A different week

Since Monday First Baptist Beaverton has opened up its doors at night for people who sleep so they won't freeze to death. I have been working the exciting 11pm-5:30am shift. I am also in the church play that is being performed this weekend. Therefore, i am at the church from 6pm-6-am on the weekdays and then i try to sleep during the day. We have a skylight so the sun pours right onto my face. I had to buy one of those masks to cover my eyes while i slept because it is so bright in the living room. Thankfully, my roomates are very considerate and i'm a pretty heavy sleeper. Most nights, Ryan has gone to work or school by the time i get to bed, so one time i got to sleep in his bed.
This weekend is a little different. Because we have 2 shows today i decided to just sleep at the church from 6:30am-noon. I've decided to do the same thing tomorrow. That means i will have spent three days at the church before going home. And i only brought one set of clothes. We have a huge amount of donated clothes for the warming shelter, so maybe i'll scavenge some stuff from there. haha I WILL NOT BE A SLAVE TO HYGIENE!!!

And in other news...

I tried out for a play at PCC and was pretty bummed that i didn't get a part. This bummed me out for 2 reasons.
1) I have always gotten a part for every play that i have tried out for. So this is what rejection feels like huh? I don't like. I don't like it one bit.
2) I thought i did really good; especially in comparison to the other guys.
3) I was hoping to build some relationships with the theater people at PCC.
It upset me more than i'm proud of. A lot of questions ran through my head.
-Was i just a big fish in a small pond?
-Do i think i'm a good actor, but i'm actually not? Am i "THAT" guy?
-Am i the William Hung of acting? (please click the link and watch. Its amazing)
But, those fears were laid to rest once i recieved an e-mail from one of the other directors asking me to be the lead in his one act. It turns out that the director of the main play gave all the male roles to actors from the Tuesday audition. Apparently he doesn't usually know what he is looking for until after the first auditions. After going over scheduling issues, my director decided that it would just be too difficult for me to be the lead and be gone for two weeks during rehearsal. Therefore, i am now a much smaller role in the play, but i still have a part. This works out great for me. I have FAR fewer lines to memorize, i still get to be a part of the play, i don't have to make-out with some random girl, and i still get to rest in the knowledge that i don't suck . . . at acting.

AND

I'll be arriving in West Virginia on Monday morning December 21. I will spend nearly 2 weeks there. Then i'll drive down to NC with Candice Saturday night Jan 2nd and go to Faith Baptist church Sunday morning and see some friends before flying out of Raleigh on Monday Evening. So, who in Wake Forest wants to let me crash at their place Sunday night?
