The Poetry Eye-Roll

I can only console you, Stephan, by one upping you. There is something worse than the poetry eye roll. It is the opera horn head blowing glass shatter. I sang in the D.C. area in all the big venues professionally until I couldn't do it anymore- so competetive and draining- but whilst I did, I'd meet people and they'd ask me what I did. I'd tell them, I'm an opera singer. The reaction 90% of the time was to look at me like a freak, ask me if I liked opera, ask me what opera was it the gal wore the horns and could I shatter glass.....Now? The only folks who have it worse are male ballet dancers, but they are staring at their own incredibly firm buttocks in the mirror as they arabesque and glissade, so they don't notice. Maybe that's the answer. Go for asking for time off for your ballet class and then put your big ole footsies in fourth position and gracefully plie.Tell your boss it's so refreshing and limbering. Hehehehe. Just kidding....C
