Nice to see I'm not the only one....
Wow, I just found this forum today and I have to say THANK GOODNESS because I thought I the ONLY woman who fell in love with "V" after wathing the movie.
I saw it for the first time about a week and a half ago, since then I have seen it 6 times, have the soundtrack and think about it for hours on end.
Like many of you I have tried to figure out exactly why this movie and character has had such an intense affect on me but just can't quite pin it down.
I love his voice, the way he uses words, his body language, his hair, oh how I love his hair. There is something extremely mesmorizing about him and I'm hooked.
I just wanted to say hello to you all, and thank you for being here. I have had this sense of guilt for feeling how I do, and to know I am not alone is HUGE.

Welcome LMillar!! I also felt so relieved when I found this site! The movie has stirred a lot of emotions and hidden strengths in all of us!

L.-You are definitely not alone when you join this crowd!
I, one of the token guys will be one of the first to welcome you! Poke around, I think you will find much to feed your addiction.

Yep...we've all been there too...Great Soundtrack! I'm still listening to it, and still tearing up to "Evey Reborn".

Check out some of the old threads I just recently referenced on "Greatest Hits of LOTSG" in the help section.

Yes you are...join the club...It is really cool to see someone who just caught the V bug! Afraid we've all gotten a bit jaded.
BTW, as to the voice and the words, there is an entire thread founded on the premise that they have a...how should I say it?...a visceral effect:
"The Erotic Dynamics of Alliteration, or Why it Felt That Way" by CyranoRox
One of the best "old threads" on the board!

Welcome lmillar!
I wonder how many of the newbies start their first post with 'Thank God I found this place!' I know I did. I was convinced that no one was likely to feel the same way about V that I do, I trawled the internet for months looking for something to satisfy my obsession! Finally found this place and it rocks!

Re: Nice to see I'm not the only one....
Thank you for the very warm welcome everyone.
I had been looking at "V" info and images all over the net and even checked over a few forum boards, but NEVER say anyone else who was as captivated as I was. Hence my wondering if I were the only one...lol.
Its a strange feeling to be so caught up as I am, its not "me" at all. I watch many movies, excellent ones, ones that make me think, ones that challenge me to think, and I have never in my life experienced anything like this before.
Feeling alone and a bit strange after not being able to get the character out of my head I was starting to think I was losing it. Great to see I'm not.
"VLA" thats cute, as to me thats why I'm here, lol. My husband is aware that I am a little obsessed with the movie, hence the MSN image, our "V" desktop, the soundtrack and many screenings, but I don't exactly feel comfortable telling him that I'm mostly obxessed with the character of "V".
So again, many thank you's for the warm welcome, and just for being here everyone, its a huge relief I tell you to be able to share.

 Welcome aBoard, LMillar!
dont worry, your secret is safe with us!  
Head on over to Who Are You and post an intro when you get a chance.

Oh, yess, that is the primary symptom!!! I made several trips to my therapist for reassurance. She told me, among other things, that all kids need super-heros. And as an adult passionate woman, it was A-OK if my hero was sexy, too. (I love my therapist!)
V has enriched my life in so many ways. Tomorrow, I am wearing my little V amulet (Click Here! ) to a job interview, and I will not be afraid!

Me to! I used to feel really guilty about how obsessed I am with V. Hubby is starting to get the picture I think - after the 50th watch of the movie, the pictures I have drawn, our desktop, the gn and many other clues! I don't think he would be too chuffed to realise that I spend almost every waking moment thinking about him tho!
I have to delete my history every night, just in case! How devious!!
I once caught him looking at stuff that didn't make me too happy! So, I no longer feel guilty, this is payback! I just never imagined I would feel this intensely about a fictional character! (Actually, I was pretty obsessed with Gregory Peck when I first saw 'To Kill a Mockingbird' but I was just a kid and probably looking for a father figure or something.)
Hubby had to know about my involvement on this forum - 'cos I'm here so much and he kept asking what I was doing, but I still don't think he realises that we sit about writing about V all day long! I asked him to wear a cape in the bedroom once and he wasn't keen! Wish I could get him to dress up as V without him realising that it's V I would be thinking about throughout! What a night of passion that would be!
Perfect time to announce: If ever I disappear without a trace, then hubby has discovered my secret and I will be banned from the forum!

Re: Nice to see I'm not the only one....
Thank you again, you guys are all so understanding, not to mention funny.
Yesterday I downloaded some of the screen shots from here, YUMMY, I have V on my desktop looking over his shoulder, the image from the first scene where he meets Evey, as he's giving his speech full of "V's".
I have tried to post in the introductions forum but it won't let me. Any ideas? It would be nice to share with you a little about myself and see who you guys are too.
