Who's next? *raises hand* me, me, me! okay, okay so i wasn't actually *next* but i'm delurking here so cut me some slack, k? ;o) anyway, my name is rachel and i'm 20. i'm addicted to cds, email, and books, though homework takes up most of my time so i don't get much time to do the fun stuff anymore (yep, i'm one of those college students who actually studies - how boring, eh?). ;o) i joined the list months ago because i missed the non-jewel content on the regular list, then i got really behind on digests here so i kept missing conversations as they actually happened (NOT a good way to join in the discussion, lol) and never got around to actually posting. but here i am, and i don't write poetry but i decided i'd share my favorite poem as i haven't seen it posted before and i think you'll like it. enjoy! :o) "Comes the Dawn" by Virginia Shopstall After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn't mean possession and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child. And you learn to build your roads today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have ways of falling down in mid-flight. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth and you learn and you learn... - -Rachel :o) - -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- "now you've cut out the flute . from the throat of the loon . at least when you cry now . he can't even hear you" -Tori Amos - -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 01:22:20 -0400 From: "The Quiet Angel" Subject: Re: ET: Delurking - -----Original Message----- From: Angeljlb96@aol.com Date: Sunday, September 20, 1998 11:22 PM > ><< Oh wait, AND I'm in the middle of trying to get enough courage to tell my >GF it's over.

Now, for those of you who stopped lurking in order to introduce yourselves... please don't fade back into obscurity. The conversations are a lot more interesting when there's a bunch of people willing to take part in them.

But I'll give it the ol' college try. My first gathering was um, over a year ago (after temporarily overcoming my shyness). It was called Chelstock, in honor of EDA Chelsea visiting NYC (from CO) to celebrate her bday. A small gathering called Kinneyfest (a small tour of the city with a Sleater-Kinney performance in the middle) Then there was Bearsville '97 (which I unofficially rename Sexville, and where I first met mystery EDA) NOTE: The two statements within the parenthesis are unrelated. I am virginal and I'd like to stay that way. No, wait, scratch that last half. Jones Beach to see Jewel :o) Tara MacLean in the city (EDAs from everywhere) then Tara again I believe (except with a smaller EDA turnout) A bunch of visits (5 in total, I think) to the Mercury Lounge to hear Steve P, from outside (I'm underage). Java Hut (Steve P) in NJ Food Drive in NJ Bearsville '98 grrr... memory seems to be failing me. But that's enough to keep you entertained (or make you uninterested).
