Hi everyone, thought I'd do the polite thing and start out by introducing myself. Got invited over here by Meryl, and I also briefly posted at the ImdB boards while that was the place to be.

My Brokeback story's a common enough one, I suppose: Read the short story back in November and was completely captivated, started going online for information and discussions of the story and the film, saw the film in mid-January and walked around in a speechlessly stunned daze for days after that. Started posting a lot about it, mostly discussions in LJ-land over several months. Now I've just gotten hold of the DVD and the love is as strong as ever. So - here I am, and very glad to be here with you! Better late than never.  :)

And can I just say - I love the cowboy emoticons!  :D

Welcome, welcome.  Any friend of Meryl's...  We love the cowboy emoticons too.  I predict this is the only BBM forum where you'll find them, and just an indicator of how crazy we all are!  Looking forward to getting to know you, Mikaela.

Yay, Mikaela. I'm glad you made your way here.  :-* Tell you what, friend, it's nice to talk to some new people and stop boring the rest of my LJ f-list to tears!

And I like the cowboy emoticons, too.
Watch out. That poster has a low startle point.
