Nothing Keeps Me Warm Like Stage Lights...

I quite naturally run below temperature I'm usually at least 1.5 degrees short of the normal 98.6 degrees that is normal. I'm just cold like that...I don't know why. I do know that for at least two hours after I was off that stage I was still positively burning up. I absolutely detest stage lights...so why was I somewhere with stage lights? The answer lies in the fact that I love to sing...and that my band and I just so happen to have won a competition (If you could call it a competition) last year. We went to a foreign language festival of sorts (more of a nerd fest but hey I'm a nerd) and there was a talent show, my boyfriend who just so happens to be Mexican decided he could teach the whitest girl on the planet to sing a song all in Spanish...and so he did...we won the competition....people were asking if I was Argentinean...asking if we had merchandise...asking if we were going to be playing at the local venues. No, no, and no. No, I am not Argentinian...I am quarter Italian and a fraction of a million other things. No, we don't have merchandise we can't even truly practice because every ten minutes one of the boys wants pizza. No, we won't be playing at the local venues...we don't have any original material finished. We have lyrics courtesy of me, we have guitar riffs courtesy of my fluffy haired boyfriend, we have some nice drum and bass parts courtesy of one whiny blonde boy, and one mutual friend...but NOTHING goes together. I suppose that's what happens when one person likes progressive/conceptual music, one likes new punk, one likes classical and metal, and another likes hair metal...ENTIRELY different views on what the music should sound like. Regaurdless of the fact that we don't have any material...I don't really want to play at any local venues anyway...center stage is a bittersweet place for me. I both love and hate attention. I'm horribly shy and afraid of dissappointing. Still...the boyfriend is determined to get me out of my shell...and he rarely fails when he sets his mind to something so we'll see where all of this goes.
