Subject: we were quiet, weren't we? a disturbing lack of any communication yesterday, people. not even anyone telling to shut up. speak up, you guys! i don't care if it's drivel, drivel is GOOD! all this lurking is bad for me. i keep thinking that i'm scaring all you guys off. prove me wrong, please. in other news, i'm quite annoyed. get invited to watch meg sing in the sing 2000 choir at Carols by Candlelight (by Meg herself, mind you), and it pisses down freaking rain. bad. i wanted to see her..... :( wow, that sounds dependant. actually, i really would have enjoyed the carols, the extracurricular activies :) and the camradie. and i missed out on tennis. Erik, what happened to your monday post? it never happened. can i please have a post today, instead? and i want to hear from everyone else, too. i miss you guys...

I like the peanut butter gambit better (gives you something to eat when you get the munchies) however, you should be bemused to hear that I am unashamedly stealing the drugs idea as part of my plot. suddenly my play has an undercover cop in it, who may actually be an agent of asio (our cia in australia) this is getting silly... jordan: I spy in my little eye that those lyrics are not from machinegun fellatio (or maybe they are as well...) but rather from tim and co at the whitlams. Thanks for the nice comments btw, and as for stevie, stevie sooooo rocked. and furthermore, (whoa, there's an essay flashback) isnt ben lee predicted to be an upcoming talent as a song writer?? in general: i cant believe the negotiator left the cinemas before I got to see it. It would be weird to get my kevin fix via his voice in 'bugs', but maybe it'll have to do. hey all: forgive me for being bentent but I'm on the campaign trail: vote for bff in the triple j hottest 100 the site is at in fact you can vote more than once as long as it isnt for the same song (its once a week or something, see the site) although I'm sick to my teeth of brick, it is likely to do the best, so let's vote for steven's last night in town instead. ah heck vote for what you like. you dont have to be from australia, you can be from anywhere. apparently my dad earns too much for me to get the youth allowance (which is ludicrous, but his salary isnt even listed on the parents allowance thing, scary) in fact it's ludicrous that your parent's salary matters. however when I'm 21 (29th baby, and every one of my muther-kissing best friends is away, damn them to hell. I .cannot. have a party without the people I am best buddies with) I can get newstart, but frankly I want a job wayyyyy before then. I want a job now. bitch bitch whinge whinge. seriously I'm depressed about this. It'll be my 21st b'day, it has to be special, and my buddies are deserting me for sydney adn the like. my parents were very inconsiderate when they let me be born at this time of year. I could just cry. would you buy a rug from this woman? well frankly I hope I get the rug job, I need the money. however, the private school english teaching job near the gold coast woudl be even yummier. mind you I hate teaching still. taves 'i got two pale hands up against the window pane I'm burning with the heat of my need again (or something like that) .... I'm totally addicted to bass' josh abrahams and unpronoucable girlys name ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Dec 1998 04:37:03 -0500 (EST) From: KDEMCAK@WELLESLEY.EDU Subject: tuesday bologna Well, I will post too, and maybe we will have another early morning/late-night frenzy... A big warm fuzzy to the rest of you who are suffering through finals right now.... it's a hellish couple of weeks, but really such a small price to pay for such a charmed existence. I wrote a review of Fear of Pop for my newspaper.... I don't think it's really anything that will ever make my heavy rotation, but it's fun to listen to a couple of times, anyway. check out this site for the true meaning of "rudolph the red-nosed reindeer: http://wilbur.wellesley.edu/a-m/kdemcak/rudolph.html I am so out of it now that this is so stream of consciousness... but I will add that I am another Bostonian, at least temporary one for the 9 months out of the year I am at school. cheers, Katy ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Dec 1998 07:12:35 EST From: jaedonely@juno.com Subject: Things that suck and things that don't. Hey, isnt there a they might be giants song about james k polk? Last night's episode of Buffy the vampire slayer uncharacteristically sucked. A lot. In fact, I do believe that it was the worst episode I had seen. It was BORING beyond belief, and there was a distinct lack of the vim and vigor that makes Buffy the great show it is. I love the fact that the year end issues of things are coming out now. Especialy SPIN and Rolling Stone. Here's my top list. (Yeah!) Song of the year- (booty shakin')-The Rockafeller Skank, Fatboy Slim (would be kickass MUSAK in 20 years, a true masterpice of lyrics and melody) Waltz #2, Elliott Smith Movie of the year? The Truman Show has been my favorite movie so far, but I don't loooove it, Movie of last year? (1997) The Sweet Hereafter. Haunting! So good in a movie theatre. I dont know about you guys, but when Im sick I compusively check my email. That sucks. When you start checking it onthe hour, especially when youre expecting one, and you get that lonely little 0 messages sent 0 recieved. I had to write an xmas story for english for a six year old named piper- I wrote it about Freddie the Fruitcake, who no one loved, until a fabulous little girl named, Piper(!), foud him.=) I even wrote a song about Freddie theFruitcake, and it goes to the tune of Minnie The Moocher.=) ~Elisabeth ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

So, I made a shocking discovery while home sick yesterday. During the daytime, Mtv plays these odd little short films that feature musicians of varying style, interesting graphic images, and even some compelling music. They kept referring to them as "music videos". I wonder if that's why the 'M' in "Mtv" stands for "music". I always wondered what the word "music" had to do with Real World, Road Rules, and general Backstreet Boy mayhem! Fascinating!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Dec 1998 20:40:37 EST From: Eriklyons1@aol.com Subject: silent passing those of you who have been around and not yet felt compelled to jump ship, pat yourselves on the back (or each others' back) and wish yourself a happy 1st fjordian birthday. who'da thunk it? one whole year. thatz like 20 in dog years.... welcome to volume two of the rockford files. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1998 00:22:07 -0500 From: Spencer Corden Subject: Happy Birthday, RF!!!! OK, listen up. I don't get sentimental often. But, it was almost exactly one year ago that I put away my childish toys (The MA), and subscribed to the not-then-even-a-list-serv Rockford Files. The earlist issue I have in my personal archives is Issue 021 from Jan. 27, 1998. At the time there were 48 members, including our beloved FL. For any of you with a nostaglic bone in your body (No jokes, Anne...), here's a recap of the issue. 1. Anne was analysing dreams (no surprise) 2. Markus posted the first post of the digest that day. 3. Scott Schneider was a regular poster. 4. Markus made a 2nd post about a 10th year reunion and being old. 5. Little Kate wasn't even born yet. 6. The Cubs were hoping for a World Series title. hehehehehe.... 7. Seinfeld was still in its last season. 8. The snow at my place was higher than a midget's ass. 9. matthew was higher than a cheech & chong audience. 10. The 'T' on David Holloway's keyboard wasn't working. 11. OAD was hittin' the charts. 12. Tennessee got taken to the woodshed by Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. 13. We were trying to declare class titles within 'The Files'. 14. I posted in self pity while starting my 3rd martini of the night. Makes me cry just thinking about it. I mean, I wish I had a martini right now. SO......HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RF! THANKS A TON, FL!! WE ALL DIG YOUR VALIANT EFFORTS, DON'T WE, FOLKS????? So now, every damn one of you, lurkers and all, should post and thank the man from Illinois who made it all possible for us to ramble on and take up tons of bandwidth. You have to admit, it's been a wonderful cyber-pychotherapy for us all. Thanks again, Erik.

Wow, sorry guys, I haven't written in a while. It seems the more I have going on in my life, the less I write email. Of course, my life is completely fucked up right now, and I need some outside insight. Anne, that thing you wrote about young love, friendships, and relationships really struck a chord with me. I've just gone through something really similar, and i know all these girls who are so sweet, and are just dating assholes. They say they're in love, and that's all that matters, but they can't even have a good conversation with them. My friend called me up all excited this morning and exclaimed, "GUESS WHAT ANOOP! ____ and I had a good conversation today, it was the first one in weeks." I say, "Really? Wow, I'm so happy for you, that's great." But I'm thinking, "You've been dating this asshole for two years, and one good conversation every few weeks is all it takes to keep you in a relationship, when you could be so much happier with just about any other guy out there." Jordan and Dan - I feel you guys pain, I really do. I'm sick of being there to pick up the pieces. It feels like if I ever get in a relationship, i'm going to be her boyfriend and her shrink all in one. FL- what we do without you? all sorts of stupid things I'm sure.
