Too bad I've had so many near miss meetings with Nic but never actually met him face to face. Then again............sometimes people who are too similar are like oil and water when they do meet...........they can rub each other the wrong way or make a person face the parts of themselves they aren't terribly fond of......which can be terribly uncomfortable.
I don't hold out any hope of meeting Nic anymore but I am always, always, ALWAYS so happy to hear of other fans who have!
If you do get to meet him Eirian.............remember to tell us all about the man, just as our dear Marta has shared with us, OK?

Aww.....that really is sweet of you to say............I guess....maybe Nic and I might be similar in ways....... I never even considered that that may be the reason I'm drawn to the guy......LOL!

OMG! You think I'm like Nic? LOL! I'm rolling over here in laughter.....
Gawd............I hope he's not reading this stuff cuz if he did he'd probably roll his eyes and run like hell after being compared to me and my lunatic verbosity. Poor man...................Even I'd feel sorry for him if he were as weird as me!
:)
Don't worry Bon, cuz the man himself is also moonstruck & wild at heart! LOL!!

BTW......I've only met one Texan by the name of Billy. He was a character, let me tell you. I once invited a dozen neighbors over for a formal dinner party and he kept us in tears of laughter......especially when......all of a sudden in the middle of a sentence, he fell dead asleep. No joke! He was sitting to my left and I had to quickly prop him up until his wife ran over and made him comfortable. About 15 minutes later, he awoke and continued to entertain us like nothing ever had happened!

oh my little chicago hillbilly! when i travel i get so much grief about being a texan. i have actually had a new yorker ask me where i park my horse! i've never even been on a horse. urbanite to the core. you, my dear lady, are very much like nic i think. contradictory and full of surprizes! i have to meet you. when i get my dates set for next year we definately have to get together, eat, drink, and be merry!
Um.........people who spent summers visiting their sisters in the 'hollers' of West Virginia, perhaps? Like me? LOL!
Gawd.....I can remember trying to figure out what...."hey Bonner, ya'll wanna take a gander up in dem dar hills and visit wit da old folks in the holler?" meant!
Geez....no joke.....Dem Dar old folks still had an outhouse in their back yard.....
Ah....the memories of childhood!
Oh....and as to um....layering........I think when you peel off enough layers of a person, you find their soul....

you crack me up!!! who says "shucks" anymore? next your gonna break out with a y'all. ha-ha-ha. besides, i love layers. it is so much fun revealing the next one until you get to the core where things are really interesting.
Why shucks PieGirl........I will most definitely take that as a compliment!
BTW....I'm a well rounded person.....both literally and figuratively.............that explains the layering......

i am finding such lovely layers in you. it is worth both the laughter and the crying for the one who got away. or the one that got caught? either way, am pleased to know someone recognized it
I know that song very well Piegirl................
A wonderful man I know once sent it to me. Periodically I put it in the reciever and have both a smile and a good cry while listening to it.

And now ladies and gentlemen, after having called you all idiots in your faces, I´ve decided it´s the right time for me to retreat to bed before I say something else of the sort... My pleasure! Carry on with the fun!
You sure it's not all this blinding idiocy we're got going on here tonight that hasn't made you hit the wrong key or something?

I´m reallhy sorry... I wanted to quote Bonnie´s post and writhe "ROTFWL" but I managed to get the acronym all over HER POST. Am I clumsy, or what? (That must mean I must get more sleeping hours...)
Only wanted to point out that she never wrote ROTFWL, I did....

OH all right Mara! Send over the guys in the white coats and I'll sign on the dotted line............Laurel and Hardy here I come!

See? Those Swiss clinics are just the very best! I knew that was the definite cure! Should we patent the treatment? We could name it "Let Laurel & Hardy cure your Nic addiction, and embrace a lifetime of Nic-free dullness and silent movies"

Sometimes I think this Nic addiction is the scourge of my life..........
BTW.......Stan and Laurel Hardy? OMG..........I'd rather quit Nic cold turkey than have to be subjected to those two!

sorry to be really boring and disappointing but i just meant see him again as in watch a film. it's one of my life's little pleasures - but it's a routine i have gotten into - watching at least 1 of his movies every day and sometimes 2 or 3 if i have the time....
Hey Dr Jenn, is there any rehab clinic for Nicacholics in Switzerland or something?
You know, where we could all check into and where beds would come complete with a portable DVD and a collection of Nic´s most hunky movies for us to dwell in sin... only to be taken out of bliss by reducing the Nicfix gradually on a 12 step programm... until we hated our beds so much that we preferred sleeping sitting upright on the armchair... and now that I think of it we would get addicted to chocolate bars as a compensation of sorts for Nicfix shortage, and to cope with the withdrawal symptoms maybe we would be forced to seeing the complete works of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy... OH NOOO TAKE ME OUTTA THERE!!!!
We´re addicted to Nic and that´s it. Period. We´re doomed, but will live happily ever after...
Did I miss something here? Do spill...........Enquiring minds wanna know!
