I'm devastated that you've gone Bonnie . Though I know it's been a long time coming. You will TRULY be missed.
Hopefully, you'll stop by the forum and say hi every once in a while. I agree with Mara, Nic should be thanking you personally for your devotion and loyalty over the years.
It`s not a long time that I know you and also joined this group and I have a long way to get through in this group but I`ll really miss you and your posts.You are really kind .Whenever I feel lonely I`ll look at stars and think about you as your avatar.Even though we feel a empty part without you I want to make you sure that we`ll make this group stronger and I myself promise to keep loving Nick.Any way I send you e-mails whenever I can.And . Have a good life .And I hope your dreams come true too. With best wishes for you Shakila(Blue angel)

So here we stand in our secret place And the sound of the crowd is so faraway You take my hand, and it feels like home We both understand, it's where we belong So how do I say, do I say goodbye We both have our dreams We both wanna fly So let's take tonight to carry us through The longly times
I'll always look back As time walk away This memory will last for eternity And all of our tears will be lost in the rain When I find my way to your arms again But until that day you know you are The queen of my heart
You are the Queen of the Nicsters, I'd say... you've devoted yourself to bringing so many goodies for us to enjoy, whether they are Nic-related or just your personal thoughts sharing. Thanks for the time you have spent with us here together... every minute, every moment, and every memory, as the lyrics say, will last for eternity; and hope one day you'll find your way back here. :)
Best wishes and hugs, Eirian

I only wanted to add another thanks to you, Bonnie... you`ve been extremely busy posting all kinds of goodies these last few days... What a great farewell present, to look for all that info for us to enjoy... You´re gonna be sorely missed, dear moderator!

My good friend... it´s with a bittersweet feeling that this site bids you farewell. You´ve given so much to this, and other Nic Cage forums throughout the years, that I don´t know where to begin thanking you. Heck, Nic himself should thank you accordingly, since your efforts to promote him came truly from your big heart. You´re a beautiful person, and your posts are beautiful too. We´re gonna miss them terribly, and the Nic forums will never be the same without you... Thanks for your poems, your witty remarks, your playfulness, your wacky sense of humor, your insight, and above all for your caring interest for each and everyone of us... Luckily we know you´ll be always there for us (and, incidentally, for Nic, LOL!)
But on the other hand... well, just listen to what Charlie Kaufman has to say:
(In case the wav doesn´t work, here you go. Nicolas Cage as Charlie Kaufman: "There's a journey of evolution adaptation... the journey we all take... the journey that unites each and every one of us.")
It makes me happy that you´re moving on to whatever comes next that life has to offer... you´re very wise, you know that?? Wishing you the very best in this new stage of adaptation.
Much love, complete with the customary kit of Spanish hugs and kisses, but this time TIGHTER THAN EVER!
It's been a busy coppola weeks here on the Cagefactor forum, what with all the news and pics from all the film festivals Nic has attended and where his movie BAD LIEUTENANT/Port of New Orleans has been recongnized as a reckoning force in the movie world. Me thinks our Nic is finally going to be given the pat on the back he so much deserves from the film community. At least, I hope so.
Anyway...........it seems to me that now is the perfect time for me to leave this place of Nic fandom where after the past couple of weeks I've tried to report on all the Nic goodies I could find, like a good moderator should do! LOL! I feel like I'm leavng 'on top' if ya's know what I mean. :)
I've enjoyed the time spent here in the Nic world and truthfully, for me, this place became more a place of socializing with friends from all over the world and not so much about Nic. I've made some wonderful lifelong friends from hanging around this place (you know who you are) and they have held me up when I've often felt like crumbling. I thank each of you from my heart.
My life has also been touched by so many others here on the forum......in ways that most of you would never have guessed and well.............I will miss each and every one of you. I sincerely thank you all and wish for all of you all the best. May all of your dreams, big and small, come true. And hey............keep on loving Nic. :)
Oh........coppola more things.............I want to wish both Caz and Eirian the best of luck as they take over moderator duties. The two of you will bring new, young, energy to this place. Remember! Do as much or as little as your heart calls you to do and most importantly, have fun here!
I leave now with this poem I wrote many years ago when I left "THE ORIGINAL NICOLAS CAGE APPRECIATION SOCIETY....aka TONCAS. It seemed to fit my leaving here as well. One last thing..........if any of you need to get in touch with me, both Caz and Eirian have my private email address and they can give it to you if needed.
GOODBYE by Bonnie E. Nelson
Farewell and Godspeed Adios and Adieu See ya later, alligators So long to you!
Ta Ta and Sayonara Auf Wiedersehen Aloha and Au Revoir Till we meet again!
Arrivederci, Ciao Hast La Vista and Toodley-Ooh But most of all I leave you with this my friends.... May GOD always be with you!
Love, Bonnie aka OOm, PitaB, Warped Woman, Ben.... and many other monikers used thru-out the years......
