I was born and raised catholic so maybe it is a bit diffrent for me but, he was a very important man. I think the media tries to find things that will get there channel the most coverage. I think that when he died it was a reason to celebrate because he was going to a better place. But what I find interesting is the fact that a few years ago when princess diana and mother theresa died who did the media cover more. Princess diana, she was front page and yet mother theresa was a side spot. Anyway I think the media goes with what sells and that is what a lot of people want to hear. The fact that there are millions of catholics in the world make it a selling story and ...well...you gotta stick with what sells. (I don't mean that in a bad way, but thats how it is)

Things as usual were starting to get bad. It seemed as if the cmo was infected and Miranda was about to say something when she had been called away. She had gone to help and engineer she had come to know as Fitzgerald Brighton. She didn't know him well but had seen him a few times in sickbay. He was in the early stages she thought but didn't want to alarm anyone. Vectra had helper her get him back to the medical center, but not before the two had showed her the sewage facilities. At the time she didn't think anything of it. Vectra seemed fine but she could not be sure how long he would stay that way, or herself for that matter. As she helped Fitz sit down she felt a light bulb go on. "That's it!" she thought. She had to find Dr Knlwtchr. She asked Vectra to watch Fitz till she got back and hurried off. Her mind was racing "the plague on earth....mutate.....insects...."She was trying to put it all together. "No... but yes...dirty water..it spread.." She entered the room and looked for the Dr. hoping to find her still well.

Log, #2 Desdemona had come into sickbay that day and realized she was the only doctor due in. It seemed like a normal day. She had checked up on a experiment she had been working on wrote a few logs, nothing of great importance. Or so she thought. The captain had called a yellow alert and asked all the department heads to report to his ready room. Desdemona thought nothing of it till the captain had call her and asked her to join them, apparently the cmo had other matter keeping him busy. She felt a little awkward and she headed off to the ready room. She walked on to the bridge (which was her first time) and noticed how lovely it was. When she entered the ready room she could feel everyone's confusion and curiosity. She stood towards the back of the room and listened waiting for what was to come.

Lets see.... I started taking a carpool home from school in 1st grade (so like 89/90) my parents didn't get home till later. So I was left to my own devices, meaning one of the few things that was on was star trek. I would catch reruns of TOS and the few TNG that were playing. Then later on at night after dinner there was a new episode of TNG. I kinda fell in love with that cast cause I grew up watching them. So thats my story.

I was at Disneyland the other day and I sat down on a ride behind a girl. I noticed a tattoo on the back of her neck of a TNG communicator. I thought it was a really interesting tattoo. So I wanted to know if you (meaning anyone who reads this) were going to get a star trek inspired tatto, what would it be and where would you get it? I think I would get the communicator on my neck.

Desdemona picked up the picture of her family and looked at it. She carefully placed it in the suit case. Then she picked up the last thing. a picture of her friends Meghan and Jonas, an interesting pair she thought. The two had become her family over the last few years. She would miss them on the new ship. Lovingly she placed the picture with the rest. Picking up her suit case and her last plant she exited the room. As she walked down the hall she dropped her mental wall to feel the crew one last time. Although she was only partially empathic she still had to keep up mental walls. She closed her mind once again and continued down the hall. She started to think of the future and wondered what life would be like on the new ship, the Agincourt. She gripped her plant a little tighter and entered the transporter room. She nodded at the women in the room. "Are you ready?"the women asked. "Yes...and Meghan don't forget.." Meghan rolled her eyes "I know, water my plant. Always with the plants" Desdemona stepped on the padd. "Well Meg it's been fun, but if I don't go now I will never want to." "Have fun" was the last thing she could make out before she reappeared on the transport ship.

Well I didn't like the preview as much as I thought I would. But that doesn't mean I am not gonna see the movie. For some reason the movies always come out on my birthday so I am forcing all my friend to see it with me as birthday gifts ::evil laugh:: even if they don't want to.

I think that the smokers and non-smokers of the world could live in peace. I smoke, but I make it a point not to smoke around children (like my nephews) and somtimes old people (mostly because my grandma starts to say thing under her breath in spanish, which she knows I understand). Most smokers try not to upset others who don't smoke. all my friends will make sure its ok if they lite up around others. What I dislike is when the non-smokes will walk by me and start to do the fake (are you trying to kill me) hacking noise. Most of the time I will be standing in the corner behind a building blowing my smoke at the wall and they still walk by me and give those looks like "you are killing yourself". I don't get, will someone please explain it to me.

I'm a smoker Images. In TNG didn't someone smoke in one of the Dixon Hill scenes. One of the crew that is. Anyway I think we will still have smoking rights in the future. Trek teaches the idea of tolerance and isn't letting me slowly kill my lungs my choice and shouldn't others respect my rights. Just a thought.

Medical Officer Miranda Porter stardate 0502.13 Miranda watched everyone in sickbay as she quietly stood up and slipped into one of the back labs. She needed a moment. As she sat down on the floor by herself she thought this was suppose to be an easy day. It wasn't going that way so far. There was an upsetting letter from her mother, once she got to sickbay she had to things weren't looking up. She had tried to calm down the blind helmsmen who had knocked over half of sickbay, then there was the engineer yelling about the voices in his head, not to mention the medical emergency. And if that wasn't enough she had talked back to Dr Knlwtchr, she felt so stupid. Something was going on, people seemed to be loosing their minds and the sickbay crew couldn't figure out why. In fact she felt as if she were loosing it. As she sat looking at the floor she started to tell herself "keep it together....why can't I do this, I was an actress I know my emotions, heck I trained as a counselor. This is not you, get it together" she kept repeating it to herself as she started to cry. It frustrated her she yelled in her head "stop it stop it now, you need to get back to work. Control yourself and help people. That's your job" She forced herself to stop crying as she stood up. Suddenly she felt dizzy. She braced herself on the nearest table as she waited for it to pass.

Miranda sat in the lab staring at Ranko's blood sample. It would take her a few hours to find out the results of the test. As she watched the computer screen her mind started to wander. She thought about Ranko's offer about the meditation and debated if she should take her up on it. After all it couldn't hurt to make a new friend. She missed her family and other then Aaron and the dishy engineer Vectra she hardly knew anyone. She made up her mind she would try and meet some people on the ship and make friends. That shouldn't be hard she thought as she pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from her lab coat. She carefully unfolded it and quickly glanced over all the noted on it till she found an empty space. She thought for a second and wrote "Friends. Tell me what company you keep and I'll tell you what you are." Satisfied she put the paper away and looked around. Noticing she was still the only one in the room she turned her thoughts back to her work. "don't think, just work" she told herself with a sigh.

oh boy I love birthdays. Happy Birthday Moose!! I was making cupcakes today so I will make and extra one for you. ::hands Moose a cupcake with a candle in it::

I think that celebs deaths comes in 3's. Dangerfield, Janet Leigh (from psycho, and mother of Jamie Leigh Curtis) and..... I know someone is next but I don't know who.

I didn't mean that I like the distruction of earthquakes, I just think its kinda a rush. I have seen the devistation that they cause and its so sad. I also think its interesting to see people in earthquakes who have never been in one.

I love earthquakes. Not that they are good or anything I just think they are fun. I was in LA when the Northridge one hit so I was pretty close. I was on the top bunk in my cousins room. I jumped off or well fell off is more like it and got under a desk. it was interesting to say the least. Anyway I feel your pain or should I say shaking. I just thought I'd give my two cents on earthquakes.

welcome. If you want to know when the academies are look at the schedule page. I hope to see you around.

hahaha. I loved it that just made my day. Thanks
