are you ready for it--?

maybe it's a bit of a drunken revelation, or a bit of 'hey, you know what? fuck it.' that fueled sooyoung's initial filling out of the stupid interest form for the next iteration of next generation- nonetheless, she's done it now, and she's too proud to back out. bright and early, she finds herself shuffled and sorted among hundreds of other hopefuls, corralled into a gymnasium and watching a projected image of each company ceo themselves extol the requirements and qualities of their respective companies.

yawn.

while she accompanied jinyoung to every portion of the process that she could, it's a little different being the subject herself, and the method of application. (and honestly, as soon as she hears the requirements for 'phase two', she kind of kicks herself for not joining jinyoung on the show last year- as that at least sounded easier.)

sooyoung regrets the little sleep that she got as she toys with the stickered number that she stuck to a thigh of her pants as the details are shared and it's revealed that not only will there be an interview of sorts, but what sounds like a talent sharing- and she is woefully unprepared.

what kind of talent do i even have that doesn't require tools? she questions as she's ushered along with a group into one of the rooms she assumes is meant to present a company. and for once, sooyoung wonders if drunken ambition really did her in, and she's in over her head. sr media already declined to cast her, delta questioned whether her motives were her own or a mirror of her brother's and that she needed to work on self-expression and individuality, and now, it's like she was just waiting for lime to give her more lemons.

the only part sooyoung has hesitantly prepared for is something about a 60 second piece, which is apparently going to be for the only company she hasn't been handed a rejection from yet. steeling her nerves, sooyoung files into the herd that's organized by numbers now, and waits her turn, watching much younger, much more talented teens and others showcase their 60 seconds, and suddenly her perfect rendition of maniac's [viviz] chorus choreography seems all-too-bland. she blanches as soon as her back is turned away from the judge and cameras and immediately goes to the back of the group, dissatisfied.

fortunately, she at least has a little more time to think about some sort of additional special talent as her group is informed that they're heading to sr media's questions room next. at least talking is something she's good at- usually. she waits as they go down the metaphorical line, trying to guess at what questions she'll be asked, until it is her turn, and a question she hadn't heard yet is fired rapidly at her. 'What is the most interesting place that you have been to wearing the shoes that you’re wearing now?' sooyoung glances down at her shoes, her favorite pair of heels that now seem a horrible choice for today. "flea market," she responds quickly, before realizing only a half-second later that she needs to elaborate on that before she sounds completely boring. "i went to los angeles for a hairstylist's convention and my friend took me to an antique market there," she continues, slowly gaining her courage back. "these are actually almost ten years old," she laughs. sooyoung can't tell if anyone is amused or not, but the questions continue, 'What can you bring to the table that we won’t see in any other contestant?' "honesty," is the quickest knee jerk reply that she can give, and that one seems to land, with a few chuckles in her direction. 'what's your favorite useless fact?' which is one that she's actually ironically prepared for-- the silly anecdotes are often good icebreakers when she has a new client in her chair, and sooyoung knows quite a lot of useless fun facts. "an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain." she nods with a cheeky smile. and sooner than she can blink, her group is finished and sent to delta's room.

this time, sooyoung thing's she has somewhat of a strategy, having sidled up to a somewhat friendly looking younger girl and asked if she could borrow her- more specifically, her hair, for her turn at a special talent, quickly wrapping the girl's hair in a spare pair of stockings that live in sooyoung's bag. her turn arrives, and she proudly declares that her special talent is style, and pulls her newfound assistant to the front of the room with her. after a quick introduction and polite smile, she confirms, "i work as a stylist and cosmetologist, and my talent i will show today is quick transformation." and with that, she gently unwraps the girl's hair, revealing barely there (though it's proof of concept, really) curls, and, as if she's mentoring someone at the shop, she stands to the side so the judges and camera can see. "if you want to see how bangs look or just wear the style for a special occasion, you can juuuust," she speaks while she works, fingers deftly sizing the lengths of hair to pin back and applying pins in just the right fashion. "aaaaaand, voila," she steps aside with a flourish and gestures presentationally to the girl that kindly volunteered to help her. "a completely different look, with no last implications." sooyoung grins, "great for those of us with commitment issues," she jokes.

27 February 2019

Wednesday

Today is a good day to perform rituals involving Awareness.

On this day in 1827 was the first Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans.

Fun Facts – an ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.

Today we will dedicate to Rosa ‘Chrysler Imperial’ and our backyard buddy Lanza’s Frog.

I am grateful for rainbows.

‘There’s always some truth behind “just kidding”, knowledge behind every “I don’t know”, emotions behind “I don’t care” and pain behind “it’s okay”.’ Unknown

Amazing Trivia Part 1

Title: Amazing Trivia Part 1

Summary: I admit it .. I LIKE trivia, tho it serves no purpose for me since I can never remember any to bring up in conversation. But still, it is fun, so I’ve created this list of amazing trivia that I found to be absolutely riveting.

Article Body: I admit it .. I LIKE trivia, tho it serves no purpose for me since I can never remember any to bring up in conversation. But still, it is fun, so I’ve created this list of amazing trivia that I found to be absolutely riveting.

1. Snails can sleep up to 3 years. Not so amazing actually since I managed to sleep thru 6 years of jr. high and high school. And when you think about it, what do snails have to do all their lives? Sure, they leave great slime trails and make excellent targets for salt shakers and little boys, but other than that there’s not much more to do but sleep after an exhausting run across a sidewalk.

2. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first-class. Until I read this, I was convinced that there was an olive missing from my salad, yet no one would believe me. Now I am vindicated! I am now searching for proof that the airlines have taken one peanut from each bag .. I’ll keep you posted.

3. An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain. After reading this, I realized that I know of many people with the same problem! But that’s an article about politicians I’m working on. For me, it’s usually that my eyes are bigger than my stomach…

4. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. Well, I’d like to see anyone keep this up long enough to actually lose 150 calories. Now that I think about it, I DON’T want to see…

5. Donald Duck comics were banned in Finland because he doesn’t wear pants. This is completely understandable.. I mean, who wants to look at a duck with no pants on? Besides, I understand that it is the law for all birds to wear pants in the city limits of Finland.

6. If you pass gas consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. I tried to prove or disprove this, but two things stopped me … I couldn’t stand to look at a bowl of chili after the third day, and my girlfriend threatened to leave me … although it was kinda hard to tell what she was really saying with that gasmask on.

7. In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes. Now, this piece of trivia leaves ALOT to the imagination, which is probably a good thing. BUT, I would like to point out, you’d have to be pretty limber to get some on those hairs .. nuff said.

8. The ant always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. I know this trivia fact isn’t true ’cause I’ve gone drinking with my ants several times and I’ve watched them fall over in several different directions… usually they tend to fall on my uncles tho.

9. The average human eats eight spiders in their lifetime at night. I don’t know about this fact … I’ve seen several spiders at night and never once felt compelled to eat one. Though I hear that spider is tasty if barbequed correctly.

10. And now for our final fun trivia fact: Some lions mate over 50 times a day… No wonder the females do all the work.
