Ugh. I just left a fandom that I've been in for almost a decade, and since I left I've been watching people flee my flist at my main journal, frayach. It's weird. For years I've been adding friends, and now I'm removing them. I'm very thankful for this journal.
So I needed some cheering up. Here's my list of happy-making things:
I grew up in New Hampshire as did Randy. When he was 11, we lived 62 miles apart. Even more exciting, I saw him in the world premiere Pop!, in which he played Andy Warhol. The play was absolutely brilliant, but in 2009, I didn't have the foggiest clue who Randy was. Like I said, I'm a late-comer to QaF. Here's the theater review by the notoriously vicious Charles Isherwood. Plus an article about Randy in the vaunted NY Times and some photos. It really was a fun play. Hubs and I saw it and then took friends to see it again.
I'm two days shy of sharing a birthday with Gale.
I went to law school in the same town where Peter grew up and even lived there for a year.
My parents live in the same city in which Scott was adopted, and he grew up in one of the towns abutting the city I currently live in.
Like Robert Gant, I majored in English Literature at a public university. Plus he was born on the same day as my grandfather.
Michelle was in "Judging Amy" which was filmed in the city I worked in for 4 years after I graduated from law school - for a judge nonetheless.
And like Hal, I used my CPR skills to heroically resuscitate an unconscious elderly man at the L.A. airport . . .
Er, maybe that last one might not be completely 100% true. I actually resuscitated an unconscious baby at Laguardia. But close enough, right?
And just in case we're wondering what Justin sounded like when he sang in Brian's shower, here's some insight:
Goodbye sweetie- we will miss you here. It's been so quiet in this lj fandom- but I still pop in from time to time & will definitely be sad that you are gone. Good luck & much happiness always! Terri
I just finished binge watching the U.S. Queer as Folk, and now I get to read your QaF fanfiction! This makes me very happy. It's not the first time that I've watched a show…
It's a bit unusual (okay, a lot unusual), but there's just so much stuff on my damn hard drive that I don't want to go entirely to waste. This particular unfinished story is cute, isn't it? It's…
