Miscellaneous Stuff
EEK! Help me!
I swear I didn't use a computer to make this picture. It's actually a double exposure shot I made back when I took photography in 9th grade with Miss Holzeman. Ahh, the good ol' days...
Awww, what a cute little booger. This little critter is a white possum that comes up on our porch to eat the dog and cat food. It's just one of many possums that come, but it's the only white one. I don't think it's albino because it has brown eyes. It's just white. It's probably my favorite little creature out there. I'd like the raccoons too, but they ate my pet turtle I had outside, so I'm holding a grudge.
Tee hee hee... You know you want me... This is April Whaley, a friend of mine from Heber Springs, Arkansas. We met on ICQ back in May of 2000, and have grown to become quite good friends throughout the course of the year. She's supposed to be moving to Russellville at the end of the first semester of this year.
Come on, smile! It's our last year of high school! The one on the right is my friend Susi LeMaire. This shot is of her and one of her best friends, Chris Wright. I met Susi on ICQ a long time ago, and have become quite fond of her mainly because she's the only one that has ever called me just to talk on the phone.
Now how'd I get way out here in the middle of the woods? Here's another picture of Susi, minus her friend Chris.
Grrrr, baby! This is the picture Susi gave me when I went up to see her for her graduation.
Woof! Here's a nice little picture of our dog, Angel. She looks content as ever.
Vrooom, vroom!!! My dad needed to use up some film on his camera, so he took this one. It came out pretty well, I think.
Big pimpin... Here's a picture Olin Rankin took of me for his Vehicles spread in the 2001 Russellville High School Yearbook.

The End of the World
...or high school anyway...

Zzzzzzz... Huh? Oh, right, smile... Phillip Choi flashes a quick smile as I snap his picture at the lunch table.
Yeah, and did you hear about the time, Oh My! He took a picture! Nikki Barr and Nikki Holbrook are caught in one of those "reality" moments in which I decided to take a picture without telling them.
Smile! Afterwards they decide to pose.
C'mon guys, big hug! Rachel Bewley, Kelli Henderson, and Sarah Hindsman hug together for a quick shot.
Take it and die... Thomas Hollingsworth sits back at his lunch table with his gang.
Word up, homie G... Gary Metz takes it easy waiting for the lunch period to be over.
Alright guys, lunch is over. Erin Clayborn and Brittany Horton get ready to leave lunch.
Oh man, you've gotta try some of this stuff... Cassie Hilgerson looks stoned as I snap a quick shot of her trying to hide behind Emily Young.
Hum de dum de doo, time to go to class... Mark Harris travels the hallway passages of the high school to his next class.
Hey Janine, you should try some of this stuff... Janine Randles and Jessica Brown snack on some fruit at a little yearbook party.
You were right, Jessica. This stuff's great! Janine can't decide whether the food should be going in or out of her mouth.
Hey Mrs. Little, this food is good! More of Janine stuffing her face.
What do you want, I'm working! Carrie Harris turns around from her work to see what I'm up to, and unexpectedly gets her picture taken.
Remember, I control your grade! Here's a nice close-up of Erin Barnhouse, co-editor of the yearbook.
Hey Mikey, you gonna eat that? Olin Rankin and Mike Kelly sneak out of the room to roam the halls.

Fifth Grade Camp
Galloping Cow! Galloping Cow! Moo, Moo, Moo! Here's the whole gang in front of our cabbin at 5th grade camp. Quapaw cabin number 5! Galloping Cow, Galloping Cow! Moo! Moo! Moo!
Quapaw Rules! Here's another shot of the gang hanging out on our front porch.
Lookie what I caught! This little fish seems to have caught one of my campers!

Prom 2001
Spiffy, we are, no?
Here's a picture my dad took of Janine Randles and me before we headed to prom. I think this was the most I saw of her all night. Too bad the picture's out of focus.
Lets get rockin! Here's another of us before we headed on out.
Hey, it's too dark in here for the shades! Rebecca Brown was flashing people (with her camera), so I jumped in front of her to get my picture taken. I guess she didn't want the memory, because she gave me the picture.

Random Pictures of Friends
Mr. Lonon's class goes out for a walk : Starring Rachel Trusty
Hmmm, I sure am glad Zelnick hasn't come here yet today.
Rachel Trusty draws up an old baby picture of herself for art class while I sneak up behind her to take a picture.
What the heck is he up to now? I still don't think she knows exactly what I'm doing here.
Tee hee hee... You know you want me... Rachel Trusty tries to ignore me and continues on with her drawing.
Good grief, is he still here? Rachel takes a step back to check out the overall view of her newest drawing.
Gyah, that's some good stuff... Look at that trouble maker. She looks completely stoned out of her mind!
Awww, isn't that cute... Here's a picture of the picture Rachel was drawing. It's one of her baby pictures. No page is complete without baby pictures.
Dear God, is he FOLLOWING me?!? I think she's finally gotten used to me taking all of these pictures. In all honesty, I just wanted to play around with Olin's camera to see how well it worked.
Look at us, we're walking! Here I tried to snap a picture of Rachel and I, but obviously it didn't work. That camera's not an easy thing to point backwards.
Who's that weirdo? Here's another attempt at a picture of us out on our walk with Mr. Lonon's class. It didn't work out well either. Who's that ugly guy over on the right?
La de da de da, taking a stroll around the football field. Yet another picture of Rachel walking down to the back of the football field.
Everything looks so different from back here. I can't believe Mr. Lonon actually took us all out for a walk like that. He never did it with our class last year. I just held the camera sideways and snapped a quick picture.
<sings>...the skies are blue, the clouds are white...</sings> Here's a nice picture looking up at Rachel. It's got the big blue sky as a backdrop. I think I just took this holding the camera up at my waist.
He's still there, isn't he? Rachel looks back to see if I'm still tagging along behind the rest of the gang, which is going through the building to get to the very back of the football field.
When will this guy ever leave me alone?!? I convince Rachel to turn around to look at something and quickly snap a picture. How cleaver of me.
Gee, get him away from me! Here's another quick shot taken from the side that shows how we've gone all the way to the back of the visitor's side bleachers.
Guys, wait up! There's this weirdo after me with his camera! The school owns a lot more land than you'd expect. The class walks on down through the fields while Rachel runs to catch up.
Time to pack up. Back in the classroom, Rachel squares up her papers to get ready to leave for her next class.
Too many papers... Rachel files away papers into a nice little stack, refreshed from the class's little walk.
Get in there... Rachel continues to file away papers.
Zelnick, what are you doing now? Confused at all the beeping of my camera, Rachel looks up to see if I'm STILL taking pictures of her. Indeed I am.
Look at me, I'm Rachel! To finish off the disk I have in the camera, I take a few more pictures just holding the camera at weird angles under her head.
Super Rachel! These are actually fairly good close-ups, considering I couldn't see what I was doing.
I'm cool... Duh...

That's all, folks!

For now...

Olin Rankin checks out for the rest of the day : Zelnick gets to use the digital camera again!
<munch, munch, munch> Nikki Barr, Christi Bauer, Kelli Henderson, Phillip Choi, Eric Duerr, and Sarah Hindsman sit down for a nice lunch.
Hey, wait a minute, what's he doing with that camera? The cameraman moves to the other side of the group to get the faces of everyone he missed in the first picture.
I bet Zelnick's in there taking some pictures of some really weird people! Olin Rankin stops to talk to someone before taking off. I bet he didn't know I got this picture of him!
But... Janine Randles talks business with the yearbook staff.
Hmm... This tastes funny... Rachel Trusty munches on an apple in Mr. Lonon's class.
Now where'd I put my homework? Rachel gets ready to start class.
Ah, here it is. Checking over her homework, Rachel feels fairly confident about this whole chemistry "mole" thing.
Wait, that's not it. Rachel thumbs through a few papers to make sure everything's straightened up.
Could this be it? Still flipping through pages, Rachel takes another bite of her apple.
Ah, found it. That apple sure does look good. Hey Rachel, got another?
Why don't you go take that camera and....... Rachel makes a face at the camera. How silly.
Quick, before Mr. Lonon gets back! Kristen Kaufman, Alicía Walters, and Rebecca Brown quickly chalk up some silly stuff before Mr. Lonon gets back to the room from the fire drill.
Whew, lets get outta here! Alicía dusts off her hands while she and Rebecca make a quick getaway.
<sigh>Back to work.</sigh> Rachel Trusty settles back in after returning from the fire drill.
And to think I always thought a mole was a cute little furry mammal... Rachel takes a couple quick notes before Mr. Lonon starts class.
... Rachel mysteriously disappears somewhere, but my good friend Mr. Chair poses for a great shot.
Hmm, I wonder what's for dinner... Jason Lee gets a little bored and twiddles his thumbs in chemistry.
I bet it's roast beef, potatoes, and green beans. My favorite! Deep in thought, Jason starts to look up to see what Mr. Lonon is up to.
Just some random pictures I've taken with the camera I use for yearbook photography.
Check out THESE pearly whites! On the way back home from taking a picture of Brittany Allison's bedroom, I stopped by to see if Rachel Trusty wanted me to take a picture of her room as well. Failing that, I decided to go ahead and just snap a picture of her pretty smile. I think she actually likes this picture!
I got ahold of Olin's camera again, and ran off to play.
Wonder if I can make it to the trash can... Janine Randles tries to throw something at someone, likely me.
Wow, I have hair! Janine discovers a new body part attached to her head - Ears are fun.
Mike's such a hottie... Mike Kelly stares blankly into space as Janine stares blankly at Mike.
Zzzzzzz......... The yearbook's done and there's not much to do. May as well sleep.
Hmm, what's this? Janine pokes around at something she finds on the desk...
...I think I'll throw it... ...and then throws it at Ryan Bills (off camera)...
Haha, I hit Bills! ...and then laughs at him...
Wait a minute, that's not funny! ...and then realizes...
...now why'd you do that? ...he's throwing it back...
WTF are you doing with Raines's camera? Jared Fitzgibbon thinks I have Mrs. Raines's digital camera, as it is a Sony Mavica as well, and gives me a curious stare.
You are so f'ing dead. Jared gets a bit agitated as I lead him on about having Mrs. Raines's camera.
Wait, gimme those back, I'm gonna get him! Rachel Trusty (off camera) quickly grabs the sharp scissors from Jared as he prepares to stab me for taking what he thinks is Mrs. Raines's camera.
...die... Jared gives me a "go to hell" stare after I tell him I'm really using Olin Rankin's camera.
Do wha...? Who's got Bawls? Clayton Paty looks up to see what all the commotion is all about.
Whistle while you work... <Whistles> You knew it would happen sooner or later - more pictures of Rachel Trusty.
Ok, fine, just ONE picture... Rachel starts putting away art supplies.
I swear to God, if you even THINK about putting these on Galloping Cow... Jared warns what will come of me if I dare put these pictures on my site.
Hmm, time to pack up... Rachel finishes up her packing to get ready to head to Mr. Lonon's chemistry class.
How could you refuse these big brown eyes? Those eyes...Oh God, those EYES! Wow...
I like cheese... Another nice close-up of Rachel right before we all head out to our next classes.
The yearbook is published, and I finally get a chance to dig through our stack of pictures!
Wow guys, you should have seen it!

Here's another nice picture of my gang at lunch. This was actually taken near the beginning of the year when we could eat outside. It's just now making it to GC because it was sent away to be published in the yearbook.
Clockwise from left to right, Sarah Hindsman, Eric Duerr, Rachel Bewley, Nikki Holbrook, Phillip Choi, Nikki Barr, Kelli Henderson, and Christi Bauer.

Is this a big knife I see in front of me? C'm'ere! Mrs. Little came to my English class one morning while Jeana Rogers, Bryan Bramlett, and I were doing a skit on a modernized version of Macbeth.
Alright guys, we enter here during the banquet and load up virus.html onto the computers as fast as we can... Jared Fitzgibbon, Matt Farrar, Rye Bailey, and Josh Higgins gather around with their various areas of knowledge to plan out ultimate world destruction. With the help of CAD programs, HTML, and a folder with information on the school's banquet of excellence, world domination should be no problem!
If he takes a picture, I swear I'll kill him... Mrs. Little wanted me to get some pictures of people with exotic styles of clothing, and who better than Angie Jennings to model this gothic/Renaissance style?
Yeah, stand there and take my picture. I'll have your head... Here's another picture of Angie "walking the runway" so I can get a better shot of her flowing gown.
Oh, hold still. You'll smudge the paint! Beth Scott helps out with the art club, painting faces at the Sequoyah Fun Fair. Not only has she found a new fame in the 2001 yearbook, but she's also been recognized on the infamous Galloping Cow.
This won't hurt a bit, I promise.... Bwahahahahahaha!!! Cassie Hilgerson, also in the art club, helps out a bit as well.
Yeah, you may be able to take pictures, but I can draw up a mean looking skull... Here's a somewhat creative shot of Jared Fitzgibbon drawing something ingenious, with a nice background of other works of art from the art class.
I'm on a mission, and I'll be darned if I'll let some photo jock get in my way... Still looking for more shots of interesting clothing, Mrs. Little had me stop Joanna in the hallway and take a picture of her walking by.
I'm a model, can't you tell? Kerryn Johns sits waiting for the yearbook staff to take club photos. Whitney Bartlett also sits on the stage in the background.
Hum de dum de doo... The all-too-famous Rachel Trusty draws up something in art class.
I sure wish I could draw like tha...oh, wait, I CAN! Another attempt at a creative shot with the art class's work in the background.
Lets see, bomb site A will be guarded heavily... Rachel tries to work out her plans of mass destruction.
Yes, we have a caucasian male, approximately 5 foot, 9 inches tall... Been known to leave flowers on the cars of young ladies after school... Here's a picture from when Rachel and Chris Sanderock were going out. He was up to a bit of vandilization, writing strange things on her car, and leaving bizarre shrubs and flowers on the windshield. Ryan Miller investigates the scene.

Jennifer's Surprise Birthday Party
Meaw! Jennifer's cat, Deuce Biggalo, comes out to party.
Hee, hee, hee... Take my picture! Kelli Henderson smiles for the camera while Jennifer Hawkins ingeniously hides behind a tiny balloon animal, making it virtually impossible for the cameraman to see her.
There's no question about it, I'm the man. Eric Moore sits with horns on his head, red in his eyes, and Nikki Barr on his lap while Ryan Roberts kicks back to relax on the other side of the table.
Awww, shux guys. Jennifer Hawkins gives up and finally decides to show her pretty face rather than hide it behind a tiny balloon animal.
EEK! ZOMBIE!! Phillip Choi, the newest member of our group, and exchange student from Korea makes sure not to let his eyes glow red for the camera by rolling them back into their sockets.
Hey guys, what happens when the bottle points at me?

Everyone gathers around in a circle to talk, tell stories, laugh, sing, tell jokes, invoke evil spirits, and play spin-the-bottle. Meanwhile, Jennifer seems a bit hesitant while everyone begins chanting the archaic spells and spinning the infamous glass bottle.

(No one was harmed or kissed in the making of this picture)

Isn't that cute. Eric Duerr leans over onto Sarah Hindsman for a cute picture. Too bad the flash didn't go off and the picture was too dark. I did my best to brighten it up and increase the contrast a bit so now you can at least tell who's in the picture.
Look into my eyes... Nikki Holbrook tells stories while Jennifer Hawkins listens, eyes and ears wide open while Wendy Newman sits back to enjoy the rest of the party.
Future circuis clown and balloon-twister. Eric Moore grins with a balloon hat he has created for himself.
Twist, Squeak, Twist, Squeak! Ryan Roberts, having too much free time, decides to twist a balloon animal of his own.
Snap *FLASH* Looks like I'm not the only photographer here! Nikki Holbrook whips out a camera of her own to catch some of the action.
The little man drank it all, I promise! Ryan Roberts shows off his latest creation, a balloon man on a bottle.
Aww, what a cute little cat. Nikki Barr teases Deuce Biggalo with a balloon animal mouse.
Ooh, ooh, take my picture! Things suddenly become brighter and more lively as Kelli Henderson prances into the room.
BWHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Eric Moore gets a little carried away with his balloon horns, thinking he is an overlord towering over his minions in the room.
<sounds of a crowded room> Wendy Newman, Ryan Roberts, Phillip Choi, and Nikki Holbrook gather around with the rest of the group to talk.
So what do you guys wanna do now? The party starts winding down as Wendy Newman, Nikki Barr, and Eric Moore sit around the room talking.
Ooh, another picture! Kelli Henderson leans over to give the cameraman a big smile while Sarah Hindsman sits listening, deep in conversation.
Uh huh.. Yeah.. That's what I heard.. What about you? Sarah Hindsman and Eric Duerr sit in the party circle, talking with the group about various topics such as recent happenings, music, school, work, and water buffalo.

My First Big Pool Party
This bed sure is comfy! The second one to show up at my pool party, Ryan Roberts gets perhaps a bit TOO comfortable on my bed.
Sup, yo? Rachel Trusty, the first arrival, graces us with her presence at the party, but only for a short while before she has to head off to another party. What a party animal!
Next we've got some George Harrison with "My Sweet Lord..." Grant Merrill jazzes up the party with some tunes from my MP3 playlist. We couldn't get him to swim, but at least we had something to dance to!
EEK! Don't take my picture! Nikki Holbrook, Rachel Trusty, and Ryan Roberts sit back and relax on the only place with any room for sitting, my bed. Woohoo! Rachel seems a bit camera shy this time.
That's some good stuff there! <cough> I don't know if I snuck up on her when I took the picture, or if she was just completely stoned out of her mind. Either way, we were blessed with her presence at the party.
Yummmmmmm....

I look at this picture, and all I can think is, "YUMMMMMMMIE!"

What? Eric's eating a gummy worm. I love those things! Sheesh.
Sarah Hindsman and Eric Duerr munch on worms while Rachel and Jennifer are hanging out, laughing, and generally having a good time.


Olin's Makeover Party
Gyarsh, I'm purdy... Hanging out at Olin Rankin's place over the summer, Brent Vining sits back in wonder after being made over by the infamous makeup artist Nikki Holbrook I don't know which one of them had more fun.
This eye liner will really bring out your gorgious brown eyes! Nikki goes back for some finishing touches on Brent before we head out to the Waffle House to grab some grub.
Hey baby... Brent poses for the camera, ready to go out for a night on the town, drag style. Unfortunately he made us wash off most of the makeup before we went to the Waffle House. We managed to get him out still wearing eye liner though. For some reason he refused to look anybody we met in the eye.

Stefanie's Going Away Party
Yeah, whassup?!?

Kelli Henderson, Nikki Holbrook, and Stefanie Reider all hang out in Nikki's room to say goodbye to our wonderful German friend Stefanie. We miss her a bunch. Hope we get to see you again soon, Stef!

Check out Nikki's red demon eyes! EEK!

Gahyuk, I'm cool! I'm surrounded by hot chicks! The whole gang poses for another picture. From top left to bottom right, they're Nikki Holbrook, Stefanie Reider, Sarah Conley, Me, Kelli Henderson, and Sarah Hindsman. I think the shutter stayed open for a second too long, giving the effect that Sarah Conley's face is on fire.
