		<description><![CDATA[By the time I started high school, I had pretty much decided I was going to perform in Broadway musicals.

Theatre has always been an important part of my life and always will [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jessicaruano.wordpress.com&amp;blog=447446&amp;post=2762&amp;subd=jessicaruano&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Then my allergies included horses. Then dogs. And most recently &#8216;tree fruit&#8217; such as peaches, plums, cherries&#8230; and hazelnuts. Tragic, I know. I had considered allergy shots, but it&#8217;s no overnight process, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jessicaruano.wordpress.com&amp;blog=447446&amp;post=2746&amp;subd=jessicaruano&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Today at 2:30pm I went to see one of my favourite film actors, Natascha McElhone. Most people would probably recognize her as Jim Carrey&#8217;s love interest in The Truman Show.
