Happy Third Anniversary!!!!


Hello JABBers!!! This issue is very special as it marks our third anniversary as a group. It was three years ago tonight that JABB started in the old AOL-TBAA chatroom. We'd like to thank you for being part of this group. The following are some of the emails we've collected that we feel best exhibit our time on JABB. Enjoy!


Subj: J.A.B.B.- Here we go!
Date: 07/24/98 11:47 AM
From: seraph---
To: Ferdo0204

Hey Audrey!
I'm so excited about this idea! Do you think people will go for it? Have you heard from anyone yet? Wouldn't it be amazing if we hit, like, 40 members?! I just hope my parents don't ever find out about this! LOL I'm not sure I want them knowing they have a crazed, obsessed fan for a daughter... yet. Worse yet, what if John ever reads this?!? I would turn bright red if I knew he had! Oh my gosh! Oh well, there's at least one person we won't have to worry about... Andrew! At least he's fake! :-)
God bless,
Jenni

Hey Jenni!
I still can't believe we're actually going through with this!! I got 5 responses. That makes 10!! Can you believe it?! Do you think it'll really last? Only time can tell. Anyhow. I'm not quite sure how I'd react if John ever read it. It'd be kinda cool and really freaky at the same time!! Anyway, got an ideas for this first issue?!?!
Bye
Audrey


Subj: All gone!!

To: Ferdo0204

It's gone... I can't believe it... I miss it all ready... OH JOHN!!! THE HAIR!!! WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO ME?!? LOL Okay, really I'm okay. I'll miss the long hair but, sheesh, I'm not that dramatic! (Here's hoping I never am! Scary!) It'll at least give us something to write about in our *second* issue. That's so cool. I can't believe we're actually doing this. I'm not sure if it'll last. I guess just have fun with it while we can!
God bless,
Jenni


Subj: The Hair!
Date: 08/06/98 12:11 PM
From: Ferdo0204
To: seraph---

Hey Jenni!
You're NEVER going to believe this!! OMG! I found out what happened to his hair!! But I can't tell you right now. It has to wait because there is NO TELLING who might be reading our e-mails and I can't dare let the secret out. So, on to something more sharable. Let's work on JABB. Here's an idea: We update the keepers list and then there's this poem I've been working on. I'll send it later.
Hugs
Audrey

Hello,
My name is John Dye. Umm, I guess you know that. I was at my psychologist's office and found about your fan group. I wanted to thank you... I think. I'm sorry I'm really new to this whole "organized, 12-step based fan club" thing. It's overwhelming. Well, glad you like the show!
God bless,
John Dye


Subj: John's email!
Date: 09/12/98 12:56 PM
From: Ferdo0204
To: seraph---

Hey Jenni,
Can you believe that? John actually emailed us! I guess I know now how I'd react if John emailed: amazed, surprised, but not horrified. How are you holding up? I can just see you jumping up from your puter and pacing around the kitchen. So exactly how many times have you had to stifle your screams? =)
Hugs,
Aud


Subj: AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

To: Ferdo0204

Aud!!!!!
Did you just see that?! Andrew appeared on TV! It was like a news show. And then a demon came! But who cares about a demon. Do you get what this means?! Andrew *is* real! First, John contacts us and now this! And this whole time I thought I could be as goofy as I wanted to about Andrew and he wouldn't know! He's real!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm gonna die! Oh wait, no, then I'd see Andrew even sooner! How are we gonna explain this to him??? Geez, what do you think John must think about this? I better go. I need to go somewhere and scream really loud.
God bless,
JenniAnn

Jen,
It'll be okay. Trust me. I think we need to worry a lot more about the hundreds of new members we'll get thanks to this new revelation rather than freak out about Andrew scorning the group. I bet you anything he'll really think it's fun. He's seen an awful lot in his time, this prolly looks like nothing.
Hugs
Aud


Subj: Happy birthday to John, happy birthday to John...

To: Ferdo0204

Hi Aud,
Wow, this is our first Dye Day as a group! Actually, my first Dye Day, period. I never much considered it anything to celebrate before. Heck, I have a hard enough time planning my own birthday celebrations! But anyway, you think Jarrod had any idea we'd actually turn this into a celebration when he wrote that Top Ten? Just goes to show you, don't say anything in jest on J.A.B.B.! It just might be taken seriously! :-) The chat was great, it was so exciting to chat with people who we'd only heard from in regards to subbing and "official" stuff. Anyway, have a great day!
God bless,
Jenni


Subj: Home, sweet home
Date: 08/24/99 3:36 PM
From: seraph---
To: Ferdo0204

Hi Audrey,
Boy, is it a relief to get home after our stay in that awful cellar of Kiwi's! And so soon after settling in Dyeland, too. I hope my parents never find out about that. If they do I'll prolly end up with a detestable nanny or something. And me, 17! Although, having John come running in to rescue us was quite nice. It's nice to know our own Chiwawa is so resourceful also. And he has a girlfriend... I think I hear wedding bells!
God bless,
JenniAnn


Subj: V
Date: 02/12/00 1:17 AM
From: seraph---
To: Ferdo0204

Hello Audrey,
Well, I guess there's no hiding my admiration for V any more. When he showed up yesterday morning I think I lost any ability to hide. But he *did* show up to rescue us from Cliff's spell. He is a dependable sort. Oh please don't be mad! You haven't said anything or answered my emails since we parted after Cliff and John and V left. It's not that I like Andrew or John any less. I just... I don't know. Well, at least the wedding went off well. Sorry.
God bless,
JenniAnn


Subj: Traitor!!!

From: Ferdo0204
To: seraph---

Jen,
I just haven't been online very much with school. Senior year can be really hectic, as you know. I still think you're a traitor. I suppose even traitors deserve mercy though. =) I'll forgive you just don't let it happen again! Or if it must can you please pick someone just as... interesting again? It at least gives us something to joke about. Plus, it brings Kiwi such joy. Sticky out ears... Haha.
Aud


Subj: Yesterday's Enchantment
Date: 04/13/00 4:32 PM
From: seraph---
To: Ferdo0204

Hi Aud,
Was yesterday not the weirdest thing ever? Although it was rather enjoyable watching Victor fawn all over you. LOL I can't believe I said his name, though. Oh well, after Kiwi enchanting he and John I don't think anything will look strange any more! That was just utterly unbelievable. Amazing, yesterday I was about to go insane over the two of them and now I find it utterly hilarious. Hmm, maybe this will help me keep things in perspective. You know, like not freak out about things too much... Naw, I don't think so. We all know how I am. :-) Well, I hope you get some rest today. I'm staying here at home to get my bearings back. I'll be back in Dyeland next week.
God bless,
JenniAnn


Subj: Thank you

Hi Aud,
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you, John, and Victor helping me get my memory back yesterday. I was so scared. JABB means a lot to me and I hope I never, ever trully forget it. Dyeland's become like a second home to me. I am a little saddened by Victor's departure. I don't deal well with change. But I admit, I'm very excited to have a new person move in. I hope it is who I think it will be!
God bless and much thanks,
JenniAnn

Hey JenniAnn,
No prob. I'm really glad you got your memory back. I really don't wanna be the sole president. Although it might be nice to write JABB and not have to worry about mystery men running about. I just hope that never happens again. John might not be able to stop me from hitting you again. =)

Subj: President Andrew!!!!!!!
Date: 11/12/00 12:57 AM
From: seraph---
To: Ferdo0204, President@dyeland.net+

Hi Audrey and our most esteemed President!
LOL It feels so cool to say that! I suppose you think it's odd that I email when I saw you both just a few hours ago at Andrew's party. I'm just so excited! Andrew, I can't believe you'll spend part of your time in Dyeland now! And just two buildings away! (Do I sound obsessively scary enough? I can say more. :-) Seriously, I think this will be really, really fun. My parents even like the idea. Apparently, they think Andrew's more dependable than you and me, Aud. Imagine that! Sheesh, he's only... how many more hundreds of years older than us? :-) I am so excited to get back to Dyeland, it'll be a blast working together, the three of us. I'm sure all of JABB is just as psyched!
God bless,
JenniAnn


Subj: Thanks again
Date: 12/21/00 9:32 PM
From: seraph---
To: President@dyeland.net

Dear Andrew,
I just wanted to thank you again for standing up to Kathleen at the Christmas party. I still feel really stupid about letting her in. I guess I just wanted to believe things had changed, I still think one day they will. Anyway, I hope we'll get to see you back in Dyeland soon, after your next assignment. We miss you!
Love,
JenniAnn



Subj: Freaked out beyond belief....

To: Vincent@dyeland.net+

Vincent,
I feel stupid emailing when you're just two doors down but it's really late/early and I don't wanna wake you up but I want to vent. (Plus I don't think I could get myself to Andrew's house with out passing out, I'm beat.) What do you really think about these "ghosts" Aud and I saw? I really, really want to dismiss them. I guess I'm really hoping you'll tell me I should. You're sensible but somehow I think you won't. Prolly cause you are sensible. They really were, there. Anyway, thank you so much for coming. I'm so glad my parents asked. We need to catch up on the past four years. Ever had a cappuccino? Or better yet... a frappuccino... No, a latte. Well, they're all good. Anyway, I'm about to fall over here.
God bless,
JenniAnn


Subj: Help me-ee-eee!!!!!!!!!!
Date: 06/13/01 2:22 PM
From: seraph---
To: Vincent@dyeland.net+

Vincent,
I know you're not due back here til tomorrow but can you please phone me asap. I just really need to hear from someone but I don't wanna tell my parents anything yet. Too early to worry them. And here I am prolly worrying you, sorry. Okay, I happened upon John, Audrey, and Andrew chatting. I kinda felt like they wanted me to leave so I did. Andrew had a particularly apprehensive look which struck me as odd. It gave me a horrible presentiment that something was going on in there. I did something I really shouldn't have. I snuck into the room directly above Aud's office and listened through the vents. I only a heard a little bit cause it was really hard to hear. Vincent, I think they're plotting something. Shoot, there's a knock on my door. Let me know what you think.
God bless,
JenniAnn

JenniAnn,
I will be there as soon as I can. Meanwhile, please do not let them know that you overheard their plot. Try not to get too worried until we know what is actually happening. You'll only harm yourself.
Be well,
Vincent


Subj: NWO

To: President@dyeland.net, John@******.com+

Hello,
I just wanted to let you both know that starting now all plots are off. The 20th is JABB's anniversary and despite current circumstances I think we can all come together for one day and celebrate with out secret plots. It'll be fun and like the old days before all this got weird. So as of receiving this email you are both hors de combat.
Thanks,
Aud

Hi Aud,
Well, here we are. Three years later and still writing JABB. So much has changed but I'm glad we've kept it going. Gosh, this newsletter has survived some of my friendships, several phases and assorted crushes, and a move from high school to college. It's been a pleasure writing this with you and I am so thankful to everyone who joined us. Well, here's to another year.
