Hi Anne!
Yes, I had a good time Sunday night. Kristen couldn’t make it so it was me, Shelly and Danielle. We ate at Abates (pronounced a-ba-tays). Its a pasta and seafood resturant. Yum! We saw Scary Movie 2 again. Well, Shelly didn’t see it and I promised her I would see it with her. we had a lot of time to kill between dinner and the movie so we hung around Barnes & Noble. I’m so proud of myself- I didn’t buy anything! I don’t think I could ever work there- I would blow my paychecks on books! You know, when we were eating a thought struck me. I was completely relaxed and myself. I didn’t worry about stuff dribbling down my chin or worrying that Shelly thought I was eating too much or worry about everything I said. Now if I were out on a date …. well, I’d probably be a nervous wreck! Isn’t it a shame that when we are with friends we can relax and totally be ourselves but with a guy, even if we try to "just be ourselves" we’ll somehow put a "mask" on? I mean, even with my male e-pals I have, I carefully weigh in my mind everything I say before I type it. I wonder if we’ll ever get to a place where we could be comfortable around anyone, reguardless of whether it was a guy or a gal.
Whew! Glad to know I’m not the only one who "poses" in front of the mirror! Yes, I give, sultry looks too! "What? Chaz is here?! Oh my, where is the little devil? Chaz! My goodness it’s been so long? What? You’ve quit drinking and asked Christ into your heart and you want to marry me and make love to me every day for the rest of our lives? Of course I’ll marry you! Come here, lover!" Yeah, when I daydream, I go all out!
Too bad about the N’ Sync tickets. I have no idea about the trivia question. Maybe I’ll e-mail the question to my friend Carie. She’s a huge N’ Sync fan. Maybe she’ll know. Did I ever tell you I won free movie passes when I saw The Mummy Returns for the first time? Yeah, before the movie started one of the theather employess was giving away passes. Well, first she asked for a voulenteer to "walk like an egyptian". Well, I wasn’t going to do that! A teenaged girl did. Then she asked a triva question "In The Mummy, what is the name of The City Of The Dead?" Well, the answer is "Humanaptra". I wouldn’t have known the answer, but it just so happened that I watched The Mummy on video the night before and I remembered the name. My hand shot up and I won the tickets! I used them on Shrek a couple weeks later by-the-way.
I hope you’ll be able to go to CA. Oh, so your boss is the ’say it once and then drop it’ types? Not my bosses. Both Joanne and Nora will mention something more than once. I guess that’s a good thing, huh?
That be so cool if you could come out here to visit!! Could you imagine me you and Danielle tearing up the town? (lol). Or maybe you and I could go to CA and "stalk" Arnold Vosloo! I think he’s living in CA. I know he has a home in his hometown of Capetown, SA but I don’t know if he lives there full time. Good lord, if all the men in SA are as good looking as him, I think I’d want to live there! No, knowing my "luck" all the good looking men would be taken!"
Yeah, Cosmo isn’t a magazine with "values". I don’t even know why I wasted my money on it all those years. I like Mode. It focuses more on fashion and beauty and the models are realisticly buitlt (the magazine is for women size 12 and up). I’m so used to the curvy Mode models that when I see covers of the other fashion magazines I think "Holy cow, she’s too thin!" You can check it out at www.modemag.com . Another magazine I love is Readers Digest. Whenever they give sex advice its always to married couples. They even once did a nice article defending virginity. I’m sorry, Cosmo, but as a virgin, I have more sensuality than someone with "expirence".
******************************************************************
movie- Field Of Dreams
tv show- Beyond Chance
cd- N’ Sync- no strings attached (esp Bye Bye Bye)
funny moment- from the Facts Of Life. The girls were getting ready for bed and Blair wanted to sleep with the window open. She opens it and is inspired and recites this poem. At the end she says wistfully "The Window by Emily Dickinson." Jo comes over and slams the window shut and says, "It’s Freezing! Jo Polnechek!"

questions answered
last time when I went swimming- when I went to Disneyworld for the first time in Sept 97
If I could interview one of my celebrity crushes, what would I ask? Can I be your love slave? (lol). No, seriously, I would ask what their favorite role was? Thier dream role? who they would love to work with? if they wern’t an actor or actress what would they be doing? Where do you see yourself ten years form now? How would you like to be remembered?
what are some modern convienices real & fictional I would like to have? I like your idea about the robotic butler. HOw about a robotic version of me so lifelike no one can tell the difference. I’ll send her to work for me!
********************************************************************
new questions-
when you write in your journal/diary do you use the same colored pen? I switch off by months. Janurary-blue Feb-black, mar-blue … (you get it)
do you ever practicly "trip over something" and then when you want to find it, you can’t seem to find it anywhere?- happens all the time?
You’re somewhere and one of your crushes is there too. Would you want him to see you first or vise versa? If you saw him first would you approach him? Would you want him to approach you?- Ok, I’m thinking about Chaz here. I don’t know if I would want to see him first. I mean, I do because I will have a chance to "get my bearings" but if he approached me I don’t know if I could fake acting "surprised" you know? I would definitely want him to approach me first. Even better yet, I would like for us to just see each other at the exact same moment so whatever our first reaction would be it would be natural.
have you/would you go out on a blind date?- I don’t know. Maybe I would if I saw a picture of the man beforehand. Does that sould shallow?
do you prefer word searches or crossword puzzles?- Crossword puzzles
******************************************************************
Well, that’s about it for now. Sorry this is pretty short. I have to get ready for work and run some errands. Till next time, take care and God bless!
