Nelle's Notes

I usually am always up for a new experience. I like adventure. This weekend I participated in my first ever casting call to be an extra in a movie. You see, a few weeks ago there was this big hype about a celebrity being in town to film a movie. Well, come to find out, they were doing casting calls. I had not planned on participating until we drove by the high school where they were being hosted and saw that it was the perfect opportunity to make a memories and squeeze in a few moments of laughter. We pulled up to the high school and stepped out into the muggy air. Ok ok... it wasn't muggy (like today is), but it was rather warm. We stepped out of the two door sports car and headed inside the school. We saw all kinds of people... there were mothers powdering their children's noses, those young at heart wearing their favorite Caribbean shirts, complete families in head to toe dress suits, young aspiring tweens with resume in hand, and the small handful of cowboys (hats & boots included). It was quite an exciting adventure. I could probably place it within my top 100 things I have done... well maybe. :) It was finally our turn to go inside the small (but overly crowded) room. We filled out a quick survey and then got back in another line which led us to another room... There we "tried out". Tried out meaning they gave us a number, took our photo, and sent us on our way. I'm not really sure how one can decide on extras by just looking at your photo amongst millions, but hey you never know.

Afterward, we took a few pictures underneath the big bruin bear and went on our merry way. I can definitely say it was an experience that will be talked about.

What kind of new experiences have you been up to lately? Are you the type of person that likes a good adventure or do you prefer a quiet evening at home?

Take every opportunity. Live life to the fullest.
