We'll Party Like It's Our Last Day...

There are a lot of things I still have to do before I die.

I decided I'd give you my current list:

1. Finish high school and University
2. Compete in the Olympics [and win, preferably]
3. Live in at least one of the following: Ireland, Greece, England, France and Spain
4. Get married [have kids]
5. Fly a helicopter
6. Watch the Northern Lights [from the Arctic]
7. See as many countries as I can [All over Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, etc.]
8. Run the most prestigious company in my specialty
9. Bungee Jump
10. Parasail
11. Heliski
12. Design the house I live in
13. Win a lottery [not necessarily the lottery, but a lottery]
14. Visit the wonders of the world
15. Rock climb all over the world
16. Scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef and the Galapagos Islands
17. Save a life
18. Retire [only to continue working as a "hobby"]
19. Live without debt
20. Be happy, healthy, and active

This is a work in progress, but I think that it's pretty accurate so far.

And, of course, last but not least:

I still have to Live, Love, Spend, Travel.

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.

Queen of Everything The Eye Can See...

You remember, I'm sure, everything about my friend switching schools? [if not, see the post directly below this] Well, I was talking to Reea [who is best friends with her] today and she was saying that the other girl is coming back to our school. Reea and a few other girls apparently went over to her house yesterday and talked her out of switching. Long story short - a lot of useless drama.

Another little bit of wasted time - Reea and Derek are back together. I believe they broke up for a weekend. Pointless? I'd say so. Maybe there is a real reason for the madness... although there probably isn't.

Saw Cassie yesterday, and had absolutely no motivation to do anything whatsoever. Soooo, we didn't really do much. Penelope was also there for a few minutes, but i arrived just as she was leaving.

On the Pearse front - nothing has really happened. I'm starting to notice the "casual" flirting more and more, and there always seem to be these awkward encounters. Lola and I were talking this morning and he came up to us, and started talking to me. Lo pointed out that it wasn't a, "Hey Kelly, Hey Lola..." type thing, but more of a, "Hey Kelly."

Crossing my fingers that it's all my imagination!

Alright, this is the end of my little update, have to finish a few assignments and walk the dog [Larissa - that means you too!] and maybe [just maybe] sleep tonight?

- xx, Kelly.

Maybe It's The Way The Night Is Still...

In one day the tables seem to have turned, drastically. A girl that I've been friends with and gone to school with since 2nd grade switched schools as of today - but no one knows. She was supposed to have a party before the break, and her parents came home early from wherever they were and found out, and it was moved to another girl's house. She wasn't there that night but that didn't surprise me. Anyways, one of my friends (Noelle) texted me asking if she was switching schools. Turns out she switched to Noelle's school.

And then, her best friend, Reea and her year long boyfriend (Derek) are no more.

Chloe told me, and then pointed out how hes got sort of an emo hair style at the moment. (although, his hair is pretty short, so it only covers 1/2 an inch of his forehead.. but still)

Noelle - a best friend since grade 2 - we used to live across the street from each other and spent every waking hour together. I haven't seen her in forever, but fingers-cross that will change soon

Ohhh, lastly, I have another little Chicago story.

I was talking to Tiffany yesterday and she was telling me about Chicago's visit over New Years and how all her friend were going craaazy over him [this made me laugh] Anyways, she was saying that her family was trying to get him to go to University near them, and saying that he could stay over and visit on weekend and such. Sooo, Tiffany goes,

"I guess you'll have to sleep on the couch whenever Kelly visits.."

and Chicago replies, "Naah why would I do that? We can share her bed."

- xx, Kelly.

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.

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?

-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.

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

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?
