Annie Wersching...my new favorite person




The season 8 promo shot of Annie Wersching who plays Agent Renee Walker on 24 (or just Renee Walker now as she's no longer an FBI agent.) We are introduced to Renee in season 7 as an FBI agent who pretty much goes by the book until she meets Jack Bauer, who takes her under his wing as they try to save the world. At first hesitant at going against protocol (because we all know Jack is not the kind of guy who does things the way the powers that be want him to do things)and by the end of the season she was a pro.

Renee & Jack strike up a friendship but their relationship SHOULD have gone further but didn't. :( I was rooting for them to kiss but alas my wishes were not granted. Annie & Kiefer (Sutherland) have such amazing chemistry with each other that the moments that their characters (Renee & Jack) have together are just so believable and emotional and as Brennan in the show Bones would say - 'heartcrushing'. Especially in their first encounter in episode 4 of the 4 hour season premiere of this season.

We learn that Renee had a breakdown after last season and has been let go (or she left) the FBI and has gone through some emotional stuff. And by the end of the 4 hour season premiere of season 8 we learn that Renee has become one badass woman! And I am LOVING the new 'dark Renee'. Oh man. Annie Wersching is phenomenal and brings her character so much depth and believablity.

She has become one of the people I absolutely NEED to meet! What.A.Woman!

Ireland. Oh yeah!

So it's a definite...no more hoping and dreaming, it's happening. September 17-25th! Ireland. I am SO excited. Mark and I are going and we're going to have fun. This will be the first time I'm in a different country without family members. I'm most afraid of driving on the opposite side of the road, scary!

Originally we were going to go for 10 days but Mark couldn't take a lot of time out of work. I'm most excited about going to the Cliffs of Moher...they are GORGEOUS. I've heard so many things about how amazing they are and have seen pictures that will take your breath away. Hopefully we don't fall off.

Oh man. I wish it was time to go there!

Ireland

It's happening.
Sept 17-25

Mark and Lindsay in Ireland.

We've never been. And Lindsay's been everywhere (ask her about her time in that Brothel in Harlem).

Where is Lindsay? She's obsessed with Tumblr. And she just doesn't care about her readers. We have readers, right?

If Julie Powell can have readers. Why can't we? What would you like us to write about?

i don't know.

So, like in Mark's post below...I am also a loner. I don't like people much, they can be rather annoying. So I live a solitary life, mainly seeking refuge in TV shows and Movies. Everything is always better in the movies! The romance, the friendships, the jobs.

Sometimes I feel like I want to be in a relationship and get married and have kids. It seems like the normal thing. But I really think about it and I am selfish in I like to do what I want to do when I want to do it. Being in a relationship requires some if not a lot of bending towards what the other wants to do.

And what if I change? If I change myself into being that person everyone wants me to be, and who I would like to be what will happen to my current life? Will I lose the friends I have?

I just have no idea what I want to be or who exactly I am. It saddens me but I don't know how to find out who I am. I have been told numerous times by my brother as we grew up that I was a loser. You know if someone tells you something over and over again, you begin to believe it.

AH LIFE!

A Loner

I was (and am) a loner. I probably always be.

I think I'm way too introspective most of the time.

I probably spend too much time looking back, but I'll be 30 in a few months. Whatever that means. And I remember being 22 and arriving in New York City. I knew nobody, but I had just graduated and I was going to be a writer. It was exciting. I grew up in a small town and went to a small college.

I've had a blessed life (hardships like anyone), so I always feel like such a bad person when I admit that I'm unhappy or stuck. I know every minute is a chance to turn it all around. But making a living as writer hasn't been easy ( I write screenplays ) and even though I have the means to try it all (which makes any complaints infuriating to some I'm sure) it isn't that easy.

Okay, it's not suppose to be. But I bit the bullet. I got a desk job 2.5 years ago. I have health insurance. And I'm unhappy. And I want to just quit (I could), but what would I do next? Maybe I have to quit to figure it out (because who isn't just so tired at the end of a nine hour work day?).

I never saw myself as much. Certainly not as fearless, but I look back at the person I was when I was 22 and I think, maybe I was fearless. I look back at 26, when I could finally say that I was gay and think, maybe I was fearless?

I'm not a slut. I don't want to be (well sometimes). Some say I'm good looking (but many don't). I don't have the social skills or the expectations that you need to be somebody that someone wants. I have gotten better at it all, but I wonder. I wonder if I'm meant to be alone. This makes me sad. I've been alone my whole life.

I fell in love (look at a blog from May to read about that). I'm stronger because of it. It wasn't the traditional kind of love, but was real (more then just infatuation or lust). I think I always knew I had an attraction to this person, but I always thought I was in control of it. It wasn't until I could admit to this person that I was in love with him that I gained some control back. It amazed me how far down the rabbit hole I fell without ever realizing it. I think because I've always been in control. That's one thing I could always say. To climb back out of that hole hasn't always been easy, but I'm getting there.

And my point is? I need a break. I'm tired. I'm tired of wishing. I'm tired of the guilt I feel about my feelings. I'm worried about the possibility of maybe being fearless, and having lost that.

How do I get that back?
