"Harmonies for Haiti"
The disaster in Haiti has had me glued to the TV, but I hit a point where watching CNN in my sweatpants and indulging in my third popsicle just wasn't cutting it anymore. Being a young, working actress in Hollywood has granted me many amazing opportunities, so I figured it was time to finally put some bite behind my bark. Just like everyone else, I've texted "Haiti" to 90999 and Twittered about the crisis multiple times, but upon hearing story after story of the horrible atrocities these human beings are struggling to endure, it became clear that I needed to step it up.

Driving in cars with Dad - June 21, 2009
I drive a Mitsubishi Galant. Yep, that's right. A 2003 model with a "pearl glaze" finish. Which means the car is not white, nor any other primary color, but a kind of oatmeal-tan with a blue sparkle. In other words, it always looks dirty no matter how many times I wash it.

Ode to Mom - May 10, 2009
I love water. I especially crave it at midnight. Waking up from a dead sleep with a dry tongue and reaching for a cold glass of agua is complete euphoria. It feels like the whole thing goes down in one gulp.
When I was little, maybe five, I would constantly awaken from my kindergarten dreams with a mouth as dry as dust. I'd slither out of my sweaty comforter and reach for salvation, courtesy of my pink plastic water cup. However, one dark and scary night, I discovered I was grasping at air. No bedside H2O was to be found by my fat little fingers. There was only one way to fix this:
"Mooooooooooommmmm!" -

JONAS - May 2, 2009
Saturday night is the culmination of several years of emotions wrapped up into thirty minutes of high energy entertainment with opening credits.
I've been performing my entire life. I remember being six, wearing roller-blades and putting on a two and a half hour play for my parents by the pool. I'm amazed they didn't drown me.
Mom and dad spent copious amounts of time in the profession before I was even born, so being the offspring of two people who were both enthusiasts of the arts, it's pretty understandable why I got the bug. -

Michael Jackson - April 24, 2009
I never in my wildest dreams thought I would write a blog about you.
I know practically ‘zero’ about Michael Jackson, besides what I've seen on Headline News in the past five years. I've danced to his songs at awkward wedding parties and watched the Jen Garner chick flicks where an entire office in cocktail attire breaks into synchronized "Thriller" choreography. Just last month I was rocking out to "Man in the Mirror" in the JONAS makeup room as the cast and our crew of rambunctious make-up ladies serenaded our reflections with “microphone” curling irons and hair brushes. -

Chicago - April 23, 2009
Chicago is a very cold place. At one point I had hail sticking to my eyelashes, but when you're with people you love -- you don't even notice.
I bought a plane ticket to meet some friends in the windy city. On Saturday night, I closed my eyes, pulled out my credit card and typed in the faded silver numbers until I had a Sunday morning boarding pass with my name on it.
I packed three days worth of clothes and toiletries in my beat up Anthro backpack. All my girly essentials in one small bag....? Huge accomplishment. -

Change is Inevitable - April 9, 2009
“Change is inevitable – except from a vending machine.” ~Robert C. Gallaher
“Change is inevitable.” I hate that quote and I hate vending machines even more. If things are bad, they will change. Okay, I like that. But if things are good, they will change, too. Hold on.
There are so many great moments that I don’t want to say good-bye to. Times where I’m laughing so hard my lungs are burning or my heart is so full of love, I can’t imagine waking up the next morning and knowing that impeccable instant is behind me… floating somewhere in space where I can’t reach it anymore. -

Paris - January 3, 2009
Bonjour!!! I just returned from my first trip to Paris with my best girlfriends and the memories we brought home with us will make us crack up and wish we were eating croissants and Nutella every time they're mentioned.
The plane ride was "sooo looooooong" in Kristy's words, but numb tailbones and cramped legs have already been forgotten. Kristy met a cute French guy on the plane. He offered her an extra blanket that I ended up using after I spilled a full glass of water in my lap. Emilee got her first stamp in her passport which absolutely required a moment of silence. Me, I just wanted to change my pants.
