Wow.
Mum and A gave me a camcorder yesterday, which is 15 years old.
I could sell it for about 20 quid on ebay but that takes too much effort.
But anyhow, I rewound the tapes, and the first tape was excruciating to watch.
Back in the day in year 6, my friend Tallgirl and I sang at our schools summer fete.
Singing Britney Spears.
In front of all our peers and teachers.
And let me tell you this - it is bad.
I seemed to think i looked stylish in my polkadot 2 piece set, complete with ra-ra skirt and over the knee platform heels.
Throwback or what.
Towering over me was TallGirl, 5 ft 7 at 11 years old, and boy did she get stagefright.
The first song, Everytime, was mainly performed by me as TallGirl shoved the microphone in my face halfway through her verses, and i sang my little 4 ft nothing lungs out, fortunately in tune.
This torture went on for almost 4 minutes and then we ( I ) went on to sing Overprotected complete with a pathetic dance routine, while another friend of ours danced in the back round.
The applause would have been pitiful if it wasn't for the fact that our classmates cried louder than anyone, and my family - more like a tribe - contributed to the applause.
And i watched all this at 11 o clock last night.
And then i wondered why I didn't get any sleep.
