Because kissing ass doesn't work anymore.
#I woke up today to this PM:
"If you're receiving this message, I regret to say that you did not pass the auditions for Generation 5 of Hana Project.
It was a very difficult decision in the end, and even more than with Round 1 we had to nitpick like crazy to come up with our final nine Gen 5 members. Some of you getting this PM are absolutely fantastic vocalists, and I don't want you to think for a second that we didn't choose you because we don't recognize your vocal ability. When I said that the auditions are 10% vocals and 90% everything else, it was truer than ever this time around. We had to narrow it down in the end to the girls who we felt this time fit the best with us in all respects.
It was very close and I sincerely hope that all of you will audition next time around. You made a huge accomplishment getting to Round 2 in the first place, and if you got there, we feel very strongly about your voice already.
Feel free to hang around the forums for as long as you like. Coming to know all of you has been awesome and we'd hate to lose touch.
Good luck to everyone for next time, and thank you for auditioning!

I didn't get into HanaProject. Which means I pretty much just wasted two months kissing ass. Yes, I was kissing ass. I didn't say ANYTHING negative to the leader. Every dub was commented with "omg this is awesome! so good desu!" even though, for the most part, I heard lots of flaws in everything. And I'm a bitch. Trust me, it pains me to be completely nice 100% of the time for 2 whole months.
I was probably put through to the second round to avoid drama, in fact. I know for a fact that there was another auditioner that was put through to avoid drama, so I could see that happening with me too. But if that was the case, why bother? If they didn't want me, then they shouldn't have let me in to round 2. I could have not done an interview and not done lines, then.
You know what's fucked up? HALF of the people in round 2 got in. Yup. 9 people. The difference between me and the other people who didn't get in? THEY DIDN'T WASTE TWO FUCKING MONTHS KISSING ASS.
I want to know why I didn't get in, but I'm not going to ask. Considering I got past the first round, it was either the fact that they didn't like my voice, or they didn't like my interview. I'm pretty sure I answered the interview questions 'correctly', or as correctly as I could have. Apparently my personality wasn't 'up to snuff' enough for them, so.
I dunno. I guess I'm just butthurt because I was confident I'd get let in. This is just another disappointment. I didn't get the job, I didn't get the part in HanaProject, etc. Life is pretty much disappointment after disappointment for me; I should just start getting used to it.
In other news, a completely random blogger reviewed a few of my dubs: MY BOY and Pira! Otome no Negai. Pretty strange. She was nice, but it's not enough to make me feel better.
