ER - The Roomies #24: Because she likes sleeping in his shirt

DaveAbbyLuver · 04-16-2006, 11:12 AM

Okay, guys, here's the deal. Fanforum hit a major glitch when they did the server upgrade and most of the data was lost. We're working off a backup from June 2005 to restore the site. All of the threads will have to start from scratch. We're in a little better position than most because I had to copy the intro post and edit it from html to vBulletin code a while back, when the mods closed the thread before I could use the reply with quote trick to copy the whole thing. But the copy I have is from thread 13, so we're missing about 150 becauses and 50-some-odd supporters on the list, not to mention the new songs to the soundtrack, the fanart, etc. I'll be editing this post with new information as you guys get it to me. What I need from you guys (and not all at once, please) are all the becauses and songs that you can remember. And also, if you were added to the list before and you're not on it now, PM me or post here and let me know so I can add you back. Thanks for your cooperation and patience while we get this mess sorted out. You guys are the best.

Welcome to ROOMIEVILLE... An Appreciation Thread for Ray/Neela

Hop aboard the Insanity Express to Loserville, a sister thread for Morris and Jane.

Made by Just Tracy

This thread is devoted to the pairing of Neela Rasgotra and Ray Barnett. Neela is a smart, by-the-book girl, and Ray is a doctor, in a rock-band boy's body. Both met in season 11 and the hints and sparks have been flying since. From the first casual flirt, to the snowballs thrown, to the invitation to become roommates, these two are meant to be. And this is just the beginning of their story.

Need more reasons? Check out the Ray/Neela Ship_Manifesto essay over at Livejournal: How Come No One Told Me You Were Such A Badass?, by Fi (fc2001)

I was just going to post a link to the most recent thread we were able to save (#13), but looks like you already found the stuff!

tigger21 · 04-17-2006, 05:33 PM

Ash, Meghan The board looks great

Im glad the board is up and running again, I really missed this place. Its prob gonna take us awhile to get the thread back to pt it was at prior to the site going down, but Im sure we'll get there!

Anywayz off to remember Becauses and stuff

Welcome back ya'll

josh'sgirl7 · 04-17-2006, 08:01 PM

Wow that's too bad about looseing all the stuff!! I'm glad it's up and running again. Does anyone know when the next new ER Episode is?

Hope everyone had a great Easter.

amberlm2403 · 04-17-2006, 08:04 PM

I think the new episodes start on the 27th.

I guess I should ask to be re-added to the shippers list?

I'm so glad the board is back online.

ray_rocks · 04-17-2006, 08:07 PM

Yay!! The forum is back!! I missed it so much!!

Too bad we lost so many posts and stuff, but I'm pretty sure together we'll manage to get back most of the things we lost.

I remember a song that was in the list:
Jonny Was - So what does it all mean

And I have some of the last becauses, as someone wrote them in a review after Strange Bedfellows, and I copied that review in a email for a friend of mine.
Here they are:
Because the entire hospital thought Ray had slept with Neela.
Because she is the best friend he has ever had
Because he bought her pizza with extra anchovies
Because he wants her to remember the good times
Because we all know how much he is going to miss her
Because even tho she didnt say we know she is really gonna miss him too
Because he wishes he didnt feel the way he did, he doesnt want to make things difficult for her
Because it feels like an end of an era but we know this is just the beginning!

Of course the credit goes to the person who wrote that review, sorry but I don't remember who did...

Finally, please add me to the list!!!

I'll try and remember something else...

neelant · 04-17-2006, 08:14 PM

I missed my roomies soooooooooooo much and the board too! It feels like year or even forever since I was here! Glad it back and I understand about the glich with the board it's cool! I don't know where to start thought hehe

josh'sgirl7 · 04-17-2006, 08:15 PM

Thanks Amber, Shoot I'll be gone on vacation that week.

I'm going to Graceland! lol I'll have to have my boyfriend tape it for me.

Serene_Ray · 04-17-2006, 08:30 PM

Awww. I've missed this place.

tidbit2008 · 04-17-2006, 08:43 PM

I don't remember what supporter number I was but please re-add me to the list.

Ahh.. I know I'm responsible for 2 of the becauses.. umm one was something along the lines of: Because the way they look at each other says it all

OHH the other was like: Because they're falling fast and hard

Something along those lines anyways

ray_rocks · 04-17-2006, 08:54 PM

This is probably new, I don't remember it being in the list, but I just thought about it now...

Because he saved her from the trolley

DaveAbbyLuver · 04-17-2006, 08:55 PM

Okay, have added, Amber, neelant, ray_rocks, Serene_Ray, and tidbit2008 back to the list, and we're up to date on all the becauses you guys just posted. Also, Tigg and I remembered a bunch over AIM, so I've added those, too, and also added the link to Loserville.

Slowly but surely getting back to normal. Thanks for all your help, guys. Keep those becauses coming.

~Ash

ray_rocks · 04-17-2006, 09:06 PM

Ok, here's another new one (I think)...

Because they get along so well

(referring to the dialogue between Neela and Dubenko in Lost In America)
