After the date...

Jade!

Hmm, I will try to keep it coming. I'm hunting for some pics...

I was nervous about letting him know where I lived since I didn't know him too well. A girl has to think about safety. So as the evening waned I volunteered to walk myself home. But when he left that night to help a buddy move some furniture, I think we both kind of wanted to continue the conversation...

This is for you, Jade

The food was tasty. The atmosphere was right. He told me how he wanted to learn how to sing and planned to play in a hockey league for the winter. He stole my heart over Thai peanut sauce.

सुब्वय romance

I was on my way to a baby shower. I was looking cute. Next to me on the bench in the subway was a tall, handsome man. He smiled. I nodded. He said hi. We struck up a conversation. Nothing serious. The A train came. We got on. My stop approached. He handed me his card. I e-mailed him. He e-mailed me back. We went out to dinner-- Asian fusion. Upper West Side. We became facebook friends. Was it love? Maybe. His name was Marco.

थे सिंगल्स वर्ड




So people are always asking me about The Singles Ward, which was a movie I was in a few years back. My first feature film, actually, and SO much fun to do. The truth is, when I saw the character breakdown, there was nothing that was going to stop me from auditioning. I was like, "this is my life. I know these people. I've dated these people. I've been in this ward." (a ward is a congregation of LDS people btw for my friends of other faiths).

I went to the audition, sort of on a lark. Thinking, yeah, I'll go, it's at Hale, and I love that place! And it's summer, and it's sort of a summery carefree thing to do! And I'm a total musical theater geek but I love film! Yes! Good times.

So I went, and the rest is history. I remember sitting on the set and reading the script, and being like, "no way, they're actually going to have a character use the pick-up line, 'so what's your tribe?'" And wondering what on earth my prop friends were going to do with a frog. And laughing uncontrollably in between takes when Dallin was talking about how somebody's roommate was using 'Saturday's Warrior' to prepare her relief society lesson. And being like, 'what could possibly top this.'

I think I know... The Broadway version: 'Singles Ward: The Musical.'

Okay you producers out there, I'm willing to reprise my role. But only if I get an awesome aria about the dangers of Dr. Pepper. Or the joys of twins.
