- Hello to you all,
-
- I'll admit to this being my first posting to this newslist - although I
- have been subscribed to it basically from the start, so the regulars are
- like friends to me (Hello Gavin, Joe, Mike & John!).
-
- Last night Davie popped round to collect his belated birthday presents and
- admitted that he hadn't been eating proper meals since he moved back to the
- farm... so start dropping hints folks... tell Davie to eat and look after
- himself! He puts in a lot of effort on behalf of us all keeping the BT site
- maintained, and I thank him for it... but...
-
- Nice to see the debate running - and the opening scenes of Davie's sequel
- idea look excellent... keep up the good work Davie.

- I was also thinking about music. My pereference would be a soundtrack by

- asked "Are you gay?" I said no, but of course the light came on inside me
- and I was like yeah, so? Didn't really bother me at the time, and it
- still doesn't today. I sort of started coming out to other people at 13,

-
- I read last year in the early Fall in Details Magazine about BT. I have had
- to see it ever since I read it. Then the other day when I was in "Moovies"
- I saw it, recognized it, and about flamed myself out of the store.
- Anyways... back to the point... when I read the article it said that Jamie
- and Ste were both straight and chosen for that reason. There were several
- other actors that tried out but Jamie and Ste were NOT gay and that's a big
- reason THEY were choosen. Who better to choose for a love story were both
- boys come out of the closet? They were interviewed said something like,
- "When the kissing scenes came, we just kissed. We didn't rehearse it...
- just to keep the meaning" My question is like everyone elses... they are
- either gay or damn good actors... and need to make a sequal or go on a road
- tour (especially in the states)!
- Cheers to everyone!

- I think my favorite lines in BT are at the party when Ste and Jamie are
- outside (blah, blah, blah)
- Ste:"So are you...?"
-
- Jamie:"Queer?"
-
- Ste:"Gay?"
-
- Jamie:"I'm very happy. I'm happy when I'm with you."
-
- God, isn't that all ANYONE is looking for...someone to be happy with -
- to share ourselves with - to talk to - to BE with...
-
- I know I try to enjoy myself with my friends as much as possible when we
- hang out...but when the nite is over, I go back to my life and they go
- back to theirs and the "emptiness" inside just goes on and on...
-
- But when you are with someone who makes you happy, even when you're away
- from him (or her), nothing can intrude on the happiness inside - you
- don't feel lonely anymore!!!
-
- To me, that's why BT is so dear to my heart. It speaks of the human
- condition (wow, that was profound...) :) - the need/want/desire to be
- loved and the need/want/desire/ability to return that love!!!
