that's SO cool!! there's a suicide awareness workshop i'm participating in in March.. i'm looking forward to it!

i'm in college at the moment for music - classical voice and i took a communications course last semester. i love performing and speaking in front of people i've been performing since i was in grade 1 :)

Really?! Are your nerves made of steel because my stomach gets in knots at the thought of being in front of people haha.



I hope you don't mind I started playing "Heart Transplant" to our team after I saw this.



You better be interning with us someday!! (Seriously, it's a blast here in Florida)



You're not a coward. There are many, many "what if" scenarios that will run through your mind for a long time. But you are not a coward. You will hurt and it will be hard to face the day and others. But you are not a coward. On behalf of all us here at TWLOHA, we're sorry for your loss and hope the days get easier as you move forward. Feel free to contact us via email at info@twloha.com.

i still get so nervous but my drama teacher in high school told me that you always have a better performance if you are nervous :)

i hope it's a snow day tomorrow ;p

will Heave and Light come to Ontario, Canada?! I wanna goooo! :P :D

oh no :( it all depends on the person i guess :P last year in Drama class i did my monologue and it started off with a scream and i went to far into character and froze up and went into a huge panic attack.. definitely not fun at the time but when i look back it gives me a good laugh hahaha
