Koldcast.tv put together a great timeline – one the recaps the baddest that made their onscreen prey the saddest. AND… there’s a shout out to OJ! Check it out here.
Bullies come and go. Some are worse than others but they all have one thing in common. They’re memorable. If your younger years were shortened by wedgies or cruel and unusual nicknames, hopefully, they don’t come back to haunt you nightly. (Yes, we said shortened. If a cig takes 30 seconds off your life, it’s likely one run in with a bona-fide meanie-pie will do the same.) If they are squashing your dreams, perhaps you’re in need of a dream catcher?
It’s hard to ignore bullies, we know. Usually your options are slim. You can suck it up or…. uh, run.

Hello again from OJBG!
We’ve just finished putting together the first edition of The Juice, an eZine by Orange Juice in Bishop’s Garden, and it’s available on the OJBG Home Page.
BUT… since you’re one of our favorites 
we’ve attached The Juice eZine for you to download or print.
In case you don’t know the history of ‘zines, here’s a lil’ blurb (see Wiki for more):
A zine (an abbreviation of the word fanzine, or magazine; pronounced /?zi?n/ “zeen”) is usually any self-published work of minority interest usually reproduced via photocopier on a variety of colored paper stock.
They’re generally written in a variety of formats, from computer-printed text to comics to handwritten text. Small circulation zines are often not explicitly copyrighted and there is a strong belief among many zine creators that the material within should be freely distributed. In recent years a number of photocopied zines have risen to prominence or professional status and have found wide bookstore and online distribution.
Notable among these are Giant Robot, Dazed & Confused, Bust, Bitch (magazine) and Maximum RocknRoll.
Enjoy! Also, we’d love feedback and suggestions for the kinds of topics you’d like to see.
Best,
All of us at OJBG

You better appreciate today, because tomorrow is just going to be worse…
So here’s the thing. You have freedom of choice. BUT not freedom from consequence. I think that is the #1 lesson I learned as a teenager. What makes summer feel so inconsequential and allows the freedom to live in the moment? Is it the sun or the relaxed attitude or the fact that you really don’t HAVE to be anywhere the next morning? Well– guess what– if you do live in the moment– prepare to suffer! Awesome. um, NO.
Tomorrow is going to be worse…!
And what about Colin?? This isn’t just standard older brother over-protective crap. Colin has been cold and downright mean– and we’re not talking about just one day. Something is up. What is bothering him? He isn’t normally like this. He and Kris used to be so close. But these days– well, who knows.
Is Kris trying to get through to him or has the summer haze (& a desire for nigiri) just clouded her thoughts
…watch episode 6 and you can be the judge.

The sixth episode of “Orange Juice” is up on the official OJ page, for your viewing pleasure.
A brief synopsis: What is eating Colin Mitchell? Kris’ step-brother just hasn’t been the same since they moved here. She tries to understand, but he doesn’t let her in, he just rags on her… so she steals his car instead. Illegal sushi run! Oh and did I mention there are togas? Enjoy, and stay tuned.

So, the thing about Episode 5 (and quite frankly most of Season 1 of OJinBG) is that friends can be your salvation OR they can make you want to lick razor blades. Especially in high school. On one hand…Friends can make your life blissed-out, where you feel like you’re living in the Beatles’ “Hard Day’s Night”. And there is always that one friend who makes you braver, bolder, more comfortable. The “living in a music video, the crowd loves you” friend… the “Hard Day’s Night friend”.
But…friends aren’t always there for you when you need them though. That’s when the “licking razor blades” metaphor kicks in: when the people who make you brave actually end up letting you down. How do the same people who make you feel brave, also make you second-guess yourself? Choosing friends who are good for you and good to you… is not exactly 2nd nature it seems.
And then, there is your family– and your siblings. Sibling rivalry can, and almost always does, get even more complicated, more ugly, more supportive– and back again. With your sisters/brothers– you know them backwards & forwards. Except, sometimes we think we know everything about them just because we watch them eat breakfast. And, well, it isn’t necessarily true.
Episode 6 features Kris & her brother Colin, who used to be close ?– but something is eating Colin Mitchell up. It’s ruining him. And Kris can’t get close so she just gets mad. And steals his car. Keep watching for Episode 6…it will be released online on Friday Dec. 4th.

What’s the key to attraction? You know, like what makes two people click? Or clique?
Friendships require a level of attraction that isn’t totally different from a romantic attraction. Both have strings attached. Those strings usually hold you together through thick and thin but sometimes someone makes the cut. And why does there always seem to be competition beneath the surface of these bonds? It drives you to make decisions based on what your bf, gf or bff (wtf, too many acronyms) will think, or do. Yes, the ones we hold dearest have the ability to make us see clearest; that said, what goes on between lovers and friends—not always the sincerest.
Say what you will about the birds and the bees—love gets the best everyone at one point or another. It’s always the person that makes your knees weak, heart race or gives you a speech impediment in a matter of moments. Do you remember what it was about the person—what the special ingredient was in their voodoo mating call? You know that feeling, the one that seems to give you superpowers. It makes you daring. Makes you brave. You’re on top of the world (until you aren’t).
Watch Episode 5 and you will see attraction’s strings creating havoc on the Orange Juice in Bishop’s Garden characters.
This episode is sure to make you think! What makes a deep friendship end? What makes friends turn on one another in the ultimate act of betrayal? Maggie deals with Sarah’s betrayal and she also faces a familiar fear that we all have but few would admit to. This episode is ultimately about that nagging feeling in the pit of your stomach. Wanting to do something and being afraid, missing someone your head is telling you to forget about. What voices in your head do you listen to and what voices do you silence? See what Maggie does in this episode. Enjoy!
