Scattered Abroad
This blog seemed to have seen a very short life span, as no one has posted on here since March...But I will break that silence among us!
The Tennessee girls have been scattered abroad....
well most of us anyways, there are still two stragglers on the north american continent, which I hope to convince at least 1 to move on to Australia or Africa, as then we will have 1 of us on almost all of the continents, but alas I don't see that happening any time soon as they seem pretty happy where they are right now.
Well this Tennessee girl made it all the way to South America safely, and loves it here, she misses her friends sorely and wishes for some sort of reunion...but somehow she doesn't see that happening either for a long time...perhaps she's just a pessimist.
Speaking of reunion...when was the last time we were all together in one place? Wasn't it right before Boo left us to go all the way to Cali? Or perhaps one of the Wordstocks after that...I don't remember sadly, which must mean it was very long ago, and we need to change that.
Walking down memory lane...Do you remember the gypsy dances we had in the field outside our house?
The crazy adventures we'd find ourselves on, how we didn't care what the world thought of us, the huge bakings we would do during Christmas, and all the weight we would gain.
Do you remember going on that crazy work out and diet spree, and how I wouldn't lend you money to break your diet and eat at devilish McDonalds so you chased me around the store impishly, and how afterwards you had to punish yourselves by working out even more...did that workout even do anything for us? I don't remember...
Do you remember our late night talks, debates, arguments...whatever you want to call it, and how we always amused ourselves with the thought that if anyone was listening in on us, they wouldn't understand half of what we were saying, or thought us completely insane.
Do you remember walking 6 miles at 3 in the morning and returning to the tent at 6am right when the sun was beginning to rise? Going over to Rosie's house and practicing our dances, and thinking she was an ogre (sorry Rosie...I don't think that about you now, but you were so mean sometimes, hehe, I love you!) and jumping at any chance we could find to take a break, even if for a few minutes.
Do you remember practicing in our tiny eeny weeny living room and how the house would shake, and the look on our visitors faces when we rehearsed our dance for them in that tiny livingroom and that they spent the majority of the time watching the floor bounce up and down rather than how our dance looked.
Do you remember competing against each other on the dance machine and how 'kewl' we thought we were at it.
Do you remember our silly 'Pantyholics Anonymous' sessions we would hold on the floor of the underwears section of walmart...
Do you remember...so much more, and how weird we were?
I think back, and I smile, laugh, giggle, and no one knows why, except me, because, I'm about 8,000 miles away or so from any of you now and miss you...
I hope all of you are happy where you have found yourselves to be, because I am happy where I am at now, and I don't want to be the only one that feels that wayLabels: remember

Hah! Pantyholics Anonymous! I totally forgot about that!
Actually I'd forgotten about most of the things you'd mentioned in your post. Well, not forgotten entirely, just pushed to a place in my mind that I don't have time to really think about much anymore...
I miss all you girls! Praying for you. xoxo!
Super awesome post, Lei, brought back memories of things I haven't thought about in ages! Times have changed and sometimes it seems we live in different worlds...we're all in different countries anyway! Mexico, U.S., Chile, Romania, and The Philippines. Whoo hoo, we're traveling the world.
I miss you all and love you lots and lots.
