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.

It has been FIVE years, my friend! I really cannot even believe it. It feels like yesterday.

I cried during the I Love You. Won't even lie. Cried like a baby. I can't believe he said it. Man, it makes me want to watch it right now. It was just ... monumental.

Oh! I think that that was 407 or 408. One of those where Justin looks sad and looks down at the thrown DVDs in front of the loft door. Wow. Can't believe I remember that. That sounds like pure torture on your end though, lol.

I still think of you and popfly as this gapfiller superduo! It was all so, so good.

Hey, another DC++ member! Hello! I'm sure I either shared or swiped something from everyone there so, thank you! Haha. I miss seeing the color coded bar at the bottom of the screen that indicated if a file was being uploaded or downloaded. Good times. :))

The happy memories are certainly best and thankfully there are many!

No no, it was in S5. Um. Brian and Justin were broken up, and it was maybe around the time of the Cyndi Lauper concert? An ep or two before? And Brian and Justin meet each other on the street... OH! I think Justin has been at a anti-Prop (Whatever Number It Was) meeting. And they meet on the street and they're all awkward. And then You Are My Sunshine played over the end credits and I was all OMG SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY, SHOW? YOU ARE KILLING ME DEAD. And I look over and popfly was *grinning*.

Ohhh, gapfillerpalooza! Yeah, that's a fun memory. Some of my fics that came out of that are even good. LOL
