Who doesn't love him? hahaha...The man is a GOD. Who doesn't love him? hahaha.<br /><br />I believe you put it perfectly Con when you said, <br />"I felt like I had him ... 'inside' me (no punn intented!); like he was living deep in my soul and all I had to do was to close my eyes and conjure him up...his voice would come up like a scented vapour and then, my heart would race and I was ablaze."<br />I've had the same thing for a very long time now. It first started for me the second he came on the screen in HP1. I even had my family wait for the ending credits just to get his name! And when I did, it just...oh man, Alan overflow every day after. <br />And also, when Anonymous said "...I'm just totally obsessed with Alan Rickman & have been seriously worried about it for some long while now, even though I know I'm not alone!" well, I feel like she's inside my head! I was thinking that for so long when I first started out. Now it's been so long I just tell everyone I need my fangirl moment and escape to whatever online search engine flows through my fingers first. <br /><br />Oh Alan...how you make us all swoon. But we love it. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168669981842441301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12484381.post-31873097519070603562008-07-04T07:11:00.000-05:002008-07-04T07:11:00.000-05:00Hi British Anonymous, It's fascinating to me that ...Hi British Anonymous, It's fascinating to me that someone who is probably immune to the accent still is caught up by Alan's voice! So there aren't men on every street corner in Britain who speak like him? We American chicks were wishing so!

Just like every...Thank goodness I found this site! Just like everybody else here, I guess, I'm just totally obsessed with Alan Rickman & have been seriously worried about it for some long while now, even though I know I'm not alone!<BR/><BR/>In my own mind I have been wondering for ages what it is that is just so alluring about this man. Being English myself, I can't say it's his accent, although no one I know has a voice like that! I know he gets sack loads of mail from obsessed fans for whom he seems to represent some sort of sexual release & I certainly have to say that, on a personal level, he has brought out some sort of hidden sensuality in me that I wasn't previously aware of!! Keep trying to give up the 'habit' of obsessing with him but somehow I just can't seem to kick it & my fingers constantly stray to type his name into the search engine of the computer on a sickeningly too regular basis! .....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12484381.post-55027952700417763712007-02-25T08:59:00.000-06:002007-02-25T08:59:00.000-06:00Anonymous, it's just amazing how Alan appeals to w...Anonymous, it's just amazing how Alan appeals to women of all ages.

I'm not surprised you knew some of the folks who've posted. In my experience Alan has some amazing and devoted fans...it's really uncanny.

Sometimes they last only a week or two, sometimes years, but it's very seldom a lifelong thing.<BR/><BR/>My animus (the subconcious male spirit in a woman's psyche, according to Carl Jung) is continually searching for the best "mask" to assume at a particular point in my life. So he'll adopt one person or another's face and form for a time. It's always so exciting when a new version appears! But sometimes there are long "dry spells" in between, and those can be tedious to say the least.<BR/><BR/>I still find though, that even after the "magic" has passed, any person or celebrity who has served as an animus bearer is still special to me. I'm sure you feel the same way about Alan. Only occasionally does something happen that really sours that individual for you--I find that occurs when the real person does something very disappointing, something your imagined concept of him would never do.<BR/><BR/>I do go on! Anyway, your story about your feelings for Alan made me very wistful...Diana Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282682103659805945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12484381.post-1156849939092090592006-08-29T06:12:00.000-05:002006-08-29T06:12:00.000-05:00Sonja, beautifully said!

Maybe that's what is alluring about Alan, his character always seems to have a shadow, or an edge, a darkness to peel away. I love his accent, and his attitude that just oozes "I'm better than you, stop waisting my time" that's what I find alluring about him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
