Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.  Up until now, I had been striving diligently in my pursuit to become a working actor, and now that that has become a reality, I want to pinch myself each and every day. Deep into my core, I knew that dedication would pay off (although some days took extra effort to remind myself), but couldn’t have imagined a year like this! What a reward this has been. I feel privileged to be a part of this show. And without our fans, we wouldn’t have the luxury of coming back to work, and again say, “Yes, I am a working actor.” It feels so good. Tonight’s episode is a combination of overwhelming emotions on the screen and off. I remember our last day, and feeling at peace. I knew that if we didn’t return, we would still have thirteen charmed episodes, and that nobody could take away the joy that I felt while making them. Blood, sweat and tears. It’s all there in this one show. We love it so. We love it so.</p> </blockquote> <p>This show means a lot to me. It makes me believe in music again, and doing what you love. And also Matt Morrison. and angels.</p>http://asakite.tumblr.com/post/276932250http://asakite.tumblr.com/post/276932250Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:36:50 -0500glee<p>1. finish website<br/>2. have epic birthday party<br/>3. relax in my papasan chair each night<br/>4. write about this past year and create resolutions for 2010.</p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4830567185468057099-3398085923249577472?l=alliemullin.blogspot.com" alt=""/></div>http://asakite.tumblr.com/post/275654972http://asakite.tumblr.com/post/275654972Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:47:42 -0500Reporter: George, what do you miss most about John Lennon?<br /> George: John Lennon.http://asakite.tumblr.com/post/275603009http://asakite.tumblr.com/post/275603009Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:08:50 -0500pop culturebeatles“You’re only as tall as your heart will let you be.

I would then go write under it in black marker (WITH GUNS).</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.</li> <li>If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.</li> <li>* Not all liberals are members of Peta, and there’s no such thing as a vegetarian who is a conservative.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.</li> <li>A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully, and still look good.</li> <li>* A conservative looks to borrow money from China to bomb a country to get cheaper oil, which actually increases the price of oil. A liberal will try to make a vehicle that runs on vegetable oil.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.</li> <li>If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.</li> <li>* Real americans support equality regardless of race, sex, sexual preference, creed, or religion. Conservatives are fascists, who call everyone else fascists. This man is a life long republican, and a real american: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrEbJBFWIPk </li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.</li> <li>Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.</li> <li>* If a conservative person sees civil liberties protected, they claim it’s “too much government” and choose to let liberty be destroyed. If a liberal sees civil liberties being destroyed, they fight for them, hence the root LIBERAL coming from the word LIBERTY. (Otherwise we’d call it the “statue of who gives a fuck”)</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.</li> <li>A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.</li> <li>* If a liberal is on a boat and sees someone drowning, they reach for a life vest and throw it to them. If  a conservative sees someone drowning, they open “Atlas Shrugged” and say, “It’s not my problem, I bought that life vest with my own money. They weren’t cheap”. And let the person die.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.</li> <li>Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.</li> <li>* If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, they claim that talk show host is organizing a cult that supports satan, and is corrupting their children. If a liberal doesn’t like a talk show host, it’s probably because they’re overweight, racist, and spreading lies.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.</li> <li>A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it’s a foreign religion, of course!)</li> <li>* If a conservative is religious, their beliefs are taken into courts, and campaigns. If a liberal is religious, it’s not as important as the separation of church and state. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.</li> <li>A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.</li> <li>* A conservative has no problem bombing, killing, and harassing an entire country of people who live overseas, and paying trillions of dollars to do that, but won’t spend a fraction of that amount to help someone in their own country, even if in the long run, it helps them too. A liberal will find a way to give you a public option or a private option in health care, and change a system that is about to fail, and then take shit from conservatives who are getting paid by insurance companies to lie about the truth.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.</li> <li>If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he’s in labor, and then sues.</li> <li>* If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he’s in a Wal Mart. If a liberal slips and falls in a store, he’s in a starbucks. Only a conservative would write some bullshit about how liberals would be the only one to sue someone for it. Any dumb asshole can do that.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>If a conservative reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.</li> <li>A liberal will delete it because he’s “offended”.</li> <li>*Not this liberal, I annotated it, and made it actually funny.
