Hello? Hello? I can't find my head.

You know, I really don't think I had my head the night I suggested we prank the Baxter's. On Tuesday, I convinced Jill to join me, and I got Isha and Melissa into it, but it quickly turned into a very bad idea. And so, the moment you've all been waiting for....

The Caper of the Cons
"One dark summer's night, a young girl was sitting at her computer, making conversations with friends and letting her mind wander to the mysteries of the world. Suddenly, a brilliant idea began to form in her mind. There were large branches that had fallen from a near-by tree that were cluttering her yard, so why not give them to someone else? And not just anyone else. Oh no. It must be someone whose life was not blessed with the presence of trees in their yard, so that they would be filled with confusion and distraught at the sudden arrival of two very large branches in their yard. Ah ha, she thought, the perfect family would be the Baxter's. With no trees in their yard and a lenient attitude toward pranking, they would be the perfect family to dispose of her branches with. Quickly contacting her friend and fellow felon, Jillian Wheeler, they decided to meet at an appropriate time in the secret where-abouts of this young girl's (whose name we disclose at her own risk, Rebekah Whittaker) house.

Their plans were soon made, and they were joined by two other members of Ms. Whittaker's family, Annalicia and Melissa. Dressed all in black, with fierce markings painted on their faces, the girls developed a code name for themselves, based on the fact that they were all wearing Chuck Taylors. After some difficulty, the girls managed to attach the two large tree branches to the top of the White Knight, and set of slowly towards the hill where the Baxter's dwelled.

Making it safely to the top of the hill, they parked and waited for any signs of movement. There was a distant light at the house of the Baxter's, but that was not to worry the brave young girls. For at that moment, a shooting star streaked across the sky and they regarded it as a good luck omen. How little did they realize just how wrong they were.

They stood in the road, surveying the land around them. They noticed that a certain man in a nearby house was watching them through an open window. Not regarding this as particularly ominous, they continued as planned. As they crept towards the house to scope out for those lying awake, a car suddenly made its way up the hill. Terrified, they ran back to the White Knight and hid behind it in horror, for the car found its way into the Baxter's driveway and a young woman made her way into the house! Still cowering behind the van, the girls were horrified to hear yet another car, this time from the man's house! A immense truck pulled out of the nearby driveway and pulled it's hideous nose right up to the White Knight! Flashing his brights while speaking into a phone, the Cons trembled with fright as the man slowly, oh so slowly drove away. Too scared to contemplate capture, the girls quickly drove the faithful vehicle right into the driveway of the Baxter's! The truck was circling the area like a vulture, awaiting the death of careless prey. Then, scampering around to the back of the house, they discovered the same young woman they had seen earlier (a lovely young lady named Kylie) in the kitchen! Risking communication, they spoke with the maiden, who graciously agreed to allow them to rid themselves of the branches and also cavort on the trampoline. The Cons also spotted a certain young man (by the name of Steven) awake and perusing a tome, but he was the least of their worries now, so they fought the urge to terrorize him and left him in peace.

So branches disposed of, and trampoline pranced across, the girls trundled back to the van and started to head home. The were momentarily disturbed by a large jalopy following them, and their relief was complete when the vehicle turned away. So safely back in the protection of their own abodes, the Cons split and quickly retired.

Looking back, the girls realized that this was perhaps not such a good idea, and you can rest assured that they will think twice before planning another such escapade."

So there you have it. Our adventure in legend form. It's not some of my best writing, but I'm rather fond of it. Hope you all enjoyed it, and sorry for the lack of pictures. The blogger refused to upload them, which was disappointing, but they weren't that good anyway. But be warned! If you ever decide to prank the Baxter's, it might be a good idea to have a look-out for that creepy neighbor man that seems determined to catch young mischief-makers. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and you should stop by sometime and meet my wonderful cousins, who will be here late tonight through Sunday! Oh! And celebrate, for Fab and Drew Barrymore broke up! He is no longer wasting his time on silly actresses! Huzzah! Love to all! Shalom

As a student of theatre at Brigham Young University Idaho, I can assure you, Derek, that Drew Barrymore is NOT a good actress. She's nice to look at, I suppose, but even if she CAN act, I have yet to see her do it. But Drew Barrymore is totally not the important party in this...FAB IS TOTALLY SINGLE! Which is totally glorious. Too bad he's stoned all the time.
Rebekah, I commend you and your fellow felons for an adventure worth chronicaling. I know that's a real word, but I totally just made up how to spell it. That's awesome. We have pranked someone ONCE all summer, and it was lame. We stole some giant inner tubes from our neighbors across the way, but it turns out they wanted us to keep them in our spare bedroom for storage anyway. LAME.
I TOTALLY SEE YOU IN 3 DAYS AND I HAVE TO PEE I'M SO EXCITED!
I also just noticed that I've used the word "totally" rather excessively in this comment.
