It has come to my attention that in one of my previous blogging efforts, I poked fun at a fellow blogger's blogging efforts. This is not okay, and we need to stick together. Thus I issue a recall of that blog. ....Or at least I will say that I'm sorry Joshwa. I beg for forgivness. To show my authenticity, I will form my own things-i-want-to-do-before-i-kick-the-bucket list and it will be inferior to Josh's (and Angel's. I've heard some of hers. She's much more exciting than I).
things-i-want-to-do-before-i-kick-the-bucket:
1. Go to a foreign food market in town
2. See my jr. high girls rockin' and influential for the Lord!
3. Sing the national anthem at a sports game. Except I want it to be another country's national anthem. In another country.
4. Zipline through the mountains or rainforest or someplace exciting.
5. FOR NARNIA!!!!
6. make the perfect soy cappucino and give it to a possible cranky customer that I possibly had last week. This is not bitterness. honestly.
7. See the Holy Lands. (or is it holy "land"?) I choose lands.
This is what I have so far. I kind of felt like I was on the spot and could not think of more... thus there is more to come. I will say that the chance of more to come is 70%. I am also not very good at estimations. Hopefully more is to come.
To quote the eloquent words of my History of Mexico teacher when educating us on current Mexican culture, "I wouldn't be too terribly afraid to go to Mexico City..in the daytime...."

A La Escuela!!! La da da dahdahdahdah
Do not worry. I am here with stress relieving suggestions.
5 Things I suggest:
1. Jesus.
2. My roommate has these supplements from the natural food section she used to work at in Cashwise. When you take them your body shuts down. Gaba something or other... Don't worry, they're not shady.
3. Plant a garden plot in the community garden on north university.
4. Wind the grandfather clock.
5. Crochet.
I do not suggest sneezing with nutter butters in your mouth. gross. Then you need to sanitize. I also do not suggest cherries, but that's just a personal preference.
On Wednesday, in my first class, we were asked to share our name, year, and why we joined the class we did. I have a fellow student in that class. He's named after a fancy variety of fruit, has a french accent, and used the verb "relish" in his description of why he studied history (that was the course). It was all very classy. Well done, Pere.
Note: I am not making fun. I like class. (As in style, not academics, though I don't mind that either.)
Bonjour!

bike rides, legolas, and rainy kitchens.
Thoughts that I'd like to share for the benefit of mankind:
bucket lists- I wanted to make a bucket list- mainly because it sounded fun and EVERYbody has one, but I was informed recently that "bucket list" is short for "things-i-want-to-do-before-i-kick-the-bucket list." Tacky. Kick the bucket? What a tacky name for a list. I always thought "bucket list" sounded at least somewhat classy or sophisticated. This ruined it for me. I might not even make one now.
but if i do i'll probably blog about it ;)
fruit pizza- mmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm. That's about the depth of my thought.
weekend!- I'm going on a fun friday/saturday trip for my birthday (which is on MONDAY!!! ahhhhhhHHHH!). Fun fun fun! Ben is surprising me with lots of secret surprises! We will be staying at his aunts house on friday--in SEPARATE rooms/floors. I just have to issue a minor disclaimer to all newbies reading this :) I love Jesus and do not want to do anything that dishonors Him in any relationship! I don't want a super fun filled great surprise weekend to sound like it's anything sad like that! Nope! It's happy! :). Disclaimer over. Anyway, it will be fun fun fun! fun!
lord of the rings- I went on a bike ride with Austin and Jordan today. On this trip austin volunteered to pretend to be the elf from lord of the rings. He became so inspired we went back to their apartment and watched some of it. Austin's getting better at prancing and thoughtfully staring off into the distance.
cleaning- i don't wanna do it. I should have done it earlier. It's the main source of my current procratination. I'ma go to bed instead of cleaning. Maybe i'll do it tomorrow. :)
Serving- I want to be a servant. Not the still-kinda-try-and-get-your-own kind, but the legit, humble, Jesus kind. I don't want to worry about things being fair, or making sure I have what I need first. I want to love people in how I serve them, not just by saying that I do. I want my roommates (they are the best!), and friends, and acquaintences, and strangers to know their need is more important than my need. ...Which means their need needs to be more important in my heart too. Good thing Jesus is in the changing hearts business!
rain- it's raining right now. I love rain! I especially love falling asleep to it. I do not, however, love it when it rains in my apartment. It's also raining in my kitchen right now. We have bowls set out on the floor. I am not annoyed. I am speaking life over my not-annoyedness.
That's all I got- I think I procrastinated long enough to leave everything I should have done tonight for tomorrow morning, and just go to bed. :) Goodnight!!
p.s. this was supposed to be posted last night- in case the "raining right now" and "going to bed" confuses you :) follow this, instead of the time listed!

To Save A Life!!!
So...I am blogging at 2:30 in the morning (that's right...I am being crazy, can you believe it?!) but I have a good reason: I just watched a really, really good movie!
The movie is "To Save a Life" (as you may have guessed by my clever blog title) and I have been wanting to watch it for eight months, ever since Miriah showed me a movie trailer online. Since I have been waiting to watch it for so long, of course I wanted to stick it in when I came home from work today since I just bought it. It was soooo good that I was wide awake for the whole thing! (this is saying a lot considering I always fall asleep in movies and four hours ago I thought I was going to fall asleep putting my residents to bed)
If you have never heard about this movie, I will tell you a little about it. It's about this really popular guy who had this friend when he was younger that he stopped hanging out with since this friend was not cool and then when something tragic happens to this "no-longer friend", the popular guy starts looking at life from a whole new perspective and making a difference in others' live. (I realize that this description sounds super lame-it is waaay past when I should be sleeping-but trust me, it is so good-and very inspirational!) If I had fast internet connection I would put a picture and a link on here for your convenience but unfortunately dial-up is turtle slow so I will leave that up to whomsoever pleases. Oh, and the youth pastor in the movie reminds me of Pastor Terry, not in looks, but in mannerisms and character. (So see, it has to be good!)
Anyways, I am rambling on and on, but one more thing about this movie: since I own it now, if you (reader) would like to watch it one day, you can do so for free because I can soon bring it to our apartment...woo hoo! Good night/morning/day!
P.S. I really liked seeing my roommates three separate times the other day in the same Wal-Mart shopping trip..what a fun surprise!

thank you, sister rosalind
I think it's important that everybody reading this blog knows that my roommates are the greatest (sorry all other roommates :) )They are fun, and have red, curly, hair that does not look like a boy's on the wii, lots of freckles and love horses. Elite traits.
they are good at so many things!
They are good at doing the dishes
They are good at cooking
They are good at talking in Ubbi Dubbi
They are good at Friendship (pun)
They are good at buying groceries
They are good at being fun
They are good at training horses
They are good at running
They are good at writing funny blogs
They are good at writing deep blogs
They are good at doing their hair
They are good at being encouraging
They are good at challenging me
They are good at sharpening me
They are good at lifting me up!
They are good at giving me wise advice
They are good at being roommates (or fellow friends, for those who don't like the term "roommates" anymore :D)
They are the best of the best and deserve the best! They should get something in return- like a wii! or maybe oondwah en fraezah? Or maybe a free hour long massage by a massage therapist specialist! OOOOooooOOoooooo. Will they actually get any of these sweet things? One, for sure. Two?... maybe!
In the wise words of Blake Morrow, who quoted the much wiser words of Jesus, "ask and you shall receive."

The One Way really wants a Wii.
TOP 10 REASONS WHY THE ONE WAY NEEDS A WII
1. You can make Mii's (its like plastic surgery, but not invasive)
2. Good wrist excercise
3. Staring at a screen stimulates nothing, which makes it very relaxing, since we lead stressful lives this is necessary
4. Promotes community
5. Makes our apartment a hot spot for pre-christians to hang out
6. Creates a sense of involvement in the gamers guild
7. Provides a break from late night study sessions
8. Makes boys want to date us
9. Distracts us from problems we should be dealing with
10. Provides an outlet for apartment tension
Please consider sending a check of donation, or shooting up a prayer for others to send checks of donation. We need to raise about $1,000 dollars. This will provide for the actual Wii, shipping, multiple controllers, multiple games, and other accessories we need to make this Wii experience the best for all. This is a tax deductible donation, since it's going for ministry. Any and all help will be appreciated!! Thank you fellow comrades.

Ninjas
Have you ever heard of a ninja? Maybe you've seen one lurking in a back alleyway somewhere or on top of your roof.... well, in my first real blog I've decided to educate you more on ninja's. First, i will describe to you what a ninja is. Then, i will show you some examples of what a real life ninja looks like. After that, well... I'm not sure yet.
One may wonder, what exactly is a ninja?
A ninja or shinobi is a covert agent or mercenary of feudal Japan specializing in unorthodox arts of war. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, as well as open combat in certain situations. The ninja, using covert methods of waging war, were contrasted with the samurai who had strict rules about honor and combat. (compliments of Wikipedia)
Now that you know what a ninja is, you might be wondering... "what does a ninja look like?" or "how can you tell if someone you know is a ninja?" here are some pictures that will hopefully help you better identify what a ninja looks like.
well, there you have it. I hope you have been better educated on what a ninja is and what they look like. they are often not the stereotypical male dressed in all black with only his eyes showing. ninja's often look like your average Joe across the street who sips coffee and eats chips (organic of course). So, just be on the look out and if you ever come across someone who you think might be a ninja, run away as fast as you can... or play dead, since he'll probably catch you if you run. For more information or to hear more facts from a guy who is obsessed with ninja's, visit this website: http://www.realultimatepower.net/index4.htm
-Angel
no men, women, children, or birds (especially birds) were harmed in the making of this blog. Also, i want to add that Jessica Gerdes is the ultimate ninja!!! The end!

| here we have a young ninja in training. In this photo he is practicing his karate chop. |
 |
| this is a ninja right before he is about to destroy something or someone... if you ever see this look in someone's eyes.... run, just run! |
 |
| This is a ninja on crack... |
 |
| this ninja is about to slice someone's head off! YIKES! |
 | |||||||||||||||
| and finally, we have a ninja pulling off his mad skills. we call this the drop kick... i saved the best for last! |

JG Photography™
I have been thinking semi extensively (while I'm not thinking about much deeper, important things of course :) ) about purchasing a digital camera. I don't have any way of documenting my life save journaling, but pictures take way long to draw, and then you can't even tell who it's supposed to be, and what they are doing. I need to document my life! Plus they are fun and creative people own them and I want to be creative. Blogging has also increased my desire to own a camera. How can I possibly help make our blog oprah worthy without even having a decent camera to prove that all the monumental things we are doing are legit?? Danae Moran has a camera. And she takes sweet pictures with them. And she is creative and loves thrift stores. And her blog is sweet. And her life is currently being successfully documented via cute pictures. We already have one out of six things in common. It will be complete when I own a camera. Trust me. Pretty soon you will see me whipping out pictures such as these (courtesy of google image search "sweet photography"):
One day..

I feel like an alien...
so I feel like I am breaking a rule by posting something because I am not even in the "ONE WAY" while I type this, but that is ok, right? I will be there soon anyhow...
First off, I would like to verify Angel's claim of having a dog. She has a dog, and I have seen him when she last visited my house (he is very small and I thought my sister's rather large bear/dog was going to eat him...he also likes to mark his territory, and I now believe that the majority of our yard belongs to him) : )
Also, I would like to inform our readers (do we have readers or is this just a way to kind of communicate with each other?...I don't know, I never have blogged before) well, in any case, I will inform Angel that I will soon be back to protect her from evil pranksters (our freezer seems to be a hot spot for mischief!)
Oh boy, the school year hasn't even started yet and already this blog has kept me from learning different meds...this may not be the best sign : /
P.S. My mom got me a salad spinner, which means my mom bought US a salad spinner!

sugar free dilly bar?
the night started out fairly uneventful. i didn't know if i was going to end up downtown street witnessing, or just cleaning, or whatever else it was i was going to do.
but nothing came of any plans, so us one-way girls went to the dairy queen becuase we thought it was the day when a dollar of our blizzards goes to help sick kids, but it turns out it wasn't that day yet..
so i was being extremely indecisive. like i've never felt so indecisive. i wanted nothing. i almost ordered a polish sausage meal just because it sounded revolting.
so we're standing at the counter, and all the cashiers were just staring at me .. like they thought staring would help me think faster. when in reality it just made me more indecisive and flustered (and just to throw this in, i left in a hurry so my shirt maybe wasn't appropriate so i felt like the staring was exceptionally awkward) .
so after they were all throwing suggestions out there and trying to convince me of what to get, i finally gathered myself and said to the boy "i don't even know if i should have ice cream", trying to say maybe i just wasn't even in the mood for ice cream.. but in response he says...
"maybe a sugar free dilly bar then?"

Wild Child
Hi
-Gladys
I love the fact that the title of this blog is "wild child" especially cause gladys made it... she is a wild child!
I had cheerios for breakfast today (it lowers your cholesterol if you didn't know). Now im currently at my mom's house (in the air conditioning... be jealous roommates ;) and im going to take my dog (who is very real, josie) for a walk eventually. Later, i will go home, go to youth group, and maybe after that go on a late night bike ride... possibly. The end!
I don't think i would be classified as a "wild child." the craziest thing i did today was have cheerios for breakfast... But they were good! :)

thrombosis...
What you are looking at here, folks, is a classic case of DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (more commonly known as DVT). Deep venous thrombosis is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a vein that is deep inside the body. This most often leads to death. DEATH.
Now some may say this is an unhealthy fear. But I beg to differ. Have any of you faithful readers ever felt....
- Changes in skin color (redness) in one leg
- Increased warmth in one leg
- Leg pain in one leg
- Leg tenderness in one leg
- Swelling (edema) of one leg

Any of you who have ever been walking, hiking, swimming, sitting, or just simply existing, have probably felt all of these things. Well I am here to tell you that if you're not careful, you will contract DVT and probably die.
But I have good news for you!! I'm going to tell you how I avoid contracting DVT.
Usually I don't sit cross legged. I like to always stick my legs out or just stand. I also don't hide in barrels or small spaces. When you are playing hide and seek, don't hide somewhere you can become stuck and not found quickly. You might contract DVT this way.
By the way....
Risks for DVT include:
- Bedrest
- Cigarette smoking
- Fractures
- Giving birth within the last 6 months
- Medications such as estrogen and birth control pills
- Sitting for a long time, such as on a long plane or car trip
People, please be smart. You don't want to clot. ---joz

Blogging for Oprah
I would just like to form a persuasive arguement as to why everyone should blog.
Thesis: Everybody should be involved in some sort of blog in which they may spend 40 minutes to one hour of each day making it cooler.
Back-up evidence:
1. They are fun and encouraging. Lots of times people only comment when they like what you have to say, and don't bother saying anything when they don't like what you have to say, so it looks like everybody loves your blog because all the positive comments are being shared. Encouraging.
2. Oprah probably loves blogs. At the ONE WAY, we're going to think of some way to make our blog so cool and well-known that Oprah (or her producers) hear about it and does a special all about adventures of the ONE WAY someday. How else do you plan on getting on the Oprah show?
3. Blogging is super easy to figure out! If you are not "techy" enough- do not worry... I have been blogging for two whole days now, and can show you the ropes.
4. Unlike facebook. not many people know you have a blog, so you can say lots and lots of stuff and it can be a semi-secret! Secrets are fun so blogging is fun. Facebook cannot offer you that (except for in a facebook thread between a closed group of people. But, not as fun.)
5. You can blog about deep stuff or just fun stuff- because it's your blog and you can write whatever you want and people will read it- even if they don't want to read it they probably will because they want to know what the rest of what you wrote says. That is why you are reading back-up evidence #5 right now! adventure of the ONE WAY has yet to blog about something deep, but give it time... it'll come...
Conclusion: We need to get the news out to parents and students across the world. We need to print up issues in magazines and it should be front page on newspapers. We need to take it to the press by interviews airing on television and any other way possible to get the message around. People are giving [blogging] a bad name and we need to put an end to it by any means possible.
Lets stop people from giving [blogging] a bad name. From people tucking in their t-shirts to people tucking in their dress shirts, it needs to stop. That [facebook] is something of the past and we need to move into our next [blogging] era. Burn those old ones, throw them away. [Blog] and let comfortable shirt freedom live on.
**Conclusion Compliments of benji skjoldal. Some of this text has been changed to better fit our arguement. Thank you.

no more confessions!!!
It has come to my attention that this blog has turned into a confessional. Girls, the internet is not a priest. It will do us no good to confess secret sins that we have committed against each other. Let's keep the unspoken unspoken and live life in constant fear of each other finding out we're violating each others personal property and space on a daily basis.
I'm going to start my own blog now. This excites me. -------JOSEPHINE

Confessions
I have to confess that I went online and looked at our blog. Then I looked at our profile. I noticed how there were around only 5 views... so I went back to our main page and looked at our profile over and over and over again to make it look like 20 people looked at our blog. They didn't. It was me. I want a cool blog like danae moran. -Jessica.
P.S. this-> "~" is a squiggly sign (forgive my lack of knowledge of what the symbol actually is or does). Not to be confused with a hyphen. "-". Naturally. ;)
my confession is that I used one of josie's eggs today and I use jessica's toothpaste (occasionally). is it better to ask forgiveness then permission? :)

Imitate Joshua as he imitates Jesus
Here at the One Way, we want to look like Jesus. Josh Skjoldal looks like Jesus and he has a blog, so we got a blog too. -Jessica
Today I woke up and felt a little under the weather, henceforth I am at home in our sweltering hot apartment. Odd how outside it is quite cool, but what am I supposed to do, sit out there? BACK TO THE FUTURE!!! -Josie
Currently, Jessica is exploring mine and josie's pinky toes. im gonna make eggs soon. cereal. -Angel
What you made a blog? Are you serious?! What are we gonna write on it? I dont want to be part of this. Blogs are for exciting people not people like me who sit and dolaundry all day.!
Example Aug. 02.- did laundry the end
