my friend from npr sent me this.

its not often that i actually write about the gilmore girls, because its hard for me to control my emotions. but i will just say for the record that i think lane kim is a dynamite character and an essential/vital part of the gilmore girls family. the show would be... let's say less ethnically diverse without her.





Keiko Agena: Gilmore Girl keeps finances simple

Keiko Agena is best known for her portrayal of Lane Kim on the WB hit TV show "Gilmore Girls." As Rory Gilmore's brainy and somewhat eccentric best friend, Keiko recently garnered the Ammy Award for Best Female Actor in a television production. The Ammy Awards honor Asians and Asian-American achievement in film and television.

Born and raised in Honolulu, Keiko began her acting career at the age of 10, mostly because she wasn't athletic enough to play sports. She continued at the performing arts school now known as Mid-Pacific Institute School of the Arts. Agena was able to meet President Bush, as one of only four actors nationwide chosen as a Presidential Scholar in the Arts.

She decided to continue as long as it was fun. That was more than a decade ago and Agena still considers acting fun. Before landing her role on "Gilmore Girls", Agena was no stranger to television. She had appeared in a recurring role on the WB's "Felicity" and guest-starred on "Beverly Hills 90210," "ER," "Sister, Sister" and "Renegade." Additionally, she appeared in the made-for-TV-movie "Terror in the Shadows" and the independent feature "Hundred Percent." Other roles include the romantic lead in "Red Thread," the challenging role of a young woman struggling with anorexia nervosa in Lifetime's "Strong Medicine," as well as guest star in Nickelodeon's "Nightmare Room."

Keiko has relocated to Los Angeles and has been working steadily in theater, television and film since her arrival.

When not working on her career, Keiko plays drums, renovates her home, does yoga and watches endless sitcom reruns. She also spends a great deal of time eating with friends, addictively playing the card game "pounce" and the computer game "Civilizations" and avoids updating her Web site.

Bankrate: Are you involved with any charities?

Keiko Agena: I am involved with KPCC, the Southern California radio station that's an NPR affiliate. Also, I give to World Vision.

before i forget

i have been trying to get some more catch phrases going

see ya- which has to be said with emphasis on the see and then a real quick ya. but i don't think there are enough hard consenances in it. i dont think i spelled that word right.

tow up- which is sort of like totally. and this one i really like, and i think i made up. i have been using it in text messages a lot. so try to remember that.

and if you're like who is this girl to be makin up sayings, well i have i just have a knack for catchy phrases. like, "i don't front" which was popular in recess for months. or bringing back super has a common adjective.

anyways use tow up as much as you can. i would really appreciate it.

ps i think i want glasses. wouldn't they be fun to play with at work or what?

office

if i hear one more person answer their phone with " i was just emailing you." i am seriously going to eat my face and then puke it up and wear it and talk really close to people, which is uncomfortable under normal circumstances, but with a puke face it would be more than a simple social faux pas.

call me

i also have a phone all to myself. 202.828.6624. i was hesitant at giving out my phone number on the internet, but no one reads this. so go ahead and call i love getting messages.

workity work

i am about to go into a meeting. hahahaha. a meeting?!?!?!?! i am very important. i didn't get a signing bonus or anything but i was given a free email address. yeah check it. i also have a desk with super expensive video equipment on it. and i can touch it whenever i want. holler, whores.

yo. there are some very funny videos here. that i am in or made or had very little to do with. if you wonder why you don't see my senior moment up there its because i did mine live, bitches. unrehearsed and live. i really like calling people whores lately, and i think it's because i saw these sixteen year old girls in forever 21 wearing a lot of make-up and calling each other whores. i just wanted to be them, just for a second. and then they caught me staring at them and they jumped me in the parking lot. those fake nails can dig deep.
