Well, today has been a long and strange, but good day. This morning, Jess and I decided to venture out to downtown Los Angeles to the fashion district. I guess I was expecting high-fashion, couture shops with celebs buying expensive clothing, but when we arrived, I was definitely surprised. The supposed fashion district was basically a two-mile stretch of road that was equivalent to large-city Chinatown markets. It was a ton of junky shops selling all kinds of cheap clothes and bags, etc. Even socks 24 pairs for $10, lol. Needless to say, we drove down the street and did not get out. It was a bit jank.
Then we ate back in Santa Monica at a Mexican restaurant. There was a homeless man outside with a sign that said "Dreaming of a hamburger," so we asked him if he'd settle for a taco, and we bought him some lunch. He seemed very grateful, and we watched him savor his food from inside the restaurant. It was nice.
Next, I got ready and then we headed to Studio City to be there early for my appointment with a talent agent. I had my first real professional acting audition! I arrived and was given some "sides" (aka-a script to read with one of the agents), and I had to study it for about 20 minutes and then perform it. I was a character from a FOX crime drama, and I feel like I did pretty well. Then, I just talked with the 2 agents in a small room-I think they wanted to feel out my personality-and then they told me that they need to talk amongst themselves and they would let me know hopefully tomorrow whether or not they will represent me. Wow, that's a big decision, and I'll DEFINITELY be posting the result. I know either way is what God meant to happen, and I'll just go with it...but I'm feeling at peace and relaxed, and glad that the ball is out of my court for now!
After all that, Jessica (had a little trouble making her way back down Ventura Blvd. but FINALLY made it to pick me up!) and we went to Universal City. We had dinner at Tony Roma's (YUM), and then watched "Flat Top," an amazing and hilarious street perfomer there. Coincidentally, I had seen him 3 years ago there when Jac, Alicia, Whit, Catey, and I went to LA. He was just as good at the robot as I remembered!
Well, I'm exhausted. And, I feel like an independent woman who can find her way around LA-it's a good feeling :) Goodnight! (I may add pictures to this later, but you can check Jessica's pic site listed above for the most recent photos!)
Glad the audition went well! Thanks for keeping us updated on everything...I know I appreciate it a ton.

I'm praying for you, girl! Keep posting! It's so much fun reading about what is going on!
BTW, it's pretty easy to import your blog to Facebook Notes. You just go to "Edit Import Settings." (Just in case you were interested.)
