Vote, vote, vote! @~Everyday Angels~@, Hi! How are you all doing? I am okay. I am posting because I want to let everyone know that you should go to www.mtv.com and on the top there will be something that says MTV Online. Below that click "shows". Then look at the left hand side of your screen. It lists the shows on MTV. Click all the way down and you will find Total Request Live (Alphabetical order Angels :-). It will, of course, take you to Total Request Live. Under that it has a paragraph saying "Play My Song". In the paragraph it has something you can click that says "Play My Song" in white. Then it will take you to a whole bunch of songs that you can choose from to vote for. You know where to go, right?!! To J with Jewel's "Down So Long". Click it of course than go to the blank box with "Send my Comments" and fill it in with why you want to pick that video. Then of course fill your name and choose your state than submit. The reason why I am telling you to do this is because for those who don't know "Total Request Live" is a show on MTV that is on in the afternoon from 3:30PM-4:30PM and it shows the ten most requested songs. You can either request on-line or request through a telephone number that you call from 3:00PM to 3:30PM. I am not sure what the telephone number is. Whoever knows please post it to the list. But even so, I suggest voting on-line because I have tried numerous times to call at 3:00PM to 3:30PM and of course I got the busy signal. So, even if you don't get MTV I really, really, really, would appreciate you going to www.mtv.com and voting for Jewel's "Down So Long" video. I think that "Down So Long" hasn't gotten played enough and for such a great song it deserves to be played and to be well known as a "Jewel song". So, when you get done reading my post please vote a couple times. You can vote as much as you want. I have already voted numerous times. Come on angels, we can make this happen!! Please do so! We can get Jewel on this show. All it will take is a little effort but COME ON we are EDA's!! :-) So, in conclusion, vote a little (or a lot perhaps) each day! I will tell you if it gets on Total Request Live and I will keep on you about voting so VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. Your Angel who is in need of your fingers for voting on-line or calling, @~Rachel~@ The Night Angel with Silver Wings and a Golden Harp P.S. You can also watch Total Request weel-days at 9:00PM to 10:00PM. P.P.S. Total Request Live is a weekday show but you can vote every day *hint, hint*! :-) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1999 22:00:03 -0600 From: Fervent Spirit Subject: ET: Calling all webmasters Hello Angels, I'm looking for a webmaster computer nerd that happens to have a bot. A bot which can do voting online, so i can cheat and get Jewel on the countdown! Gracias! "Scott S." -Big Sexy Angel "LOVE HURTS! BUT IT'S WORTH IT!"

Now now did you actually expect my post to have anything to do with my subject? Silly you! For the sake of courtesy, I suppose that I will include the lyrics to that Pumpkins song...so for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting me (no, I'm not actually this arrogant) you can scroll to the bottom of my post :) It's 10:23 pm...on a Good Friday that I feel I did great justice in wasting away... played some ole school ball (It's taken me 4 years, but I can finally dunk on that god forsaken hoop), I grabbed some grub from Taco Bell, and I even managed to sneak some tunes...and toons...into my day. I'm glad we didn't have school :) Getting to the point (I think I could ramble on forever, but that's what my friends are for)...tonight, I feel compeled...to respond, however poetically that I can, to a situation and a post...of a .friend of mine...she knows who she is. (Foreword --or Preamble) I'll admit, I never really got you. I guess that's because I was too busy flirting around (with danger of course), than to ever get to really know you. I guess that flirting was always just more fun when it came to you.. dont get me wrong..that's not an insult, just another one of my ...faults for a while, you were no where to be found -or I wasn't looking hard enough -or I didn't want to find you you'd pop up sometimes outta nowhere and I'd always realize what I'd been missing..... It's been a while since you've been around here I guess I kinda hope that you'll come around again. (Unsent Letters, better late than never) I am sitting here friday night 112 am couldnt draw myself into sleep so I find myself reading poems - -of yours, about us Kind of ironic what happened next - -jewel came on over the radio i cant help but thinking that "you were meant for me" or wondering who will save _my_ soul maybe I'm just making love to wall the best lines were never out of any song on any radio they were the ones we shared the ones we lived its you I love (in reply to my self) beware the thoughts that come in the dark; they venture out unbridled by conscience they are your dreams manifested three fold into the sin of reality into your life Can I steal the lines of your poetry wrap them around my heart and hang myself? ..at least there'd be no looking back I guess you never really know what you have until it really is gone there are things I miss - -the dreams we shared, the ones that have been forgotten, lost between email aliases and endless text... all of our dreams gone - -mark me- tomorrow will take me away find me in your arms together forever no regrets :another dream another thought that came in the dark hear it fear it (Excuses) A man doesn't know what Love is until he's lost it time and time again you weren't first I hope not the last but you were the one [you] changed things for me make me miss what I have we've paid our does patiently waited to collect but love went bankrupt and there's nothing left for us to have, except each other always 'each other' (I) Sleep pulls at me tugs at me wills me to bed lines on paper fade away wordsruntogether pen falls from hand my head comes to rest- atop a million words (unsent letters and poetry) music fades action stops and somehow I always end up with a pillow and something coveringme I'd like to believe that it was you - -that you finally made it all the way here visited the endless fields walked their paths I'm sorry that I wasn't awake enough to join you. (II) Somehow 10 o'clock turned into 2 am and the late late show turned into a blank screen reflecting the sunrise outside funny how things are really, or funny how things have changed it used to take me a week to squeeze out a letter I remember those days, rolling your letters around for as long as it took, until it all came together as an I love you All I find myself doing anymore is checking my mail 4 yimes a day always looking for your name in between bogus advertisements... I need to see your name show up one more time calling out to me to come home to come back to you The poetry isn't helping anymore - -all yours does is make me see something else I did wrong, and all mine does is remember the good times, or pretend what could have been - --I dont know if I've posted this b4, but even if I have, read it again, I didn't write it, and that makes it worth reading... Goodbye note to Debbie Fuller: Pass it On When we passed those notes to each other and laughed behind Miss Jago's back in Hamilton School, we were flirting with real danger. The secret insults and attonement that passed for our friendship seemed effortless in cursive, too easily could have bcome a part of our Permanent Record. Those days we got away with more than we ever imagined, so many ways of saying i'm sorry again, I won't do it anymore, and I promise not to get you into trouble from now on. As if we could help ourselves. If I've named names under pressure in my life since then in the late-night interrogation rooms of the heart, if I've had to write out one more doctored confession, give up on maintaing my innocence one more night and your name is the one I keep coming back to, I'll admit it: you're the alibi I've needed, the only one who can place me miles and years away from the dried blood, the chalk outline of childhood on the sidewalk. Otherwise I'm looking at some serious hard time, and you know I'll be taking you with me. Say I fell hard for those dirty blonde bangs, those doleful eyes, those corduroy skirts, and OK, finally, even the way you moved to Basking Ridge, New Jersey, that December of '65 without breathing a word to anyone, not even to me in the holiday assembly when I was the top of the wobbling human christmas tree and you placed that cardboard star on my head with a kiss we never practiced in rehearsal. How could you know what you were lighting up forever, improvising one last piece of business that was nowhere in the script? Maybe no one told you either, or you didn't know how to say it. Maybe that day was your rendition of uncanny grace under pressure. I was ten and thought I knew everything I could possibly want for Christmas for the rest of my life. I wanted you earlier in the alphabet, or taller, depending on any given day's meticulous instructions for lining up on our way to whatever came next. My faintest hope was always rained-out gym, huddled inside, boy-girl-boy- girl for almost an hour, no questions asked. God, I wanted you to realize how much it mattered too. Those were the days before love knew its own name, almost before hormones in their nervous skirmishes at the borders of wherever we were. I dont know why, after so many years of everything I've put you through in words-silent partner in a thousand schemes, or worse, my unwitting accomplice- you still keep coming back to me. As if it's been in your power to refuse, as if you've had anything to say. I'll confess again: I've used you, but I guess I'd like to think that I haven't used you up completely. So here's my promise at long last: you won't have to get dressed on short notice, hurry out of a house full of people who love you more for whatever you've become. No more questions of what do I wear in this poem, what can he possibly want from me now? I'll leave you alone to look me up in your own quiet version of time. And people who insist on reading this before it gets to you can sigh and shake thier heads if they want to, as long as they keep it moving while the world drones on through its baffling arithmetic, geography without end, through its far-flung chalky sense of history while the radiators hiss and the clock lops off another minutes you're too far away to whisper all this in your ear. As long as they know this one's for Debbie Fuller, for old times' sake, for all the good it does, from the kid still making any promise he can get away with: it wont happen again, I swear, or your name's not Debbie Fuller, Debbie Fuller, it wont ever happen again. _____ James ((the lyrics I promised)) time is never time at all you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth and our lives are forever changed we will never be the same the more you change the less you feel believe, believe in me, believe that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain we're not the same, we're different tonight tonight, so bright tonight and you know you're never sure but you're sure you could be right if you held yourself up to the light and the embers never fade in your city by the lake the place where you were born believe, believe in me, believe in the resolute urgency of now and if you believe there's not a chance tonight tonight, so bright tonight we'll crucify the insincere tonight we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight we'll find a way to offer up the night tonight the indescribable moments of your life tonight the impossible is possible tonight believe in me as i believe in you, tonight Tonite Reprise And the embers never fade in my city by the lake The place where i was born As the wind-up toys wind down Muffling the sound of a life hidden underground Believe, believe in me, believe That you can change, that you're not stuck in vain We're not the same we're different tonite We'll crucify the insincere tonite We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonite The impossible is possible tonite Believe in me like i believe in you tonite happy easter everyone ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
