My life with Aspergers

Chapter 51- Round 2= Fail

So a couple of days ago, I auditioned for American Idol in Provo, which is about a hour away from where I live. I left that morning at 7:30 ish and drove up. When I finally got there, there was a very long line.. I mean I read online that I should be there before 9, but I had no idea that many people were already there. I went around the the building to try to find the ending of the line so I could just be in the back of the line like everyone else. I finally made it to the back of the line, or so I thought when this lady told me that the back of the line was around the corner. So I just said okay and went to the back of the line.. Now there was probably at least 50 people ahead of me or so. Now I know with some people, if they saw how long the line was, they would probably just say, "Ah screw it. I'm leaving" or something like that. But me? I had patients.

It seemed like every 30 minutes, we moved up a little bit.. At least that's what it seemed like. So I'm gonna fast forward of moving up.. Okay fast forwarding to being up close to the American Idol banner. I was really close to putting my registration in. Finally after doing that, I had to wait in line where the markers were that the people told me to stand in. After that, this one other person directed where I should go but there was people in front of me. Finally when it came my turn to sing, and after I was done singing the judge told the 5 of us to step forward. She said that is was a "no" this time. And I completely understood. I just nodded and said okay.

Now let me tell you what I mean by round 2. This was actually my second time auditioning for American Idol,  which was in Deer Creek in Idaho I think... I can't remember the city name. And let me tell you; the first time I didn't get in either, but that was okay. Sure, I was a little sad I didn't make it in the first time but I guess they were looking for a unique kind of voice. It's not that I didn't have a good voice, because I was a pretty good singer... Just not what they were looking for. And when I auditioned for American Idol the second time, I wasn't expecting to actually get in. All I could do was try, and that's what I did: I tried, even if it meant that I didn't get in. But who knows;  Maybe in January you'll see my audition tape.. But then again, maybe not. But I don't have any expectations... But that's okay. I'm not sad I didn't make it in... Okay maybe just a little bit but like I said, I wasn't expecting to get in. At least I tried.
