I decided to tryout for the show Made, which I have never really seen before, but it was worth a shot.
Got there at 12:30. My sister interviewed a lot of people. I signed up and became number 38 magically. I filled out the forms and the questionnaire and sat down. Kim Goldy was there and she came over with kristy and we talked about our "dreams". My sister interviewed them. This girl my sister kinda fired who interns for the GC times came up and tried to interview me. That is, until I said I was katie's sister. So yeah. I got my picture taken though. Whoot?
Lauren came too, with tristan, and that was cool. I still have to talk to her about how her audition went, considering I was the first out of all the people I knew to go.
I sat in the waiting room when it was close to my time, and talked to some people about stuff. Me and the guy next to me were shaking like nuts, so we commiserated. Katie was interviewing a guy and he was talking and said something like "and the door slammed" and right then ben landrum came out from the audition room but it was the loudest noise ever and me and the guy next to me totally jumped. At about 3:30 I went in.
So I decided that I was going to say that I wanted to be write a song on piano and play it at the talent show, not only overcoming my stage fright but being able to compose a song. Kind of original, and I thought it was MADE worthy. But it wasn't, apparently, because the girl's like "Since you already play piano, we can't really do that." so we went into a 10 minute interview about instead just the overcoming of my shyness, getting a date for homecoming, how I work on the farm (yes!!!), and how all my friends have more friends than I. It was scary because you sit at the table across from her and there is this camera sitting on the table looking RIGHT AT you the whole time. I tried not to be intimidated, but...
Her: So how do you act when you talk to people?
Me: I stumber...stumble over my words...yeah like that.
She was so jubilant, it made me feel a lot more comfortable. I was in there for what seemed like awhile. She asked about my fashion, if my parents "get" me, how I do in school, what else I do in school, and a LOT about how I'm shy, and how I've never had a date. And I'm like "Yeah, it's hard, because all my guy friends are GAY!!"
So there was this fly in there that KEPT BOTHERING ME. I must've looked like a moron on camera, constantly swatting away this fly and licking my lips (they get really dry when I'm nervous).
That was crazazy. My sister went in after me, wanting to be a broadway star, but just mainly wanting a good angle on her story. :p
After that, we came home to find out that Jim McGreevey is resigning. So I thought it would be some kind of bribery allegation or the like....so before the press conference I had to go to the church to "audition" for the liturgy band. He said I played well. I had to sight read Oh Come All Ye Faithful. I was horribly out of tune in the lower register, but it wasn't too bad. I said I could recognize chords on piano, so he was excited. Yee. He's inspirational because he's totally self-taught and arranges/composes his own stuff. Bejesus.
So on the way home mom listens to the radio and we find out the governor was GAY!! We were dying. It was so surprising. "I am a gay american". wow. It figures, though.
I dropped a brick on my thumb. It is black. Add that to the list of injuries suffered by one miss Julianne Grasso during the week of weird.
