Sorry for my vague neglect of this site (though it's nowhere near how neglected http://www.sam-rockwell.com has been... oh man i feel so guilty about that thing >_>).

Over the past couple months or so I've been having a job and earning money like a good adult person, so that's been taking up my time; when I get home I'm usually too tired to do anything but scroll mindlessly through the pretty pictures on Tumblr (you can find me at http://anivad42.tumblr.com), blame Misha Collins for the world's various ills, and co-write fan fiction about Zachary Quinto's characters at Hogwarts.

So there's been a slight backlog of updates accumulating, though I try to get any breaking news up here. It's the more irrelevant or redundant stuff that gets ignored for the time being (everyone already knows that Keanu's directing Man of Tai Chi, right? Right). But if, say, Keanu finally starts work on Passengers, I'd definitely get that up here asap.

Thank you so much to inkhuldra, LucaM and the others who have been dutifully posting updates on the forums. You guys keep the site alive. <3

I stop work at the end of this week, so by then I should be free once again to Do Stuff before my honours year of college starts in January, whereupon I'd probably still be free to do stuff because I'm kind of a slacker.

In the meantime, all of you are awesome. Thanks for making WINM what it is and contributing to the amazing community that we have here. We've now passed 200 members, you're all either human or very clever spambots, and I love all of you. You will get cake.

I'd like to have a happy cupcake (like these: http://sweetelement.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/smile/), preferably with Our Man attached to it.

It could be glued to his body with particularly sweet and sticky icing, for instance.

don't worry, if I read/hear the slightest rumor (even if from ugossip) about Keanu starting work on Passengers, I'll flood your inbox and twitter ;)

and I will post on this site for as long as it stays online and I am alive. planning to be the oldest person in Keanu fandom. Even when I'm old and gray and surrounded by cats, will keep posting; even if I'll have to use a Braille keyboard to do it. oh wait, by that time we'll all have brain implants and be living in virtual constructs and...

is there any of that Dozer's home-er-hovercraft-made moonshine left? someone pass the jug, please...

Luca: I always thought I would be the oldest living Keanu fan. Maybe we can share the title and a room in the nursing home. When Alzheimer's or dementia sets in, we can live out life as permanent teenagers. Have Keanu dream boy pillowcases to snuggle up with, posters all over the walls and Keanu playing on the TV (or whatever we have by then) all day long. Doesn't sound like a bad way to live to me:D

Ani, here's your choice to study fandom and its side effects over the years ;)
with a bit of luck we might get our 15 minutes of fame after all. us, the Trekkies and the Kinsey reports ;) :D

inkhuldra - nope, did not visit the Garden; I discovered the internet only in 2005 :(

The Garden was an amazing meeting place for Keanu fans, and we had lots of fun there. The internet was still such a small place, a global village. Most companies didn't have websites yet, and people mostly had internet access from work or at school (colleges, universities). Gardeners would get together for Dogstar concerts or to hang out at film locations, and there was a number of Gardeners in Winnipeg for Keanu's Hamlet performances. I went to Chicago when Keanu was filming Chain Reaction there, and I got to meet a number of awesome Gardeners, and also got to see Dogstar twice.

well, i must say i'm a bit jealous i wasn't born a little earlier..!

Now, I will continue this post under The Films of Keanu Reeves / Chain Reaction, to share the story about how I was an extra in the movie. This should be a direct link there: http://www.whoaisnotme.net/forums/view.php?threadid=465
