I need an agent ASAP.
HOLY CRAP! No, seriously, HOLY CRAP.
As the majority of you know, I moved out to California in pursuit of a dream...and in pursuit of that dream I’ve had to endue a whole lot of bullshit: I moved my happy ass all the way across the country and killed my car in the process, dealt with a psycho roommate who did things like put used feminine napkins in my bed, have lived basically friendless and alone for the past seven months and as a result of it probably developed some form of clinical depression. I've done all of this because I want the opportunity to be rejected and jeered at by a bunch of people who think they are inherently better, faster, stronger, prettier, 6 million dollar man/woman-ier than me. I'm Hannah, the crazy person who wants to be an actress. I'm the pendeja who spent $800.00 (which is equivalent to a month's rent) last week on headhots. I've been hoping all of this would work out even though I'm not sure of the direction I'm supposed to take or where on earth I am.
Well, today I think I received a sign. Not even a week after I got my headshots done, I might actually have a reason to send them off in the most celeritous method possible to the offices of one, Joss Whedon.
You see, Joss is developing a show called Doll House and has yet to begin casting, but the show should be ready as a mid season replacement for the 08/09 TV season. Well, today some character descriptions were leaked to TV Guide and posted by one of their columnists Here is the whole article. If you don't feel like reading the whole thing here is the important part (the "character discription" is in bold):
NOVEMBER
The Tracy Turnblad of the Dolls
• If the part is cast from within the Buffyverse: How about giving a second chance to Riff Regan, the plus-sized actress who played Willow in the Buffy pilot?
• If the part is cast from outside the Buffyverse: Well, we did describe the character as the show's resident Tracy Turnblad, so who better than that Hairspray hoofer's portrayer, Nikki Blonsky?
Forget Nikki Blonsky: This could be me! I can be this person! OhMyGod! I have headshots! Headshots that I can mail to Joss Whedon's office and/or home address, because I have that too...the man is listed in the white pages. No, I am not stalking him, but apparently my mother is.
This just feels...like something. Something, exciting. And yes I am getting too excited about this, but I still feel like this holds the promise of spring returning. And then maybe, after that it will lead to a summer with another wind that I have never known.
