It takes it out of me. There are certain things that I just don't like to do around other people. Torching is one of them. I love talking beads with people, eating out with people, dancing with people.....but not torching with people. :)
I am very particular that way - spending time with people can either energize me or consume mass amounts of my energy, depending.
Who here likes to have people watch them while making beads? (Or jewelry, etc.) I can't decide whether I like it or not, but everyone and their mother wants to come over and watch me make beads. I've torched for an audience three or four times, and it makes me nervous and shaky.>
Doesn't bother me a bit --- of course, I did years of theatre, was a Radio D.J., read at mass.... and am just plain extroverted.
I have done bead demo's at home - and in public at a major museum here in town... I just prattle away... LOL
The weird thing is -- I don't do being videotaped very well - even if I am alone and doing the video tape by myself.. Ok - explain THAT one.....!!!! (hmmm thinking on it - I think it is because I cannot emotionally interact with the video - and I love an audience..... ? maybe....?_)

Kandice, I know how you feel and glad you reached a solution. Steve brought home a Japanese exchange officer to live with us while he was on assignment to KC MO PD. Didn't ask, just showed up one evening after work with Kenji in tow with suitcases, to move into the guest room for two months. We survived and it was a interesting learning experience but Steve now knows to ask first.
