So, I now have three tickets for Saturday evening plus reserved seating tickets. I'll sell them to anyone for $20 each (including reserved seating), just email me at dunmiram@jmu.edu. Or, if you want to buy the Sat. tickets only, they are $17 each and the reserved seating tickets are $3 each. Just let me know.

Stick with it. Hmmm . . . I'm the one who posted the "whine whine whine" message to begin with, and at this point *I* don't remember what the original topic was (tho it probably isn't worth remembering). I know I never intended to start a MD-PA war, cos as we all know, Maryland is the most amazing state on the planet (we *do* have the Blair Witch, after all).

I had to read Owen Meany the summer before my senior year in HS, as my first assignment for AP Lit. So far I'm the only one in my family who's actually liked it. One of my brothers is struggling through it right now, my other brother had to do it 2 years ago, and they're always moaning about how bad the book was, and threatening to write papers with the thesis, "Owen Meany was a jackass." But they hated Jane Austen, too, so what do they know? :) Carey ------------------------------ Date: 13 Aug 1999 03:32:55 GMT From: acaia78@aol.com (Acaia78) Subject: Re: happiness Maggie wrote: > My example: my job is boring, usually >when we have no customers >(which happens quite often -- I work at >Manhattan Bagel) and ya know, boring >as all heck.

I used to volunteer at the local Literacy Council office, and to avoid dying of boredom I'd play with all the supplies in the desk. There are pages of my journal from that summer that are written in pink highlighters, chopped up with scissors, smeared with glue and rubber cement, and covered with "Each One Teach One" stamps and holes from the hole puncher. What can I say, I'm easily amused.
