Just when I thought - I had a normal, boring life

So... I went to an audition last night for this music video (to be shot in Florida somewhere - dont ask me the particulars)
Anyhow - I was so un-prepared - because the director was asking me (There were only 4 other girls and we all had individual auditions & I guess - whoever gets it was suppose to be the main girl) - The director want me to go through emotions on camera as if someone was whispering in my hear - First of all I was thinking - thats whack and trying to imagine someone whispering in my ear (in public) stuff that I couldnt believe that he was saying to me - was just NOT realistic for your girl -Anyhow gave me other scenarios - he clearly thought Ive had acting classes -lol

Anyhow - I just wanted to tell you about that experience - because I guess I take somethings for granted because I knew the artist that they are producing the music video for and he called me the night before asking me to come audition and from the last time I helped him out - I guess I had planned on being the star - I had to checked myself real..... quick

It bothered me at first that I was making mistakes and that I really couldnt warm up to what they wanted me to do - Asking "me" to pretend that I had to get a guy's attention - was like asking me to do something - thats seemed as if I should have to work that hard....To make matters worst - my friend (the artist) kept telling me that I was acting nervous - so I finally said - whatever to the whole thing- if I get it - I get it - If I dont, no sweat - but boy... did it teach me to be more prepared...

#1 - I never wanted to be "that girl" (a video girl) it will make me a ghetto superstar (in DC) and then its back to the grind - I just thought it was a funny that I get to experience somethings - that others dont...

thanks for listening
