[ Cyndi S Crawford <cyndi.crawford@ju ] A little Bunny [ "Beth Coulter" <betheqt@voicenet.co ] [ =======================> In RDT History <======================= ] On June 6th in 1994: was Tori really raped, or is she just using this story as a marketing tool? (This, unsurprisingly, turned into a flamewar.) One person wrote: "Don't you think Tori's being a bit dishonest? She's accepting an award from a rape crisis center, and she's being looked to as a source of hope by thousands of girls and women who have been raped. Nowadays, when Tori is asked about the incident, she refuses to elaborate. However, in the distant past she revealed that it was an *attempted* rape, and she managed to get away without a scratch." In 2000, people were answering the question: "If you could tell Tori any one thing, what would it be?" One member answered: "maybe i'd tell her that it was inadvertantly because of her that my boyfriend and i fell in love. we both point to a moment in our friendship that was directly effected by her (if this makes sense. it's complicated) that made it all grow in potential. took two and a half years to finally come to a head, but hey, there's nothing wrong with waiting." [ =======================> In RDT History <======================= ] On June 7th in 1993, a member posted an article on Tori from the 29 March 1993 issue of the (Toronto) Varsity. It includes some cute trivia, like: Her Worst Vice: "Extra virgin olive oil, and lots of it." Her Funny Lipshade: "I wear three: Yves St. Laurent No. 66 in the large lip size, No. 3 in the thin matte kind and Shiseido crimson." Medical Complications From Sitting Swivelled at the Piano: "Back problems, I've had them since I was 12." Helpful Hints When Making Tori a Packed Lunch: "I hate sandwiches." In 1996, Tori fans who were also Metallica fans were coming out of the woodwork. Also, a member and ardent Tori fan began posting the results of his research into the Boesendorfer piano, and his visits to the Boesendorfer shop in Vienna. In 1997, people were talking about the recent disappearance (on May 29th) and presumed death of Jeff Buckley. One member wrote: "Has anyone heard anything or seen anything in print about the Jeff Buckley thing? It feels so weird to me, since I haven't talked to anyone about it, just on e-mail. I was a little disappointed not to see anything or hear anything about it at all, it's a little surreal."

That's the sad truth of the world.. I dunno what else to say but it is. She then said: "I got well just in time to work myself to death. ;)" YAAAAAAAAY!! :D and YAAAAAAAAAAAY again to Champers still being here! YAHOO!! :) our favorite Succubus Barbie said: "Okay, must calm down...and use fewer exclamation points..." yeah.. Tori'd flay you alive if she saw all of the exclamation points you just used there.. hell she'd flay us ALL alive I imagine.. we all do such a terrible thing.. and frequently.. *tsk*tsk* Koba said: "i'll wake up again when these surveys die a silent death." They won't die.. they just hibernate. :D Ade said: "my neighbor's dog tried to rape me yesterday. that was just plain freaky." what'd you do..?? *raises eyebrow* that's all from me for now! ciao! :) Sincerely, Cyndi S.

If I could just reach out and stop it, I would. But since I can't, I have to look at the possible impact. Financial impact will be great but the U.S. should be fine. Radiation won't equal an x-ray by the time it reaches here. These aren't the big guns...just a small device. And it will wake up the world again at a key point in history to just how horrific these things are and just why they should never ever be used. Second, a point I've made before: I wholeheartedly believe the intelligence community knew about 9/11 but sat by and did nothing. Not ALL of them...just a few, maybe even one. Prior to 9/11 the intelligence community was laughed at, distrusted and generally considered a waste of taxpayer money. Warnings were seen as paranoia, etc. Now...imagine this... You work for the intelligence community. You are a key player. You love your country. It isn't just a catch phrase you mouth, you dedicate every minute of your life to it. It controls, in many ways, your life. You've tried to explain the dangers that exist and are called paranoid. You are laughed at and your budgets cut. You know any day *IT* will happen. Some crazy with the money and the time will get a nuclear device and detonate it in a major city. Maybe NewYork, maybe where your kids go to school. You get a memo about a possible threat. You get them all the time. There is nothing that really stands out here, but your gut tells you...this could be the real deal. Two buildings...two out of hundreds may fall. Not an entire city, not even a lot of people percentage wise... If you bring it to someones attention, you will be laughed at or... If you don't and it happens, your agency will suddenly be given wide sweeping powers to stop a greater catastrophe...THE Catastrophe. So you tuck away the file...it probably won't happen anyway... -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 02:35:57 -0400 From: Cyndi S Crawford <cyndi.crawford@juno.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: a new list of compilation songs! hey-hey! it's 2:30 AM, I'm either taking a break from my artwork that I have to turn in tomorrow (my teacher is a smegma-eating cracksmoking asshole artist himself who just doesn't seem to grasp the fact that, damn it, I don't get home until 10PM.. and that leaves me two hours (provided I do go to bed by midnight) to do his retarded BUSY WORK..) or giving up on it for the night.. either way.. On my way home, I was listening to FTCH and Northern Lad came on.. then I thought of other songs that mentioned--or had a little something to do with rain.. whaddya say, y'all, that we all contribute to a list of songs that have to do with rain.. or have rain in the background.. or mention rain a time or two, etc? ehhhh? I've got a few already! Tori Amos - Northern Lad Janet Jackson - Anything Michael Jackson - Stranger In Moscow Janet Jackson - Anytime, Anyplace Missy Elliott - Rain (Supa Dupa Fly) Janet Jackson - China Love anybody else wanna add to this??? :D somebody..

I'm not affraid of Lynch. :-P I thought "Lost Highway" was Disney in comparison to "Mullholland Drive" which creeped me out beyond reasonable borders , probably most since THAT episode of Twin Peaks. That turntable with a finished record would permanently haunt me. But actually the 'visions' are the scary part in Lynch mythology. Because that's what they are - visions the characters experience, that can neither hurt them not touch them, but often scare them senseless. In one too many movies an appaition is a ghost that through nice cgi pushes your furniture around or throws knives at you. All cool, but the ultimate spook is that Bob crawling on the carpet and over the couch, and not actually being there. ugh. no. one wierd interesting thing too many. :) Cyndi - yeah, "Suede" is about seduction. It makes me cry nevertheless. because it feels like throwing stones against walls sometimes. :-) Gabriela -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 22:13:35 +1000 From: "Lavenda" <earth@comcen.com.au> To: "Strange Little Arty Turners" <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Subject: vibrating puppy Ade typed: >ahhh i'm in my pjs now... i should have a shower. my neighbor's dog tried >to rape me yesterday. that was just plain freaky. hehehehehehe, but this just reminded me of something that happened on holiday. There's these Blue's Clues toys out now that 'jump' (about a centimetre each second or something), and my parents got one for my nephew, and someone's pressed it's ear and it's bounding along (with 'if you're happy and you know it' playing), and it bumps into someones leg, and after a few feeble attempts to continue on it's merry way it proceeds to tilt up with each jump so it looked like it was humping the leg. I think the little comment I made went over my mums head, but that's not surprising as she still claims not to know what a wanker is (and I nearly embarked on that road, but thought 'if she requires more than one explaination, and there's no dictionary in this place, I really don't want to go there'. I spose now is as good a time to divulge about my holiday. Great weather (though not for fishing) other than when we were diving up and then back. We were up there 2 years ago, but I don't think I mentioned anything then about Graftons major bridge. It's actually a traffic hazard that they try to dress up as a tourist attraction, but this bridge is 'bendy'. It's like a semi-straightened 'Z' with two sharpish (for a bridge) corners to navigate some 30 metres in from each end. I can't find a decent pic, but here's an 'artists impression' (note the excessive number of 'bends'). http://www.graftoncity.nsw.gov.au/images/bendybridge.jpg You get use of a dingy with the unit, so other than it's fishing use, Tiarna and I went out for a little trip with my dad. I made mention to Tiarna that there was a little island in the middle of the river, and it imediately became a treasure island and there were pirate pigs and the pirate parrot (Dora the Explorer) and treasure everywhere, and then Captain Hooks pirate ship on the way back. We had a BBQ nearly every day, and Tiarna got into the habit of collecting sticks for it (even when we didn't need them any more), and even banksia flowers, which she ordered me to de-flower and she then pretended the um.. bit that was left (seed pod section) was a sausage that she'd 'cook' on the barbie. The other really good thing (other than catching up with everyone of course) was that it was a good introduction for Tiarna as to what being around another kid all the time will be like (though granted it'll be like a year before she has to go through the full-on sharing thing again). My nephew had teething problems (fever and very very bad nappy rash), but even if he was crying full boar and non-stop, when it was bed time, she'd be out like a light. Oh, and I can't forget the baby food story (though sadly I was out of the room at the time). Nephew's mealtime and a can of creamed rice is opened for him that was purchased earlier in the week. Creamed rice explodes out of the can. It was off, though not past its use by date. Stank a bit too, and Murphy must ahve been distracted because the carpet was remarkably unscathed. And earlier tonight my parents rang to say that my brother and his wife (who were at Wooli with us) are expecting again (in January from what I can figure). They had been trying and her period was late (ended up a couple of weeks before we went away), but tests said she wasn't. But she must've done another one after getting back home, and lo and behold, she is about 2 months preg!

When I looked in on him this morning, he was curled up and peacefully dead after a very long life. I was handling it all right up to the point Dickens came over and for the first time ever, gave Champers little head a lick and a kiss and a nuzzle. Then she looked up at me and gave a mournful little "mew" as if to ask what was wrong. But I'm thankful he passed in his sleep and didn't suffer. Rest in peace, you spoiled little hamster. May heaven be as good as your home on earth. In a state of mourning, Bethey -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o [top] Date: Thu, 06 Jun 2002 12:26:38 -0500 From: "Julie Patrick" <hippi@hotmail.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: Tori Sighting on Rock 'n Roll Jeopardy I have a crush on Jeff Probst (Survivor and Rock 'n Roll Jeopardy host) so it was pretty exciting to hear him give the answer "Past the Mission, this pianist's sophomore album featured Trent Reznor." Seconds went by as no contestant buzzed in. The category was "90's Rock." Who is Tori Amos?

Bunny was pretty much being tortured by a two year old child and a 3 month old cat, and I've never seen such an aggressive rodent. She won't allow me to touch her, so I used a carrot stick to acquaint her with my hand being in her cage. Every time she spun around to bite, she got a mouthful of carrot instead of my finger. I think once she gets used to not being abused and watched and tortured, she may calm down and be an acceptable pet. Dickens isn't happy with the new addition, but Glenny the Guinea Pig has been chatting away to her new friend in the cage next door. I'm hoping she is saying (in rodent) "Welcome to Heaven; Prepare to be spoiled rotten." I'd say more, but there is a big ass thunderstorm hitting, so I'll just say: Fairy Blessings, Bethey I'm OK when Everything's not OK cause it's the Fairies Revenge they say And I have always been a Fairy. www.bethcoulter.com o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o o-o-o *** The Power Of Cheese -- Dare To Be Grated digest *** To POST messages to this list: <rdtrn@torithoughts.org> Can't figure out how to SUB, UNSUB, or CHANGE ADDRESSES?
