[Reecord2@aol.com] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 14:31:13 EDT From: Jamieangel1@aol.com Subject: ET: hey guys Hello everyone, At Kerry's request, I've come to write, engage in conversations, and send poetry of sorrow and happiness, because I have not abandoned this list. =) Um, I have not read Sex and Power, but I'll look into it. I'm currently reading The Shipping News by Annie Proulx and it really sucks so far, which is sad because I have to read it for a Short Stories and Novels class, and it's going to be made into a movie with Kevin Spacey, Julliane Moore, Cate Blanchett, and Judi Dench, so I really want it to be good. I'll let you guys know if it gets any better. Oh, I also just read High Fidelity by Nick Hornby, which was awesome, and I've been doing top 5 lists all over the place, so if you guys would be so kind as to send me your top favorite recording artists, movies, and books along with your first and last name, I'd really appreciate it. I saw Bridget Jones' Diary the other day and it was really cute and clever, but now my thoughts are all british, so that's kinda screwing me up. Um, also, if you have a chance to pick up Ani Difranco's new double album called "Revelling and Reckoning," get your ass out there and do it. I've especially fallen in love with a song on Reckoning called "Grey." (Which reminds me, I never made you listen to it, Jon...) My favorite part of it... You walk through my walls like a ghost on tv you penetrate me And my little pink heart is on it's little brown raft floating out to sea but what can I say but I'm wired this way and you're wired to me and what can I do but wallow in you unintentionally *sigh* Some other's that stand out are 'Garden of Simple,' 'School Night', 'Heartbreak Even' and 'Subdivision'...so go get it now. I also recommend Ben Harper's new double live album 'Live From Mars'...it's really awesome (thank you, Jonny...). Hmmmm....I've started babbling, I don't think I can stop now. So I've just recently returned from a road trip with my friend Laura in which I drove through Tulsa, OK to see my family and then on to see my dear friend Jon Hamilton (jonboy911@aol.com) in Sante Fe, NM...(I"m in New Orleans for those who don't know me at all). It was awesome, and now I hate my home cuz i'm road trip crazy right now. I just wanna keep driving. Guess I should probably finish this semester and get my car first though... Anyway, I wrote a little something on the ride back home...here it is. When the Sight of Road Kill Becomes all too Familiar... ...and an overweight bearded man in a tweed hat and denim overalls walks into a dairy queen and orders, "2 slaw dogs and a diet coke, please" in a thick country accent, one might be inclined to think they're in the middle of nowhere. But it's the simple pleasantries exchanged by the townsfolk, and the vibrance of the purples, reds and yellows of the hills, and seeing llamas on 3rd street in Random City, OK that give you a sense of perspective. You're definitely somewhere. Somewhere you may have passed through once or twice when you were too young to appreciate it... and your parents wouldn't accept that you just wanted to go to Disneyland. And, of course, Disneyland's still fun... but it can never compare to this feeling. This feeling of not knowing where you're gonna end up next, and kinda hoping it's not where you planned... This feeling that you belong to something you can't define... something that encompasses much more than all you know... something that disappears upon returning to suburban America. Hope you guys like it...talk to you soon...I mean it...people talk! Naomi, Sam, Doc, Kevin, Jon, Seth, Lara (??????), I know you're all lurking somewhere...

I couldn't ever take myself high enough up so I could hold my head up again. I just walked around in circles in the same old parking lots, I knew that no one cared, because they all let me go without ever saying a word. It was okay though because I was pretty sure that I didn't need to world, and in thinking that I was totally wrong. So now its time that I need something and I cant have anything I want because no one knows who I really am, and even the people that know what I am really thinking aren't the least bit real. Here I am following my shadow because the parking lot got ripped apart;the things that would usually bring me joy are just digging me into a deeper and deeper hole. They won't let me alone with all of the things that are in my head and I don't want to talk about them. All that matters is that's what they want at the moment and that's all that they could ever care about. I feel sorry for them because no one ever taught them any different. Don't avoid the phone calls anymore, they just keep coming coming coming.. I really wanted to get a hold of you; I couldn't get a hold of myself. They tell me I use everything that I have in a perfectly wrong way ~~ I'm too hollow to tell you all the secrets that you never knew about me because now my heart is shrinking I think it has something to do with the fact that I don't love myself don't really understand why though things have always been that way one stepping stone on top of the other just leading me downward you didn't have the touch that could heal my wounds and you didn't have the words that could stop me from rubbing salt into them to make them worse. I can't make it to the other side of the fence I don't know who I am now or who I could be in a minute from now I'm tired of pretending to be what I always wanted and could never be I wont forget what the mirror reflect but I want to Can always hear the phone ringing through this song though it isn't ringing just the music playing over in my head with notes that you can't hear My cello sings harmonies that are invisible to you my heart screams a melody that no one could cure ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 22:53:36 EDT From: Reecord2@aol.com Subject: ET: Where isss everybooody? WELL, I just got back from a U2 concert (I know this is terribly non-related to anything relevant to this list!) And it was AMWAZING!!!! And I got to meet some of the band members!! Ahh, too much to handle! Anyway that's where I'VE been! ~~Richard ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V4 #61 *********************************
