So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

My counting is rubbish; checking again I think this is top-level comment number 26...

Yes! I made it onto page 2! \o/ Chocolate all round to celebrate!

What can I say? We are good, baby!

We are indeed! Have I mentioned my great love of Uhura to you? (Your icon made me think of it.) It isn't just Uhura the character I love, though, I am so impressed by the actess Nichelle Nichols as well. Have you read her autobiography? I found it fascinating, with all the things she has done before and after Star Trek.

I have it standing on the bookshelf, right above my bed. I admire that woman, she's brave and beautiful and brutally honest.

Have you seen her in "Heroes"? Or in that old movie, where she played that Dorina or whatever she was called?

[solanpolarn.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did see her in Heroes, her and George Takei both! I really loved the first season of that show, but somehow it lost me at the start of the second...

After reading her autobiography, I have had great trouble liking anything about William Shatner; I never was that fond of Captain Kirk in the first place, but I usually try to remember that actors are different from their characters and give them a chance even if they play someone I don't like. But Nichols tales of Shatner's behaviour just made really dislike the man, and I haven't seen anything of him to really contradict that.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

We are in complete agreement about Shatner. I liked him when I saw him in T.J. Hooker, but I was a young girl back then, and that was just a stereotypical cop show. Every other role he'd ever played was a jerk. Including Kirk. I guess he simply played himself.

It has got to the point where I actively avoid watching things with him in it.

And in other news: The threads have started collapsing on this page, too. Hurrah! Chocolates all around!
