Alfie: "shadows? on me lungs? i'm being eaten away! this is the end of me! oh god in heaven help me!" (as sampled on carter the unstoppable sex machine's seminal album, "30 something") "Now I sleep with a horse named Clyde." crikey, it's a good job i didn't just see that one sentence by itself, violet... :o) someone (was it john b?) described "marianne", "caught a lite sneeze" and "mohammed..." as the best 3-song segue on any tori album. i'm not a huge "mohammed" fan, but it got me thinking about other threesomes. a few of my favourites are: professional widow - mr. zebra - marianne black-dove - raspberry swirl - jackie's strength winter - happy phantom - china a sorta fairytale - wednesday - strange ok, i don't normally do this, but what the hell... 1. Which is your favourite album? Little Earthquakes, but Choirgirl runs a very close second 2. Best album art? BfP by miles 3. Best album title? Hmmm, not sure about this one. I rather like "To Venus and Back" - the album itself ventures into new territory but revisits familiar friends on the live cd 4. All time fave tori song? am i only allowed to give one answer? if so, it'd have to be "winter", but that seems so unfair to "1000 oceans", "northern lad", "silent all these years", "marianne", "putting the damage on", "your cloud", "hey jupiter" and the rest. 5. Fave song from... Little Earthquakes? "winter" Under the Pink? probably "pretty good year" Boys For Pele? "hey jupiter" >From the Choirgirl Hotel? "northern lad" To Venus and Back? "1000 oceans" Strange Little Girls? "rattlesnakes" Scarlet's Walk? "your cloud" 6. What was your first fave Tori song? "silent all these years" was the reason i bought "little earthquakes" and started this love affair with tori in the first place. 7. Have you ever named a cat/car/plant after a Tori song? i've never owned either a cat or a car, and i'm bad at taking care of plants, so i tend not to get too attached to them just in case... 8. What other things has Tori turned you on to? neil (i think this will be a common answer here), also the cure - after i heard tori cover "lovesong" - "disintegration" remains in my humble opinion one of the top five greatest albums of all time. this list - and the people on it - are at least partially responsible for me getting to know (and in some cases love) a whole bunch of people including sarah mclachlan, ani difranco and most importantly suzanne vega. criminy, i've just read coops' responses to these same questions. i didn't copy you mate, honest, i guess we both just have impeccable taste ;-) re: women in rock - does anyone know if tanya donelly, or kristin hersh, or kim deal, or juliana hatfield, or liz phair got a mention in there? it sounds to me like rolling stone has finally gone senile. that'll be all for now matt -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: Fri, 6 Dec 2002 17:05:56 -0500 From: Cyndi S Crawford <cyndi.crawford@juno.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org, precious-things@smoe.org Subject: trying to help RAINN I need your help, you guys.. here's the deal: I am doing a psychology project--and trying to kill two birds with one stone with it.. the project involves observing people in certain situations, so I had the idea of having myself and my two partners in the project go around and ask people to sign a petition to increase awareness of the fact that RAINN and other rape crisis centers do exist. I originally wanted us to go around and ask for donations, but after I spoke to my teacher about that idea, she informed me that it was a lot riskier (with getting into trouble, etc) than maybe trying to have people sign a petition. so.. after we do this for our grade in the class, I want to continue with this and send the signed petitions to somebody to actually follow through on the whole project, so who should I send the petition to? I was thinking of sending it to RAINN but that didn't sound like it would work after I thought about it, so I'd appreciate some information and tips on who to send it to instead. ANY help at all would really be appreciated.. so.. pleaaaaaaaase? :) thanks! :D Sincerely, Cyndi S.

Prolly someone here knows it..." nope, never heard of it. I know of Anne Rice tho.. I've only heard of her Vampire chronicles tho.. never seen the movies, haven't read the books, etc.. Ade said: "Anyway, today I got really envious of all the people who got to go to Tori concerts this year and meet Tori and get Tori hugs, etc. So I came up with a PLAN. I'm going to write and publish an amazing novel that will get me up on the bestsellers list, and I can move to Cornwall on the royalties. I'll move next door to Tori, and I'll invite her over for tea all the time, babysit Tash, become really good friends with her, etc. And of course, I'll invite all of you over so we can party with Tori! *sigh* In my wildest dreams..." hey now even wildest dreams come true! I'LL HELP!!!!!!!!! Megan did the survey.. and.. "3. Best album title? To Venus and Back... Good album title that goes along with the techno-spaced out sounds." you know, it really bugs me out in a weird (good tho) way how I just think of outer space so much when listening to or thinking of TVAB.. o_O it really really really trips me out. lol.. Megan then commented: "I'm writing a story about a mermaid who kills her children. I'm so fucking great! Hehehe.... self-esteem is an excellent thing!" show it off when it's done!! me wanna seeeee!!! littlebluegirl said from the survey: "Ooh one of my fav things I learned from her was how to play the piano looking all sultry! Its the whole left foot on the right pedal. It cracks me up, but its actually more comfortable when you are short." o_O huh.. kewl.. I'm 5'7".. shortest one in my family. lol.. does that count? or am I too tall? lol.. lucky you got to meet Tori! I'LL MEET HER YET! :P and uh.. that's pretty much all I can think of to say so.. uh.. *MWAH!* g'night everybody! *dives into a closed window and bonks self on head* ow! I have GOT to stop doing that. *stumbles out the door and falls down the stairs* ... I'm okay. Sincerely, Cyndi S.
