Shortly after 9am today Tuesday, March 24, I received sad news from Chris, Lisa's daughter, that Lisa passed away during the night. Please post your condolences and sympathies here.
Lisa/Colinnut
(February 1958 - March 2015)
Contrary to popular belief, your "girls just want to have fun" Colinnut is sometimes a very serious nut in RL. A happy little nerd, interested in philosophy, comparetive religions and myths, and apprenticing with a 5th generation Peruvian Shaman. All of my attention was focused on loftier things. Falling for Colin or any other movie personality was beyond my comprehension. On the one year anniversary of my mom's passing, I wandered into Hollywood Video and saw a big SALE sign, what girl can resist a sale? VHS movies, 2 for $5.00! Not much of a selection, mostly RomComs. I'm not a RomCom kind of girl, but I did find 2 Renee Zellweger movies and thought what the hell, if they suck I'm only out $5.00.
I popped the tape into the VCR and saw Colin Firth. Ding-dong! Those gorgeous big brown eyes displaying so much emotion, those curls, dimples, the smile, the walk, the barely audible little throat groan. THUD! For the next 2 weeks I watched BJD over and over, Colin parts only of course! I then had to buy the DVD so I could ZOOM and freeze frame, I just could not get enough of this man! I felt like I was in another dimension. I kept waiting to hear Rod Serling's voice saying "you're traveling through another dimension, a journey into a wondrous land , whose boundaries are that of imagination. There's a signpost up ahead-- next stop, The Firth Zone!"
I began surfing the net for Colin info and the more I read about him the deeper I fell. I talked about Colin to anyone who would listen. My friends were becoming worried about me, I could see their concern as their eyes glazed over after 2 minutes of my Colin mania, but I was helpless to stop. For a while I thought maybe I was having a nervous breakdown, because now my obsession about why this was happening to me was almost worse than my obsession about this lovely British man. I bought every film I could get my hands on as well as every audio recording available. Then I found fan sites, and I found the Death Date thread and some of the most hysterical and warmest women on the planet.
As they say, the rest is history. I am still surprised sometimes by the depth of my feelings for Colin. Yes, he is SAF, but it is so much more than I can ever properly verbalize. His superb acting skills, his bravery in choosing roles, his devotion to his wife and his children, his compassion and humanitarianism, his wit and humor, his intelligence. The whole package and what a mighty fine package it is!
I sometimes wonder if I will end up "tragic spinster" divorcee because I don't know if I will ever find another man to even remotely compare, which sounds loony as hell, but I have no intention on settling for anything less.
A few years ago, Lisa asked me to post this picture of her if and when she would pass over the rainbow.
Sweet Dreams Lisa
Ten years ago on the Colin Firth Fantasy Women site
I met Lisa/colinnut and much to my delight
We became good friends almost overnight.
So in her memory I feel compelled to write.
Perhaps I should continue my Lisa story
By familiarizing you with a bit of Firth Sister history.
Back in those old days, we were at MSN’s mercy,
Where posting a few pix was like posting a heresy.
Lisa and LeeAnn along with Layla, in 2006,
Revamped Firth Sisters with no limit on posting Colin pix
She introduced us to the Photobucket site
Making it possible to post pix day and night.
In 2007, Lisa had her Sisters uploading all kinds of pix to generate
The Motivational thread that’s still in progress as of this date.
In short time, MSN decided to terminate
Our Firth Sisters site so Lisa decided to create
Our new home here at Proboards for all to participate.
In 2008, Firth Sisters membership had grown
By leaps and bounds… who would’ve known!
Over 350 members all over this earth,
All claimed their love and adoration for Colin Firth.
The same year Lisa felt Colin’s humanitarian acts deserved a salute
So she started the Oxfam Colin Firth Birthday tribute.
Over 5 years with thousands of posters to motivate
About 50 thousand dollars the Firth Sisters would donate.
Over the years some of the members would come and go
But Lisa was and will always be the one that you know
Who had the vision to make Firth Sisters site so great
But most of all I have to state
In all Lisa’s years of health issues she never complained
With her last breath, to all especially me, she remained
The dearest, sweetest, and kindest friend to the end.
Sweet dreams Lisa
