I have exciting news. Well, maybe exciting news. It depends on how on how you look at it. I have my first real audition ever coming up for PICT (Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre). It will be on October 6 at 2:00 pm EST.  I have thirty minutes to sell myself. I need to memorize two contrasting monologues. And I am scared out of my mind.

I’ve auditioned tons of times but not for real acting jobs. Just community theatre, college theatre, high school theatre, that sort of thing. This is a big difference.

This time I will be going up against people who have received loads more training than I have and had a lot more experience. I’ve got to start studying now as I have only 18 days to prepare.

Excuse me, I have to go vomit.

It’s amazing how a good night’s sleep can change your perspective on things.

Granted, I still can’t manage to get my butt out of bed at 6 (more like 8 or 8:30) but that’s neither here nor there.  But when you aren’t waking up constantly through the night, or the mattress isn’t falling through the slats of your IKEA platform bed, it makes it a lot nicer to sleep and to wake up in the morning. It also make me an easier person to deal with
