Nicole posted this at 9:54 PM.Friends! It has been quite some time since I have posted on this lonely blog but I must put a tribute out to Lindsey Anne Fulgham. I am so very sad that she is leaving tomorrow because she has taught me so much this summer. She has not had any walls up and has been so open with all us girls. She treats us like we are her friends, her equals, when we are really in high school and don't have nearly as much maturity or insight as she. She has attempted to include everyone this summer and has helped make the youth group more unified by being dedicated to pray for us all so much. Some of y'all don't understand how much she has sacrificed for us. I'm not saying she is superwoman or that she's the best Christian ever but she has let God use her this summer even when she was discouraged and thought that she was making no impact. She loves us so much and is really distraught about leaving. So if you get the chance today, let her know how much she has meant to you and how much your appreciate her b/c you can never encouage someone too much. I hope that God blesses her immensely this year and I know that I, for one, will miss her. I love you Lindsey! :)

Nicole posted this at 4:17 PM.I'm sick of working...I work so much in the week and I never get to hang out or chill like I want to. I'm glad for the money but it's not like I really get to spend it. It just goes to the bank fo college. What is the point, my friends? I'm lucky to have a job and I thank God for that but I'm sad that I will be gone for three weeks and when I get back, the interns will only be here for one week more. Oh well, good things don't last forever. I must be off to work now! :) Have a wonderful day, Nicole <>< (Go see Legally Blonde 2, it is hilarious!)

Nicole posted this at 11:36 AM.Happy 4th of July! :) Today was awesome...spent like 5 or so hours at the pool (definitely a record, for me). Skye came and Ali came to say hi and then Skye came back and "chilled" with me. Then I went to fireworks at Regency and I must say that that was the best show ever, possibly. Plus, I got ashes in my hair and that added a nice, weird effect. I loved it. I would just like to say that I'm having so much fun this summer and God is teaching me a whole lot and I love it! Every day I learn something more about him and you have no idea how fulfilling and awesome that is! I feel like I'm growing so much and it just really satisfies me. Well that's about all, folks. Love you guys and I'm prayin for y'all. Shout out to Depot who might be the only one still reading this :) ~Nicole <><~ nkeegan@nc.rr.com

Today was a beautiful day, no? We went to CWR to visit my sister and it was soo great. I loved being outside in the sun and swimming in the lake. Sheesh, I could live at that camp. I can not wait to go there. :) It's gonna rock my face WAY off. I'm so glad it's summer, too!! I love it! I been workin at this day sports camp this past week and this week I am and it's so much fun. Basically I get paid for doing nothing b/c there are so many counselors. And the kids are cute. Well that's about all that I have to say just about now except this: bowling, $9????!!!! Yeah, since we are all so rich and all.............sheesh. ~Nic-o-lee~

Nicole posted this at 4:04 PM.So I was reading over the old entries of this blog and it makes me sad to think of what it has become!! It used to be so entertaining, so enlightening, and so encouraging! What has happened, girls? Now it's just my uncreative self trying to salvage this sorry blog and its no fun anymore! Should we just delete this sorry attempt? I'm starting to think so...it saddens me to even think about this blog. Anyways, you wanna know what just happened? A cockroach just scuttled inside my computer...his name is Cammy. He's been living in there for who knows how long and it's quite disgusting. Today I cleaned and boxed my entire room to move it all into our new house next week. We own the house as of next Tuesday and since I'm working at a sports camp the next two weeks, I had to get a head start. My room is so claustrophobic now. But tonight I'm excited b/c the Bible Study gals are comin over plus Lindsey and I'm quite excited! They are the funniest gals and they are fun to be around. So I'll stop my gabbing even though I'm positive nobody even reads this anymore...buh bye -Nicolee-

Saturday, May 31, 2003! :) Good to hear from you, Ry. Anyways, guess who's done with school? Yeah that'd be me. Finished Thursday and although everybody cried and was upset to see me go away for a whole summer, it was good. haha riiiight. So we had an Awards Ceremony Friday which consists of the same smart people walking up to the front over and over again. Me and my friends had fun making jokes and enjoying the fact that we are among the less than genius people in our grade, although I got one award: the French award. haha, It made me laugh because I fo sho don't care about that class. So then we had Bak-a-lor-ee-ette (spelled phonetically) for the Beekster which was pretty good actually and Beeka won a very high honor: the Chaplain award because she is a "beacon" in her class! :) Yeah for Beeka the Beacon! She also won First Place for her senior portfolio and the DAR award. She's my hero, basically. Then she graduated this morning and aunts and uncles and family and SJ were/are here to see it. It's quite fun, all this graduating stuff...lots of soda and cake. So anyways, yeah for summer!! I love it and can't to get some tan on my white self... see y'all tomorra. :) Hope the thing on Friday went well, Reid and Zach--sorry I couldn't come! Missed you guys...Nikki from the blog <><
Nicole posted this at 4:10 PM.hey guys!!! its been a REALLY long time since i've blogged...so i think its time to catch everyone up with my life....well first of all, remember Todd? the guy that was new and was in my bio class and then we saw him at the mall that one time?

And I'll be home tomorrow.
-A little song my mom taught me from good ole England- Have a great day! -Nicole <><-
Nicole posted this at 4:59 PM.So today was fun...a little to rainy for my taste but fun. In Sunday School, that discussion was funny b/c I thoroughly enjoy seeing people get upset over the stupidest details. Todd was funny too, I'm fo sho glad that he's our intern this summer--it'll be fun/enlightening. So exams tomorrow...I find it rather ironic that our history exam is on Memorial Day...shouldn't we be out of school? :) Well, right bout now I wish I was at the beach..
Sunday, May 25, 2003. Have a great week everybody and 4 more days of school....woo hoo
Nicole posted this at 3:39 PM.Bah, detention this morning was not cool. Anytime where you have to go in early b/c you got in trouble is not gonna be fun. But what especially rocked my face back on was the fact that I got it for having my sleeves rolled up in Chapel! Welcome to Hale. Sheesh, but me and this smart girl got out early b/c we were "good". Yay hoo. My day was quite lovely besides that and I was happy to come home and catch up on some of the shows I couldn't watch last night. So everybody, have a great day, I miss you all and if you read this, you are supwa fwy/cool. :) Love ya-Nicole <><

Nicole posted this at 5:08 PM.Hmm, maybe we should change the name of this blog to "Just a Mellow City-Dweller". Sheesh....here's the menu today folks...School, Hw (eh? optional), Bible Study (YEAH!), 7th Heaven, American Idol, and Everwood! Sheesh! I'm jampacked! :) haha For real, I don't have to watch these shows but I do quite enjoy them. So today my thought was "Ew, rain, ew!" But God made the rain so I'm trying to see the good in it. So, everybody have a great day and shout to all my crazy city-dwellers who don't blog anymore!! (oh wait, that'd be everybody....) -Nicole <><

Nicole posted this at 5:06 PM.Ah so I got some props for blogging today--Yeah Chacha....at least someone still reads this sad little blog! :) I'm very happy to hear the good news about Drew and Praise God fo sho! It's amazing how he still works miracles today. Oh and everybody pray for Richard b/c he has surgery tomorrow (Monday) at 11 to put pins in his arm. The Peacemaker Play was quite great tonight...I enjoyed it thoroughly especially with Sarah and Beeka singing and saying all the words throughout the entire play. Stubby was great too :) So I head on into the week feeling not so very excited with all the work I must do but it's almost the end and I press on towards the goal. Sheesh, I'm so unbelievably ready for summer. Well everybody have a great week and I love you all. -Nikki from the Blog- *~*Mary--We are most def goin fishing this week!*~*

Nicole posted this at 4:30 PM.Wonder if anyone actually still reads this little memory? Well, I'm still gonna write faithfully in it even though I'm the only dork still caring about it. So this week was good, didn't go to school Monday, had school Tuesday, got half my braces off today (yes ladies and gents, only half--welcome to my life) and saw our new house. I love it! :) Oh and mad props to Princess ReRe/Beeka/Beeks/ReRe for the 500 dollar award she got today from our school. She is my American Idol! Speakin of which, Go Clay. So Beeka is done with school (bah!) and I have maybe 10-11 days left of school. YEAH! I'm so incredibly ready for summer. Oh and I got a job (YEAH!) for those who didn't know (sorry, chacha). And Bible Study tomorrow at Mama C's at 6 and bring food, gals...COME! Well, that's it for the random thoughts. :) Oh, one more...Ben get better--we all feel incredibly bad for your sore toe....riiiiight. Have a great week! Hebrews 12:2 ~NICOLE~

So, back to the abandoned blog I go. Alot has happened in the past 2 weeks...let's recap, shall we? Hmm....our family put our house on the market and it sold in less than a week, which is great but also not so good because I fo sho don't wanna leave this House of Dreams and I'm sure Beeka feels the same way. It's funny because I really didn't think I would care at all about what house I lived in or if we moved but when it happened it felt horrible and I don't wanna leave this house. I'm trusting God though to bring us a better (if that's possible) house and I'm trying to be joyful. Well, my friends, Charity has reached bliss. :) Lucky her. Ah! I found a sweet picture of John Mellencamp in front of an American flag which reminded me of America Rocks...the thought almost brought tears to my eyes! Oh, what blissful days those were. So I gave the picture to Zach and we had a good chat. Oh and did anyone know that our very own Richard and Danny have stalkers? hahaha They are so cool...oh, to be like them. Well, I think that covers anything major...Have a great day everybody.
*~*Nicole <><*~*
Nicole posted this at 4:04 PM.I'm gonna have to agree with Princess Re-Re on this one...who cares if anyone remembers you after you die? Who cares if you have a statue in your memory or if not one single person comes to your funeral? All you need to worry about is if you lived every moment as if it was your last and if you did for God...cuz ultimately He made you and He will decide what happens after death. I'll be honest: I wanna have somebody remember me and to think of me in some kinda good way after I die, but it's not what's most important to me. All I care is that I served God and feel like I served some purpose for him and told somebody along the way how much He loves them. Hmm...a little bit cheesy I know. But I just wanted to share this b/c it's the most important thing in my life. So, Happy Easter everyone. I love you all but even if my love is not perfect at times (and it isn't), God's always is. :) Happy Easter!! <3, Nicole

Nicole posted this at 10:18 PM. ahh what is this heaviness my friends? just live you life, dont care about what others think of you, and just live it to glorify God and strive to live in His perfect will. That is my main goal. Very simple and uncomplicated and attainable. that is all i have to say. See you all tomorrow at the easter service!

rebecca posted this at 9:56 PM.well guys, here i am blogging from the beach!! im here with the family for easter and the kenglas have joined us....good tiimes indeed. i have,like reid also turned 18 and it is quite a strange thing to think about. reid,k your blog is full of wisdom...i however, being an optomist like to think that when i die, i will have left some mark on this world. im not saying that i will change the world and hav emy name in a textbook or sompthing. but i would like to think that i have helped osmeone once, or brightened someone's day, and that leaves a mark on that person's mind that they will remember me when i leave. also, as graduation grows ever nearer, i hope that i will be remembered at my school, that i have stood out to my teachers so that when i come back to visit them, they will remember who i am. i hope that i have lived my life in a way that i will be remembered....anyways, enough heavy stuff for this blog. i have decided to join crew in college(rowing). i hear its pretty hard core at state and they run like three miles every mornign at 5....i cant wait!! also, rowing makes you mad strong...im really excited about this!! well, guess that is all. everyone have a wonderfulll easter and ill cya next week!!

charity posted this at 10:40 PM.well girls, i'm embarking to the wonderful island of emerald isle tomorrow morning. 5 straight days of sun and friends and tennis. fun times for sure!! And then i will return for hte good friday service, which i recommend everyone going to as it is very meaningful and sobering. Definetly not for the wimps! Well ladies as it has been a long time since i posted and as i haven't been able to hang out w/ ya'll lately, i would like to fill you in on the happenings of my life. I now am a proud owner of a fish named harry who enjoys classical music and sunshine. I devoutly care for my windowbox flowers everyday who seem to each have their own personality. I've been reading like a fiend and have come to life conclusions. I have no interest in college or jobs. Unlike fellow blogger ben, i desire nothing more than to settle down in good ol' cary, nc for life and have a big family of tons of kids and some dogs and gardens. that is my dream. I dont want to party, freak out and have an identity crisis in college, i just want to have my own home. I think this is a very odd mindset of someone my age, but that is ok w/ me. well anyways, girls, what are your dreams? post them here for just us cders to read as i'm pretty sure that no one else reads this anymore. thats all for my random thoughts, luv you all and don't forget to do our bible study on "emotions". most enlightening.

Nicole posted this at 12:34 PM.So I've had some really fun times this weekend. I had no school Friday, so I went fishing with LaLa and I caught a fish (sorta)...ask me about it, it's a great story...believe you me. Then I went to Carolina that night to hang out with my bible study gals--SIS, baby (or Bible Babes, since that name was way cooler than SIS)--and that was rockin. Skye McFarland is one of the funniest people I know and I would just like to say it was some fun times! :) Katie B. was there too and it was great to get together again!! Me and Skye are gonna start a "Psalm 100" fan club (we bought the CD)...haha. It was great to see my school that I will be goin to in 2 years...ah, love of my life, sweet Carolina. So anyways, I get home and have to go babysit for 2 hours and get 20 dollars (give me a white "holler"!) and so that was most def good. And then we went to Jeff's house for a cookout and talked about scandals...it was some fun times. Too bad that we played that toilet paper game though cuz me and Depot were not feelin it. :) Oh and may I say that Beeka was a beautiful princess (Princess ReRe!!) last night and it brought tears to my little eyes. :) So to wrap up, I loved this weekend and tomorrow I get to go to see everyone so fun times! Yeah, so I really don't know how to decide about this whole dating issue...I can see both sides to it. Hmm...who knows? We shall see :) (Depot, don't forget our plan...I've been scheming lately). Well that's all folks...this was a really long blog! Have a great day, I love you all -Nikki from the Blog-

Nicole posted this at 8:10 PM. awwww, thanx beeks!! im so happy that you had a fun time!! see, what did i tell you? geez, so many fun things going on in my life...i will give you my scedule....this friday-spring assembly(i got a really pretty dress and guess who is escorting me...DAVID!!!!)-by the way i am nominated for spring queen which is like homecoming queen but less important. then, the next wednessday is my 18th birthday!! we get out of school that thursday for easter and im going to the beech. then the next saturday is prom!!! yeah!! im so excited. also, my parents have been out of town for a whole week in hawaii so i have had a nice long break from them which is very good. the reason i havent been writing is cause my comp has been broke but now, i can finally blog again!! ben, to adress your philosophical view of dating, i htink you have made the right decision. i mean, it is much better to just have really good friends than to screw everything up with relationship crap. however, this does not effect my relationship with david. perhaps dating isnt really all that great, but, if you like a guy and he likes you, why not give it a shot? im a senior and after this year, life will be very different for me in college. i just wanna live life to the fullest at this point in time. i mean, im only in high school once and ive kinda hit a mid-life-crisis so to speak. my remaining time in high school is growing short. this last semester has been the funnest time of my life so far, so i think im just gonna go for it with david. o and by the way, he is catholic. dont worry, we are taking things very slowly and he is a really great guy.... sorry nicole this is digressing. anyways, that is where i stand right now...apologies for the rambling stream of consious post. also, everybody pray for jane and my coach this week. jane was invited to an international competition in slovenia and she and ms kathie leave sunday. im kinda worried about them flying overseas withall this war stuff going on and jane isnt an american citizen...so just keep them in your prayers. thanx guys--i love you all!!
charity posted this at 5:04 PM. Wow girls, prom was sooo much fun!! it was at the art museum and it was all decorated and super fancy and it was a blast. They gave us our senior gifts from teh junior class and guess what we are getting........GOLDFISH FOR OUR DORMS!!!! how fun is that???/ i'm so excited. dancing was really fun and goofy, my date was sooo freakin tall though, my arms woudl hurt by the end of every song, but he was great and really nice. well anyho,, i'm exhausted but i just wanted to update for you ladies, i'll bring pictures tomorrow. luv ya'll.

So today was not my day but I tried to make the best of it. I hate it when people don't do something and so you are left to do it. It just depresses me and very much annoys me. Well I have some bad news my home-dawgs, I can't come tomorrow to help Tommy move!! I really really want to but I can't because of a rere babysitting job I had forgotten about...it saddens me to the core! Why the hades did I schedule this mofo job so far in advance? Grrr....so are you guys goin bowling on Friday night? I want to but I have to work the next day and I don't know that I want to risk my sleep for bowling...I might be convinced though. Oh and did you cders know that Mary got some new shades? They are purple! Yeah, Mary!! Of course, they do not begin to replace her hott shades she lost over the demonic pier, but they help ease the pain. Oh and how do I know this?

Today was relaly fun riding to lunch in the back of my friends jeep wrangler with the top down and jimmy buffet blasting from the speakers. it was a little risque though b/c we passed 3 cops and there were 7 of us in the car. fun times fun times. well girls, see you later. everyone that can..help tommy move!!

Nicole posted this at 4:29 PM.So this was my realization of the day: I'm scared of ladders...well not ladders themselves but being up on them. See, I had to work from 9-5 today from my dad (I was in trouble...surprise!) and one of things I had to do was clean the garage windows. Doesn't sound so bad, right? WRONG! These windows are the worst of all windows ever...they had cobwebs, dead bugs wrapped up in webs, cocoons, egg sacs, and a bunch of other extremely gross specimens. So not only do I have to clean these but I have to go all the way up on this gigantuous ladder to clean them! I was scared out of my mind. Then after that I was just about to cry. I was just too sad to work and I had a ton of work. It got better though...Sarah cheered me up and I had a good lunch. :) At least one Saturday is over...only one more to go. And to finish the day off better than started, I went to my friend's 16th birthday party and I got to drive a tractor!! Her cousins live on a farm and they brought their tractor as a surprise and the wheels were bigger than I was...I loved having that much power!! :) Okay, don't think I'm a hick, guys...I just thought it was fun. Well, Tarheels still rock my face off even though they lost. I still love them. -Nicole <><-

Nicole posted this at 10:01 PM.Hmm it seems to be a popular day to blog so I think I shall. Not much to say...did some fishing today...actually mostly I just watched but they wouldn't have caught anything without me and they know it. I must say, I am tired off the heezy (don't ask me what this means...I can not tell you). I'm just so lethargic and weak...every key that I push takes all of my energy. Sheesh, I think I may be getting sick...this is no good. Well, I just wanted to say Robbie is my hero b/c he really encouraged me the other night: thanks Robbie. I miss those crazy days of summer fun...soon they are to return. Ah, the beach trip was a classic. I remember that Ali was funny that trip...she's a funny gal, I must say. Well that's all my random thoughts today except for that I love youth group. I hope that we can all be friends and hang out together some day. That would be bliss. -Nicole <><-

DAVID!!!! 2. spring break!!! 3. new cd!! 4. 70 degree weather tomorow!!....hrm, im sure there is more but ive got the big ones covered (david and spring break) well guys guess that is all. peace.

rebecca posted this at 5:45 PM. well, folks. im conflicted. what to do tonight. i really dont wanna go to choir thing, i wanna do something but. hrm, im feeling rather moody and mean right now. so if ive been mean to you lately, please ignore. wow, this new state of 24 hour dilusion is really bugging ppl i think, but ya know what, i like it. last night was off the chain fo sho!! especially dancing lessons, mezmerized, jack astors...ahh, so much fun. welp, looks like im gonna be home alone next wednesday so...we can have a movie night or sompthin. well gotta go.
charity posted this at 5:12 PM. Ok Reid...don't diss my parents...you can diss your own but not mine. I don't appreciate that since you don't even know why they had a no-go on the guys. Anyways, I was very happy to talk to Robbie the other night...it was great to talk to him again! Come back to us! Last night was a night of crazy waiters, funny movies, dillusion to the extreme, dancing, and sign language. What could be better, I ask you?! So have a great day/night and remember that things aren't always as bad as they look...Nicole <><
Nicole posted this at 3:47 PM.i agree w/ charity, last night was soooo much fun. And we have a new best friend, jennifer-the-make-up-artist. I miss her already :o) well i have school i like a half hour and i seriously could cry about it right now, i'm sooo sick of school its unbelievable. plus i got in a fight w/ my spanish teacher and i have to face him again today. fun times ahead.

charity posted this at 11:03 PM. Hello all- I'm disappointed in the lack of bloggage...let's take it up a notch! Anyways...so I have school tomorrow, yeah that's right...on a Saturday! Shmack!! But it's only half a day and I fully expect to do something fun afterwards...what? Who knows...but I'm sure I'll find some. Note to Charity: no boys allowed....this is the rule!! Don't break the sisterhood, jigga. Anyways, my sista is home from UNC and she brought two of her friends and I've been helping them set up their own blog...it's funny how this disease has spread! Even Skye (the coolest person ever!) has one...Eh? Who woulda thunk? Well that's all I have to say...wasn't much, was it? Oh well...Off to babysit, I go....if you feel the need to bail me out and save me from my boredom...feel free! Call my cellular...Nicole <><
Nicole posted this at 7:24 PM. Ya'll have been asking for a poem, so I had a late night inspiration. This by no means is a beginning of any competition between the cders and islanders, so no worries:o) I love you all and I hope you enjoy it!
THE CITY
A place to hide from all our fears,
From facing life that draws us near,
To one who calls us where we've grown,
To bring us back to teachings old.
Of blood and sweat on Calvary,
A cross amazing grace carried,
Beyond all understanding clear,
That His love blinds all human fear.
That our Jesus, He would die,
That those He loved, Would crucify,
The Perfect One, The Son of God,
He gave is heart, So we may not.
So as we hide our crosses from,
Think once again where true love comes,
So bear the dark and bless the light,
And rise above these crowded sights.
Take heart, and fly from here to Him,
Where love is more than just a whim,
Beyond the place where lives can sell,
Bear thy cross, Bear it well.
The city haven, Place of peace,
Is not one place, But two indeed.
One of fear of living full, The other in Christ a living hope
So listen my fellow hearts come near,
To harbor in a shining shelter hear,
As this mellow city dweller declares,
The King has come, and He dwells here.
. In Him, Megan
Megan posted this at 12:42 AM.well, i think you are the bomb ultra diggity nicole!! ya know, its really an okay thing that you are in a camelian(eh, screw the spelling) phase. i still love you the way you are! anyways, i like this boy so much. he is soooo CUTE!! that is the only way to describe him...ah, just thinking of him makes me smile. perhaps i will go put on my prom dress now. okay, im back, and in my dress. i just cant wait!! lately ive been on some sort of an everlasting high...you would know this if you were at g-berrys last night. im suddenly in a state of dilusion 24-7...and i like it, i like it alot. well, if you cant tell, ive had a great day. im praying for all of you who have not and i know that God will heal everything all in his perfect timing. so keep your chin up! love ya!!

charity posted this at 6:09 PM. Hmm...the more I think about it, the more curious I am about this whole "snapdragon"deal. I mean, nobody really can figure out what my personality is! Is that good or bad? I mean, Charity can't figure out who I am and she's an expert people-watcher. (Did ya notice how she did Mary and Beeka analysises but not me? Coincidence, I think not!) It reminds me of that great Mulan song "Reflection" which Christina Aguilera sings...its an oldie but a goldie. So, I've decided to not care what other people think of me (since nobody can really figure out who I am, anyways)...whether they hate me, are mad at me, think I'm the bomb (pretty sure nobody thinks that though :) ), I just don't care anymore. The only approval I want is from God. Hmm...let's all reflect on that, shall we? I think we spend too much time worrying about what other people think when we should just focus on what God thinks and if we are doing His will. Well, that's my sermon for today. Hope you enjoyed...If you figure out who I am, email me at nkeegan@nc.rr.com. Thanks~Nicole <><
Nicole posted this at 4:53 PM. I like tulips, so thats oki doki w/ me Becca:o) My only comment on the situation w/ me and Reid is that it really stinks and I miss him like craziness!!!! Everyone keeps telling me that the time's gonna fly and I hope they're right! Anywheres, I'm now a whopping seventeen and I as usual I feel no different, but still it's been a year of change and I've gotten so much closer to God and have met some really great people( especially all you cders, islanders, pagans, and peace folks!)! Thank you to the gals, especially Becca and Mrs. Cheek for being so sweet on my birthday:o) Ya'll have honestly perfected the art of making me cry in a good way, so thanks:o) I'm sad though, cause my mom was supposed to tape gilmore grrls and it didn't work, so I missed it.....so sad and yes pathetic to anyone besides the gals reading this! Oh, about Saturday, I'll be calling ya'll, but as of yet no serious plans have been made. Congrats on charity's guy by the by, and Mary: I'm praying for you, so keep looking up! Oh, and for any american idol watchers, Clay Aken ( he takes voice w/ my voice teacher! ) kicks american booty;o) Have a great day and God bless all of ya'll!
*Megan*
Megan posted this at 12:28 PM.OMG beeka how the heck did you know?? lilies are my favorite flower and always have been!!! so cool-its like one mind! well, for those of you who dont know...i got a date to prom with mr. most likely to appear on the cover of a magazine!! thats right...he is hot!! well, im praying for everyone. have a great day!

charity posted this at 11:54 AM.Hello friends...today was a slow start. I got up went to school (blech!), did my thang there, and came home. Then I went to bible study (I love Mama C, even though it annoys my dear sister Beeka that I call her that) and I watched Gimore Girls with none other than Mary at the Cheek house. It was off the hook...(Happy Birthday to Megan by the way. :) Hope you have a great year.) So anyways, I don't know how I feel about being a snapdragon...I just don't think I like that flower. I wish I could tell you what kind of flower I am but I don't know the names. Just deal. So all I have to say is that I heard three fabtastic songs on the way home from Bible Study and when I hear good songs, it just makes my day. Tally of good songs I heard in the past two days: 9(...this is just on the radio cuz if you hear it on a CD, it just doesn't count.) Well that's all folks. Sorry about the stream of consciousness...Nicole <><

Nicole posted this at 9:52 PM. Reid and Mary--i have been praying for you guys soo much. i really think that our group is under attack from the devil. we are all getting a long so well and our youth group is all coming together, and that is exactly what the devil does not want. So i'll continue to pray for reid and mary, and everyone else daily, cuz that is the only way to beat this thing. You all mean so much to me, and i appreciate each of you and your unique personalities and gifts.
On a lighter, less mushy note, charity i am addicted to "a diamond is forever" but now my question is...what kind of flower would you have?? i most def would have daisies as they are my favorite by far ( no they are NOT weeds). charity i'm thinking your a lilies girl, mary i see you as some tropical orchids or gardenias, megan i think you are tulips and nicole you are snapdragons and ferns. These flowers all suit you somehow. eh,just my opinion. well luv you all, see you tonight!

rebecca posted this at 1:06 PM.So we went to the beach today...so cold!! The only I could do im my sweatpants, sweatshirt, toe socks, and hood was grab onto Beeka and tackle her saying "Beeka!! I'm soooo cold!!" Oh so funny. Well not much else to say except that I am sad b/c 1) not gonna be able to come to bible study tomorrow b/c of my stupid awards ceremony and 2) Reid is sad... :( I'm praying for you! Have a great day everybody...

"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed...Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day...So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:5, 16, 18 (not only are these such encouraging verses, but part of it is from the song "Yes, Lord"...I hope this helps some of y'all who are feeling down!) :) *~*Nicole*~*
Nicole posted this at 7:37 PM. lets go to the beach, oh baby, lets go to the beach! Yes this is a song and it perfectly describes my feelings today. We are going to the beach in this glorious sunshine. 59 degrees with not a cloud in sight. my life is now complete. luv you all, and see you jiggas in biblestudy tomorrow w/ mama C...yayy!!

rebecca posted this at 10:25 AM.Hi guys...well sorry about that lack of bloggage lately...painting has quite occupied my life. I would just like to say that you guys mean the world to me and that I love you. I thank God everytime I remember you guys (phil 1:3). Have a great night/day and I especially love Mary of the Morning....she's the shining star of my existence (I read that on a fortune cookie..it seemed appropriate)!! -Nicole <><

La La: Where's the love?
Nicole posted this at 10:26 PM.Oh man, there were some definite highlights today with the painting...Beeka singing "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen", Will exclaiming (after helping my dad put back some of fixtures for the door) that he is "Screwer man", my dad's history lesson on the origin of the word "sh*t"(...apparently it's an acronym), Beeka falling asleep in the closet where she was stuck until the paint dried...oh good times. Well have a great night, see y'all tonight. -Nicole <><-

Nicole posted this at 5:33 PM. Insights into the day in the life of a painter. Well the day started out rough and got worse w/ my entire family dilusional as we painted. Yet there were some funny moments to be captured....moment 1) My dad giving me a lecture on saying freakin',,,,even though he says it all the time..moment 2) My dad explaining the origin of the word "sh*t",,, strangely enough it all relates back to the mayflower....who knew. 3) painting myself into a closet and being stuck in there until the paint dries so i layed back and took a quick nap....4) dropping a glob of paint on my moms head, and still not having the guts to tell her that. eh o well,,,these are just some of the paint fumy moments that have been experianced..... now on to a different topic. Sam kevin and richard and danny---> that prank was soooo not cool last night... lets end all pranks now. well see you all tonight probably
-rebecca
rebecca posted this at 5:11 PM. hrm, no one is blogging. well anyways, today was a day of fine dining my friends. i know i skipped out on tanning for college celebration, but i mean, who am i kidding, i will never get tan anyways. it all started when my mom made me and liz ham and chese omlets for breakfast-yum. next for lunch me and my friends went to Jill's Cafe...youve prob never heard of it but it is good-i had a philly cheese steak, fries, and sweet tea-double yum. then for dinner, i got to pick where to go so we went to Kabuki, the best food ever!! it is my favorite kind as well-china style! so then i went skating from 10-12pm and afterwards went to gypsies shiny diner. there i got sausages and orangeade...by then it was around 1o'clock so i was in kinda a weird food mood. sausage just seemed to hit the spot. after that i came home and had some cheesecake that my dad made. wow, what a great day for eating!! well, if youre not hungry by now......well, peace out. blog more city dwellers!!
charity posted this at 1:21 AM.I GOT ACCEPTED TO NC STATE DESIGN SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! horay horay!! im so excited about this because it means that next year rather than do all that boring english, chemistry, math stuff, i will be in a studio where i will have unlimited access to art suplies galore and can just go there and make stuff for my grades!!! ok, so its probly not this great, but i think im gonna have a blast! plus, reid and beeka will be close by! God is really opening the doors i was hoping would be opened! yeah!! my joy is overflowing! peace to all of you...i love you guys!!!

charity posted this at 4:44 PM. Well...here's a fun fact for the day: Mr. Rogers was colorblind. Yes, my friends it's true. So if any of you were wondering how he didn't quite seem to look like his outfit went quite together...now you know the answer. I would like to say that I hope my friend Charity is having fabtastic day today :) I watched some scary movies last night and it was quite spooky. My friend got her boyfriend and his friends to come scare us at the glass doors in her basement. So they waited outside till they heard us screaming our lungs out (we were watching "House on a Haunted Hill") and then pressed their faces against the glass and yelled bloody murder only to scare us out of our skins! Ah! So scary...and then we stupidly watched another scary movie ("Final Destination") and after that one, we just sat there waiting for one of us to be brave enough to put in a happy movie. :) Fun times...although I wished with all my heart that I could be with my dear, dear CDers. Have I told you guys lately how much I love you? Where would I be without you guys? Cya later, Nicole <><
Nicole posted this at 3:04 PM. It is a sad day in the neighborhood, my friends. The beloved Mr. Rogers has died this morning at the ripe old age of 74. The man who had endless polyester weave sweaters, the man who annoyed us all with his multi-puppet voices which somehow always sounded the same, the man who never raised his voice, never got mad, no matter how many faces you would make at the tv. And now he is gone....moment of silence for that.
rebecca posted this at 8:36 AM.Well Jiggees and Jiggers, i have returned from carolina and i must say some knowledge was gleaned while dwelling there. 1) You WILL recieve a parking ticket if the sign says not to park before 9 and you do so. 2) if you are 5'1", do not go to a basketball game where you will stand the whole time b/c all you will be able to see is the hoop, and your neck starts to hurt after a while. 3) college students START their homework after 12, ending at 2:00, with the light on the whole time. All in all though, it was a lot of fun to hang out w/ my sista and discover a little tanning nook called "tan your hide" hehhe. Well nicole has informed me that several are intersted in the day beach trip saturday so lets make it a go. The only thing is--ben or reid,if either one of you is going, can we use your van? let me know. lets leave pretty early saturday morning. Sorry i missed bible study last night,but i heard mary was her usual comical self. good times. Well i'm sorry for the continued strife in our happy little group, but hopefully it will be resolved soon. Lets all just be honest and forthright and adopt the phrase 'Hakuna Matata' . if you do'nt know what this slogan means, there is no help for you. well i now am entering my 5-day bliss of winter break. Mary--im me sometime b/c i have a plan for us for friday afternoon. luv you all!

ps- I think i speak for the cders is saying that it would be an honor to visit such a holy place as the islanders abode and haven
pps- ahh i'm soo sorry this blog is soo long but the forecast for saturday at the beach is sunny, 62 degrees, w/ 0% precipitation, could that be more perfect?
rebecca posted this at 2:07 PM. Hey...somebody call me on my cellular today after you figure out the plans for tonight so that I can leave the party and come hang out with y'all...413-7764. -Nicole- :)

I want to save you girl, come be in Nikki's world, "Ooooh girl you drive me crazy," Char, you make me twirl...
Charity...Hmm, thought I'd make my own G-rated version...I just wanna hear that song (even though Depot told me not to listen to it)...I just want to. -Nikki from the Blog- GO UNC
Nicole posted this at 9:27 PM. "i think i love you baby"(hint for nicole:answer back appropriately in ur next blog!) wow ben, i completely agree, i mean, i want us all to just be freinds as well, but these things just dont suddenly go away, we should all just talk it out and no more of this internet fighting stuff, gets to complicated and more importantly takes way to long. well, friends, my life is going great as well. school is actually fun and the teachers seem to be giving in to our senioritis--very sweet. ahhh, and the best news eva--WE HAVE A CHAPERONE!!! this makes my day as does cirque du sole!! whats going on tomorow--no caribou right? someone make a decision. what a happy time! smile. beach day trip-genious(dont think that is the correct spelling...eh) as is mission trip--geez princess ree ree, just as i suspected you are the most brilliant person on the planet!!
love, charity
charity posted this at 4:59 PM. Hey la la...supposed to be in class right now but eh? It's optional. So I'm up for the beach trip...let's do it! I need to get tan sooo incredibly bad. I blind myself with my whiteness. Anyways, I was just thinking that all this fighting that has been going on in the youth group is just silly...why don't we all just be friends? I mean, I would never do anything intentionally to hurt anybody in the youth group so I just hope that we can get all this animosity cleared up. I love you guys! "Put a smile on, put a smile on, everybody c'mon, put a smile on!" -Nicole <><-
PS I would just like to clear something up: my blog about the things that went wrong with my day was supposed to be humorous, not depressing or sad. It was for a laff.
Nicole posted this at 11:15 AM. Wow ben, that was a really nice, uplifting post that most def made my day w/ its cheerfulness. Ok guys, brace yourself, but is anybody interested in a day trip to the beach this saturday? we could leave early and get back late and borrow someones minivan to cart everyone in. I know this is so random and last minute, but it would be soooooo fun to be a the beach, if only for a little while. What larks! Let me know. Anyways, dear cders, i think that i am quite possibly going to meredith now for college. I'm really excited about this, even though i will have to pay some funds towards the expensive education. I got a couple scholariships so its not too much, but its still decent. I don't mind htough b/c i don't mind working yearround. my mom just commented on how ironic it is that the i'm the only one in the family that has never wantd to go to college, and now i'm the only one who has to pay towards a tuition. Life has a way of kicking you in the butt sometimes. As a last random note, does anyone know of a short term missions trip happening this summer? after hearing that urbana thing saturday night, i really want to do a missions trip this summer, but i don't know where to find a group going. I don't want to go w/ the church to guatemala b/c mrs. kennedy pretty much = mrs connor in my book. well let me know of anything. peace to my mofos!
-rebecca
rebecca posted this at 10:19 AM.THE CHAPERONE IS SECURED!!!!!!! BARB WILDER IS CHAPERONING THE GREATEST SPRING BREAK EVER!!! Word to that. I"m sooo excited now. I unfortunatly cannot come to bible study as this is a extenuating circumstance but rest assure, dear faithful bloggers, i will most def come to all bible studies hereafter. So what are we all doing friday night? someone get on that. lets do something crazy and fun.

rebecca posted this at 9:17 PM. my state after this weekend can be described by one word--drained. im sick of all the fighting, all the hate. "why cant we be freinds? why cant we be freinds?" well, for now i will brush off the hatas and continue with this bloggage. nicole, way to rock the alfabet!! so today my long lost friend from like the 5th grade came up to me and asked if ben was in a band. apparently she saw you guys play and recognized ben from when she came to our church a bazillion years ago!! ironical. anyways, spring break plans are almost panning out we just need a frikin chaperone...please anyone...im desperate!! grammys last night-all i saw was some shnippets during comercials of alias but i did happen to catch nelly and kelly and have come to a realization. it looks so bad when the girl is taller than the boy!! esp. kelly who was like a foot taller than nelly in those daggone heels!! for this reason i must buy prom shoes strategically this year!! well, im out like a light bulb. cya at bbl study!!
charity posted this at 8:48 PM. so you're not going to come to bible study rebecca?
Mary posted this at 7:30 PM. wooohooo tomorrow is gonna rock my face off. First school (eh) then i go straight from there to UNC to visit my sista and take full advantage of her free NC state-carolina bball tickets. Then we are going tanning (because we long for the sun!!) and lastly i'm spending the night in her dorm and going late to school the next day. Does life get any better? i think not, i really don't. Then i have winter break thursday, friday and monday this week, good deal. wow i'm soo happy, i think i might just go out and buy myself a cute little pair of shoes. Love to my mofos!

rebecca posted this at 6:49 PM. I'm seriously disappointed in the lak of bloggage folks...where's the love? Well, today was a beautiful day outside and all I kould think about at lun# was: I kould be laying out right now. My brain is fried to a krisp b/c I made up so many kwizzes and tests today that I suddenly find everything funny! Oh...so dillusional! Weww fwiends, I hope you know that this is written in #arity's New Alfabet...I just thought it was time to revive that piese of sheer genius. Hmm...well I'm gonna go play outside now... have a great day...Remember: Life without Jesus is like a doughnut kuz there's a hole in the middle of your heart. -Nicole-
Nicole posted this at 4:57 PM.List of things that went wrong today:
Sunday, February 23, 2003
1. I woke up earlier than usual on a Sunday morning so that I can get a shower w/ alot of water. Nope, I get a sprinklin faucet.
2. I decided to look presentable and blowdry my hair. My hair decides to friz up like a mad man.
3. I thought that I was goin to meet with Megan Hodge and Teri Haigh about bible study during sunday school so I stayed up last night (after my late-night babysitting job) to finish my bible study. Mrs. Haigh is sick so we don't meet.
4. I get to Sunday School and there are no chocolate doughnuts left.
5. I am supposed to go out with someone for lunch but that doesn't work out so I happily decide to go out with my good friend, Skye. We decide to go to the best place in town, the SSSS (Salem Street Soda Shop, of course), but when we get there, it is closed. No worries, we go to a mexican restaurant instead.
6. I get home, all is good. Then I stupidly decide to try to organize something for tonight instead of the mission's thing. So I spend two hours trying to organize a get-together where no one will be left out and all will be happy: 1 hour trying to get in touch with Stacey (not her fault), a ton of time online trying to get people to come, a confusing conversation with La-la (aka Ben), and a bizillion phone calls. Then I finally get it worked out when my mom decides that I'm not allowed to organize it b/c it goes against the youth group leaders' decision. I'm okay with this and try to tie up a few loose ends. Then, I am suddenly not allowed to go. Mary cancels the whole thing. Kablam.
7. I decide to cheer myself up and go get a haircut. I get to "Great Clips" at 5:01. It closes at 5:00 on Sunday.
8. I decide to try to get some khaki overalls that I have been trying to get for weeks from Kohls. After 25 mins of gettin lost on my way, I reach Kohls: no overalls. I head over to Old Navy: no overalls.
9. So I decide to head home...I look for my two CDs and they are not in the car. Where are they? I don't know.
10. I finally decide to buy Cadbury Mini Eggs, my favorite candy in the whole world, and when I get to CVS: they are all out. I try a Cadbury Candybar: it is $1.49 and I only have $1.46. I decide to buy a gross candybar to end it.
Well, fellows, that is all. But I'm trying to see the funny side of things. I mean, I still got to hear "Hey la la" in Sunday School and God still loves me. What more can I ask for? *~*Nicole*~*

Nicole posted this at 6:12 PM. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps not record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Cor. 13:4-7)
Peace to all,

charity posted this at 7:58 PM. OOOO the pain, the agony. Yes i have woken up from my night of pure pain. See after doing that muscle fatigueness exercise in anatomy, i decided to try to conteract that pain w/ working out afterwards. So i jetted out of caribou early (since it sucked) and went home to work out. Now, my friends, i feel a pain like no other. my eyeballs hurt, every hair shaft hurts. It hurts when i sit down, it hurts worse when i stand up. There is no winning this game of pain, my friends. My solution is to be carried to every class and take massive doses of advil. the beauty of advil is either you feel fine so you dont have to take it, or you hurt so bad that the advil numbs away all the pain. it is a winwin situation. No i'm not a druggie either :o) well i must get to walking as my next class is in 30 minutes and it will take me at least that long to shuffle over there..

Rebecca
some may call her Beeka or Reeree, but me, i like to refer to her as the "sponge." no, this is not because she is squishy--she is not--it is because she absorbs others problems. she is someone that most feel comfortable talking to about thier lives. she is an excellent listener and is gentle in nature, giving advice when needed. she likes others to like her and has trouble being mean or hurting other's feelings. thus, she earns the sponge title, soaking in information. she is always there for you and has been my friend for eva...i love ya man!!
charity posted this at 4:47 PM. So...Last night was phenominal...I watched some good ole Gilmore Girls, talked to La-La (aka Ben...get it? hey la la ) and Mary and I must say that I did some high quality procrastinating. So I was up till approx. 12:30 studyin for my two chumongous tests today but eh? You take what you can get. I'm gonna be busier than a crazy mofo this weekend: Tomorrow-->school till lunch then off to "team bonding time" aka skipping school till departure for game, game at 7 in Fayteville, possible spend-the-nightage in a hotel. Friday--> if win on thursday, game at 4:30 in Fayteville, spend the night in hotel, no school whatsoever. Saturday-->game (if we win Friday) and celebrations and food. Get home on Saturday, do chores, and a buttload of makeup work!! I can't decide if I am happy about all this busyness (b/c I miss school) or if I'm sad (b/c I have work to make up). Eh? After this week, my busyness is over...but basketball is gone...I'm gonna miss my team! Well, yesterday I also talked to my good friend Skye and it was rather enjoyable although she got warned up to 60% on AIM...hmm...she's naughty. So, word to that crazy gal. Well, ladies and gents, come today even if you don't want to b/c it's gonna be fun and we need to reunite and share good times again. Don't bail, people...Love you all...holla (not "Halla Grace" (haha Char), not another word for "hola" (haha SJ), but a shortened version of "holler") at me if there is change in plans at nkeegan@nc.rr.com. Keep it real...Nicole
Nicole posted this at 2:55 PM. charity, just call me and i will tell you what is sooo ridiculous, it is something that cannot be posted. anywho,oooooooooooooo the pain!! today in anatomy we did a 55 minute workout session designed for muscle fatigue. I can no longer walk w/o being hunched over and moaning. it is excruciating. i'm using the faculty elevator to go up and down and for everything else i just enlist the help of my large friend matt to give me a piggy back ride. I hurt all over, i can only imagine what i will feel like tomorrow. o gosh!! Well i dunno if i'm coming to caribou or not tonight, somehow i'm just not feeling it. Anyways, 'im out, word to your motha!

rebecca posted this at 2:11 PM. mary, you mo fo, what are you talking about? the "wheres the shirt dance" rocks! ah and ben, i must concur with reid, what are you talking about..."this is getting rediculous" the women talk? your hat?(which i must say is looking great lately) ok, i wouldnt be so mad at my mom if she would just give me a concrete reason why we must have a chaperone. she shlaps me with restrictions that have no logical backing. ahhhh. well, im off to school. remember me at the game today while you are sipping your coffee and making conversation. i miss you guys!!!

Tuesday, February 18, 2003
for starters.....here's a reminder of the best parts of the weekend....
-sam and ben and the possum on the fishing pole....
-the MJ interviews
-laying in the bed while becca was in the bathroom.....where's the retainer???
-"ganking" ben's hat
-ice skating to wendy's
-when we were online and ben said and i quote "no women comes before the cders" (this>>> :) is how i feel about that)
-nair......that experience changed my life!
-and of course....getting to see charity dance........good grief
And now....since i have an an abundance of time on my hands....here's the essay i promised you girls last night......exploring the darkest corners of my life...leaving nothing out.....kinda like Michael's interview....only better (.....oh who am i kidding? i'll never live up to MJ!)
You think you know but you dont.....this is the diary of....well.....me
First of all, I have to say that Charity's observations were entirely true.....i like to keep things interesting and i'm not afraid to make my own drama.But I feel like i have a lot of other characteristics too. The drama queen act is just dominant cuz thats how i'm used to acting. I still have a lot to figure out about my personality and the person i want to become. I feel like there are so many mixed up personalities that i dont know what to do with....its like team schizophrenia in my mind. I do love the spotlight and I think that can be a good thing and a bad thing. I'm not afraid to be outgoing but it also makes me crave attention. Thats been kind of a struggle for me. I like to think that i've gotten a lot better with dealing with that side of my personality but there'll always be room for improvement.
Now onto my actual life........which contains exactly three components.......school, church, and volleyball. I wouldn't mind school so much if it weren't for the bias who currently infest Green Dope High School. I make straight A's and dont mind my teachers too much (except my geo. teacher.....MASSIVE lisp.....good grief i want to throw something at her). The beginning of the year was really hard for me cuz most of the people i knew had gone to Cary. It's been kinda tough but I've met people. If it weren't for the hotties I'd probably give up. Oh well......only what? 3 and a half more years? As you all know, church is also a major part of my life. I've never really been very excited about youth group up until this year. Now i love going and being with you guys! Volleyball is the third part of my life. I play during the school season and then i play on an off-season club team. So from around August to April I play competitively and then during the summer i do camps and clinics and whatnot. There have been many times when I've questioned why exactly I play volleyball.......but i continue to play for some reason. I know you guys think my team mates are just a bunch of stoners...and most of them are....but they're all really good athletes and I love playing with them. I dont know what I'd do with myself if i wasn't playing volleyball.
Alright...I hope you've enjoyed this tiny slice of insight into my life....I have a lot more thoughts to add but its getting late and my mind is jumbled up.....so this essay is to be continued......
K, I'm about to bizzounce......I love you all bunches and bunches! Hope to see most of you tomorrow!
Love all around!
Mary the "Mixer"...Mary Cool J.....Mary of the Morning.....Mary City :)
Sweet dreams...
Mary posted this at 11:05 PM. ahhhhh--shmacked!! cant come to caribou cuz of stupid dentist/basketball game(that is right, the season is not over yet--bittersweet. for those of you who experienced mental breakdown valentines day)!! well ben, you'll just have to wait for your hat a little longer!! hey la la!
charity posted this at 6:41 PM. I know, I know...I'm blogging twice in one day! Sorry guys. But I just wanted to bust out some good news: I can come to Caribou tomorrow! The babysitting job was cancelled and my practice is not during then so I can come. Woo hoo. So today was not a bad day...about as boring as a mofo but at least I won't have to make it up. So I'm sitting in PreCal (most boring class of my existence) when all of the sudden I realize that when I tap my feet...it makes a splashing sound. Yes, ladies and gents, there was a river flowing through our classroom. So after telling my teacher and her freaking out by spreading paper towels all over the floor (may I point out that paper towels do not soak up a river??!!) and our janitor coming in to mop up the leftover puddles from my teachers attempt to soak the water up, says I "WHY ARE WE AT SCHOOL?" I just wanted to be home with my dear CDers and blissfully pass the hours away. Ah, the good ole days. Well I love you guys...cya tomorra. (May I say that the Islanders most def need to blog more reliably...where's the committment? I miss hearing your ramblings...) Love to my mofos...*~*Cole*~*
Nicole posted this at 6:35 PM. hey lala, girls. this weekend was so much fun, words fail me. However i am now stuck at school, trying to prop my eyelids open from my lack of sleep. I don't know that i will be able to make it to movie night tonight b/c my mom said it wasn't a good idea b/c usually when i'm out all the time like i have been, i get pneumonia. However i pointed out that i am 18, and almost in college, and she left the decision up to me, however i know if i go, there will be the disaproving factor thrown at me through my mothers eyes. eh we will see. I am getting so much freakin homework at every class, i don't even know what to do w/ myself so i left in the middle of AP Lit, got myself a mountain dew, and now i feel much better. Well i'm out to do some homework. Wheres the shirt? wheres the retainer? Wheres the movie at? i'm doing my dance right now ;o)

rebecca posted this at 1:22 PM. IM BACK!!!! HEY LALA!! my ree ree computer has decided to prohibit my blogging for the past few days. hrm, where is ben's hat? um, problem, my mom seems unmovable on the SB chaperone rule!!! ahhhhh! this is mad craziness. at age 18 one is considered a frikin adult! anyways, im out of school so i dont really have anything to complain about. i have discovered that i like to analyze ppl, figure them out. so, i will divulge myself in one city-dweller a day. starting with mary, i will show the world(ok, just ppl that read this) who us CDers really are. so here it goes:
Mary:
i like to refer to her as the "lover of controversy" the "mixer." mary is a drama queen who likes things to be interesting. she loves the spotlight and being the center of attention. if things are boring, mary has no problem starting a fight or spreading a rumor to create some controversy. she is amused by fights and loves watching others get mad at each other. when she is telling a story, a minor dispute suddenly becomes a all-out brawl. we love mary because she mixes things up, she is the spice in the group. but just like Sears, she has a softer side. mary is very loving and funny. she is playfull (not in the morning, ahem-keegan's house) and is very welcoming. i love you mary of the morning, mary cool j, mary city!
how ironical that i was listening to "unwell" when i read islanders blog! another good song is Sympathy by goo goo dolls. beeka and nicole, i feel for you! don worry, just remember that you wont have to make up a day in summer! i miss you guys! here is the dealio w/ the movies tonight: the ring 7:15, 8 mile 7, um yeah, thats it, pretty crappy. if you wanna offer your house tonight for a movie that would rock my face off! ill post again when plans get worked out. everyone have a great, icy day!!
charity posted this at 11:24 AM. Hey la la, grrr! I have school today from 12-4 and then bball to who knows when! Uh,uh, not cool. Now we can not reunite! Well, Benny, I must say that we missed you yesterday and we hope all is well with ya. The hot tubbin was rockin and I must say that this was one of the best weekends of my life...but all good things must come to an end, I suppose. Well, since I am 1 million pretend dollars richer, I didn't come out all that bad! Have a great day...hey la la. -Nicole the Chameleon-
Nicole posted this at 11:10 AM.We are all reunited for who knows how long. this is utter and complete bliss. ben, we would like to say your ratings went significantly down tonight. what the jig were you doing jigghead? we are dissapointed. enough said. we are now departing to obsess of MJ (michael jackson) hehhe. Hey lalala, ratatata, lets jig out tomorra!!! we must unite everyone! someone get on that.

rebecca posted this at 8:49 PM. Well i had a brush w/ shmackness today but luckily i have come out on the other side successfully. So it was 3:30 and i was heading out the door w/ my sleepover bag to go to marys. I casually say goodbye to my parents and bolt for the door. They yell, throw themselves against the door and instantly forbid me to go out into this minor ice storm for hte rest of the night. I am in the pit of despair. Then the door bell rings. Who shoudl be at my front step but my dear friend charity. Now we are settling in to be iced in, and i must say my friends, this is a cheerful prospect. My only lament is that marys mom has foiled us and mary is not allowed to be dropped off here. What is that? well i'm out for numerous viewings of sweet home alabama..hey lala, lalala, hey lala i sing for you la hey lala, lalala, demonstrate my love for you..<----sooo great.

rebecca posted this at 4:25 PM.ok, so its 1:38 am and me(charity), nicole, and beeka are sitting here...petrified. so we played a few NICE pranx on the boys and then headed for home. however, on the way home, we encountered the devil!! this is no joke my friends, we really did see the devil tonight. i am still shaking from the horror of it. although this experience cannot accurately be explained with words, i will try my best...we are driving--hey la la--down cary parkway when we come upon a lump in the road. slowly approaching, we see a poor helpless animal---SYKE!!! its a possum, we are intrigued because we have never seen a possum, so we get a little closer. bad idea friend. so completely stopped in the middle of cary parkway, we stare at the heaving animal. we thought it was playing dead because it wasnt moving. there was a pool of blood by its feet. slowly, it turned its ugly head, looked straight at us and hissed. time froze. this was the face of SATAN!!! no joke. it was just too much to handle so beeka drives around it--we look back--it has disappeared in a matter of seconds. the histerical screaming that followed lasted a solid five minutes. it was everywhere. i swear it was in the car, crawling under our feet. we shook, we moaned from the terrible sight the rest of the way home. it wasnt just a look, that possum got to us, deep down, he FREAKED US OUT!!! this is the real and awful truth. no lie. we went to bens house and asked him to check for the possum. he said it wasnt there but it was, it was there inside of us, the memory of him is forever imprinted in our minds, haunting us! happy valentines day.

I took the day off for school, hanging out in my pj's all day watching 'A wedding story', 'A baby story', 'A dating story', 'A makeover story', over and over again. does life get any better than this? i think not, and tonight will be great w/ all my friends going out to dinner :o) who says you need a bf to enjoy valentines day?? well i'm off to cook myself a gourmet lunch, have a great day everyone!

We should most def meet for some Kate hudson this afternoon if ya'll are still up for it! It's been ages! Oh, and just in case anybody was wondering, the white berry drink thingi at Caribou got a plus from muaw ;o) Quite good, I must say... I'm thinking of writing a poem for the city dwellers for they are sadly lacking! Hmmmm..... I'm still thinking..... a most unsafe venture. By the by, I'm getting excited about V-day now! Yay! Sadly, I cannot see my CDers ( the "bliss factor" must reign victorious on a day such as that my fwiends!), but that cannot break my mood of excitement entirely for we shall be reunited again Sun. and quite possibly Sat. ( well bits and pieces of us)! If ya'll have a moment, take a look outside, cause it's a most beautiful day! Good Grief! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and spring is finally on it's way!( I did not make that up ,just so ya'll know..... I try not to be so corny normally :o) It's back to work for me, so everyone have a great day and smile:o)

Megan posted this at 12:33 PM.In anatomy today, my friend Jeff told me a riddle to keep me awake and this is how it goes... There are 10 people in a room, half of them are liars and they always lie, the other half always tell the truth. Without being able to see them or they see you, without hearing them, or them hearing you, you must pose one question to all 10 people to discover who are the truth tellers and who are the liars. What question would you ask???

Recording most definately rocked my socks all the way off ( Sorry Charity of the noontime, I just cannot bring myself to rock my face off, for you are a far braver soul than me to do such a thing!) and today has been quite a catch! Life makes me smile:o) I was discussing last night w/ Ben this concept of being happy for no reason atall, well being happy I guess just because you're alive is more like it!

rebecca posted this at 7:46 AM.Sorry ladies and gents that I have not been keeping up with my end of the bloggage...I've been trying to prioritize but to hades with that stupid idea! I mean, bloggin should be above hw, right? Well, today was another sad day but I'm trying to focus on the positive. The only problem is is that when you are sleep deprived..it is very hard to focus on the positive! For some unknown reason, it takes me like 2 hours to fall asleep nowadays and I must say that this does not work for me. I mean, when I finally crawl into my nice comfortable bed, I want to be in dreamland...not tossing and turning! And when I finally do fall asleep, I keep waking up! What is wrong with me? Bah, I must turn to drugs to solve the problem. Well chicas and non-chicas (sorry, don't speak spanish at all), I must go do hw...Oh to be homeschooled and have only a half-hour of work to do (ahem Ben ahem). Reid: hope you have a better week than expected...I'm prayin for you. Actually, I'm prayin for all of you: so be encouraged and have a great week! :) Love you all, Nicole <><

Nicole posted this at 10:08 PM. greetings urbanus(city-dwellers in latin) or actually just beeka cuz no one else blogs anymore!!! the topic for today...annoying ppl. this girl in my class is so annoying when she tells stories and they drag on and on. it drives me nuts. however, she has a boyfriend who is pretty normal and i wonder...HOW!! isnt he annoyed by her? but then i think maybe only certain ppl are annoyed with certain things. for instance, when ppl dont sing and sit in the front and just stare....this annoyes me TO THE MAX!! but certain other ppl (cough, cough) dont seem so angered. perhaps there are also universal annoyances, things that bother everyone, such as ppl who are always in your business....i think that gets on everyones nerves. if not, let me know. well, i suppose that is all. o, and if you read this blog AT ALL, please email me at charitym416@mindspring.com. i need to know for inventory purposes. chow!
charity posted this at 9:58 PM. I just had the most excruciating pre-cal class of my life. Mental note: do not stop at starbucks on the way to school and get coffee for then you are awake for your classes. Anyways, i had to leave early or death was eminent and i proceeded to sit in the bathroom for the last 15 minutes class for i would rather sit there then sit in class. Alas everyone, i cannot make it to caribou for i have 2 AP tests the next day that i must study for, but i'm going to take a "mental health day" on friday (ie: stay home from school just for the heck of it) so my pain at missing you all will be appeased. Sorry this blog is jittery and random,, my hands are shaking, my mind is spinning, i have had WAY too much caffeine. peace out.

rebecca posted this at 10:17 AM.Ok jiggas and jiggaheads, get ready for a story of a life time, this summed up my day. Well i went to work after school (for those of you that don't know i babysit for a family 2-3 times a week) the 4 kids are aged 7, 5, 2, and 4 months and i love them to death, they are a blast. So anyways, i arrived there and after the mom left the boys and i decided to bake valentines cookies and then have the ultimate wrestling match. So i stick the cookies in the oven, wrestle for awhile (they beat me) and then i head upstairds holding the baby, to wake up the 2 year old. Suddenly from upstairs i hear the most earshattering piercing shriek of an alarm that is blaring like nothing else. I rush down stairs w/ a kid on each hip and to my dismay am greeted w/ a foul cloud of gray blue smoke that enveloped me. I put the kids down, told the boys squirt guns weren't necessary, and proceeded to shut off the oven and wave a towel aimlessly at the fire alarm. Seeing as i am slightly not tall, i had to jump to wave the towel near the alarm and by accident i knocked the alarm out of its socket and it dangled from the ceiling by wires, yet it did shut off. I then opened all the doors and windows, carted down the attic fan, dressed the kids in hats and coats, and tried to fan the thick cloud of smoke out the door. (ps the burn came from a DROP of cookie dough that stuck to the bottom of the oven). In the midst of this chaos, the dad arrives home a HALF HOUR before he ever has in 4 years,and views me in this mad crazy time. Luckily he laughed, i chose to laugh instead of cry ( a definete option) and we salvaged the wreck, but boy were those trying times!!! i had to take a shower as soon as i got home as my hair and clothes REAKED of smoke. o by the by, the dad was laughing and he accidentally ran into teh dangling smoke alarm w/ his head, i about died! well those are my exploits, i'm just glad i survived. blog people blog, for the blogs are getting scarce!

rebecca posted this at 9:17 PM. like my fwiend mawy of the mowning, its been a while, so get ready for an ultra long blog. first, i appreciate the usage of my new alfabet nicole! but i must make a revision--"g" no longer makes a "j" sound, only a true "g" sound. ok, so sam, did you brush your teeth this morning? hrm, i dont even know if it worked...well, we'll see. so guys, valentines day is comin up. why does everyone hate this holiday so much, i just think that sometimes ppl. just want something, anything to complain about perhaps for lack of interesting things to say, they just complain, and valentines day happens to be thier victim. me, i dont mind it so much. hrm, i have discovered the gameshow network, not great all the time, but i do love games and ppl from the 80s never fail to make me laugh! speaking of entertainment, check out matchbox 20s new song unwell, i like it , i like it alot! geeez, i miss the weekend and i blame beeka for saturday night!! its all your fault, im just not strong enough to resist your peer pressure! the inhaler was so tempting and you did it first....ahhhh. the dilusion returns. "so do they freeze the pool over for your competitions" HA! i miss you guys so much and cant wait till caribou wednesday!! in light of valentines day comin, i will include something i got from drew's blog, its pretty cheezy but hey, isnt that what valentines day is all about!
~charity of the noon-time
ps-ben i really like that song hey la la, la la la...stuck in my head all day!
Why girls like guys
Here are a few reasons why girls like guys
1. The way they always wear their favorite cologne (which happens to be the one that you bought them for their birthday)
2. The way the run their hands through our hair
3. The way that they look at you and you want to die right then and there
4. The way that they casually put their arms around you
5. The way that they kiss away your tears
6. ...and the way that they then get mad at how they can't make your problem go away
7. The way they show off around their friends, even though you both know that you would love them even if they missed a basket or two
8. How there eyes light up at the result of 3 hours of preparing for your date
9. How they always know just what to say to make you blush
10. How they sometimes think that they know just what to say to make you feel better, even if you think that it is the worst thing that they could say
11. The way they hold you close when you are cold
12. How they look at you when your mad at them and all your anger melts away
13. How they always smile when you are together
14. The way that they always let you win any game that you play together
15. ... and then when you point that out to them they pretend to not know what you are talking about
16. The way that they smile at you
17. The way that you feel when they call to apologize after you had a big fight
18. The way that they say I love you
19. The way that they say I love you in front of their friends
20. The way that they touch and hold you so gently, like they are afraid that they will break you
21. The way that they kiss you
22. The way that they open their arms to you when you are crying
23. The way that they never admit that you hurt them
24. The way that they try not to cry when they are afraid that they are losing you
25. The way that they think that they are your big protector, even though you think that you are theirs
26. The way that they say I miss you, even though they hate to admit it
27. The way that you miss everything about them when they are gone
28. The way that they remember your special moments, or aniversaries when you think that they forgot
29. The way that they apologize when they do forget
30. The way that they comfort you when you have a bad day
31. The way that you can't wait to get home and tell them all about your day
32. The way that they write you love letters even if they think that it is uncool
33. How they would rather be with you then their friends sometimes
34. How you want to hug them even though they are all sweaty
35. Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them... it matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without a trace of sound, you know that your own life is inevitabley comsumed within the rhythimic beatings of his heart. We love them for a million reasons, No paper would do it justice. It is a thing a feeling, that is only felt. Why guys like girls
WELL here's a few reasons why guys like girls

2. The way their heads always find the right spot on
our shoulder
3. How cute they look when they sleep
4. the ease in which they fit into our arms

everything is right in the world

though you know that an hour later....
16. the way they kiss when you do something nice forthem
17. The way they kiss you when you say "I love you'
18. actually... just the way they kiss you...
19. the way they fall into your arms when they cry
20. then the way they apologize for crying over
something that silly
21. The way they hit you and expect it to hurt
22. then the way apologize when it does hurt ..(even
though we don't admit it!)
23. the way they say "I miss you"
24. the way you miss them
25. the way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesn't hurt her anymore.....Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them... it matters not. Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you. When you look them in the eyes,
traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound, you know that your own life is inevitable consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons, No paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart. A feeling. Only felt.

Me and #arity made the great salad...we definitely had the hardest job sinse we had to mingle AND keep a straight fase while doing so.

rebecca posted this at 2:55 PM.whoa, big game tonight--lee senior. we lost. it was sad. one of their players got a full basketball scholarship to wake forest. he was a beast. i am still in awe of his mad skills. anyways, did anyone see the thing on michael jackson last night...man he is a psyco!!! it was so frikin scary, and the sad part is that he is convinced that his behavior is acceptable/normal. weeeiiird! o and another event to discuss, i heard today that a group of crazy mo' fo's are trying to get some of the letters removed from the alphabet. suposably(joey word from friends) this will encourage phonetics. at first i thought this was reeree, but the more i think, the more i discover that some of our letters are actually pretty useless. if i were to remove letters they would be c, q, and x. the "f" sound of ph would no longer exist. and the sound "ch" will be expressed by #. so, im sur by now this is most def getting boring so i will kwietly leave you. ekspekt to see me at the widows lun# tomorow.-ha that was fun! peace~ #arity

PS Oh and I'd also like to say that I'm not so upset about being grounded cuz I hate my family...I just miss you guys terribly and miss being able to hang out with you (oh and if I look extremely pale tomorrow, it's because "I ain't seen the sunshine in three (or more)"dern" days""--Picture by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock)....I'mout like a fat kid in dodgeball.
Nicole posted this at 12:28 PM. Gosh i frustrate myself to no end. I"m such a weak person. Today in ap lit, my teacher brought up the discussion would you die for your faith,, and my whole class said no except me. Then my teacher proceeded to make this fool proof arguement that If God is a God of forgiveness, then if you denied Him at a heated moment so that you could carry on in your life as a missionary, God would see your hearts intent and forgive you. ahhh i sounded like a bumbling monkey next to his arguement. I just wish i was really eloquent and very convicting in what i say, but i know i'm not. Plus i was just trying to wake up and I got schmacked w/ that arguement. It is so frustrating to fail at something you try so hard at. And since i'm the only christian in my grade, i feel the need to witness to EVERYONE which is realy daunting. Pray for me if you ever think of it..
On a lighter note, i'm really looking forward to cooking tomorrow, its my most fav thing to do. Reid you are welcome to join us. I have my doubts as to bens capabilites but we shall see. I make a lot of meals and stuff for my family but i've never had to "pressure" cook for a fancy lunch. it'll be fun though. Well i'm out like a fat kid in dodgeball.

It just started! The madness has begun! Alas, i must be off like...... well ask Mark, he's got bag of 'em ;o) Anywheres, yes, anyone who is interested, come to the movie tonight! Call Reid or me, actually if anyone gets bored today, you can give me a call:o) Share the boredom.... I'll be back!

PS-have i ever told you my english teacher calls me charlie. i kinda like it. hrm, that was random.
charity posted this at 3:15 PM. today i will attempt to rhyme everything: beware, this will most def be random.... Caribou, woo hoo hoo, i have something fun to do, but o wait, i'll be late, because dinner is on my plate. today was lame, i have no brain, every class felt the same, but thats alright, i got in a fight, with a jerk and i won,,,alright!!! I'm praying for reid, i'm glad hes not on weed, hes a nice guy who does good deeds, well my brain hurts, I'm out of spurts (of poetry), and my fav cartoon is the smurfs!! ahhh i'm sorry but the last phrase i could not think of anything that rhymes w/ spurts. i am a failure :o) well can't wait to see you all at caribou, until then i am just practicing my cooking skills...

rebecca posted this at 2:14 PM.Gosh i can't wait for this weekend, it will be sooooo good especially saturday night sleepover. Just a side note, precal and ADD do not blend. Today i was taking a test in precalculus and someone left their homecoming pictures on teh floor so i picked htem up and looked at them, which got me thinking about prom, which got me thinking about "She's all taht" which got me thinking about movies, which led to "Just married" and "how to lose a guy in 10 days" which i want to see, which led to saturday night, which led to prankage (hehehe) which led to youth group and before i knew it, i had 5 minutes left and i forgot how to do a2 +b2=c2.....ehh o well but i most def did NOT do well on that test. Not like i care. i just feel like school is such a small portion of life. who needs it anyways?? well that is my cheery and random post, its kinda stupid, eh o well.

PS- what is the delio for the weekend/sleepover situations?
charity posted this at 7:22 PM. H to the izzey...Sheesh...being grounded bites...I feel so left out of all these pranks and am saddened by the thought that I might miss something. :( Oh well, today was alright...I get to leave early for a game to Fayteville but this isn't so great b/c we get back late...bah! Oh and Reid: I'm praying for you :) And I was given the affirmative by my parents...just tell me when. Oh and welcome back to the blog Megan...we missed you lots...man, I'm just thinking about how long it will be before I can see you all again...SUNDAY! Bah...grounding surely does suck. But I got food to eat, a place to stay, and friends to love...I really can't complain, I figure. Welp, here's the real score for the pranks: Islanders: 3, City-dwellers: 3...I'd say this is being fairly generous to the Islanders considering all of our pranks were original, nice but very humorous, and totally unexpeted...you totally copped out on the car thing. Well...bye...my home-ridden sadness continues...Nicole
Nicole posted this at 2:12 PM. Sister Act 2!!!! All the way!!!! Great stuff! Hi to everyone! I just wanted to thank my CDers ( especially! I love you guys!), my islanders and the other folk who have been so encouraging and supportive these past few days! All of ya'll have been such a blessing to me personally.... I just wanted ya'll to know that! Just to let you know in case any of you haven't been reading the guys blog .. ....life doesn't suck! Life is an amazing journey filled with the good and the bad and it's only because of the grace of God that it all ends in his glory and our good! I have to scoot to work, but grrls: please give me a call about tonight:o) God bless the Cders, Islanders, etc.!!!!
Luv, Megan
Megan posted this at 11:02 AM. Wow reid, i totally admire you for your honesty. It probably was not easy to blog so honestly and be so vunerable to us all, i really appreciate that about you. You can be sure that you have a heck of a support group w/ all of us. We are all praying for you like crazy and will do anything to help you, just let us know. we love you! on to a lighter note---us women do not choose to freak out, pull random stupid pranks at any given moment. Instead every move is cold and calculated. we are like leapords, crouching low, waiting for the kill. ahahah, weird analogy but so true. Watch your back, that is all i have to say. However i'm a bit hesitant to go to caribou tomororw night as it will be just me and mary as the only womenfolk. have mercy on us, fellows...lets not unleash any pranks tomorrow as mary and i are weak, feeble and helpless women creatures. WEll i must go to my next class, the highlight of my day is getting a 98 on my first attempted paper on love. I tried not to be mushy and apparently suceeded so i now view myself as a guru on love, i'm open to dishing out any sort of advice,, even if i'm lacking in that department myself :o) "ya don't have to bite the doughnut to know it's sweet" what movie is that from?

charity posted this at 4:56 PM. ya know when you have one of those days were you would rather sleep 30 extra minutes than look presentable? i most def had that day today. I did not even look into the mirror until 5th period and then i shrieked/laughed at the hideous sight. My outfit is soo random and uncordinated, i have not even brushed my hair today, and my shoes clash w/ the whole ensemble. ahahaha. i wish you all could see me, it is quite comical for others, quite humiliating for me. Eh o well. I'm looking forward to caribou wednesday, serving the widows saturday and mad sleepover saturday night. Any suggestions for the location? i suggest megan or charity b/c we will probably sleepover at marys after our valentines day dinner. hehehe i can't wait for that.
Before i leave here is a glimpse of my life at this school w/ my ultra lame grade : "Dude this weekend was craazzy, we had shots of tequila in brians car and soo many people hooked up.why didn't you come?" hellooooooooooo have i ever been interested in that stuff. i get high on jesus (hahaha a mrs. calhoun quote). well guys ttyl.

Oh, and guys, I bring sad news...I am grounded (officially) for at least the next week...no IM, no activities, no Caribou, no after-youth-group outings...this is not off the heezy-fo-sheezy! It rocks my face way back on until my face is sinking in. I will be most def house broken in the next week and who knows how much longer. Oh well, life goes on...although I will be very sad if I miss a sleepover this weekend!! Mary Cool J: I hope you are feeling better :) Just remember: we can always marry rich if all else fails. Well, tata all...try not to miss me too much this week. :( I miss dear, dear Roofus. "All my pride is all I have" "Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have!" ah, so good. Oh to be JLo......NKe.
Nicole posted this at 12:42 PM. ok, ok, you islanders earn points for last night. however, "sammy j" i think your point calculations are way off...hey arent you suposed to be smart? anyways, although the syrup was def creative, it took approximately 12.5 minutes to clean up, while im pretty sure there is still glitter in your room and ben's car. beeka, i dunno, the car pranking ideas just keep rolling in, there are just so many posibilities. we will see. anyways, i have decided that there are three things i have not been doing enough of lately: sleeping, skating, and homework. eh, who needs it. mary cool j, what is going on with bible study tuesday? im off to latin class. "time is of the essence, why spend it alone"--haha, ultra lame quote from my new favorite song!! peace.
PS- you guys get next to no points for the milk cuz NONE of us drank it!!
charity posted this at 12:06 PM.oo our blog is working now, that makes me happy,, its the little things in life. Well how goes it everyone...it has been very long! The guys prank was so very commendable, very original guys. However i would now like to one up the prankage level. SInce both sets of cars have been gotten, and they are somewhat of a cop out since they are an easy target. Let us now leave cars and houses out of the prankage equation. It is mind against mind, body against body now. All attacks should go directly on the personages involved, and let me jsut warn you, The city dwellers are most def up to this challenge, we jsut don't know if the islanders can hack it, that is our only concern. What do you thing jiggheads?
Sunday, February 02, 2003
On a lighter note, something pleasurably discovered today is singing dialogue. Will and i partook in this festivity of singing our conversations for at least an hour and it was great fun. I encourage all to try it. Well i must go to bed to prepare for school. farewell all, and islanders, i would sleep w/ one eye open from now on....dumdumdumdum. I leave you with some of my favorite jokes..
What makes men chase women they have no intention of marrying?
The same urge that makes dogs chase cars they have no intention of driving.
What did God say after creating man?
I can do better.

charity posted this at 9:22 PM. Guys i feel soo much better after talking to jeff. And i just want to encourage all you out there that are soo shocked by this news. We shouldn't focus on reid b/c believe it or not he is most def one of many hurting people in our youth group. We can use this thing as a wake up call to get ourselves together and create a secure, loving enviroment in youth group that everyone feels loved in. Jeff was saying the key here is not to focus in on just reid and how we can help him, but we need to have the objected of being there for everyone. I can't WAIT to see all you CDers tomorrow night where we can just let loose and relax after a rough week. Tty guy then!

charity posted this at 10:23 PM. Guys i'm sorry but i may just not post much the next couple of days. I just have nothing to say, i feel that everything i could say is so insignificant to what is happening outside my little sheltered life. I just know that if there ever was a time for us to come together as friends and as a youth group, now is it. And pray, because that is the only place that true peace comes from. God can totally rock our foundation sometimes to get out attention, and now is it. Don't turn away though, turn to him. I'm praying for all of you...

rebecca posted this at 3:24 PM.okay boys for your information it is officially called "sHmackdown" (much cooler than sMackdown) and all i have to say is hit us with your best shot. (actually, i am just talking big, so for this reason, i have composed a list of rules):
Tuesday, January 28, 2003
1. nothing that involves permanent damage
2. do nothing that cant be un-done
3. no egging or rolling of houses (the parents would fo sho kill us)
4. DO NOT TOUCH MY MOMS NEW CAR!!
if everyone can abide by these rules, then let the games begin. "watch your back or you'll get shmacked"
charity posted this at 9:55 PM. I would like to set the records straight: I did not write on Ben's car...I stood beside Mary when she was writing on it but I did not even touch his car. I think I know...I was there. Thank you for your time.

Nicole posted this at 9:13 PM. Hello: I'm here with my friend, Edie, from school...don't worry guys, she is trustworthy and I have only told her about this great blogness. Well, today was alright...long and boring but alright. Beeka is sick :( She sounds awful...get better, dear sister. :) Welp, I must say that I love Ben's slogan...so original and thought provoking, huh? I've got to be off to my game but have a great day and everybody better come tomorrow to Caribou! ALL OF YOU! It is sooo much fun and it rocks my knees off....eh? we needed a new phrase. Put that in your milk and drink it. Cya -Nicole <><-
Nicole posted this at 4:17 PM.Welp, I got through another Monday and in response to Sam's question...Nope, don't love Mondays. But it was rather delicious that we got to wear pajamas today except that I was just too comfortable and it definitely took away from my studying skills...in the words of Mary: eh? (and this is pronounced like it looks...not "a") So today, the image that kept on running through my head as I was "working" was Zach running into the woods with our shoes...and oh by the way: my ankle hurts from the massive blister from wearing somebody else's shoes and I have a chumongous bruise on my back courtesy of Danny and Richard dropping me after stripping me of my shoes. Oh, and since we are on this subject...Ben: bring it! I'm not scared of your petty threats! And though you feel like an injustice has been done...get over it! Suck it up...b/c it ain't ova! Bring it on..we are ready and willing to take whatever you have for us like women. We can handle it. I mean, after all, in the city, you get used to these attacks and hardships. Bwa ha ha...

Mary posted this at 10:39 PM. geez. something i hate more than a mo fo is CHEEZINESS!! my sis had to write a love poem for school today and asked me for help. i had to decline cuz that stuff just bugs me to death!! and its not just the romantical kind of cheese, lately ive been subjected to a whole bunch of graduation/accomplishment/life goal kinds of cheese!! at the scholarship thing every time i turned around i was being fed some kind line that made me wanna puke. neways, enough of that, i mean sometimes i guess its okay, in movies i dont mind so much, and maybe if you had a boyfriend/girlfriend (whatever your preference) you would at least have a good excuse but, ahhh. its driving me nuts! well, right now that is the least of my worries cuz we soo got you guys last night!! it was truly a stroke of brilliance. well, im out like a fat kid in dodge-ball. ~charity
"Watch Your Back or You'll Get Shmacked"--i think thats the first time i've used capital letters correctly
charity posted this at 8:53 PM. A couple points need to be made in response to the false statements in the islanders blog. 1) thank you for spelling my name right seeing as reid still cannot even though i'm known him since preschool 2) Jeff and Sid are both guys siding w/ the guys side on who won..coincidence? i think not . Jeff wouldn't side with a girl even if he was being threatened w/ the discontinuation of diet coke 3) ben won the valiance award w/ his injured foot, so i must agree w/ that 4) it ain't over yet...
rebecca posted this at 6:20 PM. Well Islanders and City-dwellers, i must prop my eyelids open long enough to write this entry. Last night was crazy/dilusional, yet i feel that us girls still have the upper hand in the whole war business. Our targets of warfare were planned, creative and well executed, whereas you guys stole our feeble shoes out of mere desperation and lack of ingenuity. I must say, your prank was quite lame and dissapointing (i can say that now that my shoes are safely on my feet.) But let us put all that behind us and continue on as chums. Anyways, today is pajama day at my school and i have never been more comfortable. However my pajamas have put me in a dreamlike state of bemuddled thoughts and daydreams and no focus whatsoever on school work. But i'm ok with that. By the by, our new catchy vocab phrase is now "Put that in your milk and drink it". This phrase was inspired by the hoodlums doings yesterday as well as Austin Powers. This phrase may be used to replace "Boooyah!" and it is quite satisfying, let me tell ya! Well i must sign off and return to the humdrum of class. Farewell to all, farewell! and don't forget Caribou on Wednesday. If you have never come, nows your chance to start! all are welcome!
-rebecca
ps- I must correct reid false blog statement. Luckily yesterday i took a small sip of the milk but seeing as it tasted like dead feet, i threw the rest away. I definetly did not down a glass. Your plan was thwarted.

Nicole posted this at 5:10 PM.Well, I was stuck inside the house all day today (mostly doing chores and homework, blah!) and I am still doing alright! :) It's amazing...I would have most def thought that after a day with no friends, no CDers, no Islanders, nobody but me and my family, I would be lost and depressed but nope! And I heard my favorite song (the one by JLo and LL Cool J, of course) TWICE today! WOO WOO! I don't care what Beeka and Sam say, me and Mary know it's crazy greatness! Ah, it just made my day and rocked my world. Oh, to be JLo. But right now, I'm just content being: Nikki from the blog <><

Nicole posted this at 10:08 PM. who would have guessed that the day that i have been dreading for about two months has actually turned out to be fun? so i got up at 6 to go to this interview which wasn't scary at all. then we raced off to wakefeild high for the cheer competition. since the first time we ran through the whole routine was when we competed, we didnt expect much. we won best dance trophy and 2nd place overall!!!! the best part was, we beat green hope!! then afterwards, we hit the sales at the mall and i came out with new clothes out the wazoo!! such a great day!! oh and amidst my travels, i came across a place called "wang's tailors"--cracked me up. well, gotta go, my dad makes a mean fish dinner, ever since their big fishing trip, we eat fish just about every other day...hey, im sure not complainin. I LOVE FISH<>< peace out.
charity posted this at 7:05 PM. Well Cders this is my theme verse for this semester... "Count it all joy my brothers when you are faced with trials and temptations, for the testing of your faith develops perseverance" James 1:2-10. Through this, everything "rough" that happens in my life, i will only try to see it as Gods will and thus it is a good and perfect thing. We'll see how this philosophy goes but i have great hope for it. I have come recently to the realization that this is probably one of the best times of my life. I'm living at home so i don't have to worry about rent/bills etc, yet i have pretty much all the freedom i want b/c i'm 18 and my parents have the philosophy of "she's on her own now". I can spend time with my family and w/ friends, schoolwork is light, i'm working everyweek but not a strenous work schedule so i can enjoy an income w/ no real stresses. I've had a long relationship, gone through all the first kiss/first date etc deals and now i can be single and enjoy time w/ my friends and not have to worry about being bogged down. Wow my life is pretty darn good. Charity and i have lately only noticed the down side to our lives and it was gettinga little depressing. I encourage you womenfolk to count your blessings b/c i was really bummed today so i made a list and now i realize how blessed i really am. well sorry for such a sappy post....megan i hope SAT's went well, charity i hope that your interviews went well, mary i hope your tournament went well. Luv you all!

rebecca posted this at 6:27 PM. hello all. yes it is saturday and yes, i am in the middle of interviews. this thing is crazy. you go for an interview, sit around and wait forever, go for another interview...blah, blah, blah. so i have skipped out and come home between interviews to get ready for cheerleading comp. so now my hair is in some mad-crazy curls and i still have another interview!! the last ppl i had were the worst interviewers ever!! they had like 3 questions for me and then just sat there and looked at each other in complete silence!! very strange/awkward. whatever. well, wish me luck, ill need it...our cheerleading routine sux a fat one. oh, and ill call ya tonight if the sleepover thing is on. peace.
charity posted this at 12:06 PM.The ultimate shmack down has occured since I have school today when there are 611 schools in North Carolina that are closed today. But not our unique, great, college prepatory school! We are special and must achieve excellence in negative degrees temperatures. (Can you sense the sarcasm dripping from my writing?) Well, I was determined this morning to try to make the best of the situation up until the point my mom says "Nicole, may I speak to you in my room?" These famous words have been uttered many a time to me and it always means trouble and tears. Basically, I have failed once again in my responsibilities...but this time I wasn't mad at my parents but I was really upset with myself that I keep on disappointing them. And the fact that they are being so nice and not grounding me (just taking away my car privileges this weekend) makes it even worse. I feel like a failure...but I will try to be positive and tomorrow's a new day! Have fun not having school and feel sorry for those of us who do!

Nicole posted this at 11:31 AM. well i'm sitting here at school, wearing gloves b/c it is so friggin cold, trying to type out this blog which is near impossible. There is this guy here that is the meanest, most rudest, most sarcastic person i have ever met. I cannot stand him and we never get along. yet today he chooses to pick several fights w/ me in class and i finally told him off b/c he was being so mean, exposing some secrets that the rest of the class didn't know about him. Did i feel bad at the time? no definetly not. Do i feel bad now? no because that guy is the epitamy of a mofo and he most def had it coming to him, however my mouth constantly gets me into trouble w/ its sarcasm. As i am too old now to wash my mouth out w/ soap, i just am left w/ some remorse at my sharp tongue. Therefore i now resolve to attempt to learn graciousness, to bite back sarcastic comments (however perfect and glorious they may be) and to just learn to keep my mouth shut on all occasions. There, now that that resolution is out of my system, i can now look forward to marys tonight w/ megan, mary and hopefully charity--->charity check your cell phone message. Peace out homies!

rebecca posted this at 10:56 AM.why, why, WHY!!! as you are reading this i am either preparing for or at school. Why? you ask, well b/c my headmaster is a freakin jigghead who loves nothing better than whitening his teeth and tossing his beetles hair cut. Get a life, buddy, and stop screwing up mine. On a better note, i find that it is quite enjoyable driving on ice. the spontanuity, the thrill of chugging along and all of a sudden spiraling out of control, very risque i must say. Although the ice is the reason my dad wouldn't let me drive to marys to go hot tubbing, talk about a schmack upside the head. Today was very fun though. All i did was clean and bake. if i could just bake all day i would be content. Its so fun to try new recipes, make up random concoctions and plan menus. To you guys who think "of course she likes that, she is a women" i am right now give you a withering rolling of the eyes. Mock as you will, cooking is my catharsis. The only probably is at the end of my genius trifles, i'm left covered in flour w/ an extremly messy kitchen. Eh doesn't bother me so much as it does my mom. Well now that i have spread the love of cooking i leave you w/ a challenge--learn to cook a new thing everyday. that goes for you guys too,, you never know when you may need it, even on the island!

Ben: I love your words of wisdom. I was actually pondering today why we worry so much...I mean, God will supply everything and if you think about it in the big picture: He's all we really need anyways, right? Well, hope this doesn't sound to sappy. Love you all! :) Please don't hate...brush off the haters (haha Ry).
Nicole posted this at 7:30 PM. Bonjour mon amies! Isn't snow just glorious? No school, no work, no problems...I love it. Well, today I slept in til about 10:30 (ah!) and then I got up, watched some Gilmore Girls' episodes I missed and then did some chores and am now watching "Lyle the Kindly Viking" with Will (great movie, by the by...you should all see it). Well, I was hoping that we could all get together or something today but my sister, Beeka, informed me that this probably can not happen since people might not be able to drive! Man, why don't we all just take the metro? :) So, I hope that we all have gotten this animosity between the Islanders and the City-dwellers out of our systems...I don't like when people are feeling hatred although I still side with my city-dweller homies...I love the Islanders though. I would like to quote something from "Anne of Ingleside" that made me think of the Islanders: "Ships are like weemen, son...they've got to be understood and loved or they'll never give up their secrets. And even at that ye may think ye know a ship from stem to stern, inside and out, and ye'll find she's still hanging out on ye and keeping her soul shut on you. She'd fly from you like a bird if ye let go your grip on her." Ah, so true, so true. We're hard to tame. Welp, have a good one~Nic to the izzole~
Nicole posted this at 1:48 PM. hello girls, boys, and hermaphrodites.(i crack myself up!) well, although we are out of school, i am not allowed to drive anywhere b/c the roads are too bad. a slight bummer but i shure as heck dont care b/c we have NO SCHOOL!!! ahh, the freedom is overwhelming! hopefully if this stuff doesnt clear out, the scholarship interviews and the cheerleading competition will be canceled, leaving my mother absolutely no excuse to deny the sleepover on saturday night! pray my CDers. also if this snow keeps coming down like it is, i see definite sleddige in our future!! well gimme a call or email to set something up. word to CDs, Islanders, and dont forget the hermaphrodites!!

We missed you...no more excuses. And for the rest of you, start comin! It will most assuredly rock your faces off. Well today nothing really special happened...although tomorrow it will snow like a mofo (monkey foot, of course ;) ). I would like to say that I am continually shmacked by men...ahh men, what are they good for? Just kidding, guys...what would I do w/o you? And I would like to give mad props to myself for not being grounded! Go me...this is quite an accomplishment and I feel quite good about it. Wow, the tank is running on empty for thoughts...except, that we better have at least a 2 hour delay tomorrow...and I would also just like to say that Jess is hot as hades and I'm gonna commit suicide if he leaves at the end of the season! Not really but I will come mighty close! Well have a stupendous day...love you all! *~*NICOLE*~*
Nicole posted this at 10:14 PM. I must give Charity prpps for her shoutouts. I love reading everyone else's blog but i think it would be better if everyone could invent their own vocab. Our vocab has taken sweat, tears, blood and numerous moments of dilusion to create and we hold it sacred. In now way do we use this language flippantly. We are not mad we just encourage you all to get your "created juices flowing" and invent your own wacked out lingo. On the flip side, caribou was rocking although we miss you all that didnt come. I must say that lately it has come to all of the CD's attention that all of our moms are in the same bible study. This equals bad/schmacked/much scheming on their part. we are soooooo dead. And i'm desperate for a solid location for this saturday nights illegally rockin operation...word to that. Well i must go so i can devote more time to talking to charity and mary. Let it snow, you mo fo, let it snow!!!

come up with your own lingo man!! i know the blog craze has caught on throughout the youthgroup and yes, we did copy the islanders but...we pride ourselves with trying to bring the latest, greatest catch phrases to this blog. its not like we have a copywright or anything on "shmackdown" or "mo' fo'" but, please, try to bring originality to your own blogs...we dont like impostahs!! peace!
charity posted this at 9:40 PM. i must say aye, aye to bens opinion on prom. For so long i have felt that prom is such a big hoopla that all it can do is dissapoint you. Last year it was lame, and although i htink it will be kinda fun this year, i just don't see why people are preparing for it now. O well, but you guys should definetly cook up something, and us girls can help, either help cook, make desert or whatnot. Just let us know, we are all on board w/ it. But my house can most def NOT be used,, too many siblings lurking in corners and what not. THe last comment on the boy vs girl contreversy is that i do believe you guys initially spark hte mistreatment by making rude comments, being inconsiderate, etc.... just think about it. well i'm off to get fitted for cap and gown, ahh how that bites!! sorry, i don't have a lot to say today.

rebecca posted this at 10:16 AM. I'm back! Yay! Ok to address the issue at hand...... I've been asked by my fellow Cds to give some input on this query into the mind of the guy folks. So, here it is: I have to say that Ben made a very good point although i think that most of the grrls had other things in mind when they wrote what they did. I think guys though, like grrls (yeah gals too) have to just suck it up sometimes and be nice no matter what! I give allowances to guys though, if a grrls shmacks you, then you don't have to be nice, but you still should try to be decently polite(mind you,I didn't say you had to although I have a sneaking suspicion that the shmacking(major misuse of the word, I know) would stop if you were.)! Who knows..... maybe if it were an all around thing instead of one-sided niceness( no fingers pointed to Cds or islanders, for it comes from both sides) then no one would have need to discuss the issue of common kindness. Wow, sadly those are my deep thoughts of the day.... anywheres, I love all of you guys and I know that what is construed as unkind is mostly teasing and not meant that way at all:o) Oh, and note to guys and gals: when the right person comes along ya'll will be ready because it'll be someone elses timing and His timing is always perfect! See ya'll tonight! I can't wait! God bless the Cd's and the Islanders! Luv, Megan

Mary posted this at 9:40 PM. Word to Mary and Beeka and Charity: I most definitely voice my agreement on the whole women thing and may I just say Mary that you put it so perfect and eloquently? You rock my world, my friend. And guys, don't worry: I don't hate (brush off the haters) I am just agreeing in general. We hope that you like hanging out with us and are not your backups because we love hanging out with y'all. I would like to share that today in History we were talking about urbanization and such and my teacher said "You could call them city-dwellers" and that's when I actually started paying attention, so I look down at some sheet we were working on and a question was "Why do city-dwellers look down on rural folk?" I started laughing so hard, my teacher thought I was being disrespectful and glared at me! It was quite funny! So I ask you: Why do city-dwellers look down on rural folk? I leave you to come up with your own answers...Nicole <><
Nicole posted this at 9:11 PM. we have started reading a rere book called canterbury tales in english(if i recall rightly, this was the book that forced reid to walk around school in costume) anyways, fully expecting to hate it, i read the Wife of Bath today(spark notes of couse, not the real book pcha-like i have time for that) and found a most true quote in it. for all CDers who know my prediciment, read this, it is me exactly: "Women... always desire what is forbidden them, and run away from whatever pursues or is forced upon them." why is this, the islanders and just boys in general would like to know? well, at the time, i am trying to figure it out myself. if you share this awfull disease holla at me. in the meantime, i think i speak for all CDers when i say, we dont wanna be your backups boys!! i like hanging out with you but dont wanna be the perosn you hang out with when you are bored or have nothing "better" to do. well, sorry for my ranting, its been a long day. ben, props for the prom-alternative idea. if you want me to help plan or anything, im up for it. atention all cders participating in beach trip: begin brainstorming a coo adult to chaperone us...looks like the parentals dont have enough faith to just let us go alone. hrm, i just got back from a basketball game at 9:52! hello!! i got up at 5 this morn to skate, had a superlong cheer practice after school till 5:30 and then had to be back at school for a game at 6:45!! wack? most def!! i am beat and have developed a loss of voice/incredible throat pain recently. every time i swallow i feel like im a sword swallower int he circus or something. except that instead of the sword going smoothly in and out, it feels like the point of it gets stuck on the way down, slowly ripping more and more flesh away from my esophogus!! sorry for the graphics, but geez it hurts!! well, this is way long so i gotta make like shpandex and stretch(hrm, not a good analogy) peace out. cmmize@mindspring.com
charity posted this at 6:37 PM. in addition to becca's post.......even if this WAS meant to start a war......the city has nuclear weapons and we could wipe out the island in a matter of seconds.......so there.
Mary posted this at 5:10 PM. I totally agree w/ mary, she couldn't have said it better. Us CD's have given this a lot of thought. The mindset of guys has switched drastically over the past decade. Before it would be all courting the girls, respecting them, actually valuing their opinion. Now the attitude is "what can girls do for me" "how can they please me and flaunt themselves for my attention" and also you guys totally rag on all girls like a bunch of gossips. soo sad. Yet i do believe that all the guys in our youth group are not without hope, they just need to expect more of themselves and not succomb to society's expectations of the dating world. I know us CD's hold each other to high standards and we expect them same from ya'll. these posts from mary and i are not meant to start a war or make anyone mad, we just are expressing our opinions.
-rebecca
rebecca posted this at 5:07 PM. Its time that we addressed the islanders' many issues with women. first of all, you guys are not mature or serious enough to handle a relationship. you treat women like crap! all the womanhater jokes and whatnot are funny but if you guys honestly feel that way about women then you need therapy!!! there's so much about women that you guys are missing. i know we seem confusing sometimes but you should at least make an effort!! you guys focus way too much on a woman's looks! i'm so disgusted! maybe once you guys start appreciating women you'll be able to get the one of your dreams. in conclusion, all i have to say is women do not foil men! MEN foil themselves!!!! now grow up!!!!!
Mary posted this at 4:55 PM. Yeah, it would also be helpful, dear charity, to have a cell phone on which you can actually dial the numbers 3,4,5,6,8,9 and the call button. moving on......nothing really special happened today at all...school's still boring....dustin's still beautiful....life is predictable. after spending all weekend with my beloved CD's its hard to go back!!! compared to you guys, my school friends are just like eh... on the down side, Todd was absent today. hmmmmm pretty sketchy considering i just saw him yesterday (ahhh good times!) oh and i'm sorry to say that i cant come to caribou tomorrow! i have a wrestling match at 7 o'clock. well......have fun and dont forget about me!!! i'll try to catch up with you guys for something saturday night. alright peace guys!!! **Mary** "Dont discriminate..........hate EVERY mofo in your way!" (HAH my new phrase!! so good so good!)
Mary posted this at 4:43 PM. Okay, let's clear some misunderstanding up: Charity--> memo to you: Yes it is helpful to have a cell phone in the car when we are wandering lost in the dark in an unknown neighborhood but if you don't know the number of the house you are staying at or anybody else's number but random ones...it does not help!! :) This I know. Beeka--> okay yes, the phrase was not original but it was not yours who's originality I stole...It was Reed Berger's (no not from church, from school...and yes I do know two "reed bergers") so mad props are due to him! :) Well, anywho, I would also like to say that I love Megan and that I hope that no feelings were hurt over the weekend and I miss you!! We all will definitely have to get together this weekend pre-Super bowl party. And word to Beeka about the Homecoming dance...I have a date but it is gonna be way awkward considering I don't really know him well at all. But I'm having a good attitude...yea. And I would also like to say that God works everything out perfectly: the last three weeks, it has worked out perfectly (even when it's shouldn't have) for me to go to Caribou...including, random last-minute changes of practice times (which worked out perfectly) and games being bumped up in time for me to go! YEAH! I'm siked to the izzay (I know that this doesn't make any sense to say "siked to the izzay"...it's just fun to say). Please come, guys, even if you have never been before, it is off the hook and I want you to come (what else do you need to know?). Well, I hope all will be there and some will not fall victim to sudden lapses of sleep (hmm...who could that be?). Well love you all and please try not to drink&drive, roll through stop signs, jaywalk, drive after nine, listen to satan's music, speak foul language (such as tish, and mofo), and please don't egg people's cars...uh, uh not cool (haha for those of you who don't know, 11 laws were broken in the making of the best film ever). Till we meet again: ~~Nicole to the izzo~~
Nicole posted this at 2:24 PM. well i am in a royally bad/fatigued mood. School is the pits these days w/ a dance coming up. i hate this time. After going to the last 5 homecoming dances, i have decided i do not want to go this year, seeing as i'm kinda tired of all the dressing up/date thing. so expensive and half the time they are not fun. However the rest of my school is caught up in this dancing frenzy and i find i must seek out numerous alternate routes to avoid being cornered by a fellow and asked to the dance. Last night i unsuspectingly picked up hte phone w/o thinking and when i recognized the boys voice on the phone asking for me, i then disguised my voice and said that "rebecca is not at home can i take a message". But before you feel sorry for the poor guys, do not. For i am the one that has to walk in the cold around buildings, hide in bushes, and never answer the phone again to avoid being asked... so miserable and so difficult. however perhaps i will enjoy a brief respite from these wanderings as mayhap a snow day will give me a break. One can only hope. Anyways, i gg to my next class. hope everyone has a good day and don't forget CARIBOU TOMORROW AT 7!!!

rebecca posted this at 10:17 AM.ok. here is some advice/rules for anyone who rides in the car with me:
Monday, January 20, 2003
1. i have no idea where i am going 95% of the time
2. therefore, tell me where to turn! and not .5 seconds before we have to turn!
3. when giving directions, answer questions with a yes or a no...not "do we turn at the next one" "sure"--not cool!
4. when being chased by boys with firewoks in a strange neighborhood late at night, always carry a cell phone....that works!
i suggest you review these guidelines before asking me for a ride. haha. just kidding you guys. hey, we got there. cya!

charity posted this at 9:43 PM. well guys i'm so completely and entirely exhausted, words cannot express it. and i still have to move all the furniture and clothes back into my newly painted room TONIGHT! however last night was so much fun, i cannot even pen my emotions concerning it. i will instead write short brief highlights... Making the movie, "work it", ben popping up at the mention of lesbians, panser the pup, egging bens car, mad screams, breaking every imaginable lame law, being criminals, shooting fireworks and reid, the hermaphrodite convo w/ mark (very enlightening), mary talking in her sleep, piling into one bed for warmth, Mary and i's dilusional/exhausted moment in Nordstroms, charity missing every street possible,,, and sooo much more. Guys that was soo much fun. i love when the islanders and the citydwellers bond together and do things, it makes my day. Ok now i would like to clear something up,,, NICOLE--> despite the bonds of sisterhood/CD's you totally ripped off my phrase "like nelly and kelly i have a dilemna" i mean come on,, why don't you just kick my in the chotch!! what is that jigga? JIGGA WHAT WHAT?? well guys i will not jinx us by saying we will most def have snow HOWEVER i will say, plan on gatherings galore if we do. Also charity and mary and nicole,, i am now looking forward to valentines day,,,so much fun guys!!! and next weeks saturday night slumber party must at some point involve the hot tub. good luck braving school!!

rebecca posted this at 8:14 PM. Today was not very hot for me but last night was off the heezy fosheezy! I laughed, I cried, I dilussioned, I waxed, I watched, I talked, I filmed and I slept (but not too much). So my favorite quote from last night was most definitely "Sometimes I wish I wasn't gay..." haha Funny stuff. And also, our movie was most def the best movie I have ever seen and if you think it's lame then that has totally changed my opinion of you! :) Just kidding...but seriously, every time I think of it I just start laughing even harder! Oh and Charity: did ya like my message I left on your cellular? Anywho, I got up at 7:25 at Mary's house and left at 7:30 to go to friggin basketball practice. It was definitely not off the hook but it wasn't too bad....it was quite a shmack down to hafta get up that early, though. I am definitely shmacked now more than ever before in my life because, like Nelly and Kelly, I have a dilemma. But we won't go into details here, will we? Well, here's some very cheerful news for all of you: tomorrow=ice, wednesday=below freezing, thursday=flurries, friday=way below freezing! So, I'm thinkin "Why even try to go to school?" Well, I dream of Caribou, youth group, Super Bowl parties, sleep overs, and beaches. Until another time, I am forever yours: Nicole <><
Nicole posted this at 7:45 PM. geez, last night was CRAZY of da chain! wow, those bottle rockets sure can give a scare (there is still a black mark on my window)! after all this fun, its gonna be a killer to return to school/morning skating. just shlap me in the face (this is a toned down version of kick in the ___)! alas, i am again unshmacked! i thought that when i showed up to diving today 15 minutes late my mom would have my head! however, she only assumed traffic was the victim! this is two in a row ive lucked out on. i asked again about the beach house and i have to call my grandma and ask her myself...my mom wasnt too pleased w/ the idea. but we will see, ill call her soon. even if we arent allowed to go to the house, we could always rent something/stay in a hotel. well, ill keep you posted, everyone have a great day...see ya again at caribou! peace, love, and Charity
charity posted this at 7:24 PM. word up homes. first of all i'd just like to clear up the fact that he's NOT MEXICAN!!! goodness!! haha anyhow! my computer is finally up and running again! good thing!! my blog withdrawal was getting unbearable! this weekend was so hot!!!! getting to see charity cheer and then sleepover at megan's friday night and then movie at charity's saturday and then sleepover at my house last night.....wow....sometimes i wonder if i spend too much time with you guys...but then i'm all like....shpandex! hah! so last night us girls ran around filming the best movie ever made (despite the guys trying to kill us the whole time) so good! so good! and oh my goodness we went shopping at southpoint today and just guess who we saw in american eagle!!! TODD!!!! he is oh so cute! but the let down of the month- i've gained like, 5 or 6 pounds after getting it into my head that i would start working out more and not eat junk food and what not. :( so i'm up to around 121 or 122. that might not seem like much to some people but it is to me. double shmack right in the you know where. well, i'm out!!!! love all around! ^^Mary^^
Mary posted this at 6:16 PM.today im just going to re-live the funiest convo. ive had in a long time. mary says that beth has found a guy for her in chille that thinks she is hot. the jokes start rolling in. is his name pedro or jose? rodrigues? does this sexi-mexi speak english? reply:yes, fluently. hello and goodbye dont count! well, there was tons more but i cant remember them. thats all for now. wink it tonight!! peace~charity

charity posted this at 5:19 PM. OPERATION ILLEGAL is underway....I'm telling you guys: it was an epiphany that me and my sista, Beeka, had on our way to church. It's gonna be off the hook! So just a little reminder to all participating (sorry guys, but just chicas this time): Bring candles! That is all I am saying about this top secret mission. So how was y'all's morning? Mine was off the heezy fosheezy! Sunday school was quite enjoyable as I was sitting with Depot, Mary, Marcus the comedian, and laughing at many other's jokes. I think sunday school is the best outlet for everybody's sense of humor. Shay had the best joke today too. So I have many dilemmas. Tonight I was invited to somebody's bday party (which I am skipping b/c operation illegal and youth group) and tomorrow I am invited to a duke-unc girls bball game with my team during prom dress shopping time. What the hades? Since when do I have two social lives and why are they conflicting? Why don't you just kick me in the chotch? So today I was all like "Jigga wha wha..shpandex?" hahaha Sorry I'm a little dillusional/dilusional/dilussional or however you spell it. Yea, many apologies to Charity and Megan for Reid and Sam seeing the picture: I tried to stop it but they bullied me! What can a girl do? I tried!! Oh and here are some more off the chain lyrics (I'm just trying to expose you guys to some good songs). I heard this is a theme song for some girls I know quite well: Enjoy!
Back when I was young
Couldn't wait to grow up
Get away and get out on my own
And looking back now
Ain't it funny how
I've been trying to get back home, yeah
When my low self esteem
Needs a man loving me
And I find me a perfect catch
Then I see my friends
Having wild weekends
Then I don't wanna get quite so attached
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Good is good but could be better
I keep looking, I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more
Well, the straight haired girls
They all want curls
And the brunettes wanna be blonde
It's your typical thing
You got ying you want yang
It just goes on and on
They say, hey, it's only human
To never be satisfied
Well I guess that I'm as human as the next one
Oh, I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
Yeah, I keep looking
Looking for something more
Just as soon as I get what I want
I get unsatisfied
Hey, good is good but could be better
I keep looking
I keep looking for
I keep looking for something more
I always wonder what's on the other side
Of the number two door
I keep looking
Looking for something more
Oh, looking for something more
Have a fabulous day and if you get down, have an ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPICINO! have a great one-*~*Nicole City*~*
Nicole posted this at 1:49 PM.man, i am so mad at the skating world. it has got to be one of the most unfair sports ever invented! and all of the US team has gone straight to you know where. they all suck to the max except the women!!! ok, sorry, just had to get that out of me. nationals were this weekend and it is pitiful! anywho, i had my interview today and it went pretty good i think but who knows. i can never tell what they think when i get interviewed. sometimes i think they really like me and i get shmacked. other times i screw up royaly and they love me. well, thats all for now. peace in the middle east.

charity posted this at 7:06 PM. Ah! Did you enjoy my rockin lyrics? Today, I drove all over town with my new licensed self and did many errands...little did I know that errands take so friggin long! Ah, it was worth it! I now have my own set of keys! Woo hoo! Well tonight, my friends, I have to babysit. But it is for a cute little gal and I'm bringing along my own assitant: Will! Last night was quite enjoyable...I thoroughly enjoyed the movie experience and especially enjoyed winning my bet of one million pretend dollars over Sam! (Owen Wilson is in "Meet the Parents" for those of you who don't know) And I enjoyed talkin to people online at like 1 o'clock and learning how to be ghetto from Skye. And guess what CDers? We have permanently imprinted "Get your Freak On" in her mind! YEAH! Mission accomplished! (haha love ya Skye) Im off! -Nicole-
Nicole posted this at 5:12 PM. for lack of anything better to say........ YOUR BODY IS A WONDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!
Mary posted this at 4:14 PM. Wow i have painted like a mad woman today,,, so satisfying to me, so frustrating for my dad. When i paint i am oblivious to the word, i only hear the swish of my brush and the beat of the music blaring. However 6 hours later, i have (unbeknowst to me) stepped in paint at least three times and tracked it all over the carpet, have a huge blob of white paint in my hair and eyelashes and have dribble paint all over uncovered furniture and siblings alike. So glorious. So now i am banned from teh painting room as my dad attempts to reconstruct the damaged. eh such is life. Last night was really fun and it was great seeing charity cheer although here is a tip Charity-city...when cheering, try not to mock the cheerleading profession AS you are cheering. One look at your face and everyone in the crowd knows your the type who thinks cheerleaders are wastes of space. While this fact may quite possibly be very true, lets not shout it out :o) well i'm having a low key night tonight w/ charity, just gearing up for the slumber party tomorrow night at Marys. fun 2 tha izzo! well this blog is getting quite dilusional...perhaps it is the paint fumes. Farewell CD's and Islanders alike!

OH by the by lenuel----change your format of your blog,,,, we CD's feel that you have ripped off our website. Word to that
rebecca posted this at 4:04 PM. Sorry just wanted to post some awesome lyrics to one of my favorite songs:
These Days
(Rascal Flatts)
Hey baby, is that you?
Wow, your hair got so long
Yeah, yeah, I love it, I really do
‘Norma Jean’, ain’t that the song
We’d sing in the car
Drivin’ downtown, top down
Making the rounds
Checking out the bands on Doheeney Avenue
Yeah, life throws you curves
But you learned to swerve
Me I swung and I missed
And the next thing ya know
I’m reminiscin’, dreaming old dreams
Wishing on wishes
Like you would be back again
I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just incase
Go to bed
Dream of you
That’s what I’m doing these days
Someone told me after college
You ran off to Vegas
You married a rodeo cowboy
Wow, that ain’t the girl I knew
Me I’ve been a few places
Mostly here and there once or twice
Still sortin’ out life, but I’m doing alright
Yeah, it’s good to see you too
Hey girl, you’re late
And those planes, they don’t wait
But if you ever come back around
To this sleepy old town
Promise you’ll stop in
To see an old friend
And until then...
I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just incase
Go to bed
Dream of you
That’s what I’m doing these days
Hope you enjoy....download it if you can.....I tried to bold my favorite verse but who knows if it worked? We'll see! Catch ya later! -Nick-

charity posted this at 4:06 PM. Hello all! I see the light at the end of the tunnel and the possible unfoilment of myself. Guess what? I GOT MY LICENSE! Possibly the best thing that has happened to me all week (besides being with my homies, of course). Yea to the izzay! I'm so relieved and excited...and this means I can most definitely go croqueting on Sunday (unless I screw up). Oh, and I might even be able to go tonite....just to the movie part though...I'm hoping to hop a ride with Charity...we will have to see though. So Charity: if you read this, holla at me! I will try to call you too! Oh and sorry if you talked to me last night and I sounded suicidal....I was just not very happy...:) But it's all gravy now that I have my license, jiggas. Oh and I missed like the whole day of school except for three periods. So I'm thinking....I hope this isn't the eye of the storm, ya know? Hopefully I'm outta the storm. Eh, we'll see. Well I gotta go spend quality time with my brother, Will! I hope to see you all tonite! YEAH! Catch ya later! :) :) :) Smile, God loves you and so do I! Oh and word to Beeka on the song: top choice! BYE! -Nicole aka New Licensed Driver <><
Nicole posted this at 3:33 PM. word. ahh, today the sun is shining and its so pretty! last night i went to bed at approximately 11, sure that school would be cancelled. i sure recieved a kick in the (ya know) when it was only delayed! see, there is something weird about me that no matter how late i go to bed i wake up at 5:30 anyways. very annoying. but anyways, i got up and tried desperately to finish any shred of homework i could find. i was semi-succesfull and even managed to stomach the hermaphrodite article long enough to finish my summary. despite this awful morning and some bad news recieved via email today, when i got to school i was hit with a burst of energy/dilusion. it was great. the classes were only 35 min. long and i didnt feel so ADD today. plus, i am so excited you guys are coming to my game tonight! i apologize in advance for boringness and the suckiness of our team. if it gets too bad, you can leave and i will catch up w/ you at megans! this weekend is sure to be off the izzay! i cant wait! a list of phrases you can attatch to practically anything you say, just watch the reactions of others: jiggawhat, jiggawho, jiggawhere, etc. your mom(answers any question)...who is that? your mom...what are you doing tonight? your mom...what are you talking about? your mom. mo' fo'...a classic...pass me the tape mo' fo' (also good if include a slap on the end, just dont forget sound effects). wangstah(this is the correct spelling)....alright, well that is all for now, if this seems really weird/you dont get it, dont worry. it is. oh, and GO JANE she has her final skate today! peace.
charity posted this at 2:55 PM. Hey ya'll! Score! I so just bypassed the systems at work so I can read and write in blog! For the moment life makes sense!

Megan posted this at 11:50 AM. looking back at my late night hysteria post, i think,,,,how cruel can life possible get?? This is all so dissapointing. My sister woke me up at 6 in the morning to tell me we have a delayed start. THEN she proceeds to cough and hack for a good half hour until i informed that i had no problem strangling her with my bare hands. she then decided to settle down. SO now here i sit during my study hall. i have many quizzes i have not studied for today but i just can not possible motivate myself. Such is life. I am however greatly looking forward to tonight at the game and movie night and sleepover. Fun to the izz-o! this weekend is going to be soo completely off the hook,, you cannot even comprehend. CD's--> i think we should add a new more mellow song to our collection of rap ballads. This is not a rap song but keep an open mind. how about the kid rock/sheryl crow duet "Picture" i relaly like it and i think charity and i might have to add it to our concert..hmm we shall see tonight.

Megan posted this at 9:42 AM.Um so my life got completely and utterly foiled in a matter of 5 mins. My dad gave me a speech in which alot of things were said to me which leads to me not being able to go tomorrow to Megan's and also to Charity's game...life is not lookin too swell right now. I've been upset and crying (not a common event for me) just thinking about the possibility of me getting grounded for 3 weeks (which will happen if I screw up again). Can you imagine me not doing anything with my homies for 3 weeks? AH! My life sucks right now but my hope is in God and I'm hoping everything works out. Well, I guess I will blog a LONG one tomorrow since I'll have extra time on my hands. Well, ladies and gents...I'm off to bed and to ponder my utter foilment. Hope to see you on Sunday if I am still alive and breathing...Nicole

If we do not have school tomorrow (and i'm assuming we don't b/c i did not do any homework and i plan to stay up late watching mindless tv) then we should all rendezvous to sled, drink hot cocoa, etc. Somebody get on this to plan!!

Number 2---> mary your post was soooo sad i feel soo bad for you and if it makes you feel any better, nicole and i talked about how pretty you looked the whole way home last night. i luv you!!! ok now that those messages are said, i have an announcement. I am now a hobo. My room is being painted this weekend and i have had to move all of my possessions and box them up and i now share a room with a snoring and snorting 12 year old. This bites. i have the sneeky suspicion this is all a ploy and i will wake up in the middle of the night in teh middle of a cold field w/ all my possessions in boxes surrounding me and no sense of direction how to get home. I fear for my life :o) Anyways i hate college and all the college decisions and i just wish i was a nurse now and didn't have to go to school or kiss college interviewers butt to get into school. sux to the max!! anyways, pray for snow and i can't wait till tomorrow. luv you all! and i love megan especially!

rebecca posted this at 6:55 PM. wow, God loves me! today my dad returned and its been a while so i think its safe to say that he did not hear the innapropriate song! (just to fill you in...i left a un-edited version of "work it" blasting in the car cd player and my dad took that car) maybe my dad feels uncomfortable mentioning it or maybe he really doesnt care...but whatever happened i dont care as long as im not in trouble. yeah!! why the heck did i take a.p. biology this year? it grosses me out to the max! right now i am writing a summary on an article titled "Turning a Man". just think about that for a sec. ewww, it is so graphic and just goes on and on about...i cant even say it! yuck! brace yourself, here is a sample scentence, "With growing shock she felt her voice dropping, her facial hair growing,(the last part of this quote is too disgusting)" ahhhhhh, and that isnt even the worst of it! ok now that ive grossed you out, it looks like snow for tonight! that means no school=no homework tonight=no game tomorow night=all of us hanging out! just call and we can set up something fun for tomorow. in bio we are also studying birth defects and it is so sad...im so scared to have kids after this unit! thank God you are healthy and have healthy brothers and sisters cuz man, there are a lot of crazy things that can happen. and the chances are mad high for these diseeses! today at school, this kid called me a wangsta, should i be worried? hrm, well this is getting long so, im outie.

charity posted this at 5:56 PM. went to sleep last night with a headache, woke up and it was even worse. stayed in bed till about 9 and then got ready and went to school. i feel so ugly :( it makes me sad! i cant stand it!!!! i look in the mirror and want to puke. who am i kidding?? i'll never get a guy! why do i even bother. i feel bad for people who have to look at me everyday! i dont know whats wrong with me! i feel so so tired. i just want to go to sleep and never wake up. hmmm :`( in honor of my dreary mood (since i have no poetry skills of my own) here's a poem we read today....
The Wise (by Countee Cullen)
Dead men are wisest,
for they know
How far the roots of flowers go,
How long a seed must rot to grow.
Dead men alone bear frost and ran
On throbless heart and heatless brain,
And feel no stir of joy or pain.
Dead men alone are satiate;
They sleep and dream and have no weight,
To curb their rest, of love or hate.
Strange, men should flee their company,
Or think me strange who long to be
Wrapped in their cool immunity.

Megan posted this at 10:44 AM. This morning as i woke up to my blasting alarm clock, after i picked it up and threw it to some unknown dark corner, the first thought in my head was "besides, missy looks like an oober dyke" ahhhhhh,,,,, what a random random quote. for those of you that don't know, this quote is from "bring it on" w/ kirsten dunst. the movie sucks but it has some funny lines such as "Torrence you are being a cheer-tator and a pain in my ass" and "missy's the poo,, so take a big whiff" soooo funny. Anywyas, i just wanted to infect some of the randomness on you. Well my school day is now over as i'm leaving early for a college interview, fun times, fun times. I can't wait till tomorrow night. We are all going to make fun of Charity cheering and have gobs of fun!!!. then sunday will be the ultimate sleepover at Marys!!! word to that. Mary--i'll pick you up around 7 and megan i'll pick you up a little after 7. Love you all!! REID---> I"m dying of curiousity,,,finish your blog!

rebecca posted this at 10:18 AM. Ah, Reid. How sorry I am to read of your plight. I'm sorry you and Megan had such a rough night. On the bright side, Caribou was quite a success last night. I had quite an enjoyable time last night...fun times were had. (Zach, we missed ya.) I must say that I am in quite a lovely mood right now as I am in French class "working on a French menu" aka blogging. The guy next to me just asked me what I was doing and I informed him that I was researching. Wow, depressing thought...Ben is not yet awake. Gaw, I would love to sleep in. Well, last night was off the chain except for my friend, Charity, was a little bit down...I love you Charity! You must fill us in on the situation with your pops...did he yell? I would also like to say that I am not guy crazy...I'm just considering my options! I can't help that...wouldn't you worry if I didn't? Ah, how I long for this weekend...I hope we have snow...that would be suh-weet (Robbie). Mary, your blog cheered me up tons. :) You are quite a funny gal. And congrats to Charity on the smashing GPA! You rock my world. Well, I'm off to class (grrrrr) and to dream of sleepovers, late night talks, croquet, youth group, and bunches of fun! Yeah for weekends! Have a great day and props to Mark on his unfoilment. Love you all -Nicole City-

(sigh) he's so amazingly pretty....not much for conversation......but ahhhhh breathtaking!!! yeah......i'm not shallow. ugly people are nice too. hehe loooking back on what i've written i seem kinda boy crazy......imagine that!!! hmm......... wow i'm so excited about seeing everyone tonight!!!!!! its been way too long!!!!! alright, well my time on this computer is running out so i need to go!!!!!!

Mary posted this at 4:04 PM. wow, let me just start out by giving charity her props on her 5.0 GPA. if she would like to send some of her decimal points my way, it would be much appreciated. My funny/embarrassing moment of the day was when leaving the girls bathroom, i opened the door to go out, but my stupid foot was in the way and the door hit my foot and schmacked me right on my forehead sending me spiraling backwards. The first utterance out of my confounded mouth was "GOSH THAT HURT LIKE A MOFO!". while that phrase was quite satisfying in expressing my feelings of pain, foolishness and hilarity, a teacher right behind me overheard and reprimanded me on my "insinuating" foul mouth. She was soo stern i did not even attempt to explain the monkey-foot abbreviation to her. Some people are just so out of it, there is no help for them.....however today my mood is much improved. THis due to a great new episode of Gilmore Girls last ngiht and the thoughts of talking ot charity and megan this afternoon, and then going ot caribou. soo fun. I would like to concur w/ reid and charity on the date-crazy fettish. Reid i think the only reason you are confounded by this is that you have already achieved your mate of bliss, thus erasing all former thoughts of desperate lonelines from your head. ANd charity, you honesty is commendable and i must pipe up and add "aye,aye" to all that was said by you. But alas, we will keep chipping away at this confounded mystery of life until some answers are brought forth, or we get too old to care. Either way i hope that day hastens soon. Well i must go take a make-up spanish pop quiz as hte first go-around produced an undesirable grade. Shout out to Zach--keeping fending off those deperate wenches in drivers ed and remember...always check your tires, blinkers, and lights before entering the car. see you all tonight!

rebecca posted this at 2:20 PM. ah, report card day! although i had a terrrible in-class-essay and an ap chemistry quiz today, all that was overshadowed by the joy of recieving my report card. you ask why i am so happy when most normal students dread this day? i will tell you my frieds, it is because, after seeing this i am fo sho not going to do any work this semster. better yet, once my mom catches sight of this 5.0 GPA hopefully she will stop bugging me about school. heck, i might as well just drop out now. ok, on to other things. lately i have expirienced a boy-crazy wave. i dont know what brought this about. i mean, i used to not care about having a boyfriend or anything like that but now, since i have stopped obsessing about school work, i have all this time to fill up. anyways, dont think its all i care about or anything, cuz its most def not, its just something im thinking about. well anyways, i know some of my fellow cders are expiriencing the same...maybe its contagious? well, im off to fail a latin test now. cya at caribou tonight! peace out.
charity posted this at 12:04 PM.Oki doki, Ben, you win! Although if divot can mean a chunk of ice out of an iceskating rink (which it is refered to on national television as), then it most definitely can mean a chunk of pavement out of the street( not a pothole silly)! Thank you Thank you thank you very much! Why did it take months to find that definition? Oh, well using your own personal dictionary is your perogative I guess:o) Bye now! The CDs rise again! Oh, and I can't wait for tomorrow night! Yay!

Megan posted this at 11:06 PM. Hello to all: Well, today was not one of the best days of my life. I'm not really sure why I'm feeling down right now but I just haven't had a great day since I've been to youth group. Every period, I sit there dreaming of the days till I will reunite with ANYbody from youth group. Today, I did not laugh really hard at anything and you know when that happens, that's it's not gonna be a good day. Plus, my "secret cheerleader" (all the bball players have a cheerleader who gives them candy on game days and puts a sign on their locker...mine makes really good cookies for me) was sick! AH! Well, all is not lost cause in the words of Avril Lavigne "Tomorrow is a different day...Tomorrow it may change". And God loves me...what else should I need to know? Oh and thanks to Reid for his very helpful advice...definitely helped alot. Well I got some prayin, homework, and sleepin to do! I'll catch y'all later. Come to Caribou at 7 tomorrow night...or be square! -Nicole-
Nicole posted this at 10:00 PM. hewwwo! today was my first day back on the ice in two weeks! that has got to be one of the longest breaks from skating ive takin in 7 years! my return, however, was bittersweet. on one hand, i really missed it and the fact that i got up at 5 am. this morning to go to practice didnt even bother me. geez, i love skating. but on the other hand, i totally sucked!! i mean bad. it was most depressing-i am so out of shape! those extra holiday pounds have finally caught up with me. i still lifted weights/worked out a little over the break, but alas, my efforts were in vain. nothing can take the place of hard-core cardio. it was most dificult trying to jump after gaining weight. but my extra-sweet sweet-tooth craves the good stuff. what to do? diet and get back to my borderline-anorexic-looking body, or instead, embrace the extra poundage and learn to jump higher. well, i must ponder this furthur. bad news. i am once again shmacked by my parents (since you guys insist women are incapeable of being foiled, the term "shmacked" will substitute as the women version of foiled) they have forbidden me to attend the sleepover. i have to be a NC state for that stupid interview at 9 am. saturday morning! are they crazy? making me miss bonding time with my fellow CDs for a ree-ree interview. well, i expect a full report of the events on saturday. advice: keep your spirits up by remembering the three-day weekend coming up (God bless MLK)!
love, charity
charity posted this at 3:29 PM. well my day is looking somewhat upwards compared to yesterday. i slept for 11hours last night which i have not done in about 10 years, and i have caribou to look forward to tomorrow. AND mary finally contacted the outside world on the blog,,, we were all wondering if she had been abducted. by the by that was a very Citydweller thing to do, to go to the public library just for the sake of blogging and iming,,,rock on, sweet mary, rock on. And now i look forward to megan sharing nuggets of news with me this evening which she has promised me,, very exciting/nerve racking!!! ahh everyday i obsess more and more on being everylastingly schmacked but alas i have a companion in suffering, my very own Charity city. and to all the city dwellers reading this blog---ignore all reports of blustery weather on friday, for we are most def still going to have our sleepover at marys on friday night, it is not an option to cancel as i most certainly will die if we do.
until another blissful moment in time,

Megan posted this at 10:28 AM. Hey everyone! It's Tuesday morning and I just finished another round of pilates( cross b/w yoga, ballet, and gymnastics just in case you're wondering) and thought I'd say a quick hello before heading to work! Last night came pretty close to rockin' my face off ( close b/c my CDs weren't w/ me.... sadness)! The guys kind of gave up on praise band practice once I joined them, so we just hung out for a while and had Subway( yay for goodness sake:o)! Oh, and news for the CDs and maybe for some islanders ( and others), Ben's recording my next CD soon! I might re-record some of the old songs later, but for this one everything's new! It's gonna be awesome!!! Ok, now that I've spilled my news of the day, I must scaboot! Work is calling me (yuk to the extreme!) and I must go to answering phones, connecting rude people, and doing whatever else I'm told to do! All this without the release of reading or writing the blog or my e-mail ( Ben I think I might have you beat on job boredom...well, maybe)! I will survive.... don't worry! Then it's off to writing class after I write my paper that is( it's on clowns. Explain that!)! In spite of all this, life still rocks my face off! Oki dookie, have an awesome day ya'll and I'll be back! -Megan
Megan posted this at 9:47 AM.Bonjour all! I had a pretty alright day today...although I felt horrible for my sista, Beeka. And I must say, word to Reid about school. My eyes were definitely about 50 times heavier than they usually are and I felt myself drifting off to sleep about a million times. So you wanna know what's really annoying? When someone keeps on telling you that you are in a bad mood and you aren't...it just makes you seem in a bad mood when you keep telling them you are not and it just shmacks you in the face! (for those of you who don't know, "shmack" is sorta like "foiled" only not...its a great word (and a great game)) Oh well...today I tried to be soo studious b/c unlike some of you lucky seniors, I have two more years of high school. Sometimes when I think of that I say "How am I gonna survive?" But high school can be alot of fun and so I keep trying to think positively. Oh and my mail is working!! Word to that! I was getting sooooo frustrated w/ it but I figured it out and one of my sisters (who shall remain nameless) had screwed it up so its all good now. So Charity: write me back! I would also like to shout out to Skye: HEY! I love you and hope you had a great day! And I do have many highlights to look forward to: Caribou...basketball...sleepover...youth group...ty and kelly...my license-getting it soon!! I'm quite nervous about that though so...we'll see! I just wanna drive away and leave all these worries behind (without crashing)....although as Todd said "I'm good" if I do crash. :) And a major shout out to Mary and Megan: FINALLY, we are all back together again "so happy together"! I missed you guys! Sorry about the random stream of consciousness I have going here guys. Hope it didn't hurt your brains! Well have a super week and don't give up! ~Nicole~

Nicole posted this at 7:47 PM. Don't worry guys i'm alive!!!! its true!!!! its been eh.....4 days (?) not having a computer but i'm finding refuge here in the public library. i must say that i've been thinking about you guys like crazy!!!! i am most def coming to caribou on wednesday and my fellow city dwellers are invited to sleep at my house friday night!!! yaaaay to tha izz a!!!! ahhh so good so good. well, since i've been totally out of it for so long i feel like you guys dont know anything about me.....so i must inform you...... well not much really happened last week except that the girl i've hated since 4th grade transfered to gh. yeah. anyhow, i was up at 4:30 saturday morning and i didn't get home from my tournament till 11!!!!! madness i tell you!!!! we lost in the semi finals which is alright with me cuz i feel that i played alright. yeah, but then i was serving and i did a really bad toss and it crunched my lower back (like it does EVERY time i play) and i started balling (yeah i felt like a fool) and they wouldn't let me play in the semi finals (could that be why we lost?? just kidding!) but i had GREAT bonding time with my teammates and my coach. although, all i could think about were my fellow CD's and islanders. it was so great to see you guys sunday!!! and let me tell you that shmackit rocked my face off to the max charity city!!!! well, it turns out that todd the new guy has made friends with the snobby sophmores. but we didn't like him anyway. hah but oh my goodness the football playing oh so cute freshman that i've been drooling over since the beginning of the year keeps talking to me at school!!! ahhhhhhhhh every time i see him i just want to cry!!! he's so beautiful!!! oh dustin!!! you light up my life!!! haha moving on. i dyed my hair tonight!!! its like a medium brown kinda color. i haven't decided if i like it yet but its not too bad. you guys can tell me what you think when you see me on wednesday. oh i cant hardly wait!!!! well, they have a time limit on these stupid public computers so i better wrap this up but i promise as soon as i can i will come back and write much much more!!! i miss you guys like CRAZY!!!!! DONT FORGET ME!!!!! -Mary to tha izz o!!!
Mary posted this at 7:21 PM. well while i'm very happy for my fellow CD's good day, my day sucked like no other. After having 3 consecutive pop quizzes, i walked into ap euro only to be informed that we were having a pop quiz. after failing that jigga, all i could do was lay my head on my desk and cry. CRY!!!!! i have never been sooo disgusted at myself for being such a girl and crying. i never cry! so now all my teachers think i'm freakin' weird b/c of my mental breakdown and the fact that i walked around school the rest of hte day w/ mascara all down my face. eh oh well, not like i value any of their opinions of me anyways. I just want to be at caribou now,,, and most especially at the slumber party friday. Mary what is the status on that???? well i gg do pointless homeowrk now. Senior High Youth, come on and raise up!

rebecca posted this at 7:02 PM. all i have to say is SCORE!! today i got back my math quiz (you know from the week i didnt listen to the teacher...at all) and on it was a big 100!! the sad part is that some of those who did take notes/listen recieved 90s and 80s. my heart goes out to them. anywho, today i wore the same "where's waldo" shirt(as sam likes to call it) to school again. that makes it three days in a row wearing the same great red and white striped shirt (dont worry i cleaned it). as the waldo jokes rolled in at school, it made me wonder, what if i wore the same shirt to school every day for a week? what would ppl. do? point and laugh, stare, or perhaps pretend they dont notice. it would be an interesting experiment. so today in the car i asked lizzy if she read the blog. this is her response "what? which blog? you have a blog?", this furthur confirms my conclusion that my sister is the worst lier ever! so liz, as you read this tonight, as im sure you will, just remember that you cant keep secrets from me! on a lighter note, i am thrilled that fellow CD megan's computer is up and running again. where are you mary...we miss you! o and what is the delio with the sleepover on friday? are we going to mary's house or what? furthur discussion about it on wednessday. oh, and Ben, divot is most def a word (i ran across your question while perusing the island blog). i heard it just the other day while watching skating on TV. they said that the zamboni had left a dangerous divot in the ice (apparently some sort of hole). well, bye.
charity posted this at 5:45 PM. Big hello to my fellow CDs and the rest of ya'll! This weekend was rockin' and I I can't wait for wed. w/ Ty and Kelly and then grrls night Fri.! So much fun! Oh and last night was so much fun , but also sad because I hardly had a chance to get to know Ty or Kelly:o(
Anywheres, many kudos go out to all involved in the making of Ty's song! It was the coolest ever!( those were some mighty nifty maracas if I do say so myself!) And shmack-it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Yay for charity! Well, it's a new week and It's most definitely going to be an awesome one! It makes me smile:o) I must say though, I miss Reid like crazy!!! He makes me smile too:o) Too many smiley faces....I can't help it!!! Until lata then! Peace and smiles to all! Megan City
Megan posted this at 1:21 PM.Well jiggas this weekend was great except for Lord of the Rings. what a lamo, eyelid dropping movie,, eh o well it was good seeing everyone. Well now i'm in the pit of despair b/c this weekend was sooo great but now i have to return to school. this is my new spin on life that i will try out, can you guess what the focus is?? youthgroup...blah blah blah....CD's....blah blah blah....islanders...blah blah blah..constant reunitings w/ everyone....blah blah blah. blah blah blah=school, homework, work,,etc. i think i shall be a lot more satisfied w/ life while on this track. OH! i almost forgot, my heart was near to bursting when i laid eyes on my mary today....soo good to see her again, and we will reunite for many talks friday night at the ultimate rocking sleepover. Word to that. Also charity and i are CONSUMED w/ being constantly schmacked by certain targets of bliss. what to do, what to do?? i for one just want to escape to our spring break beach operation and have a good time in the sun! well i gg finish homework now. before i forget, ty and kelly are coming to see all of us at caribou and the TIME IS CHANGED TO 7:00 pm!!! be there or be foiled.

ps----zach, tears formed in my eyes when you approved our meek little blog,, such happiness. have a great week.
rebecca posted this at 9:29 PM. what can i say, SHMACK IT was a success. i knew it was a shmashing game. omg, he is so pretty i cant control my brain. what to do?!!
charity posted this at 9:14 PM. well, i think me and nicole were the only people who laughed througout LOTR! good times. well my friend jane is leaving for nationals tomorrow and its such an accomplishment for her to make it to nationals that i want to ask all blog readers to pray for her this week. i know that if i were going i would be so nervous so she can use some prayer. shpanx! well, anyways, yesterday my cousin came over to help me prepare for a college interview this saturday. ahhhh, i hate interviews with a passion. colleges make you do all kins of junk to get in, in my opinion, all they should look at is your GPA and SAT score. none of this essay and interview crap. if i didnt have to write essays, i probably would have applied to 5 colleges. as it is, i could only bring myself to apply to 2. which pretty much sux because now my options are limited to state and carolina due to sheer laziness. i am also kinda nervous about shmack it tonight. i mean, will it fly? will ppl enjoy it? or will they just dismiss this excellent fun as another lame-o youth group game? im feeling the pressure cuz if they dont take to my game, i will take the blame. well must go pick out an ideal shmack stick. later.
charity posted this at 4:37 PM. Hello everyone: WOW! This weekend was packed with pleasure! Last night, Charity, Beeka, Sammy J, Reid, Megan, and I went to Lord of the Rings and it rocked my face off!! My favorite part in the whole movie was when the blond-haired elf and Aragon (the brown haired guy) were talkin in elfish and Aragon forgot to speak in elfish and said "Then I will die with them!!" in a really loud voice and me and Charity just about fell out of our chairs...ah, good times! Also, the dwarf guy was funny and ya can't forget Gollum being schizophrenic (yes my friends, that is how you spell it--I looked it up)!! Alas the thought of playing "Shmack it" tonite sustains me even though my lack of sleep is taking over. Ah, good times to be had. I was rather upset about comin home at 2 o'clock on Friday night and missing the partay...oh well, this only further proves my theory that women can be foiled (sorry guys, but its the cold hard truth :) ). I would also like to ponder something: Why can't movie theaters keep any toilet paper in the whole bathroom?? Don't worry my friends, I was not subject to this misfortunate...luckily me and Charity checked first...but I mean, c'mon! I'm pretty sure that since you are charging me $7.25 to see a movie that you can buy some toilet paper! Sheesh! Well, that is all for today. Remember, the glass is half full...not half empty. I hope I am fortunate enough to see you soon...Nikki from the Blog (haha YEAH JLO!)
Nicole posted this at 3:21 PM.hrm, what to say. well last night was most-def a success. although i missed speaking to nicole for her basketball game lasted late into the night, perhaps some other time. for there are discussions to be had. wow, every day i find out more and more just how computerly challenged i am. i have downloaded lots o' great songs to put on a cd, but dont know how to work the burner. so my brother said he would burn it at college but i dont know how to send him the file with the songs on it. not to mention the fact that i just got my own email about three weeks ago. sad. well, off to do college stuff.

charity posted this at 1:34 PM. o wow,,, i can't even describe last night....so much fun. it was just soo great to see everyone again and charity, megan and i had our first ritual w/ many more to come! so neat. While we were outside, we thought many a sympathetic thought of our fellow islanders and their plight in the cold,, very rough. Charity and i are beginning to wonder a little bit about megan. first that "i sleep w/ a lot of people" comment and then last night "i like easy guys" hmmmm mayhap that sweet and innocent front is a decoy.. we shall have to look further into this matter. Normally i woudl be depressed after having such gobs of fun and now being left w/ a dirty room and homework,, however i will see my fellow CD's tonight at Lord of the rings!! while i'm excited, i'm a little aprehensive that my attention span is capable of 3 grueling hours of movie, we shall see. I feel it in my bones that charity and i may be closer to reaching a state of bliss in one form or another..time will tell. Shout out to everyone!

rebecca posted this at 12:09 PM. I'm back from the dead! My screen's been down for days and I don't know how I've survived without the release of writing in this incredible blog...... hmm:o) Well, us gals (Charity and Rebecca city and myself) had the ultimate coo night at our sleepover! We camped out! Yeah! Well, for about forty-five minutes or whenever we stopped feeling our brains. Oh, and thanx to beeka we had fire! The most def. coolest sparklers ever! Well, it's a start ( I'm just jokin')!Oh! I almost forgot! Ok, well I've been drafted to educate my fellow CDs in the art of reaching bliss and I'm very confused considering I'm not in art class for a very good reason! Any questions will be fowarded to Mary City, who by the way, has mastered all forms of the "art" of reaching bliss! Thank you!!!! Anywheres, since I've not blogged in sooooo long, I have to give my report on last weekends retreat! It was so very awesome! Oh, and a great quote from last night... Charity when talking of her man of bliss (who will remain unnamed, only because I value my life quite a bit.....): " I like ___ because he is just ummm... very good, he's very good" Quite stunning I think! Wow, it was bundles of fun! I must be scabooting ( so much fun to add "boo" to any word! Means nothng, but impossible to stop saying after you start!), but bunches and bunches and tons of love to my sistas in crime! Megan City
Nicole posted this at 10:50 AM.ahh...a beautiful day. whenever we have sunny weather, im in such a good mood. combined with the fact that it is friday and we had bojangles for lunch...im feeling quite swell. a dose of irony for the day: 1. whenever we go to bojangles for lunch, i seem to be wearing my cheeleading uniform, thus evoking stares of all apex ppl. 2. whenever i decide to take time on my hair and put it up real nice, we have a chemistry lab, forcing me to ruin the hairdo with ugly lab-safety goggles! well except for the stupid basketball game i must attend tonight, the day is looking bright. so i will probably arrive tonight around 9:15, 9:30ish...depending on how long it takes for them to loose. ahh...i actually expirienced some happiness at school! my friends and i expirienced a most blissful state of dlilusion/hyperness after lunch. quite exciting. and when i returned home, my momma had purchased strawberries! my favorite of all fruits. it just keeps getting better and better. i can only imagine the fun tonight! quote for the day. "Keep on smiling because God is in control, trust in Him and he will lead you down the path of righteousness" well, peace.

love, charity PS>i hope you pagans enjoy our blog as much as we enjoy yours!...it rox my universe (new catch phrase-im not sure i like it that much? whaddo you think?)
charity posted this at 3:13 PM. Much fun was had last night! Charity-Megan-and I just cannot stay away from each other for more than one day so of course last night after dinner at the Loop w/ Megan, we both HAD to go see charity at her house and discuss the plans for tonight. So fun, but my parents definetly think i'm crazy as i've gone from an eh-youthgroup attitude to yea!-youthgroup!! The highlight of last night though was most def the transexual that megan and i saw,, such a wonderment i have never seen before. A six foot football player built man who was wearing a long gray haired wig, MAKEUP, and a dress w/ fake boobs. it was soo disgusting that megan and i had to leave immediately upon seeing him as she could not stop laughing, and i could not stop saying the word "transexual" repeatedly. It is such a word that delightfully rolls off your tongue, i just couldn't help myself. school is soo long and boring i can't wait for the weekend. But most of all i can't wait for tonight where i will be reunited w/ my roomies. fun times will be had, word to that. luv you all!

ps--thanks to ben for his stamp of approval on our site, two far down rocks my face off!
rebecca posted this at 9:23 AM.Hey everyone: Okay to start out, I would like to further discuss what my fellow CD, Beeka, said about women having the most foilment of all. I don't know about my other CDs, but I know this as true. I don't really want to go into the details and history of my foilment (those can be discussed at another time) but rest assured that I promise that it beats anyone else's history of foilment. You are not alone, Islanders. I would also like to say that I am very siked about Friday, although I am very sad cuz I am missing the playing of Dumb and Dumber and the visit from the Islanders as I will be at a basketball game!! This definitely rocks my face back on (sorry for the graphics, Zach). But there are great things about Friday: 1) Megan is bringing me a homecoming dress which I'm hoping will fit, 2) We will discuss the "Y" Factor and try to reach some decision...Charity is going to give me some invaluable advice I'm hoping, 3) I get to spend endless hours with my fellow CDs, and 4) We are watching Coyote Ugly which is one of my favorite movies. And lemme tell you, contrary to Islander belief, we don't mind staying indoors and not roughing it...we rather enjoy being comfortable and warm and watching movies and talkin into the wee hours of the morning. So, goodbye all. See some of you on Friday. Have a stupendous day! -Nicolee (yes the two "e"s are on purpose)

Nicole posted this at 6:05 PM. Ok i'm pretty sure that Everyone is now blogging at school, teachers will certainly catch wind soon of this epidemic so we must be careful. How happy i was to see charity's blog this morning. I greatly look forward to discussing "reaching bliss" w/ her and getting megans advice since she has already "reached bliss" by obtaining a man...ie:reid. And may i say that i believe girls have the most foilment of anyone. Although that is all i will say of that subject as i'm not looking for a battle of the sexes debate. I can't wait to see megan tonight and i finally finished my math exam today so i'm free to dream of memories w/o the interruption of variables and random x's and y's. so very distracting. Girls sleepover--come on and raise up!
-Rebecca
ps- my dilemna of the day is that it is chapel day which means the uniform of a navy blue skirt and collared shirt. However my skirt sticks to tights so i didn't wear tights today and now my legs are cold. somebody save me!!!
rebecca posted this at 10:17 AM. hello friends. i have stumbled upon a most fortunate circumstance...computer time during the day! i am currently in clothing design 2...the greatest class ever, minimum work requirement, easy A. so whats the whole big deal about prom anyways. here in the computer lab, all the girls who have finished thier work are crowding around prom web sites...i must admit im also in search of a dress but i mean, prom is in may. chill out man! well, girls we will have to discuss this more in detail on friday, where i will spill all about "reaching bliss." oh how i long for the sleepover...somitimes the thought of it is the only thing getting me through the day. that is all for now. love, charity
charity posted this at 10:08 AM.the theme of today=bliss. when i walked into caribou and saw the grinning faces of my fellow youthgroupers, my heart was near to burst, it was all i could do to not release a WHOOP of joy. so i merely contented myself w/ a goofy grin plastered in my face. I now feel i can survive the week. i thought that i would have to wait 2 long suffering days to see the citydwellers again but alas, megan is taking me out for my birthday tomorrow for dinner (so nice) so we will jubilate and talk of many deep and mysterious things. All of which will NOT be expressed to reid, for his lack of secret keeping abilites (uhh-uh not cool today reid w/ your shout out)!! well now i'm off to bed to dream of city-dwellers, islanders, upcoming "girl bonding" sessions (scorned by the islanders) and i'm sure dumb and dumber will creep its way somewhere into my dream as always. Farewell fellow citizens, farewell!

Nicole posted this at 10:09 PM. WOW! Today was better than a mofo. It was so refreshing to go to Caribou and meet with the Islanders, CDs, and other great people. It really did make my day. Y'all have no clue how much my attitude towards school has changed since the ski trip...I don't think it's healthy. Oy with the poodles already. Oh and word to the Islanders...You are not the only people are constantly being foiled. I must say that I have had my share of "foiling"...so don't think you are alone. Man, I can't stop thinkin about a certain "Y factor"...I just don't know what to do!! I try to just push aside the thoughts and wondering and pondering but I just can't!! I wish things would just go back to the way they were...oh well. Countdown till sleepover: 3 days and countin! WOO WOO! Although I am quite saddened by the thought of my precious Mary not being there. I'm sorry that I have no epiphany's to share but I would like to say that I had a much better day today and I have hope!! Keep it real, mofos, and word to your motha! (haha I laugh at my lack of ghettoness...it's just sad...I wish I could pull it off like Depot) Nicole <><
Note to fellow CDs: We have got to work on our grammar and spelling here, women. The Islanders are putting us to shame! :)
Nicole posted this at 9:28 PM. all ive gotta say is that caribou was a huge sucess. so what if we were a little loud and attracted the attention of fellow coffee drinkers. we had fun and thats all that matters. let me tell you, that is the happiest ive been all week! so today in math class, the teacher told us we didnt have to take notes, just follow along. big mistake. i whipped out the ol' calculater and tore up some puzzle frenzy(an excelent game my friends). so about 30 minutes later, i looked up and realized i had not been paying attention the whole time and we have a quiz on this on friday! eh, what can you do. thats the thing about me and calculater games or perhaps any games. sometimes i find myself so involved in the game, i completely forget about what is going on around me. see, its this innate competitiveness i garner within me. it could be the effect of early skating competitions, ive learned to block out everything and concentrate on a goal. or perhaps, the competitiveness was in me all along and i just applied it when i started skating. its kindof like the "which came first, the chicken or the egg" question...does that make any sense...maybe im just rambling. but this does lead me to realize why skating is such a relaxant for me. whenever im frustrated or confused or stressed, when i go to practice, all my problems dissapear and its just like my whole world is skating and i cant even start to think of my problems in life. wow, that was an epiphany, so my applied advice for you, friends, is that whenever your are feeling low, play a sport, or a calculator game. it will help. you can put aside the rest of your life, and focus all thoughts/energy on the game. well, thats all folks. shout out to the islanders and other CDs.
charity posted this at 8:47 PM. Hey all...I don't know when I will be able to write again so I decided to write in the morning. May I just say that my mom has been very nice to me lately? She let me sleep in this morning because of my late night last night and my overall lack of sleep! I couldn't believe it! I think I am starting to become "unfoiled" (as Reid says). Man, I hope that I will be able to reunite with all the Islanders and City-Dwellers and average Joes at Caribou today. It is my great hope! Oh and shout out to Mark (if you are reading this), keep trying with Emily: don't give up! :) (We still need to talk, oh by the way). Well farewell! -Nicole <><
Nicole posted this at 10:18 AM. I'm most def counting the hours till caribou...soo nice. I hope everyone will be able to make it!! alas my mind is blank of things to say today for i have just had spanish and my teacher hates my guts so i am still reeling from the hostility. I will however say that i am thrilled to pieces of charity's moving on to bigger and better things. I hope she will soon be able to reach her "state of utter bliss" as i myself am attempting to do. Word to that. Well i have some shout outs. To all the islanders,,,i much enjoy this comradie b/w the 2 blogs,,,it gives me much amusement and warm feelings. To Mary--i'm committing myself today after caribou to an insane asylum so don't you worry your little head about me anymore, and you better make it to caribou!! to megan--why in the heck have you not posted you freako??? what is wrong? we miss you!! and to my bestest friend Charity--kudos on your grand decision. You are the best mofo that ever was. Luv you all!

rebecca posted this at 10:17 AM.Hello to all reading this, may you be islanders or city-dwellers or just the average joe: shout out to you! I'm sorry if this blog doesn't make any sense whatsoever or if it's just weird...it's a little bit late and I have just returned from my basketball game and may I just say that I'm a little bummed...I mean I sit for most of the game and play not so good and return at all hours of the night--what is the point, I ask you?? Oh well, it has it's good points to it. Charity: way coo list from the ski trip--It rocked my world (I like that phrase almost as much as "rock my face on"). Today in Math, I just kept doodling and thinking about the ski trip and today after school I wore my SHY shirt to my game even though we are supposed to wear school shirts. :) I totally agree with Beeka (aka Becca for all you Islanders and average Joes who don't know: that's her new nickname) and Charity about not wanting to live in the city...it was just a joke, nothing else. Hope that clears up all the confusion and hurt. And I will definitely attempt to make the rendezvous at Caribou tomorrow, I have a late practice so I am gonna try to con my sister or my mom into letting me come and bringin me back..who knows? Might work. Well, I just want to say how refreshing and encouraging it is to read this blog (and the Islanders')...It just makes my day. Goodnight and farewell for another day. Lots o' love. Remember: Tomorrow's another day and you never know what joy it may bring. Have a great day! -Nicole City- PS Who knew brailing was actually a word?? And to think I laughed at the absurdity...sorry Sam! :)

Nicole posted this at 11:43 PM. hmmm i have to say that i take a different view on school than my good friend charity. grades are important to me because it feels good when i succeed and i want to get into a good college so i can be able to live my adult life with a job i'm passionate about and be able to make enough money to support my family if needed. and also on the bright side of things, there was a new student in my biology class today.....his name is Todd :) hehe what a hunk! and also my best friend from middle school transfered to gh from cary so i can be with her more!!! ahhhhh the joy you find in the little things!!! oh, but there was one thing that most. def. rocked my face right back on. i'm not able to go to the sleepover planned this weekend!! i have to go to a volleyball tournament saturday and i'm leaving at 5 am!!!!!! 5 in the morning!!!! the sun doesn't even wake up that early!!!! (sigh) why do i do this to myself???? well, i just want to holla at rebecca for that phone call last night!!! WHERE'S THE SHIRT? WHERE'S THE SHIRT!! i think about you guys non stop and i miss the fun times!!!! remember me at the sleepover friday! watch a little BET in my honor! peace out home fwys!
Mary posted this at 4:19 PM. THIS IS SOOO FREAKIN IMPORTANT!!!! REID AND I WERE BEMOANING OUR SAD LIFE'S AND WE DECIDED THAT WEEKLY WE NEED A MID-WEEK BOOSTER OF YOUTH GROUP. THEREFORE STARTING TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY JAN 8) AT 4 O'CLOCK WE ARE ALL MEETING AT CARIBOU ON MAYNARD. EVERYONE MUST COME B/C IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME IF YOU DON'T!! WE CAN DREAM OF THE OLD SKI TRIP DAYS. SEE YA THERE TOMORROW!!
rebecca posted this at 4:14 PM. well im back from day 2 of second semester. now today amidst the daydreaming of first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and yes my friends even sixth period, i stumbled upon a profound thought. i mean what is this rat race called life anyways. i mean what is the motivation that has driven me my whole life? when i was younger, i was taught to make the good grades and even recieved presents when i got em. as i grew older, i continued my rigorous work ethic but slowly the presents stopped coming. i have been completely running my life the wrong way. i try so hard and stress out and yes i do boast a rather high GPA, but who really cares neways. i will probly end up at NC state anywaz and could have gotten in there with about half as much effort. and what is the point of going to college anywayz...to get a good job and make lots of money...what is the point of making lots of money...so you can pay for your kids to go to college...why do your kinds go to college...same reason!!! its all just a big sucky circle!! why couldnt i have had this wonderous epiphany say around sophomore year? that would have saved me so much agony. as i reflect on my high school life i remember two things...waking up at the crack of dawn every day to go skating and making the grades. that is why i have come to the conclusion that this semester, i will not over work, if i get a c on my report card...i will not cry!! that is why i have put forth so much effort into this blog...cuz im obviously not doing my homework! so what if my beautiful 4.67 drops. i am just fed up with society molding my brain to think that grades are all that matters. im even thinking of quitting diving and perhaps cheerleading to free up my time some more--yeah right like my mom will let me do that. well ne whoo, ben, we will try to keep the inside jokes to a minimum, and i too dont actually long for the city as im sure you have already guessed from reading this. oh and rebecca, learn to type "the" not hte...j/k. a proposal for an outing where the pagans and the city dwellers reunite has been suggested for saturday night...if ur interested and/or availible email me @ charitym@mindspring.com. till friday my girls and saturday my boys, peace out.
charity posted this at 4:00 PM. ok ok, the complaints, rants and yes whines too have been heard from the islanders so i feel i must explain a few things. Originally this blog was created by charity and myself to mock the site of the islanders therefor we did the antithesis of everything the islanders stood for (ie the city,,,rigorous schedules..etc). i must admit it right now that the last place i would like the live is the city.. my ideal place is a big farm with lots of kids and no school house in site to walk to. That is my paradise. the cityness is a joke, fellows, so don't worry..sorry if feelings were offended or brain farts were produced from our site. The inside jokes however are soo very good that we must continue them. all of these jokes are the product of hte ski trip and since we are merely living our lives now in the shadow and memories of hte ski trip, it brings us much joy. On to new thoughts now..my school depression was soo visible that last night i was given a "get motivated in school" lecture that produced much boredom, stress and yes tears. I am not now nor have i ever been a person who enjoys or either tolerates school, it is hte bane of my existance. o well though. Ahh!! i must use this space to clear up some past misconceptions. BRAILING IS A WORD!! i know, i know, imagine my shock and dismay but it is a proven word in dictionary.com. sam, my kind sir, many apologies and kudos to your ingenuity of warping hte word brail. However i still stick to the belief that lanacious is also a word. O well. I must now go to my next class but it is soo hard to leave hte blog. goodbye fwiends!!
-rebecca
ps---I'm counting hte seconds till friday night sleepover. gobs of fun!
rebecca posted this at 1:19 PM.Ah, back to the rat race today...it thoroughly rocked my face back on. (dictionary at a glance: rocked my face back on- uh uh, not cool) I looked so glum (by the by, isn't glum the perfect word? just saying it conveys the sadness) that my mom came and picked me up from school and took me out to lunch, so that salvaged part of the day. Me and Beeka met in the hall several times and reminisced about the ski trip...ah to be young again. It is just so hard to convey to outsiders how ultra coo the ski trip was!! It was the poo...take a big whiff!! :) I miss the carefree days of card playing ("beeka": the ultimate card game ever!! and Sam with the ultra fast reflexes), snow ball fights, no sleep, laughing constantly, singing Missy Elliot's "Get your Freak on" and "Work it", and oh so many more luxurious activities. Man, oh man, good times, my friends. Oh and Mary: welcome to the blog!! Your blog was thoroughly enjoyed in my school library where I escaped from the misery to read some blogs. I was laughing so hard. Well, don't think that I am suicidal or anything, I have hope for tomorrow...and there were some fun times today but as Mary says...I have the best time with my fellow City Dwellers (and some Islanders). Well I would like to end with a song: Pho (yeah) to (yeah) syn (yeah) the (yeah) sis (yeah) yeah (yeah)!! haha Have a great one! Holla back at me...representin the bronx! :) Nicole City

Nicole posted this at 6:16 PM. Weww Hewo Fwiends!! i too have suffered the ever-looming return to school (or as i like to refer to it-torture site) i found myself singing supa fwy songs and saying way coo expressions throughout the day only to evoke stares and dissapproving looks from school freinds and passer-bys. so the only conclusion i can draw is that their faces are too rocked back on to understand the ultra coo personalities that make up peace youth group. the only shining moment in this day of darkness was when i got my picts from the trip back from target one hour photo!...you can all make copies cuz they r mad boss-sorry for the copywright infraction of the term "mad boss" islanders- well ne ways... as promised, here is the list of quotes, memories, and general coo-ness from the trip. read it, cherish it, reminice, and above all dont forget it-it will bring you back to a better day, where the snow was white and the fun never-ending.
"where's the shirt, where's the shirt"- late night dilusion quote from rere describing a morning after recklace sleeping
supertone face- also good for long lectures in class(the picture rox!)
"i sleep with lots of people"- one of my favorite megan quotes(use it at least once a day)
"so i was all like shpandeksh"- bus dilusion! enough said.
"_____ to the izzay"- this one works when you are congratulating yourself and is just generally coo!
"H2 to the izzO" "West to the V ay"
Reid and Sam's song- sure to brighten your day(soo sweet :) )
"Me and Ben...What?"- mary's reaction when accused of flirting(also very embarassing for mary when he is around)
"work it"- the best song ever
"ra tatatatatatatatata, all i hear is blah blah blah"- goes well with supertones face
"boys, boys, all type of boys, island, fishing, pagan boys"- thats the kind we like, someone should suggest the revision to missy eliot
ben from the ski lift/ happy birthday to joe- i think we might have scared him a little
get your freak on- revived from last year's trip...i think we got it stuck in everyone's head-mision accomplished
"pho-yeah-to-yeah-syn-yeah-the-yeah-sis-yeah"-confusing at first but so coo
depot from the bronx
phase 10- two hours of sheer card bliss- i finally beat sam
B E T- mary was just getting in touch with her culture
our own mack fest- very succesfull i might say( i mean what else is there to do at a supertones consert)
boys renning around in their boxers- should you look or not
"Hewo Freind"- a great way to greet someone
my own style of zigzag skiing- its the right way to do it
rere falling down while standing still due to laughter at nicole
"Mo Fo!"- very hillarious although im pretty sure Mrs. Haig thinx im corrupt now
"North Carolina come on and raise up"- good to sing in WV- helped us to remember our roots
ghetto megan- a nice try but not quite black
princess rere from the pizza place- all the guys want her
pile up in the lift line- almost disasterous
invention of BEEKA the card game- the best thing since electricity
"where are u going"-liz "skiing, on the mountain, in the snow"-charity "the one that goes downhill"-random guy in line w us
a terrible rendition of brit spears during kareoke- sam would have torn it up
skye's dancing- also during kareoke
fake sleeping- oh the things you hear
bayonet-- "We're not speaking French!!!"- jordan
brailling- sorry sam but it rally isnt a word...webster doesnt lie
universal dance- works for every song but best when preformed to "yes lord"
"it helps if you take the little plastic thing off"- thats for the boys...i dunno what it means
"____s the poo take a big whiff"
"look lady..."- sorry we woke you up boys
"Wauwa and weewee"
well guys i guess thats it... if i missed something email me at charitym@mindspring.com i hope this list satisfys all your needs...think of it when you need cheering up..heck, just print it out and take it to school with you...till friday, peace to all my mo fo's
charity posted this at 5:36 PM. Hola city folk. May i just start out saying mary--you rock my face off to the max. those were great jokes. I miss everyone from the ski trip sooo much that i definetly am skipping my study hall illegally right now and i'm sitting in the library reading the blogs just b/c... Last night i could not fall asleep from sheer depression on missing my roomates (ie homies) so i had to sing myself to sleep..h-to-tha-izzo,v-to-tha-izzay!!! I despise school, as always, and everyone here at school combined are still not half as cool as any one from our youth group. My hands tingle to play card games, i'm most def going into withdrawal. during english amongst the dronings of Hemingway, i relived the last night when reid and sam sang to us,,i almost laughed out loud it ws soo funny. definetly cheered me up though. Well the bell just rang and i definetly cannot skip another class so i leave you wiht this joke--what do a chicken and a grape have in common?????? they are both purple except for the chicken. ahahahaha!! Mary Cheek expect a missy elliot call from me tonight. Luv you all!!! North Carolina, come on and raise up!
-rebecca
rebecca posted this at 10:53 AM.Well....the the ski trip was all that i hoped it would be and more.....I have never laughed so much in my life. I don't know what I would do without my fellow city dwellers! Most def! I have way too many thoughts about the trip so I'll just stick to what I came here to write about for now. Since Reid didn't have any womanhater jokes for some comical relief on the bus ride home, I've compiled my own favorite jokes.....enjoy!

What do you do with a man who thinks he's God's gift to women?
~Exchange him.
What's the difference between men and government bonds?
~The bonds will eventually mature.
How do you force a man to do sit-ups?
~Put the TV remote control between his toes.
Why did God create man first and then woman?
~You always have a sloppy-copy before a great work of art.
Why do men like smart women?
~Opposites attract.
Why do men flex their muscles around women so much?
~They have nothing else to brag about.
Why do men have to work harder than women?
~Women get it done right the first time.
Men are like....department stores. Their clothes should always be half off :)
Men are like....laxatives. They irritate the poop out of you.
Men are like....parking spots. The good ones are taken and then rest are handicapped.
so good! so good! well....its getting late and its back to school tomorrow!!! Soon we will be reunited in the city!! Until then, peace out my homies!
Mary City
Mary posted this at 10:03 PM.Hello fellow city-dwellers! This blog is definitely coo. Everytime I read it, it's just so reaffirming that the city life is definitely for me...we don't need those little palm trees--we rather enjoy the carbon dioxide in the air...It makes us feel alive! Well, the ski trip is tomorrow and what joy it brings me to think about it! Rooming with Mary is definitely gonna rock my face off (and maybe we will come to a conclusion on our debate about a certain "someone"...I think that my fellow city-dwellers agree with my position). Oy with the poodles already! I can not wait till the bliss tomorrow morning will bring. Ah, well till next time, I will dream of the city...hopefully one day I will reach it! Until then, Nicole City :)

Nicole posted this at 5:00 PM. Happy New Year to my fellow city folk! This new blog is most definitely going to knock the socks off of any other! Oh, yes and the bet... very sad! I have no more words for you all. Just sad. And as to our mission, we have chosen the higher road of civilization! Minus the fried duck feet that is( no offense to Charity City of course)! I could go for a little asian cuisine anytime, always including the ever fresh and (ahh yes my friends) frozen seafood! That rocks my socks off! The city is ours for several reasons... 1. clothing, we wear it, it's mostly clean, and no, we do not wear any sort of raw woodland material at any time. 2.Lights. We do not mind the lack of stars because despite what the multitudes may think we possess quite fascinating lives that keep us so busy we never notice! And last but never least..3. well that's a secret for now! Anywheres, (a more interesting version of the ever monotonous anyways) peace and love to the islanders and we hope no hearts have been broken in the reading of this blog! Goodbye for now! Megan City
Megan posted this at 4:12 PM. Ahhh alas and alak! this is a great blog. Our friend megan has joined our philosophical travelings and we are
off to post our random, completely unrelevant views on the world. But today i have nothing to post for i am consumed with thoughts of hte ski trip. ahh to feel the icy wind as i fly down the slopes (or roll). I can't wait and our room is so great. Charity and i are going shopping for adequate junk food tonight. fare well.
rebecca
rebecca posted this at 3:44 PM.Greetings! our new blog is sure to rival that of the islanders. we feel that the women have been misrepresented and contrary to popular belief--the city rocks my face off! dictionary at a glance---that rocks my face off:ultra cool...any hoo-certain wind of a bet for ski trip brewing---just a shout out to those participating...uh-uh, not cool! ponder this in your spare time...we dream of the big city, a nice business suit, steady schedules, a place where the seafood is processed and frozen(fishing? who ever heard of that?), a multi-purpose super store where one can find fried duck feet and a new scarf, and above all else a place to escape the crazy islanders!--no offense of course :)
