It's time to fess up
henrypie:
Adriana,
What a lovely post.
I too am here as much for you guys as for the thing we're all here for. An example: I'm reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. The protagonist is an autistic 15-year-old boy. Today my thoughts wandered round to hungryhungryhippos's son, who is autistic. I have to admit I love it that I have a circle of friends and acquaintances with names like hungryhungryhippos, starboardlight, chefjudy etc. I know you have real names too, but these names are special to me.
And even though we're not supposed to throw roses or smilies at Nicole, I thank her for her sweetness and class.

I know I am not supposed to adress this to Nicole, but I will as I am sure she will buckle under the tension of C.T and come and have a peek back here sometime.
I really wish you wouldn't go, you and pierre have become apart of our family, poking your heads round every now and then like adults checking on kids at a sleep over! But I really wish you wouldn't go, although I only had one short conversation with you about "To Kill a Mockingbird" (wow that seems ages ago) you seemed a briliant woman, and someone I hoped I would get to know. You really seemed like the type of person who would fit in here at C.T. I know what you mean though how these boards and Pierre and Nicole have become part of our lives. The last time I watched BBM I waited in the cinema to spot Pierre's name and when I did I gave out a little squeak and a mexican wave sort of victory. My friends thought I was overly weird but I didn't care. Also I think of you guys all the time. I think stuff like, "Ha so-and-so would find that funny!" etc. It is surprising how connected I have become with you guys, it is amazing.
I would love to keep in touch with you Nicole, if you do as you say and never come back here I will respect your strength in character, cause I have tried to quit thousands of times over the past few days. I think I am almost at the stage of shouting "I wish I could quit you!" at my computer screen. I wish you all the best and you have my dearest regards, if you never come back, but if you do and you are reading this PM me. I know you said not to do this, but I don't know how to express my love to a wonderful woman such as yourself with out using one of these: :-*.
Love you lots,
Becky

I agree with these sentiments in particular. I found my way to the BBM board many months ago because I could not shake off the devastation of this fantastic piece of art and I needed to guage where my reaction sat with the world at large. I wanted some sort of justification for the uncharacteristic tears that poured, for the ache in my heart. I found more than justification, I found all of you. I often feel a bit...(a lot) guilty that I don't discuss the film enough anymore and I'm too off topic to be contributing, (thus why I drift into lurker mode occassionally). Your stories and reactions to the film have become more intriguing to me than the film itself. BBM will always be a part of me now, but moreover, you have contributed to my being in ways that I never imagined. Each personality is essential in this group and I'm always aware when one of you hasn't posted for a while. There are people here that I have never directly communicated with, such as rt, and chanteraise, simply out of an inability to find a relevant response, but every word is read and, for me, every personality makes up this breathtaking dynamic. Becky is trying to cast us all into BBM roles on another thread, which is fun, but I think we are cast perfectly for the story that is being played out right here and now. You people, and ALL of you people are part of my daily breath and I can't seem.., don't want to do without any of you. So forgive my failure to discuss the film's nuances and technicalities anymore, but you have become my text of choice these days.

Oh Ray. Have I told you lately how glad I am that you're here? That was beautifully said.
Becky:
Wow Ray, you take my breath away! I know you play the clown at times, but you always have something briliant and meaningful.

What you don't want your part as Ennis in the flashback hug scene? LOL
