taking chances

So there's this show Glee, perhaps you've heard of it.

If you're friends with me, chances are you have. It's only one of the best shows on TV right now.

On another, somewhat related note, I've recently been having a semi-existential life crisis. I have spent the better part of the last 21 years of my life doing exactly what was expected of me, and one day I woke up and decided I wanted more than that. And while I don't exactly know what that looks like, I'm excited about figuring it out along the way. I know I won't always get things right, but life's about falling down and picking yourself up again, brushing the dirt off of your knees and moving forward.

I'm graduating in less than a month and literally have no idea what I'm doing, and am surprisingly okay with that. For the first time in my life, I don't have a plan. It makes me feel like the sky is the limit.

This brings me back to Glee (I know, this seems erratic). They're having an open casting call, and I've decided to give it a shot. So I made an audition video, uploaded it to myspace (yes, myspace. I know. I haven't been on myspace since high school either), and now it's time to wait and see what happens. If you really love me, you'll go to the website, find me (don't worry, there's a search bar), and give me a gold star. But if you think I suck, please don't tell me. I'd rather not know, and if it's not too much to ask, give me a gold star anyway, just because.

I know that this is a long shot, but it's as my mom says, "it's a long shot for everyone, and someone's going to get it." So here's to me taking a chance. I'm glad I did it.
