It's been a very long time since I de-lurked. Over a year and a half, but here goes... Met a fellow ewf,(W), at school, yea!!! I was so excited! I've never met someone else in person that feels the way I do. It was so cool. We both came to school one day with Tori shirts on. We saw each other, screamed, ran toward each other, and hugged. It was a Tori Moment. We are planning on going to the Dallas show in April together. It's going to be so fun! LOVE the new album. I think it is one of her best albums yet. It's all I've been listening to for the past couple days. I have yet to get the book, but (W) has it and I've read a "piece" or two. I read what she wrote about Mother Revolution (one of my favorites) and I just cried. It was like she was telling me about myself. CRAZY! I'm waiting until next paycheck to buy the book myself but I can't wait to read the rest. Anyway, I probably won't de-lurk again until after the concert. So... bye *poof* __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.

I went to bed at 6:00pm and woke up at midnight, all energized to go through my Inbox. I've got 256 messages cleared out and a few replies written. I feel very virtuous, and I will soon go back to bed. Megan CA (welcome back!) said: > Their lists were all full of plus signs. I had one name and no plus > signs, no circles. What sort of college student am I, to have no > plus signs on my list? First of all, remember that people lie about sex all the time. When I was young, mostly boys pretended they weren't virgins when they were, and girls pretended they were virgins when they weren't. These days, probably it's one way in the red states and the opposite in the blue. It's a good idea to take all reports with a grain of salt. More importantly, though, a lot of people start with somebody they have mixed feelings about, or when they have mixed feelings about the whole idea, and then they feel bad about it later. Of course, some are more pragmatic about it. My ex-wife decided in high school that it was time she had sex, so she selected an appropriate boy (one who wouldn't be after anything long-term) and had sex with him. She's more practical than most people about these things. Madame Ade (welcome back to you, too!) said: > No sex yet, despite a few failed attempts. Take things slowly, dearie. I agree. No hurry. Funny how the "failed attempts" never appear in movies (at least not in serious movies). No wonder people think they're messed up, when the movie sex they see has so little relationship to reality. Cyndi said: > has anyone else felt similarly with Tori--or other artists like her? > I mean the yapping about her/them and then getting an absolute blank look > (or worse, "...WHO?") bit and so on? Very often. (::feels rant coming on::) The music world is very fragmented these days. Radio stations each play only one kind of music, for example. When I was young, Top 40 radio stations played the top 40 songs on the charts, regardless of style. Jefferson Airplane followed by Frank Sinatra followed by The Archies followed by Bob Dylan followed by Desmond Dekker followed by Tammy Wynette followed by that music from Dr. Zhivago. People complained about it at the time (hence the birth of FM radio), but it was really pretty cool. Now, I'd guess that most of the people I work with have never heard of Tori. And I've never heard of most of the music they listen to either. On a positive note, for a while, most of the younger people I was talking to were musicians, mostly female, and (no surprise) they all knew all about Tori. I've listened to the new album, but I'll have to listen to it more before I have any real comments about it. Two things I'm enjoying watching are "I Heart Huckabees," which is wonderful (though parts are uncomfortable to watch, but that's the idea) and a live David Bowie DVD which I bought on impulse, which I like a lot (at least parts). It's no Sunny Florida, but I wasn't expecting it to be. As B/4, John -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, 1 Mar 2005 04:36:18 -0800 From: Violet <fluffy@annihilist.com> To: rdtrn@torithoughts.org Subject: I'm on TV! (sort of) Okay, so Kim, our friend Steve, and I had an entry in the Power Tool Drag Races this past June and the Discovery Channel was here filming the event. The second and third episodes (there are four episodes, total) are the ones containing our races; they will be airing on the Discovery Channel the next two Mondays, March 7th and 14th at 8pm and 11pm. Our team ("Chain Hur") is one of the ones highlighted on the show. We were followed around by the crew for several weeks as the dragster was built and ultimately raced. It was so much fun! (I was a ghost member of the team, refusing to be filmed or have my name included -- I'm probably one of the few people in the world who does NOT want to be on TV -- but when we watched our preview tapes of the finished program, courtesy of the producers, I saw that they did indeed succeed in getting shots of me here and there for a few seconds despite my best efforts. No, I will not tell you which one is me because I look like a dork!) The show on US TV is editted down by 5 minutes per episode for more commercials, so I won't know which bits are cut until the shows actually air, but the folks in Europe, the UK, and Oz will get to see the full uncut 49-minute version and I guarantee you, I *am* in there. Folks will get to see a small section of my warehouse space, as a lot of filming was done at our home. Even though they did a lot of filming here, the bits in our place only make up a small portion of the finished product, lasting only a few seconds. But whenever you see shots of Kim and Steve inside in front of black curtains and there's a piano behind them, that's my baby. In close-ups on Kim, look for my mic and Olivia music box (on the left of the screen) and my favorite peach checkerboard candle (on the right) behind him. (The sheet music propped on the piano is "Summertime". I wish I'd had the foresight to put one of Tori's music books up there as a wink to all the EWF, but I didn't think of it until afterwards.) What you cannot see in the shots is all my recording equipment (to the left of the screen). In some frames, you may be able to spy a table with orange fabric draped over lumpy objects; that fabric is covering all the recording stuff. I was responsible for decorating the chainsaw, and I made the Gladiator Barbie (the "Gladiatrix") that rides on top of it. She got a lot of attention. Everyone wanted to take her home, but she's mine!!! I'll be putting an entry up about it in my Livejournal some time on Monday and will probably include a few photos. http://www.livejournal.com/users/violetiae/ Our race in the March 7th episode is against a pink plushpigtoything. Do we win? Watch and find out.

Some dolphins, birds and sunsets await you here: http://bethcoulter.myphotoalbum.com You can either watch the slide show, or go through the pics individually by clicking on the intro pic. Or, of course, do both. I'm working on getting my web page updated also. Until then, enjoy the photos!
