Best California Trip Ever.

Every July I go to California for Fan Club Weekend and as much as I love it, most years it is just an okay trip because I have to deal with fans who are rude. But I can honestly say this was the best trip ever. Sure, I saw those people on occasion but it truly didn't matter because I was happy. I don't know how many pictures I'll end up posting here but for now I'll post two.

Carolyn. I could talk about her forever but I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I've known her almost as long as she's been on GH, a few months less give or take. I liked GH before she came on but she made me love GH and more importantly I adore her. She has done so much for me over these last few years and I am just so thankful to her. I can't really put into words what she means to me but she means a heck of a lot. Whenever I'm around her, I just feel so much better about myself and she radiates this light that I can never really explain. Before her event, I saw her outside of the event room and we hugged and I was so happy to see her. And that night, a bunch of us just talked for hours and it was amazing. I will always be thankful to her for how much she has impacted my life. I didn't get a picture with her friend Alex but I LOVE HER. Alex is a comedy genius. I met her last year at lunch and just adored her. She's hysterically funny and probably one of the most down to earth people on the planet. And she does this comedy show every month and ever since last year we had talked about my going and I finally went. It was laugh out loud funny. Carolyn couldn't make it but Alex was so wonderful. I stayed two hours after the show with some of her friends and we laughed and Alex made me feel so comfortable. Then she came to dinner with Carolyn and her other friends and I was so excited to see her. Her shows are always at the end of the month so it's a drag that whenever I go to LA outside of GH weekend, it's usually at the beginning or middle of the month. But I am so glad I got to spend time with her<3 Then there's Rick Hearst. When I started watching GH years ago, the only thing I remember is that Rick's character of Ric was crazy and he had Carly in a panic room. But during the last few years Rick was on the show they tried to redeem him a lot and I just miss him from the show. He's an incredible actor and he's probably my favorite male actor ever, maybe second next to Derk and Scott Reeves. I was so nervous seeing him again and my friend Kim was in line with me. I got up there and I told him how nervous I was and he gave me the BIGGEST HUG imaginable. And that what is pictured here.

He signed a picture I bought as well as a picture from the last event of Carolyn's that he came to a few years ago. He is just totally awesome. I can't wait to go back to LA in less than a month<3
