     Yeah, well...  Like most bad ideas, leaving the net.names in seemed like
a good idea at the time.  I sort of thought Steve & Julie would be flattered
that I thought of them and it never occured to me what confusion would result.
Again, I apologize.

     There should be an Originator: line in the header.  It comes through when-
ever I look at my posts.  Perhaps viewing the articles with a verbose header
would help.  (although I prefer to take my mail at the account in my .sig,
a silly preference).  BTW, can you all really not tell where I am posting from?
Because my software lets me edit the From: line, so if I'm untraceable I could
really have some fun now.  I remain,

Everyone in ARCland is quietly recovering from their holiday festivities
when all of a sudden there is a quiet tinkling of bells... they don't quite
sound like sleighbells, but since everyone has been hyped to the sounds of
JingleBells the first thought is to look around for santa... but wait... it
is the 26th, in most cases father Christmas has been and gone... "Who could
it be?"

Heheheh... Merry Christmas, or whatever you celebrate, everyone... 

that out of the way... *grin* subtle aint i... now for the REAL reason for
my visit... It is now that you notice that the Gypsy is so excited that she
can't sit still... (ok, so maybe it has a lot to do with the GEORGEOUS man
standing behing me, making me think of all the things i would rather do
than type...) "What is going on?" you ask... well... i don't know where to
begin, and long drawn out explanations will have to wait until i don't have
other... ummmm... pressing business... *smile*

I wish i could find just the right way to say this... i want something
clever or romantic... or something as cute as everyone seems to think that
we are... but then that would probably make all of us sick... so i will say
quite simply that i wish i could see myself through Ken's eyes so that i
could believe that he hasn't made some sort of mistake... the really good
news is that Ken and i will have the rest of our lives to come to terms
with that diffrence in perspective... Ken and i have decided to get
married, and we celebrated Christmas by telling our respective families... 

well... my FIANCE, is here... and i would like to spend some time with
him... (i love the way that sounds... fiance... =)

I am sure that everyone would like details... tough. you will have to wait
til i am ready to share them... :) that's ok tho... most of you know that i
hate keeping the really wonderful stuff to myself... i just have more
important things to think about right now... 

*blissful hugs* to all

Andi, the Gypsy...

Hey - Rip was causing drool to come from

Which reminds me - I was watching some bit
of TV (no, television, not a small transvestite!)
yesterday morning, and there was some parade
that had the Alladin character - and between
the build and the moves, my first thought was
that could have been Rip in that costume!

(I supposed I should mention that the character
was the blue genii??  No more Papa Smurf - call

sitting around home isn't something to be ashamed of, esp if you really
need a chance to relax (like I do). being sorry for yourself, well...
that's definitely different. must admit I've been really guilty of that
myself. it's hard to fight too. *sigh* but try we must.

A Cry In the Darkness
---------------------

So now I am alone again
Will I ever be going home again
And just where is this place
That everyone calls home
It's not a number on the phone
A house beside a street
There's someone I will meet
And maybe then when I have found her
I'll know where I am going
A place inside from knowing
Where she is

Just who are you and who am I
I've looked - nomatter how I try
When all I see is empty space
So deep within that special place
Where you are meant to be
I've tried, I just can't see
Which way is it I have to go
And all I really want to know
Is where are you and where is me
How can I find you to set free
The love that's caught up
Deep inside, these feelings for you
I can't hide

I live another lonely day
And keep on searching for a way
To bring us closer, bring us home
To stop us living so alone
To end the waiting, hoping, pain
Arriving home and there remain
To hold you close and never part
To let our love's true story start
