Time for me to post pictures of either my favourite people or my favourite pictures of people...
This is Nathan. (though he's growing on me, he fits into the later category)
Nathan and I started our relationship out pretty rocky. Basically I started crying when I found out my little sister had a boyfriend.
I then decided it was necessary for me to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible. Well it wasn't my plan, but I basically freaked him out by making wierd faces at him, laughing and making tons of stupid and non-funny jokes when he was around.
Mel got angry at me cuz apparantly he thought I was crazy or something.
Anyways, a year later, now that he feels comfortable around me, he's decided his revenge, and we don't go any period of time with out him making the above face at me for an extended period of time.

Yeah, I cried a little too.
And pictures of your favourite people? Oh boy. This should be good.
Making faces?? I'm meeting my little sisters first ever boyfriend for the first time when I go home for Christmas. I'm pretty sure I'm going to kick him in the teeth.
That is a feakin' freaky picture!
thats an interesting display of facial features.. makes me wonder the context of that situation
i love feakin' freaky pictures too
hehe, I didn't notice the feakin until you did it kyler, and then I thought you made the typo.
The context was him trying to feak me out.
Dave if you're sister is sixteen and I think you said she is, I think it's perfectly acceptable to kick him.
That makes you an accomplice! Looks like I won't be going down alone.
Ah well, what are bestest best internet friends for, right? ;)
(that was a wink, I think I want to wink more in real life, it's such an awkward thing to do and have done to you... don't you think?)
i blantenly disagree dave. if you want to wink more in real life you can wink at me and i wont think its awkward.. i think whats more awkward is actually decidin to wink at someone, and realising that you cant wink at all, an the intended target see you closing your eyes repeatedly...
Kyler, has this happened to you?
Dave are you categorizing me with all the people you've met on the internet, I don't think that's appropriate, I have met you in real life.
I tried winking, it feels awkward doing it even if there is no one there. I am neutral about it being done to me. Usually only cute old people wink, so I'm ok with it.
i'm glad that creepy eye photos are the new hip thing for blog profiles....
(we're watching you)
Never have I been so, so creeped out by such sweet people.
STOP FRICKIN' STARING AT ME!!!!!
Kyler, that sounds like a challenge.
Cheryl, we have an annual once a year hang out, so yes I'm putting you in that category.
Ok, try think of winking this way; some guy at our school, lets say the guy who sent you that email on Mennoite dating (clearly trying to feel you out and see where you stand on dating outside your denomination). Now picture him saying something he thinks is witty and then winking at you. C'mon! That would be awkward.
Yea dudes, the eye photos are gnarly. Get rid of them.
Sweet people, eh?
Strange that you’ve also referred to me as a ‘man-eater’ fairly recently.
Oh yeah, don’t think I haven’t forgotten. I’m watching you. With my beady eye....
(how I wish my eye was more beady) (I’ll have to take another eye-picture with a bit more of a baleful squint in it....)
um dave, gnarly means awesome, so why would you want us to get rid of our pictures.
Rebekah, I'll post a picture soon of you with beady eyes, sound good?
Awww poor non-west coast people, you guys don't understand the diversity of the word "gnalry". Watch some Laguna Beach and you'll catch on to our slang.
umm...i'm gonna have to approve these pictures first....
cheryl it hasnt happened i jus think it would be funny to watch.. not to boast or anything but i have always been a half decent winker..(a.k.a. a mass murderer in the game wink murder).
clearly what comes to mind when the word gnarly is said is a hunched over old man, so im pretty sure it doesnt mean awesome
approve of mine rebekah???
HAha, oh Kyler, are you thinking of the word gnarled??
Sorry Dave, gnarly will always mean awesome, no matter what sort of hipster whippersnappers try to change it.
Ummm, zeb, I was not involved in any previewing of MY pictures.
but your pictures were cute, whereas I've been really ugly in many, many pictures.
*ahem*
from the Encarta World English:
gnarl·y (comparative gnarl·i·er, superlative gnarl·i·est)
Definition:
1. highly dangerous: extremely difficult, risky, and challenging ( slang )
gnarly surf off Santa Monica beach
2. excellent: extraordinarily good or pleasurable ( dated slang )
bought a gnarly skateboard
and from the compact oxford:
gnarly
-adjective (gnarlier, gnarliest)
1 gnarled.
2 N. Amer. informal dangerous, challenging, or unpleasant.
so Kyler is not wrong,
and neither is Dave.
and neither are you...except for when you said they were wrong.
i do approve of yours, kyler...how in the heck did you know how to spell my name??!
oh, it's on my profile.
bravo.
one day, you can come to my blog. that day will be a happy day.
How about from the Urban Dictionary (haha check out their example... I had to edit it though, can you guess which word I changed??)?
Gnarly
slang term for something extreme. Used in bad and good cases.
Originated from the word gnarled.
That was a friggin gnarly wreck man, that dudes head flew off.
Did you see that new Local Motion board? It is gnarly.
hahaha "that dudes head flew off" haha WHAT?!?
Thanks for the back-up Rebs. Cheryl can get out of control with needing to be right sometimes, it's crazy! I could tell you a story about when she got kicked out of class for it... but I won't
gnarly-gnarled same thinggg... but as rebecca said im not wrong so an old man could be defined as gnarly..
umm least you all are probably looking at the camera in your pictures, and not looking like a who from whoville.
rebs.. YOU ARE HARDCOREE, that was intense.
i think i got how to spell your name from one of jonathans posts. ha.. WHAT you have a blog to? totally there.
hahah.. i have a feeling daves definition is pretty much the best out of everybodys interpretation, i could see someones head flyin off being pretty gnarlyyy.
yeah, pretty much all those penners are like that...I think I may start carrying around a dictionary or something. Can't tell you how many times I've used a fairly ordinary word, only to be given guff over whether it was really a word or not.
example: steep. as in, what you do with tea.
they're all insane
oh dear
I admit, steep was a new thing to me. I'd never heard it before, I was sixteen!
And Kyler I am pretty sure reading your comment about the picture Roslyn posted of you made me laugh the hardest I've laughed all day (it's been a dive into crap kinda day)
I admit I'm wrong about the whole gnarly thing, ok?!
Dang those Penner Girls.
I changed my profile picture so Kyler can see what he has to look forward to next time I see him. This is what you get for challenging me Kyler!
Wait, back on topic.
That picture of Nathan is messed up. Couldn't you post cute pictures of your favorite people? Or are you still mad at him for kissing your little sister?
Dave. You mentioned a story, and that is a story I need emailed to me. doubtless421 athot maildot com
feel free to add it to MSN if you use that
Tom, he was making that up.
People generally don't get kicked out of college classrooms. But maybe I'll tell you about getting kicked out of class in gr. 6 and 7. French and band were my favourite. French was too hard and band was too easy, so I tended to lose focus easily.
Dave-gross and gross
well my nose an mouth look totally screwed up in that picture ..
its totally on Dave.. thats is quite the lovely picture, im probably going to call that a wink an a half. none the less you do have competition. its about 300 bajillion miles from gross cheryl
Yea Tom, that is something you should probably know about me, I'm kind of a liar.
And Cheryl, what? Your sister likes playing a little game called "kiss the mouth", it's not a big deal.
I'm not floored to learn it's not a real story... I was just hoping. A man can dream, can't he??
And I still recommend an MSN add if you can. I can be one of those useless MSNs you never talk to, but hold onto forever... just in case it never comes up. it'll be great.
Why do I miss everything!?!? Stupid job where I actually work all day and don't have blog parties. This is probably the funniest blog conversation of all TIME. You guys are truly hilarious. I can't even begin. Rebekah, do you have to always be an insufferable walking dictionary? The thing is my mother is like that too, so you'd think some of her dictionariness would have rubbed off on us Penner girls. Apparently not.
Cheryl, please remember to bring the video of our break-dancing to church tomorrow. I'll remember to return that johnny depp video and it'll be an even trade.
I'm going to say that I have mixed feelings about winking. A little from column A and a little from column B as far as good and bad goes. For example, it has been gross at times. Like when I was in grade 12 and the sleezy student teacher winked at me suggestively it was bad. However, my manager at work is really cute in a fatherly type way and once in awhile he winks at me and it's just cute. So it can go both ways.
Dave, I think you know which column your wink falls under
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I;m not quite sure where to start.
stupid school where i actually study all day and not have "SPREAD UNREASONABLE GOSSIP ABOUT CHERYL'S LITTLE SISTER" sessions!!! Next time someone starts posting pictures of my boyfriend and then other people obsessed with awkward situations attempt to make things uncomfortable could someone tell me so i could as someone earlier put it "kick him in the teeth"
ahem. all that said, that is a particularily fiendish picture of nathan, he really looks kinda creepy. Sometimes he looks like a gnome to, but only when he wears his gnome hat.
also i do think that kyler spelt rebekah correctly once, and then proceeded to spell it rebecca, and therefore should be stripped of his "bravo". I also don't like being catagorized into the all the penners tend to do it, misusing of words catagory.
in reading that comment i realized it sounds like quite a grumpy person attempting to deprive everyone of their joy, but really i'm normally quite a joyful person.
i love you mel.
Thanks rebekkah, unfortunately i think this post has already been passed by by most new-post hungery postaholics so no one is even noticing my outrage...
