New Members--Introduce Yourselves Here

[planetgal471]

well, i've been meaning to join up here for a few months now, but i'm kinda lazy so ... i only got around to it now. I should really be writing my next chapter, but instead i'm on here with a glass of wine. lol

Join the club *eyes empty bottle of beer*

Over in the Juicy Bits we have Le Bar Slash where we just drink and procrastinate on reading and writing  Stop on by and share the bottle.

Looks like I picked an *interesting* day to arrive, what with Dave's message. Anyhow, I'm Charlotte from the city of the same name in NC. My life was at a major crossroads last year when BBM was released, and seeing the film had a profound effect on me that I still have a hard time articulating. I thought the feeling would subside but it did not.

I'm new to posting here...but looking forward to *meeting* you guys and sharing some thoughts.
Charlotte

Hi Charlotte, and welcome.

You know you're stuck here for ever, I guess. We just can't quit. And we don't want to. And why should we when there's so many fabulous people to meet and things to discover. I've barely scratched the surface.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a few weeks now and decided to join in. I first saw BBM on February 3. I didn't have anyone to go with me, so I went alone. When I got home I couldn't stop thinking about it. When my son and his girlfriend came over that evening, I was so distracted while visiting with them - I just couldn't concentrate. I finally just told them about the movie and that I couldn't stop thinking about it. (They have both seen it now, too, and agreed it was very good) So here it is, almost 10 months later, and I think the obsession has gotten worse.  It's OK, though. It's only the best film I ever saw, that's all.

Welcome, thinking! You have found a place where no one will ever say, "geez, can't you talk about something else for once" Hope you love it here, as I have.

[thinkin_out_loud]

Thanks, planetgal!  I love it here already.    This whole forum is huge - it will take awhile to get my bearings. But I already made it through the entire "Scene by Scene" FNIT thread. [*pats herself on the back*]

Hope you enjoy yourself Thinkin_out_loud, it's never too late to join in the passion.

Welcome to the campsite, beans aren't mandatory!

[thinkin_out_loud]

Thanks, john john! Yeah, I'll skip the beans, but I will have some of that elk, medium-well, and maybe a teeny bit of the whiskey.

When I got here in September, I thought I was going to spend all my time in the slash thread. As it turns out, I've never been there.  But the few threads I do post in- "How Brokeback Affected Me", mostly, plus the Diner and a couple of other threads in the "Meet Your Neighbors" section- have been very fulfilling. Feel free to start with a few and work your way up from there. Welcome to the board- and all the insanity that it brings!

Thanks, Saena. I'll be sure to check out the threads you mentioned. It's all so interesting - from the serious discussions to the silly fun - it's all good.

ummm... rainy,

if i may, can i ask why this forum.  you didn't mention a connection to the movie and story that brought us together, or another poster of your acquaintance.  we have become fairly all-purpose, but underneath it all beats the heart of a simple short story and a finely crafted film.

welcome in any case,

jack

Well, that was strange. I've never heard of addictions to forums in general.

i don't think i was being unfriendly, just rather curious, myself.
