It's that dawning comprehension...
This is probably the dumbest thing EVER, but I'm so happy right now I literally have tears in my eyes. Why? Because Thomas James O'Leary hasn't abandoned us after all, and I'm not the last fan left in existence.
Yes, that was overly dramatic. I am SO fucking lame.
I was just Googling him for shits and giggles like I occasionally do, and it turns out he has a fan page on Facebook, upon which I immediately hit the "become a fan" button. And as usual I must have been the last person in the world to learn about this, because among his 53 fans I saw two phans from The Good Old Days, Daunna and Carolyn, who I used to correspond and trade with. That was what really brought on the tears of happiness, because I sometimes wondered what had ever become of them, and if they still cared too.
He also did an interview with the owner of phantomsmasquerade.com (which looks like a vaguely dubious fan convention but that's another thing entirely) which, after reading it, makes me feel... better about the whole "he disappeared into a black hole after leaving Phantom" thing. It doesn't seem like he wanted to escape his fans at all. This is probably making no sense. Well, at least eclecticmuse will understand me.
I'm going to go try to faceplant back into my pillow now, but I had to share my joy, even if it does come across as incredibly strange and weird and batshit.
