Last night, Angela (Unberlibran), LJ (silkncense), and Clarissa (Ellemeno) went to dinner and a movie.
It was great to sit with other Tremblayans while Our Boys went through the rigors and joys of their lives. Angela sat in the middle, and a couple of times, she and I exchanged gleeful grins, knowing that we were having a Tremblay moment watching the movie.
We then went to dinner next door, and to show what a diverse group Tremblayans can be, one of us had a mixed drink, one had wine, and the third had a beer. Never at a loss for words, we went through it all, discussing broad and fine points of all things BBM. Jack as the wind, the "It's alright"s (some variety of opinion there), the Oscars (pretty much agreement), and which threads are/were our favorites (LJ favors serious discussion, Angela plays the field, and Clarissa loves the ridiculous and the sublime). We agreed we wanted to get together to watch the DVD and talk (gasp!) during it.
It was lovely being with two avid, knowledgable Brokies. Angela was one of the first people I imprinted when I joined TOB in September 2005, and LJ helped recently with various troll-decisions, so I was glad to meet em live.
