Here’s another link to a Bridget Skype session write-up. Thanks to Sparty for bringing it to our attention! The write-up can be found here: http://community.livejournal.com/legendofseeker/767289.html#cutid1

We got a surprise in our e-mail today. Someone had sent us a little write-up they did about a Skype session with Bridget. They wrote it up especially for us, so here it is:

I also had a Skype session with Bridget but I hadn’t posted about it because…well…I have a terrible memory, and I don’t think it would be fair to her to recite word-for-word what we talked about. I’d inevitably get it wrong.  Plus, I have a thing about respecting someone’s privacy; we didn’t talk about anything personal but still, it was a personal conversation.

That being said however, I don’t think it would be crossing the line to give a short recap.  She was definitely very appreciative of and humbled by the support that CW has gotten. We talked a lot about CW and about financing Broadway shows in general.  It’s something I knew very little about and it was an education having someone so close to it explain it to me. We talked about The Lovely Bones, NINE, Daniel Day-Lewis, The Last of the Mohicans, Italy and Paris, and Is He Dead?  Legend of the Seeker did come up, of course, and the fact that Kahlan will be missed. But I did emphasize how much I’m looking forward to seeing whatever she does next.

And finally, I’m sure you’ve all read the reports by the other Skypers about how much fun it was. It was all that and more, tons more. It was an absolute treat; now, even a week later, I still have this goofy grin on my face that everyone keeps asking me about. If she ever volunteers her time again, I would highly recommend it (the line will be forming right behind me!)

Her Blue Eyes would like to send a big thank you to Pat for sending this along to us! :)

Thank you, wolfi, for drawing our attention to this. For those of you who haven’t been reading the comments, wolfi pointed out this link to us at Her Blue Eyes. It is another recount of a Skype session with Bridget! It’s hard not to love her even more after reading all these recaps! Thanks again and anyone else who finds one of these that we haven’t posted yet, please feel free to draw our attention to it! Here’s the link: http://bitchslapfans.com/?p=1248

Well, yet another recipient of a Skype session with Bridget has posted about the experience and it’s a really good read. Particularly interesting is the story of how she got the Skype session in the first place! Bridget sounds like a wonderful woman again, of course, and this fan is obviously over the moon happy. Enjoy! The post can be found here:  http://sandimist.livejournal.com/4140.html

One of the people who donated $500 to the Camp Wanatachi cause and had a Skype conversation with Bridget wrote about it on their LiveJournal. Apparently, Bridget even stayed a bit longer than the 30 minutes she had agreed to. She sounds like the genuinely lovely person we all had her figured to be anyway!

Touching Testimonial From Fan Noelle
August 16, 2009 12:23 am

Noelle has been in contact with Lindsey and myself the past couple of days. Lindsey and I wanted to share her story with you and Noelle agreed and wrote this up. We think it shows the power that a person can have in another person’s life and welcome anyone else who has been deeply touched by Bridget in any way to share their stories with us as well. Thank you, Noelle, for your permission to share this!

“Dear Bridget Regan,

My name’s Noelle, and I’m a huge fan of yours. I’m writing this because you’re an absolutely amazing actress and have really changed what Sword of Truth means to me, but you’ve also given me a hope on a whole different level with Camp Wanatachi. Your work on Camp Wanatachi truly has given me hope again. My greatest wish would be if you had the time to read this, so I could personally thank you for what you’ve given me and others everywhere.
