[Shawn E Williams Subject: Re: [EDA] Quick Question for the list. hi! i know what you mean. what about the families of the victims? that is so scary to think that it could happen at my school. i know they say to tell someone if someone says they are going to bring a gun to school or kill someone, but how do you know if they are joking or not? love ya, shawney the hippie angel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 20:08:40 EST From: NikosSong@aol.com Subject: Re: [EDA] Quick Question for the list. Yes, I agree. The media has exploited the shootings. I must confess, though, that these shootings hit a lot closer to home than I wished. The boy who committed the murders, Charles Williams, used to attend my school before he moved to San Diego (or around there). I did not know him personally, he is younger than me. I probably couldn't have even picked him out in a crowd. (I guess that was his point, huh? People said he was quiet...it was true, I suppose). It scares me that this could have happened at my school - my life. It makes me wonder if the seed was planted while he was still in Maryland, or if he just wasn't accepted when he moved to California. Either way, it is such a tragedy. In a way, I am glad I never met Charles. This way, I can't say "Oh, he couldn't have done it, not him," or such nonsense like that. Our school is still in shock, as I'm sure many are nation wide. I'd like to take this opportunity to just tell everyone that it COULD be someone you know who gets injured, or is the one injuring. Its close to home, even if it is (in my case) 3000 miles away. Just be careful everyone, and don't be naive. Jenni ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 02:33:31 -0000 From: "Charles Gregory" Subject: [EDA] Missunderstanding with Jupiter...

If so, are you going to the international convention? Even better, are any of you in the Capital District? Maybe we could have a "hotel room concert" lol. Anyway, hope to talk to some of you soon!

"Your Ghost" by Steve Poltz Last night I looked for you, but you could not be found I felt your ghost in my room, dancing all around. I tried to talk to you, but there was no reply I sat up shaking in my bed, and then I cried. I can't explain it, there's so much I could say to you So much is left unsaid, and there's nothing I can do Nothing I can do. I played your song last night, and drank down my last beer Skyway by Westerberg, but you weren't there to hear I thought I saw an angel with you in the back But when they turned the light down, everything went black. I thought of your mom and dad in your hometown And your lovely sister, and it slowly brought be down Only brought me down I'd think of your sweet smile, and how perfectly it fit To you the word was a cookie jar, and you had your hands in it I wish that I could take all the guns from this sick place And melt them into coins, and buy compassion for the human race. I know that it sounds cliche, but I'm tired of this violence And the view is much different when your inside of the fence. I'm on this side of this sick fence. Last night I looked for you, but you could not be found I felt your ghost in my room, dancing all around I tried to talk to you, but there was no reply I sat up shaking in my bed, and then I cried, I sat up shaking in my bed... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 22:14:05 EST From: Jamieangel1@aol.com Subject: [EDA] Electric Fan I remember about 4 years ago, Priscilla and I went on a quest to correct all of the lyrics on Gerrit's site. It was short-lived (with the exception of Without You By My Side, IT"S SLEEPY, RED WINE KISSES, CILLA!!!), and we've definitely drifted from Jewel...but somewhere in me, the quest is still on. The Real Lyrics to Electric Fan by Jewel Kilcher An electric fan keeps me company tonight It's nights like this make It easy to forget Why we used to fight ...It also makes it easy To forget the words... ...Right... An electric fan keeps me company tonight It's nights like this make It easy to forget Why we used to fight Love is an ember Born to burn out Well, I wish it would No, I don't feel that good Faces they blend And blur with the scenery Crowded rooms make it easy To forget I'm lonely The cat puked in my shoe Guess it's fitting it would No, I don't feel that good Regret's a useless word Most times I try to avoid it But sometimes it gets so tough That I can't ignore it I can't scream I can't think out loud Cuz just a whisper feels like a shout Oh, God, I made a mistake I can't breathe without you (Have I ever said how much I love it when she says that last line? *sigh*) The cars driving by They throw their lights Against the wall I should go to bed Get out of this chair And turn the TV off Oh goody! I get to go to bed alone! If I could get excited I would No, I don't feel that good And Gerrit's stinky version: Electric Fan by Jewel Kilcher An electric fan That keeps me company tonight It's nights like this make It easy to forget Why we used to fight ...It also makes it easy To forget the words... ...Right... An electric fan That keeps me company tonight It's nights like this make It easy to forget Why we used to fight Love is an ember Born to burn out Well, I wish it would No, I don't feel that good Lately they blend And blur with the scenery Crowded rooms make it easy To forget I'm lonely The cat puked in my shoe Guess it's fitting it would But I, I don't feel that good Regret's a useless word Usually I try to avoid it But sometimes it gets so quiet That I can't remember the morals But the part I can't admit When you're thinking out loud Is just a whisper That feels like a shout Oh, God, I made a mistake I can't breathe without you The cars driving by They throw their lights Against the wall I should go to bed Get out of this chair And turn the TV off Oh goody! I get to go to bed alone! If I could get excited I would No, I don't feel that good Love you Gerrit. =) Jamie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 23:54:07 EST From: F8thnJEWEL@aol.com Subject: [EDA] i talked about jewel on the radio! hi everyone .. this may seem stupid, but i was on the radio this morning talking about Jewel. anyone in california know the station KROQ? if so, they have this morning talk show and the hosts are Kevin and Bean. well, they were talking about celebrity obsessions and i decided to call. i actually got through on the very first dial! as i was on hold i realized that i was as "crazy" as the other callers. they all had tattoos of their favoritie artists! like this one guy had the whole KISS band on his back! this other girl had gwen stefani singing (she said it was about 6 inches tall)! so i didn't think i sounded as crazy as they did. anyway, i started talking about jewel and they asked me, "i bet you, you read her crappy poetry book, huh?" and i laughed and said yes ... and mentioned her new book ..." they were like, "isn't funny that jewel, who has a pretty unique voice and has her moment and place, is the person [ i ] fixated on?" they said i was "camped on jewel." and then they were like how often do you listen to her? for a while, i haven't actually listened to jewel, but i happened to have been listening to her SPIRIT album lately ... so i said everyday (just so i wouldn't be upped by the other callers ^_^) and they were about to hang up, but they asked if jewel was still recording, and i proudly told them there would be one later this year. hehe .. so basically, i labeled myself as a freak on the radio and then did a little P.R. for her =) anyway ... i just thought it was cool i got through the lines and got to be on air ... later ~Elizabeth ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V6 #99 **************************
