Born in Brooklyn and lived there until age 8, lived in Virginia ages 8-22
(attended college there etc.), then moved back to NYC where I've been ever
since. I guess I just feel more at home in New York than I did in VA
(although it rocks as a state, aside from its weirdo politics). Hence
"reformed Southerner" because I can't deny that I spent a lot of my formative
years there, but I never really felt like a Southern gal.

Um, what makes *Maryland* the South?? It's the Mid-Atlantic.
My mom's whole family is from "Christian Pass, Mississippi"
, population 300 (all of whom are, like, related to me) and
I've witnessed scarier Southern "cliches" than shotguns from varmints.

Yeah, but the varmint was Billy, so it's okay. Incidently, when one of our
lawyers asked for the weekly synopsis, my first response was to tell him that
Billy had refused Sam's offer of marriage, and that Sam's mom came after him
with a shotgun. He laughed, can you imagine that?

Actually, Maryland-- where I grew up-- *is* South of the
Mason-Dixon line. Anyhow, though it's most contemporary topographical
region is called "Mid-Atlantic", an honor it shares (depending on the
map company) with Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania... but if you
want to nit-pick and do the good, cold, hard North/South division
deal, Maryland *is* a Southern State. Too bad Virginia already did
it's E/W division though, because "Northern" Virginia is largely for
most practical purposes more "part of" Maryland and D.C. than it is of
the rest of it's own state-- it's kind of like it "longs to be"
separated and join the "Mid-Atlantic" section.

Isn't Samantha's fam supposed to be in Maryland though?? That's what I meant.
I know Virginia's in the Southland...
although I suppose Maryland might also be below the Mason-Dixon..??
My knowledge of American history/geography is simply laughable, forgive me.
~Jenna
Yes, you are right. Maryland is below the Mason-Dixon...which makes it
confusing because maybe that USED to be a good way to define the South
(although I agree Mid-Atlantic is more specific), but if one thinks of the
South in terms of the Civil War, Maryland was part of the North (the
Union)...West VA split off because they wanted to remain as part of the Union
as well...
I thought Sam's family was on the Chesapeake Bay for some reason, so this could
be Maryland or Virginia.
But you know what? Whatever. It doesn't really matter...

She's divine....I saw "Interview" the day it came out too! My favorite
thing about the movie was the costumes and the scenery....all in all a
fairly stellar adaptation. That's the only time I've ever found Mr. Pitt
modedrately attractive actually, musta been the incandescent eyes..
I love the witch series too, tho! I've read all those books and all the
Vampyre Chronicles, but nothing else. In the Lives of the Mayfair Witches,
I pictured Mona Mayfair to look like Sydney, she reminded me of her kindof.
Mischevious redheads...Mona was, like, the only reason I kept reading 'em.

Austin's a cool city, too, though. I almost wound up going to U.T. Austin,
but then I decided to go to Reed instead (in Portland, Or, which I've
come to hate) then they, without a warning, took away all my financial aid
so I wound up back in NYC, but I'm still trying to get out...

Everyone beats me at Trivial Pursuit cuz I get bored and frustrated and
just start shouting out random things which have nothing to do with the
questions and everyone gets annoyed...I'd have our entire team buck naked

If we were all breeders, I'd take you home to meet my mom. She would
get along famously with you both. That woman has more shoes than I have
sense.
I think the love of shoes is a genetic thing, as my maternal grandmother
loved them as well. When I was a kid, I went with her and my grandpappy
to a store that was having a big shoe sale. It was in a small town in
Tennessee, and we went at an ungodly hour one morning. Nana went to
stand in front of the door with the crowd of ladies who were waiting for
the store to open. Pop kept me in the parking lot at a safe distance.
As soon as the door to the store was opened, those ladies ran in there
as if they were in Pamplona and the bulls had been let loose. Pop and I
hooted, then went in the store to look at their selection of hardware.
This type of thing might be common in many places, but it's the first
and only time this kid has seen anything like that.

<<And I won't sleep with Newt Gingrich, for certains..>>
Yeah, but the better part of Newt's family...I got within 3 feet of Candace at

me to put at least 100 feet between myself and Ms. Gingrich at all times).
Stalking can be such an exhausting vocation.

Um..okay but with the pie thingys?? (which I like to call "carats" for no

the different colored carats can't win the damn game til he/she/it/they

Well that's why I put in the naked part... it shouldn't take too long for
one team to answer enough questions that the other team ends up naked.

Yeah, I can see where this is headed. Elizabeth and SMUgrad throwing the
game in order to see their teammates naked... I think we're going to have
to change the rules. If you answer a question correctly, someone from the
other team has to take something off. A team can either win the game by
filling up their little pie thingy or answering enough questions correctly
that the other team loses all their clothes. The losing team has to run
naked down Broadway between 80th and 81st.

Honey, if he's the type who would be interested in your phone number I can
tell you right now that it ain't gonna work out. I've had it up to here
with men who want it both ways. Too much competition. We need a bi on
Melrose, though. I was always hoping it would be Jake, but now, I'm
thinking Michael is the best candidate. Especially after that *touching*
good-bye scene with Matt. Pun intended, though not particularly good.

Um for some reason it never bothers me if a boyfriend wants to fool
around with another guy cuz I wouldn't have what he has and vice versa.
Cheating with another girl is like a direct slap in the face though!

Mmmm....I think it should be a girl though. Cuz I mean we already had a
guy with homosexual tendencies (ewww I sound like my psych professor) but
we never had a lesbian..so a bi girly would be a compromise, of sorts.
Not naming names or anything...but why not Jennifer?? She's new, we don't
know too much about her yet, and for some reason it just makes sense, dammit.

In some ancient civilization, well, maybe not ancient, but really old,
when two people got married the father of the bride (?) would have to
supply the groom with one month's worth of meade. Meade is made of honey,
this civilization (I can't remember which) considered a lunar cycle to be
a month. Hence, honeymoon.
Yeah, for a while I thought that having a female bi on MP would be a good
idea, but then I decided that I wouldn't be able to handle the thought of
all the weirdos and perverts tuning in just to see lesbian sex. I just
think that the type of man who obsesses over seeing women get it on
doesn't deserve to have his fantasies catered to without having to spend
the bucks to order up pay-per-view or buy a Chic. Because you know
that Spelling and Co. wouldn't do it in a high-minded, lesbian-pride
sort of way... it would just end up as soft core. Also, it bugs me
that the men I've known who've had these sorts of fantasies have also
been homophobes. Gays and lesbians aside, it seems like the type of
people who want to see this kind of don't deserve to.
Can you imagine the threads that would get started here? Alison, you

Hmmmm...that would probably improve ratings a ton, now that I think about
it...which makes me wonder why Spelling hasn't gone ahead and done it yet?
But I think it would be fine because I doubt there would actually be any
lesbian *sex* scenes, Fox would prob disapprove. I mean if it were
handled the same way Matt's relationships have been, there would be no
kissing and barely any touching! And now would be a great time, seeing as
everyone's all riled up over "Ellen" and whatever... anyhow,I doubt perverts
would much find implied lesbian relationships (like on "Relativity") half so
interesting as simulated lesian sex.... the whole thing would have to be
kept more classy a la Matt than trashy a la Michael's sexual exploits or D&D
sex on desks.
> Because you know

Hmmm..ya think? But it would be such a risk on account of there aren't any
lesbian sex/serious making out scenes in anything I've ever seen on
TV...I'm not sure it would.

There's a definite double standard when it comes to homosexual men and women.
How voyeuristic straight males find lesbians "kinky" and guys like Howard
Stern further the stereotype...while, yes, their opinions on homosexual guys
are often quite negative. Most straight women ( um and lesbians) are not
much obsessed with watching two guys ( or um more) having sex. And in my
experience, women in general tend to be somewhat less homophobic.

That's cool. I'm glad that there are men like that somewhere...
In all honesty, I think another problem I have with the whole lesbian sex
thing is jealousy. It's something that I couldn't do for "my man", if I
had one that is. So I don't think he should have easy access to it.
Just a little insecurity I'm working through with the help of Dr. Prozac.

I know where you're coming from. But one of my best guy friends,
Trevor, is straight, finds lesbian sex a big turn on, and is cool as can
be about gay guys. We get along fine, and he has never seemed to be
uncomfortable around me. In fact, he's even given thought to having a
homosexual experience. He once told me that if he ever does have a
homosexual experience that it's gonna be with me; his girlfriend,
Loretta, then said, "Me too."
I don't see it happening though. Loretta is also one of my best
friends, and I'd never hurt her. Also, I really don't think he has it
in him to find guys attractive in that way. I first got this notion one
night while he was channel surfing. He simply flew by several channels
that were showing some really cute guys. What's that all about?
Then something happened that proved it to me. He and Loretta were
making out once, when Trev suddenly stopped and proceeded to change the
channel on the TV. It seems that an infomercial featuring Jim Palmer
was running, and Trev couldn't get passionate because he kept seeing
images of Jim's old underwear ads in his mind's eye. Need I say more?
Case closed.

Things went pretty well. He's a cutie. And you have to love a
heterosexual man who on the first date freely admits (I swear, with out
any prompting from me) that he loves Melrose and has always wanted to
learn to ballroom dance. I was thrilled to tell him that I also love
Melrose and used to be a ballroom dance teacher. Wait, he's not really
straight, is he? Can I get a professional opinion, Dr. Kel-dare?

This makes me want to talk about Al, but I can't think of
anything thing to add under a veil of conducive conversation so I'll
just brazenly announce here that out 20th (month that is) anniversary
just floated by... he gets a little perplexed when he gets the
anniversary cards 5, 6 times a year, but, being a big fag, I'm still
compelled to measure out "time together" in months... really, I never
had one before that could be measured by "years". Anyhow, I thought it
was way eerie that our 20 month anniversary not only fell on a full
moon, but also shared the day the channel-2000 site reached 2000 hits.

Monopoly is the Antichrist...what an endless hellish game for little
girls with Attention Deficit disorder..and, just like in real life,
I'd end the game with, like, a negative amount of money.
Battleship was da bomb! I even had the little travel addition...good for
annoying parents in cars. Another game that went on for brief milleniums
was Scrabble, but it went shorter if you limited the words to certain topics,
like..uh..."sex", " just s and m activities","clinical disorders", "forms
of alcohol and narcotics" etc.

I really don't think we would work as a couple. I'm a dog man through
