Can you tell someone they owe you rent? Better yet, can you just walk up to someone you've known for 6 months and say, "I just noticed you were my soulmate. Do you remember we promised to meet again?" Discuss.

Hola mes amies! I currently have the Gary Oldman version of "My Way" stuck in my head and I still have 8 papers to write by next monday and an hours worth of logic homework to do and a story to edit and write and RAH! Summer school, summer school, rah rah rah. It sucks, but it's worth it, I think, in the long run. Yesterday I counted up how many more classes I'll need to take in order to graduate (excluding the history minor I've been thinking about declaring). 13 more classes. Thir-fucking-teen. This is my first year of college, including summer school. I have 5 more classes for my humanities and 8 more classes in my major. I already have my fall semester filled out, but figuring that I take 6 classes a semester, I'll still be out. OUT! In 3 more semesters (considering how one class is only a lab, so I can probably take 7 classes in one semester) and just...wow. You know? Wow. College hasn't really done anything for my writing. In fact, it's made me so busy that I don't have TIME to write. And when I do have time, I'm so exhausted from not sleeping that I can't write, because I shoot out the best stories when I'm wide awake. And school, especially summer school, is NOT letting me get enough sleep. But 13 classes.... If I take pre-session next year (which I might), I'll be able to get another class under my belt and I'll definitely be out of here and... What am I gonna do? I mean, I want to write and I WILL sell stories and I WILL get a cult following because, dammit, that's the type of stuff I write; the stuff that attracts the weirdos and the freaks. Like me. For example, my "A Mother's Love" story, http://www.fictionpress.com/read.php?storyid=1190934 , was reviewed by this summer writers group I'm joining (Alpha) and Ade told me that individual sources thought it was great and strong and stuff, but they hated it. You see, that's the kind of review I'm gonna be getting for the rest of my life from critics. Good writing, but it made me want to kill myself. So how do I deal with that? Blah, I don't know. But 13 more classes. I can do that. I so can do that. And I won't be wasting my time in college...I'll be wasting my time in a basement apartment while working at Chi-Chi's! But oh well. I'm going to go do something else now. Au revoir, mes amies! How Now, Brown Cow? Megan Christine Auffart *************************************** "I like money better than people.

Toyota Corolla == solid; Even if rusty (which older ones have probs with) they're solid. What it took to break mine was to shove it in the middle of an F350. Broke the F350 in half, crunched a little of the engine of the toyota. Pretty good I'd day. (their fault - they cut me off and I was on the highway going 70. I was not breaking speed limit and they had plenty of space to see me) I was quite happy with that car. It took all kinds of abuse and kept on going. The worst trouble I ever had with one directly was after the accident we had this spare car (dead engine) in the backyard for spare parts and one day when we were using it for target practice with a morning star, the morning star decided to bite me back. Hurt for a couple of weeks. Pretty fair I'd say :) Anyways I'm happy with my copcars now. I'm on my second.... or third really but the first ('81 zephyr) doesn't really count as it didn't have any of the /special features/. In the second - '85 Crown Vic - the engine's spitting out more propane fumes than I can handle but my boss is still driving it. He likes it. (it's his car). The current one is a '97 Crown Vic that needs only a little more work to be factory+. It's a Police Interceptor brand Crown Vic with modified suspension, additional interior lights, the holes in the back and roof for the grills and lights and dual fuel... and REALLY nice mileage. Almost as good as that old Toyota.. :) Okay I'm dead tired. I normally only think about cars when I'm talking with other people who like 'em. I much prefer social stuff... *silly grin* Although this lady I know (a good friend) who got carried away with her car stereo - SHE I will talk cars, hockey and a bunch of other stuff with. She came in 3rd in loud stereo competition in the first one she entered - the folks who installed her car stereo asked her to show up at such-and-such a place at such-and-such a time without telling her what she was getting into... Fun thoughts, it was a fun story. Lots more bits but tooooo tired.... > $$$ Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weeny digest $$$ At least it's not yellow and polkadoted. Or has a Miss Piggy hiding out in the changing stall... Kermit and Miss Piggy singing this song is REALLY silly... G'day, eh? :) - Winterlion -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: Tue, 17 Jun 2003 07:35:53 -0400 From: Cyndi S Crawford <cyndi.crawford@juno.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: trapped in hiding! Howdy folks! I'm gonna go ahead and reply to the last two or three RDTRN's I've gotten (just general computer-related confusion that resulted in the loss of some of the new digests and la de da....) and skip the others. I've been in hiding this quarter.. let's blame it on geometry. :D seriously.. tomorrow is my LAST DAY.. my LAST FINAL.. in bloody MATH. gaaack! so wish me luck! Anyway, yes, I'm still alive.. now on with the replies! :) Lori said: "I'm also wondering what to do next in my life. I'm 29 years old, and I feel I've reached an impasse." Hmmm.... well.. what haven't you done yet? Try bungee-jumping or skydiving or something else equally exciting. :) John K asked me of Tori on CMT: "Why does it bug you? Shouldn't it make you happy that as an artist Tori is able to expand her horizons to other people that may not be exposed to her music?" it MOSTLY bugs me that it's kind of offering her chances to be LABELED.. more than anything, now that I've actually THOUGHT about it.. but.. my first initial fear was "ACK! COUNTRY MUSIC, run away!". *shrug* that's not my fear anymore tho.. now it's just.. "ack!! they're gonna label her as country now!" ... Tori cannot be labeled and I don't even wanna see any attempts at it sometimes. Bethey, good luck with your Peace Studies course! and that was a kewl poem. I liked it a lot. :) Jessica, have a fun trip! Peter: there's a show called "Controversy" and they covered Tim McGraw's song "Outlaw Indian" and interviewed Tori as well as lots of other people.. and I *think* she also made a singing appearance on there--or is going to. Now.. on THAT note.. I better skedaddle. gotta get to school! ciao! :) Sincerely, Cyndi S.

Well, speaking for myself, I don't think so, since I don't have an online journal or a blog. I think the impulse is somewhat different, but that's just my opinion. I have noticed that some people have used this list as an on-line journal (even easier than getting a LiveJournal), and I'd rather have fewer digests than digests full of journal entries. I thought I was going to be on jury duty for four weeks, so I had the books I was going to read all picked out, but then I got sent home (they had too many people), so I had to go back to work. Oh, well. I saw the new Matrix movie, and here are my top ten reactions: 10. I miss Joe Pantoliano. 9. Zion is cool, though I'm not sure how it was built. 8. I hadn't even realized that Anthony Zerbe was in the movie, so that was a pleasant surprise. 7. I was confused for a few minutes when two new characters were introduced, one named Lock and the other named Link. 6. Too many fights, especially since everybody in the movie obviously has the same fight trainer. Some of the fights don't have much of a point, either. 5. The car chase was very exciting. 4. The Keymaker was very good, and the use of the character was very clever. 3. The Matrix has more Black people in it than all the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, X-Men and so on. It reminds me of the graffiti Bethany and I saw right after seeing the first Lord of the Rings movie, "Too many white people, but elves are hot." Which was true, but wouldn't it have been cool if all the elves were Black? It would have put a whole different spin on Elrond's reluctance to have Arwen marry Aragorn. 2. The doors! What a great idea, and implicit in the matrix being a computer program (but I never thought of it, of course). You can go to a web page and click on the same link you always use, but if somebody has changed the code, you'll go to a completely different place. It's the same basic concept. Very cool (and not overused). 1. "Misssster Aaaanderson!" Agent Smith is still the coolest. Though having a hundred of him doesn't make him 100 times cooler, rather the opposite.
