It's Just A Dance Hall Drug...

Ooooh dear - this is not only a busy week, but it's leading up to a busy weekend. Tomorrow I'll be at the barn riding, and starting to pack for the show sunday, and then meeting up with Kelsey, Kristine, Darcy, Sarah, hopefully Chloe, and more. Saturday I'm at the barn, again, riding, finishing packing and then show prep - bath time for the horses, etc. and then a sleepover at Cassie's house so we can get the horses on the trailer for 6am Sunday morning. Yaaay.. Oh well, I'm sososooo excited to start showing again [the gap between seasons is toooo big!] and Monday is a holiday so it's all good, I'll catch up on sleep then.

Tiffany is out visiting Chicago, I was supposed to go with her, until I realized it was the same weekend as this show. Ooh well, I should see them both in June, so I can wait.

Found out yesterday[I think it was yesterday?] that the parentals are thinking of getting another car, technically another family car, but majorly for me because of the barn I ride at outside of the city. Of course, without asking me for my input, they found my favorite car, and are thinking of getting it. YES. Good choice mum and dad!

- xx, Kelly.

Left Me Here With My Mistakes...

School is like a whirlwind right now, especially when things are picking up sport-wise as well. Friday, Chloe and I hung out and had some fun roaming the fields at a place just outside the city - ran into some porcupines, please note*: they're not so friendly..

Saturday I went and saw Cassie [Chloe and I saw her friday as well] and then Tiffany came and picked me up from there and we went shopping! It was awsome to see her, especially because it's been 2 months since I've seen I last visited her. She slept over, and we spent the night eating, facebook creeping, talking to Chicago [who I always have quite memorable conversations with] and we also made a late night Tim Horton's run.. just couldn't resist the temptation of chocolate donuts and toasted bagels with cream cheese - soooo good. Oh lovely, I'm hungry now.

Sunday I went up north [Cassie was there too, although I hadn't realized she would be] this was the first time my mom had see the place, and she was in awe. It's an unbelievable place. Aaand today was your average, why-did-I-even-bother-waking-up?-type monday mornings. Love them.

First period today, however, was quite interesting. The phys-ed class opposite mine is a freshmen boys gym class. Their teacher, the nicest one at my school in my opinion, was not happy. Someone had written really rude comments on the attendance sheet the class before and he had gotten in trouble for it. When no one in the class confessed he decided to opt for an interesting form of punishment. The entire class had to run around the 400m track for an hour and 15 minutes. It was painful to watch, but no one fessed up, so their gym classes are only going to consist of running until they do. The only positive[ish] note on this story is that near the end of class as the boys were running a few of them took off their shirts. Now, lets be serious here, grade 9 boys, it's not possible to be legit jacked. Even my gym teacher commented. She said, "woow, these guys are scraaaawnyyy!"

- xx, Kelly.

#26 don't lie to her.

Boy, Your Halo Is Turning Red...

Honestly, if it wasn't for my handy little blackberry, after not writing for 6 days I wouldn't know what to tell you. Lucky for you [and me] going through my text message history is pretty good at reminding me of all major and minor events:

Wednesday, Tiffany and I were talking about this boy that lives near her when we got into a little argument [not a serious argument - it was a total joke] about who would get more guys out of the two of us. We decided to get a 3rd party's vote, so Tiffany texted Chicago with the question. He came back with something along the line of this:

"Kelly would definitely get more guys - but you [Tiffany] are more of the girlfriend type than she is. The guys Kelly gets probably wont stick."

I don't know if he intended on making me sound like I sleep around, I don't think so, but whatever - even though it wasn't the ideal answer, I won and Tiffany didn't. Later on Penelope came over for a little bit before we headed off to meet up with Cassie. I filled her in on everything that had happened on my trip, and everything Tiffany and I had done [including that dream] Friday I saw Cassie again, and sorted out working with her this summer! Saturday night I went out for sushi for a friend's birthday, and afterwards a bunch of people went back to her house and watched Harry Potter. Low key night, but it was fun to dress up and go out for dinner and spend time with her, as I don't see her all that often. Sunday I went skiing with Natalie and Caleigh, which was nice seeing as I haven't been since going out west at Christmas.

Today, went to school, the usual until last period, Pearse and I were talking and as much as I deny it, it does seems like he's a little too interested in my responses and how I react to what he says/does, for it to be just as 'friends'. I started thinking about what it would be like to date him, and had to stop. Not that he's a horrible person, I just reeeally can't date him. First of all, he dated Carina. But honestly, I just don't like him that way. I mean, can you say unbelievably awkward?

-xx, Kelly.

#8 laugh with her

They'll Think Its Just Because We're Young...

Aaaaaatt Tiffany's! We spent most of the day shopping, got a few amaaazing things:

1. Citizens of Humanity jeans
2. A lush floral tank from Nordstrom
3. Kate Spade bangles (in pink and white)
4. and a few other shirts and things

And then Tiffany and I were talking to Chicago about our shopping and we got into a nice little conversation about how I'm expensive:

Chicago- "woow, how much does she charge a night?"

Tiffany- "$1675.69"She has

Chicago- ".69 cents? nice touch"

Tiffany- "Yep, even strippers and prostitutes have to pay their taxes"

Chicago- "Sounds like she gets a lot of business.."

Tiffany- "Shes has a VIP client list"

Chicago- "Damnn, shes a top dog"

So somewhere in there i went from an addicted shopper to a prostitute? nice. Love how I'm turning into all these lovely things..

New friend to add to the list -

Kiley - a girl I met in Ireland this summer, her brother and Natalie are good friends - possibly more? too cuteee

- xx, Kelly.

#5 kiss her slowly

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.

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.

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

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

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.
