So apparently this weird chest pain I’ve been having has a name. It’s called pericarditis, and basically it just means “inflammation around the heart”. Not too serious, it’s probably just viral. Nothing I really have to worry about.
The odd news, though, is that my heart is way abnormal. It functions just fine, but I guess there’s a valve in the heart that has three divided sections. They call it the tricuspid valve.

Three sections.

Yeah, that’s right. I have a bicuspid in my heart. Which makes me think I have a tooth in my aorta. Fun stuff.
Apparently this is crazy rare. A full 98-99% of the population have a tricuspid valve, not a bicuspid valve.
You know what that means, right?

Because I can’t figure out ask boxes/messages/how to post gifs in those. Yes. You may laugh at me. It’s okay.

Later today, I’ll be volunteering at Lemon:NYC, held at Industria Super Studios near Jonathan Waxman’s restaurant Barbuto. He’s hosting this event, as he’s been a guest at the L.A. counterpart to this event, called L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade. The first L.A. event was held last year, and I was their speaker. I’m an Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) Ambassador, and I happened to be out in L.A. visiting my aunt and uncle when they held this event. I literally had a week’s notice to write a speech and prepare, but I did it because this event looked to be amazing. Famous chefs from all over the country came to support the charity. They all had their own little booths and crafted small plates of their own dishes for guests to enjoy. It was unbelievable.
So I’m really excited to go tonight to this NY event. I love it for about a billion reasons: One, it’s in NYC. Two, it’s for ALSF, which is extremely special to me since I know the founders and have my own tie to it. Three, it’s held by Jonathan Waxman, who I met at the L.A. event and completely adore now. Just look at his awesome lemon pants!

LOL! I wasn’t expecting that one, BUT a spoonful of sugar DOES help the medicine go down. And supercalifragilisticexpialidocious IS a fabulous word.
I think the fans and I work well together because we began our relationship with TV instead of sex, so it always feels like the spark is still there. Also, we can never take each other for granted, because neither of us ever really knows if the other will be there next week.
We cherish every second we have together, which is easy for me, because our fans are the smartest, sweetest, most creative people in the world. They are the people who, in spite of their intelligence, believe, deep down, that humanity doesn’t give itself enough credit.
It was a terrible business decision to write a show for the “smart and nice” demographic. I may as well have written for three-legged unicorns. But this show stopped being about business the moment I saw my first Community fan video on YouTube.
And it wasn’t about business when the fans voted for us to be on the cover of TV Guide Magazine. They’ve been with our show for triumphs and they’ve been there when NBC asked us to cast Hilary Duff, and they’ve decided that the benefits are worth the risks.
That’s love. It’s definitely mutual. Our fans give my life an order and a value that it has never had before, and will never have again.
