Seana,

I'm more than glad to take the time to drop by the forum and leave an update. To be honest, some of it is 'shameless self promotion' on my part... this is set out to be a big opportunity for me to push my artwork (photography, illustration, writing etc) and also just to get my name out there. I'm not interested in (nor ever have been) in being an actor but there are things in my life that i hope to accomplish that i think the show may help me with.

Also, i think that after spending a lot of time reading blogs and forums from people like you (the ones that WATCH these shows), there is something to be said for MY experience. I feel responsible to share MY side of things because even now, i sit here and wonder what it is that NBC will do with the time that i spent on the show. how will it come out in post-editing? how will they make me look? will they expose my secrets? will they make things up about me? i don't know. i have NO idea what even -i- am going to see when the show airs... but i have my memories. i have MY experience and it's probably going to be very different from the hour-long episodes that they show on tv.

so. yes. this is a place for me to share with you my thoughts on things. so again. more than happy to stop by.

i'm hoping that i'll have an 'official' website up sometime soon where i can display some of my artwork and a blog but for right now, you can check out lumpstuff.com for my illustration work or my blog if you want to know what's going on in my life (not updated as often as it used to be).

so. yes. i'll be back. i'm sure when the show airs, you'll find me here every so often dropping in to see what people are saying and to leave some thoughts of my own.

help spread the word. tell everyone you know about the show and if you want to help me out... send 'em links to my site/blog etc.

thanks again.

and p.s. to be honest... when i was cast for the show... i'd never seen ANY of the previous seasons. i'd read about a few of them online but that's it... and i can honestly say... i've STILL never seen any of them.

hehe.

ciao!
