--- Quote from: David925 on June 15, 2006, 03:03:29 am ---My name is David and I live on the south side of Indianapolis (Speedway Indiana). I am a professional photographer. I play the violin, cello and piano. I LOVE Shakespere. Currently I have a lover and his name is Cory. I have a Golden Retriever and his name is Cody. I am 43 years old. I have travelled extensively, and I love it. I am Dutch (and proud of it) and also Lakota Sioux (and proud of it). I speak a little Dutch and French.
Wat zijn uw plannen voor vanavond? I'm just kidding!
Life in Indiana can be difficult for a gay man, but I do have hopes for the future of our little midwestern state.
I am a refugee from IBDb (I can't take the trolls over there anymore). Hopefully, things will be better on Bettermost.
I should also mention I am David-Indiana on IMDb, just in case anyone here is from Imdb. :-)

David I am so pleased you came! No troll worries here, Phil takes it very seriously and we mods kick em to the curb post haste. So on the VERY RARE occassion you might view one, just send a PM to any on-line moderator ( the folks showing in red on "who's on line) and it will be delt with quickly and mercilessly. If there are no mods on line at the time hit the report button on the bottom of the offending post and the system sends an e-mail to all of us . We have a ZERO tolerance policy here and IPA's are banned and reported to the hosting site.
David In Indy:
Hey Vicky! You and Kudzudaddy are two of the reasons I came to Bettermost.
Thanks for explaining to me what I should do if I see a troll. I'm cetain nearly everyone has been attacked by them on other websites and it is nice to know they are nearly non existent here on Bettermost.
I will leave it up to all of you to deal with them.
And believe me, I will let you all know if I see one! Yuck! Trolls are very nasty little critters.

Hello everyone!
I hope you don't mind lil' ol' me joining in.
My name is Stephanie and I'm a 21 year old living in Ohio. I'm a History major in college. Love to read like it's going out of style (which, now that I say that, I think it unfortunately might be).
I learned about this forum from IMDb, which I was floating around, mostly reading all the threads on symbolism and whatnot- which I also like to explore when not completely emotionally drained from the experience of watching BBM!
I saw this movie when it first arrived in my conservative home town; saw it alone as no one else would see it with me. And I pre ordered the movie from Amazon and haven't stopped viewing it since I received it. Although as I mentioned once on the IMDb forum, the dvd is like contraband in my house.
I am the Jack character in the film. I fell in love with an Ennis- who couldn't love me completely because of the strict background we've grown up in and the fear that runs through it.
I wrote in my journal a few days after I first saw it- "This is a sorrow that digs a hole and settles deep, deep inside you until it manifests itself as a kind if 'soul-arthritis' that causes every bone to ache each time you move- reminding you that it's there and it's not going anywhere any time soon."
I'm glad to be among other people that appreciate this film and all it stands for. :)

Thanks so much David! My dad's side of the family all hail from Indiana- mostly around Terre Haute. I've been to many a family reunion in Indiana ;)
It's good to meet you and everyone else *tips cowboy hat* :)
