Chapter 9
March 3rd, 1999 around 8 at night
Liz smiled at her niece's ecstatic voice. "So, Annieliz? Will you take me PLEASE???"
"I don't know, Lisa. I'm not big on boybands."
"But, it will be fun!! Momma and Daddy can't go. Please? It will be fun. We even get to MEET THEM. YAY!!"
Elizabeth smiled and walked over to her desk and plopped down in the chair. "Ok, ok. I'll go."
"YOU WILL?"
She smiled and scanned her desktop calendar. "Sure. When is it again? I need to make sure its not going to mess up soccer or school or anything."
"It's April 16th."
"That's perfect. It's a teacher workday!" She said in a sing songy voice.
"Good, because daddy says the meet n greet thingy is at like 4."
"Ok. Well, girl we will just go and meet Nsync then huh?"
"I CANT WAIT TO MEET JC!!"
Liz pulled the phone from her ear and her eyes widened. "I can't wait to see your face when you meet them."
"Momma says she needs to talk to Grandpa so I betta go."
"Ok, bye Lisa."
"Bye bye Annieliz!!"
Lizzie smiled and put the phone to her chest and yelled. "Dad its Sara on the phone!!"
She heard her dad pick up on the other end and sat the phone back on it cradle. She immediately went back to her conversation.
DMBluvr81: Sorry bout that, it was my little niece on the phone.
CurlyJay23: That's quite alright.
DMBluvr81: So what's going on over where you're at?
CurlyJay23: Not much, watching tv
DMBluvr81: OH CRAP! I forgot Emeril is on.
CurlyJay23: you are funny.
DMBluvr81: Mmmmm, that looks good. You should turn it to the food network.
CurlyJay23:...picking up remote...
After a minute or two of watching Emeril Justin shook his head and typed.
CurlyJay23: Liz, all he has done is put onions in some oil...
DMBluvr81: So...Oh BAM! Go for the salt baby! Kick it up a notch!!
CurlyJay23: you are pitiful
DMBluvr81: I know, but you still think I'm sexy.
CurlyJay23: yeah, with your long blonde hair, fair skin and big blue eyes.
DMBluvr81: brrrrnnn try again...I have eh, shoulder length or longer brown hair, and brown eyes and I have tanish skin with freckles on my nose. Hehe, I'm cute as a button.
CurlyJay23: Cocky as hell to. If you are wondering I have short bleached hair and blue eyes and I have freckles on my shoulders.
DMBluvr81: I wasn't wondering.
CurlyJay23: Oh well. Told ya anyway.
DMBluvr81: So tell me Justin, are you like a big jock or popular kid where you live? Or are you a nerd with taped up glasses.
CurlyJay23: Nerd...nah, I guess you could say I'm in the "popular crowd" you?
DMBluvr81: Yeah, I mean all my friends and I are considered that way, but I try and make friend with everyone. I don't exclude people. I'm not a freak, I'm not a thug, I'm not a nerd, I'm not a jock (though we know who wished I was), I'm not stuck up. I'm myself.
CurlyJay23: See that's what I like about cha. And how are things with dad? You haven't really said much about that ever since the big "blow out."
DMBluvr81: I don't know. It's weird. I try and make an effort but nothing changes. It's like it has been for the past..18 years. He is the one that got me off being grounded more than a week from the internet.
CurlyJay23: See, making progress already.
DMBluvr81: I guess.
CurlyJay23: I'm going to ask you a question.
DMBluvr81: lol thanks for announcing that ahead of time. Wait...let me get ready..
He smiled at the screen, rolling his eyes.
DMBluvr81: Ok...shoot...lol
CurlyJay23: :) FREAK...no, I'm wondering what state you are in? You know I'm in Fla.
DMBluvr81: I live in Victoria.
CurlyJay23: huh?
DMBluvr81: The state....
CurlyJay23: Umm, I'm pretty sure there's not a state called Victoria. Where's it located?
DMBluvr81: in the south
CurlyJay23: ohhh no. I'm pretty sure I know enough about the southern states. There is NO state called Victoria.
DMBluvr81: Um, yes there is. Look at a map, mate.
CurlyJay23: whatever, MATE.
DMBluvr81: :)
CurlyJay23: Wait...isn't...I remember studying Australia in middle school. There is a providence called...you LIVE IN AUSTRALIA??
DMBluvr81: No, I wish though.
CurlyJay23: huh?
DMBluvr81: I live in Maryland, bozo. Right outside of Baltimore. You are funny. I was just kidding. I love Australia, but no I don't live there. Victoria is in the southern part of Australia though, mate.
CurlyJay23: You mess with a dude's mind too much, Liz. Have you ever been there?
DMBluvr81: Nope, want to go SO bad though. Have you?
CurlyJay23: Nah, I've been to a lot of places but never there.
DMbluvr81: Where all have you been?
CurlyJay23: Ohh in every state (in the US) possible. Europe, esp. France England and Germany. Uh, been to Mexico a few times, the Bahamas. Stuff like that.
DMBluvr81: um...I've been New York City.
CurlyJay23: Who hasn't?
DMBluvr81: Shut up just because you travel all the damn time doesn't mean you have to get all snobby on me.
CurlyJay23: I'm not getting snobby.
DMBluvr81: I know, I'm just jealous. The only big family trips we ever take are to Washington DC and Virginia and Pennsylvania. Which sucks because all they have there is historic crap.
CurlyJay23: That DOES suck. You need to come down here and let me take you to Disney world or something. That would be fun. To see miss sarcasm have fun at the happiest place on earth.
DMBluvr81: ohhh, that all I've ever wanted to do, was go to Disney world. Just to see all the little kids and act like a big goof ball. Man...
CurlyJay23: Yeah, its great. You should come down and let me show ya all the hot spots!
DMBluvr81: Are you suggesting we meet CurlyJay?
CurlyJay23: Uh, no. I was just saying.
DMBluvr81: Would you want to meet me?
Justin stopped. He didn't know what to say to that. They couldn't meet. He was who he was and...it just wouldn't work. After a long moment he slowly typed.
CurlyJay23: I don't know what to say.
DMBluvr81: Calm down Justin. I'm not suggesting we actually MEET. Just wondering if it ever crossed your mind. It crossed my mind. I'm not GOING to meet you, so don't start buying my plane tickets. I'm just curious....
He smiled as she obviously picked up somehow on his worry.
CurlyJay23: Yeah, I've thought about it.
DMBluvr81: You got to admit, it would be really funny. We would just stand there going. Wow, I never pictured you this ugly..lol kidding of course...
CurlyJay23: Nah, I'd be like.."baby (real low voice) your beauty knocks me off my feet."
DMBluvr81: and then I would be like. "Oh what? ohh, I thought you were someone else. Sorry bud, got that wrong girl..TOODLES!" And then run out of their screaming.
CurlyJay23: I doubt that. You would probably stand there for a while going, "oh my god..."
DMBluvr81: Um, DOUBT IT.
CurlyJay23: For the hell of it. I say, IF our paths ever cross some how, when you meet me you will probably say "oh my god..." at least once. I bet you 50 bucks.
DMBluvr81: Our paths will never cross but I'll take you on that bet.
CurlyJay23: Allright...now we gotta meet. I want my money baby.
DMBluvr81: Don't get your hopes up "jay" we'll never meet. I don't think I'll ever stoop to actually MEETING someone I talk to online (no offense)
CurlyJay23: I know, like you said I just think it would be neat (none taken)
DMBluvr81: You know we never did pose as Britney and that Nsync fellow. Wanna go do that now?
CurlyJay23: Yeah, but lets pose as someone else. Britney and "that Nsync fellow" are getting to be old news.
DMBluvr81: Ok, well let's just stir up some trouble. Not pose but just annoy the heck outta everyone.
CurlyJay23: Well you do have the gift of annoyance.
DMbluvr81:...blushes... Thanks!
