So I can't sleep, or I don't want to. At this point, I can't really tell the difference. Oh well.

So, I auditioned Monday night for 4 plays. One in particular, that I really wanted to get into, but I didn't get called back. I was very upset before, but not anymore.

I learned a lesson from this audition. I learned that it's awesome to be confident with a monologue, but it's NOT okay to use it too many times. I did my Lysander monologue from A Midsummer Night's Dream, and it got me into a callback, but I could've done something different so that I could be improving. Don't get me wrong, I think I rocked Lysander monologue, and I did new things, I did the audition from a place of confidence, not nerves, but still. I need to work on new material constantly, so I can figure out what my strengths are as an actor. That way, I know what to play up in an important audition, and I can privately work on my shortcomings.

Like I said, I did get called back, and I am very excited to work on it, and hopefully work from a place of confidence again. That was a great feeling. There is another callback that hasn't been posted yet, but if I'm not on it, it's ok. I've learned a major lesson from this audition, and now I can apply it. :-)

I have been really lazy recently. I haven't gotten up and done stuff. It's hurting me. Not a lot of good is coming out of it. I'm learning way more about myself, and that's great and all, but I need to learn to work hard. I don't think I ever have. Sure, I've made A's and B's for the most part, but it's easy. I need to challenge myself to get organized, and work hard.

I have gained a lot of weight since last year. I lost weight since I was back home over the summer, but not enough. I am up to 214. That's 10 lbs more than my Dad. Now, good for him, but what the hell? I'm 20, and he's 57! Something ain't right about that...

I'm listening to a band while I'm typing all this. They are called "The Sea and Cake". Thank you Sarah Almond for finding them first. This band is just what I needed right now. Very chill music.

Oh, and I am starting to like a girl. It's unfortunate that she's back in Houston, but such is life. We'll see how things go. I'm keeping it vague on purpose because when I put this on my Facebook, I don't want her to know right away. :-P

Well, I guess that's about it really. I thought I'd be typing for a while longer, but I guess not. Oh well!

Peace guys! Take it easy!
