IT WAS MEANT TO BE A JOKE!!!!!!!
ok, this is what happened. i was looking for jobs on the net when my friend recommended the seek website to me because he said that it was really good. so i logged on to their website, and randomly clicked the buttons, cos i was really bored. and i stumbled onto this extras/models/actors/musicians agency job ad, and i thought that, as a joke, i'll send in an application. i never seriously thought that they'd respond. so i sent in an application with my resume, thinking i'll have a good laugh at myself later on. then the next day, this lady calls me at around lunchtime, and said that she's from Blackbox Management Australia, and i sent in an application yesterday? and i thought, oh......crap......so i said, ummmmm yeah? and she was all, oh, so i can see from your resume that you've had some acting experience before? and you've been in quite a lot of productions? and i was like, well, yeah...but they're little school productions...and she continued, and you're also a pianist and a violinist? and i was like, *nervous chuckle* well, i USED to be....and she's like, that's great, so i'll email off an application form to you, and can you send a photo of yourself as well? and i was like, ummmmm, errrr.....and she told me that they usually pay between 20 to 25, and projects are between 1 day to 6 months, and most of the stuff will be ads and auditions and screen testings, but there are sometimes feature films and all, so great, i'll look forward to your form and photo! *hangs up* and i was just sitting there going, oh crap, WHAT HAVE I DONE?????????
for one thing, i'm not sure if i really want to do this sort of thing, i mean, i'll meet people, and i have fun and fill up some time in my holidays, but do i really want to do it? Andrew reckons that i should do it, but i dunno, what if i have to wear some skimpy stuff??? not that andrew would mind (dodgy!!!!!!)......but but but.....even if i do do it, what did she mean by 20 to 25 bucks? like, for a day, or for an hour? cos if it's for an hour, that's really good pay, and i really need the money, cos i'm totally broke since my parents cut off all my funding ever since my last exam....:( but what will my parents say? i've heard that when they shoot, it's usually really early in the morning, and what if it's in some far-out place? i'm not old enough to drive yet, and so my parents will have to drive me there, assuming that they agree with this whole thing, and what if it's like, at some ridiculous hour like 5am, in say, oh, Geelong??????Geelong's like about 1 hour's drive, so no way are my parents gonna do that, so i'm really screwed. of course, i can just ignore this and not send in an application and pretend that it's all a bad dream.....
but i went to the uni bible study barbie yesterday, and i told Flora all this, and she was like, go for it! and she said that the pay should be 20 to 25 an hour, cos if it's for the day, then it's below standard wage, and that's illegal, so that's kinda solved, and it's cos it's not permanent work, so they have to pay more. and oh, you'll get to meet lots of interesting people and all. but she didn't really offer any advice on the parent front, except that i should get my license as quick as i can.
i'm so stupid, i never should've done this. why didn't i just had fun some other way?????why???????why did i have to send that application???????what kind of an idiot am i??????
so.....help me please!!!! leave comments and stuff and give me some advice......quick!!!!! (yes, i know i deserve this, it's all my fault, but please, some help!!!!!)
