Had another "existence" problem today. I was supposed to go to some gallery in Akron to work a party (catering) and i had the address and all, but when i got there, it was just someone's house, no gallery. I tried to call people at work but no one knew where i should have been. what's even worse, is that I sat around all night waiting for someone from work to call and say "hey, are you okay? why weren't you at the party, we were WORRIED" but no one did. so i spent all night on the couch, sulking. Saw some good movies tho. Oh, and i've never made a drunken post.

Subject: guys don't have to make the first move???!? wow. that's news to me! :) no guy i know even has the guts to hit on anyone for fear of straight out rejection, a sexual harrasment suit, or just scaring the hell out of the poor girl and not seeing anything but dust, as she runs screaming away. *sigh* maybe i'm just not cut out for this game. Women. can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em. Stacy, you quoted Happy!!! rofl. that movie rocks. i have an amazing capacity for Adam Sandler. and Drew Barrymore, for some strange reason... hey. that's not that strange. it's just that she is hot. wow. that explains it. Ahh, drew... marry me? lucy rocks. i swear, i need icq! damn. i hate my access. i'm getting a new one. Clayton, i don't have dial up to my school's server. if i did, do you really think that the stupid thing would still be up? i've been casing it tho, and it looks like Mr Russo is gonna gimme dial up, so that kicks arse. on other geeky news, has anyone ever played Unreal over a fibre optic network? it is amazing! i have 10meg/s throughput. it is soooooooo fast. i am starting to become one of the schools computer people, because even though i don't do computers, i probubly know as much as the 3 top students. so i'm starting to get Privilges. :) Sandi, sandi, sandi. what can i say? she rocks. did i mention that i have a webpage? i do. it sucks amazingly, but it's in the middle of a massive revamp and i knead ideas! and people to go sign my guestbook. so yay. here's the url http://www.geocities.com/timessquare/battlefield/8540 please grace it with your presence. and there is a few things about BFF when they were in australia there on http://www.geocities.com/timessquare/battlefield/8540/ben.html Sniff, sniff. what smells? who's been dreging the bucket? damn. props to Clayton, by the way. Jordan "i'm stoned in a bookshop, sober in a nightclub, sex is everywhere but nowhere 'round me. By the time she gets to Marrickville we'll be masturbating. Never rains in Tempe, but the planes remind me of family, money, and the lack down here. Stop talking, frustrated, 'cause i sound like Louis Burdett" now, tavia. you are the resident Whitlams (apart from me) fan around here, so tell me, do you know who Louis Burdett is? if so, i will be mightly impressed. let's call it a challange, shall we? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Hey all, So I had a dream last night that I was running through the streets, crying, "Im deffered! Im deferred!" and I know why- Im going to have to tell all my bros. and sisters. which will be a chore. Deferrment is-well, schools have early action/decision which is "hey! Ill apply to this school in October becuase I really want to go there and I want to know if you'll accept me/reject me by december!" So I apply early to Harvard, which is snotty enough to say- "if youre applying early to harvard, you must only apply early to harvard. bloody ivies." and they defer me, which means that instead of being straight with me, and flat out rejecting/accepting, they say, "oh! well, we cant fully accept/reject you now- so, we'll put you into the spring pool, with 5 million other freaking people!!!!! and, get this, you get to wait until APRIL!!!!!!" Which bothers me because it renders the whole ordeal of early action null. Like I wasted my time. And that pisses me off. Deferrment is not a dirty word, its just so frustrating. Im impatient, indecisive, and Ive been wanting to go to harvard ever since I grew up in the shadow of the institution. But i dont know now... tis better to know, than not to know. ~Elisabeth "does it sag like a heavy load? or does it explode?" ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I definetly had to get that evil angriness out of my system. But we all have learned a lesson, yes? Its going to be a bitch to tell eveybody, though. And Dan's post on the armchair the other night was one of the funniest things ive read in awhile. Meg, congradulations on NYU. A very good school, and Im applying there, too, and my parents are convinced its because of the tv show Felicity.=) Maybe youll get to meet Scott Speedman, or realize that yes, NYC does rain ALL THE TIME. especially when your life is drama (and I mean that in italics) Im still relatively pissy, though. I may have to post my rhyming poem about squirrels that was thisclose to being in a book of humourous children's poetry, so that I can get props. I need them. Dammit! I want to WRITE! I wish David Sedaris(genius!!) released some new stuff. Or that I listened to NPR. Yay! Happy day after your Birthday Courtney!!!! ~Elisabeth big fat rock star lips on a sniveling englishman damm!! that's attractive!!! ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I've been here since the first issue, and have loved being a Fjordian ever since. I read the RF every morning, as I'm rushing to get ready for work. It's always so comforting to find it there, each morning, as I check my email. I can't believe it's been a year already, and how much my life has changed since I signed on. I read Eric's recent posts, and it reminds me of where I was at last year at this time. Hang in there, Eric, the strangest things do happen! Go figure, I'm still giddily happy with the man who whistled "Battle" to me when we were just flirting last February! Carrie - great advice to the guys! I agree with everything you said, being a female. I'm currenty trying to help a male friend of mine hook up with a female acquantance of mine, and he's been following those same "rules", and things seem to be working out well for him. They finally went out on a date, and another date will happen soon, hopefully. I do love Erik for making this maillist enter my mailbox every morning, like clockwork. It's one of the few things I can count on to make my life more enjoyable every day. Later - Kristin ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Dec 1998 14:18:04 EST From: Vwbugn5890@aol.com Subject: pretend, playlike, suppose... that this is a birthday card... the outside would say "aren't you tired of those cheesy birthday cards?" the inside would say "i sure yam"...and there'd be a picture of a yam there my friend got that for her dad one year, what creative geniuses at hallmark :) so i'm a little late with the post... i've had a busy week and i've got a pile of MAs and RFs to read. luckily the MA is for the most part nothingness and most of it is people posting previous MAs to the present MA. such smart people. even though i haven't been on the RF for as long as it has existed as the RF, i will wish it a happy b-day too and i guess you could call it a happy anniversary for ya'll who have been here for so long. thank god next week is christmas break, i don't think i can take this school crap anymore. plus then it'll only be like another week until i get to see the urge. i'm excited already :) now i just have to do some convincing to get away from my family long enough on christmas night to go see rufus wainwright. i saw psycho yesterday. i can't really say anything about it considering it was exactly like the first one, but i liked it. one of my "friends" who saw it said, "it wasn't very good, it was just like the first one." i was like "yah...it's a frame by frame remake" then another "friend" said that it was boring and the dialogue was the same as the old one. so i had to explain to her it was a remake. i mean wasn't that advertised everywhere? i thought it was common knowledge. on the other hand these "friends" (i put it in quotes because we're not really friends anymore, just aquaintences) aren't the brightest people in the world. alright...i'm out of useless information for today... shan "I could take this in doses large enough to kill" ~ Liz Phair ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Dec 1998 21:13:43 EST From: HndOfChaos@aol.com Subject: So what? I haven't posted in a really long time, this frightens me that Scott Schneider has come out of hiding. And Jordan remembered that I said hi to him. >>I did get a chance to check out the Dylan documentary "Don't Look Back". I >>was moderately impressed. I guess I didn't know what to expect going in, >>but it was pretty cool. >If they follow you, don't look back, like dylan in the movies. On your >own, if they follow you, its not your money that they're after, boy, its you. Stacy, I love you. That's all. Sorry about that ICQ incident, BTW. :) smile! Elisabeth -- I'm sorry that you didn't get into Harvard (I'm still crossing my fingers)! But really, a few days before that you said "I am a new GAP employee. " Well then, you would have really weird conversations, like "Oh, next fall I'm going to Harvard. Right now I work at the GAP!" Ugh. Did anybody catch last night's Cupid? GAP reference. Poor guy on a date finds out where the girl works - the GAP. This is right after he admits to being a physicist or something. "Yeah, I do stuff figuring out the origins of the universe. What do you do?" "I work at the GAP! (smile)" Garsh, I don't remember when I joined the RF. It was shortly after the Chi- Town Convention. Wow. I remember Anne Anne-lyzing my weirdo Ben Folds Five dream and I remember Scott posting and I remember Sandi's? "Fair" dance and posting that really long think about Jackson Cannery and wow. Double wow......

Dan: that sucks that you have to wear khakis for swing! I'm not a fan of that store. sara: yes Summer B. is definately the song to blast. great Bass line. Have you recruited any listeners in you dorm that way? Stacy claimed it didn't work for her. I guess I was converted when I was forced to listen to Uncle Walter. you guys are still talking about B&S. Should i just take your word on it and ask santa for it for x-mas? Sandi, Geez! Are you sure you weren't writing about a dream you had, or is that really your life? Oh, and may I ask how you ended up moving to Hapel Chill? Happy late B-day to me as well. But this was the big 21! You didn't see a drunken post because I don't drink. It was cool because my b/f had given me sparkling apple cider. it looked just like BEER! So I drank it at midnight and I had a final at 7:30am and everyone thought I was actually drinking! Ha! it was funny. But then i got sick and couldn't go swinging(w/o Khakis niether). God I can't wait for the new Album!!
