Yes Liz....We found ourselves in Tish...lovely spunky firecracker good hearted pistol Tish...Thankyou Tricia..
**************************************************
: You are right DW, we could all identify with Tish... I think this was the magic in Tricia's story... Up to a point, every single one of us was Tish...

: : Hi Liz..Those times ............were so wonderful to me...I remember....not being able to wait to open up my computer and answer some silly and wonderfully entertaining response from someone...I was on cloud 9 when we all met in Montreal...I was...........floating...and reading Tricia's stories..glorious...se xy....romantic....I mean....she had to have been writing about me....about you...about Jam...about Jenny ...about all of us...It just felt personal...It just felt like love was in the air....heightened energy...that was how I felt...in those days...Oh how I remember waiting for those se xy sagas....really turned me on...words on a page...
: : That was then....I still love John Cusack....my most favourite forever movie star, human being...but I do miss you guys immensely....I miss Liz, Julia, and my wonderful Jam and Jenny...my heart...
: : I just wanted to tell you guys...By the Way....I spend winters in the US ....warm states....I am presently in Arizona with my sister...We are driving to Alberta on the 9th of April...I will be back in Vancouver by the 20th...coincidentally the same time my hero's new project begins filming...so if anyone can help me with locations....I would very very much appreciate being told.
: : thankyou in advance..

: : : Hey Bee!
: : : Julia was faster and already sent me the picture Tricia made of John and me... (Yes! This picture was taken quite a few years ago!!!)
: : : I also have the whole story (thanks again to Julia!). That's over 308 pages! (Arial, 8 points)
: : : I remember awaiting for every next chapter at work, because I did not have internet at home then...
: : : And I remember of a Friday when Tricia had written a chapter and for some reason, I could not get it at work, even with the help of the IT technicians at work...
: : : I remember Jenny being really upset because I was about to spend the whole weekend without knowing what was happening to Tish...
: : : Do you remember Jenny? She was only 16 then (her favourite passtime was poking Lloyd Dobbler's nose!)... Molly got kind of aggravated because Tricia's story was a little.. hum... well, you know... 
and this was a family board... 
: : : Eventually, to solve my problem, that Friday, Tricia simply posted that chapter on the board, so I could copy it and toke it home to read...
: : : As Judy and Molly were saying before, this was not only about John Cusack... It went much, much further... I too have very dear friends I met here...
: : : Plus, as I am reading the posts, I'm thinking about those days... and some names come back...
: : : Of course, when I saw DW's post, I just went "Doh!"... Stupid me! Especially that I had the chance to meet her... (Where on h ell are you to say "at home in Vancouver", do you, again, spend the winter in Hawaii?)
: : : Then, I also think of Soon, MaverickGlam, Tweaty...
: : : And then.. there are those I do not remember the names...
: : : Do you remember the lady who made quilts? She had made a fantistic one about JC.s movies...
: : : You know what, at a certain time, you told me I seemed to be one of the old gang who still posted regularly...
: : : Then, not that long ago, Molly was wondering where was the old gang and I answered we were just waiting for "something interesting" to happend...
: : : Da mn! Why on earth does it take something so awful to happend to keep contact?
: : : Yes, Tricia's stories had a big impact on us... In her honour, I vow to keep in touch with the people I love... No more Scarlet O'Hara's thinking anynore... Tomorrow never comes!
: : : You write to me, I will answer within a week! Scout's honour!
: : : Liz
