Happy Memorial Day! 8)
It feels like a beach day. And I can gaurantee that about 45% of S.D. felt the same thing. heh :lol:
Yesterday I hung out with Nicole and Josh, and that was fun. Someone toilet paper'ed her house, so we cleaned it up...and then delivered retribution. :D Nothing too bad...we just put it all in a bag and dumped it all back on the person's yard. :lol: I've never been "tp-ing" before, and I've never been out past curfew without my parents actual blessing before either. We got home at about 12:45. Luckily, my parents weren't pissed (we'd been in contact and such). So it was super fun! (Snaps for staying out late! sorry, random Legally Blonde references)
I have discovered that I am truly oblivious. To guys. We (Nicole and I) were at Starbucks and I was being nice with the gu at the counter, and he was being nice back, but I didn't think anything of it. I finsih and go over to Nicky and she's like "he was SO flirting with you!" and I'm like "really?!" lol. Maybe I need to, oh I don't know, pay attention more. (He was kinda icky though. like he hadn't washed his hair in a while. lol) Anyway.
Come and go with me! whoa whoa whoa whoooaaa
I love The Beach Boys.
So my mommy got me two movies for graduation, but she forgot to hide them so I saw them. She got me Maurice, and Barefoot in the Park. LOVE! :D *hugs mommy* I'm not sure if I get them early cause I know, but damn do I want to watch Barefoot in the Park. Awesome movie, from a play. I recommend.
I need you darling, so come go with me!
I think God Only Knows would be a good song to include on the playlist for graduation.
I feel fat and blah today, and that's because I haven't worked out since...Tuesday. blah. Didn't go to Fu on Thursday, didn't go to the gym friday..etc etc. Tomorrow is Kung Fu, so I'll feel better. It's also the yearbook signing party. Must remember to bring my damn yearbook. lol. I haven't been bringing it to school. The time is escaping me. It's the last day of May! *shock*
Barbara Ann...take my hand...ba ba ba Barb Barbara Ann. Went to a dance, looking for romance, saw Barbara Ann, so I though I'd take a chance.
:D *happy sigh* so Im not sure what I'm doing today. Not much. Just hanging out. Finished my ECON! FINALLY!! WHOO!! ..I guess I was more excited that I thought, cause I wasn't planning on doing that in all caps. lol. whoo! Finis. except I need....to read the chapters, but who cares?! And I also need to type all the answers up. I think I can get a b on the test and be fine. hopefully. I think. lol.
Alright, I think I'm going to go do something. I'm not sure what, but I'll find something. Later, and happy memorial day! *hugs, peace, love*

time: 9:05 pm
mood: tiiiired
music: Politik, Coldplay
I am so tired. I got up the earliest I've gotten up in a while today...which was 8:09 am. Pathetic. really pathetic. Last semester, every single Monday and Wednesday I was getting up at 6:30 am. I guess it was because I had something to get up for...lol. (Acting!) So that's how I'll manage college. Plan the morning classes as something I like. hehe :roll:
I didn't even go to kung fu tonight. The excuse? Oh, I have school. I do have school, but it's not due for a couple of weeks. I just need to take the econ test before I graduate... ya know, that kind of thing. All that's left is for real...Economics. I'm gonna bullshit something for AP this month. We've been having parties and watching movies since the test. I'll write a poem. : )
I got a few new CD's on Tuesday, as well as Return of the King. (
So, on Tuesday, ...a lot of seniors showed up to help with the banner. And it looks absolutely awesome. I'm really proud of everyone. Honestly, it did shock me. I guess I really a bit too much on email...but yeah, wasn't expecting two of the people to be there. So it was a good surprise. We just added the names to the banner of the peeps who weren't there. hehe. :wink: they can deal.
It's all glittery and has paint on it and "Class of '04" and everyone's names. It's cool. It's also got some quotes (From me a random "Got (Kung) Fu?") and some math equations. I kid you not. They sparkle.
Wow, I am tired. I hope I'm not getting sick.
So we went to the eye doctor on Wednesday. Turns out I still have nearly perfect eyesight. Yay! The doc can't do anything about the trouble seeing at night. Boo! Oh well. I got some eyedrops for my dry eyes though.
/random
What else what else...whatched RotK. Gah. *love love*
Harry Potter and the greatest book yet movie comes out June 4th. Which is scarily scarily close. Way too close. Because 6 days after that? Graduation. But I'm excited. Whoo! 8)
Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I'm going back to the start.
So I think we've got a good amount of songs for the grad before/after ceremony thingie whatever. There are a couple of other ideas floating around too. So, as slow as it may be coming together, I think it's doing just that. : )
Am I part of a cure
or am I part of the disease?
So far we have:
Where the streets have no name
For those about to rock
Across the universe
Hello Goodbye
Whne I'm 64
Twist and Shout
Penny Lane
When I grow up to be a man
Slide
99 red balloons
The Great Beyond
1979
Tonight Tonight
Graduation Day
Highland Cathedral
Crazy
Clocks
Here's to the Night
Freebird
Wild World
Free Falling
And it's still open. So we'll see. :) Love you all, goodnight,

p.s. oh yeah...we (I lol) got Chris to sing the anthem! damn hell yeah.

here's to the tears you know you cried
time: 10:25 pm
mood: remeniscent
music: none...memories of prom music in my head
Yesterday, or, rather last night, at prom, I kept thinking "Damn. I wish these were my friends of four years...I wish these were my teachers chaperone-ing...I wish this was my school prom." It wasn't, and I had fun nonetheless, but still...the want was definitely there. Of course, we'd have to mix at least the senior and junior classes (HAH if not another entire small school) to make it worth anything. And it would need all of the people who left. I kept looking around, wanting to see Mitchell, and Eden, and Michael, and Dustin, and Camelia, and Michael, and Ryan, and Fatimah, and Tasha (even tho she's '05), and Jessica and Leo ('05 and '06)...see what I mean? My senior class is 12 people. So, yeah, we'd need some others. lol. It's something I wish I had..the "normal" school-ness of a bigger class...more friends...grad and prom with my people. I've got graduation..but..eh. Most people have left. I've got...4, really, whom I know well. Enough.
Makes me go "hmm." I'm really done with highschool though. So done. I want to be full-time Grossmont (GRIFFINS! WHOO!) yesterday. If I were going for an AA I'd be class of 2008. I'll be...if I'm lucky...class of 2010 at this rate...and if it takes 5, I'll be class of 2011. With a Bachelor's in Creative Writing, from University of California Riverside. Riversiiiiiide. Man, you have no idea how excited I am. Away from home, in a gorgeous campus, on my own... I'm excited in that kinda exhilerated / terrified way. lol. No. Actually, that's a lie.
I'm not terrified. I'm not more than an itsy bit nervous at this point. I'm sure the month before I leave I'll be freaking unbearable, but we'll see in 1-2 years. :roll: I'm so excited.
And, the possibility of Natasha coming to Grossmont next year is an awesome one. I miss her! My physics buds...gah, all but Eden have left. Mitch! Tasha! wah. lol. Mitchell I've known for...since about 2nd grade, I think. a LONG time. I miss him. :( I keep thinking "he's supposed to be graduating with me!" But, he isn't.
So, I'm just kinda hanging out. My week this week looks like: economics/gym/kung fu, repeat. I wanted to be all up on my econ, but then...eh shit happened, and prom stuff, and I lost a week. I just need to make myself work. It's not hard, its just taxing and time-taking for me. Blah! And I hate it, which makes it more so. But, I like my hair. Totally unrelated yes, but it is true.
Another totally unrelated observation. I know more people who are mean than honestly nice (really care about what they say how it will affect you, etc). Like, I know it's easier to just be a bitch/prick, but why? I try...try...to be nice and think about what I say before I do. And sometimes it doesn't work. But if I jsut meet someone, I'm not like "eh, hi." (From recent experience.) That annoys me. A lot. It takes so much to be nice? Guess so.
Completely unrelated but one senior responded. This shocked me. lol. One response! yay!
I think I got bit on my head.
If I didn't mention it before, Josh and I both passed our oral sash test. PHEW. I was nervous. 93 questions, no studying. Yay! Now we work on more techniques, then we work on next goal: YELLOW SASH!
My head hurts. It hurts. I hate that. Its on the right side, so I assume it is a sinus headache, as I think it'd be all over otherwise. hmm. *shrugs*
heh. Weird noises happening in my backyard. ..And now they've stopped.
So yeah, I'm reading four books or so right now. Thier Eyes Were Watching God, We Were Soldiers Once, and Young, Titus Andronicus, and Zoo Story (which is actually a play). Haaah.. I cannot do one thing at a time. I think it may be impossible. So, the reading, the watching tv thing, the not getting enough sleep thing, the kung fu thing, the working out thing, the running around town thing, the up until last night prom thing...all of these things have kept me from the economics thing. Which is biting me in the butt tomorrow. I want to go to the gym too, and I neeed to do about a chapter and a half tomorrow. REALLY SHOULD. lol.
bah.
My life feels like an in between. I'm just..waiting. :? Which..I hate. And it's up to me to change. Get my ass up and do my shit and then I'm on to the next thing. I get stuck, but its because I procrastinate, and so I get stuck and don't move on (its that whole "one thing at a time" problem I have.) I want to be moving moving moving and then I stop...get stuck behind something and until I MOVE it, it stays, I stay, it turns into an ugly masochistic kind of relationship.
BAH
baggle baggl baggle. SO tomorrow, I AM GOING TO DO ECON. YES. And go the gym. And maybe, maybe even do something fun.

till the sweat drip down my balls
time: 11:23 pm
mood: GREAT! My feet hurt!!!! :D
music: HIP HOP IN MY HEAD, with a side of salsa music
I just got back from prom! THis shall be quick. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! EEEEEEE I had SO much fun, and the music was awesome, and I LOOKED SO FREAKING HOT!! I felt like the hottest girl there. Or at least top ten. THAT is something coming from me. Man, hot hot guys there too. I danced with a couple. So, my parents just got home, and I'm talking to my bestest friend in the world for the first time in two weeks, and I am bubbly and jumping and bouncy and so excited, cause damn, I had SO MUCH FUN.
I wish there had been more dancing, (it got going pretty late), but i had fun, and they had REALLY GOOD dessert and fruit, an dthe whole thing was fabulous.
THANKS Bridget, I had a blast. WHEEEEEEeeeeee....
I'm gonna go!! AND tell everyone about it!! GOODNIGHT, HUGS,

time: 10:42
mood: aggravated
music: We Dont Need No, Education... in my head, over and over... Teacher leave those kids alone.
No, actually, please BEAT THEM OVER THE HEAD. I haven't gotten ONE response to the email I sent to the walking seniors about getting together Tuesday to put a banner together. I haven't even gotten an email from the person who thought UP the idea. The fuck? It's not like I'm getting anything out of this. I'm just the only one willing to do ANYTHING so I'm the emailer. I don't think they like me much. Or, maybe they just don't give a shit. But, that pisses me off. You only graduate once. You can't stop being a "I'm too good for that" senior for an hour and a half to help make a fucking banner and tell me what music you'd like to hear during your ceremony? Fuck you too. :x
I mean, come on. I don't have the phone numbers, cause otherwise I'd call them. But, not even a "I will/wont be there Tuesday" respond? What's that take, a whopping minute? Nice. Yeah. I don't know why I'm doing this. I really don't. I'm not getting anything out of it, really. Yeah, I want to make this a nice, unique-ish ceremony, cause it's MINE...ya know? Maybe not. No one in my class seems to. :x But I'm not talking, I'm not performing, etc. etc. I just want to make it more personal, but with no help, that's hard. I've gotten some ideas from one senior. ONE senior. We only have 9 walking, you think we'd be a closer class. But no. Cause it's split down the middle.
The people who think they are smart
and the People who think they are stupid, or are intimidated by the people who think they are smart.
That ^ means, our entire class is relatively smart. We've got like, 5 of us walking with academic distinction or something, but because some of the people are more outward about their brains or whatever, the others are like "ooh ,smart people, I don't want to talk to them..."
Me? I'm right in the middle. I'm not as smart as the first group, but I'm always having to tell the other group that i'm not some brilliant prodigy. I swear, it's that extreme. At least in my situation.
SO ANNOYING. GAAAH :evil:
*breathes*
So onto happier things. Tomorrow is prom. My day looks like: wake up, take a shower, get my hair cut, go pick up Bridget's corsage, come home, shit around, do my makeup, make my hair okay, get dressed, and leave by 5. Then it's dinner, then prom until like, 11 or 12 I can't remember, then home. It'll be a fun day.
I was SUPER lucky about the hair. I got my nails done Wednesday, both French tips and a pedicure (which still looks nice regardless of kung fu, yay), but hadn't decided what I wanted to do with my hair yet. So today, like the moron and optimist I am, I call up our usual guy and am like "got anything open tomorrow?" and he's like "no I'm completely booked" which, duh Kelly. But I had to try. So I go across the street to talk to our neighbor who works at a Great Clips. She says she isn't working tomorrow, but is willing to cut my hair in the morning anyway. ! *Hugs Neighbor*
I'm getting it totally chopped. Like, not ...super super short, but just below the ears. I don't want a bob, so I want a bit of a layer effect, as well as a feathering effect. I'm looking forward to it, and if it doesn't work out, oh well, I'll live, and hair grows. :)
So, yeah. I'm all agressioned out I think. Maybe. I should get to bed early so I can get up early, so I can not have HUGE ass bags under my eyes.
PERSONAL NOTE!:: SHIP ALLIE AND DAKOTA'S GIFTS ALREADY, DARNIT!
Okay, so goodnight all, and I hope all of you having prom tomorrow have a FABULOUS time and look wonderful too. Love,
-Kelly

| Hey Mr. DJ |
| 05.18.04 (9:08 pm) [edit] |
time: 9:48 pm
mood: I'm fine thanks!!!
music: NONE! only the voices in my head
Today was interesting. I didn't do much. Headed into school to talk about graduation, then ended up feeling like a bitch... :? ...then went to lunch with me mommy, then ran around town like a crazy person, got Bridget's corsage (yay! roses!), then came home, left nearly immediately for kung fu, went to kung fu, went to get coffee bean (mmm...green tea ice blended with soy milk!...mmm), then came home, and I still haven't showered. What is this? I do this all the time. Come home from kung fu, cool down...don't shower until late. I'm insane.
No one will ever guess what I was listening to on the way to get my brother for kung fu. No one! Except maybe a few people. But other than that, no one!!!
.
.
.
.
the suspense is quite unbearable, no?
.
.
.
The Backstreet Boys' first album! That's right. And I was totally unashamed. Hey, Mr. Dj, keep playing that song for me. Out on the floor or in my arms, she's gotta be.... Okay, no one ever claimed the lyrics were shakespeare, but the beats are GOOD and this is something I'd forgotten for years of "backstreet hate." The love has been refound. Now I'm thinking "where'd I put "Millenium??" (other backstreet album)
.
.
.
.
So, tomorrow I'm getting my nails done (if they can glue anything on to these stubs... :? ) with my cousins. I'm getting a manicure and a pedicure, which sucks about the latter, as my feet will be disgusting by Thursday evening (Kung Fu). But, that's life, that's what all the people say, dangit.
.
.
.
I think I may suffer from night blindness. It's really really difficult for me to drive at night. This is something that should be looked into. And, because I'm a freak (and darn proud) the idea of having glasses is cool. See? Freak. 8) But, moreso, the idea of not dying on the freeway at night is cool. So, to the eye doctor soon.
.
.
.
We have an "oral test" coming up in kung fu, on Friday. 93 questions, and we can get "1 or 2 wrong." This must be passed in order to move on to the next stage: preparing for the next sash (YELLOW BABY YELLOW! which, on a completely unrelated note, is, according to testcafe.com, my aura color.). So, I'm nervous. Some of the questions are easy (What are crane stances used for?) Some are hard (Who were Grand Master's teachers?) So, yeah, nerves.
.
.
.
I did "pretty good" on econ this month. My test averaged to 101.5 %. I guess i didn't need as many MC questions as I'd thought.
.
.
I can't quite figure out the time zone on this thing. Tblog is confusing!! *sob*
.
.
.
I'm looking forward to graduation, but more so, and this is far off, to UCR. UCR!!!! *giggles and jumps around like a monkey on speed* RIVERSIDE BABY!!! WHOOOOOOoooooooOoOOOOooo.
.
.
.
I amuse myself, and really, that's a good thing. What point is there in life if not to be completely happy with your dorkiness and love yourself for it?? :D
.
.
Goodnight, and *hugs*,
-Kells

| 05.17.04 (10:51 pm) [edit] |
I'm totally taking this..(without permission! eep) But I loved it and thought it was quite amusing and on base with my liking of Troy. (Also, no one really reads this! lol) So, this was found at the livejournal of scoutmol and if he/she would like me to take it down, I shall.
:::::
"I have always felt bad about how little I know about Ancient Greek literature. I know I read some of it in high school, and didn't hate it (because if I had, I would have had far more vivid memories of it – I loathed The Scarlet Letter and still can recall sections of it at will), but didn't love it either, and so it scooted out of my memory by the same route taken by most of Spanish IV.
This meant that when I walked into the movie theater this weekend, all I knew of the story was a vague recollection of the parties involved – Paris stealing Helen, the big wooden horse, and Achilles was there. And wow, was I glad! Because I just know that had I deeper understanding of the source text, the movie probably would have pissed me off. But I didn't! So I could just sit back happily and giggle at the over-the-top dialogue and sit up in my seat whenever Achilles decided to lounge about in a low-slung sarong.
Let's get the complaints out of the way first: the movie was too long, most definitely. And it sounds more insulting than I mean it to be when I say that Brad Pitt was fantastic until he started talking – but that's pretty true. I don't know if that's really his fault, though; the fact that the bulk of the actors around him spoke with English/Australian/non-Am erican accents made his Midwestern twang stand out, at least at first. But after a few minutes, I just accepted myself to the fact that Achilles was from Illinois, and let it go.
There was also the fact that the words he was asked to say were often so ridiculous that his out-of place accent didn't really matter. It seems like if there ever was a chance to take the subtle route, the screenwriters did everything in their power to avoid it. For example: Did you know that Achilles wanted his name to live on? And also, for his name not to be forgotten? And also, to be remembered? If you didn't know, the movie will tell you forty-five times!
But I can forgive all of these flaws. There's something lovable about a movie that knows what its audience wants and unashamedly gives it to them – I speak, of course, about Brad Pitt's nude scene, and Eric Bana's bare torso, and Orlando Bloom's pretty face. The girls too, of course, though I wasn't paying as much attention. Did the movie need that scene where Achilles stripped down after battle, strolled around nude in his tent, and splashed water on himself? I bet the movie would have gotten by okay without it, but I love a director (and a star! Because Brad requested it, which I learned from People magazine) who is willing to recognize what the audience is looking for in that moment, and just hand it over without asking them to be embarrassed.
(I really wish someone could do an Amelie-esque reverse camera shot of that moment in the movie, to capture the sight of every woman in the audience inching up in her seat to see better.)
At the same time, though, I loved the movie for how it subverted audience expectations in another way: that is, by telling a story with its most sympathetic characters on the side that loses. This is un-Hollywood to the extreme, and I was really quite surprised. Watching the movie, I can't believe that the creators expected the audience to identify with anyone more than we identify with Hector and his father and their doomed city. I mean, come on! Even Achilles hates the Greek army! They're the bad guys, and they win in the end. And though Achilles has a certain magnetism and tragedy about him, he's still, in the end, not the true hero of the story. Hector is. Hector is the one who lives his life with the most grace and dignity, who has the most sensible things to say, who has a family that loves him. And he dies at the hands of the movie's big star. Now that's entertainment!
I know that the credit can't completely go to the filmmakers since they're obviously operating from a pretty classic story, but anyone can tell you how thoroughly and unashamedly movies can remove the true meaning and heart of a classic story (and who knows, maybe they have done just that and I'm not aware of it because again, know next to nothing about the original story) in the quest to give the movie a typical Hollywood ending. Again, we return to The Scarlet Letter, Demi Moore's version -- perhaps the most useful horrible movie of all time, since it is such a handy reference point for people talking about horrendous film adaptations of books. Thank you, Demi!
I've read some places that the events of the movie and actions of the characters reflect modern day American attitudes more than Ancient Greek ones (for example, the recasting of Patrocles as Achilles's cousin instead of his lover [which, from what I've read here and there, is a more accurate description], and the removal of the gods from the story). To that I say: Of course it does! Movies always say more about the times they're created than the times they depict. My go-to example is always the movie Glory, which is nominally about the all-black regiment in the Civil War but features as its male lead the regiment's white leader, played by Matthew Broderick. Does the movie tell you more about the Civil War or late-1980s race relations in America? Both?
I do find that aspect of Glory problematic, and I bet a lot of people find the intrusion of 21st century American ideals onto The Iliad problematic as well, but the clincher for me with both Glory and Troy is the fact that for me, at the end of the day, the story worked. I cried at the end of both movies – a completely unexpected event when it came to Troy, which I'd giggled over through most of the movie, whispering to my friend about how silly certain lines were, only to be completely blindsided by the ending. All of a sudden, after laughing at the stupid dialogue and Orlando's earnest expression (I actually think he was pretty good in this) -- all of a sudden, I cared what happened in the movie. I think it happened after Hector died, after that great scene between Peter O'Toole and Brad Pitt -- from that point on, the movie had me. Achilles made me cry! Briseis made me cry! The fall of Troy made me cry, a little bit!
Oh, why did I write all this? All it really comes down to is the fact that I bought it. A lot of people didn't, a lot of people won't, and no amount of long-ass paragraphs on my part will make the fact that I cried at a movie most people found ridiculous less pathetic. Oh well!"
:D
Also, I think I'm getting sick, and I really don't want to go to school tomorrow. Anyway. Also, I'm trying a self-ban on cursing! So far, in the last 48 hours or so, I've said : shit once, crap a lot of times (too many to count)...and that's it. As you can see, it doesn't count when I TYPE it. lol. goodnight everyone, sleep tight.

| 05.15.04 (11:57 pm) [edit] |
time: 11:32 pm
mood: sleepy and full
sounds: Soundtrack music in my head. I'm singing Anatevka
So let me tell this blog about my adventures in the last 36-48 hours. Yesterday, started bad. First, I had to fill my tank, and when the gas had stopped (lever clicked down and all), the pump did something VERY odd. It kept putting gas out. So I'm standing there, everything has stopped (Price and Gallon meters, and the lever is down) and I'm like "well shit, my tank is small, I'm gonna have some difficulties here if the thing overflows." So I knock on the car to get my brother out, and I'm ready to have him go and get the attendant, and I hear the damn thing finally shut off. That should have been the key that tipped me off the the rest of the majority of the day.
I drove around Spring Valley for an hour looking for Bridget's house. Maps, are worthless. I got myself so lost, without really getting lost. I knew at all times where the freeway was, and as long as I'm near a freeway, I can get home. However, heh. I was all over from about 11:30 to about 12:45. I went from clairemont, to spring valley, to fucking BONITA, back through spring valley, to National City (where the street I was on turned into fucking 30th street.) At this point, at about 12:15 or so, and driving up and down through Spring Valley, and Bonita, and Jamacha Blvd., and pulling over many times to look at the fucking map, I pull over in front of a Blockbuster in NATIONAL CITY, call my mom, and I'm just breaking down, sitting in my car, on the phone, in front of a blockbuster. So, we decide, I'm just gonna go home and we (my mom and I) will meet up and we'll try again. So I call Bridget (the reason I was trying to get there: had to give her the signed form for prom, which was due yesterday) and I'm like "cant come till 2" and she's like "I have to go to work at 1:30" so, now my plans have changed. I get on the 8 (West, and then have to take off Mission Center). So, now I'm parked in Mission Valley, in front of target, crying, because I'm tired, Ive been up and down the 805 4 times already, and now I have to go back. So I get back on the 805, find my way to Bridget's with her correct directions, and finally found her house. Then, I drove home and sat on the couch and just did nothing. That, was the worst time I've ever had in a car, ever.
So, then, I take a short tiny nap, and we decide we're gonna go see Troy with my cousins and aunt and uncle downtown. My parents aren't going, just my bro and I, so it's like "okay, they'll drop us off." lol. I begged for them not to make me drive. hehe. So we get downtown, and we go to Buca di Beppo which is AMAZING (even though at 2 am...not so much), and our waiter was really cute (and either flaming gay or a surfer. you can't tell sometimes). Then we go and see Troy. I didn't have high hopes for this movie, but it was really, really good. And not just for the nearly naked men (though they were quite nice). The characters were brilliantly written and quite skillfully acted, and I had fun. It may not have been "accurate" but it didn't claim it was (Inspired by the Illiad, not based on. hehe). So that was really fun, until josh through his sweatshirt at my eye, totally scratching it (it still hurt this afternoon). But whatever, brothers are really stupid sometimes. SO that was my day yesterday.
My day today. Got up at about 7, then ran around the house looking for my long lens for my camera (which is still not found), took my bowl of cereal and protein drink in the car with me (so, that was fun. milk sloshing around). Forced myself to eat all my cereal and drink my drink, then we show up (luckily, early) to the Kung Fu Tournament. We were able to see the Lion Dance (CLAIREMONT INSTRUCTORS ARE THE BEST!) and we sat over above the Clairemont sign and watched the whole thing get set up.
We got to the tournie at 8:40 or so, and Josh and I finally got called (White Sashes, Techniques and Form, ages 15 to 19) at around 12:15 or so. That's a lot of waiting around feeling nervous, lol. I didn't suck, but I didn't do as well as I'd hope. and hey, I'm alive! and I didn't fall on my face, which I'd made my goal. So go me. Josh got gold in techniques. Whoo! We stayed till about 4. so, that makes a total of: 7.5 hours at usd today. Then, we drove home, I took a nap, got up, took a shower, went to get dinner and three movies (In America, which we watched tonight (SO GOOD), Stuck on You, and The Last Samurai). Now, I'm chilling after In America and thinking of the rest of my weekend, which will, as far as I know, consist of schoolwork and yardwork. Yay. anycrap.
Love ya all, have good weekends, peace, hugs,
-Kelly

time: 10:12 pm
mood: tired
music: BEACH BOYS!
Got back from Kung Fu. Last one before Tournament. *wiggles eyebrows, rubs hands together* I'm nervous, but...in a small way, I'm also excited. I hope I don't freeze, but even if I do, it's okay. I'm happy to be there for C. and root on my school! Yeah! :D
oh holy crap. We have a bug zapping light in our backyard, and...I think the Floridian bugs have migrated. Wow :shock:.
So, I've been sitting here for a good half hour thinking about AP and DVD recommendations (since Ros and Guil, the movie, aint my cup of tea) so time has flown away, and I'm still stinking and cold from Kung Fu and my bladder is full, :lol: , which is totally what you need to know, and I'm gonna read some Harry Potter.
So, goodnight, and hugs and kisses,

time: 11:29 pm
mood: bipolar lol
music: news on tv, between lots of channels
Today I got my PROM DRESS!! Yes, my PROM DRESS. Didn't hear me? PROM DRESS!! :lol: *giddy hopping*
First of all, thank you Bridget for letting me go with you. I'm going to prom!! Even though it isn't "my" prom, I feel like it's My Prom. Cause it'll be my only, and even though it isn't at my school, I'm still going! And I've got a GORGEOUS dress (red, so beautiful) that I look great in, and the perfect height shoes that work for dancing, and I'm gonna get my nails done (feet and hands! lol) and ...do who knows what the fuck with my hair and makeup, but who cares! I'll wing that. I can handle makeup okay (as long as I don't screw up my eyes) but the hair? *glares at hair*
But anyway, back to the point: *kelly bounces* I'm SO freaking excited, as I'd kinda resigned myself to the "not going to prom, going to pretend to be "above" and not care" phase. But, now I'm going! eeeee :lol: And, ya know, I think its destined to be, really. lol. I got my dress, it fits, and the black shoes I have to go with it, that I had for the last party (Nicole's 16th) that are easy to dance in, make it the PERFECT height off the floor. It's the perfect length, for real.
On a bad note, *shakes head* stupid people are stupid, especially when they sue someone who knows what they're talking about, when they (first person) don't know shit. :x
So, tomorrow is AP. I've got to think of someone that has affected my life in a largely positive way, so I may write a Thank You note. I think I'm going to be incredibly cliche, if you know what I'm sayin' :wink: My econ test is done, though the work is not. I've got a good chunk of it out of the way, and today did a bit of one of the other two chapters, so that was good.
Today I also started reading [u]the five people you meet in heaven[/u] by the author-who-wrote-[u]tuesd ays-with-morrie[/u]. It's really pretty interesting so far. I love how its organized.
I majorly want to go to another Padres game. This is crazy, as for years I had Padre (players, not Padres i.e. Missions :lol: *kelly's a dork!*) hate. But now, with the new park, and the smell of...well, beer, but also...okay so it doesn't smell like anything really, but if you buy a hot dog or cotton candy THEN it does....anyway. It's just so summery and team-y, and I had a blast last time. *cheers on the Padres*
It's late, and I *think* I have to get up early tomorrow, and even if I don't have to, I should. I've still got econ to do. Burglely boo. And, then kung fu. Last kung fu before....TOURNAMENT! On Saturday, all day. wish me luck everyone :wink:
So, Goodnight, sweet dreams, love, peace, hugs, kisses,

| Also, my tongue is scorched... |
| 05.11.04 (10:03 pm) [edit] |
time: 9:51 pm
mood: my tongue is scorched
music: something scary on tv
This is my away message right now, and it kind of explains my mood at the moment. :D
"gah, Harry's a litte b@$#& isn't he now? I mean, Ron's all scared and just wants to get OUT of the demonic hollow with all the spiders (AND who can blame him?!) and Harry's like "shhsh!! SHHHSH!!" and Ron's all scared, but it doesn't matter, cause Harry has to be all brave and crap, and really, somebody should pay more attention to their friends. If MY friend was like "hello, spiders, I'm terrified, lets LEAVE!" I wouldn't be like "SHHHSH" even if I WAS talking to the Main Spider to get information about the Chamber of Secrets. I mean, really.
Also, my tongue is scorched."
So, there you go. I just got back from kung fu, and I'm sitting here with almost my entire uniform on (everything but the sash!) with my "'04" hat on. Man, whatever this is (me: what is this mom?) (its apparently "Sightings: Heartland Ghost." It's kinda scary) freaky. Its got that guy from Crossing Jordan. I'm so descriptive!
So, yeah, I torched my tongue on my English Breakfast Tea Latte from Coffee Bean. I hope there's a Coffee Bean in Riverside. We have a kung fu place from our area there, so that's cool. And my mom and I have been talking about the two different places I could live. On campus, obviously more expensive especially since I want to live alone, but has lots and lots of amenities, including security which is a HUGE selling point for my parents. Then, there's a studio apartment off campus thats much less expensive, living alone, but doesn't have all the amenities, but I could have a small dog. Which, is a selling point for me, :roll: but much less than the security, the meeting hall, the special area to wash your car, the laundry area, the pool, etc etc. So, even though its going to be thousands a school year, I'm only going for two, and my parents are very up on the security, so I'm hoping that it will work out. They're called Stonehaven. :D I'm so excited for college, and ten times more excited for Riverside. EEEEEEE.
And, I'm also excited for two things in the immediate future. PROM! With Bridget! (22nd YEAH and my mom says I can get a dress (as opposed to borrowing, but thanks anyway Bridge! :D ) at Mt. Miguel (I think? Why are names so hard for me to remember.) But it's going to be fun and we're going to buy each other corsages, :lol:
Wow, this movie keeps getting weirder and weirder.
So anyway, the other thing is GRADUATION! I am going to have so much fun. My plan is to exercise five times a week (so far this week, one, but hey, I'm all "exercising" a little on saturday, so I missed Monday, oh well...) so that I can lose a few more pounds OR harden up my flabby zones so that I can get into a cute dress (who knows what yet) for my graduation, AND then my parents are throwing me a graduation party with, like, everyone I've ever met O_o. lol I'm very excited.
On Saturday its the Kung Fu tournie. I'm nervous, but not as nervous as I thought I'd be. I have no thinking that I'll place or get any award or anything. At this point I just want it to be over, haha. But anyway, that's Saturday and then *shrugs.* Then the Saturday after is PROM! And also the Kung Fu picnic, which I may attend for a little bit (seeing the instructors all dressed down, as well as everyone else, just hanging out at the beach? that's cool!)
So, yeah. I'm excited about LIFE right now! And totally freaked out by this movie :shock: The lady ghost just, um, ...serviced herself on the live guy. :shock: Freaky.
So, here's a fun thing I've done before but wanted to do again. The one's in bold are the ones that apply to me.

| 05.10.04 (10:45 pm) [edit] |
time: 10:27 pm
mood: tired
music: Shanghai Noon on tv
*yawns* I'm so tired. Just got back from seeing Mean Girls, which was really pretty funny and good. Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert are really pretty, and the two blondes are really not. And the guy? The token hot guy the under-advantaged girl goes for? Yeah, he was HOT. :D So had fun driving up to Mira Mesa (WE GOT IN FREE! THANKS TAI!) and seeing that with Fatimah. Maybe a job in a theater isn't a bad idea...free movies, popcorn, icees? Sounds good to me.
So, tomorrow is the economics test and then kung fu. ooh yay *twirls flag* I'm so excited. At this point, i could CARE less about the economics, so if I get a B (bunch of extra credit, shouldn't be hard) I'm not worried. Right now I'm like "fuck if I care if I fail," but that's because I'm having a BLAH moment and I'm not sure why. :?
But anyway, I guess this blogging is rather pointless, but what's the point of a blogging if you can't sometimes post rather pointless things.
I can't wait for graduation. This summer is going to rock.
Hugs, Peace,
-Kelly

| 05.09.04 (7:09 pm) [edit] |
time: 7:09 pm
mood: cool
music: John Mayer
Happy Mother's Day! And just a quick Love You Mom! We took my mom to brunch at Terra this morning. It was really nice kinda 4 piece meal. "Breakfast pastries," fruit soup, then I had chilled (as in COLD!) halibut with cucumber "relish," followed by a lemon tart and a strawberry shortcut (both mini and perfect sized). It was really yummy. Then we went to visit my grandma, and then came home and I...napped! Then we went to go see Van Helsing, which was pretty fun. Kate Beckinsale is really pretty, and regardless of a ...smokey plot, haha, the actors were all really talented. We just got home about 15 ago, and I decided to post, cause I had wanted to post a thing from a book. But anyway, I'll get to that in a second.
Wow, Ebert and Roeper are SO annoying. A couple of old, bitter guys "fairly" critiquing teen movies? Ha. Ha. They need to get jobs. :D Also, do we [i]care[/i] what Roeper's favorite movie is?
I think I may have convinced my brother to go see New York Minute with me. How did I do that? Told him I'd take him with me (and possibly Fatimah?) to go see Mean Girls (guy's got a crush on Lindsay Lohan, but thinks the Olsens aren't cute? go figure). I also did tempt him with "twins in towels." :roll: boys. But I do want to see both Mean Girls and NYMinute, so I'm glad he finally agreed to go with me (as I've got nobody else! *sob* lol) (Fatimah you still wanna see Mean Girls? Do you read this? Why do spiders have so many eyes?). I also want to see Raising Helen and In America (the second is on film now, out to rent/buy). Oh, and when it comes out, The Day After Tomorrow (Jake Gyllenhaal! May 28th) and The Village (*SCREAMS* M. Night Shyamalan, but it has Joaquin Phoenix. I'll need to take a pillow so I can scream into it and hide behind it. July 30th.) (BUTTERFLY EFFECT JULY 6TH! whoop whoop) enough movie blabber...
So anyway, I'm gonna put up the paragraph I'd wanted to post to put up in the first place. This is the single most moving paragraph I've ever read, and it's from [u]We Were Soliders Once...and Young[/u], written by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore (Ret.) and Joseph L. Galloway.
[i]We were the children of the 1950s and John F. Kennedy's young stalwarts of the early 1960s. He told the world that Americans would "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship" in the defense of freedom. We were the down payment on that costly contract, but the man who signed it was not there when we fulfilled his promise. John F. Kennedy waited for us on a hill in Arlington National Cemetery, and in time we came by the thousands to fill those slopes with our white marble markers and to ask on the murmur of the wind if that was tuly the future he had envisioned for us.[/i]
So, yeah. Just take a minute, if you read that, to be thankful for this time and this place and who and what you have. The world may not be incredibly different, but it is what we make it. Love and hugs to all, happy mom's day,
-Kelly

music: something about egypt on channel 104 on cox.
So. *SIIIIIGH* Today was the day after the day to end all days. I should be a writer. Because really. I exaggerate SO much, I'm sure it's annoying and redundant and my family and friends don't want to hear about it or read it. So why not get paid to do it? :D *wiggles eyebrows*
* Yesterday, was the AP test. I know I did better on the Multiple Choice (that I can't talk about until I die..*snigger*) than I had expected...and not as well at all on the essays. Bah. If the one's I feel great about turn out to be 7's? I'm afraid of these. I'm hoping that MC was a lot higher than I'd expected.
* For some random strange reason I want to watch Fight Club. (random strange = Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.)
* Yesterday was also my friends' grandpa's memorial. :( *sigh* :(
* I'm all out. Heh. I was planning on making this big ol' entry, and now I don't even remember what I was planning on talking about.
* Except, maybe I'm just a little obsessed with the Beach Boys and working out right now. Luckily, these are not horrible things to be "obsessed" with. And, honestly, working out 3-4 times a week isn't obsessed, but possibly listening only to one CD is. I never liked the Beach Boys before. Really, go figure.
* Ooh, K-19 the widowmaker is on. That was a sad movie.
* A great movie is Love Actually. Colin Firth, learning Portugeuse and Aurelia learning English? *heart flutters.* Hugh Grant dancing down the stairs? *heart flutters* Mr. Best Friend of Married Guy in love with Kierra Knightley saying "Enough now, enough" ? ??? *Dies* I love this movie.
* But yeah, wanting to go out. Surfing, bowling, movie, someone, anyone, anything! lol. my stress is hopefully over now.
* Still want to watch Fight Club. mmm....Edward Norton...Brad Pitt.
* The Friends finale! Oh, I'm so glad they're finally together, because really. And, is Emma just nonexistant? lol. And they have twins!! And Courtney Cox Arquette is so very pregnant and that is so very wonderful! :D
* Troy is coming out soon. Talk about your eye candy. Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom...all dirty, fighting, yelling...? Yum, thankya, and goodnight.
* And I'll leave it there. Thankya, and goodnight.

thing from LJ. first 20 songs on my playlist, my favorite lyric from the song, and you all guess. Here's a hint: they're all from one cd, by one artist/band.
1) I dig a french bikini on Hawiian Island dolls, by a palm tree in the sand.
2) We always take my car cause it's never been beat
3) We're loading up our Woody
4) If every body had an ocean across the USA
5) 'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
6) Do you love me, do you?
7) 'Cause if it had a set of wings, man, I know she could fly.
8 ) My fuel injected Stingray and a four-thirteen
9) She was gonna be my wife and I was gonna be her man
10) I got a letterman's sweater with a letter in front
11) Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn’t done what I did?
12) There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
13) So what good would living do me
14) This is the worst trip I've ever been on
15) I wish that every kiss was never ending...
16) When you cried all night cause we'd gone too far
17) I love love you darling
18 ) You've got me rockin' and a-rolling, rockin' and a-reeling
19) Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go
20) And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
So that's done. The one who guesses the most wins something! :lol: I don't know what...
So today this is what I did: woke up at about 8:30. Took a shower, got freaked out about being alone in the house with no one but the dog, played with the dog abit, ran around the house getting ready to drive to the dealorship so Neo could get serviced, then got picked up by my mom, went to school with her, avoided "hugging boy," whoo go me, got mad at my brother and called him a jackass, went to Original Pancake House and had Canadian bacon and scrambled egg whites, went to Target and got my puppy one of those water despensers that holds more and shoots water out when it starts to empty (its freaking hot here!), a shirt (Baby Blue that says "I *heart* Bazooka" with the gum and stuff. its cute) and a certain cd...(30 songs for $14? my kinda cd..)...
went to get my car, it was SO happy, no more pulling me to the right! yay, filled it up (yeah, exxon is down to 2.09. whoo), went home, and melted. my GOSH it was hot today.
Then, what did I do at home: shat around on the computer, downloaded more clips (downloaded about 30 million yesterday...exaggeration), started watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with my mom while doing a MC. I don't think I'm gonna get any better. *Shakes head* Then took a nap and when I got up felt REALLY bad (dizzy, etc.). Ate dinner, felt better, woke up some, will now be up until 4 am or so. I also played around with my brother in the kitchen. He hit me twice with a piece of celery. It hurt. I threw a paper towel at him, two feet away, and missed. I was laughed at. Ahh, the funness of my home :lol:
So, now I'm sitting here, singing the songs above, hoping people will guess! lol, and typing up The Great Gatsby quotes. I have nine that are favorites:
1) The bar is in full swing and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside until the air is alive with chatter and laughter and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other’s names.
2) Dishonesty in a woman is a thing you never blame deeply – I was casually sorry, and then I forgot.

later, dudes,

P.S. *Hugs nicole and marie*
