I was Meryl. Detailed that story in one of my original threads, as I happened to be in NYC on those days (to this day I still wonder whether I actually decided to go to NYC for seeing BBM, and I live in Italy... and I believe that was really the major inspiration for this short trip).
Hooked ever since then - even earlier I'd say, as the short story had already taken me two months earlier - and still feeling the same today anytime I happen to think of it.
BBM has given me a better understanding of life, and much more self-confidence on myself, as well as confirming my being on the right track for having always been coherent.

they were (and always will be) two friends of mine

I think I do remember your speaking of it before. Anyway, when you get back to NYC, you know who to call! ;D

Is it only 3 years?.....Well its actually a few months short of three years for me since I saw the movie.
It is like having a child...one cant remember what life was like before it.
I guess for most of us, we had some affinity for Brokeback in our lives, long before their was a story written or a movie made about it, and being able to visualise it up on the screen, more or less brought our own story out into the open.
Then when we found Bettermost (or other forums) we then made the remarkable discovery that we were not alone. And from the bond of common feelings and experinces we formed friendships that have crossed miles of roads and oceans.
How can it be described?......there are not enough words to do so, but it is in our soul forever.
How fortunate we all are, to have made this journey.

Wow, Merly, great, great post, and everyone's stories are so good to read.
I found BBM in Oct 2005. That's chronicled elsewhere. And so have the various amazing opportunities I've had to be with Brokies and see BBM, and even Heath and Diana and others. That was a gay ol' time with lots of motion. I haven't traveled to Brokieventures this year (though some came to me!). Now it's become more about having BetterMost as a communal home that we are growing and furnishing together. It's more about stability.
I still delight in a good Brokieism as much as ever, in fact more so, because it's more unexpected, more precious, and more imbued with a sense of richness from previous uses.
When I think of the many precious amazing Brokies I am continuing to get to know, I feel honored and happy and hopeful. I PMed with a Brokie tonight whom I've known obliquely for the past three years, been on many a thread together, but tonight we got to know each other one on one a bit. Still so many good Brokies.
In the near future, I'd like to do another chat where we watch BBM together, and invite members of all the other Brokie forums to join us. I don't picture traveling for a Brokie pilgrimage this coming year, though I would love to have the opportunity to visit Brokie friends. I can't believe how beautiful you Buds are.
I'm in that Hayride from Hell photo at the beginning of the thread, I've got on a dark pink shirt, sitting between Rayn and RouxB, and am nearly totally obscured, but remember it well. I think I may have been the one who named it. :)
