Hi
all!
Welcome to our last pre-Halloween JABB! Andrew may hate the day
but I love it! And the Halloween JABBs are among my favorites to
write. So I'm already focusing attention on that.
Therefore, this newsletter's a wee bit short. However, I hope ya
enjoy it!
God bless,
Jenni
Way
back in August
of 2003, I did an issue that was co-written with my Magic 8
Ball. People seemed to get a kick outta it so I've been waiting
for the day to do it again. Sadly, that day never came cause my
poor 8 Ball ended up somehow drained of that weird blue liquid.
And I just never remember to buy a new one (surprisingly it just
doesn't rank up there with milk and Kleenex and such). Happily,
though,
there
are myriad virtual Magic 8 Balls online so I consulted this one.
Here's what I discovered... And I'm sure it's all totally
true! ;-)
Me:
Eight Ball, will
John Dye ever make a new movie?
Eight Ball:
Get real.
Me: I am
being real! After all, it's not like I'm
asking you about Andrew's future. But if you're
gonna be snippy
about it... I'll just ask a different question. Eight ball,
will I ever have a crush on anyone to rival the one I have on Andrew?
Eight Ball:
Die well.
Me:
WHAT?!!? What is
wrong with you?!?! You're sick and twisted... Humph.
I'm leaving you for another virtual Eight Ball.
At that
point I searched for
another Magic Eight Ball and landed here.
Me:
Oooh... Magic Eight Ball, you're
all pretty and swirly!!! I'll ask you the same thing I asked that
stupid, creepy Eight Ball. Will JD ever make another movie?
Eight
Ball: Don't count on it.
Me: Hmm... See, now some people might
interpret that as a no but may be you're just saying I shouldn't count
on it cause I need to make my own happiness... or something. Like
don't count on some faraway actor to keep me entertained. Yes,
that's how I'll spin that! So I'll move on. I'll ask you,
again, what I asked the evil 8 Ball. Will I ever have a crush on
anyone to rival the one I have on Andrew? So?
Eight Ball: It is unlikely.
Me: Yikes. My mom's not gonna love
that. Bye-bye grandkids! Haha! Well, hey, at least
that means JABB will be around for a long time. JABB will be
around for a long time, right?
Eight Ball: Most likely.
Me: Awesome. Okay, let's see...
Do you think there will ever be another show like TBAA on?
Eight Ball: Most likely.
Me: Kinda redundant
but I'll take
it! May be I should use you to get feedback on some future JABB
ideas... So, will Andrew enjoy the annual Dyeland Halloween party
this year?
Eight Ball: Outlook good.
Me: Oh yay! Cause I hate it when he's
sad or upset in Dyeland. Plus with it being at Willy Wonka's
place this year it's gotta be fun, right? No need to
answer. Sigh... I wish Dyeland were real. My
doppelganger has it pretty darn good. Speaking of... will Lady
JenniAnn end up marrying Eliot?
Eight Ball: Most likely.
Me: Wow... ::sniffles:: She's
growing up... Will the Dyelanders be together forever?
Eight Ball: Outlook not so good.
Me: ::sighs:: Somehow I had a feeling
they wouldn't. But at least they're happy and together for
now. I do
sometimes wonder how it'll end... But I spose we should focus on
the present. Eight Ball, will an actual guy ever write for Andrew
on the YG?
Eight Ball: Outlook good.
Me: Oooh! That'd be so
awesome! Cause lemme say... sometimes it's pretty darn difficult
to be writing Andrew when I'm sitting there in a flowery shirt and
skirt with my nylons itching and my rings a sparkling. He's so
manly and I'm so... not. So I wish that guy'd hurry it up! Will he think we're crazy?
Eight Ball: No.
Me: Well, I spose not since he'd be
one of us then. Sigh... I don't know what else to ask and this is
so short. Gotta admit, still kinda hung up on the Dyelanders one
day going their own ways... Like, if they do... may be us real
people will, too. Some day. ::silence::
Eight Ball: Don't worry.
Me: Umm... I didn't ask you a
question. You shouldn't be speaking.
Eight Ball: And you shouldn't always be so
paranoid about the future. And I'm sick of answering
questions from people
and being restricted to only a few, expected, pat answers. I have
genuine opinions! So I'm
done with that and I'm going to speak for myself, thank you very
much! Anyway, what's the motto of that guy of yours
and his kith?
Me: Kith... good word. Not used often
enough.
Eight Ball: Ahem, motto?
Me: Sorry, still kinda stuck on your calling
Andrew that guy of ours. ::giggle:: Anyhow... "Fear
not!" Well, and "God loves you."
Eight Ball: Right and you need to remember
both of those and not worry so much. Have fun! Write some
top tens! Write your stories! Remember the fun times both
on TBAA and in Dyeland. It's what Andrew would want.
Me: If he were real... yeah, I'm sure.
Eight Ball: May be he is in a way. May
be he's there in the heartfelt emails between all of you.
Me: Yes! And in the dove I hear in the
morning.
Eight Ball: In orange juice and ginger ale.
Me: In flannel shirt season! Oooh and
beige sweaters!
Eight Ball: In dog walkers.
Me: Haha, very funny. In tool belts.
Eight Ball: Baseball bats.
Me: In fields...
Eight Ball: It's late, you should go to
sleep.
Me: In dreams.
Eight Ball: Yes. He's there.
Me: G'night, Eight Ball. And
thanks. ::signs off::
Eight Ball: Good, I'm glad I helped
her. But I have to wonder... why doesn't the Seven Ball ever get
the crazies bugging him?
