Had call backs for the frickin' french farce "An Italian Straw Hat" tonight.

Okay, there's a part in there I could play that's a bitchy and sarcastic shop girl. I also wouldn't mind playing the woman who owns said straw hat if this guy, Jeff, gets to play opposite. he and I read together tonight and it was hilarious. I love people who aren't afraid to touch the people they're auditioning with. We had people laughing at the point where he protectively put an arm around me and our reactions to certain things in the scene (I put my hat on a tree to go walking around with a soldier. I tried making the excuse that he was my cousin and we were discussing his future - ways to get a promotion. So many double entendres ;-) it was great.

However, the director only had me read about three times in two hours when some girls were up and down constantly. I'm a little worried about that. But I find out tomorrow around noon if I made it.

Rena called me tonight. She won movie or theatre tickets...and invited me to go with. I really don't want to...she's nice, but overly so. She's only complimented me on my looks (and quite awkwardly) and now she's positive that I'm gonna get in the show. She has *never* seen me act, how can she be so sure?

I don't know. I guess I'm weird like that. Most people adore getting compliments, I guess, but I only want them from people who can back them up. Like the people who complimented me tonight I believed 'cause they were great as well (and Jeff gave me a hug!). But Rena...random girl I didn't know a week ago who doesn't have much but the most superficial things in common with me (we like to watch Fairly Oddparents ~shrugs~). How the hell do I break this off before it goes any further? ~slams head on keyboard~

I don't have to make a decision for awhile...I won't have a chance to really talk to her until almost 5 tomorrow night, since I'm in and out of classes all day and in the morning I need to go to the job fair. So I go to acting first (yay!), then job fair, then check the cast list, then speech, then...dead time (lunch maybe?) then psych. Heehee. Gotta love psych class. Amanda's gonna go with me to Deja Vu.

Oh, and just to make some of you jealous...Margaret Cho's gonna perform on campus!!! ~happy dance~ October 2nd. 9 pm. Tickets are only five bucks for me, ha ha! I'm going to buy one first thing on Wednesday (when tickets are on sale). I think this definitely means I'm not going home for Dad's birthday. But oh well ~shrugs~

Gonna buy another poster tomorrow, too, I think. Or at least a movie still. Maybe hunt down a Rosie the Riveter poster. They're supposed to have them.
