Day 79 August 29 Went to an audition at 1pm for an original play. I was actually nervous, dry mouth, shakey hands and all. I was given a monologue and after my initial reading the director actually gave me some direction. That's the first time that's happened on a first audition for me. It felt amazing to be in a theater acting again. Even if I don't get the part, I will continue to check for auditions so I can be working toward my dreams, especially now that I am switching to grave shift at work. I headed into old town to check out the angel town store that I had seen hidden previously and met I think the owner who was from California and knew Moorpark. She commented how happy I looked to be there. I hadn't even noticed how good it made me feel to be in a theater again! Plus I was thrilled to be in the angel store. I headed into work and there was a terrible accident on the freeway so I was an hour late. It was like La traffic without the benefit of actually being in La when I actually got where I was going! I worked until 11pm and tried to stay up as late as I could because the following 2 days I was working grave. Then I have Wednesday off and the rest of the week I work swing, then move to full time grave next Monday! I am so excited.
Day 80 August 30 I woke up at 11am despite not going to bed until 5am, having crashed on the sofa and woke stiff at 5 to move to the bedroom. I decided to do a few loads of laundry and just veg in front of the tv so as not to do too much strenuous stuff before the evening. We left for the meeting early to run a few errands in the city, enjoyed a meeting, went out for sushi after, then went to karaoke where the kj appropriately deemed the evening The Sarahjoy and Jessica show since we were the only 2 singers! We sang 3 songs each and I ended up being late(which made every day since I've been back from Cali.) That was enough and made a commitment to myself to stop being late. I was exhausted having been up so early in the morning but enjoyed my grave shift, and getting to know my coworker who works front desk grave. I'm starting to feel less out of place.
Day 81 August 31 I stopped at Starbucks before having to go to court for my recent speeding ticket, since I had an hour to kill before needing to be in court. I grabbed a bite to eat and a pumpkin spice latte, which was delicious, and played bejeweled for the hour. Upon arriving to court I checked in and was directed to the courtroom and judge I was to see. I was rather appalled at the fact that I was there. There was a lot of waiting and wondering(actually only about 10 minutes worth), and many other people as well. The judge had a large stack of files and announced that any one who plead guilty to their violation and agreed to make a donation to a local children's program would have their violation dismissed. I disagreed with my violation but for dismissal plead guilty and agreed to the donation plus court cost. Totaling $111 to have a clear record, I am grateful. Yet my emotions are mixed, ultimately I am supremely grateful but on the other hand I feel this twinge of I can't put my finger on it that bothers me about the lack of consequences to our actions. It feels like buying my way out of something, which I am against. I am doing it anyway. I have made a commitment to myself to donate more than what was sentenced to express my gratitude and because I like the charity. I headed to the house with my mixed emotions and headed to bed. I awoke much earlier than I wanted to and vegged once again in front of the tv until I needed to get ready to go. I received a text message about extra casting for the movie Fright Night which is filming at the Hard Rock, but did not receive the whole thing. Luckily the e-mail was in my inbox and I was able to call and submit for it. The call time is 7am, which is when I get off my shift. I called and submitted so I guess I will find out in a few hours if I am working all day tomorrow on the movie or not!
