Survey Update - Reply Liz, Your survey is a great idea! However, it's kind of difficult to name a CD that you haven't heard. "A Crisis Of Innocence" or "The Absence Of Fear" are the ones I like best, but if I heard the songs, I might be inclined to choose "Goldfish Don't Bounce". The second title, "Fish Don't Know They're Short, They Just Feel Sideways" doesn't do anything for me, no matter what kind of fishy songs might be on the album... =) Thanks for giving us something to do, Liz... - -Blaine ------------------------------ From: agentorange2@juno.com (Rusty M Shelby) Date: Tue, 01 Oct 1996 12:10:48 EDT Subject: VH-1 Crossroads cd Jewel's track on the cd is "Foolish Games" recorded live in their studio. ------------------------------ From: Chopped Liver Date: Tue, 1 Oct 1996 10:37:56 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Re: REQ: Satellite Lyrics (NJC) On Tue, 1 Oct 1996 SkinnyPete@aol.com wrote: > > P.S.

A Mother's Song I sit holding my child. The couple is there. They smile nervously. Their faces trying not to be anxious; showing it more plainly for the effort. A mixture of resentment and gratitude wells up inside me. I don't try to hide it. His words are too quick, hers irritatingly slow. But theirs are good words, and their hearts are good. I relax a little and feel the baby stretch in my arms. His face is smooth now; not so blotchy as it was a week ago. Has it been only a week? It seems like a lifetime. It is a lifetime for my child and me. When he was born I didn't mind the pain. That was expected. But the pain in my heart was a surprise. They cut his cord and dried him. I reached for him, tears running into the sweat on my face. 'Let me hold him, my baby.' They brought him to my breast. Still cheesy and red, he suckled. So strong, this live little boy on my chest. The people speak again; words, promises, assurances. The time is getting close. I listen, but I dare not take my eyes from my son. I respond, but concentrate on the warmth of his body, his aroma. The people produce papers that I sign. His little fingers, his rose-petal lips, so perfect. A sudden silence startles me. I raise my head. Everyone in the room is looking at me. Pitying eyes, anxious eyes, hungry eyes. 'Is it time?', my voice quivers. I know the answer. The couple stand at the other side of the table. She reaches out her hands, calmly, patiently, waiting for them to be filled. I too stand and stretch my full arms forward. They tremble and ache, knowing they will soon be empty. Then they are. The couple comes together to hold the child between them. Tears fill her eyes, he beams and coos. ('No', I scream, 'you can't have him.') But my lips don't move. ('He's mine. I want him back.') But only my eyes are pleading. ('He's mine. I conceived him. I carried him. I bore him. I nursed him.') They are turning now, ready to go. The man gathers the baby things they have brought. My silent words have no effect. She bends to kiss my baby. (My heart bursts from my chest and falls limp and bleeding on the table between us. 'My God!', I cry, 'don't you see my heart lying their like some lifeless little animal you have just crushed? Please, take my arms, my legs, anything. But leave me my baby!') Silently, slowly, I lower my still outstretched arms. The man and woman have their coats on now, absorbed in the sight, sound and smell of their new child. They go out the door. I see them outside through the venetian blinds. I sit, finally. (Then my desperation propels me after them. I fall down at their feet. I beg, 'Please, please give him back.' I cling to their ankles, tear at their clothing, crawl after them on bleeding knees.) And I still sit silently, watching through the window. Then he is gone. With them.. My baby and his new parents. After a few minutes I let out the breath I've been holding since I got pregnant, turn my head and whisper, 'Mother?' ------------------------------ From: Angelica Date: Tue, 1 Oct 1996 15:04:14 -0400 Subject: Sentences that stop me like a brick wall Hi. I wrote a poem -- I haven't done that in a while so I thought I'd share it with all of you -- It has *SLIGHT* Jewel content in it. :) - -just connect- September 30, 1996 I wish that you knew me Everything about me I wish you knew the little kid Doing nothing but play .....had always been insanely independent Then you'd know my struggle (or inability) to ....."just connect"... I wish you knew why the most beautiful of things can make me cry Like Jewel's voice Or your smile But if you knew me you'd know I haven't cried since that night When I suddenly missed my father After 14 years of death that separated us But if you REALLY knew me you'd know that was a lie And that I cry all the time When no one is watching See, even now you already know something about me that no one else does.... "Just connect" And I say I can't I wish I knew you... All of you Or as much as you want me to see I wish I could watch you dance And hear the things you are passionate about Or just sit with you in a room in the peacefulness of silence That, to me, brings a real sense of beauty... I wish I could give you a view But even just the very thought of you Frightens me To "just connect" It will frighten me that after a while of knowing you I will not have the choice To stay or to walk away But if you really knew me it wouldn't make a difference Because you'd know that ultimately I will let you in Or at least leave the door open for you Because my walls and my fences are weak only to Those with beautiful souls And that is the one thing I know of you So even if my contradictions keep me undecided And my moods keep me from consistency From feeling too much to feeling nothing at all And my frivolousness makes it easy for me to walk away.... I will not let these things keep you from me Nor will I let my defenses keep me from you. Thanks for listening -- those of you that did. :) Angelica I just want a little passion To hold me in the dark I know I've got some magic Buried deep in my heart, yeah - -Tori Amos You can say it one more time What you don't like Then have a seat while I Take to the sky ------------------------------ From: Sinjin@ecn.com Date: Tue, 01 Oct 1996 12:17:00 -0700 Subject: Re: surfing m95stal@mtek.chalmers.se wrote: > > Furthermore, is she really into surfing?

There are a lot of reasons why this would be helpful. One is that it would help new EDA's find other EDA's at concerts. Telling someone what you'll be wearing, etc. is helpful, but that description could fit many different people. However, a mental image of one's face along with clothing descriptions would help ten fold. Mental imagery is the best form of recognition. There's no reason to be shy. We're all friends here, aren't we? There are two ways you can get your picture in the yearbook: 1) Various film developers are starting to make available Pictures on Disk, which means that for a small fee, they can develop your rolls of film in digital form and put them on a diskette in addition to/in place of your regular prints. When you recieve the diskette, the pictures will be in some strange format, but they should come with a viewer that will let you save them as PICT, JPEG or GIF. In order for them to work on the web, they must be in either JPEG or GIF format. I recommend JPEG, because it's generally smaller in size. Then they must be UUEncoded and sent to Gerrit. (if anyone needs more specific details on this, e-mail me...) Or, 2) Gerrit has a scanner and he'd just *love* to scan your pictures in! E-mail Gerrit privately and he will give you the address to send them to. Whaddya say? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to recognize your fellow EDA's without having to go through that awkward, "Uh, what's yor name? I'm Bob." scenario? Of course, this is completely voluntary. You don't have to participate if you don't want to. - -Blaine "just tryin' to make a difference" Sanders ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V1 #641 ***************************
