Drama is slow this year, therefore, I suggested to Jules and Andrea that I hit on some girl that I know has a boyfriend, then write his mom a nasty note.
Consensus is with me: it probably would create some amount of drama.
The question is, which girl?
The poll is open, and no it will not be Andrea because Geoff is exempt, due to Article V Section 2
"And all people who have posted on the 'Webpage o' Drama' are exempt from being subject to Bish's devious and maniacal schemes."
But when did Geoff post...? Sorry bro, I blew your cover.

Hiya dears!
I hope everyone's first week of classes went well! :) Mine are so far, so good, even though anatomy is going to both kick my butt and make me throw up (anyone want to go to my cadaver lab for me every week?). And apartment life is def. different!! Don't get me wrong-- i love havin' my own room, and sharing a bathroom with only one other person, and living in an area bigger than a box, but I must admit I miss seein' lots of people at all hours of the night like dorm life allows you. But andrea is awesome and so is our place, and if any of you haven't seen it yet, COME OVER!!! :)
Anywho, interesting post Bish and very well put, I might add. It is so strange to look back on your life, especially the not-so-distant pass and see how much you have grown. Things that once seemed so important no longer have that great of an effect on your life, and vice versa: other things so much greater take precedence. It's kinda scary to see how things can change in such a short period of time! Cool, but nonetheless, scary. But anyways, it was cool seeing the "old" and "current" Bish come together, and you guys and your stories were quite entertaining. Other than that, all i must say for this past week is: yay for frisbee in the rain!!! hehe!! have a good day my dears!! ~Julie

Hey loyal drama fans!
/start/ third person
Drama's low for the moment, although the addition of Bish's good friend Drew into his social network is a bit interesting. Bish thinks it's a little weird when the worlds collide, as shown by the interesting conversation held on Friday night with Julie and Drew. Bish remembers that Julie couldn't think of that many things that Bish had done stupidly, whereas all Drew's memories of Bish (or the majority of them) were of him doing completely random and stupid things. Highschool is over, but Drew is a taste of highschool again for Bish. It's quite interesting to say the least.
/end/ third person
Julie got to see a new side of me, that's for sure, as Drew and I talked about a crazy chess game that resembled a "Fried Liver Attack" and a King's Gambit. Yes, that's right, you just read the words fried liver attack. It makes sense if you know chess..... but the fact of the matter is Julie probably felt completely out of place. Not that it's anyone's fault, it's just the interesting situation that comes as a result of the circumstance.
The circumstance is that basically I am a completely different than who I was 3 years ago in high school. Sure, I like the same things, retain my chess ability (to some degree) and I'm still hopeless when it comes to dancing. But most other things about me have completely gone by the wayside. I'm not going to give a list of things that have changed about me since I hit college (it would take a few days), but I didn't fully realize how much different I am now than who I was then. And I'm happier now than I was then, much happier. It's kinda weird really, considering that as a result of growing in my relationship with God, I gave up a lot of things that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's funny how not doing what you think makes you happy actually leads to greater happiness. I realize now the immense incapacity that I have to shape my own life into something that is good! As I sought to be an awesome person in the eyes of my friends, family, and even myself, I failed over and over again. I had good grades and ambition, a sweet and attractive girlfriend that my family liked, and I didn't do horrible things. Switch to now. I am gonna end up a chem teacher (?) or something else like that. I'm single, even lonely in the eyes of most people. I spend less time playing video games, and much less time doing the things I thought were good for me. I get less sleep. I do more homework. I read more. I try to serve others even if it takes massive quantities of my time. But the weird thing is that as I do less things for my personal enjoyment, my personal enjoyment increases.
That's the difference between the me that Drew knows and and the me Julie knows. Hanging out with them both simultaneously made me realize the STARK contrast between who I was and who I am. Someone could say it comes with maturity, but I don't even think that time or maturity is what has caused it. Something else has caused it... I'm gonna stop ranting but if you wanna know I can share it with you in 4 simple points. ; )
So, maybe that sounds a bit dramatic but I think it's more accurate than dramatic. However, there's a piece of drama in there somewhere that makes it qualify for the webpage. Welcome to the 'webpage of drama.'
Peace out everybody.

Bish points... ahhhhhh....... I remember that.
I haven't been thinking about hooking up Jason with a blind date, but if I find a good girl to do it I'll go ahead and start awarding him Bish points for every day stuff, like putting on his shoes, saying hi to me in the halls, and breathing. Then I'll have the perfect excuse to reward his good behavior. But as of now there's no girl I know that's a good match with Jason, so we'll wait it out.
Bish points, what a novel idea. However, I think that the real issue here is whether I want to take responsibility for setting two people up. That's scary stuff! If the two don't like each other, it's just a big problem all around. And I don't want to let anyone down.
So the Bish points will be coming slowly... but maybe I'll give you a quarter a Bish point for playing awesome in ultimate tonight.
Yep, now you can say you're at 1.25. Don't hold your breath for more.
Talk to you later everyone!

Well, everybody...
So, I am completely unpacked... Finally, I hooked up my speakers, and scanner today, which were the last remaining items. But, I also hung up a little poster from Bish. I got this item last year following one of my posts. It awards me "One Bish Point." So, it is this poster that motivates me to post. "Why?" you might ask. What's the big deal with Bish Points? I mean, it seems like everybody is "Bish's Hero" at one point or another, right? But, the key to Bish Points are explained at the bottom of this poster. It promises, upon the collection and submission of 10 bish points, the "hook-up" for a blind date. So, if that isn't motivation enough to post... you just have to think about the girls Bish knows. They're all beautiful, but beauty only runs skin-deep, which is the best thing about the girls Bish knows, they are deeper. They're better than just looks, of all the girls I've met (through Bish), they're all smart and strong and... just... well, enough about that.
Kudos to the CRU girls. The year's lookin' good based on Tuesday night.

Hello hello my dears!!
And we are finally all back in Champaign/Urbana!!! YAYYYYYYYYY!!! :) Sorry for not posting too much this summer--crazy busy with work, and thankfully, a limited amount of drama! So yay for that!! But I am excited for this year, and for the blog!!! hehe! Finally settled in my new apartment, (which, I must add, if you have not visited, you MUST!!, and if you have, COME AGAIN!! :) ) Definintely a huge change from the dorms, but I do love having my own room, not too mention my own bathroom! But yeah...not too much to say so far-- I have had a crazy last couple of days, geting settled in, working, meeting some new fun people, and catching up with those who i haven't seen all summer. And I still haven't seen all of you. Hopefully that won't last too long. But I have gotten certified in rock climbing and working a zip line, which is totally awesome and you guys should all try! But that's about it for now my dears--post soon!! ~Julie

Hey all!
Bish, I'm sorry that WoD:SE ended up sucking. I really had nothing to post, well, high school level drama at the most. It was pretty sad, but I guess I'm grateful in the end.
So, yeah... Webpage o' Drama... Let's see, Oh yeah! I took Jake's lovely sister out to a movie while the big guy was moving down here! Heh! (If I am found dead in the morning, and it looks like an accident... it probably wasn't!)
That should be enough drama to cover this post.
Look forward to catching up with everybody soon!

Hey everyone!
Interesting times from Bish: after being in town all day, I realized that as I went to find Jake, Tom, and company that actually they were no where to be found. Understandable, although between PAR, LAR, and Chris I'd be able to figure out where the I guides were going to. However, they are nowhere to be found.
So, I decided to take a trip to see Becky, because she's an RA in Snyder. I know where Snyder is. But she's not there. So I leave a message on the whiteboard and go to LAR. The group's not there either. So I go to where I'll be sleeping tonight and the door's locked... and no one answers when I knock. I have no cell phone and absolutely no idea where anyone else lives.
LOL!
So now I'm sitting in the PAR computer lounge trying to figure out some kinda online AOL thing (I think I saw it before) but I can't find it on the net, since I don't know what it's called. So I figured I'd post to the blog and this is what I thought of first. So everyone, I need your new addresses pronto!
It sucks to have wasted a night that I wanted to spend catching up with friends, but hey, it's actually pretty humorous if you think about it. I'm just getting really tired and I hope that I can go to sleep whenever I go back.
Everyone! May the new school year's postings begin!

Alright folks. I am officially ending World of Drama: Summer Edition (WoD:SE) because, quite frankly, it sucked. That's not bad, because a lack of drama is always welcome in my world, not to mention the fact that I didn't have a computer for 10 weeks and Jules and Jason were, like everyone else I suppose, busy with much more important things than this website. I look forward to an exciting fun year in which this blog can be packed out with all the goings-on.
To start the reinstatement of the oldschool, good, fun-loving (and never non-controversial) webpage o' drama, I would like to advise everyone: don't get pregnant. Better, don't get someone pregnant. Better yet even: don't get people pregnant and break up with them, only to find out eight months later that they are pregnant.
I imagine that will ruin your day. Good luck Ryan!
And on that note, I would also like to point your eyes towards the updating of the Blaisdell 1 webpage that will, before too long, certainly be the Blaisdell 4 webpage. I expect Michael will do a sweet job updating that site.
I'm off to go and get my ROAD SIGN (this town is weird... putting my names on signs and stuff) and then I'm gonna buy a bike pump. Then, I'm going to pack everything except tomorrow and Saturday's clothes. I'm sure I'll forget half of it, but that's ok, because at this point in my life I'm used to it.
So guys, bring extra hygiene stuff cuz I'm sure I'll leave my toothbrush.
Peace everyone!

Hey folks.
I'm finally back from Project. It was an amazing summer too huge to be adequately summarized in a post. Just know that God is amazing and worked in my life in about a bazillion different ways, most of which I'm sure I don't even know about yet. woot woot for God yo!
Since this is the "Webpage o' Drama" I should post about drama. But really, there is very little. I'm sure drama will unfold over the course of the next school year, and we'll all be here waiting to share it when it happens.
I'll see you all in a couple of weeks!
