yes

you are correct, we are just as fabulous as Patrick

kidding aside, i do think, from reading many threads on here that we are a very special bunch of fans. Many only posts in this particular thread. Now, that you have met
vivley, you will want to visit her blog where you can get so many pictures, interviews, videos. I think what I love the most about this fan fest is the positive energy and the joy that it is filled with now. We are aware that every time Patrick skates, it is a gift, a blessing, we receive.
To answer your question about blackbird : I was at Nationals... saw it live(btw Patrick is even better live...) .. wasn't very touched by it but it was not Patrick's best performance... at WORLDS... omg... i think i wrote a super long post... i was crying like a baby. It was such a wonderful skate. I think Patrick's state of mind at worlds for the SP was very relaxed and it gave him the flexibility and comfort to fly all over the ice.... he was indeed literally flying. A masterpiece.
You talk about your area, if you are okay with this, let us know where you are from! We are always thrilled to see fans from all over the world. Despite some of our exotic names, most of the active fans are from North America. We get the visit of caliente
calica (spain) from time to time and from a passionate russian
ayara. In the old times there was another fruit from Australia :
spikydurian...but she is discrete these days...

however, quiet or not, everyone is always welcome to cheer for Patrick, share a laugh or a joke, speculate on his next programs or just swoon (that's my specialty).
