The apparition of these faces in the crowd

Thanks guys for all your well wishes! I will get to replying to comments, it's just been a busy week! Still getting used to the change in work schedule which, yay more hours but boo as it takes away my evening time. Ah well. Such is life.

Still not sure if I'm going to send in my resume to audition of not. I mean, it's SUCH a thrill to be invited to audition but at the same time? I haven't been playing as much as I had in the past and I don't know if I can actually pull it together before the 3rd, especially considering I'm studying for the LSATs too, and frankly, that's more important to me right now. So... we'll see. In happier news, after only 5 of my class sessions I managed to boost my score up to a 150. Booyah.

*points to icon* Extremely depressing what her scores were. *mutters darkly*

Two bits of Fandom News:
1. I'm reccing for crack_broom this month, Remus/Bill. I already have a couple of ideas of what to rec, but if you guys have a favourite fic or piece of art, shout it out!

2. Am doing LMoM this year. I must be insane. But... I think it'll help my brain get off the insane plot kick it's on lately. Now, just so long as all my fics for this aren't 6k a day, we'll be set. I have a really neat overarching plot idea. HOWEVER. I want input from you guys. I want to do 31 different pairings/permeations. Thus, Remus/Lily, Remus/Lily/James and Remus/Lily/Sirius are three different pairings. So -- suggest! And if you run out of room, comments are brilliant too. :D

[Poll #1180815]

Well, the list is up and I didn't get in. I'm not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. I'm really fucking pissed off.

1. The girl who is playing Jo -- couldn't even come to call backs as she was "at a performance out of state". So... because EVERYONE ELSE could be there, she gets a freebie and right in for Jo?

2. Three out of the four March sisters were cast from the girls who were up for Jo. So... how is that fair to any of us who had two fucking days to prepare other material for Meg? Whereas everyone knows the stuff that Jo has to sing, especially as the song to sing for callbacks was "Astonishing".


I'm really pissed off. The casting is horrible for this. No one is the right ages. None of the girls really LOOK alike and like a family.

This is absolute bull shit is what it is.

I'll tell you one thing. If I wasn't cast because they think I'm going to play in the pit and they need a violin in the pit (as it's a huge string show) they have another fucking thing coming.

Off to the callbacks that is. Once this whole experience is over I'll be back to replying to comments. I just have been really, really concentrating on preparing for this audition. Found out yesterday that the turnout was somewhere between 40-50 girls for 4 roles. And they're calling back 12.

So... yeah. *gulp*

Wish me luck! I'll be back with a full update on how it went. :D

Whelp... my audition is today. I've kept this under wraps because... I actually haven't said a word to anyone around here before a few days ago. I'm auditioning for our production of Little Women and I'm going for Jo. And I know the competition out there, but dammit, I can sing the hell out of "Astonishing"... so... we're giving it a shot. Good luck vibes will be muchly appreciated!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Well, thanks to everyone who gave me good luck vibes today. I wish I could say they helped...

Alas, I have another shitty chair position. In fact it's the same fucking chair position I had last year. 8th chair; first violin out of nine. So guess who gets to learn the first violin parts of Shostakovitch 5th and Beethoven Fidelo Overture in less than a month?

YAY! That would be me. *cough* excuse the sarcasm.

I'm just really pissed off right now and in one of those, "I hate this school" modes. This is when I just thank my lucky stars I'm graduating this year and I'm going to be done and out of here by May 7th. (is it too early to start a countdown?) And if you're wondering why I haven't transferred... I LOVE the musicology faculty here. That is the only reason I've stayed.

So... by orchestra standings... it'll be a long year.

At least I have Company to look forward to. Thank god Dr Hartzell is running that. I get to play concertmaster for that. *pause* someone around here has their head screwed on.

And as for me... well, I'm skating this year. I'm doing the bare-minimum for everything and concentrating on my musicology degree. Apparently doing all the practicing I could over the summer did nothing (or else it was politics... which-ever you prefer...) so why bother? Thus... expect to see me around a lot more... even moreso than I was now.
