lol

today's quote...

i happened to stumble upon today's quote from reading something on Tumblr. now i'm quite intrigued. i want to pick up this book at the library.

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
— Louise Erdrich (The Painted Drum: A Novel)

mixed feelings about the day...

graduation at pius was good.
found out kelly culbertson is in the hospital =(
and her mom left in tears; i'm not sure of the details, but i'm really concerned...
also found out today that one of my friends that i met this year, dustan, was diagnosed with cancer last week. he begins his chemo treatments on monday. and he's only 29. =( that's got to be terrible to hear. i couldnt imagine hearing those words. ='( im so sorry dustan.....=/

ughhh...but other than that...i guess the day was alright, just a bit crappy in between.

Tanya's Mom...

just got diagnosed with PSP. =(

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative brain disease that has no known cause, treatment or cure. They affect nerve cells that control walking, balance, mobility, vision, speech, and swallowing. Five to six people per 100,000 will develop PSP. Symptoms begin, on average, when an individual is in the early 60's, but may start as early as in the 40's. PSP is slightly more common in men than women, but PSP has no known geographical, occuptional or racial preference.

all these "uncurable" things...suck =(

so much for sleep.

idk y, but i've really been into thinking about certain quotes lately.

these are a few on the top of my list...

1.) Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.- Mother Teresa
2.) Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.- Author Unknown
3.) The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought us progress.- Charles Kettering
4.) By preserverace, the snail reached the ark.- Charles Spurgeon
5.) The best place to succeed is where u are with what you’ve got.- Charles M. Schwab

too many charles’…but pretty good quotes.] :)

okay so...

this quote is supposed to be funny, but i disagree. lol

“I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re goin’, and hook up with them later.”
— Mitch Hedberg

i like following my dreams. not only is it an interesting journy, but the elements of surprise along the way make it all even more worth-while. :) hardships you'll cross, mountains you'll climb over, but it's all worth the ride. :)

yayyyy =D

idk, i'm just in a really good mood right now. :)
karate [both, as well as wendy's] was / were awesome.
a lovely routine that will hopefully [somehow] continue thru the summer. :) lol
but, i actually felt like i got a worth-while work out tonight.
less distractions, more time to concentrate.
i utilized my environment to help me improve on my techniques.
[mr. larry witnessed...i set up two chairs to improve the height of my kicks.]
an ideal environment w/ wonderful ppl.
and fun day should be cool tooooooo. :)

gnite ppl, i gotta be up early 2moro. might go by pius & help the library ppl clean up.
then have to be at helen's in the afternoon.
aaaand DEVYN'S GRADUATION IS TOMORROW NIGHT!! =D

but anyhow, i'm going to bed now. :) gniteeeee =D

quote.

“The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”
— George Santayana

images to ponder...

Took this pic @ Food Lion - Wonderbread...ha...ahaha... =P

=(


A very interesting contraption...piano...and...???

Small parking fail.

Idk...it just seems cool. =P

sometimes, i wish i was born in this era...

just so i could dress like them & live life in a completely different time.
i wish i knew what it was life first-hand.
i envy my mom for living during this time. lol

ABBA - "S.O.S."

it's not entirely correct, but it's still funny...

Ich Bin Dein Gummibär

blergh...

so, i've come to the conclusion that tumblr is a bit more epic than blogspot.
however, i'm still guna keep this page b/c i enjoy following 2 particular blogs. :)

...was priceless!!

hahah...im never going to forget that whole "and i think she wants your number..." thing...the napkin & everything...uhm...OMG MISS O!!! geez!! lol, though it was incredibly hilarious & cute, gahhh...ha, i was definitely blushing. devin escalante. ha...wowwww. XD =P >.<

haha...luv ya :)


but yes, gaby's graduation was lovely. the ruby tuesday's trip afterward made the day ever so much better, and the afterparty @ gaby's was fun too. lauren & i went back to her house & chilled for a bit, took the dog she's babysitting for a walk, and now i'm back here. *yawn* i guess ima hit the hay. but gahh...today was awesome! XD

Friday, May 22, 2009

& ive got a headache :(
*kel*
Stupid screen on my phone is 2 small...i cant believe im still up...i need 2 stop thinking & go 2 sleep, but i cant shut my eyes...ugghhhh
*kel*

still awake...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2KoSiF4Naw
[whose line is it anyway bloopers...]

whyyyyyy am i still up?

b/c i cant sleep.

and i'm thinking too much.

about everything.

so i'm eating.

pasta, cookies, pretty much anything i can get my hands on. >.<

Thursday, May 21, 2009

i'm so utterly confused.... -_-

i want to go, but i dont want to intrude. but it'd be so awesome to watch...even the trip there would be awesome. it'd be like part of a dream come true...

b/c this afternoon was awesome in itself. lol =P per usual. XD

but...i mean...if the intruding part is the part i'm so worried about [well, not "worried" about...but uuugh...], then i guess the money i'd spend on the trip could be saved for the following semester's books...considering i've got the first semester covered already.

*sigh*

[same blog is on my tumblr. no reason to check there too...]

quote analysis x2

"You got a lot going for you if you don't let yourself get in the way."

i need to be more open minded, a bit more positive, and look into the opportunities at hand before letting them fly away in the wind. i need to stop stressing out so much and deal with any problem at hand logically. i need to stop being so sensitive...& as of late, i feel as tho i'm getting better at that concept...i finally have a backbone. lol. but did i miss anything? i gathered all the above.

[thanks for the advice...you know who you are.]


"I rarely have anyone jump to my aid as you always do."

as for this quote, just call me thumper. ;)
[wait...that is the rabbit, right? in bambi? ive never seen the movie...but rabbits jump, right? no they hop...no, same thing...right?!?!] >.<


alrite, im tired...must sleep. gots stuff 2 do 2moro. :)

Saturday, May 16, 2009

gcc was fun-tastic, per usual. in the company of good ppl. :)
i brought my laptop to the competition, and in doing so discovered i had a blog comment that indeed made my day a bit brighter...as if it werent already lol. but the comment really did help...so...thanks..... :)
mom called while i was on my mcdonalds run for miss o and i...and when i told her that i was at the gcc thing, she said something along the lines of "you've got wonderful friends there...you just love helping out with st. pius stuff, dont you?" and of course i said yes. lol, i was smiling from ear to ear. :) mom's right, that school and ALL the people i have befriended because of that school...i'll never give them up, they'll always be a part of me. :) y'all know who y'all are. :)
anyways...i went to bed last night at 1:48am, woke up at 6:14 and have been awake since.
breakfast, gcc and its assorted travels to mcd's and what not, stop by pius, and work...i just got off @ 11...*yawn* i..am..TIRED!!!
therefore, i'm going to bed now.
g'nite world :)

long rant / idk what...? =/

okay, so today i find out that devyn AND meagan morse are both the valedictorians for this year at ryan academy. -_- i mean, i'm happy for the both of them, but knowing that meagan is also the valedictorian makes me feel like i worked so hard and fought for what i believed in at ryan academy for nothing. -_- she was completely all for using textbooks and notes on mid-terms and finals. i refused to open a single book, and i STILL got perfect scores. granted she got As or Bs, but after all...it's ryan academy...a baboon could go to that school and pass with flying colors. -_- i feel as though being valedictorian my senior year means nothing anymore. all that i worked for...all that i fought for...all that i tried to improve in that school...uuugh! im not jealous or anything, i just SAW how she went through high school, and i do not believe that she should have been valedictorian because everything was handed to her on a fucking silver platter, and i actually tried to take the road less traveled and WORK FOR MY GRADES. i'm not jealous...i just dont believe in the way in which she achieved "valedictorian status." -_- granted, it being ryan academy, i didnt have to work hard at all to attain my passing grades...however, it's the principle of the damn thing. =/ idc...ryan academy really didnt prepare me for college what-so-FUCKING-ever. -_- i achieved my grades these past two semesters at ODU due to the study skills i obtained at St. Pius...along with attempting to analyze a certain "elven" book last year. ;) but i mean...idk...i'm glad for her i guess...my road to being valedictorian was just as easy...it's RYAN ACADEMY...

idk...it makes me feel like...like...just another average student i guess. i mean, i've always know that i wasnt the smartest cookie out of the ol' "giggle patrol" of pius days. lauren, gaby, katie, shannon...they've ALWAYS had me beat. they continue to do so with their AP classes and acceptance letters to various colleges i would adore to go to. when i was valedictorian last year, i was on top of the world...thinking i was finally of their status and had something to my name...thinking that speech of inspiration [driven by my inspiration] would actually have some sort of affect on someone.

boy was i wrong. =/

idc...i'm still going to persue my dreams, work towards my ultimate goal and refuse to let anything stand in my way. this is but only a little setback...though it will ring in my mind forever...

weakest funniest vid i've ever seen XD

richard simmons on Whose Line is it Anyway. XD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ_lXJTaT5g

today was fun :)

pius - gcc - fun, as always :) went to taco bell afterwards :) and karate was awesome too :) brittney came back to class......

nuff sed.

gnite all...i'ma go get some reading done [kaben nine, thank you very much...posts should be up soon] and hit the hay. :)

aerosmith // pink

i've come to the conclusion that the music video i just found for "pink" by aerosmith is BY FAR the trippiest thing i have watched in a while. >.<

[and yes, the new embedding for vids on youtube still confuses me, so...the link will have to suffice.] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLRLhV9U0kQ

today...was disheartening. =/

found out that my pen pal's mother passed away. [teresa...she lives in germany...her and her mum were very close.] =(

then found out something from mr. voskuhl that made the day worse. =(

and now finding out something from devyn that makes me want to beat the living hell out of the person that committed the crime of vandalizm to her car. -_- some bitch at her work wrote "slut" all over her car because the security guard at their work asked devyn out instead of her...who's the REAL slut. she sleeps around with every guy possible because she's so desperate. this is devyn's first boyfriend and she's got the morals that this "dani" character lacks greatly.

receiving my provisional red belt today was basically the only highlight...now, may i use those wonderful karate skills on that bitch ass motherfucker dani. -_- uuuugh. >.<

=)

i feel like a princess!! =D

just sayin :)

Sunday, May 10, 2009

mom :)

spoke to mommie today! :) she got to say hi to my food lion family. it was so sweet. she was crying the majority of the time on the phone and steven, roy and dana all came close to shedding tears. i love them, lol. but i miss mom so much. she wants us to come up there to visit soon, but ever since nancy's been out of a job, we're unable to afford it right now. =/ we'll go up over the summer though. she was so happy to talk to me. i'm glad i made her day. :) <3

Richard Marx lyrics

Ready to Fly

I've been trying to open the door
To the secret of my destiny
And every new road I think is the one
Seems to lead right back to me

I've looked for a way to be wiser
A way to be strong
Now I see the answer was hiding
In me all along

[Chorus:]
And I'm ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood
Like so many others I know
So busy tryin' to keep holdin' on
When I should've been letting go

I was given the gift to find it
The spirit inside me
But I never really imagined
All I could be

[Chorus:]
And I'm ready to fly
Over the sunLike a rocket to heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

The answer to all of my wonder
Was right in my hands
Now it's time for me to discover
All that I am

[Chorus:]
And I'm ready to fly
Over the sunLike a rocket to heaven
And I'm ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high
I've always had wings
But I wasn't ready to fly

I've always had wings
Now I'm finally ready to fly

yet another mother's day is fast approaching and the possibility of spending it with my mom is nonexistent. this will be the 8th consecutive year that i will not be spending this celebratory day with my mother. granted, a simple phone call each year on this day MORE than makes her day brighter...however, to spend it with her would be absolutely amazing. if only she knew everything that has been going on in my life for the past few months...past few years really...*sigh* i could write an entire book just to be able to let my mom in on my life...and i wish i was there for hers. i honestly dont know how she makes it up there. it would kill me to be away from family and friends...but the effects of the disease simply wash many of those memories away. sure she remembers me, nancy & grady, etc...but she's told me that she wishes she could remember all of her childhood and her past...not just parts of it all. =/ if there was something i could do right now just to make things all better...i would. not only for mom, but...yeah, everyone. idk...it just kind of hit me today that i spent my entire teenage life without my true mother figure by my side...holding my hand only to let go when this butterfly had grown wings. to mom, i'm still her baby...more so than in the eyes of other mothers and their daughters...but i just wish at least part of it could have been semi-normal. granted...i'm glad everything in my past played out the way it did...it's made me who i am today, and i'm grateful for every part of it, but you know...i guess you'd just have to be in my shoes to understand.

mom, i just want you to know that no matter how far apart we are i'll always be by your side. i'll always have you in my heart. constantly thinking the memories we shared. every aspect of my childhood that we spent together will linger in my heart and mind for years to come. i love you mom...happy mother's day. <3

news channel 3 yesterday...

nancy & grady were on. =/ a
pparently they had a lot of damage from the storms yesterday. =(
and a tree fell on their next door neighbor's house.
but stumpy [the cat that stays outside] is fine.

i just feel really bad for them though.
nancy is still without a job...

yay!

ahh yay! the text messaging blogger works with complete success. :) it even sends a text back saying the message was posted to your blog. [awesomeness] :)

work was absolutely hilarious yesterday. turns out Bucky is our new soda refill guy. [idk what they're called...] but he used to go to ryan. and of course steven was working yesterday while the soda guys were there...and bucky walked by and was like "omg...kellie..????" and i turn around & he gives me a hug, and steven goes "aw...im jealous." [ha..haha...] so later, steven was like "you knew him?" & i'm like "yeah...he went to my high school..." and he was like "oh....i'd do him." I WAS WEAK!!!!! ahahah...i couldnt stop laughing, and the three customers in my line were weak too. omg...it was GREAT!! XD ahahaha!! =P [the rest of work was good too...per usual.]


anyways...i've been working on my index cards/studying/what have you for my history exam on thursday. >.< im just about drained. lol...however all the studying i did for the chem exam paid off - 91!! =D yee! lol. my overall grade in the class was a solid B. so it's all good. ;D

so now, i think ima take a short siesta before i head over to pius. willow and i are already under my covers...and the weather is icky. lol =P [see?? she's sleeeeeeeping. =P haha]


Just testing to see if the text message blogger works...

update. [weekend & what not...]

had a pretty interesting/fun weekend :)

friday - yee! =P 'nuff sed... at least for what i remember lol =P shock treatment was awesome. and the "after party" @ my sister's was uhm...interestingly fun. ;)

saturday - studied most of the morning. we were surprisingly slow at work, considering it's the first of the month weekend and we're normally swamped. got off @ 4:45, ending my seven and a half hour shift, and picked up crystal. we went to the mall & got some hella cute clothes & i got my ears pierced! finallyyyyy =D lol yay! & we went back to her house and FAILED beyond belief at trying to apply fake nails. it was beyond epic failure. super gluing our fingers together FAILURE. so then we went over to edric's house and chilled for a while before the manny pacquiao fight started. [and i got schooled on why he was so important...and why lauren's parent were screaming obscenities at the television from time to time.] XD but alas, i had to leave. i was mega tired. i didnt get to bed this morning until nearly three. and i was up at 8 something. >.<

sunday - [today] - im going to continue studying the entire morning. note cards seemed to help with the last test, so i'm probably going to make s'more for this wonderful final as well. it's tomorrow @ noon. angelique and i are both terrified about the test. >.<

alrite, ima grab a bite to eat and continue studying. hadta take a break from the textbooks...my eyes were just about to become permanently crossed. >.< lol. i'll try adding some more quotes to analyze once finals are over. i only have to take chem & history [thursday @ 8am...-_-]

peace. :)
