I'm sorry for being OT, finally as usual... I'd like to know your answer to one grammar question. The native English speakers, please, can you tell me what's the precise difference between the usage of the Posssessive Genitive Case and Of-genitive? Usually the possessive is expressed with of when the possessor is not alive (the top floor of the building, the base of the statue as opposed to Lynne's floor, Lynne's statue.) great explanation of Of-genitive here: azargrammar.com/teacherTalk/blog/tag/of-genitive/ |

Gelly, that will not be a problem because we have all become our screen names and respond to them! (I am serious) Not a problem at all - I've been answering to "Coke" for years now. It's very hard to remember both names, especially when we've "known" someone by their screen name for so long. When in groups, we sometimes tend to call people by their real name only if their screen name has a lot of syllables or is hard to pronounce. |

A cute new A & S fan video (pics, tweets & quotes).  Although instead of calling it "one year" it could be called 1,5 years (today).  ETA: Congrats HSM!!  Thank you Blueberry!  Almost the whole lovestory  1,5 years has gone so fast!  |

Slightly OT, so scroll if not interested. Reading Adam's thank yous, and thinking about all the people who affected and shaped his life put me in mind of a special person from mine, who passed away a few days ago.
Reed Humphrey came to my town his senior year in high school. A theater kid, he eagerly sought out the community drama group only to be turned away as just a "kid." He was told NO. He didn't accept it. If they wouldn't let him (and other kids) participate in their group, he would just start his own! From that initial rejection he put together a rag tag group of kids from ages 12 -21 who, together, against all odds, mounted a musical; The Unsinkable Molly Brown, complete with a pit orchestra.
He named his company "Peter Quince" from the Shakespeare character who cobbled together a play for the royals. The unique thing about "Peter Quince" is that no one, NO ONE, over the age of 21 can be involved. The kids not only performed, they made up the orchestra, they did the costumes, the scenery, the directing, the choreographing, the business end, the marketing, renting the theater, finding rehearsal space ---- EVERYTHING.
To make a long story a little shorter, that was in 1969. 40 plus years later, Peter Quince is still going strong. Two generations of young people have had their lives shaped by participating in the summer productions. They have learned the crafts, but they have also learned about working with others to create something special, finding their own power to lead, accepting responsibility, and so much more.
Like Adam, I was an outcast, a geeky kid, a music nerd in school, and in Peter Quince I found my strengths, my power, my ability, my confidence, my friendships and my worth. That experience changed my life. Reading the comments on the website set up as a tribute upon Reed's death, I realize I was not alone. Not by far! Person after person, now spread across the US, echoed their gratitude to Reed for having the vision, the daring, the rebellion to dream big, and expand the lives of young people for many years to come. Person after person recounted how Peter Quince had changed their lives.
So, inspired by Adam's liner notes, I wish to take a moment to honor and recognize Reed Humphrey, who refused to accept "No," who, in doing so, shaped hundreds of young lives, and whose legacy lives on.
