Are You Afraid?
Submitted by Sparkelle on Thu, 2005-11-10 10:25. community | culture | entertainment | sportsIt was a cold dark day before Rugby playoffs everything was going well when all of a sudden the entire Bryn Mawr Haverford team turned and ran screaming hysterically at one of their players. No they had not gone crazy, nor did they decide to rebel against one of their own, instead they were helping a teammate conquer one of the teammate's worst and most reasonable fears: 30 angry rugby players running at her at once.
How far will we go to conquer our fears?

Beyond Sketchiness
Submitted by Sparkelle on Tue, 2005-11-01 21:21.In the Men’s Health Magazine for September 2005 there was an advertisement that epitomizes sketchiness.

The Skulls and Bryn Mawr
Submitted by Sparkelle on Fri, 2005-10-14 12:31.The only thing Yale knows about the Skulls secret society is that it has the highest water bill on campus, even higher than the Olympic size swimming pool.
It would be idiotic to think that secrets are nonexistent in a school like Bryn Mawr, a school that is over 100 years old.
What lies beneath the halls of the Bryn Mawr castles?

Blog love: the farie tales of the internet world
Submitted by Sparkelle on Sun, 2005-09-04 12:10.Growing up as a child surrounded by the wonderful world of disney i fell in love with love stories. I read all of the books and saw all of the movies, and by the age of five came to one conclusion: every story has a happy ending. I truely believed that one day when i would meet that perfect guy, fall madly in love and live happily ever after. I was the most optimistic child you could meet, surrounded by happy memories: my life was perfect and fun.
However since the age of five my life has changed dramatically. I fell into the synicism hole, lost trust in myself and wished that i could one day enter a world where everything would be all right and that nothing went wrong, everone was happy, and no one died.

Submitted by Sparkelle on Tue, 2005-08-30 13:36. communityMy parents were hippies, yes real hippies, they were both from arround New York City and grew up in the 1960s. My dad was a "starveing artist" who loved to fish and came from a traditional Irish catholic family, and my mom sew, took care of animals, and was from a tradational Jewish family. So it was a scandel when they got married. They made a vow when they got married that they would have dogs not kids, but then as time passed they had my brother. Two years later they had my sister and another five went by before i was born. My brother and sister an I are very close, and as cheezy as it sounds my big sis is my best friend.
