Happy Birthday FC!

Yay! We made it! This club official started just a little over a year ago :) Our first newsletter came on on January 7, 1998 (even though the date on the newsletter says January 8th--go figure that one out! :)

So much crazy stuff has happened since then! I bet you don't even remember half of it. I know I didn't remember a lot of it and, well, heck, I'm supposed to be in the know, you know? But no. And so, I went to our trusty newsletter archives, and here's just some of the stuff we've done in the last year.

*Valentine's Day contest
*Trivia Contest (July & August)
*Fanfic Contest (Spring 1998)
*The Halloween Short Stories Contest (October 1998)
*Super Summer (so it was short lived, so sue me...actually, sue AOL...) ;-)
*The first-ever chat party on June 14, 1998
*Our big L&C Rememberance issue on September 12, 1998
*The opening of the SuperSite
*Lots of questionettes (remember Lois's worst outfit?)
*The SuperStore's debut
*Over a dozen FOLC Central "Victims"
*56 Newsletters...

And we started out with only 27 members! Today, we've quintupled (is that a word?) that number. You FOLCs rock! Also, when we started out, it was just me and GG. Now, we have a whole team of super FOLCs who help put together each and every newsletter. :)

I want to thank our columnists: Rachel, Karen, Jill, Maggie, Cat, and Cristin, for all the terrific work you've done. I depend on you all so much, and you do a great job! :)

Thanks, also, to everyone else who has contributed to the club--Erin, Jenn, Jessi, darrnnnn I hope I'm not forgetting anyone. Thanks to everyone who has ever responded to trivia or to a questionette, entered a contest, offered to be a "victim", voted, visited our website, submitted fanfic, sent in sightings, or just e-mailed me to tell me you're alive. ;-)

Thanks!!!
Molly

Maggie's Mouthful --Birthday Cake Edition
by Maggie13@bellsouth.net


Happy Biiiiiirthdaaay to US, Happy Birrrrrthdaaaay day to US, Haaaaappy
Biiiiiiirthday, FOLC Centraaaaal, happy birhtdaay to Uuuuuuussss........

Hey everyone! Totally excited about our First Anniversary, can ya tell?
While Molly blows out the Birthday Candles, I feel like reminiscing....
when Molly was looking for helpers for the Newsletter, she asked:

When did you become a super, maniacal, obsessed FOLC?

To which I replied, in my Best Lois-Babble to date:

Maniacal?!?Obssessed!?!?Moi!?!?
Just because I read a fanfic everyday during my lunch hour, and my computer
is programmed with not one but two Superdesktop themes to choose from, and
I actually own a computer in the first place because when I found the
Archive in the computer at work I realized, one hour a day is just not
enough! Just because, I own the soundtrack, bought the books, made a
collage of my favorite pics, just because I downloaded an autographed
picture of Teri and Dean from Ebay and printed it and framed it and its the
only picture currently on my desk besides my beloved mommy, just because, I
think a re-run of L&C is better than most of what's on the air now.....
Does Not mean I am Maniacal, Obsessed etc. I could be suffering from an
acute case of Superman fixation combined with LCWS, tinged with a bit of
Dean Worship, the doctors just aren't sure........They have yet to come up
with a scientific description of my ailment not to mention the fact they
believe its highly unlikely I will ever recover fully....They say all we
can do is wait and see....Watch a few more episodes, visit some websites,
read a fanfic and relax, they are sure, however, that no major damage will
be done to my immune system due to this affliction and repeated doses of
Dean actually seem to make my heart flutter healthily :) :) :)

And I had so much fun answering that question, a columnist was born.
So I have all of you to thank for my favorite hobby, besides making up new
DeanWords
ofcourse, which is loads of fun! (i.e. How was the Birthday Cake?
Deanlicious!
How would you describe Season 6? Deantacular!..........you get the
idea.........)

Thanks to all of you for being a part of our FOLC Central family.

Light a candle, eat some cake, read a fanfic and stay tuned because we have
lots of Super surprises in store for you this year!

The Obsession Connection

Have you heard that Sarah McLachlan song, "Angel"? I really like that song. So, you're thinking, big deal. She likes a song, so what? I say it is important, so there. Now, I'm not big on angels. No offense, but I wouldn't watch Touched By An Angel if I was paid to. But when it comes to Angel, and I mean THE Angel, the too-gorgeous-hunk-of-a-vampire (I would say "man", but I call em as I see em) on "Buffy", I am totally in love. My cousin Sarah visited a few weeks ago, and we went to the Chinese place to get crab puffs, and "Angel" (the song) came on the radio. I asked Sarah if she liked the song, she said yes. I told her it reminded me of you-know-who, and she was like "Huh?", and *I* said...all you have to do is change the lyrics from "In the arms of the angel" to "In the arms of Angel" and you've got a yummola mental image going on. Sarah agreed. She's got great taste.

I had a LCWS (Lois & Clark Withdrawal Syndrome) attack last night. I went mental. More mental than usual, and that's a lot of mentalness. Between eating spaghetti-Os and dubbing Buffy episodes....and working on my new L&C page....and going to school....and to work....making up Dean songs (ahem)....and then LAST night I had a Buffy dream....well, let's just say, I haven't had much time to watch L&C. I'm still watching it, of course. Just not much lately, and when I say lately, I mean today and yesterday and half of last Monday. I watched "The Phoenix". I fast-forwarded through the Lex-goes-bald-oh-gee-darn parts. I savored the oh-my-gosh-it's-Dean parts, and then I went into my room and listened to the tape of L&C songs Jenn oh-so-graciously dubbed for me.

And then last night, I went freakazoid, and I have witnesses, who I may have to pay to keep quiet, seeing as how they write columns for this newsletter. It is not my fault I had bitter anger and hatred of abc bottled up inside of me. Sometime's a girl has just got to scream.

Aaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

There, I screamed. Hey, that was fun! I should really do that again sometime...

But, in the end, I've got my Dean posters, and my books, and my T-shirt, and about 63% of my sanity, so I'm OK. Are you OK? I'm fine, but I really could use some more chocolate.
