17 years ago on this very day, the very first episode of a show that changed my life aired. "Sins of the Past", the very first episode of Xena Warrior Princess filled the airways. Almost a year to the day, on Sept. 3, 1996, I met some chick named Turayis online. In channel xenafan on IRC. 16 years later I still have my Bard.
If that wasn't amazing enough, Turayis' book was released today in stores. Today is the official release/laydown date. What are the chances?! That a girl from a small town in Ohio, Piqua, which sounds sort of like Gabrielle's hometown Potedia, would leave her home to follow me around. Me, A girl born in a city that starts with the same letter as Xena's birth place, Amphipolis. Who knew that girl would end up actually becoming a Bard, just like her hero on TV? Pretty cool stuff. I can't believe these two dates happened to coincide.
