I have little doubt that StyleBlazer is trying to make the point wherever possible that the black person of the two looks younger. That seems in line with their thang.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It just occurred to me that I was just as fannishly attached and completely nerdy about soap operas as people who are not me are about comic books. I can tell you storylines from soap operas I didn't even watch! I could give you the Spaulding, Bauer and Lewis family trees. I remember when the actors changed. Mine are gone now, although I guess I could go back to Days of Our Lives. I haven't watched it since 1986, but I still recognize characters! The last time I tried to watch it, they were doing this horrible internal monologue voiceover that drove me insane!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Heh. I totally remember Sherry Stringfield from GL. Edit: "Christina 'Blake' Bauer Thorpe Lindsay Spaulding Spaulding"!!!
Me too! And now I'm missing GL again.

I still miss the Bauer Barbeque (even though the one that happened after they got rid of the Bauer house set was really unpleasant).

Soaps were completely my fandom when I was young, and when I first started using the internet it was to look for soap fan sites. I was a Guiding Light and an As The World Turns fan when I was younger, with occasional All My Children watching if I was home sick from school. Then when Michael Zaslow was sick and moved to One Life to Live, I gave up ATWT for OLTL. And started watching AMC religiously again when GL was canceled. Now all four of them are gone, and I get my soap fix from General Hospital, which I had never watched before, but I followed some of the OLTL characters there.

I am still mad at myself for discarding (maybe 3 years ago) my collection of video tapes of ATWT and GL. I think I had every episode from about 1986 - 1991-- maybe longer. I could have put them up on youtube!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We should probably take this to the F2F thread.
Okay, heading there now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, wow. An actor I've worked with is competing in the Paralympics. [link]

Neat. I remember her from that show at the Goodman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I freaking love the Paralympics.
ION, I finally did my piece of the reviews of my boss and another coworker! I kind of wish/hope my boss asked some other people for feedback on me, but wasn't confident enough to request it. Ah well.
