However, this got me thinkink (grinding of cogs). I realised that i'd like to make a donation to RAINN anyway, and wondered if there was any way that i could. But then it occured to me that, as far as i know, being the "...national network" it probably doesn't exist here in the UK. If not, why not?!?!? It occured to me that if it doesn't, then i'd like to do something to rectify the situation. We have rape support networks here, but to have a figurehead like Tori to bring a light onto the subject, surely if it became RAIIN (the Rape and Incest INTERNATIONAL Network) it could only help things. If there is any way i can make a donation here, if it is international, then can someone give me a contact. If not, then what about the above suggestion? - ---------------------- Brian the Lion bos197@soton.ac.uk ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Dec 1997 09:15:04 -0500 From: Stephanie Handley Subject: Re: flub ups I always thought it was "wake up...", too!!!

If >not, then what about the above suggestion? I think the "National Network" is part of the name because it is just that... it's a nationally organised charity with a national number, but when you phone it, you get in touch with local councillors and clinics in your area. It sort of weaves a national support group out of all the disjoint local ones. There could (should!) be one started up in the UK, but to have an international one might just compound the complexity of the charity. Anyway, you can probably send a cheque to RAINN, but it might not be usable for them unless it's drawn on a US bank. If someone in the UK got a message to Tori that we'd like to start a fund for contributions, I'm sure a UK registered charity could be set up very quickly. Maybe you should call East-West Records in London (Kensington) and ask (!) By the way, if you have a receipt for a nice donation to RAINN (say 20 pounds+), you can have a free copy of my charity rare-B sides CD "Butterflies & Killer B's".

Please, please do! I must share a pathetic secret with you regarding Etienne. I've had cats and dogs all my life (and lizards, snakes, horses, parrots...) but I have never been as connected with one as I am with Sid, my 12 yr old black cat. To make it even more special, he dislikes anyone but me. And he *loves* me. I got him at 16 from a barn where I was training a horse. While watching the latest batch of kittens playing, I saw this little black one hide behind the corner of a bale of hay, only to ambush one of his sisters. That's when I knew I had to have him! 2 months later, I smashed my femur (thigh bone) and was in the hospital for 3 months (had lots of sugery...) Sid came to visit every week. He has that barn cat mentality of being very afraid of new situations, people... But every week my parents would put him in a duffle bag and carry him to my hospital room. He'd just lay in my arms, sleeping comfortably the entire visit. And over the years we have grown closer and closer. When I come home from work, he leads me to the bedroom, frequenly looking back at me, saying, "Are you comming?" and we have our "cat cuddle" time. He sleeps every night in my arms, actually wants me to wrap my arms around him and snuggle my face in his fur. Generally, cats get miffed when you move around at night, and the jump off the bed, so only spending ah hour or so with you. Not Sid. Even when I roll over on my stomache and grab him with my left arm, he stays... Well, I can't help thinking of Sid when I listen to "Etienne" I know it's nuts to relate a romantic song with a pet, (and not my boyfriend of 10 years!), but Sid *knows*. I can't help but believe we've been together through past lives and will be together again in the next life. He makes my life livable, he gives me strength to go day to day, he makes me laugh, he makes me feel special and deeply loved. I've had a lot of physical pain the past 3 years, with debilitating migraines, and then breaking my back and tail bone last year. Some nights I pray I won't wake up in the morning and I wonder how I'll make it through the day when I do. But Sid's by my side, and he knows when I'm really hurting, he doesn't get tired of hearing, "I can't go out, because of my back...." He's just there. So, that's my "Etienne" story.

I've heard them play this dance mix at a couple of frat parties, too. One actually went out and bought Boys for Pele thinking it had the dance mix on it. (Well, she didn't like the album, but I let her have my single. I just went out and got a new one.) Oh well. Anyway, I'm not too averse to dance music. I really like it. A lot of people I know who are into techno or whatever you call it heard Blue Skies and thought it was really great. It's not Tori music, but it sort of has Tori's stamp of approval on it by virtue of her being on it. So I justify these purchaeses that way. :) Incidentally, there are Tori key chains! I saw one on my friend's back pack. It was an image from the God cover, all in pink tints, and at the bottom it said "Tori Amos" Anyway, she said she got it at this store by Fisherman's Wharf, so yesterday, another friend and I went down there and went "Tori key chain shopping" Needless to say we couldn't find the sotre.

Personally, I'm scared about the "new sound". It's kind of confusing, though, how I feel. First, we can't really imagine what the new album will sound like--so I hate to form an opinion. While I love to watch her constantly push herself on each album, I am worried about losing the Tori and her piano sound. But what she comes up with may be absolutely wonderful. But it would make me very sad if those days are gone, because one of the main reasons I like her is that her "sound" is so different, not to mention the lyrics/emotion and feel. While these last elements can remain similar, or, as we have seen thus far, better, I do worry about the loss of her sound. But I guess we'll have to just wait and see.

One thing I have grown to realize about Tori is that to be a part of her, you have to trust her. I trust her completely. She is a phenomenal person, and while her "sound" may be altered with this new album or with any other project she undertakes, I know that she will take me places as she has so well in the past. To allow yourself to take her in is to really be able to hear her. I'm not worried at all. The only thing that slightly concerns me is if I, personally, will be able to emotionally handle what Tori will put out there. Honestly I can't wait.

What really surprised me was when Boys For Pele came out was the amount of negative reaction on the net. I read one negative review after another from various Toriphiles on the mailing lists and newsgroups. (However, as people grew into the album, many of them changed their minds later, especially after they saw her perform the songs live.) Tori is very dynamic and does not want to repeat herself. Little Earthquakes was an incredible album, but we will never hear another Little Earthquakes. Some people find this disturbing. If you want another LE I think you will be disappointed. Tori will surprise us on the new album. Personally, I love the challenge of a new direction on each work. It keeps her music fresh and innovative. I think BFP was her finest album, because of the growth it shows as an artist. I would hate to see Tori stagnate. It can be a real challenge to open yourself to new things every album, but ultimately I think it is more satisfying.

The Quote Of The Day mailing list is alive and has been faithfully feeding us quotes all year. You must no longer be subscribed! Torinews has been down now for some time. I miss it. Does anyone know *if* it will return? There will a be *alot* of news to share soon, and ToriNews was a cool and *quick* way to get the word out there. It helped me immensely with the Dent last year.

The first time I heard Sweet Dreams, I was just sort of absorbing it, not paying too much attention to the lyrics or anything, just soaking it up, and here's what I heard... In the part where she says "You say, you say, you say that you have 'em, I say that you're a liar..." I heard: "You say you say you say that you have 'em, but I say jambalaya." *blush* probably the silliest one of mine... I figured the lyric out pretty quickly afterwards. :) I have so many flub-ups of Tori lyrics it's rather sad and pathetic, but I just wanted to share this one with you all... now you know my secret... Bright Blessings and Lollipops! Yvette. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Definitions are limiting. Limitations are deadening.
