Have you ever had a crazy idea and just went for it? It might not be some big huge thing, but you do it, and you do it without a second thought and you're laughing the whole time you are doing it because you didn't think you would ever do it in the first place.
Yes that first paragraph didn't make much sense, but I don't think it was supposed to. I went and made an AIM sn. I'm not sure about it, but I figured what the hell. You only live once right? I'm not sure when I'll be on AIM. I am more of a nocturnal person, so you can probably find me on late nights. Maybe other times. Depends on how my day goes.
If you want to talk you can find me @ Meg is sleepless.
I don't have many people on my buddy list, so if you want me to add you drop me a comment.

What happens when you don't what to say in that little write update box that you are given to deposit your thoughts in? You let your journal set there and hope you find the words to come. You don't just want to update about whatever is going on in your life career wise. Yes, there are things I can write about. Such as I've been cast in a new movie that will film this coming spring. My costar is Adam Brody which you might recognize from his role as Seth Cohen on The O. C. There is that and other projects I am set to work on in the coming year.
sop much else has been going in my head though. So much that is happening in here, and I am hoping as I sit here I can properly express the thoughts. Here I am a woman in her early forties. A mother. A divorcee. A single woman. I've been with many. I've been in many relationships. I've been one to fall into the mold that everyone else does. you know the one right? The one where there is one out there for you. There is the one person that is your perfect match in every single way. The one that is the yen to your yang. The one that is your other half. You spend your life searching for that one person, and you think you've found them. You think that is it. Your life is complete and there is no more you have to search for.
Then this is where life throws you a curve ball that kicks you in the ass. You know one of those pitches you feel all the way to your bones, and your left stunned. Your left standing there with your mouth dropped open with the feeling you've been socked in the gut. All these emotions and feelings are all competing and demanding for your attention, but you're just shell-shocked and not knowing what to feel. Then you recover. You don't know how you do it, but you catch your breath and you stumble back to the ground and you're getting your bearings back.
That's what love does to you when it ends. It just destroys you, and no matter what you feel or how you feel it you don't think you'll ever feel that same exact way about another person. In all reality? You won't. Each person and each time you love is different. After the big deafening blow you receive from one you thought was your soulmate it is possible you might never recover. You just need to deal with the balls that life throws at you and hope not another curve slams into your gut.
I have no idea where the whole baseball analogy came from really. Not one idea. I guess it worked cause I think it got out what I needed to. I think. If it didn't do the job you'll be seeing me soon.

Well, hello journal. I have returned. It has been awhile, and you probably feel sligthly neglected and I so apolgize. I also apologize to those on my friends list. I just added a few people that had added me. Sorry for having taken so long in doing so. I've been busy, but I am back, and I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. Mine was spent quietly. I had a wonderful relaxing day.
However, I heard through the grapevine that my wonderful ex Dennis had a busy day. Busy doing what? From what I heard? He got married on Sunday. I saw it coming, and it doesn't really bother me. Not really. We've been a part for years. I guess the news just came as a small shock to me. I heard about it online like most of the world did. He didn't even tell me himself when we last spoke. Perhaps it was a last minute decision, but it is done. I'm moving on, once again.
I hope all is well.

Well it looks like I let my journal lapse. Been busy. Yes, I know my life is oh so very busy, I can attend Laker's games. What can I say? I've attended a few. It's entertaining anyway. Not only have I attended Laker's games, I recently went to go see this little movie some of you might have heard about called The Day After Tomorrow. There is this one guy in it. I kind of sort of was married to him at one time, and from what I've heard he just recently got engaged. Good for him.
No, that isn't me being bitter. Why would I be bitter? We were married for many years, and from that marriage I have this wonderful gift. My son, Jack Henry. Dennis and I still communicate, and dare I say it we are friends? We have to be in order to keep our family running smoothly. I actually enjoyed his film. I snuck in at one of the nearby theaters in a cap and glasses. Sat in the back row at the very top. The special effects were amazing, and the acting was good. Dennis did a wonderful job as always.
As for my life, not much is going on of great importance. I'm working on a few things, but I will address those items at a later date. Right now, I have an introduction to go and write.

Well here I am back again. Things have been busy, but that is the norm. The talk is all about Cannes this week, but I didn't make the trip this year. I didn't really have a reason to be there. Instead I've stayed home here in Los Angeles. I even took in Lakers game which was great fun. I saw a great deal of familiar faces in attendance. Some of them even on my friends list here which was nice.
I'm waiting to start work on Papa, and I am already lying up a project to work on following that. I feel real good about it. However, I'm nervous about it as well. I've written a screenplay folks. I sat in front of my computer and night after night I wrote. I finally came up with something that I think has the chance to be something great, and I called my good friend Tom Hanks, and I asked him to do it with me. After our successes together in the past with such movies like Sleepless in Seattle and You've got mail I thought he would be a perfect choice. It looks like he is going to do it, but we haven't made any final commitments yet. Shooting woulsn't begin until after I finish Papa, so we're looking early next year.
Writing is a totally different than acting. It was one I enjoyed thoroughly though. I've even thought of trying my hand at fiction. Similar to that of a screenplay, but different format of course. Maybe I'll think of something, and try writing more.
EDIT: I just looked on my friends list, and I see my good friend [ Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a [...] [lj2]>') in entry. Owner must fix manually.

Okay when did my life get so busy? Honestly, lately things have been crazy. Finding time longer than to drop a small comment here or there has escaped me. I'm back today however to update you all on my life. I know you have all been waiting for another entry from me. Or not? Either way I have returned. I've updated my icons and now I'm updating here in my journal. I've been everywhere in the past weeks. From California to DC. Attending this function or that function. Rubbing elbows with everyone from Bush to god knows who else. I will not bore you with the details of who I've been talking to cause the list has been extensive.
I was reading an article a few days ago. I don't even remember how I stumbled across it. I think I was searching for news articles that had my name mentioned. Well, anyway, I happened to find one, and I was a bit upset by what I found. My latest film was mentioned which in itself was not weird. It was how they talked about me.
Against the Ropes is a trash treat from maddest Hollywood. Could anything be dafter than the sight of Meg Ryan - her face now appears so surgically made-over that you search vainly for the old impish sexiness in the glossy Barbarella cheek-planes and lips like voluptuous twin slugs - managing a middleweight boxer's rise to champdom?
I don't think I look maid over. Yes, I do have some work done. Everyone does, but it isn't to the extent of some I've heard of. I don't know where they get off really. Yes, this is me a bit upset. I didn't even realize it until I read the article snippet again. I don't see anything wrong with having something done. An injection or two is not killing me. My Lord ... people need to get a life.
There are a lot more important things to write about. There are people dying, people starving around the world. Yet, the press chooses to write about my cosmetic surgery. I found a few other articles that discuss what other stars have done to themselves, and yes there is such a thing as having too much done, but I haven't.
Enough about that. I didn't mean to go on like I did. I have other things to discuss. On May 20th, those of you with Showtime Family will be able to hear me narrate a special premiering that day. It is titled "What's Going On? Breaking the Cycle of Violence in Northern Ireland." The documentary follows children living and dealing with the violence in Northern Ireland. The documentary is told through their eyes. I just narrate. It is surely to be powerful. You can read more about that here.
I will update again soon. Hope all are well.

I have this urge to write this long entry about some recents events in my personal life. Well, maybe not recent, since they are part of something that has been on-going for several years. I sit here with my fingers resting on the keys, and I can't find the words. Don't you hate when that happens? when you have the words on the tip of your tongue or in this present case on the tips of my fingers and I can't type them out. Instead I'm rambling in this totally pointless entry that is probably boring you all to tears, and you are probably wondering why I sat at the computer to write this entry. I guess I thought if I actually sat here and tried to type it out the words would come, but alas they have not. I hate it.
Maybe I should update about what is happening to me professionally, so that this entry isn't a total waste. Or perhaps I should hit the delete key and go to bed. Ahh ... hell. I'll just go to bed. Better entry soon.

So another late night update from me. I was on and saw the arrival of [ Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a [...] [lj2]>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.] So another late night update from me. I was on and saw the arrival of <b><a [lj2] href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/grant_hugh/">Hugh</a></b>, so I figured while I was sitting here and updating my friends list and whatnot I would update my journal. Sounds like a plan right? I hope all are well. Things are slow for me right now. Papa is still in pre-production, so filming hasn't yet started on that. I'm almost antsy to work more, but it is nice being able to raise my son as well. <b><a [lj2] href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/breckinmeyer/">Breckin</a></b> I hope you are doing well. If you ever have the need to talk, you know how to find me. I actually almost ventured into the obtaining of an AIM sn. I'm not much for instant messenger conversation, but I thought I might. I'm just coming up blank on a screen name. So help me? And with that, good night. |

So I promised a longer entry in her today. Well actually yesterday, but since it is after midnight .... I messed up. Oh well. That is life, and life doesn't always work out like you plan. As you know, I'm Meg Ryan ... ha ... I better be right cause if I'm not and this was my journal there might be a problem right? I was born back in 1961 in Connecticut. Times weren't all sunshine and laughter growing up, but I won't bore you with those details now. Maybe at a later date okay?
I started acting with a film debut in 1981. Things went so well I dropped out of college to pursue acting and began some television work. Did a few years on the soap opera on CBS, As the World Turns as Betsy Montgomery. After I left the soap world in 1984, I ventured back into movies. Doing roles in several films including Top Gun and Innerspace. I've done several movies since, and no I'm not going to list them all here. Why bore you to tears like I said?
Might as well get into rthe details you actually want to hear about and that is me personally. Romantically I've been linked with or dated/married several men. The longest relationship being to my ex-husband Dennis Quaid, whom I also have a son with. We ended our marriage a few years ago, and we rarely communicate. The only times we talk are to talk about our son. The marriage ended badly. I'm sure you all know that. Don't need to go into all of that right? I've also been linked to Breckin Meyer, Travis Fimmel, Russell Crowe, Anthony Edwards, and a few others. Right now, I'm honest to say I'm single. I'm not really seeing anyone. not that I'm not looking, but I figure if something is supposed to find me it will. I like to have my fun too you know? No harm in that.
And to those that I've seen entries in my previous journals, this is probably the longest one I've ever written. I could tell you more about me, but I'm spent!

Well I fully intended to write this long entry introducing myself and telling everyone why I'm giving this journal thing another go. It seems like I come and I go so much around here. I'm hoping to turn over a new leaf, and stick to it this time. So that longer entry will be done tomorrow. I got a little carried away putting this journal together I suppose and lost track of the time. I also need to work on an AIM name, but I have no idea what to get, so any suggestions on that front would be helpful. I'm not sure how much I'll use the screen name, but I probably will come on from time to time, and catch up with everyone. Who knows I might even be on a lot? I'm just taking this journal thing as it comes.
However I think right now I should head to bed. It's really late and the morning will come all too soon.
