Tonya, I wanted to thank you for supporting me. It means a lot to get support from someone I don't really know. It's been hard for me to get people to understand how I feel. To me, it's like there's no reason that just because I like a group composed of Elliott, Barry, Scott, and Sean that means I HAVE to go to a concert done by Scott, Kevin, George, Jeff, and John. It's a full conversion to a sound I already wouldn't have been drawn to if it had been the first thing I heard. I'm not sure why this is so hard for people to understand, but thank you so much for respecting an opinion that you don't share. I understand why people are planning on continuing to go and all I'd like is for people to understand why I'm not. So thanks! I'm looking forward to meeting you at the end of the month.

from madelin :

I agree with Linda. Everyone knows that Lou is an Elliott fan. And those of us her know her more know that really the only reason she was going to any shows at this point was to see Elliott. I too however am going to go with an open mind and open heart. I have tickets for down the line that I am still planning on intending. Will the sound of the group, most certainly. But I am not giving up and shutting them b/c of that. You never know until you give it (and the new guy) a try.

from ladust115 :

Tonya, you rock! I loved what you said about Louise and El in your diary. I so hope to see you again soon. Linda

from gembrat :

Ms. T - Your card was beautiful & made me cry. Thank you so much! Safe journey, my friend.

from ariawoman :

Congratulations. :-) But the Q is, will you be there in time to see RP there in Sept?? :-)

from elcandance :

Well, I'll be darned. *G* Good for you, Ms. T! Congratulations! Mo

from gembrat :

LOL We both spelled Texas in our diaries today!

from gembrat :

I have both the Buffy books you mentioned. Yes, like that's a huge surprise, right? Volume 3 is my fave so far of the tales. Season 7 I have yet to get too. Did I mention the philosophy book I have based on Buffy themes? LOL

from plaidskies :

Saw this and thought of you: LOYAL TO THE END: Fans of the WB's Angel renting a billboard truck to drive around Los Angeles protesting the show's cancellation, per the Hollywood Reporter.

from plaidskies :

Also, wasn't there a show (they'd have it instead of Bugaloos or Land of the Lost or Electra Woman) about a car that talked, too? Or am I hallucinating that?

from gembrat :

Gee, does our room have a vcr? I could bring the videotapes & we could be kids again (1970 - I was 12). I got the Puffenstuff song in Stef's head & the Bugaloos in yours. Smile time.

from ladust115 :

I don't even think that they ADVERTISED in our area. This is the first I've heard of it. I'll check it out on Friday. Linda

from plaidskies :

I also love Wonderfalls. I made Louise watch it with me last Friday and I'm very excited about the new ep this Friday. I've told people out here about it...

from ladust115 :

Go YOU! That's great. I'm so proud of you! Linda

from gembrat :

Put another jewel in that crown, Lady T! Wow - 3 a day at work and none the entire weekend... Keep it going! We love you.

from elcandance :

Ms. T...You GO, girl! Keep up the good work. I'm betting on you. Mo

from gembrat :

Yeah, Coats! I have to wait until August at Hershey Park (Bob driving 7 hours...). Maybe the Red Elvises will be nearby when I visit San Diego. Yeah, April!!

from ariawoman :

Yay nicotine withdrawl is a good thing :-) Keep it up. :-)

from gembrat :

Ooh, Tonya had two of my favorite drinks (the shot & Corona). Glad you had a good week & hopefully you got my cards. Now get some sleep.

from madelin :

I'm a very jealous person... You get to see Texas, Pella, Ang and Mo and Krik (I don't know the other really but I'm jealous you get to see them as well!)

from madelin :

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Welcome to my age!!!

from plaidskies :

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! Yay for Birthdays!!!! :)

from ladust115 :

Tonya, I'm soooooo sorry. I watch Angel, too, but am not quite as devoted as you are. I know how upset you must be. STUPID TV EXECUTIVES!!!!

from gembrat :

Nooooooo! Why do they insist on cancelling the shows I like best? Not fair!

from jelligyrl :

The bastards at the WB suck. Thank goodness for the DVD's. :)

from gembrat :

There was a case here last year where the woman tried to get the dogs evicted, but since the lease clearly stated it was a pet friendly complex, she lost. Oh, and had to pay the other people's lawyer fees for inconvenience & emotional trauma. Honestly, some people...

from jelligyrl :

Thanks for the note. It means a lot. I loved the last episode of Angel too, especially the ending. THe not one of them has ever dated you, rings so true. Let's face it Angel working at Wolfram and Hart is going to blow up in their faces. I'm just waiting for the big showdown. I know how you feel, thanks for the empathizing.

from gembrat :

See, that's why I didn't try to explain last night's episode... You always do it so much better, with proper references to previous episodes.

from ladust115 :

This is now my FAVORITE of all of your Diary entries!!

from plaidskies :

My best friend in WI LOVES Joyce Meyers! She tapes her stuff all the time. That's so cool that you know about her too. :)

from gembrat :

Considering what time it is & the pain I know you go through...13 is very good! Did you pets make even better heating pads? And it's a new Angel tonight with lots of Spike!

from madelin :

It was good to read that although you "blew it" for a day or 2 - you aren't giving up. That%8��}the hardest part is not letting a slip up stop you. Keep going girl!

from jelligyrl :

Good luck! As the guy in The Water Boy said, "You can do it!" :)

from gembrat :

You just keep going. You can definitely do it! Looks like you & I will both be watching the Superbowl, but for opposite sides. *G* Ooh, Hubby made his reservation for Fiddle Camp/San Diego August 2004.

from ladust115 :

Tonya, you rock. I know it's not easy - I quit almost 13 years ago. You can do this. Look at all of the amazing things you've already done!

from ariawoman :

I'm so proud that you did 2 days so far :-) Keep up the good work.

from ariawoman :

Go you. I am sure you will beat this thing. You'll be so happy when it's behind you and you can breathe easier...

from madelin :

I wish you the best of luck with quitting. I know its hard but if you want to do it, you can. I never was a huge smoker - I prob only smoked like 5-10 cig a day, but I stopped in Sept 1996 and haven't had even a drag once...Good luck!

from elcandance :

It's going to be hard. Anything that's worth fighting for is going to be hard. But you are a tough gal. Much tougher than that little cigarette in your hand. Good luck. And remember, if you slip, there's always tomorrow. Mo

from lilclownie :

I'll give you my willpower for an added boost.

from gembrat :

Mo's on your left shoulder & I'm on the right letting you know we believe in you. It's a great goal & I want you to succeed.

from groban83 :

Hi just surfing on ;)

from lilclownie :

Happy Tonya? Lucky Tonya!

from gembrat :

Ooh! You have to go & double enjoy it for me, please. Seeing James...yum.

from ariawoman :

Ooo congrats on the new car. It's always fun to have a new toy. I've been thinking a lot lately about what my next car will be, since I'm putting a lot more mileage on my current one with the new job. Not that I'm even close to needing one yet, but ya gotta plan, right lol.

from gembrat :

LOL The second I read you named the new doggie Randy, I thought of that episode! Your pics are so good. The wee ones are just too sweet. The area ones - postcard perfect. I love the Rock River ones. Have a wonderful holiday!

from jelligyrl :

Welcome back! Can't wait to see the pictures! :) Angel Tonight. Yay! :)

from ariawoman :

Thanks for the congrats. :-) I'm very happy. No more worrying about income coming in, now I've just gotta worry about doing a good job. Either way, Pella habit and my cat are now once again going to be well supported lol. And to top it all off, my bedroom is now going to be a pretty new color, to start my new life at a new company. (Sorry..been sniffing paint fumes for 4 days straight hehe)

from elcandance :

Miss T! I love you too! You rock! Have fun on the date! Mo

from ladust115 :

Tonya, the FAQ's were too funny! Next time I check your diary, I will try to remember NOT to be eating while reading it. The sensation of broccolli trying to come out your nose is somewhat less than peasant to say the least! Linda

from gembrat :

And could Lindsay get any freakin' better looking?! The bod, the tatts, that hair, those arms...

from gembrat :

Ooh! Ooh! I had to read the spoilers you put up & I loved them. And now I'm wondering about pretty much the same things you are. LOL Maybe it's Andrew losing a body part & then he can be more like his idol, Xander.

from ariawoman :

Yes, I would definitely have to kick you if you had Jen kick a kitten lol. Jewelie would go psycho on your ass too. You don't wanna piss off Jewelie, she might be cute, but she's fiesty! :-P

from gembrat :

"Souless Spike would've had me upside down & halfway to Happy Land by now!" Now isn't that a picture?! *G*

from gembrat :

Congrats to you on being an Aunty again! Noah is such a great boy's name. Glad your sis is doing well. How's the new big sister doing? If it's Wednesday it must mean Angel for us... Olaf -LOL

from jelligyrl :

Hey! How's it going with the fires?? Go buy some masks, stay inside drink water and keep the car packed. I'm thinkin of you! Take Care Ang

from lilclownie :

I no longer get WB as a broadcast channel in my area, so I do rely on these a bit to know what's up, AND what you thought of the episodes! Thanks much for it!--j

from jelligyrl :

I loved last night too. I'm going to write aobut it tonight. The ritual sacrifice phone scene was the funniest thing I'd heard in a long time. THank goodness for James Marsters. YUMMY!!!

from plaidskies :

hahahaha, I read E Online and Kristin/Wanda has all manner of Buffy and Angel scoops all the time. I've never seen her on TV though.

from madelin :

I was gonna say the same thing basically. I went to aol.com and just signed up for the instant messaging. You don't need to have aol to AIM.

from ariawoman :

Tonya - Sometimes if you can't use the one that's downloadable, you can use AIM Express. Just go here and try it at work... http://www.aim.com/get_aim/express/aim_expr.adp?aolp= That should work, else just search for AIM Express in the search box on aol.com

from madelin :

I'm on AIM all day at work as well and sign me up to go to England!!! Hopefully Sept 2004! Madelin ")

from pookapella :

the wisps(sp?) r the best thing that ever happened to chocolate. had some last time i was over in England.

from ariawoman :

Can't you get on IM at work? I'm bored all day long. At least then you could chat hehe.

from ariawoman :

Just FYI since you put (sp?) in your diary...it's architecture. :-) Jennifer :-)

from madelin :

First, my friend Marilyn would DIE if she saw your DLand Template. She is planning on marrying Seth Green, once they meet and he realizes he is in love with her! LOL. And B - that letter was hystercial. I watch Buffy once and a while on a Saturday afternoon rerun, but nevertheless, the letter was still funny! hehe. Thanks, I needed that today.

from lilclownie :

I haven't been diarylanding much lately, and though I do check my buddy list when I am here, it was only today that I noticed your Buffy/Spike motif. Thank you for said motif. A lot.

from ariawoman :

Are we on the same wavelength? You and I posted at the exact same time, and both our entries are depressing. :( I saw that the hurricane is a Cat 5 and thought of you. Also thought of my parents as they will be in Hilton Head soon...sigh.

from jelligyrl :

weather channel rocks!!!! :) I miss buffy. *sigh* ANy hopes of transferring to Texas?? What's the pellafest?? Take Care :)

from ariawoman :

Tonya, I do say fuck a lot. LOL. Maybe we are related...better start tracing the lineage...

from spaltor :

<i>astronomers</i> study meteors, silly! ;)

from ariawoman :

You're not the only weather geek among us. I wanted to be a meteorologist for as long as I can remember. I used to watch the weather channel for hours, when it was all weather, all the time, now it has along of shows and whatnot...Jeanetta Jones, eat your heart out lol.

from ariawoman :

If you are going to the Birchmere on the 11th...you should drive up to NJ for the show that weekend hehehehehehehe.

from plaidskies :

Tonya!!! THANK YOU for loving MP&HG as much as me! I got that duck reference immediately and was waiting for others to catch on...and then you even put that part of the movie up. Hysterical! Hey, thanks for brightening my afternoon...

from madelin :

I loooooooooove Sweet Potatoe Pie. Now I want some. Dman!

from elcandance :

Aw...You made my day. It's nice to know that personality traits that can be considered "abrasive" so some are what makes others (read: YOU) love me! *G* Someday, dear. Someday the 'Pella Road Trip will need a chartered bus! Hmmm....

from ariawoman :

Wooo you wanna hang with me :-) I feel very honored, though, I know I'm a big bitch, and therefore you'd have to like me hehehe. :-)

from plaidskies :

Awww T--we SHOULD get together sometime...I would love that. I am such in a bitcy mood about guys right now and thank you for understanding my rant. It's frustrating sometimes. Have you been reading the books I suggested?

from elcandance :

I've just discovered this "leaving a message thingy" so forgive me for only leaving one a LONG time ago. Yep, gotta luv Sonny from GH. Bad guy who don't mind killin' and WILL kill to protect his own. *sigh* Ah to have a man like that. *G*

from ariawoman :

Howcome I can't read your notes unless I leave a note :-) I just left one before, so read that one again for a meaningful message. This one is to read your notes hehehe :-)

from ariawoman :

I'm so sorry that one of Fredericks cousins has come to you. HOWEVER, I have been through the entire ordeal, and I know a lot about all procedures available to you...get in contact with me. I also belong to a very awesome group of gals on a yahoo group...each one with a story to tell...this fibroid won't be the end, and if it is very small, you are more than likely a candidate for hysteroscopic resection or vaginal myomectomy. Or, if you never ever want kids (since the studies aren't out yet on it) you can look into UAE. It is the least bad of all, with most people up and around the next day...anyway, contact me. You KNOW I know what you are going though, as I sit here recovering from having a huge one removed...

from plaidskies :

Hey T, Still debating for me on whether STL is a good option for me in Feb. Moe and Krik and Linda all want me there. Trying to see if I can do it...but last year's was so...well...you know.

from echoofnecco :

Hi! I feel your pain about the Rockapella stuff. I, sadly, found myself falling into that clique trap myself and began to hate what I became because of it. I finally realized how absurd it was and decided it was time to leave it all behind! If I ever go to a show again, it will be to watch them perform. It's more fun that way. :)

from plaidskies :

Tonya--can I just say Amen, my sister? You know it isn't easy being an East Coaster sometimes either. :)

from ladust115 :

Tonya, You can rant and rave all you want and it doesn't do a darned bit of good. I'm sorry Jade mentioned my name in her message, I hadn't even read it. I think I know who she is talking about and if you want to see drama, spend ten minutes with her! I've tried before to tell the people in that particular group that nothing is owed to them beyond a good concert. If they want to buy a cd, all they have a right to expect from it is an enjoyable listening experience - autographs are a gift, not a requirement. You may be right about the meet and greets, there has been much trouble this year and I fear that it may spell the end of the custom. I think you are wrong about St. Louis. Except for the "drama" provided by the aforementioned person, it was a wonderful time. It really was more about many of us getting together than the actual meet and greets. Please reconsider your decision about that. I'd really love to meet you in person. Linda

from ariawoman :

You tell it like it is. I have no idea what the rant is about, but I agree lol. Things need to be put into perspective, for many. Keep on keeping it real, and you'll always be fine :-)

from plaidskies :

Tonya, my email address is: [email protected]

from plaidskies :

Tonya, Loved the paint/airline story. Hysterical!

from ariawoman :

I hope you don't have one of Fredericks cousins! If you do though, you know who you can commiserate with... :-)

from plaidskies :

OOOH Tonya, I have the book Kiss My Tiara. I have a bunch of other fun books I can recommend along that same vein. I swear sometimes we should all start a book club! Stef

from madelin :

Hey, thanks for the ideas for visiting CA - I def want to include the Santa Monica Pier. I looked at going to the Griffith Park Observatory, but it's closed for renovation till 2005. I found 2 other cool places to go and check the Hollywood sign out from! I'm gonna be such a tourist - poor Angela is gonna be stuck being a tourist with me!! Madelin ")

from echoofnecco :

Hi! I loved your Front Desk Clerk entry. I worked in retail for 15 years of my life and I can totally relate. Also, I love the pic of Spike you have there. My Beloved just got me into Buffy before it was cancelled. Just enough time to fall in love with Spike.

from jelligyrl :

You'll survive this. Try taking a walk at lunch, outside. It should increase those happy endorphins, which it sounds like you need. It's supposed to be sunny and hot this weekend. Soak it up!!! Lots of love!! :)

from jelligyrl :

hey sweetie! DOn't fret about the weather. If you need someone to vent to call me. :) GOt the same probs as you. :) Take care and lots of hugs. ANgela

from elcandance :

T! Bless your heart. I understand SAD. I THINK I have a touch sometimes. Not to YOUR level of course, but I can imagine how you must feel. I'm pulling for ya, girl! And just so you know...You ROCK! and I luv ya! Moe
