GIRLIE UPDATE: Introducing... Mr. Welling

It happened during winter term when I was working the early shifts. One evening at home I was flipping through the channels and discovered a T.V. show called Smallville. No, it wasn't the fine looking Clark Kent that made me stop channel surfing -- it was the exotic look of Lana Lang, aka Ms. Kruek. I kept thinking she's so beautiful! I wonder if she's part Asian like me?

The show on screen happened to be the first episode of the series and I was hooked. I watched a couple more episodes since there was a Smallville marathon going on. I eventually fell in love with the Clana love relationship and have been a devoted fan since.

It helped that one of Aaron's airport co-workers is a die hard Superman fan -- he let me borrow his Smallville DVD collection. I was so obsessed I couldn't stop watching the DVDs! I would come home and watch 4 episodes back-to-back. I would stay up until 5 a.m., hurting the next morning due to lack of sleep. But I couldn't stop! I had to know what was going to happen in the next episode. And I wanted Clark and Lana to get together!

I eventually caught up with the series and have videotaped each Thursday episode so I can watch it when I get home from work. Now I own the first 3 seasons of the series!

It was fate that I would eventually find Mr. W. a very hot man! He now graces my computer's screensaver...

Musical alert... Miss Saigon
