But I digress...
I just read the Melodicrock (melody-crock? hehehehe) interview, and WOW....you never cease to amaze me. In fact, lean in a little closer Stephen, I have a secret to tell you....don't tell anybody, but I actually got MOIST reading that damned interview. Yep. You used to make me cream all over myself, (damn you to hell), whenever you opened that gorgeous pie-hole of yours...but now, READING what I IMAGINE your pie hole saying does the same damned THING?!!! HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO THAT?!! How can ONE WEIRD OLD GUY LIKE YOU completely annihilate my 40-something hormones into MUSH, just from READING A GODDAMNED INTERVIEW?!! Jeezus. You kill me. You really kill me.
And GOD how I love to die.
Do it again! Do it again!!
WAIT!!!! THE EBAY THING IS ALMOST DONE!!!! AAAUUUGGGHHH!!! I GOTTA GO CHECK IT!!! WHO WON?!! (wasn't me, sadly). FIVE MORE MINUTES!! Nobody else is bidding! That damned filthy rich schmuck who bid $10,100 is going to win, (wouldn't it be HILARIOUS but GREAT if it were NEAL SCHON?! LOL!!)....but it makes me wish I had gone to a bank to get a friggin' LOAN. (Sigh). I can't believe this bid has been sitting STAGNANT for 6 days straight!! Cheap asses. SELL SOME BLOOD YOU ROTTEN BASTAGES!! (Yeah, I'm talkin' to me too). Shoulda.
And the count down begins....

AND IT IS DONE!!!! Somebody somewhere is dancing a jig and whooping it up right now!! I offer my "I hate you because I'm so jealous" dance to the winner, and reluctantly congratulate him or her. BLEAH.
Yeah, I hope it was Neal, that would friggin' be funny as hell!
Ah well, you SINGLE-HANDEDLY just raised a buttload of cash for breast cancer, my sweet loving, compassionate, sensitive man. I GIVE YOU A CYBER-HUG!!! You're an awesome human. If I should ever---God forbid---be diagnosed with breast cancer, (knock on wood and all that crap), I will PERSONALLY thank you for doing this, if I have to hitch-hike my way across the country with an IV stuck to my arm...seriously. Because I love you THAT MUCH.
Soooooo this interview....very very cool....and lemme tell you, the songs....all those songs you talked about....oh man...Trial By Fire....yep...I've lived it. You speak not only truths from your own life, but most of what you write and sing about are UNIVERSAL TRUTHS that many people can relate to, because they have gone through similar things. THAT is the beauty and the magic of Journey. And it still makes the music TIMELESS, even now, and it will ALWAYS remain timeless, long after all of you guys are dead and gone. That is the coolest thing about Journey. You are IMMORTAL....there's that word again....the title of your NEW ALBUM, I hope....because you just keep kickin', like that damned Energizer Bunny.
And HEY!!! If I was your girlfriend, and you simply mentioned "my girlfriend" in an interview, without at LEAST mentioning my FIRST NAME, I would slap you upside the head a few hundred times. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT WOMAN'S NAME IN THE RED DRESS?! And WHY didn't that idiot ASK YOU that question?! JEEZUS!!! Every FEMALE in this entire WORLD wants to know!!!
(Heh....I'll just ask Lora). So nyah. She'll tell me. She likes me. And yes, Lora and Cyndi are both amazing, and they never seem to take sides very often...though with me, in a few emails over the years, I have noticed slight leanings and comments that allude to taking a side. But, you are correct, they are AWESOME people, both of 'em, and especially for making this Ebay thing happen. I think EVERY MEMBER OF JOURNEY should follow your example. (But, we all know they have never really liked doing that in the past, so I won't hold my breath).
You, Sir, are a leader. No way in HELL would you EVER be happy being a FOLLOWER. And I tell ya, I am like that too in a lot of ways....though my true nature is being submissive and following every dutiful order given to me by the man I love...I still march to my own drummer, and do things my own way. (Which is partially why working in DC killed me). They really wanted a mindless DRONE type of person, who just wanted a paycheck and didn't care about anything else. The bummer was, I cared. I cared TOO MUCH about the history of the Holocaust, (and still do), but LIKE YOU, Sir, I had to walk away from it when 9/11 happened. I had to, or I would probably have gone completely insane. I mean, I know what you mean in that interview, about having no choice. You had to do what you did. And if you HADN'T done what you did when you did it, you'd have a completely different outcome going on right now. And so would I. In fact, I probably wouldn't be here typing this to you, I'd be 6 feet under.
So, I for one, am THRILLED to feel the familiar moistness that you have always caused me, just from reading (and hearing your voice in my HEAD as I'm reading), and I just want to say, I love you from the tip-of-my-toes, to a billion FOREVERS, above my head and beyond, into every universe in the galaxy.
AND more than chocolate.
Before I go, I just wanted to tell you that I found a dream diary I once kept, years ago, and on October 14, 1998, I had a dream about you that I wrote about.....it was quite vivid....I wonder if you know what you were doing on that very day? I'll write it to you next time, though, it's getting late and I'm tired. I had a dream about you this morning too, (I often hear you sing in my dreams...or I hear music of some kind a lot....and yes, I dream in color too).
Thank you, Stephen, for the interview....and for making somebody's day by knowing they won the Ebay phone call thing....and for being the most awesome human I have ever known. *SMOOCH*
You rock my world. You always have. You always will.
Bye for now.
Love, Rebecca
