Subject: Strike the pose!

Ola, Michele!

Did you have a good time on your evening out? What movie did you see and was it any good? I had a dull yet sweaty weekend. (Sharing too much?) I’m pretty pleased with my studying effort over the weekend; I plan to cram/study a bit more after I send this email to you.

I went to two inventory gigs yesterday. My sister claims that she will call ***** this week and see about coming to work with us part-time there also. I think it will be great for her to get out of the house and see that she does have options.

I do pose in front of the mirror when putting on makeup! I have one of those tri-fold vanity mirrors so I can see different angles; every morning I’ll be sitting there singing/dancing/be-bopping around practicing giving serious, sultry looks. And, like you, I think, "I’m sorry but I am gorgeous!" Yet, there in the pictures is that "pale, big-nosed, square-faced, frizzy-haired freak."

I can also relate to how your hair looks great right before bed time, but when it’s time to go out: hello, bad hair day!

They cheated me on those N Sync ticket contests: most of them required contestants to be present at the place where the DJ’s were broadcasting. Finally, they were taking the 10th caller; I tried a couple of times and of course the phone was busy. (Exactly how does anyone win those things?) I will say that I’d rather the phone be busy than to get through and be the wrong number of caller. This morning one station was asking NSync trivia for four tickets. Man I wish I had known it! The question was "Justin Timberlake ‘wants to be Mark.’ What does that mean?" The additional clue was that Justin had auditioned for Spike Lee for this part. I truly had no idea! I never did hear the answer because I had to come in to work and my work radio won’t pick up any station outside of a 10-mile radius.

About going to California, there’s no telling when I’ll know if or when I get to go. My boss is one of those that says anything that pops into his head, even when he has no intention of pursuing it further. (As a side note, I’ve decided that he hasn’t said anything about my new hairdo because he doesn’t want me to claim harassment. That is how his mind works!)

About coming to Pittsburgh to visit, I have thought about that also. I don’t know when,  but I can see it happening!

I agree with your thoughts on Cosmo; they do act as if being a virgin was bad and abnormal. I recall one quote that they had from some "guy" (read "jerk") that said he preferred a woman with experience. So he would want a slut? Apparently! And "just go out and do it" sounds exactly like what they would say to a virgin. That makes me a bit angry also; it’s very irresponsible of them to be that casual about sex. And like you said, what about impressionable people that read that mess and think, "Oh, this is how it’s supposed to be"? Most of the views they express about many issues differ from mine; I don’t know why Sara buys it. She is in the same boat we are: about as opposite of the "typical" Cosmo type as you can get.

I must cut this letter a bit short today; I believe I mentioned my Cram Plams … oops …. Cram Plans.

Questions answered

If you were an actress, would you want to be "typecasted" (ie the virginal good girl, the slutty bad girl) or would you want to play a variety of roles?- definitely a variety. I think that’s what all actresses want, so they can show their incredible range/skill.

have you ever caught the bridal boquet at a wedding?- no

do you have piles of books that you have to get to and yet you keep on buying more books?- yes

ok, you said you prefer pudding over jello.  What flavor of pudding do you like the most?  Ummmmm….. Ccchhhoooccccoollllaattte…

If you’re watching a movie and a steamy sex scene comes on and your mom walks in the room, do you turn it off?  Good question! I wouldn’t turn it off, but I would probably try to start a conversation to distract her!

If you could afford plastic surgery, what would you have done to yourself- I would have a nose job for sure! I might also have my thighs liposuctioned.

if you had to rate your life on a scale of  1-10, 1 being so miserable you’d wish you were dead, and 10 being absoultely, blissfully, perfect, how would you rate it?  8 (9 some days!)

NEW QUESTIONS -

When was the last time you went swimming/to the swimming pool? I don’t remember for sure! It was probably in the late 90’s - I know I haven’t been this millenium.

If you could interview one of your celebrity crushes (for whatever reason) what would you ask? "Will you marry me?" Just kidding! I’d ask some of the basics - about their current projects, past work, etc. I’d also want to think of something good/original like … oh! Like some of the questions we’ve been asking here! "Describe a very memorable day; what are things you want to accomplish in your life; if you thought you were alone and a hidden camera was watching you, what would it see?"

What are some "modern conveniences" - real or fictional - that you would like to have? I’d like a robotic butler to carry my things and clean our house. I’d love a car that could start up and come get me (like the Batmobile) when I wanted it to.

Watch out for emails from unfamiliar sources - especially ones that have a message about "take a look at the attached documents." I just got one today, which I promptly deleted and then deleted it from my trash bin. I figure it got my email address from one of my contact email lists, so it might get your address from me! When it doubt, delete that %$#@!

That’s about it for now. Talk to you soon! God bless!
