What … Is This? If you’re like my brother and me, you love old-timey computer games almost more than the latest and greatest shoot-em-up. For as long as I can remember, my brother and I have loved playing classic puzzle games like King’s Quest, Commander Keen (yah, I realize that’s not really a puzzle game), …

It was the Winter of ’96. Gas prices were less than a dollar per gallon, the East Coast had been left with over four feet of snow, and the terribly named band “A” wrote that one song … you know, the one called Winter of ’96. It really wasn’t a popular song, so I’m …

Current Status: Causing Mischief! That’s right, folks. Ashley and I took Jenna’s blog hostage. After hacking her account, we decided we would write a blog post (from her perspective) while she and Joey were in the car on their way to Iowa. After doing some preliminary research (i.e. reading old blog articles by her, stealing …

It appears as though I’ve been randomly selected to do one of these survey things by none other than my annoying sister, Jenna. Alright, here goes nothing. (After reviewing this, I realized Jenna and I wrote the same thing before starting … That was not intended and has officially creeped me out.) 8 TV …

So, today I posted on Jenna’s blog. It was my very first guest appearance, and it was pretty great. She totally doesn’t even know what I wrote yet, which is the best part. (It pays to know your sister’s password, I tell you what.) Don’t worry … I was actually doing her a favor, since …

I walked into the house today, arriving home from school and work. As I entered the kitchen a piece of paper on the table caught my attention. I started to walk away, but then I got curious and turned back to look at it. At the top it said, “Ever Aftering, by Ashley Nicole”. It …

My dear cousin, Matt. One of my favorite people in the whole entire world. He’s fun. He likes the same music as me. He has a great sense of humor. He can juggle things. He even rides a unicycle! He lives in Texas, about thirty minutes away from my sister and brother-in-law. Tuesday morning he …

It wasn’t five minutes after I had awaken from my traumatic dreams that Jenna cheerily said, “Do you want some Lucky Charms and a Pop Tart, The Kid?” (Never let it be said that Jenna used my real name, except when I was in trouble.) Of course, I agreed. I wandered into the kitchen and …

It seemed like I could possibly be dreaming, but I wasn’t sure. It was one of those in between states, where you feel as if you’re floating, but you’re lost somewhere in Never-Never-Land… but at the same time you don’t know you’re in Never-Never-Land. No, I wasn’t high. But I did know that there were …
