The last few days...

2006-05-30T20:50:12Z

ohh boyyyy.
i'm at work, so this entry will be text only

sooo...last Thursday was Prom. It was fun. Wanda did my hair superbly, haha, and my fake tan looked real enough. The limo was nice and super roomy. Terrace on the Park is such a pretty place. And overall, the Prom was good, although the DJ SUCKEDDDDDDDD. Basically, worst DJ EVERRR. >_<
After Prom, the four of us went to Merchant's Restaurant in the city. A swanky little bar / lounge. It was fun and the food was pretty good, the coffee was better.
Then we drove back and GTang and Jon left and Bryan slept at my house. We started watching Jersey Girl, but talked through the whole beginning and then fell asleep.

When we woke up the next morning, we decided after a way long time to go out to breakfast. We were planning on being there by 11:30ish...2 hours later we got there. We both ate sure good, super fattening stuffed french toast, but I no longer need to fit into a prom dress, so Amen to that. After that, I went home, to the library and then back home where I fell asleep. Bryan called me and woke me, and then Kate called so we all ended up going to Bryan's house, with Kevin and Brittany, and wathcing Hide and Seek. Decent movie?

The next day was Six Flags day. OH BOY. Woke up early and got all ready. Met Victoria and crew in the bagel store / Family Dollar parking lot. haha. Bryan and I were in one car, following the other 5. Upon arriving there, the first thing we went on was Kingda Ka. heart attack. No really, major cardiac problems. haha, but the good fun kind. 'Twas intense. Bryan and I split up with them for a while and went on other rides and I, of course, had a heart attack before each one. We met back up with them at Nitro, then went on the water rapids. Bad idea. hahaha. SOAKED. I had to buy new clothes to go home in. Had funnel cake while watching the fireworks and went home. I passed out on the ride home.

Sunday: Attempted to go to the airshow with Kate, BUT it was absurdly crowded and although we paid for parking...there was none. We tried to watch from the side of the road with the 5,000 other people, but it wasn't a good spot. So we left, had italian ices, and went home. Church and Life Night later...uneventful. Then Bryan and I went to the movies to see DaVinci Code, not AS BAD as reported, but too long. Then went home and went to sleep

Where I was rudely woken up by boss from work asking me to cover for MY SISTER whos in Florida when I specifically said I couldn't work Monday morning. He insisted I said I could and next thing I knew I was working. IT WAS MISERABLE. I was gorgeous out and I worked 10-9. AHHHHHH.

Now, I'm working again, hoping I'm not covering for Nicole tomorrow. ::cringe::. Today was the Senior Breakfast, it was beyond lame. And less than a half hour long. mm yeah. The yearbook is very poorly laid out, except for a few pages, like the ones I did! haha. I'm serious. Work is going SLOW and everyone here is driving me bonkers. haha. And some angry guy called about something and I said I'd see if someone was available and he got so mad. He was like "I NEED TO SPEAK TO HIM. Your guys are at my house and not doing anything I was promised! This is a waste of my g**d**n time, I NEED TO SPEAK TO HIM NOW!" I was like "OK, i need to check is hes HERE." sheesh. PEOPLEEEE.
And I also have my english paper - part 3 - to do. miserable.

Tomorrow is Senior "cut day" and I realllllllllly hope they don't expect me to work tomorrow. >_<
Thats all for now. Pictures to come, maybe

"I've never let my school interfere with my education"
-Mark Twain

A series of lasts...

2006-05-15T21:20:32Z

AP tests are officially over and I am thrilled.
Two weeks ago, I took Calc and English. Both were ehh, but I think I did ok enough.
Last week, APES and Gov, same thing.
Overall, I'm confident about the tests this year. I guess we'll wait until June to find out.

That being said, last week after the test was relatively uneventful.

I, surprisingly, went to school on Thursday, worked and then had the Kiwanis dinner at night. My parents and I sat with Victoria and her parents. It was fun and involved a lot of giggling.

Friday I didn't go to school and I slept late which was wonderful. I went out with Kate at like 1:30 and laughed a lot. Then worked..at the flowershop, which is over now that Mother's Day has passed. For the past 2 weeks, I've been working 7 days a week, busy but the monetary rewards have deemed it a good thing.

So Friday, I worked until 12 and then went home to discover I had won the Citibank Scholarship. Kudos to me. Then i was excited and was up until 3...only to get up at 8 the next morning and work again, until 7:30ish.
It was pretty miserable and exhausting. At night, Bryan and I went to Milk and Sugar Cafe, a swanky little place in the poshiness that is Bayshore Village. hmph.
It was good, coffee was fantastic and probably very addiciting. Good thing its far away.

Yesterday was Nicole's graduation which basically, was endless. Thank God I am going to a SMALL college. After that, Life Teen and thats it.

This morning I didn't wake up and ended up going to school 4th period. Oh well, I missed nothing.
I'm working right now and its boring.

This Friday is the retreat. I'm excited, its been a while. I guess this is officially my last Life Teen retreat. hmm.
Anyway, it should be good, interesting if nothing else.

Sunday, after the retreat, is my dance recital. Again...my last one. I'm not like super devastated about it and I'm pretty sure I won't be shedding any tears. I'm just excited for them to announce to everyone that I'm going to Fordham. hahah, my bragging rights. =P

Next week, already, is prom. I, personally, am excited. I enojoy the whole get dressed up and act all fancy and chic for no reason thing. After the prom, we still don't know what we are doing or where we are going. The Saturday following the prom, we plan on Six Flags. If anyone would like to join, inquire here.

The last day of school is rapidly approaching and although these past four years have been nothing close to terrible, I am very ready to move on. Bigger and better things are close by and I cannot wait for High School drama to be a thing of the past.

I probably won't be on-line much because my computer blew up. I'm quite serious. I was on it, the screen got liney, the picture began to shrink and then totally disappear. When I looked up, black smoke was coming from the monitor and smelling up my room. ohh boy.
I'm in the process of getting a new one.

Anyway, an update will occur within the next week and a half and pictures will be involved. ta ta for now

This past week has been relatively uneventful, but fine all together

Last Sunday: nothing really during the day, church at night. Stopped at Lindenhurst Funeral Home to make an appearance at a wake, then out to Red Lobster with Bryan and his parents which was chill. haha.
Monday: school and then work. nothing else!
Tueday: the same as Monday
Wednesday: School...and then nothing until dance at night. The whole doing nothing thing was rad.
Thursday: School all day. Nothing eventful. Later on I had an interview with the Kiwanis Club for being a finalist for their scholarship
Friday: School during the day. Then Bryan found me when I was walking home. :o)
We went to the Post Office, had a hott date at Stuff a Bagel and then went to Babylon ritzy village and he got a tux. He's cute and he'll look spiffy. Anyway, then we went back to my house until like 7:30ish and we went to the play. "The Crucible" was really good, relatively scary at points, but I enjoyed it. I'm also glad I've read it before otherwise I would've been very confused. But it was good, so kudos to anyone who was in it.
Saturday: worked at the flowership from 9-5.
At night, Bryan and I went to the movies and saw "American Dreamz". It was good, stupid ending though. Then we went to Applebees right near the movie theater and we had a really sucky waitress. oh well
Sunday; Today: I'm working from 11-5. Then Church at night and Life Night after I assume

In other news:
+ That interview paid off; I got the Scholarship. HOTTTT
+ I now have a Fordham e-mail address and as a result, a Facebook account. haha
+ The Retreat is coming up soon. HINT JENN HINT. and anyone else.
+ AP tests are basically here. Two this week and two the following week, and then a party thrown by me because I will be done with everything. :o) AP Calc is Tuesday and AP English is Wednesday, VOMIT.
Next week, Gov on Wednesday and APES on Thursday

ok, thats all. comment and make me smile.

"Joy and sorrow are constant companions. When one sits at your board, the other is asleep on your bed."

Well, life can be pretty crazy sometimes.
I hate it when bad things happen, espcially things we cannot understand. If I keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason, maybe I'll believe it one day. Anyway, prayers are good. thanks.

Now on to more happy things.
COLLEGE DECISIONS!
Mine is made! :o)
I have accepted me awards and sent my deposit to Fordham!!!

I am super excited and next year should be really good. I am looking forward to college much more than ever before actually. Especially because high school is ridiculous. And in case you were wondering, I am going to live there. So its like hardcore Manhattan and I'm excited.
Also, Gabbie is going to NYU, so I'll have a friend on the same island as me. Bryan, of course, is in SJU, so hes not far from me either.

So tying together this entry, everything works out in the end.

Now
Recap:

School is winding down and I am very happy about that. The Prom will be soonish and within 2.5 weeks, AP tests will be completely OVER and I will be really excited about that.

Last Saturday, I went to admitted students' day at Fordham, but before that was the Dean's Breakfast and it was realllly fancy and quite exclusive, if I do say so myself.
It was much harder to get into FCLC this year, much less get a scholarship, which by the way, they upped mine. :o)
Anyway, I love the dean. Hes a realllly jolly priest and the president of the school is also a priest. My kind of school, eh?
Everything during the day was fun and went well. I met lots of people, from NY, LI, Nevada, Pennsylvania, NJ, anddd CALIFORNIA. werd.
Anyway, everyone who goes there is so nice and its so small and I love it <3

I met some crazy rich girls from LI, who cracked me up more than they know. It was mega entertaining.
Anyway, Fordham is def my kind of school with my kind of people and everything. I'm really excited about going there next year.

Thats all for now.
<3

College drama, spring break, Easter and the like.

2006-04-10T21:38:49Z

So, its Spring Break. I am happy about that.

I'm at work right now, its really busy. If this is any indicator on the rest of the week...ew. Apparently when kids are out of school, its furniture buying time? Lame.
I have work until 9 today. Blah, then from 10-6 tomorrow and then I am going rock climbing...again. haha.
And Thursday, I'm working from 10-2. Extra hours because someone is on vacation.

Wednesday, Gabbie and I are going to the city. Bryan is meeting us there and we are all driving home together, saves $7.60 :o) We are shopping, visiting Fordham (again...read more about that later) and looking for something to do after Prom.

This weekend was relatively uneventful. Friday after school, Bryan took me to the mall and to the South Bay shopping center looking for clothes for Palm Sunday...no luck. Friday night was the Soup Supper. A pan decided it would be really cool to fall off the sterno and spill down my leg. ow. Afterwards, we just went to my house. Odds are I fell asleep.
Saturday, last day of religion class and worked at the flowershop, before and after religion. We were going to go to Catholic Underground at night, but due to rain and tiredness, we didn't. I kind of wish we did, but too late now. So at night, we went to Sunrise mall and I was able to buy clothes for Sunday. Afterwards, we went to my house.
Sunday, worked at the flowershop again. Later on, I went to church early, to practice reading. I was the narrator in The Passion. I was proud of myself, I didn't mess up. :o) Life Night after that and then Applebees with Bryan, Nicole, Brittany, Amy and Patrick. Funny funny.
Patrick: I went to John Jay before that
Bryan: What did you go there for?
Patrick: Hott girls.
hahahah. Completely random, completely unexpected and completely hilarious.
I got home around midnight and I think I passed out and slept forever.

Prom is annoying, I bought the bid, so I'm going. We still need a limo. We have gotten such a range of prices its insane. We got a mega cheap price for a 10 person limo, which is HUGE for 4 people, but I think its worth it.
We need to go there though to check it out because who knows.

I really think it should be May 13th. AP tests will be over, college decisions will be made and school will be almost over. I'm ready for that time. :o)

OK...now the popular topic of the month. College.
Where did I apply? CUNY Hunter, Fordham, St Johns, CW Post
Where do I want to go? FORDHAM!
Where will be cheapest? Hunter
Where will I enjoy most? Fordham
Where will "my future be brightest? Fordham
Best education? Fordham
Where am I definitely NOT going? ST Johns
Where is most expensive? Fordham

Pros of each school:
St Johns:
NONE! haha.
Basically none, Bryan goes there and they gave me some half scholarship garbage. I'm really not even considering it

CW Post:
-Got into Honors Program
-$17,000 scholarship
-close by
-Pretty campus

Hunter:
-Full scholarship + room and board
-Single room
Manhattan

Fordham:
-Good scholarship from them
-Good school
-Catholic
-Manhattan
-Close to home
-Good "connections"
-Where I want to go!

Cons of each school:
St. Johns:
Lame, haha, no desire to go there

CW Post:
-Have to drive, ahh
-Not great school
-Still have to pay, haha
- Would need a car
-No "connections"
-Not Catholic

Hunter:
-Lame school
-No grass/campus
-No honors program...ie: in classes with people who got like 900s on the SATs. UGH

Fordham:
-EXPENSIVE, even with scholarship
-Especially expensive with room and board.
-No other complaints from me :o)

So thats my life, theres a possibility I can squeeze more money out of Fordham, but I won't know that until after Easter and I need to come to some sort of a conclusion before then.
Oh well, keep your fingers crossed for me.
St Jude: Tha patron saint of hopeless causes might be able to help me out with this one.

We'll see, I'll update more sometime soon.

2006-03-20T20:12:23Z

Last week started out bad and got better, with a few icks in there.
This week has started out pretty good, I hope it gets better

Last Monday and Tueday - I worked (which is where I am now) I have yet to get paid, I hope that happens soon, today would be ideal, at least for the first week I worked. Working here isn't too bad, I get work done, relax and read, but just siting in one place is tiring.

Wednesday: EDGE Confirmation night, followed by dance. The EDGE night was humorous, I got to dig for gummy worms in a whipped cream/Oreo pie...and then go to dance. Needless to say, by the end of the night, I smelled like curdled milk.

Thursday: After school, I DID NOTHING! 'twas glorious.

Friday: St. Patricks Day. yumyum. At night, Bryan and I went to Starbucks, debated about psychology and fell asleep...how typical of us.

Saturday: We taught religion, had bagels and then I went home. He came over later and we were going to watch Rudy, but I fell asleep like 5 minutes in.

Sunday: I was in a skit at mass, then Life Night. funny times.

Today: School was relatively pointless. whatev. And now I'm here...typing this...and getting paid for it =D

On other notes...
-St Johns is the worst college ever when it comes to admissions, no offense.

-In my last entry, I mentioned Prom stuff being squared away...not gonna lie, Gabbie and I are worse off than we were. We basically got screwed over, whatever. Me, Gabbie and our dates are going and thats it probably. It'll be more fun - no drama, no people who hate us and we can do whatever.

-Its Spring, and even though it was snowing this morning, Springtime makes me terribly happy =D

-Bryan is uber cool and looks rad with his new haircut <3<3<3

-Last kickline thing ever on Friday and the boy is not going >_<
I'm hoping to get Kate to go. who knows. I have practice Wednesday and Thursday...then thats it...FOR REAL. :o)

I'm spent.

this vacation isn't one to write home about...

2006-02-24T03:28:13Z

This break has been relatively uneventful, aside from a few exploding eyes and some 2am popcorn.

So, last Friday was mine and Bryan's Valentine's Day and it was the epitome of wonderful. aw<3
He took me out to dinner to Peter's Pasta in Babylon and it was too cute. There were even old people singing. And everyone around us was drinking wine, I felt like I should have been in a soap opera. Then we went to my house and gave each other presents. I gave him a garbage pail, well more like a waste paper basket full of stuff. It was cute. And he gave me a DVD, teddy bear and a gift certificate to a nail spa place. aw aw aw <3

Next day, Saturday, we taught religion during the day and went out for bagels after. Then that night we went to 7-11 and bought ice cream and went and watched a bootleg Brokeback Mountain at his house. I don't think I liked the characters I was supposed to like in that movie, but it was good.

Sunday: Not much during the day. Church + Life Night at night and then me and Bryan went to my house and I made myself some Lean Cuisine "meal" to eat, however, three bites in Bryan thought it would be a good idea to put an inhuman amount of salt on it and thus, ruin my dinner. Way to go dear. So, we went to the Cup, where he ate cake and I ate food and apparently, I'm fat because I eat all my food or something. Then we went back to my house again.

Monday: I woke up with an eye the color of tomatoes. And it hurt...quite a bit and I couldn't really open it. So it sucked. Byan came over that night and gave me his glasses so I could at least see since I couldn't wear my contacts and we hung out 'til he had to go home.

Tuesday: I was supposed to go ice skating with Edge, but due to MY EYE, I couldn't. So i sat home with one eye closed all day, being quite bored. Bryan came over again and I was mad because my eye sucked at life. Thus wasting TWO days of my one week off.

Wednesday: My eye was a little better, but not quite and I did nothing really all day. I stayed up super late and ate popcorn and watched soap operas until about 3:30ish. It was good for me =P

Today: Nicole, Vicky and I spent a majority of the afternoon playing Dance, Dance Revolution like big nerds. Then I showered, got ready, tore apart my room unsuccessfully searching for my movie gift certificate, went to an EDGE meeting and then went to the movies with EDGE. We saw the Pink Panther. My IQ undoubtedly dropped 35 points, but I laughed a lot...loudly. It was funny - stupid funny - but nonetheless, funny.

Tomorrow is ALREADY Friday and apparently I'm going rock climbing. I promise pictures as long as they don't involve me a bloody mess draped over a wanna-be rock. Kidding, kidding...I hope. Anyway, that should be fun, and if not, it will be an experience.

Oh! More good news from the life of KP:
Aside from getting into Post, the other day they sent me a thing saying that I got into the Honors' Program with a $17,000/year scholarship. ::bows:: Now I'm even less college-less.

I need to stop typing. Sorry this is long and boring and if you are reading this, congratulations for making it thus far.
toodles.

I'll take calligraphy
And then I'll make a fake degree..."
oh, college....::shrug::

As he pulled in I saw lots of red things in his backseat...BALLOONS. I ran to the front door and let him in. He got out of his car with his arms full of balloons and presents but I had to refuse to open them because #1. I didnt have his presents yet and #2.we are going to celebrate valentines day on friday because hes in stinky college.
anyway, hes too cute and we had a funny conversation
Me: Aw, so what do you want to do on Friday?

Me: Ok, ohh, lets go soemwhere nice.
Bryan: I was thinking like Peters...likes I already made reservations.

Long time, no update.

New Year...

School: It should be over. Its midterm week. I like mid-term week. Three tests yesterday, I did good on AP Calc. :o)
Spanish was easy
And AP Environmental was the hardest one of the day.
No tests today, kickline later which is silly
Everyweek should be midterm week

Not much else goes on

Two Sundays ago, Bryan and I went to the city. We went on a Horse and Buggy ride and it was oh-so-cute. He is oh-so-cute. WE are oh-so-cute. We also went to Carmine's and ate enough to feed 2.7 armies. <3333

Train

He's a goon

So am I
it was a really bad photo day for us. =P

I don't like him in college cause I can't see him everyday, but he comes home to see me. <3

This past weekend was fun.
Friday night, Bryan and I went to Applebees and then back to my house where my daddy had just got home from Texas.
Saturday: Bryan and I taught religion. THen we went Ice Skating for Amanda's bday, my one regret is that I never became a figure skater. Then we went to Applebees again for her party. Later my family came to my house for Vicky's bday and then we went tot he LifeTeen Office for Carol's going away party
:o(
Stupid immigration laws

I look really bad there, but its okay.

Anyway, thats all for now, I'm going to go cook myself a lot of food because I can. haha
Anyway, I'll update the next time something interesting happens. toodles <3

..and to a dark and hopeless world Your Son was born...

2005-12-28T04:37:32Z

Merry Christmas! :o)

Life is good…a brief update

Vacation started which is of course fabulous. The last week of school was kind of pointless anyway. Tuesday I opted not to go to school and went to the mall. I did have a cold. We didn’t do much in any class, and nothing on Friday except Gov cause Viggiano hates everything.

And I sent my Fordham App out!!!

Work at the flower shop is over, which is good (until I’m broke anyway) even though working wasn’t bad.

The first night of vacation I stayed up until 3 AM making cookies. It was worth it and everyone gained 7000 pounds.

Christmas Eve: No one thinks much of Christmas Eve, but I looove it. It’s a big-ish deal in my family. Everyone came to my house and ate fish. My family is still crazy and Michael is cuter than you. We did the present thing. I got some rad stuff.

At midnight, Nicole and Bryan and I met his family at Our Lady of Grace for Midnight Mass. I still prefer OLPH and I wish we went there, but its some silly Burtner family tradition.

On Christmas morning, everyone slept late. Surprisingly, I was the second one up. Anywho, once we were all awake, we did the whole present thing. Again, rad stuff. Nicole got me the shirt I was going to get her and I got her the shirt she was going to get me! But good thing, because I prefer the one I have and vice versa.

My parents, I mean, ahem, Santa was nice to us. I got a palm pilot, a new cell phone, a desk chair, a memory card, massive amounts of clothes, pocketbooks, a coat, and etc… Anyway, later on we went to my aunt’s house. It was fun.

When I got home, Bryan came over. We did the whole present thing. I got him:

-a stocking with lots of Bryan like things in it

-an ornament

-an electronic coin sorter

-little Pittsburgh Steelers mugs

-a sterling silver bracelet

-and a massage/ heat thing for a chair.

He liked everything. I like him

He got me:

-a poster

-slippers

-a bath set

-Full House DVD set

-a teddy bear

-and a ridiculously soft robe from Bath and Body works

-he also gave me a “voucher” for a horse and buggy ride around Central Park. Aw <33

I <3 Christmas. Its not over folks. Lets celebrate.

Monday I didn’t do much during the day. Cleaned up and tried on clothes. At night, Bryan came over and we watched Full House and ate pie. =P

Today, we went to my g-pa’s house and he gave us some more presents: $50, Happy Perfume and an electric blanket. Score!

Now, I’m home I had dinner, I feel fat and Bryan is at some stupid boy show in NJ and I have no plans and I am greatly enjoying it.

I plan on watching some TV under my electric blanket and doing not much else. I feel like being 4 and making something with glue, but I don’t know what.

Oh well, that’s really all for now.

2005-12-10T01:05:46Z

This should be fairly brief

Ok here we go

School: lame lame lame. Lots of work, but its survivable
APES is pretty easy, the people in that class are getting dumber and dumber, I guess thats what happened when you get into college. Today they were talking about feeding all the poor people and how everyone should not be greedy. I think they need a long look in the mirror at those Gucci shoes...mm yeah. In the words of Gabbie, "Sell your Armani bags and go buy a country"
Spanish is easy too, not a bad class
English really makes me drowsy x core. And today I acted as the opposite of a peer pressurer? As in I told someone NOT to do something and he didn't. :o)
Government: I'm really not a fan. I'm so lost, I am the definition of medicrity when it comes to that class, its depressing
AP Calc makes me laugh like you won't understand. We play some sick review games and I got a 93 + 2 = 95 on my test today!
Gym volleyball is AWFUL. =( People need to understand that not everyone is a natural born volleyball player and some people don't enjoy sliding across the ground to miss a ball and fall on their face, which my team often does. They get mad when I don't hit it; I laugh, they get madder. Anyway, I'd like to tell Miss Volleyball All-Star to do a toe touch and we'll see whos talking. mmkay.

That brings me to
Kickline: Its been going pretty well. Its been a work out since the start of basketball season. We had some CRAZY choreographer come last Saturday and act like a nazi, but it was fun. Everyone on that team talks too much and I want to tell them to SHUT UP but then they'd dislike me more. hmph. Last Sunday, we had the football dinner. It was as I expected, I didn't win any of the kickline awards, ie: my team doesn't like me that much, I guess. That humilty thing, oh yeah, kicks a girl in the face sometimes. The CRAZY part is, they have no reason to dislike me. Maybe if I broke the law on the weekends and skanked myself up, we'd be mad tight! ::rolls eyes::
Anyway, rather than one of those possessed trophies, I did, however, win the "Big Four Award". Yeah, it was, umm, say $500. I'll take that over your trophy anyday. I was sitting there at one point and I looked at one of the trophies and this thought came to mind, "Thats probably worth about, oh, $15 and would clutter my shelves, however that envelope in my pocketbook..." you get the idea. =D

Onwards
Work: Yes, that does say work, no, your eyes are not playing tricks on you, I'm working again, back at the flowershop. Its really not bad at all. I've been working alone pretty much which is good, its kind of a relaxation compared to the hustle and bustle of everything else. Grace worked a few times and that was fun. ANd starting tomorrow Bryan will be there, which brings me forward...

Bryan: LOVE! hes on his way home from Pittsburgh now and he is amazing. <3

College: I took the SATs for the third and final time last Saturday, I'm anxious to see how that went. ACTs tomorrw, I'm not really anxious for that. Anyway, I handed in CUNY Honors App cause the deadline is mega soon. I'm going to write my Fordham essay this weekend, I think I finally have a solid-ish idea. Its gonna be tough.I can't wait until I'm done.

Speaking of Fordham, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, Kate and I went to the city and visited Fordham again. We also went everywhere else. Rockefeller Center, Lincoln Center, Columbus Cirlce, Time Warner Center, St Pats. yeah, we had fun. i <3 that girl. too bad I forgot my camera, and my long jacket =P

Tonight, I'm staying home. Tomorrow ACTs, then work and then lots of Bryan time. mmmyeah.

Lately, I've been a season dork, like I feel like I should do season specific things, go ahead and laugh, and while you're at it, come on over and we'll have a snowball fight and then sit in front of the fireplace, drinking hot chocolate and watching Miracle on 34th Street. :o)

That reminds me, me and Bryan are like an old couple. We fall asleep when we hang out. haha loserlovers<3

This could be because I've given up sleep for...Advent? Well regardless, I need to sleep more
Today, I said to someone, "I'm surprised I haven't dropped dead yet." I'm glad I haven't though.

I don't know what to buy everyone for Christmas! eek! i love me some Christmas.
i think I should be done for now.
someone tell me how to get a new layout for this here thing.
thats all

toodle-ooh

Y o u w a l k a n a r r o w r o a d
I know you face it o n y o u r o w n
But you've got the will inside
I can see it in our eyes
You're not about miniskirts
And silly reasons just to flirt
'Cause you've got h e a v e n o n y o u r s i d e
And thats h o w y o u l i v e y o u r l i f e . . .

You're not sugar and spice and everything nice
You've got character and you've paid the price
You're not after self-perfection
You're living out your redemption
What s e t s y o u a p a r t from everyone else
Is that you know your Savior and you know Him well
What makes you d i f f e r e n t from all the rest
Is that you won't let it get to you...

2005-11-20T00:40:15Z

I felt compelled to update for some time now, and I think now is the first time I've been able to sit down and do so, even though I really should be doing other things.

oh well...

When I first wanted to update again it was to vent and riot

and now I'm not as full of steam.

hmm, last night was the second girl's night

team KPKV is amazing, we ran around yelling for a while setting up

the night went really well. i'm pleased.

we had a scavenger hunt:

Kristin was really happy when she found the eyeball!

as was this group when they found the crown.

they're pretty cool

anyway, last night was fun

last week, we had little school

monday was school and then cafe catholica

then danielle and brittany came to my house and we laughed

tuesday, i dont think i did much

wednesday: kickline practice after school i suppose

thursday was our last football game of the season

or last ever for me.

some of the girls had a "seniors party", however, not all of the seniors were invited (KP included) NOT that i would have gone anyway because i don't approve, so considering the lack of an invite and the lack of a desire to break the law, (and cause i like danielle and brittany) me danielle and brittany went to applebees

there was a scary blonde man and my sister was there, because OF COURSE, it was thursday

she was there with her friend Ryan who sang "My Humps" for us, I may have wet myself.

me and danielle shared a brownie and photgraphed it. i don't know why either of us look like that, but we're cool anyway.

fridayyyy: i believe i went to bryan's house and died or something

no big deal

saturday: i went to the city with my mommy and daddy to see colleges

we saw hunter and fordham

see, if i went to hunter i'd go strictly to the honors program, which is real hard to get into, so blah for that

and the school, i wasnt thrilled with.

some girls raised her hand and was like "do we have to be like takin the SATs" and some mom asked if he daughter had to take the "acts" not the A.C.T.s the acts, like the word. yeah, for city colleges

then we walked 1.4 miles to fordham in lincoln center. i walked in and saw a priest and i was like "this is more like it"

i liked it, a lot. like i wanna go there

like its a lot of money.

like i need to get a 35 million on my SATs.

it has the third most grass area in manhattan central park is first and columbia's football field was second i believe

regardless, i liked it there, it was very me

like it was catholic and grassy in manhattan. ideal.

hopefully, it won't turn out to JUST be an ideal.

then after the city we went to my uncles house for my cousins confirmation party, bryan met us there and then we went to my house.

lovelovelove<3

sunday i went and visited st. jospehs. ew. >_<

no longer considering there, i felt like it was a combo between LHS and OLPH elementary school, i disliked it a lot.

i saw post like 2 weeks ago, i think its really pretty there. yessir

anyway, this week was long long long.

monday was cafe catholica

tuesday: day one of kickline tryouts

wednesday: day 2 of kickline tryouts + dance

thursday: actual tryouts for kickline, very interesting. it was like LHS idol, no, im serious.

then edge

yesterday, girl's night.

woo.

anyway, back to the original venting post

#1 - drama is so annoying and it is occurring EVERYWHERE i go

#2 - i dislike the lack of faith, and i don't mean religion faith, i mean like faith in people and things.

i despise it when someone doesn't like the way something is going and just gives up and doesn't do anything to try fix it. this applies to several people. its annoying.

#3 - people who think they are cooler than everyone else...aren't.

#4 - i don't like cliques, attitudes, problem seekers, etc.

#5 - some "organizations/clubs" make me want to THROW UP, as do the fake people who are in them.

#6 - there are better things to thrive off of then drama

::sigh::

thats all

anyway...

my boyfriend is a hairy fruit loop, no, seriously:

he looks like a cave man or something, full beard...what?

yet, hes cute, get over it

college...i need to go there, which means i need to get in, which means i need to apply

deadlines approach far too quickly

list?

- Fordham (lincoln center)

- CW Post

- NYU

- St Johns

- CUNY Honors

- Pace?

that list is too short to make me feel comfortable.

grr >_<

maybe, i'll just forget staying home and go to Oxford.

hahah! KP is funny

i think i did good this quarter, i'm satisfied.

this time of the year i'm liking more than i ever have before minus the cold

i want my room to be cleaner than ever before

and buy me candles :o)

that's really really it

peace, love and something else

toodles.

There are so many things I should be doing rather than this...

2005-10-25T17:27:51Z

Seriously though, there are, but I'll do them, later or something.

Welll, I think will have no real plot or anything but just a bunch of nonsensical rambling so

Basically, crazy, is an understatement, but its okay. I have A LOT i need to do before well, everything. You know how most people get senioritis? (ie: they do no work because they're a senior), yeah well, i think I have the opposite, whatever that is. Anyway, I'm a nerd and its okay

Every single day in a long time has just been weird. Seriously, like nothing is normal, its like I'm in some sort of weird soap opera wanna-be teeny bopper show. Its kind of funny.

Last weekend was good. We had a game Friday and we did well, I think. After half time, me, Bryan and Brittany went to the Cup. "good times" losers.
Saturday me and Bryan taught religion. We had to give a test, it was hard. Ultimately, the lowest grade was a 70. We helped them out of course, but its okay and we even had a few 100s. yippee. I'm gonna go broke buying lollipops.
Saturday night: Me and Bryan went to the movies, we saw Dreamer. Now, I'm not gonna lie, the only reason I had any interest in this movie was because Dakota Fanning was in it and I love her so we saw it, and it was good. Like I reallllly liked it, far more than I thought I would. I recommend it! Then we went back to Bryan's house. It was fantastic. Re-reading that, no one knows what that means, but it was. THere's a whole slew of long stories, but everything is good now. <3 mmhmm.
loverrr <3

Sunday: I don't think I did anything in the day, LIfe Teen at night. Good stuff, no life Night went to Friendly's with Nciole, Britt, and Bryan. Honestly, I almost dies laughing, Seriously, I don't even remember what was so funny. Me and Bryan shared an enormous ice cream thing, we're gross. haha

Moving on, school yesterday was insane. I was like 15 seconds late to lunch because I was in guidance and I'm walking there carrying more that my own weight, scrounging around to get my ID card out and MR O'Connell is like "why are you late?" ugh. because i was cutting? thats why I'm here. please note the guidance pass hanging out of my hand. thanks. KP meekly replies in the fakest voice she could muster up "I was getting a pass for guidance"
loser.
Anyway, Cafe Catholica was last night, I darn near peed myself laughing so hard. Chocolate and strawberry milk. ahh hahaha.

Today: school was decent I think. I wrote some lame essay on El Nino, which as Mr. Guthke says, "everyone knows, means the nino" hahah. Then lunch and spanish and english and gov and calc. seeeeee how unimportant they are? mmyah. Calc makesme laugh and vomit. I feel verrrry accomplished when I get those problems right. Like I throw up the touchdown hands and want to take a bow. yeahhh.
Now I lucked out and don't need to go the yearbook meeting cause I handed in my stuff. I have a feeling that editor thing isn't going to be mine. darn. >_<
Kickline in a little while. It'll be survivable, i think.

hmm, I'm tutoring some 10 year old boy tomorrow at the library. Should be ok. I really am poor and I desperately want these shoes from Bakers

yessir. anyway, I have so much college stuff to do, I think I'm terribly behind.
I have a meeting with Trude tomorrow, this is like only the SECOND meeting i've had, meanwhile her more favored students have like ONE A WEEK. gr, i am not going to college. AND SATs make me SO mad. The second time I took them I went down in both reading and math, and up in writing. I got a 700 in wirting and a PERFECT score on the essay ::bows:: that made me celebrate, but withmy combined scores I got like a 1970. Not bad, but I wanted to break 2000. oh well, maybe I'll take them in December, hence the point of guidance tomorrow. I really just wanna up my reading score, cause math is good, but roar. I do not want to take them again.
I'm really not applying to any COMPETITIVE schools. They're good, but not like Columbia Cornell stuff. I'm not into that, and I AM into staying home. I'm realllly looking into CUNY honors but its like way hard to get into. grr. Oh well, time will tell. I need good everything. I should not be writing this right now, I should be making a resume, or getting stuff for recommendations together orrrrr finding colleges or getting applications. haha. I will, later, I don't really have a choice. WHY AM I RAMBLING SO MUCH?

okay i'm done
iwuvyouuu<3

pepperpots88 @ 2005-10-05T13:58:00

2005-10-05T18:22:31Z

Ugh. ugh to many things. Firstly, I updated and my comouter is lame and I lost it. yea.

Well, I guess everything's been...going.

School is really dumb.Every peiod is worse thanthe last I think. I'll show you.
1st period: AP Environmental: Guthke. I like it, I think, Some of the people started to get reallllllly annoying lately. Guthke's a funny guy though. He tells awful jokes everyday, but tis funny. Um, Guthke and me have matching mugs. Thats all.
2nd period: GYm is lame. bye
3rd period: Lunch. No comment.
4th period: Spanish. Its okayyish. Boring though, very boring
5th period: English. Awful, Mr Matin is so boring, the people in that class, with the exception of a few, are SO annoying andddd Beowulf is lame.
6th period: Government. I can't keep up, with current events, with the other people, with Vigginao. It makes me nervous. Its stinky.
7th peiod: AP Calc. WWHYYY? DARN OVERACHIEVER. :o(

Anyway, I have 8th period AP Calc every other day and then I go home, and on the days I don't have AP Calc 8th, I go home after 7th. Its way better. So those days I get home at 9, at least I've had a break in between.

Kickline is going okay. Jillian and I made up a new routine. It came out goodish I think, but things are ANNOYING.

Aside from that, stuff hasbeen okay.
Friday me and Bryan went to the Cup and then we came back to my house. We probably fell asleep or something. =/
Saturday was mine and Bryan's first day of teaching religion, it went..okay. I can't go this Saturday due to the SATs (lame) so hopefully it will go okay for Bryan. Later on, me, Bryan, Danielle and Britt drove up to Yonkers for Catholic Underground. It was good. Adoration was too short. We went to Confession, the friars are good with that. We listened to Fr. Stan skat and singthe blues. haha. Me, Danielle and Brittany talked about God and adoration and Jewish boys. hahah. It was a fun night. Danielle makes me laugh<3 Brittany does drugs<3 i love Bryan<3 and God is good<3 WHAT A GROUPPPP<3
Anyway, after that we went to the diner with some other people. There were like 11 of us, it got a little irritating,but it wasn't tat bad. I mostly just talked to Danielle and Bryan. Anyway, I got home late when me and Bryan got back to my house, we just in the car for like 10 minutes and then stood outside for a while. It was sooo niceout and pretty and late. Anyway, then I went to sleep
Sunday I did not much. I went to the fair with Nicole and Brittany, it was lame. We ate at Blimpie and went to church. It was NAtional Pickle Day. After was the Life Night. Pretty good.

School Monday.

Tuesday, no school. I woke up at like 5 and drove with Nicole to ST. Johns. Sat arfound for a while, did my English homework. Eventually, found Bryan went to his room,met his roomate. Then we went to the mall. It was fun, but I lost one of my bags with stuff I bought. gahh. =(
Today, no school again. I've done nothing so far. I feel kinda sick.
Whatever.

THats all, I guess.this was a lame update.
Comment and make me feel unlame.

pepperpots88 @ 2005-09-10T18:29:00

2005-09-11T00:05:08Z

Soo, that’s that, I would officially be a senior, and I'm not exceptionally happy about it, I meant, its good, because otherwise I'd be a junior again, but I think this whole senior thing is terribly overrated. If I see one more person's profile with "SENOIRS '06" in it, im gonna throw up. "VOMIT '06" Everyone's all jolly cause they get out at out like 12:30 and I'm like yeah i get out at about 9 at night. And everyone else has 5 classes with 3 study halls when I have about 20 classes. I was def on crack when I made my schedule, but whatever.

So my schedule is long and unforgiving

1st period: AP Environmental: Mr. Guthke. Decent class, decent guy, definitely survivable.
2nd peiod: AP Env/Gym: I got switched into this gym, but its gym and that sucks.
3rd period: Lunch...I'm not a fan, ::fingers crossed:: that Gabbie switches in, but who knows.
4th period: Adelphi Spanish: Mr. Leahy, I didn't necessarily want him for a teacher, but he seems okay. On the other hand, its probably full o some of the most annoying people in my grade, although the first couple of days weren't too bad.
5th period: AP English...I'm sorry, I mean, AP Literature and Compostition...AP Death: Mr. Martin. I don't know, this class seems ehh, there's a lot of pretty cool people in it and its not full of semi-smart deralycks but Mr. martin is like one of those intellectuals who uses words so big I'm afraid hes going to choke on them. His rugged cave-man esque looks are deceiving. ::shrugs:: I think the class is going to be pretty hard thoug, I can't analyze "literature" very good, or is it very well? ::sigh::
6th period: AP Government and Politics: Mr. Viggiano, Now, odds are you're probabl thinking why would Kristen take any class on politics, much less an AP one, and the answer is...I HAVE NO IDEA. I'm so bad with politics, due maily in part to my lack of caring, but Viggiano is insane and I laugh sometimes, the class is small which is good, but Vig knows Nicole and Bryan so that equals not good for me. We'll see how I survive.
7th period: AP Calc: Mr. Ehrhardt. oyy veyy, first off, this guy is such a little goober-like man, but he seems really nice, which is a plus because I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing more of him than he would like, cause I think I'm gonna need quite a bit of extra help. Friday he gave us a "challenge question". Apparently he did it in college and only 2 people in his class could solve it, and it took him an hour to do. Anyway, it was seemingly impossible to my still-on-summer-vaction brain, until Jason Gano got it in TEN MINUTES. ackhh. I'm so inferior.
8th period: AP Calc/ Study Hall: Whatever.
9th period: Digital photo: Mr. Dorch: pointless.

However, I have come to the not-so-alarming conclusion that I made the far-better-than-right decision by dropping Journalism.
::pats self on back:: I'm glad thats all behind me, I shall never again write an article for the newspaper and I'm pretty darn sure I'm over it.

Anyway, over the summer Bianc went to Rome and when I got home from Notre Dame, there was a postcard from him, awww. Anyway, he bought me a present there too. A rosary from St. Peters blassed by JPII. aww, I love Bianc, that made my day.

I chased lts of people through the hall the past couple of days, long story, not good enough to tell.

Wednesday was the first day and then Ihad kickline, followed by an EDGE meeting and then first day of dance, got home at like 9:15
Thursday was school, kickline and then EDGE, got home around 9:00
Friday, got home normal time, then left at 4:30 to go to Life Teen Girls' Night

So this Girls' Night thing has been in the making for a while, I think it went over pretty well. Me and Kate ran it for the most part. We had dinner, played games, talked, did a rosary made of candles and other stuff like that. It went overall pretty well. I <3 Kate and her driving. hhaha :o)

So its been fun, I'm probably going out with Bryan like now or later or soemthing.
I never know with that boy.
Oh well.

That's pretty much it, the back to school bash is tomorrow, that should be good.
That's all now. byebye

Hello. I don't have all that much to say. I think its safe to say that quite a bit of things have changed since my last entry. Lately, I've been busy-ish, but not really in a bad way. I can't remember the last time I did a real update telling you lovely readers about my mundane life, I think it was Bryan's birthday and much has happened since then.

Well, I spent a lot of time at the new Life Teen office/house...aka "The Life House".. painting and whatnot. Oh boy, those were some fun, crazy times. Each wall was painted approximately 17 times because no one can make up their minds, but thats another story entirely.
I babysat Michael 2 more times, chasing around a three year old for nine hours really isn't easy, just in case you were wondering. But Bryan helped me and we went to the parks and fed ducks and we're cute and Michael is really cute.

Sunday I went to the mall with Bryan and bought birthday presents and stuff. Then we went to church and then like 11 of us went out for Brittany's birthday, well like 17 went, but 6 ditched and sat alone, whatev. It was really fun and Ruth (new core member) is like the exact twin of Rachel Ray (the lady from the Food Network...call me a dork) Not so much in the way she looks, but she sounds just like her, its crazy! Anyway, Applebees was fun and I ate a lot, but its okay. Then I think me and Bryan just hung out.

Monday, I can't remember. At night was EDGE, we had a party, a VERY messy party, it was cute. Then me Kate and Jason, who were frighteningly all wearing the exact same color pink had a meeting. Then me and Kate went back to the other office and were talking and we got roped into helping carry furniture. No biggie. Bryan picked me up and me and him spent time together because he was going to school the next day. Now, I know he's coming home every weekend so therefore I don't like feel bad for me or anything, but that doesn't take away my right to miss the kid on the days I don't see him, enough said, now don't be mean.

Then on Tuesday, I drove with Nicole to St. Johns because shes a freak and needs to practice driving there. We got like lost IN THE CAMPUS due to a series of closed roads and one way streets. We actually came down a hill-like street to find that the two roads that branch off from it, we couldn't get on. One said don't enter and the other was blocked by a big truck and a nice tree, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. So, Nicole did a 17 point turn and we turned around.
On the way home we were listening to "New Again", and for you who don't know the song, its like a country-ish song with Jesus and Mary singing to eachother...long story short, Nicole started going on about how she couldn't imagine Mary being southern. That turned into a whole big fiasco..."Ma, theres no room at the inn" "Pass the fish and the loaves and the grits."
fine, maybe you DID have to be there.
When we got home we went to my g-pas house and saw him and then I had kickline practice. I guess kickline is going pretty good, we actually got through the entire routine, which I think is impressive, some things are still annoying though about that stuff, whatever.

So now thats today and after less than 2 days, I miss my boy and want him to come home. Well, he'll be here Friday and hes off on Monday so thats good. I'd really like to finish all my work before Saturday and honestly, this updating my journal thing isn't really helping the matter.

Homework:
-Read the Odyssey (half done)
-Write Odyssey paper
-Read Hardball and journal DONE
-Read O'Reilly factor (read some of it)
-O'Reilly factor paper
-Constitution Project (started)
-APES
     -Ch.1 DONE
     -Ch. 2 DONE
     -Ch. 3
     -Ch. 5
-Midsummer Night's Dream
-Othello
-AP Gov Paper

yeah, I'll finish.
My schedule is still crazy, hopefully g.Tang will switch around some stuff and we can be chill in the same classes.
Things are going well, except I can't find my Delta Goodrem cd.

Come to a Life Teen girls' night on September 9th and a Back to School bash on A BOAT on the 11th. woah be there lovers <3

I should jump on that homework thing
toodles kids.

I am empty, but I know Your love does not run dry...

2005-08-17T02:40:57Z

I really haven’t updated in like forever, but I’ve been pretty busy. That could just be my inner drama queen coming out, but I don’t think so, I think I've genuinely been busy, or else playing the part quite well.

Well I think I'm going to break your computer within the next 5 minutes with a massive amount of pictures because I haven't done so.

So...

Kate and me on the planeride there. The heinous-ness in this picture is due to lack of sleep, Joanna’s loudness at 3am, (haha <3) my exploding eyeball and a terrible fear of flying. Well we survived...we just looked like we didn’t (Don't even ask about a picture from the planeride home, that came out too terrible to post)

-The grotto- <3

So pretty.

Music!

The Bible Geek - Mark Hart. oh and PS his shirt is hawt. "The devil SUCKS" for you non-readers.

Matt Smith..."GRAVITY DOESN'T EXIST!!!"

Contrary to popular belief, that is not Harriet Tubman or my mom, apparently Jesus though. ::shrugs::

I don't really know why Kate thought it would be a good idea to sit like this. =P

Sometimes Kate and Jason like to wear the exact same color and then pose on the sidewalk.

Duck-party!

Baby ducks. Aw <3

Strike a pose!

Some missionary lady, I don't remember her name, but I was told she reminded people of me. That’s because she was crazy and giggled. :oP

The cute old priest that I went to Confession to. A picture was necessary <3

shhh...Sarah's sleeeeeepy. :o)

Joanna like watermelon.
I find humor in Joanna wearing a sweatshirt and Sara in the background in shorts and a tanktop. =P

I’m jealous of her hair. :o) jay slash kay!!...i know, i know...I'm dead.

He spent too much time with four girls. har dee har har. :o)

Brace yourself for...

"THE BEAR!!"

We got $0.75 coffee from a machine. Thats hott.

Southbend airport. I really have no idea why I look like this.

Brady Bunch losers. <33

TRADITION FOLLOWERS! GRRRR....cliche.

Father Jim cracks us up! Well maybe not Jason as Fr. Jim thought it would be a funny joke to tell Jason his car was broken. hahaha. =P

Waiting far too long for our luggage after we got home. Father Jim and Joanna in her, as Fr. Jim, put it "traditional Polish outfit"

"Friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them" <3

<3.Best.girls.<3

Well Notre Dame rocked and then came home, spent on week on this lovely island and went to Florida.

It’s a Small World…remodeled…ohhh baby

I <3 those horsies

So does Michael!

There's even traffic in the middle of the Magic Kingdom. oh brother.

However, I didn't get my permit for no reason! loser.

My future residence.

Mainstreet at night = <3

The Main Street Confectionary. candyxcore.

I want to live on Main Street.

My future job. Totally. orr...

Future job or future husband.

A model of a Disney castle elsewhere.

It fits him well. :o)

More hats!

I'm starting to see a trend.

He didn't like the noise from the fireworks.

That melted...fast.

The car thermometer. It went up to 105 at times, but 100 was such an even number. Anyway, the moral of this story...it was HOT there!

They cut the pizza in a grid!

These were frequents on our terrace.

Model <3

Dancer <3

Ladies' man <3

HOTTIE <3

"Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" stars.

SOAKED after the Kali River Rapids twice in a row. mmkay.

:o(

So we are in MGM one night and there are lights in the sidewalk, and when you stand on it at the right angle you're face glows in an eerie sort of way. hottness. Soooo, I stand on it and my family and the Perez company are all standning around. Apparently, I had an evil look on my face and before I knew it random passerbys were stopping because they thought I was a street performer. So I stared them down and got some good laughs. Its really a talent...

Roy is my best friend.

The man is hottttt.

Next time, believe me when I tell you she's really not normal.

The donkey is a PIMP.

hawt.

yeee-haw

yea. I really am that cool.

I really should work on my gang-symbol-flashing skills. =P

Christmas.Card.

Go ahead, be jealous of my face, I dare you.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Michael and Dale. ('cause he has a red nose, fools)

Pierings and Dale.

Us and Minnie...decked out in her beach gear.

Biscuits and gravy = VOM

Apparently, my donut was really good. Get over it.

My uncle is so making the "I'm too good for this coloring business" face, as we allll color. HOT.

My dad thought it would be a cool idea to help my mom color...with ketchup.
She doesn't seem to like the idea.

The finished product.

Well, we see this guy walking down the street selling this stuff, so Kristen thinks it will be cool to run up to him and ask him for a picture. So, she did and we took this hott picture and he let us wear the hottest ears.

Peek-a-boo.

That's really a talent.

Mannequins! umm, we like to get weird looks. This time we got the "should we be doing that too?" look.

i'm pretty much the coolest loser you know. :o)

Ok, I might be done with pictures forever. Anyway, the lat couple weeks have been fun. Saturday was Bryan's birthday. I bought him a silver crucifix necklace. He had a party, it was...good. Last night we watched Sideways, I totally do not recommend it. It stunk. However, yesterday I babysat Michael for like 10 hours and I was so dead, but then Bryan brought me coffee and I was awake and he was a sleepybrainpunk.

Um, today...I really didn't do anything. Showered, AP work, you know, cleaned and blah. Now the lamebrain boy is at a show and I'm bored. Umm...lets see.

-Summer is coming to a close
-AP Work is not
-Bryan's going to college
-Kristen's going to High School
-Next year is going to be crazzzyyyyy
-/+ I'm semi-ready
-Kickline starts soon, which isnt really a bad thing, but its hot and that means school is almost over
-I'm pretty broke-ish
+But no where near as broke as I was
-However, I owe Nicole money
-I don't want to go to college ever
+Bryan Burtner is wonderful
+I'm a happy girl
+After I get a few things in line, I'm so ready to tackle the new year....i think.

ok, well thats all! You better have enjoyed. umm, comment lovers.

I'm giving You my heart,
and all that is within.
I lay it all down,
for the sake of You my King.
I'm giving You my dreams,
I'm laying down my rights,
I'm giving up my pride,
for the promise of new life.
And I surrender all to You, all to You.
I'm singing You this song,
I'm waiting at the cross,
And all the world holds dear,
I count it all as loss,
For the sake of knowing You,
The glory of Your name,
To know the lasting joy,
Even sharing in Your pain
And I surrender all to You, all to You
