I used to have a little friend (long ago) who could have grown up to be 7of9... Every time I see Jeri Ryan I think of my long lost friend Joanne... I didn't have a lot of friends when I was a kid so got very attached to the ones I did have *SIGH* Funny to think of little Joanne as middle-aged as I am! LOL!

Hmmm. Well, I did grow up near a minor celebrity. Brad Edwards from the Redskins (I don't really follow football, but that was the team I knew him on - I've heard that he's moved on). My step-father actually grew up next door to Shirley Temple though. When he was younger, they actually dated (and stuff). He was from California too. Hmmm. Why couldn't I have been that lucky. Oh yeah, I was an Army Brat and kept moving all the time. That's one of the bennies of getting to stay in one spot for longer than a month, huh? Ah well. I did meet James Doohan (Scotty) back in 91. I saw Walter Koenig too (he was at the same signing, but I didn't go inside. Just caught Scotty when he came outside for a break from the signing. I did get Lou Brock's signature the year after that too, but it was just a mall signing. He signed in gold ink too. I thought that was so cool. Oh yeah, I did meet Dave Justice once at an Atlanta Braves game too, but I don't count that as all we did was pass each other at the batter's box. We didn't talk to each other or anything. He's a lot taller than I thought he was. Ah well, always "just about there" but never there. Well, I hope to change that this year. They have stuff for sale at these things too, so I know I'm gonna enjoy that. I'm taking two weeks off from work so that I can have plenty of time to prepare.
