I'm afraid I may never be able to watch either Heath or Jake in anything else. They are forever and completely Ennis and Jack for me. For their sakes, I hope my reaction isn't common!

I'm more or less planning to buy the full-screen DVD, too.

Sparkle_motion! What do mean, Ennis and Jack not real?!?!?! "Yes, sparkle-motion, there is an Ennis and a Jack. ..."

Oh, how to count them all

Wake up each morning thinking about Ennis and Jack-who are quite real in my head.

Owning all things BbM

Constant tears

Frequently unable to listen to the sound track because it is too emotional

Having a whole 'nother secret like with Jake Gyllenhaal-who I didn't care a fig about before this and-don't shoot me-he wasn't even my favorite.

Constantly checking the message boards.

Now you've put the idea in my head of traveling to Europe to find a theatrical showing!

I am a freak

Oooh! Thanks for reminding me, RouxB. I haven't dared listen to the sound track in weeks because I'm afraid of how I'll react!

David--

Stay away from 'Monster's Ball.' You'd never survive it.

I know--I almost didn't. No one warned me. I had to revive myself with a viewing of "A Knight's Tale."

For me, the list is endless but right now I think it would have to be writing fanfic. You guys don't want to know how many hours I spend on this...and it is all I want to do. I wake up thinking of dialogue, fall asleep writing more...I was up at 5 am this morning working on the latest installment.

You know what?  I'm sure I speak for alot of us, when I say Thank you, Leslie.  I know how hard it is and I hope you know it's appreciated.. Your stories make my day.

For me its thinking that they're real.  I have a constant vision in my head of what happens between the time they leave Alma and are in bed talking.

Yes, Leslie, they do. (You too, Jeff!)

In re: 'Monster's Ball'--do you realize that Heath's last line (delivered to Billy Bob Thornton) is:

"Well, I always loved you."

Devastating.

Me, too, Deedee!  Often that's part of my morning reverie, it actually goes back and forth between filling in, so to speak, the rest of the 2nd tent scene (hell, and the 1st, too, for that matter), and the space between leaving the apartment and the afterglow in the motel.

Then there's the little matter of my rather violent reaction to the (gag) announcement of the Best Picture (gag again) winner on March 5.  Still seems completely rational to me, though.   >:(
