A belated very happy birthday to
turps33! Terri, you're the sweetest person around and I hope you had a great day. ♥
So it's been almost a year since
the greatest thing of all great things ever happened, and I think maybe what I love the most about it is that I still get the happiest feeling whenever I think about it. The thing with me (and I'm assuming most people) is that I always like to embellish. After their soundcheck in '05, I was always thinking, "I should've said something else, something more, and I could've done this and this instead so it would've been cooler." But with this one, there is literally nothing I would change. I still see the way he lit up with interest when I mentioned my heart surgery, and the way he reached out to shake my hand a second time, and his "just a few months before me, huh?" And I'll start GRINNING on my way to school, or on the crosstrainer, or wherever it happened to randomly pop into my head. And it's not a happy feeling in a "we belong together" creepy kind of way - just that he was so nice, and it was so important to me, and he seemed to understand that. I feel all content and happy and "yes, it happened exactly like it was supposed to" when I think about it. That makes no sense! But in a WEIRD way, you know, I kind of don't want to meet him ever again, because I don't see how any meet and greet is ever going to top what I already got.
So, yes! The gist of this is to say, kids, meet Brian Littrell if you get the chance, because he is AMAZING and I'll never stop crushing on the guy.
In other news, I have really been getting into reading longer stories again. I haven't actually had the urge to read fic for a couple of years, but it's like. There are Harlequin Panic stories, where Brendon and Spencer play fake boyfriends, or Jon and Spencer are FBI agents who hate each other (but totally don't), and. I am powerless. There is Ryan tutoring Brendon in high school and the thought just makes me so happy. (I have turned angst-repellant in my old age!) My to-read list is so long right now it's ridiculous, but I'm kinda liking it. Damn you, Panic. ♥
Also! I think I am finally going to migrate to gmail. This is weird, I've had my hotmail for ten years. But it is perhaps time to take the leap! My life, so exciting.
