Oh my gosh!!! This list totally reminded of so many things from when we were roommates. Like when we'd go to the park and all the seagulls would come and you'd freak out. Or that time we had a guitar in our apartment for some reason and you kept making up versions of the song from the Wedding Singer and you'd strum the same guitar chord (if it was a chord) over and over. It's making me laugh out loud right now. Wow. Memories. I think we have you on tape playing that guitar. And do you remember that video we made for our stupid English class? I would love to watch that again. Did you know that you can take your VHS tapes to certain places and they'll make a DVD of it? If you ever do it, I'll TOTALLY pay for a copy of all our Courtside hijinks. Okay, long comment. Sorry, but this post just made me so nostalgic. We had so much fun - thanks for all the memories!
Yea!!! I've seriously checked your blog every day waiting for this! Just know that I don't hate you ;) And I had no idea that N Sync even had that many CD's!
Wowsers that's a great 100 things! I learned even more about you. I don't hate you either, and I don't know anyone who does! I liked that you were best friends with Richie before Ryan. That's funny!
Schuyler,
I have been waiting for this! I have always had trouble with my name too. It used to bug me, but I've gotten over it. Now DOUG is bugged when people call me Ellen or Irene or Elaine. Just be assured that I love you. I can't wait to see you all the end of this month. (I Hope!)
Rachel- they really don't have that many cds, I've just collected a lot of import cds and their import singles. That's how I have 23...
Heather-I've totally wanted to copy those videos, I just haven't gotten around to it. I will definitely let you know when I figure something out! Thanks for all the memories! I haven't changed much from when we lived together.:)
DUDE!!!!! I totally miss you. Like Heather said, it brought back SO many memories of our days at Courtside! And our pink bunkbed and our car game (I'm sure you remember - Car, Car, Truck, Le Bus!) And our playdough fight and throwing balls at the ceiling to see who could throw them the most consecutive times...did we EVER study?
I totally love you!
P.S. I have so much admiration for you for writing your 100 list so fast! I've been working on mine for like 2 months. I'll think of something totally random in the middle of the night and think I should put it on that list, and then of course I forget. But soon enough I'll be done. I think I'm on #60 or something. I'm a dork.
Those were great Schuyler! Wow, I learned a lot. :)
Thank you so much for posting that. I have become a total blog-stalker, and yours has been disappointing me lately (due to lack of posts), but that totally made up for it. It all made me miss you so much. I keep hoping that you guys will surprise us and show up in Punta Cana next week. I, too, have been working on a list, but it is really hard, and all my things are lame. Well, keep posting so I can be updated on your life, and hopefully we will get to see eachother one of these days. Can you believe it has been over a year? Expect an update e-mail sometime soon.
Love, Katie
Yea! I too have been waiting for a new post. I hope you know by now that you are very much loved by many! It was so fun to read through your list. It sounds like you and Ryan are doing great, I am so happy for you two. By the way, how is my punctuation? :) Love ya
Meg
I'm glad your back to blogging! What makes you not like it anymore? Love your list! Anyways hope your doing good. And don't worry about having kids because they are so much fun!
hey ryan - liked your list. visit my in maryland sometime! love, gillian, gillnewman@yahoo.com
I love your list, Schuyler, and Ryan's too. I found out all sorts of things (even random weird things) that I have in common with both of you. It's comforting. :) I made a list of 100 things for Andy and he claimed he already knew all of them. Maybe I'll share them so everyone can read them.
Good list Schuyler! I am sure you're not hated by everyone, I love that you love organizing and making lists too and I'd love updates on celebrity gossip. It is great to know you a little better now.
Hello Ryan, I found your blog from our friend's blog from BYU. We didn't know you got married but Congratulations to both of you!! Thanks for the compliment on our kids.
