Wow, I haven’t been on the internet for a while.
Well, I had my audition for Zap today. It was actually really fun(: I kept freaking out about my story, and how to tell it and stuff, but I shouldn’t have been as nervous as I was. I had to act drunk, bored, and angry, and then I had to speak in a Russian accent. Lame butter joke, but it made them laugh. (: Hahaha. In my opinion, I did pretty well. I haven’t been able to hang out with everyone that much since our movie marathon. It was a lot of fun. I’m glad I went today, because I don’t have to be as nervous anymore. I’m a lot more confident about my skills as a performer.
It feels good to be doing this again.
Callback list is going to be up on Thursday, callbacks are going to be on Thursday afternoon, and then the cast list (of a minimum of 20) will be posted on Friday morning.
Jesus, please let this week go fast. I’m going to have a torturous day on Wednesday driving myself insane with the question of if I made call backs. I’m gunna need a best friend day, lol.
Praise Terry my audition’s done.
Alright, I know this is a while from now and everything, but just the thought is so depressing.
I love my cast so much, with a huge chunk of my heart. They’ve helped me grow as an individual, and have enforced that idea of not giving a fuck. More than half of the entire cast are all seniors, which means they’ll be gone next year, and I don’t get to have Workshop with them. This is my second family. These are the people that have swept me off my feet and shown me a new perspective. Realizing that they won’t be at MHS anymore just breaks my heart.
You shouldn’t give one fuck about what people think about you. Who cares if you look stupid? If you’re having fun, if you’re around people that you love, around people that make you laugh and smile, look as stupid as you want. Don’t let someone else’s opinion change the way you act. While they’re judging you, and saying things about you, deep inside, they wish they could be as open about everything as you are. If you get so worried about your every action, the only thing that comes out of it is insecurity.
Seriously. Just let loose. Don’t worry. People will think you’re strange. People will think you’re weird. People might even think you’re crazy.
I’d take strange, weird, and crazy over boring any day.
