Forgot to post this a while ago

I found this one my mac. Its something i wrote March last year and forgot to post it. Just a little story from a break at work.




The other day when taking a quick five minuet brake we were doing the standard swapping stories of work, this happens alot in theatre. We work all over the place and do so many different shows and meet all types of people. One person was telling us that they sometimes do some work as a meet and great frontman, this involves looking after celebrities at events and tv shows and just telling them that they look great and they did a fabulous job and make sure every demand is met. The tale they were retelling us was from a couple of weeks ago when they went on one of these jobs and it was to work of the now reformed pop group steps and it was there first public experience since the announcement of the reform. She claimed that she never knew who they were as she is an auzzie.

Now before I carrie on this is my confession that have to make. Back when I was ten so some thirteen years ago I was a pop fan, I used to really like bands like steps
And s club seven I can't not admit it, it's my past. It wasn't until I hit the end of year nine that my music tastes changed when I become a grungier and got heverly into punk and metal music. Anyway I used to like pop music and I thought over the years I thought I had compressed all these thoughts into a small part right at the back of my brain.

Let me carry on.

So as we stood there being told that she did not know who they were me and the other technician turned round and went 'really how can you not know who they are, they were massive about ten years ago' and the techie next to me said that there were three girls and two guys. The person who was originally telling the story named one of the girls in the group but got it wrong, at that point that information of my past that I thought I had compressed so small and put into the back of my brain came rushing to the front out of no we're and not only shocked the two people I was with but also myself as I just came out with the five names of the people who were in steps. There as a split second within myself where I was proud of myself that could remember that, then it hit the embarrassment that not only that I remembered that but I said it out loud, what was I thinking any cool points and man points I had (and that was very many to begin with) very quickly disappeared. As I looked at the other two people there mouths on the floor with the exclamation of they couldn't believe I just came out with that.

I guess what I'm trying to say no matter how hard you try your past always creeps up on you.
