When Flower initially told me that she and Spedly had begun dating, she told me that at times she had called him "Baby LOVELIFE."
At that time, I hadn't met Spedly yet, but from his posts on Bluelight, from our AIM conversations and from Flower's gushing over him, I could tell what an absolutely amazing person he was, and as such, I was honored by the nickname.
Then, on the first night of The Most (In)Famous Meetup In The History Of Bluelight, I finally got the opportunity to meet the beautiful young man who authored the masterpiece which begins this thread.
Twenty or so of us were in a hotel room, partying it up, oblivious to the fact that the following evening would be a huge turning point for many of us and for Bluelight itself.
Spedly and Flower entered the room holding hands, shitfaced grins emblazoned on their faces, obviously very much in love.
Flower saw my face, screamed "LOVELIFE!" and Spedly immediately ran into my arms, hugged me and kissed me on the cheek as if he was my long lost brother.
He and Flower then whisked me into the bathroom so the three of us could share a private moment (and perhaps something else; I forget
) together.
I cannot overstate how amazing that felt - just how blatantly obvious the level of mutual respect we had for each other . . . and this I will never forget - in that bathroom in that sixty dollar a night motel . . . I felt like we were in the VIP room at a Hollywood club, each of us an adoring fan overwhelmed by the fact that we were FINALLY getting to party with our favorite movie star.
That's the kind of person Spedly was - he was a star who treated other people like stars.
Darling Spedly, it's incredible.
That someone so unforgettable,
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable too.
