    <content type="html">&lt;strong&gt;Johnny&lt;/strong&gt;: Nobody puts Baby in a corner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Baby&lt;/strong&gt;: I carried a watermelon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Johnny&lt;/strong&gt;: just put your pickle on everybody's plate college boy and leave the hard stuff to me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Baby&lt;/strong&gt;: Have you had many women? &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Johnny&lt;/strong&gt;: What? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Johnny&lt;/strong&gt;: I mean I never knew women could be like that, you know? And their so rich, they're so goddam rich, you think they must know about everything. And they're slipping their room keys in my hands, two and three times day, different women. So here I think I'm scoring big and for a while you think hey they wouldn't be doing this if they didn't care about me, right. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Baby&lt;/strong&gt;: That's alright, I understand you were just using them that's all &lt;br /&gt; [&lt;em class="fine"&gt;looks depressed&lt;/em&gt;] &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Johnny&lt;/strong&gt;: No, no that's not it that's the thing see baby it wasn't like that, they were using me &lt;br /&gt; [&lt;em class="fine"&gt;Baby kisses him and they fall back on to the bed&lt;/em&gt;] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Johnny&lt;/strong&gt;: What's your real name, Baby? &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Baby&lt;/strong&gt;: Francis. For the first woman in the cabinet. &lt;br /&gt; [&lt;em class="fine"&gt;Laughs&lt;/em&gt;] &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Johnny&lt;/strong&gt;: Francis. That's a real grown up name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Johnny Castle&lt;/strong&gt;: I'm gonna do my kind of dancin' with a great partner, who's not only a terrific dancer; somebody who's taught me that there are people willing to stand up for other people no matter what it costs them; somebody who's taught me about the kind of person I wanna be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jake Houseman&lt;/strong&gt;: This is not a tragedy. A tragedy is three men trapped in a mine or police dogs used in Birmingham. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Baby&lt;/strong&gt;: Monks burning themselves in protest. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Lisa&lt;/strong&gt;: Butt out Baby. &lt;br /&gt;(haha i dont remember this part...but i thought it was funny)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0697014/"&gt;Neil Kellerman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: I have to say it. I'm known as the catch of the county.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000426/"&gt;Baby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: I'm sure you are.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0697014/"&gt;Neil Kellerman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: Just last week, I stole a girl from Jamie, the lifeguard, and he asked her, right in front of me, "What does he have that I don't?" And she said, "Two hotels."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0115663/"&gt;Lisa Houseman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: I've decided to go all the way with Robbie.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000426/"&gt;Baby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: No, Lisa, not with someone like him.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0115663/"&gt;Lisa Houseman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: Do you think if we came back for a ten-year anniversary, it would be free?  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000426/"&gt;Baby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: It's just wrong this way. It should be with someone... someone that you sort of love.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0115663/"&gt;Lisa Houseman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: Come on. You don't care about me. You wouldn't care if I humped the entire army... as long as we were on the right side Ho chi Minh Trail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hahah. oh man. some GREAT quotes from dirty dancing. gotta love it. these are just a few..my favorite ones lol.</content>

    <content type="html">hey! i know it's been forever huh? well...this week has been quite interesting. sunday was a very good day. went to church...stayed two services..then went to faythe n ryan's afterwards for the "faythe, tina, willy, matty" party. three birthdays and graduation. it was lots of fun. i enjoyed myself. (ps. my dad just came home and really aggrivated me)...but that's besides the point...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then, monday i worked 1:30-5:30...prob one of the easiest shifts ever. lpiddy and Gpiddy came in...bought some stuff..came thru my line. it was awesome. they invited me over for dinner..very appreciated. so after work, i went home..changed and headed over to the piddy's. ate some food..mm..then me n linds tried to go play tennis at cushman..but unfortunately all hte courts were taken...kind of. hah. so we decided to go over to the fort...we weren't so hot that night. so we only played for like a half hour. then we called up our boy kevin! we got there..went on the trampoline for a few..then inside and listened to some hot music. played this game..can't remember the name..outburst i think it was...then watched SPICE WORLD! well..some of it bc we put it in kind of late. but that's possibly one of the best movies ever created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tuesday..was AWESOME! i got up around 9ish...dr's appt at 10...blah...then called up lpiddy again. we were gonna just hang around by the pool or soemthing..but she wanted to go somewehre..have an adventure ya kno? so...we figured some stuff out..and decided to go to NEWPORT! i figured that would be easiest since my sister works there and basically lives there for like four days out of the week...so that worked out quite nicely since she knows where like everything is. then...when we got there..we met up with mah sista...and she showed us wehre the shops were n stuff...then after a while she had to go..so me n lpiddy stayed at this really nice spot overlooking the water with sailboats n stuff...it was SOOO nice. beauuutiful...love it. took some nice pictures. one where we looked like we were gonna kill someone haha..not intentionally though =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so we stayed there for a good hour i believe..did some ppl watching haha. some interesting ppl i might add...&lt;br /&gt;then we got hungry..so we went to panera...but um it was likea whole family of ppl that didnt know how to speak english.i really thought we had gone to another country..the girl took forever trying to get my order! and she didnt even get it right!!!!!!!!!!! grrr! i had asked for no mustard on my chicken salad sandwich, bc that's nasty...so she put no spicy mustard..but on the other slip it said..no spicy message...therefore my sandwich had mustard on it. and i didnt get my chips! darnit!...oh well...but we ate outside..and that was nice.lindsey fed some little birdies. afterwards we found the coolest little shop! i wanted everything. but i settled for two things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;got some ice cream...and left...we are def going back there....&lt;br /&gt;then it was time for TNB...which we thought no one was coming..but it ended up being an "almost" full house...we had...me, lindsey, adam, rusty, and beno! spectacular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;flarp was the highlight of the night.hahahha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now wednesday...quite amusing...got up..was gonna just clean the room or something. just hang around...but i ended up going over to mr. rocks house. did&amp;nbsp; some errands with him...bank, kmart, home, bank bc he forgot his wallet. haha. circuit city..i mean..radio shack! lol...then back to his house..pool....and then lindsey. hungout till 5ish..then i had church...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after church...chris had the nice idea of stealing a street sign..so of course me n lindsey were down. haha...so he picks up lindsey, then me...and we go take pics of street signs...for the bolts? yah...then we stop at the debalsi's fora ladder.."hey do you have a two foot ladder i could borrow?"...oh man...so at the top of their street chris gets out with his flashlight headgear...adn the stepstool thing..and across teh street there's this guy that's watching him...so he goes back in and then comes back out! with a flashlight! wicked bright ..like who does that...? so wierd...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so we decided that wasnt' such a good idea anymore, so we went to the fort instead. talked about stealing a trash can. haha. then we were hungry..so we went to mcdonalds..chris paid.thankyou. never eaten that fast in my life. then it was like 11:45 so we dropped off lindsey..and hten chris dropped me off...the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now its thursday..and i'm doing absolutely nothing...i have to work at 4...which sucks...but it's only till 8..so thats no big deal..4 hrs..piece of cake! justhope they dont ask me to stay longer...i'll decline of course. i need to take a shower. hmm..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;very lazy today. not really liking it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tomorrow&amp;nbsp; i'm working 1:30-6...might do something with crystal and matty..not sure yet htough...then sat is the worst...work 10-4:30..basically my whole day..hope its crappy out haha. jk...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;okay. so i hope this entry was interesting enough for you. ;)&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;there you go.&lt;br /&gt;lauren*</content>

    <content type="html">I'll tell you flat out: It hurts so much to think of this: so from my thoughts i will exclude: The very thing that : I hate more then everything is: The way i'm powerless: To dictate my own moods&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've thrown away: So many things that could've been much more: And i just pray: My problems go away if they're ignored: But that's not the way it works: No that's not the way it works&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When i go down: I go down hard: And i take everything that i've learned: And i teach myself some diregard When i go down:: It hurts to hit the bottom:And of the things that got me there: I think, if only i had fought them&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If and when i can: Clear myself of this clouded mind: I'll watch myself settle down: Into a place where Peace can search me out and find : That i'm so ready to be found&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've thrown away: The hope i had in friendships: I've thrown away: So many things that could have been so much more: I've thrown away: The secret to find an end to this: And i just pray: My problems go away if they're ignored: But that's not the way it works: No that's not the way it works&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any control i thought i had just slips right through my hand: While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me: Reprimands me: Then and there: I confess:: I'll blame all this on my selfishness: Yet you love me: And that consumes me: And i'll stand up again: And do so willingly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You give me hope, and hope it gives me life: You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light: As i exhale i hear your voice: And i answer you, though i hardly make a noise: And from my lips the words i choose to say: Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise: Because i love you: Oh God, I love you: And life is now worth living: If only because of you:And when they say i'm dead and gone it won't be further from the truth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When i go down: I lift my eyes to  you: I won't look very far: Cause you'll be there: With open arms to lift me up again:To lift me up again</content>

computer talking to random ppl because they went in a chat room..yah

guys that imed her afterwards, and jaime kept coming out with these
random sayings so i get up and get a notebook to write teh funny stuff
down...bc i knew i would prob forget lol...then i end up going over to
her&amp;nbsp; bed and then i end up typing..i was being mean though..if a
person imed her i said "GO AWAY!" lol she had like 3 ppl im her
everytime i was trying to type something, it was pretty annoying...but
ne ways...so its liek 3 am...and we had nothing else to do so we go
where? oh DUNKIN DONUTS! of course! almost like die bc the roads had
like a sheet of ice/frost/ w/e it was! but then we get back, i eat my
bagel mmm! and we put in none other than NEVER BEEN KISSED! yay! but
obviously i fall asleep before it like even starts lol, i guess i was
really tired! and then this morning well i woke up at liek 9, and jaime
left a note for me, bc she left at like 7, crazy girl!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

keep those in our memory, bc what's the point right? right! no reason
to hold grudges, just good memories! there's def been some times where
i couldn't stop laughing, and well, as much as i love going home, i am
going to miss this place for a whole month! it's gonna be wierd,
especially not being on the computer all the time lol, but everything
the "freedom", the random nights staying up until like who

katie fallin on the day of my chem final!!! that was pretty hillarious!
late night girl talks...random stuff that comes out of jaimes mouth, my
lovely dancing ( eveyrone loves it ) lol, so yah thats just a few,and
i'm def gonna miss it...but good thing we come back..and next semester,
well is not gonna be the same ( with my grades) bc i am not failing or
doing poorly on anything..i will not let myself.i hate getting bad
grades! so yah&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;so off we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so excited! we're drivin we're drivin we're drivin...and we're drivin! we get to exit 20 (but it was an exit on the left so i didnt really know where&amp;nbsp;it was, plus it was a little dark by that point) and we swerve and i&amp;nbsp;almost&amp;nbsp;had a heart attack! i really thought my car was gonna tip over, but luckily we didn't!) so the trip&amp;nbsp;took about oh, 2 1/2 hrs i think! not that bad..BUT as we get offthe last exit we get a little lost. so we're driving around and we're like alright we have no idea where we are lol..so we stop at RITE AID to ask for directions...little did we know that ppl in connecticut don't know how tospeak! so we ask this lady named Kristine ( i think )&amp;nbsp; for directions and she's like oh ohh..welll wehre exactly are you going and what not..and then she like stutters or something,and we tell her the Chevrolet theatre and she goes "oh well thats a truck!" and were like OH GREAT! lol...i'm tellin you this lady was like...idk maybe on drugs or something!? coudln't tell! but oddly enough her directions were great and we found the place!!! WOOPIE! but then...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;oh yah u guessed it, we're surrounded by the OLDIES! not even kidding you. it was like 80 yr olds in every car haha...no there were some young ppl...but when we go in to find our seats , we are like def surrounded by all the old ppl! it was hillarious! so the opening act was going on, and he was actually really good! he was a pianist, and jeesh could he play! it seriously looked like he had 10 hands at one point lol! THEN, it was time for CLAY AIKEN! i was soooo pumped! the only thing i didnt really like about hte&amp;nbsp; concert was that he hada skit goin along with it, it wasnt just a reg concert, i mean it wasnt like horrible, just different. but i have to let it be known that&amp;nbsp; clay has magical powers, no lie. he would just make a motion with his hand and BADDA BING magic! it was amazing!=)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and his finale song was absolutely wonderful! took my breath away! ah! love clay!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so some &lt;strong&gt;highlights&lt;/strong&gt; about this trip with my love lindsey!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
