Dreaming of Fame

When I was a child I dreamt of becoming FAMOUS. The trouble was that I wasn't very MUSICAL so I didn't have much chance of becoming a pop star. I'm absolutely USELESS at most sports so it was obvious that I wasn't going to have much SUCCESS with that either. I used to be one of the ACTORS in our college drama group. I don't mind rehearsing but I get really NERVOUS whenever I have to perform. Everyone says it's really PAINFUL to watch me. I go all red in the face and I forget my lines. It really is pretty HOPELESS. I don't think I've got much of a chance of becoming a PROFESSIONAL actor either. I'll just have to live with being completely UNKNOWN.
