's message, "Im goin out" on 15:55:32 04/20/01 Fri
Hey ! Not to make you jealous but im going out with
Simon.
"Not to make you jealous but im going out with Simon," is not a proper sentence, young naive Bridget. This sentence is fragmented. It should be: "I'm not trying to make you jealous but I'm going out with Simon."
So please stop drooling all over him cause hes
taken . Hes taken bye me ! bye!
Where do we begin? "So please stop drooling all over him cause hes taken," should have been written as "Please stop drooling all over him 'cause he's taken." You've missed some strategic grammatical apostrophes.
"Hes taken bye me! bye!" This statement should have read: "He's taken by me! Bye!" You've used the wrong kind of "by." If you want to use more than one "bye," save it for an NSYNC fan forum.
I write this message not to strike fear into the people who write in this forum to write better English. I write this to poke fun at a person who is obviously dillusional in thinking that she's going out with Simon. Puh-lease!
A while back, I e-mailed the webmaster of this site asking if Simon was seeing anyone and the webmaster said that he was going on 5 years with his childhood sweetheart Karine. Hmmm....unless Karine changed her name to Bridget and lost all her dignity, I'm pretty sure this message isn't from Simon's valid girlfriend (But I'm pretty sure you guys/gals already knew that).
So, in closing, to the author "Bridget," this is a site for fans, not obscessive-complusive psychos. While yes, it is true that Simon is rather attractive, please don't make it a habit of marring a great site like this with crap like your last message. At least the girls on this site not only show great interest in the Flyers and think he's "hot," but they also show some respect for others by not posting stupid messages such as yours. Now, with that in mind, onwards to the next message board
