Ree Reference Guide aka Birthday Post Part III aka love you like Daphne loves Justin's antics! ♥

[musicandme]

May I also add to the above "... loves Justin!" It just wouldn't fit with my theme. :|

Again, there are a million things I totally love about Ree and if you don't love her for her creations, her graphics, her doodles, then there's more. Yes, there's more. Ree's never lost her love for fandom or fandom squee particularly concerning Queer as Folk, Gale Howard Harold, and Queer as Folk's Randy Harrison. She's an equal squee opportunist when it comes to the above. Let's take a little trip down memory lane, shall we?



• On July 20, 2005 were her reactions to the HEARTBREAKING episode, 507.

• Then there was the epic reaction to episode 510 that literally makes me misty when I read it. I don't know! I'm influenced by other people's emotions and she had some good ones on July 24, 2005.

• Some more 510 observations on July 25, 2005.

• She pretty much said what I wanted to say about 511 in this sentence: Now, I have to say: I don't see this proposal as Brian magically believing in marriage per se, but rather believing in Justin. Hell to the yes. Read the whole thing here, observations about 511.

• On August 3, 2005 we needed a big group hug. We needed the hug of all hugs. The series was ending and people were going to go their separate ways but we'd never forget the memories.

• We're getting closer to the end with the episode 512 recap on August 30, 2005.

• There are moments of just drop down, fall on my face laughing, hilariousness. There was a moment just like that on January 20, 2006. Let's just say that it involves squirrels. Okay? Squirrels, I say again.

• Ree's known for something that's called pastede on hedz. What's that you ask? I think you really have to see it to believe it.

PASTEDE ON HEDZ

February 21, 2006: Bobsleds!
February 22, 2006: Freestyle skiing!
February 23, 2006: Luge!

• Remember when Randy did that event at his school? If you don't then that's fine because there are photos posted on February 27, 2006. I title that entry, "Randypants loves theatre." Also, looking back on those photos now, I find it ridiculously adorable that he has giant sized sweaters that he wears. I mean look, he has a whole Jennifer Love Hewitt from Party of Five thing going on there.

• Ree also takes one for the team! I don't even know when fandom discovered that Kim was Gale's girlfriend but we knew and she had just recently moved to Los Angeles to live with Gale pursue her music career. There's an entry posted on April 12, 2006 about her music if you feel like brushing up on your Kim knowledge. And Ree also went to go see her play in a tiny, tiny room on April 17, 2006.

• Happy Gale Pot Day on April 20, 2006! Yeah, remember when we basked in the funny about this? Me too. This isn't really a pastede on hedz. It's more of a pastede on hedz lollipop.

• Seriously, whoever spotted Gale on an Australian travel show about a hotel in Venice gets two thumbs up from me. Caps on May 9, 2006.

• This is a total sidenote but who won Peter's camera? Remember a while ago (years) they auctioned off celebrity disposable cameras. Peter Paige's was sold. Anyone in fandom get it? I know who got John Cameron Mitchell's. I'm looking at you, my friend. :)

• Here's a detailed photographic review of the Season Five package. On the same day was a sad, sad thought. I think that there were a lot of newbies that year.

• Ree got her hands on the screener for Vanished (OMG) and it came with highly detailed, highly hilarious Reecaps of what went down ... Agent Kelton style! You can find them here, here, and here.

• August 21, 2006 was the premiere of Vanished with Vanished icons!

• Remember back when Randy had a rather chatty boyfriend who dropped notes about him in his articles? That was great. He even told us what they ate for breakfast. Yep, he was just that detailed. But the point of it is to say - stop stalking my boyfriend!

• Gale was in a play! Yay! Okay, so what if he wasn't that great in it? Gale's in a play! Fangirls unite! The play was Suddenly Last Summer.

• Vanished, Reecap, posted on October 3, 2006!

• Pastede on hedz of Randy as "Lord of the Dance" on December 16, 2006!

• Let's reflect on how Gale Harold looked as a wee one. Shall we?

• Thoughts on fic on March 3, 2007 in which we have the same thoughts. This is why we're braintwins. Also, if you know what this fic is, drop a line, would you?

• The most epicly epic cancer fic rec lists of all universal time came into existence on March 16, 2007. Unfortunately, some stories don't exist anymore, author deleted their journal, so feel free to contribute fics with dead links! Much appreciated.

• Gale = bowling god. Scott Lowell said so. Need the photographs to prove it (even though we do have episode 19 of Qaf)? Look no further! Just go here.

• Somewhere in May of 2007 there was baby's first bad!fic doodle. :( Unfortunately, the picture is dead so I will not be linking to the dead picture. Just for reference's sake, it was somewhere in this month and year.

• Once again, she took one for the team to see Falling for Gale Grace. There was no Gale sighting to be had but Gale on the big screen! Eeee. You can read all about the Reeventures here.

• What did Gale and Randy do for Gale's birthday in 2007? They had a pastede on hedz adventure complete with karaoke!

• Here is one of the bad!fic doodles that lived. It's a moldy!Justin. :|

• On August 8, 2007, she finally saw the finale episode of Queer as Folk. It was a tough one. I know, I know.

• You didn't know that Randy was in a super sekrit play, did you? Well, it was a one-time only performance on August 20, 2007. The title? Suddenly Last Randy. Oh, it was so brilliant and total genius.

• I thought that I was the only one who felt the love for Simon Dumenco. Fortunately, I found out on October 10, 2007 that I was wrong. Not only did someone love him but she compiled an entire list of Dumenco for me to be all *grabby hands* about.

• Remember when Gale was a Nazi? Well, here are some screencaps to jog your memory. It took place somewhere on ABC. Big show or something. They're all doctors or some junk.

• There was wank on December 4, 2007 and it came with screencaps! I think at this point we were so wank deprived that we all *pounced*. It was an interesting weekend, for sure. I mean, almost three years later and there we all are still arguing. I say "we" but ... I wasn't there. :|

• bad!fic doodle on January 21, 2008 that matches the icons I posted before on the same date. Justin hates Hobbes. :(

• When newness pops up, leave it to Ree to let fandom know! And then she provides in-depth analysis so that we know exactly what's different about the German Qaf magazine covers. *nod*

• juteux and Ree had this idea about fanon!Justin which is totally spot on. Ree provided pictahs on April 14, 2008 to tell us about fanon!Justin.

• She never fails to tell us about a spotting! This Gale was spotted at Osh on April 19, 2008.

• WE ALL FOUND OUT THAT GALE WAS GOING TO BE ON TEEVEE AND PROMPTLY WENT TO REE'S JOURNAL TO REJOICE!

• Of course with Gale on teevee comes Reecaps! This one posted on May 19, 2008

• A long time ago, on June 4, 2008, I believe, Ree and I were reminiscing over the Aztek commercials. Watch out for Greenland!

• To think that people weren't exposed to Randy's interview with 93.1 is such a heartbreaking thought. Luckily, Ree is always there to bring it all rushing back/available to hear for the first time.

• It was just that time again! Time for Gale's bday celebration complete with mix! July 10, 2008

• Again, where the hell is this fic?!

• Gale was like doing stuff during his Desperate Housewives stint. So, here's an interview round up! I am also surprised that there was no "you know" uttered in there.

• bad!fic doodle. This one is the donut glaze one. Does not stop being hilarious.

• It's that time of the year again! karaoke with Randolph Harrison! Oh, joy. That's when we all know that it's properly theater season. Posted karaoke goodness on August 1, 2008.

• The apocalypse arrived on August 7, 2008. That's right. Randy was going to do a Queer as Folk event. *something drops from the sky* Yep. I think the sky's falling.

• HAI GALE HAROLD ON DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. PICTURES? YES PLEASE.

• pirate!doodles on September 3, 2008. This comes with pirate!doodle icons right here.

• And Desperate Housewives promos hath begun on September 6, 2008!

• Now promos and high resolution pictures on September 12, 2008!

• Then Gale got injured around October 15, 2008 :| effectively ending his stint on Desperate Housewives for a few episodes lot of episodes.

• She often provided Gale updates complete with quotes from the Desperate Housewives crew/cast. That can be found (1) here, (2) here, (3) here, (4) here, (5) here, (6) here, and (7) here.

• Remember that event where we said that pigs must be flying, hell must be frozen over, and animals can speak? Well, it actually happened. It is now called "Randycon" and I will know it by no other name. We have a whole bunch of updates from that event here (IN WHICH WE ENLISTED PEOPLE TO REPORT TO DUTY), here (in which there should've been a DVD made already :|), here (in which there was a doodle of Randy but no actual Randy photos), and FINALLY a Randycon photo emerged! You can find more Randycon photos here and here.

• It was Gale and Randy day on November 2, 2008. You didn't know that? Go check it out.

• THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF BADPHOTOSHOP. MMKAY?

• Another wonderful Gale update on November 21, 2008. Yay!

• It's Turkey Time again on November 27, 2008. Doodle time! It's like Hammer Time but funnier. Well, Hammer Time was still pretty funny.

• On December 3, 2008 there is both a Gale interview (snowman, anyone?) and a Gale update with quotes from good buddy Scott Lowell!

• Oh, did you want snowman!Gale icons? They're here too..

• Yet another Gale sighting on December 17, 2008!

• Guess what? Gale's not coming back to Desperate Housewives ... or is he? No. No, he's not.

• There was a German, Desperate Housewives promo of all Gale goodness on January 5, 2009!

• We both need to get to work on this nostalgia thing that we promised ages and ages ago. At least Ree got her start this year with fic nostalgia on January 7, 2009. She also pimped me out on the same day. Teehee.

• There was also a nostalgia Qaf video post on January 10, 2009.

• I'm totally an award show junkie. I love any and all awards show and will sit through all those long hours just because. Good thing Ree loves her awards too because her comments come with pictures. Observe the Golden Globes Reecap on January 13, 2009.

• There's also Presidential Picspam for Inauguration Day!

• Here's the Valentine's Day mix for 2009!

• On February 18, 2009 came Gale Caps from the German Promo of awesome!

• She revealed the great Randy/Simon break up on March 9, 2009.

• More nostalgia on March 20, 2009. Did you guys ever play the Qaf drinking game? Well, here's your chance!

• YAY! RANDY AT JOE'S PUB PHOTOS! GALE LIVES! HE CAME OUT OF HIBERNATION, LOOKED HEALTHY AND WELL!

• Remember the Aretha hat on Inauguration Day? Well, here are doodles featuring two of your favorite actors on March 31, 2009!

• Here's an update about Gale and his many interviews on April 16, 2009.

• Guess what Justin poops? Find out here!

• REMEMBER BLIND!FIC AND HOW IT MADE YOU FEEL? LET'S ALL GO REMINISCE NOW. OKAY? OKAY.

• Here is Gale's final appearance on Desperate Housewives! It was epic! It was memorable! ... just kidding. It was neither one of those. Reecap on May 18, 2009.

• GALE LOVES BEETS.

• Not only is tomorrow (today) Ree's birthday but on June 14, 2009 it was her Reeversary! Five years bb. You are the glue that holds fandom together. You are.

• GALE IS OUT AND HE GOT A HAIRCUT!

• I don't know how she does it but she even managed to find a never-before-heard Randy clip from The Singing Forest so that we could all hear it and squee together.

• I am biased because it was a bad!fic entry of mine but Justin's taught stomach will never stop being completely hilarious.

• RANDY WAS A PIMP. By far one of the best performances to date. Look at the hair! The shorts! The lifting up of the Randypants! Gold star, Randy. Gold star.

• Another year, another age, but for Gale Harold it was the big 4-0! Brian Kinney would've killed himself by now. :| Thankfully, Gale does not equal Brian. Here is this year's fanmix!

• And proving that she's an awesome friend, I got pimped out once again.

I've developed a new language of Ree.

Reecap: Ree's recaps on ... anything!
Reecon: Ree's icons made by Ree for me or icons that I just find to be so particularly Ree.
Reeism: Something says off-hand in a comment that is totally BRILLIANT. Brilliant defined as hilarious, hysterical, SOTRUEOMG, so true and you didn't realize it was true, totally agree.
Ree Reference Guide: This right here. Your reference guide to all things Ree (graphics, icons, doodles, pastede on hedz, etc)
Reeventures: Adventures in which Ree goes to an event that's Qaf alum related!

Edited to add: ... how amazing and kind that I think she is because she answers all of her comments. I mean, years and years past, you drop a line and when she gets back she'll answer. I mean, that's just dedication and replying to comments just shows that you've read what that person has said and you're acknowledging it. That's why we're in this large LJ landscape, is it not? So, for her to go through and answer her comments? I really admire that about her. ♥

And that's about it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REEFACE!
I ♥ YOU LOTS!
YOURS, AFACE
