when i first signed on i used a variant spelling of my first name, and chose the user icon maggie. when the board moved, i wanted to keep maggie (i LOVE maggie. she's so cute, and brilliant, and suave, and articulate. everything i wanna be.) but i wanted a name that wasn't so close to my own.

then, i thought - whats a name to decribe my user icon? a doll? dolly? dollie? toy? puppet? poppet! i wonder if elvis used the word poppet in a song?

yup, he did (it's actually something i haven't heard yet, and can't remember which it is). and since many people had names that had connections to elvis or his work, poppet was appropriate.

so, hi, i'm poppet, and i love elvis.

Its "American Without Tears #2" the "twilight version" on the Blood and Chocolate bonus disc. Or thats where I know it from . . .

"It was the story of a young English poppet
Who took up with a soldier boy
And thought she would profit
Just like me she found out what true love is about
Anyway she's in New Orleans It would never work out"

Someone needs to take away this woman's car! It seems to be the source of a lot of her violent behaviour

Blue has me dead to rights........I'm an evil, evil woman with a car!!!

I think the reference to the car is to eliminate the assumption of a plane, as planes just freak me out.......

One "l", huh? My best friend in high school was also named Michelle. We were both actually named Michelle Renee. In grade school there were so many Michelles they numbered us.....I think I was Michelle 3 or something like that.

Laughing, I'm French.......!!!!!

Misha - did any of your teachers ever say "Don't walk away Michelle Renee"? Or sing it?

Motel Matches. For a long time, I couldn't figure out what EC was singing at the beginning of the song and I had no lyric sheet to refer to. It was also the pre-Internet era, so there was no resource for lyric searches. Then one day I figured it out. Now, of course, all of the re-issues include lyrics and extensive liner notes, but with the old Columbia LPs there were not a lot of frills.

From the song "So Like Candy", of course. My dad had a nickname for me when I was little: Pecan Pie--because I was brown and sweet.

I like anything having to do with sugar....so...there you are.

From LOVE WENT MAD. I am not only hard to break, but a silent partner in someone else's mistake...

Actually I've lately been an annoyingly loquacious, perhaps noisome partner in someone else's mistake, but nonetheless I love that original couplet!

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 12:50 pm

from the song from that other movie. but I pushed a button so I could talk in the past and not the present tense. (and I think that sets a Personal Best in the use of prepositions).

I was listening to the Imperial Bedroom bonus disc, and Little Goody Two Shoes was playing as I was registering. No analysis, no inside joke, nothing telling about me.

You're right, I hate complaining... cos it annoys the hell out of me. And where else would you expect to find Miss Buenos Aires? And under silk sheets. Just like Misha and Bobster (I don't mean to start any embarrassing messageboard innuendo or anything, but did you two get it on, or what?).

Nope Bamboo.....NOT that you are trying to start any rumors or anything....we met up and snacked and saw a movie and then went back out and ate again, then shopped for old cds....we both had a great time...will probably do it again....both of our schedules permitting.....speaking for my side of the fence....We have yet to name the baby......

---Not that I'm trying to start any messageboard innuendo or anything...sorry to tell you this way Bobster.....

Damn those diabolical musicians!

Re: Drunken unmarriages (Britney and Justin; Misha and Me -- esp. alarming seeing as Misha doesn't drink). I believe there's a new amendment to the proposed "Defense of Marriage" constitutional amendment that will specifically prevent members of the same fan board from marrying without signed permission slips from the celebrity in question.
