That is very ironic... wouldn't you feel so dumb if Tori was talking to you and you ignored her, then found out later that it really *was* her? Like she mentioned your screen name in a song or something.. lol.. I could see it now.. "And ToriFan9867235 snubbed me once in a chat room... lala.." lol.. :) > I once went in there, hoping that there was someone in there with half a > brain, and I saw someone with the screen name IRapedTori.

Why would anybody have a screen name like that? And on that note.. why would anybody TALK to somebody with a screen name like that? Whether it was Tori or not.. "IRapedAnybody" would be bad. "Rape" anywhere in a screen name is horrible, unless it says like.. "ISurvivedRape" or something.. but.. "IRapedTori" ????? Sick.... > < Tori Amos AOL chat guess what they said ? "Tori sucks".

AOL is just... a crazy mess of worthless people. Not to say everybody on there is.. but for the most part... many of them just have no respect. You know why? AOL is the most popular online service. Anybody who can get their hands on a credit card can be on there. Most people flock to it.. so since it's got the most users.. it's prone to having the most jerks/idiots/blahblahblah's. People need to learn to have a little respect.. and not join a chat room entitled "Tori Amos" if all you're gonna do is sit and talk about how much she sucks. > < > they'll have to start beating up on, or ignoring, each other instead > ;o)>> > > I told several people that I was going to create a room called No Snobby > Tori Fans :) LOL.. I don't think it's Snobbyness, totally.. it's just... they're in their own world. It's just a big clique.. a big group of people who don't want more added to their family. They know each other by firsts names. I must admit that there have been a few times when I entered and was greeted and enjoyed my stay there.. I became a regular for a couple of weeks and people knew me for awhile.. until somebody screamed at me for using 'their' color and they all ganged up on me. Come on, now.. there's only so many colors available.. they gotta double up somewhere. Nobody screams when everybody is using black.. :p Silly, silly people.. I think I'll make a room called "EWF" and say that Tori-bashers need not apply. ;) AOL sucks.

Trent refers to himself as a pig > in his music, he calls himself by that name, and by > having a picture of a piglet, this context places > Trent Reznor in the arms of a nurturing Tori, This really doesn't have anything to do with pigs, but could someone explain to me the obsessive need of some Tori fans to link everything with Trent Reznor. Ok, maybe not everything but it seems that many times when someone offers up an interoperation of something he's mentioned. I really do not understand this need to make these connections. I mean besides his backing vocals on PTM what else is there?? Please I am open to any reason, I probably won't understand it, but explanations are welcome. My take on the pig, is what I think I've heard Tori mention, not in these exact words mind you, but something akin to this. (I think its be mentioned before, but I'm going to mention it again anyway). On BFP Tori really lets patriarchal religions have it. Pigs are considered "unclean" animals to many Jews and Muslims. I think the suckling of the pig is the nurturing of those things that are seen as unclean, not quite Kosher, nourishing what is most definitely *not* accepted. Nothing whatsoever to do with Mr. Reznor. > since "Butterfly" is > about her at-the-time failing relationship with Eric To preface, I'm all about personal interoperations but, just for info sake, Tori wrote Butterfly for the movie Higher Learning. You, by all means, can take what you will out of the song from there. I'm, just pointing out not every song Tori writes is autobiographical. And lastly, if you've made it this far.... could someone (or many of you) tell what Horses is about, I really haven't a clue, but its one of my favs to listen to live.

Silly me expected some sort of indignant outcry at this.... >> I once went into some Tori AOL chat room a few days before the sneak preview club tour because I was all excited and some guy came in and told us that Tori had been in a car accident ... we all believed him for a few minutes ... some girl was in tears and then eventually after asking him a bunch of questions - like where was she etc. and when he kept answering them all wrong we figured out what he was doing. Then once we started ignoring him, he started saying THIS IS TORI AMOS!! and other insane stuff like he was the one who raped her etc... It was really horrible. Anyway the only other time recently that I have enjoyed a Tori AOL chat was the day the tickets went on sale online, I was in two different chat rooms where everyone was friendly and pulling together to try to get some information on what was happening. kisses, joanne ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 22:33:36 EDT From: XXXPandora@aol.com Subject: Re: Pigs In a message dated 6/7/1999 7:26:33 PM Eastern Daylight Time, bayouorestes@yahoo.com writes: << Anyhow, I digress... so the pig is Trent, and Tori is the mother figure. Okay... >> hmmm, thats a very interesting analysis ... but I really doubt that Tori was thinking about Trent when she picked up that pig. It just doesn't seem likely. I think its over-analyzing her actions and intentions ... but I could be wrong. I do think she is like obsessed (in a good, cutie innocent) way with trent. I think its more likely that the pig represents all men in general and showcases their vulnurabilty and dirtyness all in one package. kisses, joanne ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 22:26:32 EDT From: XXXPandora@aol.com Subject: Re: Tori videos In a message dated 6/7/1999 7:24:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time, megasus@geocities.com writes: << Anybody think she'll try to have a baby again sometime soon? I think that would be very awesome.. after seeing her work with kids, it would be so sweet to see her with a child of her own. >> oooooooh, I hope so. She will have such cute babies. I Honestly think that she will start trying again fairly soon. I know that my mom and my boyfriend's mom both had miscarriages (his mom had 2) about a year before they had their first child. So a year seems like a normal mourning period ... and its been about a year and a half now right?? I think Tori will be a mommy soon :) and then she can put her own kids in her videos :P kisses, joanne ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V4 #166 *************************************
