Hey.........nobody! How is everyone? I'm so awesomely fantastic! I got a new coat today and it's the cutest coat ever! I'm so super excited. My mom got it for me for Christmas so it's put away until then! I don't even care! I'm just so excited! Yay!

Chelsea

I love buying clothes. I was planning to go shopping this weekend, but I have to take home that stupid electronic baby home for health class for the weekend. No shopping for me! I do need some new shoes and jeans, though.........

Hey, I know how you feel I had to take one of those things home once for the weekend...yeah that didn't go so well....I didn't even last a day! I hired a babysitter tho, so it all worked out. I myself am not very big on shopping unless its for art supplies or books...or archie's newest album...or video games...anywhos yeah I'm just weird like that.

Speaking of wicked cool siggies, I love yours, Veritaserum. Who made that? Did you?

Haha yeah that baby doesn't sound like a lot of fun...but I am going shopping on Friday! I'm out of jeans. I'm going to need to do something about that.

Umm...as much as I would like to say that I did make it myself...I can't take the credit. No, actually it popped up on photobucket and I thougt it was pretty cool (matched my avi--that I did make myself--anyway). I like yours too, Archie is my hero.*gush* Anywho...I know what you mean, I personally love jeans...I own too many.

Hi Peeps

hey, jillsquee! uuughhh... this stupid health class baby is really on my last nerve. it woke me up 6 times last night, and then it hasn't stopped crying all day until now. I seriously passed out from exhaustion (ok, that's stretching it a little), but i did fall asleep! i counted, and got a grand total of 2 whole hours of sleep! grrr... gotta go. he's crying again.

Sadie

Haha it's true! Yep I was over there and you have to rock the heavy baby (it gets heavier after each minute) back and forth, back and forth, and then to add to that Sadie's got a real live baby to babysit too!

I like faded jeans...but they don't sell many really really faded jeans, the kind that I like. They sell the medium shade and the dark shade.

Wow I'd like to find a siggy like that for Ravenclaw, but that's probably one-of-a-kind.

poor Sadie, hope you get a good grade!

Hello! Anyone here? How is everyone?

Well, I'm here now, but that doesn't really do you any good now since you're not here.

I was super busy all day. From the moment I got up this morning until now I've been doing something. Now I just want to sit and post here on VTM. Haha.

Oh my gosh, I made dinner tonight and I'm sorry but it was good. My mom really likes when she gets home from work and dinner is made. (She works twice a week.) So tonight I made Mac' and cheese from scratch with boiled vegetables and chicken nuggets. (Those were out of a bag, but whatever.) It was really good too.

But other than that, there is no news.

Chelsea

Chelsea! And everyone else! I've missed you guys! And hi, Karina. I see you've made you're way here.

So... David Archuleta's album came out and it is my favorite thing in the universe. Its so amazing. Go buy it everyone! Hehe. David Cook's comes out tomorrow. I'm stoked.

Yumm, that meal sounds yummy, Chels. I had pasta and meat sauce tonight. It was quite good.

I have to do homework, but I wanted to pop in and say "yo!" And now I'll be leaving, I suppose.

E-love ya'!

Oh Archie's album is out?? Didn't know that..I"m not really in tune with thtat kind of stuff (Haha that was a pun, wasn't it? A really bad one, though!)

When is hte next season of American Idol starting? January? February?

Emma! I'm so sorry I missed you! E-hug for you too! I can't stay, I'm going to watch a movie with my sister.

Talk to you all!
Chelsea

Emma Chels...oh E-hugs! I miss you guys!

E-hugs!! Haha that's funny!

GROUP E-HUG! Haha

Hey whats up?

Thanks, Jilly. I did get a really good grade. Maybe I'll be a good parent... NOT! I'm never ever having kids. Not after that! I got to the point where I was so exhausted that I literally got sick early this morning (like 3 a.m.)! My parents made me go to school to drop off my baby, but then they let me come home early so I could get some rest. I slept for the entire day! It was well worth it, though. I'm so much better now!

Haha I don't care what my health baby experience is like but I love little kids! And babies, of course! And Sadie, even if you did have a kid...you'd most likely have a husband to help you out, too Hahah!

Yes, I'd like to brag about my new avvie and siggy now...yay! I got my siggy specialized! Made by Karina herself! Thanks so much! And then Nasuada made the cool blue avvie, which rocks too!

Sadie~Can I borrow your copy of Twilight?

Sha, Mads. There's another girl who wants to borrow it, and she doesn't treat books so well. Please take a long time reading it so that I can honestly say that I don't know EXACTLY where it is!

Haha Sadie! Shame shame shame on you! Giving hte half-truth sneaky sneaky! JK

Nice siggy, Sadie, with the 'Since 1901' Where di you find that?

Hey people! E-hugs for everyone!

Aww, Sadie. I'm sorry you don't want to have kids. And you would have a husband to help you out. I would love to have kids when I grow up. Well, get married first obviously. That doesn't seem very likely for me, but if I do get married, I want to have tons of kids! I want to have at least 5 kids if not more! Maybe I'll have a dozen like my grandma did!

Chelsea

Whoa! Five? A dozen? i couldn't handle that! I'd have...two kids, probably, maybe three. But I wouldn't want to have a huge family.

Well, I WOULD like to have kids still, but definately not until I'm out of college with at least a degree in something that will get me a good job. I will have a husband to help me out, but still. It's hard work! I want a maximum of 3 kids, though. 2 would be ideal. I used to want like 10, but I've changed my mind.

Oh, Maddie. In Twilight

Sorry to add the spoiler thing. Some people haven't read it.

Sadie

Hey everybody! Maddie, glad you liked the siggy. Now lets see, emmy good to see you around here again. Haha, yeah that baby sure can change the way you look at having kids. I myself never really saw me with too many kids. But I don't want to even start thinking about that until after I've enjoyed the freedom of my youth for a while.

Chels! A dozen... That's a lot of kids! Oh well, my dad knew this lady that had 20-some kids, not all of them grew up though I'm told. Well we've all got our dreams and hopes for the future.

Ciao for now,
Karina

20 kids??? OMG! That's a nightmare!

Yeah, Maddie. I'm looking for Twilight in a few minutes. You'll have to wait. VTM is much more important than your need right now.... LOL! Just kidding.

Bye!
Sadie
xoxo

Yes, Karina...enjoyy the freedom of your youth

Anybody here have to go to religion??? I do. It's so painful!! 1 hour long every Wednesday, when if I were doing all the classwork at home it would take me 5 minutes. Ugggg....

WOW!! 20 some kids?? Taht's...uh...a lot. (That was an understatement!)

EDIT: Sadie! we posted at the exact same time...AGAIN!! Heehee OK thanks though! My friend is going crazy about how awesome Twilight is!

which friend? i'd like to meet her. then we can talk about twilight, and then kick you out because you haven't read it yet! mwahahahaha!

Anyway... No religion class for me! I don't do any of that until I'm 16 and get confirmed. Anyone else have to? Go to religion class, I mean.

Does anyone else get a comfirmation name when they get comfirmed? Mine will be Abigail. After Abigail Adams, and a woman named Abigail in the bible who stopped a war or something.

Sadie

Sadie, hey you're Catholic too? Yeah, my sister and I were confirmed last year. We were confirmed early with a few of our cousins. I chose the name Elizabeth after St. Elizabeth of Hungary. She's my favorite saint. My sister chose the name Agnes. I don't really care for the name myself, but my sister loves that saint so it's all good. I had so much fun picking a saint to name myself after. The thing is we didn't go to religion class, or C.C.D or whatever you call it. My mom taught us at home since we're homeschooled anyway. It worked. And we were confirmed early so that makes me excited.

Well, I've got to run.

Chelsea

Nope! Not Catholic. I'm Episcopalion, so I can not get confirmed until I am at least 16. Episcopalion is sort of like Baptist, but leans toward the catholic side. We also lean towards the Roman Catholic side, and the Apistolic side.

Oh ok! Yeah, I forgot that Episcopals were confirmed too. I know someone who's Episcopalian too and she said it's really like Roman Catholicism. Cool.

Chelsea

Oh, Nasuada, i"m Catholic! I have to admit we're not real great about going to church every weekend...but we're still Catholic people (I get onto people about saying 'Oh my God')

Yeah I don't think I get a Confirmation name. I'll get Confirmed when I'm 18 though. Just a few weeekends ago they had the junior Confirmation candidates for next year (It was a weekend where my family actually went to church ) What's the point of the Confirmation name anyways?

Oh, and Sadie- You've already met her-- it's Bailee. And also, once you've found it, and I've read it, you cant kick me out! MUAHAHA back!

EDIT: Wow, I wish my parents would home-religion-educate me, because our class is kinda boring and all the 'bad'' kids go to our religion. Rather ironic...

Haiii! I'm back, haha! I've been busy, with, umm, my... life... Okay, with Twilight. BUT, I also have school to deal with, soo... yeah. Just saying hi.

My great-grandma had 14 kids! I find that pretty extreme. I want, um, 2? Or something like that, haha. I definitely want a girl, though. If I don't have one I'll cry or something.

I'm catholic, but I don't go to church that much. I haven't been confirmed yet, can't remember why, haha.

Well, toodles!

Nathaliee!

Hey Nat! I would never have two kids, unless that was all I could have for some reason. I'm in a family of two and it's horrible. Just the two of us, and the whole 'the perfect two' thing bothers me. No, I'm going to aim high. If the Lord allows, I'd like to have lots of kids.

Well, I'm a very faithful Catholic myself. I go to church every Sunday and as often as I can in between. I just love our faith I guess. It's so beautiful to me.

Well, my sister is bugging me to use the computer so I must go.

Chelsea

Yeah you sound like my family, Wings!! We've gone to church the past few weekends...but besides that...not much (Ok, not at all!)

I'm desperate to get my hands on Twilight!! Sadie, call me when you find it! I will come right over and get it!

It's so funny becuase my friend's sister and my other friend are trying to be like vampires and being happy when their hands are cold. LOL

I consider religion to be like a guideline, our beliefs. In my view, you don't have to be ultr-faithful to have a good life. All you have to do is understand the rules...then break some. No offense to anyone deeply dedicated. Don't get me wrong I like going to church sometimes and letting it all out. Just not too often.

Hey, is anyone gonna go watch Twilight tonight? Ahh I can't wait. I just hope the other people aren't so excitd that they won't let me hear anything. Anywhos, whats crackin? what are your guys' plans for the hollys?

Well I'm out!

Laterz,
Karina

UUUGGGGHHHH! I was talking to my dad, and he said that he would've bought me tickets to the premire if I had asked ahead of time, and then I was going to see it in theaters tomorrow, but then I got grounded this morning!!! Grrr... Well, I'll have to settle for seeing it next weekend, I guess....

For the holidays, for the first time ever, my family is staying home for Thanksgiving. Then we are going to stay here for Christmas, and then to the soup kitchen to hand out a Christmas supper. Yum! For New Year's, I'm going to a party with my friends, and my parents are hosting one at my house.

Sadie
xoxo

I think I can relate to that, Karina! I don't think faith is based on whether or not you go to church every weekend. I think you can still be a good Catholic/Episcopalian/Whatever.

No...I"m still waiting on Sadie trying to find that book! Nah I"m just kdding, Sadie! I don't usually watch movies if they are books and I haven't read them yet...Check under the REd Room bed though, Sades...Emma said that's where she found her American Girl doll dog.

Hey! How's everyone?

I'm Catholic, I got Confirmed when I was 12, and my Confirmation name was Chloe. No particular reason why...
And I hardly ever go to Mass, only at Easter and Christmas.

LOL Well if I were you I"d already be Confirmed!! But no, I still have to wait until I"m 18...

By the way- I'm kinda wondering what hte point of having a Confirmation name is. Can anyone help me?

Hey Maddie, I'll try to enlighten you.

Choosing a separate confirmation name has been a centuries-old custom for those baptized as infants but confirmed later. The name, freely chosen and reflecting the candidate’s devotion to a saint, can be a sign of commitment to living as a Christian in today’s world under the patronage of someone they admire. So really, it's signifying being Confirmed. When you're Confirmed, it is a sign of your devotion and consecration to Jesus Christ. So by choosing a Confirmation name, you're picking your own new name for yourself as an 'adult in the church' where you now are responsible for following the teachings of the church, to profess and love the faith and live in it and stand up for it.

I hope that clears it up for you.

Chelsea

I'm Anglican so I don't think I get confirmed, but I used to be episcopalian and new nothing about getting confirmed so i don't know...?

OK thanks! That makes more sense now. It just shows that you have been Confirmed. I'm not sure if I get a Confirmation name, thought. That'd be kind of cool, though.

Cool! I'm glad I cleared that up for you.

Oh I wish I could stay longer, but every time I have gotten on in the past few days I have to leave! Sorry!

Chelsea

Yay! I'm back on. I got grounded for being mean to my little siblings, and then I couldn't go on the computer for an extra day because I snuck on to post once while my parents were away...

Jilly- Well, I think that you'd still get confirmed. Anglican is like Episcopalian, I think. We say a prayer and it says "In the Anglican Cycle of Prayer we pray to the church of _*insert church and priest's name*____. So you might get confirmed. You should talk to your priest/pastor/whatever-you-call-him about getting confirmed.

Sadie

Turns out I DO get a Confirmation name. Kinda neat, eh??? Well, I think so.

I AM SOOO DAZZLED BY TWILIGHT!! Wow. I read TWilight in a little less than 7 hours on Saturday and know I"m halfway thruogh New Moon. These books are great!! I think I might be a little slow to actually pick up the book and read them...compared to everyone else.

Oops got to go now!! My Dad needs to get on...

Hey, peeps. i'm killing time while I'm waiting for my 974 pictures to upload to my computer from my camera. I haven't taken them off since the 4th of July, so it's a little crowded... Good thing I have a 1500 picture memory card, eh?

Sadie

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy thanksgiving to you!!

Happy Turkey Day!
