I Want To Dance On Your Body The Way I Shake It On Stage...

The title of this post makes me sound like a stripper - its lyrics from Don't Talk to Strangers by Hedley, nooo worries.

I am officially out west (in BC) skiing in the Rockies with Natalie, Jessie and Caleigh. Nat and I ditched the fam today and went on our own little adventure. I have to say, from now on I'm following her - I decided we should go down this nice little path which later turned into a death trap. The hill was so steep that we couldn't see the base, and there were bowls on either side of us. Did I mention the avalanche warning? Haha, we're okay and it was a lot of fun but I'm done with leading for the rest of this trip.

Thumper, thumper, thumper. Oooh booy. Why does he keep reappearing? He goes to school out here in BC for God's sake! He was back home for the holidays and Caleigh saw him at a party, and apparently he has gotten even better looking and by 2012 could potentially be playing Rugby in the big leagues. Good thing kelly can find the boy with all the potential and loooooooose him. Uggh. Anyways, the part that made me laugh is that she brought me up when she was talking to him and guess what!? He pretended not to know me. Instead he went bright red and asked who "Kelly" was. What a jerk. Lovely, right? Whatever after hearing that he is deeeeeffinitely not worth it, no matter how good he is at rugby.

On another note, I've been talking to Tiffany a bunch more and Chicago is up visiting her for New Years! Hahaha, she was saying that her dad keeps asking him if "my bed" [the guest room is the 'Kelly' room] is comfy, and if he needs me to fly down to fill in the extra space. I love that family. I was talking to Tiff's dad earlier today and he said that she was really sick, succcksss.

- xx, Kelly.

Cream Coloured Ponies, and Crisp Apple Strudel...

I love Christmas - its been about 9 days since i was last on my computer, which makes me feel like I'm off in my own little world, but it is soo nice. Christmas with the family was awsome, and to be honest the opposite of relaxing. Whoever thought that Christmas 'break' was a time to rest was on the wrong planet.

This is going to have to be a short post as we [Natalie, Jessie, Caleigh, the rest of the fam and I] leave early tomorrow morning on our next little adventure out west.

The past two [and a bit..] weeks have been suppperrrrr busy. I saw Cassie a bunch [almost everyday, actually] and Penelope too. But going back to the thursday after my last post I have some storiesss.

First I'd like to introduce you to:

Catherine - totally gorgeous girl with a golden heart. Known her for a while, but we have just recently become close friends.

So on thursday Catherine and I got ready to go out together [which by the way - party was a bit of a bust. Seems to be a reoccurring trend with this school's parties..] and anyways, she ended up telling me about this boy that she really likes. He is a cutie but a bit of a dog. He asked her to go out with him the following weekend [after Christmas] and then bailed last minute [gaaaaaaayyyy].

Ooooh last thing - Belle and Marc are no more [last I heard, anyways] they were really cute together but I feel like the relationship was awkward. Not in a socially-awkward kind of way but in a dysfunctional way...

Meeeh this isn't worth it, I can't explain myself, its past 11pm.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAC.

- xx, Kelly.

Love Letters...

Oooh dear.

I really don't know where to start. Its only been 2 days, but it was two of those "Is this really happening right now!?" kind of days.

I will have some Tiffany stories for you in the near future, but lets start off with Nobody. Our dear little friend just doesn't want to leave the spotlight. Yesterday, Vikki was talking to a friend, and she informed her that Nobody had been telling everyone [in his exact words] this:

[let me remind you - they never legit dated..]

"The only reason I went out with Vikki was because I wanted to ... her. I hate her personality, and she is a bitch, but a ton of guys want to ... Vikki, so I just wanted to rub it in their faces that I got there first. It was easy - shes wrapped around my finger."

Now, lets consider the problems with this:

• Vikki refused to let him tell anyone they were hooking up because she 1. didn't like him and, 2. didn't want people to think she was with someone like, him...
• They never did anything more than make out ... [thats awks for him..]
• Last time I checked, he was the one who crawled back, what, three times? uhuuh.

Moral of the story? Nobody - the recipe for the biggest mistake ever - for both of us.

Anyways, so today my school hosted a big hockey tournament, which Vikki's school's team happened to attend. Of course, what day would be complete without Nobody showing up at my school? Apparently not mine. As Sarah, Chloe, Kelsey, Kristine and I walked towards the arena, a group of guys [from Vikki's school] started talking to us. As I looked over, I caught one of the guy's eyes - Nobody's, actually.

I kept walking, slightly faster then before, and we went into the arena. As we got comfy, a few guys entered the arena. One of the girls [Kristine] noticed and whispered something about one of them staring. I looked down the stairs in the direction she pointed to, and didn't you guess right! Nobody was there smiling. We moved and sat in another spot, but I couldn't help turning around to keep an eye on where he was.

Long story short, I could tell he was telling the other guys things I don't want to hear, thinks he only wishes I would have done with him.

I Love You Enough To Let You Go...

Some people love the snow, some can't stand it. I'm stuck somewhere in the middle - it can be gorgeous, but in my eyes, the snow is the layer of ice our little Earth puts on, as if to keep us out.

We all know that it's true, everyone does it at one point or another. We lie, we hide, and we hurt our friends - the people who are only there to help - in order to get away. Away from what?

Ourselves.

I was thinking of seeing Emmie, Angel and Belle this weekend (I know - they haven't been mentioned on here for FOREVER) but, Emmie is busy, Angel is technically free but she really should be going to the other thing, and I haven't heard much from Belle. Not to mention I can't even begin to narrow down the wide range of assignment, tests, and projects I have to get done in about, 8 days.

Vikki's birthday is coming up, and I have zero time to get her a gift. Not to mention the fact that I have to find a gift for one of my friends [secret santa] for thursday. Ooh dear. There is waaay too much happening right now. As soon as the break starts a huge weight will been lifted off my shoulders - but until then, I'm stuck with stress. Yaay!..

Was supposed to go shopping today, but had to bail [because of said homework above]. I also have to bail on Cassie for later on tonight - just have to keep telling myself - only eight more..

- xx, Kelly.

How Do We Inspire Greatness, When Nothing Else Will Do?...

Eight days. Eight days, Eight days, Eight days.

Eight days of, "Wish the internet was working..", "I should write, but.." and "I'm too tired, I'll do it tomorrow.." s. Oooppsss...

Well...

Wednesday I saw Penelope and Cassie, again. I feel like I tell you about them both a lot, but its really because they are both such funny girls! Penelope is amazing, and I don't know what I would do without Cassie. Thursday and Friday, Natalie, Jessie, Caleigh and I were at the funeral. I have to say, it still doesn't feel real. Then friday night after everything I went up north and met Mac, and Cassie. Kristie couldn't make it, because she too had a funeral to attend, but it was still lots of fun. Saturday, and Sunday were a blast - Mac was only there on Saturday, but Cassie, another girl and I made up for the loss of people! I got home sunday night and crashed. Monday I had a major headache/migraine so I had to stay home. I have to say, migraines are the worst. You can't even sit up without cringing in pain.

Today was good to be back at school, and even better to see everyone again. I don't write as much about the girls from school as I'd like to, but I seem to be busy busy busy with all the sports that I have no time. Tomorrow I'll hopefully be going shopping with Kelsey, Kristine, Chloe, Darcy and Sarah, so I'll have stories for you there!

Now, I have to say, the boy situation isn't all that thrilling at the moment. Team Canada is no longer an option [thank youu Thumper... ughh.], Thumper is still in BC [which could stir something up when he is home for christmas..] , Chicago is M.I.A., Nobody remains a nobody, and the one possible new 'thing' isn't worth reporting. Yet...

- xx, Kelly.

We Could Talk It Over, But There Is Nothing Left To Say...

What an eventful past few days, it has truly been the most obscure 5 days ever. Lets start with the fact that I'm supposed to be going away for the weekend with Cassie, Kristie and Mac, which may or may not be happening now. This, is because today, Monday, November 30th, 2009 at 7:30pm my grandma(my mum's mum) passed away. Her unforgiving battle with cancer has ended, which in my heart I know was the best thing that could ever happen. Doesn't keep it from being tough, but I know with the support of my lovely girls, like Jessie and Natalie, it will all be OK.

(Just a Note: My uncle is still a problem. His drinking habits haven't changed one bit. All he is doing is making everyone else's lives more difficult, but it is an illness, and whether he likes it or not, he'll either die a drunk [hopefully not taking anyone with him] or kick the habit. We shall see.)

Then we add the fact that teachers try and squish everything into the last few weeks of school before Christmas, making this unbelievably hectic. For example, I should be writing as essay right now, or studying, or doing anything other then this that is productive. (Haha. Like that will happen)

Anyways, so on saturday I saw Cassie in the afternoon, and then came home for family movie night! Haha, Jessie, Natalie, Caleigh and I all ended up watching Duplicity - SUCH a confusing plot!

Then on sunday I got in a huge fight with my stepdad. It ended in tears, and Natalie and I walked over to her mum's house and stayed there for a bit to let him blow off steam (literally). I don't think anyone has ever yelled at me like that before. Take fear for your life x 10. The stupid thing is that it was over a printer ink cartrdge. Uggh, whatever, its fine. I haven't talked to him since, and really don't want to, but its okay. Its not like we were best friends before anyways.. this just gives me a reason to avoid conversations. He tried to say sorry sunday night, but that wasn't happening. Anyone who blows up about something of that nature, the way he did clearly is not mentally stable.

Lastly, today after school I stayed for a while (which seemed like YEARS) to watch Natalie's school play mine in volleyball. She played against my friend Sarah, who I love to pieces. Sarah is an awsome little volleyball player, and it was fun watching the game. She was like a really adorable little kid the way she went between concentrating on the game, and making fun of our teacher (the coach) within about 2 seconds of each other, hahaha. And of course, our team won. (In all fairness to Nat, they would have done better if she had been played. They played the 2nd string setter out of "fairness" because Nat played all weekend in the tournament and this other girl didn't)

Okay, time to attempt this essay...

Even The Beautiful Lose Control...

Yesterday I had to present a speech to my class - I chose to do it on the Importance of the Shark. BOMBED IT. haha. I am usually pretty good with public speaking, but I was lazy this year and I didn't learn my speech well enough - oops...

Spent about an hour and a half on the phone with Lola today, She was telling me her current situation:

Lola liked boy 1.

boy 1 gets a girlfriend.

boy 1 = no good anymore.

Lola kind of likes boy 2.

boy 2 just wont work.

Lola = in the same boat as I am.

So I was talking to Cassie (went to see her - it's wednesday, Duuuhhh.. haha) and she was telling me how she was working with Leona Lewis this afternoon! (if you haven't clued in yet - she sings "Bleeding Love" ...) She was in the city for a few days, and just happened to choose Cassie for the help! Apparently shes a lot prettier in person, who knew.

I am so glad I'm going into school lateee tomorrow, I don't know if I would be able to wake up otherwise. Sucks to be those people waking up at 6am tomorrowwww! haha.

- xx, Kelly.

On A Winding Road Headed Nowhere...

I realized that I haven't told you anything about Vikki lately. She has a new boy, who I have yet to meet. Hopefully that happens soon, I mean, he lives closer to me than to her, so how hard can that be?

Natalie and I went on an hour and a half walk tonight. It was perfect - we both had so many things we needed to say, and of course, we both turn to each other to let them out. Shes been having boy problems, though, they're the exact opposite of mine. My problem is that there are no boys. Her problem is that there are too many. Oooh, what I would do to switch places with her right now, haha. I love talking to her, we always end up laughing with and at each other and end up on the most insignificant subjects ever - but I wouldn't have it any other way. We were talking about the guys who live across the street, and how we never see them. So I decided that I'm going to have to figure out who they are once I get through some of this school work!

Oh yes, on that note - I'm still dying. I need to get rid of / at least cut back on some of the things on my schedule. It's hard, because apparently I think there are 26 hours in a day?Strange..

- xx, Kelly.

When You Say That It's Going To Be, It Always Turns Out To Be a Different Way...

I felt like I should be covering what happened all week - then I remembered that I did nothing but work until thursday. Thursday after school I went over to Chloe's house, and of course, slept over. When we were driving back to her house after going out that night we hit a huggggeeee amount of fog. So scary. I have to say, being outside of the city is nice, but in these conditions the lack of street lights, and lack of practically anything that can show you where the road is in front of you is really unfortunate. Anyways, friday morning we woke up really late, and I missed my physio appointment, so instead, I went to the bank and took out some cash, got a bit of food, and went to see Cassie. That was fun, a pretty calm (but late) night. Saturday night I saw Emmie, Belle and Angel for Angel's birthday! We went out with a few other girls for dinner, and then saw New Moon afterwards.

I have to say - I'm not a huge Twilight fan. I haven't read the books, didn't really watch the first movie, but Taylor Lautner has an amazing body. If God loves me and I marry someone with that kind of a body I don't think I'll be able to take my hand off of him. PDA here we come! haha.

Today (sunday) I stayed in and worked. I had so much to do and I haven't even gotten through half of it. So stressful. Only 25 or so days until Christmas break! I talked to Kristie in my attempt to procrastinate and avoid working. We have the weirdest conversations, haha, but for the past little while we've been talking about the new hottie shes got her eye on. He is a personal trainer - aka. FIT. Ooooh dear. If they end up together I'll be so happy - he sounds awsome. Plus she needs a decent guy, shes such a sweet heart and I love her to peices. She more than deserves a nice guy who treats her amazingly, AND is this fit.

Aaaah - I'm dying. Between seeing Taylor Lautner's gorgeous muscular body and this guy in my head I wish there was something for me. Aaah, oh well. At this rate I'll be eternally single.

Oh yes, and on that note I actually have been doing very little facebook creeping (thanks to the amount of work we've been getting) but I broke this nice trend today when creeping Thumper. I feel so pathetic, but seeing new moon made me miss him, even all the shitty feelings that came along with it. Ugh, ohh dear - why are girls so pathetic? I mean, we rely on guys for our happiness and are too much of romantics for our own good. Do you think a guy would ever be writing something like this? Heeeelllll no.

- xx, Kelly.

They Try Their Best To Change You, They Still Can't Erase You...

Just a quick note, I figured I should make up for not writing for so long before the post from yesterday.

Studying sucks, especially the boring subjects, I had to get up and go find food because reading all the stuff I need to know was getting exhausting. Natalie made cookies though, so I'm okay now, haha. Speaking of Natalie, last night we went on a really long walk, which is probably one of my favorite things to do. Everything is so peaceful in such a crowded city at 9 or 10 at night, its just you, the occasional dog walker, and the streetlights to lead the way.

On a good note - I was talking to my mom and apparently a trip to jail, a DUI on your record and your license suspension can change your mind about drinking.. who knew? My uncle called my mom and asked for my dad's phone number so he would talk to him about going to rehab. Which needs a little more explanation doesn't it? My dad was an alcoholic and went to rehab just over 5 years ago. I love him for it - he wasn't abusive or anything, the problem was really that he would go have a few too many drinks after work, come home and go to sleep. And seeing as my parents were divorced, my sister and I would just watch TV or do something by ourselves. BUT, like I said, he hasn't touched alcohol for over 5 years.

Alright, back to the books. Joyous, right? ughhh.

Cut Ties With All The Lies You've Been Living In...

It has been 8 days. Wow, I kept meaning to write, and then right as I was starting to get some time something would blow up in my face. Lovely, really.

So last weekend (saturday, sunday, monday) I stayed at Tiffany's house, which was fun. I got to meet all of her new friends out there. They were all really nice, some more than others but hey, isn't it always that way? Anyways, I took the train home late monday night, used that as time to do homework and study.

Tuesday was Tiffany's actual birthday, and I was back in the city and at school. All of the teachers decided that because this week (starting tomorrow) is a short week, they're going to give unit tests, seminars, speeches, you name a form of evaluation, they've assigned it for the same 4 days. So I spent the rest of the week (wednesday, thursday) just trying to catch up after a weekend of doing zerrooo, which failed a little bit.

I had decided that I was going to stay in and do homework friday because I was starting to get stressed out, but of course, that didn't happen. Instead I went and saw Penelope and Cassie. When I got home (which was still early! I still planned on doing homework..) and I got the lovely news that my family is slowly falling into little tiny pieces. (I'l go into detail after saturday)

Saturday I met up with Vikki, Penelope, Mac and Kristie and we all went to the Royal! It was sooo good to see them all, and especially because we have so much fun together - I haven't seen Kristie is forever - we talk all the time, but the few days she is in the city I'm either not here, or we're both busy.

Alright, this is the point where you either get ready for some not-so-fun stuff, or if you're happy today and you don't need something depressing, RUN.

My uncle is an alcoholic - something that seems to be surrounding me from all sides of my family. His liver almost failed a few weeks ago, and he was hospitalized for a week and told that he was not allowed to drive, and definitely not allowed to drink. Of course, seeing as alcoholism is a disease, thursday night he was in a little town 2 hours from where he lives, at a gas station and the people working realized that he was drunk. They called the local cops who came and waited and watched him for a bit., And of course he backed his truck into the side of an unmarked cop car.

They put him in jail until saturday morning, impounded his truck and took his license away. My mom had to meet my grandpa at my uncles house early saturday (my grandpa drove my uncle's car to his house, and my mom had to pick up my grandpa and take him home) they took all the car keys they could find and left. My mom has to stay with my grandparents for the week because my other uncle and aunt are going to visit her family and my grandma, who is dying not only of cancer but of watching her son kill himself, needs help.

Isn't it funny how all those things that seem so secure, those things that you hide behind when you need help, can all come crashing down within a few seconds of each other?

- xx, Kelly.

Breakfast At Tiffany's...

Fabulous movie, by the way.

I'm up, waay too early for a saturday morning, and off in about a half hour to see Tiffany! I know I've already told you, but this is the weekend of her birthday, so my parents agreed to let me miss a bit of school and go down to visit her.

[I know I haven't written since tuesday, but my internet stopped working, and I'll probably have to get my computer fixed, because it wasn't the wireless that wouldn't connect, it was this stupid thing.]

So I mentioned that one of my friends liked a guy, but I though he had a girlfriend that Lindsay knew? Anyways, saw her [Lindsay's friend] waiting for him outside of the school yesterday after classes had ended. I said hi to her, which seemed to catch her a little off guard. Its funny how many people there are in this city, and yet everyone knows everyone.

I'll write more once I get to Tiffany's, for now I have to pack

- xx, Kelly.

In Too Deep, Then I Fall A Little Farther...

I haven't laughed this much in way too long. Lunch with Darcy and Lola was amazing, and then dinner with Natalie and Jessie was perfect. At dinner we spent the majority of the time making fun of Caleigh [this includes the parents, they joined in on the not-all-that-nice comments]. We always make fun of the fact that we feel bad for her future husband - she SO CONTROLLING. Love her, but I don't know what I would do if I was stuck with her 24/7. [divorce..]

I laughed so hard I cried at lunch and dinner - sooooo needed it.

So much school work to do it insane. 3 1/2 days until I see Tiffany! I'm excited to go see her - I haven't seen her since August. Too long!

- xx, Kelly

Looking For That Little Blue Box...

Almost Forgot! -

Tiffany finally got a move-on with California! We have our $25 bet, and if he doesn't ask her out by the time I visit, the money is mine! I'm really hoping that he does - she deserves it! Anyways, she pretended not to have gotten the Bio homework and asked him to text it to her. Sneaky girl - Fingers crossed that he takes a hint!

I really wish there was something interesting on the Chicago front. Oh well, no worries - I'm sure I'll have something for you by monday ;)

- xx, Kelly

I Only Have Myself To Blame For Falling For Your Stupid Games...

I was debating writing last night, but I decided that I'd wait until tonight so I'd have more for you.

Last night I talked to Caleigh about what she did for halloween. She was telling me about how all these bitchy girl are spreading rumors about her and Team Canada hooking up, after he broke up with one of her really good friends a month or two ago. She's not.. and it sounds like it really sucks. I can't imagine if my really close friends started telling everyone I was hooking up with a good guy friend, just because we hang out? It's not right.

Anyways, one of her other guy friends was Thumper for halloween! Haha, here is how their conversation went:

Caleigh: Who are you dressed as?

Boy: Thumper!

Caleigh: Haha, thats clever. Hey I should get Kelly to come, she would complete the costume!

Boy: Naah, Thumper would be pisssseeeddd [hmm?, I'm liking the sound of this! haha]

Caliegh: Why, doesn't he have a girl?

Boy: Naah, they're done. I think its because he's stuck on your sister..

I have to say, this made me really happy. 1. I love that he hasn't gotten over me [yeah, shallow or whatever, its fine], 2. I'm still not over him, so if it was one-sided that would suck. And, 3. that he has obviously talked about me, or else why would his friend know that it would make him mad?

LOVE IT.

I was talking to Penelope about this yesterday - basically about how I don't really want him back, because he had a chance and faillleeedddd. But then again, it would take about 2 words. FML - why are girls so pathetic when it comes to guys? Don't deny it - we ALL do this.

On another note, one of my good friends likes this guy, and I heard from Lindsay that he's hooking up with her [Lindsay's] friend. I don't know what to say.. and if I should say anything?

{Song Title: Undo It - Carrie Underwood}

Spring Forward, Fall Back...

Time changes always confuse me. I woke up at what turned out to be 8:00 this morning, thinking, "Great, I woke up just in time." NOPE. I woke up an hour earlier than I had hoped. Its fine though, gives me time to write.

I went out with Vikki last night. Nothing very interesting to report back to you, I personally think that Halloween is a bit overrated. It just gives people a reason to drink more, wear less, and everyone does it because its a "Holiday"! Don't get me wrong, my costume was fairly little - but it wasn't a ripped shirt with a pair of booty shorts, and something written across my chest that tells you what I'm supposed to be..

Vikki has a new boooyyy. We had just gotten back, when she told me. I fully though she was back with Nobody, and I could have smacked her. She wasn't, thank God, and she told me about the new guy she had been texting - all night.

So I realize I haven't written for a while, so we'll do the usual catch-up thing.

Wednesday I saw Penelope and Cassie - I told penelope about how Cassie knows Pearse, and then remembered that I had asked him about Cassie. I told her about how he remembered her, too. [Can't remember if I told you that story, so I'll summarize it.] Cassie was a counselor at an all boys camp, and Pearse went there. She recognized his name, and when I asked him about her, he remembered her, too. I missed going to the last regular season football game [my school's] where they lost - but they did well. They were playing a really good team, and seeing as our team has only been around for a year, evern getting one touch down [which they did] is quite the feat.

Thursday, I talked to Tiffany a bunch. Her parents are planning a surprise party for her on the weekend I go down, [next weekend?] and she figured out what they were planning and freaked. It was not good - scavenger hunt. For a 16th? REALLY? So we fixed that, ASAP and it is now safe to say that we have no idea what they're planning, but it is NOT a scavenger hunt, haha.

Friday there wasn't much - I've been sick so I took it easy and slept. I was supposed to meet up with Cassie again, but she wasn't feeling well either so it never really happened.

One of the girls I met in Ireland this summer, who I still talk to a lot, was telling me she is back in Ireland for the week - SO JEALOUS. But, because of this I've been talking to Penelope and Kristie about going back next year, more. I would like to get over to Galway if we go, and possibly fly to London and meet my mum there before going home? I don't know, its a work in progress. What I do know is that I am definitely going back to Ireland, and I'm going to have to work my butt off to get there - I have to pay for everything other then flights.

- xx, Kelly

Where'd You Go...

So I lost my watch today. This adds to the list of things I've lost in the past few months:

• Blackberry curve
• another Blackberry curve
• iPod classic (on my way home from visiting Tiffany this summer)
• and my Watch

I'm not quite sure when or where I lost it, but I do know this:

I was walking away from school the opposite direction I normally go [with Kelsey, Sarah, Chloe, Darcy and Kristine]. Anyways, I got to the road and while I was waiting for the light to change [our new character] Jay runs up behind me, grabs me by the waist and jumps on me. Making me trip, spin around, and then almost fall again. {Possibly where I lost the watch?} Anyways, Jay and a few other guys were going to get something to eat while waiting for football practice, and he asked to borrow money, and then decided that he didn't want to have to pay me back, and went with the other guys. I didn't notice I didn't have a watch on until I got in the car. So I could have lost it at any point today. This just seemed like a pretty likely time.

Jay - go to school with him - he's a funny guy, and no he's not a guy you're going to be hearing a lot about.

Moving on, I've gotten addicted to reading MLIA [My Life Is Average] - SO FUNNY.

I love hearing people's pointless stories, even if they're not all real. Makes my day.

Also, if you haven't already - check out the blog www.operationdust.blogspot.com - it is the reason that I started this. She writes about her live, and honestly, I wish my life was that interesting!

He's Just Trying To Keep It Together, 'Cus He Could Do Worse And I Could Do Better...

Wow, so Chicago now reads the blog - haha. This just adds to how great this is. And for others, no worries - just because he reads it doesn't mean I'm going to stop talking about him!

Not a whole lot has happened since friday. I have strep throat, which would be why I feel grossgrossgross. I saw Vikki very briefly yesterday, she spend most of that time laughing at what I had left of my voice. Nice, eh? Haha.

I spent most of today catching up on work I missed friday, and talking to Tiffany. She was telling me how they sat beside a senior from her school, and her dad was joking about how she should ask him out. Then she goes, "He had really nice eyes, but... he had a mohawk.." Hahaha. I'm sure the only reason her dad said anything was because of the mohawk. Oh well, I guess we'll have to get him out of his fishbowl more often, so he can see the world. There are plenty of mohawks out there. (Haha, that was for you, Tiff) We call his home office his fishbowl because it has a glass door and hes always in there.

More New Characters - Just incase you're not confused enough yet!

California - I've been talking about him for a while - this is the guy that Tiffany like. We'll see, Ill hopefully meet him when I go to visit for her birthday. Well, I will if she wants her $25!

Penelope - amazing girl, I see her almost every wednesday, though you may not hear about her that often as we're only together for a few minutes at a time. She's one of the gorgeous girls I went to Ireland with this past August

So I think I should go into a little more detail about Chicago reading LLST. After I posted my last post (friday night) I was talking to Tiffany and Kristie.

Kristie and I were have one of our usual pointless conversations, and anyways she had to go around 11:30. After she was gone I talked to Tiffany for a while, until I decided I should probably go to sleep too. About 2 minutes after I got off the computer I got a text:

Tiffany: Chicago's reading LLST!

Kelly: WHAT THE FUCK? HOW?

I went back on my computer and talked to Tiffany for a bit, and then got his number off of her and sent him a text:

Kelly: So I hear you're enjoying LLST?

Chicago: Its pretty good haha.. "Kelly"

Kelly: Haha - thanks. Having fun reading about yourself? And I'm sure you'll use what I've written about "Tiffany" against her..

Chicago: Haha I only read about "Chicago". I have to go back and read about her.

Kelly: Waaay to be self-centered. When did you first read it?

Chicago: Just now haha.

So yes, now Chicago reads LLST. Its fine though, I couldn't care less - everything I'm saying is true, so all he's doing is reading things that happened to him.

- xx, Kelly.

I Know You're Secretly Jumping Up And Down You're So Excited...

It has been: 5/5.5 days since my last post. But honestly, nothing interesting has happened this week! Emmie, Belle and Angel are all in New York City. Soo jealous. Why can't I be living it up and shopping on 5th? Instead, I get the joy of being sick and not being able to walk up/down the stairs without my head pounding. Wooo!

New Characters!

Lola- pretty pretty girl, I really don't know where her train of thought comes from sometimes, but I love her for it

Darcy- such a funny girl, love her to peices. She is such a sweet heart, and definitely knows how to have fun

Cassie- a good amount older than me, but she's super sweet. I see her all the time, and I don't know what I would do without our random conversations

Tuesday Natalie and I went on another walk, no creep following us this time! It was eventful, none the less. Natalie broke her toe over the weekend, so seeing as she couldn't really walk, she biked (on the tiniest bike ever) and I walked beside her. We talked about her current boy sitch, the usual - Boy likes Natalie, his best friend likes her too, she has to choose - but she doesn't actually like either of them. I wish that was my problem.

Wednesday I was talking to Darcy, Kelsey and Kristine about Lindsay's boyfriend (who they know) I told them about how Linds has mono, and that her boyfriend (#2 from a few posts back) will probably end up with it. (some think this sucks, I think its funny) We then continued to talk about how weird her boyfriend was in grade school. Hahaha, I wont ever look at him the same.

Thursday I went to the sport doctor about my hip. Turns out that I have an inflamed tendon in my hip. I'm glad I know what it is, its been bothering me for about a year, and it SUCKED. Now I get to start physio with a guy who has a son my age. I facebook creeped him (the dr.'s son) - hes FIT. Haha.

Today I went to school for the first little bit. Wrote a test, then BAILED. I felt like death. I am wondering if I have strep-throat? I'm going to the doctor monday if its not better, so we shall see. Then I saw Cassie, and no, I didn't stay home even though I should have. Its over rated. I wasn't there for very long, but I was there long enough to find a good story about Pearce for you!

So Cassie used to be a counselor at an all-guys camp (smart girl!) that did a lot of big canoe trips, and out-doors-y stuff like that. She was telling me about how they were surprised she didn't use an email, even though they go into the wilderness for FIFTY (50) days at a time. I told her that I though they were crazy, and then remembered Pearse saying something about going on a 40 day canoe trip. I told her that I had a friend who did one, and it turns out that she knows him! Her desciption of him was "skinny kid, dark hair, always smiling as if hes just done something bad?" Hahaha, 100% Pearse.

Ooh, and then I was talking to Tiffany, about her boy problems and Chicago! I keep telling her she NEEDS to put it out there that she really likes this boy, but she doesn't know how to! He notices all the little things, and comments about them. Compliments her - Always. AND MORE. Have thoughts on how she should approach this? Feel free to comment. I'm out of ideas.

THEN, what you're all waiting for, Chicago! Haha, Tiffany was talking to him about how his car broke down (sucker) and other things, the usual. She mentioned that next time she goes to visit him I'm going along too (you know, I have to meet the rest of my extended family.. haha, I wish.) and thats where we get the title of this post:

Tiffany: Just putting it out there, Kelly is coming the next time we visit..

Chicago: Alright, sweet.

Tiffany: I know you're secretly jumping up and down because you're so excited!

Hahaha, love her. Its definitely happening though - it would be such a joke! Okay, I'm dead tired. Being sick is really draining.. Night!

- xx, Kelly.

Don't Say You Can't Live Without Me, You Don't Know A Thing About Me...

Its 100% official - Thumper has a girlfriend. Not that it really changes anything. According to Team Canada she's pretty, but he's only seen pictures on Facebook. I probably wont see him until June or July if I see him at all, and they most likely wont be together by then, especially when they both leave boarding school for 3 months. Hopefully he'll still be taken, then I don't have to worry about things with him. Or, people just don't have to know about it.. (Joking!)

Hey, heres a crazy though - maybe I'll be taken by then? Haha, doubt it!

Caleigh and I went shopping today. I bought a new pea coat! I've been needing a new jacket, seeing as the one I was wearing was over 2 years old, and 1. I've grown, and 2. I have really long arms, so the sleeves are waaaay too short. Attractive, right? Anyways, I'm very happy with my new jacket, I think I'll wear it tomorrow.

While we were walking down the street between stores, Caleigh and I were talking about how she was going to meet up with Team Canada afterwards. Right after we finished talking about him, we walked past his two sisters - one a year older than Caleigh, and one my age. Did I mention that Team Canada's little sister is my age? Well, anyways, Caleigh was telling me how she had been talking to him and his sister was convinced that he was wheeling her. So he told her "No, actually I'm wheeling her step-sister thats your age.." I'm sure that shut her up pretty quickly.

Tiffany reminded me of the story from yesterday (that I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't remember how it went? Yeah, that one)! Anyways, heres what happened with Chicago:

So basically Tiffany was texting him, and he was still asking about me, which she was making fun of him for, of course. (I personally really enjoy that he still asks about me on a regular basis) Then instead of replying to her question she got a text saying "Hey baby". (which if you think about your older guy cousin sending you that is a little bit weird) Turns out Chicago's friend had taken his phone and sent it after he saw a picture of Tiff. I think we need to figure out who this boy is.

Ooh, I almost forgot - another piece of Team Canada information. I was talking to Caleigh about all of this after she got back from meeting up with him, and she said that he kept asking about me. One of the things he said (which might ring a bell if you've read the last few posts) was:

Team Canada: Oooh, I saw Kelly last week! I wasn't sure if it was her at first, and she was with a friend (Larissa) so I didn't say anything..

Caleigh: Haha, she mentioned that actually, thats funny.

Team Canada: Yeah, I was going to run back and talk to her, but I didn't.

Caleigh: Good. You would have looked like the biggest tool ever.

Haha, I wish Team Canada had come back and talked to me, I'm pretty sure he was high, so that could have been interesting.

Natalie and I went for another one of our late-night-walks tonight. She broke her toe, so she biked and I walked beside her. About half way through our loop I noticed a guy walking a bit behind us that I hadn't seen before. I kept tabs on him and he followed us pretty much all the way home. Creepy.

- xx, Kelly

Hey, Hollywood Never Looked This Good...

We have a Vikki update! Haha, boy do I love this girl! Things just seem to happen to her. So she has this new guy who I've told you about, and so she was going to meet him after class on thursday. Right as she gave him a hug and they started to walk together, our favorite friend, Nobody walks past them! I feel bad for him some days, but then I remember what happened, and I smile.

Anyways, so then on friday she was talking to some of her little sister's friends (who are two years younger) and one guy proceeded to tell Vikki that he had slept with Nobody's new girlfriend (once before the relationship, and once durring). Nobody has nooo idea that his girlfriend is sleeping around, while sleeping with him... did I mention this other guy is two years younger? Hahaha.

I was talking to Tiffany today, and we got another Chicago story! (now that she reads this she thinks I'm a huge creep because its her cousin) Haha, loove you Tiff! I'll tell you it later, right know I'm so tired that I can't remember how the story went. I know. I suck.

Tiffany also told me a bit more about her new boyyy! He sounds cute, but she needs to get a move on! At this age, guys don't get the whole, dating-girls-for-personality-(okay, AND looks..)-not-just-because-they're-easy thing. C'est la vie. Speaking of this lovely lady, I'm going to visit her in a month! Get excited, we always end up doing the funniest things, and hey, they make for good stories.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, lets see..

Oooh, Kristen was over on thursday - I've missed my little-miss-sunshine! She dyed her hair, and I hadn't seen her since the summer, so it surprised me, but it looks really cute! She was with Lindsay most of the time, mostly because I was stuck studying and doing assignments all night. (I don't think I stopped for more than an hour) I keep asking myself WHY I'm still at this school, and I don't really have a good answer. There is too much work!

I need a new winter jacket. The one I've had is waaaay too small. I was talking to Jessie about what to get/where, and we came up with a Pea Coat and couldn't think of where we'd seen a nice one. Help? feel free to comment / message me if you have any ideas!

- xx, Kelly

I'm Laughing Because The Loon Call Wasn't A Loon at All, It Was You...

Ugh - GO LISTEN TO: So True - Peirson Ross.

It makes me want to cry, it's so cute, and it reminds me so much of the summer!

Today was the usual (boring..) school day. The guys had a football game which they left early for, so there was nothing to look at in class (although, even when they are there, there isn't anything to look at..) haha.

NEW CHARACTERS!

Larissa - we've been friends for at least a year, shes so funny and even though we only talk at random hours, we have way too much fun.

Team Canada - new boy (the one that I mention 2 posts or so back, Thumper's best friend) funny guy, amazing athlete - which is where his name comes from

SO, today I was on my way home (walking with Larissa) and guess who I run into? None other than Team Canada. We were walking down the road, and he jay-walked with a friend, so he ended up right in front of us - facing us. It took me a second to realize who he was (and we just happened to be talking about Thumper - AWKS) and when I did, I didn't know how to talk anymore. I walk, totally silent with Larissa trying to figure out what happened and why this guy was staring at me, and then turning around and checking me out. What is with this? Coincidence?

As much as I want to get over him, I can't stop thinking about Thumper! He keeps getting better looking (which is totally annoying) and I think I mentioned that he still wanted to see me when he was here over the weekend. I'm dying! I'm a total hypocrite, I keep telling Mac that she needs to stop thinking about her ex, (although, nothing even officially ended between us, it just ended because neither of us texted the other) but I can't stop! The fact that he lives on the other side of the country isn't helping. Although, the fact that his new girl is ugly does! Haha.

Had a good 'chat' with Reea today! Haven't actually talked to her in sooo long. I saw her brother (while he was skipping) the other day, so we talked about that, and about her situation with Derek. The usual, but it was nice!

- xx, Kelly

UPDATE...

So I was just on the phone with Vikki, and she told me that Nobody already has a new girlfriend. Hahaha. It JUST happens to be her neighbour.

L.O.V.E it.

Have been talking to Tiffany a bunch today - she has a new boooyyyyyyyy! I'm super excited for her, MAYBE she will win our little bet after all! We shall see..

- xx, Kelly.

A Blue Eyed Snake...

Soooo, I meant to write, BUT (and this is a BIG but..) I haven't really been on the computer much. Again, lame excuses, but it's the inconvenient truth.

I'll do a re-cap, the same way I did in my last post:

The weekend went by pretty quickly, I sent Vikki multiple texts, and called her cell a few times but there was no answer. By monday, I was wondering what had happened to her. I knew that she had supposedly given Nobody the boot, but after not hearing a word from her for a few day, I wasn't so sure.

On tuesday night, I got a friend request from one of Caliegh's closest guy friends (on facebook). I accepted his request, and went into Caleigh's room to ask her what was going on. When I walked into her room, she looked up (knowing why I was there) and started to laugh. Turns out they were having a nice conversation about me, and how 'Fit' he thinks I am. Hahaha, as luck would have it, he happens to be one of Thumper's best friends, and was there when I first met Thumper. Just to add to this "luck", Thumper was coming back to the city this weekend, and staying at this guy's house for 2 of the 3 nights.

This whole time I still hadn't heard a word from Vikki.

So, wednesday night I called her again, and her sister picked up. I talked to Vikki (FINALLY) and everything I had been worried about was 100% true. Not only was she still hooking-up with Nobody, she didn't know how to tell me, so she just ignored all my texts. Her excuse was "I was really busy..." I laughed, and replied "So you're too busy to send me even a one word text, but you can make-out with Nobody behind the school when no one is looking? HAHA. Right." We talked a little longer, which was totally useless. She wasn't going to listen, and it was just making me mad. She told me she was going over to his house on thursday. I told her if she went, that she shouldn't call/text me anytime soon, because I wont want to hear from her.

Thursday, I got a call from Vikki. She hadn't gone, but was still dealing with Nobody. I'm not going to bore you with details, but basically I told her she was going to get rid of him, or I wasn't sticking around. Yes, I know that its mean, and some would say unnecessary. But I have a good enough reason to hate this guy that I couldn't care less.

She called again late friday night after the football game. She said she was sorry, and told me about how she got rid of him:

Vikki: I went up to Nobody before the game, and he tried to give me a hug. I pushed him away and said "Um, No. I think this is over." He started to look mad, so I skipped off and let the other guys on the football team (who had all been standing there) laugh at him.

Kelly: Haha, you would do it in front of a group of guys...

Vikki: Yep! And then after the game I went out to dinner with ..... and Nobody watched us leave, if I had noticed he was watching I would have started making out with ..... right there!

Kelly: Please, make sure you do that sometime.

Needless to say, we're back to being friends without stupid boy (Nobody) drama.

Lastly, saturday, sunday and today/monday were pretty calm days. Did the whole, family-thanksgiving-dinner-thing with Lindsay, her boyfriend, Chris and the rest of the fam. Went up to the farm for sunday night. Its funny that its called a farm where there are no animals on it.. anyways, that was pretty much it.

I WILL write at LEAST twice this week. I think I owe you at least that much.

xx, Kelly.

I'm Tired of Holding All of This Inside My Head...

I need to start writing more than once a week!

School has been super busy, and I just haven't seemed to be on the computer much lately. Strange, I know. Sooo, we're going to have to do a re-cap of the week / since my last post.

After I posted last weekend I got a text message from Natalie saying that she met a bunch of people from my school at a party. So on monday I was only mildly surprised when Pearse came up to me and told me my step-sister is fit.

Then when I woke up tuesday morning I had a text message from Vikki. And here is the little bit where we bring in the past. Last year Vikki and I got ourselves into some interesting situations involving this guy we'll call Nobody. There is a lot of history between him and I (but thats for another day) and anyways, Vikki texts me to say that they are dealing. I'm sure you can tell that I'm not such a fan of this guy. Anyways, I visited her wednesday after school, and while I was waiting for her to get her stuff from her locker I ran into all of Nobody's friends. I did a little flirting there, told them they could get my number off of Nobody (who would never give it to them) and then as I was walking to find Vikki, guess who I run into? Non other than Nobody!

Here is how that went:

Kelly: Oh, Hey! Nobodyyyy!

Nobody:(under breath) shittt.. Hey Kelly.

Kelly: I hear you and Vikki are something now, wow!

Nobody: Uhh, yeah, kind of..

Kelly: Oh good, just kind of? Alright well it ends NOW. Don't touch her EVER again.

Nobody: Uhh, I gotta go..

Haha, he turned around and ran into the gym to get ready for football. Needless to say, Vikki and Nobody are nothing anymore.

Talked to Kristie a bunch thursday and friday, and we were supposed to meet up friday, but it never worked out.

Then saturday I went to a party at Sarah's. I spent most of the night with Kristine, who is the funniest thing ever when drunk. Met a few new guys, nothing special.

- xx, Kelly.

Its Still Legal, He's 17...

Spent yesterday night with a few of my favorite people! Went out to visit Belle, Emmie and Angel and couldn't have spent my friday night in better company. They met me at the bus, and from there we (stopped to get changed, then) went back to their school to watch the boy's soccer game. As luck would have it, we didn't actually end up watching the game at all. Instead, we watched one of their guy friends refuse to pay a debt he owed another guy. Of course, because he is so stubborn he never thought that paying would be a good idea. He got a smack to the face, and a very interesting warning before he slipped out without anyone seeing him. They promised him that if he didn't pay up he would have his bike, phone, wallet, and shoes (if they were nice enough) stolen. Yeah.

After those guys had all left, The four of us went over to talk to a friend, her boyfriend and his friend. We stayed and watched the game for a bit (which sucked, they lost) until the friend asked us all if we needed a drive home. We told him we would walk, and the three of them drove off as we walked. When we were about half way back to Emmie's house Belle got call from them asking if we wanted a ride to go get food. Obviously that worked - it was freezing cold, and we were hungry. So the 7 of us shoved into the 4-seat car. The 5 girls in the back. We went and got a bite to eat, and just hung out with them for a bit. Later on they dropped us off by Emmie's house and Belle, Emmie, Angel, their friend and I went back to Emmie's for the rest of the night.

I miss those girls SO MUCH!

I've been talking to Kristie a bunch. We've been planning a return visit to Ireland for next summer! We're trying t figure out a way to make her dad want to drop 20K in one place.. Thoughts???

Not sure if I've mentioned this, Tiffany's uncle isn't doing well, so she might have to go out for his funeral next week. Her mum has been out there with him for the past week or so, and if she has to go she'll be missing spirit week - aka. the week of school where you do nothing but spend time with friends. On a brighter note - she's showing me her homecoming dress either tonight or tomorrow! Woo!

Speaking of homecoming - my school won their homecoming football game today - first time in 7 years! Haha.

- xx, Kelly

In Need of Some Retail Therapy...

WOW - I haven't written in a while! School has been sooo busy, and I just haven't seemed to have any spare time! Lets go back, and look at the highlights of the past week or two.

1. In Phys-Ed we had to do all sorts of fitness appraisals, and of course, little Kelly can pull her own weight! We had to do the 'Flexed arm hang', basically you hang on a chin-up bar, and your chin has to stay above the bar, for as long as you can. The record before my class was Pearse's, and it was 1:20. A guy in my class beat that, with 1:25, and of course, I came out with 1 minute, and 21 seconds - 1:21. 2nd longest this year, and about 30 seconds higher then the next best girl. Woo.

2. I'm not sure whether I ever told you much about Pearse, but there was a good amount of interesting news regarding him last week. I was sitting in class, just doing work (or talking, whichever came first) when Derek leaned over and whispered to me, here is how it went:

Derek: Hey, Kelly..

Kelly(me): Yep, what's up?

Derek: Kelly, Pearse really likes you, do you like him??

Kelly: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. No.?

Derek, being Pearse's best friend was obviously going to relay that information to him, and when he did, I was shocked at how Pearse reacted. Here it is:

Pearse(enters class room a few days later..):By the way, Kelly, I don't have a crush on you.

Kelly(mildly surprised): Um, Good! I was hoping you'd say that..

The answer is YES - he DID anounce that in front of the entire class. WOW. THEN he continued bringing up how he didn't like me that way. All and all, Derek came up to me later and wispered in my ear "That was Pearse doing damage control.." Why is it that the one guy who actually has a thing for me just HAS to be him? Great.

3. A friend had a party on the weekend, which I couldn't make it to. (Had a competition all weekend) And some interesting stuff went on there.. Everyone was kicked out early (one girl was on the brink of alcohol poisoning..) Not such a good out come.

I don't think there was anything else really big, but I do have a few new friends to introduce you to!

Chloe - I've known her for over a year, but we've jut recently gotten close. It helps that we love the same sport!

Kelsey - Funny, funny girl, shes the reason I don't fall asleep half-way through the school day

Kristine - pretty girl, quite, but a blast once you get to know her!

Sarah - another new-ish friend. We seem to bond over the funniest things, and are the same, and polar opposites, all in one!

- xx, Kelly

On A Day Like This...

There is nothing better to do then write on a sunday night, when you really have nothing you should be doing. This week was the first-week-of-school-from-hell.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday almost nothing good happened, that honestly was the 'from-hell' portion of the week. I guess it wasn't as bad as it felt. I had four of those days that seem to never end in a row. Then friday night Vikki came over, and so that brought the week to a bit of a happier place. I've missed that girl, and we were starting to drift apart, but I think it mostly had to do with the fact that we were both busy this summer. Saturday I was with Vikki until about 2-3, then came home for a lovely night of homework and babysitting.

Isn't it funny how the nights that are supposed to be the calmest, and the most boring are the ones that spiral out of control? I always found it quite ironic. We all know this is going to start when Lindsay came home around 8:30, which was beyond weird, so when I went down to find out what was up I wasn't surprised to find a boy standing there. (I don't know him that well, but I know that he and Linds are more than friends)

Of course, as soon as I see him the door bell rings! Then another boy and three other people come in, this second boy and Linds are definitely more than friends. Lets call them Boy #1 and Boy #2 (Boy #1 will be the one who rang the door bell) so of course Boys #1 & 2 know that they are looking at the competition and the games begin!

Needless to say one of them was going to end up being babysat by me, the only sober one. Ding Ding, we have a winner. Lindsay spent the whole night with Boy #1, leaving me to deal with Boy #2. Needless to say that I didn't get much work done.

Then Lindsay's best friend comes up and blames me for telling her that the guy she likes hooked up with another girl.. Where did that come from? Turns out this guy is our friend Kristen's brother! He is just showing up everywhere!

I finally got Mac to call me so I could escape the yelling, screaming, complaining and everything in between.

Today was that uneventful day that is great, but leaves you feeling like you accomplished nothing.

C'est la vie.

Lets Fast-Forward To Summer 2010 Please...

The last weekend of summer, the most bitter-sweet weekend of the year. Lets start with a few quick updates:

- Linds had Kristen's brother over for the night.. kind of strange, but whatever, I guess she prefers a fling over a friend.

- I am 100% missing Kristie, especially after spending that week with her in Ireland, and now shes back at university

- Vikki has been acting kind of strange lately.. I don't know, I haven't seen her much, I guess you could say we're drifting apart.

Spent the weekend at the cottage, which was nice - other then the fact that as soon as we got in the boat the clouds made their appearance. Natalie and I were slalom skiing (double/together), and we passed by a boat with about 6-8 guys, ranging from the ages of about 18-24, who were not bad looking. We instructed whoever drove to pass their cottage whenever we skied, which helped with the scoping.

After we ate lunch on saturday we took the paddle board out and paddled past their cottage. On our way back Natalie made me paddle, and we (100% accident) tipped the board out front of their cottage (because they came in on their boat and I couldn't balance with the waves) The hottest of the group leaned over and this was our little conversation:

boy: Do you girls need my assistance? I'd be happy to help you.

Natalie: Haha, no we're alright

Kelly (to Natalie) wispers: Why did you say NO?

Then once we got back on the board and paddled away I took off the t-shirt I'd been wearing, which was totally see-thru (luckily I was wearing my bikini under) BUT, of course they had taken the boat out again and were right beside us, I know, good job Kelly. Got a few whistles for that, got to pretend I couldn't see them staring, lovely, right?

We continued to flirt with them for the rest of the weekend, and when we left Natalie in the water by their cottage after she'd fallen skiing she even had a nice talk with the dad, haha.

Today we drove home, and are getting ready for the dreaded first day of school. Nothing interesting other then the fact that there will be new boys to scope out at school tomorrow. Talked to Tiff as well, one of the guys that we hung out with when I was visiting her asked about me, and about when I'll be coming back to visit, haha. Why is it that I can catch the interests of guys that don't live anywhere near me, but not one in this city, Help?

Who's There To Save The Hero...

I walked in the door this afternoon after meeting with a few friends who were off to university, and you can only guess how shocked I was when Lindsay was in the kitchen with Kristen's older brother, no sign of Kristen. It didn't seem to faze Lindsay, but I thought it was kind of strange, especially when she has hooked up with him in the past and seriously hurt her friendship with Kristen. Ooohh Lindsay..

Talked to Tiffany again today, got all the news about Chicago and what she's been up to, getting ready for the new school, and obviously, scouting out the hot boys. So far, not much new on the Chicago front, or the SCHS boys.

So I've been listening to a ton of Beyonce lately, and I have to say, she is an amazing singer/entertainer. I went with Vikki to her concert in July, and I had never really loved her music. After listening to her sing her little heart out for 2 hours straight, I decided that she is now one of my all-time favorite artists.

Songs to Listen to:

Listen, Sweet Dreams, Save The Hero & Radio

Feel Free To Ship Me Off To Europe Until May...

I have to say, this year is the first year that I have SERIOUSLY despised the idea of going back to school. I mean, sure, I'm never jumping up and down in anticipation.. but at least Im happy to see friends, and get my brain out of its veg. state. Not quite the same this year.

Have you ever thought about how school would feel with out your closest friends? Yes well, thats what I have to look forward to September 8th, oh joy, right?

Oh, and I've been texting Reea for the past few days. Its a little strange, as we haven't talked all summer. We talked about schedule and such, nothing special. She says shes got stories for me, so I figure that once school rolls around you'll be hearing all about these!

This weekend was a cottage weekend, and a pretty gross one, at that. Despite the clouds, and sleeting rain, I did manage to get my butt out on the water to go windsurfing. GOD is it hard on the arms/shoulders/back. It is a blast though!

On an exciting note, Bailey is coming up for christmas! It seems like its ages away, but its 4 months, and counting! I feel like its been forever since I've seen her, and it pretty well has been. A year is a very long time to go without my dose of her!

I believe that I told you about Tiffany's cousin? Okay, well she went out to see him play football on friday, and met up with him and a few of his friends afterwards. Once they went back to see family, Tiffany asked him for one of his friend's phone numbers, and you know what his response was? "Only if you give me Kelly's." Thats right, I'll continue about him a bit later on. But for now, this guy needs a name. Lets go with Chicago. I think that suits him.

The Sweetest Memories...

I choose to believe, that the sweetest memories are made at high speeds, spectacular heights, or great depths.

Rock climbing to the top of a cliff, and taking the time to admire the view below...

Scuba diving/Snorkeling and watching the underwater world dance around you...

Flying above beautiful land at amazing speed...

Today was one of those days. I met up with a friend, who I don't get to see very often (and seeing as she is off to 1st year in a week, that doesn't look like it will change) and we had one of those high-speed adventures.

Can't you just picture running down a beach, wind in your hair, sun shining? Yes, well think of that, with a few changes. I can't say exactly what we were doing, seeing as its against the rules where we were, and probably messes with the insurance, but those who know me well can guess where I was.

Talked to Emmie today, GOD do I miss that girl! She is fun to chat with, and our conversations seem to cover every topic imaginable! I've been texting Tiffany a lot since I got back, things don't seem to be going that smoothly with her dad, hopefully that improves, fingers crossed!

Cottage tomorrow, the only up-side to that is that Caleigh, Natalie and Jessie are going to be up, and they have been away for a month, so it should be nice to see them again!

Welcome to My Obsession...

As I said in the other post, school is on its way - less than two weeks of summer left!

SO, in order to start off the new year nicely, I bought a new pair of school shoes!

They're pretty plain, but they do have a bit of a buckle that I'm worried I wont get away with. We shall see! (Link to the shoes - below)

Its a Girl Thing...

Got back from Tiffany's yesterday at midnight, which was bitter-sweet. I loved spending the better part of a week with her, but it really hit me that I wont see her anywhere near as much, maybe not for a few months. We did a TON of shopping, especially because shes going to a new school - and its NOT all girls, like her previous one was. One thing that I learned being there, is that I am really glad that my parents are my parents. Tiffany doesn't really get along with her dad - and with good reason.

Funny thing - she texts her cousin a lot, and so she told him that I was visiting. He asked about me, and asked for my facebook. Obviously I gave it to him, who wouldn't? Sure, its her cousin, but hes FIT and 2 years older then me. Yes, it does break my usual only-one-year-older-no-more-no-less thing, but thats fine. Hes a decent guy. Or as he said - a 'relationship' guy who isn't a fan of the one-date-then-done method, which is good to know that there are guys who aren't like that! There is Hope!

On a less amusing and more annoying note - I left my iPod on the train ride home. It was late when I got off, so I blame it on the long day, but it still sucks.

Vikki is in the city! I will hopefully get to see her, Emmie and Belle before the school year starts up again, and Kristie - GOD school is getting close.

The Truth Hurts...

Went out with Kristie today! We saw Ugly Truth with Gerard Butler (hes sooo gorgeous) and Katherine Heigl. Some people love watching the romantic comedies, but I find that it makes me feel ever worse about the fact that I'm perpetually single, and that when a decent guy does come along, theres always a complication. (ie. hes moving, I'm moving, we live in different cities.. even different countries!) Bad luck? Maybe.

I also saw one of the girls I met in Ireland this week, we hung out - the usual. It was her last night in the city before leaving for a cottage, so we obviously had to make it worth her while.

Going to visit Tiffany tomorrow! That should be fun, I haven't seen her in a few months. Lets keep our fingers crossed that there are some cute boys in her new neighbourhood!

An update on Thumper: haven't talked to him in around two weeks, and I am officially done with him, sadly. He is moving in a few weeks, and wont be back in the city until christmas. To be honest, I've always wondered if her actually likes me...

It's In My Blood...

Well, my latest adventure took Kristie and I on a 7 hour plane ride to Ireland. We flew to Dublin, then drove 2 hours to where we would be staying - GORGEOUS. I think Ireland is in my blood, because coming home was torture! As a future note to anyone traveling to Ireland - a week is NOT long enough. Kristie and I were only there for a week, and so we are already planning our next year's trip!

We visited different sights, the usual tourism, met a few 'P.S. I Love You' boys, and mostly just enjoyed! Made some new friends - Canadian, British, German, and Irish, of course! 

Seeing as I haven't written for a bit, heres what happened since the previous post:

I hung out with Thumper and Kristen again, but guess what!? Nothing happened! Not that its surprising, but its okay, he was fun, and it was cute while it lasted!

Finally got to see Belle and Marc! GOD had I missed them! We walked in the rain for a few hours, the usual Ice Cream run , then went our seperate ways. 

The rest of the time, I was at the cottage or packing for Ireland, and shopping shopping shopping!

If He Doesn't Call, Hes Not Going To ...

I spent the majority of my monday night with Lindsay, Kristen and another friend playing Kings, drinking Martinis and waiting for Thumper to show up. When he did join us, we switched from Kings to Never Have I Ever. One of Kristen's was the obvious "never have I ever had sex." Slowly Lindsay, her friend and Thumper all pick up their glasses. 

What was I wondering? Who Thumper had had sex with, of course. It turns out, he lost it to a girl that I have known for about 4 years, and avoid at all costs. She used to be one of Lindsay's best friends, but with her track record, I'm not surprised that didn't last long. 

Moving backwards, I first met Thumper when my parents were out of town, leaving Caleigh, Natalie and I alone in the house. Caleigh invited a bunch of people over, and thats when Thumper and I started talking. I saw him at a few other jams, but nothing happened.

The Last Bit of Catch-Up...

Here is a little summary to catch you up on the past month or so - 

June - school ends, exams are over - thank god. Stayed in the city for a few weeks, saw Belle and Emmie, and then left on my way to my favorite part of the world.

July - spent the first week and a bit in Europe with Lindsay, traveling through a few different countries, then headed home. Went out with Caleigh a few times, saw Thumper. Caught up with Emmie and Angel after being away for so long. 

That pretty much brings you up to date, though it is very vague. Once things become more recent, you'll find more detail.

Lets Take a Few Steps Backwards Here...

Hello everyone, and welcome to Live.Love.Spend.Travel. 

This blog is primarily anonymous for the sake of anyone involved in my posts, though I will be going by the name Kelly. I am starting this so I am able to write about some of my favorite things, from traveling to shopping and everything in between. Please, if you do find out who I am keep it to yourself, I want to be able to keep this going, and if people find out who I am I can't do that.
