I’ve lived in California for 5 years and never once have I decided to travel to Big Bear. I’m from St. Louis originally and had to grow up dealing with snow every winter- so why in the world would I willingly go where snow is?! Anyway, my bestfriend calls one night and asks what I’m doing the following day- I say nothing and *BAM* I somehow find myself accepting the invitation. (dum dum DUM)

Early in the morning, I dragged my happy butt out of bed to meet up with friends and began our journey to B.B. Once there, Mr. Bright Ideas suggested that I should just jump right into skiing and venture to, what he claims to be, one of the easy routes. ***Side note: I’ve skied one other time and that was in 8th grade. I’m 24 now and have no real recollection of how the hell to ski. With that being said…. lets continue with the story.

So here we are sitting on the lift and it’s going higher and higher and higher and I’m looking around, seeing the once massive trees suddenly becoming tiny and it hits me- perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea. It felt like I was riding this to my death. After about 10 minutes on the lift of doom, we finally reach the top. I stare down below at the steep slope ahead. HELL NO my mind tells me. But everyone is telling me I CAN DO THIS. With weak knees- I take my first ‘step’ out on the slope only to eat it HARD. This happens for about the first quarter of the mountain before I finally throw in the towel. I mean first of all- NO one likes to continuously fall down, it hurts our bodies (and our pride) and second when you have pro skiers and snowboarders zipping and flying around you- you begin to feel a bit like a target. The first thought is GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS and my second was WHY in Jesus’s name did I listen to that clown’s suggestion to ride this slope? He claimed it was easy- I’m sorry Mr. Almost Pro Skier, but easy is the bunny slope. IT doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that.

After telling the group to “go ahead”, I regrouped on these little red benches they have on the slopes for people who need rescuing i.e.) me. I waited for the man with the snow mobile (my knight in shining armor) to scoop me up meanwhile counting my blessings and thinking just how lucky I was to be alive!! With my tail between my legs, pride completely gone, I made my way to the bunny slope…and DOMINATED haha. That’s right there’s no shame. I finally found my niche. I bunny sloped the shit out of that mountain and when I felt my confidence peeking, I made my way to the intermediate slope- only to be introduced to ice hidden under the snow….boy did that fall hurt. But nothing compared to the fear of being thrown into harms way I’ll tell ya that!

SO YAY. I survived Big Bear. If I can do it, so can you (even if it is the bunny slope)

be careful,shining star,of listening too closely to the accolades.be careful of making yourself the focal point of your own attentions.the crowd is fickle and glory fleeting.when the lights go out and the party ends,it will be those people you loved,those people in whom you invested,those people you made feel important,that remain.

Laundry Day....

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:43:02 -0700

….Sucks. I post pon every weekend thinking that it will just do itself. Then I remember, I don’t have a maid. It just keeps building and piling up until when I decide to do it- it takes me a million loads. Yay for procrastination!!

$640 Million

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:39:22 -0700

I bought my very first lotto ticket to participate in the 640 million dollar jack pot…I thought for sure the winning ticket was in my hand and that beginners luck had something to do with it! Boy was I depressed when I found out some woman won in Maryland but my jealousy turned into happiness when I realized that she had to share the pot with two other people. Man, how life changing that would be! What would you do with 640 MILLION dollars? I’ve made a list.

Pay off my student loans which are such a pain in my ass.
Donate money to Women battered shelters.
Donate money to keep after school arts programs alive in the inner cities.
Open up a pet sanctuary on a huge farm for dogs and cats who have been abused or on the ‘put down’ list.
Set up college funds for my brother and sister.
Give money to my mom and dad so they can retire.
Buy an around the world ticket for my close friends and family and travel the world.
Move my grandpa out of Connecticut and move him closer to me so he won’t ever have to spend Christmas, or any day, alone.
Buy a nice house and get myself a pony…because I’ve always wanted one.
Invest, invest, invest for my families future generations.

What would you do with all that money?

Happy Hump Day fellow rejects!

Fingers crossed for feed back on a major role directed by Klaus Menzel. I’ve recently sent in my audition tape, thanks to my awesome agent, and now we play the waiting game. Auditions are easy, quick and fun but the waiting game is the brutal silent killer! Luckily, I’ve got a few more auditions lined up to keep me busy. In the meantime, I’ll be keeping those fingers and toes crossed!

Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I’m not perfect and I don’t live to be. But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.

It’s my last night in New Zealand. I can’t believe that it has been a month and a half already. Time really flies when you’re having fun and relaxing, but alas, all good things must come to an end.

These last few days have been fantastic- Jason and I went on an amazing 6 hour bush walk to see a 400ft water fall in Ananui Falls (pictured at the look out point) we went all the way to the TOP of that water fall, more pictures to come! *what a rush*

Meanwhile, I have a new found love of boogie boarding and yesterday I decided to try boarding with trendy flippers because “that’s how the pros do it.” We locate pretty nice waves a little further from the main beach and we prepare to get right on in. Less than half way out, about hip deep, we spot a SHARK. I’ve never run so fast in my life!!! Luckily, both of my legs are still intact….but my ‘new found love’ for boogie boarding may just turn into me laying out on the beach and maybe putting my foot in the water!

Earlier today, I went to Rotorua to ride the fun filled Luge which is a 3 wheeled, gravity defying, cart. The first time around, I went really slow. The second time a little faster. The third time even faster than that and the fourth time I almost KO-ed into a wall and was close to absolutely wasting my foot. I recovered from my near collision with the wall and finished the ride. Walked away with nothing is bruised and broken…well maybe just my pride. Tonight I had a spa with lots of New Zealand wine and a fantastic dinner followed by charades and cranium. Relaxing all the way to the sweet end.

Not a bad way to end an amazing trip down under! My flight isn’t until the evening, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow. Hopefully the day will bring sunny weather!

“I have often wondered what kind of a person I would be today if I did not have these enormous guilts - if everything had gone easily and I had not made such horrific mistakes. I think I would have been the most awful, pontifical goody two shoes. I was really so smug, so sweet, so good, so spoiled - so intolerant of anybody else’s downfall. But tragedy, mistakes, and shame for your mistakes cannot leave you untouched. All the superficial things that one gave so much value to before - money, luxury, indulging in whims - calamity makes them seem so incidental. I swear to God I’d be just happy living with Richard and the kids in a shack. And I treat the happiness I have now with great respect, great appreciation because I know how fragile and precarious it is - how easily it can go”
