monday artday: castaway

I haven't posted on Monday Artday in a looooooooooong time.  One of the newest challenges is "castaway."  It came to mind for me more as cast - away.  When I was in junior high, one of my friends was really into theater and was trying out for the town's production of Grease.  She was my friend, and she really liked acting and singing and I thought, well, maybe I would too.  I decided to tryout with her (this is actually pretty shocking looking back, as I was a shy kid).  

Well, not to brag or anything, I have been told by more than one that I do have the worst voice in history, a fact I was oblivious to when I was twelve.  So I got up on stage, insisted I sing my piece acapella, and I let myself become awash with the emotional and physical struggles of the young orphan Annie (I'm not actually sure this is what I sung, but for dramatic purposes):  

My friend, who was talented, landed a part.  I did not.  I still feel for the casting directors for what I must have put them through.
