Posted: 4/3/06 at 8:33pm

For what it's worth, I just posted a few videos on myspace. There's really nothing too exciting up yet, but the clip I like best is this one of me on the show "Win Ben Stein's Money" a few years ago.

(I post this solely for the benefit of those who've asked me, "Do you have that on video? I'd love see that!" To those who care not one whit, I apologize for taking up board space.)

Check it out if you're bored!

EDITED TO ADD: OK, so I now have 4 videos up under my own MySpace, and 3 on Velvet Chain's MySpace. (One of them's an overlap.) Copy and paste the URL's below if you want to check them out.

Could you be any skinnier?!

Erika, that was GREAT.

Hee! Thanks, caitiesus1522!

Kitzy: Well, I'm not that skinny anymore. I weigh at least 5 pounds more now. :-P

That was very amusing, Erika. I enjoyed it!

Thanks, DramaDork! =) It was a really fun experience. Kind of thrilling, you know?

The comments you got and the way you look kinda reminded me of well, me, as I am now. We have similar features.

I can only wish I'll be as successful as you .

Ben Stein graduated from my high school. What a claim to fame, huh? Well, we also got Goldie Hawn, I guess it's not so bad.

musical_nerd: Oh, that's very sweet! (And I look just about the same now, I just have bangs and weigh about 120 instead of 115.) I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors!

Atrias: hehehe... Well, we didn't have any super famous folks come out of my high school. But Meryl Streep went to my college. And a bunch of other folks did too, but when I went there, the Drama dept. was still full of the same (extremely old) profs who had taught her, so we heard about her ALL. THE. TIME. :-P

Thanks, Akiva! I know, I really liked that show, too. I was bummed when it got cancelled.

Thanks for sharing. That was fun to watch! I forgot how great that show was!

And to add to the "famous people from your high school" topic...I only have Jonathan Frakes...Captain Riker from Star Trek and Dan Robuck--I can't remember what all he was in...but his Aunt is still in charge of the ushers at the playhouse where I've done shows. Both of them are older than I, but they are my HS's claim to fame.....of course, the other HS in town is where "The Rock" went to HS.

I actually have a faint memory of that show, too. I was pretty young- but I DO remember watching it. I liked it. That whole video really jogged my memory.

Lordy, it only went off the air a few years ago. I shot that episode in 2001... Way to make me feel old! lol

Really? Did it move to cable? I don't have cable.

Because I remember watching it when I was little, 2001 I wouldn't have been all that young.

Hey do you have it in a form other than FlashPlayer? I'm *really* not in the mood to download a new media player right now.

[Broadway_Baby]

Posted: 4/3/06 at 9:41pm

I can't get it to work! It said I needed to update my flash player (so I did), but it won't play.

[erikaamato]

Posted: 4/3/06 at 9:50pm

Weird, guys... It's just the MySpace player. I uploaded various types of video (realplayer files, Quicktime files, random video from a digital camera), and I guess MySpace converts it to its own format. Sorry if it's not working...

Let me see if I can find another link for you...

One of the creator's of Family Guy went to my high school which I think is cool... oh and Jojo almost did. Woot?

OK, try this link... (It's a RealPlayer clip...)

Wow, you're smart! Do you have to train for that kind of stuff?

[Broadway_Baby]

Posted: 4/3/06 at 10:34pm

Aw honey, you're adorable!!

(And I loved your "victory dance"!)

threadjack on famous people went to my high school, Mic Todd (coheed and cambria)

Atrias: Aw, thanks. I guess some people do train, but I just did it as a lark. I really didn't expect to win. I just have a good memory, you know?

Broadway_Baby: Hee! Totally spontaneous. I'm a silly girl.
