One Year Ago Today

Brittany and Daniella are both blogging together today. (Daniella is pink as usual and Brittany Green)

It's hard to believe it, but one year ago today, in a moldy old high school, two freshmen named Daniella and Brittany were very pissed off. Why, you ask? Because the Roman Catholic Church was making all these objections to their favorite show in the entire world, aka South Park. Brittany got so pissed off that, seeing as she'd never really been that much of a religious person anyway, she renounced her faith. She then apologized to God, saying that he should come down here and run the Catholic Church cause in her opinion, they were doing a shitty job. Seeing as she had no religion but wasn't sure if she wanted to join another, she decided she would make her own, based on South Park.

Shortly before first period, Brittany told Daniella of this awesome idea, and Daniella agreed. A couple of hours after that, when they saw each other in hell (just kidding, it was earth science...close enough) they decided that instead of just joking about it, that they would actually create this religion, although they had their doubts.

Who wouldn't have doubts? People doubted them from the start, Brittany was questioned numerous times why she had 'South Parkism' written accross her hand. No one seemed to think what they were doing would work or was even a sane idea, but the two continued, determined to make a difference and prove that the show was amazing enough to pull people in around the world.

Down on their luck, only a few of their close friends seemed to listen. They didn't quit though and prayed that soon something would change their luck around, something that would show everyone they had a point, something, like Abby. Daniella, a few days after their realization was sitting home minding her own buisness when an alert popped up on her screen. "One new e-mail." She clicked it expecting the normal junk that filled her box but saw something she hadn't seen before. "NEW MESSAGE FROM FORUM." Confused, she clicked and saw the one thing she had been praying for, Abby. The first member out of state that didn't solely join because she knew them. At that point she knew their lives were changed forever, and backing out was no longer an option.

Once Abby joined, the members seemed to start pouring in from all over for us. There was Carsen, Teri, Carolyn, Raquel, Stephanie, Grant, Stephanie, and many more. We were both shocked and ecstatic at the same time that people from out of state were joining, at the rate of 2 or 3 members per month.

And to think that all of this occurred over the past year, is mind boggling. I remember the first drafts of South Parkism that we did over our lunch period. People in the library looked at us really weirdly.

It's really hard for me (and I know for Brittany too) to put into words how much this really means to us. An entire year of our lives spent with these wonderful people. We thank you all so much and we hope you stay dedicated to South Parkism because in a year maybe well have doubled our numbers.

We celebrated last night by going to a Sweet 16 of someone I knew when I was 5 who Brittany never even met. When we got back to my house we made ninja scarves (hense the pictures of us in yoga moves from gym pretending to be ninjas, yeah we got bored fast.) and donned our South Park neon boxers (still on sale at comedycentral.com). Things got serious though when we realised the clock read 12:01 and it was the official aniversary of South Parkism. Today's such a big day for us and we wanted to thank you all for making it possible. This has changed our lives and we hope it's changed yours too.

We also made "interviews" of each other on how this has changed our lives so much so feel free to watch that. Ignore the tired looks we had spent hours at a Sweet 16 and it was about 12:30 when we made these.
