I'm so proud of myself. I just met conductor Emmanuelle Haïm after a performance, and I believe I may have come across as something other than a complete and utter lunatic for once.

Just felt like sharing. I get really self-conscious about my behaviour around people I admire. Think Flight of the Conchords and Mel - though I've yet to start carrying a picture of Philippe Jaroussky's lips in my wallet.

I told Ms Haïm I'd brought some friends along for the occasion, and she said she imagined I could be very persuasive. Tee hee.

Well done Zerbinetta.
