I've been coasting on an adrenaline rush for the past few days. Who needs drugs when your body pumps out an endless stream of the smoothest, most reliable intoxicant you could ever want? I feel like I could lift a car or chew through wire cable or set the room on fire with my eyes like Drew Barrymore in that creepy Stephen King movie

But you will be brilliant tonight darling you know it!

[fab_boy]

Thank you, Emily. Deep down I know it, but those first-night jitters are undeniable. And even if you're fully confident in your own abilities, you can never predict what supporting factors could fall apart. It's one of the biggest productions I've ever staged and I just hope there aren't too many bumps and wrinkles.

Well you know that everything that can be is sorted. Its the unpredicatable bits, the things you can't know that are making you crazy.

Embrace the anxious, and let it fuel you with those lovely endorphins.

Though I think there might be some who are hoping that perhaps you might show up naked! Now there would be a distraction for those pesky critics!

I have got to come to New York and see you again.

[fab_boy]

I think you do :-*

[jonne_aaron]

is it bad luck to wish you good luck? i'm sure you're amazing.

[fab_boy]

I think "break a leg" only counts for the theater set. I hope so, anyway. I'm not terribly superstitious, anyway. I think bad things happen to me just to increase my dramatic tragedy. I aspire to be an opera heroine, yet to still somehow live to old age.

You're sure, huh? I like that confidence. Maybe you'll get to see it for real someday. I'd like that.

There you are, nibbling on the King again. I do like that icon.

I saw Drew Barrymore and got distracted. No seriously though, I really hope it goes well. Are you doing "You Go to My Head?"

[fab_boy]

Drew is magic.

It went beautifully, thanks. Well, the usual hiccups and backstage freakouts, but overall, I pulled it off. Of course I sang "You Go to My Head"! I was a stickler, down to the banter breaks. Different banter, of course, but I did a great Judy-walk. Somewhere between a prance, strut, and flounce.

I feel so lucky at getting to witness this performance.

God, that sounded incredibly cheesy and fanboyish, even to me. Still, I have a tiny sense of how you must feel, even though covering a Jimi Hendrix song in a small dark Village bar is light years away from what you're doing.

[fab_boy]

It's a bit of an apples-and-oranges situation, for sure. But then again, there's a universal thread in all pre-show jitters.

[ricknossa]

Very much apples-and-oranges, yes. But, no pun intended, because even I wouldn't make one this bad, they are both still fruits. Perfect icon to illustrate the light years between them, too.
