UPDATE!!!

Hello all,

I called Newbie last night...and we talked for quite long! Anyway...she is doing better but not quite, maybe at 80%... she has had to deal with quite a lot of things in the past few weeks! She thanks you guys who posted in this thread...she really IS truly GRATEFUL to you all for brightening her mood!

In fact, as I was on the phone with her, I logged on to GC and read to her the posts in this thread...she actually started a little crying actually! And she usually is not as emotional! It truly meant a great deal to her, at a time like this. So on her behalf, I thank you all for responding. She is truly touched by all of this!

Caitlin http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

P.S. She said that she might come back to GC in a few days...and she misses GC!

CAITLIN: I'm SO HAPPY to finally hear some good news about Newbie! What a dear! I'm so happy to know that posting in this thread has made such a big difference. I'm a firm believer that you should always respond to a person who is down, depressed, etc. It's AMAZING how LITTLE you can do to cheer them up! I was just stating the facts...and I'm so glad that you read it to Newbie over the phone--thank you! If you call her again, before she logs on to GC--please tell her that she will alwyas be my Internet Best Friend, b/c she truly is! and I really hope she comes back soon...gee I'm so happy that I would love to throw a Virtual Party for her when she gets back, LOL!!!!!

All I said about Newbie is true!! And for those who are reading this...if you don't know Newbie, it's such a shame! She is funny, smart, extremely sweet and genuine, and just has a sparkling personatliy about her...she's been there for me when I was in the dumps, too!! YOU ARE THE BEST NEWBIE, I hope you can come back soon!!!

LOVE ALWAYS, Mandy http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Newbie just e-m'd me a few minutes ago to say hello! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I told her that we're all thinking about her and miss her terribly on GC. She'll be back as soon as life calms down a bit. Until then, we'll just have to press on without her. (Might be tough -- she's definitely a ray of sunshine around here!) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

carrot 04-25-2001 08:34 PM

I'm so happy to know that newbie is doing better! She is definitely GC's little ray of sunshine...and as I said before, I'm so happy to have had the lucky chance to e-mail with her! I'm not around GC much...but it's just by chance that we saw that we shared some similar interests and started e-mailing!

Theta-cutie, just would like to say...you are so lucky to have such a genuine, smart, beautiful, sweet, funny girl as your best friend! And tell Newbie that I'm dancing to Shaggy right now, LOL, b/c I'm so happy that she is doing better!!! *wink* She'll know what I mean by that! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I really hope that life does calm down for her...it really does seem like it's overwhelming! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

A huge Thank You to everyone who posted here, it truly means a big deal to me!!!!!!

Yes, I am finally back!!! Today I can just chill a bit b/c tomorrow we have a School Fair/Carnival, so no hmwk tonight!!! Yeah! So this afternoon I can chill on GC and get back in sync with the Internet world...Anyway, yes, I have gone through a tough time lately, but I am slowly but surely getting better http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. I thank you all for your e-mails of support, encouragement, and love--you guys truly are the best!!!!!! I just have been going through a lot lately with regards to family loss/problems, school problems, relationship probs...you get the drift...

So anyway, THANKS again to all who have posted here/e-mailed me regarding my absence. It has meant so much to me...Caitlin (Theta-cutie) read to me over the phone some of these posts, and as she said...I literally started tearing up!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif You have truly no idea how much it meant to me to hear all these beautiful, kind words. It really lifted my mood...and made me realize that no matter how bad things get...I will always have my friends (online or off) by my side. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

One good thing happened to me, though, these past few weeks...I went to my Prom, and I had an AMAZING, beautiful time with my boyfriend! Plus, we were crowned King and Queen at the end of the night http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif.

I can't say enough about you all....you guys are truly shining stars! I LOVE YOU ALL, you guys have made me feel so much better about life!

Love, Newbie http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Newbie,

Glad to see you're back on GC again. Sorry to hear about everything you've been going through lately!

Congratulations on being crowned Queen of your prom!! WOW, what an honor. I guess your classmates think as highly of you as we do!

Smile, sweetie!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hey DZRose and Carrot! Thanks for the congratulations on Queen, it was simply wonderful! I had a good time at Prom http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif. I will always remember how magical that night was!! You're right, Carrot, it was great that for one day I was able to just sit back and relax and have fun! DZrose, did you get my last email? I'm really afraid to use the school's computers...sometimes they lose connections in the middle of my sending! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

Makeup: Liquid eyeliner, tinted lotion, sheer blush, plum lipstick, sheer eye shadow. All applied with a sheer hand (you know how much I hate caked-on makeup! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif If I had a choice, everybody would wear sheer makeup...but I love playing with makeup and daring colors nevertheless!!!

Dress: An absolutely GORGEOUS champagne/light gold sleeveless (spaghetti-strapped) long column dress...with an intricate back...and champagne-colored strappy sandals to match!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Awww, Carolyn, I was sitting here in front of my laptop smiling while I read your post! I know that you looked simply stunning Prom Night—even better that you got crowned Queen! Your Highness http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif, I cannot WAIT to receive another e-mail from you—it sounds like you had a simply wonderful, enchanting night! And it couldn’t have happened to a better person, at a better time! I sincerely hope that things will improve greatly for you—you are so due, sweetheart—to have a string of many happy, happy months ahead of you! I know that your family loves you, and your friends and boyfriend loves you—and of course all the GCs love you--so keep on smiling sweetheart, things will definitely improve from here on out!

TigerGrrrl 04-30-2001 02:20 AM

Hey there! I just started this whole GC thing, but it seems as though you are absolutely loved on this thing newbie! I just read the posts about you being crowned queen at prom! Congratulations, by the way, I noticed you are LOVING thetas and chi o's (all for very good reason, many of my friends are in those houses!). But now that you have one crown, why not become a princess and get LOTS more crowns becoming a Zeta! hehe..jk, just thougt it seemed appropriate! By the way if you don't mind me asking do u have any idea what colleges you may want to attend? Nice to meet you (sort of!) by the way! Good luck with whatever you do! BYE BYE! -TigerGrrrl (not to be mistaken for TigerGirl, we have already had some confusion about that! isnt that right TigerGirl? hehe)

newbie 04-30-2001 06:46 PM

Hey Carrot! I really don't know what's up with my e-mail servce http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif I could just write you an email from my other email address, but I wouldn't have anything to reply to?! Thank you for the compliments, it sure was fun to get all dolled up!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hi there TigerGrrl!! You are awesome, too, just like TigerGirl!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif LOL! When you said that you were a Zeta, is that a Zeta Tau Alpha? I unfortunately don't know any Zetas http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif, but you guys seem like really cool people, just from reading all these GC posts! Welcome here, I love it here...I'm sure you're gonna be absolutely addicted just like me! HEHE http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. Yes, I'm interested in Theta, Chi-O, DZ, and AOII, just b/c the girls that I have met in person and online are simply awesome!! I found out a couple of days ago that some of the girls who graduated from my HS went AOII, and from then on, I have also been interested in AOII! I'm only a junior in HS though...I guess I'm way overprepared for this stuff! I've just had lots of influences, from my sister, best friend, and other friends...they love their respective sororities! I REALLY want to go to UCLA or UCSD...maybe USC (although it is very expensive! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif). If I don't make it into those schools, or don't make it into some other UCs, I might just have to go to Junior College first and then transfer http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif. HOPEFULLY I won't have to do that, though!!!!! Hope to talk to you again soon, TigerGrrl!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
