Get to know Jamie!
The History of Jamie's Way, as told by Jamie Watts (Spring, 2001)


       Hello!  My name is Jamie Renee Watts.  I was born on August 12th, 1987.  I'm thirteen years old (going on 23- ha ha).  I'm in the 8th grade at The Greenfield School in Baltimore, Maryland.  For more details on my personal stats- CLICK HERE to check out my bio page.

       So you're a new visitor!  Welcome to my world!  This page should help fill you in with our basic plots and history.  If you can't see our digital drama on Media Player or Real Player, then you can read our scripts.   Also, you can read my diary in between episodes.  We update often with new pictures taken as we rehearse or film each episode.

The story goes like this....
 
 

Lauren meets DanielThey fall in love...
LAUREN MARRIES DANIEL






JUNE 25TH, 1985:
Lauren Amanda Lewis (Mom!) marries Daniel Michael Watts (Dad) at the campus church of Guilford University.    It's a small but beautiful wedding.  The couple settles in a corner house a few blocks away from the campus.  Daniel continues to go to college at Guilford, and while working part time.   Lauren works as a waitress down the street at Cafe Pecadillo's, while taking care of herself for...

Lauren and Daniel relax at home.
Mom and Dad at home






SEPTEMBER 9th, 1985:

       Mark Jeffries Watts is born, at exactly noon on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. 

My brother Mark was a very quiet baby.  It seemed he needed no attention at all.  So Dad continued to go to school by day, and work by night.  And Mom continued working part time as a waitress. 
And life seemed simple! 

Mark Watts has always been independent.
Mark, my older brother (older?  Just in age!)






AUGUST 12TH, 1987

       And then I am born!!  Jamie Renee Watts- born at 9:35pm at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. 

Jamie's the trouble maker between the two of them- always pushing to get her way!
The first picture of me ever on the web!

Evidently the day I was brought home- Grandma and Mark had decorated the house with tons of balloons, and baby decorations.  When Mom and Dad brought me to the front door, Grandma and Mark greeted us.  But Mark stepped on one of the balloons, and it popped- causing me to scream for over an hour!  Mark was so punished that day.  He must have hated me!  But he only laughs about it now.  :)
 

DECEMBER 1ST, 1987
Lauren (Mom) opens her dress shop- Jamie's Closet,  a Boutique.  It's in Fells Point, a section in Baltimore with lots of little shops and restaurants.  It was named after me!  No wonder I love FASHION so much!!

NOVEMBER 25TH, 1997
Very sad day :(  Mom and Dad separate.  Dad actually moves out that day. 

Up until that day they had been arguing so much.  And I'll never forget the moment my dad left.  Up until then- the house was always so noisy.   Between my brother and I chasing each other around, and competing for toys, and Mom and Dad either arguing or making up, our house always seemed so busy.  So full of love.  Now all of a sudden it was quiet.  So still that for the rest of the week we didn't know what to do.  We felt like visitors- like guests in our own home...
 

AUGUST 21TH, 1998EPISODE ONE: THE KING OF YANG
(CLICK HERE TO READ THE SCRIPT)

The divorce is final.  Mom receives the divorce papers from Dad. :(

The King of Yang, the first episode of Jamie's Way.

This was really sad, because I had hoped they'd get back together.   I chatted with the King of Yang about this, and he made me feel a little bit better.  He pointed out that because of my parents separation- I met Toby Jones, and now share a carpool with him a few days a week.  So I felt a little bit better.  But not much- I'd prefer having my Dad back at home with us.

I've been trying to figure out who the King of Yang is.  I thought it was Freddie, but then he told me he had a "TRS-80".    I had just turned 11 years old this month.  I felt so old.  But as I look at these pics- I am such a baby!!
 
 

DECEMBER 12TH, 2000  -  EPISODE TWO: THE AUTOGRAPH
CLICK HERE TO READ THE SCRIPT

Aunt Emmie comes to visit for the weekend with little Zachary. 

I hadn't seen little Zack in so long!  It was so great seeing them!  Aunt Emmie gave me some advice about Toby that got me in hot water with Samantha Jenkins- the "queen" of our school (or more like "Tyrant").  She's given me trouble ever since.  But I can handle it- I'm the "Queen of Yin" (at AOL at least!)

The Autograph, the 2nd episode of Jamie's Way

MARCH 25TH, 2001  -  EPISODE THREE: TYLER'S WAY
CLICK HERE TO READ THE SCRIPT

The Spring Fling is around the corner- our big school dance.  Everyone is concerned about who they are going to take.  Tyler Hanson, our school prankster tells Max Sweeney to play hard to get with April Karlow, my best friend, and not ask her to the dance.  She gets all confused, because she was hoping to go with Max.  I find out and confront Tyler.   I also attempt to ask Toby to the dance (I finally have enough courage!) but Samantha gets in the way- once again. :( 

Tyler's Way, the third episode of Jamie's Way






MARCH 31TH, 2001- THE MY HAIR TURNED GREEN

This is the day my Aunt Vicki saved me from being forever punished! 

It was the weekend Mom went away, and Aunt Vicki and Freddie hired Dennis, and Laurie to paint the outside of our house!  You should see it!  It's so pretty!  Anyway... so Mom had two BIG surprises waiting for her...


Our house is now considered a "Painted Lady"

While Aunt Vicki and Freddie were supervising the painting of our house, Kristie and Lonnie, my two neighborhood friends were over.  I wanted to lighten my hair.  But I was doing it slowly- shade by shade.  Up until this time, Mom didn't seem to notice.   I think this "hair color" obsession runs in the family.  She had darkened her hair right after the divorce.  And recently, she started lightening it again.   Aunt Vickie has dyed her hair all colors of the rainbow.  And Aunt Emmie always seems to have new colors in her hair every time I see her.  I was just going to be subtle with mine. 


Mom is going to be soooo surprised!!!








Then one Saturday-  I shampooed my hair with some stuff Lonnie's mom uses.  Lonnie told me it seemed to lighten her mom's hair just a touch, and always made it look pretty.  So I used it- but it made my hair turn GREEN!!!  Aunt Vicki heard us scream, and came running upstairs!  Luckily, her friend, Mary was the manager of Cheryl's Salon in Baltimore.  So Aunt Vicki rushed me to Cheryl's Salon, and they took care of the green.  Now I have a really cool new look! 

Jamie and lauren are twins!!

Mom was upset about my new color, and let me keep it for two weeks. 






APRIL 14TH, 2001 - EPISODE 4: THE SPRING FLING

       I had it darkened the same day as the Spring Fling, and had a BLAST as a brunette that night!!  Wow!  What a night!  At first it was just so boring, but then it got GREAT!!  What a dance partner!!!
