Actually, I'm sorry Chris. It's just that you sound so pissed. I haven't heard an angel pissed in such a long time. Actually, I never have, not in this sarcastic, what's-the-big-deal-sense. Wow. Once again sorry... Anyway, about my braces-- I have to put rubber bands and everything, right? So my orthodontist (some horrible b****) puts one end of the of the rubber band around a braces brackets on the top left of my mouth, and the other end on the lower right of my mouth. Mind you, the rubber bands are four mm. wide. I can't talk right, and if this were a recording, you'd be laughing SO hard. But what made me laugh was I imagined what would happen if JUEL got braces and had rubber band aross her mouth like I do! I'm like, OMIGOD HOW WILL SHE SING CHIME BELLS???

It's not like the person was stating facts, only opinions. That was that persons own opinion and as alot of you edas had said before, people should be able to state their own opinions and not be jumped on for it. The way I take things like that is "Well thats his opinion, we all know the facts."

I don't know, right this second, I see and read all these emails and I'M HAPPY. Because I'm finally back. It's like you're my children, you can get "annoying" but it doesn't matter to me, I can't abandon the group. Except it would be weird to be a thirteen (fourteen? wait, no I'm thirteen, I'm sure...)-year-old mother. Right now I'm extremely happy; it was so long since I'd written and now I'm like active and I finally even got angelfood. And I was super giddy to see all the people I'd left long ago, and a lot of new people too. And Rich, he should know that I, like, sleep in the EDA tee he worked so hard to make. And that nowadays, I keep lamenting "I should have gotten TWO shirts" cause this one is like worn... You know, first day of high school I'm going to wear the shirt. Because I'm proud, you know. I don't like cat fights, but as long as there ARE the eda's I guess I'll have to overlook that "flaw". ===== ~*Liz*~ the Misplaced Angel HARMLESS & SHAMELESS PLUGS (if you can, check 'em out!)

And while I have been a member of this list for several years, I have mainly lurked. And while I have not met to many of those on this list, I do feel a tie with many of you. It does seem like a lot of the newer and more active members are of the younger crowd, but we all have a tie in that we enjoy the message that Jewel has sent out with her music and poetry. Now to get onto my actual post. There really should be no list of things you must have to be an EDA. Why, you ask, mainly because it depends on who you are, and in what you happen to see what an EDA is and does. For me, being an EDA is more than just being a member of this list, or calling oneself a fan of Jewel's. It is the spirit of selflessness that one evokes in assisting others to their dreams. I would suggest that we try not take offense at being categorized into one group based on age. A lot of times while age might not seem to have a true bearing on what it means to be helpful, experience does. And that usually does come with age. Maturity and how we deal with others is another thing as well. How we deal with others is a sign of our maturity, age and upbringing. If we take offense at everything, that is rather selfish attitude, always thinking that it affects "me". If we are to be helpful, it is better to think of other first, then ourselves. I do apoligize if this rambled, but I felt that it was needed. Have a good day all.

As the years pass, life seeks to find this talent and ignite its expression. For Stephanie, music lives inside her spirit and is released through thythm and harmony of her songs. Born in rural Kansas, Stephanie grew up in a small farming community. She began piano lessons at age 5 and drew inspiration from jazz and rock classics, the sound Stephanie would later claim as her own was emerging. It was during college that longed to leave the orchestra, where she played a bass, and let loose to experiment without boundaries. Stephanie broke away from what she felt were the stiff rules of standard music and is currently working on a new album due out this summer. - ------------------------------- A Living Room Show is an informal concerts, usually in people's homes, where 20 or more people can sit comfortably to enjoy an initmate concert. Its a great way to bring a musician to your town.

I wrote to Lori (youngen). I wrote to say that I totally agree with her! Why should we be judged b/c we are younger than most? I personally have been a Jewel fan for almost 6 years. I have followed her career and have been just as happy when new music came out and when I could finally read her words just like all of you. Lori is a Jewel fan, that is why she is on this list. No offense to anyone, but why should other people have a say if she is Truly a Jewel fan or not?I don't voice my opinion on this stuff to often but WHY HATE MAIL FOR A FELLOW EDA (young or not) TRUE-some may be more immature than others, but Lori Is just sticking up for herself. Many of you have done the same and been attacked for it. WHY is this? Caitlin, * A Young but TRUE Jewel fan* ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 23:11:01 EDT From: Giggly1021@aol.com Subject: * how I found Jewel and how she inspires Someone (Rich I believe) suggested we talk about what drew us and continues to draw us to Jewel. As I was listening to some Angelfood this afternoon, I started remembering my first encounter with Jewel. It was my sophomore year in college, Feb of 1997. It was announced that Jewel was going to be the spring concert. My roommate wanted to go, but thought she'd have to go alone, so I told her I'd go. I'd heard WWSYS and YWMFM, and I liked them. I didn't love them, but I'd never been to a concert before, so I went. The Rugburns were the opening act. They were pretty good, had some fuuny songs and a lot of audience participation. They even made up a song on the spot, the Geneseo/Rochester song. After a break, the lights dimmed and a voice said "I'm gonna keep it dark for a little while" Then she sang the words that got to me, "Please don't say I love you, those words touch me much too deeply they make my core tremble don't think you realize the effect you have over me and please don't come so close it just makes me wanna be near you always" I could have written those words. I tend to fall in love very easily and develop feelings for people based on little actions, like sitting close, or a smile, a look. I loved every moment of that concert. That weekend I borrowed my roommates copy of POY. I loved it, so I went out and bought my own copy. I surfed the net to find info about Jewel, and eventually found Mike's site about the EveryDay Angels. I joined, but had to leave when I went home for break, the list was extremely busy in the fall of '97, I think it was close to 60-80 messages a day. When I got back to school, I was busy with classes and pledging Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fraternity, so I didn't rejoin the list. My senior year was busy, I took 16-17 credits, volunteered almost 100 hrs, and served on various committees within the fraternity. I rejoined the list when I graduated. But whether on or off the list, I have always felt like an EDA. Jewel inspires me to live my dreams. I want to help people, to make a difference. I know I won't become famous and inspire millions of people, but I will do my best to be an inspiration to those around me. This fall I'm going back to school to become a school psychologist. I want to help kids; to help them reach their full potential and help them face the difficulties that their lives throw at them. Each and every one of us can make a difference. That's what Jewel has taught me. If you touch just one life, you have made a difference. Someone once told me a story of a boy in school. His teacher came up with a project. She gave each member of the class 3 ribbons that said "who I am makes a difference" she told them to give a ribbon to someone who made a difference in their life and to give them the other 2 ribbons to pass on to someone who made a difference for them. The boy gave his ribbon to a man at a company who was helping him prepare for college. This man gave the ribbon to his boss. The boss brought the ribbon home and gave it to his son, explaining that even though he didn't spend much time with him, he loved his son very much and that love inspired him and made a tremendous difference in his life. The son began to cry, telling his dad that he had planned on killing himself because he thought his father didn't love him. You'll never realize how many lives you touch because of a simple action. You may touch a single life, but that action may cause that person to touch a life in return and so on. So be the difference that makes a difference! - -Kerri ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V5 #221 ***************************
