So yet another audition where I'm the fattest in the room and I'm positive that's why I didn't get the part.  I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry, but I can NOT be a size 2 when my bones are a size 8, okay?  It doesn't work like that.  I just hate it.  I can ACT!  I'M GOOD!  At least, I think I am.  I hope I am.  I'm pretty sure I am.  And all they do is look at the outside.  Yeah, dumbass, that's what they're supposed to do.  You want them to look at your insides, go be a doctor or something.  Idiot.  It’s so depressing, this endless round of auditions and rejections. 

  How much longer?  How much longer before we decide to pack it up and move home?  But there’s some perversion, some sense of if I just hold out for one more month, I’ll last longer than the thirty other girls that decide to pack it up and move home.  Thirty girls every month.  I actually don’t know if it’s thirty or not, it’s just a number that I made up to make myself feel better.  To make myself feel that I’ve got a shot, because thirty girls (that I don’t know if they even exist or not) decided to move back  home.

I mean, I do know quite a few folk that have moved home.  And it’s always such a shock.  You mean you’re giving up?  No, wait, I didn’t mean it like that.  You mean, you’re moving away?  You mean, you have other options? How great!  How wonderful, that you realize that there’s a completely normal life outside of L.A. that you’d be happy taking.
