Jessica, I own that movie. I'm definitely one of the ones that thinks it's funny. The dvd menus are hilarious. Will Farrel dancing in place and saying "Obey My DOG!" "What's your next piece on the tattoo idea?" Where to begin.... Well I have a decent sized Celtic backpiece so far. I'm itching for something on the girlie side next. I love calla lilies so I was thinking something on my upper left back . And ideas for my future right 1/4 sleeve are possibly a swan surrounded by japanese-esk waves, or a starscape with negative space stars and nautical stars, or an Edward Gorey drawing. Not sure exactly. This will be very far in the future since I'm saving to goto Ireland in march. I would love to find some inspiration there. Possibly grave stone art. I'll have to remember my charcoal and tracing paper. "yes, undies are great. what are your favorite? i'm a hardcore VS fan." Well, I work at a place that sells VS closeout (think $5.99 for a $35.00 bra) so....you can imagine what my paycheck looks like by payday. Plus I get first dibs and a discount. :) Later kids. Werd to yer moms. -Nell -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: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 20:14:09 -0700 (PDT) From: Linda <lindagyne@yahoo.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: skydiving and screennames Bethey wrote: <<I also want to jump out of an airplane one day (not off bridges or buildings though), and would love to learn how to fly (but not in an airplane).>> Oh, definitely go skydiving! I went last fall for my brother's 30th birthday, and it was incredible beyond words. I jumped at Freefall Adventures in south Jersey, and would definitely recommend them. I don't know where in PA you are, but I had to drive well over an hour to get there, and I won't hesitate to say that it was worth the trip. They have highly experienced jumpers (they require you to jump in tandem for your first time, and my instructor had been doing approximately FIFTEEN jumps a day for over 10 years), and the drop height is a lot higher than other places-- 13,500 ft. Their site, if you're interested, is: http://www.freefalladventures.com/ and for info: http://www.freefalladventures.com/skydive/main_student.html Oh, and make sure you get a video of the jump if you decide to go, because it'll all be a blur. Okay... sorry if that seemed like an advertisment. Mmm... and, Jessica mentioned screennames. Mine is LindaGyne on AIM. w00t! ~the Gyne~ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I'm dead SICK of it. ah. okay. got that off my chest. now on with the replies. :D Bethey and her radio show.. seemed to be a success.. YAY! definitely look into expanding. I recommend the internet.. so that we pretty RDTRNers can give it a listen too. :) Bethey said of that: "I played the whole of "The River MusicHall" from RAINN.org (only $10 bucks for a kickass CD, so go get it!) and did 5 promo spots for RAINN during it." you did five promo spots for RAINN? were they pre-recorded, or did you just mention it, or WHAT? what exactly didya do? :) Nell spoke of her indulgences: "For me personally I think my collections are my worst indulgences. Mostly action figures. And since the apartment situation is less than desirable I'm basically just accumulating many LARGE boxes of them. I need a room where I can maniacally dust and catalog my plastic treasures like the true nerd girl that I am." sounds fun.. poor action figures. :-\ my best friend collects Barbies.. and me.. well.. I collect CD's.. if you wanna put it that way. :D I collect--and listen to--CD's. :D Happy belated birthday, Sara and cheefooska Juan! I hope they were fantabulous. :D Bethey said: "I'm a "jack Mormon". My family was among the original founders with J. Smith, and went to Utah with B. Young." wow, sweet.. your family is part of the original founders? TOO sweet. my sister is a converted Mormon cuz she converted so she could marry her husband. :) lovely Dalsh said: "So Tori's putting out a "greatest hits" this year and taking some time off." yeah, but don't tell Tori that. she says she's putting out a Best Of album.. and if you tell her it's a Greatest Hits album, she'll bop you over the head and tell you otherwise. :D Dalsh then said: "No wonder she's been working her butt off over the past few years with everything she's done seemingly nonstop." indeed. *nods* the poor girl must be exhausted by now. :P and I'm sure Tash is just as tired--at least of her mommy being so busy, ya think? Jessica said: "cyndi, what's your AIM name?" it's CiaraRavenBlaze. :D *coughs* okay. time to go back to.. uh.. cleaning my room. yeah, that's it, cleaning my room! so on that note... party naked!

Plus, sucky speakers, but that's more hardware than software. Portishead is the greatest band ever to groove to. There's no one else like them. I like them very much. And also? I have homework tomorrow! And a quiz! And I have to get up at 9, but it's 1 :30 AM and still I am on the computer! How about that!??! I wish I was a rich girl. Na na nah nah nah nah NA na na na NA na na na na. I'd have all the diamonds and the pearls If I were a wealthy giiirrrrllllll I'm very much on a mental teeter-totter right now. Perhaps I'll write again when I'm slightly less insane in the membrane. (Insane in the BRAIN!) Also, every bit of technology in my life is breaking. It's horrible. Obviously, there's some sort of conspiracy going on to drive me Amish. It's terrible. I'll have to wear buttonless outfits and be really hot from lack of air conditioning. Dammit! Salvation is sweaty! It's September 11th. I have nothing to say about that besides that I wish the government wouldn't fight wars that I don't think we need to fight. And I wish we would concentrate more of our funds on rebuilding Afghanistan. They need it, else just another bunch of assholes will rise up and take over that poor country. They've been through enough, as is. *sings* It's only you who can tear me apart And it's only you who can turn my broken heart How Now, Brown Cow?

Yesterday, I went to school at 11AM to man the radio station for an all day tribute to September 11th. I was on the air until about 7, except for two breaks. The first was 20 minutes to "get the pulse of the campus" (dead as a doornail). On my way back, I stopped to see the master of ceremonies for that night's speaker to make sure he got my request to announce the candlelight vigil the Peace Coalition was leading after the speaker. I ended up being invited to an intimate VIP dinner with the guest speaker. Angus Gillespie is a professor at Rutgers and wrote "The Twin Towers", a history of the WTC. There were two dozen guests, mostly faculty, and tables set for four. I ended up sitting at Prof Gillespie's table and getting into interesting convo's regarding the WTC (like the automated window-washer). I asked him point blank what he felt should go there and he replied "A multi-purpose structure for business, retail, memorial and residential." I shook my head. "No, how high?" He (thankfully) replied, "Oh, no more than 70 stories." I agreed and said, "Any taller and it's like saying 'bring em on'." He enthusiastically agreed by commenting on the recent sabotage in Iraq, in response to the President saying that 6 weeks ago. I quite frankly was shocked that I was asked to attend such an intimate gathering. The Prof who asked me didn't know anything about me other than I was President of the Peace Coalition. I was grateful that I had on a nice blouse and jeans, though with warning I would have dressed up. My Professor was there ("let's be friends" professor), he arrived late and his jaw dropped when he saw me sitting at the VIP table. Then he completely ignored me and sat at the far side of the room. He is so scared of me. I just came on too hard and frightened him witless. So I decided I would shine a bit this year so he couldn't help but notice me. I just never dreamed of shining this bright with no effort. My radio show is becoming a hit, played in the lounge outside the cafe, and others tell me they catch some of it on other TV's. The art class is going to turn it on. The Peace Coalition is growing bit by bit (only a dozen at the vigil though), and I'm organizing a teach-in for the end of this month about the importance of voting (yes, my professor is supposed to be on the panel). I'm hearing rumors that I'm the Student Ambassador choice, but I know two others who have applied and have a good chance also. My 911 (Silver Skins) poem was printed in the school paper, a full page. I wanted to shine. I just never dreamed...
