If I was a criminal, I'd be... in prison for er, crimes I would rather not say :D

Hello! I'm a newbie in this years-old fandom I should have joined ages ago. I've seen headers and icons containing CM characters - most notably Dr. Reid - but I wasn't really interested until I saw an episode a few weeks ago. It was the thing about Haley, too, which was a horrible place to start (truthfully, it was Reid's quickfire delivery of the phone conversation word for word that hooked me) but it finally got me into buying DVDs and marathoning the five seasons. What actually made me stay is, obviously, the nerdy Spencer Reid and his nerdier clothes. I miss his old clothes, by the way, and his glasses. I am not ashamed to say that my entire thing revolves around men who are skinny, geeky, intelligent, awkward and tall with dark, amazing hair and bad fashion sense. Smart is so sexy and smart with weird? <3333333

Eh, sorry for the long introduction post! I hope to have plenty of CM friends to geek out with. I'm also a Reid/Morgan shipper, just to put it out there *wink*

Welcome to the comm and the fandom! Pretty much everything you said in your post made me bounce in my chair and say 'I so agree!' Especially when it comes to your taste in men. I miss Reid's old clothes and glasses too, but I have to say that what I miss the most is his old hair. It was just so pretty. :( Of course you are. We just established that you have good taste. ;)

Welcome to the fandom :)
Reid/Morgan ♥ You're definitely not alone.

Hi! Welcome. And wow, '100' was your first ep... That's sort of harsh. On the other hand, it was an amazing episode for quality and content. (It just makes me cry...) As I said, welcome from one newbie to another.

Hi!! I'm new as well, and anyone who has love for Dr. Reid is a-okay in my books!!! I also enjoyed his old-school grandpa-chic attire in the first few seasons (especially when he'd pair it with the Chucks. What a visual oxymoron!) but I'm also loving the recent tailored look as well. Though, did you notice the epic purple shirt/tan sweatervest combo on last night's ep? I believe that's the same combo that features in the group shot at the end of the opening credits. That was a bit of a throwback.

And the messenger bag! I thought it was gone until it made a triumphant reappearance in "JJ". Almost sent me through the roof with joy.

Okay. That's enough fangirling for one comment. It's really nice to meet you; I am also trying to make more CM friends, so yeah... welcome!!!
