I'm so behind. I blame it on school. :P eh well. I love school so I can't complain. at LEAST I manage to catch up. :D so..... ON WITH THE REPLIES I MUST GO!!!!! Julie said: "I think it's wrong when teacher's have group assignments out of class..." I think group assignments as a whole are of the devil. :D but hey, it's supposed to teach us how to work with other people, right? o_O Lavs said: "I prefer clitoris to ovaries." well yeah. besides popping out eggs, what exactly DOES an ovary do? :P I mean hey, you get a bigger kick out of the clitoris than the ovaries (unless you count the egg released by the ovaries that winds up turning into a baby that kicks you a lot from the inside out... o_O) Jessica said of BJ's: "i don't just walk around "hey can i suck your dick?" :p" but do guys walk around going "hey can you suck mine?" is the other REAL question.. Megan: love your Passengers poem, btw.. :) Megan then said.. "I'm sucking on a borrowed coughdrop.." uh.. it hasn't been licked beforehand, has it?? o_O the retro for #1730 said: "a member reports that Tori is featured in a Spin magazine collection of computer-aged images (ie Tori is shown in her fifties)." o_O;; anybody know where I might see that picture? I'm too curious for my own good! Julio, congrats on submitting your thesis. :) *hands you a fistful of $$$$$.. not money.. just $$$$$.. ya know.. the text thing.. 44444 with the shift held down.. $$$$$..* John on his SLG mix tape.. "Oh, and I left off "I'm Not in Love," too." o_O why?? keep in mind that with the songs that Tori did--aside from Eminem that is--that I'd never heard the originals before.. but.. I'm nutty for her cut of I'm Not In Love.. I like it a LOT.. I kinda liked the original.. but.. her version.. :D I love.. LOVE.. the sarcasm in it for one thing.. and.. it being just her and the drumbeat and wacky drill-guitar thingy or whatever.. the drums, the sound effects, and her voice.. it just sounds very cynical.. and I like cynical. :D Megan on the ASF music video: "Feet. Head. Tori. Hippity Hop. Roman nose guy who may or may not be significant other." hahaaaaahahahah!! I love how you put it! rofl! I honestly loved that video tho. (I downloaded it. MTV sucks.) and.. Bliss.. well I remember seeing it when it first came out but well.. I didn't remember it sounding like it does so when I rediscovered it after getting into Tori, it really seriously left me behind--slammed against the wall, drained, and breathless and almost like "WHAAAAT was THAAAAAT???" I like songs that do that to me.. I guess I'm a songy-masochist, huh? whaddya think? Jim gave a VERY interesting post regarding emotional/mental pathways and stuff.. I actually agree with it. TO THIS DAY.. when I listen to Hey Jupiter (but part of it is the weather turning cold as it was cold weather when I first discovered Tori in February. :)) I remember that first month.. and grin like an idiot. :D see? I'm grinning like an idiot now. :D so on that note, I'm gonna keep grinning and uh.. go now. cya! ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

It is so sick and scary what I've watched. I hope that it stops but that's not very probable. I hope Tori will always be safe from that, along with other celebrities. Julie H.

I was just reading this poem "The Prisoner" by Emily Bronte and it reminded me a lot of "Take to the Sky" -- especially the lines "So close to touching freedom/Then I hear the guards call my name." Thought I'd share and see what you think: The Prisoner (October 1845) He comes with western winds, with evening's wandering airs, With that clear dusk of heaven that brings the thickest stars; Winds take a pensive tone and stars a tender fire And visions rise and change which kill me with desire - Desire for nothing known in my maturer years When joy grew mad with awe, at counting future tears; When, if my spirit's sky was fall of flashes warm, I knew not whence they came from sun or thunder storm; But first a hush of peace, a soundless calm descends; The struggle of distress and feirce impatience ends Mute music sooths my breast - unuttered harmony That I could never dream till earth was lost to me. Then dawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals; My outward sense is gone, my inward essence feels - Its wings are almost free, its home, its harbour found; Measuring the gulf, it stoops and dares the final bound - 0, dreadful is the check - intense the agony When the ear begins to hear and the eye begins to see; When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again, The soul to feel the flesh and the flesh to feel the chain. Yet I would lose no sting, would wish no torture less; The more that anguish racks the earlier it will bless; And robed in fires of Hell, or bright with heavenly shine If it but herald Death, the vision is divine - (Emily Bronte) Sorry, again, for having been so quiet; a lot of my life has become very much the sort of thing I'm not likely to discuss in public, archived forums. :) And, because I've been so busy dealing with personal issues, I haven't had a ton of time for leisure activities like reading, listening to music, or seeing movies. (I think the last film I saw in the theater was "Signs," and the next one I'm likely to see is "The Two Towers." I even managed to miss the ENTIRE Mill Valley Film Festival, and I had tickets for shows almost every night. I want to see "Bowling for Columbine," though.) But, some books on the "soon to read" list include a couple of martial-arts-oriented ones: "The Code of the Samurai" (I'm curious to see whether it aligns *at all* with Tori's song "Samurai" although that's not why I'm reading it), "The Book of Five Rings," as soon as I get a proper translation of it -- I don't like the one I have -- and "The Art of War." Also a book on shamanism by Jan Fries, "Fingerprints of the Gods" by Graham Hancock, a book on the Rosslyn chapel in Scotland (and the Templars, which will help me decide whether to read this other book on the Templars a friend gave to me, or to give it away), "The Grail Legend" by Emma Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz, and "A User's Guide to the Brain." Also coming my way is a book on Carl Jung by Joseph Campbell, which I am eager to read, and I'm thinking I need to pick up books of poetry by Auden, cummings, Bronte, and possibly Wallace Stevens. We'll see. I'm also trying to figure out when I'll have time to listen to several hours of mp3s by Marion Woddman and Joseph Campbell, because I need to do that soon. Thank goodness I'm taking a week off the last week in October. The energy around here has been amazing -- with the full moon and Samhain coming -- I feel half-in and half-out of this world (and my own head) lately. And my weekends are stuffed-full until mid-November! I hope all of you are well, and enjoying the turning of the leaves.
