A good night
I have to journal this before the feeling goes away. I'm feeling so good/content/happy right now. I'm not totally sure why, but I'm afraid it's going to go away so I had journal about it quick. I have a few minutes before I start work. First off, I slept almost all day. When I got up I had coffee (always a good thing) and called my friend Crystal who was going to be in town for a bowling tourny. She and I were gonna get together to just chat or what not as long as she was in town. We decided to come back to my house as she had not seen my pics from California yet and also had not seen Billy on Sharon or Lij on Leno. So, we did all those things I just mentioned. For those who don't know, Crystal was instrumental to me in getting the scrapbook done. I couldn't have done it without her and her personallity is one that is just infectious. She is always so happy and fun to be around. I just love her. Anyway, we looked at my pictures while I told her about the weekend and then we watched the Sharon show (that I had already seen) and the Leno show (that I hadn't) The Leno show was really good!! He really spent alot of time talking to Lij and here is one of the things I think that is contributing to my good mood right now. If any of you have seen it, then you've seen the thing with the girl in the audience. You know how Lij almost went out into the audience and the camera focused on her alot. That girl, whoever she has to still be on cloud nine right now. I wish I knew who she was, I mean, I wish it had been a ringer I knew sitting there like that. Can you imagine if that was our dear True? or Lizmybit? LOL!!! Here's the really neat thing though....a year ago, heck, 6 months ago...if I'd seen that, I would have been feeling somewhat jealous. Feeling like I really wish I could have been there in that audience. That I could have been that girl to get all that attention. But today I feel a total peace about it. I'm not jealous at all. Oh I know that if that had been me, I would have loved it, but I'm not jealous that it wasn't. I can truly enjoy that girls excitment and leave it right there. This is a milestone for me. I think the events of the Oscar weekend have begun for me a new phase of my fandom. It is no longer important that I get to meet all these actors (though I wouldn't say no to an opportunity) What I find in me more these days is an overwhelmign desire to meet and be with more ringers. I miss all the people from Toronto, from LA and those that I have not been able to meet yet. Someone a while ago mentioned (in jest) a LOTR Commune. Where we could all live and work together in Lotr geeky bliss. I'm beginning to think that would be a good idea. LOL!!I'm always so happy just after I've been with ringers. Ok, well, time to go to work now. Love you all!!!!

i guess one thing about a journal, is that you post what is really on your mind and in your heart (at least i do) I can honestly say that i never knew this about you (about meeting all the actors being that important to you) I thought for some strange reason, that i was the only one that felt that way (how conceited is that)I felt the same way this weekend too though, after i met some ringers. I have not had an opportunity to meet any before, and was pleasantly surprised to find that most of them are NOT fanatical about lotr in real life (that was my HUGE concern prior to). It was refreshing to meet so many of so many differing walks of life, and fan status. It was simply icing on the cake to have the blessing of the crew show up at the party. Glad that you feel the same way and are at peace about it all. (but i'd still like to have a chance to go see viggo's art or listen to him do a poetry reading - and i dont think that is lotr related, so it doesnt count heheh)
It's not really that I had a burning desire to meet them all, but I would have a sick little lump in my stomach sometimes while reading about others' experiences and now I don't. I'm sure some of that is due in part to the fact that I have had some wonderful "fanish" sorts of opportunities and that is enough. It could also be though, that of the last two big events I've gone to, Toronto and LA, I've had "little" in the way of "star" experience and much in the way of "ringer" experience and you know what? I think I like ringers better than most of the stars. That's not to say that the stars aren't wonderful, because I think some of them truly are, but the love I feel for my fellow ringers far outstrips the feelings I have for any of the stars.
