'My gift is my song'

Yesterday and today I have been at work for normal people hours. Work is insane at the moment because of Christmas, but even when it's that busy it reminds me why I like that I'm headed into a profession which has no such standard hours. Much more interesting.
Having said that, there are a couple of funny moments I want to share from today. The first was a conversation that went as follows (well, in my ears anyway)
Guy: Do you have quickies?
Me: *thinks: EXCUSE ME?* Sorry, what did you say?
Guy: Do you have Quick-eze here, for indigestion.
Me: *stifles a laugh* Oh, of course. Over here.
The other was that a total pain in the arse customer ended up yelling at a colleague for something that she could do nothing about ... and then another customer (who I happen to know because she taught the hip hop class I did in year 9, ... oh shut up) totally ripped into her saying stuff like 'if you had come in 3 weeks ago they would have been able to help you, the staff are lovely here and don't deserve people like you making their life difficult' or something to that effect. It was all I could do to not to grin like an idiot.
DAY01: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
DAY02: Nine things about yourself.
DAY03: Eight ways to win your heart.
1. Serenade me with this, or this, or this. Actually, sing to me at all and I will probably love you. I am a muso and a sap, so it kinda figures.
2. Mean what you say, and follow through.
3. Be able to talk music with me. Loving it helps too.
4. Put up with my fangirling over Disney. Or even better: share my love of Disney.
5. Surprise me. Well, nice surprises anyway.
6. This goes for anyone, actually, but make time for me. Not just say you will, but actually do it.
7. Get along with my friends. Yep. They mean the world to me, and I won't ever give them up for anyone.
8. Sit through a musical. Honestly, if they aren't your thing and you'll do that for me you are totally a keeper. <3
DAY04: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
DAY05: Six things you wish you’d never done.
DAY06: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever).
DAY07: Four turn offs.
DAY08: Three turn ons.
DAY09: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
DAY10: One confession.
Random fact: mum made gnocchi pasta bake for dinner. She makes it very very hard to stick to this low-carb thing properly XD

Oh I wish I could find a man who would sit watching musicals with me too. That'd be glorious.

That may or may not have been the reason I added you in the first place... <3
Finding Nemo & The Emperor's New Groove. Yes, two.
Favourite 'princess' movie is Beauty and the Beast.
Wouldn't it be epic? :)

Good list. :)

AHAHAHAH I forget that this is a term I use, and my friends use, but isn't necessarily a commonly used one! Muso = music nerd, or in the sense I use it someone who lives and breathes music. Going to link you to a fb group I made so you get the idea...
Why thank you.
