Subject: What big teeth they had!
Hi Michele!
Those were some big dinos! That’s the first Jurassic Park that I’ve seen in the theatre - what an experience. I was wishing again that I had gone to see the Mummy Returns in a theatre. In JP III there was only one other couple and me - I was glad. I got there a little late and was afraid that I would be stuck on the first row. So is Sam Neil the one that played Dr. Grant? I did think he looked a little old, but that’s okay. I like his JP character - I really, really like a smart guy! (And a tall guy . . . and a manly-lookin’, loin-cloth wearin’, arm-band sportin’ fine specimen of a hunky guy!)
Yesterday I also had time before the gig to do my homework that isn’t due until Wednesday. That is excellent because I’m working both days this weekend. I also went to scan that picture of Darrell. It was taken during my much longer, semi-permed hair state.
So you went to see The Others? I believe there was a trailer for that one before JP III started playing. I thought that was Nicole Kidman; I didn’t catch the name of the movie. I confess, it’s because I was looking away from the spookiness. Did you say it was more suspenseful than slasherly? I think I would like that - I really want to see What Lies Beneath, but I haven’t got off my butt and done it yet.
And you are so right about Tom Cruise! That’s the same situation you mentioned before with people who have a really great spouse and don’t even realize it or don’t care. It is positively maddening: we can’t find even one good person and they just throw a great one away. I don’t know about you but I feel good to know of a couple, especially a couple like them who has been together a while and is sticking together. I feel a bit bad when I read about all of the divorces in Hollywood. How lightly they take marriage! Maybe I shouldn’t say that about all of them, but when someone is on their fourth marriage I wonder, "Why even bother with marriage?"
Well, I got my first response from that crossdaily site - some guy from Australia who is looking for a "marriage partner" wrote one short sentence that he would like to know me more. Men of few words are said to be the best men, but not when you only have a letter to try to get to know them! I’d like to know more about him. I’ll write back to him in a few days and send him a little info. I wonder if he has that fabulous Australian accent . . . As I said, I’m really doubtful that I will meet anyone good that way but it’ll be a very interesting experiment. Worst case scenario maybe I can write an article or a paper based on the ordeal.
Oh, I can definitely relate to the "will I ever find someone?" frustrations. I try not to focus on it, but it’s really tough when people with great relationships are all around me. Sometimes I am almost overwhelmed by wanting someone. Other - happier - times I am content to wait knowing how good it is going to be.
Re: the situation with Danielle and her just "hanging out" with Brian instead of going out with all of you. I’ve been where she is, and - speaking for myself - I wish I hadn’t focused so much on spending one time with one guy. It got to the point where I was very upset when he decided he didn’t want to hang out with me as much as we used to. I think maybe he’d have wanted me more if I wasn’t so available. But no one could have told me that at the time; I wouldn’t have listened. Hanging out with him was all I wanted to do; everyone else was like "been there, done that." Anyway, how long has she known this guy? What does he do?

Funny moment - from Charles in Charge, Buddy (his friend) was trying to talk Charles into going to see some sorority girls play "waterball" and Charles was saying that he couldn’t go. Buddy- "But it’s Gamma-Gamma-Gamma!" Charles- "I can’t! I can’t! I can’t!"
