I went home to Chicago, home of damn good blues and pizza, both of which I've partaken in the past few days. Anyway, I will not bore you all with the stories of my family and friends, but I will tell this funny little story: I am sort of blind without my glasses on. I had been taking a nap on our family room couch (sans glasses, of course) when the phone rang. It was my boyfriend, and as I was chatting with him, I was flipping through channels with the TV on mute. One had a lanky man with light brown hair standing up and playing a grand piano. "Ben Folds is on TV! Ben Folds is on TV!" I screamed. I put on my glasses. "Oh, wait, that's Dana Carvey. Never mind. " cheers, Katy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 20:45:02 EST From: Vwbugn5890@aol.com Subject: this was a weird weekend friday night i went to a party for three of my friends. two that moved away came back to town for thanksgiving and one that had been in a car wreck and broke both his legs along with various other bones in his body can now walk, so we were all happy and celebrating. i picked up one of my friends (adam) that moved to texas and when we got to my car and he saw my bff sticker he said "of course...bff...some things never change around here." as expected, there was liquor at the party. so everyone was drinking and smoking. my friend and adam and i all spent the night at my best friend's house (where the party was). so my other friend and my best friend went to bed immediately, but adam and i stayed up and were playing nintendo or something like that, i don't remember what it was. so we're just sitting there for awhile and then adam decides he's gonna kiss me. now i used to like adam a long time ago. so this is exactly what i wanted to happen...only like six months ago. so then we go to sleep on this couch and we don't talk in the morning cause i had to leave early and he went back to texas that day. so then today my best friend tells me adam has a girlfriend. she says i should feel good that he wants to kiss me even though he has a girlfriend. i'm like great now i feel guilty for this. and now i'm so confused.... i mean does he really like me? or is he just (excuse me, i hate this expression, but for lack of a better one...) "playing" me? and if he does like me...where is this gonna go? i can't date someone in texas....that's way too far for me...i couldn't handle that...i don't know...i'm so confused now... oh...and concerning bff and their interference in relationships (or lack thereof)... my ex and i had no trouble with this. we met at a bff show on valentine's day. so the whole music thing really worked out well for us...unfortunately not everything else did :) my sister's boyfriend said beck went to my high school. he says he has the yearbook to prove it too. i don't beleive him, but that's ok. ok...hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving. i did...dinner was good only the deserts were a disaster. everyone said "would you like a little titanic? or we have the lucitania over here... " whew! that was a long post... shan "I never stop to ask and never wonder why" ~ Buck O Nine ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 21:40:13 EST From: jaedonely@juno.com Subject: Why do you build me up, buttercup baby? Hey guys, I threw my hat into the realm of romantic daredevils today- and I think I failed, I guess. I had to go to the big party(I [sob] USED to work there. no biggie, actually, but being 'fired' the very concept does suck) to buy some stuff for school. And the kid who was @ the cash register was this kid John, who I wanted. I liked him, and I hadnt seen him for a month. Hes a cutie, in fact. So I started talking to him about Theres Something About Mary, which is at the dollar cinema down the street, and I invited him to go see it with me and my best friend. It was pretty vauge, though, I said I meet him there "its a small theatre" and when I get in, the place is filled with 50 people. But he didnt show up, anyway, and I dont feel horrible about it, but I feel bad, but the plans were vauge. But...what do I do about the inevitable akwardness if I see him again? Do I continue to pursue? There is palpable sexual tension between us, and I would like to pursue that, if you know what I mean. Hell, my room has just trandescended the mere title of room, and now its a "boduior!" Whoo hoo!! So, obviously, I need advice. And I dont think hes totally uninterested, because I asked him out like a total dork and it was very vauge, but hey, I really like him. Thank you. Who gets to play "American Music" by the Violent Femmes on the school loudspeaker tomorrow? Oh... yeah! Man, I was all worked up, too, having listened to the new Afghan Whigs cd all day, and the fact that I decided to STOP being holy, chaste and pure. God, Greg Dulli sucks. Why is his album all about sex? Is the debut album by Rasputina groovy? Is it worth buying? So many questions, looking for the answers..... ~Elisabeth ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

A big element of my play is that the personal side of things can sometimes overwhelm everything else when your travelling, so it all ties in.... jordan: >someone say something nice about the boy from >oz, now please? love peter allen, shame about the death thing fop: $30 was too much for an album that's only good-ish in parts. still i like it I guess. nuff said ahhhh nup not quite done actually. sandi was right on the nail with everything she said about 'root to this' (frally's voice just doesnt do it for me) so... anyone in oz going to see 'occasional coarse language'? look for douglas mcnulty's name in the thank you credits right at the end, he's a pal o mine and... I'm going on the dole! social security here I come...
