Tomorrow, may be my 8 Mile day. Tomorrow offers the possibility of a dream come true. At 4pm I'm to do an audition for the smallest of small speaking parts on a major motion film, with some big name stars. 2 of my favorites in fact. The seasoned actor in me can't help but tell myself to approach it like any other audition and expect nothing until the phone rings within 72 hours. But the undiscovered star in me is freaking out. I'm giddy with excitement while at the same time falling in to my historical trap of fear of success, and afraid of that, too. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself, but I don't want to sabotage one of the most potentially pivotal experiences of my life. I figure that the only way to achieve any kind of balance through this and retain my sanity is to recognize that the experience itself IS the dream come true. Even if nothing does come of it, tomorrow I am going to be so incredibly present and in the moment all day and especially during that split second when the camera is rolling and, with everything I've got and in my best Boston blue collar thug, I deliver the line "Hey!"
THis is meghan...in case my name doesn't show. That is awesome!!! How did you hear about it? What movie is it? I will send you good joo joo.
