Volunteering in the ER: a “love/hate” situation
People always ask:
HOW can you stand to work in the ER!?
It’s weird, but now that I’ve done it for awhile, I’m sorta used to it. Some shifts are scarier than others. Or more frustrating — or sad. But every once in awhile, I’ll finish one that actually feels AWESOME!
Do I love it? Well sometimes I feel good about it.
Do I hate it? Oh yeah! Big time.
Am I glad I do it? Being forced into it wasn’t the best intro —
but am I proud I do it? Read the rest of this entry »
Best Part About Living in L.A. (part 2)
L.A. is the land of hopes, dreams and crazy schemes.
It’s where Old Hollywood loves new perspectives — ideas are born, careers are created and legends live on.
Romance = Unexpected Connections
An unexpected connection is the best kind of all. Especially when it’s an unexpected connection with someone you’ve wanted to connect with, but wondered if you ever would. An ordinary night becomes extraordinary. A smile means oh so much more. And you realize when you’re following through with something you need to do, (sometimes) your own needs are surprisingly fulfilled too. Uh huh uh huh.
Don’t want to get into details ‘cuz like with an audition if you talk too much about it before it’s really a sure thing, it can go… POOF! Read the rest of this entry »

Has Texting Replaced Talking?
Today’s #findthefunnymonday question asks — What’s the deal with GUYS and TEXTING?
It seems like constant texting gives guys the sense that they’re with us, without actually having to put in the time. Anyone else noticing this? OMG! I’m sure “Texting” was invented by a GUY. Right?
Texting = Communicating?
Do we truly connect when we text? Depends. Getting to say what you want to say in as few words as possible and then being done with it is a Guy’s DREAM. Obvi. But Women need more. Much more.

Life: not according to plan

- It doesn’t go in a straight line
- It’s not according to plan (not mine anyway)
- When you think something’s gonna happen it doesn’t
- And when you least expect it to, it does
Life disappoints, surprises & warms our hearts.
It’s about —
- brushing off the bad
- laughing at the irony and

Finding our Way (with a little help from our friends)
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDOCY52H8VE
Ive noticed that I spend a lot of my volunteer shift just helping people who are lost find their way out of the hospital.
Our ER is in the East Tower but on Sunday nights theres only one Information Desk open and its in the West Tower, so the hospital tries to get everyone whos entering and leaving the hospital to do it in the west. So in the east, they dim the lights and block the exits, but all that means is — people are walking around totally disoriented in the dark. (OMG! I so know how they feel.)
