Stacy so eloquently stated: >Girls have this >thing... were as soon as this great guy shows an interest in them, they >drop him. Don't find him attractive anymore. It's true. Sure, many of you may have heard me complain that men don't ever make the first move anymore. And it *is* irritating that *we* have to be the ones to do all the wooing these days. But truthfully, I'm much happier this way. I know myself--if some guy started really hitting on me, or asked me out and gave me everything I ever wanted, I'd back off *really* quickly. Rules of thumb, men: 1) When asking a girl out, be nonchalant. Let her know that you would like to go on a date (not just hang out), but do not act as if it is the only date you've ever had and you've been waiting your whole life for this moment. 2) When kissing a girl the first time, make sure she wants to. Nothing is worse than a sudden and unwanted faceful of Boy. Go in slowly, and if she doesn't move away, she's yours. Spontaneity is welcome later in the relationship, but this is too soon. (Conversely, if you're pretty sure she wants to, don't wait long before doing it. She'll tire of you.) 3) When it is established that there is mutual interest for subsequent dates and you are happy about it, relax. Don't go into a tirade about how it's been *so* long since you've dated anyone nice, and how you want to warn her that, in five months, you'll be moving, but willing to rack up frequent flyer miles... It's too soon, Action Jackson. 4) Until a relationship is solidly developed, and rarely even then, you should avoid making plans for the future together. I don't mean marriage. I mean such as, "Carrie, my family wants to invite you to our home for Thanksgiving," right after breaking up three times, realizing you have a lack of communication, when T-day is two months hence. *stupid* 5) If the girl is pulling away emotionally, be considerate and listen to her problems. If she won't tell you, you're probably the problem. Let it die. Hope this helps. Marcus wrote: >Anybody know if'n our boys'll be participatin'?! I concur with Ginger and Sandi. Darren's song is cute, an enjoyable listen. It reminds me of the light acoustic ditties in Good Will Hunting. I forget who did those... Much work to do. Must read 350-pg novel in Spanish and write 25 pages of essays (in Spanish) before Tuesday. And the novel is hardcore. Yes, Cuban porn. But apparently it's *feminist* Cuban porn. Woke up too early. Jon kept asking weird questions in his sleep, which I somehow felt the need to attempt to answer... "Does it work in-house?" "What?" "Does it work in-house?" "Go back to sleep." "In-house. Does it work?" "Does what work in-house?" "E-mail." "At my house? Yeah..." "No, in-house. Does it work in-house?" "ARRRGH! Leave me alone." BFF's cool, but I need a tour or a new CD or something. Ramble, ramble. Four days till Kansas City. Four weeks away. *sigh* A good one to you all, carrie ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Dec 1998 12:11:43 -0700 From: Stacy Lynn Subject: Just 18 and I've seen the world >anyone else here ever attempt to expose a dormitory hall of many generic music >listeners to ben folds five by way of leaving the door open as the cd is >playing at a high volume? i do. i don't think it's working out so well. but >they do get to hear me singing a rather loud and poorly harmonized "where's >summer b?"! It doesn't work, and i've tried. For two years, I have tried... and they still insist on listening to top 40... Last year the most favorable responce I got was from the 2 girls kitty corner from me. "Is this Ben Folds Five?" "Yeah! You guys dig it?" "Well, I bought their 1st album cuz I heard Underground and just loved it, but I dunno, I guess I was disapointed by the album as a whole." *sigh* This year, its been worse. Sarah (my roomie)will have friends over, and I'll be listening to Indigo Swing or Belle and SEbastian, or anything besides top 40, and they will beg Sarah to make me take it out. =-( So, last night at work, lots of bad energy. I had to harness the good, block the bad. harness - good, block - bad. It made me almost glad to be leaving. *sigh* Besides, I'm a damn good waitress, I could really rake in the tips. (At Canyon Ranch, we don't get tips). And I don't get my discount at college after next semester, so I'll have to pay mroe than I have to go to school. UGH. And I'm so with you Carrie, I need a tour or a new CD or soemthing. Jordan - addy is on the way. When I come to Australia (and I will come to australia!) we'll hang out. I love you too! =-) Cuz I am going to see the world. I actually awnt to live in australia for a year, and same with europe, and I'll do a little tour of Asia, and Africa. And the rest of the USA in my spare time. =-) Oh, and I'll get to south america too, eventually. stacy Day comes I wake, I wake with a hard heartache I go down to your place We sit and chat about New York... --Rufus Wainwright "Danny Boy" http://www.u.arizona.edu/~stacyf icq #7641939 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Dec 1998 20:11:13 EST From: jaedonely@juno.com Subject: bitch and whine, bitch and whine... Today in the mail, I get the notice from harvard. Im "deferred" which is pretty stupid, because it goes against the whole point of early acceptance and throws me into the spring pile!!!! WHAT IS THE POINT!!!!?!?!?!?! So its ultimately frustrating, because I am now mired in UNCERTAINTY. And I think Im applying to about 8 other colleges, and some are ivies, and some are not, and its all such a crapshoot!!!! And me and the fam were looking at Harvard like, well, if I dont get in, its a sign that i would been surrounded by anal type as and it wouldve sucked anyway...but deferral...what sort of karmic sign is that? huh? ~Elisabeth *** But I did network with my dj friend so that I should get into the Rufus Wainwright concert Monday night.

We (along with our very own Sara Miller!) had cameos in Belle & Sebastian's video for "Dirty Dream #2". I hope we don't wind up on the cutting room floor. :( Lance, the director, looked at all the clothes I brought and chose my plastic pants! hehe. He chose very cute outfits for Ginger and Sara also. So I was filmed doing the "Peanuts" dance while Ginger and Sara were filmed trying to touch their noses with their tongues. In addition we were all shot individually up close & personal for a bit, I suppose for extra footage of our glorious selves. We rock. So we have had a very eventful day: filmed a rock video, met guys from the bands Neutral Milk Hotel & Mancha, saw a really cool video about Elliot Smith that Lance's friend made, got to hang out with a very cool guy (Lance) who has filmed for REM (and other bands we can't remember) and made a dinner date with Mr. Ben & it's only 9 o'clock.

Jordan got me in such a Ben Lee mood that I got out my Ben Lee CDs and listened to them all. Jordan - do you have Ben Lee's version of "Itchy Coo Park" on the "Who Shot Andy Warhol Soundtrack"? That was the song that turned me on to Ben Lee. >I...don't drink. I'm probably the only sophmore in my class that doesn't. Well, I've never posted drunk to the RF.. at least, I don't remember...

Ok, update on work... more bad energy. Am I creating bad energy so that I have less to miss at work? *sigh* I dunno. I applied for other jobs today. All waitressing. I'd like to do something else, but I only have restaurant experience, and I already know I'm a damn good waitress... and I know I can make a lot of money at it. I don't know if I'd be able to handle a 6 dollar an hour job after getting more than 8.50 an hour... *sigh*.

I didn't even live in Tucson then. When I was 16, my family moved to Tucson, and so the UA was in-state. Then when it came down to applying, I looked at lots of schools. I got offered lots of scholarships, but to places I didn't want. and all the places I really did like (besides the UA) were too expensive. So, it worked out ok, and I went here, which was if not my top choice, then at least in the top 3. And now I might not even be able to afford school here anymore. =-( >Not to brag, but I'M GOING TO NYU!!! Just heard from them today! Yay me! I'm >so relieved.
