Erica Durance Board 10 Year Anniversary: ♪ Extraordinary magic follows you around ... I see extraordinary magic in you. ♪
✩★✩♥✩★✩ ✦ ✧ ✦ ★ Erica About E r i c a © ♛ Our Journey Ray {dancing in the rain}
© ©© Tia {eternalfate}I am so proud of the Erica Durance board for reaching the incredible milestone of 10 years! I did not post daily but when I posted on the board, it's always been a good time. Erica has been in so many projects over the years, but the one I recognize her in most if her Lois Lane role where she shined right from "Crusade" episode. Perfect Color: The Erica Durance Board 10 Year Anniversary Soundtrack It seems like it was just yesterday that we were anxiously campaigning every month and doing our utmost to bring this board into existence and now ten years have flown by in the blink of an eye. I definitely think this board came into existence at the "right place, right time" because it served as a safe haven for me and for many other Lois fans when Lois really came into her own in the later seasons of Smallville. This soundtrack is my love letter to Erica, Lois, and this board and the wonderful people that I've met here over the past ten years. The first song on this soundtrack is called "Perfect Color" and I think it beautifully describes the way we felt the minute Lois/Erica showed up on SV. "Yellow nice to meet you, do you know that you just blue my mind?" The second song, "Colour" is also very appropriate because when Erica came to SV it was like a breathe of fresh air and like things popped into technicolour. Erica is a uniquely gifted, giving, and compassionate individual. I really do see "extraordinary magic" in her because she gives her all to every role she plays and she handles every challenge that is thrown her way with grace and dignity. Erica is also completely and unapologetically herself. The song "I Wanna Be Like Me" speaks to that with lyrics like, "What if I wanna be the one who/ Doesn't need to hide? /What if I wanna be the one who/ Won't apologize? /I'm not the enemy /Unless that's what you choose to see...I was made to be exactly like me." I love this song as a message for everyone to just be themselves and I love Erica as a role model for this important message about being true to yourself. Once again, thank you Erica for your unique take on Lois and your complete and utter dedication to that role. Thank you to my fellow fan forum members for celebrating Erica and her many roles with me. Thank you to my wonderful co-mod, Rayyan, for everything she does for this board on a daily basis and for being a friend and confidante to me for the past 10+ years. I would do it all "over and over" again in heartbeat. I love you all. Soundtrack Compilation & Write-up by now.it.all.begins (Rachel) Soundtrack Art by dancing in the rain (Ray) 1.

I'll Be There by Jess Glynne When all the tears are rolling down your face And it feels like yours was the only heart to break When you come back home and all the lights are out, ooh And you getting used to no one else being around Oh, oh, I'll be there When you need a little love, I got a little love to share Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna come through You'll never be alone, I'll be there for you 8. Invincible by David Archuleta Take a breath Look at how you're tryna to think it to death If you're in the crossfire, don't forget That you don't have to be invincible Take a step Even if you fall, it ain't over yet If you're in the crossfire, don't forget That you don't have to be invincible 9.

Great OP!
Can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember campaigning and the board finally opening like it was yesterday. __________________
