As always, I'd like to remind you all about the
Archives, which is where I put all of the old posts/comments. And
if this website would let me put up my Germany pictures *STAB*, I
would. I'm going to try this new website I've heard about where I
can store pictures. Maybe that will work? Yes. It will. I'LL
FORCE IT TO! (lol colleen)
Anywho...I'm thinking of having my T-Shirt making thing for S/B
soon. I'd invite you...but YOU'RE NOT IN SCHOLASTIC BOWL! Not to
mention those ditchers *cough* *cough* Thank you, Ashley, for
staying, and knowing who King Richard the Lion-Hearted was. And
for calling Ross an idiot. Mwahahaha. It will be fun. I mean, my
room is actually clean for once! Yay!
Lalala. Oh yes, so babysitting is going
actually quite well. Last week I made $155. And $45 in lesson
money...so $200! Yay! My parents opened a checking account for me,
but they still haven't given me my checkbook yet. Bah. Some
interesting things I hear when babysitting:
Jack-"It's half shark and half fish!!" Me-"Jack...a
shark IS a fish."
Maggie-"I want to make a lemonade stand!" Me-"Sure,
maybe we can sell bracelets or have free makeovers too..."
Maggie-"Yeah!! Free makeovers for 25 cents!" Me-"How
is it free then?"
Oh, those crazy children. Demon childs, I mean. Poor Quinton. He
has to endure being called such names as "Buttkin" and
"Stupid". At least Sammy likes him. Sammy is such a
nice doggy until she starts whipping me with her tail or getting
me all wet with her doggy smell.
I've been having all of these school-related
dreams lately. It's pretty weird since I can see myself in the
classroom with only like 4 other people with the teacher. Yet, I
haven't been in the room yet, I don't know what my teacher looks
like, and not to mention that fact that the room looks like a
Victorian house with curtains and stuff. And then, sometimes I
have these other dreams where I go on these huge quests and I go
on dreaming for like 10 years and the good guys save the world.
Usually, unless they're in the middle of a fight and then I wake
up and I never find out who wins. It makes me mad that I usually
forget all of the details as soon as I wake up, and all that I'm
left with is just the imprint/memory of having the dream.
Have you ever seen the old TV show "Sabrina the Teenage
Witch"? Well, when I was littler, like 9 or 10, it used to
be one of my all-time favorite shows. The reason I'm bringing
this up is because sometimes I wish that with a point of my
finger and a swirly sparkle of magic, I could make things go my
way so much easier. Sometimes, I would imagine myself pointing my
finger and having my room clean itself, or changing the clothes I
had on into something really spectacular. Stuff like that. I wish
that magic was real. Well, there is magic in all of us and in the
world, but I wish that there was the deeper kind of magic that I'm
always reading about in all of my fantasy books where there isn't
any ugly pollution or horribly self-absorbed people. It would
just be me and a group of talented/lovable people out to do good
and explore all around...It's hard to explain. Grrr.
Question: (will later become poll when I'm not so lazy) Which do
you like the best? State your name and pick only 1, unless you
choose other...
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Hitchhiker's Guide
The Simpsons
Anime (any kind)
Other (comments, misc)
This could be interesting. What sayest thee?

All old comments will be posted under the
Archives section, so if you missed a few days of updating, you
can see what I posted up. I'd also like to remind you all again
to maximize each and every page you visit in order to view its
full potential. Don't underachieve - overachieve!
Let's see...updates...I'm still working on the site links. They
are links to pages that I've made, not to other websites out
there on the Web, like a certain someone thought. Cough. Q. Cough.
So far, I've 'finished' the first seven links and the last (miscellaneous).
Yes, so to fathers everywhere, I wish you a
good 24 hours. Well, maybe more like about 10 1/2 hours since it's
about 1:30 now. I thank my good friend Quinton for pointing out
mistakes, such as missing pages, Capitalization and how the word
"binoculars" is plural. He's on his way to getting a
silver trophy!
I'm still thinking of making that Germany pictures site. I have
many pretty pretty pictures that the amazing Tony Prisco took.
Ashley caught a glimpse of them in English...I'll probably end up
having a separate website for them all since altogether, the
pictures take up about 1 gig of space...ahh! At the website, I'll
just pick the ones I like the best and leave them for you to look
at and download ^_^
a picture of the italians we
met in salzburg:Hopefully, your browser will adjust and if it
doesn't (meaning, the picture is way too big and you can't
minimize it), just tell me and I'll make it smaller for you.
Anyways, about the Italians: We met them in Salzburg late at
night right after the chaperones took us to see what Mozart's
birthplace (Salzburg) looked like in the dark. It was a long walk/hike
up, but it was amazing up there. The city lights blazed and there
were great vantage points. When we were done taking pictures and
all, we kids went back down and the grownups stayed. While we
were down in the city, window shopping and admiring the goods, a
bunch of Italian guys saw us and swooped down. How could we tell
they were Italians? Hmmm, lemme think. For one, they had thick
Italian-accented English when they tried talking to us. Next,
they introduced themselves, and one of them was a DJ from Venice.
Also, they kept on waving their arms over their heads and hugging
each other and overall being very physical. However, some were
smoking and they wanted us to go drink with them. Misty, Dan,
Elizabeth, and I think someone else left since they didn't like
it, so I was the only "freshie" left. I was just
curious, although a little scared. I was talking with Marie,
Sarah and Laurel and they agreed that if it came down to them
wanting us to go to a pub or some bar, we would leave immediately,
but until then, we'd just stay. Tony saw us looking worried and
when we told him, he assured us nothing would happen. And nothing
did. The Italians were funny and one of them had like a crush on
Marie. He insisted on her being in a picture with him and he even
kissed her on the cheek, while she looked a little anxious.
Another Italian even gave Sarah his phone number. Or was it hotel
number? Something like that...but we eventually left and headed
back to our own hotel.
That was a long explanation...but I'll have a story or picture
description for each page...prepare to be sehr froh!
a goofy picture of most of
the group, outside of Linderhof: All of us wanted to take a
group picture so we could surprise Herr B later. But not all of
us were in this one since Elizabeth was out exploring by herself
and we didn't want to wait for her. All of the girls (save Hayley,
who didn't have long enough hair) put up each other's hair in
these crazy ponytails over our heads. And...voila! The picture
you see now. Oh yeah, and ignore my bright yellow thingy. I was
warm, and it was cold. End of story ^_^
Neuschwanstein (means
something like "New Swan Stone"): The amazing
castle that the Disneyworld castle was modeled off of. Tony took
a lot of pictures of the exterior...if only we were allowed to
take pictures inside, but we had an evil tour guide. Sigh...the
bedroom was so...indescribable. The walls in each room were
themed, and the legend of Tristan and Isolde was inside the
bedroom. If you haven't heard it, go look it up. It's
heartbreaking...but the wall paintings were pretty. A bookmark I
bought inside the castle has a tiny pic of the bedroom so maybe I
can scan it or something like that. Side story: The sun was
beating down on us so a lot of the people in our group kept on
feeling my hair...too bad Tony didn't get a picture of that. Ha.

can see what I posted up.
Let's see...updates...I've created placeholders for the pages I
don't have up yet. I made the Hall of Infamy, Archives section, a
Recommended and Calendar page, and I think that's about it.
Grrrrr. Hover your mouse over the picture above...(7th grade) If you can't get it at first you might have to position your mouse over the center and scroll down a bit until you get it...o_O
News: I hear that Andy might come over next Saturday with his older sister and his parents. For those of you who remember him...or at least stories of him, I welcome your laughter gladly. If you don't know who he is, then prepare to hear my story... Andy and his parents live in Washington D.C. His parents were really good friends with my parents back when they were all young and I don't know if they had kids yet when they met. Anyways, his oldest sister Mindy is about my sister's age and his older sister Shannie is a year younger than my brother. Andy is my age. Anyways, last summer, certain people were entertaining the idea that our parents wanted to set us up with each other. I don't think that's why they came over but whatever. Andy had to sit next to me in the backseat of our mini-van when we drove all over. We visited Chicago several times, walking by Lake Michigan, walking through a flower garden and etc etc. On the way back from an excursion, my evil older brother Kevin, a.k.a Fried Stew Tastes Bad, told Andy he'd give him $50 if he'd make out with me. Thank goodness nothing happened. I still remain the chaste and as yet unkissed Een. *sigh* Anyways, that's about it. Andy was a cool kid. We played Smash Brothers late at night. He has cute pajamas. Tee hee ^_^

If you find any mistakes, tell me and I'll put
you in my Hall of Infamy. It doesn't matter how small it is. It
could be either a missing link that doesn't show up, a link that
doesn't open in a new window, or the failure of a picture to show.
Start searching. Now. You know, that gives me an idea. I might
even make an annual "Easter Egg" hunt where I
purposefully put mistakes in and the person with the most wins
something. Anyways, you can either tag it in, put it in my
guestbook or email me. This is all because I want to make this
website easy for you to navigate and so you won't be frustrated
trying to find something. Also, if I don't have a page up (because
I'm lazy), just remind me as kindly as possible and I'll work on
it. All I need is motivation and I can usually finish anything
within a day or two. Also regarding mistakes...it's a first come-first
served basis so I'll compare the dates and time you told me. Make
it a friendly competition. You know you want to be in the Hall.
Oh yeah, if you're wondering where the old comments on this page
went, check out the Archives section. I've decided to just have
one at a time so you won't have to endlessly scroll down.
Handwriting samples are always fun to look at.
It's always interesting to see how people express themselves in
their writing, and I've found that if you have similar
personalities or traits with another person, your handwriting can
look the same. Such as Chelsea's, Laurel's and Kristen's (sorry
for using you as examples). The three of them, in my humble
opinion, have a lot of creative talent that expresses itself in
art and music and their handwriting, while not identical, do look
really similar. They loop their letters and connect them so if I
don't look hard enough, I can't tell it apart.
Or maybe it's just me ^_^
Anyways, here are some handwriting characteristics and test your
handwriting. You do it by writing in both cursive and print. Just
write an ordinary sentence like..."My name is [insert name
here] and I think that v.e.r.d.a.n.t paradise is the coolest!
Kathleen is my bestest friend in the galaxy..."
It's up to you. Heehee.
Okay, here you go:
Temper is shown when you cross your t-bars more on the
right side of the stem than the left. Also, the more it happens,
the easier it is for you to lose...your temper.
Desire for responsibility is shown when you have a large
round loop in the beginning of a word. It's usually in capital
letters like W or M or N, but it can be found in S as well. If
you have this, you have a desire to be needed by a large number
of people and prefer to be the leader.
Here are
examples of Desire for Responsibility, using various fonts.
MBDP SWN MBPRW
Diplomacy is shown when your "m"
and "n" have downslanted humps. If you have this, you
have the ability to say things in a way so other people want to
hear them. You can also phrase and approach touchy subjects in a
nice, usually inoffensive way.
Enthusiasm can be seen in unusually long strokes that make
the cross bar of the "t". You're usually pretty hyped
up and excited about things. Also, know that enthusiasm is a key
ingredient to success in leadership because it motivates others
toward action.

june 16, 2004: new layout
To view this website at its best, please
maximize the screen. If you don't know how to do that, please
exit this website immediately. If you don't know how to exit the
website, please turn off your computer. There should be a little
switch that you press. And if you have no switch, go jump out of
a window. Preferably a tenth story window.
Just so you know, I've changed the HTML so that all of the pages
you want to look at should open up in a new window. Hopefully.
This is so you won't have to keep clicking the back button and
you can exit instead. And like I said before, if you don't know
how to exit, please look at the above for more information. o_O
So. Don't think it. Blah blah blah, once again she's made another
website. Well, you see, last time with the other website, certain
people had a problem with a certain banner so I decided to keep
it simple. With this layout, there IS no picture...therefore,
problem solved. *applause* Thank you, thank you. I know. I'm just
that amazing. Hmmm...I sounded suspiciously like Pat right there.
Please please please give me feedback. I will listen to whatever
you tell me. After all, that's how this page became started. ^_^
I will have an amazing guestbook made for you, not to mention a
tagboard on this page. By the way, if anyone wants to start a
webring or a blog with me, tell me. This should be fun. Oh yeah.
Go to Carvel and buy some ice cream. It's good for you. Coldstone=bad.
Carvel=good. Heehee. Alright, I'm done now.

june 16, 2004: new pages
Let's see. Well, I've updated this main page
and created the calendar page, for June and July so now I'm off
to create pages for you greedy people. From experience, all of my
links should probably make sense so I won't confuse those
brainless idiots. Oh, you're there. Oops. I mean, you amazing and
VERY intelligent people. *shifty eyes* If you have an idea for a
page or a picture, or if you would like me to link to your
website, such as Crystal and Caran's website, just tell me. I'll
be more than happy to help you out.
