I’m Home! May 11, 2008
Foolishness , 3 comments by Clare, Chuck, and Nyna.Whew! Back from Wordstock and I’m totally exhausted! We just drove for nine hours and I haven’t slept in five days. It was soooooo awesome though, the spirit was so strong and all the bands were incredible — my neck is so sore from all that moshing and I lost two toenails playing soccer but it was just totally awesome. It was great seeing all my old friends and I MISS YOU ALL already! I have tons of pics to post, but gotta go sleep. Here’s one pic of me and Big Name Musician.
Tradition dictates that around this time of year, someone must make this type of post on their blog, so regardless of whether or not Wordstock actually happened, by the grace of God I was determined to be that man. P.S. Marky, would you believe that this is one of the only two photos that exists of the two of us? We should take more if we’re to be married. I promise to make you mine just as soon as I’ve made my fortune. You’ll wait for me, won’t you?

Foolishness , 5 comments by Maya, Julie (smith), Nyna, and GOB.Here’s something to waste your time and my bandwidth (yes, this is a timewaster. You’ve been warned!) until I Chuck and I can agree on which photos we’re posting. Entertainment is limited when there’s few electronics and even less electricity for miles and miles and miles in any direction. We had to create our own. The children featured in this video were regarding us with terror until we told them we were from Germany. For some reason that seemed to clear everything up because they nodded and smiled at each other and said “Ahhhh….Germany!”
This is for you, Mike. April 25, 2008

Tattoos April 1, 2008
Foolishness , 12 comments by Crystal, Jeremy, Miss B, Niki, Leilani, Chuck, Steph, Mike, Andy, Nyna, and F|35h.Well, we did it! This is something we’ve both wanted to do for a long time and we finally did it after confirming it with the Lord one more time. We realize tattoos are a little controversial, but the Lord showed us that we can really witness with these and use them for His glory. We each had our individual reasons for why we picked the twin that we did, and here’s why:
From Chuck: King Kenji Onlyism. That’s right, I like it. Thankfully it is now thoroughly entrenched within my epidermis and down into the relevantly dermis layer of skinal factions. If you’re educated in the field of King Kenji Onlyism and you feel that I have somehow misrepresented the true foundation of our movement, just ask about it in the comments as it will most likely stem from the simplification that his perfectly chiseled features had to undergo in order to present them in this format, rather than actual error on my part. Although, that too is possible.
From Jules: While I’m firmly against the filtering of artistic expression or the exercising of cognitive dissonance, I believe that some imagery just isn’t worth not getting inked on oneself. It’s not that I think a person would be stumbled by it. For if you had any reasonable basis for your love for Jeremy, it would take more than a little tattoo to stumble you. That aside though, I think that this is a great tattoo, and if getting Jeremy’s face inked on your back brings about such expressions, then keep doing it. The results speak for themselves in this case I think.

Dear Dan… March 8, 2008
Foolishness , 4 comments by Claire, Angie, Clara, and Gigi.We don’t know how to say this, but we both felt strongly that we want you to know how we feel about you. It’s hard to say these things to your face sometimes because you intimidate us with your man vibes (but this is through no fault of your own, we think your man vibes are awesome. Please don’t stop). Angel and I want you to know a fundamental truth that is shared equally between us.
We think you’re totally awesome!
Angel is afraid to let you know this because she’s afraid of rejection. I’m afraid to tell you because I just don’t know how to put it into words. Everyone else knows how we feel about you, and together, we have built up the courage to finally tell you to your….well, face. We’re both afraid of how you will react, please don’t stop acting normal around us. Please continue to be your normal and awesome self, it’s just that…..to us, you are perfect. And we will love you until the hair no longer grows on your lovable face.
Much love,
Jules and Angel

Who am I?

How to Hug Jules and Chuck (by Chuck) January 8, 2008
Foolishness , 19 comments by Gabe, Andy, Amber, ZERO, Chuck, GeoMicPri, Kelsey Sibaquo, Maria, Anita, Luca, Angie, and Leila.You know, like “How to Be Happy Anyhow” except cooler and without the English accent. (what?)
So there’s a dilemma that people like myself and Jules face daily. Especially since we are in a “hug cult” (really that would be more truthful than “sex cult” seeing as…well…THERE IS NO SEX!!!!! WHERE IS ALL THE SEX???? in the name of all that is holy…..)
So saying that - we feel that what we have to say is vital to our being able to survive this said “Hug cult”
You see - we get hugged a lot. As most likely you do as well. Except. Well. You’re either a short female - or a male.
If you are a male - there is never any problem. Your chest area is clear of objects of desire which unwittingly get shoved in other peoples happy smiling faces.
If you are a short woman well - there should be no problem. Good on you.
So where were we.
Ah yes - the objects of desire. I mean - I don’t desire them. but I like to think they are DESIRED by OTHERS. *hint*
So here’s what usually happens.
You’re in a room. There might be people, there might not - it doesn’t matter. All that matters is you know at some point your eyes will lock with another’s and you will immediately see them start to flinch in a “do I need to hug them?” sort of flinch. You can tell when someone feels they need to do this to you, you can see their hug muscles starting to go into gear (as a bonifide “hug cult” member, I can spot this from miles). So you both start towards each other - knowing that you must engage in your Christian duty of the required frontal contact.
As a tall women, you know that this can only end in sorrow and you feel the devastation that is ahead. You feel sorry, mostly for the unwitting person that is pursuing their God given duty to hug.
They just don’t know what their getting into.
This scenario can only end in these following ways.
1. You are much shorter than us - so short in fact that the top of your head fits nicely under our breasts. This, while not TOO awful can be a little unnerving as the next time I see you across the room I’ll be thinking “ah - there goes my favorite boob shelf”. I don’t feel too bad about this, as mostly I giggle, but I hope you never find out.
oops.
2. You are short. Not boob shelf short but something much, much worse. You’re a boob nestler. Yes - thats right - my boobs become the pillow in which you NESTLE your furry little head. And while I actually don’t mind this happening (what else do I use them for anyway? See above for the “WHERE IS ALL THE SEX” part)- I know that for you it can be horribly awkward. The good news is - I have a way out for you, which I’ll explain later. (BTW, the banner of this blog has some excellent “boob nestler” shots for your reference)
3. You. well. Lets just say, that I know the top of your head, better than the back of my hand. I know what shampoo you use, and when you switch products. Why? Because you’re just about tall enough to fit right under my nose. Thats right - you’re a nose shelf. I’m still struggling with if this is better than the previously stated shelf. Let me know what you think.
4. You’re just my height. So much just my height in fact that we meet, with arms outspread, and never actually get to complete the hug stance because our arms clash in mid air. Which usually becomes the much desired arm flapping dance. First, I move my arms up - so do you - no go there, so one of us moves our arms down - so does the other one, once again we’re trapped. Back and forth we go until someone begins to go diagonal into the pretzel hug. This really, is our only hope. If you are anywhere near my height please approach me with your arms in this manner: “left arm” at 2:00 and “right arm” at 8:00. Please practice in the nearest mirror. This would mean a lot to me. I will know what your intentions towards me are if I see you approach in this stance and will respond with my matching yet polar opposite “10:00 and 4:00″ stance. Thank you. This will make the world a better place.
5. If you are taller than me…then well…you’re taller than me. In which case, if you are a male then please…
…MARRY ME AND HAVE LOTS OF SEX AND BABIES!! (with me)
As for the rest of you - it may feel that there is no hope. But do not despair. All we have to do is come to grips with our lot in life and instead of run from it we must embrace it! (pun intended)
I propose a secret code. If you approach me and tell me that I’m both compelling AND rich - then I’ll hug you with such pizzaz and fervor that all awkwardness over your height and my height will be shelved (heh, heh) We’ll know that there is no perfect hug, but it won’t matter because we are in a HUGGING CULT and we LOVE IT.
Amen?
Okay so I know this isn’t really a SOLUTION, but at least I will know that you know that I know that you know that we BOTH know - which means I’ll be able to sleep better at night.
