What You Have Been Missing Out On

I've got to find a way to get better at this. But the good news is, I'm starting to fall into a groove and really feel at home here. Last night was the Christmas tree lighting at the Grove...we went. Couldn't find a parking spot. And left. However, we did see the fireworks from our balcony and it was magical. Squeak said "we live here. can you believe that. this is where we live." And the truth is I am starting to believe that. I've had great luck out here and I wouldn't trade that for the world. The city is going to take a long time to beat me down at this rate!

So, I have two jobs. I started training at the Gap on Hollywood and Highland. I actually really like it! My last day of training is today and I get to just try on their clothes for 2 hours. Can.Not.Wait. The other good thing about working here is I work with a friend from college and fellow actor. That's comforting! Also it's only about 3 miles from the apartment so I've walked it often. (that's part of my workout plan!)

Tomorrow I start at Gulfstream. Pretty excited about that. I'll keep you posted!

Also, I had my first rehearsal at the Next Stage Theater on La Brea in Hollywood. The show is about a 45 minute show of a mash up of Charlie Brown shows. It's cute. It's a kids show. And I learned yesterday that I am the only person there educated in theater. so awesome.

Oh and in other news! I had this terrible audition that I knew I wouldn't accept the role if they begged me because you don't treat actors like that. Period. (thank you profs for teaching me that) Well, they offered me the role and I politely declined telling them my schedule had changed and I was committed to another project. But, that's 2/2 on auditions. So it made me realize that maybe I need to set my bar a little higher. That's exciting. Oh and I went to an acting class to audit with a friend and it also made me realize that with hard work and determination there's no reason I can't have an agent and some good work in a year. I am taking a break right now on submitting for auditions for two reasons, I need to concentrate on my money jobs and get into a swing with them and I need to get together some form of media submission until my reel is done!

So, that was a huge update. I swear I'm going to get better at this and funny again. Just hang in there with me! I'll get settled and back into the swing of blogging again!

Thanks for sticking with me...if anyone's still reading this. lol feel free to comment on anything!
