So today is Tuesday, which means that I had lovely colorguard. Samantha and Bethany asked me to come early, they'd both had missed two weeks of practice, so I was going to help them. Well Dad had dropped me off and I met up with the two girls. A few minutes before I left, my aunt marie told me that there was a tornado warning. Well there was one yesterday too and it didn't happen. I ignored the suggestion of any tornado until I saw the rapid lightening going on around us. We soon became very scared, since the doors to the band room were locked. Greatttt. Also the fantastic janitors wouldn't let us in the main building. Obviously we were going to steal something in the school? Stupid people. Luckily Samantha had driven her mom's mini van there, so we all ran for cover in there. In the middle of the school parking lot, with the junk car metal fence right beside us, and lightening surrounding all of us. It was very scary. Not to mentipon that there was a legit funnel cloud forming beside the school. Oh boy. Thank goodness it went away though, that would have been very, very bad. Little by little people started showing up, but not Mr.Bogan, the only person with a key. Nice. Sooner or later he showed up, we ran to the building since we were all carrying metal flags and rifles. Once we all got inside we got Samantha and I became very hungry, our choice? Run to chik-fi-a before practice officially started! Our plan failed because of some idiots who like to go like 40 in a 55. Hated that. We got back to find everyone sitting on the ground for roll call, Tracy said that it was nice to have us back;;we were in trouble. Not really though, she just said to notify her and not leave after 6 because she was resposible for us. No big deal. Either way we had a blast. Literally, counting that the thunder was very loud. We are currently planning to go to What-A-Burger after practice on Thursday, Samantha & myself. I just love her.

The Dog Days Are Over
It's pretty official that I'm in love with Cake Boss.
End of story.
Anyways, today was rather dull. Nothing extrodinary. Mom woke me up around 11 to be with the dogs while she was at work. Side note;; I really want to see Charlie St.Cloud, I just saw the commercial. Zac Efron is such a hunk. Back to what I was saying, mom went to work leaving me at home by myself. I don't mind staying home by myself, but there was one slight difference today than there normally is. A tornado warning. I absolutely hate thunderstorms, and to have a tornado around while I was home alone? Oh no way. I immediately went into a state of shock. I mean, full on hyperventalating. Too no suprise, there was no tornado. Thank God. That was basically the only thing different about my day.
-Have a good night my loves,
Kelsey

Reflection
Today is Sunday, July 11, well almost the end of it. I started off by waking up at 8:25am. I slept pretty well for going to bed at 1am. I went downstairs to eat some cereal only to find that we had no milk. boo. I had Eggo Muffin Tops instead. They were quite appetizing. To be frank, I just did not have a good morning after that. I couldn't find anything to wear! I changed about ten times in about ten minutes. It was crazy. I ended up wearing a long grey dress. It was very comfy. I had some high black heels on with it so I wouldn't trip over the fabric. Apparantly they were very high, as Andy made a comment saying that it looked like I could "go on forever." Haha, I didn't take it personally. After church my mom, dad, and myself went to Carrabas. It was very good if I do say so myself. I got the chicken and spinach pollendina. It was kind of like manicotti with spinach,cheese, and bits of chicken. Muy bueno. We went home after that where I took a lovely 2 hour nap while letting my music play. It was really relazing, just what I needed. I woke up at around 3 and decided to curl my hair. It tooke about 2 hours. But hey, with hair as long as mine that's pretty good timing. Sadly it did not turned out as planned. I put it up in a curly bun instead, which in my opinion, turned out pretty cute. It also took me awhile to find a night outfit. I ended up with a black skirt, red tank top with black short sweater, and red and white Dorothy pumps. I guess a lot of people liked it because I got a bunch of comments. I even got hit on by the cashier at Food Lion. Lovely. He asked me what grade I was in and I told him 11th. He said he remembered that year, so I asked him if he was out of high school. He said he was a sophmore in college. I thought he was pretty cute, too bad I'm not a senior so it wouldn't have been so awkward. Haha. Brownie points as Samantha would say. Now I'm casually watching Phineas and Pherb while in my sweat pants and tank top. I love just being a bum sometimes.

Bonfires and leetle shweaters on a summer night.
Tonight was an absolute blast in my opinion. It was our youth activity at Tami Bassette's house. We left from the church at exactly 6:30pm. All the kiddies on the bus were J'waye, Me, Johnny, Mitch, L'Tina, Cierra, and Michael. It was a fun ride, we all sang little bus songs. It was enjoyable, a nice start to the night I'd say. We arrived at around 7 o'clock. Ready to party. To bad it didn't turn out that way at first. It was actually quite boring. We were all just sitting around. Real upsetting. We had all brought specific clothes to wear for getting wet since there was a slip-n-slide. But we didn't know that there was a kiddie pool set up for Scott & Tami's nephew. Well, Brianna and Jwaye decided to shove me in it while going to get a drink. Thankfully Brianna fell in to so I didn't have to get her back myself. Score. We were absolutely drenched. Like it honestly looked like I just walked 10 miles in a terenchal downpoor. Lovely. I only had my bathing suit, a t-shirt, and bum skirt to change into. So I just left my wet clothes on since we would be getting wet again soon..so we thought. Before we ate, we all gathered around the tables to play a rousing game of SPOONS! I love it. It's so intense. Of course Kelsi and I were the first two to get tossed out. Man oh man. After the games, we ate hotdogs and hamburgers. Kelsi and I discovered that we are even more alike after assembling our hamburgers in the exact same order, with the exact same things on it. Haha, it's so weird but I love her. After eating it started to lightening. It was scary, but not scary enough to stop us from slip-n-sliding! Well, everyone else did minus me and a few others. I had changed into my lovely basketball shorts by now, hoping to stay a bit dryer than before. It worked thank goodness. But in the process or watching everyone else slide to their deaths, I got multiple frogs thrown on me. I will never look at toads the same way again. The slip-n-slide was over so we all huddled into the building for games again. I played "catch phrase" with Brittanie, Andy, Tammy, Cierra, Tina, Jwaye, and Dilon. It was crazy intense. Others were playing spoons again. It was loud all over the place. We finally settled down and went back to the bus to head home. We arrived back at the church at 11:30 where my father was waiting for me. I said my goodbyes. It was sort of sad because my two best friends, Kelsi and Kenzie or course (: , were leaving for Ohio tomorrow. They won't be back for two weeks, Boo. I will miss you guys dearly.
That's all for my blogging tonight, sorry for the lack of pictures. My camera "Big Red", as Kelsi dubbed it, is now broken. So there won't be many pictures until I find a new replacement camera. Sad.
Have a lovely Saturday,
-Kelsey.

Well that'd be somethin' turrable.
Today is Thursday ladies and gents, and do you know what that means? Colorguard! I've been negecting my flag this week due to lack of sleep. I felt bad so I took her out for a few whirl arounds yesterday. Right now we only have pracitice flags, which no offense, are crap. Half of them are ripped, but it's alright. You deal with what you're given and you'll like it. I can't wait for uniforms, they are being customized just for us. How groovy. I really am finding a comfort in this hobby. Something I'm not horrible at, yes. You see, usually I'm very uncoordinated, don't get me wrong I still am, but I just feel more graceful when doing colorguard. Like, not out of place or anything. Sure sure, there are your typical arrogant freshmen in the guard, but you learn to get by. Tracy (our instructor) always reminds us to work as a team. If we don't, everything will fall to bits. Now how tragic would that be? I've yet to have a single issue with anyone in the guard, and plan to keep it that way. I see myself really enjoying doing this. I only wish that I would've started in my freshman year and not my junior. Oh well, there's always Reynolda. A professional spin clinic in Winston Salem. I think? Anyways, I can do that if I really want to after high school. I can even do it while I'm in high school. But I don't think dad would drive me two hours away for colorguard. Haha.
Besides the fact that I have practice today, I am very much looking forward to tomorrow at 6:30. My church youth group is going to Tami Bassette's house for slip-n-sliding, fourwheeling, a bonfire, and a heck of a time. How exciting right? I love youth activities, they're just lovely.

"I'm just a rebel, that's all" (:
So the past two days have been the best for me all summer. They were epic to the absolute max.
Sunday started off with me waking up to a missed call from Kenzie Faith. I listened to her voicemail which told me that she and Kelsi (her sister) where having a few people over for fireworks at the park after night service at church. I was easily excited because who doesn't love fireworks on the 4th of July?! Anywho, I asked my madre who simply told me "we're going to your sister's after church in the morning, we won't be there that night" I thought, okay this is no big deal, we could meet afterwards or something. The day progressed slowly as I anticipated the night service. I countinually begged my mom to take me to the fireworks show to meet Kenzie, well she denied. Kenzie and I were devastated and were determined to find a way to get to eachother. Her parents volunteered to come and pick me up from my sister's house before church that night, what saints. I love them. Anyways, mom said "no, I don't want them being responsible for getting you, I'll feel bad" We then got into an argument, so I just texted Kenzie on my sister's phone to tell her the address. This probably was not the smartest thing to do. Mom said "You better tell them not to come." I simply replied with a "Well....they'll be here in twenty minutes." She was holding the baby at the time and told me "Kelsey Rae, you better be glad I'm holding this baby!" Hahaha, she was ticked, but it would be totally worth it. I left my sister's house laughing with the girls (kelsi and kenzie, that's what I call them by) about how my mom was mad. We made our way to the church to pick up out other passengers; Caitlyn Crazy Girl Hanna, Morgan Ya Momma Fries, Taylor Babe-in-a-suit Sapp, Jerey Get Money Covington, Ciara Sit Yo Butt Down Burrino (sorry if that's not your last name ciara! :/ ), and Makayla Make Ya Love Her Lemelin. Haha, thosse were all cheesy nick names. We were going to the fireworks show at Harrisburg Family Park, little did we know how crowded it was. We changed our minds about going because Brother Carson claimed that we could easily see them from the pool at their neighborhood. This seemed to be a perfect opportunity for NIGHT SWIMMING! The pool was closed and it was not allowed for us to go in, luckily we had a key and decided to rebel anyways. Yes, I was so excited, everyone was actually. We got there safe and sound, and jumped right in. The water was B-E-A-UTIFUL. We started to play fun little pool games, swimming back and forth, but still being precautious about cars going buy. There were midnight watchers out there. The adventure continued until we realized that a creepy van was circling the pool. Sssssscarey! We were all pretty freaked, so our bold adventure lasted all around 10 minutes. Way to go us. Haha. We were walking back to the house when this creepy guy smoking a cigarrette was walking his dog. It wasn't on a leash. Morgan and Kenzie decided to race when the dog got excited and attacked them! No on was harmed, but all of us were shaking like little leaves. When we finally go back we decided to do a celebrity look-a-like contest. Well not really a contest, it was just for funzies. Everyone was really into it as we took a plethora of pictures. Loved it. We ate some pizza and s'mores. They were delish. Then we all settled down at around 4am to watch Twilight....until 6am which is when we all crashed. The next day we all woke up at around 11. Suprisingly not too tired. We went to the pool again to tan. It was a beautiful day, and nobody was there at all! Vacant, just as we like it. We all played chicken, shark in the water, did handstands, pulled people in, made Jerey put a plastic bag over her head (haha) and had lots of fun. Of course, I would be the only one who didn't get any sun! Gosh, I just can't win with the sun ! We then traveled back to the house to watch New Moon. Loved it again, it's so good. Then we all got ready for the highlight of the sleepover...ECLIPSE! Ahh, nobody understood how stoked I was. Honestly, like making little excited noises the whole way there. I rode with Jerey in "Baby" Her car. It has no air, which blew. But it was a fun ride there. We stopped at the gas station where we both got huge drinks! I choose the 44oz. as Jerey got the whopping 64oz drink! HUGE! It was crazy, but worth it. We got to the movie super stoked of course. I was expecting to get my ticked for $5, since it was the weekday. Wrong. The lady told me that it was still a 'holiday.' I've never heard such bull crap from anyone else in my life. Seriosuly, July 4th was YESTERDAY! Some people man, some people. The movie was waaaayyyy worth the $10 though, I suggest it to the world. I ended the night by getting a lovely cinnabon, thanks to my dearest cousin. I love love loved this weekend. I would do it all over again! Oh how I love my friends.
Sadly there are no pictures, they're all on Kenzie's camera and computer. Boo.
Until next blog,
Kelsey (:

Quote of the Day: Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. - Maria Robinson; this quote is what I will be living by for the rest of my life.
I hate to be a Negative Nancy, but today has not been the best. I mean, sure it's the night before the 4th of July, celebrating out independence through fireworks, burgers, and get togethers; but for some reason tonight, I'm just not myself. I feel like I'm kind of being ignored. I don't want to be the center of attention or anything, but it's sometimes nice to just be noticed. Little things have been getting to me lately. I've tried to talk sometimes, and the people I talk to just kind of carry on their own conversation, forgetting I even opened my mouth. Did I do something wrong? Surely I would know about it, but then again, maybe not. My mom always told me, and still does, that I open my mouth too much. I am aware of this problem. It's so hard though, to control your tongue. Life get's boring, and I guess it leads to me blabbing about stuff that is not important at all. I've tried to stop, and I think it's getting better. Obviously not so much to reduce the issue. Gosh, what is wrong with me? I used to be so...good. Everyone used to love me, when I walked into church or something I would always get a "Kelseyyyy!", or something along those lines. Now I barely get a "hello." That's all I want sometimes, I simple hello, just to tell me that I matter to someone. Life kind of sucks right now for me. I just need someone to talk to, anyone if they would be willing to listen. I mean, I have people that do, but they always end up telling me "Well yeah, the whole youth group is like that.." or "You just have to press through." I've been pressing through my whole life. I hate it when people compare me to others. Or relate me to another situation. I'm myself, with my own issues, and my own solutions (which I can't seem to find.) I need advice for ME. Or maybe just someone to listen. I read about people who have cried in others arms, it looks and sounds like it would be nice. Just to let go, completely. Or for someone to really care when they ask "is everything alright?" Like, not just saying it because they feel obligated to or something. I want someone to say "no something is the matter, tell me." whenever I say "oh it's nothing.." That would mean the world to me right about now. Not because I want to sound like a sob story or anything, just once again to feel cared for.
Please don't thing that I just "want attention" or something stupid like that, because I just needed to vent.
