A passion for fashion!

"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous." -Ingrid Bergman

The first time the talent search people called me I said no. The second time I said no. The third time, they called mom and I finally said yes. Yesterday I got interviewed, walked the runway, and memorized a commercial then said it out loud. All of this of course in front of 100 people. I didn't expect much. I've gone through this before and it turns out all they want is money. But this time they said that they wanted me to be in a fashion show and do a photo shoot. I was ready to turn it down because they wanted me to pay for the photos, but dad said that it was fine, that the portfolio was really nice and being in the fashion show would give me practice to sing and play guitar in front of people (there is also a talent part in the show). So tomorrow I go for my photo shoot... Ok, this could be fun. I did some work for my moms friends for some ad thing a while back, but... I don't know. The talent people (Robin & others) are going to send my photos and a movie of me walking the runway and singing to over 50 potential clients. I don't expect much but you never know. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I'll keep you updated... Anyone?
More later.

Second day in a hellish place with hellish people

"I'm a big woman. I need big hair." -Aretha Franklin

Today I spent over three hours on a bus with little kids screaming their heads off. I only found solitude while listening to my ipod, which after the first hour and a half ran out of charge. After about five minutes of actually having to hear the wails coming from those little monsters, I was ready to pull the emergency exit lever and hurl myself out the window. In the end though I just tried my hardest to fixate on an old paperback which I decided last minute to throw into my bag before being hauled off to school. If I have to listen to those screeches again tomorrow I don't even think Pink Floyd will be able to keep me from bashing those kids heads against the window. Please don't take this ranting the wrong way. I love kids. In fact I want to be a teacher when I get older (as hard as that may be to believe). I usually have a lot more tolerance, but it's that time of month and the last of the Midol has run out.

Going over to dads tonight. Mom is leaving for New York to visit Grandpa. We're not sure how much longer he's going to stick around. I don't really know how that makes me feel. He never has been the most affectionate person in the world, which probably wouldn't even change on his death bed, but I know he loves me.

One more thing, what business do the movie producers have making a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean without Orlando Bloom!?!?!?!?!

First Of All...

This blog is about my life (bare with me), and other random things that just pop into my head. I'm going into high school next year and decided to give this whole blogging thing a try. I probably wont get to posting every day, but if you don't have anything to do and need a few moments now and then to focus on something other than your own life, go ahead and read this...

Classes have ended for me. I have three weeks left of school before I get a full three months of Summer vacation. Today, we went to go see some "self taught artiest." I think I would have found it more interesting if I'd gotten more than five hours of sleep the night before. Well, maybe not. I'm not that into folk art. Though I did get a new CD by Shannon O'Connor, which is amazing. :)

What's the name of that red-headed judge on TV? What a bitch! I can't tell if she's brilliant or just a tough ass! Can someone please try and explain to me what the heck could be going through her mind?
