Tori: Rabbit is a Deadhead, who lives in Northern California. Rabbit is a girl. She lives in the forest, and makes beads, and she lives with Fox...I wished I could have been Rabbit! K: Tell me about the "man with the golden gun." Is he a wolf? Tori: No. Never. He is dreams. He was never a contender, nor did he ever want to be. He is someone who you know; he is just someone who... >> I don't think this quote has been posted before. Here, she doesn't say the man with the golden gun is God but the way she describes him you could still perceive is it as she was talking about him being God. ~~Kristen ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Sorry to have to post to these forums, but it *is* news and it's the only way I have to reach people at this point. This is just a quick post to let you Purple People know what's going on. One of the drives on my mail server failed Wednesday afternoon. A new drive has been added to the system and the system was restored from the tape backup. However, after the restore completed this morning, it seems that there were several accounts that weren't on the tape backup. I've talked to the administrators of the box and they are going to hook the bad drive back up and reconstruct the file system to get those lost files back. I should have those files back late Monday night. Just so you know, I *do* have all mail sent to the Purple People list queued up and ready to go out. As soon as my files come back, I'll be making some changes to assure that in the event of a server failure, I'll be able to manually send the list out to prevent this from happening again. Please forward this to all Purple People you know who AREN'T on either ToriNews or Precious Things.

I don't know... selfish, but I have a major favor to ask all you lovely people who are going to be at any Meet and Greet in the future. There's this wonderful boy online named Josh. He's a sweetheart. To make a long story short, he was raped by a family member many times and he now has AIDS because of it. He's 15 years old. Josh loves Tori more than anything. His favourite song is Little Earthquakes. It would totally make my life if any of you would tell Tori about this and have her play LE for him... if you go to my dedication page for him (http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/Garden/1495/rose.html), you can read a letter I wrote to her, if you want to print it out and give her that, that's perfectly fine too. Thank you all so much, and please e-mail me if you'll help. Love Always, Melissa L. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Oct 1998 21:10:52 -0500 From: becky Subject: Re: Siren and bsides Hi. So, I've thought about "Siren" and it's connotation. I recently saw "Great Expectations" and didn't think a whole lot of the movie but it was pretty . . . all that green going on, but, anyway . .. Yes, you could interpret it as being about her miscarriage but it really goes with the movie. Let me explain: (a brandish of drums and music, please!) When it is heard in the film, Finn is trying to get over the loss of Estella (what was her name in the movie? Was it the same as the one in the book? I can't quite remember - Gwyneth Paltrow, anyway.) who has been ripping his heart out for the last several years. He fell in love with her as a boy. She messed around with him, got into a sexual situation with him, and dropped him. Now, Stella has been raised to break men's hearts by her aunt. Finn is aware of this but loves her anyway. "and you know you're gonna lie to you in your own way . .. and I lie some other day." - Finn is trying to convince himself that he doesn't love her and can move on with his life - but she's too deep into his soul. "know know too well, know the chill, know she breaks my Siren" - he knows the way she makes him feel, and he knows that she's a human deep under her exterior. She has the ability to drive him crazy, as a Siren can do. "know teenage flash . . . " - the encounter that they had in his bedroom when they were in high school shook him up a lot. Pretty steamy. "Never was one for a prissy girl" - my goodness, is she ever prissy. "Coquette, call in for an ambulance" - alright, so this can be related to Tori, but you could also say that he was in such mental distress about her leaving that he needs medical attention. "reach high, doesn't mean she's holy, just means she's got a Cellular handy" - - he's going against his class hanging out with this girl. She's definitely not innocent and is given the world on a platter. "almost brave, almost pregnant, almost in love" - He was almost brave enough to declare his love but hardly ever had the chance. They had sex and the next time you see her is with her child - which could be Finn's. They almost experienced the ultimate love but either he moved too slowly or she was scared to show it. Vanilla - I don't know but I could definitely see that word relating to Stella. Who knows? becky ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V3 #383 *************************************
