Um, ya...
Drunk people should not be allowed near blogs/email/phones of any kind as a precautionary measure to avoid any damage control the next day.
Anyway, I was well prepared for my audition yesterday and I felt excited about going in. Of course I hadn't eaten anything beforehand.
Unfortunately, there was no woosh factor after this audition. I'm not exactly sure why. I think a lot of it had to do with the feeling I felt when I walked into the room. They were behind schedule, had been doing auditions for x number of days, and the room they were sitting in was quite muggy. No woder I felt like they just wanted to get this over with. The windows were also open and all I could hear was traffic going by. I was trying to give a subtle performance and I worry that they couldn't even hear me. Maybe they didn't care? Maybe they took one look at me when I walked in and wanted to yell NEXT, but because they're nice people they let me go ahead out of politeness?
I don't know.
And the worse thing is, the more I think about it, the more I overdramatize the entire audition. Every time I retell the story, they end up sitting further and further away from me. And there was a constant flow of transport trucks going by. And they probably already knew who they were casting before I walked in and I was just a big waste of time. And all the girls auditioning ahead of me were all thinner and prettier and I think there was a supermodel there and a guy in a bear suit and the President of Fido said hi to me and and and and and and
Stop
Breathe
None of that really happened
Well, except that the President of Fido was at the audition and he did say hi to me.

Nancy stop being so bloody hard on yourself! Why the heck do you think Chris cast you in this and his last production? Well, Okay, this one he didn't have much choice since Richard was writing the part FOR you - But that's not the point! He took on this project because you're awesome and he wanted to work with you again. So just being hard on yourself! You hear me?

I'm gonna assume that last line is something along the lines of "stop being hard on yourself"
And I'll stop if you don't get mad at me. You're scary when you get mad ;)

SEE!
I don't think I imagined the bear either!
Although I think he haunts my dreams.
You know what? You can quote me on that for any publicity material you may have (cuz you know everyone wants to hear what I have to say).
I say it again:
The Bear: He haunts my dreams!

Yes, it was supposed to be STOP being hard on yourself... Or was it?
And instilling a little fear can't be a bad thing, especially when you're an SM :oP
