My TV Debut

Hello Friends! I hope you are having an AWESOME Friday like I am! Please remember to keep all hands and feet inside your car at all times and enjoy your ride on the 'Blogg!'. Hahaha, just kidding! Please do remember though that if you have any questions comments or concerns please leave a comment or e-mail me at rejothom@umail.iu.edu .

I have not recieved any e-mails or comments! :( I'm starting to think I'm just talking to myself. But I really good at that so I'm going to keep blogging! I WANT to HEAR from my READERS PLEASE :D So I know who the heck you guys are! I care about you and how much fiber you're intaking, you should really try the Fiber One bar things. I've been eating them for awhile and they have just simply changed my life. I'm kidding goodness, I use Facebook to talk about how my digistive system's working! There's will be no poopy conversations on this blog!

So you are probably wondering why this blog is titled "My TV Debut". Well about two days ago, I recieved an e-mail (not from a fan..) from my college announcing that Thursday and Friday there would be open casting calls for the new campus commercials that are going to be aired on comcast in the the north central part of my state.
Now for those of you that know me, know that I love to act. Even if it's for a Speech class presentation (I'm talking to you Lizz!); I just enjoy acting. In high school I was in three fall plays and two musicals. I recieved one award for my performance of Ms. Teavee for the musical Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Okay, I promise I am done bragging.
After reading the e-mail I thought to myself, "You are going to audtion tomorrow!" Truth be told, it sounded a lot easier in my head.
I called my Mom and told her what my plans were and I told my sis and her boyfriend, so there was no way to back out. If I didn't show up to this audition, I knew I would never be able to live it down.
I psyched myself up by reading that night aloud so I could practice my 'speaking' voice. That morning I couldn't eat because I was so nervous. I went to class at 10 and didn't get out until 12:30, so the time was very close.
Suddenly I became very hungry, so I went home for lunch. I sat on the couch with Buddy(the dog) in lap. 1 o'clock passed and I was still at the apartment. Finally at around 1:30 I jumped off the couch and grabbed my keys and ran to my car. I had to do this auditon.
I arrived at the school. The long walk to the auditorium left a lot shorter than what it usually is. I looked inside and saw about 10 people in total. There were lights and cameras on the stage. I got so nervous I ran to the little girl's room.
Well long story short, I did audition for that commercial, because I am awesome! I think that I did a rather well job, and I hope I get a speaking part!
After the papers were signed and the auditon was taped (yes, I did a taped audtion) I was rewarded with an 'I heart IUK' t-shirt! All of that anxiety for a t-shirt... Actually the shirt is really cute :D

Maybe someday you all will see me on TV, or in a movie, and you can say, "Hey, I remember reading her stupid blog every week, it was the biggest waste of.." Hey! Don't you be hatin' on my blog!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend...whoever you all are...:D
Couldn't find a picture to go along with today's blog, so enjoy this picture of an adorable kitten!

Hello Friends :D I told you I would write a blog about how to use hashtags so here it is! If you have any comments or would like to add leave a comment or e-mail me at clarinetdm12@gmail.com or rejothom@umail.iu.edu Thanks much!

Since this is probably going to be terribly boring, I'm going to turn this adventure into a fairytale! That sounds exciting right? So if you have not closed out of this blog yet, enjoy :D

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, a handsome Prince named Twitter was surfing the web on his magic-space-fantastic-computer-like-thing (I didn't want to say laptop-booring!). So Twitter is very lonely, he doesn't have many friends, and the friends he does have live many galaxies over and they only get to see each other at Summer-Space Camp. Twitter has a Facebook, but he doesn't like writing really long statuses to make a point about something. Prince Twitter thinks about what he can do to change this problem. Finally Twitter has an idea. "I'll make my own social-networking site!" he thought. "But instead of having the ability to write incredibly long statuses, they can only be 140 characters long!" Twitter was soo excited he ran around the Palace-Spaceship Thingy telling everyone and anything that listen. The people didn't seem quite as excited, but the walls would not shut up about it!
Twitter created his website, making sure it had the coolest graphics and tools, things that are way cooler than anything on Facebook (I don't know if Twitter and Facebook have beef with eachother, if they do no, then I am extremely sorry. But if they do...I'm on Facebook's side!). When it came time to name the website, Twitter thought long and hard about a name. It had to be cool and it had to be short. "Hmmmm...how about 'Awesome'? No- 'Non-Facebook'. No. Hmmmm....I know! Twitter!" and so the website was named Twitter.
**************************A Few Years Later-Same Galaxy***************************
Twitter is very rich and has lots of friends. All of his friends 'tweet' really awesome information, and they all learned how to do it within 140 characters! One day Twitter was hanging out with his BFF Hashtag. They were discussing how there was ton of information on Twitter, but no way to organize it. "What if people put a little sign in front of what they're saying, and that symbol has a specific category you can track it by?" asked Hashtag. Twitter shook his head, "No, it should be only one symbol..and it has to look cool, because I'm cool." Hashtag scratched his head. "How about they put a number symbol in front of a word or phrase like 'number sign puppies are cute'?" Twitter nodded, "You know you just might be on to something Hashtag. Hey! We can call it a hashtag!". They both got really excited and started jumping around like 13 year-old girls!
*************************Epilouge-Moral of this here Story****************************
Hashtags are used today by thousands and thousands of people. They are usually inserted at the end of a tweet. They attach a theme to your tweet and can be searched in the Twitter search engine. Hashtags are used to organize different tweets from anyone and everyone, so if you put a hashtag in your tweet and you search the tag and click on it, it should show your tweet and others that used the same tag. If you ever use one make sure the word after the hashtag doesn't have any spaces and it fits inside to 140 characters limit. They are not case sensitive. It is also important to know that Governments do sometimes monitor the different hashtags. Just a little FYI :D

I hope you learned something from this Wednesday-Day of Knowledge!
