And I love it! I went and picked up FoP yesterday (you can breathe now, Kristin. ;> ) and I've fallen In Love. *gets promptly thwapped upside the head by the Pun Police* Ouch. Anyway, this album is just feckin' awesome. My favorite track is In Love. And as an Trekkie, I'm actually allowed to say that. ;) Anyway, I'm not going to pout and cry because I wasn't on the cool list. I mean, I'm the person who doles out cool points. If you want to be cool, I get the final say-so anyway. ;) Laters all!

Not only Sag but a cusper, so look out. Duplicitous as hell am I! Me too!!! ANNE: It's actually "bated breath", not "baited". It basically means restraint or control. To bate is to reduce the intensity of, got it?! "Cotton pickin'" basically means "damned", as in you've been damned to an afterlife of pickin' cotton. So there ya go...trivial matters? Just ask Markus. Though admittedly I'm not cool, I know a lot of banal shyte...a veritable fountain of useless information. I can even tell ya why birds sit on power lines in the winter!!! If anyone wants to give me a call, they'll hafta talk to my agent or publicist.

(anyone else see 'good news week' and amanda keller's comparison of the leonids with sex....?) anyway, it is with purpose that i enter this hallowed sanctum, to ask whether any of the aussies, nay queenslanders on the list live in, whoa, dare I ask, Ingham (above townsville, below cairns for those of you , who rather like me, had noooo idea where this was) I have a reason for asking this... must go and harrass some other people now lurk lurk lurk ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Nov 1998 02:22:46 -0500 From: Kristin Klevering Subject: Friday sucked Hi all - I am now thankful that I didn't end up going out with my Dad today. He understood my work situation, and being the loving workaholic that he is, was willing to reschedule. But, of course, with the holidays upcoming, we don't have a date set yet. But I will make sure that we do get together and go to the art museum, or something else, for an afternoon. He needs it as much as I do. But lately, my new position is so stressful that I did seriously think about walking out and never coming back. I told myself that if I could just hold out until lunch, and treat myself to a turkey burger (they are so yummy, and I crave them - one reason I could never leave that hospital is because I love their turkey burgers so much). So I held in there and had one, eating it with my favorite people who helped me de-stress. And things seemed much more manageable after that. I am so grateful to be dating a psychiatrist. Not that he's prescribing meds for me, and I'd never ask him to, but it's nice to know the option is there. He did buy me a book tonight and totally surprised me with it, the autobiography of Joyce Maynard, who had an affair with J.D Salinger (one of my favorite authors). I could just love him forever for that gesture, along with all of the crap he's listened to about my problems at work recently, and is still very sweet to me. Go figure. Eric - don't hunt me down! If you want a tape of the Fear Of Pop, let me know and I'll deliver it to your doorstep ASAP! But if you haven't bought it yet, go to Wherehouse, it's a lot cheaper there than what I paid at Tower. I find it so cute how you think I'm a blonde, and I don't see myself as such. I guess it's the highlights that I pay so much for to get touched up every few months... Where do you hang out at, in terms of coffee houses in A2? Let me know, so I can have a clue as to where to run into you sometime. You can email me privately about that issue. Listening to Fear of Pop again after I finally got some new batteries for my personal CD player. Still really like it. I'm into "Kops" lately as my favorite. Every time I hear it, I feel like Jamie Somers from the spinoff of the "Six Million Dollar Man". That song makes me want to go out and kick some repeat offender's ass! Won't try it, though, because I haven't been working out as much as I need to. Managed care sucks! - Kristin ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #312 *********************************
