Clementine’s drawing by Piper

This is for a good friend of mine, Alex.

We're buddies so sometimes I call her Piper too, that's her nickname.

She's a big fan of actress Piper Perabo.

The same as I am of actresses of The L Word: Kate Moennig, Clementine Ford and Leisha Hailey.

(The L Word is the best show in television ever!)

And also I'm fan of Sarah Shahi. (She was in Seasons 2 & 3 and now is amazing in her role of Dani Reese in NBC's show, Life)

Alex and I meet a few years ago in a The Corrs irish band forum. We have a similar personality and we get along really well.

We never meet in person, but someday we will do! I hope so.

She is such a great and talented person, she's an awesome drawer and musician too.

Although she says is not, don't believe her. Because she lies!
(I'm just kidding, my friend).

Well, the thing is that a few months ago I asked her to make a drawing of one of my favourite actresses, Clementine Ford.

Totally worth the wait!!

The Corrs - At Your Side

When the daylight's gone and you're on your own
And you need a friend just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through, I will understand

And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

If life's standing still and your soul's confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes (make mistakes)
You can't let me down (let me down)
I will still believe (still believe)
I will turn around

And you know that

I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side
You know that

Thanks you so much for everything.

You're really amazing, girl!

Oh my darling, Clementine...

¿Is it possible that will be a person that inspires you and touch so deeply and means a lot to you although you have never meet her in person? Yes – this is the case.

This person who I admire so much said once: It's important to get things out if you have it inside of you.

I never had the courage to just say what needs to be said, it always had been very difficult for me to express my feelings, fears, insecurities or thoughts with people. I don't know, maybe, because I have had a very hard life since the day was born.

For me to be 'different' it made me be too shy, I never let people to know me deeply because in this way people couldn't hurt me. And I always have been worried about what people will think about me.

But having these all feelings inside me also hurts. It hurts a lot. So, slowly, very slowly I opening my heart and let people know me... deeply.

Today I turn 24 years old.

Well nobody expect that I'm going to turn this age, well said... if I would survive in first place because of what happened the day I was born and everything I have been through in my life, but I'm still alive. I'm not going to bored you with that, and besides all of this make me sad and today I'm happy. So if you like to read it, the story of my life is written in the other entry of my blog, you'll understand why I said all of this.

I want to share with you a story.

There is one person far away from here that inspire me too much and she always does. She can't never imagined how much means to me and the much she inspire me and touch me. And I know that definitively right now she is inspiring me to write this.

The story with her started a few years ago, in 2004. A friend of mine recommended earnestly watch an independent film that starred not A-list actors, but the children or relatives of famous people. The movie was called Last Goodbye. So I purchased the DVD and I have to say I love the movie is one of my favourites.

It introduced me to a whole new generation of actors. Specially one such actress captivated me, she was called Clementine Ford. I don't know why, but something about her intrigued me and I wanted to know more. I looked for information on the Internet, and I discovered she was Cybill Sheperd's daughter. ¡What a surprise! I remember I used to watch Moonlighting when I was kid.

I have been her fan, almost the beginning of her career. Then years passed and what a great surprise when I known that she was going to play the role of Molly in my favourite TV show, The L Word.

With this role she definitively captivated me.... again, like she have done a few years ago, and in this time much more me!.

Surfing on the Internet I discovered that she had MySpace. It took some time for me to summon the courage to send a friend request, just thinking that she could be read my comment made my nervous, and she still does, I have to admit. Well, but I finally did it and I am so glad I did. It really means a lot to me that she added me as a friend and give me the chance to know her better.

Reading her blog, I realize that she is simple down-to-earth-person, she really inspires me with everything she does. She is so splendid and charming too.

When she shares her thoughts, feelings and experiences with 'us' and I'm reading what she writes I come away with this incredible sense of familiarity that remind me that she are just like the rest of us, so 'normal', so nice and cool, in spite of she's in an actress. She is so close that anybody else and I really appreciated that. I'm so proud of how she is and to be her fan.

I love the fact of how she wants to connect to her fans because not a lot of celebrities want to do that or take time to be in touch with them. That makes me adore and admire her even more.

Clementine, thanks to you and I'm not hiding anything from anyone anymore. You give me the courage to give the step to get things out there, because that is really matters, right?

I want to thank you for everything you've done for me, whether directly or indirectly. Because that means a world to me.

Last but not least, as you said recently:

"Change happens when you open yourself up and march forward fearlessly. Let your voice be heard!"

I'll never forgive that.

Thank you for everything. I'll be always there supporting you. Keep being the special person as you already are.

I wanted to say how much you meant to me and now I have done. I wish you all the best in the world!

Be happy, stay well and cool, dear Clem!

Luv you!

- Mary

Life is so precious

Mood: Melancholy

The last time I wrote about my thoughts and feelings and I shared with people was three years ago in my 21º birthday. I wrote a letter in a friend’s blog telling what I was feeling in that moment. Many things have changed since then... for better. Fortunately.

Write about my feelings it really helped me at that time so I’m going to do again. I’ll write here because I think no much people will read it...

In three weeks I'll turn 24 years old.

My life is always have been hard, since the day I was born. I was born at 7th month and I was so little, I had a surgery, and of course, that had consequences...

Well, the reality is, I couldn’t be able to run the N.Y. marathon but... I survived, I’m alive and I can have a normal life, pretty much.

I always wonder if my life would be different if my twin sister had survived too. I’m sure that it would be. I wouldn’t be so shy and I would open person and I would allow people to know me more deeper and trust people more easily. I really believe that she's in heaven, watching me, looking after me and encourage to go on with my life.

When I was a kid, sometimes, I hated myself for being different. I wanted to run, jump, you know... doing things like that. It always been difficult for me to accept the fact that I’m different but I have grown up and I accept myself as I am. Finally. Maybe I can’t do some things, but nobody is perfect and I’m as any other one.

I never have loved and believed so much in myself. That fact have changed since a few years ago.

I wanna thank you to my family, all my close friends and friends I have over the net for being there and to help me to overcome my insecurities and fears. Because now I believe more in myself and that's important for me.

Talking about friends on the net, a few years ago I have know a wonderful people in some forums. they always being there for me in these years. I always will be grateful for that.

The last ones, a cool girls I have know in The L Word spanish forum.

Since I started watching The L Word in 2005: I have open mind, have new hobbies (surfing on websites related about the show), discover a great and talented actresses that I didn’t know until then, and two of them that really touch my heart and now are my favorite actresses. (Kate Moennig and Clementine Ford) and the most important thing I meet so wonderful people on the net from different places in these years.

My good friends on TLW spanish forum must be thought that I don't work too much on it, because I’m not mod anymore... I’m admin now.

That's means... much work to do! But I really enjoying it.

I think it's time to finish, I already write too much.

If you take your time to read this, thank you, that means a lot to me. Just I want to share my thoughts and feelings with you.

We have to live the present... because we don’t know what will happen tomorrow. :)

Song: Hurt Before, The Corrs

She's a girl in a world, she's moving as fast as she goes
Loves her mum and her dad, the only secure that she knows
But at night, she’s alone, she’s dreaming of somebody new
Her someone for to hold, she’s praying the dream will come true

[...]

Yeah we've all been hurt before
So you're not alone... no...
You’re not alone...
