Hello walls. Very many exciting things have happened since I last saw you. I made a mold of my face with plaster, went on a swimming trip with my favorite Myrick trio, shopped international wares at the World Market and watched Back to the Future at Kenley's, proving to more and more of my friends that Todd Sapp is indeed related to Michael J. Fox. I'll post all the pictures from me, Jenna and John's adventure of making molds of our faces whenever I can get a hold of his pictures too, but for now I would like to share some videos of Chris Myrick. He is one of my favorite people of all time. Chris is starring in Cobb's production of "Oklahoma" and he decided he would sing us a number. This is called "The Farmer and the Cowman Should Be Friends." He finally gets it...on the third try. :0)
(I can't get YouTube to turn the video, so just turn your head. It's worth it.)
And...ACTION!
Take two...
And he succeeds...
Go see Chris in "Oklahoma" next Wednesday and Thursday night at Cobb. It's probably at 7, but I'll let y'all know. Arrivederci!

An Interview
C: What the crap!? That's Paul McCartney!
J: We're actually talking about this?
C: It's just, I'm clicking on MSN's "This Year In Space" pictures and first there are rockets, and then some earths and then some jupiters and some moons and all the sudden, BAM! Paul McCartney! Is he really that old?
J: I just, don't have anything else to say about this. I mean, I'm sorry. My bug bites itch, okay?
C: Jenna, why is Paul mccartney in space?
J: Calyn, I don't know. Maybe he was singing at a space...thing. There was pictures of spacey looking stuff behind him.
C: Well, have you seen his band? They look pretty spacey.
J: Haha...ha...ha...(dying pity laugh.) Owwww, my bug bites! Stop making fun of me. "So, I says to Keith, I says, I'm a Pharisee. I got mad ladies linin' up around the block... " Are we gonna talk about my mountain dew can?
C: What about it?
J: It says weird stuff. Like, "tuned up taste?" Why is that trademarked? Have you ever heard them advertise for mountain dew by saying "tuned up taste?"
C: Can't say I have, Clankey.
J: And why does it say "low-calorie" mountain dew? I realize that zero is a low number, but wouldn't they be better off saying it's "no-calorie" mountain dew? And doesn't the fact that it's "diet" mountain dew already mean that there's no calories? They're just being redundant. They're just being redundant. They're just being redundant.
C: They're repeating themselves.
J: They're saying the same thing twice.
C: We're gonna lose readers this way.
J: Yeah, especially Mr. Scott when he figures out we're drinking his diet sodas.
C: Shhhhhh, don't tell. Besides, we needed energy to move the set thing at 12:30 in the morning.
J: And you know, since you're the "intern" and all you should have complete access to that refridgerator. And a key to the church.
C: I should have a key.
J: That's what I just said, Calyn. You're being redundant.
C: I'm repeating myself.
J: You're saying the same thing twice.
C: That's why it's good that we have friends who have keys. And who don't steal i-pods.
J: We've now reached the portion of the program where we're going to open up the phone lines to take viewer calls.
C: What are we going to ask them?
J: Where's my phone?
C: That's a boring question.
J: Our first caller is on the line all the way from somewhere near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Let's see what she has to say. Let's put her on speaker phone.
Mystery Caller: Hey everybody, this is Sarah and I can't come to the phone right now but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. To leave a numeric page press "1." To leave a text message press "2."
C: Well, that was, um, disappointing. Let's try another caller.
Robert Love: Hey everybody, it's Robert. Leave me a message and have a great day! To page this person press 5 now. To leave a callback number press....
C: This is going well.
Mystery Caller: Hey, hey, hey. My phone's about to die!
J: We called Robert because you didn't answer.
M.C.: Call me back on Robert's phone. Okay, bye.
Robert: Hello!?
J: Hey!
Robert: What's up? So, what are y'all doing? I'm getting like, mystery calls.
J: We're making an interview on Calyn's blog.
C: I'm typing everything you say, Robert.
R: I should talk really fast.
J: No, don't do that.
R: Note to self: don't do that. Do I need to say something incredibly intelligent?
J: Yeah
R: I don't have anything like that, probably. It's just your inflated sense of significance speaking.
C: impart us some wisdom.
R: It's raining. I just saw a flying cow. I'm really sorry you're missing this because it's amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing one or both of you in a few weeks.
J: Calyn's coming. I can't come because I've gotta work.
C: Do you have anything to say to the people, Robert?
R: Um, yeah. First the "um" and then, "Trust God." There. You have it. That's as deep as I get. That's it. You can talk to Sarah now.
Sarah: I would first like to say that I am very excited to be involved in one of these interviews because I always read them but I'm not in them. Then I would like to say that I'm very sad because I'm not there. I'm honored.
J: But you are here. You're on speaker phone. Um, so...
C: If we were to ask you a question, what would be your answer to it?
S: Life is like a cookie.
C: Sarah, it's "Life IS a cookie."
S: Oh, don't type that. Michael just called me on my phone. My phone is bleeping that's it's going to die if I open it.
C: We'll call Michael and tell him that you can't talk on your phone because it's going to die.
J: We love you.
S: Love you. Call me back.
J: Okay, bye. Are we ready for the wonder that is Michael Phillips?
C: Oh yes.
Michael: Hello?
J: Okay, so me and Calyn, we're at my house and we're making an interview on her blog and so we were about to do it and we were talking to Sarah and so we put her in there. You're in the interview.
M: I'm part of the interview?
J: Yes.
M: I get royalties for this, right?
C: If you talk slow.
J: So, we called Sarah and it went to voicemail and then we called Robert and Sarah said her phone's dying and then you called her on her phone but she couldn't answer it because it was about to die so we said that we would call you and tell you. Sarah said you'd have some wisdom to impart.
M: I've been known for my motivational speeches. I gave one to the Steelers before the superbowl.
C: What would you like to say, Michael?
M: wow, I've never had a chance to speak to so many people at once.
C: Michael, you write for a newspaper.
M: Oh yeah. I just finished a round of trivial pursuit.
J: You were with friends?
M: Yeah, his name is Naffi.
C: Where's he from?
M: Um, America. His last name is Naffsinger. His real name is David, but David's not very exciting.
J: Okay, here's a hummdinger. If we were going to ask you a question, what would the answer be?
M: That's the question of the day?
J: You can't answer the question in a form of a question.
M: That's easy. Julius Caesar.
J: Why?
M: Because your question was going to be, "Who was the emperor alive at the time of Christ's birth?"
C: Hey, wait, that wasn't Julius Caesar.
M: Oh, yeah. You're right; that was Augustus.
*Lots of talking proceeds. Calyn's fingers are not this fast.
C: In closing, Michael, is there anything you would like to say?
M: Everybody go read my articles.
C: Okay. There you have it, people.
*Portions of this interview not affecting the final outcome have been edited for time.

IT'S OVER!
You have to say it in the Strongbad voice or it's no fun. If you don't know who "Strongbad" is or need to be reminded, first of all that's just sad, and second of all, click here. Like I said, it's over. Exams, that is. And that means that summer has officially begun. We'll start the festivities tonight by me, Jenna and John making photo molds of our faces. (It's hard to describe. When we finish I'll post a picture.) Then Carli's coming to join the celebration later this weekend. Oh, and it's Mr. Robbin Day, so happy Mr. Robbin day to you all. Go, play an instrument or ride your bike or something. I think that's how you celebrate. Or maybe show up at his party tonight. That might be a good idea. Then you wouldn't get any injuries and no one would have to listen to you play the guitar.

I just had to share this:
So, today I was driving to the gas station on the corner of Talpeco and Monroe and you know that furniture/grill/stove store on North Monroe right near there? Well, they have a scrolling marquee and it says "New furnature." What is the world coming to?
The Tacos Have Gone to Their Heads
Per Ethan's request, I have decided to upload the photos from Saturday night's Taco Bell escapade. :0)
We entertained the Taco Bell employees, that's for sure.
The birthday man himself.
Jenna's friend got her pictures developed and in one of them she's in the car and this scary girl is in the backseat with like, hair all over face and its really scary. So this is Chris and Jenna trying to copy it.

See, they get a hold of my camera and these things happen.

Sappy fighting himself. They were very enamored with my "coupling" feature.
Ethan punching himself in the stomach.
Ethan shooting himself
Sappy again fighting himself.
Munching on sauce packets...they're weird.
Chris displaying some fiesta potatoes
This is like, the worst picture of Rachel ever. She really doesn't look like this. I promise.
This is Brandon trying to be the scary girl from the scary story Jenna told us. He WAY surpassed the scary girl.
David picking his nose.
AHHHH!!! This is like, the scariest picture I have EVER seen. Nightmares are coming...
A floating head!
Brandon, what happened to your body!?
Jenna and Brandon switching bodies for a little while.
Sappy and I exchanging bodies. That coupling feature is fun.

Around the World Night
Tonight me and Jenna headed to Sarah and Morgan's house for our last family group get-together. :0( We had "around the world" night and it was really fun. Me and Jenna made borscht. The food was for real good. Yu made authentic chinese food and that was exciting because I'd never had "real" Chinese food before. Shamona made Jamaican plantains, Sarah made Norweigan cookies, Matt made carne asada and a bunch of other people made a bunch of other really good food. Then we played "Catch-phrase" and my favorite quote of the evening was Sarah trying to describe the word "sorry." She said, "Oh, like, I hit someone in the face and then I say, 'Oh! I'm ______!'"
We played with the coupling feature again. :0) Here's Kelly and Shamona. Or Shamona and Kelly...whatever.
That one is by far my favorite.
Kelly and Jenna
Me and Sarah
Me and Jenna
Jenna, Sarah and Morgan
Yu was excited about playing Catch Phrase
Shamona's face in the background is the best.
Shamona trying to do her best Zoolander "magnum" face.
Me and Sarah. We are just so cool.
Oh yeah.

Insert "hail" pun here: ___________
Quote o' the day:
"All hail broke loose!" - Brandon Myrick
Today we went to Wakulla Springs for Chris Myrick's birthday and there was a hailstorm! Like, quarter-sized pieces of hail. It was intense. Like the circus. Brandon yelled, "All hail broke loose!" Chris started singing "Hail, hail, Lion of Judah" from the Easter musical, and variations of phrases such as "What the hail?" and "HAIL no!" were heard from under the pavilion. Kenley should have been there. He would have had a field day.
Me and Jenna holding some hail.
I'm glad I own a dent-resistant car.
That is a lot of ice.
Afterwards we made some nice ice sculptures and partook of fine icy delicacies.

More Fun Pictures
I know...I have a photo problem. I need medication. :0)
Bible study on Monday was AMAZING! Me and Jenna and Juliet had a great time diving into I John.
Jumping into I John (a great book, by the way. I highly recommend it. :0)
Jenshka and Juliet
I really like this picture of Jenna.
M&M's scattered on Psalm 119. These are "spring bouquet 2006" m&m's. We call them the "70's couch-cushion edition." Don't those colours just remind you of your grandma's house?
Then on Wednesday night we had an ice-cream social/Watch the musical party in the MPR. The choir, orchestra, and drama team all hung out and we watched Mrs. Lisa's tape of the musical. Good times.
Me and Mrs. Martha
Me and Mr. Barry
I love Rita.
Jesus shaves!
Mr. Barry wearing both of his sets of glasses. :0)

Quotes o' the Easter musical:
"He who sat upon the scroll..." - Todd Sapp
"One...AH HA HA! Two...AH HA HA..." - Dayton Jones
"Hey Reid, could we get a little more of the choir in the speaker?" - random choir member
Mr. Reid- "NO!"
If anyone has any other ones to add, feel free. :0) I'm just making a mental note to myself on paper.
I've been informed of 2 more quotes from Shannon:
"All worthy are you to take the scroll and to open it's seals" - Mr. Dayton
(That was a funny one. On all of our lines it had the person who was supposed to say the line in all-caps and so it would say, like, "CALYN: blah, blah, blah," or "DAYTON: blah, blah, blah, blah." Well, the last scene there were a couple of sections that said "ALL: blah, blah, blah." Mr. Dayton read his lines word for word and when we got to the ALL section he just read that too. "ALL: Worthy are you..."
"Take it to the sheets! Hey, that's from the godfather." - Me
"That would be take it to the mattresses." - Shannon
