I would totally be in on going to Africa... always wanted to go there. Agree with the solo, I seriously sing at the top of my lungs in my car, wishing that God would some day bless my vocal chords, still waiting on that. What movie were you in?

ashley, i will for sure let you know if i find a trip. (i've been looking and praying for a while now...) as for the movie i was in, well, it was an independent film called shiloh that played at the ragtag cinema in columbia. i was actually just supposed to edit the script and help out behind the camera, but somehow i ended up as the random girl in the background of most scenes. it was fun, though! and the story was true...about a guy (the one who wrote the script) who grew up on the streets.
