I made a blog that I intend on keeping with Eliza. It's called "That's Ridiculous." I bet you can imagine what it'll be about.
Still looking for something to occupy my vast supply of time and energy with. No Maine. I would have loved the adventure, but it just didn't happen. They decided not to hire more staff members. Hit me up with suggestions, I'm open.

Maine? Maine!
IDK. I suppose impromptu big adventures are welcome, what else is there to surprise and delight?

I have no idea what I'm doing this summer. I want to go on an adventure. I have time and money, but no one to keep me company! What a switch.

I saw the whole thing! Purple baby flyin' out of a cavernous 'gine. Pooey, bloody, umbilically, placenta-y mess of goo.
She's really cute though, and, "supa' Chinese!"

So, I auditioned for American Idol today.
I'm a pretty good fan of the show, I appreciate it and watch it when I remember and envy some of the contestants and make fun of the others...basically tell it like it is.
So I went to get a wristband and ticket the other day which is what you need to do to get in. Only I wanted to go and sit with my mom and Eliza. I was paranoid that the ticketing would be crazy, so I went early in the morning to scope it out. No one was there. I felt comfortable having to wait until my mom and Eliza were off work after I talked to a couple of PAs about what was going on. I came back around 2:45 since I was convinced there would be a rush...STILL no one there and this time I had to wait until 4:45 until my mom and Eliza could carpool themselves over.
The PAs thought I was nuts...but I wanted to sit with my friends/ mom and didn't realize that they would pull up and it would take 45 seconds and really wouldn't (technically) matter where our tickets were/ I could have exchanged my ticket no problem blah blah.
After a lot of back and forth with Eliza, she slept at my house last night and we woke up around 3:30 in the morning after not having gone to sleep until probably 12:30 or so.
We got there at 5...for no real reason since we had SEATS. (They told us we had to be there at 5 and we bought into the hype).
We waited and waited and saw Justin Guarini of season one runner-updom and now TV-Guide fame. Eliza and I razzed him from 20 feet away unbeknownst to him. We made friends with a frizzy-haired ukulele toting guy who kept getting attention (and later made it through the first round) for obvious reasons.
So we got let in at about 8:30 and they took crowd shots and made us sing crowd songs and it was kind of obnoxious and one of the producers had little patience for crowd synchronization (or lack thereof).
They set up 12 stations of 2 judges each, then had us line up in lines of four to visit one section. They seemed to be letting a VERY small percentage of people through (like maybe 100 out of 5,000?) Finally at about 2:50pm we got to sing!
I sang "Killing Me Softly" and did as well as I could have expected having a parched mouth (they took away my water bottle and then sold me expensive dehydrating food) and they were excited to hear the song since they hadn't heard it that day (I'm a good chooser!), but then put on looks of confusion once I started but seemed to warm up to me but realized I wasn't going to give them a riffed out yell of a performance...aka not what they were looking for.
The girl next to me had a powerful voice and she was so nervous, yet they told all four of us that we had great personalities and thanked us for making the show possible, then stressed again our great personalities, but they were looking for "big voices" and none of us would be moving on.
Hmm. Whatever. I don't think I have a "big voice," but I also don't think that I would have done a bad job on the show had I been let through and given a real shot.
I also just didn't have something they were looking for...I guess. Which is weird since I think AI likes to try to (at least appear) to diversify themself and I've never seen someone on the show who I can identify with.
Eliza and I also got extremely depressed by the amount of bad singing in the hallways that we were sure was reinforced as good singing. If that's not me, so be it. We saw a lot of tacky today and it wasn't pretty. If not making AI means maintaining a level of integrity and respectability...huzzah!
Not that this is a major realization, but it's just another reminder...WHAT am I ever going to do to make money? I feel like singing is often one of the only things I semi-have going for me, so what now if that's actually not true!? In this kind of business you have to sparkle to get noticed (which is a whole other tangent that I can't start now), so who knows if I'll get to really be a part of the one industry that's held my interest for so long.
Having said that, American Idol really isn't my style. I think I'd do well on the show because I aim to be versatile and not a screechy riffer...but it wouldn't hurt to be able to do that too!
Man alive...

I'm so bored.
I really need to find an activity to do this summer. No one will hire me. Not even the Gap which seemed like a guarantee (and I just typoed "gap" as "gay" for Jessica's amusement).
Instead of doing anything memorable, I have been going to the gym everyday and watching disney like it's crack cocaine. This is good and bad.
Good because I love disney and all it stands for no matter what.
Bad because Disney likes to shove the same group of people down my throat and convince me that I like or care about them. I.e. The Jonas Brothers. I was indifferent but now that they're plastered all over disney every five seconds, Disney make me think I care about the Jonas Brothers! I don't! Do I!? I don't know! I found myself youtubing videos of them out of my extreme boredom.
It's also bad since disney doesn't offer the kind of quality it used to. Sure, my perspective was different when I was younger, but I have a proposition for disney that will revamp them and bring them even more popularity (which i'm not sure they'd really be in the market for).
I think they should bring back more interesting single camera filmed shows (i.e. "So Weird") that look more realistic and really get viewers invested and thinking about the material. I also think they should bring in older actors. I still watch Disney. I admit it. I'm 21 years old, I don't think that's too old...it was only a couple years ago that I was a prime disney demographic. All of a sudden there are a million 15-year-olds running around the screen. This is bad since I still find myself interested only I can't relate at all.
I admit I'm a weird case to watch disney as much as I do, SO if disney has older actors, they will attract an older audience while maintaining their current younger audience. Also, older actors would feed into the more realistic and interesting programming. "Hannah Montana" has its moments but when I watch it, I mostly can't get over the fact that Miley Cyrus really hasn't nailed the whole comedic delivery thing yet...because she's only 15!
Also it makes me mad that the disney audiences love whatever disney offers. Camp Rock. Oy. This was a great concept for a movie but was not carried out well. It's plot, actors, and songs have all been recycled and regurgitated by some other disney product that was done better years before. It needs to be changed, I tell you!
In short, I want to work for disney and help get it on track. Am I jealous because I want to be one of Disney's pool of actors? Maybe. Probably, but I can't be blamed due to the aforementioned reasoning!
Maybe I'll write them a letter.
In closing, I'm going to go watch some Disney at the gym.

Ew, I feel like I can't sing again. I dislike the love/hate relationship I've been having with my voice. At least I don't think I have nodes anymore.

I made a cake from scratch. I wasn't paying attention because my mother was distracting me (ding one) and I put in way too much baking powder and baking soda that I had to fish out. It tasted weird to me from then on. I name it Ted. Ted's bottom half fell apart as I put it on the counter. I tasted the extra from the pan and it tasted like nothing. Something was wrong. Ted's frosting didn't come out right. I managed to fling the second layer on top and aim it perfectly. I frosted it. I told my mother that this was where Ted lived, he was not to be moved from this spot. Then she decides that putting it in the fridge will stiffen up the frosting so Ted has to be MOVED. She basically obliterated Ted and I almost cried. Now Ted's chillin' in the fridge and I might go cut a slice off of him and tell him he does taste good even though this may be a blatant lie. I need to inflate his self esteem.

I met a man on the bus today. His name was Happy and he told me he was in The Pursuit of Happyess. He was very friendly and quite jovial. It's sad that most people zone out on the bus and create their own little cocoon of isolation, pretending they're the only one on the bus. I'm sadly one of those people who normally shuts off. However, I was very willing to talk to Happy since he seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say which was very refreshing. I love friendly people!
