Hi all
I am a long time lurker and I thought I would try join and share my two penny's worth. I must say I love hearing your stories that you get up to and its been a big inspiration for me.
My one caveat is that I can never tell which posts are fiction and which are real. I have some suspicions, but I like to try and assume they are all real but know that this isn't the case. Some seem like such total fiction that I can't believe that it really happened. ( Bit like UFOS really!)
Well I wanted to share something which did happen to me and hopefully it will inspire others out there.
This year I joined a theatre group and we had our Christmas party last week. One of the guys was meant to be in sketch with another 3 girls and a guy. He was going to be playing a girl in drag which was the comedy surprise as he was so butch. Anyway he's pulled out and they asked me to do it.
Needless to say I was playing reluctant with wanting to do it but secretly i couldn't wait. I was dancing around the house when I realised what was going to happen.
Here are some of the things I did:
- I went dress shopping in a store called Evans in BHS and another shop called simply be in Oxford street, London with one of the girls in the sketch. What an amazing day out!
- The girls were even sending me messages about how they are going to do my makeup and teach me how to walk and are having fun with it.
- The show was a blast and I had so much fun being treated like one of the girls.
Sounds like total fiction I know....but I don't mind if people believe me or not but personally it was a dream come true. I think we all have a tendency to be fantasists and live in our dreams but just occasionally it comes true.
For those of you that want that to happen to you. Join a theatre group or performance geoup. You will learn a lot and meet lots of fun people. It's a lot of fun and occasionally you can live out your dreams and have a lot of fun even for one night.
I might turn it into a story but my writing has gotten so bad in the last 14 years that it might just stay in my memory as a fun time.
Hope this inspires you all and thanks for sharing your stories- it really has given me a lot of courage to find where I sit.
Best
Sarah
