My name is James - I used to post quite regularly on the Chez Tremblay imdb board before all the trolls got to it, but for the past few weeks I have not had as much opportunity to post on BetterMost as I'd like since I've been so busy with my uni degree lately - its settled down a bit now though, for a few weeks before my summer exams, so hopefully I'll be able to pop in once in a while. All the Tremblayans were great on the imdb board, and I'm sure they're all great here too - hope I get to know all you brokies better soon.
A little bit about myself: I'm a huge film fan - my 2 favourite films are Jurassic Park and LA Confidential, with BBM a close 3rd. No film has effected me emotionally as much as BBM though - it took a v.long time to get past that sad, haunting stage after my first viewing in January. I'm from North Wales - a beautiful part of the world - and studying at Nottingham Uni. My other love apart from film is tea. A cup of tea does wonders really. Making a cuppa passes the time when I'm bored, gives me something to do when I should be doing my essays (if im not on imdb that is), plus tea seems to cheer me up whenever I'm feeling down. Plus I'm discovering new teas all the time, all with lots of different flavours... Greatest invention in the world as far as I'm concerned!

Oh, a man after my own heart. I sometimes think I could measure my life in cups of tea. Generally speaking, I go for PG Tips, builders-style, milk, no sugar. However, I live around the corner from The House of Tea (no kidding, that's what the shop's really called), and I spend way, way too much time and money in there. Currently, I'm happily obsessed with their almond tea, a blend of assam with bitter almonds which is just transcendentally good. Anyway, they store all of their teas in special canisters behind the counter, apothecary style, and cheerfully pull down anything so you can stick your head in and have a good sniff. Love, love, love it.
Whereabouts in North Wales are you from? I grew up in London, myself.

Hi. I'm Fran. Some of you may recognize me from the ABCs game, where most of my posting takes place. However, I do admit to lurking everywhere else. I've been working on my BetterMost introduction for quite some time now -- I registered here on April 2 -- but it still sounds pretty lame. Obviously it still needs work; I guess it's a work in progress.
What can I tell you about me? Well, I live in Chicago, I'm married, and have two daughters, ages 18 and almost 13. I will be celebrating my 50th birthday in January, and reaching that milestone is scaring the hell out of me. (Who in their right mind wants to admit that their life is more than half over?) Seeing Brokeback Mountain opened up a whole Pandora's box of emotions for me, and yes, there definitely are days when I wish I had never ventured into that theater. I guess the movie made me realize that somewhere along the way, I had lost sight of who I really am. I guess 19 years of trying to be the perfect wife and, later on, the perfect mother have taken their toll of me to the point where I'm not even sure of who I am anymore. All I know for sure is that happiness seems to be eluding me lately. I mean, sometimes I just shake my head and think, This can't be my life. My life is supposed to be so much better than this.
So, while I work up the courage to make some changes for my own sanity, I hide out at the ABCs game, distracting myself from the work I need to do on my personhood. As I reread this, I can't help but think that this is probably the most depressing post in four pages of introductions. Well, I warned you that it needed work.
