You'll be fine, take it from me.

!@#$%! 01.15.2007 09:04 AM

i know this sounds absurd buttake a deep breath and try to enjoy yourself--when you enjoy yourself your audience enjoys too even if all is not perfect. forget perfectionism and just relax and you'll be ok.

Good luck with that Slavo. Ugh a drag school started again. I'll be on Gossip all day today, especially since my 4 hour class was cut short to an hour. I hate presentations too, and I'm always too shy to go up.

Thanks Jico, I think I'll always need a little more self confidence :(

fishmonkey 01.15.2007 09:57 AM

Come on the SLAV!!

sock it to em dude. imagine them all naked and stuff.

you'll be fine man, and if you fuck it up remember your still a cool fucker.

_slavo_ 01.15.2007 10:19 AM

Yeah, damn, it went FINE AS FUCK !

And, thanks to you guys. After I had read them couple of replys before the presentation (and taken those pills by jico), I said to myself: what the fuck, it's all just role play anyway.

And I rocked the house pretty much.

Thanks for the boost fellas, this place is of at least some use from time to time.

Really appreciate you all, I'll try to rep you if I can.

_slavo_ 01.15.2007 10:22 AM

I repped Inhuman, sonicl and jico, the others are too damn popular so I couldn't ;-)

Inhuman 01.15.2007 10:42 AM

Glad it went well man! And what, and I not popular enough? ;)

Most of the musicians I know eat bananas when they are nervous before performing. I don't know if it works (seems to), but I've been doing it for a long time. Might be just a placebo effect type thing, but I've eaten them for presentations too.

no, fuck me running, those pills are REAL?

Hell, pills for SELF CONFIDENCE?

What do they contain, cocaine? :D

noumenal 01.15.2007 11:36 AM

Well, I mean actual bananas, the yellow phallic fruit. I usually eat one right before performing--it's a ritual more than anything, I suppose.



 


I've heard people say it's the potassium, but I'm not so sure about that. It's probably just the calming effect of peeling the fruit and the act of masticating the soft flesh probably brings back memories of being fed bananas as a little kid, peanut butter and banana sandwiches and whatnot.

I feel embarassed now.
