There may be people out there who enjoy auditions. I can't imagine why. (insert your own joke about "People like that other awful thing," then pretend I said it. Everyone wins! 
This week was auditions for our spring show. I've been on both sides of the table in my day, and I don't care for it. As an auditioner, shooting for a role, it's scary. Not Samara-coming-through-the-television-to-kill-you scary, but still. And as the person casting the project, you have to take this group of people wanting a role (or at least I hope they are...) and say to some of them "Sorry, you won't do." It's... it's mean, is what it is. I don't enjoy it. Especially when someone I like and want to involve isn't going to make it. It hurts a little.
I mentioned fear just then. Past year or so has taught me one thing--I'm getting tired of fear standing between me and nearly everything worth doing. Fear stops us from doing things that are ultimately very worthwhile... and stuff that would remove us from the gene pool, but that's beside the point. In January I was scared of learning to Scuba dive, and it was fantastic. Yesterday I was a little scared of getting on that roller coaster that kills people, but Gina didn't want to go alone, and it was great fun (even if my back and chest got screwed up for the rest of the day). I'm perpetually frightened of talking to new people... and thus the only women I ever meet are actresses I can't have (they tend to be dating large men named Jeff) and teenage candy girls I don't want (if I wanted to date high school girls, the window was 10 years ago. Too late now). I should know that the only thing worth fearing is regret, but that's a problem later on while making eye contact with a woman I don't know (or don't know very well) is scary now. Perhaps I will get past this. Perhaps not.
That may have been more sharing than you were looking for. Oh well. I'll update in a day or two and nobody will have seen it! Nobody! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA... ha.
Prove me wrong. Leave a comment. Hey, why not tell me what you're afraid of? Is it spiders? It is, isn't it? You can tell me, they creep me out too. Man, in Australia they were the size of your head and hairy like a Baldwin brother...
Toodle-pip, yo.
