<p>Or go back to B&N and look on the back of the card.</p>
<p>Northstarmom, the parents posted earlier that they felt weird messaging Myspacers/Xangaers. Since I’m not old 
I sent a Xanga message to that person. I couldn’t send a Myspace message to the Myspace girl.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s Amelie, even though it sounded promising…a LOT of people know of and love that movie, but only 2 people on the entire web have this quote.</p>
<p>“Northstarmom, the parents posted earlier that they felt weird messaging Myspacers/Xangaers.”</p>
<p>I saw that, and I don’t get it. I suppose it’s a sign of some’s old age. (Winking here at TheDad, an old cyberfriend).</p>
<p>Remember, no one knows who you are on Myspace and those blogs anyway. You can choose your own name, age, etc. Much of what’s on those sites is pure fantasy including the pictures of the bloggers.</p>
<p>Yeah, well, some people have issues with fake identities :)</p>
<p>Could it be from a Lord Byron poem?</p>
<p>Definitely not. And if it were from a poem like that, we would have found it on Google.</p>
<p>
I do…especially if those fake identities are used to attack others or “hide” from your behavior. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>!! Busted!!</p>
<p>^^What can I say? I call 'em like I see 'em! :D</p>
<p>I googled just jelly jars and gardenias and found a bookreporter column with a bit of Nora Robert’s “Carolina Moon”. Not the same quote, but it could be her writing.</p>
<p>This has been fun ADad. Just like OldnJersey, I’ve tried some variations and have come up with some very interesting material. The best, “…he had a fondness for raccoons.” (lol) </p>
<p>I’ll be a little sad for the mystery to come to an end, but on the other hand, I’m really hopeful MallomarCookie comes up with the writer’s identity.</p>
<p>Hm, I can’t figure out how to Myspace message the girl (gosh I feel so much like a stalker!). She’s more likely to respond since she logged in most recently.</p>
<p>I admit to having my curiosity piqued AND to having a MySpace account, so I used the little trick I know to message people who have taken the “message me” option off of their profiles and sent missym83 a plea for relief from this distraction!</p>
<p>I too have been enjoying the search, but now I just need to know. :)</p>
<p>Haha, she must be really weirded out. I figured out how to send messages, and I just messaged her too! Lol. She HAS to respond, now 
Come on, missym, “last login” 3/12? Get with the program!!!</p>
<p>Hahah, oops. I guess we’ll see how she reacts. Maybe she’ll just think it’s a coincidence? I didn’t mention I was asking on behalf of a forum full of curious parents. :P</p>
<p>I am ROTFL at the idea that missym will message you guys back to say that… she got it off a greeting card at Barnes and Nobles! :eek:</p>
<p>well if we can add in funniest lines found…</p>
<p>She has a special fondness for the reticulated giraffes <a href=“http://stefaniepowers.tripod.com/id72.html[/url]”>http://stefaniepowers.tripod.com/id72.html</a></p>
<p>By the gardenias, there was the definite sound of laser beams</p>
<p>“You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation,” said Billie Holiday.</p>
<p>We Fall in Love" burst on the airwaves like a gardenia-scented breeze in summer 2002</p>
<p>Who had once called her a
gardenia? Now she was wilting–how many gardenias had she seen
droop, turn brown</p>
<p>I also found a site where, it appears, people continue to write additional bits of Jane Austen stories. I am sad to say I stumbled on one with gardenias and Darcy.</p>
<p>My daughter sent a message to the other girl on Xanga for me…we can see which one responds first! They will probably die of embarrassment when they find out a bunch of parents were stalking their sites… too funny. </p>
<p>Roshke - that would be a really funny outcome !</p>
<p>I’ve already accepted the possibility of total humiliation:
</p>
<p>but the greeting card writer would be the stake through the heart. In for a dime , in for a dollar. I’m invested.</p>
<p>“gardenias plus creamy velvet-like blooms” read like something out of seed catalogs. :)</p>
