Subject: knock, knock. it's cold, can i come back in now? hey, well, it's Feburary 4, i have been off the net for 3 weeks. i have waded throught the glut of email and have decided to mail you wonderful people. yes, you. back at school. new people. year 12. too much homework. nuff about school. I have had a blinder of a beginning to this year, and here's hoping that it continues. I now have a plan: (1) Finish Year 12 (2) Go Cotton Chipping for $$$ (3) Go touring Australia with my buddies for 3 months (4) Get a $18,000 scholarship to UNSW and go there (5) For my honours year :) go to MIT and do it there on UNSW's exchange program! Rock around America for a while. Maybe follow a little band 'round the country. (7 and onwards) Where life takes me.. good, innit? plan, sham. i not only have just finally had my copy of XO come in, but i have also received Rufus =D!!!!! they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. i get discresionary leave. meaning, instead of working during my free periods, i drive downtown and drink coffee with my friends. how rare is it to get three fortune cookies all saying "this insert has a protective plastic coating"? weird. actually, i was eating the Kung Foo Sing (it's the holy scripture...mmmm, old school 'gurg) and i had three that said "you have a sexy secret admirer" i laughed. hmmm.... it's good to see that i can still make the choir. Looks like i'm going to audition for the Sing 2000 choir. Which means if i get in, not only do i get to write it off as extracurricular activies, but i get to sing at the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games! cool. And yes, we did cheat to get them. neener. hmm... my life? glad you asked. it's good, but i'm still taking applications for the position of female companion *sigh* why do i pick the weird ones, and why do the ones that should work have major problems? the only other guy who i know has as much trouble as me in this area is Rhys. poor fella. not only does he pick a gay chick, but a miliant one. He doesn't give up and she starts to harbour feeling for him. He gets told this only when she is moving over 1000km away. See, that is pretty fucked up in my opinion. i still have the one that will work, if only for an major age/sibling thing. see, she's 3 years younger than me, and her brother is my best friend. *sigh* as long as i live, i will never work this out. The urinal should not be a place for conversation. You see, even if there is another guy there, there is no greeting, and both of you get on with your buisness as if the other was not there. i have tested this at football matches even. and yet it still holds true. and yet, all girls i have ever met, walk to the toliets (in groups, mind you) with a conversation, and leave still on the same conversation, but much advanced. you talk? in the toliet??? weird. and another question, don't female toliets work unless three of you are in there? it's weird. im sick. real sick. blah. Should i go to the swimming carnavel? maybe, maybe no. who knows. Who cares? Psudeoephidrine is gooood. for when you are sick, or you can't afford a lot of alcohol, drink this shite. it's really good. Hmm... Taves has a job, Markus has a cd, Courtney has the hookups, Erik hasn't been sighted, along with SPENCER!!! and MATTHEW!!! and ANNE!!! hmm.. it's quiet. fix it, someone, fill the void. ill post tommorow. I promise. it's a new beginning! Jordan _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Aaaah, the second week of classes--I don't quite have to be back in the swing of things so there's still time for sleeping in and the occasional Wednesday night cocktail. Ah, it's a semi-charmed kinda life, baby (hee hee!) I am loving two of my classes: one on literature of the white American South (e.g. Faulkner, Williams, Welty, etc.) and one on the impressionist movement where we're learning to see the story behind those pretty swirls of paint and recognize the courtesans and ballerina prostitutes in some of their works. Another one how the mass media affects American politics is shaping up to be good, but I can tell one already is going to suck, even though we are reading good stuff. Oh well, only a few short months til I graduate! Hurrah! Of course, getting a job is not fun. And I don't want to talk about that. I had forgotten how much I loved the song title "break up at food court" because god, I had the most painful break up experience *in* a food court (probably along with everyone else) and everytime I think of it, I see the neon sign of The Great American Fry, Co. glowing behind his head. Elisabeth, hope your college interviews are going well. You know, they a are so arbitrary; I don't think they really count for much. And I can sympathize with you on the suit and heels in the ice thing; job searching means a lot of that for me, too. Finally, I just want to say that I heart Angelina Jolie. That's it. xoxo, Katy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Feb 1999 17:25:27 EST From: Vwbugn5890@aol.com Subject: i need to see a show! now i have to hate leigh for having an opportunity to go to such good shows. my friend and i were just discussing this morning how we haven't been to a concert in a long time. not since the urge in december. i'm going through concert withdrawl. i've gotten about five thousand of these music survey things from people i don't even know. arg, this makes me upset. someone said their guilty pleasure in their record collection was Counting Crows "August and Everything Else". Counting Crows is not a guilty pleasure, they're a damn good band and they didn't even get the album name right, shame on them. on one of my school folders i had written belle and sebastian and one of my friends saw it and said "aren't those the little sea creatures from the little mermaid?" hmm...not exactly... two of the djs who have a variety type show on the college station here played uncle walter during their show, so i emailed them a couple days ago (turns out they're big bff fans, have been for like 4 years) and they mailed me back and invited me down to listen to their show. they said they always like having guests. might go check that out soon. hope everyone had a lovely week. shan "Here's an old joke I just made up.
