Just wanted to say thanks for all of the nice replies.

As for:
As far as obsessions go, ours is of exceptionally high quality. I'm just guessing, but I'd be willing to bet that Trekkies and Star Wars fanatics don't get into these kinds of discussions.
Well, you'd lose that bet. After all, Trekkers and Star Wars nuts are people too and not all of them are pubescent fanboy geeks. The movies have made personal impacts in their lives as well.

You're absolutely right, dell. I knew there was a reason I felt a little funny writing that sentence. Plus, shortly after I read your post I remembered my own life-changing Star Trek experience back when I was 15. Now I feel really silly for saying what I did.
BTW - The picture you posted of your cats is currently the wallpaper on my laptop. ;D

:o Wow, thanks. My cats sure do get around (more than I do anyway). The breeder I got Kabuki from also has a picture of her on her website. They're just too cool 8)

I told my husband today that I don't care if he sees the movie or not, just that he needs to be less hateful. Now, I'm planning a summer getaway to get my head back in order. Last summer, I went with my daughter to Mesa Verde, a highly spiritual place near the junction of New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. She will be travelling to Ireland this summer, so I'm on my own. I'm thinking about going to Calgary or Vermont to meet fellow Brokies. Those New Yorkers have inspired me!!

If you make it to Vermont, I hope you'll consider moseying on up to Maine--I'd love to get together!

Also, regarding our community here, I'll have to say call this one of the weirdest social experiences I've ever had, but I love it. I'm blown away when I stop to think that every day, several times a day in fact, I am spending time with a group of people I feel genuine affection toward, even though I only have the sketchiest concepts of the superficial demographic things that you learn about people in "real life" the moment you look at them. I mean, I know where some of you live, but not all; I know what some of you look like (at least what can be determined from avatars), but not all; I know some of your ages, but not all, and so on. In a few cases I'm not even entirely clear on your genders! And yet disembodied or not I feel like I really know you well, at least in some ways, and I can say things to you guys that I wouldn't say to anyone else I know, including my spouse.

Y'know Katherine -
I think this is just exactly how relationships are at their best...where the true nature of the person shines through, and all the individual differences created by the details of our lives disappear. For me, it's always best when the pure light of the sould shines without any shadows. And I think BBM keeps inspiring all of us to leave behind whatever limitations exist for us, and this has become a great place to try out being our best.

Kirk!
Thank you for that post.
Starbie: Speaking for myself, anyway, the reason I could be articulate about Brokeback Mountain at La Cabana was because I knew you guys already, and I knew you were all coming from where I was coming from. The inarticulateness strikes in the presence of doubtful, blank faces of the uninitiated/unobsessed/unsympathetic.
