I can't sleep, I have an interview tomorrow (well, today) and can't sleep AT ALL. Anyone up for chatting? I have been on this board pratically all night just reading posts and I'm starting to run out of things to read.
I'm sure you actors get a bit nervous before an audition, right? Maybe?
It's my 3rd interview for this job and the other nights before, I couldn't sleep at all.
Anyone else get nervous like this or am I just crazy?

Crack open a bottle of gin, insert a straw and imbibe. It works wonders for me!

Chorus girl to Ethel Merman on an opening night "Gosh Miss Merman, aren't you nervous?"

The Merm replieth, "Nervous? Why should I be nervous? I know my lines."

So how did the interview go?

And I can think of plenty of things a girl can do if she's up all night.

Ah yes....how did it go....

Well, since I was up half the night, I finally did fall asleep sometime around 10 or so (I was being picked up at 1:30pm) after putting out what I was going to wear and taking a shower (one less thing to do right?) So I set my alarm and tried to get in a nap. Half hour later, someone decides to start nailing wood SOMEWHER near me so I tore apart my closet and found a pair of earplugs I got when I flew from Rome to NYC a few months ago. Put the earplugs in, got in bed, closed my eyes.....and yes. SLEEP.
Next thing I hear is my front door being opened which freaked me out because I live alone. It turned out to be the super. from my apartment with the driver that was sent to pick me up. Supposedly he was knocking on my door but I didn't hear him OR my alarm because of the earplugs. Also the battery in my cell phone was broken so, no cell phone. By this time it's 1:55pm and I have to be at the interview at 3pm. I throwon my clothes, at this point my mom is calling and screaming at me to get out the door (the super. called her to make sure it was ok to open the apartment cause she cosigned my lease.
So off we are to Manhattan, me without my cell phone, I had to borrow the driver's to make calls. I made it JUST in time for the interview. It went well except my head felt like it was still spinning the whole time. I get back to my apartment to a message from my mom telling me to go out ASAP and to buy a new alarm clock, and a new cell phone.
Being a bit on the anxious side as it is, of course this totally wiped me out. I am now going to bed and hope that when I wake up tomorrow, I do not have to think of this day for a VERY long time.
