Today A Year Ago

    It happened a year ago. A full year has passed since 17th of June 2011.

    It was the day when we all met up. We met up lovely people there. A good deal of lovely forum members. There was a nice guy, a blond one, Garry, do you remember him? And another guy, a very tall one, who came to us and talked to us. What was his name again? I think it was like some type of cheese or something similar. I really can't recall his name. But he was nice, too, wasn't he?

    That sounds like such a lovely occasion! Would have been much better had I been there.

    In all seriousness, it does sound lovely, what a wonderful opportunity.

    Poor Garry seemed scared to death at first, but then he relaxed. I will NEVER forget looking into John's eyes. They're even more intense in person.

    Yes, for those who weren't here: In May 2010, John announced he would be making a tour of England with his one man show. Lozzy said it would be fun if we all went, and we all bought tickets. We met at a pub in Oxford for lunch and beer, and some of us were there for 4 hours! Then we split up for a bit (Zelda and I got lost), and reconnected in a coffee shop before the show. Then...then...I was sitting in *the* best seat in the house! (Thank you Garry!) and John came out, and there he was, and then we were all downstairs behind brown gossamer curtains, and John came round the corner, and I grabbed a body part of the person sitting nearest me, and thank God it was Kisch, and thank God it was only her arm, and then he was there, with us! I still get a thrill remembering it. And we all had pictures taken, and I got to hug John, and he hugged me back. He gives good hugs. :x And he spoke Italian to our Italian friend, and Spanish to Dolly, and spent 20 minutes with us! Then a few of us went on a pub crawl, but Oxford rolled up its streets at midnight, so Zelda and I finally parted at 12:30am, and there being no buses or taxis nearby, I sailed back 3 miles to the B&B where I was staying. Oh, what a night!

    What a time!  It is so impossible to believe it has been a year that it is more real now than then.  Damn the riots afterwards but in perspective it was nothing.  I found England, clean, deamy and concilialtory.  I think I shall move some place there for a few months.  Life gets shorter.

    When JC walked through the drapes, there was a communal gasp and hormones were thick in the room:  perhaps we are still there. He gave his sincere all that evening. JC hung onto my waist as I was a little weak kneed but I managed to hold on for the many pictures, thank the Lord.  I am still hanging on and in my mind always shall.  What a night!  What a day!  What a memory!  All hail Sir John!   (I can it I want to).  Msthing and I were accosted by students on the way home but we were immune to their boyish attempts...pitiful children.    THANK YOU JACK CHEESE!

    Thank dear, JC.  What a fine 6 years on the forum...Zelda n Foote!

    Zelda, you and I walked out of the theater, and you seemed to be in a daze, and said, "All other men are dead to me now."

    And I, to make a *complete* fool of myself, was singing at the top of my voice: "I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy!"

    I was back at home singing, "in a little while from now, if I'm not feeling any less sour. I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower...."  ALONE AGAIN....naturally....

    Yes, and I enjoyed it, and was happy for everybody, but can't I keep riding the pity wagon just a little bit longer here? You guys and gals would have loved me had I showed up, had I been able, I would have had a great time. I had a great time at home, though. Not really. I was miserable. BUT I was happy for all of you. I would have loved you people, but I don't love you right now. Nope. You got to go and I didn't. Wah Wah Wah Wah. sob sob.   :-((

    (You're supposed to say, ride that pity wagon, girl! Ride it!)

    Well thank you, heart of gold, Zelda. I almost died this year, but what do you care. You were off partying. I wouldn't mind getting a room with a shrink if he was good looking and lusty. Maybe I'm just hungry, come to think of it. Yes, that's it. Wonder if I need a salad?
