everything fits

The Actor’s Goal in EVERY Audition is to get a

CALLBACK.

It’s the green light that means,
(As Sally Field said in her Oscar speech) –

“You like me, You really really like me!”

Like any job interview where they ask you back for MORE,

It’s INSTANT GRATIFICATION!

Getting a CALLBACK is like –

Fitting into your favorite skinny jeans.

Getting an A on a final exam.

A freshly painted manicure.

Finding an awesome deal on eBay.

Getting the last piece of coffee cake at Starbucks.

Finding a piece of jewelry you thought you’d lost forever.

Finishing a five mile run.

A glass of champagne.

The smell of a new car.

Finding a 100 dollar bill in the street.

The smell of freshly baked cookies.

Flirting your way out of a speeding ticket.

Getting asked out on a date by your crush.

Hearing your favorite song on the radio.

Seeing a picture of yourself where you really look good.

The first sip of a milkshake.

Finishing a really good book.

Getting a refund check from the IRS.

“Cheers”-ing your friends at midnight of New Year’s Eve.

Finding yourself (the BEST part)!

(When you get asked back after an audition or job interview or anything you’re really trying to get, how does it make you feel? Let me know in the comments.)

The blog.

Blogging.

Blugh.

The first problem I have is just the word blog itself. Does that word really encourage people to want to write? To be creative? To share? Blog blog blog. The more you say it, the more you hate it. Sounds like it should be the name of like a dirty pond or a growth on your foot. But regardless, Josh says blog, so here I go… blogging.  (Doesn’t the word make you want some mouthwash?)

Perhaps it’s not the word that upsets me, but more the idea of actually intentionally sharing my thoughts with someone, be it a stranger or someone I actually know. I mean, at this point in my life…

Sorry, I lost my train of thought when I looked down at my mom’s Cartier LOVE bracelet and saw a scratch that looked like the side of a car after someone keyed it. I just finished doing the dishes and I gasped thinking that I might have scraped it across the sink in my rare moment of productivity.

Thankfully it was just a blonde hair stuck to the wet bracelet.

Whew! Close one.

I almost let it out…

EDIT – Hey, thanks JA! Nice picture you found for me. So once you tell me how to do that, it’ll liven things up around here, no?

Josh tells me to do it, I must do it. Sorry take it up with him. I will try to make it as painless as possible. Between calls, I might be done by the time he’s out of the screening tonight. All you will need to do is type a post. Or text from your phone, tweet, etc etc. You must admit when he’s right he’s right.

Here is your page, your categories, everything. Hope you like it. I could have had the agency I-T guy code a real hot flash site but HE said “K.I.S.S.” and he didn’t mean it nice.

So this is your first my first post.  Have fun Evie, it’s not as hard as it you think it is and you’ll get hooked on it. At least until the movie comes out.
