So this is how it feels

Wasn't cast in a mainstage for the semester. Been a while since I've been here. Disappointed, sure, but I understand why. The direction they went. If I was not going to get it, this was the best way for me to not get it. The show is going to be great. Good fun. Callbacks were some of the most fun (and competitive) that I've had in a long time; makes all of this sting a little less. We all brought our A game, and it was a good fight.

So the question remains: downstages - risk it all on what could be great, or risk something great in order to be safe. We'll see what happens.

Bring't

Was called back for "A Servant of Two Masters." Only 3 female roles, 21 women called back. Not good odds. Time to throw it down.

Or, as Shakespeare would say, Bring't.

Step, kick kick leap, kick touch. Again.

I'm fairly certain that I just had the two worst auditions of my life. No exaggeration. I know when I've done well and when I haven't; what my chances are. This was not good. Fuck all. Two more to go today, callbacks tomorrow. We'll know soon.....

Better than AFI's list

Let's play a game, guys. One of those stupid tag things. Because we both know you've got nothing better to do. I didn't anyway. 10 random movie/television quotes: GO!

3. "You're gonna need a bigger boat." - Jaws

Terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad

The past few days have been horrid. Awful. Really depressing. In the got-two-tickets-for-the-same-thing-within-3-days, cat-threw-up-on-my-new-comforter, stiffed-by-two-tables, bouts-of-insomia, working-two-consecutive-doubles-on-the-weekend-of-graduation sort of way. If you know what those are like.

But here's to the people who made it all better: To My Guy for letting me win at bowling and bringing me my favorite breakfast, to the random guy who tipped me $10 on an $9 ticket, to the shift leader who let me go without rolling silverwear, to the nice lady at the Municiple Court who counted my two tickets as one, and to Moira who curls up on my lap and purrs when she knows I need it.

Thank you, I feel better.
