crossing the singing finish line

[fox]

college advent/carol service tonight, and that's the last singing i'm slated to do for this term. and i'm glad -- i love it, but five performances for three choirs in ten days is quite a lot, you know what i'm saying?

being that it was my own college tonight, a lot of people in the audience congregation were people i knew. and they were very complimentary about the choir -- some people even used the word "excellent", which i think is a little generous; we were better than we had any reason to expect, but we were by no means much more than good, if that. (and when you only rehearse for half an hour a week, what do you expect? i mean, i'm not actually complaining.)

highlight of the evening: downstairs neighbor L, whom i know casually (speech is deadly -- devastating one-two combination of public-school accent and absolute deadpan delivery at all times) said to me, in the bar about an hour and a half ago, "[real name], i'm told you have an exquisite voice. is that true?"

anh. i wasn't really looking for "signs" -- i'm just pleased that people are apparently praising my voice. :-) we know what's really important, after all.

is he cute? or, perhaps I should ask first, is it a he?

he (yes) is quite cute, actually -- dark hair, cheekbones that could cut glass (to match the accent, really), charming smile, broad shoulders, etc. if i were interested, people would compliment my excellent taste. :-)
