Public school tenor asked me if he should keep his stage make up on tomorrow when he meets his sponsor in order to be sexy/flirtatious. We traded some banter back and forth. 'Glam it up. Show some cleavage.' Etc. I guess I've been openly thirsting over everybody's guyliner to the point where I am the obvious recipient for such jests. He was giving me the gooshy blue eyes again. WHAT IS GOING ONNNNN???
The bouncer who gave me his phone number bravely came folk dancing with me. He found it really hard to get the hang of it at first and then suddenly locked into the waltz which surprised and pleased me so much that I said Yes like five times in a row. The thing is I'm a wordy bitch and I can't fathom just staring at somebody's feet for a few minutes and then doing what they do. I'm like, break it down for me, tell me what I'm looking at. But my explanations didn't seem to help him much whereas letting him alone to watch did.
The baritone who is playing a teapot with hilarious clowning had his stage mascara on today and his eyes were MAGNETIC and I told him so.
I also told the other literary tenor (the public school tenor?) that I was so attracted to him right now cos of the comic role he's playing + his competence at playing it and two little undergrads gaped at me and said 'that's so forward' and I said 'I know he's taken so I can say what I want 😊 ' I feel like I finessed that one.
He remembered me confiding in him about feeling anxious to ask out the hot tenor and came up to ask me how it went. Friend?? Care me??? And he gave me the gooshy eyes again. PUBLIC SCHOOL TENOR WHAT DOES IT MEAN???
It'd be funny as hell if I DID hit upon a polyamorous tenor in all this.
Also my best friend was supremely useless [affectionate] because when I had a crush on a conventionally attractive man back in 2013 she told me 'he looks like an alien was given a description of a handsome man and modelled one out of clay' so I showed her a video of the hot tenor expecting her to deliver some similar judgement and instead she just said, 'yup, that's a hot tenor 😬'
LADS I did it I asked the hot tenor if he's poly and if he wants to go on a date with me I did it over text was this because I was too scared to talk to him face to face YES do I have the excuse that he left super promptly after our last concert of the year while I was visibly fighting off the scaries in the corridor behind the vestry ALSO YES.
He has not yet texted me back. Please prepare your fingers to post Fs in chat if/when he says he's monogamous.
But THANK YOU KIND PEOPLE IN MY PHONE for all responding to my poll so that I felt more like this was a fun bit that I was doing and less like my life is a cringey noughties nerd girl makeover movie except I'm trapped in the first act forever.
Anyway I saw my reflection while wearing my concert blacks and Cool Hat and remembered that actually I'm the coolest woman in the world boldly inviting people to join my queer alternative lifestyle in between performing in indie theatre productions. The vampire armand would be proud.
Today in the green room one of the much younger tenors in choir who I don't really know well suddenly turned to me and said, 'I'm really going to miss you when you leave the choir, I think you've got a great voice.' I had no idea he had any special regard for me and was delighted to receive this suddenly friendliness.
I got to say my thoughts and interpretations on the opera again and the evil director said they were beautiful. I also got to point out difficulties with the blocking and have my solutions incorporated.
The literary tenor was also telling me how well my scene partner and my singing was coming across and how he thinks my technique is better than I think it is. Directly before I shot my shot and he said no. Oh well.
I asked out the literary tenor and he said oh how thoughtful how flattering thanks but no thanks because he is seeing the perfect golden soprano. Yay for taking your courage in both hands shooting your shot chasing what you want 🙃🙃🙃
Should I ask the hot tenor if his relationship is exclusive?
Yes - you miss 100% of the shots you don't take
No - it's like sabotaging the relationship if you don't know they're open
Yes - you won't shut up about this and I want to know what happens
No - he might think you're weird and then you'll explode and die
Send him an anonymous note that says Get Out Of My Choir
Lads WHAT is going on with all the tenors?
The hot tenor came and sat by me while we were waiting to go into the service and I told him my cloak project AND we made faces during the reading (it was a very technical legal one) but I reckon he just sat by me because there are only two seats in the waiting area. And the diligent tenor told me his relationship is going strong as far as he knows. I keep thinking it can't hurt to just ASK if they are poly/open but then I chicken out.
And I saw the literary tenor getting coffee with the most beautiful dainty charming delicate perfect golden soprano in the choir who I'd heard he likes so I was like well that's that. But then today in rehearsal we were hanging out and chatting and he described himself as 'single.' SO WHAT GIVES THERE?
There's also another literary tenor who I haven't really mentioned - I'm going to go ahead and call him the bright tenor because of his almost painful vocal colour - I headed myself off at the pass having a crush on him because 1) he joined during evil university days when I didn't really trust my classmates yet 2) I heard super early on that he was in a relationship 3) he's a little too public school for me. But he does have VERY compellingly blue eyes and I started telling him my (anonymised) romantic woes (it is WAY easier to open up to people now that it is no longer evil university days but instead nice university days) and he listened tenderly with his blue eyes all warm and I was like. Damnit.
And WHAT is going on with the diligent tenor? I think I actually had better not post what's going on with the diligent tenor in case the streams somehow cross and it all blows up in my face, but DM me if you want the tea I guess.
