Kristin Chenoweth is an award-winning American singer and musical theatre, film and television actress. Some of her best-known roles have included Glinda in Broadway’s Wicked and Annabeth Schott in television’s The West Wing. She is currently appearing in the role of Olive Snook on the ABC dramedy Pushing Daisies for which she received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy. She is also the face of Jude Frances jewelry. Chenoweth has a distinctive speaking voice. In FHM’s March 2006 issue, she compared her voice to that of Betty Boop. Chenoweth is a soprano known for her powerful singing technique.

Chenoweth was born Kristi Dawn Chenoweth (she added an “n” in her first name later because she thought that “Kristin” was a more operatic name than “Kristi”) in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and was adopted at birth. Chenoweth’s ancestry includes one-quarter Cherokee lineage. After studying drama at Broken Arrow High School under Billie Sue Thompson, Chenoweth attended Oklahoma City University, where she was a member of Gamma Phi Beta (Beta Omicron) Sorority. She earned a bachelor’s degree in musical theater and a master’s degree in opera performance, studying under Florence Birdwell who taught Miss America 1981 Susan Powell and three-time Tony nominee Kelli O’Hara. While at OCU, Chenoweth won the title of “Miss OCU” and went on to win second runner-up in the Miss Oklahoma pageant in 1991. She also performed at Opryland USA.

Chenoweth made her Broadway debut in a production of Molière’s Scapin starring Bill Irwin, followed in the spring of 1997 by the musical Steel Pier by John Kander and Fred Ebb, for which she won a Theatre World award. The following season, she appeared in the City Center Encores! production of the George and Ira Gershwin musical Strike Up the Band and the Lincoln Center Theater production of William Finn’s A New Brain. She has performed several times on the radio program A Prairie Home Companion.

During the 19981999 season, she performed in the Broadway revival of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown as the title character’s sister, Sally, a character that was not present in the original production. (That character replaces the obscure Peanuts character Patty, not to be confused with Peppermint Patty.) The production won Chenoweth the Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards as the season’s Best Featured Actress in a Musical. She then starred in the Broadway comedy Epic Proportions, followed by appearances in ABC’s television adaptation of the musical Annie (as Lily St. Regis), and in the leading role of Daisy Gamble in the City Center Encores! production of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.

In 2003, Chenoweth performed songs from her album Let Yourself Go in concert for Lincoln Center’s 5th American Songbook. She also performed in City Center Encores! 10th Anniversary Bash. In London, she was involved in Divas at Donmar for director Sam Mendes, then appeared in the Actor’s Fund Benefit Concert of the musical Funny Girl in New York City.

In October 2003, Chenoweth returned to Broadway in Wicked, the smash hit musical about the early years of the witches of Oz. She was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance as Glinda. After playing Glinda for nine months (not including the years leading up to the Broadway run where she played the role in all of the show’s workshops), Chenoweth left Wicked on 18 July 2004 along with co-stars Joel Grey and Norbert Leo Butz. Chenoweth was replaced by Jennifer Laura Thompson.

Are you ing serious?
You’re stupid.

If you do you’re a ing moron.

Fuck you # 5

NOBODY cares about threats over the internet,
so don’t try to act hardcore with the keyboard.
Fighting online is like racing in the Special Olympics;
Even if you win, you’re still retarded.

Fuck you # 6

Quit crying because you’re not on someones ‘Top 8′.

If you really cared that much, you would

I don’t want you as a friend, that’s what’s up,
Asshole.

Fuck you # 8

6th graders who have MySpace and look like s,
and act like whores;
Go somewhere else because nobody wants you here.
And Parents -
Quit blaming MySpace for your kid being a hooker,
she was a whore before MySpace,
and she’d be a whore without it!
What does that say about your parenting skills?
Think about it!

Fuck you # 9

If you have decided to read this, you are a true MySpace Friend.
Real friends read their bulletins,

Fuck you # 10

If you open a bulletin and it says something like repost this in 100 seconds or a ghost will rape you tonight, or some dead is going to rape your mom - quit being dumb!

Fuck you # 12

Myspace was created to keep up with friends.
Quit trying to check up on your ex!!
Come on, now, people, its called stalking…you might as well be sitting in front of their house with binoculars

This is a test to see how many people in your friends list

Sam Harris’ FRIEND FRIDAY #42, Photographer, Corporal Jayel Aheram, USMC

Posted by admin on December 14th, 2008 and filed under get myspace friends | 25 Comments »

► http://samharris.com/FF

See a collection of Jayel’s photography in a special music video slideshow we put together at:
http://tinyurl.com/aheramHD
Sam sings “Imagine” by John Lennon.

“What I must do is all that concerns me, not what people think. … you will always find people who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy to live in the world and live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Self-Reliance”

Jayel Aheram presents a collection of things seen, experienced, and lived while serving in the harsh deserts of Iraq and elsewhere. A unique view of events rarely seen in the nightly newscast, a point-of-view of one troop in a war zone and at home, and a glimpse of a vastly different and sometimes beautiful Iraq.

For more information, please visit his web site at:
http://www.aheram.com
and his Flickr aacount at:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/aheram

Though known for his caustic wit and spontaneous charm, Jayel suffers from an overwhelming excess of personality. He is a compulsive writer and often writes for his blog: Aheram Takes On… http://aheram.blogspot.com
He dabbles in art and video, but his main interest lies in photography. He is hopelessly addicted to the multi-player world of Zebedee LP MUD. He is a fierce advocate of free culture and a vocal opponent of overly strict copyrights. He adheres to Creativist principles and considers the pursuit of his own happiness a moral goal. He adores the color purple, butterflies, kittens, and strange beasts. He is a product of an international upbringing; at home anywhere from the land of the Rising Sun to the sun-scorched dunes where the ageless Euphrates roll.

In Jayel’s words…

The Blogger

I launched Aheram Takes On… in early 2005. The blog has been through two design changes, three coding overhauls, and five different purges. In its current incarnation, it is a chronicle of my creative spirit creating, making, and living; a celebration of things that I value and an insight to my creative process.

I have been blogging on and off since 2000, but it was not a serious venture until early 2005 when I launched Aheram Takes On… It is part-art blog, part-journal, and mostly about me. It is nearly always all original content of my own creation, but I will occasionally feature deserving artists.

The Photographer

I am woefully ignorant of the history of photography and as much as I regret to say this, I cannot say I am influenced by any of the great pioneering masters like Ansel Adams and others. My work is neither an emulation of a particular style nor does it ume to present a specific policy. It is an exercise in extrospection, a documentary of the world and its people as I perceive it.

Early 2005 was full of new beginnings for me. It included the launch of my first serious foray into blogging, my enlistment with the Marine Corps, and the adoption of a new hobby. I woke up one morning deciding that I needed something new to occupy my time, something creative. Painting first and then photography came to mind. My interest in photography was piqued partly by my friend Sachenka Brinkley, an amateur photographer. A Flickr account and a new camera later, a career was born. In February 2008, Cat’s Eye became live. It is my professional gallery which I use to highlight selected works and portfolios.
