Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Call backs from Monday’s audition were last night. The director asked me to read one more time, then I was finished. I was a little disappointed that I only got to read once, since lots of the other girls were asked to read numerous times. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. When it was time to read for one of the parts I wanted, she asked several black women to read for it, but no one else. Having seen their versions of it, I knew that the director would give the part to a one of them. They were really fantastic.
I’ve never seen the full “script” for this production, so I wasn’t sure which parts I would want when they asked me. I picked a few and that interested me, hoping they would get the gist of the type of part I wanted. I wanted one of the more humorous pieces. When I checked the cast list today, I was offered a part that wasn’t listed in any of the audition packets they gave out. I’ve seen the show performed before, so I have a vague rememberance of the piece, but I don’t remember if it’s very humorous or not. I can’t remember how long the piece is either. I suppose I’ll find out Monday when the cast meets.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
