Hello everyone. I haven't written to the list in a long time - in fact, I haven't listened to any Poe in a long time, either. But today, I went to the tanning bed (yes, I am one of those people that lives at the beach but hates it here. Hey, I gotta get my sun somewhere!) and I always take a cd in with me. Well today, I took Haunted. And the following is my Poe dilemma.... I love Poe. I always have. Ever since the first time that I heard Angry Johnny back in '95, I can't seem to get this "Amazing" woman out of my head. Whenever I have a problem, boy related or otherwise, I know I can turn to Haunted or Hello and get consolation. Poe is such a huge part of my life - of ME. When I hear her music, I can FEEL her music. My heart, my soul, my mind - they all ache and dance to the beat of her own drum. I hear Poe, and I get such strong feelings and emotions and sensations running through me, it is so hard and almost impossible to describe. I want to talk about it, to try and explain it, to speak to someone about what I feel for her music and her hold on me, but no one I know really knows her like I do, like all of you do. No one understands how I feel. But I know all of you do. And that is why I became an AP about 2 years ago. And that is why I lurk about, though I hardly ever speak. I just like knowing that I can be near all of you and share your feelings and emotions and words. I like knowing that in some small way we all share something exactly the same about ourselves with one another. Poe. I know you all understand where I am coming from, and in times when it really gets to me, I know I can turn to the list and get consolation from others that have been there. Cause it is so weird, you know? I have never met Poe, I have never seen her in person. I had never even seen one of her videos until Krod Knid sent it to me (thanks, by the way!!). All I have is a few pictures, and of course her words. And somehow, just that small piece of this woman that is a complete and total stranger to me otherwise can totally envelope me. It can get inside me - my mind, my soul, my heart - - and it can tear me apart sometimes. Like I can't get enough. I always want more. Her words, her wisdom -to some mere songs, entertainment. But to others, so much more. To ME, so much more. When I feel at my lowest, I turn to what I have of her, and I feel better. But not 100%, you know? I want more!!! I can't wait to get Conjure One..... I am one of those idiots that hasn't gotten to hear the songs yet. Thank you all for listening to me rant. I just find solace in the idea that I know you understand my feelings. Thank you for understanding. And Poe, if you are out there, thank you for being such a magnificent influence on my life. Sometimes I wonder if you realize the profound effect that you have on others - you are truly Amazing.

I know what you mean about it being difficult to convey the magic of Poe in words alone, particularly as each song holds a unique meaning to each listener. I've found it most effective to give gifts of Poe CDs to everyone I can. After listening a few times, they will understand. Even better, drag them to a show next time she's touring :-) Bren ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 11:23:14 -0700 From: "Ice Princess" Subject: SoCal RAINN event pics Hey everyone, I just wanted to give you the link to my POE pics from RAINN event: http://www.mattdehamer.com/images/rainnPOE/ Enjoy! ~Shelley _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------------ End of angry-psychos-digest V7 #232 ***********************************
