Oh, JerseyGirl I am so sorrry to hear about that...I knew you had lost someone recently, but that is just devastating. I'm sending you tons of cyber love and good thoughts...Things can ONLY get better, right?? xoxo
JG, I'm so sorry to hear about everything that's been happening in your life. You and your friends and family are in my thoughts, and you can come in here and vent any time you want.
I'm also wondering if there is any recourse your mom can take in that situation. It sounds so .... unethical at the least.
JG- I'm so sorry to hear about all your troubles right now!
Definitely know that you can always vent to us. I hope your mom will be able to find another job quickly. Maybe her original boss will be able to help her with references or something.
Stock- About the song: there are lots of theories about it's true meaning. Apparently the band has pretty big vampire following, because of the lyrics "like you'll stay as young and beautiful forever". The story I had always heard was similar to this, which I found on a message board:
"Ive always heard the song was about the Possum Kingdom murders that happened in Texas about 20 years ago or so. Basically a whole bunch of girls were murdered and found with their throats cut, completely drained of their blood. As the story goes, one girl managed to get away, but no one was ever caught. My friends mom had some newspaper clippings. But yeah anyways, pretty strange when you think about it."
The band says no, it's just based on stories that they've heard their whole lives about the lake.
Thank so much for all the support. I am trying to hope for the best. I talked to my mom more about it today. Every time The Ass has spoken to her about what he expected from her in the past three months, he has put it in writing and made her sign it. It sounds like he was putting a paper trail in place from day one. She's had five or so calls this morning from coworkers. She's probably have more except for the fact that they took her phone and no one knows the home number. She has a lot of support. The guys say they will go to court with her and testify. We'll see.
It does sound like that guy had it out for her from the beginning. Since she's the only woman I wonder if she might have some case for sexual discrimination?
Luscious now I want to look up the lyrics to that song and read them.
Discrimination is what it sounds like to me. She's going to speak to a lawyer.
Good! Keep us up to date on what is happening!
Stock- Here they are:
Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret
I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...
Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus
I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
(hey, hey, hey)
Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!
Be my angel
Be my angel
Do you wanna die?
I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus...
Oh and there's a whole section where they just say "Do you want to die?"
And believe it or not I LOVE this song!

It does seem like it's about vampires.
But the way Chris Daughtry was singing it just made me want to have sex with him.
But then again, I always want to have sex with him.
Wow, I missed a lot of drama.... I hope things get better for everyone! I think there is something effed up about this week because everyone I know is having a hard time it seems! Maybe it's daylight savings time....
I need you guys to give me your opinion... it turns out that the cute friend of a friend that I have been flirting with is quite a bit older then I was expecting.... is 13 years older too old? I wasn't expecting him to be that much older then me lol.

I don't think 13 years is that much. I mean let's say you're 21, and he's 34. I don't think that's too bad. Now I'm 43. I'm not sure I want to date a 56 year old guy. Unless he's really rich.
Stock, I'm 20 and he's 33... so guess it's not that bad.

How big is his... income? house? 401k? These are important factors in deciding the importance of the age gap.
^So true. Now, I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger...
Really, I think that age difference is fine. Actually that's the exact same range between my parents when they met...she was 20, he was 33. Not that you should marry this guy or anything, but I don't think thirteen years is bad at all! Besides, you'll probably be at the same maturity level, what with how generally stupid men are. I hope things work out!
JG2, first of all, I'm glad to see you in this thread, as you've always been one of my favorites here! Anyway, I'm so, so sorry about all the **** you've been going through. I can't really add anything that the others haven't already said, but I'm sending you many virtual hugs. And I seriously hope your mom has a case...it sounds like she does. Things will get better, they always do. <3
Hahaha.... I have no idea the size of anything :-P
So, I was having a good day... until I called my mother. I don;t think she's coming to the show I directed tonight.... she made it sound like it was pretty low on her priorities list
(I now get to take the bus in my party dress and possibly carrying a suitcase that they need for a Millie prop). On one hand I kinda don't want her there if she is going to act like she has been acting, but it stings none-the-less. So off I go... though I think I will leave the suitcase here.... I have been humiliated enough for the moment.

I'm sorry Kels.....
And I'm glad to see JG here too!
So here is a picture of my concert the other night. This is when the Sony Canada guy came out to give them their platinum award for Leave This Town (platinum levels are different in Canada...lower. I think 500K for twice platinum which is what they got)
The told them to turn their back to the audience so we'd be in the background. See if you can find me. haha...yeah right.
Stock, are you the blonde lady throwing her bra at the stage? ;D
JG, I have many many questions about Sweden, but I will spare you most of them and research them in my own time. However, I'd seriously like to know if everyone in Sweden gets up at 5/6am or if I'm just reading books about a load of pathologically early risers. Any idea? Does that sound typical, or demented?
Sorry, I'll get a life soon. Promise. :3
Kelsey, freakin' go for it! If you like him and he likes you and the age difference hasn't proven a problem so far and you're just thinking about dating and not marrying (for a while at least), then what harm can it do?
LOL, I'd have to have had a major league arm to get my bra onto the stage from where I was!
I'm with Weez. It can't hurt to see how a date goes. But then again, I tend to prefer older men anyway haha.
::remembering ridiculous Mitch Jarvis comment and LOLing::
:0)
Weez, I can't speak for everyone but my fiancee is a peppy morning person. I think that may be the norm. I honestly think it comes from winters of getting up and out when it's still dark. They don't need the sun to wake them.
What are you reading?
I've been reading the Wallander books by Henning Mankell. I think he's a little demented, but a really good read, they're awesome. :3 I've also just started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, but I might read something completely different before carrying on, lest I get really obsessive and dull and frightening on the subject of Swedish crime fiction. XD
My mom was supposed to bring me her copy of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo when she came up to visit but she forgot. I guess I have to wait until I go down for Christmas.
JG, I am so sorry for everything you are going through. And your mom! Oh my God, that's an awful story. Please keep us updated. I hope everything works out. I'm glad you came here to vent. I hope it helped!
I just got back from the library where I was SUPPOSED to pick up The Girl withthe Dragon Tattoo that I had on hold. But there was some mess up and it wasn't there
grrr! I got Amy and Isabelle instead.
