Ten minutes before the first of only two dress rehearsals for Yakima Valley Community College's production of "The Vagina Monologues," I read my monologue for the first time in front of the mirror.

I'd been practicing my inflection and rhythm in my living room -- in between commercials -- and I felt pretty confident. But then, watching myself do it in the mirror, I wasn't so sure.

I didn't like the way my face scrunched, how my hair looked, or the red splotches on my neck I get when I'm nervous.
