Star @ soapcentral.com 
I just know Tess is putting a plan in motion when she gave Natalie & Jared the roses from Nash's funeral. I for one can't wait to see it. I am alittle surprised by Star's reaction to pregnancy. She did the 'deed' & now she wants to give the baby away on Cole? It's not like she's alone like him. It's not like her family doesn't have money. I want to see Cole do the right thing.Poor Marcie? !Where's the 'old' Micharl? Lindsey, Bo, Nora- it's like a time warp same with Todd & Marty! Come on. Let's see Rex happy for once.
See me athttp://jomaluza.blogs4me.com/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.

NASA Shuttle to Launch Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber
When the space shuttle Discovery launches the STS-120 astronaut crew in October, the force will be with them.
Stowed on-board the orbiter, in addition to a new module for the International Space Station, will be the original prop lightsaber used by actor Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in the 1977 film "Star Wars". The laser-like Jedi weapon is being flown to the orbiting outpost and back in honor of the 30th anniversary of director George Lucas' franchise.
Before it can make its trip to orbit though, the lightsaber will first fly to Houston, Texas, home of NASA's Johnson Space Center, by way of Southwest Airlines and a Star Wars-studded send off from Oakland International Airport in California on Tuesday.
Chewbacca, the towering Wookiee best known from the film as Han Solo's co-pilot on the Millennium Falcon, will officially hand the lightsaber over to officials from Space Center Houston during a ceremony at the airport. Joining "Chewie" will be other characters from the six-part sci-fi classic, including Boba and Jango Fett and together they help push back the airplane on the tarmac.
Once on the ground in Houston, the flight will be greeted by a troop of Stormtroopers and other Star Wars notables including the droid R2-D2, who will deliver the lightsaber to a waiting line of Hummers outside the baggage claim of the William P. Hobby Airport. Accompanied by a police escort, the soon-to-be real space artifact will be driven to Space Center Houston to be exhibited inside a vault that currently displays moon rocks.
Space Center Houston, as the official visitor center for NASA's Johnson Space Center, plans to publicly display the lightsaber through Labor Day, after which it will be prepared for its launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The lightsaber is scheduled to depart California at 10:40 a.m. PDT and arrive in Texas at 4:20 p.m. CDT according to a release jointly issued Monday by Southwest Airlines, Space Center Houston and Lucasfilm.
Editorial: Is that NOT the geekiest thing you've ever read? I mean, I know it's 6am and I haven't been able to sleep yet, but the bar on my dork-o-meter is set pretty high. I love Star Trek. I love Star Wars. I love Battlestar Galactica. I loved the X-files. I was a freakin' mathlete. But dang -- that is just....DORKY. It's nerdiness of epic proportions, right down to the "Star Wars characters" passing the damned thing off like it was the Olympic torch.
