Well since Britt is a Jineddy (Jinny and Teddy) and Morganne is a Jinanybody (Jin and Anybody) I'm a JinMag, now you can figure that one out on your own.

*Me, Britt, and Morganne are self appointed message board bad girls...we rebel against self appointed moderators... You know who you are!*

On April 24, 2008, Kaley and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Email or IM me at DaDanceGirl88@aol.com
And don't forget to visit my homepage, which I have brilliantly titled"Dana Jinny Exsteads Web Profile... At least I think thats the title...

"COME ON! SAY IT WITH ME!" *LOL!*

Teddy: Hey, I'm making you an offer you can't refuse.

Jinny: Look, you know who I am, OK? You know who my family is. Why do you even wanna be with me at all?
Teddy: Because, I love you.

Jinny: Basically, people are who people are. Your born, you die pretty much the same person. All the rest is just window dressing.

Wow...doesn't really seem like it's been that long. FOL was and still is a great show...I think it will be one of those shows that lasts through lots of generations.

Just think of me as a short version of a tall person.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jinny: Oh, come on, folks, please, don't be shy. Apparently anyone is welcome to crap all over me tonight, so please, step right on up!

Notice: If you copy me, I will be forced to send you to the outermost reigons of the pig where you will suffer miserably, for I am Jinny: Queen o' the Pigs and Penguins!
