mood: 
excited
So one night, I was watching Britney Spears' documentary Off the Record (shut up! she intrigues me, okay?? and this story is worth it, i promise). I got to the part where she's auditioning dancers and I was like, "Well, how cool is that? These people just happened to see an ad and showed up and now they get to do what they love to do for fun AND get paid for it. I wish I could dance."
But then I thought, well, I can sing? Most days. If I really try. And I try. In my car. So. Why can't I sing for fun in my spare time and get paid for it.
So the other night (well, morning? 3am is morning, I guess) I was randomly browsing through Chicago ads and found one: Looking for female back up singer for live shows in and around the Chicago area. I was reluctant at first, like I always am. But my sister pretty much forcibly made me press the send bottom. I love her. :)
Long story short, after several exchanges, I finally received an email two seconds ago asking if I was interested in meeting the band and some info about rehearsal schedules. I'm really excited about this. Kinda nervous! Never done anything remotely close to this. (is. she's playing Schubas in September. Schubas? I've yet to see a show at Schubas let alone perform there if I get the chance!) But I'm all about new experiences these days.
I think she's really talented (Check her out!) and she mostly does shows just around Chicago which works out well for me. The audition is later this week.. I get to meet with the band and run through a few songs to see if I'm a good fit. Wish me luck!
Hope you all are feeling something akin to swimming in a sea of rose petals. Unless you have severe allergies. Or something. Then I just wish you well.

Post script, I'm watching "World's Strictest Parents" and it's making feel sick to my stomach. For some reason.

Ha, so you know all that talk about music blah blah uniting people that barely know each other? I think it does a pretty good job of uniting people from all over the WORLD that have never met before too.
The result totally makes the embarrassment of my lone self screeching in the basement to participate in this worth it. (Whoa, loaded sentence. Too tired to attempt to fix it.)
Anyhoo. I've been really bad about staying connected, I'm sorry. :( But I'm still around and I still read, I promise. Hope you all have been splendid!
