Welcome back, gentle readers! :) It's good to have you here.
We all watch soaps here. It's something we all have in common or we wouldn't bother getting registered for these things. Likely we all have a favorite soap star (or several). I know *I* certainly do. I'm a Steve Burton and Rebecca Herbst fan. I admit it. I like them together and I like them on their own as well. (And I'm not worried about who dislikes them, because it doesn't change my Op towards them one way or another.)
Ever thought it was impossible to approach a soap star without getting a dose of inflated ego or bad attitude tossed in your face?
I used to. I mean, come on, these are famous people I see every weekday, in that 20-something" box in my livingroom. They're beautiful people, most of them, and their job is to persuade me to be attentive to a story that they're trying to tell through their acting. Sometimes I find myself relating to parts of the stories, sometimes I just use it as an escape... Ever find yourself in a similar situation? I bet you have.
But who honestly thinks about actually making -friends- with these people? I mean, something beyond a one-time fan letter experience. Actual friends? With a soap star? -What?- Ideas like that are completely outside the box for some people. I feel bad for those people. They're missing out.
Well I've decided to re-design the box! Haha, so there! *shakes fist at conventionality*
Soap stars are people too. What person doesn't want to be praised when they work hard at their job, regardless of whom they're playing? Seriously!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've decided that the cast of GH are my friends. (Not like some bunny-slipper wearing sleep-over-having bff, but as contemporaries I can admire for doing a job I wish I had the guts to pursue.)
See, when you treat someone like they're already your friend, they rapidly become exactly that. So!...What are we waiting for? :)
Any questions? Feel free to ask or respond.
Thank you for reading,
me.
p.s. I've recently sent my first fan mail to both Steve and Rebecca. We shall see what transpires.
