It's Humpday!!!

Oh my gosh! It's Wednesday, and I haven't posted this week? Whassup with that? Well, honestly, I forgot =P {{I'm so embarrassed}} But, look on the bright side of life. I'm posting now! Aren't you happy that you get some Ana today? ...If this is inconvienient, I'm so sorry. I know you set apart time specifically to read my posts every Monday ;) Get over it.

Last week, I asked you guys to ask me some questions about life so I could have something to write about. I got two really difficult questions to answer....

#1: "If you could meet any celebrity...other than you-know-who...who would it be and why and what questions would you ask them?"

Okay, the answer to this questions really depends on who you mean by "you-know-who". I'm assuming it's either Joseph Gordon-Levitt or David Tennant.  I'm not entirely sure I would really like to meet either of those guys. They are grand actors, to be sure, but I don't agree with some of the things they stand for. So, now that we've got that out of the way, who would I want to meet? Hmmm.... I have been thinking about this all week, really. I even made a list of my favorite actors. And I am aware that "celebrity" doesn't just pertain to actors, but that's my thinking process. For a long time, I couldn't decide between a compilation of 42 actors who I adore. That number turned into 41 when I remembered that Heath Ledger had died (a very, very sad fact I might add). I began to narrow the list down by asking myself, "would I want to spend the whole day with this person?" --this ruled out three people (Matt Bomer [because it would be odd to spend the day with a gorgeous gay man :/], Nicole Kidman [she's just too perfect. I think I would die.], and Cate Blanchett [I would feel like I was with the Queen, really. I would just not be able to speak.].)

As you can tell, it took me a very long time to narrow my list to just one person. In the end, it was a contest between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone (you can't break those two up. It would be wrong.), Arthur Darvill, Aaron Tviet, and Samantha Barks. I then decided that I wouldn't want to be an awkward third wheel with Emma and Andrew, so I crossed them out. I then noticed that my last three were all amazing Broadway singers. Arthur Darvill now starring in my favorite musical, Once, Samantha Barks as Eponine in both the stage and film version of Les Miserables, and Aaron Tveit, well, Aaron was in a lot of musicals (Next to Normal, Wicked, Catch Me if You Can) as well as playing Enjolras in Les Miserables (plus he's not bad looking ;]).

Dumbfounded, I stared at my dwindling list...then I decided. Aaron. Haha! There is logic behind this, I promise! Looking at Aaron's acting history, he started really small. He grew up around theatre, like me, and took it from there. He went to college for voice performance, but then decided to go back into musical theatre. He just took it step by step, without flaunting his talents like other actors might have done, until he was pretty well known in gerneral showbiz.

 I would like to meet Aaron Tveit because he's a really genuine and humble guy. Once he said, "Awards are not something that I measure my work by. I've been so fortunate, and I've gotten to do such terrific things, that it seems petty to look back and say, 'Oh, I should have gotten that prize.' I've been so blessed, it's hard to look back and think anything but that, so I have no disappointments."

I would probably ask him how much patience it took to get 'to the top', so to speak. I've been wanting to get into television for a while, but I just see an overwhelming mass of things I would have to go through to get there. It seems like he got there without trying too hard. :)

{{I'm going to answer the other question I got next week. If you have anything else you want me to write about, let me know!}}
