This is your blog!!

10 points to anyone who gets the TV show reference in the title. I also toyed around with calling this post: Early Stolen Stuff. My, how we do change! What do you do when you don’t know what to post, take other peoples stuff!
In this post, I have gone back to the earliest posts (most of them the 1st or close to 1st) from several blogs that I know and love (and at least one that is no longer active). Since sooo much changes over the years or almost a year in most of our cases, I thought it would be fun to revisit what we were like back when...

I'll start with myself:

Why?
"Why" is the perfect title for my life right now. Why are all my friends conniving assholes? Why is everything wrong? Why is something that was right before, now wrong? Why do I have to choose a career now? Why am I just another white sophomore. (i don't say white to be racist, i say it to state fact). It makes it hard to choose a college when none of them want white people anymore! I miss all the people who graduated last year, i feel a big hole where they used ot be. Everything that defined high school for me when I was a fish is now gone. I'm nervous about our first marching competition this year. The show itself is good, but the band is crap. With some luck, we might pull off a two. If people thought that lori made mistakes, they were in for a surprise when Tara came and took over. Too much crap is going on at the same time. I already need a break. I like chemistry w/ Mr. Carey and BCIS w/ Mrs Davenport, though. They're my favorite teachers. School is nice with Mr. Oldham, the new principle. We can wear flip-flops now. I was feeling depressed and was watching the presedential debates for an english assignment, which made me think of chris fisher, so i went to his blog, where i clicked a link to lori's blog, where i wanted to comment, so i created my own blog. I was depressed, but i feel better now. I cant wait for one act play to start, I'll have to post pics.

Notice that I referred to myself as a fish (I never use that term) And I said the Mrs. Davenport was one of my favorite teachers!!! I don't know what I was smoking. I didn't have an audience yet, so my posts where a little more geared towards people that didn't know me.


Now for Julia:


hello everyone! thanks to my friend andrew ya'll have two lovely pictures of me to view *i would like to point out that i do not refer to myself as "Sexy J" OK!? and i did not write those comments."wow, what a weekend i had. first i had to endure 20 hours of k-8th graders and try to teach them some concept of dance for a fundraiser the drillteam had. it went fairly well, but the group i taught (third graders) were VERY emotional. i guess they were right at that stage were they started to "cat fight" and name call....in other words they were already turning into teenagers. all i can say is that it was NOT a pretty picture. One girl even was deppressed b/c she had TOO MANY FRIENDS! oh yeah, it really sucks to be popular right?!on saturday we had our first marching contest of the year. of course we sucked and we got a "2" and we are going to DIE this following week. luckly it is supposed to rain tommorrow, so there really is a God out there!!!!! must go study for chem.

The Beginning
well this is my first post in my blog. wohoo. it is still quite under construction so excuse me while i slave away on my piece of crap comuter and get it to work....

This is when I had her password and username and could screw with her blog at will!!

And Sarah before I knew she had a blog:

Steve
A request was made, after I mentioned my skill for finding random connections, for me to demonstrate said skills. Well, I will make connections between Steve, from the hit children's television show Blue's Clues, and an international smuggling ring. It is all right there on the show. Every thing has a secondary meaning. Número Uno -- You see, he, as shown from his striped shirt, is a referee type person in the middle of this ring, he delegates who gets what, when and where. He is really a puppet of the leader, whose identity will be reveled in time.Número Dos -- The paintings on the wall. They show where the next shipment will be from and to. There are usually two on the wall and he jumps into one. The one they pass over is the port the shipment is leaving and the one he jumps into is the arrival point. These can be easily deciphered; if it shows a jungle it is South America, outer space—Houston, bathing suit—Miami, and so on.Número Tres —The characters. Shovel and Pail are a not so subtle threat. Periwinkle, the purplish cat, is the torture specialist and after she is done with her “cat and mouse” games, Shovel and Pail and the mouse go and “play” in the sand box. Mail Box is the entity in charge of threats. All those letters from kids, yah, those are strategically filmed to show the threatenees that the threateners can get to them and their families. Alarm clock is a clock. No, I am not stating the obvious, I telling you her function. She is how they relay the arrival time. Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper are the watchdogs. Their only purpose was to make sure everything ran smoothly. But it did not so the boss arrived on the set. Who is the boss you ask. The only one it could be, Paprika. Did you think it was Blue? Of course not, she is oblivious to what is going on.Número Cuatro—The set. Just a ploy to catch the eye of a child or drug induced hallucination. The real reason Steve is gone is not so he could go to college, no, it is because he dipped into the goods one to many times.That good boy, not overly intelligent, kinda slow, just a tad to close to his dog image is a cover, kids. He was actually a cunning mastermind of communication as previously asserted.

Dear Diary
Well, I have no where else to put my innermost thoughts and feelings, might as well put them on the internet where anyone has access to them, right? Actually the odds that someone I did not tell about this finding it is slim to non existent so my thoughts and feelings are safe. I hope.Here goes-here I am at work talking about sizes and metabolism and so on. Oh the joys of the gym. Kyle is in town, or will be in half and hour. Yahoo!!!I have yet to take my Humanities final from last semester. Procrastination is an inspiration!
And it makes the world go round.
This week sucked for the most part. There was the festival of the broken hearts and stuff carried over from a really sucky weekend, forgotten assignments, and hip pains. Wonderful.
I really would not mind Valentines but it is so commercialized. Why oh why can we not celebrate it in the old ways. The pagan ways of assigned"partners" and drunken dancing. But no, we cram ourselves full of this romantic crap and chocolate.
Gee, I sound cynical.
I don't feel like saying anything else at the moment so
ta!!!!

Becky,Becky,Becky,Becky,Becky we love you, amen!
Happy graduation, Becky!!!!! This is your present, so you better keep it updated. Ill give you your username and password, and the link to you is on my blog.

The main difference in Becky's posts now is that they are not made by me

Parris when she was a little stranger (get the triple meaning)

www.thegreatwhitenothing.blogspot.com all of you worthless people who look at my website (which is probably no one) should go look at andrew's

This is when my blog was the only freshmore one that was fully set-up

What can be said about Crias

Introduction
Well, here it is... My first post. Hooray! My name is Chris Fisher from Celina, Texas. I'm still giddy over the novelty of this blog thing. I'll get better at it, I promise. I'm so excited. I'm going to be online!!! Does anyone want my autograph? I want to give a shout out to Kelly, Jordan, Merechoch, Shelly, Audra, L, and anyone else who gets to read this!Okay, enough of that. Let's get down to business. Welcome to The Scarlet Left. This is basically going to be my thoughts and what not. As of right now, this blog exists to document the important things in my life right now to make it easier for stalkers and people that want to know what's going on with me during college. Currently, the most important things in my life are politics, work, Kelly Clarkson, and getting ready for college. I am pissed off! I am pissed off that Dubya won the electoral vote even though he lost the popular vote by over 500,000 votes. This makes me question the "one person, one vote" rule. Was a voter in Texas (where Dubya was sure to win) truly equal to one in Florida? Well considering the fiasco in Florida where they didn't count all of the votes.... But seriously, with the electoral college, what was the point of voting for Gore in TX? We all knew he would lose Texas. Nothing could be done about it. That would just discourage me from voting. If I knew that my one vote wouldn't count as one vote in the grand scheme of things, then why should I even vote? Good thing I wasn't old enough to vote in that election. That said, I will still dwell on the ramifications of that fateful SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) decision Bush v Gore. What kind of crap was that? Oh, since we can't count in Florida, just let the Supreme Court decide who should be President. I was actually excited when they said the decision would come down to those three counties: Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade. I used to live in Broward county, so I know how liberal they are down there. In fact, some joke that South Florida is the only place where you have to go North to get to "the South." If the election was indeed up to those three counties, then Gore would win. Not if Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush had anything to say about it. See Michael Moore's Stupid White Men chapter one for further details. So now when I refer to Dubya as "unelected" "selected" "the chosen one" ""President"" "Resident of the United States" or any other of the like, you know why. I am pissed that Gore didn't have what it took to win the electoral vote without Florida. You can't expect to win an election as a centrist neoDem like Clinton without Clinton's charisma. Many people during this election felt as though it was choosing the lesser of two evils. Others voted for Nader. To all of you: look what you've done! Y'all need to take some responsibility for the last 2.5 years! True, if Gore was more to the left where he belonged, you might've voted differently. However, 90,000ish voted for Nader in Florida. Gore officially lost Florida by 537 votes. How many of those 90,000 would change their votes to Gore in order to prevent giving the nation to Dubya? Would that even matter? I mean, they could come up with a new way to "count" the votes so that it still wouldn't matter. But that notwithstanding, does it not make sense that 538 of those 90,000 are more important than 538 Nader voters in TX? Or even one to one? Are you beginning to see my dilemma? One person, one vote--not really. I'm doing my duty as a patriot by transferring my residency to Florida when I leave for college. I'm pissed off at this redistricting crap! I will refer you to Byron's blog for that. He does good work. I'm really pissed off at the political scene these days, and I could talk all night over the subject, but I have to get up in the morning and scheme how to get off work so I can table and party for Dean tomorrow.I work at Chick-fil-A at the South-East corner of Preston Road and State Highway 121 in Frisco/Plano, TX. Work is 20-30 minutes away from my house by car. I've been working there for two years as of the end of July. I almost didn't apply because of the location. Well, check out the link. That report was just released before I applied. But, I'd been looking for a job all summer, and this freaking Blockbuster in McKinney wouldn't give me a yes or no and I waited for their answer. Anyways, I've been rather happy at Chick-fil-A. I usually work the headset..."Thank you for choosing Chick-fil-A; what can I get for you?""I'll have a number 5.""8 pack or 12 pack?""8 pack""Would you like that Valuesized for only 39 cents?""Sure!""What to drink with that?""Dr. Pepper.""What else for you?""A brownie and that's all.""Okay, a #5-8 pack, valuesized with a large Dr. Pepper and a brownie are $6.53 at the window. Thank you!"I may be a cent or two off on that total. But it's fine. Sometimes they put me on dining room, and I really hate that. We call the dining room DEIDRA after a girl that got it all the time and was so pissed off about that. Last week, I had DEIDRA 3 out of 4 times that I worked! I was like "L NO!" I bitched to the manager that I didn't want the trainee position, and I am able to fulfill a position that requires gray matter. I've been on headset all week ;-)Kelly is so awesome!!! As soon as I figure out how this all works, I'll post some pictures of me meeting her and attending her movie premiere. I SO sat 5 seats away from her in From Justin to Kelly!! I love her! "Miss Independent; miss self-sufficient; miss, keep your distance."In August, I'm going to the University of Miami with Honors to double major in motion pictures and political science minoring in mathematics and music. I'll tell the story some other time because it is really late.Here it is. The end of the first post. Someday I'll wish that I could come back to this and totally revamp this first post. Tomorrow, I have to get up around 900. I'm scheduled to work from 200-1030, but I need to get out of it. I want to go tabling for Dean with John (friend in Dean) in Oak Lawn. Then afterwards, there are some Democratic parties in the area. So, yeah, I have to get out of work! Well, see you people later!Peace, Love, and Kelly,Chris


Behold the All-Powerful Scarlet Left
Wow, the combination of left extremism, insanity, no sex, and a little common sense makes for some good political forecasting. I once wanted to be a meteorologist, so perhaps that explains it. Anyways, I'm doing pretty well for myself. Let's check the recent accomplishments1) On July 17, I forecasted nearly play by play the events of July 29 with the Democratic trip to New Mexico and what not. (I may have had help from Byron and a source from within the United States House of Representatives.)2) The powers that be obviously read my suggestions for combating terrorism as the air marshals are back on higher risk flights.3) While not political, I think it is worth mentioning that yesterday my site had the most visits ever in a single day: 18! (Byron also may have had a hand in that with his reference.) Let's keep up the good work people. I really appreciate yous (thanks Carl) minding my business for me.Tonight I predict the following: Dean will be president in 2005. I will work tomorrow from 1130-800 at the mall and all this tax-free weekend. I will be late for work. I will cry next Monday on my last day of work. I will have lemon pie shoved in my face. I know, I know, where's the fun? What kind of psychic am I if I only predict obvious things? We know I'm working at the mall tomorrow. Of course I'll be late. Duh! Dean will win in 2004. Maybe I'll try more fallible predictions tomorrow.

I knew that Brian knew about Chris's blog when he first began it (or early on) and before I even knew what a weblog was, but I never read it back then. I hadn't really spoken to Chris since I was in 7th grade, and I hadn't had a long active conversation with him since I was in 2nd grade, and discovering that I could communicate with someone that I thought was soo cool to have as a friend when I was only in 2nd grade, and to be able to keep in touch with Lori and see the potential to stay in touch with all the people that I would ever want to talk to and learn things about them that I never knew was overwhelming.

Tifanny was maddddd

What a horrendus weekend
First of all I would like to say, what is up with everyone lately? I mean there is people who keep complaining but they complain all the time, and then there is some people who just are biting others heads off, and then there are people who are just in a pissy mood, people what is your PROBLEM? I want to know if I am the cause of any of it because if I am then just tell me and I shove myself into immortal darkness. And to the person who probably really hates me right now I would like to know if I was the yellow pill because I have like the hugest idea that I am, so please let me know. Now that I have vented, my weekend has been crap basically. Friday night at the football game it was horrible because I got attacked by ants that covered my entire foot, then the 4 hours of sleep we got on Friday night. Saturday was such a drag, that's when the whole charade got started, people complaining that they didn't get to hang with someone and people getting way to pissy. That lasted until we finally got home when everyone went to home to hopefully get some sleep! *hint hint* Anyways my day got a little better, I got home then I had to hurry up and get clothes to wear for church on Sunday and I had to get dressed to go to a nail salon. (didn't take too long) Anyways I was out once I got into the car, we finally pulled into the salon in Denton about 5:15ish we were a little late. It was fine because I got a facial massage and I got my nails done. Then we went back to one of my friend's house in Denton to stay the night, I got there and was out. Sunday was ok, it was better than Saturday I can tell you that! And now I had to go to the DMV and go to the dentist on the Monday of October. And now I am sitting here listening to my 3rd Harry Potter cd while I ponder about what is up with people nowadays but I guess I will let those people sort it out and if they want to talk I am here. See you tomorrow!

Brian was all albout his intensely lone flyswatter saga
The Story" Revived!
I felt the end was near for this nice little circle of communications I had going - emailing people, writing down complex thoughts, making posts - but now it might be safe again. It turns out my manipulative father had set up my email account so that I couldn't keep himout of it, so sending "deep" emails from there was out of the question; they would no longer be personal. He monitored where I went, so he read all my posts. He even went through all my files and read the "really deep" stuff I won't even put on here. My world was literally falling apart before me, myself having to run around wildly to avoid the falling rubble. "Big Brother" was watching me. It was exactly like 1984 - I was no longer able to display complex thoughts or emotionsfor fear of examination, reprimand, or general awkwardness. But now, as any of you reading this know, I ahve a new blog, one that I won't leave any paths to, any traces left on my computer. I have a new email address, although I do still also havemy joimail one. I have removed all "really deep" writings from the computer so they can't be accessed. I should be safe, at least for now. I will continue to post whatever the hell I feel like posting, if not just out of sheer rebellion.Until later --Brian


and he was also fighting the oppresion of home life. Sadly, his first blog with his real first post is gone forever. A sacrifice for the freedom we all share

Chris from leadership camp kept things short and sweet

First Entry
This is my first entry


I've never even really met Cassie, and I've barely even seen her in person

Hey Everybody!
Welcome to Cool Cass's World!About Me: I'm a freshman at Boston University (Boston, MA for all of those, well, I won't say it). Today is my second day of classes. I'm taking management as a system, psychology, writing, and microeconomics. It's gonna be great!Just to warn everybody, I'm probably going to be highly sarcastic when I'm writing this, and I can't spell at all-- so if you see something misspelled, keep to yourself.Anywho, I just want to say hi to all my friends spread out across the country at college, well maybe not- Chris, Ashlee, Shelly, Raini, Audra, Bobby, Katie, Morgan, Gage, Christina, & to all of my friends back home in Celina, TX- Liz, Becky, Brittany, Lori, Anna, Melanie, Catherine, Tara, Auburn, Tiffany, Scott, Justin, Austin, Porsche, & to everyone else I forgot.Anyways, trust me, this is going to get more interesting, maybe. And if this is boring, it's Chris's fault. Yes, Chris's fault. Let's just blame everything on Chris (just like all my therapy bills--- to find out what the heck I'm talking about visit Chris's blog.) Anyways, that's all for now. I have a paper to write. So until later, Bye!Signing off: Cool Cass Eleano the flying goat from Canadia

She shortened her name because it was too long to sign in text messages. I like this green, too

Jenny, who..

...Is not longer with us

Leah is still a bird

Mesquite Marching Festival
Well, what can I say.... First of all, welcome to my blog! Some of my friends have 'em, so I thought I might make one. We had our first marcing contest today, and as predicted, we received a 2. Go us. (voice dripping with late-night sarcasm). Keyes (lone tuba player) wants to have a sectional on Sunday. No can-do for this aspiring oboist. I have a lesson. Friday night we had our Lil' Las Gatitas slumber party. My two friends and me taught a rather... rambuncuous group of third graders. Not so much teaching as yelling. I even had the principle's kid in my group. At least she was one of the well-behaved ones. Needless to say, the only parent to complain was a third-grade parent. Oh well, what can you do? About the name of this blog:My name, Leah, means "from the meadow" and as I rather like birds, I thought the meadow lark would be a good refrence to my stuff... for anyone remotely interested. I have some stories posted over at fanfiction.net, though I have a bad habit of spontaneous updating that might anger some readers. Anyho, its late and I should probably just write more tommrrow. Ta.

It's odd to remeber the events that we have written about. And sometimes it is embarrasing to revisit things that we have said.

And don't forget my idol:

Brittany did not quit, so I guess that's a change


Themes I have noticed: Band Sucks, Blogger Sucks, School Sucks, Life Sucks, Goats are cool, but bad English teachers--who teach nouns to their Pre-AP English 1 class when they can't even name the indirect object in a sentence and tell you that your vocab essay isn't long enough because, while it has more sentenses than John's, it didn't take up as much space because it wasn't double spaced (which it wasn't required to be) or as big of a font size, and who need an ambush makeover--are most certainly not. (no remarks about any typos made in this post because of my rant on English teachers)

4,910 words
Most of them are other people's
Most of those where Chris's
10 pages in Microsoft Word
One of my more colorful posts--its hard to cycle through the same light colours that show well on a black background and not get too repetitive.
