You’re so special that I want you to have a picture of a monkey eating pudding.
And I don’t say that to just anyone.

31 Aug 04 at 12:51 pm #You matter enough for me to continually follow your daily life for over 5 years. This is in spite of the fact that we’ve never met and only chatted or e-mailed on a few occasions.
I always check in 2-3 times per week to check and see what’s up in the Jodi’s world.

You type pretty, and witty…
each day!
So it’s a pity…
That you feel shitty…
And I hope that feeling
soon goes away!!!
I found something I think will cheer up my favorite writer:

‘member back in the day when i was all nervous about being a sportswriter? if it wouldn’t have been you having experience in newspaper and telling me i could do it, i never would have tried it. and that’s one of the best things i’ve ever done in my life!
31 Aug 04 at 3:27 pm #Jodi - I have spent countless hours at work soaking in your tremendous wisdom since I found your iwilldare site a few weekd ago (and reading everything you’ve probably ever posted anywhere, ever). You are fantabulous, and what ever made you sad sucks giant donkey balls.
How smart are you?
Very smart (thinly veiled reference which will hopefully put a smile on someone’s face)

Sittin’ on the floor
Never finishes, she abandons
Never shows a soul
And she’s kind of like a movie
Everyone rushes to see
And no one understands it
Sittin’ in their seats
She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out’s a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She’s achin’ to be
Well she dances alone in nightclubs
Every other day of the week
People look right through her
Baby doll, check your cheek
And she’s kind of like a poet
Who finds it hard to speak
Poems come so slowly
Like the colors down a sheet
She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out’s a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She’s achin’ to be
I’ve been achin’ for a while now, friend
I’ve been achin’ hard for years
Well she’s kind of like an artist
Who uses paints no more
You never show me what you’re doing
Never show a soul
Well, I saw one of your pictures
There was nothin’ that I could see
If no one’s on your canvas
Well, I’m achin’ to be
She closes her mouth to speak and
Closes her eyes to see
Thought about an’ only loved
She’s achin’ to be
Just like me
