OMG!!! So it's a brand new year here in, where else? Taft!

It's been so long. Christine and I stopped writing before the last semester ended, so it's been litterally like forever and a day since we have made and entry.

Holy crap...where to even begin!? So many things have happened since the last time we wrote...March...April was spring break...we all split our separate ways and went home and such for the week! That was a pretty fun week to get a break from Taft. We returned back to taft and hung out with everybody. My birthday weekend ASB was taking a trip to Disneyland and the Beach. That was such a fun weekend.

Powderpuff football.....just throwing it out there, T DORMS stand up!!!

Christine has a boo, lol, and I still have myself haha.

DUUUDDDEEE!!! Long story short, the end of the semester was bomb. Beach trips, sleepovers, satying up late.

Its pretty sad that we started being good friends with everyone at the very end, but its all good because we're back this year.

Summer was interesting, wasn't expecting to miss everyone as much as I did.

Since we have been back, we already had a beach trip, which was a success and plenty of more good times...we've just been to lazy to write....

yeah. so that pretty much sums up what we have to say for now

bye.

WHOO DAT? Our crazy adventurous past weeks started on Sunday the 7th of Feb. the superbowl. Baylee and I had just got a t.v. the day before so we were ready for the superbowl. We watched the game and the New Orleans Saints beat the Colts. It was such a sick game! The guys had gotten back to the dorms so we decided we would go over there and play GAMES!!! like we always do. It was such a fun night. The usual people were there but a couple more. Michael Hayes, Nicole Gummersall, Stefan Norman. We started off by playing phase ten and then got to the fun game....dare. We had played a couple rounds so everybody knew how to play. One of the dares was you had to go into 7 eleven and ask for some "peanut butter cups". Michael Hayes lost so we were quite excited to hear him cuz he was the one that came up with the dare. The next dare was you had to chug a small slurpee. Fil lost that one. We decided to take the journey to 7 eleven and thats where all the fun started.....

Michael and Fil did their thing. When the dares were all done, we started to walk back up 6th street and stopped at the old abandoned store at the corner. Michael was feeling kinda "dare-ish" that night and acted like he was gonna try and break in, but I knew he didn't have it in him. Maybe his attitudde forshadowed the following event. The whole event was very long so we're gonna continue it on another blog..

But back to last week, we had such a blast. We continue to play dares and phase 10 twist almost every night but last week, Sunday, we started playing games. Curfew was at 1 that night because we didn't have school on Monday. One o' clock came around and we weren't ready to end the night. Fil and Jay walked back to the dorms but we were trying to think of ideas. We thought we should go to the beach!! Fil really wasn't feeling it at first but Jasmine's great persuasive abilities got him to take us to the beach. Me and Jasmine ran into the dorms yelling to Baylee (Baylee lost a dare where she had to stay in her room all day Monday, but since we were going we let her come). We all got ready for our spontaneous trip to the beach.

We were all pretty excited to go so none of us really slept on the way there. We left at two and got to the Santa Monica beach at 4 a.m. We parked way far away from the beach and took a journey to the beach. We got to the beach and started looking for seashells. Barrett and I started walking down the beach looking for seashells but found a boogy board instead. We walked back to the others and we all kinda just chilled on the beach until the sun rised. Me and Barrett got in the water a little. Some creepy guy started taking pictures of us, without us knowing, then put down a golf ball and hit it and walked off.

We all were kinda hungry so we walked back to the car and decided to go find Denny's. We got there at about 7 a.m. We ordered all our food and were just thinking how much better the beach was then dumb old TAFT. We finished eating and got back into the car and just.......sat there. I think most of us thought we would go back to the beach but we all fell asleep for about a hour in the parking lot of Denny's lol. It was sooo freaking hot. We all woke up and were sweating, well at least i was. After that power nap we were ready to go back to the beach. We took the long journey again and put all our stuff down and played a little frisbee.

We all started to get a little hot so we thought it would be a good idea to get into the water. It felt so nice. The beach had rocks in the water that killed so bad but its okay, it's the beach right.

Oh yea, don't forget that I almost got lost at sea twice. Everyone claims that they warned me when waves were coming, but whatev. No matter how I got hit by a wave, I continued to have fun. There was a point in time when Christine and Barret decided to tan and Baylee, Fil, and I decided to chill out in the hot sun. After everyone was done sun bathing or whatever, it was time to go.

Next Stop!....Taft :(

In the car we had a little mishap-all the cinnimon bears spilled all over fils car. Christine had to hold them like a little baby all the way back. We also came across our new alias: The Wild Onez.

We drove all the way back, without stopping, and made it just in time for linner. I remeber that Barret was burnt, and we all looked tired and dirty. But on the bright side, the cafe served ice cream.

After 31-plus hoursof going without sleep we decided, "heck, lets play frisbee!" So immediately after linner, we all got ready to play frisbee. It was a lot of fun this time because we had a little more people playing. The usual Wild Onez were there, plus Stefine, Michelle, Nicole, Jose, Theresa, Rex, and Jay.

Good times. I scratched up my knee, which is still pussing to this day :p

After all of that, suprisingly...we went to bed.

The next day we had school...ugh :/ It was my short day but Jasmine's long day. I can't really remember what we did in the day except we had practice. One of the last one's. After that Barrett took me on a date to go see Valentine's Day. We drove to Bakersfield and went to Wal-mart before the movie. We got lost trying to find the movie theatre and went on the out skirts of Bakersfield. It stunk so bad. Probably the worst smell i've ever smelt. We found the movie theatre and liked the movie. We drove back to Taft and said goodnight.

Wendesday rolled around and we had a game today. Second to last game. We took our journey up to Merced. We all kinda had a good attitude that day and played our game. We were ahead at half but needed to come out harder to finish off the game. They came back closer to the end but we finished our free-throws to seal the deal. I made one of two at the end and we came out on top by three. I had bumped my elbow in the game and it looked like a had a golf-ball in my elbow. It hurt so bad. We returned to Taft.

We didn't have practice Thursday so i believe we played games that night. Friday came around and we went to school and had practice. Baylee's parents came and took her to bakersfield for the night. Barrett came over and we hung out. Jasmine pretty much stayed in her room. I slept alone in my room for the first time Friday night lol.

Saturday was our last game! And it was against COS. We wanted to "eff" number 22 up and we did just that. It was such a good game. Probably one of the best ones this season. We were ahead for pretty much the whole game and they got close but some clutch free throws from Desiree sealed the deal to go on a two game winning streak to end the season. It was such a fun season and I'm excited i was able to play. We had craft corner on Saturday night and started making a surprise for some of the baseball boys. I can't say it on here because it'll ruin the surprise.

We watched baseball on Friday, Saturday and Sunday...every game every minute for the whole game we were there. I guess you could say we are the baseball boys #1 fans.

And that sums up the wild week the Wild Onez had.

And that's what happened now and today.

ROUND TWO

2010-01-29T13:03:00.000-08:00

Woah...we're back..

Where to start..I guess we'll start from our last post which was our tournament in Ukiah. We continued playing games and went to a couple more tournaments.

We headed back to our homes in Arizona and Utah to be with family for the Holidays..lets just say it was short. Twelve days..christmas was good, we got to see family and friends.

All in all, it was a good break from Taft, but I (Christine) was excited to get back to start playing basketball again. We headed to the Foothill tournament on the 28th of December and came back. Next was New Year's. Me, Baylee and Crystal stayed in the dorms for new years..Most boring new years ever. We played card games, watched the ball drop and headed to bed. Jasmine, Bri and Des headed to Bakersfield to coaches house.

Everybody started coming back slowly. We were the only people in the dorms which was nice. Baseball players started coming back. It was real boring for a while because we didn't have school. We played a few more games and started conference play. We played Fresno City and lost by two..we were ahead the whole game and let them back in it. We traveled to Porterville to play them and again were ahead the whole time, (up by 14 at one point) and let them come back. With 2.1 seconds left on the clock, coach set up a play to run to try and let a shot up. It was supposed to go to Jasmine or Theresa but Dawn passed it to me. All I heard was "Shoot it!" so thats exactly what I did. It bounced on the rim once and went it. We won the game by two points. It was pretty cool.

Since this is the second semester, I guess it's kind of like...a second round. Round 2. We're all about to just be real (grow up lol) and fire at anyone, and say whatever is on our mind, kinda haha.

We started school. A lot of classes are with familiar faces, so this semester shouldn't be so bad. The first week wasn't so bad becasue it was a 4 day week.

This week however has been eventful. Oh yes. It all started when coach anounced that practice was at 6:30...on Sunday.

Sunday the 24th came and it was kind of lonely. There were only 10 of us at the black line when practice began. Coach went on to tell us that those of us who couldn't make it to practice are done, or suspended. Problems didn't end there.

The very next day 2 more people left us, and were down to 9. What lonely pratice. Practice continued like that all week. It was rather depressing. On top of all that drama, we lost our game on Wednesday.

But it was Daniel's birthday and evryone was ready to go out. Of course some of us didn't go out. But before the party began, everyone decided to come and hang out in the T dorms. Wow, never tought I'd see the day.

And then something amazing happened. I (Jasmine) was chillin in the dorm, surfin the web, listening to music, when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it to find to guys standing all up in my face. One was Juan, yea whatever.. But the other was...omg, EYE CANDY. He came to my door. hahah. I was so gitty, but I didn't show it. We all just stood out in the hallway talking about nothing. Then when he wasn't looking I creeped hin soooo hard.

But anywho. So since we've been back we've been going to the Canadians room to have GAME NIGHT! We really do enjoy it. For Christmas, I got a handful of card games and such to play. Baylee also brought back catch phrase. That one is definately the best. We went over a week ago Friday and had such a great time. There were a lot of people that played...Tom, Braden, Austin, Jay, Barrett, Victoria, Bri, Jasmine, Fil and maybe a few others. We had such a fun time trying to describe words such as cupcake, Rosa Parks, Anne Frank, climbing a ladder, fencing and others. It was such a fun time. After that we played apples to apples and that was even more funny. That night was so much fun! We've been playing a lot lately and have gone over the words two or three times. It still is a challenge sometimes. Last night, we played two rounds of phase 10, one round of uno, and a little bit of catch phrase. There was one time, Barrett was describing website hits and his team couldn't get it so after the buzzer went off and he jumped to his feet yelling "My head is fuming right now, you don't even realize!" We all burst out into laughter. Me, Jasmine and Fil were on a team and me and jasmine kept getting side tracked and talked to eachother while Fil was describing his words. We could not stop laughing. He was trying to describe to us, "You pull a bunny outta a hat", and "Not a manicure, but a...." We just kept laughing through out the night. We returned to our dorms and went to bed so we could get up for 5:30 A.M. practice.

We'll try to keep you updated on more of our experiences.

AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED NOW AND TODAY!

UKIAHHH!

2009-11-23T15:34:00.000-08:00

So, we've just returned from our latest basketball tournament in Ukiah, California....approximately 6 1/2 hours away. What a drive we had. We started waking up at around 6:30 in the morning to get ready to go. We went and got a quick breakfast and we right on the road. That's pretty much it for the ride. People listened to their ipods and talked to eachother and slept...me and jasmine found it quite funny to take pictures of people sleeping. We got some great pictures.

We passed through, and even stopped in Oakland for a second! My hometown! We passed by several familiar places and streets. We saw Grand Lake Theater, the cranes over by 10th street, and passed lakeshore- the street that led to my grandma's house. We stopped in my dad's neighborhood and he was just minutes away...

We stopped for food and got Carl's Jr. Some lady saw that there were about 20 people in line so we're pretty sure she made up a lie and said that her daughter was in the hospital and if she could just butt all of us and get two sodas...what a liar! I didn't go in the restroom there but a lot of the girls went in and said it smelt like "death times 3!" as said by Jasmine Green. We got into Ukiah and the first thing we saw were two homeless guys hitchhiking. We saw a lot of them there, Baylee made a joke and said we should just let them come on our bus...coach gave her a really funny look. We got to the hotel and got our rooms keys. I was in a room with Dawnisha, Crystal, Desiree and myself a.k.a. CDCD. Jasmine was in room "204!" with Theresa, Olivia and Mer Mer. - Yea 204! We go Harrrd! The other rooms had Baylee, Ashley and Chino in one and Victoria, Bri, Yeni, Maryssa in the other. It was quite a party. We have great time. We settled in and people napped while I stayed up and watch t.v. before our game. We all got ready and started driving.....

It was dark outside so we couldn't see where we were going and apparently neither did our bus driver. It seemed like were driving forever trying to find the school. When we finnaly got into the parking lot we drove around for a bit trying to find the gym. I guess the driver couldn't see the curb because we sure did hit it hard.

Crazy old man.

He tried to make an excuse: "I'm ahh....." Then coach cut him off immediately with "...on the curb." And instead of backing up, he tried to drive even further on the sidewalk. Because of this incident, the time we were up there we were very cautious while walking on the sidewalk lol.

We got inside the gym and saw a couple of boo boo teams. Some of us thought they were high school. The game started and we were down. We didn't bring our 'A' game to the first half. At half time we could hear the other team celebrating their 3 poitn lead over us....big deal. We came out with fire the second half. Has some good plays and shots and came out on top. We beat them by nine.

After the game half of us went staright to Applebees while the other half went to Jack 'N the Box. CJproductions was in the group that went to Applebees, so we don't know what fun entailed elsewhere, nor do we care! lol

When we entered to be seated Dawn saw this kid and told him "We haven't seen dark meat in a long time!" He smiled. He was so happy and giddy. We nicknamed him 'Choc'. We really treated all the guys out there like pieces of meat...I mean c'mon, we have nothing but Taft guys and eye candy to look at. Mmmmn...there were also the boys from Redwoods. OH BOY!!! :) We got dinner and eye candy that night. We sang happy birthday to the cutest eye candy. His name was Dom. Our waitress..oh Christine's bad, our waitor was...interesting.

We got our fill, and we had to walk back to the hotel, how messed up right?

We walked up stairs and ran into these guys from Lassen. They were kinda weird. We searched and searched for the bus driver so we could get our bags off of the bus. During that time we met an Aussie, witnessed a nearly phyiscal altercation between two of the other girl teams, and ran into the Lassen kids sevral times. We introduced ourselves to them with fake aliases. My name was Rebecka. Christine was just Christine...she didn't want to play, lol.

We had cerfew at 11, so we all turned in at 11.

In 204 we watched tv untill we fell asleep. Mer mer had the remote and fell asleep will holding it. She was snoring real loud and then all of a sudden woke up and started changing channels. Then fell back asleep. Me and Theresa just looked at each other.

Meanwhile in 201...they just went to sleep.

The next day we got up and went down to breakfast as a team...finally! We were all just conversing with eachother about who said what in their sleep and who was snoring. We had a meeting in the coaches room. We got our money for the day and all went back into our rooms. Oh yes, there was a WAL-MART in Ukiah so we took many trips over there. We all got ready for the day which was going to consist of watching basketball and more basketball. Our bus driver was kinda getting annoying giving us a play-by-play of what he was going to do...we don't care.

We got to the gym and the bus driver wanted to drive into the DO NOT ENTER! part. We all hurried out of the bus because we didn't want to get embarrassed by him. We walked into the gym and watch Lassen and Mendo play. Mendo was getting killed. We just wanted to watch "some dunks, some blocks, and some steals." (Jasmine) The boys teams started warming up and they didn't look too good. They didn't play good either.(Jessica just walked into my room as I'm typing this blog). We wanted to leave sooo bad and so we went to 7huyhupkottujijnim Denny's and again had a weird waitress. Jasmine had breakfast and I had zesty nachos.

After Denny's we went back to the hotel and we all napped while Christine sat out and watched the construction next door. Woke up around 6 and left for the gym. We arrived and the Woods were playing in the championship game. So nice! There was this big guy, very BIG! He was 6'9 and looked like he could've been 300 lbs. He was good and so was eye candy Dom. However, they lost and we never saw the Woods ever again.

Our game started early. We lost that game but should've won. End of story. Christine is being mean...soooo mean. It's hurting Jess's feelings. She just hopped onto her bunk and gave Jess the dirtiest look ever. How ruuudddeee!! Jess is quite bummed now and is exiting the room.

We got back to the hotel and Christine, Des, and I walked over to Jack "N the box. We ate the food in 201. And then Theresa and Olivia wanted me to go to Wal-Mart with them. We got back and went to sleep.

The next day was checkout day. We had breakfast in the lobby again. It was pretty chill. We packed the rest of our stuff and piled into the bus, but not before a couple quick rounds of dare and bed jumping. We were the first game that day. We sucked some more, but held on. In the second half a bat was flying around the gym. The game was stopped for a bit and everyone was going crazy. It was pretty fun actually.

We ended up winning, duh! So that put us in third place. We could've killed in this tourney but just didn't put in enough work. We got on the bus and headed off for.....Taft.

We stopped for dinner at In N Out and it was bomb..we got hats and took a couple pictures. We got on the bus and me and Jasmine had a little dance party on the bus. The bus driver was crazy and ran threw a stop sign. We got back to Taft safely and were wide awake. We came into the T Dorms yelling "wake up T Dorms" a couple people got mad. Me Jas Victoria and Des walked over to 7 11 and we came back and chilled until we went to sleep.

and that's what happened now and TODAY!!

Corn Dogs and Eye Candy

2009-11-15T18:12:00.001-08:00

HelllloooOOOOOOOOO!!! We're are back.

Back again!

So you may have noticed that we haven't been on for weeks. Sorry about that.

A lot has happened. We started playing basketball, for real.

Our very first game was in the Pasadena tournament. We played some team called Cypress..not even all that great. But we got smashed. It was just the first game jitters and our first game together. But we ended up losing the second game too, by ten points.

We had our first home game earlier this week. We smashed Allan Hancock. Then LA Southwest came and thought they were the business, which they weren't...they won :(

Our last game for this week was against San Diego City and that's when we realized that, although we are a fresh team, we could do big things this season.

We have our next tournament this weekend in Ukiah...wherever the heck that is. It's about a six hours away. We are all excited to get outta Taft and stay in a HOTEL!!!!!

The TIL's don't freak us out anymore.....

Jeff knows Christine by name.

Today I went to breakfast with Victoria, Des, Olivia, and Michelle. We ended up smuggling the whole cafeteria back to the T Dorms. We plan on making smoothies later.

Christine and Baylee got back from church and everyone went into homework mode.

Then we went to Linner. We had corndogs. And I got a side of Eye Candy..Mhmmmnm

Tonight the six pack went out for pizza. We got a little dressed, nothing too fancy.

The night ended with multiple games of dare.

Halloween!!!

A Photo Shoot

2009-10-25T18:44:00.000-07:00

What a Day...NOT!

2009-10-22T16:53:00.000-07:00

We were late for breakfast. Christine and Baylee had Psych and I went back to the room to finish taking out my hair. Christine came to get me for work but I decided not to go. We seem to be doing more and more sitting around. Lunch came and I skipped but the others went. We ate outside because the cafeteria was filled up..We had hamburgers which were pretty good.

I stopped doing my hair to go to class while the others sat around some more. My last class was health. We just watched a movie that was a half an hour long. We went to dinner and had nachos that were kinda gross. Dawn started to braid the rest of my hair. I had Baylee work at the volleyball game for me. The volleyball game was sad. Taft looked like they were going to pull out a win every game but fell short every time. They lost 3 games to 0. We came back to see that Dawn was still braiding Jasmine's hair. She was just about done. They finished watching Lord of the Rings. Dawn had to go to work so Jasmine and Baylee sat in her room and watched Beauty and the Beast. Jay came over and we studied for psychology. Jasmine's hair was finally done! It looks sooo good.

Yeah, so some people came oveff and before you know it Ray was over here freaking out. They all left but Ray didn't. He knocked on everyone's window and told us that we had to have our windows closed. The night died down and we all hit the hay.

and that's what happned now and Today!

Tuesday Tuesday...the 20th of October

2009-10-21T23:11:00.000-07:00

We got up and went to breakfast like usual. We came back and waited for work to come around. We went to work and cleaned up the girls locker room and the weight room. We came back and sat. Jasmine continued to take out her hiar. I didn't see her much.

We went to lunch and had nasty "open face roast beef sandwiches." Sounds absoutely disgusting. I just had mashed potatoes and gravy but Jasmine and Baylee said that the roast beef was okay. After lunch we split and Jasmine had class. Baylee and I went to the soccer game. We scootered over there. It was an intense game and we pulled through with a 1-0 win. We scootered over to Albertsons and got treats. We rode back and sat...again.. Jasmine continued to take her hair out. We went to dinner and then came back and oh....sat. How boring, how boring. Jasmine and Bri had class so they didn't have to practice. Practice was good. We played a lot of the time. Practice ended and we came back to the dorms and talked until we went to sleep.

I want to congratulate the Davis Girls soccer team for their victory against Viewmont. They play in the finals on Friday at 7:00 p.m. at Rio Tinto underneath the lights against Alta. Best of luck to them! They'll do great.

and THATs what happened now and today!

Mun daaaaayyyyyy

2009-10-20T21:38:00.000-07:00

BREAKFAST!!! Hmmm, happened first. It was pretty alright. Baylee and I had psych and we had a lecture. We didn't have to go into work until 9:30 and when we did we did our job and got back to our dorms. Jasmine continued to take out her hair and I chilled in my room. We went to lunch and had chicken strips. They were dang good. Bri wasn't feeling the best so we got her lunch-to-go. Jasmine went to class and I went back and took a nap. It felt sooo nice. Health class was canceled so Jasmine started to get her hair re-braided. We went to weights and actually worked out. We went to dinner and got it to go cuz we had practice. Nothing big we just got our new shoes. They're adidas pro-models. A couple of little arguments broke out but they were all settled. We came back and sat in my room and talked. People kept coming in and talking. Jasmine continued to take her hair out. The night kinda just ended.

AND that's what happened now and today!

Sss....Aw Heck, Sunday!

2009-10-19T21:38:00.000-07:00

So we had returned late from Six Flags early in the morning, so everyone was TIRED! Christine and Baylee were late to church. I woke up at 9:30 and went to breakfast...alone! At church after sacrament meeting, Baylee was greeted by a man. He wanted to know if she could have an interview with the bishop. That only means one thing...Church ended and the girls waited to see what was up with Baylee. Ha, she has been called to serve as the Young Single Adult President AND she has to speak next week. All of the girls are going to come and support and listen to her. After church we went over to grab Michael for lunch at the Pease's. We had burgers...but they were thick, pink burgers. Not the best. The cream soda tasted weird but all in all it was a home cooked meal and we appreciated it. We came back and Jasmine came and said hi. (Jasmine) I came back and got word that Dawn was going to start doing my hair the next day. Yay! The Utahs came back from church and we all sat around. I started taking my hair out.

The next thing that we remember is linner. It was NASTAAY!
It was some pork chop thing with cold peppered mac n' cheese. Like Jasmine said, NASTTAYY!
Jasmine continued to take her hair out and we sat around conversing with eachother. Some of the baseball boys came in and greeted us and said hello.

Baylee had some serious english homework to finish.

I continued to take my hair out while the others continued to sit around.
Christine was going crazy as usual and so she wanted to try something new. She was going to try to jump onto her top bunk from the stools...lets see if she made it:

I think we took a break and thats when we went to 7 eleven to get a movie- Ghost of Girlfriends Past. It wasn't the best movie.

It was bedtime. The day was un-productive.

And that's what happened NOW AND TODAY...

MAGIC MOUNTAIN!!!!

2009-10-18T21:41:00.000-07:00

The day started off with breakfast. It was good. We came back and got ready for MAGIC MOUNTAIN! We were all getting excited. We went over to the SU and signed our waver and got ready to get onto the bus. We loaded onto the bus. Jasmine and me on one row, Baylee and Bri on another. Theresa was right in front of us and we had the tv right in front of us. We started driving and watched Collateral. It was crazy weird.

We FINALLY GOT OUTTA TAFT!!!!! We kept driving onto Los Angeles and got off the exit to Magic Mountain.

Us four and Theresa startd off going on a pretty boring roller coaster compared to the other ones we went on. We went on Tatsu, one of the best ones. It was wicked. When you ride your stomach is parallel with the ground. We walked around and stopped for food.

We headed over to Goliath. You drop for 7 seconds straight and then go on plenty of twists and turns. It was great.

We stopped for a bit and watched the 3 point contest. There were a couple of people that won a jersey and some that did horrible. Theresa tried it and got a teddy bear. Theresa went with the soccer players and so us four, went onto Collases. It was fun because Jasmine was recording the ride on her camera. It was so great.

We went on it again and then we went on scream! It was a blast. One of the other fun ones.

The girls wanted ice cream so we stopped and got Dip-n-dots and were off to The Riddler but the line was so long so we ventured over to Deja Vu and waited for quite a while. It was hecka fun though.

Our time was coming to a close and we wanted to go on X2 so we went over and waited in line for quite a while. Bri was feeling sick so she waited for us. We waited for about 1 hr and 15 minutes. X2 was sick! You are turning and flipping and don't know where you are the whole time. My voice hurt so bad after that. We went to go get our souveniors and to go get funnel cakes and pictures. We all bought sick looking shirts and got pictures. They're cute. We headed out of the park and waited for the bus. Baylee did her high pitched voice and we were all cracking up. We got onto the bus and we put our Ipod's in and were out. We got back at about two in the morning and headed right to bed!

AND thats what happened NOW and TODAY.

Freaky Friday

2009-10-18T21:16:00.000-07:00

Well you probably know how the beginning started off. I went to class and then to work. We came back and chilled until lunch. Anyway we couldn't remember what we had but whatever we had was probably disgusting. Jasmine had sociology and Baylee and I had taping so we dispersed. We had a mid-term in taping and I think we did pretty good. We walked up to Chase Bank to go put money in Baylee's account and cash my check and then we were off to the girls soccer game.

The game was okay. The girls should of creamed the other team. They lost 4-0. We got a ride back with Max and then we were off to weights. I actually lifted and am sore from it but it was good. We thought we missed dinner so we rushed over to the cafeteria and made it in time. We had pizza and it was dang good.

After dinner we had to go work the volleyball game. It's breast cancer awareness month so to get in we had to wear pink and donate money. It was a good volleyball game. We came out strong in the first game and then second we fell two points short. But came back in the third and fourth game to win the match. Some of the baseball boys were chanting and Champ was dancing.. Awkward..yes! As we were going back to the dorms we played Whip-the-heck again. It was great. Baylee got me good and i had a "G" marked onto my arm. We got back to the dorms and sat around trying to find something to do.

I was texting Jay and he invited us over to watch a movie. We watch transformers and it wasssss frood. I liked it a lot. We came back to the dorms and went to sleep.

And thats WHAT HAPPENED now and today!

Terrific Thursday

2009-10-16T20:48:00.000-07:00

Since we went to bed so late the night before we kinda took our time waking up. We got ready and went to breakfast. We went to work but Bruce wasn't there so we came back and went to sleep. It was a wonderful nap. We woke up and went to lunch. We had chili colorado. NASTAYYY! Jasmine had math so she wen to class. I came back and sat. Hmmmm...kinda what I always do. It's pretty boring here. And I'm starting to get sick of it.

On a brighter note, we went to dinner and had chili dogs. Not the best but we ate them. We came back into our dorms and watched youtube videos I believe. The days are all mixed together so we can't really remember what happened the day before.

I had to go to class so I left. I dunno what the other girls did. Class was good we took some notes and talked about our next speech. My teacher gave us our mid-term test to do at home and then let us leave. Practice had only been going for about half an hour so I went into the gym and decided to go change. Practice was good. We shot a whole lot. We watched game film from last year. We're gonna have a lot of fun this year, running and pushing the ball up the court and shooting A LOT. I'm pumped.

We left from practice and came and chilled in the room. We can't quite remember what we did except Jasmine made my hair a Christmas Tree and put 15 pens and 1 pencil in my hair. Jasmine told me not to move so I didn't move for about 7 minutes. We watched youtube videos, Jeff Dunham and others. We stay up pointlessly. Past 12. We don't know why...that is all.

And That's What Happened Now And TODAY!

HARLEM STARZZZZ

2009-10-15T21:51:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to start off saying we are CREEPS! Straight creeps. We like to creep anybody...from our good friends, Golden, Desiree, Bri, Victoria, Granny's and even the HARLEM STARZ! The day was pretty boring until nighttime. We went to work and did a dang good job of sweepin and mopping the gym floor. It looked like we waxed it. The players even said it looked good. We went to health and had a funny conversation about fish and about how Jasmine is allergic to fish (which had no point to the conversation) and we talked about how much you should typically gain while pregnant and Jasmine said 100 lbs. 100 lbs!? lol

Anyways, we went to dinnner and went straight over to the gym so we could start getting ready to sell concessions. It was crazy. Girls on the same team should never work together...thats about all for that. It was a busy night for concessions and sold a lot. We got into the gym and saw them warming up and such.

Our group had our shift in concessions then we retired back to the gym. It was packed...the whole town of Taft was probably there lol, just kidding. It was packed though. They had their little entrance routine.

And then the game started. They were kinda sloppy but overall entertaining.

There was this little kid jerking...Amazing!!!

And we even got Stefan dancing.

We creeped real hard that night.

Olivia played in game against little children and amost took out one of the Harlem Starz.

There were some pretty sweet, high flying dunks.

The game ended and everyone stood around got autographs and pictures.

There was a party that was lame as crap. I came back and me and Baylee decided to go on a walk. I learned how to jerk. We started walking back and got freaked out by a cat and then we danced in the road recordin our shadows. It was pretty fun. Little did we know, Jasmine was walking back from the party and watching us dance...can i say embarrassing!? We walked back with her and got ready for bed. Max came in and talked to us. I nodded off but Baylee stayed awake talking to him til about 2:40. We got rest...Sweet Dreams...or a Beautiful Nightmare.

..And thats what HAPPENED now and today..

It's Whatever

2009-10-14T21:11:00.000-07:00

Tuesday was just boring. We did go to the student union though, where it was crackin'. We wrote in the blog and played a huge game of pool with two sets of balls. Jasmine once again took another pair of glasses. She's really starting a collection. We had another special dancing guest. Practice was okay. I really don't like the 5 dribbles. We came back and boys came over. It was stupid. I dislike TAFT!

aND Thats whaT Happened now.....and today.

Today was GOLDEN!

2009-10-13T15:12:00.000-07:00

Ah Monday morning! Everyone's favorite. Um let's see...we went to breakfast. Just four of us. Jayson joined us, as he always does. Then everyone headed off to class and I went back to the dorms to sleep before work. I got an uplifting text from Christine saying that we didn't have to be to work until 10.

The time came for work but there were no supplies to clean so we kinda did it quickly and left.

Like almost everyday, we all did nothing. Either in bed asleep or chilling, surfing the net. Lunch was lunch. And very quiet for that matter. I went to my classes for the day and everyone else continued to do nothing.

The whole day was full of nothing.

We had weights as usual and he kept us longer than usual. Then we got readyfor practice and picked up our dinner. It wa this nasty, salty chicken with plain pasta. Nobody really ate it.

The beginning of practice was very quiet as only half of the team was there. The rest were getting taped by one person, Baylee. Everyone was feeling under the weather and every drill we did was lazy.

We got back from practice and had a "team meeting", it lasted about two minutes. We got back into our room, and golden came in. She wanted to write a whole blog about her so here it is:

Golden, Golden, Golden...what to say. Her laugh is hilarious and her choice of words.....is...unique. In Bri's words "Golden is one crazy girl!" Baylee says: "Oh, Golden." Fil says: "Nothing, why." All in all, Golden is a crazy fun unique girl. This is video is of Golden, if you listen you better laugh cuz there laugh is funny.

A special guest who shall remain unamed joined us after practice and graced us with some awsome dance moves.

And thats WHAT happened now and today..

Dang Tree!

2009-10-12T21:18:00.000-07:00

The morning of Sunday started out usual for Baylee and I. We got ready for church. It was good. It was testimony meeting so we heard some good testimonies. We went to our next class and this lady randomly brought us like 25 cupcakes. She says she gets in cooking moods. We didn't mind one bit. We got back from church and Jasmine and Bri were still in there beds. Lazy butts, lol. They completely missed breakfast. Jasmine was totally outta it because she only took one benadryl. I don't think she only took one. -yes i did Christine!!! We did absolutely NOTHING. We suck. Bri, Baylee and I were catering to Jasmine's needs. Bri gave her some Emer-gen-C, I gave Jasmine a brownie, and Baylee got her a banana at linner. -You da, you da best...best I ever had! We did nothing until Linner. We had chips with some rice crap. It was nasty. We quickly went back to the dorms and grabbed a volleyball and went to our grassy area.

I was taking a nap in the grass while Baylee, Bri, and Christine played a mean game of volleyball. I woke up to a cup on my hip- wierd,I know Then everything happened out of nowhere, and the next thing you know we're down by the gym. Devan threw our volleyball into tree, and since Christine likes to climb trees you can only imagine what happened next. Yes she got stuck. She shook the ball down but got stuck. Don't worry, we helped her down but she did get a little scratched up. She calls it Tree Bark Disease. As we were all waiting to get into the SU, everyone was sitting around. Of course I took Stefan's hat...I just took a couple of pics and brought it back.

In the SU, we started a game of pool. We suck!

We were talking about school mascots.

Jesus was posing as a championship hula-hooper and Daniel was jumping around the room pretending to shoot people with a gun that had no ammo.

I got a tattoo! It was a anime-looking guy with fangs. So cute!

Then we dispersed, and we once again found ourselves back in the dorms...yay. It got even more depressing when we started hearing everybody's voice. Max took us to McDonald's and Taco Bell. At Taco Bell we met our new "daddy"....his name is Braxton. We got back and Christine reduced her photo albums on facebook. After that everyone kinda just...went to sleep.

...and that's what happened Now and Today!

Trouble, trouble, trouble

2009-10-11T18:20:00.000-07:00

We headed out to breakfast in the morning. PANCAKES!! It was just Jasmine, Bri, Baylee and I because Victoria is sick somewhere and Desiree went to Vegas. After breakfast we headed over to "our" grass. We sat there for about an hour. Jasmine and I fell asleep but Baylee and Bri stayed awake. It was a nice day outside.

We went over to the softball game for a while. The team they were playing was decent. They hit a grand slam so we left. We went back to the dorms real quick to grab some money and went over to 7 Eleven to get drinks and such. We walked over to a food place and ate mini hamburgers and Jasmine had a taco. They got slushee's and drinks. We walked back over to the softball game and bought the "Worlds Finest Chocolate" from Bruce's son, Jonanthan. We walked back to the dorm. We started some laundry and then Jasmine Bri and Baylee went to sleep. I stayed awake though. The laundry was ready to be switch so I went out there to switch it. As I was walking out, one of the TIL girls said, "Hey, Jeff look who it is." I knew what was going to happen from there. One washer was done but the other had a couple of minutes left and there were two quarters in between the washers so I decided I would try to get them out. I got down and tried to get them out but I couldn't. I got up and guess who I saw, sitting out of the laundry room....Yup, Jeff. He's really starting to creep me out. I went back in and grabed a hanger and asked Baylee if she could come help me get the quarters cuz I was really creeped out. We got back in there and got the quarters. She went back in and went to sleep. Again, I stayed awake.

So I woke up after a day of sleeping, and we headed to linner. It was nasty barbecue and nasty rice. After linner I took a benadryl capsule. Bad idea! Yep I was on one and definately out of it...In fact I still am. I talked to my dad and did some more laundry. We sat around all night, playing cards at one point. We played a game of war that never ended. We called the game finally and headed to bed early. Christine and Baylee watched a general conference talk, while Bri and I watched Beauty and the Beast. I dozed off, real quick....

What waste of a day in my life, in Taft.

And that's what happened NOW and TODAY.

Toast is the Most..

2009-10-10T19:05:00.000-07:00

Friday morning: breakfast. Christine and Baylee had class.

We went to work at Ten. Then lunch came. It was just me, Christine, andBaylee. We ran into Daniel, and of course he had on my Ray-Bans. We sat with him...it was all good. He started to tell us about this resturaunt.

"The sauce is boss. Chicken is kickin'. And the Toast is the most."

Then things got really wierd. He told Baylee and Christine :"You guys have the complextion for pertection. I could sell you guys. Blonde hair and blue eyes. Man, a million a piece."

After lunch I had Soc. The others just sat and did nothing.

Soon it was time to head over to the soccer games. First was the girls. They won, 6-0. Then the boys. They had a big goal, before we left. They ended up winning, 1-0.

We walked back to get an early dinner. Burritos. Then practice came. Before, Victoria and I were waiting in the conference room. Victoria started to have a coughing fit. You can guess what happened next. Practice was practice. Golden and Des left early...They went to Vegas.

When we got back we blasted the music as usual, and had a dance party as usual. Our new favorite song to sing together is Run This Town. We even looked up the lyrics and sang (screamed) along with the song. So much fun!

Then the night of trouble began...again. We went to, THE ASH DORMS, oooooh! On the way over there we imitated they way the Puerto Ricans danced. We got there and returned Colo's glasses.

Darby showed us his new haircut.

He was also serenading us, with his beautiful voice lol. Then I tried to get into room 19. They caught on and kicked me out several times. Then they started to throw me out. We all got in for bit, and got a wiff of Devan's beautiful cologne. The Puerto Ricans were ready to watch a movie. When we arrived we noticed a bunch of ants on their counters and in their microwave. We couldn't even pop our popcorn. Juan was a good host and offered us water and cookies. I almost broke my vow to water, but Christine kept me in check....we broke it the next day, for a good reason though, we worked hard. Anyway, we started at 10:30. First we watched Down to Earth. It was really funny. Stefan's laugh is hilarious! During that movie we got "cold" and were offered jackets and sweaters. Of course we took the offer, haha. Stomp the yard started and Jesus claimed that he was Chris Brown and that Megan Good was his girl. I was told that he crept me but even better, I crept him, mmmmmm! Christine ate a cookie with ants on it...gross. We really wanted to leave, and we should have because little did we know, Margret was outside watching the movie through the blinds and was waiting to get us in trouble. It was an hour past curfew. As soon as the movie was over, in walked Margret...I don't know what she said and I don't care, because no one was listening to her. She was being a smart alec. Whatever. She took us to her to her pathetic security thing and wrote down our room numbers and names. We stormed off in furry lol.

We got back to our dorms and sat in the hallway for half an hour doing nothing. We called it a night at three in the morning.

And that's what happened NOW and TODAY!

Christine Hates Thursday's

2009-10-09T20:22:00.000-07:00

Yet again, breakfast first. But this time was something happened. Jasmine tipped over her tray. And dropped all her french toast sticks :( It was sad. She got more though so its okay. We didn't go to work cuz BRUCE wasn't there so we went back to the dorms and chilled. We got ready for the day and went to lunch. We went to the ASB meeting and put our down-payment to GET OUT OF TAFT!!! We are going to Magic Mountain next saturday. It should be fun. Jasmine had math class and had a test in there. She came back and I was helping Desiree with her math homework for THREE hours. We were going absolutely crazy. I got some videos of Golden dancing and singing that are pretty funny.

We were doing this problem and turned around to look at Baylee and she was doing hand puppets. Haha, we were busting up laughing for no apparent reason, it was a beddy beddy good time. While we were doing Desiree's homework, Jasmine was sleeping. We all went to dinner.

Yeni told us there was a volleyball game at the highschool so Me(Jasmine), Yeni, Baylee, and Briana headed over. Yeni told us was free, but when we got there a security l ady told us it was like 5 dollars or something. But Yeni has her ways and the security lady convinced the joint to let us in for free. As we walked in I felt a little embarrassed, I don't know why, I just did. We decided to sit up in a corner to watch the game. The girls sucked, it looked like middle school playing. Then the JV and freshman team from Arvin came and sat by us...I guess we were in their seats. During a time-out one of the girls on the Taft cheer team got up to do some stunts and tumbling. She did one back hand spring, then another, and she decided to do more than she could handle. On the third she jumped up, but face planted the landing....SO FUNNY. Us four were laughing of course, but they said that I was the loudest, and that my laugh echoed in the gym. Taft won and I was the first one out of the gym. On the way to the student union we sang "Run This Town" so that everyone could hear us. We are so nice!

The movie started in the su...The Last House On The Left. VERY GRAPHIC! It ended with a bang, literally. Christine came in late and left early...so did Baylee.

After the movie we got back. I fought Jesus, beat him up bad..JK! Some people wanted to go out to the imaginary party. It didn't work out, and the night ended in slumber...Sweet dreams and beautiful nightmares.

AND that's what happened Now and Today!

October 7,2009 Wendesday

2009-10-08T09:47:00.000-07:00

The day was boring and started off normal. We blogged and then practice came. It started off strange, because we started with suicides, MADNESS! We did everything else as usual then we scrimaged. This one in particular was fun. It started with Ashley knocked Yeni clean off her feet. So funny! And Crystal. Do not get me started about Crystal. She was born with mean juice in her blood! Before practice started she wouldn't laugh at anyone's joke, she was just hating. It was so hilarous! She was eating a peach (with skin on it might I add) and Theresa asked her why is her fruit on the table? Crystal replied saying, "its got skin on it?" Theresa then said, "but didn't you eat the skin?" Everyone busted up laughing at that point. Crystal on the court is a different story...even more hatin'. She was telling people to get out her way while giving them unneccesay elbows, Cussing people out for making lay-ups, pushing Theresa every chance she got even when play was over. Practice was mad fun (we played hard) and we goofed off A LOT, I thought we were going to run. We ended with our three suicides as usual. We play our first game in 3 weeks...I hope we're ready. Haha. We came back from practice, stanky, and came into our room, put the music on loud and hung out. Coach Taylor came in and started dancing, I wish we would of gotten that on video, oh well there will be more of those. Jasmine REALLY didn't want to do her math homework so she only did a couple problems. We wanted to pull some pranks but we'll save those for another night....watch out!
This video is just what we do here in Taft after practice. Jasmine always feels like dancing.

AND thats what happened now and today!

2'sDay

2009-10-07T15:47:00.000-07:00

Hello there. Now, as you know we are in Taft...if you got a problem, the whole city of Taft will soon know, so you might as well speak up. Im so sorry if anyone is offended by this blog...but thats just too bad!!! Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it. If you have a problem with what we write, you know where we are, it's not a big secret. And besides that point, we don't go to personal into people's lives. This is our point of view, duh! So stop being a cry-baby! Shawty!

Now

Tuesday, Tuesday.

It all started out with us getting up at 6 to run. We actually didn't leave until about 6:30. As we were walking before we started running a freakin' bird came flying at my face. I freaked out and screamed. Baylee was laughing histerically but Jasmine was content. We ran about a mile in a half and went back and I showered and then we went to breakfast. We got ready for work and did our freakin jobs. They're starting to get annoying, but we have to make money somehow, right? After work, we came into the library to blog and finish some homework. We went back to the dorms to get ready for lunch. We went to lunch later than all the girls and had egg rolls. They were okay. We sat with Cole and Barrett. (both Canadians).

Jazz had class at 1:00. So Christine sat and waited. Then....it was time. We walked over to the soccer game. Soccer game was off the hook! Da bomb! There were some sick penalty kicks that our goalie blocked and some HUGE boys on the other team. The score at half time was 1-0. We had a photo shoot during that time.

They scored two more goals after half and the other team got another chance to score with a penalty kick....we'll let you see for yourself.

Just amazing! The game was coming to end, when we looked to the right. The little footballers were wrestling, grabbing face masks and banging heads. It was quite entertaining.

The game ended with a score of 3-0, Taft. As we were leaving, I, Jasmine, tried to tackle two little footballers running after a football. It was pretty fun. As I came back I tried it again. We took a shortcut through the highschool and yes, we have more footage. (we've had a special song for Juan and Jesus...)

We went to dinner right after we got back. Nothing special happened. After dinner we all hung out in the student union. And yet again another video. This is of Desiree playing pool like a robot...pretty funny stuff.

The rest of the night was depressing. Everyone was doing their own thing and left CJ out. SO we went on this incredibly silent walk around Taft, for an hour. I think we said ten words total. There was this little fox and he was close to us. We tried to call him over. It kinda worked, but he just ended up running off. Guess what, we have pictures!

We got back, pissed off at the world and called it a night.

Don't forget. We still creepin'

Jay= check

And that's what happened NOW and TODAAY!!!!

Hey Monday!

2009-10-06T10:12:00.000-07:00

The beginning of the morning started out as usual. Breakfast. Breakfast burrito's. They were actually pretty good. During breakfast, Jay (Canada) told us that his roommate, Barrett read our blog! We have our first reader!!! We were so excited to hear that. We dispersed and went our different ways. Jasmine went back to the dorms and I had psychology class.

We met back up for work. We're both getting real sick of work. Sweeping and mopping the gym floor sucks. Cleaning the locker rooms and mopping those...Suck too. Oh well, we're getting paid for it right. After work, we went back to the dorm room to pretty much get ready for the rest of the day.

We got ready and went to lunch. Jasmine and I were the only two to go. We sat by ourselves eating our mashed potatoes and pork chops. Just then, Jeff came walking into the cafeteria. A little breeze came upon both of us. He sat rght behhind us but we knew he wanted to come sit right by us. Luckily, Jay and Barrett were walking in the door right at that time. We were hoping that they would hurry and get there food and come and sit by us. We looked and Jeff had moved over to our table about 3 seats away from Jasmine. Jay and Barrett came and sat right by us and Jeff moved over one seat closer. Thankfully, they came and sat by us or Jasmine would of blown up at him. Haha.

Well, after lunch, I left for sociology. Who knows what the others do while I'm away. After that I had math. Some people went to the soccor game and others had classes. As everyone may now know the soccer girls were faced up against a team with only 6 players. They smashed. 7 to 0.

Anyway

Christine and I had health at 2. Then immediatly after we decided to head over to library- and guess what we did?.....blogged!!! As we were sitting, blogging, we had a brief encounter with Todd. He mistook Christine for Baylee, then he called me Victoria. I corrected him, and as always he told me exactly where I was born. Todd got onto a computer and started watching some wierd video of people gyrating on mountain-tops or something like that. I did get some footage of this event, but I don't want to put Todd on blast. We stayed in the library for quite some time.

At 4:30 we left and got ready for practice. We went to the cafeteria to pick up food early- we're special....jk. It was time for a meeting with Kanoe.

She talked to the whole team about eligibilty and drug testing....blah. We had sign our precious lives away to Taft. So now it's official, the strings have been attached. When she was talking about eligibilty she went over all of the felonies that would keep us from playing. I asked "Does creeping count?"- she didn't hear me. We signed some more stuff and she was outie 3000.

Practice was dumb. As always the posts are discrimnated against, lol. First the guards went out and jumproped. Christine claims that they did it for like 5 minutes, I feel that they came back after like 30 seconds. Then we went out there for like 20 minutes. We were working on some new post moves and then we scrimmaged. I was subbed out of the 'game' when a bat flew into the gym. I was the first one out of gym, everyone thought practice was over. The last time that had happened, the coach cancelled the rest of practice. Nope, not this time. We finished practice and returned back to the stupid dorms......Oh yeah, Golden is now our new manager...yay.

Jamsine came into my room to finish our dinner. We had taco's which were actually really good. We blasted our song and listened to Eyes on Fire and danced to that too. It was really fun. Jay came over to our dorms so me and Baylee could try to fix his internet problem on his computer...Denied! We don't know what the problem was and we didn't know how to fix it. As Jay as laying on Baylee's bed, Jasmine called him Jeff....I busted up laughing but no one else heard it. It was way funny. We decided we would play a couple rounds of dare and a new Canadian card game called "Big 2" (that might not be right). Its the states version of scum. Me and Jasmine are scum and vice scum. Oh well, at least we are scum and vice scum like two best friends should be! :) haha we ended the night there and fell asleep.

And THAT'S what happened, now and today!

Another Day...in Taft

2009-10-05T12:54:00.000-07:00

Sunday morning started with hmm.....breakfast maybe? Yeah, breakfast. We ventured over to the Ash street dorms to check out Devan's car and the mess we made. It wasn't too bad. Margaret of course is going to try to get us in trouble. Won't go for me? We thought we saw Bentley (Michael's dog that escaped) I guess it wasn't her though. As we were walking over to th dorms, Bri threw her juice up into the air and let smash into the road...here is the video of it.

Right after that we went and took some more pictures in the cyllinder things.

Everyone was being boring so of course, Christine and I blogged back in the dorms. I believe we were in her room just chillin, writing, on the top bunk. During that time we also looked up Taft College's master plan for campus renovations...what a joke that was! See for yourself : http://www.addington.net/MeasureA/MasterPlan.asp

We were just writing about Stefan when out of no where he popped his head into the room. We thought that he could have been a spy for Devan but he just needed his hair braided. We showed him pictures of last years baseball team and then he took my camera and started pictures. Then we all went to linner. That's when the war picked up. Devan thought he was so cool when he poked holes in two cups...good job buddy! They had some pretty tasty rice crispy treats....anywho...

We went back to our dorm rooms and wanted to go check and see if the student union was open. Of course, it wasn't so we went right over to "our grassy" area. We were playing around in the grass, throwing acorns and playing a little badmittion. Oh, Jasmine and I also acted out a little fight. It was quite funny. Just then, Bri got a text from Devan saying "check your window". Ut oh, this is no bueno. We hurried back to the dorms to find a picture drawn on the window. It was a smiley face. We were locked in Jasmine and Bri's room when we thought, why are we locking our doors. They can't do anything else to us. So we unlocked our doors and hung out.

This is when it started to get REALLY boring. We decided we would go back out to "our grass" one more time before it got too dark. We tried playing an alphabet animal game but that didn't go too well. We walked back to the room...and literally sat there. We decided it would be funny if we went and wrote on windows. We wrote on Desiree's, Ashley's and Golden's windows. We played dare for a couple of rounds and got bored of that really quick. We got hungry so Chino, the nice lady she is, drove us to McDonalds. Jasmine got a six piece chicken nugget, and a small fry. We drove back to the dorms and oh, sat AGAIN.. We got really bored and called it a night...Sweet dreams, or a beautiful nightmare.

And thats what happened....NOW and TODAY.

This Means War!

2009-10-04T12:54:00.000-07:00

Saturday Morning in Taft began, as always, with breakfast. Nothing too exciting happened during that time. Jasmine slept from the time we got back until about half an hour until linner while the others watched Youtube videos about animals and other various, wierd...things. Linner came. Jasmine decided to wear her new hat. What coincidence that Stefan was there...seeing that the baseball team was gone at a game. Linner was quite quiet. We had pizza!!! We got the perfect chance to walk because Stefan was re-filling his drink. We ran out and sat and waited. Jeff came out and was stalking as usual. Stefan and Josh came out for a quick chat, but we knew what was running through their minds. Josh said he would definately punch Jasmine in her face if they were in an alley. Stefan tried to get his hat back but we put up our awsome defense and avoided conflict.

What do you know, we got back and we blogged! Bri came up with a brilliant plan!!! To go get "items" from Room 19. We knew that the baseball boys were gone so we were going to try and convince Stephan to give us "items" for his hat back. It didn't work. :( He told us to get out but we were leaving empty-handed. We searched the room and then saw a light from the bathroom. Could it be? It was like the cologne bottle was screaming our names. When Jasmine saw the bottle, she let out a little squeal. We creeps! We know! We sprayed the cologne on our shhhtuff, our personal stuff, so we had the scent of a man on us, 24/7. MMMM babay. We had a little encounter with Stefeezy. He wanted his hat back, but we weren't ready to give it up. He tried to keep us in by blocking the entrance to the bathroom. I, Jasmine, saw Baylee in the doorway and tried to pass the hat, but his ways were the winning ones this time. So we got kicked out, and as Stefan was locking his door, I snatched that hat back off of his head. But he was too quick. He cornered me and grabbed me. I yelled "rape!" and he asked me if I was ticklish. Darby came out, "put her in the trashcan!" I sat down and he got his hat back and got dirty...not that way, c'mon!

We walked a ways away and sat and vogued in some lovely grass. We were peaceful and happy despite what happened just a few moments ago, when all of sudden a vicious car passed and threw an open water bottle at us. Guess who was in the passenger side...STEFAN. How rude!? We decided we wanted some music so we walked back to the room and were suprised to see Desiree and her boyfriend back, because she went to bakersfield with Victoria and Golden. We got our speaker and went back to dance. But, the baseball boys were coming back from there game so we went and talked to a couple. Dancing got boring so we went over to these big cylinder holes and took picta in them. Devan came over and almost freaking ran Jasmine over. We talked to him for a bit. His car didn't start so we sat and talked with him. Freakin sand was blowing at our feet so we jumped into his car and he took us back.

He invited us to a rodeo. Yeah Right!! We all deccided to go to Pat and Michael's house. Little did we know that the Swine Flu lives there. We played extreme ping pong with a few people while everyone else drank of course. One play, Baylee was up to hit and she leaned a little too much on the table, causing it to collapse. Hilarious. Christine and Michael were playing for a bit. He decided to try to play with the paddle in his belt...awkward! After ping pong was wrapped up we sat down and watched the end of The Longest Yard. We got really bored, and told Devan we were ready to leave. Got back to the dorms and realized we were very hungry and very thirsty. Where to go? Jessica, the kind person that she is, took us to McDonalds in Michelle's car. We got 4 mcchickens, 4 mcdoubles, 3 small fries, a cinnamelt, and a large watered down fanta stawberry. We drove back through the drive-through to get a new drink. We drove home and ate in dead silence, stuffing our faces. We then got ready for the next activity.

NINJA TIME!

To get into ninja mode, we took sleeves that were cut off of t-shirts and put them around our heads so that only our eyes could be seen. We topped off the awsome masks with hoodies and took pictures of our unbelievably creative costumes. On our way over to the Ash dorms Baylee was the total ninja. She was ducking, running from tree to tree. We arrived in the parking lot and cunningly made our way over to THE car. Devan's car. We wrote various phrases such as, "yo yeah", "this means war", "what now", etc. Someone had come out, so we sprinted almost all the way back to the dorms. What a rush!

And that's what happened now and today.

Friday, Friday, Friday is my favorite day

2009-10-03T14:15:00.000-07:00

It all started off with breakfast in the a.m., party in the p.m.. We went and got a quick breakfast and headed off to class and back to the dorm. We had work to do in the gym but when we got there BRUCE was no where to be found. He had left a sign on the door saying "do your regular job", but good ol' Bruce didn't know that the closet door was locked. We lucked out. We swept the gym floor real quick and left the dust on the floor cuz we didn't have a dust pan to scoop it up with. We returned back to our dorms and....sat. By 11:30, we were all ready for lunch. We had a scruptious, mexican enchilada casserole. Yummy, right?! We left to the SU (student union) and played pool. It was a frast.

We all met back at our rooms and Jasmine and I decided to go get new headphones. We had to walk to Radio Shack and we got some crappy headphones. We had plenty of time to waste before the boys soccer game so we decided to go to Rite Aid and look for "spray". We didn't find any, maybe thats why Taft stinks so bad! (read out loud, with a lisp) We were really craving Subway so we went in and got some. We got Buffalo Chicken, it was freakin good. We added food like lettuce, olives, mayo and mustard, ranch dressing, and onions. We walked into Albertson's to look for some "spray" but they didn't have any. Maybe thats why Taft stinks so bad! We decided to go over to the soccer field and sit and watch the boys warm-up and eat our Subway. We almost died like 7 times. (Eight in a lifetime). The game began and the other girls and Max came and sat by us. I guess the game got off to a relatively slow start, but Tyler spiced things up with a sweet goal right over the goalie. Of course the other team retaliated with a goal not to long after. But when they scored they celebrated like real cocky jerks! It all got nasty from there when a penalty was rewarded to the other team (who was the other team anyway?). Everyone was crowded into the goalie box. Number 4 from Taft and number 14 (snoop dogg) from the other team just got real ruff all of a sudden and statrted pushing and shoving one another. It happened so quick, everyone was in everyone elses face. The ref was funny, he couldn't even control them, as no one would listen to him. People from our team had to calm Snoop Dogg down. The drama didn't stop there...many more little arguments broke out. Im suprised no one got a red card, however there were many yellow cards. The game kept going and we scored again. At half it was two to one- Taft. We ran back to Radio Shack to go exchange the crappy headphones. We went for the green Skull Candy headphones. They are so sick! As we were walking back we tested them. Oh man, they're frawsome! Once I put them in you might as well not talk to me, because I don't read lips. You can't hear a thing except the tune you're jammin' out to. I felt like I was under water. Christine claims I was yelling. I think she's just sensitive......lol. Anyway back to the game. We were making fun of the goalie, he was getting red in the face. Then he told Desiree to shut up in a very very unappropriate manner because of a foul on his team. Naughty naughty goalie! Our team was getting thrown around like a ole dirrty sack o' potatoes. One instance we remember was Columbia getting picked up, held for ten seconds while screaming, and thrown down on is back. Soon after that we heard this idiotic noise come form the right. Luckily, Christine was recording at the time and got the event on tape. Stupid little boy trying, most likely, to get attention. He ran into the garbage can and ate it. All of the girls including the volleyball girls burst into laughter. His little sister quickly rebuttled(Baylee Day, Taft 2009) with "Don't laugh at my brother!" He kept coming back with dumb stuff like..."Do you get payed to laugh at people." "Do you guys even go to school!?" "You must hate your mom!" and other shhtuff. In the end Taft were the victors. Three goals to one.

We walked back and went to weights. Weights was short lived, really boring as always. Dinner was afterwards. Gourmet ravioli. No, it was actually really bland.

We got back to the dorms and got ready for work. Of course Jasmine got the extra large shirt. Once we were all set up for the game, the National Anthem began. Oh-say-can-you-see...Sean and Stephen made up thier own soundtarck, which was lovely. The game began, and Freddy, oh Freddy looked oh so innocent and cute. The gym was packed. TAFT VOLLEYBALL, ROOF, was victorious with three great games to Merced's zero. The game ended and we began another game. Its called whip-the-heck! What you do is, take off your lanyard, and violently swing your arm with the intent to whip the heck outta someone. Oh it was so enjoyable. We got some good whips, bwahh!
Immediatly after, we met a group of soccer dudes. William, Alex(Columbia), Christian, Mckeen, y Tyler. They were funny. They came to our humble abode and over stayed thier visit. They were really rude and were making fun of me because I couldn't say Ivangeno. They kept wanting to party, but no one wanted to party with them. Jasmine got creeped on really bad by Jesus.

We drove over to the Ash dorms and visited the Puerto Ricans first. They were boring and rude. So we tried to go to room 19. We went to room 8 and Jasmine was really creepin on the room, even though nobody was in there. We left and went and talked to Josh for a second and then Des told us to go back to room 8. Just as we were knocking they came back with McDonald's, thanks for sharing..oh wait they did. We got into the room and they asked us if we wanted strawberry sundae's. Jasmine and I jumped on that offer. It was devine. We sat around there, bored and they proposed a challenge on us....a dance-off. Hmmm okay. We all got into one of the rooms and started looking and "planning" our dance. Desiree found a bracelet, Bri found a jacket, and Jasmine found shorts, and were given sunglasses. That's our new obsession..we planned out the rest of our dance and were ready to battle. They boys all came out with the same shirt on and circled around. We lost. They did good. Then we sat again, bored, forever! We decided to leave because we were so bored.
We got back into the T DORMS and heard about this party. We went to the apartments and sat there watching all the people. They were funny and drunk. Freddy wanted his gum back and looked like he was going to cry. He was dancing. Stefan put on Halle Berry and was singing it really loud and beligerant. We met this girl named Alexis or Alex-is. (thats how you pronounce it). Jasmine stole yet another item, this time Stefan's lakers hat. He really wanted it back and was trying to get into the car to grab the hat. We hid the hat and started to leave but Freddy wanted us to give hugs. We gave them hugs and were off back to our rooms. The night ended after that. Pretty fun night if you ask me.

And thats what happened, now and today....

Back It Up & Dump It Back

2009-10-01T12:21:00.000-07:00

Our new favorite song:

Last Night: Another party. Wednesday
This "party" was pretty fun. Through my eyes, we were the life of the party. When we got there we all danced; it was so fun for so little. Two step, Tom's favorite dance. Yahh!!! Since it was dark in the house, we decided it would be a perfect time to creep anyone and everyone we could. It was all fun until we started to get creeped on (FIL!) All in all it was a great....get together.

GIRLS NIGHT! Thursday

On Thursday night, we were bored, as always. Baylee had a grand idea to go out and make smores. We had a game plan to go out and buy marshmellows, chocolate, and gram crackers. Since Christine was in speech, we decided to wait until she was dismissed from class. We had the perfect location in mind....the park! Dun dun dun. But not just any park, the one and only park by the cemetary. There were eight of us. We jumped into Yeni's car and drove off to the park.
We arrived at the erie cemetary and searched for a place to start the fire. At first we wanted to make one in the dark, but all of the fire pits were in the light so we settled for the one closest to the car. We had trouble finding fire wood, but we got it together. At first we couldn't even get a light going but when it finally happened we acted like cave men. It was such a rush. We had actually started a fire!!! Eight girls, women, in the wilderness. No boys, who needs them anyway? Everyone started roasting marshmellows and building smores. It was Frawsome! Then the fire died, but we got pictures of course and a lasting memory.

But the night didn't end there!
Out of the blue, Desiree and Victoria started hearing voices. Soon almost all of us heard strange noises. Of course we are girls, all alone, late at night, so we all went bezurk and booked it for the car. We were screaming bloody mary. Got in the car, bodies in the trunk and sped off. We started driving home and Victoria claimed she saw someone walking in the light where we were. So we decided to go back and check it out. We stopped by the cemetary, which was super scary. Drove around it for a bit. While the night was still young, we were thinking of more things to do. Before we knew it, we were driving up the hill to view Taft from above. The sight was remarkable, lol. For a second, we actually thought we were in a city, a real city! But back to reality, it was getting later and we still had nothing to do. Like most nights here, it ended with a movie from the Redbox. "Haunting in Conneticut." It was a great movie to end this exciting night.

And thats what happened, now and today.

Hey boy, Not you...Margaret.

2009-09-30T15:08:00.000-07:00

Who are we? Vogue Evolution!!! What do we do? VOGUE!!!

It is hard not to be obsessed with this amazing crew that just recently graced the stage of abdc's 4th season. When they we're sent home, my heart was broken. Luckily for America, they were able to come back and join two other unsignificant crews(lol) and wow us one more time. -Watch out for 1:21.

The thing about trouble is...

Well you know.

Us basketball girls sure do know how to find it. We were angels at first. Loved by all. Then all of sudden everyone starts hating on us. We thought we were looked down upon fo the first water balloon fight we had. We voluntarily decorated the sidewalk in front of the library with a rainbow of balloons....that was a close call. But things started to get more serious, in the Dirty T. The cafeteria lady started interrogating us for taking food out, when everyone else and thier grandmothers do it anyway. Margaret is now all over us. -not that kind of all over us. Angelo probably hates us a little right now. - Oh Angelo!

Oh we'll be more trouble, just you wait.

Only in Taft

2009-09-29T15:13:00.000-07:00

So, we're here in Taft, California. Doin what we do best. We've been in the "wonderful" town for about a month. Our time here has been quite the experience despite the short amount of time we've been here. It all began on the 20th of August...at the assessment test. Jasmine here: "So I saw these two blondes across from me. I already knew Bri and Desiree." Christine here: "That was you sitting across from me." I had no clue who it was and we were trying so hard to figure out who was sitting by us. We saw Jesus (Puerto Rican) and Barrett (Canadian) and other future teammates. We had no ides Jesus was Puerto Rican and thought he was just shy. One day, the super sexy scootering six came together...it was meant to be. It's a little rough trying to pick out how we really met but we're all good friends.
Number 1: Bri(ana) Moorer aka Grape
Number 2: Jasmine Green (The future is green, Christine's Best Friend) aka Small Center
Number 3: Christine Taylor (Jasmine's Best Friend) aka Hannah Montana
Number 4: Baylee Day aka Y Baylee-mom
Number 5: Desire(e) Pierce aka Lola
Number 6: Victoria Worthy (Sixer) aka Victoria Secret
The last part of these name are from our good friends the Fruerto Ricans (Puerto). They are pretty cool, they want to shoot us but its all fun and games. There's: Juan, Jesus, Anthony, Nelson, y Model (we don't know his real name.)

There is always some kind of party here. We know that when the parties really started happening, we were the party lol. One week there was a party every single day- Christine, Baylee, and I didn't attend all of them- even on the week days. And the week ended with a BANG! More to come of that weekend.

So here in Taft there's some pretty exciting things that has happened. Getting chased by random red trucks (first time we ever hung out), McDonald runs, running to the track and working out, meeting the baseball boys, hanging out at the "cougar" sign, water balloon fight, Taft football game, dance battle with the soccer girls, Margaret, Golden, soccer games, TIL's, water balloon/paint fight, Angelo, getting mail, cafeteria food, MONEY, sunday dinners, and many more. We'll keep you up on everything that happens.

So recenently, we started this thing...a so called hobby if you will. It is called "Creeping."
Definition: To Creep; the act of using one's hand to sudectively stroke the back of another's head secretly; to wishingly pet the back of someone's head. (verb)- Used in a sentence; "I creeped Desiree's head." "You just got creeped!"
We have creeped many of you people here in Taft, but I bet you didn't know about that.....People including Devan Pearson, Jesus and Franthony, Golden, Yeni, Bruce, aw heck, we've all been creeped on.
Watch out, you may be next!!!

Frometing, else, we frarted has been fralking like this. Can you get it? I froubt it. If you do get it, freep it a frecret okay.

We have only just begun to tell about the amazing chronicles taking place in Taft. Keep checking back in for more....you know you want to.
We love family and friends.

.....and that's what happened now and today.
