If my computer/Blogger would cooperate,

Posted by: Liz | From: November 21, 2003

If my computer/Blogger would cooperate, I would have left a message on Ahe's blog re: death of Jonathan Brandis and it would have been something like:

Oh my god! My friend Heather and I watched the first half of the movie, "IT" over and over again because we were so in love with him. Actually, now that I think about it, Heather may have been more in love with the guy who played Stan, but nevertheless he played a huge part of my girlhood. My friend Allison Gleichman and I were very much in love with him and wrote him a letter around the time he was to appear in "Ladybugs." Our friend Yasmeen appeared in that movie for about, oh I don't know, 5 seconds, so we were practically best friends with Jon. A few weeks later, we received a nice letter back from his fan club president, which included 2 autographed black and white photos of the boy. Allison got one, I got the other. Over the years, I've almost thrown that picture away half a dozen times, but I believe it is still tucked away with all the notes I ever wrote/received in middle school.

So sad.

I guess that would have been a really long comment post.
