Subject: don't i just have an interesting life? hey mine fjords, well, today was interesting, to say the least. one, i have developed a faculty to summon fl. that will be handy, the next time i get beaten up walking down the street for wearing my kiss my ass shirt. yeah, armidale is a really progressive place, you know? two, i get a lot of respect from people i don't know recently, who say that i an in a very good mood. gee, i don't know why. we got mallrats, as i find that it is the easiest for people who haven't seen kevin smith movies before. me and ish were just cracking up. it was cool, tho, to watch people's reaction to it. i enjoyed myself. however, there was some tension with me and another guy. you see, he apparently asked sara out today and got knocked back. so two of the people i asked to come were kinda, well, cold. plus sara kept making eyes at me, you know the ones like from anime flix? wide, deep and pretty. sigh... so he wasn't in the best of moods and sara who kept flirting with me and ignoring him didn't help. so sara left as she was feeling uncomfortable with the whole thing. boohoo. but it was okay, i guess. i have extreme gushing going on. watch this. i was watching the commonwealth games and the swimming was last night. the first swimmer was sara hopkins, the second was rebecca creedy. sara creedy. ker-ching. markus, i almost thought that you were throwing back to the 70's. steadying? rofl. maybe i should be rocking the boat.. erik, that was basically the most eloquent exposition on the human situation i have ever heard. you rawk. court, your dad is the coolest! dan, you go, son. you and the foreign exchange (why does that sound like the bloody money markets. i didn't study too hard for economics, did i. natch). you're in, buuuuuuuuuuddy. kristen, i'm happy that got sorted out. love ya, mate. Anoop! yeah! let's do it! i'm in, my friend. the madcow's corner of the files... i like the sound of that. plus you better keep posting. :) i'm glad that dan and i are keeping you entertained, taves. no really i mean it. ;) Jordan _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

First first first: Dan.. i read your emails and kept on going.. if i could i would give him a hug to cheer him up. then we got your happy email so i'm feeling better. i hardly post here, don't really know anyof you. but you all make me feel like .. oh i dont know.

But i have and it sucks esp seeing as he lives in america and im in australia. i urge you all to avoid this! Damm those smart witty intelligent people wih great music talent! Umm bentent bentent bentent.. oh god no bentent but i could tell an amusing tale. Wel i thought it was amusing. Before the last bf5 gig in adelaide, me and some friends were waiting outside thebarton theatre where it was being held waiting for various bf5 members to arrive so we could acost them and demand they sign things. so there we were and me being me started drooling about robert. then suddenly it got onto robert's weight changes and me defending him (hes always good looking no matter what). when one of my friends looks over my shoulder and goes 'isnt that robert over there'. then we went back to discussing how thin he was now. undoubtabnly he overheard us because he gave us a funny look when he headed our way and we went to accost him. But he was stil nice... ~fin~ lexie ~lexie when are you going to retun ben fodls five live at teh wireless?

Is that I wrote her offering to have ten guys on his doorstep with bats and chains. ;) Anyway, just want to thank Kristin for the props. It feels good to be appreciated. Anyway, as long as I'm on the love trip, let me do my Loveline impersonation and tackle Dan. *comes hurtling through the air and lands on the unfortunate boy* What are you doing, man! You've got a beautiful girl throwing herself at you! It doesn't matter if she's just messing with your mind right now, do you realize how rare of an opportunity this is? Go for it! Carpe diem, gambatte, and all that rot. ;) Okay, well, that's it for this show. Next one's tommorow, and I take all comers, especially beautiful young girls who are looking for the perfect guy. Y'see, I'm not Mr. Right, but I do have him chained up in my basement. ;) Laters all! Hail Eris!

I thought a little nonsensical Duran Duran would brighten up your day... I know it's already brightened up my own! Hey man! I thought this was the Rockford Files, not the Love Boat! *grin* Just kidding! Seriously, though... all this talk about love lost and regained and crushes on classmates and back tickling is bringing me back to my own single days! Ahhhhh.. those were the days! Paranoia reigned supreme while I spent my every weekend dousing my fear of my own inadequacy in pints of ale. Ahhhhhhh... the good ol' days! *grin* Naw, I'm just joshing ya! It wasn't *every* weekend... E: You are dead on, pretty much. I've been there, done that... that is for sure. Looking back on single life... it is easy to see how confusing it can get... For example: a few folks mentioned the "I love you" conundrum. It's what Seinfeld would call "hand"... for some reason... the person who says "I love you" last gets hand... they are the ones with the power... supposedly. But of course, you can regain hand with the preemptive breakup. Which, maybe, these guys (Carrie and Kristin) were doing unconsciously... I know that not a few of my relationships were all about power EVEN THOUGH we truly loved each other. Of course, from afar, it seems silly. But I'm not so far removed that I can't remember how unsilly it was at the time. And how confusing it all was... in all of my on-again, off-again relationships I remember thinking to myself "if he loves me and I love him and we have fun together and we have great conversations... then why are we breaking up?" I guess it's that whole human thing of staring at the future and hoping to predict what will happen (Don't believe me? Have you ever seen a newspaper without a horoscope? And think about how much money the psychic business takes in...). So instead of it being an issue of "we love each other and get along well and have fun" it becomes an issue of "we love each other and get along well and have fun but how long will that really last anyway?" People start to second guess themselves (the "she's the one and I'm not even ready for her yet!" syndrome that Carrie mentioned is a prime example). And of course, that's when all the problems start... "does she really love me?" "does he want to marry me eventually?" "she's pressuring me to be more for her than I want to be" and so on and such. Well, that's enough annebling for now. Anyway... I'm happy to hear about all your happy relationships... for those of you still in high school... lemme just say that it seems like yesterday that I was sitting in he cafe during lunch thinking to myself... "Damn! More eye contact with Rich! Maybe he really *does* like me!" And it was such a sweet moment. Nothing came of the repeated eye contact until a few years later when he had already graduated high school... which is when we dated for a bit. Later, I found out that Rich was a stalker who woke up my parents screaming "SLUT!" outside my house. To me, Rich pretty much epitomizes those moments of pure joy/fear in high school where you think to yourself "could it be?" Later, you realize that hoping that it will coming true and it coming true are two very different things. Don't get me wrong... some realities are better than the dream. My high school love John was one of those few unexpected revelations that you are blessed with in a lifetime. But the joy/fear of "could it be?" is rarely matched emotionally later in life... Of course, I am dwelling in all of this because it is a mere two weeks until my 10 year high school reunion. Boy, am I old or what? Enough philosophy for now... Hey! Inadvertent BFF content... or inadbentent for short... Have a great weekend, y'all! - -Anne > Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand. > Just like that river twisting through a dusty land. > "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 10:07:48 +1000 From: Kate_Watkins%HBH@themis.com.au Subject: That song Well, the assignment is done, the sleep has happened and now I am ready to party!!! (thank god it's Friday!!!) Anyway, in the meantime, although I am yet to read the RF's from the last week, I thought I would post :o) Jordan - Oh, I hate you for doing this to me.... I should know the name of that song.... I know it's by The Whitlams..... I am pretty sure it is on Undeniably (I have that and Introducing but I don't have Eternal Nightcap - the ex nicked it :( ...... but I have no idea what it is called coz I don't have the inserts from my CD's. I gave them to a friend of mine who is in a band who was supporting The Whitties to get them signed and I have not got them back yet :( I can sing it for you though!!!! Do I get 5 points and 5 litres of baskin robins??? I don't need the gold star - it is already on my forehead :o) Jordan again: all I can say is go for it. Trust me on this. You don't want to have my post-high school experience of meeting the member of the opposite sex you had a huge crush on in high school later with his fiance and have him (or in your case her) tell you that he (or she) had a huge crush on you in high school but thought you only liked him (or her) as a friend. :( And you can NEVER GO BACK!!!! (oh - hang on, this is MY life not yours.... just ask her out okay???) Dan: How is it going in exotica?? How come you have so many exchange students at your school? We were lucky if we managed one a year in the entire school at my school!!!!! Mind you the French boy in Vanuatu made up for it...... but that's another story!!! Anne: <> Oh I've seen them!!! They are freaky huh!!! I mean why go to a gym if you are not going to get up enough sweat to get rid of any makeup??? But then you are talking to the girl who only goes to the gym if she can swim afterwards..... (love that water after exercise thing!!!) which of course removes any makeup not already sweated off!!! Actually, I prefer to just do the swimming thing without the gym beforehand if I am able to get away with it!! Katie: was there a point to your aluminium foil story??? :o) BTW did you know that we Aussies pronounce that al-um-in-i-um (with the "in" being the stressed part), while I understand from the USofAers I have met that you guys pronounce it al-oom-in-um (with the "oom" being the stressed part). Took me ages to work out what they were talking about..... Kristin: Sorry to hear about you breaking up with your boyfriend. Don't worry, it's obviously his loss, not yours. Does that make you feel better??? Hope so. It always worked for me. BTW Brick works wonders for making you cry out any pent up angst. Then you should move on to SFTD to get out any anger, then Julianne for the "don't give a shit" phase and finally "Underground" for the happy upbeat post-Bf phase. Well, that works for me, and in fact did about 3 months ago, but it was not as long a relationship as yours and consequently probably took a lot less time to get over - I am already looking at a certain other little fish in the sea......hmmmmmm - sorry lost in thought there for a second. :o) Anyway, better choofle on off and do some work. Just thought I would let everyone know that organising hen's nights sucks severley and I can't wait until the whole bloody wedding is over!!!! But despite all of that, I'm Happy!!!!!! Later, Kate. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 07:57:55 -0700 From: "Kamp, Marcus S" Subject: I have a phone that doesn't ring... ...A line that doesn't sting, a letter never sent. I have a dream where snowflakes fall inside a painted hall, but that don't pay the rent! So, I realize that I've made mention of The Mystery Woman but only a few of you know the John Hughesian story that is my life, so here goes. I figger since I know everything about Kristin, Carrie, Dan, & Jordan's sort of love lives, you should all know mine...or this facet of it, anyway. About 6 weeks ago I started filling in for an editor in a different Boeing location. Towards the end of my 1st week here, this amazing specimen of a woman (tall, thin, athletic, lightly tanned, very short brown hair, perfect skin...mmm!) came into our area & spoke to a co-worker (Dawn) about having a document done. I was instantly smitten, which does NOT happen to me (in spite of my newly gained renown as a fishbowler...grr!), but I was on hold on the phone so I couldn't sneak a peek @ her badge. A wee tad bit later, Dawn walked by my desk & I so cleverly said, "that woman who was talking to you earlier w/the short brown hair sure looked familiar, but I can't quite place the name." "Oh, Sheri Henriksen," she said, as if following the script I'd written in my devious little fishbowler brain. "She's really nice." "No, that doesn't ring a bell," said I, feigning confusion to cover up my internal "mwah-hah-hah, now she will be mine!" (To help out my little plan, the office admin interjected, again as if reading my covert script, "I thought she looked familiar the 1st time I met her, too." Mwah-hah-hah!!!) To Bat-Boeing's Bat-e-mail Bat-address Bat-book, Robin! I looked her up & dropped her an innocent-sounding introductory e-mail, to which she responded quite friendly, & we really started to hit it off. In a Dan/Jordan-esque moment of self-doubt, I thought, "no way is this happening...no way does a gorgeous, perfect woman find me interesting." (Spencer, a little foreshadowing music, please!) We made plans to go to lunch together a few days later, and on the day in question, I received an e-mail from supposed Lady Love, in which she said, "sorry I didn't say hi when I was in your area this morning." "I didn't even see you," I fired back. As I clicked the handy little yellow-envelope of the Microsoft Exchange send button, it dawned on me that there had been a cute (but not stunningly perfect) blonde in our area that morning, who had also been in our area on the day of The Sighting...Dawn gave me the name of the wrong woman!!! I clearly said "short brown hair", but NO, this one had shoulder-length blonde hair...not even close. DARRGGH!!! I sent her another e-mail covering my faux pas..."I DID see you in here, but didn't realize it was you...guess I'm sleepy this morning!"...and have since spent most of my time wondering who the real Mystery Woman is. The last few weeks have been filled w/humorous little scenes of TMW & I literally running into each other, all of which happen w/such rapidity that I never get a chance to read her badge...the other day I even summoned the courage to waltz into her area & try to scoop her name from her desk, when all of a sudden she came around a corner & ran into me...DARRGGH!!! I WILL meet this woman...just you mark my words. Markus's advice, part 561: If you have a chance to have sex w/an ex-boy/girlfriend that you genuinely like (even as friends) but haven't seen in over a year, I say go for it. You'll either discover that you should still be together or that you should really just be friends...either way, hey, @ least ya score>:-)!!! (Sorry this post is so long...no, I'm not...I take the time to read all of your posts, so you can read mine...tough sh*t, deal w/it:-)!) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 16:16:23 EDT From: F2G2@aol.com Subject: welcome to your world. what are ye gonna do with it? sandman and neil gaiman. 2 thumbs up, to quote a fat and bald critical tag- team. boys in love: carpe diem, dammit. if you want something to happen, make it happen........daydreaming is all well and good, but........jesus. i am well aware of the fact relationships are a bizarre and complicated beast. most everyone feels that way, but we all need to have them. matthew's advice, pt. 312: attempt to be teflon. by this i mean: cause as little emotional trauma to yourself and those around you as possible, but do have fun. next conBENtion. must happen in spring or summertime. everyone, bring your balls, bats and gloves.

It was on a laptop computer while I was driving, slammin' down a 40 oz. of 'Kick Yo' Ass' malt liquor while all the time applying scotch tape to the ankles of a prepubescent raccoon who could not pronounce the word 'aluminum'.

Corden ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 18:33:21 -0400 From: Dan Cohen Subject: Fridays make me wanna do the Funky Watusi Indeed they do. After my mall update thingy of last night, I'm sure y'all are in suspense. To be honest, today wasn't the most eventful day, but it had its moments. French was first...Julia's class. Noticed she got a C+ on the latest quiz, which was present-tense verbs, a piece of cake. To compensate, Mme. Gordon is now putting the French-language infinitives on all the exams. Cake mushed up in a blender to make it an easily digestible goo. I vowed once again to become her helper extraordinaire should the current Olivia thing not pan out. Next up was Chorale. This was something I was dreading, but surprisingly my friends weren't hobags. We may be going out tonight, in fact. My friend Joe has to call me and tell me what everyone's doing. Then Performing Arts...the Olivia class. Hoo-yah. Bobby, Tricia, and I were singing from "Godspell" quite badly (the Jesus verse of "Turn Back O Man") and Olivia walked by and did the ass-grab thing in public! Whee! In oh-so-typical Dan Cohen cool, I screamed "AAAGH!", whirled around, and then said suavely, "Hey there." Damn, I'm smooth. Now, realize that I haven't told anyone at my school about this simply because I want to give it time, I guess. It was funny today. Greg Zalizniak and Mike Andrianos were trying their best to be pimp daddies with Olivia and Helena with less-than-successful results. I was making eye contact with her at lunch (different tables, natch) all period and I noticed that she was clowning around with Olivier, the French male who's a bit of a twerp, in a way awful similar to what she's doing with me. I don't know, though. She's more flirty my way but she was whacking him with a Fruitopia bottle all period and throwing tater tots as well. I might be spinning that my way, but can you blame me? I walk by her locker a lot. I have a decent excuse though. The back stairs are a lot less crowded than the front. Heh. I do need a life. I think I'm going to get her number next week if she keeps being interested and ask her out on a walk or something Saturday. If I'd have had more time, I'd have bought her a lemonade or something last night. Her host father is very nice...after the kiss she introduced me as "my friend Dan, the nice boy in Health class who always explains everything to me". It was awkward as hell, though. We couldn't exactly do anything besides shake hands with the paternal unit there and all. Marcus...You must find this mystery woman simply because everyone on this list must be smitten soon. If y'all get significant others, we can have double the pleasure, double the fun, etc. at rfCON 1999. The official suburban ghetto boy. ~Dan "Son, I have four words for you, that will shape your life and make you infinitely wise... Don't drop the soap." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 21:23:00 -0400 From: Kristin Klevering Subject: Roses and all I wanted to thank you all for your support and caring after my post about my boyfriend breaking up with me. I was so touched that so many of you cared enough to respond (I suffer from low self-esteem, obviously). We're back together and doing well, but it's going to be a while before I trust him like I did before. Erik - I do think your "ANNEalysis" was right on, from what he said when I called him back after he'd left 2 messages when I got home from work. I do agree it's hard to find a "soul mate". He's admitted he was stupid doing what he did in breaking up with me abruptly without thinking it through, but I think in the end he's gained some insight. I'm not perfect, and neither is he, but we work better together than either of us did before we did before we got together. Dan - you weren't the first to suggest my listening to "I Will Survive" - I agree with that wholeheartedly. Luckily, this guy had enough sense to realize that I don't want to get married anytime soon, I just want to be with him. Good luck in your romantic endeavors - I've enjoyed your posts tremendously, and am eagerly awaiting to see what will happen with these exchange students in the end. Carrie - Thanks for telling your story, it really helped me gain perspective. It's so weird how you are going through the same thing at your age, 20 , and my age, 29. I'm not ready to get married, but it's something I have to keep in the forefront when I enter into any relationship at my age, since I do want to get married someday and have kids. Your relationship sounds very similar to mine, and I thank you so much for your wishes for me (* gush*). Anoop - I thought I was the only one who used the term "cool beans"! You rock! When I went into my office today after dealing with a very frustrating patient situation (I'm a social worker at a veterans hospital), I found a dozen yellow roses in a vase on my desk (I'm as obsessed with the color yellow as I am with BFF)! I read the card, and it said, simply "I'm sorry". I think he's worth keeping, expecially after doing that (which I'm sure cost him a pretty penny). I know now that he responds well to guilt, and I hope I don't abuse that knowledge. I try to be a nice person, but I do have an evil streak that I have to continually beat into submission. Thanks again all - Kristin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Sep 1998 23:49:37 -0400 From: Dan Cohen Subject: Friends, Apache, Olivia, Fighting, Justin Bird's Car and Much, Much More Hey all. Interesting night tonight. First off, I found out that my friends rock. They actually thought of me tonight for the first time in a while, although I wasn't home when they all called. More on that later. I feel very relieved that I'm still accepted. Apache rocks, too. I didn't know it was out for Windows, but apparently it is, and until one of my sisters/mom clicks off on the DOS console window, I've got a test page up at http://24.92.251.19 with links to some favorites of mine. Check it out and tell me it works, please. It's much easier and better than IIS and/or PWS. Olivia? Well, she rocks as well. I don't need to start on that. I didn't see her at the mall tonight, though (still more on that later). The Fight...my mom and I got into it tonight over some stupidity and I left. We're very close, so as I neared the mall, which is where I thought I'd call some friends and start discussing matters, I started to cry a little as I realized that it was such a nasty debacle. So I go see Bobby (Guido) at Aussie Outfitters and tell him the whole story, making a scene, and he doesn't care. He kicks ass. My friends called up when I wasn't there. Apparently they were at Rob's, which is always a trip since he has a huge pool table and a massive sound system. Beastie fever! We'll prolly get together tomorrow. Justin Bird's Car...it's small. It's a Volkswagen Fox. But since he and I, who were once bitter enemies, are now on good terms, I'll get rides home in it. He had a really good Counting Crows bootleg in I'd never heard before. I'm not a big fan but some of their songs are quite catchy. Kristin Klevering...really, you have a very considerate boyfriend if he did that. Yellow roses are fuckin' expensive, esp. a dozen thereof. You must mean a lot to him. Just be careful if he's going to play around with you. Lucy...there's nothing wrong with playing a boy. Mary Martin made a career of it. I'll find out Monday if I made the play(s). I almost know I did, but you never can be sure. The usual people almost always get leads, so I should be a happy tiger after another bout with Olivia in Health and a cast meeting Monday night. I think I messed up my collarbone in Performing Arts today. I did a stunt where this girl threw me through a couple of music stands. She didn't want to do it, but since I really don't care about pain and danger and stuff (and the exchange students were watching:), I made her. Only problem was that I landed hard on one of the stands and now I'm all sore. I hope the pain stops, since we have to perform the skit Tuesday. At least it wasn't my nose again... ~Dan "We raced up and down the sidewalk twenty thousand million times..." ps. Even though I distinctly heard Olivia singing 5ive's "When the Lights Go Down" in Health once, this WILL be Our Song... pps. Cool fact...she's a senior, I'm a junior...can you say two proms for me? ppps. There was multiple Annetent today! Yay, fellow tubing prodigy! =) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 01:22:34 -0400 From: Ginger Nance Subject: just for jordan! Well, since Jordan is such a nice lad and he asked me to post, I will. Even though I'm a little late! :) Hmm. I hate to be negative but I think Fear of Pop is going to..well, suck. Or at least be disappointing. I can't see Ben doing this whole electronica-club kind of thing...maybe I'll be proven wrong. I saw Rounders tonight. Me like Ed Norton and Matt Damon! I also hate rude waiters who treat me and my friends like crap just b/c we're college students. Grr! Many people have heard me gripe about my current roommate problems, and I would just like to thank y'all for your support. Now if I can only get up the nerve to confront her! Scott and Sandi and I are going to see Belle and Sebastian in DC! How fun will that be?!?! You wouldn't believe the traffic my website has gotten since that damn Philly News article. I got over 100 hits in 4 days. I never get that many visits! My friends and family think it's freakin' hilarious that I was chosen as the Old Navy poster girl or whatever. Hmm. I think I'm about done rambling today. Hope you enjoyed, Jordan! :) Ginger :) Ginger Nance ginger_nance@unc.edu http://www.unc.edu/~gnance ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #249 *********************************
