Sooo...story.
I left the computers after my last blogging (I blogged here about how I felt like an idiot, right? I think so...pretty sure...better have...I know I blogged at other blog) and went up to the cafeteria to wait for the cast list to be posted. I sat there, and then realized I had forgot a pencil, so I had brought all my homework for nothing. So I'm sitting there reading my math book (nothing better to do. Other actors who had tried out were hangin out and waiting to. There was one guy who was like, counting down the min and yelling it out how much longer we all had to wait) and this other guy comes along I've talked to before and asked what was up and I said not much, but I had no pencil. So he got me one and I felt better (um...not really. But I pretended too). He hands it to me, leaves and the other kids from the try outs get up and run for the office where the list was posted (that I still didn't know the whereabouts of), because the clock had struck 4:00.
I sit there and try to do homework...key word here: Try. Didn't happen. I finally throw down my pencil and shove my stuff in my backpack. I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to know. As I'm shoving the last of my books in, a few of the group come back in and are all upset that they didn't make it. Not mad, just depressed. I sling on my backpack and head towards the door, when something stops me.
One of the guys looks at me and says "Hey! You made it!"
I stop and slowly turned to him. "What?"
"You made it!"
"I did?"
One of the other guys asks my name and I told him and he got kind of excited and was like "Yeah! You did!"
"Are you serious? Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"WHO?"
"Josie!"
"What...?"
I seriously thought they were joking. That they were mad that they hadn't made the cut, so were telling me this to just...I dunno...be mean or something. So I didn't even get excited, just asked where the cast list was posted. They told me...I had no clue where it was. So one of the them led the way across campus (walking very fast I might add. Even I, with my unusally quick strides do not walk that quickly), and into the building...down the hall...round the corner...see the other people...he points to my name on the wall. There is was. Across from Josie. My name.
"omg."
"Heeey! Congradulations!" The other people there wished me well and congrats and all that. I met the stage manager whom I had went on the mission trip to Mexico with like, 5 years ago, but coudn't remember where I knew her from during try outs so I didn't really say anything cause I wasn't sure that I knew her.
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAAA!!!
I GOT THE PART!!!!
I really got it!! I did I did I did I did I did!!
I! The lowley senior in highschool, got the part! The lead! In a college play! A college with a good drama program, that had plenty of talent and experianced actors. I do have experiance, with lead roles even, but I'm not as old as they are. I'm not as...seasoned as they are. I'm a lot younger than they are. My parents still have to sign release forms for me! And...I made the cut.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!! *is so happy and...oh...happy*
So I freaked out a little...ok...a lot. And yeah...
Rachel and I went and saw Tristan and Isold tonight. VERY good movie. I cried, but thats not suprising. Today...except for those few hours of agonizing embarassment....has been very very very good.
*hugs to all*
Later

that's awesome. congratualtions. age isn't important. the old are always threatened by the young. unless the young are like seven, then they're essentially useless. but good job.
