So I Did Get the Part!!!

Haven't written anything for a while because my computer decided to break down on the 26th.  Last time I wrote I hadn't gotten an email with the script of Single Daddies.  Well, Tuesday passed and still nothing.  I was going to call but I got busy with my brother's doctor appointment and got home kind of late.  Wednesday morning I called.  No answer.  I left a voice mail and was completely sad.  A few minutes later I got a call from a different phone number and it was them =) The girl said that I should have gotten the script since Sunday and was freaking out because I was supposed to know my lines.  It was such a relief to me.  They had the wrong email.

So yeah, my computer decided to break down that day, meaning I had no where to read the script.  My sister's computer is very glitchy so I wanted to go get it printed out.  I have no printer and the script was about 40 pages, I couldn't just call my friend and have her print it.  I called another friend of mine that lives close to me to see if he could print it from school and get it to me before my acting class so that I could prepare for it there but he was not answering.  I didn't want to ask my boyfriend because he lives far.  Well, I decided to go to the library. By that time it was about 4pm.  It took time to get a library card and the wait time for a computer was long.  It was around 5:15 when my sister calls me telling me my mom hasn't made it home and she has no ride to get to work. UGH!!!!!! I had to leave without getting anything printed to take my sister to work and the library closed at 6pm so I couldn't go back.  Then my friend calls me and tells me that yes he can print it out so I emailed him the stuff.  By the time I dropped off my sister he calls me telling me that he won't be home until midnight...UGGHH!!! Back to square one.  I called my boyfriend and he gladly did it but I had to go pick it up...so I had to cancel on my acting class and just concentrate on getting ready for the next day.  I really wanted to get everything set early and get my good night sleep.

As I read the script though, I realized that the character that I was playing was a bit different from what I had imagined.  She was a bit more on the slutty side.  When I read the call sheet it only asked me to bring a suit, but no description.  I decided to take some variety just in case (Skirts) because the suit just didn't seem right.  Well, I got all my stuff ready, reviewed my scene and went to bed thinking I actually did it...I actually got everything ready on time and was actually going to bed early (which is something that doesn't happen to me often, I'm a rushing-at-the-last-minute kind of girl).  I was wrong.

My dogs before in 2009

I went to sleep at midnight, 30 minutes later I hear my dogs barking, crying and growling (I have a bunch of dogs since one had puppies last year)  I thought it was the little ones playing around but it sounded horrible! I jumped out of bed and so did my aunt and sister, opened the door and it was not the little ones.  The big one had gotten inside and had the other smaller dog by the neck whipping her back and forth (not the first time this happens, but it is quite a long story).  This was something we had been avoiding and we had been so careful. I didn't understand how the big one got inside.  Last time this happened we thought she was going to kill her.  Well, she wouldn't let go of her and the little ones were scared.  We were hitting her and my aunt was throwing stuff at her but she wouldn't budge.  She dragged her down the stairs and we were all so scared screaming and crying.  The little one wasn't moving any more and her eyes were wide open.  I thought she was dead and cried out even louder.  My aunt opened the door because the big dog usually gets distracted and runs outside, but this time it didn't work and she just dragged the little one outside with her still biting her by the neck.  I had already dropped to the floor crying and screaming "She killed her!" (My dogs are very important to me, they are part of our family).  My aunt ran outside after her with my sister and finally pulled the little one away.  With the door open my other puppies ran outside as well and all of them disappeared.  Only one little one stayed because he was in the back yard the whole time.  When I saw my aunt bringing the little carrying the little one back inside I was sure she was dead.  She wasn't moving, not even blinking.  Then she moved a little bit so we decided to take her to the emergency vet.  I asked my sister to call around and find a vet near by while she was taking care of the little one.  In the mean while my aunt and I got in the car and circled around the neighborhood looking for the other dogs.  They never ran off. They knew this was their house but they were scared. We couldn't find them so we went back home to check on our other dog.  The puppy that had stayed in the back yard didn't even see what happened and he was scared.  He didn't want us touching him.  He thought we were the bad ones.

My sister kept calling around but it was going to be ridiculously expensive.  I didn't care because I didn't want our dog to die but then as my mom cleaned up her wounds we realized they were not actually that bad so we decided to take care of it ourselves.  We drove around one more time looking for the other dogs and we found them but they were running away from us.  They thought we were trying to hurt them.  We took them back home and by the time we all calmed down and our hurt dog was out of danger it was almost 4am.  I only slept until 5:30am that night because what had happened was in my head the whole time. You see the big dog is my baby, and that night we realized we had to get rid of her and it hurt so bad.  I was trying not to think about it because I knew I would start crying and I didn't want to go to the filming with my eyes all puffy.

In the AM I woke up and tried to relax but it was so hard.  I just wanted to cry and sleep. But I went to my filming because of course I couldn't cancel and it was very important to me...
