My Correspondence with Lauren Collins
Lauren Collins plays megabitch Paige on Degrassi. At Lauren Collins's official website they list her email address and invite you to email her, so I did.

That was good acting. Anyway, I was wondering if you know how I could email or regular mail Shane Kippel. As you know, there is no cooler cat than Spinner Mason. If I could get in touch with the man that said "Boycott the caf" and unleashed the beastwithin, I would melt. Have fun with season 5, and don't forget to eat fruits. they prevent scurvy. |
A month later, I got a reply.

Hey there, |
That's pretty awesome. How about the fact she thinks I'm funny. That should shut up all you fuckheads who always email me saying this site is not funny and we must not be real Degrassi fans. Well, guess who does think I'm funny. That's right: Paige Michalchuk herself. Take that that haters. Suck on it.
The story does not end there my friends, oh no. Lauren's website also has an address where you can send away to request an autographed photo, so I did around the time I sent the email. It didn't arrive by the time the email reply did, but I didn't give up hope.
Finally one summer day I received a small package from Toronto Canada of all places. Could it be? Did Paige send me an autograph?
She did!
