this morning I was able to sleep in until about 8am. Ryan was up and out early taking his mom somewhere between here and vegas. i had to get an early start because i needed to swing by kinkos to print out my resume before i had to jet to my audition at universal. it was weird only wearing a t-shirt and mesh shorts. i showed up a little early and got my paper work filled out. i cant believe how many ugly people audition to be the characters at theme parks. they were all sitting there talking about how they've been extras in this and that and i just sat there rolling my eyes into the back of my head. when signing in, they gave us all numbers. i was number #347. ROUND ONE: a character catwalk. some people were really able to break out of their shells. others, well, i felt like i looked like they did. i pretty much just tumbled to WOW! everyone instead. it worked. about half of the group was cut. ROUND TWO: move from one green X to another. X one; the door. create entrance. X two; greet a family with children. X three; exit. All in the character assigned and without costume. I got bart simpson. if you made it past round two, you went into fittings. when everyone that was selected moved to the fitting room, myself and one other kid were taught a dance. I BOMBED. I'm pretty sure they arent going to use me for whatever the dance was for but, i got fitted for bart and lisa simpson! the costumes were awesome. hot as balls though. even being inside with air conditioning, i was sweating after being in the costume only a few short minutes. i can't believe what its actually like outside in 100 degree weather! turns out though, they only pay $8/hr.! Sorry but, thats a little bit less then what I'm willing to work for. especially a job with such physically demanding requirements! long story long, i'm pretty sure i'm not going to take the job. i'm still however, going to attend my interview on tuesday, just to see. BUTTTTT!!!! breaking news about the standard coming tomorrow. dontcha wanna know, bobby?
