I'd like to start with an apology- I don't know if any of the 'old timers' are still here, anyway, so if you've got no idea what I'm talking about- feel free to ignore... I feel kind of horrible. I used to be here all the time, and then stuff happened in real life (a lot of stuff) and I kinda lost touch and now I feel like a complete stranger... I have no idea what's going on as far as Noah's concerned, I haven't kept up with any news or anything- and it doesn't feel right, because I'm still head over hills, 100% a fan and I miss what we had here. So yeah, at the risk of sounding sentimental (and a bit crazy) I really missed this board and I do hope you'll take me back. I have a lot of catching up to do. And since I'm sorta new here again, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Anna. I'm 25. I'm from Israel. I'm studying medicine now, got three years left, and I think it's safe to say ER had a big part in my career choice.  I've been a fan of Noah's work and him in general since- well since I can remember, really. For over 12 years, that's for sure. And I used to be here a lot. I used to be a walking encyclopedia in anything Noah-related- well, enough to piss off my friends by constantly talking about him. Like I said, I'm a little out of the loop, and it feels bizzare. I feel like a horrible fan, like I abandoned him, which is ridiculous. But I never really stopped adoring Noah- when I got into medical school this year, my friend made me a poster of Carter saying he's proud of me, and it's hanging above my bed. I just reazlied- it must be what it felt like for Carter to return to County after all the time he'd been away... it's all the same but everything's new and you're a stranger where you used to be at home. So yay, I guess I'm Carter?  (oh my god! those smilies I made are still here!!! I'm literally crying with nostalgia right now. Excuse me.) |

Welcome back Anna!  I was wondering what you become if you were still in medicine and I thought it will take a lot of time because we do not see you on the forum. But do not feel bad, me too, my period, leave Noah and it's watching ER that my love for this actor came back and I am on this forum looking for news on him ... still, I rely on others for the news because I do not have much time for myself  look, you see it's still there^^ |

Oh thank god!  good to see you girls again! And thanks, noahwylebeard ... I'm going to try and be here as much as I can, which is probably not much, considering I'm in the midst of finals month... *sigh* will the exams never end? Also- I LOVE the nickname  Also- I'm kind of ashamed to admit I don't know the password for the General thread...  I don't know who's moderator now (is Raffy still around?) but I hope someone can tell me. I'm missing all the good stuff  ETA: thank you lovely ladies.  |

Oh, looks like I answered first in the wrong thread.  Well, as I said in the picture thread, I'm very happy to see you back here Anna! ;D I totally see what you mean with going away, and then not daring to come back just because it's been long . But time just flies. That happens... The amazing thing is that we still remember this place and are drawn to it , even after a long time! So, welcome back!  I surely did miss you. |

I was reading that and I actually got tears in my eyes... Because you know, of course I'll remember this place, just as I remember everything that was important to me and shaped me in some way. And I was thinking earlier today about that saying that home is the place where, when you go, they have to take you in... Not saying that this is home, but I dunno. It's just nice to have something to come back to. Things get so crazy and so much changes, you know? And let me tell you, I don't think there are many actors in hollywood who have such a devoted and loyal fanbase. I mean, it's been years since I watched ER, and I just randomly quoted it today, and decided to look up a screencap from one episode (mmmm.... peanut butter ) I mean who does that? Usually people just... forget. I don't know. Nobody stays a fan forever. Me, I don't remember my own phone number. But I know all the important dates when it comes to Noah, like it's embedded in my brain foreber. I guess Noah just has that much effect on people. Wish he knew that, with the 'all two of my fans?' jokes... |

Oh man Anna, this is just the kind of eloquence and in-deep analysis that I've missed.  And I love the comparison to Carter's comeback. This is actually the first time that I'm not only talking about it and trying to comprehend how it must have been like for him - I can really understand it now. THANK YOU!  |

Thank you! Great to see you!  Guys guys while we're going with parallels: This little reunion? That's just like the old gang going out for drinks on Carter's big opening night, in the last episode!  Claudia, stop, you're making me blush. And if by 'eloquent' you mean 'girl you spend way too much time overanalyzing everything' then you're probably right, but thank you. I've missed having amazingly intelligent in depth conversations about things. Can't really do that much in real life, my friends roll their eyes every time I make an obscure ER reference or quote something Noah said, and then mentally high-five myself. By the way, I wasn't kidding when I said I had a motivational Noah poster hanging above my bed---   |

I love it Anna! I need one of Tom Mason I guess because I'm majoring in becoming a history teacher. ;D But, I was studying to be one before Noah took the role of Tom Mason, but I'll still give him credit, because he continues to give me motivation. ;D
