Doree says,"I'm not sure, but your computer might be possessed! lol"
ShadowKat says,"not possessed it HATES her"
marina says,"have I got to try and figure out who you all are again"
marina says,"I truly believe that the computer knows my feelings and acts accordingly"
Doree says,"Marina, have your ever seen Eddie Izard"
marina says,"are any of you going to be in Utrecht for the con "
ShadowKat says,""Some of us are planning on attending the Valley Forge Convention in May. Is there any chance that you might hold a gathering for your fans during this time?""

Psycho_Bitch says,"Marina, when are you going to be in Utrecht and for what?"
marina says,"Utrecht is in Holland and I will be there the 24 & 25 sept"
CreepyMathilda says,"you're still allowed to smoke in the Netherlands? Cool!!!!"
Doree says,"Marina, how did your Spectres session go at Grand Slam?"
marina says,"Don't encourage me to smoke as I'm having a hard time quitting after my trip to athens"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"One of my teachers once said "Smoking's stupid - you should eat chocolate instead" + I agree with her"
marina says,"The panel was a bit of a bust as everyone was so serious "
marina says,"problem is I'm doing cigs and chocolate"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"Chocolate tastes better than smoking though"
Psycho_Bitch says,"Marina, I know you just got back and all, but you mentioned in the chat in December that E-star was going to revamp the forum in January, they didn't...anything you know about this?"
marina says,"that's a matter of opinion"
marina says,"Sorry but EMS haven't divulged anything"
ShadowKat says,"@Marina you said in you december chat, that i missed, you resolution was to get a nice steady job why don't you screen test for Strong Medicine: First Respose they only have 2 actors so far"
marina says,"I'm going to see patricks play in London ...will let you know how it is"
Psycho_Bitch says,"Which play is he doing now?"
marina says,"He's doing a david Mamet.. don't know the name"
marina says,"I'm sure my agent submits me for everything but roles for aging actresses are scarce boo hoo lol"
Psycho_Bitch says,"time for some silly questions I guess... @Marina; do you often talk to yourself?"
marina says,"I catch myself talking to myself all the time. But what's really worrying is that I join in total strangers conversations"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"@Marina: When you say "talking to yourself", do you mean "thinking out loud", or having conversations with yourself??"
Doree says,"Aging, my a**! For one thing, you look much better than any of the "younger" actresses and you have much more talent than they do. I would love to see you on any of the Law & Order series as a lawyer or some psycho serial killer!"
marina says,"Conversations. What does that mean?"
marina says,":Law and Order in all it's incarnations is my fave show. Problem is they cast out of NYC"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"Still, it'd be cool to act on a show you love (I'd imagine so anyway)"
marina says,"I'm sure I will one day"
Bilbi says,"@MArina, is there any current tv show you'd like to take part in???"
marina says,"L&O"
Doree says,"Actually, the neatest show to be on would be CSI, the original. I can see you on that one easily."
ShadowKat says,"ooh I thought of a question...."What do you do if you are sick and filming a movie or show? and i mean sick?""
marina says,"Problem is Doree I'm not good with props lol"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"@Marina: talking of Andromeda, have you ever seen it and if so, do you like it?"
Bilbi says,"@Marina, what do u think of the cancelation of Enterprise???"
marina says,"If you can walk you go in to work .If you're bedridden the alter the sked.On the first day of Insurrection I put my back out but had to work anyway"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"I only started watching Andromeda because I heard Majel Barrett/Roddenberry (Lwaxana, of course) was involved with it somehow [one of the Executive Producers]"
marina says,"Majel was a producer on Andromeda and I had a bit of a problem with Enterprise...it didn't grab me"
Doree says,"Counting my plans to watch the finale, only because Marina's in it, I've seen Enterprise two times. One too many for my taste."
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"@Marina: what did you think of Andromeda, though, or have you never watched it?"
marina says,"Well, don't say that I told you that Jonathan and I are in the last episode"
CreepyMathilda says,"share some more, Marina?????"
marina says,"I never saw Andromeda"
D._Destiny says,"How are you two pulling off looking so much younger? (I think you could probably do it, but Jonathan???)"
marina says,"Weeeeeeelllll.....the story is really an episode of TNG but you didn't hear that from me"
D._Destiny says,"nothing new there :p Come on Marina, try harder to surprise us :p"
CreepyMathilda says,"we have to wait a looong time to see that episode anyway..."
CreepyMathilda says,"you can spoil us a bit"
Doree says,"Our lips are sealed."
marina says,"OK it's set in the time of TNG"
D._Destiny says,"Did you get to wear the Big Black Curls again? I've missed those (and such a minor spoiler!)"
marina says,"Actually all my wigs had dissappeared ..so the hair is not great"
Bilbi says,"@Marina, does that mean that Troi and Riker aren't married in that episode? *confused*"
marina says,"Were not even dating"
marina says,"It seems that you all know too much already"
D._Destiny says,"I still think Deanna should've dated Picard *g*"
marina says,"I think I'm too old for Picard LOL"
ShadowKat says,"Ok so you had 2 major leading men Riker and Worf[nausating as it was] who was the better kisser Frakes or Dorn"
D._Destiny says,"@Marina, I hear you're going to be in Utrecht? Now I'm sure you know softdrugs are considered legal here. have you ever tried a joint? And would you consider trying one? *angel*"
marina says,"A lady does not kiss and tell"
ShadowKat says,"Well look at the bright side Marina there are at least 5 sites about you and they say your birthday was in 1960 but that's our secret"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"@Marina: I bet you were pleased that Tottenham won on Saturday [although I'm sure my dad wasn't as he supports Manchester City, who Spurs beat...]"
marina says,"I'm pleading the 5th on the pot issue"
marina says,"I've been almost happy with Spurs this year"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"...but then I've brought up to believe Spurs are evil"
marina says,"Then you must be an Arsenal fan"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"I don't mean to frighten anyone with this thought but my mum was born in 1960..."
ShadowKat says," they just think they know everything but hey 1960 is fine by me as long as i can be younger too"
marina says,"Shadow don't make me come after you lol"
D._Destiny says,"My mom's from 1955"
ShadowKat says,"my mom 1955 and had 4 kids by the time she was my age and i dont have any yet she keeps saying give me a grandchild Kate your sister already has 3 by the time she was your age"
Bilbi says,"1955... a nice round age this year"
Doree says,"It was a special year, Disneyland popped out and so did I. lol"
marina says,"ok ok you're all making me feel really old .Can we change the subject?"
Kat says,"hey, it's my birthday today, so I'm feeling old :P"
marina says,"Haapy b/day Kat..fellow Aries or Pisces"
ShadowKat says,"me i look 18 Kate Mulgrew asked me if I was old enough to drink in 2001 befoer she bought me a drink and I had to show her my liscense to show that I was 22"
marina says,"Yeah like Kate did'nt drink before 21....did I say that out loud???"
Bilbi says,"@Marina, we miss your posts on the board. any chance you'll post again soon???"
marina says,"I was really crazed for a while but things are quieter now"
Betazoid3 says,"Had any strange dreams lately marina?"
Betazoid3 says,"Also, if you could play any goddess from mythology in a movie, who would it be?"
marina says,"I've been having anxiety dreams but that's probably cos my mom was sick. She's much better now"
marina says,"I think I'd like to be Athena cos she was smart"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"@Marina: I dreamt I saw you being interviewed on TV a few nights ago..."
Bilbi says,"@Marina, how are your pets doing?"
marina says,"Well I would have been possibly interviewed if I had been on Enterprise lol"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"Does the new dog's name mean anything (in Greek or otherwise)?"
marina says,"Puka as in shell it's Hawaiian I think"
D._Destiny says,"@Marinal if there was one thing you could change about Michael and Skilaki, what would it be?"
marina says,"I would give Skilaki back his eyesight and Michael is just perfect... except he could be tidier"
CreepyMathilda says,"a tidy man is a too gay to be good"
ShadowKat says,"why? sex is just sex my mother gets so embarrased when i say sex out loud like nothing she's like "shh don't say that just say doing it"
marina says,"Brent is a very tidy person and he's not gay"
marina says,"Yes sex has become a 4 letter word in the US"

marina says,"Irony is wasted on the net"
D._Destiny says,"No thanks to Bush I'm sure. Next you know all unmarried women have to wear chastitybelts"
marina says,"D DEstiny , they're probably debating that as we speak"
marina says,"since everyone is so scared that they'll upset the wrong ppl"
D._Destiny says,"Marina what's your view on the Scavio thing?
marina says,"If I was living life as little more than a veggie ... I would'nt want to go on"
D._Destiny says,"*lol* that;s the first chatroom that discriminates against men! First think I like about this chatroom *coughs*"
D._Destiny says,"I wouldn't want either. I'm too much of a veggie as it is, any more and I'd kill myself"

St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"@Marina - subject: do you like any of the following bands/artists? *REM *Guns n Roses *Shania Twain *Evanescence *Alanis Morissette *Foo Fighters *Eurythmics/Annie Lennox"
marina says,"This is a lesson to all of us. We should write down our wishes no matter how young we are "
marina says,"Not crazy about REM ..like the others tho"
Doree says,"Good advice, Marina. If people do have living wills, they should give copies of them to numerous people so their wishes will be known and followed."

marina says,"Can you play the piano with just 2 fingers?"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"@Marina: I read somewhere once that 'Sirtis' is pronounced 'Sir-tay'. Is that true?, because I've never heard it said that way. If so, is that a Greek pronunciation?"
Fred27 says,"BTW, Marina, do you have a baby grand piano in your house?"

marina says,"Beta we will have a gathering"
St*r_aka_Princess_Deanna says,"Did everything just disappear from the chat window for anyone else or was it just my computer being awkward?" Betazoid3 says,"Where? When? How?"

marina says,"Destiny you are not ugly!!"
