OK!!! It's cool if you're here Roger! You can ask questions too.

First things first, You must tell us about your acting. Tell us how you decided that acting was what you wanted to pursue? What has been the best acting gig you've had so far?

(I'm not going to proofread these posts so that this can go faster...)

sorry had a computer freeze!

I knew I wanted to be an actress when I was six!... I love to perform... my first was a tap dance program when I was 4....

I went to school for a Theater/Dance major....

My favorite gig was a Musical I did "Godspell" Is that what you meant by best...

Everyone says how cut-throat the whole LA acting scene is. Have you found this to be true? How have you stayed grounded while working in an industry that promotes and rewards a certain degree of shallowness. How have you not lost yourself?

Or, do you think the general public has the wrong idea of what goes on in LA? Is there a sense of community anoungst actors?

First, as far as the community goes... I think that is a persons responsibility to surround one's self with the quality people who share the same goals... I am lucky because I have a small group of friends I can rely on.

Yes, it does have it's shallowness to it but it is all what you buy into ... you were talking about age and I truly believe as a society we have put so many 'age' limits on ourselves...LA is head of the pack... I find myself getting down sometimes because I am getting older but I try to remind myself not to buy into it. I love Deepak Chopra BTW ... he has a great take on the age thing.

All in all I try to be true to myself but it is challenging in an industry like I am in

What do you think is the best way you express yourself? Is it through your acting or some other medium?

Why? Xenia's asking some great questions. I don't believe in screwing up a good thing. I am interested in learning something new as well...

I have so many venues that I like to express myself ... sometimes I feel if I focused more on one I would excel to an another level... Acting, dancing, I love to make things ... give me power tools!

It's getting better but this year has been a test... I was diagnosed with pre-cervical cancer... It was at a med - low stage but it still screwed with my hormones! Among other things. I had a couple of surgeries & suffered from sever depression to a point of not wanting to be here but I was blessed with my Mom and a few good friends who were there for me. I had a good check up last month and things seem to be getting back to normal... if normal is good:)

That's wonderful!! (That things are getting better, that is. :)) Sometimes extreme health scares really help to put things into perspective.

Ok, next question...

Judging from your photo, you're very beautiful. How has the way you look affected your life? Has it brought you more opportunites (that you are consciously aware of) or caused any minor problems (say jealousy from guys you were dating)?

Can I just say first that we all have adversities (my illness) and the blessing is the strength that we use to over come them ... you are a testament to this, Xenia. You are legally blind but that hasn't stopped you from blind a fabulous writer.

My looks... uumm. Thank you for saying I am beautiful... I would rather be considered beautiful on the inside ... it lasts longer!

This is uncomfortable for me to tell you the truth ... let me think first ... hold on

You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

I have a million other questions we can move on to. :)

Good night Giblets...

In fact, let's move on to the next one and if you feel comfortable later, you can answer the beauty question...

Where does your passion for helping animals stem from?

I consider myself average but I do think I have my good days:)... You are beautiful, Xenia so I think you could put this into words better.

I have only had a couple of jealous boyfriends but I think that is an issue with in themselves ... really nothing to do with me

No..no...Moon. You're beautiful. I'd say I'm "cute". You radiate that essence of beauty (either that or the photographer who took the that b&w was a genius. :))

My photos were self-portraits and I don't think I captured my essence. Of course having a remote shutter release would have HELPED. It sucks to have to push the self-timer then run in front of the camera and compose yourself within 10 seconds...

BY THE WAY...

Roger, our conversation last night inspired me to buy a new (used) camera on eBay today! Thanks, Rog (I think...)

I can talk about animals!... The have such a capacity for unconditional love ... it blows me away. I fight for souls who can't defend themselves... For some reason they find me. One of my cats ... in fact Zelda was thrown out of a moving car right in front of me. She was only a kitten. They threw her like a piece of trash!

I have brought home every animal under the sun home to save since I was 3... according to my Mom.

Very cool about your camera Xen... Amazing how you express yourself

Aren't you bored of me yet?
