Subject: I’m cheating on Arnold!
Hi Anne!
To answer your first question in the "new questions" section, yes, I did see Jurassic Park tonight with Danielle. It wasn’t as good as the first one, but I liked it. I probably liked it as much as the second one. I was on the edge of my seat a few times, grabbing Danielle’s hand and saying "Holy sh*&" as quietly as I possibly could. Sam Neil is to die for! Oh, that New Zealand accent! Yummy! Alas, I was cheating on Arnold big time tonight!
I’m glad you like your haircut. It is so cute! Since I know what you look like now (well, I have known) I think: ‘ Anne’s a pretty, sweet girl! And she’s still single? What the heck is wrong with these guys today?’ This thought has crossed my mind about myself oh, about a dozen times a day! Not that I’m stuck up or anything, but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say!
Oh, yeah, The Mummy Returns is going to be out the day after your birthday! Maybe you should start hinting to your mom and Sara now about it. 
Every year around my birthday and Christmas, I’ll write a "wish list" for Danielle of things I’d like to have. Every year, somewhere on the list I’ll write so-and-so naked, and tied to my bed. This year its Arnold Vosloo (lol).
Congrats on your Angel site being voted #1! I know you just took over it, but I’m sure you feel really proud about it, and you deserve to be! I’m glad you deleted the "this site sucks" comment from the guest book. Why do people have to be so darn nasty? Hey, did you see that Danielle signed the guest book to Chez Anne? Ok, let me explain the tee-hee flip hair thing. A few years ago Danielle had a crush on this guy, Rick. Anyway, this other girl, Lisa had her eyes on him too and she ran after him. Danielle is like me and believes that the man should do the pursuing, YADDA, YADDA, YADDA. Well, to make a long story short, Rick and Lisa went out and fooled around and Danielle said it didn’t bother her, but I can tell that it did. Lisa would have this annoying habit of "flipping" her hair whenever she laughed. So when Danielle would imitate Lisa (in private) she would say "tee-hee flip hair." Yeah, I know, pretty stupid, but Danielle was being in a silly mood that day!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who stayed at a job because I was afraid to move on! Right now I’m at ***** because I truly think that’s where God wants me to be for the moment, and there is nothing new on the horizon, but I like your "go for it" attitude. I can’t see it now, but maybe a golden opportunity will come up for me sometime in the near (or maybe far) future. When it does, I’m not going to let it slip away!
I believe too that when I meet my soul mate I wont feel awkward. I think I was just having an "off" day on Sunday. My mom and I had a huge fight before I left for work and I had that on my mind.
Yet once again, we are on the same wave-length because I too, want to meet such an extraordinary man in such an ordinary way (like waiting in line at the grocery store). I always have it in my mind that I’m going to meet him, walking down the street. We accidentally bump into each other and while we apologize profusely, our eyes will lock and in that instant we will somehow just know. Some days when I get really lonely and scared that I’ll be alone for the rest of my life, I’ll ask God not only to give me strength, but to also give my future husband strength as well and I can actually feel my future husband praying for me. So I have to wonder, "why on earth should I even worry about this?"
Ok, I need your advice about something. I figured I can trust you enough now that I can say pretty much anything to you. It’s about (GULP!) sex. Ok, here goes: I’m a virgin, I really want to remain a virgin until I’m married, I pray every day for God to give me the strength to remain a virgin until I marry. Nothing new, right? It probably also won’t surprise you when I say that I think about sex constantly. I think about it constantly, and yet I’m scared to death of it. The total act of it (from start to finish, the moans, the groans, the bedsprings squeaking, and everything else) freaks me out and yet I’m fascinated by it and wildly curious about it. I’m hoping that my fear is God’s way of protecting me because He knows how (ahem!) horny I get and He doesn’t want me to do something I’ll regret later. Also, say I’m somewhere and Arnold Vosloo is there too. He isn’t an actor or anything, just a regular joe. He walks over to me and stares into my eyes with those piercing eyes and he holds out his hand to me. I know that once I take his hand, my virginity will be gone forever. Anne, I honestly can say I wouldn’t know what to do! I’m ashamed to say, that I’d probably end up taking his hand, and I know that is so wrong! I mean, sure a one night stand would feel good at the moment, but what about after? Of course the guy is going to dump me the next morning. I guess my mind is in fantasy. in my fantasy, the man would meet me, make love to me right away and want to spend the rest of his life with me. This is why I have to stay close to God and not rely so much on my fantasies! I’d appreciate any advice you can give on this!

questions answered!
already answered the Jurassic Park 3 question!
about how much time do I spend a week on the internet?- about 20 hours
Do I consider myself a romantic person?- In some aspects. I’m a huge sucker for "fantasy" and medieval romance. Also I love stories about elderly couples who have been married 40, 50, 60 years and whose love stood the test of time. I can’t help but be cynical when I see young couples get married now. I think ‘what’s the chances of them still being together 50 years from now?’
If I saw an old crush with his wife, would I want them to stop and speak to me?- NO
Have I ever been to a class reunion?- no, but my tenth will be coming up next year. I’m not sure if I’ll be going or not.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
new questions!
when you go to the movies, who do you usually go with?- Danielle
do you know how to sew or knit or crochet?- no
do you believe in ufo’s/extraterrestrials?- yes
How would you feel if you found out one of the men you had a crush on had died?- I would feel awful!
when you have a "to do" list, do you usually do what you want to do first, or do what you least want to do first so you can get it out of the way?- I try to get what I least want to do as soon as possible so it won’t be hanging over my head.
has your name ever been mentioned on the radio?- Yes! Back in 1995 Danielle wrote to the dj of my favorite morning radio show and asked if he could wish me a happy birthday and play "Nights In White Satin" (one of my all time favorite classic rock songs). He did! I even have it on tape! Oh! I just remembered about you winning that radio contest, so I guess your name was said over the radio!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well, that’s all for now. I hope you got my pictures ok. I’m sure you’ll get them by Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. Till next time, take care and God bless!
