(sigh) all alone and no one to talk to about my dearest, loveliest, Mr. Northam... Where is everyone?

At church?

Last few messages before the move: Topic 4 of 4 [austenarchive]: Another Drooling Topic - Of the Knightley/Northam Variety Response 78 of 86: winter (winter) * Fri, Jan 31, 1997 (22:35) * 12 lines (drool...drool...drool) WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL THIS TIME! Thank GOD I've found other JN devotees! I thought I must've been going crazy! (looking in the browers five times a week or so for any more info on JN isn't considerd psychotic here, is it?) you know, i've been wondering the same thing about JN's possible reaction to seeing TWO sites devoted to him (Kaffeine and the JN World Wide). I somewhat feel awkard myself when i imagine him discovering his face and voice plastered all over the WWW. i mo stly wonder what he must think of us! JEREMY, IF YOU'RE READING THIS: I love you! Have a secret rendevous with me! Or how 'bout just getting together for drinks?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 4 of 4 [austenarchive]: Another Drooling Topic - Of the Knightley/Northam Variety Response 79 of 86: Kali Pappas (Kali) * Sat, Feb 1, 1997 (03:57) * 5 lines JEREMY, IF YOU'RE READING THIS: I love you!

Oh, on a side note, the other day in chat, Amy crowned Kaff Queen of Northamland (by proxy, b/c Kaff wasn't there!), and granted her dual citizenship here in the Republic of Pemberley. I was appointed Ambassador to Northamland and Monaco. ;) __ I said Kaf, as queen (I assume her crown is uncontested) could have dual citizenship, of course. What inspired all this nonsense was Cheryl's mention of how her titles would look on a business card: For anyone who wants her own title and has some kind of paint program, there is a blank card at: http://www.spring.com/~amy/card.gif

Oops, that is not right. The blank card is called pemcard.gif http://www.spring.com/~amy/pemcard.gif

Joan wants to be Administrative Assistant to Andrew Davies (who has applied for citizenship so he can work in our national studio), only if Mr. Davies conception of the position does not include typing.

I just love that card amy! I've been flashing it all over Pemberley to be sure that I am treated with the respect and awe such titles obviously instill in everyone!

But Cheryl, those of us who know you would always treat you with exactly the amount of respect which you deserve. And your titles are AWESOME!

Kathleen: But Cheryl, those of us who know you would always treat you with exactly the amount of respect which you deserve. Exactly what I'm afraid of!

Alright ladies-if Cheryl enjoys dual citizenship, Kaff is Queen, and Kal-Princess of Northamland-Where does that leave me? Court jester??? A reminder: For any of you who don't know there is a small, but delectable pic of our dear JN in the feb. Instyle-complete with sunglasses.

I guess so, Cass! ;) Amy, not to seem whiny, but I liked MY original title for this topic! :::)

Amy, not to seem whiny, but I liked MY original title for this topic! :::) Well, Kali, as the queen, I suppose I could order that it be changed!! Cassandra - You could be Lady-in-Waiting - no, not for me, for Jeremy! Actually, now that I think about it - wanna trade titles?!

Hmm-Lady in waiting-that's starting to grow on me. Although, I think I would prefer him waiting in me. You know-Cheryl keeps telling me that we will eventually have to arm-wrestle for him.

I suppose that we really should let him choose. We'll just each have to spend a night? week? month? with him and then he can declare the winner!

absolutely! JN MUST decide... i'd say one week trials, and by the end of the "trial season" he must decide on one. if he likes, he should have the option of having a 'runner up' (in case things don't work out with the first). and consolation prise for the unlucky ones is a long, passionate kiss on the mouth and a full body embrace! (that's not too much to ask considering what the winner gets). ---------- p.s.: we've heard about "mimic' coming out in march, what about 'the tribe'?

Hey! What about ME???!!!! I'm Northamland ROYALTY, for cryin' out loud!

#18-Winter(Is that your stage name?)-Don't get me started again on embraces. I feel a song coming on. You go to my head like a thousand july's. You intoxicate my soul with Your eyes...... This might be a stupid question. But, does everyone have the Miramax edition of Emma, complete with delectable pictures from the film. My personal favorite-Jeremy, looking ever so Knightley-like, being grilled by Emma and Mrs Weston concerning his rumoured affection for Jane Fairfax. Very Elegant!

cassandra (and everyone else): yes, winter is a stage name. my real name is VERY common and i've seen it show up on so many conferences,newsgroups, etc. that i just got sick of it and used winter (a character in the 'star wars' books) instead. i hated getting flamed for things i never said. hope you all of you don't mind. jeremy northam DOES look quite knightly-esque in that scene. my favorite scene (and it was mentioned before) was at the ball when he asks emma with whom she was planning on dancing. oh... don't get me started! [i'm staring at my two pictures of JN that i have taped on the wall in front of me: that sexy pose from "the net" (slight turn of the head, soulful glance) and a picture of knightly giving emma a nuzzle. oh dear! ] hey! anyone know how we can send a valentine to jeremy? i'm sure he'd love it!

Kali - You get your week, just like everyone else! So quit yer bitching! Cassandra (Is Cas or Cass okay for short?) - I may lose my crown over this, but I never purchased that edition of the book! I do have the book on tape, though - does that count?!

Actually, the pic's in the miramax edition are smallish and only in black-&-white...I didn't buy it b/c I alread have two copies of the book and figured it would be a waste of my cash... --- My WEEK? A whole WEEK? And what if he decides that he likes me BEST? ;)

Kaff-Cass is fine. About the book, I am not the head of the Northam police. Such is my JA and now my JN addiction that I couldn't resist buying it. I think I have three copies of Emma, four of P&P, one of the making of P&P...the list goes on and on. My friends find me to be the easiest person to shop for and please. I don't think I ever met an edition of a JA novel that I didn't like. Even with the black and white pics, this version is lovely. When I first opened it, I saw that Knightlesque pic and my hea t cried out...Those twinkling eyes! That profile! Those dark, wavy curls that you want to run your fingers through! But, since I didn't have any money on me, I had to go first to the bank machine. When I expressed concern at leaving the book in the shop, my sister rudely retorted-Who would want to buy that?(misinformed child) And as you probably have guessed- when I returned, someone had indeed snatched it away. Distraught but not defeated, I spent the next week hunting it down(think Mission Impossible music), until I finally found it behind some dusty books in a quaint, bohemian bookstore in the trendy Glebe section o Ottawa. Oh in case you are wondering-I am sane. There's just such a shocking lack of information and pics.

Cass, have you been to Kaff's site? She has tons o' pix in brilliant technicolor! Also, there are some nice photos at the Miramax Emma site. --- Guys, I'd expect Firth to be ahead of us at this point, but Ciaran hinds is already three messages up! Let's get DROOLING!!!!

Kali-to answer your question-yes, I have. In those long, summer days before Emma came out, I would fawn over those pictures at the Miramax site! I just see so little of him in magazines, except for the People article. But, once again-thank-you Kaff! I esecially love the GAtsbyesque pose from Fatal Inversion. I can't wait to see that one! I love the articles too-Jeremy coming in on his white horse to save the production of Hamlet, so strong and capable-very Knightley-like! Plus, I read that he broke up wit some girlfriend. May that situation remain the same, that is until he choses one of us. And-I was thinking the same thing about the Hinds situation. My Mother and I watched Persuasion last night(she's a complete Wentworthaholic) and she keeps trying to convince me of HInds sex appeal. To quote her-he's soooo intense. Go figure. And, I noticed that that Graves fellow is even gaining on us. I am shocked and grieved indeed. So, to help the drooling along: Describe your fantasy evening with the one and only JN-can be anywhere.(although let's keep details to a respectable and tasteful minimum. We wouldn't want to shock the poor guy, especially if he is reading this!)

Fantasy evening? Hmmm...well, if I have to keep it clean, then there's no point discussing it! ;)

Here, ladies, I'll help you. I have not seen Emma yet,too far and too uneducated here to be worth showing. So tell me what I am missing!;-) Cass- are you in Ottawa? We have to meet some time!

It's charming and funny, Caroline...Even if you don't think the tone is faithful to the book (which I think it is...), you will enjoy it. It is delightful - bright and sharp. It does, however, cut quite a bit, though it manages to stuff in most of the important plot elements (see the "Emma" topic on the Austen board). And Jeremy is so adorable... I must admit that I am more in love with Mr. Knightley than Jeremy (in fact, I'm not in love with Jeremy at all, though I do think he is quite attractive...), but Jeremy brings him to life...it's like channelling spirits or something...

Caroline-Do you really live in Ottawa? I go to school in London, but Ottawa is really is home, all my hangouts. I can't believe you didn't get to see Emma. I know it was playing for a long time at the World Exchange in Ottawa; I think my repeated visits kept it playing.(I've seen it ten times) I know they sometimes re-show it at the Mayfair theatre too, great vaudeville-turned movie house down on Bank. Anyways, when you do see it, I'm sure you will love it. It is truly one of the most charming, romantic, delightful films I have ever seen and for me, it was Emma. Like Kali said, some of the twists and turns are missing(like the party at Donwell when Frank makes his sudden appearance;Mr Woodhouse's main reason for giving his blessing to the E/K union), but the look, feel, spirit of Emma is there. Plus, the casting is great: GP makes a convincing and charming Emma, Spohie Thompson should get an Oscar as Miss Bates, and Jeremy Northam as KNightley.......Sigh. And Kali-I know exactly what you mean...I remember when I saw the Net, I thought JN was very talented, and of course, incredibly handsome. BUt JN as KNightley-what a powerful, irresistable combination. I'm know my ten trips to the theatre were largely because of this. For me, he was Mr Knightley: strong, capable, charming, smart, vulnerable, chivalrous, and of course-very, very romantic.

Just another thought: Guys, you know how I really feel about this Knightley fixation.....Anyone seen that Woody Allen film Play it again Sam where he's completely obsessed by Casablanca??? At the end of the movie, fantasy becomes reality when Woody finally gets his chance to say Bogie's "the problems of three little people in the world.." speech to Diane Keaton/Ilsa. And of course, his next line is-I've waited my whole life to say that.... Well, in a way(and don't call the guys with the white coats) that's how I fell about Emma. It's like I'm waiting to wake up with my hair coiffed in a GP bun and suddenly realize-no one must marry Mr Knightley but me..... WEll

God, I'm glad you guys said it. I know I'm in danger of being booted right off this thread, but Jeremy Northam does nothing for me. Mr. Knightley, however: oh, my! (Cheryl words here)

Ah, well, now you see why I'M the queen, and get to be first in line for him - for as much as I esteem his Mr. Knightly, I'll happily take him as Jack Devlin - or even as Jeremy Northam for that matter!

Now Kaff, If I actually got a chance to MEET the man, I might be impressed enough to actually fall in love with him. But until then, it's kind of lame to moon after a movie star I can't have. So until I run into Jeremy personally, I can't really say whether or not I'd have him sans Knightley persona. Pragmatism, pragmatism...;)

Kali - You can't let reality get in the way of a good drool! If I were to do that, I'd have to acknowledge that I'm happily married, and that even if I met Jeremy there is zero chance of my abandoning my husband for him. In order to enter the drool conference, you have to check reality in at the door!

Thanks, Kaff. Maybe Amy should put another new button at the top of the Drool Conference saying--Check Reality Here!!!;-) I've been doing that for quite some time, although I limit it to Topic 1 in this conference!!

Kaff -- what a marvelous idea. Then we could "tip" the young man at the "Reality Check" counter on our way out! (I have some suggestions for men to work that counter, too.) Without a reality check, it wouldn't make sense to fantasize about the characters, let alone the actors! (And we couldn't imagine becoming Emma on her wedding night.)

(And we couldn't imagine becoming Emma on her wedding night.) The ultimate for me! The character of Mr. Knightley has appeared in more of my fantasies that any other Jane Austen male.

Reality checking... terribly fun possibilities.

About reality checks-To paraphrase Blanche Dubois: I don't want reality, I want magic, magic!! And Susan-in case you are interested, my friend and I penned our own version of the newly married Mr and Mrs Knightley over at the Spring.

Bad news, folks - MIMIC's release has been postponed until sometime this summer. Personally, I think its all a giant conspiracy by Miramax to drive us insane. :)

MOre bad news-Emma won't be released on video until mid April. Miramax is really pushing for a best actress oscar nomination for GP.

#40 Cassandra, ditto on the reality checks. I get enough reality. And exactly where is this Mr. and Mrs. Knightley story? Thanks!

And what a hormonally-charged story it is! --- The bad thing about checking reality at the door is that I may never to back to retrieve it!

And what a hormonally-charged story it is! --- The bad thing about checking reality at the door is that I may never go back to retrieve it!

Oops! Note the typo I wasn't quick enough to correct in the first post...oh well...now we're ten messages ahead of that Hinds fellow...

can't let reality get in the way of a good drool! Why Kaff, that's so true and it is true the other way around too. When you have had your drool dose, it's time to look reality in the eye and cope with it, though it may sometimes lack refinement and romance. Kali, that ability can be achieved, though I won't pretend it comes without effort and pain ;=) Take it from the mouth of an old circus horse, carrying her plumage as high as ever Caroline Bingley.

Ann2 -- Caroline Bingley as a plumed circus horse, yes I can see it. With your help I finally realized of what she most reminded me! And she does perform for her audience, does she not? ; )

Susan-to answer your question, the story is over at Topic 43, somewhere between all the P&P2 scenes. I think it's at the Derbyshire writer's guild too. And What a hormonally-charged story.....I guess I did push the limits of the PG-13 rating, wanted to shake up the balance. I'm just a little tired of this Darcy drooling. Emma and Knigthley's romance is just as passionate as Darcy and Elizabeth.

#'s 40 & 49: Cassandra, I found and read your Emma and Knightley story... she even called him George. Wonderful!!! I quite agree that E & K deserve as many stories as Elizabeth and Darcy. Keep them coming, OK?!

Susan-I thank-you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really had fun writing it-writing is one of my passions. I already have some ideas for the next chapter. I just wish I could use some of that stuff for my creative writing class. BUt, then again,I wouldn't want to shock my Prof-very conservative type who still wears his black robes to class every day. I guess it cuts down on his clothing bill. Besides, his idea of interacting with the class, cutting loose so to speak, is spinning yarns about the good old days ith Sir Larry and the boys. WE think he means Olivier.

I liked it very much, Cassandra. I'm not good at creative stuff, but I have written Emma from the point of view of Jane and Frank - what happens between the Donwell Strawberry party and the end of the book in their minds...Cheryl is proofing and poking it around for me, but when it's ready, I'll start posting installments. I must admit, even I am beginning to love Frank! ;{ The next attempt will be their marriage, and then the mind of Miss Bates...

Kali-The story sounds great! I've always loved the Donwell party in the book, when Jane rushes off. I hope it's in the new Emma. And the mind of Miss Bates-that could take forever!!! I think we should start our own topic over at the Spring for New Emma scenes.

THere's more: I really enjoyed our JN/Knightley droolfest at Pemberley last night. Amongst his other attributes and obvious charms, I neglected to mention his name-Jeremey Northam; it rolls off the tongue so pleasantly, so easily-kinda like Mr George Knightley. HMMm: Jeremy-George/Knightley-Northam.......

Yes-there's still more. Besides, now that we've passed Mr Hinds, I think we should at least equal Mr Firth. Another song for my beloved JN. Hopefully, Noel Coward was right about the potency of cheap music. (Just joking) Gershwin Rules, along with JA!!!!!!! Once again I'm perched on a piano, Billie Holliday camellia in my hair: I've got a crush on you, sweety pie. All the day and nightime Hear me sigh. I never had the least notion, that I could fall with so much Emotion. Could you? Could you Care??? For a lovely cottage that we could Share.......... The world will pardon my mush. Cause I have got a crush-my BAAAAABY On YOuuuuuuu...........

Oh dear, Cass...now I'm getting worried...;-)

Cassandra, I loved your rebuke and love scenes at creative:s , Badly done, Emmma and Well done Knightley ,=)). To imagine they actually stayed outdoors in that soft night. Uhhmm And Kali, what joy to know that you are among those week souls that can't refrain from making their romantic inclination known to this board! Am looking forward to your contribution.

Ann2-I thank you for your compliments. There will be more when I get either time or inspiration. Kali-I'm really looking forward to reading your stories too. And CHeryl-Worried????Because I like Gershwin or Bille Holiday. At least, you don't have to hear my voice. Belive me others haven't been as fortunate.

I have written Emma from the point of view of Jane and Frank If you're interested, there's a book called "Jane Fairfax" by Joan Aiken. Its from St. Martin's Press, ISBN 0312058845. It tells the story of Emma from Jane's point of view. I didn't entirely agree with her take on how Jane and Frank got together, but it was an enjoyable read.

I think we should start our own topic over at the Spring for New Emma scenes. Please do! I have a contribution to make, inspired by Cassandra's story. It still needs a little work, but I wasn't sure where to put it when it was done.

Susan do not hesitate to post at topic 173 (?) creative something...Go to it ,lady!

I'll have to check that out, Kaff. I'm kinda torn b/t not wanting to pollute my mind with esssentially irrelevant stuff and reading everything I can about the characters I so loved in Austen's work. --- Yes, Ann2, I am weak indeed. But this level of peer pressure is unheard of in the normal course of life's events! --- Oh, and just for good measure...jeremy! JEREMY! JEREMY!!!! ;)

oh sweetie! have another dream last night? ;-)

I wish, Cheryl. I still haven't quite recovered form the last one. :}

I must admit that I am more in love with Mr. Knightley than Jeremy (in fact, I'm not in love with Jeremy at all, though I do think he is quite attractive...)... Can we say delusional? I got even Emma beat with lines like this...;)

Since I'm up, more drool fodder:

I've always liked that pic Kal, but it's also very frustrating...accustomed as I am to search for signs of dagginess, Jeremy's pose here is extremely vexing!

Oh Kali-THANK-YOU!THANK-YOU FOR THE PIC-one of my favorites, such a bewitching smile. I could say more, but this board is PG13. Everyone over at the Firth topic is always sighing over his gaze. And while not wishing to detract from Mr Firth's obvious charms, I must voice my admiration for beloved JN's gaze. Maybe it's not as intense as CF's, but all the same it is full of longing and vulnerability. One of my favs-the way he looks at Emma when she and Isabella are going to the dinner table, just before the cut to the Westons' Christmas party. I remember hearing a woman sigh in the theatre during this scene. It was probably me!

As the above seems to indicate, he's consciously aware of the dagginess factor. ;) I've never seen a daggy shot of Jeremy. Ever. He's immune. Ah, yes, his gaze! CF is good at the intense stare thing, but I'm afraid he's a one-trick pony. Jeremy's expressions are as diverse and endearing as they can get - that's talent! I love his reactions. The pianoforte scene is the best...

Kali: As the above seems to indicate, he's consciously aware of the dagginess factor. ;) I've never seen a daggy shot of Jeremy. Ever. He's immune. *pout* :-(

Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl...;)

Come on, people. I need droolmates! I can't do this alone! Er, well, I CAN do it alone, but...;)

Kali: Come on, people. I need droolmates! I can't do this alone! Er, well, I CAN do it alone, but...;) Yes dear, I know you can! ;-)

Hi all you Jeremy fans! May I comment briefly, but intensely on his FABULOUS voice? I caught a radio interview with him when he was in NYC and he was not only smart, he was FUNNY! He held his own with those ridiculous disc jockeys. He's such a babe. I actually prefer Mr. Knightly to Mr. Darcy -- he's so much more able to laugh at himself!!!!!

There you go, Kal.

He's not only smart, but funny: You're just beginning to realize this??? HE IS Mr Knightley!!!!!!!!!!Plus, he's handsome, charming, self-confident(but never pushy or aggressive), sexy, vulnerable, witty, talented.....Kali-can you help me out with some more adjectives? And yes The Voice: Once could go on and on. Such a vulnerable, Cambridge-bred lilt that makes me positively weak in the knees. I can close my eyes and still here his Marry, me my wonderful, darling friend or whom are you going to dance with? I must get those EMMA TAPES!!!!! And KAli-Jeremy wallpaper-what a tantalizing idea!!!!!! I have one picture of him on my wall, from the proposal scene in Emma, where he's caressing GP's face. Thanks for the pic too-another favorite. He looks so handsome(when doesn't he?)-such an aristocratic profile and great hair.

Cassandra -- you made me howl! I think I just ran into one heck of a Jeremy Northam fan. I concede to your enthusiasm. You're right -- HE IS MR. KNIGHTLY! And, the last I heard, (from his own lips no less) he was unattached. Is that still true?

is he unattached!? of course! only for the moment, until he meets ME! our eyes will meet and he will instinctively KNOW that we are meant for one another ( cassandra, kali: what a coincidence: i have BOTH the picture above and the proposal scene blown up and hanging on my wall! great minds think alike!) ahh.. what i wouldn't do to hear that voice. many a time i've dreamt of having his VOICE being the first thing I hear in the morning.....oh, and imagine, a valentine's day with jeremy!!!! oh my, quick! i need a reality check... cold shower please!

He sparkles, for Chrissake. More adjectives: impish, endearing, well-bred...

I think WInter's gone clinical on us...;) I colorprinted all the good Miramax JPEGS for my wall...

Oh, and this is a little something I came up with at Arnessa's and Cheryl's requests: They said that there was no room in their fantasies for the woman who had been butt-up next to him, so I "removed" her...

Another adjective: PERFECT!!!

And not only does he posess all of the above named perfections, but he is a newly converted baseball fan! What more can we ask, indeed, what more can we need?

Indeed, Mari...I can lure him in by taking him to Giants games! ;)

Hey-maybe he likes the BLue Jays! And Sweet Buckles-he is indeed unattached. He hasn't found me, I mean Emma yet!

kali: They said that there was no room in their fantasies for the woman who had been butt-up next to him, so I "removed" her... Thank you dearest! *samooch* But was there nothing you could do about that pesky sheet?? ;-)

But was there nothing you could do about that pesky sheet?? ;-) Cheryl, you never fail to make me laugh -- you're one of the best reasons for signing onto the Spring!

Come to Pemberley Susan! ;-)

No, Cass...I specifically remember him admiring one of the Giants' pitchers...(no, not in that way....)...;)

We watched The Net again tonite...needless to say, we were happy campers. ;) My friends who were Northam virgins, however, reamrked that they were a little afraid of him after the whole Jack thing...so I hooked them for an Emma date come April...I think that they will see the light yet...

JAck baby!!!!I think I know what I'm going to rent tonight. HAve you seen Carrington? Hmm-NOrtham virgins. Kali, I must again compliment you on your witty turn of phrase. And yes, I do think they will see the light come April. I took one of my friends to see Emma(never read the book, non-austen type who hasn't even seen P&P2) last summer and she cried and cried from the dance scene to the proposal scene. It was quite the bonding experience. To quote her: WHO IS HE? HE IS SUCH A BABE!AND HE LOVED HER SO!!! ANd not only that-the age difference between us and JN is about the same as that between Mr Knightley and Emma. I'm all astonishment. HE IS MR KNIGHTLEY!!!!!!

i rented "carrington" when i was a "northam-virgin" a few months back. to be honest, I hated it! In fact, I stopped the tape about 15 minutes into the film and didn't bother to see it again. Imagine my surprise when I found out Jeremy was in it! How much screen time has he got? because i'd be much more willing to give carrington a second chance knowing that HE's in it. otherwise, I'll just take your words for it and assume that he's brilliant (and why wouldn't he be?)in it.

Just fast forward right near the end...;)

SNORT.

Oh, Cass...re: crying through Emma...I never cry at movies, but the "With whom are you going to dance with?/With you if you will ask me!" really knocked the wind out of me...each time I saw the film. And, of course, the proposal scene...I was bawling uncontrollably. Unabashed and uncompromised sobs. Ooh Baby.

You too? I never cry either, its the Elinor in me. BUt, yes. YEs! The dance scene chokes me up-he can do more with a look, voice inflection than most men can do.......WEll, you get the point. And the proposal scene-the pained expression on his face-well, perhaps you are wise. SO vulnerable, so tortured-I rode through the rain and I would ride through a lot worse. HE is PERFECT! When I was complaining last night about this Mark Strong Guy and my Mother retorted, rather sarcastically, that come April I can watch/freeze frame JN as much as I please. She thinks I'm mad, yes madly, hopleslessly in love with MR KNightley. And Winter-regarding Carrington. It isn't a great movie. If you blink you miss him. Luckily I wasn't during a very interesting scene with ET, on a boat.

I got out my trusty thesaurus: HE's magnetic,charismatic, masterful, ebullient, effervescent, scintillating. He ooozes charm from every pore-he's DELIGHTFUL, HE'S DELICIOUS, HE'S DE-LOVELY.......... HIs name is like a golden bell hung around my heart and everytime I think of him, the bell sings and rings: JEREMY! JEREMY! JEREMY! I'm not really crazy, i just watched Cyrano last night.

and you all thought I was headed for the loony bin! ;-) This is a desperate situation ladies! We MUST get a Jeremy fix SOON or I'm afraid we shall all go mad! Not even one article, not one trailer for "Mimic". And I can't even find "Fatal Inversion" at the video store!!!!! oh well, i'm off to see Kenneth Branagh's 'Hamlet' this afternoon. maybe that'll distract me momentarily. But then again, I just may end up lamenting over the fact that Jeremy's not in it. Pining for Jeremy, winter

I'm sure it doesn't take much to distract you Winter.

Oh Cass darling, are you unwell? ;-)
