Here goes. I am seventeen years old, my name's Emily (by the way, I love that song!), and I've suffered from severe depression for a while now. I love to sing. I love to sing your songs. I've seen you live, in concert once, and that was at RockFest at the Texas Motor Speedway. Anyway, here's where I get started. (I never promised you this would be short.) Let's see here, um, three years ago, I was what you call a Bush Freak. I had purple hair, I was trying to be rebellious, and so I listened to crap. I doesn't make much sense to me either. So I'm this 8th grade freak at my middle school and everyone hates me. Thus, the depression worsens, and is detected. Ah hah! I start therapy. My parents don't really know what they're doing, so they send me to this Christian counselor. Bad mistake. This lady tells me that my mom's the problem. She found out I was suicidal, and so of course she does the obvious thing — doesn't tell ANYONE!! That's, um, how do we say, illegal? So anyway, I'm already lost and confused and crying in my closet for days on end, and this lady doesn't help at all. So, I switch therapists. Now I go to Dr. Collins. She's this old ex-ballerina who I don't like at all. So I go, and we struggle through family therapy sessions (which is why I actually got to go see you) and it was just icky. So now it's the summer after 8th grade. Concert time! I have to admit, I actually went to see Bush, but when I heard you, it was like this wake up call. I know that sounds cheesy, but it really began the shift in my musical taste. Time for high school! Yay! Heh, not. At this time, my hair is red and I wear it in little Princess Leah buns. So I'm shifting from liking Bush, to liking you, and Tori, and Ani, and the good stuff. I've been on Zoloft for a few months, I'm semi-happy. So, now I let Dr. Collins know that I'm suicidal, still. Ring Ring! "Hello, Reverend Miller (yes I am a preacher's daughter, we'll get to that part later), I think it might be a good idea to hospitalize Emily. She just told me that last Saturday night, she sat holding a razor in her hand for three hours while she was home alone." Now I'm in the hospital, the psych ward. It was not the least bit what I expected it to be like. I was all excited that I'd get to lay in bed and watch cable tv. Um, no. You're not even allowed to wear shoes in the psych ward, because you could either strangle yourself with the laces, or hit yourself over and over on the head with them. You think of all sorts of crazy ways to kill yourself when you're in there. ok, that's where i stopped writing (that was about 5 months ago....) after the first hospital stay, i didn't really get any better, actually, i got progressively worse. in september '98 i had to go to kansas for intense psychological testing. that was horrible. i finally made a break-through about a year ago. in november '98, i was hospitalized again, and this time i pulled out and was able to actually get myself out of bed again, and, at times even feel happy. i've switched schools twice, and even though i still have bad times, i get along day by day. i guess the best "jewel moment" in my life would have been last may. as i mentioned in the letter, my dad's a minister. i kinda nagged him enough to do a sermon on "hands" and after he preached, i sang. i felt so sappy cause all these people who knew me and what i've been through were crying, but i guess a lot of jewel's songs really relate a lot to depression, and breaking free, and all of that. emily "the wailing angel" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 18:11:54 -0500 From: Mike Connell Subject: * Re: how tall is Jewel?

Hey Angels, Does anyone know anything about a song called "Leaving on a Jet Plane" ? I downloaded it thru napster rececently. Supposedly the artist is Jewel. But after listening to it, i'm not so sure... The voice seems only slightly similar to her's to me. In fact it reminds me a little of that woman from Catatonia. I dunno, maybe it is Jewel, it's just a really early recording or something ??? So if anyone knows, could ya clear this up for me? Cheers, Staci McFly - - one of the kiwi angels xxoo ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 14:00:46 +1300 From: "Stace" Subject: * NJC : me, Jewel and other mindless babble... Hey Angels, I've really enjoyed reading everyone else's little profiles of themselves, so i thought i'd join in! I live in Wellington, New Zealand, it's a great city, so much character...everywhere you go there's like little cafe's and there seems to be a busker or performer on most of the main streets, it creates this great atmosphere ya know? And there's this huge mix of people, from all walks of life, which means you feel really safe just to be yourself. It's a great place, but i don't think i'll stay there forever, lol. After all i have lived here all my life, and i'm dying to travel to like Europe... and of course San Diego :) I'm 19 now, i'll be 20 in July next year (wow, what a scary thought!). And i think i would have been a Jewel fan since around late '96. I can't remember when exactly, but one day i suddenly figured out that two songs i loved, ('WWSYS and YWMFM') were sung by the same person! Lol :) And when Jewel released Foolish Games, i of course loved it! I bought Pieces of You soon after. I really got hooked and inspired by her music after seeing her performance of MTV unplugged. I loved how she was so chatty and at ease with the audience. I remember she says something like : "... on MTV unplugged, and i was like, i thought i was. Unplugged... I didn't know what to do, i thought i was gonna have to do the whole thing acapella.... so i decided to get more plugged in than ever, and i got a whole band together..*giggles and shrugs her shoulders* .. what the hell...". I loved that! :) Oh yeah, and the songs were great too! I fell in love with 'Last Dance Rodeo', and was just blown away by 'Too Darn Hot'. To this day, the video of that performance is one of my most prized posessions. The 'Spirit' Tour got to New Zealand in March this year, and needless to say, the concert was awesome, i can still remember it quite clearly (which is amazing for me, cos my memory is shocking aye!). I had only managed to buy the 'Spirit' album about three days before the concert, i think i listened to it non-stop so that i'd know all the songs for the night! And it worked too! Come that glorious night me and my two great friends and fellow Jewel fans, Mary and Bronnie were all singing along and having the best time! We got to meet Steve Poltz later on as well, which just made it all even better! I've been at University this year studying Psychology and History, which except for exams and essays, i've really enjoyed :) One of the best parts though, has been the bus ride to uni every morning where i'd plug in 'Jewel at Woodstock '99' on my walkman, sit back, relax, and just chill to excellent music for 35mins :) aaahhh bliss.... Anyway, that's far too much rant from me.... so i'll be signing off! (Sorry, it seems that when i start writing, i just don't know when to stop... oops ... :\ ) Luff and kisses, Staci McFly - - one of the kiwi angel's xxoo ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 20:51:41 EST From: KNicky3116@aol.com Subject: * NJC: A small request Hey angels, Today I found out that my older sister may be in some serious trouble. First off, she's 28 years old, she just got married a year ago, and she and her husband just decided to buy a new house. My parents were acting a bit strange this afternoon, and then they proceeded to tell me that Roxanne (yeah, just like the movie:) had a melanoma. I guess she had some skin tested and it came back positive. This was from a little growth that most likely came from too much sun exposure. My day was going all right until that moment. I am crushed and my Christmas is already ruined. My sister has to go for a cat scan and blood work on Friday, and then we will know if the cancer spread. If it did spread, then that is not good at all...it's a life and death issue. So, for all of you faithful angels out there, could you please say a small prayer for my sister? She needs all the help she can get. Thanks. Nicole angel on horseback "I used to know you...but not anymore.
