    What is going on! I am totally chilling at home watching daytime TV. Port Charles is soooo good! Passions sucks. And I’ve been totally featuring Regis and Kelly lately. Pretty sad, isn’t it. Anyway, enough about me. What is up with you!!! I need to know everything about everyone you’ve met. Here’s what I would like to know: Name, Age, Sign, Hair, Personal Style, Body Type (details if they’re hot!), General Description, WhyWe Care, and Other. OK? Got it? I want FULL FRONTAL DETAILS. Get it? Especially DARLA.
    Adios,
    Moi
    PS—And is Darcy dating anyone?
    Another one of tito’s games. he was probably going to line up my chart with theirs or something. I love him. ok …

    Name: Darcy Barnes
    Age: 18
    General Info: She’s darcy barnes. What else do u need to know?
    Sign: you already know that she’s a Sag. even though sometimes she gets confused and says she’s an Aries.
    Hair: blond, even blonder than me, and I’m pretty damn blond lately.
    Personal Style: believe it or not, off- stage she’s a total jock. I’ve yet tosee her in anything other than sweats or workout clothes, although even when she’s in full sweats she somehow manages to get her belly button exposed, front and center. so far I’ve counted four different belly button rings. I wonder how many she has to choose from. I bet she has jewelry designers sending her belly button rings every day. ps the weirdest thing in the world is when she’s just standing there listening to rashid or something, she’s always playing with her belly button, you know, like how some people twirl their hair or how like evan always has his hand down his pants when he’s watching tv or whatever, she just fingers her belly button all the time. ew I said finger. gross huh.
    Body Type: a lot stronger than I expected. kinda like a skier or surfer or something. muscley legs. abs. she’s more like an athlete than a sexpot. didn’t you tell me once that she did gymnastics all the time growing up and stuff? are the boobs real? I don’t know for sure. I’m bad at that stuff. but if they weren’t, would that make getting a nipple pierce less painful? one of these days maybe I’ll ask.
    Why We Care: um, she’s the star.
    Other: I don’t know how else to say this but today darcy barnes asked me if I was a virgin. I was like “WHY??” and she was like “because I AM! do you think that’s good for my career?” tito you would have GAGGED. so anyway you heard it here first. she claims to be a virgin. and believe it or not. I believe it. (maybe it’s her beanie baby collection that’s got me believing.) do we even know any other virgins? (I wonder if this factors into her belief that she’s so scarily like Carrie Bradshaw …)
    Name: Darla Barnes
    Age: she really wants to be 36, but so does my mom. I’d say she’s closing in on 50 fast.
    General Info: you probably know more about her than I do, tito. She’s
