Hi Cory!

I made it on Walmart.com at the start of the year =) Last month was one of my favorites; Opening Ceremony ^ _ ^

I really should do something like that. "All" I have is a desktop background slideshow with like 250 pictures rotating through it. :P

It was worth it. =) *sigh* I miss everyone! :'(

I knowwww!! Why do we have to wait until heaven before nationals-like fellowship can be never ending?? :) + :(

Because our mansion isn't ready yet? ;) I don't know…but there's just something about the fellowship at Nationals that I haven't quite found elsewhere. :')

decides not to yell :P Hey Cory! :)

Lol yea I think the only "modern" Christian artist that I know of who has some instrumental music is Neshama, but they only have two instrumental songs, "The Jam" and "The New Jam". They're an amazing acoustic band we saw at the music festival we went to.

Okay. All I listen to now is from the Galkin and Pettit evangelistic teams (most people don't even know who they are :P).

Heyyy! I love those groups! :D highfive

Because our mansion isn't ready yet? ;) I don't know...but there's just _something_ about the fellowship at Nationals that I haven't quite found elsewhere. :')

I totally agree. There's just something about Bible Bee people that's different, locally and nationally, and it's the people not necessarily the place, as we've seen BBers outside of locals and nationals and it has been amazing. feels a little nostalgia welling up inside again :P

Hia Cory!

Hello folks! Just as a warning, I may not be fully here, I'm studying harder than normal (and thus, getting on MV was probably a terrible idea xD xP)

Okay. All I listen to now is from the Galkin and Pettit evangelistic teams (most people don't even know who they are :P).

Yea, haven't heard of them. What kind of instrumental music do they play?

Hello folks! Just as a warning, I may not be fully here, I'm studying harder than normal (and thus, getting on MV was probably a terrible idea xD xP)

Hey, I went through all 800+ questions on the private study folder today, plus am doing double work on the DJ as well as other studying, so I get to take breaks here on MV. xD xP

I know…. BB'ers are just so special :'D hugs all around *Yes folks, that just happened, Cory's in a rare, and very very uncommon mood in which he feels the need to show his friends how much he needs them. Let us forget this ever happened and move on to the rest of our meaningful lives…* :D

You guys trying to make me cry? :P

Nooo!! *hands you a tissue*

Thanks. :P I miss BB!! sniff

tries to compose myself Okay, so Galkin and Pettit music is really similar. I'm not quite sure how to describe their music… maybe Rachel can help me. :P There's a lot of guitar in it, especially the Galkin music, but it's not really bluegrass.

No fair, I don't have Google Hangouts! :( :P

Wait whoops I thought they did instrumental music. *facede--recovers* :P

Oh, haha, yeah, most of it is vocal. I do have one CD that's mostly instrumental, but all the others are vocal. :P

Well, this is worth putting the book down... xP Cory giving hugs not just to one person, but to everyone? xP *sends hugs back* xP Oh, hi by the way. :P

notices how Marija was spying and only posts when Cory gave out hugs Whaat? :P :P

Sorry, I'm studying and not exactly paying the best attention on here. :P

I wasn't spying…. I was reading…. and maybe kinda spying…. xP xP

Zach, they do some instrumental, but mostly not. Katrina, let me see if I can help you. thinks They use a lot of piano, violin, cello, guitar, and penny whistle. I would say some of their songs have a Irish flare to them, but not all of them. A lot of their songs combine the afore mentioned instruments. :)

Yeah, Irish is probably the best way to describe it. :P Thanks; I usually have a hard time describing their music. xP

Haha! Don't expect any of that at nats though! xP jkish… sorta :P Cyber-hugs are much easier to execute than in real life, and nationals hugs don't necessarily fit the definition of hugs that Marija and I defined earlier, soooo xP

An Agatha Christie book. ;)

What's it about? I've never read any of those. :)

Well, they're mostly detective/mystery novels. I haven't really gotten far enough into this one to tell you what it's about yet, lol. xP

Ah, okay. Cool! xD

An Agatha Christie book. ;)

It sounds familiar, haven't read them though. How do you find good books nowadays anyway? Most modern girl books are romantic sentimentals, and most modern guy books are violent and bloody. :/

When you do, leave me a message on the other SC and let me know how you like it :D

Okay, will do :D

This is why I read mostly biographies. :P I do enjoy some fiction, but it's mostly older.
