BSC '07

[janey83]

We know the girls as their 80s/90s selves, with day-glo sweatshirts, famous cities skirts, sparkly nail polish, etc. What would the girls be like in 2007?

I already mentioned in the Mallory's glasses thread that Mallory would complain about not being allowed to get Lasik surgery.

Other predictions?

**Dawn would start saving up to buy a hybrid car. She'd also be sending out email forwards about how to stop global warming, green living, etc.

**Stacey would have the latest gadgets, prob. a sidekick or blackberry.

**Kristy would send out emails to her Krushers, and maybe even have a website dedicated to them.

**Mary Anne would be all about the reality shows, getting sucked right into the drama. Her cell phone would have Tigger as the wallpaper.

**Claudia would be heavily into graphic design on the computer, and I guess finally get her own computer.

**Jessi would have classical music on her ipod and constantly be dancing around everywhere.

**Logan's screenname would be lognluvsma07

Haha and Stacey's screen-name would be something like NYC Gurl or Stacey+(whatever guy she's with)=Luv, whilst Mary Anne's would be I (heart) my Kitty ;D

Mallory would probably be all into fantasy stories, like Harry Potter and stuff.
I don't think Claudia would be smart enough to figure out graphic design. She can barely work word in one of the BSC books!

^ I'll bet she would figure it out, though. I think Claud is smart enough to do anything she tries to do - like the Personals column (though she did need a bit of help from spell check. ;D)

It's pretty cool to think about. Haha, MA and reality TV.

[sotypical42483]

hah well I'm of the opinion that Claudia isn't smart enough to figure anything out. Nor would she ever actually have enough motivation, imo.

I want to know which program she used in that book. Just for fun, I once typed in Claudia's personal ad in Word (exactly as she wrote her first draft) and spellcheck had trouble finding alternate spellings for most of the words.

[aln1982]

My dad has a guy who sits next to him at work and constantly has to ask dad how to spell stuff so he can get it close enough for spell check. ;D And dad isn't the greatest speller, himself. This always makes me think of Claudia. Also shows me that spelling doesn't indicate smartness since the guy is a really smart engineer with a grad degree working at a nuclear power plant but he just can't spell. ;D

by the end of the series claud did have a computer in her room.

[aln1982]

^ I think I remember that. And Janine always had one. ;D I remember what a big deal that was at the beginning of the series. It's odd to think about now but I do remember those days when I was dead-set against getting a computer....(I have never dealt well with change ;D) Now, I couldn't live without mine. ;D

[blossom114]

oh heck, i've had a computer since i was in kindergarden...of course that was the old apple mac's or whatever... heheh i learned to type... and played games, and laerned my state capitals and abbreviations...god i sound like a nerd.
Wasn't Stacey's sn on her compuer something like NYGAL? how ...plain... haha

[baseballchica03]

^^ It's funny that her sn was NYGAL. Now it'd have to be like NYGAL3528692 since there'd be so many people with the same thing. Or maybe it's too lame for people to have chosen it.

Also, blossom, don't feel badly about being a geek! I played a game with flags of the world and capitals, too.

The BSC would totally have their own website, and accept jobs via e-mails in addition to meetings. And they'd have their own group on Facebook.

Stacey won't have a fluffy blone perm. Instead she'll own a flat iron and have poker-straight hair all the time. (I may be a bit guilty of that myself

In addition to Mary Anne watching all the reality tv shows, she'll spend a lot of time reading Hollywood gossip sites.

Mal and Jessi will join a Misty of Chincoteague forum and discuss the Misty books for hours on end with total strangers (oh, the irony!).

HAHAHA good one. i wonder if there are any?

[aln1982]

^ Not sure. There are definitely tons of horse related forums but I don't know of any about horse books. Of course, I've only just heard about the horse forums and don't actually go to them and this one is the only other one I'm on so I'm not very "up" on it.
