'Send Me On My Way"

"Hope is a waking dream."

-Aristotle

Hello, world.
My name is Jen. No more, no less.
I wear Converse on my feet, am a first year sophomore in college and really don't like the color orange.
I'm single, not ashamed of it. My iPod is my source for instant sanity. I have a fish named Foreman.

Why do I mention all of this now?
Because today I write from the perspective that I know tomorrow is going to change my life. Tomorrow I'm going on a very important road trip. Tomorrow sets my path in terms of my career. It's an opportunity that I would have never taken if things in my life didn't align to the way they've aligned now.
Within the next 24 hours, I will be on the road to Dallas for the biggest audition I'm going to thus far. I'm auditioning for a role on Glee with my friends Victor and Sonia.
Am I nervous? Yes. Am I ready? Definitely. Am I scared? Doubtful? Determined? Yes, Yes and Oh, hell yeah. I'm not sure at all what to expect. I know this much. After everything I've been through, it all comes down to this.
All my stolen moments in my closet writing lyrics at 3 AM, all my hours listening to my iPod trying to forget the day, every single last tweet from those trying to bring me down, all my rehearsals, wishes, and deep convicitons about life... it all leads down to what I make it and will always serve as a reminder of how much I love what I'm doing. Even if I don't get the role, just knowing I have the guts to chase after something even when everyone told me otherwise will be its own personal form of satisfaction.
My bags are packed.
My iPod's all set.
My nerves have transformed themselves into massive butterflies.
There's a storm coming... and for once it's my own.
You can't silence my love.... ♥

"I've been watching the skies.

 They've been turning blood red.

 Not a doubt in my mind anymore.

There's a storm up ahead...

Hello hurricane. You're not enough.

Hello Hurricane. You can't silence my love.

I've got doors and window boarded up.

All your dead end fury's not enough.

You can't silence my love."
