Very interesting lesson, Leslie.  Maybe if you're done teaching you could serve your students some lemonade?
LOL

Anyone know what's up with chat?  I thought you guys might be celebrating Ennis' escape, the new chat didn't open, I am in the old chat with Daniel, and all the rooms say CLOSED, including the campfire, where Daniel and I are.

We actually passed 1700. Maybe by the time you get home and get a banner made, we'll be up to 1800. Yee-haw!

Now that we know where we live, how 'bout a lil bit about ourselves? 

Hello, I am Milli!  I live in Edmonton ALberta ( home of the largest mall in the world!  )..
I make a living in the world of computer programming .. I love my job.
I have been an avid Brokie since, duh, BBM came to theatres..
I was introduced to E & E by DeeDee (love ya for that Dee)...
I am having a swell time with you all!  I wish we could all get together sometime and eat chili with burned biscuits, while sipping on some Glenfiddle!  It could be a sweet life!

 

You?

er uh well I am Louise van Hine, your author for the Ennis and Ellery stories. I first heard about BBM from Maureen Dowd in  her column "Bushback Mountain" in December 2005, read the short story in January and waited till March for the movie to come to Germany, reading every review I could get my hands on.  at the beginning of May my sadness was lingering on way too much, I was arguing with people about whether Jack quit Ennis, and knew I had to complete the story for myself and began writing "Taking Chances," with some help from a gay couple as advisors.  Three books later I'm still writing in what is known as the "Laramie Saga."

A live at the moment in Saarbrücken, Germany while working on a project for the German telephone/internet company T-Systems, most likely soon to be returning to America when my contract runs out.  I have written a lot of poems, a number of other novels, and never really had much of an audience until a couple of months ago when "Taking Chances" started getting considerable attention in the Brokeback fan community.  And I thank you all for your enthusiasm and comments in reading it!

Now that we know where we live, how 'bout a lil bit about ourselves? 

I first saw the movie right before the Oscars, and obviously, have been a Brokie ever since.

I met E and E on the DaveCullen slash thread (back during Taking Chances)...  I kept hearing talk about this Ellery guy, and I just had to check him out.  (Not sure if I would've clicked on the link if his name had been Bob... no offense to any Bob's out there...) And, as you know, once you start, you can't stop!

Maybe we could have ice cream instead of chili for now?  (Or maybe it's not so hot in Canada?)  And I might have to leave the Glenfiddle for the boys.  A nice cold beer will do me just fine.

(I'm jealous you to get live in the same time zone as E and E!)

.... and it looks like the old Jetsons chat is back online if you want to chat, click on the Lips again!

[louisev]

and Leslie you just cut out doing that editing thing before I get a chance to do corrections, otherwise...

I'll have to do my corrections and post my link after I finish.  You wouldn't want that now would you?
