dang chief I know there is a list somewhere.

Imiss my pathetic thread, I am here to declare I am pathetic, but time to take daughter to the dentist, then going to store so BBL. My fellow Pathetics!

sorry I won't let you die....Noooooooo I am the president so I can't let it happen. I think I need more coffee.

Hi,

Well I actually have to laugh at myself, about this subject.

If I'm surfing through the channels and see CI, if I seen the same episode just the night before, you know I have to still watch it.Marathons seen them every time, but still have to watch.

You know that you have trully become obsessive over CI, when you know what hes going to do (facial expressions and all) but hey if this is the worst habit us VD fans have, then there no problem.


So glad I'm not the only one here.

Pathetic = being upset that a tv program is being held back from the new season starting.
Pathetic = having more friends on this board than in RL
Pathetic = getting totally bummed when you are locked out of said Forum
Pathetic = the sad fact of being excited just because you are once again allowed to post on said board

I really need some VDO-alone time!

Can totally relate!

WORD!

I actually think we have mellowed. Or I think I have.

It's 4:04 in the morning here and I have had a long, busy day. However, I couldn't go to bed without my Bobby fix so I just finished watching "Acts of Contrition" for the umpteenth time. Love that fire scene!!! Now, I'm here on the forum. Pathetic is putting it mildly.

My daughter, who is 20 and an English major in college, constantly says I'm pathetic. Ah well. I can certainly think of worse things to be, and worse men to love than VDO. I've gotten her to watch The Break-Up (Oh, Mom...he was so awkward it was painful to watch!) and Happy Accidents (He was really cute in an odd kind of way). But she loves to watch CI with me, and Bobby has grown on her. (Mother, you've contaminated me!) I even have her admitting now that he really is "kind of cute." It's progress...

Good work InfinityStar-Keep it up.

I do the best I can, HB Katie is already a hopeless Bobby lover. Like mother, like daughter.

The women in your family have great taste in men.
I told my husband that I love Goren because he reminds me so much of him.
(worked like a charm)

Yep. Hook, line and sinker. We have a clear understanding. He's my one and only unless VDO shows up on our doorstep. Then all bets are off. At least I'm honest...

I have been trying to convert my sister-in-law into a full fledged Bobby fan. I have shown her some photos and she does think he's hot (SLURP!!! is actually what she said) but for some reason she has never watched LOCI. Months ago I loaned her my Season 1 DVD set to get her started but still no success. Now her dog has chewed up the packaging. Sigh!!! Thankfully she is going to replace it. Your powers of persuasion are obviously better than mine.

On Sunday evenings, Bravo shows 4 LOCI's back-to-back (not sure if they do that everywhere, or if that's just our cable programming). So, our usual Sunday night routine is dinner at home, followed by ironing in front of the TV (I have scorched a few things while being distracted...oops!). Last Sunday, my husband wanted to go out to our favorite Mexican place for dinner because we didn't go on our usual Friday night. I just looked at him, shocked, and said "But it's Bobby-night". Yes, he called me pathetic...and we got takeout.

Awww, your husband sounds like a nice guy. I'm sure when he called you pathetic it was said with love.

Thanks! Yeah...he's a sweetheart and a good sport. He actually really likes LOCI as well, so we make a good pair. He asked me to look up something on the internet for him a couple of weeks ago and I found it really quickly (lucky guess at a website name). When I produced the answer to his question in record time, he grinned and said "Thanks, Eames". I guess we're both LOCI geeks.

That's hilarious. Sounds like you are a well matched couple.

I have just signed up my 20-year old daughter and I for a NYC shopping trip next Monday. $50 each. NYC is about 4-1/2 hours away from where we live. It is a bus trip. They drop us off in front of Macys around 10 am and pick us up around 7 pm, so we are home by midnight. She just wants to shop and see the Christmas sights. Little does she know we will be on the hunt (in a non-stalking way) to see if CI is being filmed that day.

I hope you get lucky gv! I'm jealous! I wanna go!

LOL that's great! My husband likes it too. He likes to get all up in my face and "interrogate" me. Pretty funny.



Have a wonderful time. Even if you don't catch the CI filming-wouldn't that be a nice Christmas present?-seeing the stores decorated and all that sounds like a lot of fun..

THis is my first try on a message board. I've been reading the messages for a while. I've been a fan of all the L&O series since the beginning. The intellectual humor and reality just keep me coming back. CI has my real devotion though. From the first episode I fell in love with Bobby. He may be a fictional character, but when real life is just overwhelming, daydreaming is healthy.

My 16 year old son convinced me I needed an ipod, by explaineing that he could download seasons 5-7 to it. It works for us, I pay for his music downloads and he keeps me well supplied with LOCI on-the-go. For a mom who gets stuck in the doctors's offices for hours sometimes or when I need something to do during my 45 minute lunch break at work it has been a life saver. I'm sure people wonder what I'm smiling about, I don't care. I can go to a very happy place for 3/4 of an hour and make it through the rest of the day with great pictures in my head.

Welcome Marciemom!!!!!!

Welcome, Marciemom! I hope you enjoy the forum! Don't even knock, just come on in and have fun with us!

Welcome Marciemom

When I found out L&OCI was on Itunes I had to hide my credit card from myself.
LOL

Cuz I know I'd download every single episode. Well Goren/Eames ones anyway.

Oh yeah, and since this an are we pathetic board, is it pathetic that i am going to see Cadillac Records tonight just because some of our CI actors are in it?? Haha.

Welcome Marciemom! I think you will fit in just fine with the rest of us pathet.....I mean, focused fans.

This is why I finally decided to start posting here; I needed to communicate with people who appreciate good television. Good writing, excellent actors, what''s not to love?

Oh my... I'd start laughing hysterically if my hubby did that.




Hi Marciemom. Welcome! You know...I've been resisting getting an ipod, but you may have just given me a reason to put it on my Christmas list. LOCI on demand....what a great idea!

Just a word of advice. Ask for the 16gb. My 8gb only holds 8 episodes. My best friend got the 16 and it holds a whole season.

I have to say, I do appreciate the fact that my husband doesn't have a problem with my obsession. When my 19 year old daughter makes some comment about my being married so I shouldn't be looking, he just smiles. He isn't a big fan, but he will wait patiently for me to watch my episodes. He's away on business now, so its pretty sad--no hubby, no new episodes, just my trusty iPod.

ci, you crack me up!

Thanks for the tip! Glad you at least have your iPod during those hubby/Bobby dry spells!

i only have an 8gb, but its half full of music just now and i'm waiting for the rest of my music to be recovered from the old (now "retired" computer) and then it will be near full.

luckily, the new pc will be able to handle a few episodes and i've got my dvds too. i think i'll be fine with that.

p.s. we are not pathetic, we are merely "devoted" to our cause!!

The past few months have been very hectic for me. I sold my home of 27 years, put most of my "stuff" in storage and moved into a small apartment while searching for a new house, which I finally moved into in late November. Unfortunately the renovations weren't complete until this week. What a tangle, with a family wedding thrown into the mix. Now I'm frantically trying to get ready for Christmas. At 2:30AM this morning I was exhausted and stressed out so my sister-in-law persuaded me to give up and get some rest. She warned me to stay off the computer but then, because she knows me so well, laughed and said "Not likely you'll go to bed without saying good-night to Vincent." Yes, indeed!!! She knows me well. No matter how tired, I have to have my Vincent/Bobby fix for the day. Pathetic???

Just think of him as the one thing you can count on in a rapidly changing world. Vincent will always be HOT!

Absolutely, the more stress, the more we need our little 'fixes'. Having known a great many people with distructive addictions, I think ours is pretty healthy--I always sleep better after a Goren .episode. Takes us to a happy place.

couldn't agree more. I currently have the cold/flu/horrible throat infection (it can't make its mind up what it is yet) so having that happy place helps me feel a bit better!!

Nice to see we have another pathetic member of our happy little LOCI Land! You been up to the "To Ship or Not to Ship" thread in the "Shippers Only" subforum? Santa Bobby is up there and you can sit on his lap and tell him what you want for Christmas and get your picture taken. Oh, better take some mistletoe...Bobby just loves to kiss the ladies underneath the mistletoe!

We went through that bug. I work as a secretary in a high school, it went through real bad. Hope you feel better soon.

Pathetic? No! good way to de-stress before you go to sleep.




Hope you feel better soon TFM. sounds like what I had. I couldn't decide what it was either but it was nasty.

Hope all you sickies out there get to feeling better real soon. I got a flu shot, as did many others here, and heard yesterday that someone I know is sick with it, and he got a shot. Fortunately, his case isn't too bad. I told his wife that the flu shot doesn't always keep you from getting it, but should make it not so bad or so long-lasting if you do get one.

Y'all drink plenty of liquids and I'll send Doc.Bobby by with some homemade chicken noodle soup. Part of his "treatment program" is to feed it to you himself.....Ahh, he's such a good doctor....

Darn it, flashymom, now I want to get sick again!!! Bobby looks so good in a lab coat.

For the last month or so I have been DYING to dance a tango with Detective Robert Goren. To Viva la Vida by Coldplay.

Any other such weird ideas out there...or is it just me?

My greatest fantasy would be to do the horizontal boogie with Bobby. Music is optional.


Edited to Add:
Check out the "Are We Pathetic" thread. You'll find company there.

Its not just you. I have several songs on my iPod that envoke similar thoughts. Including Viva la Vida. Whew, I thought it was just me. I feel better. It is nice having active fantasies (can't dance at all in real life!)

For me it's Nora Jones... "Turn Me On".

Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come home and turn me on

Yeah baby.

Ladies...thank you so much for helping me NOT give up on myself...(I really thought it was time to call in the men with the white coats and the needle with the nice stuff... )



Wowzer!



Hmmm...you're right. Mods, Admin, I wont mind this thread being moved to the above-mentioned thread. I thank ye...

P.A. P

Hmmm....seeing as I am totally bored at the moment, may I warrant a guess as to what the P.A.P stands for?

Pathetic And Proud?

I am SO totally jealous of you guys who have dreams about Det Goren... Its been years...And I havent had any
