So Kathy and Nathaniel are best friends....
According to SnappyDaze, she made a statement... I guess its not really necessary to know their personal business but if they say or do something public, it becomes public discussion... I will never talk about their personal biz ever again like when those nasty posters tried to push their anti-NM agendas here... Only when KB and/or NM open the subject and she did sooooo...
I'm so jealous. I wish I could be his friend too... !!!!
But how does she do it and not go over ?
But hea, as I always said.. good for them. At the luncheon I was so happy to imagine how she was there for him on a personal level when he went through such a tough period in his life (seeing as I couldn't be the one, ) so I hoped they were as close as I thought I was seeing...

Excerpt from Seal IV:
You allow yourself to fall from grace then you feel again. You re-ignite the senses... re-evaluate the gift of being able to make someone happy... The frustration... self doubt... all time low... anxiety &... disappointment. You gather them & then you strike with the might of it all. You let it hurt you, maim you & even disgrace you. But you NEVER let it kill you. You let it get you down but then you get back up again & you strike! with the might of a peaceful warrior.
I love my life, I love all the people in my life, even the one's I hate I love. I have the most amazing life in the world. People say the nicest things to me. I'm lucky... I have a voice... I'm not referring to the singing variety. I mean the voice of expression, of communication, how about just being heard? Isn't that what we all want?... [so] it would then give us a feeling of validation? Surely this would confirm our existence after all, none of us want to come and go into oblivion. We want to be counted isn’t that what all the anxiety and frustration’s about?
If I had a wish, [besides world peace], it would be that everyone in the world could experience what it is like to be heard, to connect directly with the emotions of others… But then I guess that would be like world peace in a funny kind of way… Inner peace. All of this is the gift I wake up to each day so you see the problems are insignificant! They become irrelevant in the big picture. Yeah sure I have bad days, sometimes I get down so low that I could wear a top hat & still crawl under a snake, we all do but when we’re being assessed, it’s going to be on how quick & if all we did get back up.
What’s amazing is that we come out of it [&]... we remember the... people that all too often go unnoticed.
I have a theory on that. But, I wouldn't want to post here so as not to seem insulting to NM. Anyhoo, they seem crazy about each other. I have been reading for awhile where KB said they had chemistry without speaking to each other in scenes and that KB and NM hung out together almost from the beginning. So there is always a possibility that they could still hook up.
Honestly, if I was KB, even if NM couldn't be my man, I would try to make him a friend with BENEFITS !!
Oh come on! U guys had to know I would take it there!!

Re: So Kathy and Nathaniel are best friends....
Yeah, I know that lots of people think there's something going on, on the downlow.. and although I'd be happy for them if that were the case because I really like them both and it would do my heart good to know they found such happiness, separately or together... I truly don't think that's what's going on. The fact is that you gotta get close to be able to give what they do onscreen, so I would assume they are that close... wouldn't have assumed BEST friends, but considering all they went through together this past summer, I get it... and then you have to add that Nathaniel was planning to wander back to Kauai if things didn't pan out... not sticking around the Apple to be with Kathy... naw.... Besides, why hide it if it was like that? Hell belz.. I WISH I'd get news the man is TAKEN... then maybe I could quit dreaming about falling into the right circumstances and timing under which I could share a special moment in time with him... and give some other poor shmuck a chance to get with me... lol.

Actually, probably off topic but related...
I wish I knew who to ask about this, because I don't want to talk to the people I act with, cuz all are potential contacts etc... but honestly... whenever I get paired with a hot screen partner and especially if we have hot scenes... I don't know how NOT to "enjoy" it, at least somewhat... You act professional with them, and wonder if its happening to them too... Its wierd.. On some level, to be believeable, you have to go to that place where its real to you, so on some level, its professional to actually have those feelings, I think, so that would be true with NM & KB, I'd think... I need to find a book on this, cuz its buggin, and though its in common with wondering about people like Nathaniel and Kathy, its also somethign I need to deal with.. I can't be coming home from rehearsal with my mind in the gutter about someone I need to respect...

Re: Actually, probably off topic but related...
I think it is a legitimate question Char. I mean obviously some actors go whole hog when they have love scenes with costars. That is how they began to have feelings sometimes and hook up with the person in real life. a lot of times they say the whole "we r professionals" schtick. And sometimes they draw from a previous real life experience to get into the scene. But when u have 2 people who connected from the beginning how does it not spill over into romantic onscreen moments? I have male friends i am close to but romance never enters my mind, i mean i couldn't even fake it and sometimes I have tried! I loved the person as a friend and couldn't even fathom sucking face with them. And it isn't the same afterwards.
So how do they make the sparks fly when their is obvious and intense chemistry and then just walk away without getting overheated? Maybe your crew isn't big enuf Char. I heard that having 60 people in the room with u puts a different spin on it and kills any possible romance. Though didn't JDP meet Kassie like that? and I could swear he said that when they had their love scene fireworks flew. Anyhoo, let me know if any1 answers this question, i'd like to know.

I'm going to look into it... as it is, actors get paired because they match, so it stands to reason that they might have chemistry... so its not like the male friends you'd never think of sucking face with... trust me... this guy? I can't go anywhere with him without everyone trying to talk to him, and he's got his own band... and I found out its mutual after I wrote that.
oh, but... you did help some... I was practicing a scene that is only me and him, as in ALONE... no one around for over an hour... so no wonder, huh? Oh... I need to AVOID working with someone alone.. that's the KEY! If only I had known, I would have never let this door get opened!
Excerpt I love from Luisa Valenzuela's The Lizard's Tale: I have my obsessions, I have my fear that drags me along. I’ve been woven into a network of fears, they cross back and forth over my head, they close me in like an enormous web spun by a spider in the reeds, black and precise, malefically beautiful. This net of fears, this geometric pattern, I go on weaving it too without knowing why, without understanding it. I would like to decipher a small end of it at least, a point in the web, so as to go along unwinding the infernal plot, but I’m not permitted that either. Some of my dearest friends have been… running all kinds of risks, and here I am messing around, talking about a spiderweb that entraps me, putting myself into poetic images. The worst thing is that I can glimpse it so clearly, something woven by clusters of black spiders, crouching in wait for their prey, a broad, mile-wise web with us as the prey, and the spiders too.
This is a picture of a wall at the OLTL studio back in 95. My picture is the one on the right, 3rd up from the bottom. These pictures were up at the studio because the stage manager wanted to show everyone who they were talking to online. In those days, with AOL, people at the studio got to talk to us, even the actors would stop by the chat room.Edited by: Ladyeevil at: 11/21/03 4:51 pm
