Subject: Whee! I had fun!
Hi Anne!
I had such a good time at Kennywood yesterday! The only drawback was it was sooo hot! It was like almost 90 degrees. Talk about roasting! That sun really drains you. We spent about 8 hours there from 11-7. It was a lot of fun. I’m a big coaster rider and Dana is too so while we were riding the coasters, Shelly and Danielle were riding the tamer rides. You know, when Dana and I were on the Phantom’s Revenge (the newest coaster there), I realized how much riding a roller coaster is like falling in love (for me). Well, you know how I’ve said that even though I want to fall in love, sometimes I get scared about it? And how I’ve said I need to have a man that is going to run after me? Well, I’m sitting in the coaster car next to Dana, and as it starts going up the hill, my heart is pounding, my adrenaline is pumping and I’m thinking, ‘Oh my gosh! What have I gotten myself into!? I want off this thing!’ And of course, unless I’m a total nut ball and jump out the coaster, I’m basically stuck there until the ride is over. Then when the coaster reaches the top of the hill and I don’t think I can stand it anymore, it goes down the hill and fear and apprehension is replaced my excitement and sheer exhilaration. I raise my hands and scream, not in terror, but in joy! I feel like I’m flying. I don’t even think about being afraid. Falling in love is going to be like that for me. The man is just going to take control and things are just going to happen so naturally I’m not even going to think about backing out or being afraid. Does that make sense to you? I guess right now in my life (since I’m not dating anyone) I’m at the stage where I’m waiting in line to get on the roller coaster. I’m anticipating it, I’m kinda scared but excited at the same time and yet I’m still at the point where I can back out if I want to. I want the time between going up the first hill, and going down the first hill to be as short as possible!
I like your theory as to why people come in at closing time. Yes, they are on crack! And as for those insensitive clods who came in five minutes before ***** closed, I think you shouldn’t have to serve them. I’d be like "Excuse you?! I do have a life, and it’s not my main goal in my life to serve you!" What a bunch of jerks. If I were you, I’d spit in their drinks! I am so awful, aren’t I? I could never be a waitress, because I’d be doing all these nasty things to people’s food if they gave me a hard time. Nobody messes with me and gets away with it!
Speaking of companies being in trouble- I think we are. Well, there are 50 ***** shops in PA, OH, and WV and I think the company is in trouble financially. I’ve mentioned this before, haven’t I? Well, I feel as you do. If the company closes it’s doors and I have to look for another job, then so be it. I never intended on spending the rest of my life at ***** anyway.
That’s a nice dream you had about N’ Sync! Oh! I asked Carie about the trivia question and she has no idea! Now she’s really intrigued as to what the answer is too. If and whenever you find out the answer to it, please tell me so I can tell her!
I had a bad dream about Chaz last night. I dreamed I was somewhere and he was there too and he totally fluffed me off! Now I think to myself, ‘Could that possibly happen in real life?’ and another question, ‘Do I even care?’ Yes, I do care. I mean say I really did see Chaz somewhere and he totally ignored me, I think I would feel bad. I truly don’t think that would really happen.
I like the picture you sent with your e-mail! How old are you in it?
Let me know how your snail-mail letalcoholavid turns out. Did you include a picture of yourself in a Victoria Secrets nightgown? (lol). Can you believe that some women would actually do that? I’m sure there are women who would send pictures of themselves wearing nothing at all! Tramps.
Did you hear about Mariah Carey having a mental breakdown? That’s such a shame! Such a beautiful, talented singer who has everything going for her- you have to wonder what went wrong. You know that I’ve come to the conclusion that celebrities have to be the loneliest people in the world. I mean, take Mariah Carey for example. She has millions of so called "fans" who write to her and say "I love you, Mariah" and who probably scream it at her concerts. And she must think: "How can you love me? You don’t even know me!" I’m sure many celebrities feel like a piece of meat in the industry. Its like you lose your soul and you try anything (sex, drugs, alchohol, marraige after marraige) to feel that void. I wouldn’t want to be a celebrity for all the money in the world. I’ve also come to the conclusion that money dosen’t buy happiness. If your’e not a happy person and at peace with yourself without money, a million or ten million dollars isn’t going to make you any happier.
*****************************************************************************
movie- Crocodile Dundee (loved The Brady Bunch movie)
tv show- The Brady Bunch (love pop-up video!)
cd- Shrek (I have Wham! Make it big. I had a huge crush on George Michael when I was thirteen. Hey, I didn’t know at the time he was gay! I didn’t even think I knew what that meant then, other than "happy!"
funny moment- From the Golden Girls. All the girls are sleeping in the same bed to keep warm (the heater is broken) and Rose is saying her prayers (out loud). All of a sudden this voice booms out: "Rose, thanks for the lovely prayer. Now shut up and get into bed!"
******************************************************************************
questions answered-
When was the last time I sent a fan letter?- In 1997 when I wrote to Connie Dover (she is a celtic singer). She wrote back personally and we even wrote back and forth to each other for awhile!
Do I constantly scream at concerts or do I mainly watch the show?- Well, the kind of concerts I usually go to now are not "screaming" concerts. I used to scream a lot when I was younger. In fact, when Danielle and I went to see Debbie Gibson in 1988, that concert was filmed for her video. I think you can hear us screaming in the background!
Do i remember my HS teacher’s manerisms or favorite sayings? My mind is a toatal blank on this, but if I think of anything, I’ll tell ya!
what subject would I teach?- Probably English. How about Arnold Vosloo 101? (giggle giggle)
hairstlying products I use- Pantene Hydrating curls shampoo, conditioner and scrunching gel.
favorite outfits- I love wearing sundresses. I have about four or five of them and danielle has several too. We’ll borrow each other’s clothes so its like we each have double the wardrobe.
*****************************************************************************
new questions
have you ever thrown up after you were on a ride at an amusement park?- no, thank goodness!
what color is your car?- don’t have one!
Are you more attracted to "business suits" or "blue jeans and tee shirts?" I used to really be attracted to men in business suits, but now the blue jeans have a great appeal to me. I don’t know why, but I also think tatoos are sexy. Not a lot of them, mind you, just maybe one or two on the arms. Muscualar arms. OOOHH, Sexy!
What’s the sillest word for "sex" that you can think of?- Shagging (Austin Powers).
Have you seen Jurassic Park 3 yet?- Yes!
When you go to the movies, do you get something to eat and drink?- No. Danielle usually gets something and I’ll just take a few bites here and a few sips there. I’m afraid if I drink too much, I’ll have to go to the bathroom!
Ever had your purse stolen?- no

well, that’s all for now. Have a great day! God bless!
