Danielle,

you make my life worth living!

hey Danielle, i just joined your forum today because today is my 18th birthday.
PS I think you are really pretty.

Well, I watched the two-hour premiere of Legend of the Seeker on WGN America this evening, Danielle, and I thought it was good. Some parts were a little cheesy here, a little convenient there, but it was enjoyable overall. The acting was decent and the action was good. And I like the actress who's playing Kahlan, hehe. I experienced some Déjà vu, too - it was like I was back in the '90s watching Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess all over again (LOTS is filmed in New Zealand, too, and is made by the same producers and even features some of the same cast members). I haven't read the books, though; I'm gonna have to do that.

yah.. i think she really is.. but why isnt she 'ur type'?!.. n most importantly.. hehe.. whts ur type??!

Its been a while since I did the genealogy party trick, so here goes:
Prez-Elect Barack Obama isn't the 1st member of his extended family to run for or achieve high office. His 3rd cousin 2x removed was James Madison; his 4th cousin 3x was Lyndon Johnson; his 7th cousin 3x is Jimmy Carter; and his 11th cousin 1x is George W. Bush. He's also related to Dick Cheney (9th cousins once removed) and Sarah Palin (10th cousins). Even within the Senate he's related to a colleague, Evan Bayh (11th cousins). Beyond politics, he's a 10th cousin 1x of Warren Buffett; Samuel A. Maverick (the Texas rancher who refused to brand his cattle) & James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok were Barack's 6th cousins 6x removed. There are others, of course, including a good percentage of the Senate from both sides of the aisle (i.e., Orrin Hatch, Susan Collins, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Harry Reid, Jay Rockefeller, Gordon Smith, and Senators -elect Mark & Tom Udall), and a good number of former presidents, from Washington to the defender of slaves of The Amistad, John Quincy Adams, and on into the 20th Century with TR, FDR & Nixon. He's even related to Britt Hume from Fox News (8th cousins twice removed), as well as Anderson Cooper & Arwa Damon from CNN, A.B. Stoddard of The Hill newspaper & MSNBC, Katie Couric from CBS, Charles Gibson from ABC and Bob Woodward of The Washington Post. Its a very big, extended family!

I'm happy for you that your guy won. I didn't vote for McCain or Obama by the way. Without getting into a big political discussion, what do you consider putting the nation "back to the way it should be"? Just curious. I'm not happy with the way things have been going either, but I've lost my faith in politicians to do anything about it. Your post on the board didn't offend me and shouldn't have offended anyone else. You're entitled to your opinion and whether I agree or not doesn't effect how I feel about you personally

I'm happy, too. But I'm also still worried about the reactions in some quarters.

You're very welcome sweetheart! I'm glad you liked it I read that you enjoy getting cards from people, and knowing that Halloween was your favorite holiday, I thought I would send you something. Truth be told, I didn't even know that they made Halloween cards until I went to the store! Talk about out of touch...sheeesh (LOL!). I'm also glad that you voted today. I just got back from voting (no line at all....sweet!). We probably have slightly different political views, but everyone needs to have a say in the future. I have deep concerns about both of the major party's candidates, but I hope whoever wins puts the best interests of the nation first.

Ahh to dance the night away with you would be a dream come true!

About meeting in person as mentioned in this Video Log ("Have I ever been spotted by one of my Fans?")

Oh, how I would like to meet you in person. Too bad, I'm living some 5.500 Miles away from Phoenix.
So my chances walking in on you are fairly slim - except may be at another of your visits in Germany ...

[dreaming ...]
