when I saw it! :)

u can do it, SolarPoweredGirl!!!!!!


i also did a sort of stage thing today?? I already mentioned earlier how I got asked to perform my poems in the city hall, which was very random....... turns out it was as some kinda cultural entertainment for a monthly ~*Official Meeting*~. I mean it wasn't very huge or on an actual stage or anything, and i got to go before they started discussing Economics,,,, but I felt an immense satisfaction at answering "I'm the author" and seeing their incredibly impressed faces before I left, so I'm feeling pretty good right now
you'll know where to find me.

The bottom right one just shows that things don't change much.  The way the woman is hiding her face with her hand and the way the man is trying to move her hand so that she can be seen.

@Chizu, you know what I mean.

Congratulations :D

By the way, does the forum already have a kind of "happiness thread" (A better name could be found I'm sure) ? I see a lot of little (or bigger) happiness moments here, in a former forum we had one thread to share that kind of good moments.

*stumbles-in*

Finally picked me an avatar, but I'm not sure if it's not too big. I used to make 100x100 avatars, but they look tiny in Photoshop these days. So I made a bigger one and it looks huge in that upper corner next to my stats. :/
What do you think? Too big?

Looks fine to me.  Is that your artwork?  It's very eye-catching!
