Thanxs in advance And so you don't know what to say. Two hours in silence because you refuse to see what is going on. It's not normal to use people like that. You sit so gently on the crayon box of a bed and kiss me I let you break into my heart knowing full well what was going to happen. Maybe this time will be different. Maybe he really does love me. "A very special friend" is what you called me. Tell me how a kiss that sent fireworks spewing can happen between just friends. I don't understand you. You can't kiss me like that and tell me you love me And then sit there is silence because you don't know what is going on. What's going on is you don't have the guts to face what happened. You say you're not ready for another relationship, And yet you have no qualms with ruining the one we have. We can't keep running to one another when things get lonely One day we're gonna realize it has to be all or none, And i know you're relieved that that day doesn't have to be today. <3 always ~Mandabear~ The Forever Seeking Teen Angel ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Just a Normal Day for an 80's Kid Do you remember Strawberry Shortcake? Wuzzles? Pogo Balls? He-Man and She-Ra? How about Fraggle Rock? ALF? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, congratulations! You are a child of the '80's! You probably woke up in the morning and ate Fruity Marshmallow Krispies and drank Tang. Maybe you listened to Madonna, the Bangles, or Bon Jovi on the radio while you were getting ready for school. You skipped off to school with your Cabbage Patch Kid lunchbox, if you were a girl anyway. If you were a boy, maybe you rode to school on a BMX bike with your Thundercats lunchbox in tow. Your mom always made you a Fluffernutter sandwich, with a Hunts Snack Pack (those little pudding snacks), a Frito Lay Snack Pack, and maybe some chicken soup in your Thermos. And a juicebox, of course! You always brought your Trapper Keeper! At school you were bombarded with "Just Say No" propaganda. Maybe you watched with awe right in your classroom as the Challenger took off, and cried out in fear and confusion when it exploded. You were taught about "diversity". And you loved the playground! Ronald Regan was president, Micheal Jackson was the coolest guy around, and everyone was really into hairspraying their hair until it was practically vertical. The bad perm was in. Neon colors and flashy-looking clothes were everywhere. Remember Cyndi Lauper? You might have watched MTV after school, back in the days when it was still about music videos, not about inane gameshows, "reality" based shows, and moronic cartoons. Your favorite video could have been Weird Al's "Like a Surgeon" or even Prince's "Purple Rain". When you went to the movies, you watched Teen Wolf or Back To The Future. Maybe you made your mom and dad sit through both Care Bears movies. Microwave popcorn was in. Did you ever sneak microwave popcorn into the theatre instead of paying for movie theatre popcorn? On Saturday mornings, you woke up extra early to watch Foofur and Pee-wee's Playhouse. Or the Pound Puppies show. Do you remember the theme song to Flintstone Kids? or the Smurfs? But your favorite TV shows were probably the family-oriented sitcoms that came on later at night: The Cosby Show, Family Ties, ALF, Punky Brewster, Small Wonder. You probably watched a lot of Nickelodeon too. You Can't Do That On Television, Belle and Sebastian, and even DangerMouse and Pinwheel. If you were really well-to-do, you might have even got cable, like the Disney Channel or HBO. Do you remember Welcome to Pooh Corner, Dumbo's Circus, The Gummie Bears and Kids Incorporated? And on HBO there was always Fraggle Rock to watch. Those Doozers, Gorgs, and Fraggles living together was pretty interesting to watch. And don't forget the wisdom of the Trash Heap! ("The Trash Heap has spoken, nyahhhh!") And if you didn't have cable, there were still muppets to be found on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. I bet you remember the theme song to The Muppet Show. There was even a show about Muppet Babies! You ate lots of Doritos and Oreos, and drank lots of Coke. Did you drink New Coke, Cherry Coke, or Classic Coke? You were constantly bombarded with advertising choices. Would it be McDonald's or Burger King? I bet you chose McDonalds, because the older kids called Burger King "Booger King". Coke or Pepsi? Probably Coke, because of those cool Max Headroom commercials. And what about those Chester Cheetah commercials? You probably were dying to know if the Trix Rabbit would ever get those Trix! M&M's still had light brown, and there was no green or blue! And Crest came out with a pump kind of toothpaste! You probably played with Care Bears and Cabbage Patch Kids. And collected Garbage Pail Kids! If you are a boy, you probably loved He-Man, Transformers, and radio-controlled cars. If you are a girl, you probably loved Rainbow Brite, Pompples, and My Little Ponies. Did you have a Teddy Ruxpin? How about a Rub-A-Dub-Doggie? And you liked to play games like Trivial Pursuit,CandyLand, Mouse Trap, Clue, or Chutes & Ladders or Hungry Hungry Hippos. Trouble was always fun too. Did you think the Pop-A-Matic Bubble was cool? You might have even learned how to skateboard or Pogo Ball. You probably had a Big Wheel though. Did you have a Skip-It? You made delicious snow-cones with your Snoopy Snow-cone Machine. And you lived for Light Brite. I bet you thought the 64 Crayola Crayon box with sharpener was the most deluxe thing you'd ever seen. Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. was the hottest game in town, and everyone loved to go down to the local video arcade and play Hogan's Alley, or Pacman, or Q-Bert. After a long tough day of being a kid, you were exhausted. You probably hated going to sleep so early, as most kids do. And you always felt like you missed "the really good TV shows". You brushed your teeth with your special Muppet Babies toothbrush, using sparkly Crest For Kids toothpaste, and went off to bed. You charged up your Glo-Worms each night, so they'd glow like night lights as you fell asleep under your Garfield comforter, or New Kid's On The Block sheets. If you remember any of these things, you are a child of the 80's. Some people think it's wrong to have participated in such a decade and many are ashamed cuz they know they had those space pants and wore neon spandex shorts under their mini skirts and thought it was cool. I am proud to be a life time member of the 80's (82 was when I was born) and rememeber...GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!!!!!!!!!! <3 always ~Mandabear~ The Forever Seeking Teen Angel ________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail you don't need Web access to use -- Or get full, reliable Internet access from Juno Web!

Subject: ET: warped heh heh. *evil grin* i went to the warped tour yesterday. yup yup. it was great, too. it was just me and 4 friends. it was so much fun too, i pity all of you who didn't (or won't) get to go! zebrahead was definately the most fun (i almost got to meet them too, they were literally a foot away from me, walking around the place). blink was cool too though, so was less than jake (even if i almost got crushed by a bunch of 200 pound guys). got to "meet" less than jake, too (one of the guys, in a speedo...). the vandals, pennywise... totally the dopest show! the booths were pretty rad too, so cheep (wish i'd had more money). it was really, really hot (temperature-wise, and otherwise), and the only sucky part was that we couldn't bring in any food, and water was a complete ripoff. yoohoo gave out free drinks the whole day though. the place was trashed afterward, but who cares? except, i'd hate to have been the person to clean all that crap up before the second show today. tons and tons of stickers everywhere (free of course, most of them) from pornstar to zebrahead. ha-ha-ha. lucky me. so were there any of you everyday angels there yesterday (july 1st) at the orange show fairgrounds? - -sam the ? angel ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 23:49:38 -0400 From: Courtney M Gordon Subject: ET: yet again some more mindless babble (I can never get enough of it.) It's about 11:40 p.m. here now and I am bored out of my mind, as naturally I would be. And these retarded people across the road have been lighting off illegal (not a problem) fireworks for the past (no joke) 3 months (a problem)!!!! Michigan now has it's own brand of rednecked hillbillies living across the street from me. Great, we need a few more. (None of that was an offense to anyone living in southern states, just the people across the street.) Saturday (late afternoon) my brother Cricket (nick name) will be up here for a 5 week stay from Texas. I am going to my father's house saturday morning to sunday night so I won't see Crick until sunday. :-P I haven't seen him in 4 and a half years, but I'm sure I'll live with the thought that everyone gets to see him before I do. :-) Is anyone getting the feeling that I love parenthasis (sp?)? August first will be my one year anniversary of being an eda. I'm so proud. just thought i'd share that. Happy early 4th of july! As tradition i'm going over my friend Nik'ki's house when i get back from my dad's, to watch her fireworks. Every year after the 4th of july, her father goes to ohio to stock up on more fireworks for the next year, and all of them are illegal (surprise surprise). So he could get big fines for just using them and then more big fines for bringing illegal goods over state lines. But that's okay, it never stopped him before. :-) But I'm thinking I should drag Cricket down there with me, assuming he's not with his asshole dad. (we have the same mom, different sperm doner...i mean, father.) I'm sure that by now everyone is tired of heari...er...reading my brain drool, so i'll stop now. :-) love and luck always courtney ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
