Title: I FINALLY did it!


LexiGrey - March 27, 2007 09:40 AM (GMT)
Okay how many of you remember that long dramatic piece I wrote and posted in the My Favorite Mistake thread? To refresh your memory...

I daydream a lot. A LOT. Its what gets me through the moments in my life that normally I couldn't. A former friend used to always call me "beautiful dreamer." There is one thing that I ALWAYS daydream about and it never fails to make me smile, it never fails to uplift me and go ahead make fun of it but it's almost always the same.

I'm sitting in the read through room. The read through room for Grey's Anatomy. I just got cast on Grey's Anatomy and I'm nervous as hell as I'm sitting there talking to Shonda Rimes (OH MY GOD *THE* Shonda! My hero, oh how I love that woman!) We're waiting for the rest of the cast and she tells me to go ahead and sit down. The other writers are babbling and I keep telling myself to breathe, or not to wake up because it feels like a dream. In walks Katherine Heigl and I feel like I'm going to explode. THE Katherine Heigl who I have utterly adored since I was eleven years old! She gives Shonda a hug and talks about how much she loves the script, Shonda calls her Katie and they talk and talk and I'm in awe. Total awe because Katherine Heigl is standing right before me. AND SHE'S REAL. Shonda turns to me and says 'Kate this is Sara Anne, she's our newest character." and Katherine Heigl looks at me with the widest smile and says 'Hi Sara, I'm Katherine but please call me Katie." I can hardly keep still, ITS KATHERINE HEIGL. OH MY GOD. She talks to me and I'm so afraid my mouth is going to hang open that I lean on my hand to make sure it doesn't. She makes me stand up because she says I look tall too and squeals with delight that we're the same height. She's bubbly and fun and squeals with delight when TR Knight walks in. ITS GEORGE O'MALLEY. And close behind him is ERIC DANE. THE MCSTEAMY and in person...wow, he's even more beautiful than one would think. They so warm, and receptive to me. Eric sits across from me while Katherine and TR are to my left. Sara Ramirez walks in talking to Chandra Wilson and I have to take a sip of my coffee before I scream out my love for them. Sara Ramirez takes a seat and introduces herself before Shonda can. "My names spelled the same way as yours." I squeak out and home I dont sound like a dork. "Another Sara!" She smiles saying Sara "Sa-da" with a perfect accent. I'm sitting in between Sara Ramirez and Katherine Heigl and I'm probably pale as a ghost I'm in so much shock.

Patrick Dempsey walks in with Ellen Pompeo, they are cute, somewhat flirtacious and Ellen has a darling laugh. Its cute and its contagious. Then oh man, Kate Walsh comes in. KATE WALSH (and at this time I'm glad the spin off didn't work out so that I could work with her ;D) her hair is a vibrant red and she's got a smile to rival the ages. Isaiah Washington speeds in and takes off his hat and sunglasses. "Nice day," he smiles, everyone else agrees and the cast is rounded up by Sandra Oh who comes in cracking jokes and the Chief himself, James Pickens,Jr. I'm half tempted to ask Sara Ramirez to sing but bite my tongue.

ALL RIGHT. Shonda declares and makes me stand up, she inrtoduces me and the eyes of the people I love, adore and repesct so much are for once watching me. The roles have reversed, my idols look at me with welcoming eyes and warm smiles.

Writing this entry made me cry. More than anything in this world I'd love to be there. To be on this "stupid show" as people who dont understand my obsession call it. To be there and to make my dreams come true. I gave it all up for him, doesn't he see it? I was set up with a list of agents and agencies that would have taken me in a heartbeat. I can act, Im not conceited but I know I have skills and I should be able to use them! But no, I left it all behind, the dreams were bottled up and put away so that I could let my husband live out his dreams.

I'd kill just to meet them. For months I've been writing Shonda a letter. MONTHS, but what do you say? What do you do? I don't want it just to be a fan letter, I want her to know just how much I love this "stupid show" how I see myself in Izzie and Meredith. How I bake when I'm emotionally charged and how the bathroom floor has always been my "spot" my solace. How I begged a man to make it work like Meredith and Meredith's relationship with her father, broken like mine with my Dad. I see myself in ALL of them. This "stupid show" has helped me cope with so much. Its my escape. When things get tough when I feel like breaking down I can watch Grey's and feel like I can go on, like I'm not a loser, or a horrid mother or a nobody. I want her to know it. Someone told me I should actually contact Ellen Degeneres or Oprah or something and tell them my sob story but its hard. Its something I want so bad, something I dream about but how do you explain it to a talk show host or something? How do you tell them that Grey's Anatomy makes you feel like life really is worth living without sounding like a complete whackjob?

I can't help but feel like there's something waiting for me out there. Like there's that something more. I feel like something is missing in my life, and if I'm a loser because Grey's Anatomy makes me cope, if I'm stupid, or immature...then I'm a loser, I'm stupid, I'm immature. Because I love this damn show so much. Yes, it's "just a television show" to just about everyone else, but to me it's more. It's my prozac. It's my drug.

I want so badly to at least meet the cast of Grey's or hell be dead patient number 7 on the show...

I want it...

sooo...soooo badly.


All I need is a bitter song to make me better. Much better.
All I need to write is a bitter song to make me better. Much better.

It found me to hold me, but I don't like it at all.
Won't feed it, won't grow it, it's folded in my stomach.

It's not fair, I found love.
It made me say that.
Get Back you'll never see daylight, If I'm not strong it just might.

All I need is a bitter song, to make me better. Much better.
All I need to write is a bitter song to make me better.
I feel better, I feel better.


It's thursday. Its thursday and the whole world seems to stop on thursdays and maybe, just maybe I'll be alright, even if in the end all I've got is my boys and my "stupid show". I love thursdays, because for an hour at 9 o'clock. I can get away from it all and be an intern at Seattle Grace.


Well, basically everyone I know keeps telling me to send my letter to Shonda and to write into Oprah, Ellen, etc.

Well tonight I happened upon the Oprah site and right now they are taking submissions for a 'dreams come true show' and well, I submitted my entry. I FINALLY did it. And its funny cuz I didn't go on the Oprah site for that reason, I went on to find out when that special where she went on the setw as on cuz I missed it and I saw something about 'what is your dream?" RIGHT THERE. I was like OMG...IT'S A FREAKING SIGN. The entire Grey's cast is sitting there talking to Oprah and on the same page it says what is your dream? That was it, my heart stopped beating I swear as I typed up my entry and clicked submit.

I believe that if you want something bad enough, you will get it. I have never wanted anything so badly in my life as this and I keep getting all these weird signs and so on, its crazy and it's something that wouldn't happen easily but I keep feeling like it is, and by submitting my entry and then also writing a letter to Shonda I am one step closer to my dream.
