Borderline asperger-type eccentric, but house-trained. Barely.
Had a cat once, a mad Abbyssinian (15 years). Could never have another animal after that. Of course, he was no animal, he was people.

Adriana, 24, XX, student. Living in Toronto, but grew up in UK and Malaysia, so yes, I am a mutt. Brown and blue.
All this talk of cats is making me a little mopey. My old black lady went to the Great Catnip Patch in the sky a few weeks ago. My lower lip is starting to wobble now, so I'll move on.
Mandy, I didn't know you were a Newfie! Can I start making jokes now?

Single (happily, mind you), no children.
Oh, and I have three cats: One old fart named Jack, a B&W one with serious attitude named Jesse, and a schizophrenic one named Abbey Road (yes, i'm a major Beatles fan!). My next pet will probably get stuck with a name like Penny Lane.

Hey Pete Thanks for posting the list from Tremblay!

Hello Lady High Priestess Meryl....I posted on the cult thread last week about the origins of the holy "Hunh?!" count...

I'll warn ya - I can't cook worth a damn. Pretty good with a can opener, though.
(Any and all kitchen advice you can spare would be greatly appreciated.) :-*

Mutt here, too, although I haven't lived all over like you. Dirty blonde and green.
And so sorry to hear about your kitty. (((Adriana))) It never gets any easier to lose them, no matter how seasoned a veteran at it you are. Dogs' and cats' lives are much too short for such noble animals.

Front-Ranger (Lee Recca), 50s going on 19, Golden Colorado and I have some exciting OT news to report, and wanted you Tremblayans to be the 1st to hear it! My daughter and son are performing in the school talent show tonight. My daughter (a senior) is singing "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane and my son (8th grader) is accompanying her on drums. I got to do the wardrobe: black dress, choker, and leather boots for her, black T-shirt, Converses, and sunglasses for him. I will try to upload a clip!
For the other 411 (as Will would say) dog Kapu (Husky), cat Diva (tabby) and, Oh, almost forgot, husband John (Italian).

Wow - I love that song! Hopefully you can post a clip - I'd love to see it. I'm always so glad to hear of youngin's that listen to and like classic rock. Have a great time tonight.
-
I am your BetterMost Host. I'm 38 and hail from Rochester, NY and am partnered to John Passaniti who is also on here. We'll celebrate 20 years together this January. John handles the technie parts of the system and I do the writing and the vision thing.
Speaking of techie stuff, I can see this entire directory should be its own standalone feature on here because it's hard to read in the forum format. We need an online database of some sort.
In the meantime, remember you can change font type face using the font command in between [], or just click on the red colored A in the editor. If you use Courier, things will line up better at least. You can also change font size by clicking the A with the arrow next to it to shrink it down so everything can line up. If you can make future modifications into a comma delimited file (comma after each entry), we can probably do something with it, and maybe even put an online form up so people can add to it automatically.
-
Hi Phillip,
Just wanted to offer many thanks for setting us up on this board - it's heaven!

Hey all,
Sheyne, 32, female. Given up on the whole idea of dating. Am a mum to Will, turning 7 this year, who is autistic (interesting to read that you have many of the same eccentricities, John!!).
I'm a teacher and I'm commencing study on my law degree part time.
Devotee of BBM and taekwondo.
Love yas to bits.. ;D :-* ;D

Thank you for posting the directory list again Pete.
The same basics as above: Reanna, 26, Straight (I've given up on dating too - had my heart broken very badly.) Live in Bombay, India. Work as a freelance assistant director and writer.
Deeply passionate about Brokeback Mountain and so glad I have you all to share the passion with.
Most importantly, love you all very much! ;D
Hugs,
Reanna

Phillip, I'm from Rochester, too. What part did you grow up in? I lived in Gates until I was 13, then Canandaigua until I was 22. I've got three years on you, but if you grew up in a similar area, we may have crossed paths once or twice. I envy you. I miss it up there. A lot. Finally gotten used to this South Florida/endless summer/no seasons thing, but it took me the better part of 13 years.
Anyway, nice to see a fellow Rochesterian, and so nice to be here in general. I feel like Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams: "Is this Heaven?" It sure as hell ain't Iowa.

I am on the list that Pete (ptannen) so kindly saved & posted earlier. Aries, 04-01 (I have decided on a "do-over' of several years so the age thing is transient), Seattle area.

Happy to see so many familiar names.

Is this strictly for folks from the Tremblay list? If not....
JC stands for Juan Carlos (like the king of Spain). 39, live in New York City, Gemini, single social worker. Came on board here after the IMDb boards started getting really nasty, noticed it right after the Oscars. No kids but two phenomenal cats, Monty and Baldwin, their pic is on another thread.
Pleasure is all mine.

Hey Sarah, May 28 here.
You know, with a large enough group, it's inevitable that two people have the same birthday. I've met...OK, dated...four guys who have my birthday.

I think the definition of being a Tremblayan is ever-expanding, and you're here, so you must be one. It's a self-selecting group y'know. You want to join us, and we love having you here, so come on!
Your folks stop at Juan?

You're soooooo brave!! I didn't include it in my quote in case you want to erase it, but thanks for completeing the line - it's always so satisfying when another completes the line. It's part of our sickness you know - needing to quote the lines, and then needing to hear them completed...
-
It took me a bit to get used to that on here. Reading people use the same phrases, and I'd be thinking, where did I hear that before? It's fun though.
I was groaning because of the bad pun, it's something that a good friend of mine would do.

Kirk. 37. San Francisco. Singer mostly, but I dance, act, songwrite, wonder if I should start training for the Presidency. Hell, if Arnold can be Governor...
Single for 6 years. Have gone from liking it to tolerating it. Don't think my next boyfriend lives here.
-
Did I post in the "introduce yourself" thread? I can't remember . . .
Mark, (less than) 40 (barely). "Will I get my four years back?"
Lawyer (ugh! See - I have no friends - that's why I love that you all love me!)
Single, not looking . . .
Live behind the Orange Curtain - and BTW, "The OC" is filmed in LA! It don't look like that here and folks don't act like that here! (Actually, it's worse!). I do love it here (grew up & came back after LA) but I loved it more before the New Rich showed up, when the Old Rich went back to Pasadena for a large chunk of the year.
Did I mention I went to USC? Do I need to? So, for "most disappointing" event of 2006 so far, it's almost a perfect tie between the blasted Rose Bowl game and the bloody Oscar telecast.
Proud participant in the Aero screening in Santa Monica with friends Surf501, Starboardlight, Henrypie, Ellenemo, Ndatmo1, and Bannerhill. Definitely would try to make a BBM convention.
I love you all. The thinkers who knock me on my heels are JeffWrangler and Delalluvia.
Losing time to spend on the boards but so very very happy (and thankful) to have a place like the forum here. Thank you so much again Philip!

Well this might be a reintroduction for some. My name is Brendan, I'm 26 and I live in Vancouver B.C. I started posting on the BBM IMDb message board back in December and posted on the Tremblay board in Febuary. I've been crazy busy taking condenced summer classes here at the University of British Columbia. I took a little break from BBM and the message boards for a bit because I moved and started summer classes. I just found out about the screening in SF and I'm getting back on a gryhound for Jack and Ennis again(I went to the Aero in Santa Monica in Feb). Anyway just thought I'd say hi to everyone!
-
Welcome Brendan! Look forward to seeing you in SF next weekend!

(I went to the Aero in Santa Monica in Feb).
Brendan, I remember you. I was bummed when I found out you had been at the Aero and never found us. We will find you in SF!! Clarissa
-
"Say hi,"
Jenny and Alma Jtr.: "Hi."
Guess nobody thinks he's "new."
-
Hi Brendan! I remember you and your profile on IMDb....it's been a while now, but I rememeber thinking we had some non-BBM literary and music tastes in common (I'm thinking it was U2 and Catcher in the Rye?? We'll have to tawk.) Anyway, welcome back to the fray!
I've always put off posting on all the various introductions and getting to know you threads, from the original Pierre Tremblay board to here, so I'll try to make up for that now:
My name is Jenny and I'm a 35-year-old bi woman living in Brooklyn, NY since last April. I've been a big Brokeback fan since seeing the movie opening night on December 9th, 2005 in NYC (and saw it 12 times after that in the theater). Some of the best things about my life are my adorable niece and nephew (and their parents), my wonderful old friends all over the country, and all the new friends and community I've come to know and love here at Chez Tremblay. Among the challenges I deal with are working at a tedious temp job, and the frustrations of having too little time, money, and energy left over each day to play here and also make my many dreams come true.
On that note, I've been more absent than present here for the past 6 or 7 weeks as I am trying to get some things in my life to be the way I want them to be. That means looking for a more fulfilling and better-paying job, and also working on the larger life goal of starting my practice in body-centered voice and movement coaching, for which I've trained and studied for the past 10 years. It's slow going, but I do make progress bit by bit.
As a brokie, I like to do visible and tangible things for our community, and for all brokies, really. To that end I have worked a lot on the IMDb Chez Tremblay/"Big Board" archive that littledarlin, myself, and others created after the IMDb troll attack in March. I have also made several silver double-cowboy-hat-charm-necklaces/keychains for myself and others to wear as a symbol of Jack and Ennis' love. Another project I'm a fan of is the as-yet-to-be-planned brokie convention that we hope to hold next summer in Calgary, Alberta--I can't wait to party, share the elk meat, and drink some whiskey or som'n with everyone a yas!
Perhaps the biggest contribution I've made is the online t-shirt store I created for brokies called revelationtees (see the link in my sig line.) The store has been my way of helping all brokies share and wear their love of Brokeback Mountain. I give my profits to the Matthew Shepard Foundation, which was started in 1998 after Matthew was murdered in a horrible hate crime in Wyoming. I'm doing this because I want to help make the world a safer and better place for all the real-life Jacks and Ennises everwhere. We've got to turn the tide so we can be free to live and love in this world as we are, without fear or shame. Being more like Ennis than I'd like to admit, I battle those and other things regularly. As I integrate the movie more deeply into my life, I hope I can "let be" and find love like Jack and Ennis had.
I love this group of people and am so glad I found everyone here! Even though I'm no longer staying up till 2 am every night with y'all, you're in my heart and soul, and whatever might be difficult in my life, things are always better when I come to BetterMost.
xox,
:-*Jenny

I've been crazy busy taking condenced summer classes here at the University of British Columbia. I took a little break from BBM and the message boards for a bit because I moved and started summer classes. I just found out about the screening in SF and I'm getting back on a gryhound for Jack and Ennis again(I went to the Aero in Santa Monica in Feb). Anyway just thought I'd say hi to everyone!
HI ! :D Brendan :D old buudy, old pal, old friend! Nice to see you found your way here. I've missed you....Welcome! :-* :-* one for each cheek.
-
Come on all new members! We know you're out there! Don't be shy now!
;D WELCOME ;D

Hello fellow Brokies.... my name is Alec and joining this site is definitely a first for me ... a "one-shot deal," to quote one of our mutual friends. I have been reading this site and the IMDB board for a while, on and off as time permits. I have never been so affected by a story or a movie as I have been by Brokeback Mountain. Discerning, articulating, and processing all that Jack & Ennis have to teach us will take eons. I won't likely have much time to participate online, but I do look forward to enjoying and benefitting from the ongoing commentary and discussions when I am able. I am in the process of moving from Washington, D.C., where I have lived and worked in public service for 18 years, back home to the Buffalo, NY area. I think this site is a terrific idea and I have to believe that many people are benefitting from it. I look forward to getting to know you as time marches on.
-
Welcome to CT Alec!
-
Hey there Alec. Welcome to the family.
-
Hi Alec, participate as little or much as your heart and your time allow no matter what you are most Welcome! :D
-
Thanks for the warm welcomes! In the last few days, I have spent some hours on this site rather than packing for my upcoming move -- this could get dangerous. It's great to read posts by so many thoughtful people who share my passion for all that is Brokeback Mountain. Thanks for being so open to newcomers. :)
-
Hello Alec and welcome!
Be warned - you'll never leave here, ever. It's addictive..
;D
~ j U d E
-
No kidding it's addictive... I am supposed to be packing for a 500-mile move instead of reading and posting... I may need to have a Brokeback Moving party where everyone whose alluring posts have kept me from packing has to help me get everything ready to go! ;D
-
Brendan, I remember you. I was bummed when I found out you had been at the Aero and never found us. We will find you in SF!! Clarissa
I'm not going to make that mistake this time! I got the email and I'll be making sure to sit in the reserved section. I'll see you on Monday!! :D
-
Hi Brendan! I remember you and your profile on IMDb....it's been a while now, but I rememeber thinking we had some non-BBM literary and music tastes in common (I'm thinking it was U2 and Catcher in the Rye?? We'll have to tawk.) Anyway, welcome back to the fray!
Hi Jenny!!!!! I remember you, I wanted to buy one of your shirts!!! I've been SUPER busy as well. On my way to bed, gotta be up early leaving for SF in the moring. Thanks for the welcome!
-
HI ! :D Brendan :D old buudy, old pal, old friend! Nice to see you found your way here. I've missed you....Welcome! :-* :-* one for each cheek.
Hi Victoria!!!!!!!! It's good to be back!!!! I've missed you too! :-* I've been taking condenced summer classes, which means I have to do a whole semesters worth of work in 3 weeks :o. I'm off to San Fran in the mornning, but I look forward to chatting when I get back.
-
Thanks for all the warm welcomes, I feel right at home here. ;D

Welcome Alec!!!!!! I have never been affected like a movie like this either. People in my "real" life think it's a little wierd. They keep saying "it's just a movie". Of course I realize that it's a movie, but it's so much more than that to me.

Welcome B_hynds. With a name like that I can only imagine you will be the BUTT of a few jokes! ;D Hahahahahahahahahahaa God I'm Funny! ;D
I hope you love this place!

Oops didn't see this! I remember you too from the imdb board! I remember, because you mentioned at some point that you are a Capricorn - I am too, so that bit of information about you stuck in my mind.
WELCOME!

You can always do what I do sometimes - print out some of the threads and read them you're taking a break from packing, travelling or otherwise away from the PC.
;)

Jude, you sound like an old-fashioned enabler, and I like that! :) With friends like you, I may never get packed! Six weeks and counting until the van shows up. I have threatened somewhere on this forum to have a Brokeback Moving party, where everyone whose fascinating and gripping posts have kept me reading and typing instead of packing will have to come help me in the last 48 hours. So mark your calendars, all you insightful and witty thinkers.... redine it here and I'll provide the coffee and cherry cake. Cheers! and thanks for the good will.
-
Brendan, it was great to meet you and your wife tonight at the theater!
It was great to meet you Clarrisa!!!!. ;D I had a great time in San Fran. I'm looking forward to June 12,2007!!!!
I just walked in the door 5 minutes ago, I'm so exausted, I'm going to check out the pictures on the Castro thread, then I'm off to bed.

Brendan, Alec--
Hi and welcome.
Brendan--good to see you again. We chatted back in the dark ages about nursing as a career. Let me know if you have more questions/answers...I am active on this board.
Take care,
Leslie

Six weeks?! That's plenty of time!! That's about the time Ennis and Jack had on BBM together the first time and you know how much THEY have managed to do...
But I'll come to the party anyway.. ;D

Thanks for the welcome b_hynds ... BBM of course IS more than "just a movie" ... and that is coming from someone who has almost NEVER been much interested in seeing a movie more than once (sorry if that is blasphemy to some! I am a huge fan of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, if that counts. :) ) BBM is a remarkable lens on what it is to be human and to know pain and hope and sorrow ... not to mention a whole new ebay category for me to search and pillage. Better yet, it's also a group of online buddies who can support each other in These Dark Times when much of our species does not uderstand Our Truth.
Thanks to all for the moral support! The ideas and warmth on this board are fantastic ... I am sorrly only that I waited so long to join.

Jude -- love the term "fixer" -- adopting it as my own. :)
And this packing thing could get desperate if people on here keep entrancing me with their thougthful, funny, poignant posts and photos... I'm still working 50 hours a week, traveling to set up my new life, and you haven't seen what a wreck my house is... I'd just better start baking cherry cake for all you helpers-to-be ;)
plus now Jude has distracted me into thinking about our heroes in the tent... now I can plan on losing at least an hour of packing time to daydreaming... (sigh). Thanks for the memories, as it were!

I couldn't agree with you more Alec. I actually think I'm addicted to purchasing BBM memrobilia on ebay. I need help, my credit card is maxed but now I just send money orders. I actually bought a script last week that was signed by the whole cast. I'm still excited about that purchase.

Hi Leslie!!!
Thanks for the welcome and I'm sure I'll have more questions about nursing as the application deadline approaches. I'm not to sure about my chances now though, it's pretty competitive and going to san fran didn't help my stats grades >:(

I can highly recommend the four by six foot bus stop-sized poster movie advertisement on ebay... Jake and Ennis larger than life... makes that certain "statment" anywhere you put it! My poster makes me very happy. :)

I guess I should drop a "hey" here too. I hadn't realized there was a "Introduce yourself" thread at Chez Tremblay.
I am David-Indiana from IMDb.
I am still trying to learn all the different names former IMDb members are using on Bettermost, so please forgive me if I get some of the names wrong a few more times.
I apologize in advance for it. :)

Gay!!! There you are!!! I am so happy to see you back on the boards again! Yes, you were correct. It is wonderful here.
I did get all those pictures you sent me and they were simply wonderful. Thank you for sending them to me. I will send you a lengthy email one of these days. You know how I am about things like this.
Yes, Littlewing just joined Bettermost tonight. She introduced herself in the "Introduce Yourself" thread. I am so happy she decided to come over.
Gay. You know what? That picture is going to be PRICELESS someday. I love pictures like that. Just think of all the conversations it will invoke later on down the road... for generations to come.

DID I mention that Jared's grandma..left front..is SO deaf, that she had NO idea what we were all acting like that for!!! she didn't find out till we were at dinner at the restaraune...and no one knew that she didn't know!!! she does look a bit confused...

Come on all new members! We know you're out there! Don't be shy now!
;D WELCOME ;D
I hope im doing this right.....Hi, my name is Katie and I am from Australia.
I first saw the movie in March 2006, and have been a regular on another message board, but someone told me about this one, and I wanted to join and meet some more new people who, like me, have the same obsession and love for this movie.
Would welcome meeting people from anywhere on here, but I am really keen to meet others from Australia, because so far i have not met any on the other board, although i have met some lovely people from america on there.
Looking forward to some good communication on here, I dont want to quit you, Brokeback, you have become part of my life now.

Katie,
Welcome!
On top my head, I can think of 3 people from Australia, Ray, hungry_hungryhippos, and Aussie_Chris. Get in touch with them, they are all great people. Ray is the director of the current BetterMost production "Broken Arsed Mountain". You will get a real kick reading that thread. Yeah, we know how to have some fun here. :)

I'm Fabienne, from Belgium, married, two daughters, two cats. I've been on this board for a while now, it's fun!
will you be at the euro brokie meeting in London?

Hi,
My name is Jane, live in Canada, and found this site via LJ, the Laramie Saga and of course love the Ennis & Ellery thread. Figured I should introduce myself after lurking here for a few days ;D
Great site and was really intrigued when I saw the Chez Tremblay thread, not a common name outside of Quebec (as you can guess it’s my name too). Going to go now and check out the other threads.

Hi,
I like what you said in your post! A lot of folks that were so so affected by BBM had never joined anything like this before, me included. Certainly BBM's impact was unprecedented.

Hi, Everybody - I'm Lauren and I'm from Maine. I posted last night on the main discussion thread and then realized this morning that I should have come here. I'm another one who has discovered forums because of Brokeback Mountain.

Hi there, I'm Amber. I'm a sadly umemployed 26-year-old law school graduate who's married and the proud "mother" of two cats (Peyton and Petunia). I'm currently from Spokane, Washington but spent most of my life in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I've been floating around BetterMost for awhile and finally decided to stop into this board. Glad I did. :)

Hi everybody,
My name is Geri. I'm 38, mother of two daughters and a tabby cat named Ricky. I am a nurse by profession. Also I have enjoyed dejaying for the past ten years . I have lived in upstate New York since my parents immagrated us over from Ireland 36 years ago.
I came here from IMDb Boards a few months ago. Thanks to Rolands invite. I have been very active playing the games here,(and have met alot of wonderful and imaginative Brokies in doing so) but have come to relize that I have not ventured out too far to meet the rest of you! I have been reading all of your posts and you all seem like such a great bunch of people so I would like to say "Hello" to you all!
Oh and one question ... who is Chez Tremblay?

Oh and one question anyways... who is Chez Trembay?
Chez Tremblay, or CT as it is often referred to, is a community of people who all share one common interest: Brokeback Mountain! Started back in January, 2006, CT was an attempt to flee the troll-ridden ruins of the Original Brokeback Mountain Board on Internet Movie Database (IMDb). A few members, along with our founding father Brandon (EnnisDelMar), ventured off into the beyond and started the 'Pierre Tremblay' board in a hidden area of IMDb. Unfortunately, we were invaded by trolls in mid March and decided to make a major move here to BetterMost.net. Since then, CT has evolved into an ever popular and continuously growing community of friends who come together to discuss everything from the film to themselves.

Hi Geri! My partner in crime on the Lines Visualised thread I am very happy you are here with us. Pierre Tremblay was the second assistant director on BBM. Read Chris's post on the Welcome center for a full description of how we came to be. After David ( the Stud Duck) contacted him throught the Director's Guild, Pierre and his wife Nicole use to post with us on his board at IMDb answering questions about the production.

Hey Vic and Chris,
Ok that makes sense. I always wondered why he had a community to himself. And it was the only one you had to be logged on to enter. Now I know. Thank you!
Vic..lets not let BBM lines visulized die out! It's one of the best!

Yes I seen them...adorable! That thread really had a magic all of it's own. Actually it always cheered me up. Got to keep hunting for pics even though it's a little harder now but I know there is loads out there. Or maybe.... we could come up with another idea or theme we could all jump on again!
P.S I loved your work over there because you told alot of the story through passages from the book. Very interesting.
maybe this will stir some new people to check it out???

Hi, my name is Lynda and I'm an 34 year old woman from the Netherlands. I'm happily married and working as an office manager.
I stumbled upon this forum through Louisev's LJ (Laramie Saga) and I am so glad to find out that I'm not the only Brokeback fan that still 'recovering' from the movie.

No, you're not the only one by a long shot, Lynda. Welcome. Though most of us here may not be crying ourselves to sleep anymore over this movie, we are still talking about it, playing it out (check the Performance thread--you'll be hooked!), and just generally enjoying each other's company. It's a great community of rather wacky people, who are also very loveable.
Welcome also to all the people who have come over to say hi and introduce yourselves to us in the past few weeks. Sorry I wasn't here to personally say howdy when it happened. We are always glad to see new people, and hope you'll stick around for a good spell.

Welcome EVERYONE!
(And a special welcome to Amber, my fellow Washingtonian.) I hope you all find little niches here and there on BetterMost to call home, AND play the field all around. There's so much goodness here, there's Never Enough Time, Never Enough.

My name is Marcia. My husband, six dogs, two goats and a chicken flock of fluctuating sizes live in west-central Missouri, not far from Kansas City. My family moved to Atlanta, GA from south Florida when I was 10, grew up in north Atlanta and went to school at University of Georgia. I moved to the Kansas City area in 1988. My husband and I met in 1985 and married in 1991.
My long list of jobs includes executive secretary, Target cashier, editorial assistant, museum "specialist", tax preparer and legal secretary and I did several years of feature and ad copy writing in Atlanta. Most recently, I've been resurrecting and renovating some rusty writing skills with a fanfiction project at LiveJournal under the name "Talks to Coyotes".
Long-time interests, aside from BBM, are history, especially the 19th century, Jesse James history, Third Reich/holocaust history; dogs, quilting (more interest in that than time to do it!), religion and philosophy.
Have been a member of the DC forum since February, and Louise introduced me to this one. I'm still in the process of looking around! :)

My name is Laurel. I live in Connecticut. I'm 44 years old, and married with two boys. Louisev introduced me to this forum. I love her Laramie Saga, so I will be spending a lot of time on the Ennis and Ellery thread, but I'm sure I will find other areas of interest, too. I've never joined anything like this before, but I was so moved by Brokeback Mountain that I feel the need to spend some time with people who understand how I feel.
-
Welcome To Bettermost Laurel.
Everyone here was deeply touched by Brokeback Mountain.
You're in good company! :D

Just reintroducing myself....been away for a couple months, one of them in Europe. Got back last week and the other day I had an e-mail regarding Chris. Thank God he's doing better now... I came here and I guess I'm a little nostalgic for the comraderie!
Anyhow,
Paul, 39, live in CT.

So many great, creative people here, all united in a common love for Ennis and Jack and their beautiful, ever-resonating story. So pull up closer to the campfire, let us pour you a cuppa whiskey, and have fun!

Hi, folks! I'm PJ, live in the UK, married (wedding anniversay today :)) and I have two gorgeous Devon Rex cats. I'm supposed to be studying for an exam I have next week, but thought I would take a little study break and introduce myself.
I've totally fallen in love with Ennis, Ellery and the whole Laramie Saga and am very much looking forward to seeing the discussions and pictures that are being posted on here.
-
well hello there! Let me be the first to welcome you over here, PJ, and glad to have you join our whacky discussion of the E&E Laramie Saga. You'll find it in Chez Tremblay under "Ennis and Ellery." In the Fanfiction section you will also find extensive galleries illustrating the wide ranging cast of the Saga made by our own multitalented Lucise, as well as fan art, props, recipes by contributing fans as well. It is a thriving community, and we are often found in the Chat section (see the red lips on the top menu) chatting away about the current chapters.
And feel free to say hi to everyone else... there are many OTHER features on Bettermost too!

Greetings, Chuck!
Glad to see you revive this venerable thread. Noticed you making you presence known on the BBQ thread, in light of your visiting all the gang in Estes Park. Thanks for posting so many of those great pictures; I was writing FRiend Lee that it really is the next best thing to having been there.
Any-hoo, welcome to BetterMost, and I hope you enjoy your online visits to this great site. In my humble opinion, it is the single most loving and visionary site on the entire Web.
Cheers,
Scott(also gay and single! :D)
