i can't sleep. queer as folk 2000-2005.

I can't believe it's been five years! It's hitting my nostalgic button pretty hard, you guys. Five years ago today (except it was August 7th) was the very last episode of Queer as Folk. I just moved in to my new apartment and made sure that I had cable so I could watch it and the Goodbye Special. My friend scifi_addict was a witness to the insanity that was my state of mind.

I don't know what I would've done without this show. I really don't. It's seven years later and I'm still using this journal, making new friends, getting into new fandoms, but I'll always come back to Queer as Folk.

How about we all share one memory from the show that's made us happy? It could be a quote, a picture, a moment in the show, a memory that you share with a friend while watching the show, memories of the signings, the Paley Festival, the Babylon Tours, etc.

I remember being on the phone with my best friend and we used to talk for hours and hours. Pretty much every day we'd recite a line to each other and it would crack us up. I remember one day in particular where ... I think the new clips came out on sandstorm's website. Remember the former website? It was plain, black background and it just had the clips on it. Anyway, we started saying Brian and Justin's lines from 406 when they were at Babylon together and making the bet. I don't know why this one sticks out for me but I remember laughing really hard while doing that.

... one more. The DC++ gang. I don't think I have anyone remaining from there on my flist. Do I? That was fun. I got into Latter Days that way and the Bel Ami boys (ha). A lot of people had some really great things to share.

My friends laugh at me to the day because I refuse to watch S5 at all. Never have I been so angry (and over a TV show for Pete's sake).

I love to see QAF people in other fandoms (quite a few have showed up in "White Collar") and it is always like seeing a long lost friend.

We don't laugh at you! We understand your anger - and it was definitely more than a TV show. It was our lives for 5 years.

I have a real problem recognizing people from QAF. I watch "White Collar" every week but couldn't tell you one persom from QAF on it. I even watched a show (not sure what it was) with Michelle Clunie and didn't recognize her.

I will mention one scene that I can never forget - but it's sad so I wasn't going to mention it.

I think the saddest scene in the entire series was when Justin asked about the Prom and Brian said, "Yeah, you should have been there!" So sad!

"Yeah, you should have been there!"

Never fails to absolutely kill me.

Oh, I didn't mean that anyone from QAF (yet) is on "White Collar", I meant that people who used to watch QAF are showing up on "White Collar" forums. Now, Scott would make an excellent character on WC!

Got it! I'll have to check out the forums. I love that show.

I also love to see QaF people in other fandoms! It's like you always have this one thing in common with them.
