God I hope I get it, I hope I get it, how many people does he need?

Wow today was a pretty good day for me, it was my usual kick back day of catching up on my TiVo, but then I got to audition for the AALA Roundup's annual show for the convention. It was a great experience, I hadn't auditioned for a show in YEARS, almost a decade now. My self esteem going in there was pretty high, I have learned in sobriety to be self confident. I mean after all I did get into the advanced classes at boarding school, and I was cast in the first production freshman year at Wagner College, with Mr. Queer Eye himself Jai Rodriguez! And it was rare for freshmen to be cast in the first production of the year. So I pretty much nailed it I think, I got into the show, but then again everyone gets into the show (I found out later), I will start rehearsals next week and hopefully I will get a good role. My head did trip a little on the bus ride home, I was thinking that maybe I wasn't good enough or something because they did tell all of us there that we should all show up next week. I should just be grateful to have this opportunity to get back into my Broadway shoes, and I am. Trying to get outside validation is, or at least should be, old behavior for me, but one step at a time Missy one step at a time.
I am way tired, so I will share the audition details tomorrow, when I am lucid and more clear headed. Nighty night y'all!


Anyway, my music video pick for this week is an oldie but definitely a goody! The incomparable Mama Cass singing “Make Your Own Kind of Music”.
