I, myself, being one of them readers. anyway, drop it. or i shall taunt you a second time. Jordan: Gawd, i love british people. all of them. Even the spice girls (i liked their movie, it starred Mark McKinney) but i especially love you. I am going to Cincy to see the Zippers thursday. I couldn't be more psyched!! I am even going to school EARLY as so to take my photography prof's morning class, so that i can learn how to develop film. then i have to wait around all day for Aaron-who's-not-my-boyfriend to finish his dumb Calc 2 class, which means we'll be driving through Colombus during rush hour. But my Lord, it will be SOOO worth it. And did i mention i *love* the Dirty Dozen Brass Band? okay i could go on forever about this but there's more, different topics to discuss. Brian Setzer is coming to KSU Nov. 7. I actually had someone else stand in line for tix fo rme. i mean, out of ALL the times I have gone and stood in line, FINALLY someone else agreed to go. YAY!!! And, i get to go with Aaron-who-is-npt-my-boyfriend and rumor has it that HE knows how to swing dance. however, i just might be taping.....*sigh* a taper's life is such a dag sometimes. BNL Oct. 4 and i think i might be getting front row seats. RAWK ON!! Jay: i didn't like B&S either. Anne: Ohio has those squiggly "freeway goes HERE" signs. wicked. Sandi: oh pleaseopleaseoplease buy my beanbag chair!!!!! $30, overstuffed black leather. 50% of what *I* paid... Saw Rounders today. It wasn't very good but i'd see it over and over and OVER again because I am soooooo very in love with Ed Norton. I mean, SOOO very....*shudder* oh you guys don't even know. My friend (who is totally into Damon) and I just gushed for about an hour after the movie, like 12 year old girls. i seriously was sick with myself. what kinda music is J,LC? i must add them to my list of "bands, as prescribed by the RF) Once again, please stop talking about the MA and/or my post. you are starting to piss me off.

Subject: you'll find, a way to be happy again... hey people. *sigh* last night was both at once one of the best and worst nights of my life. all i know is that life is going to get very interesting from here on in. it was my friend's 17th, and so went down to macca's and ate copious amounts of greasy food, plus we got 50 helium balloons. that was a lot of fun. helium kicks arse. we then rocked up to my house and watched videos. had a good chat with Sara. nows the time for a bit of background people. i have like this girl for a couple of months now and she is really nice. i think that i have fallen hard. really, really hard. anyhow, i saw her out when her mum came and got her and we stood talking for 15-20 mins with her mum. then she hugged me. *sheepish grin* so, there i am, feeling pretty happy with myself. so a few of us brake out the kaluha, then the ararak, then the port, and so on. one of my friends was getting _talkitive_ by this stage, you follow my meaning? good night so far, right people? but this is where it gets bad. he then goes and flowingly esposes his crush on sara. Ouch. and the real problem is that she's been flirting with both of us and so at the moment i am feeling rather mixed up. i've been told by one of her friends that if i asked her out she would say yes. and i would be happy. but... the third variable comes in and fucks me around. see, if i do ask her out, then i will hurt my friend, but i don't know how much she likes him or how much he likes her. but if i don't, well, i don't know. i have fallen HARD. see the predicamant? which one comes first, loyalty to my friend or my own feelings? yikes, this love thang is a problem. i don't want to hurt anyone. anyhow, i hope i have made your lives happier. because, at the moment, i don't know anyone who could be as emotionally fucked as me. i am stewing in a vat of alcohol and my mind is churning. i dunno, i might get another friend to suss things for me. i should be able to get some perspective from that. so any advice, people, is mightly appreciated now. anne, spence, markus, anyone? I poured my heart out, Jordan _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Subject: posting in stone cold sobriety. damn it. things don't look any better in the harsh light of the morning. everything still seems a lot more complicated than it should be. stacy, kamp kicks arse. however, after reading yesterday's rf, at least i know i'm not alone in my predicament. in that, (1) i am not the only human being messed up (2) i'm not the only guy who wimps out when he should ask girls out. thanks guys. Anne, i'm thinking i'm gonna have to get out all three and watch them again. every time i see one, i find a new allusion. shit, kevin smith can write! celebrity skin is being featured on triple j at the moment. it sounds rather good. i'm thinking, another one for the list. i have my tennis championships tommorow. a good chance to get all these other thoughts out of my mind and focus on something. might make it easier. i'm seeded 2, which means i get a first round bye and a nice, easy route to the final. plus i don't have to be up until 12.30. sweet. i didn't get any sleep the night of the party. i went with a walk with some of my buddies, one saying that he should be able to work it out with sara. but, hey, at least life is interesting. exams next week and study is one of the few things i've been able to concentrate on. so i should go alright. we ate $100 of junk food between us in one night. and drank $70 of grog. and i don't have a hangover. sweet. my eyes are squeaking when they move. and my tongue is yellow. i think that i need some sleep. the whitlams are cool.

I had the same situation last year with my friends Rob, Eric, and Derek and this one girl we all liked. Rob went for it, he got her, we initially hated him for it, but we're all good friends again. Of course, the girl turned out to be a real bitch and a turncoat and left Rob for her old boyfriend, who she'd left for Rob in the first place, but that's another story. Curses on her skinny ass. Stacy- Yepper. That's my favorite song, too. I just love the fact that it's a straight love song, which is cool coming from TMBG, although I've heard some hilarious interpretations of the lyrics. For instance, one thought I read said the song was about a sexual relationship with a purebred dog who was then sent off to stud named "Angel" or something. When people read just a LITTLE too much into a song... My long-smoldering love for TMBG is coming back with a naked frenzy, though. I'm going to see if I can get some decent piano transcriptions of some TMBG songs for my 4th marking period solo in chorale this year. That would certainly rock. Well, this whole x-rated report thing has really hit our country, for those non-Americans out there. As much as I wouldn't like to see it happen, I really think Clinton is going to get impeached/resign. It scares me a little because there's so much other shit going on in the world, but I hope we'll get through it. As far as the Beastie Boys' little "protest" thing on the MTV Video Awards the other night, it kinda made me smile when I read in numerous places that it was the same one they'd been giving on tour lately. Oh well, guys, it's the thought that counts. I'm heading to Sound Garden later today to see if I can't find Fear of Pop early like I did the new B&S last week. That would certainly be cool. I'll keep you posted. I noticed that the newest CMJ has nothing in there about a September 15 release, as has been rumored. Usually they're good about such things, although I realize some albums can be delayed/slip through the cracks. I'm hoping for it, since I had a weird dream involving FoP last night that I'm not going to get into right now. Needless to say it was odd. Well, I'm going to sign off now. I'm about to leave for that computer show, and then Sound Garden on the way back. Whee!

But let me tell you SFTD is not the best BFF song I have ever heard. I would much rather listen to another song. Brick has more meaning in it. Don't worry I am not a hugh Brick fan either. Umm I don't know about SFTD having a better video. I mean if it was a better video why didn't it get nominated? Oh yeah has anybody seen that Air single anywhere?? I heard there was one. I guess we will just have to find out. anyways I got work to do on my website. toodals Jason _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Well, possibly because it was only played like four times, total. Whereas Brick was such a huge thing that it became a national phenomenon...at any rate. It's not necessarily the quality of the song/video that makes it a nominee. It's how many people liked it. I can say without a doubt that there were amazing videos compared to the Madonna one, which was good in itself, that didn't get nominated at all. It also has something to do with MTV's long-running anti-Flansburgh stance. Don't ask me. :) ~Dan "Look, Mom!

It's less that I have an excuse and more that I don't have any BFF-related info! Not that it REALLY matters, but.... Classes are going well. I never have any homework except reading. All we do in class is discuss the reading. I love being a literature person. Many thanks to those of you who wished me a happy birthday! That was very nice, E, for you to say something, and I am TRULY sorry I didn't send you a card. :-( I spent the first part of the day going to class, attempting to get a job, etc. Spent the second half of the day (10pm to 6am? Is that a "second half of the day" time span?) having a very good time... Anne: Is really cool. So are a lot of you. I'm a dumb*ss, though, and forget to stay in contact. WE NEED A CONBENTION! Marcus-esque relationship tips: 1. If your significant other breaks up with you three times in two weeks, it doesn't necessarily mean s/he doesn't love you anymore. It can mean s/he is f*cked up in the head. Do one of two things: Run like hell or get psychiatric help. 2. While the phrase "Who's your daddy?" can be very funny in bed, gentlemen, it may make your partner laugh so hard you're not going to finish what you wanted to anyway. Be prepared for risk. Getting the new B&S CD in a few days care of CDNow! blah, blah. carrie ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1998 15:05:18 -0500 From: Vamprrella Subject: Re: La retour de Monsieur Boeuf-Tete Dan Cohen wrote: > I'm heading to Sound Garden later today to see if I can't find Fear of > Pop early like I did the new B&S last week.

I think I might've, but I forgot. Welcome, Jason! There's an Air single, and you can find it at www.CDNow.com.

BFFWEB.COM reports: "Ben Folds Five are selling their legendary yellow Ryder truck used in their first few years of touring. If interested, please contact the band's management at cecus@aol.com." Noooooo! Not the truck! No no no no no! Shouldn't it go in the Rock 'n' Roll Museum Hall of Fame or something? Some cheesy museum in Las Vegas? Part of Graceland? Anything but some snobby rich guy's living room...Please oh please let them donate the truck or the proceeds from selling the truck to charity or something. Argggggg.....this sucks. ~Kathryn ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1998 22:16:35 -0500 From: Clayton Smith Subject: the yellow truck is "the bomb" even though i have never seen it!!! boy was that a goofy subject line.......maybe theres somebody on the list that enjoys the thrill of owning a moving van that wants it.....its amazing that they fit all their stuff in a ryder van when some bands have an 18 wheeler for their crap and a tour bus for them......those crazy rich people... our newspaper (austin american-statesman decided to publish 18 pages of the starr report and 2 pages of rebuttal in a special section in the saturday paper. they claim that they have "Texas' most complete and detailed account of the starr report" all i have to say is that he said some damaging things from my brief skim of it and the cigar quote still scares me.....somebody should have enough decency not to do that.....cigars are nasty as it is..... Sara, our boy hater, you know you look at boys too....dont tell me you dont!! hehe (i just had to say somthing..i know it wasnt required of me, and it was a joke) so are Spence and Markus the resident women experts now....i never thought i would be the guy with the woman problems BUT, the girl i did like doesnt like me. I tried to pretend this didnt piss me off but it still did...on the up side the reason she doesnt is because she doesnt know me....i met her when school started and shes in a class of mine....so now i have to figure out how to get to know her...its all weird. Then there is another girl i like and its a whole mess. ok now that we got that out.....i am making a mix tape of music i listen too...its all kinds of bands...spence email me privately with your address so i can send it to you when its done....i got one side of it done i think....if anybody else wants to trade blind mixes of what kind of music they listen to let me know.....ill let you know when its done I GOT if your feeling sinister.....its pretty cool Clayton's advice on listening to somthing like B&S when your trying to pretend your ok with a girl not liking you.....DONT DO IT! same goes for angry music like NIN and metallica.......go get you some orange county ska, right Kathryn?? Jess said this to me and it made sense...she didnt say orange county...i just said that for Kathryn. or maybe a Beastie boys CD....beastie boys worked for me....if i lost you there read above but seriouly i got into it later on....a lot of it was awesome with me mad and now that my mind is clearer its getting really awesome, track and field, me and the major and the title track take the mad props right now markus how can one go about procuring a copy of some sinfrosa stuff....when i get funds i want to here that stuff School spirt is no good.....student council dance committe is to blame for my girl problems(shes not in student council but we danced at the dance)...i had to clean up at the dance too...i went because it makes me look good to my student council sponsor and she only lets the workers go to conventions...student council politics that im caught up in....why why why And that brings to an end another quality Clayton post, i try Clayton "its a mess" Smith "i kick it root down i put my root down, kick it root down i put my root down, so how we gonna kick it, gonna kick it root down" 10 points for the first one that can NAME THAT BAND (come on this ones eazy) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Sep 1998 23:22:59 EDT From: Sandibrady@aol.com Subject: Re: wait a minute...
