Four years ago today

No. Way.

Four years? It took kiltsandlollies to remind me.

And it still makes my heart clench.

There will never be another Oscar night like that one.

ION, I think my eyeballs froze in my head this morning during the short walk from the bus stop to work.

Winter? You've most certainly worn out your welcome.

whining, oscars, lotr

It was indeed a memorable night,but I bet, even on a night like that, they didn't have frozen eyeballs!

Honestly, I can't take much more cold weather.

There are only so many layers a woman can wear!

Heh. And I'm sitting here in a t-shirt and shorts. Gotta love L.A.

And yeah, what a night that was. Kinda spoiled the Oscars for me; haven't really had any interest since. (Except for watching Jon.)

I'll never forget that moment of leaping to my feet with 1100 other people, all of us screaming at the top of our lungs. And all of them on the stage later on, telling us their stories, and thanking US. It was so magical. *sigh*

I know I ruined my friend's Oscar party that year, because looking back on it, I really was obnoxiously excited during the whole ceremony. I would have given anything to have been able to watch it with fellow fans.

AMEN, sweetheart!!!

Thank you so much for linking to kiltsandlollies' post:
this brought back so many happy memories of staying up all night (heh, different time zone), being online and squeeing with friends every time ROtK got yet another Oscar!
Gosh, is that really 4 years ago???

Hm, winter... I hope your eyeballs have thawed by now!
Over here it's more like autumn: storm and rain, not so great either.

*mwah*

*mwahs you back*

It was like a collective meeting of minds! Think of the energy!

How's your mother doing?

*sigh* Ah yes, what a wonderful night that was! I'll never forget it. I have the whole Oscar show on DVD from that night, too. One of the ladies from our local Tolkien group made DVD's and handed them out at a later event. It's a nice momento. I need to pull that out and watch again.

You do?! I had recorded it on VHS but later somehow managed to record something over part of it! *headdesk* Damn, if I could get my hands on a DVD...

I have a crappy VHS.

Maybe I'll watch that tonight. :)
