Your Weekly Townsend Fix Column 49

Hey Everyone! Haha So I went on retreat...do you want to know HOW townsend brain washed i am? There was this guy named Ian at the retreat and I swear to you that if I closed my eyes he sounded like Dominic. The retreat was fun, it was a low-ropes course in Occidental...luckily I'm not dead or broken in any way...i DID however almost puke after driving there on a bus because of the windy roads to the place. I learned though to never push myself to the point that I get injured. How many of you know where this is going? Anyways on a lighter note, I had Mother-daughter evening, which prevented me on taking the drive to Santa Monica. It was fun, my mom and I had some time to ourselves, we danced, partied, and afterwards went to Mel's for a latenight snack. I was pooped after that and slept till nearly noon this morning. Today I ran arrands and did a bunch of stuff I really didn't need to do but if I didn't do it I would've never gotten it done so today was the day. I even did homework and cleaned my room! Well the cleaning of the room as most of you know by now comes only when I'm stressed. I was in distress after talking to Courtney (1/3 of the founders for the official club) and Holly. With the whole Todd thing I was contemplating calling him. I got stressed thinking about it. But two good things came out of it...a) Calling him was okay to do because it put my mind better at ease and b) the room is clean and i can see the floor and the surface of my desk. So I promised to tell you all more about Todd in the newsflash notice. Let me reiterate again that Todd is O-K...better than O- K...he's A-O-K. I called him to leave him a voice message (because I rarely catch him when his cell is on). I was hoping it was off instead of it ringing the possibility of waking him up. On about the 3rd ring he picked up...i was almost too surprised to hear his voice that i nearly dropped the phone. I know it's his phone and all but it's a change from the routine. Anyways he told me all the stuff i reported to you. He basically over exurted himself. I gave him the whole "you shouldn't push yourself speech." If he wasn't hurt and stuff I would have to go there to hurt him for doing that to himself but I think i'd feel too guilty lol. The boy was eating when I called so if he's eating...he's ok. He's a fighter man. I said, "Well you finished the race right?" and he goes "Yeah I finished." In this manly "hell yea I did" tone. When he was telling me what happened it was as if he had memorized some speech or something. It was surprising because everything was worded in such a medicaly way. But after the speech he flipped the tables he goes "SO what are you doing?" I wish I could've said "Oh I"m climbing the alps" or "I'm fliming my movie" but I told him I was home alone, by myself. (The exciting lifestyle.) I told him that I was tempted to have a party but wasn't going to. He pursuaded me to watch a movie. Todd didn't know until tonight that I can't watch a movie by myself because I get scared and have to call someone up to keep me company. I didn't think he would find it funny but he did. It was a short conversation but i the end I decided I would be able to sleep easy tonight. I don't know why I worry myself. I worry like a mother sometimes. I worry most when I realize that the guys push themselves the way they do. The only way you'd get ANY of the guys not to do something is if they were missing a leg, and I mean MISSING a leg, they'd probably do something with an arrow stuck in their leg because "it didn't hurt that much." I hate it when people do that. I worry. It's like Dominic KNEW he had a bad knee and he did the worst thing you could do the most physical exercise you could do. If I were him I'd probably tie him to a chair or cut off his leg. I'm glad he got taken out because he probably would've done something worse to that knee. And the fact that Todd went in to the challenge in his shape....man I would've tied him down to a chair, suspend him on the ceiling and cut off BOTH his legs. They have all been sick and they still perform. And anyone in their right mind will stop and break . Well none of the guys are in their right mind. Yup, they're all 110% insane. Trust me they're insane. All have been sick or under the weather and they all do it. I do believe that they do it for MORE than making us happy, I think it makes them happy. No, I know it makes them happy. It makes me wonder if I could do that you know? Could I get up every morning and do something like that even if it feels like my head is 200 pounds and every joint in my body aches? I wish I could say I could and I would but I honestly don't know. I guess we all don't know till we live it right? Besides the fact that the guys are insane, crazy, and sometimes falling apart, I can tell you this much though, the guys got soul. I figure this, if I can find a guy with as much heart as any one of them, and with their integrity, I'd be happy. But there's a problem...there are none of those guys right now and if there are, they've got girlfriends or something of sorts like that. You know the saying "guys are like parking spaces the only ones left are handicapped"? It's totally true. My mom and I...actually all of my parents and I have decided I'm not ready for a steady relationship just because I"m picky. The extent of my pickiness is aweful. If I made a list of everything I look for in a guy it would take you a lifetime to read it. I'm currently home alone right now. I enjoy being a hermit. I have the whole house to myself and I'm so not complaining. I love it like this. My friend had some VIP passes to this club for teen night and wanted me to go to see this DJ from Paris or something. Except I can only handle techno music for a little while, not ALL night. I gave up the dressing up, make up, and making myself visually more acceptable for a night in pajamas, junk food, music with words, and dinner from the microwave. Exciting life huh? Yeah well I just wasn't in the mood tonight. I'm still kinda tired from mother-daughter evening. All night I've been trying to occupy myself. I freak myself out sometimes when I"m home alone and need to call someone to keep me company if I get scared. When Todd said to pop a movie in the VCR I would've scared myself going into the hallway to find a video. I plan later on tonight to go into my parents room where the DVD player on the computer has "Boys & Girls" and watch it for the umpteenth time with some junk food. Did you know that one time I pigged out watching that movie that I had to stay home the next day because I was sick from all the food? Well Ryan didn't know either...until my sister told him. I don't know how she told him. She's too shy to ask for a picture and she goes telling Ryan that I got sick from pigging out while viewing Boys & Girls and that I pause the DVD whenever he's up. Tell me how something like that happens...because I don't know how it does. Mel's with some friends tonight and I'm home...I don't know how my kid sister has more of a life than me sometimes. But she's cool. Most of her friends are cool too. She had some party with a bunch of girls and guys from her class and when I went to pick her up I just chilled and talked with all of them. Last year when the guys had their appearance at the Aaron Carter thing and we had an extra ticket. Mel had her friend from school come along and it was like having a second kid sister. I had her learn the guys' names in the car and educated her fully. When it came time to meeting them she was totally cool. In the end she was happy and i was happy and mel was happy. We were all happy. lol. Anyways I got to get going....junk food some, a DVD, and peach snapple is calling me. I know that a bunch of questions regarding Todd and Dominic are coming in. I do not have any information on Dominic but when I do I"ll update you. But send in questions anyways and I"ll see if I have the answer or can get one for you. Take care of yourselves....STAY SAFE...unlike some boys we know! Stay Safe & Stay You Love Always, Kristen xoxoxo
