January 2, 2001 Happy New Year!
   I decided to add a little more to my web page.  Because this is to be a constantly-changing page, I also chose a new background, taken from
Bertino's web page.

In late December, I purchased a copy of Poe's new album,
Haunted.  The album's theme centers around the recent death of her father, and - being a stereotypical girl being stereotypically estranged from her father, a lot of the songs hit pretty close to home.  Even down to chess references (which my father taught me to play), abandoning dreams and selling out one's heart...funny how our lives can parallel each other's.

                    "Control" (excerpt)

Don't you mess with a little girl's dreams
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean                                   
Curious to hear what I'm
                                                                                            
so hooked on?  Click here!
Surprised you to find that I'm laughing?
You thought that you'd find me in tears 
You thought I'd be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

Well, you may be king for the moment
But I am the queen - understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops
And castles
All inside the palm of my hand

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control...

                                        "Haunted" (excerpt)

                                  And I'm haunted
                                  By the lives that I have loved
                                  And actions I have hated
                                  I'm haunted
                                  By the lives that wove the web
                                  Inside my haunted head...

                                                                    "Wild" (excerpts)
  
                                                      I go wild cause you break me open
                                                      Wild cause you left me here
                                                      I go wild...
          
                                                      ...Wild 'cause it doesn't make any sense
                                                      For me to cry out in my own defense
                                                      Wild 'cause I would do anything
                                                      To tear you off your precious fence...

                                                      ...Tell me what you've come for
                                                      Moving like a hunter through my back door
                                                      Leaving the perfume of all you adore
                                                      To die nameless on my floor...

                                                      You've got a lot of nerve to come back here
                                                      You're not the only one who can smell fear

                                                      I go wild
                                                      'Cause you break me open
                                                      Wild
                                                      'Cause you left me here
                                                      I go wild
                                                      'Cause your promises are broken
                                                      Wild
                                                      Don't you get it dear?
                                                      You're not the only one who lives on instincts
                                                      No I've got instincts of my own

                                                      You've got a lot of nerve to come back
                                                      Plan your attack - yeah, I am still waiting
                                                      You wrote the rules to try to contain me
                                                      You broke 'em
                                                      Now you have untamed me
                                                       I go wild
                                                       I go wild

                                                       Tell me what you've come for
                                                       What is it you adore -
                                                       Won't you tell me?
                                                       What would you
                                                       Go wild for?

                                                        You've got a lot of nerve to come back here
                                                         Speak up my darling I have been waiting...
