OK... nothing's lost... it's only the first week... there's still time to vote 'till January 10th... and I hope many of you do(at least all of those who sent nominations - that would be like a minimum)... cause I wasn't the only one who thought this was a good idea... and if this "Pilot Episode" doesn't work well it just might get permanently cancelled... especially since only one of it's components Album Of The Year had such a great success last year and it would make more sense to keep it at that if all of this is just too much for you! Uhmm... oh yeah... if you plan on voting and you are currently busy and/or just need more time... it would be really great if you let me know... just one sentence - only so I know if anybody else even cares... cause if not, then there's no reason for me to bug you with these posts and trash the list and I might as well just put everybody out of our misery! Well anyway, on how to vote and what to keep in mind while at it, find out here: http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Metro/2009/edaawardsrules.html and when you vote I recommend using this template, those who bothered found very useful... it is however possible to do it right without it, it just takes a bit more of an effort (thanks Tom!*g*): http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Metro/2009/edaawardsform.html If you are without web access... e-mail me for the above! Thank you,... over and out! - -- Have fun and stay beautiful Dr. RomeAntic, an angel with the worst stroke of luck and a flash of silver lining "Slow motion see me let go...." 3Eb Catch Dr. RomeAntic's outdated cyber image @ http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Metro/2009 ------------------------------ Date: 24 Dec 99 18:51:25 CST From: Naomi Vaughn Subject: ET: *Merry Christmas everyone* forgotten past? forged for future misgivings lost somewhere inbetween discovery & acceptance 12.19.99 - -- something about you triggers mystically within me and i just can't seem to grasp that you're really there that you're really saying these things to me that we are really us. i know it's a typical girl response and for that i apologize but you are pure and simply too good to be true. 12.24.99 - -- my fantasy suddenly and finally entered my reality in that moment your lips met mine 12.24.99 - -- perhaps it's nothing more than a little girl love i feel for my little boy love why? because i daydream and think of him with a little girls consistancy twirling my hair around my finger staring at nothing wondering what he's doing at that moment where he is just then and i get a little girl flutter in my little girl heart every time he calls me sweetie or tells me i'm beautiful and wonderful and of his desire to hold me in his arms and i smile my little girl smile when the tenderness in his gaze gets to me like it does every single time so if this little girl love really is simply a little girl dream well i don't want to know 12.24.99 "Major boredom and General apathy singing, whatever and ever... amen" ~Ben Folds Five ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Dec 1999 03:10:50 GMT From: "~* cymbaline *~" Subject: ET: A man I met yesterday Hi everyone, First let me start off telling a story the pastor's wife at my church told about 3 weeks ago. Her name is Kim. Well, Kim was at Wal-Mart waiting in line at the customer service desk. It was busy, and there was an elderly man behind her who was bringing something for an exchange. He had already been to the service desk, but just came back with the item he wanted to replace his return with. Kim said to the man, "Why don't you go ahead up there? You've already been here, you shouldn't have to wait in line again for that." He said "Oh, I don't mind. I'm in no rush." Kim and the man got to talking. The man then pointed to an elderly lady sitting on a bench. "See that sweet lady over there? That's my sweetheart. We've been married for 55 years. She had a stroke a couple of years ago, and she can't talk anymore." The man said how they used to go to the church down the road, but since she had the stroke they don't go anymore. He stays home and takes care of her. He said "I don't go to church, but I know that God's purpose for me in life is to take care of my sweetheart." When Kim told us that story at church, there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Everyone was touched. Yesterday, while working, I got the pleasure to meet that man. He came through my line with his wife, and while I was ringing up the groceries, the lady was picking stuff up and handing it to me. She wasn't saying anything. The man said "Are you helping the young lady?" She smiled, and seemed to be enjoying herself. The man then said to me, "That's my sweetheart. We've been married for 55 years..." before he was even finished telling me about her, I knew he was the man from Kim's story. "She had a stroke a few years ago, and she can't talk anymore. So now she makes me do everything. Isn't that right Sweety?" And the lady smiled. I wished them a Merry Christmas, and after they walked away, I had tears in my eyes. I don't know if I ever saw a love that great before my eyes. That man had the greatest love for his wife, even though they haven't been able to converse in years. Merry Christmas, Kelly ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 25 Dec 1999 03:34:47 GMT From: "~* cymbaline *~" Subject: ET: alone with everybody I'd like to share this poem. I didn't write it, Charles Bukowsy did. It's from the book "Love is a Dog From Hell" I've had this book for 2 years but never really read it much until last night. Peace, Kelly "alone with everybody" the flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and the men drink too much and nobody finds the one but they keep looking crawling in and out of beds. flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh. there's no chance at all: we are all trapped by a singular fate. nobody ever finds the one. the city dumps fill the junkyards fill the madhouses fill the hospitals fill the graveyards fill nothing else fills. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V2 #366 **********************************
