ok guys here is our full and complete description of LAUREN:

“You gettin a new bartender?”  came the soft voice of the lanky assistant, holding his broom as if to ward off danger with it.

soft voiced, lanky.  Now ... the field is open, and we can dispense with the scrawnies.

[Jane]

WHAT?  You guys didn't have enough?  Yesterday's sex wore off already?

I think Ennis agrees with you.

Of course we havnt had enough sex, have we?  Just ask Leslie what happened when we discovered she wasnt going to do a christening the bed scene!!! She did of course in the end, and it was well worth it I might add.   Is Ennis going to try out the erm, ahem, you know, ermmmmmmm, "toys" that Ellery keeps in his bottom drawer?

[Bigheart]

Of course we havnt had enough sex, have we? 

Nope, not by a long shot   
Look forward to some more 'nipping'

I'm with Lucise


You just can't have every guy in your story being skinny...

[magicmountain]

Oh me too!!! 
What will I do when I'm gone for 3 weeks....

You'll do what I've been doing for the last month while I've been away on holiday. Looking desperately for internet cafes to sneak into and searching out local libraries with internet access. The one near where I am staying has computers with only 15 minute access and the rest need to be booked. Otherwise I am paying out a mint at the local coffee shop with Internet access. Have fun! Otherwise get a laptop.

I sometimes have a hard time visualizing the older Ennis in E and E, I always think of young Ennis - I just realized it's because we never get to see old(er) Ennis happy in the movie - and he is so happy with Ellery (most of the time) that I automatically insert happy young Ennis in my visions.

I'm glad I figured that out!  (the hang up was bugging me)

I sometimes see the older Ennis as looking something like Tommy Lee Jones (but taller).

[magicmountain]

uhh, yes here too... especially if you follow the thought a little further and also think about him on horseback...

Ever heard the story of the guy who said he lost his viginity on horseback while he was being abducted by a sheik?

[notBastet]

MM - tommy lee jones as older ennis. hmn. will have to think on that one.  no, i have not heard the story about the guy losing his virginity on horseback!

sorry you can't join us lucise!

my vote for lauren also remains with gregory smith, can't tell if louise likes him or not...

[magicmountain]
