SoapBoards Member Spotlight

[Perdita]

Let Abbie know that you are willing to be put into the spotlight and she will let everybody know on here when it is your turn. We then pm Abbie with any questions we have for you by Wednesday which she then passes on to you. The questions and answers get put on here on a Friday, as long as Abbie has the time

[Meh]

That's now 31 questions to be submitted by Hannelene...

I am trying to think how personal these questions are going to be. 30 general questions is an awful lot for one person, unless they're the "tea or coffee?" type.

nah, tis ok. Anything too personal will be answered in my own unique way

Its the first verse of a song does that count, its from The River by Garth Brooks

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you

Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores
