self-control

pastwatcherI think reading entries on LJ always makes me want to start drawing attention to myself, and so to post--I don't much like that. Does anyone share that feeling? For example, right now I'm feeling quite catty towards a certain person when I suppose I ought to be feeling sympathetic, especially as nobody else is--but I'm tired of that. So I was thinking of posting a rather catty comment. At least I had enough self-control to send it to myself instead, and I really really hope it doesn't end up coming up in conversation. Not enough, though, not to post this.
That said, obligatory post on the Noteables concert, as a break after turning in a paper:
I know![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dianaelaine717 is a better choreographer than I am, but I really am proud of the fact that I came up with not much less than half of the choreo for it--she came up with Telephone Hour and Mama, Look Sharp; I came up with the beginning of Murder, Murder, and the rest was done collaboratively. It was much fun. I don't know if I'll be MD next semester and work with Matt a lot, or be PM again--the latter doesn't seem too likely. But I'm really glad I did it, and I love that both Noteables and the audience seem to think it's a good semester for choreo. That way, even though my voice was good but not spectacular (damn sicknesses, I had exactly what Alexa had it seems, at the same time, though at the moment I can actually talk, at least). I can feel like I really contributed to the concert. And I suppose, after all, that I do like flowers. It'll be nice to have time for the rest of my life...only, I don't want to give up this semester. I don't want to repeat it either, exactly, because I've never before felt like I was /too/ busy to be properly me. But we won't have the same people next semester, and I'm not sure how much I'll feel like it's still the Noteables. It would help if lowellboyslash or khyros or thekinginyellow came back, probably. But the show will go on--and dammit, we WILL recruit more people, and make sure it goes on /past/ next year!! (Yay for september_snow for finding a promised member already, and for Elena for coming back.)
Also, I'm most definitely over a year old in HRSFA now. Yay!

Date: 2006-05-01 11:17 pm (UTC)Anyway, I think you did an amazing job of PM. One of the most important things is simply working well with your co-PM, which you did terrifically. And while perhaps compared to professional choreography Murder, Murder wasn't perfect, it was just the right style and difficulty level for us.
It's exciting to hear that, right off the bat, we know we'll be able to replace half the people we're losing next year. I'm very glad that Elena's coming back, and maybe Alessandro's friend will provide us with a means of recruiting from outside HRSFA :P. That said, though, we need to do a much better job of recruiting next year...
