At 2:56pm on July 14, 2008, Hillary said…: haha! thats too cool! i guess i learned something new too! obviously im extremely southern so we always have funny saying. when we are surprised we say "well shit fire and green apples!" haha!

At 2:39pm on July 14, 2008, Hillary said…: well it might just be a saying here in the south, but what i mean is, you are always friendly with people. if you first meet them, to others it looks like you have known them forever. thats the way i am.

At 8:03pm on July 13, 2008, Landon said…: well my dad has always wanted me to be a doctor cause my uncle is one, my grandpa was one my great grandpa, great great grandpa was one so he wants to make sure we can keep thins going on for as long as possible, well if i couldent be a doctor i would probably go into college proffesor for anatomy cause i wouldent mind teaching others on becoming a doctor!

At 6:30pm on July 13, 2008, Hillary said…: i hope to do it at a football game, considering its the most popular sport in America, but its going to be difficult. i might need a little help from my friends. so are you one of those people who never meets strangers?

At 6:09pm on July 12, 2008, Hillary said…: sometimes i do. it depends on who. my friends, but only the closest, and they accept me for who i am. also what my family thinks. but anyone else, i just tell them to shove it up their ass.

At 9:24pm on July 10, 2008, Nick said…: that is quite the list... I'd almost have to guess that youre a more ambitious adrenaline junkie than I am! I would like to join you for the tomato throwing festival!

At 11:50am on July 10, 2008, Hillary said…: i think its a little bit of both i think. on one hand, people love the fact that we are so outspoken, and so honest, and i make a great shopping pal! lol. but i think sometimes im just so stubborn, i dont see the error of my ways and refuse to do so in the future. of course,im still young and learning. what about you?

At 3:17am on July 10, 2008, michael rochford said…: you should def make time for it, my older sis was/is a fantastic painter but she never gave herself a chance to pursue it, she is now a highly paid but miserable lawyer i a big city and cant escape the RAT RACE. so follow ur dreams!
