Subject: you’d make a perfect "accessory" for Angel!

Hi Anne!
 
Yes, I signed your guestbook!  The pictures are very nice.  I only wish I could send you a pic of me.  I’ll have to invest in a scanner. I also want to get a cd burner.  My friend, Carie has one and they’re totally cool. And yes, you would look great on David (wicked laugh)!
 
This might sound a bit self-indulgent, but I wouldn’t mind at all if you would mention me on your website!  Maybe you’ve thought about it.  If you did, then it’s okay with me!  If I ever started my own site, would it be okay if I mentioned you?
 
re:confidence:  there are some days when I feel so good and up and I’m on the ball and I know just what to say and everything clicks and I’m outgoing and assertive.  Then there are some days when I feel so off kilter.  I can’t focus or concentrate.  I get really shy.  When someone asks me a simple question, my mind goes totally blank!  I bump into things and drop things ….ugh!  I just want to run home and hide under the covers! 
 
Yes, there is no doubt that my husband will be a Christian, but I don’t want a "crazy-religious zealot-everything is sinful" Christian.  I’ve known a lot of weird Christians in my life, especially when I lived in my old neighborhood. A few examples:  Jim was a guy who worked at the grocery store I worked at.  He was married to Sue.  They had two daughters: Rachel and Sarah.  They were, oh, I guess four and two.  They were so strange (the parents, not the kids).  Well, first of all they were’nt the most cleanest people I’ve known.  Sometimes when he would go to work I could smell uh, his bo (gross)!  I’m sorry but if I had to marry either him or Chaz (who i’m pretty sure wasn’t a Christian) I would pick Chaz in a heartbeat.  The kids were always dirty too.  Clothes dirty, dirty faces, dirty hair.  They were so cute too.  And Jim and Sue were always screaming at them.  He would always wear these religious tee-shirts and he would talk to his co-workers about Jesus and all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that in it itself, but how can anyone take a dirty, smelly, pantywaste of a guy seriously?  HE was such a wimp.  The wife wore the pants in the family.  He would give all his paychecks to her and she would give him an allowance!  Oh, yeah, just the kind of man I want!  another example-there was a woman customer who had a daughter-Cindy.  I forgot the mother’s name- lets just call her "Nutty" .   Anyway, "Nutty" was one of those "Jesus bless your day" always quoting the Bible-kind of Christians.  Anyway while "Nutty" was so focused on blessing everyone and memorizing the Bible cover-to-cover, Cindy got pregnant (I think she was sixteen).  Hello?  Where does it say in the Bible that its ok for unmarried teenagers to have sex?  Why don’t you talk to your daughter?  Cindy had a daughter and guess what?  not too long after that she got pregnant again!!  Maybe "Nutty’s" God and my God are different, because my God wants people to wait until they are not only married, but also mature to have children, let alone have sex!  I don’t know, it boggles my mind!
 
Please don’t think I’m this judgmental bitch.  I know as Christians, it isn’t right for us to judge, but sometimes it annoys me so much when people who aren’t Christians, look at people like Jim and "Nutty" and conclude that’s what Christianity is about.  I want to jump up and say, "Hello?  I’m a Christian!  I’m clean!  I’m normal!"
 
Sara sounds like Danielle.  I’ll say all these wicked things and her face will turn red and she’ll say things like, "I’m not listening to this, Michele!"  While I will go into detail about what I would like to do to men like Arnold and Mitch, Danielle keeps very private about whatever fantasies she might have.  I’ll say things in front of my mom too.  She’ll try to act shocked, but I can tell she’s trying not to laugh.
 
you mentioned the band Otown.  isn’t that the group that was created by that show "Making The Band"?
 
I’m very frustrated right now.  I skipped my period for June and my whole body is out of wack.  There are like four zits on my chin, I’m bloated, I’m irritable, and I think maybe that’s part of the reason why my back has been bothering me.  Damn.  Also when I skip a month. the next month I get double the cramps.  Double Damn.
 
Do you realize we’ve been e-mailing each other about two months now?  I’ve probably told you more about myself than I’ve told some of my friends that I’ve known for several years!  Don’t you feel honored?
 
new questions answered:
 
do I cook?- (I was going to ask you this!)  No.  I hope I marry a man who doesn’t mind frozen dinners and takeout.(lol).  No, I will seriously try to make an effort once I’m married.
 
do I paint my nails? (I was going to ask you this!)  yes.  both toe and fingernails.  I didn’t use to paint my nails.  theen when I moved here, that’s when I started.  Go figure, huh?
 
do I wear jewelry?- watch, necklace, earrings.  Sometimes I’ll wear a bracelet and sometimes I’ll wear rings, but I won’t wear rings at work.  Last year I lost my cross ring my mom got for me for my 18th birthday.  I was so upset about that, I cried for days!
 
weird things I do that I will admit?-  I’ll sneak up behind Danielle and my mom while they are on the computer and put things in their hair!
 
who/what I think is sexy-  (this may take awhile!)- Arnold Vosloo (body, eyes, mouth, voice)
Mitch Pileggi (body, voice), Tim Daly (eyes, chest, voice), confidence in a man, someone who goes after what he wants, a sense of humor, men with accents (Arnold, Mel Gibson, Sam Neil, Liam Nesson), bald men (not all!) men who wear glasses (not all!), broad, hairless (or not very hairy) chests,  A small, sly grin, A man who takes control of a situation,  a deep, sexy voice, intense eyes,  Clean shaven men or men with moustaches.  Men who smell like they just stepped out of the shower.  Big hands!  I like what you said about "guys standing behind me, pressing real close and whispering in my ear"  Chaz did that once and I just about died!  I have a lot more to add, but that’s all I can think of for now.
 
Recommendations
 
movie- Deep Impact (I saw While You Were Sleeping and I love it!)
tv show- Three’s Company
cd- Pink Floyd-The Wall
 
funny sitcom moment- its an episode of Full House  DJ and Kimmy are in charge of the entertainment at some jr high dance and at the last minute the band backs out.  So DJ gets Uncle Jesse to front a replacement band.  Here, its the marching band!  He walks up to the microphone and dryly says into it "DJ Tanner, report to the stage immediately!" (lol)
 
new questions-
 
how old were you when you started your period? how did you feel about it?-  I was thirteen and I cried.  I thought "oh no!  I don’t want this to happen!"
 
fave authors?- Steven King, VC Andrews, Frank Peretti, Lois Duncan, Judy Blume
 
are your grandparents still living?- my only living grandparent is my paternal grandmother.  My paternal grandfather died when I was six and my maternal grandparents passed away in 1998 and 1999
 
do you have any other e-mail/pen pal friends besides me?- yes.  Ingrid, Dana, Misty, Alison (she’s from England), Lena(she’s from Russia), Joe and George.
 
were you ever teased in grade and/or high school?- Yes!  I was really picked on  when I was in grade school.  I was chubby and painfully shy- a fatal combination.  I remember coming home from school every day and going up to my room and crying.  I thought it would get worse when I started high school, but thank God, I didn’t get bothered much.  Even now, when I think about some of the things my grade school classmates said and did to me, it still bothers me.
 
any hidden talents?- when someone is pregnant, I can usually guess the sex.  I can put makeup on without using a mirror (and do a pretty decent job of it!) I can stuff my whole fist in my mouth.  Is that a talent?  (my future husband might be interested in that!)
 
have you ever had a crush on a cartoon character?- My mom tells me I had a crush on Speed Racer when I was five or six (I’ll take her word for it!)  I had crushes on the Peter and Egon characters on The Real Ghostbusters, and I was practically in lust with John Smith in Pocahontas.  Hey, Mel Gibson did his voice, what do you expect?
 
I know you’re a vegetarian but if you had to choose, do you prefer hot dogs or hamburgers? hamburgers
 
do you sleep with a light on?  Sometimes.  It depends if I just watched or read something scary!
 
do you have any tattoos and/or piercings (besides the ones in your ears?)- nope. 
 
 
Well, that’s about it for now.  Oh!  you mentioned you we’re looking for a poster for David.  Have you tried www.allwall.com ?  try there.  Good luck with it!  Take care and God bless!
