HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

SEND THIS TO A SMART WOMAN WHO NEEDS A LAUGH AND TO THE SMART GUYS YOU KNOW CAN HANDLE IT

I don't do chain letter like things, but this one is good, so I put it here.

I finely finished She's Not There.

I finely finished Jennifer Boylan's book, She's Not There, and I cried for Melanie. Melanie was the one who shared a room in the hospital with Jenny when they each got there SRS. Everything went wrong for her, and the reader did not get to find out what ultimately happend to her. As I finished the book, I forgot about Jenny and all I could think about was the horrible support she got in her live and how bad things were working out for her during the week she got her SRS.

I wrote in an email to a friend "We don't have to worry about "Golden girl Jenny" she will do just fine, but I worry about poor Melanie. "

Then I Googled for information on Melanie and Jennifer. I found a neat interview with Jenny where she said:

JB: But yeah, it’s worth saying as long as we are updating the record here that Melanie has landed on her feet. Her family has become much more accepting and she is engaged to be married in December and I am to be one of her bridesmaids. I think she is going to be fine.

RB: Are you looking forward to the wedding?

JB: Are you kidding? It’s going to be great.

RB: Do you like weddings?

JB: I have been a best man, now I’m going to be a bridesmaid. And I hope to write a piece about it for my next book. link

I was so glad to read that the Melanie story had a happy side. I still want to know more, but I feel a lot better.

The Push (far from here) by Steve Smith & Paul Jackson

I love this song. It just kills me though, I cry at this part!

Tell myself if I don’t change my ways
Never know the difference that it makes
If I don’t push myself to face my fears
I’ll never see a world that’s far from here

Don’t know where im going,
in a world that waits for me, yeah me…
Don’t know where im going,
to a world that waits for me…”

"In 2004 Jackson is set to release 'The Push (Far From Here)' vocal version, with Dirty Vegas' Steve Smith on vocals" link
