hahaha well, that was one of my answers for a “job” interview today, my response to the question, “tell us something about you that we wouldn’t know”. thing is… i have a different job than most people, so i got away with it haha. my girlfriend adi made me realize that today, when i told my friends about it.
it was an audition/on-camera interview for a new tv show through a major, major tv network. i signed a confidentiality agreement, so once again i can’t talk/blog about it til it airs…. bleh!

it was such crazy day. i was spacing out and drove all the way to burbank on the freeway, missed my exit by a few cities haha. i exited and did a special u turn maneuver, then got pulled over by a cop for “not stopping by a pedestrian”… that i didn’t even see!!! i called bullshit on that. so i got a lovely ticket (pictured above…), AND was 1hr late for my interview.

my agent called me and i was gonna be ready to get yelled at by her for being late but she was in a good mood today. until of course the cd (casting director) gave me this 18 page contract for the tv show, and my agent asked me to fax it to her, but the cd said no and then my agent went 20% bananas. i love it that my agent cares for me so much and watches over my ass. she texted me “DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING PERIOD WITHOUT YOUR AGENT REVIEWING IT!” so they worked something out i guess. yay!

tomorrow i have a casting for a hulu commercial, wonder what they’ll make me do.

its crazy how now i’m getting involved with more contract stuff and its kinda scary. for some reason whenever i sign these contracts they say i cannot run for office for at least a year haha, and random stuff like that. i’m always scared i’m gonna get sued for something.

oh well when my shows air then ill be happy to show you all the pictures and give you the skinny on the behind the scenes drama haha.
for now…. we’ll just wait… aargh :)

PS: adopt a kitten!!!!!

so this last week was crazy fun and busy. i have been working lots which is good ($!) but also was draining.
i was a model for the “new” project runway show and i cant say much about it (im not allowed!) except it was fun and long. i worked in it two days, sunday and monday. sunday, it was an 8:30am call ugh… then on monday i had no shoot, just did some errands (day off yay!). tuesday call time was 10am, and a 15 hr day!!! we were there til midnight it was sooo draining. its gonna air on october. im in the intro (so you’ll see me in every episode) and in the finale runway show.

last week i had a nail polish party w my gf amanda and we also made muffins. it was so much fun being 14 again. funniest part was i had completely forgotten about them when i went to the shoot sunday morning and then i was like “oh shit i got polka dot glittery nails!”. it was sad when i had to get them repainted to a neutral color :(

overall the days that i wasn’t shooting a full day, looked kinda like yesterday: woke up at 9 to baby kitties on my face, had breakfast, read a book (with kitties on top), got ready, went to casting, came back home, cleaned kitty poop, talked to agent, cleaned more kitty poop, watered plants, played w kitties, adam came over, cooked dinner, played cards.
nothing really too crazy just did a lot of little things.

today its adams bday so i’m actually meeting him for lunch in north hollywood, then going to a casting for bravo’s “shear genious”, for a runway thingy. im NOT getting my hair cut unless its for at least $3,000 haha. im really trying to grow it now!!!! i miss my long hair.

then we’re going to dinner to these guys’ restaurant in west hollywood with a few good friends.
tomorrow we’re going to see adam’s land in big bear (the mountains!) and camping til saturday.

sometime last week i got a call from a casting director from telemundo, and asked me to be in a show the next day. i was very happy, because telemundo is the largest spanish speaking channel in the US, and it’s broadcasted in latin america as well. but…. i told her i could not attend because i had something going on that day, but asked her to call me back if she had anything in the future.

today, she called me again. it was last minute, call time was in a few hours. for a new show, some classy talk show, a mix between “the view” and “dr. phil”. i was going to be interviewed for a segment, and give my opinion on relationships or sth like that. the pay was good considering i was only going in for 2-3 hours. plus they’d have make up, hair, and a styilist – which i needed badly cause i look terrible today.

anyway, long story short, right before i left the show director called me. he asked me if i had ever been cheated on, and i said no. he then told me “could you pretend then you were married once and were cheated on?”. wth, i know. um, no. i felt bad, but i told him i did not want people to think i was actually married once, hell no. so then, i cancelled.

i gave up some minutes of int’l fame and some money for not lying about my life, which is worth much more than that. so there :)
