I am on cloud 9 right now!!!

I just got back from my "Morbid" Feature Horror film audition and I got the role of Laura, the spunky party friend! I had a good read, and at the end of the interview, the writer and casting director said, I usually tell people about the call backs at this point, but I've seen all the other girls and I want to be the first to tell you, the part is yours! and I was the first person they decided to cast! (that's never happened before!)

I'm feeling pretty good right now. I've made the last 2 auditions I had on the first day and they were both parts that I wanted and would look great on a reel! The producer for the Students Wife (dramatic short) is good friend with Jason Reitman (Juno, There Will Be Blood, Thank You For Smoking) who I love. I don't know if that means anything for me, but she obviously has good taste in directors and it's definatley a good connection to be had! Lauren (the producer) also wants to fully fund the short I'm doing so we can get a great beach front location to shoot on! Victory! But she wants to meet me to have a read-through because she is not convinced I can handle the crying scene at the end. If I have to earn my respect, I will try my hardest!!

I also *might* have a bridal photoshoot for this dress company, if I fit the dress. The fitting should be sometime next week, and I have to be drenched (in the ocean i think?) in the dress which will be fun! How fun to ruin an expensive gown while shooting? heck yeeeeeah. (Don't worry, I don't have brial-fever or anything, I just think it would be a fun photoshoot, and great for my book.)

I also met a director at the casting today who liked my red hair and asked if I had anything online he could look at as far as my acting goes. I gave him the link for my Forgettables episode 1 (which seems to win over alot of people, oddly enough) and my email address, then he told me he was looking for actress for his next 2 films. So I'm very glad that I initiated the conversation with him in the awkward waiting room, turns out it was worth me while, lol.

Also I have a full day session with my Albert from Studio A for new headshots in mid-feb. (I just have to decide on a hair color!) I really need new headshots. I must get some actually printed out this time! errg.

On another note, I am working the elections this tuesday as a clerk!

That should be interesting. Looks like Huckabee and Ron Paul arent doing so well, and I like them. They are optimistic, humble and well spoken. Looks like it will be between Romney (barf) and McCain (double-barf) for the Republican primaries.

It will be interesting to see who wins, though I'm *probably* still voting for the underdog, Huckabee!!

Though I'm still able to be swayed... Just convince me: who is the best canidate (left or right)?
