[UPDATE] new e-mail from Margaret <ladybee777@hotmail.com

recieved this email in my gmail account....i sent her an email a while back and this is the first response I have recieved....

Quote:
The History of Dana

by

The Sleeping Princess



It is the object of this to present The news



Chapter I. The Sleeping Princess friendless and alone



The Sleeping Princess friendless and alone



the queen wishes

The Sleeping Princess

sealed into an airtight container

hiding from the queen

Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere

Stormy weather, just can't get my poor old self together



The Widow

the blues walked in and met me

The Widow will get me

the sleeping princess are in hiding

One must be so careful these days.



the "pious flea" and "sleeping princess" (?)

MARK but this flea, and mark in this

don't like it

I can't help it

a proper fool

a bad banana

unimaginable filth and stench; and disease

he can't write his name or read a book



I read, much of the night



Chapter II. Dana friendless and alone



Dana a friend/good guy.

Dana is not an artificial being. nor is she a program. She is human. She is flesh and blood.



Dana

You're as cuddly as the cat

You're as charming as the butterfly

the favorite of the plebeian masses

Being the friend



you and I together allies, and if the queen pleased thrown into a condition of extreme danger

"Of course I will stick.

I'll stick by you

though thin and though thick!"

best friend

This one means you're happy: Smile



Chapter IV



The Sleeping Princess passed through a great variety of scenes, and met with many extraordinary adventures and narrow escapes, which, however, can not be here particularly detailed.

I found

a secret was revealed

I should not be able to make any one understand how exciting it all was.

I brought it home and hid it in a secret place



Chapter V need help right quick, on the double



when I feel

That I shall never look upon thee more

Her name is Dana.

the house is so sad and lonesome



Dana

being persuaded to

come back

to talk

to me



Well, I will tell you

that secret

I found



maybe you can help me (?)



T-U-R-T-L-E Power! T-U-R-T-L-E Power! T-U-R-T-L-E Power! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Power!



love

See also: General/Updates section.

It's already being discussed, although this is where it belongs.

Ok, so we all got this email, and the one thing that confuses me is the part about the flea... we're to MARK it... we're to notice that the flea can't read, but it almost sounds like the flea is not a friend to the princess, right?

Note that "just can't get my poor old self together" is a line from the song "Stormy Weather".

"Though thin and though thick" (misspelt?) is from "Horton Hears A Who?"

There seems to be a lot of cultural references here.

And note there's no Chapter III?

Yeah, I've sent about four things to that address. Maybe you need to send a few things.

Another reference:

"One must be so careful these days" could be from TS Eliot's "The Wasteland"?

OK.. Nothing amazing, but interesting: There's no chapter III, but there's also no recipe 3 page (it's secret, that is...) But, there's nothing new there, just interesting...

Also, we got mailed cuz we all mailed the ladybee777SPLAThotmail.com account to try to communicate with the princess...

Is this right? Anyone get contacted who did NOT email that account ????(scary thought)....

I sent two e-mails in the past week or so. No word yet.

Though this (apparently) confirms the entity at Ladybee777@hotmail as The Sleeping Princess. Who's hiding in some fashion from the Queen.
