for some time now, i've wanted to be on tv... not like an interviewee on the local news, but like in the cast or as the host of an actual show. unfortunately, i have never been in the position to accomplish this goal... until recently. with my move to chicago came an increase in chances to explore the wonders of being a regular on everyone's favorite mass medium.
it is a specific want, though. i do not want to be on a gameshow (though i did audition for teen jeopardy when i was in 8th grade). i do not want to host a talk show. i do not want to be the project on a makeover show. i would host a gameshow. i would be on a travel show or sitcom. i would be on reality television that doesn't involve dating or competition.
thus, i've decided that this sunday at 10 am i will be attending an open call for mtv's the real world. now, now... stay calm. while i've never really had aspirations to be on the show and i do realize that being on the show is pretty much the kiss of death for any other career in entertainment, i mainly want to experience the audition. one time in college, dave eggers returned to his almost alma mater and told a story about his shot at the real world; it sounded fantastic. furthermore, friends who do follow the series have told me time and again (especially right after i graduated from college and did nothing with my life) that i'd be great for the show, and i'd love the validation, if i were to get asked for even a second round interview or whatever. it'd mean i'm pretty enough for tv, and who knows more about that than mtv. besides, being put up in a phat pad for 6 months with 6 strangers, being asked for nothing but to get drunk and be filmed in return, has got to be sweeter than working 9 hours a day and paying rent.
how could they possibly turn down someone who quite possibly could be paris hilton's long lost, younger brother?
...stop being polite and start being real...
if anyone else wants to go with me, just give me a shout. it could be fun, fun, fun.
i.f.o.t.d. - clowns. everything and anything involving clowns. i still can't watch "it" to this day... i can't even read "it" to this day. actually, the book/dvd/video cover to "it" scares me.
