Latest Journal Entry (thanks to Audrey for typing it up):

April 19, 2005
I’m headed home today. Goodbye LA for the summer! I’m going up north to ride horses and wear sundresses and sit in the wide open spaces and read and write and REST. I’ll continue to keep everyone posted.

Thank you all, again, for your continued support. I get all of your letters and read them each with affection. Forgive me if it takes a few months to respond with a photo, as sometimes the mail sits at TheWB for a very long time before we ever even see it.

So, I’m sending blessings to you, and may this spring blossom a new season of childlike wonder and romance for you all.

Love, Bette

p.s. If you haven’t seen “The Notebook” yet… GET YOUR ASS TO BLOCKBUSTER AND RENT IT! It’s the best romance I’ve ever seen. –EVER.

Joie Pictures of the Moment (inspired by her latest journal entry about sundresses):

Recent Joie Quotes:

"I have my home and my family and that's what's safe for me. I go to work and do my job like everybody else in the country. My job I happen to love and it's definitely in a different medium than someone who's working in a cubicle, but I still go to work and do the best that I can. The excess things like the perks and the fans and all that kind of stuff, it's not why I'm in [the business]. I can just enjoy it as a blessing instead of something that I have to adjust to and find a new way to deal with," Lenz said. Source

“I want to move people, it’s not about me. I have been given the gift of being an entertainer. I love getting to touch people’s lives.” Source

"You can get inspired in all sorts of weird ways as an artist. You never know what's going to strike you," she says. "It's the little moments – the little graces, if you will." Joie Lenz. Source

Joie Song of the Moment:

The Loneliness is Better Near Now written by Joie and decoded by Michelle

It's lonliest when you're here
It's quietly when you're right beside me
I don't say it to hurt you
I just miss the touch of his hand

The lonliness is better near now
Than to satisfy the crave
The lonliness is better near now
Than to satisfy the crave, and start all over

But I like fingertips on my face
The glances I can retrace in my mind
The holding onto me so I feel it and fall into it
Chase the memories away
I know I'm not the same, but I'm wishful
And I'm strained and strange
And though I won't complain
I know I stray, I know I stay

An ocean away
A woman at bay
She shoots up a flare and beackons him near
And the closer you get
The safer I am
But the further I run to hide me in the dark and

The lonliness is better near now
Than to satisfy the crave
Yes, The lonliness is better near now
Than to satisfy the crave, and start all over

But I like fingertips on my face
The glances I can retrace in my mind
The holding onto me so I feel it and fall into it
Chase the memories away
I know I'm not the same

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

(credit: scherra for this compilation)

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)

Oh you lazy ass

Did you notice how we're posting here more...hmm happens to be when the board is dead

pinkpretzel · 04-23-2005, 03:13 AM

Yep, I read you post, thanks!

Hey, who wouldn't feel lazy in this kind of weather over here? It's so hot.

Quote:

Yea, I noticed. But heck, as long as we're posting in any Joie-related thread, I don't see what's the problem.

That board is our home though, no doubt.

kalipinay23 · 04-23-2005, 03:18 AM

Dude, the weather's crazy over here. It was sunny and hot during the day...now 3am it's raining

No problems, I just thought it was kinda funny. Her board is Joypiter

pinkpretzel · 04-23-2005, 03:22 AM

It's raining? And you're still up? Dude, if I were you, I'd be sleeping curled up like a baby right now.

It's crazy over here too. In the afternoon, it's always dark and cloudy, then by the time 4pm rolls, it'll get sunny, and super hot.

Joypiter indeed.
