As of right now I am sitting in a hotel room in Sidell, Louisiana. I arrived yesterday afternoon and woke up at 3:45 this morning to get my spot in line at the X Factor registration. We were able to get there at about 5:40 a.m. and surprisingly I was VERY close to the front! While we waited in line someone got the bright idea to give some 55 year old man a guitar and so he began to sing his original songs that were not.. family friendly.. Amongst all the people hollering at him and begging him to shut up about 3 small huddles formed around our side of the line where someone decided to share their talents in the middle of each one. When the person stopped around me it got a little quiet and all of a sudden my big mouth opens and starts belting "Boondocks" by Little Big Town. After I realized what I was doing the only thing going through my mind was "crap. Now everyones looking at me, what did you get yourself into". When I finished I looked around and saw that not only were the people in the huddle I was by hooping, hollering, and applauding me, but a lot of people from the other huddles were too. A huge smile swept across my face. At about 8:30 they let the first group go to the registration tables and luckily I was part of that group! My parents and I both thought that we would be spending our entire day there today but we were able to get our wristbands and tickets and everything taken care of by 9:09! We're all excited for the audition day on Sunday, although we aren't positive that I'll be getting through that round, we're glad to be here for the experience.
