Brokeback got me good.

And proud to have been one of the first viewers, on that snowy and chilly New York morning of Dec. 9. 2005.

Kelda, I feel that way too. :)


I checked my profile and apparently I registered here February 21. Must have been around the time I came out of my BBM induced coma :D

Luigi, I didn't realize you were in NYC then.  Too bad I didn't know you yet!  ;D

I only first saw BBM in Aug of 07 but I feel like I have known it for longer. I watched the movie again last night with my dad and I still get moved every time I see it. I am very happy I was able to see this and I honestly feel sorry for those who haven't.

Kristin, nice to see you here!  8)

Amanda, Chuck, buffy, Kelda and Artiste, thanks for your wonderful posts, too.  I never get tired of hearing how people reacted to BBM.   :)

In under three years, I've been to 12 states, and the UK.  Before BBM, I was a homebody.  I've done stuff I've never done before.  Gone on hay rides, ridden horses, danced the Virginia Reel and learned to two-step.  Met friends all around the world. 

I've exchaged phone numbers, addresses, emails, presents, ornaments, and done so much.

I went from being the oldest child in my family, to being "adopted" and am now the "baby" of 5 "Brokie Brothers"  (ShakesTheGround, SouthEndMD, RobInPuyallup & LoneLeeB3).  These 4 guys have no idea how much that means to me.

;D

This Brokie adventure has had many benefits to me, and that's why I keep coming back, and will always.

Have there been "bumps" in the road?  Sure.  But the positives waaaaaaaaaay outweigh the negatives.

You're the busiest, baddest Brokie I know, Chuck.  Bless your heart.  ;)

...next week we'll eat dinner at the new restaurant in Brooklyn that was his pet project.
Oooh, I am so looking forward to that report, John and Meryl!!

I never thought about it that way, but I love this!

Though it's quiescent at the moment, never fear, the PT shall be completed.  Let this be a call to action, fellow thespians! 
I'm ready, and I'll be glad to corral LauraGigs to play Ennis again!

I haven't yet traveled overseas to visit Brokies, but I've met some from far-flung places, like Mikaela (Norway), Reanna (India), Rayn (South Korea), Fabienne belbbmfan (Belgium), Anke Pipedream (Germany) and Sheyne (Australia).
wow that is so impressive!


See you for the Four Effin' Years anniversary next December!  8)
You bet, friend!!

Great thread, Meryl.

Today is my Third BBM Anniversary. 

Wow, what a three years it has been.  My time logged-in has recently clicked over to 100 days.

My life has been enriched by meeting so many wonderful Brokies, both online and in real life. 

I still love playing the ABCs of BBM game. 

Jack and Ennis are never far from my thoughts.

Never far from my vision, either, literally. I still have the framed small printout of the autographed movie poster hanging right in front of me over my desk here at the office, and now my home is graced by a recreation of the Dozy Embrace with a pair of cowboy action figures, one with dark hair, dressed in blue with a black hat, one with blond hair, dressed in tan with a white hat.  :)

Thanks, Lee, for taking time to reply to all those things!   :-*


Today is my Third BBM Anniversary. 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, COWBOY!  :-*

And I hope you're still donning the Sacred Garments from time to time before you go out on a Saturday night.... ;)
