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! :)

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!)

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

Bonjour mon amies~
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~

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-

What is this craziness? Somebody else blogging...! :) 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 <><

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... Have a great week everybody and 4 more days of school....woo hoo

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 <><

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 <><

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!*~*

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~

*~*Hello*~*
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.

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

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!

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!!

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.

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-

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!!

Hello all: I'm sorry for my vacation from blogging but it was much needed. Now I come back to you with fresh thoughts and a renewed self. 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? Because I was at bible study and you other slackers were not! But that's okay b/c I loved seeing Mama C and Ry. :) And I like our new book, it's hott! Well, this is just too long...Nikki from the Blog

well fellow cders, the perfect prom dress and i have been united. I love it, but i'm going to wear flip flops w/ it for comfort so eh. My prom date Jon ( aka sebati) is wearing a top hat and bringing a cane so it should be really fun. I did just realize however that my dress is a deep royal blue, my date has a white shirt and a red vest. So we will be stylish and patriotic at the same time :o) god bless america :o) well school is school, cant wait to get out. 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!!

hrm, no one has seemed to blog, but i have come to accept this fact. word to my fellow city dwellers--i am soooo sorry about biblestudy last nigt. please forgive me, i know i emailed all of you saying id cya there but an opportunity came that i simply couldnt resist. thank you sooo much nicole for driving my stuff over. okay, now, let me fill you in on my life. last night i went to the hurricanes game against toronto(a really good team) and it was so fun. see, i got these free tickets last minute and i havent been to many games this season, so i went there instead of bible study. bad charity. the game was so great and we tied and went into overtime. also...i saw kristi yamaguchi!!!!! okay, so i kindof just looked at her from afar, but, ahhh, she is so beautiful!! also, jordan was there!(you know from the beach) it was cool. oh, and another thing, 21 days until i turn 18! this is pretty wierd actually, i mean, i just feel so old. going to college, and turning 18. i will be able to buy cigarettes and go to clubs. im also a little dissapointed with myself for being such a pansy these last 18 years of my life. i havent really done anything illegal, and soon, all the illegal things that i could have done will be legal because ill be 18. wow that was cornfusing but really, have i wasted my years of underageness, or have i just been smart by playing it safe? well, i guess i will never know unless i go to a club or sompthin in these last 21 days of innocence. well freinds, this is getting rediculously long so i will peace out...also, dont read this and think that you should go out and party hard(cough cough...underclassmen)--following the rules is the way to go!! oh and also the countdown till prom has begun..30 days!! oh david!!!

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 <><-

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.

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 <><

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 <><

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

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 <><

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!

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 <><

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!

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*~*

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 <><-

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

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.

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!
-rebecca
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?

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.

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!

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!!

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!

List of things that went wrong today:
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*~*

Hey guys...Well there isn't really much to say...bball is over b/c we lost last night. It was very sad and I didn't go to school today b/c I have so much freakin makeup work to do from yesterday and today that I just stayed home and worked all day. I'm feelin a little discouraged right now with things in general...I guess I'll see y'all Sunday. Good luck tonight, Two Far Down. -Nicole "The Enforcer"-

"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)

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..

wow, what a reaction--classic Don Sir Walter quote--ah, how i love chemistry videos. anyways, here is segment two of a glimpse into the lives of the city dwellers.

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!!

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

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!

i know my bloggage has been dwindling lately so i owe you guys an apology but i also feel that i owe you the post of a lifetime...

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...

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!

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*~*

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)

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!!

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-

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.

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.

Hey folks! I must say that I missed Beeka quite a bit last night:o( So sad..... 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)

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???


-there is no right or wrong answer, only a select few questions that will work and get an absolute answer. My question (after much pondering) is "Are you breathing?" what is your question?? email me at rkeegan@nc.rr.com.

I just finished my second CD ( not city dweller, the real deal ;o) and it didn't turn out half bad! 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! I think he gets it:o) Peace and love to all! Until tonight then! Oh Cders, what the delio for tonight? Please call me!

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 <><

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!

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.

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!

"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!

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

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.

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.
