Joie Song of the Moment:

Songs In My Pocket

[Chorus]

Honey I just can't get around it anymore
You make me feel like home is where you are
Baby I just can't run around it every mornin
It's time that I believe it home is where you are

Notes in my drawers
Songs in my pockets
Fragments of letters that you sent

Left over phone calls
Cologne in the bath
I still have that bottle of Rosé

Staring at your photograph
Trying to take it down
There's still a stirring in my heart

[Chorus]

I've never been to half of these places
But your postcard collection makes me crave
A little space, a little waste out of the city
Into the grace of another land
Another tongue, another time

Staring at your photograph
I can't take it down
There's still a fire in me yeah

[Chorus x 2]

Honey I just can't...

You better believe...

How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways:

She's from somewhere very far away and we thank God every day that they sent her here because she is so unique and so just different from any person I've ever met. (Hilarie Burton)

Joy's someone who challenges herself to be electric on every take. Many times she will make choices that elevate the material. And that's when you really win. (Mark Schwahn)

She's quiet, soulful. That's a good word for her. She's one of those people who are just really talented. (David Hartley, One Tree Hill producer)

[Joy is an] actress who's very fresh. All of her stuff seems like it's happening in the moment. It's wonderful to work with her. (Paul Johansson)

The audience took to Joie in the snap of a finger. I've never seen anything like that before. (Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, executive in charge of Procter & Gamble productions [Guiding Light, As The World Turns])

I love working with Joie... My first impression of Joie was, 'Damn, she's 17.' (Paul Anthony Stewart, Guiding Light)

Joie Lenz... wasn't she great... I got her a gold bracelet at the end of the shoot that had "Reva 17" inscribed on it. What a talent... We shot 7 shows in 5 days that first week... almost 200 solid pages of material... it could have been a horrific experience... It was great fun... (Robert Newman, Guiding Light)

[Joie is] an amazing person. She's the type of girl who can do anything! She's been fortunate to be in the public limelight on a number of occasions, but we've never seen it go to her head. She's mature well beyond her actual years. She's level-headed and sensible, yet full of that crazy artist-passion which makes her so fun! (a family friend)

I wasn't really a hardcore Danny and Michelle fan, but I did really like Joie Lenz. She easily clicked and held her own with Robert Newman, Michael O'Leary, Hunt Block, Laura Wright, and other actors. Paul Anthony Stewart is a good actor and Joie Lenz clicked with him too. I was a fan of hers from the clone. She was the perfect adult Michelle. She gave Michelle a depth that was lacking since Rachel Miner left the role. There was such a genuine quality to her. She didn't play Michelle as a victimized martyr either. She played Michelle as a true heroine who was sweet, sexy, passionate, and strong. Unlike the current Michelle, her Michelle had a backbone. She was determined without being obstinate. She was warm without being tepid. She was sweet without being saccharine. She was devoted and loyal without seeming like a stepford wife with a glazed look in her eye. She didn't have to try to be sexy. She just was. (a Guiding Light viewer)

I couldn't help but notice that the 'it' she brought to the screen, and in her photographs, transferred to her being right in front of me. Some actors just look different, some look the same, some blend in, but she stood out every single time. What she brought to the screen came across very easily. (a fan on meeting Joie)

It isn't just one scene or one moment that captured our hearts, it's the character that was created and nurtured over time. It's a scene here, a moment there, that look in her eye, the smile on her lips, it's all of them coming together, it's the little things that I will miss and remember most. [...] I will remember all the faces of Michelle: daughter, sister, friend, wife and mother. So instead of rushing home to pull out my tape and watch my scene, I'll just close my eyes, cue the song in my heart and let my mind take me back and just remember... (Joie Luck Club tribute on Joie's last day on Guiding Light)

Great new thread and love the title! I am getting more and more excited to go to the show. How much cash should I bring? Is there a lot of stuff to buy. I totally want the CD and a t-shirt and poster I am sure.

Great start! The title is awesome, and it's great to be able to have so much new stuff in the opening post.

So much Joy lately. It's awesome.

naleyrocks23 · 03-05-2005, 10:24 PM

dare.you.to.move · 03-05-2005, 10:24 PM

Posting this in the right thread...

Very nice thread start scherra. The link to her official site is so cute!

mela23 · 03-05-2005, 10:28 PM

Me too haha right thread this time.

I love the new thread. I love everything they've said about her. Gah she's so awsome, I'm still listening to her song, it keeps repeating and I don't mind at all. I think it's been an hour already, I'm not tired of it.

kalipinay23 · 03-05-2005, 10:29 PM

Lovely new thread! Beautiful arts! Nice title!

Ahhh 2 days, just 2 days till Joypiter! Heee, I'm soooo excited!!

Callalily · 03-05-2005, 10:31 PM

Great Manny art! They were adorable!

scherra · 03-05-2005, 10:36 PM

Sorry about the double posting. This is the right thread.

Because of the count limit, I've had to drop some of the images from the previous threads template.

Bringing over from the last thread:

>>Joie Birthday Project, April 2 2005<<

~DropsofJupiter~:

Okay last year we did something as a group for Joie's birthday. And it turned out GREAT! If someone doesn't rememeber what we did-- I made a cute little gift sack with everybody's presents and we gathered up "23" presents for her 23rd birthday. I'd like to shoot for 24 this year!

Since a lot of people are younger we decided that something small was the way to go. Tammy, one of our group members, is going to be in Wilmington on or near Joie's birthday and has agreed to play messenger to our little project. Yay Tammy!

Also if any of you wanted to send an idividual birthday card, that's cool too. We'll bundle those up and wrap them with a ribbon. Tammy and I decided it would be best if everybody mails their contributions to me and then I'll send them to her.

Here's some ideas for TINY presents... Bookmarks.little crystal ornaments, a necklace, a bracelet. A gift card or two. some small picture frames. candles. little toys (I know the perfect one), magnets (something cool). I was walking through the bookstore in my campus and saw so many perfect things!

Just anything small. It doesn't even matter if it's a little goofy, lol. If it's goofy it will really stick out.

Linda suggested (last year) that some of you might want to make something for her. That's totally cool too.

**faith grows old** · 03-05-2005, 10:43 PM

Scherra- Thanks for the new thread.

I'm loving all of the new Joie pics and such.

Still listening to "Songs In My Pocket". I heart Joie.

mela23 · 03-05-2005, 10:50 PM

I love that birthday idea so much.

I'm still listening to Songs In My Pocket too. It's outstanding her voice makes me feel so good.

I feel like posting some Joie art too.

addicted2oth · 03-05-2005, 10:52 PM

Love the title! I'm listening to her CD right now

~Audrey~ · 03-05-2005, 11:03 PM

scherra You always have the ability to make one of the most beautiful threads I have ever laid my eyes on. You make Joie shine even more than she already does. Wonderful job.

scherra is right, she did sing "Come Home Soon" at the Seattle show, as well as "Songs in my Pockets." She also sang "Oh God" which isn't on the CD, I'm not sure which song is the last out of the four she sang though. And just out of curiosity, does "Leaving Town Alive" remind anyone else of "Don't Walk Away"?

mela23 · 03-05-2005, 11:04 PM

I wouldn't know.

I don't have her CD...everyday I get more jelous and sad that they aren't coming to Ontario and I'm underage. It sucks megaerly.

SweetSymphony · 03-05-2005, 11:12 PM

Scherra ...I love what you did on the thread!!!..Amazing. All these Joie pics..I'm in heaven.

I can't stop listening to any of her songs. Omg...they're all so perfect. Her voice!!..

..Right now..my fav is 'Leaving Town Alive'..but I really do love all of them.
