These are quotes that were previously on the front page. They were taken between the time of 8/23/00 and 9/16/00... a short period of time, but it was obviously a very quote-worthy period of time! :) Hope you enjoy these...
Keri: *laughs* Yeah yeah yeah... you just bring out the better side of me
Julie: lol oh I know :-) You're so bright eyed and bushy tailed when you talk to me. So nice and cheery too *eg*
Keri: Excuse me?? Bushy tailed?? Well!!
Julie: lol! Bubbly?
Keri: Now you're prolly meaning *literally* as in I have foam coming from my mouth like a dog with rabies. :-p
Julie: lol of course :-) Have you gotten your rabies shot recently? I mean you're a loose one ;-) who knows where you've been?? :-)
Julie: rotflol! rotflol!
Julie: lol i couldn't say that with a straight face
---Julie and I in an AIM convo
What the fook?
---W i l l
It is such an amazing book!! I had to stop reading after two chapters though 'cause I was crying and I could no longer see the words on the pages. Hehe. But so I pulled out that little tape you included...Wow!! They're amazing!! I LOVE those songs!! I had to get up and dance. I was dancing in front of the window too. LOL...the neighbors were prolly thinking, "Oh my...what has happened to her?!" LOL. Anyhow, I was dancing and singing along (even though I don't know the words. LOL. I pretended like I did. :)). I'm exhausted now. *laughs* I'm all sweaty. Ugh! But I feel good...I really do. :)
---Jen about the bday present I gave her
re: "Bartlett's Famous Quotations", MY style... Don't. Tempt. Me.
---Karen to W i l l
She's got pictures of her man.
That's right, folks, Her Man. MAN. As in, full grown adult hunka-hunka burning love Man.
She'll be drooling endlessly about her Man. And we'll hear all about the Man she didn't see, but has piccy's of. And then she'll post her piccy's and we can see the glory that is Keri's Man.
I hope he has an idea of the sheer "ownership" our girl Keri has claimed on him. 'Cause if he argues any when she says "sit, stay", well... I'll beat him bad.
---Anya
boy is he a cutie or what?!?!?! and he looks really good in a tux. now his mom with that hat and lime green dress...for a wedding...no comment :)
---Dustie about my man
This short email is brought to you by the letter T (for tired) and the number 7 (days before I go and drool over Darren Hayes).
---Karen
i have many skills.
---Evvie ... one of her trademark quotes thanks to Xena... aye aye aye... lol
I remember when we offered to help poor Joss out of his confining ropes with our trusty chainsaw. I'm sure it would have worked if Little Willow hadn't stopped us! We attacked quite a few in our terror heyday. I'm glad to know that you're keeping the tradition alive! Long live the Resident Terrorist! All bow down before her supreme evilness!
---Jacinda to me... LOL! Woo hoo! Memories!
Evvie: words.. another of my many skills.
Julie: It's just like I can picture a scene 20 years from now or something (hehe maybe 10) :-) where you would just flash through my mind and we'd call each other or something. It's just weird :-) I have always been unclear about the future, but it's just clear with you.
Britney Spears???? Sigh. Because it's you, I'll save the groan.
as for websites.... ker-- you would never believe how much i've gotten into that stuff- i'm a total nerd. a TOTAL nerd. :) It's just non-stop learning... too bad i never get to go on these days.
She wrote six pages? Oh My! Let me guess, a testiment to the glory that is Nathan? (I do hope I recalled Keri's Man's name properly...)
The Sequoias - they didn't all burn down, Keri. LOL. But it took forever in a day before you actually get to them. You enter the park, but you still have to drive forever before you can see the freakin' trees. On our way, a bee entered our car. I thought I was gonna die!! I covered my ears (lol...Keri's influence), put my head down and screamed. *laughs* And my mom was trying to drive. Finally she was able to pull over and I opened that door and jumped soo fast outta that car! People were prolly driving by thinking, "My goodness...what is her problem?? Ugh. Tourists." LOL.
Keri: I have turned into Dear Abby... please knock me unconscious now.
And Keri's a true Christian. She's not a person who hangs on to the Christian name so she can force her opinions on everyone and say it's what God wants or something. She's just ..what I would call ... she's what other true Christians should strive to be. A wonderful person. I can't not believe in something because that something gave me Keri.
Kelly: i'm not too worried about it...if it's meant to work out, it will
and of course i look like i am obsessed with the dog...people
probably think this relationship i have with my dog is unhealthy....i know i would if i did not know me and was reading all the quotes.
See, I have this theory about this in general.. lol.. I think the
people who yearn for unconditional love the most- when they get it, they become scared and shove the person away.. even though what they most want to do is grab onto it for dear life. That is my theory from watching people like that. (Myself included.)
woman, you are always up
Evvie: entirely... i never fail to inflict bodily harm on those i hold near and dear to me! i'm the one they can *always* count on... i'm loving that way.
Julie: Alright ...I'm going to bed ...and I'm not going to wake up before 12pm! :-)
Just so you all know, I'm not bragging or anything. Most guys don't approach me, so I get more excited when the guys I like do!
You have too many men in your life. I'm trying to decide if I should envy you or pity you. Hehe.
Anya: No kidding. So, start praying. Give me one bonifide miracle so that I won't be forced to kill her.
That's such a good point. But like..with this sort of love, or
with any love or friendship, there's going to be disagreements, fighting, people getting hurt ...but when the fighting stops, the hurt stops and that dark haze passes ..what's left? It's that love again saying hi, I'm here. I've never gone away ...you just didn't see me. It's always there. That kind of thing doesn't
just disappear.
We're flying around happily, and we don't expect anything to go wrong. And the one thing you can guarantee in this life is that, at some time or another, things are going to go wrong. And the problems are going to come from the direction you least expect.
Amber, immediately when I met her, I completely forbade anyone to mess with her. Which is funny, because people tell me they are the same way with me - protect the snowglobe, don't break it, shake it gently to help it learn but do NOT break the snowglobe - and everyone is very VERY careful with me.
What? No witty comeback? No sauve response? Keri? Oh Keri? Where... ah. There you are.
As long as some people see black and white they're not going to allow for an option of gray.
When I was referring to addressbook, I meant the one in my planner... paper, not electronic. :-) You know you've been living in the online world too much if.. :-) Actually, I'm one to talk, I keep saying I want to "delete" something instead of "remove" with regards to material things.
We can't always control our circumstances- but with God's help, we can control our responses.
I mean that I know acquaintances and I know friends. Luckily, I have acquired friends over the past few years that can discern this difference and have it in their own life: work friends, home friends, classmate (old or current) friends, family friends, customer friends, online friends. All these different places
source knowing people and all these people have different rankings on the friend scale. That's something I've always totally loved about you - you GET this, you KNOW this, because you DO this. You have school friends, church friends, net friends, and some are more than one category and some aren't. And I hear (or read...emails or posts *G*) you talk about all different kinds of them and all different events all the jossin' time. You are so special, Keri; you value people's time, energies, souls, work, love, dreams, life, and personalities, and you are so special!
Do not doubt the master boot-ay kicker that is Keri. I am boot-ay sensai.
wow i love your thots... i mean the fact that you're putting so much thot into this and letting God be in control
When something goes wrong in my life, I only have one person to blame... and that's me.
I have had a few people in life that I just know I can't let this person ever ever drift out of my life because it's such a mutual rockingness and I know that we have so much to talk about and learn from each other but that we can evolve too. It won't be limited or immature because I can't have that. =)
Hell, Ker, I'll pitch in money for your new comp- you have been seriously, seriously deprived. What the hell is this world coming to, anyway? A girl can't even have access to a reasonable machine that'll spare 'er a megabyte or two? *dramatic sigh*
Anya: Nuh huh. Where comics are concerned -- sheltered. Every kid looks at at least one X-men, they may not pick up the habit, but they are tempted to look at it at least once. Unless removed from that temptation.
Yeah, you keep trying to attract like some sort of MAGNET but I resist! heh!
When whats-her-face shows up (miss nostrils girl) in my classroom, I'll personally kill you :b
well i am focusing on film, but i get all these acting classes...(sheesh) I'm not a great actor.. i am a great bullsh*tter! (ooh waittaminnut that sounds kinda tough on the colon.)
Allie: I definitely wish some of those "disappear" people would check in every once in a while. I get all worried. You get all, "Hmmmm...." It's not good! Stress bad! Aahh!
Passion is the fire that burns within. It often starts as a spark or a flame and eventually turns into a blazing fire that stirs the soul. Passion is that incredibly compelling emotion that enables us to go places others are afraid to go, to try things others are afraid to do and to be the kind of people others are afraid to be! Passion creates energy and drive required to do what others think is impossible.
The reason why we go through spiritual depression is because we listen to ourselves too much... and don't talk to ourselves enough.
I don't know if I can handle you, KAM and Paris_Angel all being inside of my brain simul--owww!!--taneous--aspirin! aspirin!--ly...
Respect for other people is trying to understand where they're at and where they're coming from. There are people who will get right up your nose... Try and remember where they're coming from. Always remember that if somebody ever treats you badly, it says more about how unhappy they are... than about you.
Drew, however, has a healthy fear of me... and I'd hate for him to suspect I actually have a beating heart. It would so lower his opinion of me.
RIGHT ON! Vacuuming is the ultimate fun chore- well, along with dishes, but I've broken mugs before because of it! (You kinda get carried away and start tossin' the dishes in the air, no joke-- I broke a plate. Smooooth.)
I can tell when you need responses, and when you need just a listening ear, esp on the phone or on IM. That's why sometimes I'll just put "nod" or "listening" for a while, to let you completely get out the story or talk yourself through something without me jumping in cause I don't want to change your perspective or opinion until you're done for a second. It's like a poem or just free writing - you gotta keep going, get it all out, get it all written down, before you can read it again and realize stuff.
Just remember....if the world didn't suck we would all fall off
You should put in your sig with ill grammar, horridly wrong slang and a country twang: If Ya Think Friendship Is All Take and No Give, Don't Come CRAWLIN' to KERI Cause She Ain't Gonna Take It No More!
Is that an A l e x post I see before my very eyes.... someone catch me before I fall....
Anya's always waiting. *sigh* The burdens of my life. It's probably a great reason for why I refuse to have children... can you imagine how LONG my labor would be? It'd be hell!
Don't cry and don't thank me!! It was TRUE! It needed to be said!! :) And you've always totally had those 'different places' types of friends and that is going to continue throughout your life...you'll probably always have somewhere and someone to talk to about different areas of your life because of that and that's awesome. You'll have different sanctuaries in people and places for different times.
big pimpin' in nyc..
I don't think the absence of fear is courage. I think it's
peace...
We should make up a Cheer for the Wholesome.
We're pure
You like avoiding the topic, huh? Shall we discuss?
Keri: LOL! Alright then, I'll get a life sized blow-up Allie and make her go with me to the pool- then everyone will still think it's you. (LOL... ignore that. That was desperately corny.)
Passionate people ignite enthusiasm in the rest of us. Something so alive in them awakens something that *needs* to be alive in us. Passionate people inspire hope and enthusiasm. That's why they're so attractive to be around. There's an intensity, a commitment, a PASSION with which they approach their work -- it's inviting and tantalizing, it's heroic and alluring, it's inspiring and provocative all wrapped up in the same package.
Exactly!!! Not enough people understand. You can't toss around words like friend, love, blessing, like crazy. Some things are special darn it and if you say stuff too much it loses the meaning or the high ranking, y'know?
Must you set such a bad example for the children? Oh. Wait. Yes, you must. I forgot the number 1 rule of adults -- be MORE of a kid than a kid and play with their minds!
Kris: I'm always asking my mom to sing me a GOOD song so I can get the damned awful ones out of my head. (I was one time cursed with Eiffel 65's "Blue" and Destiny Child's "Say My Name." Nooooo!!!!)
It's all about the green thumb! Well, only when it matches my outfit. I'm a perfectionist. :)
See that's why I totally think you rock re other friendships. You've never been disinterested in any stories I had to share and vice versa, right back at you. We have the same view. Jess is a great example cause we both adore her for WHOLESOME! WHOLESOME! -person- as well as talent! talent! -profession- and both of us sing, and you get in contact with her and i think, Oh that's FAB,
because of her sweetness'n'light'n'singing not because she's a TRL mainstay and the in thing. :)
I give gag gifts, usually. I got a Britney Spears journal for one of my friends who despises her- DESPISES her- along with some bubblegum that dyes your mouth blue. (That almost backfired, because she offered me a piece, too- because she was already suspicious, because she *knew* the fun didn't stop with the BS journal, I had to take a piece. Luckily, she got distracted...
Mwa ha ha.)
Keri: Look at it this way! I'm like the angel that sits on your shoulder going "Don't do it! Don't do it!"
I saw the subject and knew it was some perverted keri person
The good news is that God loves you and forgives you- whatever you've done... There's some bad news too... Bad news is that Jesus taught us to pray, "Father, forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." So that means... if I carry any bitterness in my heart against any other brother or sister, I'm blocking the grace of God to me. That's it in a nutshell. It's the bottom line, isn't it? Doesn't matter what they've done; doesn't matter what they said about me; doesn't matter what rumors they spread; doesn't matter how unkind they were... I've got to forgive them... Doesn't matter whether they shouted at me, spat at me, swore at me, lied about me, treated my wife with disrespect- doesn't matter. I've got to forgive them. Doesn't matter whether they've said some bad things about me; doesn't matter whether they've blackened my character and badmouthed me... doesn't matter. I've got to forgive them.
Keri: oh lordy... you and your skills. One day I will find one thing that you do not have accomplished. ;)
Evvie:
---Evvie and I in an AIM convo
Keri: Wouldn't that be funny if that happened? I'd laugh. :) ... And Julie- I think that has got to be the sweetest thing you have ever said to me.
Julie: Hehe :-) Well you're welcome. I think you caught me at a good time *grin* The stress thing has been happening with me lately, and of course, after that comes the emotional ;-) So you caught me when I'm all "I love you!" but don't worry, hopefully next week it'll be like all "Keri has red hair!" ...or something :-) Okay ....I'm crazy. We know this! lol
---Julie and I in an AIM convo ... [Her and her obsession with me having red hair! I still say I don't have red hair in that pic, Julie. :-p]

Evvie: i'm good that way. i say do! as soon as possible! that's a terrible road you don't want to traverse.. wait, she's rich, she's famous, she's got her own column... what's so bad?

---Kelly to me at 1:00 am... lol
Keri: I see- you show you're "affectionate" in a whole different light! *g*
Evvie: that's me... never one to be typical or ordinary.
Keri: Never... something would be wrong with the world if you were one day.. normal.
Evvie: so true... and the odds of that are... worse than the odds of Xena becoming historically accurate. :o)
---Evvie and I in an AIM convo
Keri: Anyhow, now I'm making myself tired... lol... I'm
reminding myself that I was dead tired at 4 pm let alone now.. so we're both heading off to bed ;)
Keri: Me neither. I'm so sleeping in. :)
Julie: lol I'm so there with you
Julie: Uh ...not physically there with you.
Keri: LOL! I was just going to say that!
Julie: Man ...bedtime! lol
Keri: Yes, we really need to get you to bed now if you're thinking of hopping in bed with me. LOL
Julie: lol okay ....it's bedtime ..I've just tried to get into Keri's bed....lol time for me to go

---Karen to Sagie/Stephanie
Keri: *laughs* We don't need to add another to the "to be done away with" list.
Anya: Oh, lordy, no! It's going to take me YEARS if not CENTURIES to clear that list, and people KEEP on pissing me off forcing me to expand the list exponetially.

Keri: Umm... nope. Not me. I'm the oddball, hon. ;) The only comics I ever picked up were the New Kids on the Block comics. And the only ones I was ever tempted to pick up. I was a pathetic kid- I know this. *grin*
Anya: Ugh! NKOB? EEEK! And I TALK to you?
Keri: LOL!! I think I might still have one or two stored away too... LOL
Anya: *shudder*
Keri: *laughs* I was a big New Kids fan, what can I say? I think it paved the way for the later fandom of 'N SYNC personally. I'm guessing I'll always be a "teenybopper" at heart. Heh.. heh.... Heh.
Anya: *brrr* I'm utterly... traumatized.
