I was trying to think of something we could do for Tea to let her know
that not everybody on the net hates her and is unhappy about her
marriage to David. Since their first wedding anniversary is next
Wednesday, May 6, I thought perhaps we could throw another cyber party.
Because it its such short notice I wouldn't expect it to be as elaborate
as the VCAP party and because it is sort of OT, some people might not
want to participate.
If somebody could help design a web page we could capture the posts and
present them as sort of a Anniversary Card. I think I know how to
contact their agent and Tea's publicist, so we could send an invitation
and hope they show up at some point. According to what Tea said the
other day, she will be out of the country on their anniversary so they
will be celebrating it late anyway.
If people would like to participate, let me know. If someone could
volunteer to design a web page, let me know. I am clueless in that
area.
We could get together Wed. May, 6th about 10 p.m. Eastern time, 7 p.m.
Pacific and have a few drinks, post a few anniversary toasts, play some
strip Scrabble and Pin the Tail on the Troll.

First, I'd like to thank everyone who responded so positively to the
idea. I know this is The X-Files group and not a DD or TL fan group so
I propose we approach this as a party where X-Philes can send good
wishes to one of the stars of the show that brings us all so much
happiness on this milestone in his life. I want to stay away from all
of the discussions about whether TL & DD bring negative publicity on
themselves or whether they should develop thicker skins or whether TL
can act, you get the idea. That is not what this is about. It's an
anniversary party, not Crossfire.
I am actually doing this as much for myself as for them. I would not
expect them to show up in person, though I would hope that they might
hear about it and be pleased and amused. With someone's help I will set
up a web page with all of the posts in case they want to visit.
One of the myths about why people are Philes or go on the internet is
that we "need to get a life," as most of you know it is actually the
opposite. We have very stressful and busy lives and we watch the
X-Files and go on the net to take a break and to fortify ourselves for
the next onslaught. I am going through a particularly hard time right
now and this Cyber party is a way for me to have some fun and express my
gratitude to DD, who has brought me a lot of enjoyment over the years,
and to TL, because I am a fan of hers and because DD is clearly so much
happier since her met her.
I suspect that most of the attendees will be DD fans and/or TL fans.
However, you don't need to be a particular fan of DD or TL to attend.
Just join in by reading the posts or you can offer a toast as a fan of
the show.
For those of you who want to get more elaborate. Start thinking about
songs, poems, refreshments, anniversary gifts, games. You can reminisce
about your favorite/least favorite DD acting moments, hairstyles or
anything else that strikes your fancy.
My cat, Houdini, has volunteered to act as bouncer and to toss out and
torment any Party crashing Trolls. He has been sharpening his claws all
week.
The party will be Wed. May 6th, starting at 10 p.m. Eastern time and
will go until the Tequila and Milk Duds run out. I suggest we post
anything under DTAP so that those who prefer to skip the posts can do
so.
See you there.
~Debbie
