5/16/99 Well, here it is, my new page! This is the grand opening!! On Angelfire I can do so much more than on Delphi, but don't get me wrong, Delphi was a good starting point for me. But, if you linked me under members.delphi.com (if you linked me at all...) just change it, okie? The main reason I created a new Tacky Shack and left the old behind is because in real life I AM creating a new Tacky Shack. You old faithful readers know what I'm talking about, but you new people are probably thinking, "What the hell is that all about?!" The Tacky Shack was my bedroom, but since I'm moving to Florida it is now in boxes. So when I get down to Florida I shall create a new Tacky Shack, just like I'm creating here. Yeap, you have all now been enlightened!
5/18/99 I have added a songs page now! Yeap, and two songs are up so far...cool beans eh? I'm now going to start working on the poems pages. I'll add that link as soon as possible.
5/21/99 Another reason for this new page is to make improvements. I have decided to have a Log Book. In the Log Book I'll enter all the enteries that I put on this page. I guess you could call it the Tacky Shack journal. On the Delphi site there was all that damn typing so you had to scroll forever to get to some links. So sorry for the inconvience!! So I'll probably only allow two enteries on the main page at a time. I'm sure that all you people are just beaming with pride... I'm thinking of adding these horoscopes that I once wrote for my school newspaper, but they are kinda harsh. I got lots of complaints! But, you know, they'd get here alot faster if I had some requests for them...~hint hint~. I may also put up some of the articals I wrote, we'll just have to see how busy Pecan Pip is in these next few days...
5/22/99 Alright, alright, I must admit, I be a Star Wars fan and just had to see the new movie. Sorry, I couldn't help myself! So, I went, I bought the tickets six hours before the show, I got to the theater fifty minutes before it even started, I stood in line for fifty minutes, and I still had to get seats in the back because dad and Susan didn't want to sit in the front row. Sheesh! But, folks, it was an awesome movie. I just HATED that damned Binks thingy!!! He was so dan annoying!! That had better not have been Chewbacca's replacemant as the sidekick. NO one can ever replace the awesome and all mighty Chewbacca!!!
5/30/99 I am back from D.C. It was a pretty cool trip...but I'm too tired right now to tell about it right now. I'll type it tomorrow...promise.
5/31/99 Alrighty, it's 2:24 A.M. My sleepiness left me quickly when I tried to sleep so here I am...updating. See, ye all can count on me after all! I must say, the D.C. trip was one I shall never forget. I shall definatly put pictures up from it, I swear!! And when I put up hte picture I shall tell the stories of the weird adventures with Tami Ruebush, Megan Hollenbaugh, Amanda Bradley, Amanda Claggett, and our awesome chaperone, Cheryl (Megan's mum). I have decided to dedicate a page to my awesome Lunch Table here at Twin Valley South (me school from kindergarden to eighth grade). I shall definatly miss have lunch with the bunch of perverts that I share 45 minutes a day with...so check out the Lunch Table Domain!
6/7/99 Well, Memorial Day sucked. I got to spend time with my cousins. Oh joy. Last week sucked. This weekend sucked. Today sucked. Nothing much new. But, my last day of school is this Thursday! Yes, there is a God! But, as always, the God of Mercy must hate me because I may be suspended tomorrow. My principal is such a dick head. Ass hole. Of course, this is all my bitchy American History teacher's fault, Ms. Hake. Ohhh, she shall shurly rot in the fiery depths of Hell! Well, my father got married on Saturday the 5th. Oy, wife number 3. On Sunday we had an open house so maybe one of those peoples who walked through our house will buy it. While the open house was going on the family and I went to Cliffton Gorge. My ankel gave out and I got some nice rocks stuck in my knee. Happened yesterday and it still hurts like Hell. My phrase for the day is "Why Me?!" Oh yeah, I'm having a graduation this Tuesday...tomorrow. Hemmm, this shall be interesting....
UPDATE...UPDATE...I have gotten the pictures for my D.C. Trip up!...UPDATE...UPDATE...
6/10/99 It be the last day of school! Yippie! I'm in the compooter lab in Science, so I decided to up date since I'll be busy creaming my brothers with shaving cream when school lets out (with help of Michael, of course). Graduated on Tuesday. Now I guess I'm an official Freshman. Hell if I know. I ment to bring my didgital camara to school but forgot (dammit). So the picture of our leader Cole shall remain a mystery....unless someone gives me his picture... who knows.
6/14/99 Here is a picture of Megan Hollenbaugh and I making coffee at 1 A.M. on the D.C. Trip. Speaking of which, I shall try to get more pictures up quickly, I promise! On the last day of school my plan of creaming my brothers worked, hell, I even got help from Josh, Sean, and Michael! But my comrads turned on me! They creamed ME and then Josh began spraying me with the hose, every where except my face because it was so covered in shaving cream I couldn't open my eyes. And Michael was making run-by attacks, getting more shaving cream in my mouth and up my nose! It finally ended when Josh wrapped the hose around my ankels and tripped me, I got a good grip on the hose, and sprayed them (not very well, remember, I was technically blind). In the end everyone had shaving cream on them and was partially soaked. What a great last day!
6/16/99 The me Me ME page is updated, and I think you all will find some interesting things there. I also put up all the pictures from D.C. that I decided to add. Take a look at those! They are cool.
6/17/99 The picture above is of my work station! The black squarish thing is my laptop, and you can see my sterio system, and notice all the discarded Diet Coke cans! You can also see me awesome Gourd Hat, hand crafted by me ofcourse... And isn't the background the damn best lookin' foot you've ever seen?! Oh yes, my feet are awesome, and many people grovel at them... Lookie at all I've added! A pic of Indy, Calvin and Hobbes, and ICQ message thingy, a survey, a guest book, I also have a chat room now! Check it out, maybe you will get lucky and catch me in there!
6/18/99
Lookie what Pip made! By the way, I may be going rafting
in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania this week! I'll tell more of
that as the plans un-ravel. For now, enjoy yourselves!
6/20/99 Okie, we're leaving for Pennsylvania on Monday at 7:30 A.M. and we'll raft on Tuesday. Launching time is 11 A.M. and we'll return Wednesday, so there won't be any up-dates those three days. I'll get back late Wednesday. Ye know what, I think I'm going to start a page where I'll put al the books that I feel everyone must read in order to be whole. Ahhh, yes, I am a book worm and I love compooters and I get good grades, plus I love Tacky Things. I'm a Class A Nerd!
6/21/99 I added a book review page! Not all the reviews are up but there's enough there to keep you people busy while I'm gone! OY! IT'S 12:23 A.M. AND I HAVE TO GET UP AT 6 A.M.!!!! NIGHTY NIGHT!!!
6/24/99 Well, I'm trying to decide how to type my vacation up here. To say the least, I've been to Hell and back again, so I suspose I'll just give it to you straight.
#1. My brothers were a PAIN IN THE ASS the whole drive there! My youngest bother Philip (8 years old) was sitting in the back seat with me and by the end of hte trip he had cracker and rice cake crumbs all over the floor, and in the pocket of the seat infront of him he had stuck half an Egg McMuffin, two pieces of melting Kit Kat Bar, a Peanut Butter Cup Avalanche icecream thingy which eventually fell over, getting sticky stuff all over the pocket and the floor. Philip annoyed me to no end by turning the music on his damn Poke Mon game up all the way. UGH! Then Aaron (who is 11) always annoys me just because of the way he acts. But in the raft he was whinning about the water and then he wouldn't paddle!! AHAHAHA!!! I about smacked him up-side the head with my paddle!!
#2. The Youghiogheny River was TOO DAMN SHALLOW!! First we had to drag the raft about 13 feet down the river to where it was deep enough and Aaron was complaining the whole way while Philip was just sitting in the raft as comfortable as can be because mum didn't want him in the river since he can't swim. The water was about 20 degrees!! But we had to drag the raft almost the whole way because we kept getting stuck on rocks. There were only two rapids where we didn't have to drag the damn raft through them. On the river I got sooo sunburnt. It's on my legs and my arms and this is the worst sunburn I've ever had! I couldn't walk or stand up straight on Wednesday, the day after! I hobbled into every McDonalds and Arbys on the way home and was so burnt I could barley walk. People were giving me the weirdest looks...
#3. I couldn't get on the internet and I was suffering from serious Net Withdraw.
#4. The trip reminded me that I'm moving to a state that is flat and doesn't have great hiking trails that go through lush green forests. I'm going to miss the mountains!!
#5. I wanted to go to Maryland with mum's friend Jennifer (Waterlily)! Waterlily and her daughter Sarah, and her step daughter Nikki met us at the campground and Waterlily and Sarah rafted with us (but they ranted their own Rubber Ducky).
All in all, the trip sucked ass. I'll have lovely pictures up when my film is developed.
6/25/99 Well, I added a page all about Cereal Boy and if you want to know who Cereal Boy is you'll just have to fo there now won't you?!
6/26/99 Today has definatly not been dull. Well, actually, most of it WAS dull, except for when, at about 6:15 P.M., one of the strangest thing that has ever happened to me happened. I was literally "shit upon"! Now you people are probably thinking, "Yeah, you get shit upon all the time, you have two birds...duh!" But, this is quite different... Read on and I'll tell ya all about it.
It was a nice evening, on the 25th of June. This isn't on my last up-date because that up-date was made at 2:00 A.M. and this incident happened at approxamentally 6:15 P.M. I was at my Grandma and Grandpa Pippenger's house in Englewood, Ohio. Grandma, Grandpa, and I were out on the back patio, and Grandpa was grilling some buffalo wings. Then, all of a sudden we hear a series of loud splats landing on the corner of the patio, getting on Grandpa's grill, and going across the conopy and ending abruptly in the center of the conopy. Grandma says, "What in the world? Jim, what was that?" After further inspection we discover that the splats are about a silver dollar big, and , after I (the adventerous one) smelled them, we knew that they were splats of human shit! We brought my mum out to conferm what I smelled and she agreed that we had been bombed by human shit (mum would know, she wiped butt in a nursing home). Grandpa called the police because the shit must have been dumped by an airplane since it hit so hard, and it's a bit illegal to dump shit where ever you please. They sent a cop over and he didn't know what the hell to do because he'd never seen anything like this (Jee, really?!). So Grandpa decided to scrap some of the butt muffin juice off his patio and put it in a container for the Department of Health to study and to conferm that it was what we thought. You know how I told you that it landed on the grill?? Well, we guessed that the crap didn't get in our food and ate the buffalo wings, so if you hear of a family dying of shit, it will probably be mine!
Other than the shit thing, nothing else interesting has happened today. I'll keep you posted.
6/28/99 Well, yesterday I saw The Red Violin. What a cool movie!! I mean, to enjoy it you have to like mystery and music. It isn't one of those action movies, but it's so...intense! Alright, enough about red violins. I added a picture of myself up here. It's a bit old, but it'll have to do. My pictures from the rafting trip were developed so I'll pick them up later today (it's 1:06 A.M., drug store doesn't open till 9 A.M.). Then I'll create a picture page. Yeap. Hey!! Everyone who has Yahoo Pager raise your hand! If you don't have it download it because you can talk-chat instead of typing everything! If you have a microphone then you can hold down the talk button on the chat screen and talk into the mic to the people you're chatting with! Cool beans eh?
6/29/99 Here's an up-date on what my desk looks like. More Diet Coke cans, and if you look closely you can see my cockatiel, Levon, in the picture. Nifty eh? The new and cool beanish back ground is *gasp* my face!!
7/6/99
Yes, it's my mum's B-day and my good friend Meghan's B-day. Kudos to them!! Anyone in the mood for bathroom humor?? Well, I'm creating a Puke and Poop page at this very instant! "What about the rafting pictures?!" you ask? Well,they are all uploaded and everything, I just need time to put them up. So the Puke and Poop page and the Rafting Pictures will be up shortly, I promise!
1:30 A.M. ~~ Just added the Puke and Poop page. Go to it and you will be forever soiled...
7/7/99 Uh, I have nothing to Up-date about. Rafting is not up yet but Poop and Puke is. Look folks, a major heat wave has hit Ohio. I live in an old old old house that doesn't have centeral air. Infact the only room with air conditioning is the living room. The upstairs (where my room and my lap top and all my disks are located) is an oven. It is stiffeling hot and if I get too hot I faint. Not very pretty. So I'm doing all my up-dates on the downstairs computer and I'm sleeping on the love seat in the living room, my mum and youngest brother share the couch, and my older brother Aaron is on the floor. So life isn't all the great here in the cheesy hick village. Actually, right now life sucks. But, to make a point, all the stuff I need to make my rafting page is upstairs and I don't feel like retreaving it right now at 12:09 A.M. I'm sure you'll live.
7/12/99 Well, life has been...un-eventful. I added the Rafting page, FINALLY!! And I up dated the Poop and Puke page.
7/19/99 Been a while hasn't it? Yeap, put up new Calvin and Hobbes, new pic of me desk. And do you know how hard it was to get a picture of my wrists?! But that's them. I wear lots of jewelry, incase you haven't figured that out yet... On the Puke and Poop page, the Stool Signs page will not be up-dated until I find the artical that I was going to copy them out of...sorry...
7/26/99 Looks like Pecan Pip has learned how to change her fonts! Yeap, I haven't gotten around to converting all the fonts yet, but I'll be working on that. I shall also be adding more poems and I found the Stool Signs list! Yippie!! I might be moving very very soon...as in 3 weeks if my mum's friend can get a loan approved to put an offer on the house, but when we move I'll be disconnected from the internet for...perhaps a month...GOD FORBID!!! I think I'll make some friends with computers really quickly!
7/29/99 Damn, I'm listening to Christmas music in JULY!!! Weird... Uh, new picture of me. OH la la! And new picture of Orion, he is probably sold, we got a phone call this evening. Uh, the "spankin new!" background is my writing. It is a poem that is called, "The Sequal To Untitled!" because that's what it is. It shall be on the Poem page very very very sooonnn.
8/3/99 Wow, August already. The summer flew by. Sold Orion today... New poems! New pictures! New list (stool signs)! Yeap yeap. Also I posted the Origonal Shadow of a Dream. It's on the songs page. Gets a bit weird... Oh yeah! AND I put new information on the me Me ME page! It maynot look up-dated at first, but believe you me, it is...I just spent 45 minutes on it!
8/7/99 Hey! Look at the bottom of the page! I added Tina the Troubled Teen, the Weather in Hell, and others!! Check it out!
8/8/99 Hey, five new poems! One new song! All worth seeing, of course!
8/9/99 Well, there's the five new poems and now there's two new songs!! Yes, and The Preble County Thing is brand new, I just wrote it today! It's sooo funny!!!! You've got to read it!!! Siesta Key is a song I just found that I wrote last Spring Break. So...that's that.
8/15/99 Well, it's almost a definate "yes" that I'm leaving Ohio on the 20th (next Friday!) and driving to Florida... So I am doing some mad packing. All my writings are packed and I'm getting ready to pack all my disks, mum sold the digital camara (BAD MUM!) so there probably will not be anymore up-dates for quite sometime...I shall try to keep you peoples posted and what is happeing and all that good stuff. AND! IF ANYONE LIVES IN SARASOTA AND ATTENDS SARASOTA HIGH SCHOOL\ OR RIVERVIEW HIGH SCHOOL PLEASE E-MAIL ME!!!!
10/30/99 I'm back! I'm in Florida! The Sun Shine State, The Lightning Capitol of the World is now where I live. It still hasn't sunk in yet...I can not believe that Halloween is tomorrow!! I'm wearing my gourd hat and cape. Oh la la eh? I'll take pictures. I'm creating a seperate page to update you people on what I have been doing since I got here...and I shall tell you of the drive here and what happened during that. This page may take a while to get up here. I don't have any free time because my teachers are ruthless and evil martinets!!!
10/31/99 Yes, I am the Gourd Queen once again, wearing my gourd hat that I made last Halloween. Have fun everyone!!! PARTY ON!
HERE IT IS~!~ GOURD QUEEN 99!!!!
11/7/99 Well, I don't have much time at all to update, but I shall start working on the webpage about the move down here ASAP! I just got back some more pictures of the move, so they shall be scanned and added...just have patients!
To the Tacky Shack!
Wanna read some poems?? Huh, huh?? Do ya do ya??
Ahh, a intricate weaving of poetry and music.
