(no subject)
I haven't updated my journal in a while, and someone tonight reminded
me that although I check other people's that maybe I should update my
own.
Old news: I didn't make any shows at school, including the Eric Whitacre piece which I DESPERATELY hoped to be in the chorus for and thought I actually had a shot at making. But I guess it goes to show you that you can't ever predict anything in this business. Oh, and the amount of time you put into making yourself a better singer is not proportional to the amount of things that come your way.
I also for the past month or so have been struggling with I guess what you could call heartache, even though its not like I really fell in love or anything. I am just really disappointed in the ways things worked out with someone that I liked, and because it affected not only my life, but those of my friends as well.
But like I said, that's old news. I am pretty much over these things, but every once in a while the theme of "rejection" in my life rears its ugly head. Cases in point:
#1: Went to an audition for a summer program in Santa Barbara, CA where I was rejected pretty much on the spot by THE Marilyn Horne. But C'est la vie, I suppose...the only two who made callbacks out of 14 in my round were both 28, and 30 respectively,
#2: Went on a date with someone, and even though there was nothing wrong with him, something inside me couldn't seem to like him, A part of it was the fact that he lives in Los Angeles all year round, but I could always try to make something work long distance if he was worth it. And he generally would be: attractive, interesting, 22, interested in me, for once. And a part of me feels like I just couldn't get into it because I don't have closure. I haven't spoken to the guy who has been tormenting me in a month and a half, and I seriously feel like I need closure I may never get...ARGH.
Well, in case you have wondered WHERE I have been otherwise, I have been working almost full time at the Gap for the past few weeks. It's excellent because I am making $10.00 and working about 35-38 hours a week, for three weeks, basically. I am exhausted though because holidays at the Gap are kinda ridic. But I love my coworkers this year, they are soooo chill and so much fun. I particularly like the cute undercover police officer who have been flirting with me lol. "You mean your only hear for a few weeks....awww, I'm gonna miss you." Haha. I helped them with a "sting operation" in which we stopped like, 5 shoplifters from taking thousands of dollars of merch from the store so I am on their good side. It is a nice distraction, it seems, even though it doesn't like, make me feel better about the date or getting over the guy.
That's about it...I had a nice Christmas, and tomorrow I am going to Disneyland with my nephew Chris, who is 8! No, not the 23 year old nephew, haha...hope everyone else is having a great break!
