She really wanted to go to the dance with him, but there's this cultural problem - her parents insist that she sticks to the traditions of her culture. Chaz is a bit confused about this - he can't seem to interpret the mixed message he received from Becca, especially because he can see that she is genuinely interested in him. Even wants him to read a book that she is interested in. It's about girls growing up - called "Reviving Ophelia", and Chaz likes the sound of the book... Dee is a bit confused also - the death of her Grandmother has raised some strange ideas in Dee's mind, mainly to do with the meaning of life - and death. Miguel has been a great help. He told her about the Festival of the Dead that they have in Mexico, where people celebrate the lives of ancestors. Miguel has been a great help - and he asked her out! Miguel is happy about Dee accepting the offer, but now he has a problem- where to get some money and where to go. Becca, Chaz, Dee and Miguel would really value your input. Read their journals at: /theinsite/gallery/the_story/the_story_alias.html and let them know what you think about the way their lives are going. *~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* ************************************************************************* Conference Updates ************************************************************************* *Put these in your Diary!* *Put these in your Diary!* These are the conferences that you will find on #TheInSite this month Monday (beginning December 1) 11.30am-1.30pm - EuroTeen Chat 3.00-4.00pm - The InSite.

We know polluting factories do more damage to the environment than kids tossing soda cans out car windows. But Hey! We're not talking to factory owners, we're talking to you! There are plenty of ways you can help the Earth, 'cause that's what it really comes down to. And one person can make a difference. Check out TheInSite's great environmental site Spaceship Earth at: /theinsite/earth/earth.html ************************************************************************* Biographies - Your Hosts ************************************************************************* Hi, there! My name is Chezza, and I am Forum Manager for The InSite. Four years ago, I got my very first modem. It was love at first beep! My on-line career began on the dearly departed eWorld, where I worked as Forum Co-Coordinator for the Transformations forum and hosted in GirlsOnline. I also worked for Apple Computer on a commercial on-line service, answering questions and hosting chats for educators. The very first day that Talk City started, I was there to participate in this wonderful venture. I became LyriCCC and then helped to launch The InSite chat program in June of 1997. It's my great pleasure to be associated with the incredible TEAM that hosts in our forum. Our forum is here to serve *you,* our participants. We welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions. Write to me at this address:

Match wits against Talk City's quickest minds, and see if you can be the weekly champion.
