They go by so quick." <br /><br />Stimulus Nick shook his fist at the air. <br />"I'll fill all your orders! I really do care!" <br />But folks couldn't hear him. <br />They went back to applying. <br />Just one more try <br />to keep spirits flying.Kellie-Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13694710820398042217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423128530697590089.post-75261777868308312172009-11-23T18:23:00.000-05:002009-11-23T18:25:33.260-05:00i love you.always remember that...okay? no matter what. unconditionally. <3Kellie-Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13694710820398042217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423128530697590089.post-8742706716603891842009-11-11T09:54:00.001-05:002009-11-11T09:54:56.870-05:00All i ask of you,<br>is believe...Kellie-Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13694710820398042217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423128530697590089.post-22199051996417977492009-11-05T17:53:00.001-05:002009-11-05T17:53:24.751-05:00a few of my favorite quotes..."It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone." — Rose Kennedy<br /><br />"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 <br /><br />"The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called... Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success." - Unknown.<br /><br />“I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It’s the universe’s way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It’s how life is.” — The Truth About Forever by Sarah DessenKellie-Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13694710820398042217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423128530697590089.post-76349197152455118892009-10-29T21:19:00.002-04:002009-10-29T22:15:28.349-04:00i just miss you......that's all. <br /><br />i dont like change. even though i know this type of change shouldnt affect me at all. but i miss spending time together and just goofing off. we still do that sometimes...but not as much b/c you're so busy. and that's understandable. i'm busy too. that's what's been bugging me all this time. i'll get over it, just give me a while.<br /><br />im going to continue with karate. i love it at pius, as i always have, and i want my blackbelt now more than ever. seeing myself in the blackbelt line at the beginning of class...standing right by your side. i want to prove that i can make it to blackbelt and even beyond that. i know i can...but i still want to prove it. and i will. motivation is my drive, amongst other things. <br /><br />i have my regrets...but that just pushes me to prove myself even faster. and once again, i will. and i'll get my degree in therapeutic recreation, and that day...i'll be so proud...knowing that in the back of mind ive reached a goal...only to move on to even bigger aspirations. <br /><br />you've taught me so much already...and all of those things, i keep with me every day. i oft' find myself asking "what would she do?" if i encounter an issue. sometimes i dont listen, but i find myelf going back and saying i should have. <br /><br />bottom line - yes, ive got a lot to learn...i'm only human lol, but i think i'm doing an ok job so far. much work still needs to be done, but my ultimate goal is not going to change b/c i always think of you [and someone else]. i'm always ready to jump to your side if you need something...as i do with a lot of people, but that's just who i am. even if it's just grabbing a target from across the room for the karate class, i'll do it. lol...<br /><br />i know you've told me so many times that nothing's going to change...but to a degree, a lot of things already have. but one thing will never change...i'll always be here for you as a friend. im not "clingy", over-sensitive, over-attached, or anything like that...i just care. it's who ive always been, and will continue to be. <br /><br />thus, i'm ending this post tonight saying that i never want to lose you [or anyone i care so much about]. granted...ive said that before...a lot...but i just needed it in print. now that i've said all that's on my mind, i'm going to get a good night's sleep after i finish my last bit of homework.<br /><br />good night. :)Kellie-Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13694710820398042217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423128530697590089.post-4747935597036530572009-10-06T21:40:00.002-04:002009-10-06T21:44:58.947-04:00seriously? you guys suck.no one's ever on this thing anymore!!! this is exhibit A why tumblr is more epic than blogspot. so...until you guys start posting things here again, i'll be on tumblr. :) <3Kellie-Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13694710820398042217noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423128530697590089.post-76771135615298435922009-10-05T21:21:00.001-04:002009-10-05T21:24:04.919-04:00a day in the life of Superman.yes, once again i'm perusing youtube when i shouldn't be and stumble upon something epic. apparently this episode of Whose Line is it Anyway never aired...but it's the "sound effects" skit with colin & ryan...and they're doing <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsuvN2Qj998">"a day in the life of superman..."</a></strong> ENJOY! :D<br /><br />[click the hyperlink!!]Kellie-Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13694710820398042217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423128530697590089.post-73149618307210202792009-10-03T22:01:00.001-04:002009-10-03T22:02:41.577-04:00been a while since i analyzed a quote......but this one needs not an analyzation. it's self explainatory...and i agree completely.<br /><strong><br />"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.'

[we're also holding a picnic the week before on the 10th...rain or shine either on the lawn of the education building or inside. once again - STOKED! met up with a few old friends from pius as well as a few from last semester. [oh, and lauren - we're having lunch with my friend Erinn on friday...btw] ;) uhm...what else...my favorite class thus far, granted it's only three days into the semester, is literature. the first author we studied was Stephen King. [yay!!] and soon we'll begin good ol' Poe. :) public speaking is nice as well. our first speech was due this morning, and [yay!] i aced it. [we were graded on the spot.] computer science - haha...it's like a repeat of pius. THANK YOU MISS O!!! we pretty much just have to do random projects demonstrating that we know how to use the various programs in Microsoft Office. [publisher, word, excell, etc...] so, that class should also be an easy A. english - the first chapter of the text we were to read was more interesting than i thought. so i'm glad for that. i think that's pretty much it right now in the education department.<br /><br />aside from that, i'll FINALLY be getting back to karate at pius tomorrow. wanted to get a bit settled prior to getting back in full swing of all my activities. [which all good students should do...haha] so, between school, karate, work, and the uber amounts of homework, y'all can expect posts on here periodically...like tonight when i've completed all my assignments and have a few minutes of relaxation. <br /><br />for now, i'm off to slumber; giving my brain a much needed rest after <em><strong>a hard day's night</strong></em>. ;) <br /><br /><3 kelKellie-Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13694710820398042217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423128530697590089.post-66368792433191869232009-08-31T22:32:00.000-04:002009-08-31T22:33:47.515-04:00email from aunt nancy...EEP!!! =DHi Sweetie!<br />We now have tickets for Grease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
