With my father and brother's names. That way they are always close to me no matter how far apart we are.
My first week at Northwestern University was a whirlwind of sleepless excitement. I made good friends with my peer advisor, a girl named Jane. I was drawn to her awesome theatrical resume, and since theatre was my major, I decided to interview her about it.
Apparently, she was the most accomplished person in the theatre program, having worked on thirteen theatrical productions in her freshman year. I stared wide-eyed as she explained her achievements and all the opportunities she had been exposed to and taken advantage of in the theatre culture on campus. She had cool friends. She got great grades. She knew what classes to take. I had gone to Northwestern to be her.
One night, Jane introduced me to her friend Steven who was producing a show with a student theatre group that I wanted to join. We talked about the show he was producing and how interested I was in participating. Later that night, I received an e-mail from Steven asking me to assistant produce the show. Things were starting for me. I’d make connections in the student theatre network and do more productions and then I’d be on my way to being just like Jane Williams.
One night I received a text from Jane: “What are you up to tonight? Come over to my apartment at 10.”
I knew that Jane was going to be my mentor but I couldn’t imagine that she was going to be my friend, too. I spent about thirty minutes choosing what to wear. I left twenty minutes early so I wouldn’t get lost. I knocked on the apartment door and they let me in excitedly. There were mixers all over the counter and one of Jane’s friends held two bottles of liquor in each hand.
“Welcome to Wednesdays,” Jane laughed.
I walked in, smiling and tentative. I felt naked. All six of them were staring at me. Sometimes you can just feel when you are being judged. But I kept my composure and laughed along with them as they told jokes and gossiped about everyone they knew, about who said what senseless thing and who did what unbelievable thing.
They asked what drink I would like and read me the list of mixers. I didn’t plan on drinking but I asked for an appletini because it was the first thing that came to mind. I held it all night. Finally, when they were drunk and I thought they wouldn’t notice, I went to the bathroom and dumped out my drink in the sink. But they caught me, and when I returned they said, “Oh, the old dump-it-in-the-sink trick. Did you guys see that?” They kept asking me, drunkenly, “So who are you, Hannah? We want to hear all your dirty secrets.” I’d try to change the subject, not because I had dirty secrets, but because I was worried that if we got into it, they’d see how really innocent I was and I’d feel more naked than I already felt.
But what caught my attention most was their continual mention of the word “Wednesdays.” I asked them what “Wednesdays” were. Jane laughed and looked at Steve and said, “You explain.”
Steve told me that last year they had all started drinking together on Wednesdays. Once everybody sort of knew about it, they started calling themselves the “Wednesdays.” He told me they were trying to find a new member, so they wanted me to come tonight. Then another guy leaned forward and said, “This is an audition.”
I kept smiling, but said that I should probably leave.
Jane never invited me again. She spoke to me cordially on occasion, but I mostly tried to avoid her. She set up a lunch date to check on me out of obligation, and then cancelled the day of the lunch. I was relieved.
I have a new group of friends now. I don’t feel naked in front of them. I don’t have to drink an appletini. They are not perfect, but being with them feels like sticking my hand into fresh soil. It feels tangible, authentic, and organic. It feels like how I thought college would feel. It feels like home.

Season 2 of HBO's "True Detective" is set in the fictitious city of Vinci, California. The actual corrupt city of Vernon, CA stands in for Vinci, for the most part.

There was so much love on the streets of Chicago on Saturday night.
It was all around us as we explored the happenin' areas with our cameras at the ready.
The vibe was inescapable.
It's a good thing to be surrounded with.
I hope you find yourself surrounded with love... that you feel loved and you're inspired by the love of the people around you.
It's a great feeling.
One that everybody deserves.

Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie"

“I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”
― Jon Katz

I consider myself familiar with Jeff Bridges' work as an actor, but "True Grit" proved to me that he's a much better actor than I ever gave him credit for. True Grit is a "different version" of the movie that is based on the book and not a remake of the original movie starring John Wayne. A 14 year old girl approaches Rooster Cogburn (Bridges) about bringing Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin) to justice for killing her father. With the help of LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) the trio embark on the hunt that ends in the only way that The Coen Brothers could see fit. Josh Brolin once again proves his worth as does Matt Damon who even has the Texan accent down perfectly. As for Hailee Steinfeld she was perfect as well and I hope to see her in more films in the future. The casting in this film was supreme as well. The movie will be considered another Coen Classic in my opinion and as for the ending, well it ended in the typical Coen fashion, that there isn't such a thing as a perfect ending. I give it 4 and a Half out of 5, it came close to a 5.

After receiving all these goodies in the mail the past few days, and 4 new girls purchased lately, I have come to the "realization" that I must have a sickness....BLYTHE SICKNESS. The amounts of money I am spending on this hobby are really killing me. WHY do I have to have the BEST? The girls dress better than me, they are spoiled, and I must come to my senses....(heavy sigh)....I MUST go on a serious Dolly Diet, really! Anyone want to join me? True Confessions..................................Is it really worth it???

True Diversity Dinner, Snow Goose Restaurant, Anchorage, Alaska, September 25, 2009. The True Diversity Dinner was sponsored by several Alaska bloggers and information lists who had been active in the summer 2009 fight for the Anchorage equal rights ordinance A) 2009-64. After the ordinance passed but was then vetoed by Mayor Dan Sullivan, we decided to hold the dinner as an alternative to the Mayor's Unity Dinner (renamed from what used to by the Mayor's Diversity Dinner), because, we decided, "we all deserve a seat at the table." For further information, see the True Diversity Dinner website or my posts about the dinner www.henkimaa.com/tag/true-diversity-dinner/.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
