Hey everyone!
I see some old, familiar faces around here. Warm and fuzzy feelings all around. There are also lots of new folks, which is good. Life and message boards go on, I guess.
I just thought since I dropped in from outer space I should acknowledge my random entry and mysterious departure. Hi!! I can't say why exactly I stopped coming to the boards... shit got busy I guess. I still love this place and I still love Ben, I just can't go thinking about it 24 hours a day anymore, which I suppose is a good thing. "Not that there is anything wrong with that!"
So, let's see... what has happened? Well, the biggest thing I guess is that I am a married woman now. Bet you never thought that would happen. PFF and I tied the knot in a beautiful wedding last April after a mere 10 years of courtship. Marriage is great. Our daily lives have not changed, but said 10 year courtship pretty much prepared us for growing old together. And my beautiful shiny ring acts like a disco ball when the light is right. We are still in LA, and he is finding a lot more steady work these days.
I wish I had 2 and a half years of good gossip, but basically I'm just the same. Older, but I don't look it yet. Mouths drop when I mention my age, and I'm just now at the point where I'm not insulted at how old everyone thought I was. Ben still rocks my word, but I am less consumed with it. I forget to preorder stuff, I don't chase bootlegs, I still get all the article alerts, but only guiltily file them away and force the thoughts about my fallen website to the back of my mind. That said, I still HAVE to go to both shows every time Ben comes to LA. I can't skip one. Two shows are better than one!
Anyway, hi everybody. I miss you guys.
