Hi everyone... Before we get into the newsletter I have a couple announcements
1. Due to Talkcity
crashing the JABB TOC's url is now:
http://www.newsletters.onthisside.net/toc1.html
Every JABB url has changed except for the 12 Steps and the first two
newsletters. If you had JABB urls linked on your personal pages please
change them. Thank you. If you would like your own homepage listed on
the JABB links page please email.
2. If you would like
to send a short introduction to me I will be glad
to post it in a near-future issue of JABB. Include whatever information
you would like fellow members to know about you. We suggest you leave
any sensitive information (detailed location, full name, etc.) out of
it since these newsletters get posted on the web. Email for details.
Okay, this is the very last newsletter of summer vacation. On the plus
side, that means we'll soon have new episodes to write about which
makes things easier. Nonetheless, it is difficult for some of us to
return. "Some of us" meaning Jenni. For others, the end of August
couldn't be more welcome...
Top Ten Reasons
Andrew Looks
Forward to School Starting
10. He's guaranteed to have some Dyelanders out of his hair (literally) for at least 8 hours a day.
9. The term papers and massive reading assignments leave little time for drooling, stalking, or marriage proposals from the students in Dyeland.
8. It signals the
beginning of the TV season which means focus will
slide towards "TV Andrew" and away from "Real Andrew," thus leaving
Andrew time to pursue other interests... like rumba dancing.
7. It puts people more in the mood to discuss Shakespeare with Vincent than appropriate hair length with himself.
6. It'll leave the
Dyeland Castle ballroom unoccupied for several hours
a day, giving him time and a place to call Adam and Henry together to
try and get their rock band back up and running.
5. Caffeine-aided study groups will allow Monica a group to sip coffee with despite Tess' protestations and secretly... Andrew kinda likes to ruffle Tess' feathers.
4. He hopes that they'll meet other people to celebrate Halloween with and not drag him to another party. He quickly realizes this is a pipe dream.
3. It means Christmas
is approaching and Andrew can't help but get a
little misty-eyed thinking of everyone coming back to Dyeland again.
2. Absence makes the heart grow fonder...
1. Chiwawa will be
returning from summer vacation in Ireland. That'll
make it easier for Andrew to protect John's former hair.
We at JABB understand what a big adjustment it is to go from high
school to college (we've both done it). As a public service for our
members we have written this small, helpful list of dos and don'ts to
help you for your freshman year. Feel free to email us with additions.
1. Do ask Andrew for
his most unique viewpoint while writing history term papers.
Don't list him on your Sources page as "Andrew, Angel of Death,
Heaven." Take advice from one who has been there and done that, it only
gets you a visit to the Student Health office.
2. Do understand that
"Dead Week" refers to the week before finals
during which most people are dead tired from studying and most
activities cease.
Do not assume it means you should bring your AOD friend to classes and
introduce him as such.
3. Do try and handle
scuffles with roommates in a calm, tolerant manner.
Do not threaten to call Andrew in to help them "see the light."
(Sincerest apologies if this newsletter fails to make sense. Colds are
very, very bad... Just be glad you didn't get a sappy mess as original
version of newsletter contained sappy letters to Andrew)
