Found a blast from my recent-ish past

So a few years ago, I got it into my head that I should try acting professionally. I loved to do it for fun, why not give it a try and see if I could succeed? I had a couple of crappy auditions, and finally... bang! I actually landed a paying gig. The thing was, it was for a music video, and I was supposed to be a dancer in it. I don't dance. Well, I should qualify that as I don't dance well. I can sort of count out beats and theoretically follow them, but if it gets more complicated than that, I better have a lot of space around me, or else I may hurt the more talented and qualified people around me. I am not being over dramatic. I have actually punched someone (accidentally) at a call back. So I went to the filming of this video with knots in my stomach and several outfit options for the people in wardrobe. I felt slightly less nervous when I found out I was cast as an office worker and had to wear a pant suit. How hard could the dance be if I had to do it in a suit? Right? Thank goodness it wasn't overly difficult and I didn't have to look to professional. The story of the video was this: The band was on a roof and tapped into the city's radio feed. Their song infects people with either funk, or music, or weirdness and we become possessed and dance like zombies. I shrugged and went with it. We didn't get to really meet the band, which was called McFly (they're huge in Europe I'm told.) but their front man Danny came to say "Hi" and was really sweet. The other fake office workers and I hung out for several hours and ate cheese cubes from the craft service truck and then we shot our scene. I learned that day that I much prefer theatre. You rehearse for days, but the audience is right there and giving you feedback each night. But I can say I tried, and I have a lovely video that's on YouTube and on television somewhere. Enjoy! I'm the redhead in the pink jacket at some kind of board meeting. (We're actually playing hangman.)
