FOTW: The Saga Begins

It all began with Michael Pierce. One simple set up with Ash and Michael launched our mission: to go on as many dates as possible. The following dates ensued: Michael, Ash, Lee, Mike (Lee and Mike were not on a date together, Eileen. We were just borrowing him.); Matt Baer, Lee, Matt Larson, Ash; John H, Lee, John F, Ash; John H, Lee, Sean, Ash; John H, Lee, Eric, Ash; John H., Lee, John G, Ash. In the beginning of the Summer, Lee and Ash spent one week at Camp Spike N Wave as counselors for children with epilepsy. This is where Ash met John G. ˇOh, what a fortunate adventure for Ashley! Supposedly, she spent much time talking and ranting to John G about her hellish week. However, Ash was unfortunate enough to suffer through the dates with Eric and Sean before bowling with John G on a Monday one dollar bowling night. Lee was lucky in finding John H on an earlier date. Also, Lee and Ash attended NTLP, some stupid leadership thing, in Austin. Funny story about NTLP--it was a HUGE mixup. Ash told Lee about it in May and Lee thought Ash really wanted to go. Lee was like "alright sure, i'll go, maybe it will be fun and we'll meet some new people". Lee really didn't care if she went or not. Ash thought Lee really wanted to go and was like "alright i'll go if she wants to go. it will be cool to be roommates in the dorm at UT." So, really, neither person had any big desire to go. It ended up sucking bigtime. NTLP people wanted everyone to do a gay dance at the "awards ceremony". Lee and Ash knew they had to bolt early or they would lose all shred of sanity. Lee called her dad on her handy cell phone during the Saturday night dance. Long story short, Lee's Dad had an emergency at the hospital and Ash and Lee had to go back to Houston early. Damn. We are so scandalous. Anyways, along the way, something funny happened. Ash and Lee became partial to two Johns (hint: Not John F.). Lee went on more than one date with John H. (gasp!!) Fourth of July was spent with the Johns and other less significant people. This seemed to cement all feelings. During the week between Lee's vacations, quality time was spent together. Its now one month later. August 5th and August 6th are the one month anniversary dates of Ash and John and Lee and John, respectively. John H is in Canada now. bleh.

three months later...october 6th. everything is still copacetic. Homecoming is this weekend. Lee and Ash are of course going with their captive Johns. And St. Pius is going to kick Strake's ass tomorrow at the football game. On that note, I must include in this update, that tomorrow I'm having a nice little co-ed sleepover at my house after homecoming. In attendence (attendance??) will be 12 close friends, including my boyfriend, Ash, and of course Ash's boyfriend. Just a night of trampoline and movies. I'm contemplating renting Crossroads and making everyone watch it. I've done it once before, though, I dont know if they'd go for it again. Someone suggested Twister. Someone else suggested Water Twister, a unique "twist" on the old game we all know and love. Unfortunately, my water twister is in Galveston so it shall be saved for another day. I once heard that if you write too much, people will stop reading and get bored. So, assuming that someone out there is still reading this, this is just a simple warning that theres not much left to this page, so you might as well finish it.

on a more important note...Mariah Carey has a new song out. I'm happy. ˇViva la revolución!

updating, november of 2003, ash and lee graduated this past spring (of 03) and are now in college. Ash is A&M with half of Texas and Lee is at Southwestern University in georgetown (NOT SOUTHWEST TEXAS ST!!!). Ash is at school with the same John guy and Lee has had a string of boyfriend-type people after John, after she broke up with him in February of 03. She is now dating a guy named Jose at SU with her, since the beginning of October (its now 11.14.03). Stay tuned for more. New update...04.19.04. Lee is currently not dating Jose. Lee got back together with John, the original John, over Christmas break and then broke up with him in February of this year. She is currently, well, nobody really knows whats going on with it right now. I'll post if it becomes anything official ever.

 A Simple Poem...
THE GOOD TIMES (by Ash)(summer, 2002)

The guys
Some backwards lies (not by us though!)
All were cute,
One psycho to boot
Some athletes, some preps
Some with not-so-good reps

Double names, double dates
Usually double fates
Tank tops and glossed lips
"I could really use a pair of hips!"
The Michael Test
Not all passed, some were better than the rest

Nice ring
Bling bling
Bowling witch
Late switch
What's that score?
Fore!

Partners in crime
Grand theft, anytime
Thelma and Louise
Keep talking, please
Are you on JV?
Food? Don't look at me!

Not bright
Cat fight
Driving, driving
Music jiving
"Where are they?"
Just because he's feminine doesn't mean he's gay!

The Bitch songs
Lee's thongs
Abercrombie
Anticrombie
Watch the road!
Ignore us, it's just our unspoken code

A and B
Did he just say he climbed a tree?
Ooh, one of your kind!
Go for that one, he seems kind
I hope he doesn't crash
"That's just an inside joke between me and Ash"

Mini golf or putt putt
No one really calls it that, but...
Almost killed at Starbucks
So maybe some of us do dance like ducks
What kind of freaks tie at bowling?
"Is this the wrong frappucino I'm holding?"

Then something happened unexpected
We let them slip by undetected
Kept the double names
The silly games
Looking back, who'd have thought?
Now, pause and feel sorry for the ones we caught
(hahahaha)
