In many ways I find it hard to picture Josette developing into this woman. Perhaps PT people were different! Anyway, I've always liked this older Josette.
Way back when I first signed on at the SciFi Bulletin Boards, I had been reading them at the library for almost half a year. Initially, I intended just to read, not post. But, as time went on, I felt that I was getting to know a lot of the posters and wished I could part of them. When I finally found how to get an e-mail address without having my own connection at home, I excitedly joined in.
I had intended to take a DS name, and of the available ones, Josette seemed the best choice. I think there were various forms of Angelique's name already, and perhaps because I have dark hair, Josette seemed better. None of the other women characters seemed sufficiently interesting.
So, when I first tried to sign up as Josette and discovered there already was one, it was quite a shock. Then I thought of adding the Josettedupres, and for about 7 years now, I've been Josette.
I always think of that in terms of the young woman Barnabas loved. But today, as I was thinking of this older version (as I said, I've always liked her), I decided I was quite pleased to be able to be identified with her as well.
