When You Least Expect it...

So, I have been in LA for two years now. And ever since I've been here I have been doing extra work in hopes of somehow getting into SAG. Either by getting a line(not real hopeful about that one, but hey it happens) or by getting 3 SAG vouchers. In the time I've been doing this I have had 4 featured roles that did not get me a voucher. When I started nannying in Feb, I practically stopped doing extra work. There hadn't been all that much progress and with the catering I was getting plenty of work. Well, my 2 year registration with the extras casting was up in August. I decided to sign back up, just in case I needed extra money sometime. I took a new picture and re-enlisted. Within 2 weeks I started getting called by the company. (they had never called me in the previous 2 years). On monday I went on a interview or a lookey loo as I call it, to be a photo double for an actress on the new show E-ring, Kelsy Oldershaw.


Didn't get it. But I did get my first SAG voucher! Yeah! And I didn't even do anything, but let the director look at me. Score! Isn't Hollywood strange.

A little extra news: I had an audition today for a horror film and it went great! Whether I get it or not, at least I felt good about the audition. Also auditioning for the same role as me: Cindy Brady (Olivia Hack) from A Very Brady Sequel!

Labor of Love Day

I love time spent doing nothing productive at all. It gives you time to think and appreciate what is going on around you. My roomates and I had a BBQ on Sunday (since no one had to go to work on Monday). It was great. We had some friends over, met some new people, drank some beer and champagne. And we ate a whole lot of food. We also played Catch Phrase. I noticed that Thelma and I yell really loudly when we are excited about a game.


This weekend also made me think about the lack of male attention in my life. Now, don't go thinking I'm one of those girls who always has to be fond on by men, because that is quite the opposite. But lately, I've been thinking how nice it is to kiss someone who you have a connection with. I DO NOT want a boyfriend or anything. It is just that it has been a while since I've been kissed by someone who really meant it. Sometimes I think I just love being in love. Or maybe I just need to go on a date. Then it will be back to "I don't need a man" Mary.
