  * e.g.,  ... "Oh, Edward, I'm sorry...please forgive me." I didn't deserve him; he was too perfect for me. In heart-wrenching chagrin, I turned away to stop him from seeing the tears of chagrin in my chagrined eyes. He turned my face back towards him with a velvet movement of chagrin. "Oh, Bella, my love, there is nothing to forgive!" "But there is!" I cried in chagrin. "Oh, Edward, can't you see that I simply don't deserve you?" "Oh, Bella, you silly girl. I love you!" "I love you too!" I chagrined. "Oh, Bella..." my perfect Adonis chagrined. "Oh, Edward..." I chagrined. "Bella..." he chagrined. "Edward..." I chagrined. "Bella..." he chagrined. "Edward..." I chagrined.

 [ "chagrin falls" ]

1: A small, midwest town of several thousand located south east of the Cleveland Metropolis. Originally an old miner town, this historically upper-middle class town has become a minor center of commerce- its many stores along Washington Street include boutiques, restaurants, and gift shops. Its youth, who attend Chagrin Falls Exempted High School are known for their juvenile tendencies that include but are not limited to: stealing, trespassing, and underage consumption. These problems are minor, compared to the fact that the school ranks consistantly in the top 100 public schools in America- giving notion to the fact that the town's students have prematurely developed a degree of maturation, as evidenced by the balance of academic and social aspects practiced. This balance manifests in the school's alumni base, which encompasses many of the most successful persons in Cleveland and abroad. It's student athletes are referred to as Tigers, and the high school consists of many middle of the road, average sized teams.

  * e.g.,  ...  My family is considering watching the Blossom Parade in Chagrin Falls.

1: a small midwestern ohio town known for its appeal as a tourist trap, though the residents themselves don't shop for much in the 'downtown' since most of the useful stores went out of business years ago. The town and especially the high school have very low diversity, minorities making up 1-2% of the population.

  * e.g.,  ... tourist: i went shopping in chagrin falls and it's so quaint! Look at this fur coat i got! 

 [ "chagrin falls" ]

2: The high school itself is notorious for many things, including bad security, an emphasis on 'tradition,' faulty heating and cooling systems, and a lot of student partying, drinking, drug use, etc. Most known are the pumpkin roll and blossom time, both excuses to get completely smashed. However, chagrin manages to be a top 100 school almost every year, and most of the students take AP or honors classes, so in the end it balances out.

  * e.g.,  ... student: well i can't finish my AP lit paper, the pumpkin roll's tonight at midnight, i won't be home til four.
