Simple, sensitive, loyalJenny 1) I'm outgoing 2) I'm funny 3) My positive attitude Jim Dear Alanis, Hmm, three things I really like about myself. Right now, I have to say that I like my 10 extra pounds. Less than two months ago I gave birth to my first child, a baby boy named Clayton. When I see those ten extra pounds on the scale, it makes me smile and think of him. Secondly, I like the fact that I am a good cook. I love to cook for my husband so that he can know that he is coming home to something tasty and healthy to take a little stress off of his mind from a day at work. And third, I really like my profession (when I am out in the work world and not at home with my son). I am a dietitian, and I love to help people to understand food and nutrition. I try to help them help themselves so that they can have a happier and healthier future! Thanks so much for how happy your music makes me. I have been listening since middle school (a long time ago!), and it definitely helps me keep my sanity at times! Keep it up! Your long-term Fan, Autumn

I took the inside part of oreos out and replaced it with toothpaste. Paul Dear Alanis, I played a April Fools joke on my mother this year. I always joke how she should always look before she sits on the toliet. So to teach her a lesson, I put shaving cream on the toliet seat. A couple minutes my mom went into the bathroom and sat in the shaving cream. She didn't laugh too much, but I sure did:) Love you Alanis :) Steph W. Well a few years ago when i was about 7 or 8, My mum, my dad and I were listening to our local radio station. The radio station told us that there was going to be a full size replica of the Titanic sailing past our town. We were all so excited, so got the video camera at the ready, got dressed and got in the car. We drove all the way to the seafront, and stood on the promenade waiting for this Titanic to sail by. There were quite a few people down there also waiting to see this ship. My dad then realized it was April the 1st, We couldn't stop laughing. We got back in the car, and as we were driving home the radio station said "April Fool's". It has to be one of the best April Fool's, to fool so many people. Lily Beresford, UK
If I could wake up anywhere, I'd wake up in my house on a day off with my wife and 11 month old daughter. I can't think of anythng better anywhere. Michael Layne It's going to be eight months since I left my country and I want to be back so badly. I am a scientist. I came to the United States pursuing a PhD in Pharmacology. I'm happy here, but I came with one foot in my country, because I want to do good things back there. I feel I have been given so much and I need to find the way to pay back, to honor these chances I've earned with much sacrifice, but also with passion and love for what I do. I am from Chile, and a terrible earthquake broke my country apart less than one month ago. My country, my people, my family, my mother need me and I am eight thousand miles away. Tomorrow I want to wake up at home. Patricio Mujica Dear Alanis, I would like to wake up in a place of reasonable health. I have had chronic health problems most of my life. Where ever I go it comes with me. Never take your health for granted. On the rare occasions when I am feeling well it is total and complete bliss! Love you! Allan LaCroix
Dear Miss Morissette, I am eleven and my most relaxing experience was learning to swim. You'd think it would be panic. But it felt nice. Jesi Rojo
A ma soeur! (2001) The film's original French title is "Ah, my sister" but for reasons I'm still unclear, it was translated to "Fat Girl" for English speaking audiences. It's savage, gentle, honest, and startling: about the awkward and horrific pre-teen years coded in what is "suppose to be." The ideal body image. The sex you should have had already. It also touches on jealousy and family rivalry. I saw it as a young film student, a 21yr old self-conscious virgin. Preoccupied with the "suppose to be" myself, I found the movie incredibly powerful. Also, at that time I wanted to be be a filmmaker so I was inspired that there was a place in the world for this film, made by a woman. A very strong woman. The ideas and struggles given a voice, and the heartache shared. My dear friends and I, who saw it together, spent the next three and half hours in a local coffee shop talking about the film . . . which is longer than if we had just bought tickets to the next show and had seen it again. It brought us together on an intimate level that I don't know any other film has been able to do since. happy watching, love, Bev Hi Alanis, This movie is probably not so unfamiliar in some parts of the world, but the movie I really enjoyed is Totoro, aka My neighbour Totoro. It is a lovely little cartoon about a young girl who meets Totoro, a treegod, only to be seen by people who believe in him. Totoro is absolutely funny, he doesn't talk, just appears and does his things and leaves. Totoro has a great belly to sleep on, and helps you grow your plants. The rest you should just see for yourself...I believe you would enjoy it very much! Namaste, Tamara (the Netherlands)
Miss Morissette, I grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada, in an area filled with maple trees and blueberry fields. As a result, blueberry pancakes were a regular breakfast with my family. Pancakes probably don't seem all that special an item to most people, but to me it speaks of Home, wherever I am. The recipe is wonderfully simple: Mix together, in a large bowl: 2 eggs 1/4 cup of white sugar 2 cups of flour 2 tea spoons of baking powder 1/2 tea spoon of salt 1/2 tea spoon of baking soda 1/2 cup of blueberries Add milk until the mixture is smooth. Then cook the batter in a frying pan with a tiny amount of butter/margarine until it's lightly brown on both sides. Thank you for reading and for giving such wonderful music to the world, Jesse Smith They're called Love Cookies. Really they're just the milk chocolate chip cookie recipe from the back of the chipits bag, but I've adopted the recipe and raised it with love and care and it has grown to be more than it ever was expected to be. I started making them in highschool for study groups after school, then I brought the recipe to university to my dorm, where I made them for the half-starved girls in my residence at meetings... I bake them for boyfriends, old friends, new friends, roomates, everyone who needs a hug in food form. I add some chai spices to make them more cozy tasting.. if that makes any sense.. and serve them with warm milk boiled with honey and vanilla. They are always soft and warm ( or gooey and scalding if you are my boyfriend who eats them straight off the sheet.. I love him for his heart not his head haha)... and they always make whoever eats them feel safe and happy and full of love. There's just something about home made cookies straight from the oven that makes everything seem better :) Sometimes I add pecans, or walnuts, or if I'm feeling like some sugar-suicide, I add white chocolate chips or caramels into the mix. Cookies, milk, and a friend. What more could you ask for in life? -Jenn
Hi Alanis! I definitely remember the last time I laughed until I cried! It was when I was visiting one of my closest friends at the end of October. We were on a mission to go to the local apple orchard and while walking to the car my friend kept repeating the word "apple" in a silly slow-mo accent. I of course started laughing at her. I guess her neighbors thought we were being really loud and stupid because all of a sudden we heard this sarcastic "HEE HEE HEE" from their open window. This of course only made us bust out laughing even harder! Looking back, it seems like that wasn't the only really silly thing that we laughed at during my visit. We always have such great whole-hearted laughs together! The neighbors probably didn't get any peace and quiet 'til I went home! Keep Laughing, Lara : ) Hey Alanis! The last time I laughed with tears was about two months ago. I'm a high school reading teacher. In class, we were reading a book about Phineas Gage while playing the audio. While we are listening to the author read the book and following, the way he read the book made the students giggle... high school kids and "gutter" minds. Well, once they were in that mind state, they students could not stop. I held in the laughter as long as I could, but then I burst into a huge laugh trying to hide it from the students. I laughed so hard because of what was being said in the book and I understood why the kids were laughing. It sounded very "dirty". I stopped the audio and we tried to pull it together. I even made a deal about not laughing... but that didn't help. We started the audio and once again the whole class, including me, were rolling around on the floor laughing with tears in our eyes. It was one of the best ice breakers for a new year at high school with freshmen. -Michelle Digman, 28 Pinellas Park, FL The last time I laughed until I cried... I was sleeping at my friend Shontelle's house and got a cramp in my calf in the middle of the night. It hurt so much I cried out in pain and woke her up. Shontelle asked me if there was anything she could do to help the cramp go away. I told her that the cramp was a result of not enough salt and that I really needed some salt to make it better. She ran upstairs to the kitchen and then came back down with a salt shaker. She began to shake the salt onto my leg thinking that this is what I meant. I started laughing so hard that the pain in my stomach made me forget about the cramp. Once I had calmed down about 20 minutes later I explained to her that the salt needed to be ingested and that merely sprinkling it on my cramp would not work. It was so funny and a moment that I we will remember for a long time to come. Emma Anglesey
When I would come inside from playing my mom would stand behind me and we would look in the mirror together at what started the day as a white "Winnie the Pooh" shirt. It would always be filthy (dirt, grass, Popsicle, and food stains included). My mom would say she could tell I had a great day because my shirt was so dirty from playing outside. We would talk about the events of the day, stain by stain, while waiting on a bathtub full of water for a deep bubble bath for me. She was a wonderful mother and was my very best friend. Even today, when I have been outside enjoying yard work on a beautiful day I will look at the front of my dirty shirt, smile and think to myself "today was a great day". Hope you have some wonderful memories too! Keep them close to your heart. God bless. Lori - Birmingham, AL My favorite child memory is when I came out to my parents and they were so amazingly supportive. They took me to my first Pride Parade in San Francisco. So much love and support. Thanks for that great question, brightened my morning! -Joey S. Best childhood memory! Yay! I am blessed to have had such a wonderful childhood. There are so many special memories. I suppose my favorite involves a snowy winters day and a warm kitchen... My mother wasn't exactly Betty Crocker, but every now and then she would bake fresh bread, sticky buns after church, or, as in this case, an apple or pumpkin pie. The aroma of the cooking pie made the kitchen smell like thanksgiving.. releasing familiar associations of laughing friends and family members and way too much good food. On thic particular day, we were all home, safe and happy.. It was snowing lightly outside. The window in the kitchen near the back door had frosted at the bottom of the panes and I was standing in front of it sipping a cup of hot chocolate. The dog lay behind me snoozing contentedly at the foot of the fridge. To my right there were two pipes scalding hot with steam for the upstairs radiators. I recall how my feet were warm though I was only wearing socks on the kitchen linoleum flooring.. and how the coolness of the outside winter chill could be felt as I sipped the cocoa close to the frosted window, smelled the backing pie, and watched the snow fall onto our backyard. I recall this memory vividly as it was one of the first times this very self-centered young teenage boy utilized an opportunity to reflect on my good fortune and what a wonderful life my parents had created for us. I remember thinking..."This moment is so beautiful... our family is all together... the backyard snowscape.. frosty window next to hot hot pipes... the taste of the cocoa.. the smell of the baking pie.. I'm really very fortunate. This is important to me and I don't ever want to forget this moment." It's been a long time since I remembered that memory. Thanks for the opportunity. wayne I love my father, and my favorite memory is very simple - when I was little he'd ask me to guess a number between, for example, 1 and 268,950... I'd guess 116,723, and he'd tell me, "Ohhh you were THIS close. It was 116,724." And I would be shocked, believe him up and down, and promise that next time I'd get the number right. I still don't think I've ever won that game. Nora
Dear Alanis, What do I feel deeply grateful for?... Well im 16 and sadly im stuck in a homeless unit in Scotland, yet, still im grateful for the great support from the staff at the project where i live. My support worker is fab, and has encouraged me to stay on at school. Im greatful for the people who care what happens to me, and haven't given up on me. I actually gave ten quid to a guy out on the street who looked really really bad, who was also in my situation. (you should have seen his face, lit up like a Christmas tree :D) Your music has helped inspire me to stay on at school and get somewhere in life. thanks for reading. Amanda, Lanark, Scotland. I feel deeply grateful that my wife survived her surgery and the pathology report came back negative for cancer. Paul Dear Alanis, I visited my Grandmother in the South Island this month. I am so inspired by her courage in addressing the violence in her past; done to her, and by her. Her rejection of resentments, her integrity and no-nonsense love-of-life really bowls me over. I'm so amazingly grateful that I know her. Naku noa, na Kerry (Wellington, Aotearoa)
Dear Alanis! This month I plan to change my live fundamentally. I will move to my first flat on my own and fend for myself the first time in my life with my first real job. I also try to get over the first big love in my life. This time is so exciting and scary at the same time. I learned that it's not destiny that changes live. It only depends on our own efforts and our own attitude. Best regards Chris from Berlin Hi, So you asked for something new that we have plans to try, well I have a big one. Seven years ago, at the age of 27, I made the decision to join the Marine Corps. I have been stationed stateside my whole time in, but have recently received orders to Okinawa, Japan. Chances are good I will be deployed by year end. Emotions run mixed from sense of duty to personal beliefs; however, I will be right there with the number of Americans doing what they do to keep our nation rolling! Regardless of the stories I may come home with, I would not change my decision for anything in this world. Thanks for helping me put things in perspective on so many occasions, and I wish you continued success in your life. Jim Hi Alanis, I want to get my comics published. I've been a coward so far, time for me to take the next step up and give it a shot. I will contact publishers. With love from Ireland, John Barre I do plan on doing something small that I have never tried before. Thing is that I used to be homeless after getting evicted from my apt here in the city after a bad spat of getting hooked on Crystal Meth. It took years but I am totally clean now, and doing great. But, I was staying at an LGBT Homeless Youth Shelter in the city and they really really helped me a lot. Got me to rehab and got me on my feet and now it's gone full circle and I've started volunteering at the very place that help ME so much. It's a huge victory for me to be able to go back and help, and I just thought I'd pass it along. My bestest friend Mikol LOVES you too. He told me to put that in. Lots of love, Benji Rutledge from NYC The new thing that i wil try to do scine now is to say the truth (that always i can i say it) and be more sentimental, because i am very racional. Jazmín,Argentina
Hi Alanis I have a few favorite authors but my absolute favorite is Maya Angelou. I really love her writing and she resonates truth through her words. Her writing is a collection of life experiences and it gives me an opportunity to imagine what her life had been like. She inspires me to write, to sing and to live (and to not take myself so seriously)! We can become great (whatever we perceive greatness to be) irrespective of our past failures, of our upbringing, of the people we had loved and not loved us back. Maya, through her writing has taught me this. I have a few favorite quotes that I keep on my mirror to remind myself every day "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." "I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass." "My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself." "We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated." "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain." From Candice (south Africa) I am a 32 year-old stay-at-home mom and J.K. Rowling is, by far, my favorite author. Her books are so full of imagery and detail that you simply get lost in the world she has created. Although her series was originally geared towards children, her themes are timeless. Love. the bonds of friendship. and most importantly, doing the right thing even when the right thing is the hardest thing to do. Those are lessons I can teach my children. Those are lessons we all can learn from each day of our lives. ~ Carmen, mother of four from Iowa My favorite author has to be Paulo Coelho. His books are written in a universal language that never fails to speak to my soul. Each novel tells a tale of the spirit and shows us how all of our incredible journeys on this plane are connected and important. Whether it is the voyages of the shepard in The Alchemist or the magic of a young rhythm dancer in The Witch of Portobello, I can always identify a fragment of my self in each story and dare to dream of a place where every person if free to follow their personal legend. Laura My all time absolute no-question favorite author is C.S. Lewis. As a very young child, the Chronicles of Narnia was read to me until I could read myself when I thereafter read and re-read the series close to a dozen times. I looked in my closet, in the house attic, and so many nooks and crannies hoping to find a magical doorway to Narnia. I knew my window of time was short in that as a "grown up" my chances grew slim because my imagination would grow stale and less prone to the magical pull of Narnia. Now a grown-up, I still have my green kite with a golden lion that reminded me so much of Aslan hanging in my son's room, but suspect that the doorways have been closed to me. C.S. Lewis was the first to open my eyes to the beautiful spiritual aspect of all in our world - animals, trees, water - for things seen and unseen. His adventures and characters captured the human struggle with itself as well as the promise of the great battle to come that is fought every day and has already been won by perfect love. I still love to listen to the trees dance at night in the moonlight and would love to find trees where the back of my closet should be. Until that happens, I will treasure passing on the magic, charm, and insights within C.S. Lewis' works to my boys. Thanks again for your music and for all your work that goes into sharing yourself, your sage insights, and your life experience with those who would listen. Christian Young
The most thoughtful gift? A piece of sky. Yes, I bought a star in a constellation somewhere in the sky and I gave it the name of my dearest friend. My symbolic gift has been my way to make my friend understand that she is a part of me and of my universe. Roberta, Italy It wasn't an expensive gift. When I was working at Rite Aid, the assistant manager used a specific type of hair conditioner. She didn't like anything else. After months of ordering it as the store, and it never coming, she believed that they must have discontinued her mousse. Anyway, she was being transferred to another store and I wanted to get her something because she was a great manager. I checked the company's web site and I found the mousse. I ordered three large bottle and had them rushed. Her last day I surprised her with the mousse and she gave me a big hug. She said that no one ever went out of their way for her like that and I was glad that she enjoyed her going away present. Mike Russo Well, the most thoughtful gift i ever gave was to my mother on mothers day about 2 years ago, she was in the hospital, and since it was hard for me to afford something very extravagant i made a huge card that said something like "you are my mother, and i want you to know that you are everything to me, no matter what happens we will always be together". it was the best thing i had ever made for my mother and i will always remember it.-- Catlyn Ruth Ramsden
Well... My family is having a difficult time, money is short and my grandfather, who has just turned 87 last month, wanted a new perfume, and it was waaay expensive! Then I took all the money I was saving for a new video-game and bought it for him, but I didn't tell him what I was going to do with the money, 'cause he would be sad if he knew about it. Alexandre Lopes Sao Paulo, Brasil I saw an elderly man digging through a dumpster and pulled over to hand him a few bucks. By the time I reached him, a voice in my head was yelling GIVE HIM 100 DOLLARS! Without hesitation I handed him the money and he proceeded to tell me that that was what he needed to buy his wifes medicine. He had tears in his eyes and I had them in mine as well as I drove away. Makes me marvel at the force that guides us to the be exactly at the right place at the right time! LUVIN LANI! JEFF IN MID GA. When I was more younger than now, I know to wrote so good. I wrote histories, adventures, letters..... One day, my bestfriend Michael told me he was in love with the same girl than I!!!!!!!! He didn�t know that. And he asked me to write to him a love letter with very much feeling in order that he could deliver it to her. For me it was so easy because I wrote what really feel. For a long time she was his girlfiend and now, both are married, and I never told to anybody the truth about the letter. Best regards, Javier

Dear Alanis, My best first kiss story is a story that changed my life, and remains painted in my heart 8 years later. I was a 14 year old girl, hanging out with her favorite girlfriend's family on new year's eve. We were alone and I still don't know how it happened but I found myself kissing my best friend and felt like I have never felt kissing anyone before. Growing up in a country where homosexuality is not tolerated,and where we grow up thinking that heterosexual love is the only love that exists, I knew that this spontaneous kiss was the most sincere expression of love I have ever made, and that feeling helped me through the battle I fought to accept my homosexuality. Thank you for letting me share this with you Yours Faithfully, Ran-Lebanon A few years back some buds of mine were partying in Welland,and we ended up at this small ramshackle bar at the outskirts of town.Spotting a striking blonde behind the counter I went up to her,leaned forward and kissed her saying,"Now water for my horses and whiskey for my men."The next thing I knew some big burly guy tapped me on my shoulder and when I turned around he punched me clear of the exit.I left a little bloodied, but it was sure worth it as she would'nt have put the first move on me. Jade I kissed a girl and I liked it. I kissed a boy and I liked it. I kissed my friends and family and I liked it. I kissed my pets and I liked it. I kissed the pavement and I liked it. I kiss ass everyday and I don't mind it. I can't remember my best first kiss because I've never been kissed the way I want to be kissed. So until then, I'll keep kissing myself. xoxo Chris2fer

How can I grow from the speck that I am? A seedling, more than roots hold me down, Unforgiving winter and harsh fall's dam, The sun beckons but I merely frown; The concrete is too thick, heavy, complex, However the air is light, sweet, and free, I then realize we are all but specks, Able to grow and ignore the debris, I emerge - take in deep gulps of air, Spread my limbs, and as I peer far below, I remember my questioning prayer, Deep within me was the power to grow, And so I reach towards the stars by seeing, I can embrace the lightness of being. Juliette Nesora i have been wanting lately more than i have ever wanted anything to be my own age twenty six years old and at the same time i want to find an adult to tuck me in say goodnight and not wake me until my 42nd birthday as if the next sixteen years will be too much this growth is terrifying i remember it at age nineteen the sick need to crawl under give up and stay young but i grew then somehow older and beautifully wiser -Emily
I try to eat when I'm hungry, ...but sometimes I hunger for hours. I try to sleep when I'm tired... ...but sometimes I get no rest. I try to see beauty... but somtimes I stare at streets of the same shit. I run and jump when I'm excited... but sometimes I'm depressed. I LOVE when I can Eat (mmmm)and Sleep (zzzzz) and Jump ^^^ and Run >>> and Feel Beauty ( ((0)) ) ...and WOW! how I love to share all that when I LOVE who I am with : D Arnon Tel Aviv, Israel
Dear Alanis, If the question is, do you have ONE mentor, then I would have to say: no. There are several people in my life who I'd consider mentors. In fact, life itself is like a mentor. Although I'm only 26, I have some serious challenges in my life and I am greatful for that. Life itself has taught me so much and revealed many possibilities, lessons and answers. There have always been people there guiding me with advice and love. The most important people are my mom and dad. They've taught me so much and so well. I am proud of who they are and of them raising 3 beautiful children. I feel blessed by having such loving and caring parents. I know they're not perfect, but they're doing their best and I commend them for that. One of the most important things I learned from them is to always be open to others and to different sides of a story. This is such a valuable lesson from which I benefit every single day. Thank you for asking this question and making me once again reflect and be aware of all that's precious! Bart 26 The Netherlands I would have to say that my mentor is music. It sounds silly, however my life is hugely influenced by music. Music can bring out and change my emotions. Music influences me in many ways and I guess I have the many artist I admire including Alanis for this. A world without music would not be a world for me and I guess I would be lost without it. - Alfred Dear Alanis, Not having the healthiest parents a kid could ask for growing up I spent most of my formative years with my grandmother. She was a strong willed woman, veteran of the Lockheed airplane plant during WW2, independent, protective (not too so) and fearless. She was the only one of my relatives that remains non-judgmental, loves for loves sake, and consistently lives in the moment. I've always looked at things that come in my life through her eyes and think what would grandma do? She was mechanical, artistic, encouraging and a great teacher. I miss her very much. Best regards, Larry Birkholz
Dear Alanis/Alanis's drawing hat, When I was 5 I distinctly remember wanting to be a 12 year-old. I'm sure I might have also had the ubiquitous police officer, etc. dream but I had a family member in the hospital and you had to be 12 to visit. I remember imagining that the world must just open up for you at 12! (haha) I made it past my short term goal intact, though the sky didn't open as I thought it might. Lesson learned! Thanks much! Randy When I was 5, I wanted to be a private detective -- specifically, one of Charlie's Angels. I ran around holding my fingers like a gun and pretended to take photos of my dad's business papers in the garage. I still want to be one of Charlie's Angels. And I still run around holding my fingers like a gun. - Patresa Hi Alanis, This Adam and when I was 5 it was 1997 and during that time the Spice Girls were ruling the world and I was always fascinated at all 5 girls and so when I was 5 I really wanted to be "The Spice Boy" I know it sounds really sad and weird but I was 5 and basically thought that everything was just tons of colour with voices. Anyway that's what I wanted to be A Spice Boy or A Plummer for some reason (can't remember why) One of your many fans Adam Walpole | |
