Michelle Trachtenberg is anything but an ordinary 17-year-old. Currently, the actress plays the mystery-laden character of Buffy's little sister Dawn Summers on UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is perhaps best known for her starring role in Harriet the Spy, opposite Rosie O'Donnell, for which she won the Best Lead Actress in a Feature Film award from Young Artists of Hollywood.

A native New Yorker, Trachtenberg began her acting career at the age of four when she appeared in her first television commercial. Since then, she has appeared in over 100 national spots and in starring roles both in film and on television.

In 1999, Trachtenberg starred opposite Matthew Broderick in the live-action feature film Inspector Gadget. Her other feature credits include roles in the independent films Can't Be Heaven, The Cage and Melissa.

Daytime television fans will remember Trachtenberg from her role as the autistic Lily Montgomery on All My Children, at which time the drama also starred Sarah Michelle Gellar. She was also a series regular on the Nickelodeon series The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Trachtenberg's other television credits include guest starring roles on Meego, Guys Like Us, Figure It Out, Dave's World, Law & Order, Saturday Night Live, Clarissa Explains It All and Space Cases, as well as the television movies A Father's Choice opposite Peter Strauss and Mary McDonnell, and Christmas in Our Home Town with Melissa Gilbert.

For the past seven years, Trachtenberg has been an active spokesperson for R.A.D.D., DARE America, The Starlight Foundation and many others. Her contributions to the fight against drugs earned her the prestigious responsibility of representing the youth of America at CNN's headquarters in Atlanta, where she helped President Clinton launch The Coalition for a Drug Free America campaign.

In her spare time, Michelle enjoys swimming, rollerblading, ice-skating, bicycling and writing short stories.

I have incriminating photos of Alli *evil smirk* and I will keep them in a very safe spot for future blackmail safekeeping.

*pout* Eliza doesn't think I care. I threaten because I care.

Where's Zac? Where's my Buffy crew?

Things have been so crazy for me but you know what? Zac is the sweetest person in the world. Yup. You may think you know someone that holds that title but you'd be wrong. *smiles*

Oh and you know what else? I love you all. <33 :-*

A big old welcome to all the new people! I was terrified that Simon was going to totally diss me but he didn't!

Sarah, we need to try to have another convention. That one was just sad. Where's my Amberrrr? *hands Amberrr a sweatrrr because it's probably cold over therrrrrre* :-* :-*

I'm in a weird mood right now. *clicks update and runs away*

I hope you all watched Buffy tonight. Doesn't Sarah kick ass? :-* Oh and everyone's favorite Nick Brendon really needs to get a journal! I'm so mad that he hasn't yet!

I also watched Smallville and there was absolutely no Alli! That's a crime!

*looks around* Wow. Three people from my and Eliza's list got journals. Eric, Charisma and Matt Damon. Our list has the magic touch, don't you think? *laughs* Now come on to the rest of you on our list!

Edit: And if you haven't noticed, Alli made my journal all pretty and fabulous! I love my Spam mom. :-*

Last night?

Let's see. I was spam ambushed by my spam boyfriend Zac many times, and Eliza and Orli are insane and mean! We could post 600+ comments if we wanted to but we don't! *nods*

Good luck to everyone at the Golden Globes tonight. None of us at Buffy are nominated but Sarah should have been!

*frowns* I think I missed everyone tonight. I was online for awhile and then I wasn't, and when I wasn't I missed Marit, Sarah and Zac. Dammit. It's Friday and I'm home by myself. Yup. *blushes* Hopefully I'll get to talk to Zac later. *grins, crosses fingers* And guess what? Alli and Eliza aren't around right now to tease me about it! HA!

Speaking of people not around, Tom and Orli, where are you? I haven't seen or heard from either of you in a few days. Orli, I hope you didn't break anything else you accident prone spam brother of mine. Tom, I hope you'll let someone know where you are in Canada so we don't have to go and form our own search party to track you down. I know you don't want to talk but again, we're all here to support you.

So I wasn't on at all yesterday. I was thinking of taking a little break from this to get my head straight. But then I missed my friends (that means all of you). So I'm back and my phone's plugged back in. Eliza, I'm going to try to catch you online tonight to tell you "that thing". *nods*

I see my spam brother has been busy spamming people. *clears throat* Ahem. Bring it. *laughs*

Okay so I made some icons for certain people. By no means do any of you have to use them. I will not feel bad if you don't, seriously, so don't feel you have to take one. They're total crap, but I was bored so this is what happened.

Well guess what? I probably shouldn't even say because I don't like to share this kind of stuff but I will anyway. I'm having a really bad day. Bad day meaning I feel like a big blob of depressed Michelle and I don't know why. I just am. Most, if not all of my friends are depressed and you know what? So am I. I just try to hide it from you all and be this always happy person but I can't anymore. I wish I knew why I was this upset, but I don't. I have no reason to be.

I just...nevermind. Forget all this. It didn't happen and I'm fine.

*points to Alyssa's journal*

Tom is the spam King, Alli is the spam Queen (though she doesn't know it yet) and Orli and I are the spam Prince and Princess. Alyssa is our spam Aunt and takes care of us when spam Dad abandons us to "cook". We have our problems but we're a very loving spam family that does not eat Spam!

*sighs* It's been a good day. *blushes* I doubt there's anyone left who doesn't know by now. If not, go look at Zac's journal. *smiles*

I just wish more of my friends were happy. It makes me really upset to see them all just... not happy. *frowns*

But okay, like I promised before. I have two questions for all of you out there.
The first one is: Can any of you do a handspring?

The second is just for the guys and is for the sake of all my single girls: How many of you are straight?

*rolls out of bed FAR too early*

Okay... yeah. *yawns* Apparently, the Three Spam-keteers (Alli, Marit and myself) are getting requests for our spamming talents. Crap. And I didn't forget Eliza, but she's the Queen Comment Whore so she gets her own title. *laughs* I'm going out now, but I shall be back later. How about this, if you want us to come and kill your journal, post a comment in one of our journals or something. So far I see Taylor, Rachael and Kristen... who else? When I say "kill your journal", I do mean kill, as in 150+ comments. Can you take it? Can your email inbox take it? Can you keep up? (l couldn't! *laughs*)

*tries to keep eyes open* I have to go out... yes I do. I'll get you all later!

*yawns* How are my partners in crime doing? *laughs*

Happy New Years Day! From the looks of it, I'm sure a lot of you are spending the day recovering. ;) Let's see, I slept the whole day away, and then watched TV for awhile. There's a season one Buffy marathon on FX and I've been watching that. Everyone looks so young! ...and short. *smirks* I'm not in those episodes so it's not like I'm watching myself or anything. *nods*

*looks around*

Where my girls at?

Oh and HAPPY (almost) NEW YEAR!

Everyone's going places tonight but this girl is staying home. I want to! I'm going to sit back and watch quite a few of you guys on MTV! Have fun tonight everyone.
