Now we use it to mean any fun action we do with friends not just kicking cans. I have no idea if that is truely the origin of "Kicking it" but it sounds good. And what small town person hasn't kicked a can around for fun? I have to go to a small town soon to visit family. There is one grocery store, nowhere to eat out, the next closest citys are 80 miles in either dirrection, and the only semi-fun thing to do is swim at the highschool's pool. So I understand how small towns can be. Maybe Emily just needs to put it like this:

If you're planning on making Mars Hill your home church you should definitely sign up. @Danika: Thanks for your assistance. I'll inform Emily that not all small towners are ignorant of kicking it. @Tage: Yup, I’m on the City. If you’re planning on making Mars Hill your home church you should definitely sign up.

To illustrate this fact, several years ago, we had two theatres. One with one screen, the other with two. So, one fine weekend, the two screener burned down. I guess the popcorn machine had a malfunction and things burned down. Seriously. Anyway, we now have a "big" movie theatre with FOUR screens.... He he... Um, I guess me and my peeps know how to kick it in a small town. We play extreme spoons-running across streets, ghost in the graveyard (literally in graveyards), and lay in the middle of streets to look up at stars in the middle of the night. Yeah, a small town knows how to kick it. Just a bit differently. ;) I’ve lived in a small town most of my life. To illustrate this fact, several years ago, we had two theatres.

Speaking of Mars Hill, have you joined The City? Any thoughts about it?
