I have something I wanted to post about that made me absolutely sick. I work at a music store in Atlanta and the other day a guy asked if he could see the Billboard top 200. So. I showed him and the first thing out of his mouth was "Jewel...trailer park trash. You know she likes to record her songs in public restrooms. I can't believe she's so big now." TRAILER PARK TRASH? Our angel? Anyways, after getting totally queasy and almost losing what ever it was I had for lunch I opened my mouth. (Big Mistake...customer is always right....) I said, "You know why she did that don't you" (ignoring the fact that it was just the WWSYS vid that was done in the bathroom...I didn't want to try to explain what wasn't relevant) Then I went on to explain about living in her car, cutting down on costs, and doing something that fills you with passion and he looked absolutely stunned. He said quietly, "That changes my whole perspective on her." I was so scared that I could've died. I realized after what I said that I could've lost my job over that. It just hurt too much to hear that and not set the record straight. Well, take care angels. I hope that this post wasn't too irrelevant.

Miles" Subject: njc: part 2 (The Campbell Inn) When we arrived at Casa de Campbell, the first thing that was on = everyone's mind was food. So, we all decided to order pizza. Tammy = asked me to make the call to Domino's (I guess all those times ordering = pizza in college paid off!). We opted for the pick-up since it was = cheaper than delivery. So, Tegan and I set off for pizza and beer. One = thing I have to say is, whoever designed New Jersey roads must have been = extremely drunk at the time - no left hand turns allowed. Tegan and I = got our beer and then headed for Domino's. Little did we know that it = was the wrong one!!! So, we called Tammy (thank God for cellular = phones) to get directions to the right one. Thank you Tammy for taking = us there!! So, we finally got back to Tammy's and stuffed our faces (hope everyone = enjoyed the cookies!!!!). Thanks Tegan for bringing your Melissa = Etheridge pics. :) The people who stayed at the park then started = arriving one by one. And, I discovered that there were three Tom's = there (Tom O'Brien and Mitch (the collective Tom #1), Tom Proven, and = myself)!!! Way cool!! Once everyone was there, we had to order more pizza (we decided on the = delivery option this time). We discussed Stephanie's plan for a = National Endowment for the Arts benefit concert. Keep at it Steph, it's = a great plan!!!! We were also treated to some incredible poetry reading = by Stephanie (thanks again for reading Lullabye, my favorite). Then = came the Hot Dog Fest video (so, you guys did find out how to work the = vcr!). I don't remember much about the rest of the night 'cause I was = dozing on and off. I think I finally crashed for good sometime around 3 = a.m. I know I took someone's spot on the floor, but I forget who's (I'm = sorry!!). The next morning, we headed to IHOP for breakfast. I went with Rob and = Jared to pick up tickets for the Jewel show at Homdel in August. = Needless to say, the tix didn't go on sale until noon, so we made the = trip for nothing (Thanks Rob for picking them up later). So, we headed = to IHOP. I had the pleasure of experiencing Erica and her pool of = blueberry syrup!!! After IHOP, we headed back to Tammy and Rob's to pack everything up and = head back to PA. I know I left a ton of stuff out, I apologize for = that. So much happened this past weekend that I think if I included it = all, my post would be a thousand miles long. Thank you to everyone who = I met this past weekend. You all are incredible!!!!! Thank you so much = for a wonderful time!!!! I love you all and hope to see everyone again = real soon!!!!

Miles" Subject: njc: my great edadventure recap - part 1 (the park) Angels, Wow, what a weekend!! Thank you to all the angels who attended, I met = some very special people this weekend. And a big THANK YOU THANK YOU = THANK YOU to Rob and Tammy for opening up their home to us!!! Ok, here's my version of events, starting with early Saturday morning. = I picked up Stephanie in Lancaster at around 5:30 a.m. We immediately = hit the Turkey Hill (same as Wawa, 7Eleven, for you non-Amish-country = people!) for some caffeine. We then went to York to pick up Josh and = Christina. Thanks Tina for the directions, they were very accurate, as = usual!! After picking them up, we started our 4 1/2 hour journey to NJ = (it should have only taken 2 1/2 hours, but Wal-Mart and McDonalds kinda = got in the way). Anyway, as I said above, we stopped at WalMart to p/u some batteries for = Tina's radio so we could listen to some Angelfood along the way. While = there, we hit McDonalds inside WalMart for some much needed breakfast. = Stephanie got a happy meal toy (Tigger)!!!! When we got out to the car, = I realized I had picked up the wrong size batteries, so I had to run = back inside and exchange them. Ok, we finally got on our way to Great Adventure. We got there at 10:30 = a.m. to find that there were no fellow angels in sight!!! I had called = Tammy along the way and gotten Farr's cell phone number so we could let = them know when we got there. Well, I tried calling 4 times and got his = voice mail each time since he was out of reach of his service. Since I = was calling Oklahome each time, I do not want to see my phone bill next = month!!! :) We finally found everyone about 2 hours later (Thank you Erica, your = yellow hat saved the day!!!!). After introductions (I know I'm going to = forget some of your names), we all boarded the tram to head to the = Safari to begin our search for the elusive blue llama. While there, we = got our share of tigers, lions, elephants (what were those two doing?), = giraffes blocking the road (man are those things tall!!) and, of course, = the monkeys! After getting some lunch (7 bucks for a burger, some fries (hope my = health don't go to hell, well) :), and a coke!!!), we headed to the park = to hit some rides. We decided to go into the Batman stunt show first. = It was a bit cheesy (I think we're all in agreement with that), but fun = anyway. We then got in a very long line for the Batman ride. Thanks to = Ted, a few of us were able to go right on to the ride w/o waiting in = line (Ted, you are the man!!!). I hung back and let others ride since I = had already been on all the rides during a previous trip to GA. We then = (8 of us) all went in to the Mach 1 flight simulator (thanks again to = Ted!), which was quite cool). I got a little sick afterward, so I had = to sit down for a few (no sleep tends to do nasty things to your = system). Thanks Lauren for keeping me company for the few mins. I = needed to recover. :) Farr and Ted tried to shoot each other down in = the flight simulator game they had in the waiting area outside the ride = (Ted, did you find all of your loose change?) At 7, we all met up at the water fountain near the park entrance. A few = of us left for the Campbell Inn, while the rest of the group stayed at = the park.

We ordered 4 pizzas and they were gone in 10 minutes. Everoyne else eventually trickled back in, and we got 6 more pizzas ( they went fast, too ). We then all sat around as Steph proposed a new project for the EDAF, and we had a little moderated meeting. After listening to Dennis babble incessantly for about an hour total, we watched the hot dog fest. It was VERY funny. Unfortunately, I was VERY tired. I finally decided I wasn't going to make it until the end, and I took Mia and searched for somewhere to sleep. We found an empty bedroom with just Mitch in it, So Mia and I crashed. Paul & Tom O'Brien came in about 10 minutes later, and we all squished to make room. ZZzzzzZZZZzzzzz. SUNDAY I woke up at 8:30, and we were all supposed to be at IHOP at 9. We finally moade it to IHOP by 9:30 ( an amazing feat ), but they had borken down our reserved table for 30 at 9, so we all were separate. I ate with Mia, Gian, and Chris . We tried out the demonic strawberry syrup that attacked Mia's pancakes and gulped down as much coffee as possible. We then went out to the parking lot to wait for everyone else. Mia's group left ( awwww ) and I got into the SuperTruck ( tm ) and drove back "home". The paintball group took a while to get together. We ended up taking a very roundabout way to the paintball place, and after getting all our fatiugues, guns, masks and pellets, it was around 2. The first game we did, time ran out. I stayed with Ted near the flag, and entertained myself by shooting trees. The next game, I moved up a little bit to see if I could see what was going on. I saw someone coming towards me , and after trading shots at eachother , I ran behind a green piece of fabric . "Where'd you go ?" he yelled, and as he came next to me, I shot him. It was kind of close range ( I'm sorry !) but I didn't think he'd surrender :). The game ended right as Chris Moynihan had a direct shot from behind to kill me. The next game I was on the other side of the field, and even though I was hiding, my gun got shot. The NEXT game, Dennis had the bright idea of just letting everyone run up and be offense, with no defense. I'd been defense the whole time, so this didn't work well in my brain. I got a little ways from the flag and hid in a bunker. Two guys on the other team set up directly across from me, and we started trading shots. I looke to my left, and the big guy in the bright green suit ( not one of us ) was getting close to the flag, so I started shooting at him. I was wondering why he wasn't shooting towards me much until I heard Chris behind me saying "surrender". They were standing behind me ! Ugh. Apparently we thought we had lost, and green man had the flag, but he hadn't brought it over to the other side. Dennis could have shot him, but we were yelling Game Over, so he didn't. We recruited the two guys who joined us with the semi automatics and offered them rides home. We were taking pictures in the parking lot when one guy started yelling "GUYS. BARREL. PLUGS." We had the plugs out for pictures. Dave left, Pauls' car left, and the SuperTruck( tm ) and Eric's car went bck "home". On the way there I figured out a much shorter route, and instead of following us, Eric decided to go the usual way. We got home about 10 minutes before him :). So, it ended up being just a few of us- Tammy & Rob, Eric & Laura, Ted and Erica and I , Chris & Dennis, and Farr & Gianny. We all got some GREAT chinese food and had lots of fun just sitting around talking. Around 7:30 Ted announced we were leaving, and we proceeded to spend about a hour taking final pictures and talking . We all tried to pile on the couch in the living room, and broke it- literally. We bent the frame. Ted got some interesting pictures of us trying to get un-piled up- Eric's leg was stuck! We went into the other room and did it again, then took some pictures on the staircase with Dennis's 3D camera. Laura and Eric left, and Erica, Ted and I finally rolled away at 8:30. Ted & I had a great conversation all the way home. Erica mostly slept until we got gas and watched the gas pumps dance. We dropped Erica off, then eventually dropped me off. Ted sent me mail letting me know he got home OK, and it was all over. I'm suddenly tired again from writing all of that... I need more sleep :).

This past weekend was better than most of my dreams and really one of, if not THE, most incredible weekend of my life. Where the bloody hell do I start? I think I am going to start by telling y'all about my wacky and looney ride to Great Adventure, which may explain to the people I met at GA why I was so looney and energetic and bouncing off the walls. OK, Tom who I consider one of my most favourite friends in the whole wide world (I have only known him for like 2 or 3 weeks now but we know each other so damn intensely well), came to pick me up at the wonderful and *HAPPY* time at 5:30 in the morning. We moved the remains of my dorm room into his car, I bopped him with Froggy (tm), and we proceeded to a carry out for CAFFEINE. (Tom, should I perhaps get a little coffee with my sugar?) And then it was off to York COunty to pick up Christina and Josh. When we got to Tina's apartment, she was excited to show us her cute little dead snake. It's so itty bitty you would swear it was a piece of jewelry. And Josh was cool...but pretty quiet. We shoved everything into the car and proceeded to Wal-Mart. I don't think the Lancaster Wal-Mart will ever be the same, though it is probably the coolest store...I mean, it has a full grocery store, a department store, a travel agency, a bank, a McDs, and God knows what else. I knew I needed sugar, so I bought a bag of Smarties and embarrased Tom by buying a Happy Meal toy from McDs. I also bought Mentos, just so I could be cool and hold out my thingy of Mentos-the Freshmaker if a need arose. We stuck batteries in TIna's stereo and were singing Jewel songs the whole ride down. Josh got more and more psyched, I think...seemed to come out of his shell, tho with Tom, me, and Tina in the same car it's hard to stay IN that shell. ;) We made pit stops along the way, and Tina and I got mistaken for two high school students on a class trip in the bathroom. It was so funny. (Tina: "We go to college. THere are no class trips in college.") FInally, we arrived. 10:30/10:45 or so, and I was nervous as all hell. All I knew was that Tammy had henna-red hair and that Pudini honey had her yellow hat (todayu I am wearing a yellow t-shirt in her honour actually) and a black trench coat (does she EVER take that off? ;) We stood there till a bit after noon looking for all the yellow hats we oculd spot. I periodically screamed out "Rob-Tammy-Pudini" and "Harris Brothers". I got ridiculed by the park-goers (tho I could EASILY ridicule them for wearing platform shoes and trendy clothes to a place where you run around, get soaking wet on water rides, and generally would feel uncomfortable in platform shoes and trendy clothes), and finally I spotted THE yellow hat. And we met Pudini and Dennis and a couple other people who took us, sans Dennis, to the rest of the gang. I think I spent the next 20 minutes saying "Wait..what's your name again? Oh, which nick are you on IRC? Wait...I thought you were Michelle...oh...there isn't a Michelle? OK" Then somehow people found out that I get ticklish. People began to poke me and poke the air (cuz that triggers the laughing you know) incessantly. Then I offered Smarties to people, and by then I had SUCH a sugar high. I tried to toss the rolls of Smarties to people BUT I um can not throw for the LIFE of me. So I basically ended up pelting people. We have all heard the details in other posts about the safari, so I will say very little about it, BUT...I am still convinced that Dennis should write a screenplay for a movie of bamboon hijackers. And there was no blue llama or however you bloody spell that nonexistent animal. Then came the park. David and I had fun making fun of the Batman Stunt show...talk about LAME LAME LAME!!! Then we sort of split up, I opted to play games with Teagan and Thirza and Tina, and we had fun. Teagan even won a cool jester's hat and a stuffed basketball. ha ha ha Then Thirza and I waited on line for a cheesy roller coaster for an hour and a half while these two kids were majorly showing their love of PDA (I swear..Great Adventure needs its own hotel for the amount of people who obviously are in need of a room), andthe ride totally sucked. FINALLY we headed back to Camp Campbell. I love their house. I love Tammy and Rob. Tammy and Rob, will you adopt me? Please? Guys, their shower is wonderful. It felt so good (tho it triggered my ticklishness almost RIGHT AWAY). We were all listening to music, ordering pizza, enjoying some refreshing alcohol, talking, bonding, having a neato skeato time. Finally everyone else came home, and all was groovy. Oh, we were also starting to dig into the yummy yummy cookies TOm's fiancee, Vicki, had so awesomely made for us from scratched (I often think VIcki has TOm whipped, but sometimes i wonder...) More people tortured me about my ticklishness. I think I spent most of the weekend LAUGHING and SQUEALING. They would NOT STOP!!! Well, it's funny, I know, but at the time I was laughing so much tears were coming to my eyes and my stomach hurt. Oh well. Then everyone was so kind as to let me read my poetry for them. I read mostly stuff that I have been posting since the middle of February, and wow...people actually listened to me. I get REALLY emotional about my poetry, because everything I write is a piece of my soul. I had wanted to read so much and was really nervous about reading the whole time until I did. I was not sure if anyone would want to hear it, and I just wanted to share my soul with my fellow EDAs who I love so much, who have become my soul's family, and who are pieces of me. Tears were flooding my eyes and at points ran down my face. I was just so surprised that people liked hearing what I had to share with them. Wow. And we had an EDAF meeting. It was cool, but like Thirza said in a post, whenever Dennis says he is going to be brief, he runs his mouth forever. For him 45 or 50 minutes is brief. BUt at least all he had to say was good and relevant and important to listen to. Then came bonding over RUgburns footage fro HotDog fest. Oh, and did I tell you that the whole time people were takingturns checking email and stuff like that? Hee hee hee...it was weird...Talking on IRC to EDAs *NOT* at Great EDAdventure while I *WAS* there at Camp Campbell. It was a weekend of like totally communal living. People brought sleeping bags and blankets and stuff, but it did not really matter whose you used or whatever...it was all in the same house, big deal. It was really great. I loved it. Then came IHOP the next morning. Mia and Rachel would not let me have a second where I was not ticklish and poked and stuff from across the restaurant. And the waitresses there are not happy about giving people extra gravy for their biscuits, becuase Lauren had to ask like five trillion times for gravy before finally she was able to get some. Then came, for me, GOodbye time. Tears were filling my eyes. How could I say goodbye to people who I love so dearly? I was completely overwhelmed. At one point, Farr said to me that he was PROUD of me for the poetry I write. Farr, you have no idea how much that meant to me. Last night I had tears in my eyes constantly. No one has ever told me they were PROUD of me before. Other people in my life have not been as supportive of me and what is important to me and the contents of my soul, but the EDAs...wow...you guys are too incredible...I still feel like this whole weekend was a dream of sorts. But I am blessed enough to know that it wasn't. Gian is the biggest sweetheart. Such a warm person, gives nice comforting friendly soft hugs. Gianny honey, I really adore you. Always keep your sweetness and never hide the stars in your eyes. You will go far. Really really far. I love you! Dave gives the bestest bestest bestest hugs and anytime you want! Hew is always like "aww you need a hug" or "aww give me a hug." Dave, I really loved getting to know you. I think i got to know you better than most of the EDAs who I got to know so well all weekend. From the first moment I spoke to you you shared your soul and your being with me from the look in your eyes and the warmth in your smile. You really have such beauty inside you. Wall Street needs everything you have to offer. I love you. Thirza is so nice. You're doing good, kid, despite whatever directions your life takes you, remember your smile, and always hold your soul in your hands or in a very readily accessible place, because it's gonna take youreally far. And your poetry is good. You have the seeds. With time please nurture that and let your talents take flight. I love you. Jared, I really really adore you. You are so passionate, and that is really beautiful. YOU are so generous with people and so wonderful to talk to. I am happy that I got a good glimpse of who you are, and in no way are you anything close to your nickname of "Superdeformed." Your passion, energy, and dedication resonates from your every word. Always stay that way. I love you. Dennis, wow, what can I say. YOu are definitely one neato-skeato guy. Thank you so much for everything and for welcoming me so readily. You got spunk, kid. I like that a lot. I really am psyched about having you as a part of my life and getting to know you better. "And this is how you say...in Greek..." Aww, I love you. Tammy and Rob are really incredible. Wow. Your children are so special because you are such wonderful parents. Your love for them just glows. Every parent should be like you. Always keep light of their beauty and your own beauty. Can you adopt me? Your hospitality was incredible. It really was home to me. (Besides, you have WONDERFUL shampagne) I love you two. Rachel you are such a riot. Just remember to stop poking from time to time, eh? ;) hee hee hee You are really going to succeed in life...you got zest. And you are such a soulful person. Wow. "Never was a cornflake girl..." I love you. Lauren...from right away you and I totally hit it off. "Woah-you know Fritz Wenzler." Ha ha ha ha ha. We both go to "walking J Crew catalogues" for college. ;) I am SO PSYCHED for Lillith Fair like you do not know. You totally rock. I love you. Steve, smiles come to my face when I remember you. You are such a gentle, loving, kind person. Never forget that and always persue your dreams. Your smile is kind and your soul is warm. Always use it for the best. Always bring your light to other people's lives. I wish I had a cool pair of bright green sandals like mine to give to you! I love you sweetheart. Chris, Belly rocks. So does Juliana Hatfield. You are really wonderful and so gentle. I love you. I love all of the Toms. THere were THREE there! Woo hoO! San Francisco TOm is really funny. And Tom Miles, aka Frat-boy Tom, aka Arborman, is one of the coolest people around. He and I get really silly together, and I consider him one of my closest friends. =) =) =) I can not wait for Lillith Fair! I love you, Toms. Mia...what can I say? You are so kind and so friendly. I am happy that I met you. Next time I go to Ohio to visit relatives we'll hafta get together or something. Burkeman...you are so wonderful. Pretty funny, and a good guitar player person. I had fun hanging out with you. You are so sweet and so kind and gentle and warm. Never forget that. Never ever ever ever ever ever. Next time I am in Toledo I shall look you up. =) I love you. Pudini, what can I say. You are great...nice and silly...pudding obsessed...and very generous with your pudding. The only person I know who would say that a bowl of pistachio pudding smells like grinders. Russell, you are sweet, and I know you will bring so much good to Harvard. Please do not get caught up in some of the hype that I know plagues the Ivys...stay true to your soul, let it guide you. Really, you are doing such a great job so far. It's so cool that you live right next to Rockville Center. I really wish we had more time to talk, but you will keep in touch, eh? I love you. Teagan, you are so cool. I love your ME pictures and your Jewel pictures. And you are such a softie inside. Did you video-tape me getting all ticklish? (It's not hard to do...I got harrassed so much about that all weekend long...hee hee hee hee hee).THanks so muchforthe picture. I love you. Eric, you rock. Cool...we both know George Karolis. You are such a special person...so kind, so friendly. It's like as soon as I began talking to you I felt like we were such old friends. I think you were the ONLY person who did not tickle me or attempt to. Thanks. heh heh heh. I got so embarrassed when you took pictures of me while I was reading...but that's ok. If I can not get embarrassed around my friends when around whom can I get embarrassed? I hope that we get to hang out and stuff. I love you. Laura, you are so sweet. You remind me of a butterfly...such a free spirit, so beautiful, sensitive, gentle, and soulful. Be good. Always keep your passion and your butterfly-ness. I love you. Adam, it is so amazing that you came so far just to be with us. I adore you. Really. Your smile is so warm and it just radiates your soul. I love you. Farr, you are incredible. Wow. I am really really happy that I got to know you. *SMILE* YOu are so kind and so generous and friendly. Wow. Have I only really known you for a few days? Thank you for your support and all those kind words over the weekend. I hope that someday I get to take a trip out to Oklahoma City to hang out with you! I love you. Christina...sweetie, you rock. We had so much fun this weekend. Thanks for all the hugs. Hugs are good things. "Time to go squishy-squishy" Jewel singalong was awesome on the ride up here, thanks for bringing the stereo. "We go to college..." Hee hee hee. I better be seeing you this summer! (Fizz is a pretty cool guy, too). I love you. I KNOW I am forgetting people here. =~( And I am so sorry. It's Monday...the past few days have been so wacky (after I got home from Camp Campbell I had to wait for 4 hours in front of the place where I am staying for 2 weeks for someone to come home and open the door for me...THAT was not fun). BUT...I love everyone TO DEATH. Really. Anyone who wasn't there, you missed out on an incredible weekend, it was like two weeks of being in a sumemr camp all smushed into two days. I can not wait to get my pictures developed. AND I know this is odd, but I am inviting everyone and anyone who wants to come to little old Lancaster on Thursday, June 12, to come hang out over night for my birthday.

I got to the Wherehouse at about 9:40, just to make sure there would be no problem getting tickets ... Much to my chagrin, there were six people already waiting ... The first of which bought $1,000 worth of tickets ... I can't remember what the others bought, but one man's purchase stood out in my mind ... Supertramp .... And he couldn't believe he got sixth row seats ... Pretty impressive .... I'm in section 201, if anyone else if going, let me know Mike ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 16:38:52 -0400 (EDT) From: Grrly1@aol.com Subject: NJC:Poem:Eyes of an Angel Okay, thsi is the poem i had wanted to share at the EDAdventure. If you were around about 6 or 7 months ago you will probably remember me posting a lot of poetry and i had stopped writing for a while. so this was the first poem i had written in about 5 months. it may seem like it was inspired by Jewel because of the Angel subject, but i dotn think it was really (except for the "pieces of me" line that someone pointed out to me) and i think sometimes poetry is insiped by the music you are listening to while you are writing, well i was listening to Pink floyd when i wrote this... i'm not sure what thats saying exactly. Anyways... I had put off posting this to the list for a couple of reasons; I wanted to post it on some of the AOL poetry boards first and see what kind of reaction it would get from strangers before i let you guys see it. I think it DOES however relate to the EDAs, we are such a diverse group that its just amazing... and i hadnt really seen how diverse we are until the EDAdventure... Eyes of an Angel Look! I see an angel But what does it look like? I cannot see its face Is it black? Is it white? Asian? Hispanic? No... its face is of Pure chrystal Reflecting the light of the sun With the colors of the rainbow Listen! I hear the angels laughter But how does it sound? Is it the voice of A young girl? An old man? is it a giggle? or a Flirtatious laugh? No... it is all of these It is a voice So clear It sounds like a river Trickling over pebbles, A sparkling beauty Not coming from the mouth but straight from the heart. A beam of light shines above the Beautiful creature as it spreads its wings, The angel waves with the motion of a dove in flight It speaks... Yet its mouth is closed "I must go now" says the angel "wait... what are you?" I call to it... not sure of what i had seen The angel looks at me, and its eyes are clear; Diamonds. Its gaze catches mine I try and look away but i cant I dont want to. I can see the Angels soul through its eyes. and after what seems like an endless moment it says, "I am all things. Just look around you, The Trees. The Ocean. The Sky. They are all pieces of me." And finally I understood why the Angels face was sparkling chrystal And the voice was that of a river. An Angel is not made up of one thing. One Race. One Color. An angel is part of all of us. It is of heaven, And Earth. It is everything wonderful and beautiful, Combined to make the perfect soul.

I'm only 1 hour from 6 Flags and at first I was planning on going... But then I chickened out. I'm a newbie (just 6 days old) and I was scared I wasn't going to fit in, but now I feel bad after reading "Davester" message :o( I should've gone, it would have made a start. :o( Ever so timid Abel ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 16:16:14 -0500 (CDT) From: Tien Dang Subject: NJC:Kicking myself in the Kiester I'm kicking myself in the kiester right now for not going to the EDA adventure.Wow!! The EDA adventure sounded so fun!!!!! Damn!!!!!! Houston is like kinda far from Jersey. I wish I could have gone. It would have been so cool to meet some other EDAs like Paul Kim, Tim Burke, Dan, Rachel, Erica (pud), Gianny, Tammy, Mia (Turtle) and others who were there. I've only talked to you guys but meeting you guys would be so neat!!!! :) and oh meeting the infamous HarrisBros(tm) Dennis Harris would be very cool too. See,i didn't forget the (tm) this time.;) :) Let's all hope i can get the day off from work on June 21,to go to Rockfest so i could maybe meet some of you, and other wonderful EDAs. I gotta go now, you guys take care. Have a nice day!!!! :) EDA in Houston who is about to go out and play some basketball but has to eat some Lucky Charms first so he could have lots of energy ;) Tien "Somewhere...Sometime...All things will be fine"-BUSH ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 16:23:19 -0500 (CDT) From: Emilia Garvey Subject: Hi guys: Really NJC!! Hi, umm... I know it sounds stupid but why are guys my age so damn stupid. I mean I think I scared one of em, and I got too close to him again, which really bothers me, and now I'm a little deppresed...ok. got that over with. heres a couple poems.... I stood over by the window and I supposed you stood there looking out over town although you can't see it that well from here. But it doesn't really matter,does it? Because if you were standing it wasn't alone or silently like me U were standing, laughing talking loudly not paused no one does that. It looks like a balcony and its tin if you stepped on it it would bend. And you think I don't worry about having time alone? I have too much. ____ You're disappearing from the diluted horizon and you're roadkill again and I envy you like I've never envied anyone I'd like to let you live but I don't think I can since you have held back velvety shoulders maybe you felt it was necessary. roadkill and holding me back from what I didn't want. unnecessary you held me back from don't think it made me want you but it probably did. I still have not forgiven you for killing my hopes in the sunset and everything and making me feel shitty when the fireworks come I don't think they make me need you, but then again they do. Ok...the end...see ya babies later! I'm so mad i couldn't go to the EDAdventure!! :( Emilia "The Jilted Angel" Garvey _____________________________________________________________________ "You were the only one, you were the censor, you'll never people me, I'm not defenseless." ----Bush "Insect Kin" "Ratotuille Strychinine, sometimes she's a friend of mine, with a gigantic whirlpool that will blow your mind.." -Tori Amos "Mr.Zebra" _____________________________________________________________________ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> *Don't you feel salty now?-G.M. * <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 May 1997 17:47:18 -0400 (EDT) From: TripiBilli@aol.com Subject: Jewel in TV Guide!! Hey Angels!! Check out Jewel in next week's TV Guide (May24 - 30). She is featured in an article on VH1's Hard Rock Live. The article features a delightful picture of Jewel as well as a little quip about her performance on the program. I don't know if this is old news or not. I apologize if it is. Take care Angels!!

So I'm still catching up. Everyone that I have recieved a check from has been sent their raffle numbers and confirmation number. Now I will get to the rest of the pledges. Anyone that has sent me a pledge should know by 5:00pm Pacific Time. Anyone that has been missed will still have time to send me an email and I will add them. Every ticket has your confirmation # on it. So when I announce the winning numbers, I will have a way to double check against any mistake I may have made. In other words, each raffle ticket has two numbers; the printed number and your confirmation number. KEEP THE CONFIRMATION LETTER I will first announce only the winning numbers.
