Well, here I am, sitting in my trailer, waiting for them to call me to set. It's 3:15 and I have been here since 9:30 (you do the math), and still haven't worked yet. They even had to break me for lunch, but technically it wasn't a break.
Even more frustrating than that...
Today (and tomorrow, as long as everything goes as planned. And if they don't hurry up and get to it, we may just have to film on another day!) we're shooting the Halloween Bash scene. It's a Halloween dance at Mesa High School and Lemonade Mouth (the band) is performing.
So, we're all (aside from the band) in Halloween costumes.
I'm a bumble bee.
It's actually really cute. (:
However, it's a really short dress. And being that it's Disney, of course I can't wear just the dress. So I need tights. Well, the "tights" (they're really just pants) that they had for me were, like, twenty times WAY TOO BIG. So they went to the store to get me some tights. I waited two hours and they finally came and gave me some leggings. That's right. All that waiting and it was actually not tights.
Oh, well. At least I finally got them, right?
While I was waiting, I wrote this absolutely brilliant (if I do say so myself) rap, all about being a bee and waiting for my tights. If you're not familiar with my work (HA!), my friend Devin and I are "notorious" for creating raps that are, well, simply ingenious. Haha, just kidding. But they are pretty great, usually about holidays.
So, I wrote one.
And it's kind of funny.
But before I get to that, I'm going to do a little bit of marketing. (;
As you may or may not know, my hero (in the celebrity world) is the wonderfully talented, brilliant, gorgeous Kristin Chenoweth, who is a famous Broadway (most known for creating the role of Galinda in Wicked), film, and television actress. The 4'11'' beautiful blonde and I have quite a lot in common, and I really admire her.
I'm reading her autobiography, "A Little Bit Wicked." Can I just say that it is fabulous? It really, really is. It's a light read, but has some awesomely funny stuff in it! Not to mention, you learn a lot about the actress herself and the life of a working actress in general. She does mention God and her faith quite often, and I think that's part of what makes it such a wonderful book.
Anyway, my point to all of this is that I am recommending it to every single one of you, whoever you are. I don't care if you hate the theatre or adore it, if you know everything there is to know about Kristi Dawn Chenoweth or know absolutely nothing, but you'll love it. I'm guaranteeing it! And if you don't, well, I won't give you money but you'll have the right to say to me, "YOU WERE WRONG!" as much as you'd like.
I think even if you know nothing about Broadway, you'll really appreciate the book. It's a great eye-opener to those of you who don't know anything about it and to those of you who do. It's really quite interesting! I'm just reading it for fun, but I'm sure if you ever have to read a biography for a school book report, you'd actually enjoy this one.
Okay, okay. I'm done. That's all I'll say about my hero, Krist Dawn Chenoweth's incredibly cute, clever, and fun autobiography.
Now to the fun stuff, eh?
Song of the day: "Thank Goodness," from Wicked!
Line: "I couldn't be happier."
Reason? Well, it's partially sarcastic, in that I've been waiting for six hours and haven't gone to work yet. But, let me just apologize. To all of you fellow aspiring actors and actresses, don't let this make you hesitate to start the life of a working actor (not that it would). Because really and truly, it's awesome. It's thrilling, it's exhausting, it's draining, it's wonderful, it's just fantastic. And I'm sorry if I'm coming across a bit bitter. Because really and truly, I'm not. At all. I LOVE this. Love, love, love, love, love it.
And I really could not be any happier.
