PHILADELPHIA, PA – Chestnut Hill College will host a performance of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival selection, "ETTY" on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. in the Social Room, Fournier Hall. The event is sponsored by the Institute for Forgiveness and Reconciliation at Chestnut Hill College.
Ricardo Barros, Copyright 2009
"ETTY" is a touring one-woman theatrical play based on the diaries and letters of Etty Hillesum, adapted and performed by actor Susan Stein and directed by Austin Pendleton.
Using only Etty Hillesum's words, Susan Stein's adaptation transports us back to 1943 when Etty, a young Jewish woman, is about to be deported from Holland. As she prepares for the three-day journey eastward, she digs deeper into her soul to understand this piece of history and root out any hatred or bitterness, believing that humanity is the best and only solution for survival. Etty's words, insights and beliefs reach out from the Holocaust and allow us to see the power of hope and individual thought in the most extreme of circumstances. In her gentle yet forthright way, Etty asks us not to leave her at Auschwitz but to let her have a bit of say in what she hopes will be a new world.
Susan Stein is the author of "ETTY," an adaptation of Etty Hillesum's diaries and letters. Susan picked up Hillesum's diaries in 1994 for 50 cents at a yard sale after her friend, Joan, recommended it. After reading the diaries, Susan wanted to give something back to Etty and keep her spirit alive.
Susan Stein has appeared in Arthur Miller's "American Clock," directed by Austin Pendleton at HB Playwrights Foundation. She was seen at Luna Stage as the wife in Bathsheeba Doran's "A Parent's Evening." Other roles include Louise in Lanford Wilson's "The Great Nebulae of Orion," W1 in Beckett's "Play," and Wanda in Christopher Durang's "Wanda's Visit." Susan studied acting at NYU Graduate School and SUNY Purchase. She is a member of the faculty at Princeton Day School.
Austin Pendleton, the director of "ETTY," became interested in the project when he was introduced to Etty's diaries.
Pendleton's extensive theater career spans more than 40 years. He is an American film, television and stage actor, a playwright, and a theater director and teacher. He portrayed Friar Lawrence at the Delacorte Theater's production of "Romeo and Juliet" and played the army chaplain in their 2006 production of "Mother Courage." He is an ensemble member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company and the author of "Orson's Shadow," "Uncle Bob" and "Booth".
Ricardo Barros became involved in the project as a photographer following a reading of the play.
The performance of "Etty" is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Catherine Nerney, SSJ, Ph.D. at 215.248.7099 or e-mail email@example.com.

Old Oton Church
Updated on May 13, 2014
Oton church, the blending of a Greek or Byzantine plan with Gothic and Classic elements, was one one of the architectural achievements of the colonial period. Too bad it's grandeur can only be seen in pictures today, as it was destroyed in an earthquake in 1948.
The shape of the Oton Church is that of a Greek Cross, which means that the length of its four sides are equal. In the middle is a huge altar or its retablo mayor, a feature not commonly found in Philippine Churches.
What's left today is a small part of its walls, which was made into a charming and seemingly enchanting grotto located beside the new church. On top of the stone wall, a huge balete tree has grown and has hidden the stone slab because of the overgrowth its roots.

It's been exactly five years since the murder a Rockford ice cream vendor. His family continues to mourn their loss by honoring his life.
The man who shot Isidro Duran to death in July of 2007 is now facing 70 years in prison. But, Duran's family is dealing with their own life sentence, one of pain, loss, and fear.
"We're still scared that at any moment, something similar could happen to us or to one of our family members." -says Isidro Duran's daughter Maria.
Family, friends, and supporters filled every pew at the St. Peter and Paul church, in Rockford, for Duran's five year memorial. His life was taken after running from three young men who robbed his ice cream cart on Loomis Street. One of the men shot him several times in the back, killing him. The shooter's sentence has been handed down, and Maria feels that justice was served.
"I feel like they did what they could to give him the maximum sentence. I do believe we're fine with that decision." -says Maria.
As an ice cream vendor, Duran's job brought happiness to different neighborhoods around Rockford. In remembrance of his life, and his work, ice cream treats were given out at the end of today's service. Maria and her family will not stay in Rockford, but she hopes they can return each year for his memorials.
"We are always going to remember my father. If God permits, next year, we will also continue to do his church services."
LULAC President Mary Lou Castro helped with translating. She says Hispanic vendors are very easy targets for violence. Because they keep being bothered, she's speaking at the Rockford City Council meeting tomorrow night, and asking for outside help, possibly on the federal level.

Hey, What kind of fallout have we had with our recruits for 2011. Does anyone know if we are losing players for 2011? How has this impacted those who signed on before the MACC disappointment and the coaching staff bailing on them? Just wondering.
Also, can someone comment on how the new coaching staff is looking. It looks like we have a few solid coaches coming on board as well.
This team should be a contender for next year, I hope they realize this. Go Huskies!

Town Square
Stanford Powwow this weekend
Original post made by Tyler Hanley on May 10, 2007
on May 11, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Been goin to the powwow for quite some time.
It used to be right on el camino (next to the rugby field) on the lawn.
Now resides under the canopy of trees in eucalyptus grove.
There are always lots of handmade artificacts, from clothing to
jewelry, and many more items for sale by the folks that come every
year. This is, in my opinion, the greatest event of the year for the palo
alto and stanford community. Singing, dancing, drumming, arts and crafts.
Great for families, or anybody. This is a truly unique event.
on May 11, 2007 at 4:07 pm
Isn't the term powwow demeaning to indigenese?
on May 11, 2007 at 6:58 pm
I have never been to the powwow but have been planning to take my family this year. Can anyone recommend special events or good times to take my family (we have two elementary school aged children)?

This is something Matty used to do every week that I liked, so I felt I would pick it up since nobody else seems to want to. Plus, I love this kind of thing!
I will be picking who I think will win out of all the games, plus one to two upsets per week. I will keep a cumulative tally for the season to see how well I do, but here's the kicker: I want 3 other Phinsiders to join in on this with me. I have to be able to rely on them to do this week in and week out, and I would like to choose consistent posters that are not already featured on the front page regularly (sorry Lefty et al) in order to help grow this community.
Anybody who is interested can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject header "Phinsider - *your screen name*" with your picks. Please mark one of these picks to be this week's upset pick and explain why you chose that game. I will choose 3 people to be included. Below is a list of the games:
Detroit @ Dallas (1 PM)
New Orleans @ Jacksonville(1 PM)
San Francisco @ Philadelphia (1 PM)
Washington @ St. Louis (1 PM)
Tennessee @ Cleveland (1 PM)
Buffalo @ Cincinnati (1 PM)
Minnesota @ Kansas City (1 PM)
Carolina @ Chicago (1 PM)
Pittsburgh @ Houston (1 PM)
Atlanta @ Seattle (4 PM)
NYG @ Arizona (4 PM)
Miami @ San Diego (4 PM)
Denver @ Green Bay (4 PM)
New England @ Oakland (4 PM)
Jets @ Baltimore (8:30 PM)
Indianapolis @ Tampa Bay (Monday)
Just to clarify: one's love, or lack thereof, of Henne or the coaching staff will have no bearing on whom I will select. The only thing that matters is that I can count upon you to send me your picks on a weekly basis (grammatical proficiencies are a bonus). In fact, fans of other teams can join in too, that would be ideal.
Also, I realize there are probably a few pick 'em leagues around here, but it is more fun to be able to read and comment about the picks.

If reports of the 49ers looking to clear up some roster space are true, and Nnamdi IS released.. Why not, right? I realize we run a lot of zone schemes, which are not necessarily his forte.. but we could mix in more man coverage and lock down #1 receivers a little more comfortably.
He'll be affordable, already has a previous relationship with Mike Mitchell after two years together in Oakland, and might be a good mentor for a guy like Josh Norman, who has similar physical traits but obviously needs a bit of development..
Come on Gettlemen.. DO it... DO it..
Y'all's thoughts?

Granger statistically has been great. He has stayed out of trouble, said the right things to the media and "lead" the team to the Playoffs last season. The guy is a good basketball player and also at the tip top of his career. The Pacers wouldn't get anymore out of Granger than they could right now. Let's face it, its a well covered topic that Danny does not have the championship leadership skills in order to be "the guy". The team can no longer take his lackadaisical play for quarters and games in a row.
One obvious match for the Pacers would be the Hornets. Their newly acquired SG Indiana grown Eric Gordon would fit in well with this young group of Pacers. Paul George can easily start and play well at the 3 with very little drop off. Another option to be looked at is the situation at Portland. Now that Crawford chose to go and start for the Trailblazers it sends N. Batum and W. Mathews into limbo on the bench. Both Batum and Mathews are very talented young players with a lot of upside and the ability to contribute now.
The impressive playoff appearance last year and the signing of D. West has Pacers' fans excited. Let's not go overboard though, D. West has a lot to prove this year coming off of knee surgery and not playing with CP3. West is not alone, the team itself has high expectations this year. This was the off season Indy has been looking forward to for years and Bird and Moray promised moves. Don't let us down, we Pacers' fans can get over Granger (he's no Reggie) in fact that's what we're looking for. Use Danny as the valuable trade bait he is and follow through Larry.

" They ( San Antonio ) played real physical...They out-toughed us. "
Zach Randolph says the Spurs ( Yes THESE Spurs ) played physical and out-toughed them. It even sounds like Bonner had a hand in the effort. San Antonio held the Grizzlies to 43 % shooting and will need alot more of this to stay afloat without Parker, who went down in the same game with a fractured right hand.

"Just under half of the people who have tried to access the site have been successful in getting it to start up," says Tom Guterbock, director of the Center for Survey Research.
But even when HealthCare.gov starts up, a survey shows locals aren't necessarily signing up and purchasing insurance.
Researchers for the Jefferson Area Community Survey reached out to nearly 600 people in Charlottesville, Albemarle, Nelson, Greene, Fluvanna and Louisa counties. The survey's lead researcher says level of education came into play.
"People with higher education have an easier time navigating this site and people with less education seem to be more frustrated and less successful," Guterbock says.
The results show only 22 percent of high school graduates had success using the website. As the level of education increased so did success, with 86 percent of users with graduate work or a Ph.D. being successful navigating. UVA researchers say their results suggest the site can be made to work, but it isn't easy to use.
"There is concern here that, so far, they haven't really succeeded in getting people to do that process," Guterbock stated.
Guterbock says the results of the survey match up with the results statewide. More than 90,000 Virginians have applied for health insurance on the website since October 1. Of those, almost 5,000 have successfully enrolled in a plan.
Researchers say the need for insurance varied across racial and ethnic lines. They found African-Americans were more than twice as likely as the overall population to say they need to buy a new policy.

Vibration and out-of-balance equipment
When spinning equipment is out of balance. Vibration from out-of -balance rotating equipment can be frightening. The ground shakes, machines jump about, hold down bolts come loose and parts break. An unbalanced rotating body will produce forces on its bearings and transmit them throughout its structure and into the foundations.
Keywords: rotor, centrifugal forces, balance quality.
Below lists some common causes for unbalance.
Bent or bowed between support bearings
Overhung weight bends shaft under gravity
Unevenly distributed solid or liquid inside rotor
Loose parts on the rotor
Eccentrically manufactured diameters on the rotor
Misalignment of the drive train to the rotor axis
Loose drive couplings flop about
Loose tolerances between assembled parts on rotor
Shoulders on rotor manufactured out-of-square to axis
Voids or cavities within the rotor
Misalignment of bearings force shaft to bow
The drawings below provide examples of some of the problems listed in the table above.

Unity in Diversity Through Art? Joseph Beuys' Models of Cultural Dialogue
AbstractThis essay proposes the artist Joseph Beuys and his work as paradigmatic for art that through its own diversity of approach can show possibilities for addressing diverse audiences, diverging receptions and modes of participation. It arises from a symposium on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the artist's death held at the Goethe Institut Dublin, 23 January 2006. The argument focuses on Beuys practice from his Ulysses-Extension to the Migration Workshop at documenta 6, 1977, the FIU, as well as his work (and legacy) in Ireland. Relevant theories include Ecos openness and Adorno's negative and positive representation, since Beuys works relationship to the Holocaust and trauma turns out to be central. Beuys is offered as predecessor of current discourse such as Bourriaud's Relational Aesthetics and Documenta11. The article concludes with a new theoretization of participation in culture, Irit Rogoff's Looking Away. It is supported by Beuys multi-layered, diversity-sustaining practice.

She goes to nursery school from early in the morning to about 4:00 PM. During school she wears her underwear, and urinates in the bathroom with no problems, but she hold the #2 until she gets home and gets a pull-up.
I have tried withholding the pull-ups when she asks for them but she just cries and holds it. I have sat in the bathroom with her so that she doesn't feel lonely, but she won't go. I have a four year old son who was fully potty trained when he was two years old. Do you have any suggestions? Soraya, New York City
A. This is a very common situation for potty training children, who may quickly learn to urinate in the potty, but are hesitant to bowel movements there. Instead of thinking about it as a problem though, it is better to consider it to be a normal part of potty training. Which means that you just aren't done yet...
To help your child learn to poop on the potty, you should first make sure that she isn't constipated. If she has bowel movements that are sometimes big, hard and painful to pass, then she may just be afraid to use the potty to have her BMs. Increasing the amount of fluid and fiber in her diet, and perhaps using a stool softener, can help make her bowel movements softer and easier to pass if this is a problem.
If constipation isn't a problem, or if it is and you have fixed it, then the following tips may help to get her to have regular bowel movements on the potty:
- Continue to let her have bowel movements in her pull-up, but then empty her poop into the potty to show her where it goes. You can then remind her that 'poop goes in the potty.'
- Encourage her to have her bowel movements in the bathroom, even if that means having her sit in the corner of the bathroom and going in her pull-up. Once she gets used to that, then have her sit on the potty in her pull-up when she has to go. The next step might be to undo the pull-up and then eventually take it off. Some people also cut a hole in the pull-up, so that she is still going while wearing it, but her poop falls in the potty.
- Read children's story books about potty training to her, such as Everyone Poops or The Princess and the Potty, to help get her used to the idea of pooping in the potty.
- Offer lots of praise when she does make some progress, whether it is emptying her pull-up in the potty or going in the bathroom.
Most importantly, don't shame or punish her for not having bowel movements on the potty. As you found when you withheld her pull-up, this can quickly turn into a big power struggle, which will make your training even more difficult. If she isn't ready to go on the potty and doesn't have a pull-up, then she will likely either hold it until she becomes constipated or begin to have accidents in her underwear.
She is also likely too young to be given responsibility for cleaning out her underwear and washing up on her own, a method that sometimes works for older children.
And remember that 3 isn't a magic age where everyone is potty trained. Many children aren't fully potty trained until they are 3 1/2 or 4 years old.

wars and asylum crimes by Frances Webber (38 pages, pdf): "When
the pamphlet Crimes of Arrival was written, in 1995,
the title was a metaphor for the way the British government,
in common with other European governments, treated migrants and
especially, asylum seekers. Now, a decade on, that title describes
a literal truth.... There is a frightening continuity between
the treatment of asylum claimants and that of terrorist suspects.
In the name of the defence of our way of life and our enlightenment
values from attack by terrorists or by poor migrants, that way
of life is being destroyed by creeping authoritarianism, and
those values amongst which the most important is the universality
of human rights betrayed." See also: Crimes

This issue includes yet more articles on pioneering designers and builders who are keen to achieve very low energy buildings and have decided that the best route for achieving this would be the Passivhaus or the AECBs Gold/Silver standards. We have stories on new-build, renovations and an extension, all inspired by the same dream. These projects are at the cutting edge because an official UK equivalent version of Passivhaus is not yet finalised, so it seems that the standard is actually being developed on-site as fast as it can be documented. Underlying the concepts are the Passivehaus Planning Package (PHPP) and AECBs Gold details (latter still in progress and not yet publically available).
Mark Siddall tells us how the UK needs to be prepared for Passivhaus and also reports on how planning permission has recently been given for 25 new homes in Sunderland. Apparently these will be the first buildings to be officially certified to the Passivhaus standard. We will follow this project with interest.
Jerry Clark reports on the installation of photovoltaic panels in his own home. Running for almost six months he has provided us with the data from his monitoring over this period. He clearly sets out the reasons for his choice and discusses the energy and financial pay-backs. For the autumn issue he has promised to report back, as he will then have data for a complete year.
Gideon Richards has written us an in-depth article on energy pellets (wood pellets) and, to follow this, Gavin Harper brings us the green building forum debate finding that some controversy surrounds the fuel. Gavin also looks into the science behind thermal comfort in buildings with the first in a new series on green building physics.
Heat pumps are never far from the green building agenda and usually for the wrong reasons. However, the ASA has recently upheld a complaint about a heat pump suppliers advertising (see page 20) in a well known magazine. We return again to the discussion of greenwash and how it continues to tarnish the green building agenda in the UK.

Mark Sanford's Legislative Record in the South Carolina House Race
Dan Barrett
January 22, 2013
Last week, former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford announced he would seek the House seat recently vacated by Congressman Tim Scott (R-SC) to assume Senator Jim DeMint's (R-SC) position. This won't be the first time Governor Sanford will be campaigning and possibly representing South Carolinians on the federal level. He served as the First District's Congressman for three terms, between 1995 and 2000. To help taxpayers in the Palmetto State, I went into the NTUF BillTally archives* to see what might be in store for citizens if he is elected.
Of the bills NTUF was able to score over Governor Sanford's three terms, a couple of recurring themes appear. He would either make wholesale reforms to, or eliminate entirely, the Departments of Commerce and Energy, and would re-work the way the federal government collects & spends tax dollars (in fact, some of his proposals were similar to those being considered in Congress today). He also opposed granting Members of Congress a cost-of-living adjustment (or COLA).
On the spending side, he supported two multi-billion proposals that would increase government benefits paid to either government employees (in the form of more Social Security monthly payments) or servicemembers (who would have received a COLA). Another bill he proposed in the 106th Congress would have helped develop a Yugoslavian federal government.
Bottom Line for Taxpayers: It is difficult to tell whether Governor Sanford would rekindle any of the proposals he supported more than a decade ago in the House of Representative but, at the time, his spending agenda would have resulted in a net spending decrease for the government. NTUF will monitor the developments of Governor Sanford's and others' campaign promises and provide Americans with the possible costs or savings using the BillTally system. Other possible candidates include State Senator Larry Grooms, State Representative Chip Limehouse, and philanthropist Teddy Turner.
* NTUF's BillTally project has been in operation since 1991 (or the 102nd Congress) but only back to the 107th is available through our online searchable database. Governor Sanford was in office in the 104th, 105th, and 106th Congresses. To search for your elected Representative and Senators, go here.

An early morning house fire on the 2000 block of Rutherford in Detroit took the lives of Kyle and Theresa Bozeman.
Click on the video player to watch Roop Raj's report.
We're told the couple was inside the home with their daughter when they heard a noise in the back of the house. That's when they discovered the fire. The daughter was able to jump out of a window to escape, but her parents were not able to get out.
Firefighters later rescued the couple from the home. They were rushed to the hospital but reportedly died on the way there.

Sam Bradford Out For Season
The Rams QB has apparently tore his ACL in the waning moments of his team's 30-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers, which would effectively end his season. Coach Jeff FIsher hasn't exactly confirmed this news, though, but hasn't denied it, either. This is significant news for the Seahawks, who will be going down to St. Louis for their next game on Monday Night Football, on October 28th. Right now, Kellen Clemens is the only other QB on the Rams roster.

I am eating dinosaur nuggets and fancy sauce right now. Like from Step Brothers.
SO good.
It's you.
I am eating a large bowl of applesauce, a large glass of apple juice, and eating 3 cut up apples. I think I'm set for the next few months or so.
That's more than enough.
I keep having these ideas for controversial blogs. I have them all planned out. They sound great to me in my head. I get on Tumblr, type in the title, and draw a blank.
I decided I don't want to risk people thinking I'm a complete dumbass or bad person because of things that I say on my blog. This isn't a blog anymore. I don't often write pieces that have anything to do with what I'm thinking or feeling like I used to, and I'm having trouble staying on one subject. I start writing, and I think "Hey. Nobody is even going to care about what I have to say. They want to see some funny pics." So I post some funny pics or surveys, and all of the sudden people like it.
I don't know.
Remember all those blogs I left unfinished and said I'd finish the next day but never actually do?
Well this is another one of those.
The road to success is not a road.
This movie was not very popular when we were children. And now that it's getting all of this attention like it's Twilight or Andrew McMahon or something. And I still had a teensy bit of faith left in this movie, until I saw the the soundtrack for it. Which is called "Almost Alice." Kind of like a bad Myspace name. Whatever.

Which means "CAUTION: HOT! HANDLE WITH CARE ESPECIALLY WHEN SERVING CHILDREN."
Awe. :3
Yeah. Have a heart attack, I'm using tumblr again. Hahah. And, I'm starting with a new vent. Hate on it all you'd like. Just expressin' my own opinion. (:
Due to an article in Fraser High School's newspaper, my best friend and I ranted to each other and both came to an unanimous decision that the high school students who claim "edge" are claiming a falsity.
There a few different levels of Straight Edge. Whether someone refuses to harm their body with illegal substances, or they go the whole nine yards with refusing to consume anything that could lead to addiction (whether it be sex, nicotine, drugs or caffeine,) it is still a falsity. The three X's that stand for Straight Edge are meant to be stood for no beer, no drugs and no promiscuous sex. Basically saying: No alcohol, no drugs (including cigarettes,) and no sex unless in a committed relationship. I personally have heard of people claiming only "2 X's" instead of 3 because they smoke, have sex, or whatever their excuse may be, but that is neither here nor there.
What is here and there is the claiming of Edge itself. Kids in high school usually are no older than 18 and are parading around that they're drug free and slut free. (In most cases, alcohol is added into the drug category.) However, this is not called Straight Edge. This is respecting the law. Because the law states that the "Age of Consent" is 16 in Michigan, students cannot legally have sex until then. Because the law states that an individual must be 18 to purchase and smoke cigarettes, students cannot legally smoke until then. Because the law states that an individual must be 21 to purchase and consume alcohol, students cannot legally drink until then, when they are a student in College, if a student at all. And because the law states that drugs are illegal unless prescribed medically, students cannot consume/smoke any until they're medically dependent.
Therefore, this brings me to the conclusion that until an individual surpasses their 21st birthday, they cannot claim Edge. They can claim that they respect the law and themselves, and nothing more. But, most individuals do not realize this. I know a few people who partied, (drank and smoked) and a week later they claimed themselves "edge." Straight Edge is supposed to be a lifestyle, not a fad/trend. To count all the people I know that have claimed Edge in the past year, I would need more fingers and toes than I was born with. Straight Edge has become a trend, along with things like stretching earlobes.
Many people argue that Edge isn't a trend. I used to argue this too. I used to respect the people who claimed Edge. Not anymore. I have seen so many "drug free" and "straight edge" shirts in the past year, I have lost track. If it was a lifestyle, clothing wouldn't be made and purchased in abundant amounts. I don't see people walking around with shirts that say "I'm homosexual" or "I'm Christian." These are both lifestyles, are they not?
So most of you need to quit claiming Edge because it is a falsity. I'll respect you for respecting the law, not claiming something you can't be and definitely not for following the hottest trend.
I'm pretty sure you can make the conscious choice not to partake in drugs, alcohol, and sex even if you are under 18. There's a difference between respecting the law and refraining from activities you don't believe in.
I'm annoyed by a lot of the people who claim straight edge, but you can't say that minors can't claim it. That's just dumb.
I'm not straight edge, so this isn't a bias thing here.
Edge is certainly something that underage kids shouldn't be able to claim due to the laws that already say we can't do them. But the truth of the matter is; all of those things are available to us, even though they shouldn't be.
Laws hardly stop anyone from doing something illegal, unless they're scared of breaking the law, or their parents finding out. It shouldn't be up to us whether or not we smoke, drink, or have sex. But it is. The opportunity presents itself almost everyday. And it's up to us whether we decide to do them or not, while resisting temptation, or giving into it. It's just how life is.
We're not supposed to text in school, and it's our choice whether we do it or not. It's not their phone, and they're not paying for the bill. So do we do it? Duh. Because we don't think it's wrong, we feel it should be our choice. We're not supposed to smoke weed, but it's our choice. I want to, it's my body, and I can what I want with it. So do we do it? Duh.
And I agree with Chr1s. :P
It made me feel good. I had a great time, and it made me feel like I have friends again. It made me feel normal. Dan is my best friend, and I know he has Chr1s and Matt and Tom Mackey and Ashley and everything. But I'd still like to think that he looks at me as a best friend. We've been starting to hang out more lately, and now that Kenny and I dating doesn't really get in the way anymore, I hope we can do it a lot more often.
I just like having friends around to hang with. And who aren't mean to me.
You know, like, not that mean to me. ;)
It's called the "Lets not take advantage of Bri because we all know she'll always be here for you" policy.
I am not, nor ever have been stupid. I have not, nor ever have been the kind of person to boss another person around. I will not, and will never again think for a second I'm always going to have something or someone, because I know that tomorrow, everything could change.
I am taken for granted. I love to see a smile on someones face, and be able to think that "Hey. I did that for them." thought and see that they are happy. It makes me feel brilliant.
But I can't do that anymore. People are always expecting me to be the sweetheart I hope you know I am, and solve all their problems. They need to talk about theirs, but I'm asking too much of them to talk about mine. They call me a dipshit. They're rude, mean, and inconsiderate. I let them cut in line. I stand by them in a fire drill so they can ditch me and leave me to stand next to a cooler friend. I let them copy my English homework. I let them use my hairspray. I shut up when they tell me to. And when they say jump, if I know it'll make them happy, I will indeed ask how high. And these people are my friends.
I'm sick of being treated like a pet.
Kenny told me that he hates seeing me this way. Negative, despising my peers, parents and friends. He thinks I should think of myself first for once. He thinks I should stop hating my old/current friends, and make new ones. And he's right. I should. So I will.
I'm too tired to finish this post. I'll do it tomorrow.
You're adorable. I like you a whole bunch, too.
I hate homework, babers. :\
"How do you explain the car that came out of nowhere?"
"How do you explain midgets or sock monkeys? I don't know, shit happens."
I know this is old. xD
S. Darko was a HUGE disapointment. :\

Watt dominant, but PHS drops heartbreaker
Hand in hand, the Pewaukee football team marched the length of its home field and back, a sobering conclusion to the evening after a hard-fought loss to Catholic Memorial in the first round of the WIAA Division 3 playoffs.
Over the sound system played a bagpipes version of "Amazing Grace," adopted as the team's signature song during the 2010 season. On the scoreboard was the 14-13 final, a heartbreaking loss to a powerful foe from the Classic 8 Conference.
"Coach (Bill) Young has a great program and a great football team," said Pewaukee coach Clay Iverson. "Our kids played with a lot of heart and never gave in once. A lot of people said we couldn't hold up against them."
The Pirates (7-3) very nearly had more than just a strong showing. After a crucial fumble recovery with less than 8 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, Pewaukee meticulously drove from its own 23 largely on the shoulders of running back Derek Watt, who was borderline unstoppable most of the night.
But heading into the wind and facing a 4th and 6 from Memorial's 29, Pewaukee didn't have the luxury to kick a field goal. Quarterback Brock Bateman's lob barely eluded Watt, racing back to try and make the catch.
Memorial (8-2) chewed up the rest of the clock in a game where all the scoring came in the first half, and an early missed extra-point attempt proved to be the difference.
The Crusaders took their lead with 1:06 to play in the first half, delivering a lightning-quick three-play drive that began with 2 minutes on the clock. Pete Karczewski ran for the last 24 yards of the series, and Chris Colombe's extra point spotted his team a 14-13 lead.
Just more than two minutes earlier, Watt scored his second touchdown of the night from 8 yards away, but Watt's extra-point kick into the wind fell short of the crossbar.
Watt, who will play linebacker for Northwestern University next year, capped a superb career by rushing for 265 yards on 30 carries. He also caught three passes for 32 yards and made eight tackles, and his 68-yard steamroll gave his team a 7-0 lead early. He was the primary reason the Pirates outgained the Crusaders, 380-251.
"There are a lot of people that doubted Derek could play Classic 8 football teams well," Iverson said. "Today, you saw him dominate one, and you can put that in the paper."
Charlie Walsh also had a touchdown run early in the second quarter for Memorial to tie the game, and Karczewski finished with 174 yards on 23 carries.
Twice in the second half, Memorial moved into the Pewaukee red zone but turned the ball over. T.J. Watt and Ben Bellows had fumble recoveries, keeping the Pirates within one score.
"That's exactly how we wanted the game to play out, except we thought we would win in the end," Iverson said. "We had the ball where we wanted and it just didn't happen."
Memorial will host top-seeded Plymouth (9-1) on Saturday.

The Monument Mall in Scottsbluff is gearing up for the Black Friday rush.
Herbergers will open at midnight, then the mall will hold a breakfast for shoppers to get started at six.
You can see the special signs lining the tiled floors in the shopping center.
Mall Manager Tara Willman and other store managers say they're looking forward to a fun Black Friday.
"It is very exciting I mean we open in the middle of the night basically but it's fun to have people come out and to see the mall full, and to just shop the great specials."
"It's definitely not a stressful time. We really look forward to the Black Friday as the start of the holiday season. We expect pretty decent sales for the season."
Willman expects the traffic to ease during the Huskers game.
