Heck, try my Mom! She is DEFINATELY SuperMom! She cooks, cleans(okay, not for as many as Frankie, or under Mr Herriman's iron paw, but still), helps us girls with homework, drives us everywhere(and believe me, taking me ALONE to places is hard! We have classes and practices daily!) and still manages to do things like play violin in orchestra, be on the council or whatever of the Homeschool group we're in and TONS of other stuff.

Plus, on top of everything else...Well, let's just say that her family isn't the greatest. We all prefer to spend time with Dad's side of the family, and even they have drama.

My Mom puts up with a lot of stuff, and still manages to love us kids to death...Even though we're crazy teenage girls.

im not saying there arent anyone like that, im just saying i havent seen anyone like that..

Yes, I got it. :)

Wow, I'm very flatterd with you're complament, Insanefan. Yes we love Frankie for her heart and soul, but her good looks are a nice bonus.;)

Ditto to that. That was actually the nicest compliment I've ever received on a message board Insanefan, I don't think I've ever gotten one like that. It's nice to know someone is loooking at us more like dedicated fans then obsessive psychos.

It almost feels kinda like having a secret crush considering I've never openly expressed my feelings or attention towards Frankie out in the open. Mainly due to the fact I don't know anyone personally in RL who watches Foster's.

Being on the internet and talking bout something is a whole nother issue, but like I said, thanks again for noticing our seriousness to such a sweet and loveable character like Frankie and seeing it more then just unhealthy nerd worshipping.

Thank you so much for the compliment - I hope it works out! This is number two!:wiltshock:

Yep, I was VERY warmed by what InsaneFan said. Thank you very much! :D

And I'm kinda the same way as Mr. M. I'm open on the internet, but nobody I know personally(not even my family) is aware that I watch Foster's, or about my love of some other shows/movies/bands/etc. Not EVERYTHING, of course(I'm openly a Star Wars fan), but certain things I'm just too shy and unwilling to express to others in real life.

This will sound stupid and cowardly, but I just fear that other people will make unwanted, snippy and derogatory remarks towards me... like "You still watch cartoons?" and "You're crushing after a CARTOON CHARACTER? Get a life and grow up!".

The fact is, though, Frankie appeals more to me than most "real" girls I've ever known.

I don't think that sounds cowardly at all. I thought people were more open to liking stuff like that now, but sadly I have discovered that anime and South Park/The Simpsons/Family Guy are mostly the only things that applies to. I've gotten "I like real people shows".... bzuh? Do cartoons create themselves by spontaneous generation?

Thank you, Insanefan. I really needed to hear that, and I appreciate it. :-*

It's hard trying to explain to people about Foster's and Frankie. I don't even bring it up anymore unless someone asks, and I do get asked; I don't work, so people want to know what I do all day. I tell them I moderate an internet message board; if they ask what it's about, I tell them. Reactions range from smiles to puzzlement. Sometimes it goes further, and they want to know why I "waste" my time on a cartoon, and I do tell them it's because of Frankie. I don't really care what they think about it, or about me; I'm in love with her, and I won't deny it. In my view, it wouldn't be fair to her, and it's not something that I feel any shame about. I owe her way too much to treat her like that; whether she's real, cartoon, or Sim makes no difference to me, I will treat her with the same love, honor and respect that I would show any woman that I love, real or otherwise. I wouldn't consider myself much of a friend if I did anything less. That's how it is for me, at least, and my thoughts here are not to be taken as a comment or critique on anyone else's views or situation, because they're not. We all deal with our feelings in our own way, and we are entitled to do so. What I'm writing here is part of me dealing with and expressing mine. There's so much more that I could say about this wonderful lady, so much more that I want to say, but this is enough for now. :frankiesmile:

WOW. If Frankie were real, I think she'd want to marry you. Seriously. Ok you and a buncha others on here, but that was the nicest sentiment about her I've read yet. ^_^
