I have just moved back to northern Indiana - my small hometown.

Hi Diane - (Diane is your name isn't it? I saw it in your sig). Anyway welcom! I am always happy to see fellow Hoosiers on the boards! I hope you like it here. I am new too, and the people seem to really be nice over here at Bettermost. :D
By the way, I hoped you dodged all those storms up there in North Indiana. Fort Wayne really got hit hard. We were hit pretty hard here in Indy, but not nearly as much as up north.

Hello! I am a 49 year old straight African American female residing in Oakland, Ca. I am the mother of a 16 year old daughter, and we are both serious Brokies! I moved to California from Oklahoma City in 1963. I have lived in the Bay Area since, Oakland and Berkeley.
I work for the State of California, in tech support, a veteran Civil Service person! I love my job and I love where I live. I am fortunate enough to live in an area with a large and powerful gay community. My workplace is almost 50% gay and my daughter attends an arts school where the student body is 80% gay and lesbian. This incredible diversity is just one more reason why I love where I live!
I feel at home here already. I have been a frequent poster on the IMDB BBM Board since December, and decided after being invited by other Bettermost members (many of them IMDB posters) to give Bettermost a try. I have visited this site many times and I've always loved what I see here! I wanted to register long ago, but decided to wait until I purchased a reliable home computer. I was blessed recently with a rare pay increase and was able to purchase a new laptop!
I am here because I never tire of discussing my favorite movie of all time. I saw Brokeback right after Christmas, not realizing that my life would be changed forever. After the lights went up I was too stunned to move at first! I just remember sitting there with my daughter's head on my shoulder (she couldn't move, either) and just thought, "that was astonishing!" What am I going to do? I'm in love! My Brokeback journey is far from over, but I am a better person because of it. I don't sweat the small stuff anymore and I am much more tolerant of others. I am happier. My daughter says she is glad that I have finally found a favorite, a movie to love.
I must say that I have a good life, have always been happy and reasonably well adjusted! When Brokeback Mountain came into my life I was at first leveled by the tragedy of Jack and Ennis' sad, sad lives. But as the months passed, and I was able to speak to others about this quiet miracle of a film, the sadness has passed, and I can now appreciate Brokeback as the work of art it truly is.
It is so good to see a lot of friends here. Most of them I knew were here, but there are some surprises. PastorFred! PastorFred is here, thank God! He is one of my all time favorites. I even had the pleasure of meeting some members such as sfericsf at a screening of Brokeback at the Castro theatre earlier this month. It was glorious!
I could go on and on, but I had better stop now. I'll just say that I'm thrilled to be here, and I am ready, willing and able to talk!
