nostalgia wave hitting me. boom.

[amelialourdes]

I just realized that it's September and that means that it's been some five four years since Queer as Folk ended? Five years, yo. That's a long time. Since I've never been able to let it go then it feels like just yesterday to me. So, because of my inactivity at work, I'm going to have to jump on to that nostalgia bandwagon. Join me for a little while, will you?

- B/J spoilers in the Yahoo Groups (because they had awesome spoilers)
- Andrea's (sandstorm's) site with just the episode clips on them that we got to see ahead of time. Oh man. I was the worst spoiler virgin ever. As soon as I knew those clips were up then I ran to that site and was like, "I'll just look at one ... okay, two. Maybe all of them." I sucked.
- Everyone being secretive about spoiler tapes and yet for some reason like half of us had them. We never told anyone else though. We just knew that we had them and were keeping that to ourselves.
- And with that said ... gotfolk :)
- brianakinney and justintheartist? I was strangely addicted. I hated original characters but Michael Rappaport will always be Brog to me and Ashton Kutcher is Brian's cousin. Forgot his name though. :|
- The fact that Randall never finished The Quiet Men will forever kill me. Well, that and the Season Six he was writing. I shall miss. :(
- Is It May Yet?
- Did anyone go to the summer Babylon events? I went to Ancient Babylon up in Vancouver since you had to be 21 to get into the ones in the States and only 19 to go to the ones in Canada. I got a Qaf shirt there. I was also 19 that year.
- Randy in Wicked and becoming ridiculously obsessed with the musical. My favorite Elphaba is Eden.

Anyone got more?

Almost the six year "anniversary" of when I went to see Peter Paige in La Jolla and Jonathan B. at the premiere of his movie. Oh man. I went through some trauma that weekend. My first time (and last for Jonathan) ever seeing them both and Peter's play was scheduled on the same day as Jonathan's premiere. Thankfully, the playhouse allows you to exchange tickets so I just went on Saturday instead of Sunday. Or one of those weekend days. Crisis averted.

Qaf recap 107 and 109 coming up this weekend!

Apparently I was so much of a lurker at the time that I don't remember any of this... Except Randy and "Wicked". I actually wanted to watch it when it came here, but then the thought of everything in German scared me off.:| In 2005, I was still very much focused on the earlier seasons. And trying to figure out how to make my mother watch the show with me.:)

Oh man, you should've gone to check it out! I've heard so many fantastic things about international casts and Germany's up there with a great cast. Music transcends language, that's for sure. Aw, memories! I don't even know how I managed to get my mom to watch some episodes with me but she remembers more than I thought she would! We turned the TV to Qaf last night and she was like, "Is this the episode where Brian kicks Justin out?" Haha.

Yes, I've only heard good things about it here as well. You're probably right, but all I could think of was that, most of the time, I hate listening to things in German.:/
I wish my mother would remember that much. Every time I refer to QaF (which I still do too often :)), she doesn't have a clue. With the exception of Emmett, she really loves Emmett.
