Dear Diary

Here, now, a sort of entry perhaps I should have reserved for my locked-and-chained-pink-and-white-flowered diary:

ARGH! I'm so frustrated. I don't know what's wrong or why and it's just making me so mad. AH. OK, so, I didn't go to the audition today. In fact, I didn't go to an audition all week, and now I have to wait until Friday morning for another opportunity. And I don't know why I'm not going. Well, that's a lie. I sort of do. I'm nervous. I'm nervous to go to any audition at AEA and sit there and not be seen. WHY? For goodness sake, I should be less nervous because the odds are I won't be seen, therefore no need to be nervous. I should be nervous when I go to a non-eq call and actually am seen, because I am sucking at those and people are actually seeing me suck at those.

Of course, the hour of the morning doesn't help. If an audition starts at 9:30, and I'm told the doors open at 7:30, then I sure as hell better be there at 7:30 to get my name on the list in the hopes of possibly being seen. If I get there at 8:30, I have a zilch chance, I am assuming. Of course, in high school, I was up at 5:55am every day. But that was a long time ago.

I don't understand this. And it's frustrating because I don't have a survival job, and so all I can do it sit at home, surfing the various audition notices, trying to find out which audition I won't go to next. COME ON. I can't figure it out. And I need to stop being a baby about this and actually go. That's the only solution to not going: going.

So there. Actual insight into my life. And about twelve hours earlier than I've been posting lately. And hopefully it will make me feel better when I now go and watch my Ti-Vo'd REGIS AND KELLY or last night's infomercials. Of course, (well, maybe not of course, but truly) I am kidding. I'll now have lunch, do some reading and then head off to rehearsal.

Gracious sakes.

You're a pro. This is what you do, and what you're there for.

Or maybe try and get on the other side of things. Remember how enjoyable it was to be on the "judging" side. Then, when you're at the judges' table, you can pick yourself!

Also, the more I watch Scrubs, the more JD reminds me of you, especially in the musical episode tonight.
