Jordan, my man, my brother, my fellow lovelorn failure, let me say how sorry I feel for you and how much I understand. All of my friends are doing the same, at alarming rates really. It wouldn't be such a big deal if I had someone to be with, but I'm just becoming the outsider more and more. Part of it might have to do with the play. All of my circle of friends made the play, and I didn't. So, I've started to not be a part of their jokes and sayings, although I still hang out with them. It's hard to be the only one not laughing. Then there's the whole Bobby thing. Even though he could have just about any girl, he wants Olivia. He's much closer to Olivia's friend Holly than me, and he's used this to his advantage; Olivia is now part of the stage crew at a local theater company with him. I don't really feel like he's encroaching on my territory, since I don't own her, but I still wish he didn't do that. So Bobby and Olivia will hook up, I'm quite sure, since he adamantly wants her and he can make that happen, unlike me, everyone else already has someone, and I'll spend the winter depressed and alone in my room, watching TV on Saturday nights and talking online if possible. I don't ask for a social life at all, just someone for once who I can spend time with and get to know and who can understand me for who I am. I've never really been in a couple, to be honest. There was a time last year when it was close, but I really decided I was in it for no real reason and we disassociated ourselves anyway after a trip together, which was not a good thing. So that's that. I realized when I woke up today that it was November and that winter is, like, here. Snow forecasted for Wednesday. Time to go download Redhat 5.2. Woohah! ~Dan - -- "One thing appealed to me about BFF fans. There was no official "club". And some music monger wanted to change all that. And I'm PISSED OFF and it's time for a rap!" -Lucy "It's great that you love this band enough to want to do this, but in my opinion there is no need for a "fan club," especially not for a club with this kind of attitude." -Ginger "The Fan Club is stupid. And Erik is a ghetto boy." - Katie "I care more about the fans more than anything that is why I am doing this....."-Erik Sorenson ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Nov 1998 10:21:18 -0700 (MST) From: Stacy L Flatt Subject: allo Soooooooo........ Halloween, huh? muchas fun! I was a princess. I dressed up in this beautiful dress, and it had a big poofy skirt thing, it was awesome. Why don't girls wear those anymore? Well, a couple reasons. Its hard to sit down. You also can't stand close to people, which is quite a problem when you are at a party and people want to scoot by you. Cuz they can't! But it was a lot of fun. I had a couople drinks, including 2 jello shots. WooooHooo is that good stuff. Never had them before. Yummy yummy yummy, you don't taswte the alcohol at all. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. I guess I shouldn't complain about my situation too much considering all the single fjorders on this list, but even though I had a *ton* of fun, I would have had more fun if my boyfriend had been there. *sigh* Next halloween, huh? Another cool thing was that I went to the party with a bunch of people from Australia, Germany, and Poland, so it was their 1st time celebrating halloween! btw, as the night progressed and I spent more and more time with Nicole, Ben, and the other Australians, and as I felt the effects of the alochol more and more, I found myself talking in an australian accent! I *LOVE* their accents. =-) Ok, loves y'alls. Stacy btw whoever bought "spilt milk" (I erased the email! I forget!) you rock, I love Jellyfish. Spilt Milk is one of my fave albums. ooooh yeeeaaahhh. The last song, Brighter Day, I *love* it. And well, every other song on the album too. =-) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 01 Nov 1998 14:07:00 -0500 From: Jessica Brandt Subject: for a minute there i lost myself... i lost myself. Phew, for a minute there, i lost myself, i lost myself... you GOTTA love OK Computer. I know i do. mmmmm... Okay, well i am still deked out in my tattoos, most of which look incredibly fake because they are rubbing off. But God bless my Pinky tattoo! he still looks good. Anyhoo, check out the new Shrubbery. We've got Olly. We've got John Glenn. We've got Courtney on our side.

I had a great night yesterday, but I am indeedy paying the price today! I went to a couple of parties as a Zulu warrior, but here in Minnesota, it was a little cold in my costume. The price I'm paying include a stuffy nose and a sore throat. Fortunately there were no Bo Peep-ish murders at the U of M (some silly urban legend that everyone was worried about), just a whole bunch of drunken folks. Although I was surprised at the number of Monica Lewinski costumes out there (I didn't see any!). I did buy Jump, Little Children last week, but the CD wasn't manufactured right and it would hit the side of my player and begin to skip, so luckily Cheapo took it back and ordered another copy. I like it so far. A couple of nights ago at U-SWING, I spotted some girl with an orange shirt on, but I didn't think a whole lot of it until she had her back to me and I saw the tell-tale baby grand w/ the words "we can be happy underground". I approached the woman (girl?) and inquired to whether she was Hannah (yes, the missing hannah) who I've tried to meet many a time at the U. She gave me a funny look and said "uh, no, sorry" and walked away. Not the level of friendliness I'm used to from BeFeFe ers. I've been eating everlasting Gobstoppers for the whole weekend, Red is by far my favorite flavor (color?). Ish, I have way too much homework to do that hasn't been done yet. Well, back into the fray I guess. Tom ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 1 Nov 1998 18:57:03 EST From: Sandibrady@aol.com Subject: Californ-i-a I'm on the plane headed home to Chapel Hill. I didn't get to see Courtney or Kathryn or anybody because I chose to leave this morning (Sunday) as planned instead of paying the $75 fee to change my flight to Monday. Ugh. I did make it up to LA though...and had a short visit with a few friends...so that was nice. Hung out in Studio City, Hollywood, and Topanga and went to some Halloween parties in Hollywood, Echo Park, Studio City, etc. I saw a guy at one of the parties who looked JUST like Elliot Smith...could have been I suppose...the people I was with are musicans so these were basically musician parties. Lots of familiar faces, but I couldn't place any of them....no Tommy Lee or Nikki Sixx or anything like that. boo. I hadn't planned on spending Halloween anywhere but in the hotel room with Sasha, so I didn't have a costume.... wound up wearing some shorts, a short shirt that showed my belly, big Nike socks that fell about 2 inches below my knee, sneakers, and a borrowed Imperial Drag boxing robe...along with a black eye and tape up hands. Worked out pretty well for last minute (threw it together in about 5 minutes). Had a lot of fun. :) No big news on my end....hope my cutie back home hasn't forgotten about me while I was gone... Ahhh! Food! Gotta go.

So, Stay-Cee, is going to make like her old High School nick-name Stay-Seated, and is going to stay here til she finishes. Wel,l except to refil on caffine. Not too much.

This silly paper is due in 11 hours and 30 min. No problem. Bentent. If I owned my own tent, I would name it Ben, and then I would always have Bentent. New album New Album, I need a new album. I haven't purposly gone on a BFF hiatus. But I guess osme of you have. But the thing is, I haven't listened in a long while. not since my car was new (to me) back in May. Since then, I've really only listened to BFF one song a week when I play one BFF song on my radio show. I gues it will make it that much sweeter when the new BFF album comes out, huh? Tues morning I leave for NYC. ohmyfreakinggosh, I cannot wait!!!!!!!! Ok, that was my little break. Now I can work on my paper some more. yay all nighrers!
