I had a "woe is me" moment that I feel a bit silly about today, but only because the day is over and not because I feel the moment wasn't justified...
On Monday, I found out I got a call back for an audition I went to last Thursday; an SOC (Silent on Camera; aka no lines) for an Egg Commercial. Well, I thought that the audition went horribly. I find these auditions so awkward. They are just taping my reactions; and again without a script I feel like I can never really guage how the audition went. So, needless to say, I was quite shocked and pleasantly surprised when I found out I had been called back. Officially, making it one call back per month for the last 2 months by the way...hey, I'm going to celebrate any success here!
The "woe is me" moment came yesterday morning when I woke up with a freakin cold sore!! I was just so annoyed and I know there are worse things in life, but really... are there worse things than being put on film for a call back with a big honking cold sore on your lip?? I don't know if there is! I did end up nursing it all day yesterday and luckily, this morning it is almost gone! A record for how short a cold sore has lasted and if anyone wants to know how, let me know, I'm all about sharing these tips. Us cold sore sufferers have to stick together!
Anyway, back to the call back. I feel like it went alright and now I'm really hopeful that I get it; even despite my aesthetic woes! With that hope, today I woke up feeling quite greatful and excited. Without really knowing why, I'm going to enjoy the rest of the day feeling this way! I even have dinner plans tonight with my sweets, so the feeling will reign on!
