Egg Jousting




Doesn't the title of this blog just intrigue you? It should. It was quite the adventure. I was in the top 6! (Okay we get it already! You were in the top six! Sto p talking about it already!) We egg jousted as an FHE group..it was pretty stinking fabulous. Look it up on youtube. Egg jousting will soon be brought to an FHE group near you. (Kort please do this for you FHE one time) Janae told me yesterday that she was ditching. She likes her current family more than she like's her future family apparently because she ditched FHE to play tennis with her mom and to meet her new sister. I was ticked, yet determined not to give up my eternal family just because Janae lost sight of her eternal goals. (Are you saying that the Bedke Bunch won't be my family anymore after I get married?? Pretty sure they are still part of my eternal life) I had made plans to go with Michelle...but at 7:55 (just 5 min before FHE was to start) she wasn't home. I didn't want to go alone...I would look like a freak. And of course I'm not a freak so I didn't want anyone getting that misconception. Kortney saved the day as she gave me a pep talk on gmail. I made the decision to go, and nothing was going to stop me. And then Michelle showed up!!! Yeah! We went together. Of course..our good friend Dan the Man was there..he inquired about our battery powered candles. (Would you just ask him out already! He is never going to give up!) I'm a slacker. The lighting in our apartment comes from light fixtures, connected to the ceiling. I know...how lame is that? And how unromantic. (Do you actually expect to ever get married if you don't have candles on your table? Which by the way it's ruined now thanks to your obsession with nail painting.) Well...to sum up my evening in a Nutshell...I met a few new people, Nicole, Melissa, Sarah, Janelle, Zach, Jared W., Billy, Michelle and...I think that's it. I thought that was a pretty good list. (Pretty sure you couldn't remember half of their names nor will you remember them next time you see them, but nice try. Oh and my name is Janae. Janae? no Janae. Janae? no Janae.)


So I got home from a pretty intense egg jousting tourney and decided that Ali and Janae should miss out because of their busy schedules...so I boiled up some eggs and we jousted again. It was less fantastic than the first time..I chalk it up to beginners luck. Ali had the most luck.


In other exciting news..I have a date Friday. And as usual, I'm less than excited. (Only because it's not with Dan the Man.) Lem is a nice guy, pretty good looking too, but my lack of excitement is nothing new. I'm always like this on first dates. Seconds as well. I'm be more excited for date 3 if I ever get one of those again! Ah...and I didn't make it to the gym today. I forgot to set my alarm. It pretty much ruined my day.

So I decided that as you are finding your FEC's I will take this time to learn how you do it then apply. For now, I will use this blog as "self-discovery" to document who I really am, discover goals I never knew I had, find hobbies that will help prepare me for meeting my FEC and will help me develop invaluable skills. It's going to be a journey of a life time and I need you to help me find out who that person is that I am becoming! There are several things in my life that I want to change and some of it is already happening. It's so interesting how change can happen so fast yet not be noticed until i really stop and look. anyway, its rather an exciting process, the whole concept of change, its quite rejuvenating! How exciting life is! I love living!

Today was a good day! Ali got home last night. I ran and gave her a hug like normal people do after not seeing each other for a long time. (dude..you're not normal people. hugs are gross) I hugged Laura when she got home from her vacation just to make her feel awkward! (creep) I was really tired when I woke up today, I didn't even hear the ducks quacking this morning. They are such a good alarm clock. I think the ducks are going to become my best friends this summer. (sorry about that..i took the ducks out for a walk) Anyway onto the day. I left work at 5:30 and just couldn't bring myself to come home to Laura, she is so grumpy after work. (not when she finds a pair of luckies for $2.95) So I headed to Maurices and bought some cute shoes. I finally used my gift card from Mark that I had from Christmas. Then I headed to SmithTix to buy TIM MCGRAW and LADY A tickets! It is going to be the concert of the year! It's on July 30th if you (Kortney) want to come! (i feel like i need to conform and buy tickets...but i wont) Laura thinks she is way too cool for country music! (you know how i am kortney..i will listen to it..i even try to like it..like when i've asked for multiple "laura loves country" cd's...i'm just not feeling it) Then I arrived home to Laura sitting on the couch as usual. (hmm..i don't remember that) It's not like she didn't work out three times today. (yes i did..i feel lovely..and i need to get to bed so i can wake up tomorrow and do it again :) Freak. While I was enjoying my Fuf Chair someone knocked at our door which is very unusual. Laura opens the door and it was Awkward Aaron from the ward. He proceeds to think that it is okay for him to sit by me on the Fuf Chair. (you forgot to mention that he said he could be the first person you cuddle with on the chari) (he was cute)Laura then leaves the room like a jerk. (nope...just giving you your privacy) I thought friends were suppose to stick by your side during times like these!!!! (i couldn't help it..i had to go to my room to laugh) Anyway Awkward Aaron stayed and chatted for awhile. (a long while..too long) Laura decided to come chat with us (she made me stay..gun to my head kind of "made") and I even convinced her to postpone going to the gym for a bit. He left and Laura left. Laura got home a hour later and we headed up to the track to run. (i got janae a day pass so we can work out on saturday..she's bailing for the kids..again!) Laura's third workout for the day. (i really don't know what got into me) She is my inspiration. (i'm the meaning in her life, i'm her....you know the rest)Now we are home and I sitting on the Fuf Chair again and Laura is singing on her couch. (pretty much how we end every day)Would you rather sit on Laura's couch or my Fuf Chair??? (my couch..it's bigger..and greener)

Where'd all the good people go

This blog brought to you by Laura..commentary by Janae.

Kortney...kokat...Kdawg...Kortdoubt...Ko...Where did you go? You are the good people I was referring to in the title of this blog. It has been many long long days since I've last spoken to you. Rumor has it you texted Janae yesterday, and I am very jealous (seriously Laura do you really get up at 5am and read my texts? You need to mind your own business). Green with envy if you will.(Not to mention I hung out with Kortney's parents last night) My poor little heart is breaking. When will you call my love? You're probably sleeping now, so I'll let it slide for a minute or 2.

My day began once again at 5 in the a.m. at the local Gold's Gym. (Or in my room reading my texts, creep) It was lovely. I am feeling less fat already. Although I am sitting here eating Ice Cream as we speak. I figure the sooner my ice cream is gone the sooner I'll stop eating it. Or the sooner I buy more. One or the other. I feel ok about that. (I feel great about it. I love eating your icecream) Anyway, work went about the same as usual. Then I headed off to school. Because I'm responsible like that. We played BS for the entire class and the entire lab. 3hrs of BS to be exact. It was great fun. Then I came home and tidied up the apartment. Janae is such a slob. (Psh I haven't even been here for 2 days) I always have to clean up after her. And to make matters worse, I had a big giant love sack stuffed in a box sitting in my car, waiting for Janae to get home and help me carry it up the stairs. (She is just jealous that I have a social life and she doesn't. Don't tell her I was out hanging out with Ty Ty The Backhand Guy) Well, long story short...she sucks. I ended up waiting around, worried sick for my beloved roommate for hours, in resorted to my least favorite past time...one word...HULU. She finally comes rolling in at about 10pm. And get this, she has the nerve to call me and tell me to get my butt down stairs to bring it up. So I scolded her for being so rude and demanding, then quickly hurried down the stairs. She whined like a baby on the way up. "This is so awkward" "It's hard to carry" "My fingers hurt" "Owww!" "I can't do it" "My muscles are hurting so bad I think I'm going to die!" "I don't think I've ever done anything so hard in my life!" "I'm pretty sure I am going to drop the box and it will smash me. Goodbye. It's been nice knowing you" Yeah....are you annoyed yet? Cause I sure was. (Get over yourself. Just cause you go to the gym every morning and I don't. I am so sick of hearing about how much better and more fit you are than me!!!)

Finally we get the sac up the stairs and stuff it in the cover. We jumped about like giddy school girls and threw it like an old potato in the corner. It's a bit lumpy, and not to it's full size yet, we are told it will take a few days. If Janae sticks to her "fuffing schedule" and gets up a few times tonight and for the next few nights, and maybe comes home at lunch to fuf her baby, I think we'll be just fine and be rockin' and ready for a movie this weekend! (It's already more fuffy, I am slowing sitting up straighter and straighter)

Laura is Gone


I wouldn't mind going for a paddle boat ride today.


Well hi, hello, how are you? Nothing like sitting on your bed by the open window with the breeze coming in other than the fact that I can't stop sneezing cause of the popcorn on the trees. Laura says the popcorn stinks like butt, but obviously she doesn't remember the primary song about Popcorn Popping....it would smell SO SWEET. Yesterday I went to the SLC Marathon. I didn't run like Kort though. I helped with some of the ward memebers. Marathon runners are incredible/inspiring/insane. It was insane there were so many runners there. I think they said they had around 4,000 that ran the half not to mention all the full marathon runners. That was my social event of the day. I was on the lookout for my FEC runner, but he was no where to be found. I then went to a baby shower at the Halligans. Garrett loved that it was at his house so he could attend the shower and eat the food of course. We talked about you and I rubbed it in their face that I was going to Texas to see you. They claimed they would have come if I told them before I bought my ticket. I think they are lying. Then I went to my soccer game. Garrett scored all of our goals and we only lost by 1 point. We are getting better. I came home and watched the Blind Side and stayed awake for the WHOLE thing. It is a good movie it made me tear up a bit. Awkward. This blog post is going to feel empty without Laura's commentary. I am debating whether or not I should post, but I will. I just had a piece of Texas Toast. My roommates need to come home from all their travels. I feel lost without them and I am sure they feel they same too. We definately need to have roommate inventory when they get home. I think it is something you should start doing with you roommates if you haven't already. I will let Laura explain more about RI (roommate inventory) in a future post.

Bluebonnets!



I.AM.SORE

So I have never blogged before, so just deal with it okay? also just a warning, my left shift key on my keyboard no longer works and i have grown up my whole life typing with only the left shift key so there will be a lot of lower cap letters...dont be ticked.

So yesterday was quite the treat. I went to Brenham (a little country town about 1 hr north of Houston, has a similar small town feel as Logan, but even smaller, doesnt even have a walmart) We stayed in Brenham on Friday night so we could be well rested for the run saturday morning. we stayed in a place called the coachlight inn. i was pretty sure it was the same motel on the movie Psycho, pretty freaky, but for some reason not scary because it was a small town. anyway, i wanted pie, because small towns always have great places with pie, but apparently small towns close up shop at 8pm so no go on the pie, it was watching "what not to wear" instead, love that show, i learned that you should wear tee shirts with embelishments. so Saturday morning rolls around, i was able to sleep in til 7am yahoo. The 5k was suppose to start at 8:45..it got pushed back to 9:15. So we had about 45 mins to kill.. let me explain that the sponsor of the race was Blue Bell ice cream....pretty much THE ice cream of TX. If you try to argue with any texan about blue bell not being the best ice cream (or best state) they will rip your head off. dont you worry that they were giving out free ice cream bars left and right (rocket type popsicles, strawberry smoothies, great divide(milk and white chocolate, Krunch, and ice cream sandwich). Since we had time to kill, i decided to eat the healthier of all the choices, the strawberry smoothie, before the race. Maybe a bad idea as i felt the sugar churning in my stomach about mile marker 2, but it was fine. So the race starts down hill, i am cruising listening to "all the small things." It was a surprise to me that there were hills included in this race, something i have never tried since houston is flaaatttt. Let me explain another TX tradition to if you will let me. Blue Bonnets are the TX state flower and they come out this time of year. Brenham is THE place to see them, there are fields of blue flowers and other wild flowers. It is quite the site. The run took us along side this countryside of bluebonnets. It was gorgeous, i felt like i was in another country. The race was pretty hard, i really pushed myself, especially through the hills, but i was able to shave off 11 mins from my previous 5K and run this race in 29 mins! And yes, i had more ice cream at the end of the race, it was delicious. My friend took pictures so i will have to see if i can get a copy. I really need to buy a camera sometime soon so i can start documenting my life.

last night we had "oscars nights" fhe groups made videos and we watched them, voted, etc. WE dressed up formally, i wore my crushed velvet shirt that i wore to my very first prom with Lanque. I also wore my 3.5 inch velvet shoes. I didn't know there was a dance after, but you know me, i like to get down, so I danced until i hurt and dancing in 3.5 inch velvet shoes was a bad idea. dancing is a great way to meet people, i met 3 guys in the ward last night. 2 of them are youngins though...and one is really short, so not much potential, but fun guys. Space Cowboy was there, he wore this sweet tuxedo (just like the one in dumb and dumber, the blue one), I thought it would be a great opp to talk and bust a move with him, but him and his social butterflyness was flying all over the dance floor, I think its clear he is over it, but I just can't let him go yet. So now i wake up and am sore from all the movement, good movement yes.

wishing you were here....kt

I suck!

Composed by Laura. Commentary by Janae.

"I suck!" "Freak" "What the crap!" "Shoot" "Dang it!" "Don't hit it to the left of me..or we're screwed" (Pretty sure that is the edited version of what she was saying tonight, I never knew RM's could swear so much, but Tennis really brought that side out of Laura tonight!) Ah...we played tennis tonight with Janae's 2 FEC's. I know it's wierd because there are 2..but that's just the way she rolls. (Don't be jealous that I am stealing your boy Ty from you. I just can't resist a short guy with a motorocycle not to mention his wicked backhand!) She'll probably have one for a little bit and then get sick of him, so she'll trade him in for the other. I wonder who will be first. (Umm Tyler of course or "Ty Ty" or "Ty Ty the Backhand Guy" as I like to call him, I LOVE pet names. He blushes a lot when I use those pet names.)

But really...I sucked tonight. Janae schooled me. Took me to the school yard, tied me to the teatherball pole and beat me with a jump rope.(Do you tend to exaggerate??) That was really the end of our social experience tonight. Oh wait...I totally forgot about wierd thirsty kid. So this random dude shows up at the picnic table outside to play tennis with us. He asked if we lived close by, we told him yes, so he asked if he could get a drink of water. Janae let me and him go by ourselves...she thought she was giving us privacy..i thought she just didn't give a hoot if I got raped or not. (I didn't want you to miss out on your chance to meet you FEC, I mean honestly what isn't to love about a guy that loves water? Did you notice if he gulps? If so you are definately meant to be together) Anywho, then we met up with good ol' Tyler and went over to the park. Thirsty kid was supposed to meet us there but he never showed. (He even told Laura that he had coupons for Jamba 2 for 1 that he wanted to use after Tennis, I think Laura got STOOD up BIG time! SUCKA!) We're thinking he probably got lost on the way over and then got to embarassed so he never called. Oh, and he drove all the way from South Jordan just to play. (I think he really just wanted a drink.)

Then me and Janae made a long trek to Riverton to get my Emissions and Inspection paperwork so I can get my car registered tomorrow..We got McDonald's smoothies on the way. Yum! (Post Script...there was an earthquake here, Laura fell down)

#31














WW1

This post is brought to you by Janae commentary by Laura.

(Janae put a picture of you and her on this post..I deleted it to show her who's Boss)

Today I bought a plane ticket to Houston. (Shut up)
Today I bought a plane ticket to Houston. (Shut up)
Today I bought a plane ticket to Houston. (Shut up)

43 Days until I come to Houston. (I'm probably going to kill her)
43 Days until I come to Houston. (yep..maybe tonight)
43 Days until I come to Houston. (for sure tonight...with a hammer)

Today I went running. I was proud. (it's about freaking time!) Now I won't feel bad tomorrow morning when Laura comes in and wakes me up to go to the gym at 5. (I like how she makes me out to be the bad one...what happened to the days when a girl could go to the gym without getting razzed?) I will throw the shoe even harder. (I took the shoe back, she doesn't even have the shoe) Take that SUCKA. (Remember how you didn't know what your FEC meant when he asked you how you liked your new diggs?) Right now I am eating Creme Brulee icecream. (MY creme brule ice cream) It's really good, but not as good on Creme Brulee on the cruise. (seriously...if i hear about that cruise one more time I'm going to go balistic) I miss Erlito. (who is he? why don't I know about him?) Anyway onto our social event of the day-WW1 aka Waffle Wednesday Part 1. We made a HUGE effort to get there by walking down 12 stairs. (I walked in heels..it really was a huge effort) We had a good time. We walked in and it was awkward. (I was especially excited about the kid with the Ute hat falling asleep on the couch..and how he didn't acknowledge me when I asked him his name) Laura said "Go get a waffle" so to ease the awkwardness I got a waffle, even though I wasn't in the mood really. (you should have told her what kind of waffle it was..it had carmel and chocolate chips on it...a nice way to prepare your body for the chocolate and popcorn we would soon eat..you know, just enough to say "hey body, I want to get fat, I'm going to start you off slow with this waffle because I feel like the name waffle sounds a little healthier than ice cream", but really, you know it's not..anyway "then you say, "hey body..you still there? yup, it's still there! Ok, later on I'm going to feed you ice cream and popcorn, with extra salt, and you are going to like it. You'll like it so much that we'll probably do it again tomorrow.") It was hard so I had to pick it up with my hands cause it wouldn't cut with the plastic fork. We sat down on the couch and our friend Dan came over to talk to us. You met him before when you came to the ward. (he's the perky little character..a real romantic) My hands were sticky from the waffle. Laura and Dan talked and talked and talked. (don't be jealous that we have a connection) Then we decided it was time to go. Laura wanted DAN to come see the apt so she invited him up the 12 stairs. (wow..that was a bold face lie. He invited himself up) He was impressed as anyone should be by our apt. (actually, I don't think he was that impressed, but he should have been) He told us we should get candles that are lit by battery and put them on our table. (I think he's got something there!) I think by that he was implying that he wanted Laura to invite him over for a candle light dinner. (maybe I will...right after we have our hot tub party with pizza and rootbeer) That's all for the day. Did I mention I get to see Kort in 43 days??? (watch your back Janae..I'm sleeping with my hammer..don't make me use it!) ILY (ILY more..and longer)

The Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day...oh and there was that Murder in the Dark thing

This blog brought to you by Laura, the coolest friend a girl could ever hope for...keep on hoping Janae. Commentary by Janae.

First of all, I just want to say how insanely jealous I am that Janae has booked a flight to Texas (I have not booked it yet, she tends to lie). In hopes of stealing you away from me Ko. But I know how much you love me (just keep teling youself that, people who travel together become BFF's something you haven't done with Kort), and that I can never be replaced in your eyes..so I'm not too worried, but it is a crummy way to end my day!

Today sucked (One of the best days at work ever). It just plain old wreaked like butt (my day smelled like roses). Yes, a big fat wreaking butt . I got the worst nights sleep ever ( I slept like a baby staight from 12-8), it could have something to do with that murder in the dark thing (she is so dramatic, loves making up excuses), I woke up at 3am and took ages to get back to sleep. Remember how sore my body was yesterday, well it hurt all through the night, I thought it might have something to do with my crappy bed and was dreading the day as I contemplated my poor aching back. Well the good news is that my back didn't hurt today. But anywho, I wound up at good ol' Golds Gym at 5 in the a.m. Guess where Janae was....yup...in bed ( I need my beauty sleep with all my future dates coming up), with a towel at the crack of the door because the poor little sweet girl can't have her sleep interrupted..she gets so angry (yep I dont like to hear my motivated roommate going to the gym during the middle of my deep sleep cycle)!

Later this morning I ended up at the good ol' Beehive ( I ended up at DDI Vantage). It was an insanely busy and dreadful day ( so dramatic). Scott called me 12 times before 11am (by Scott she means her FEC Tyler. She already is SO overwhelmed by her social life, that poor girl) and that was just the start of it. I had hoped to practice for my ASL test at work since the test was today, but time would not permit it. My little stomach, or should I say big, didn't even realize it was hungry until after one. Normally I'm ravenous by 9:30am. Oh, did I mention I had a spinach smoothy when I first got to work? (My name is Laura and I like to brag to the world about how healthy I am as Janae ate her smoothie from McDonalds) Well, of course I did, those are so delightful. Anyway, I will spare you of all the details, but suffice to say that it was a rough day. Worst day of my career actually (Best day of my career actually, I got a hug and a kiss from one of my kids-that always makes my day).

Then I had school. A test actually. I got a 92%, which wasn't what I was hoping for, my teacher said my presentation was too long. Excuse me! The book said our presentation should be between 3-5 minutes, mine was 5, doesn't 3-5 mean that anything in that time frame is good? Guess not.(You are always trying to over achiever aren't you? Oh hey bishop I will be the RS Pres or yes Tyler I will marry you, such a brown noser) Oh and a funny thing happened, the 2 workers in the language lab were fighting, yelling at each other and calling each other names, the guy actually called the girl stupid. They were so tough. The girl said she was going to call campus police...um....for what? Nothing really happened except for a little verbal brawl. Kinda like the brawl in the sandlot..."you bob for apples in the toilet, and you like it." "you play ball like a girl!" You get the picture. So the girl left all angry like and then came back with a piece of paper asking us if we would put our name and # down so her boss could contact us to be witnesses. I did. I know exactly what I will tell him, that they both need to grow up. Not even Dwight acted in such rage when Jim put his stapler in jello. ( Laura forgot to mention the fact that the girl she is talking about in this story is actually her. I am looking into checking her into Anger Management.)

After class I rushed home because it kills poor Janae to be away from me so long. We went to FHE. That's right...FHE to find our FEC's. I don't think they were there. We listened to a lovely spiritual thought, which I enjoyed more than Janae because she just doesn't do spiritual. Then we chatted it up with some RM..don't get too excited..she was a girl. Oh, did I mention how much cuter our apartment is than our FHE moms? (Ya WAY cuter, we will for sure get married before them cause our APT is SO cute) Well, it is. It's a lot cuter. We could only take the awkwardness too long and after we decided had been sufficiently social we went home. I just realized I totally forgot the worst part of my day, it rained. (Don't be so negative...April showers bring May flowers) A lot. And I decided this morning that it was going to be spring, without the rain, so I wore sandals and capri's. I'm cold just thinking about it.

That was our day in a nutshell but I'd like to give you a quick recap of yesterday night. Janae was accused of murder, she was destined to kill, but she sucks so bad at life that she couldn't even live up to that calling. (I tried to kill Laura but she thought I was joking, she thinks I like her enough to not kill her....umm ya think again Laura, you totally died yesterday) I was a much better killer. I killed 3 people in the first 30 seconds. People were angry and clueless. They thought I was nice. I wasn't. I was mean and I wanted to kill again. But I never got the chance. It was really dark, and it smelled like boys. (I couldn't stop sneezing, I think I am allergic to SNOOTY boys who have all been arrested and are proud of it) Yuk, I don't think we'll go back. If we do, I have a new strategy. I will kill everyone.

One last thing, me and Janae both gulp. We are freaks, but we love each other because of it. Sometimes we laugh at the gulping while we drink...then we spew our water. It's fun. (One thing you don't know about me Kort is sometimes I get self conscious about my gulping during the Sacrament because my gulping is so loud for my small amount of water) (I had the best day ever PS I got fed again by a family. I even tried lying saying I had another appointment, but it didn't work. I also literally fell into a chair in my bosses office today, but I am optimistic and it was the best day ever)

H4


This blog post is brought to you by Janae commentary by Laura.

Today the morning began with us departing to church at 9:01. (Janae told me that it would be 9:15 when we left, so I was taking my dear sweet time, then she walks out of her room 5 min early and expects me to be ready...ummm...what the junk?) As we arrived we chose our seats in RS. Laura then introduced herself as a new member. She is so delighted to be part of the Winder 19th Ward of Holladay, Utah which is located on the East side, SUCKA. (seriously? sucka? I'm sorry, but when I got here and started exploring the eastside I realized that it's pretty much the same as West Valley, in fact, the most ghetto Walmart I've evern seen is just up the road.) Then after class dismissed I went and walked Laura to her class, the NEW member meeting. I felt like I was dropping my first child off at Kindergarten, it was so hard to say goodbye. I even left class and went and checked on her through the window cause I was so worried about her(she even held my hand, I asked her to come back and pick me up, but she didn't. I cried). But the hour passed by quickly and soon we met back up again. During Sacrament meeting Laura made me share the piece of bread with her. (the dude passing the sacrament thought I was unworthy, or Janae was, probably Janae, I think I look more worthy than her.) We had a really good speaker, but Laura fell asleep. (she's lying) The day at church was filled with complaints: Laura's knee hurt, her head hurt, her butt, her stomach, her nose. My whole face hurt due to my head on collision at Soccer, my abs hurt, my eyes hurt, my arm got tired from holding the hymn book, etc. (Janae's arm wouldn't hurt after holding a hymn book for 3 min if she would just come to the gym with me every morning. I try to wake her when I go, she throws things at me. big things. hard things. heavy things.) After the meeting ended we began our social life here with the ward.(actually my social life started yesterday at tennis with my new bff Tyler, he has a motorcycle) We stuck around for the dessert social. I got a cookie and Laura got Chocolate Ice cream and bananas and I got a Cookie. (Janae is kinda repetative, she's talked about that cookie all day, i guess it was pretty good) We then stood around awkwardly as we ate. (did we mention how awkard it was? Janae looked like a fool searching for her FEC, I looked hot looking for mine.) Laura had many friends say hello to her from Tennis. (yep, so new and yet already so popular) She is on the road to being one of the most popular people on this side of the valley. (wow, we're totally on the same wave length here!...oh, p to the s, Ali is in Boston for a little while).
