*staggers on to thread*
WARNING! LONG ASSED POST FOLLOWS! Heya guise. *waves tiredly* I'mma missing in action right now cos I'm dealing with the MOTHA of all countdowns to Queenbert (just 15 more sleeps to go) *bounce, bounce* #butfreakingoutrightnow
I'm barely keeping up with anything in the fandom right now, mostly through sporadic visits to twitter and that's it!
But I have to, so very, very belatedly
, thank each and every one of you who sent me birthday wishes. I have eventually caught up with those threads and my heart was so full from reading all your beautiful messages to me. So from the bottom of my heart Adamtopia...
and a big fat....
to each and every one of you with love. Your wishes meant the world to me
I'ts also a very reflective time for me right now - as in reviewing my last 3 birthdays.
This time 2 years ago in 2010, I was just five days out from leaving for New York to meet up with the awesome and special ladies that I had come to know from the NY Michael board, and then subsequently the S.S Glambert board. The excitement between us was beyond intense and the dream came true for all of us culminating in seeing Adam at the Nokia on the 22/23rd of June and then a few days later Atlantic City and Washington DC. The journey for me was sooooooooo.... far out of my comfort zone at the time and it terrified me. But I have sat back over those two years and realised that loving and believing in Adam, quite simply, changed my life and made me do things I wasn't sure I was capable of. I will be forever grateful for that impetus and the wonderful, thrilling, memorable adventure that it was (blows kisses to Nica in particular for everything
)
Just 3 months later, I found myself on another journey. This time more local. Well kinda sorta (Australia is just across the ditch from NZ
). When I went to the US, there was absolutely no indication that Adam would tour downunder, so I felt that if I wanted to see him then I would have to go to him.
I had not been back home long when the first rumblings surfaced about international concerts. Hmmm.... that became adventure number TWO. Two countries and four cities with flights to each: Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane concerts in a six day period, plus the bonus of getting to know all the fabulous Kiwi and OZ fans as well!!! Another EPIC!
Now - this time last birthday (2011) was oh so very different. One year ago I had just had surgery for a partial masectomy and was days out from starting radiation therapy. BIG DIFFERENCE...lol
Which brings me to now - this birthday. OMFG! What a different scenario
And once again, Mr Adam Fucking Lambert is about to accidentalise my life beyond, beyond. In fifteen days I will travel to the other side of the world, albeit in the opposite direction this time and encompassing far greater distances, to see AFL and the EPIC that will be Queenbert. A part of me wishes that I had kids and grandkids so they could appreciate just how BSC their mother/grandmother really is...lol Sadly, my fluffies just don't ~get it.
If I thought getting to New York was hard (and it was), imagine what I'm like right now. The trip involves 5 countries, 6 major cities & layovers in 4 others. I haven't added up the miles or flying hours yet, but it's gonna take
vecadam and I 26 hours just to get to Moscow.
And you know what? It's going to be worth it!!!! To see Adam live again (after 8 GNT's) along with friggin Queen guys, is the stuff dreams are made of - and I'm full tilt pursing mine ;D
I feel so blessed that I am in a position to do these things. Four years ago I wouldn't have been able to. Thank you universe for bringing Adam in to my life and giving me the courage to do things that I would never have believed I could do.
PS:
Nica OMFG! woman - you changed your avi?!?!
I didn't recognise you. I remember so clearly the day you took for your own the last one and it's ALWAYS been you!

ing bb
Ok dudes and dudettes - I'mma going to disappear again and hope I can post again before leaving. My lists are getting longer - not shorter right now and my brain is fried with information overload.
PS: I know I have some PM's to answer and need to post on our Queenbert threads, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. It's now 11.35pm and Catz needs her beauty sleep at the mo :
;D
Love and light all...

Psssstt... mods - hoping this all ain't too personal.
