Here are my past entries for my homepage!!!^-^
(Updated April 14th, 2004)
OH crap and a half!!! Sorry goobers life has been, well actually not that bad, I just haven't had too much to update. And when I do I tend to get so caught up with it that I forget to post it!! OOPS!! You know what I lied there is a lot but so much I can't really right due to the baggage that would come along with it. Freakin-a soap operas. Anywho here's the gist:
Honor roll last semester(all A's) go me!! Not so well this semester(though still not bad)! Started this ritual of going clubbing once a month but going out every day off or 1/2 day off. Let me say that it's VERY MUCH needed! Spoke to Thomas, you know, ghetto boy from Montana, for the first time in almost 4 years!! Uh, getting a Foo tattoo next week(finally)! I spent a weekend in Atlantic City for my, sigh, 26th birthday!!! That was soooo much fun!! Making a lot of cool friends during my short time as an O.R. operator.
Some rough news: Chris, you know my younger brother, he just turned 20 on Feb. 10th and 6 days later what sent to Kuwait. To top it off my cousin, Cuya Matty has been in Iraq since January. Pretty stressful. Chris is supposed to be back for a two week r&R thing in May but don't know if that will happen.
Okay can't talk bout it anymore. Foo Stuff: Did anyone get Dave's masterpiece PROBOT!! If so , you rock!!! If not..well you, uh, go get it! Nate's a daddy too now! Uh yeah...that's really all
No wait one really really really really cool thing happened but that has to wait til I have time to update my Remembering Bryan page(gee such forshadowing).
Oh and 6 more episodes of Angel left...yeah I know I didn't like it as much as Buffy but still...hey, if she doesn't appear for at least the final episode...expect some MAJOR bitching and ranting next update. That in a month you'll get over it!!
((Updated October 14th, 2003)
Okay before I begin with updates I forgot to mention somethings. When I went to see the Foos in PA with Kami we got to hear the soundcheck(from outside the stadium) and got to see Nate and meet Taylor, rock on!! AND it turned out that it was Peter Criss on the drums in Hershey!! YAY so when he sang Beth(of course I cried).
K, now for updates. First Foo stuff! Today is the anniversary of the release of All my Life. Next week we(at the foo board) declared it to be FF week in celebration of their fourth album(One By One)bday(10/22). I'll be in full foo gear then:) Um, OH and Shifty(aka Chris Shiflett is a daddy!! Congrats!(like he'll ever see this page)Yeah I'm a constant on the Foo Board and Jackson Board. Only thing I have time to do between work, school and studying(yes I do that now)!
As of now, I'm a PRN/Sitter at Harbor Hospital. 3 days a week, 12 hrs a day. It's pretty cool. I get to hang with the nurses and doctors(some mighty fine males ones I must say, LOL)and ask them questions about their profession. OH and I am totally kicking ass in my classes! Who would have thought I, Da Bean, would be getting "A'S" in my Human Bio and Psychology class(and a B in Bio lab but that's good too)?
oh yeah! Kimmy my bestest bud in the entire milky way is FINALLY getting married to good 'ol Ritchie(whew)! I'm so excited. It's this June and I'm a Bridesmaid(I'd better be after all I went through, lol). Saw her ideas for our dresses...yep gotta quit eating(again)! As for me, I will eternally be single and be known as "one of the guys". Sucks, but who cares, right?It's all good. I'm still alive and kicking, right. OH well that's bout it
((Updated August 30, 2003)
Whoops! It's so strange, you get so caught in life that things tend to slip your mind! It wasn't until I received an email from an old college bud that I remembered, 'woah I have a website!'(THANKS JOE!) Looking back I haven't updated since May. Usually this happens cuz I have nothing to write but this summer has been SOOO crazy that I can't believe I haven't written any of it down. Usually I'd give a looooong ass update that would bore my mother but this time here's the gist of whats gone on.
May-ended my season at Kaiser(we'll get back to this), went to HFStival(real cool, met the Donnas)
June-went back to St.John's but just as a sub:(
July(big month)-drove to NYC(by myself) and saw the Foos on the 3rd. Decided not to come back to Kaiser and go back to school to prepare for nursing school(4th-til present, lots of drama). Met online fellow MDer Foo Fan, Kami, and went with her to see the Foos in Pittsburg on the 9th. Asked if I would like to teach 4th and 5th graders for St. John in the Fall.
August-Should start this with Dave Grohl's wedding to Jordyn Blum on the 2nd(sniff sniff, okay over it)! Went to Otakon 03 and met friend from last year, Matt (8/8-10th). Woke up at 3am on the 11th to drive(followed my parents and younger brother)to Florida. Stayed with them(Fort Wilderness) and did the Disney Parks (8/12-15th)went to a luau(15th), then Universal(16th). Left my family(they went on to the Kennedy Space Center then drove homw)and stayed in a hotel(17th-21st)where I looked for potential jobs, homes, etc for when I move down after Nursing School:). Spent my free time checking Kissimmee, Downtown Disney(Pleaseure Island rocks btw) and went to the Titanic exhibit and the Hard Rock Vault(where I met AFI!!!). Then around 7am on the 21st packed my things and headed home. Arrived 18hours later tired and delirious(caught some illness halfway through Fl vacation). Did NOT get job at St. John's:{ Started my classes on the 25th. Got to catch up (via phone and email) with fellow northlanders Shan, Joe, and Tiff. And now, tomorrow, I will be ended August and my Summer by going to Hershey Park, PA where I will be doing the themepark thing and seeing KISS and AEROSMITH in concert!!!
One thing I should complain about that...my favorite Kiss member is Peter Criss. On our way to the Foo concert, Kami, informed me that he left and is replaced by someone new. Then last week I found out Ace Frehley is replaced. To make it worst, the new members are wearing the original makeup!!!! Absolutely ridiculus!! this is almost as bad as the making of the 2nd and 3rd CROW!!! But I bought my ticket in May, and Aerosmith will be there so...that's it. DAMN, if this was a summary, imagine how long this would be if I went into my usual detail!!!
(updated May 18, 2003)
Okay lots to update but will only give a summary. Had a nice long Spring Break and returned to work refreshed. Went to NC for City Fest and saw the Foo Fighters. That whole weekend was amazing and much needed. I've been Sulky in the R-files for the past two weeks and this week are our last three show:( Then comes the WHFStival, 30 bands at the RFK. After that we have a week and a day left. Then is SUMMER!!!
Summer will nice and peaceful. Hopefully back to work at St. John's. The Foos will be in NYC for July 2 and 3(course I'm going). Otakon will be coming up in August as is...KISS and AEROSMITH!!!!
K, ya'll I'm still as big an Nsync fan as I was though I will NOT be seeing Justin in concert anytime soon(eck) but JC? I'm waiting! ahem anyway...Then it's off to Florida for a week whew!
K, tv updates. Buffy is ending on Tuesday...can this be? Will life be over as we know it! On a good note Ed will be on for another season hip hip HORRAY!!!
(updated April 16, 2003)
Hey guys, nothing new. Still on Spring Break. Just wanted to note that today marks the 2 year anniversary of Bryan Taylor's death. Yesterday I went to the Basillica in DC and had a mass sent for him.
Peace
(updated April 11, 2003)
Well, before I begin I just wanna say that I won't be updating for a while. Some things have gone down(well they've been like this for a while) and I'm finally gonna try and get my life back in order. So my next update should be a happy one(hopefully). anywho, I'm 25 now(yeah) saw the QOTSA(YAY!!!)!! had a physical breakdown(almost mental but thankfully there's a GOD and I have a cool support system), I'm spending this extended Spring Break recovering and in two week I will be in North Carolina having a real break and seeing my boys the Foo Fighters. Coincidently I just found out my Foo Fighter Theme Song which is so appropriate for my life. It's Learn to fly. However, currently my theme should be Times Like These or even BREAKOUT!! Well that's bout it! Love y'all!
(updated March 15, 2003)
Yeah! Less than a week before my 25th and I'm actually excited(finally). However not so much for that day but for what's to come. Since the FooFighters will be performing in DC/VA on a Wednesday(s.o.b's j/k)I've decided to celebrate Spring break later and go to NC on April 25(after work of course)-27. My actually Spring Break is the week before but I'll be spending that time fixing my car. FF will be performing that Saturday(26th). SO, I will actually go see them:P My mom will be getting me a room for two days as my birthday gift. I would love it if there was a way to go with another person but no one I know is a Foo Fighter fan.
No, I know what you're thinking and it's not true. I will always be loyal to the boys of Nsync!! But, well they're not really doing anything. BUT course I'll be seeing JC when he tours, duh.
Rehearsals have been hectic and mindblowing but it's slowly settling down. I think I may be able to pull all this off!
Also, I've finally sat down and began my plans for Fl. I'll be going there in the end of august beginning of september to scope things out and see what's available so I can stay in schedule and move Aug/Sept2004. I'm pretty psyched but all means I've really gotta plan my expenses(y'all know how much i hate that! So that's bout it!!
(updated March 7, 2003)
OK OK, so it's been two months since my last update. But now I have more things to tell you, right? well, not really.
Maryland had the blizzard of 03, about 2 feet. THAT was fun being the only girl in the house for 4 days!! Actually I'm home sick so that gives me time to do this, otherwise I've been BUSY!!
We wrapped up Secrets last week and this week we began rehearsals for R-files(gee, give ya two guesses where that came from). My birthday is coming up in two week(yee ha), quarter of a century, damn. To celebrate my birthday I'm going to the Queen of the Stone Age/Zwan concert the following weekend. Oh and i celebrated Mardi Gras(yes, I actually went out and went clubbing, got pretty inibriated I must say). I WAS supposed to go out again this week but judging on how I feel like horse dung on a sunny day, I think it will be best to stay in(yummy image huh)!You know there is actually not much new in my life...I've finally got my writing muse back. However, as in high school, its taken a more dark and pessimistic emphasis. I'm improving in my guitar playing, hopefully I will turn my poetry into song.
SO that's bout it, 2 months of no update and this is all I have to say bout it.
OH OH OH CONGRATULATIONS TO KENNY(i love that man) and DARCI ON THEIR MARRAIGE!!!!! Ok now I'm feeling more and more ancient, gonna go back to my rocking chair.
(updated January 3, 2003)
OH wow! Happy New Year!! I'm sorry I haven't updated in almost a month. However, not much has happened...really. Let's see things I can tell you.
Before Christmas break(yes, I know I could've worked on the page then...things happen, y'know?)we began working on a 2nd rotation for SECRETS, with the actor for Eddie switched. That's been interesting
Chris Henderson left...wah!!!! His last day was our staff Christmas party which was so SAD and awesome at the same time. I presented Chris(followed the rest of the staff) with a much worked on scrapbook of the past two years I've known him. I received this cool projection alarm clock from my boss(and we all were treated to a buffet prior to the party)
AND my secret santa...who is the coolest guy named Rahb...wrote a song about me for my final gift!!!! Can you say WOWWWWW!!!! I was so shocked, the boy had me blushing hard and if he was single...argh!!! okay gotta settle down...
break was cool...awesome presents, party, SLEEP(kinda). And I spent New Year's Eve all alone(a good thing) with some champagne and my journal and sappy movies. RELAXING!!
well that's bout it! I will remember to update pics and links the next break, or if you're lucky, this weekend!
Love
FIggy
P.S.: I've also included a link to a page concerning a show that I've started to watch..it's really funny but it needs more viewers!!!!
(updated DECEMBER 7, 2002)
WELL, Thursday was our first snow storm and when it ended we got 6-8 here. Unfortunately, I did not get a "snowed day" like every school in MD, DC, and VA. Instead, I had to get up at 3am and go to work!! We had a show in DC and DC schools didn't close until 7am. Fortunately our lead actor called the school's principal...who hadn't even gotten out of bed yet and was like “uh yeah there's no school, the show is cancelled....yada yada YADA“! ARGHH!! I've never driven in snow before(I had no car in WI), my one hand is in a wrist splint, I have strep AND an ear infection...but because the show was supposedly on and I have no understudy I was expected to in!???! It was “okay” though, I almost swerved into a ditch...twice but made it to work on time. yay for me. The clincher was finding out we didn't have a show AND everyone else was allowed to stay home and still get paid!!! That was half the company. The other half , who were either brave or stupid (i haven’t decided which we are yet) that made it, had to work around the rehearsal space. Then, our cool boss took us out to lunch and we got to go home 2 hours early:).... buuut we were back at work yesterday around 8am:) OK BACK TO CAPS!!!
All my love
Figgybean
PS: SOMETHING EERIE AND YET COMFORTING HAPPPENED THAT SNOWY THURSDAY THAT RELATES TO BRYAN. I ADDED IT TO HIS SITE!
(Updated Sometime in November)
Okay i KNOW I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE UPDATING ANYMORE, BUT I HAD TO TODAY. FIRST LET ME JUST YELL(INSERT OBSCENITY HERE)...
THE GOOD NEWS, NO FRACTURE BUT I HAVE TO GO FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY. SAW HARRY POTTER 2 WITH CHRIS AND DT, AWESOME Y'ALL BETTER GO SEE IT!!! HAD MY FIRST TWO SHOW DAY AND ANOTHER TOMORROW. HAD MY VOCAL CLASS FINAL WHICH WAS FUN. THIS SATURDAY IS OUR THANKSGIVING PARADE. OKAY ALL GOOD, RIGHT?
wELLLLLLLLL...LETS SEE, GUESS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WENT TO CHECK MY EMAIL YESTERDAY??? I FOUND THAT EVERYTHING I'D SAVED SINCE MY SOPHOMORE YEAR IN COLLEGE (THAT'S ALMOST 5 YEARS FOLKS) HAD BEEN, YEP YOU GUESSED IT *******DELETED*******!!!! ISN'T THAT GREAT??? I'M STILL IN SHOCK. I HAVE SOME STUFF ON DISK BUT NOT ALOT. SO IT'S BACK TO SQUARE ONE RIGHT??(INSERT OTHER OBSCENITIES HERE).
SO THERE YA GO! (Update Oct. 29,2002)
Uh oh,
Like I'm really supposed to keep promises:)!! I know I told y'all I was gonna make a huge update and add pics and all that good schtuff. Well, I'm sorry(imagine me on my knees begging)!!! Work, as satisfying as it is, is really giving my arse a nice stomping! and I have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel so my right hand in in a wrist splint:( SO this is taking a lot of time to right. Okay news news. I was shocked and saddened by the passing of Richard Harris I went to the last two weekends of the Renn. Fest and had an awesome time. Last Saturday I partied hard then went to Six Flags Fright Fest on Sunday(and I'm going again this weekend, in costume)! My younger brother is coming HOME!!! at 7pm tonight:) My parents will be back from a trip later tonight or tomorrow so it will be a big surprise. Lastly, after a scrunched rehearsal period, my first show is in ONE WEEK!!!! we haven't done a full run yet!!! ARGGHHHH, okay I'm better. Well, that about it! As soon as I get the time I will put those freaking pictures in!!! (Update Sept. 22,2002)
Um heh heh,
Okay folks, this is a short summary of the update I hope to put up NEXT weekend. Let's see I've returned from my vacation which was a lot of fun and I'll write more later. I do know that I WILL be down there next summer and hopefully move there by next September. I love it so much there and my moving feet are, once again, itching. I signed my contract for this season at Kaiser and begin tomorrow:) It was awesome to see all those familiar geeks and some new ones too! I found that I WILL be touring and doing SECRETS again(go Denise, go go) and Chris will be leaving in January(sniff sniff). I've started my voice lessons which I must say are amusing(sing into your mask, think Julia Child). That's pretty much it. I'd bore you with more but I've gotta go. I'm so sorry! Pics and a better update next time I PROMISE!! Update Aug 25,2002)
Eloo my peeps,
Hmmm....I think I like updating once a month, then there's more for me to tell! Let's see, my job at the Day Camp ended on Friday. That final week was fun. We threw dance parties for the youngins and the whole school on Friday. Yup, some kids mature way faster than I did! Anywho, I didn't go to the Renn Fest. I know, gasp, gak, utter shock, right??? Well I needed to save money and had to choose between discount admission at Renn....or free admission to the State Fair(duh, on that one). Oh and from tomorrow night til Sept 8, my family and I will be headed South to see my younger brother graduate from Boot Camp(sniff sniff I'M SOOO FREAKING OLD!!!) and then off to Florida to return to Disney and scope out moving possibilities(job, apt, you know the deal)! When I return I have a few weeks off but, you know me, it will be pretty hectic. Preparing to go back to Kaiser(getting back in shape, practicing, etc), taking voice lessions, and voice acting classes, and trying to keep in touch with people who I haven't seen in months though we live in the same state!!!
Okay on a really smiley note(blush)I received a call last night from someone I haven't heard from in years. My bud, my boya, my bestest guy friend in the entire universe NED(red hat guy)!!! I swear I was so happy to see him that if I were girly I'd probably cry. Instead we talked about college life, meaning the parties, drinking, bars, and movie and beer nights. That boy rocks, man!! If I sat here and wrote stuff we've been through...I'd have to make a whole new website! One that would only allow ages 18+ only(muhahaha)!
SO that's bout it! Nothing exciting in your terms but enough to make me giddy!! I'll write again when I return...hopefully during my free time and can finally get some pics up that I've been meaning too!!!!! (Update July 29,2002)
Yoyoyo,
WHOOPS! Skipped a month(posting, you pervs, sheesh)oh well I'll make up for that! Well June wasn't that exciting so it's all good! One thing, I'm teaching again for a Christian Day Camp. Yup, me and one other teacher with 10 kids ages 3-5...for 8 hours=ARGHHH!!! NO, really it's so easy and fun, except nap time. Tell me, how can it be expected to stay up for 2 hours while the room is dark, sleepy music is playing, you are surrounded by sleeping kids in warm, comfortable cots??? Yeesh!! okay MAJOR UPDATE! After missing last year and my chance to meet my fave voice actor, I went to this year's OTAKON!! I can't believe I thought going to Otakon last year would be boring! Now, I regret it but what can you do, right? ANYWHO, this year was AMAZING!!! Despite being ripped off on our hotel(well, I can't complain cuz my brother and his friend paid for it, but i will pay them back) I had an awesome time! First, YES, I met Doug Smith! FINALLY after more than 4 years! I must say I was excited and nervous, but I knew that was the first thing I had to do on the second day(ppl said he wasn't there on the first day). It was really cool and he's sooo nice. His friend and fellow illustrator had to put it all on film because most ppl come to see him and not Doug. The boys don't understand, it was Golden Boy that officially hooked me into anime!! I swear I owe that man a toilet seat(don't ask). Well I also got to meet his fiance', and got three autographs(complete with a Golden Boy sketch for each), AND his email ADDY!!! Okay nuff bout that, though I can talk bout it forever. It was first time going to Otakon all three days cuz usually I spend the first day checking out the hotel. I met so many cool people and there were so many awesome costumes! The second day, I was kindof Tatewaki Kunou(not very good) but with this cool replica of the Phoenix he had stuck to his head in one episode. I must say, that was a hit:) My brother's costume was even better as my father Principal Kunou, complete with a palm tree on his head(my creation and idea). On the last day I dressed in my Ode to Golden Boy attire and gave Doug one last hug good bye sniff sniff. AND SHOPPING?? Oops I did it again(grr, sorry) I went into the dealers room at 10 on Sat and didn't leave til 5:30, and Sun from 9-1:30. Not all my fault, I blame my friends. I didn't even sit once until then, but when I did it was to watch the cool anime features. One thing I fell in love with, and it's a classic is Ultraman! Not exactly anime but still, it rocked!! Other hits: Well I think I made up for last month, and with only one update!! So til the Renn. Fest-
(Updated May 31,2002) Hey Hey Hey
Lookee, lookee, I'm updating and ONLY a month has gone by. Okay a month and 7 days but who the heck's counting right? Let's see so much to update y'all on. First things first...The play I've been involved in since October...OVER!!!! Wow, I'm still in shock! And to think it may never be performed in this region again! Go figure. At least I have the pics, maybe the video, and the memories! And to top it off, only 2 weeks till the season with ETP is done for the summer! Dang...now I gotta get my butt in gear(once again) and get a job!! One of my fellow cast members gave all of us magnets, a framed photo and a cdphotoalbum which really rocks! I tried to upload it to this site, but alas, I am still website-challenged! BUT, I have some of the pics in the ETP album, in which I will add my own photos once they are scanned! SO check it out!!
What else...hmmm...oh, we had a lot to celebrate here in the figgybean household:
1. Will(my older brother) turned 28 on May 4th, OMG almost 30!
2.Chris(my younger brother) had his senior prom and graduation last week...I can't believe he's out of highschool. Dang, I'm getting old...is that a wrinkle?!?!? ARGH!!!
3. Mom turned
4. We performed a successful 2 days at the HIV camp!!! It was really really cool!
5. The Northland class of 2002 graduated on the 25th...sniff sniff...and I couldn't be there!!!
6.HAPPY BDAY DEVRON(MAY 31)!!! 7. My childhood friend Mike came back from Afghanistan late April(he's in the Marines, but unfortunately he might have to go back, I hope not thought:( )
And there is SOOO much more but I don't want to take any more space for that. NOW things to look forward too:
-Work season ends June 14th!
-Chris goes off to boot camp June 20th!Off to the Army he goes..heh heh!!
-Otakon 2002 BABY!!! July 26-28th!!
And of course the Renn. Festival and the return to ETP in August!!!
Well that's bout it! I hope to have more ETP pics up by the end of the season! (Updated April 21,2002)
Hey Hey Y'all Here are some updates!
This weekend the Secrets cast will be spending the weekend at a JHH Camp and performing an AIDS/HIV related play/workshop! I'm so nervous and psyched! I cannot wait to perform this piece. I hope we're ready! Otakon is on the way in July...and I'm finally(I think)getting my butt into gear and sending my payment in! I know I'm such a slacker. Things are changing for the good finally. I think I'm over my whole college rut and focused on enjoying my time back in my home town for as long as I'm here. I'm loving work, making friends, and have gone back to my goal to become fit! Gold's Gym Baby!! It's time to get moving, y'know? Oh and(okay y'know who you are, close eyes now)I went to see NSYNC last night...gasp, gurgle, swoon...see concert link for update and future pics! Well other than that and trying to find a job(s) for when my season ends, there's nothing else! HEy I made an long UPDATE!!! yay!!!^-^ (Updated April 16,2002)
Just a quick update and this weekend I'll make it better. Today marks the 1year anniversary of my friend Bryan's death.
That's its.
Much love to everyone here for a reason, season, or a lifetime.
Love Liza

Dang, I gotta go. So here is my update, cheesy as it may be!
(Updated December 22, 2001) Hey Everyone! I'm sorry once again for my lack of updates but my life is all about work right now, and surprisingly, it's not a bad thing! However, I have 11 days holiday vacation time(can you believe it) to work on this site!
So is everyone excited for the holidays? I am! I finished my shopping(well, most of it)a month early...HA HA! They're all under our Christmas tree. Our neighborhood is blinding with lights and decorations. Parties left and right! Speaking of parties, we had our Winter Soltice at work yesterday. What can I say...much love! The people I work with at Kaiser Permanente's Education Theatre Program(whew)are AMAZING! I've never included coworkers in my definition of "family". This time, I have to make an exception. I really can't explain the connection everyone has at work, nor the job in it's entirety. If I have time there'll be a site dedicate to them, as well(once I finish the other promised projects)! Let's see, what else...
1. Saw Harry Potter...so cool!
2. Have begun performing at high schools, YAY!
3. Enjoying work, can you tell?
4. Celebrated Kimmy's 22nd Bday at Rocky Run Bar & Grill
5. Finally...after lots of complications, I've begun working on Bryan's site! It still needs more but ya'll are welcome to look at it...and seriously, if you have pics or entries for that site please email me!!!
Other than that, nothing else...so I guess that's it!
I hope your holiday celebrations rock and you get all you wished for!
Hey Guys...I can't believe that a more than a day has gone by since the tragedy began...it still seems unreal. I woke up after only two hours of sleep and freaked when the first thoughts were what I saw on tv. I guess confusion was my following thought...then I picked up the remote that was actually lay on beside my bed since I'd had been watching before I went to bed(around 5am)and, once again, turned on the tv.
To get away, I went out to buy some lunch for the family. Everywhere, everyone was somber and the only discussion was that of the tragedy and what should be done. After picking up some KFC, fruits, and flowers for my Lola, I stopped and picked up the Baltimore Sun. Headlines: DEVASTATION. Coming home, I see my mom and brother glued to the television. Tears in eyes; shaking heads in disbelief. I turn in time to see a orange bag being carried out. First thought, "what is..." but stop,realizing what it was. I head up to my usual post, here in front of the computer with the television blasting updates behind me. Upon discussions online, I was angered upon the news that heartless people around the US, our own fellow citizens, were: A. making bomb threats B. celebrating these attacks and praising Ladden C.selling New York Newspapers and WTC memoriable AND making a profit off this tragedy. AS I told my family and friends: Right now I'm not even THAT upset at the terrorists(oh hell I was extremely angry before, but have calmed down since), though I'm saddened that they felt the need to show their hate by destroying so many innocent lives. Those terrorists in the hijacked planes are dead and there's nothing we can do about them, they're being judged by a higher power as we speak. Whoever is the mastermind WILL be caught and undoubtedly dealt with in a manner justly deserved(I have ideas but innocent people may be reading this)! I am, however, enraged beyond a doubt at these, excuse me, idiotic psychos who live here in the US and are surrounded by people who are suffering and mourning AND have the disgusting urge to make light of this, or mock it!! A few buildings here in MD have been graffitied with crude remarks towards the WTC. I've always tried to ignore actions of stupidity, but I couldn't help but feel this anger. I apologize for this rant...wait a sec, screw that, I don't apologize! This is my site, and these are my feelings, so I'm going to express it here! I don't support war or HOLY wars(that is the dumbest oxymoron)and I hope that we can find the responsible w/out hurting innocent people. However, when we do find who is responsible...Damn!(I can't think of words to express what should be done). BTW, Tomorrow is US Day! If you have anything red, white, or blue PLEASE WEAR IT!!!! Support, and show your pride goobers!
(UPDATED SEPT. 12)I was online checking my email when my friend Drew told me turn on my t.v.(about 9pm)and I've been glued to it ever since. It's still hard to fathom that such an act has occurred. To think that these terrorists boarded these planes knowing that the innocent passengers, crew, and the people inside these buildings were doing to be injured, or die because of their actions. My family are is in a complete state of shock as we are awaiting any word about my aunt and cousin who are within the immediate range of the WTC. My prayers go to everyone in DC and NYC and Pa whose families have been affected by this tragedy. I hope this will end without the need for more tragedies or deaths. Maryland is in complete lockdown, as is most of the eastern states. I fear for everyone...esp in the military as they are in the highest code of emergency...I am in a complete state of shock as this event continues to unfold and the grisly details come into view....Prayers to everyone!

Late last night, after hours of tension and attempts from my family and relatives worldwide to find some news about my beloved Aunt and her sons...she im'ed me to let me know she is alright(fatigue but alright) as is everyone else. She sent a mass email to confirm this and provided me with pictures taken by my cousin from the balcony of his apartment. Please take the time to go to this link...Thanks to kim, shan, lindsey, wendy, yvette, jeanie, sabrina, anne, NGO, those relatives in the PI, CA, and HI who have shown their concern and support...a BIG EMAIL HUG...we'll be needing to stay strong as this terror and tragedy continues!

On a sad note, sniff sniff, I did NOT get to go to Otakon 2001, nor the Maryland State Fair! The first time in 5 years!! And to make matters worst..after getting in contact with my favorite voice actor, and after many attempts to get him up here for Otakon...who shows up this year??? Doug Smith!! Mr. Golden Boy! My reason for ever attending the first Otakon! Argh, irk, blech. Fortunately he now works in a company in Va...heh heh heh!
Let's see, what else? OHhhh yeah...btw. I finally found a job for this year and it's a pretty cool one! Starting October, I will be a part of the Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre Tour for the 2001-2002 season! How cool is that?! I get to bring together my love for acting with my love for children! So cool! All the auditioning and anticipation I went has awakened this need for more, so after this season, who know where I'll be! When I get my first Academy Award I'll be sure to thank all of you wonderful people...who are you again? Just kidding! Ooh and while I was waiting for this important call back I had become a part of an insomniatic bunch of online freaks(jeanie, sabs, lindsey, jenn: much love from you 'ol master)! Amongst the crazy talk and perverse discussions, we come across some cool discoveries and websites! Who here are real children of the 80's? Well the new links below should stir up some memories!
AAANND, gotta put this in. Most of you don't know my younger brother(unless you're related to me) BUT anyway...he's joined the Army Reserves..BACK OFF TREE HUGGERS!!
Now, I must apologize. Thanks to Jeanie, I've discovered this but not before I realized what a total buttgoober I've been. Until today I have not updated my page or added the links i had promised. My excuse was that I was busier than I thought. However, i spend most of the wee light hours doing god knows what online with my nocturnal buds! So, as of today I'm going to TRY and do both. Notice the emphasis on the word TRY! It's working today..hopefully I can get what I promised done before work starts!

Alright, Alright...I've been a slacker, are you really surprised?? Post-grad life is so time-consuming. These past few months have especially been draining(in all sorts). Currently, I am in transition. Though I am not used to having all this time to myself, I've been doing a lot of hobbies(all sober...ack!!LOL)like reading(yeah yeah, I know, YAWN)and proving to my family that I am still the fishing queen! As I continue to search for my destiny(whether it be here in MD, back in WI, or in FL...I have no clue), I finally have the time to work a little on this page!!!
Please...contain yourselves!! I know Cheekyland has been in need of an update, and that I am DEEPLY LOVED, but the applause and cheers are hurting my ears and may distract me from any webpage work...yeesh, the struggles of being so popular!!
Er, anywho, those in Ashland or any Northland alumni...what are YOU doing(hey, I'm past the wassup phase)? Coming up for Graduation 2001 was SOOO much fun and was just the thing I needed to heal(kinda). NEW TO THIS SITE I will be adding entries to the QUOTES AND THOUGHTS page. I will also be adding three more links.
On April 16, 2001, another important person in my life was taken away before his time and I have made a tribute for him as I did my Lola...
DATES TO LOOK FOWARD TO:
August-
10-12...Otakon 2001=As of now, I still have no clue if I'm going...I may go just for one day! I can't break a tradition, can I?
13...Nsync concert baby at the RFK(another yearly tradition!
17...Crab Fest! A true Marylander's dream!!
24-Sept 3...MD State Fair
25-Oct21...Renn Fest 2001. A new tradition in Cheekyland.
So there...HA!! I'm done! Till I update later this month(I will...really), I remain
Liza Bean
WOO NELLY!!! Bmore has gone crazy tonight!! And while I partied here at home I'm so psyched and I can't wait for the celebrations! It's good to know that my hometown is now known world wide for something other than being on the top ten of the highest crime rate! Those of you who watched the game, whaddya think? Our defense just rocks, and the end of third quarter...3 td in 36 sec. It was just amazing! Oh and those of you who know me...yes you can grown but HALFTIME...heh heh (happy bday Joey). What a mix! My favorite people singing awesome songs(and of course I sang along with them) This past month in MD has been crazy its as if Barney had Pooped(Kim I said it) all over the state.
OH OKAY NUFF SAID!!!
HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR! For those of you who don't know I'm currently working as senior staff at Creative Gardens, getting certified in Early Childhood Education, and taking theatre. Along with work and school and auditions AND going to the gym 4 times a week, social life has been nil. But that will hopefully change this summer when I get my new job at, uhhh, and move to, hmmmm. Actually I have no clue exactly what's going to happen then but I guess we'll just have to wait and see(pray).
p> Well, that's it for my update...it's been a while so I felt it should be long!
ADIOS!!
DA BEAN
BY THE WAY...I'm hoping some of my Northland buds will be sending up some pics. And I will hopefully add some pics from Creative Gardens.
GOODBYE NORTHLAND!!
Yep, it's sad but true. On May 27th, my fellow seniors and I entered the Kendrigan Gym as Northland students and left as alumni. On May 29th, after 24 hours in a van stuffed with four years of memories, over 100 bucks worth of cheese and whitefish(gee, did my parents really come to WI to see me graduate?), and my parents and cousin, I'm now back in good 'ol Maryland...yay. No, really it's cool, just a lot to get used. I don't know how the other grads feel, but I still feel like I'm just on my summer vacation. It's hard to believe that in three months I will NOT be returning to WI. As promised, however, (actually, in fear of my life), I will return at least once each semester next year. I want to see all those I left behind(like Kenn, Liz, and my male freshman harem...heh heh), and the other half of my class still awaiting graduation.
Now that I'm done...WHAT TO DO?! Well, most people know my future plans. I hope to save enough money to move to the philippines(in a year or two) and spend a year there doing some research and working on the books based on my grandmother's life, then three years from now I am going to reapply to the Peace Corps.
During a conversation about life with my best pal Joe, I tried to think about the perfect job that included all my interests...so here goes.
I'm going to open a cultural center(I don't know where)where students will learn about their own, and other people's, background through art, theatre, dance, song and food. They will also learn about how their culture treats the environment. In the end students' finals will be shown. They can do an art show, perform dance, song, play...whatever. Sound good? Hey if anyone knows of any connections...YOU HAVE MY EMAIL!!! Well, that's it for my update...it's been a while so I felt it should be long!
ADIOS!!
DA BEAN
BY THE WAY...Be on the look out in my College Pals photo album for soon there will photos from certain favorite Norhtland events!

Hey y'all
Well Shan and I just returned yesterday from Spring Break(just in time for me to go to my first class). Believe me, I did NOT want to come back. Especially if I had known that my return would bring sad tidings
It was way too much fun going to NYC and MD. We spent two days with my aunt in NYC, then we went down to MD for three to see my family, then finished break up in NYC again. How did we get from place to place? GREYHOUND baby!! I've got the totals...we spent 80 hours of break on a freaking bus!! That's okay...we met some 'interesting' people to take up time...very interesting.
New York was so awesome, we saw all the sights...RENT on broadway, the Statue of Liberty and the guys, er, I meant the World Trade Center were amazing!!
Then in MD, I introduced Shan to Baltimore, crabs, oysters, my family (now with another dog and CHICKENS), my bestest friend Kimmy, and the Smithsonian. I hope she'll come back and we can do it again. It took so much to convince myself not to stay at home. But, I returned, and I'm ready to finish my final year. On a good note, I'm glad I'm back in time for (dramatic pause)COLLEGE JAM 2000. Yep 3 days of total..drun, uh I mean...fun. REMEMBER those of you reading this, it's invite only. If you don't get the little card, YOU CAN'T COME (and this will be enforced). Sigh, it's great being one of the privilege few!
To think, we are this close to graduation. I think Ned's(red hat guy) message in my guest book sums it all up!
Things I'm looking forward to(or I'm nervous about):
May ??(unless you're invited, or Ned, you don't need to know): College Jam 00!!
AND
May 27... BYE BYE COLLEGE(okay, okay...yes, NED I'll miss everyone)!!! Take Care Y'all!!!
My love to Ned, Erin, Toni, Karen, Shawn, EJ, Karl, Ben, Amber, Michelle, Josh and all my fellow seniors! LESS THAN A MONTH TO GO GUYS!!!!!

YAHOOOO!!! After so much stress and many sleepless nights the MULTI-CULTURAL FAIR is OVER!! It was sooo awesome and even with the ups and downs it was a complete success. Of course with me being coordinator it wasn't accident-free for me. I survived it though with a massive headache...and a sprained ankle...go figure Well just had my exit review...that's one more step to leaving. And in less than a week and a half, Shan and I will be heading for NYC as well as my home town in MD. THANK GOD!!! I really need to get out of here. BUT...I'll be back in time for (dramatic pause)COLLEGE JAM 2000. Yep 3 days of total..drun, uh I mean...fun. REMEMBER those of you reading this, it's invite only. If you don't get the little card, YOU CAN'T COME (and this will be enforced). Sigh, it's great being one of the privilege few!

HEY a tradition at Northland graduation is for graduates to wear something on their cap or gown to make them stand out(being naked, crowns, boas...etc). So, what do you say guys...what should I do. If any of you say tape Tequiza labels on my cap, too late someone suggested that already!
My love to Ned, Erin, Toni, Karen, Shawn, EJ, Jodie, Kirsten, Julia, Dave, Karl, Ben, Amber, Michelle, Josh and all my fellow seniors! 1.5 MONTHS TO GO GUYS!!!!!

WHEW...this past week has been one big emotional ride.
Thomas and his friend Ryan came up for the week and that was one drunken blast but that wasn't all. So many of the 'old crew' showed up and with calls from Happy and Shan, it was just too cool. Then...April 1st...April Fool's Day...ha ha ha...right?! NOT! I woke up that dreadful morning to someone in the hallway yelling, "The Depot's on Fire!" What's the Depot? The Depot is this old train station that was turned into the center of two of the coolest restaurants, offices and the place frequented by all Northlanders for years and years. People talk about rebuilding...grrr. They just don't understand. I've only been going there for four years and I know (as does all the seniors) that it'll never be the same.
On a lighter note it was also the senior party(actually not light, it was depressing as well). To think, we are this close to graduation. I think Ned's(red hat guy) message in my guest book sums it all up!
(Updated March 24, 2000)
Well, my birthday has come and gone. The party was pretty interesting...pink flamingoes, crazy twins, jello, coconuts, potluck...and the crocodile hunter's most DANGEROUS adventure?! Yep, I feel old. I figure...hey, I'm short...so my hill is too. My concept is that...Life, is constipation(tough doo doo:) ) But it all works out in the end.
On a light note, amongst the stresses of senior life, I will also be attending/helping the Northland College Pow-Wow, AND good 'ol Kenny's gonna be holding a "Working" cast reunion/Labrinth Party!
OH!! and guess what. I've just been informed by dear 'ol Ned that our wonderful sheep loving, beer drinking, tobacco chewing, funny dancing, lover not a fighter(heh heh)Montana ghetto-boy will soon be up for a visit. Yes my dear goobers, its the king of goobers(and center of hasslin' from da boys) Tommy-boy!!! I can't wait to see him, now he can take my place in all the midst of teasing.

Ha-LOOOOOO!!!!,
OMG...After 2 months of strenous, tiring, sweat-filled rehearsals practically everyday from 7-10pm...its finally over. We performed the musical "Working" from March 9-10.
It was such a blast! Even though the price was outrageous(but we won't get into that), we had a full audience and based on their reactions, THEY LOVED US!!! Then, we had to strike the set...in less than an hour it was all over and the stage was cleared once more...oh well. OH, last weekend I went to Chicago...heh heh heh...That was an interesting weekend...nuff said. So now it's March...2 more months! It's still a SENIORITIS spree!! While I don't have any more rehearsals...I'm still up to my hair folicles with things to do, decisions to make, etc. etc.
Actually other than my thesis, art show and UCAN, things are a bit more relaxed...I actually get 5 hrs of sleep...occasionally...
Whoops forgot to paste the last two updates...sorry

Hey y'all...yup, its that time of the year again. A day of love and romance, sweeties and honies, broken hearts and bad memories, wasted money and hi-cal chocolates...YES!!! Happy "time to look at all those lucky bastards who get flowers, chocolates, and expensive gifts from loved ones and wish you can gather each and every one of them, stick them all into a barn(disguised as a sweetheart hotel, or some crap like that), fill all the empty spaces with their flowers, chocolates, and gifts(well, keep the gifts to pawn off), douse a bit of gasoline, and wait for one of them to have a candlelight dinner"-Day!!! My love to everyone!!!

Hey my friends from all over,
All I have to say is 4 MORE MONTHS!!! I am psyched scared, and a whole buncha other stuff. Post-grad jitters!! WI, MD, US or another country? I have no clue where I'll be in a year.
My friends are going through it too. I've promised my friends that I'll be by for their graduations...sheesh at this rate I'll never leave Northland. The United Cultures At Northland is struggling by being more productive. My thesis is getting there. OH, and I'm in the Spring Musical "working". I play two people and some extras and I'm in the chorus, so that's been keeping me busy!
Well, I promised to update this over break so here it is...okay so it won't be much of an update, I apologize in advance.
I've been working throughout my break on my senior thesis, and on stuff for the Multi-Cultural Club. On an up point, I have only
1 and 1/2 semesters left!! WOOHOO!! By the way, here is a pic of me and my bestest friend Kimmy:
Oh and I wanna wish ya all a belated Merry Christmas and a wonderful Year 2000!!! No Y2K BUGS HERE!! Just Beans and Goobers!! Oh and I've
finally updated my Favorite Pals and Nature Camps, Inc Page!! Some other additions have been made too. Okay, Okay,so I did improve the site a bit more than I thought!!
Holy skidmarks on my underoos, Batman!! Ican't believe that it's been a month since my last update!! Have I been THAT busy?!
This summer has flown by so quickly! There's one week of camp left which means in three weeks I'll be headed back to...Da Da Dum Dum...College.
My last year at that. Imust be going through early 'senioritis' or maybe it's the 'end of the summer blues' cuz lately I've been really down...ANYWAYZ...
no real additions to my japanime world. I've been so busy with CAMP that I've almost become 'japanime anorexic'.
As for camp...yikes!! Two weekends ago, I joined most of the camp staff at the Assateaque/Chincoteaque Is. for some fun and sun. Now, imagine...20counselors...having just spent that whole Friday
being energetic and crazy, but also wholesome rolemodels for 100+ kids...most having riden 6 hours in a completely packed van...and have just arrived in a place with beaches, stores and a camper-free environment. What do you think happened?
UTTER CHAOS!!! We were almost thrown out! Even I, the incident/illness prone counselor, enjoyed completely unharmed...uh, except for getting stung by a jelly fish! Camp itself is awesome! No problems there, oh...on the to get extremely muddy a group of us were attacked by ground bees.
Yes...I got stung...twice...on the head. WELL it's almost over and I have nothing more to add. I hope to have one more update for you before I return to the dark depths of he...uh, I mean return to school!

Hey everyone, you're favorite goober here to catch you up on Cheekyland. Let's see, it's the second month of my summer vacation and while things started out great, it's beginning to go downhill.
First the cool stuff. I'm a camp counselor at Nature Camps, Inc. in northern Md. And let me tell you, it is such an awesome job. I've done some really cool things and I've met some awesome people!! I'll get into that in a separate page.
Unfortunately just when things are going good, I always tend to get hit by the nasty. First after a few weeks of feeling utterly miserable it all sums up to this. I have contracted Lyme disease and the worse case of poison ivy, I'm experiencing the side effect of the lyme meds and now
I have mono!! So I've been home for two days(missed two last week due to lyme) and I won't be back til Monday. So as of now, cheekyland sucks!!! Well Otakon 99 has come and gone. And while it was in Baltimore and my brothers, my cuz and I once again
had a hotel room(which was incredibly sweet), I didn't enjoy it as well as last year's. The reason being that I was incredibly sick(I kid you not) and
so I basically stayed in bed. I did, however, manage to go to the Dealer's Room and pick up some nifty merchandise, and later got down and dance the night away at the Dance.
I, again, went as Golden Girl Other anime stuff...something I missed while I was away at college is the new american-anime craze. I was introduced to this by one of my campers two weeks ago. Okay, when Sailor Moon came out, I admit I got into it. Dragon Ball didn't phase me...now...there's
this POKEMON?!! Apparently that's japanese for PocketMonster. I swear if I hear one more camper squeak...pi-KA-chu
I know, I know...all of you were probably wondering, "What the?! She hasn't updated since August! Is she dead? Where did she go?" Well, I'm really sorry. Actually, I was confronted with something more dark and sinister than death itself! It was scary let me tell you! But, in one more week it well be over...til next semester. Yes, my friends, I speak of college...shiver. Those of you who are already on summer break..GOOD FOR YOU...now Bug OFF!! I've been so swamped with classes, work, organizations, and theatre that I've barely had time to breathe! That,in addition to a lot of friendships and social crap, is why I've become anime-deprived. In the beginning of fall semester, I was able to introduce a few people to, and have found more people who love, japanime!!! Woo-hoo more minions under my clutches...sigh...unfortunately, school took over:(
To be honest, I haven't even watched any japanime since Christmas Break! Sacriligious!! But with summer coming up, I'll be able to catch up, hopefully. Of course, there's also Otakon 99(July 4th weekend, Baltimore Convention Center)! Am I going? Duh!!! It's going to be the same crew. My brothers, my fave cousin Lynn, and moi wil be spending Independence Day amongst a thousand or so crazy japanime fanatics in costume watching sub-titled videos and meeting really awesome japanime people. Who could ask for anything more? I'm so psyched...I can barely see straight...I need a japanime fix...hold on, I have to watch AKIRA...
TWO HOURS LATER...
Tetsuo...Kaneda...Tetsuo!!! Okay,okay...sigh...I'm back...wooh...Anyways
I have added, or will be adding this summer, a few new links and other things to this page. Included are recollections of Otakon. It will be for 98 but will be followed by the upcoming Otakon 99! Additions will also be added to the Kunou and Ranma pages. Also check out the special: "What's up Golden Boy?" And the Thought of the Week will also be up and running(they're the thoughts and quotes of my friends, famous people, and myself of course).
Well, its good to be alive again and hopefully I'll have no more traumas and dilemnas in my life...uh-huh, and Happosai hates ladies underwear!!
(Updated August 21)
update on its way...sorry folks!!
4/98
Welcome My Loyal Goobers!!
Yes...the rumors that you've heard are true. I am back!!!! And let me tell you...it has been one hell of a sophomore year(only a couple more weeks till I head home)!!
I can't wait to see my family and my best friend Kim, and, of course, all of our japanime videos. Oh!! I've also started an unofficial anime club. Basically
I hooked a few people onto Ranma 1/2(thanks to my dear older brother's videos), then to Akira, plus, we used to get up at 7:30am to watch Sailor Moon.
We will soon be watching Mermaid Scar. We even got our own personas(some more than one). Currently, I
am Akane, Tetsuo and Sailor Mars. What's amazing is that the crew has been able to find one person to fit each character of Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon!! This August, I'm going to OTAKON '98 in Crystal City, VA. The two cool things will be that one of my friends might be going with me and my brothers, and I might become a volunteer for them!!
One thing: Costumes will be a must!!! Crazy I tell you!!!!!!
(Updated July 30)
Well, I've been home for the summer for about 2 months(one month to go...boohoo). It's official my brothers, a friend and I are heading to the Otakon Aug 7th!!! This time we'll even have a place to stay!!!!! I'm going one day as the Panda-type Genma. I tried to get my older brother Will

Hmnmm, did I say I was going to update later in August? NO, I think I meant a month from my last update, really! Like not much happens in my life in less than a month anyway, so it's all good. Let's see what's been going on. Uh...oh, I went to the Renn Fest on Opening Day. 
VERY COOL! If you are in MD, or they have on in your state, Rennaissance Festivals are worth going to! I mean who can resist a guy in tights being extremely chilvarous, jousting, and LOTS of good 'ol ale:)(that is unless you're driving)??? 
He's my bro and only I can attack and insult him(LOL). He's off to Boot Camp(mwah hah hah) this summer, after he GRADUATES from High School! First he gets his license and now THIS! Dang, the years are catching up...is that a white hair??!!

Hey somebody, doncha wanna hear...the story of my life!
(Uh...huh...anywhoo)
? Apparently Cartoon Network has this program called Toonami where they show anime(once in the aft. for the younguns' then late at night for the mature). So 11pm Central, I've been joining 'da boyz for this show Gundam which is totally cool. Maybe I'll start a site for that(of course, NOTHING will ever replace Ranma and Golden Boy!!!)!
Hey Hey Hey, Guess what? In less than a week someone's having a big day? Can you guess who?...wink wink...
(PARTY TIME!!!)?), and College Jam 00!!! :)
(I hear...America Singing)
Kimmy and Me, Isn't she a doll:)
due to the fact that I was too sick and my job as a counselor kept me too occupied to come up with a better idea. Note for next year: Be Kione and prepare for costume early!
Also, I was supposed to meet Jon, a Jr. counselor at camp but we missed each other. I did, however catch up with two ex-counselors Josh and Justin so that was cool. Get this: Justin said he had found interest
in a 'new' japanime which turned out to be Tenchi Muyo. New?! I think not. He also made the mistake of buying #6 of the Ryo-ohki episodes which, everyone knows if you're new in the Tenchi World, you should start with the intro.
So we've made plans for them to come over and be oriented by the king of otaku...my older brother. While I had planned on this Otakon being my last, I hadn't planned on not enjoying myself as much so I am going to attemp to attend next years...The Millenium, baby!!
...one more time I'm gonna turn into an evil Blastoise. One day at camp I sat with a bunch of kids playing pokemon cards and one of them pulled out a HUGE poster of all these pokemons and proceeded in
matching each pokemon with a camper, counselor, etc. I was the evil blastoise(a turtle with cannons on its shoulder).
Why he chose that I have no clue. Well, other than that I have nothing else to write...so, til next time:

show(Dawson) is pretty cheesy and teenagers don't talk like that in real life, but like people who watch soap operas(or japanime) it was easy
to get hooked. Buffy, on the other hand, is just completely awesome. Also my other two favorite shows in the world are My So-Called Life and of course...
The X-files!!!! So coming soon...in homage to my favorite shows, I will have a special page for them. There are links to totally cool pages for these shows. I hope you enjoy!!
Go home!!!!
Come to Tatewaki Kunou...and be his forever!!
Discover japanime through the best anime site I know of!!
