I knew it! ya couldn't resist. Had to come in here to find out more about Gillian. Well, she's just like everyone else and has a past and all that stuff, I know! I thought she was a god too! Strange when you realise that she's mortal and she too sometimes runs out of time or forgets to shave her arm-pits just like all of us. This is a place where you will find all of that history stuff I keep talkin' 'bout. Yep, complete lists of everything and anything to know about Ms. Gillian. If you want to know more than this, you are probably some kind of sicko and really should seek professional help! I recommend my psychiatrist Kerryn Shrink, she's really got me coming along these days.
