Any jobs out there?

So I just had a fun filled week for job hunting. I had two interviews and no such luck. In a perfect world, I would work three nights a week serving, making decent cash and auditioning at least 3 times a week. My agent hasn't been very responsive to me coming in and seeing her. The last time I saw her was before Christmas break...YEAH! I have been trying forever to see her but no such luck. I haven't gotten many auditions lately either. Getting a little on edge. I'm trying to do as much as I can lately with making videos and putting them on youtube. Check out one video I did with my podcast group: wtfij
I'm 22 and no such luck in my field. Turns out stress as well as time isn't on my side. Being a 22 year-old actress in Hollywood is like being middle aged in "normal" land. I'm at my prime and have gotten nowhere. Honestly, I'm not too sure how much I'll like Hollywood if I ever do make it. I think I would just want to be one of those actors you always see in a bunch of films but never know who they are. If I could actually make a living as an actor for the rest of my life I would be the luckiest bitch ever.
I've been in a temporary band recently. I joined "League of Rock" (it's a cool organization for people that have day jobs but have always wanted to be in a rock band go. They get put into bands, rehearse for a few weeks and perform a few live shows and get recording time in a studio to record one of their songs. You should check it out, it's awesome!)
Anywho, my band (King James and Big Blues) are performing at Rock and Roll Heaven this Wed and it's the last time we'll be playing. It's kind of sad. I've never been in a band before and it was pretty intimidating being with such amazing musicians. I've only played drums with my dad (who's a drummer) and his jam buddies. I've been playing drums my whole life but just for shits and giggles. We just finished recording an original song our singer wrote (who is awesome) and it's not too band considering it was the first time we really played together as a whole band... yeah there was some drama but what's rock and roll without the drama?
So that's what I've been up to lately. A whole lot of nothing. I'm one of those people that thrives on being busy. I really love that feeling of having to be somewhere all the time. Sure, it's nice chilling at home now and then but after a while it starts to depress me. I've been sick lately so I'm just trying to stay relaxed so I don't go nuts. Stress makes me sick and being sick only slows me down and makes me feel icky.
I'm trying to exercise and eat better...the key word is "trying". I wouldn't mind the working out part, if I wasn't so poorly out of shape. I went jogging a few days ago and took about five flights of stairs up to my apartment and felt like my heart was going to explode! I think, if you're in good shape you can do more, you'll feel less like a chump. When I was a kid, I took tae kwon do for four years and almost made it to black belt but lost interest. I wish I had the same flexibility and awesomeness I had then. Now I'm just one of those beginner joggers that you can hear gasping for air ten feet behind you. I'm just waiting for that day where I can zoom by people and point and laugh at them as I pass by yelling, "later suckers!!! BAHAHAHAHAH" maybe not like that exactly... but you get my drift. I want to be in awesome shape so whenever I feel like climbing buildings or punching someone in the face, I can! It'll be so awesome... I'm also taking a stab at yoga. I tried it once and wanted to rip off my leg and beat the creepy instructor in the video with it. It's been some time and I do need to relax more and get some flexibility and whatever the benefits yoga does...
Here it goes!! I'm trying to get closer to the dream!! Watch out!!
