Some days are like biting into a peanut butter cup that has gone old before it\u2019s time leaving you with a mouth full of dried chalky peanut butter that\u2019s unpalatable.\u00a0 Others are like sinking your teeth into the soft rich creaminess of that nutty heaven washing it down with a wave of rich chocolate goodness.\u00a0 Today was definitely the later but I had doubts when my bedmate woke me an hour after the alarm had gone off.\u00a0 It was like someone had shot me out of a cannon when he told me it was almost 1 o\u2019clock and I had to leave the house at 2 to make the go-see for a TV series casting I was reading for.\u00a0 I\u2019m still not quite sure how in an hour I ate breakfast throwing myself together and walked out the door with a mug of coffee in my hand arriving at the Austin Studios three minutes to spare. I had been called in to read for a part of a vampire stripper, two things I can absolutely do, but seeing as it was my first time to read for anything I was nervous as all get out hoping to God that I could pull off exactly what they were needing and not make a fool of myself.\u00a0 I walked into the waiting room where row after row of empty chairs lined the wall.\u00a0 There was a fair complexion-unassuming girl sitting behind the multiple clipboards labeled, \u2018SAG Affiliated Actors Sign In Sheet\u2019, \u2018Non-SAG and Extra Actors Sign In Sheet\u2019, and \u2018Entertainers Sign in Sheet\u2019.\u00a0 I reached for the pen that dangled from the clipboard that read \u2018Entertainers Sign in Sheet\u2019.\u00a0 I signed my name, Ruby Day, time: 2:57 p.m., appointment time: 3:00 and I sat down in the first row; the seat closes to the windows.\u00a0 As I looked around the room taking in the surroundings of this new experience I began to notice the many crates and boxes lining the table and filing cabinets in the small but spacious room.\u00a0 Atop of each of them stood a scotch taped sign written in black felt marker that read, \u2018Revisions to Character Scripts\u2019, \u2018Character Scripts\u2019, \u2018Extra Scripts\u2019, \u2018Return Extra Scripts Here\u2019, and \u2018Revolution Extra Scripts\u2019.\u00a0 I began wondering if I needed one of these so I walked over to the crate labeled \u2018Extra Scripts\u2019 thumbing through the hanging folder tabs until I found the one I was looking for Karina.\u00a0 I reached in and pulled out what looked as though a grade school child had been grading papers.\u00a0 The top half was crossed out with an X with lines on the top and bottom.\u00a0 There was an arrow pointing to the left with \u2018Karina\u2019 written horizontally in the margins.\u00a0 \u2018Part One\u2019 was written in large letters directly under the large X.\u00a0 Each of Karina\u2019s lines were highlighted with chartreuse yellow.\u00a0 The remainder pages seemed to mimic the first as each part was emphasized the same.\u00a0 I had seen this before when the casting company had sent over the part late last week.\u00a0 I relaxed after seeing something familiar as I walked over to the crate labeled \u2018Revisions to Character Scripts\u2019 just to make sure I wasn\u2019t missing anything.\u00a0 The last thing I wanted was to walk into the reading with the wrong script.\u00a0 I returned to my seat just in time for my name to be called.\u00a0 Lacey, whom I had spoken to the prior week, greeted me as we walked to the room next door.\u00a0 We chatted as the door was shut and I began unbuttoned my dress feeling a gust of air as it dropped to the floor.\u00a0 Dressed in nothing but six-inch stilettos and a bright blue thong string bikini I found my way to the wall where snap shots would be taken.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure who was more nervous the assistant who never looked up from her computer screen once my dress hit the floor or Lacey who seemed to be fumbling with the point-n-shoot camera.\u00a0 I just smiled, ass and all while I stood wearing not much more than a t-back and pasties.\u00a0 A few shots later and several chuckles more I was dressed walking out the door with Lacey escorting me back to the waiting room for my turn to read.\u00a0 Up to this point it had been nothing but by now I was really starting to get nervous, then I remembered what my bedmate said, \u201cIt\u2019s just a reading like you did the \u201911 inches\u2019 video.\u201d and I began to realize I had nothing to be nervous about.\u00a0 In some ways I\u2019m thankful the camera man, Scott, came out to get who ever was next so I didn\u2019t have any longer to think about things.\u00a0 I thought another man was in front of me but he insisted I go instead so I followed Scott into the room and introduced myself as a woman was running a bit hurriedly around the room.\u00a0 I asked to meet the puppy who was gracing us with his presence then introduced myself to Beth.\u00a0 Relaxed I stepped into position and we began the reading until they liked what they heard.\u00a0 It was over before I knew it as Beth and I were heading out the door.\u00a0 I still don\u2019t know exactly what she said to me but all I recall was something about hearing from them or they will be making their decision next week.\u00a0 Honestly I was in a bit of a daze over the experience.\u00a0 It was kind of like the scene in Big Fish<\/i> where he meets his true love and time stands still but when it begins again it\u2019s in fast motion.\u00a0 I remember Scott and Beth both smiling then everything sped up including Beth\u2019s words.\u00a0 I know she was speaking to me but I\u2019m not exactly sure what all she said.\u00a0 I probably should have asked her to repeat it to calm my doubts but by the time it all registered she had already closed the door and I was standing in front of the sign-in\/sign-out sheets.\u00a0 I looked at the fair complexion girl and said, \u201cI guess I\u2019m done\u201d as she pointed to the sheets instructing me to put the sign out time. Still a bit dazed my bedmate and I walked to the car as I spewed what had taken place. Now it\u2019s just waiting to see what final decision was made.<\/p>\n\n
