Recently, I auditioned for a role in the sequel of the short film the person I’m seeing was in. I recorded a pretty decent audition tape and texted my person that I finished my audition. They were so excited and confident that I would get the part.
Cut to today where I just learned I didn’t. I did have a feeling (the director never contacted me again after I sent in my audition), but I’m nervous how my person is going to feel. Luckily they’re on vacation for a theatre trip and less likely to check instagram.
They’re a big theatre kid, so they know that sometimes you don’t always get the parts you want or any parts at all. I just don’t want them to be disappointed when they find out. They come back home on Friday and then we’re meeting the day after that. I hope they don’t find out before Sunday

@HereComesDaSun22 Aww, that's sweet! Hah, I mean, from what you've said about him, you're not wrong. I'd make fun of him too honestly. Fair, I'd probably only be on stage in front of a piano. Tech is also really important, almost if not all of a production would be fucked if not for the incredibly diligent individuals working behind the scenes to make sure it doesn't end horribly. My god, that sounds AWFUL. Surviving that is a feat of its own, you deserve a medal for that. Funny enough, my school's mascot is literally a thunderbolt and we call ourselves the (insert school name) Thunder (the name makes a lot more sense with our actual school name in the blank space but I'll trade grammatical sense for anonymity for now). Technically our mascot that shows up to football games is a navy blue dinosaur with silver spikes on its back called Thundersaurus, but for the sake of us not seeming like we're from Sesame Street, we just go with Thunder. There's also a glass lightning bolt called Excalibur that out activities director uses to control when crowds cheer at games and school-wide rallies, so honestly, no one ever really knows what's going on in terms of what represents our school.

@AnikaSN1098 Aw, thanks! They wore the hairpin I made them to their theatre banquet, and I like to imagine they got a lot of compliments on it. They also told me how upset their cousin is that they went on a date with a girl before he did. In return, I thanked them for being the ultimate rage bait for my friend when I’m making fun of her boyfriend that looks like he listens to country. I’m not being humble about acting. I’m better than the average person due to taking a couple of classes for school and having the occasional small role when I was still little enough to participate in the musical at my friend’s church, but if I’m on the stage, it’ll probably be with a cello in one hand, a bow in the other, and my binder on the stand. Again, there’s a reason I prefer tech. I probably would have volunteered to do sound design if there weren’t only advertising for actors. If I had to name the most braggable thing about me, I’d say it was not dying at that god awful pool. I may have almost gotten stung by a wasp twice and I may have come in dead or second to last in all the events I did before it lightninged on us (haha because the other team’s mascot was the lightnings and then we got caught in a thunderstorm plssavemeI’mneverswimmingthereagain), but I didn’t hit my head on that awkward corner that appears out of nowhere or throw up which is more than I can say for at least two people on our team. That pool should not be competition legal.

@HereComesDaSun22 You have plenty of braggable things about you! You’re great at crochet, I bet you’re better at acting than you make yourself out to be, and unfortunately I can’t see you in person so I don’t have a lot of knowledge on your other talents, but knowing you, there’s a lot. I bet they’re already bragging about you and you just don’t know it. Regardless, I’m glad you’re not upset about it, there are always other things you can do that make both you and them happy. Mostly you though.
