Jesus Doesn't Want Me To Be On Glee

I love Glee. I have loved it since it first appeared in promotional advertising and I continue to love it well into its second season.

When I heard they were having an open casting call for new Glee cast members, I immediately decided to submit my video.

I decided to... I didn't actually submit it at that time. My roommate came home, and... well... auditioning for Glee is not something you can do in front of other people. It's something you do around 1am in an empty apartment with your Sony Cybershot filming you from its post on a stool stacked on top of the table, praying your friend's neighbors are out of town so you don't have to explain the dorkfest when you run into them in the hall the next morning. Purely hypothetical.

Regardless, I figured I had approximately a month to get around to it. PLEEENNNTY of time. April 26th. The final deadline for audition submission. I woke up at 11a, went for a jog, did some reading, and around 3p went online to sort out the whole audition process.

Interesting.

11:59am is a far different time than 11:59pm. I probably should not have mixed those two up.

I missed the deadline. Of course.

I was super bummed, but figured it was a sign it wasn't meant to be. The next night I was explaining this to a friend, only to discover an hour later that they had extended the deadline - added on another day! Again, I took this as a sign.

The next day, I went to my auditions, went to a new class at Equinox, and came home to do my audition. Unfortunately, I got distracted by my growling stomach and tivo'ed 30 Rocks I had yet to watch. FINALLY around 1am, I started to record my videos. Braindead... scratchy throat... no clue what to say in the stupid "tell me why you should be on Glee" video... it takes me quite a few attempts. So many attempts, in fact, that my camera dies on my last take of 'Lean On Me.' Whatever, who really needs that last second of my, at that point, trembling vibrato. It's done, let's throw it on the computer, upload it, and make everyone I've ever met vote for me.

At that moment, I paused. My camera was dead. I didn't bring my battery charger with me. Also, I failed to bring along the cord to connect my camera to the computer or even the computer itself. improbablygonnabeacatlady, who I am staying with at this time, was stuck in airport hell and wouldn't be back 'til 5am. Great. I'm an idiot. My stupid audition videos, which totally suck, by the way, are stuck on my stupid dead Cybershot. I am so dumb. I watch an episode of the Hills to make me feel better about myself and go to sleep.

Miraculously, the next morning improbablygonnabeacatlady awakes at 11am and produces a battery, cord, and a computer. YAYYYY IT'S GONNA WORK OUT AFTER ALL!!!!

Ok. Videos posted exactly at 11:59am. Done and done. All that's left to do is shamelessly promote my link to everyone I've ever known. (And tell them to disregard the huge bags under my eyes and the lame 'pick me!' video and the scratchy throat... basically tell them not to watch it. Just vote for me.)

Hm.

About that link.

I can't find the link to my audition videos. My myspace page (which, heretofore, I was unaware even still existed) update my status to "Stacie auditioned for Glee " and provided a link to the main page. Once there, I searched for my name, finding 5 other Stacie's, but not me.

I can't find my own audition.

Thanks, Jesus. I'm pretty sure he deleted it.
