Justification for my Weirdness

there is none.

today, my dad was talking sssuupppeerrr loud on the phone with my brother's friends parent's to locate his missing/stolen/lost iPhone. i swear, i bet my family has destroyed at least ten thousand dollars worth of cellular telephonic devices.

but that wasn't the point of the "today, my dad...." above. i was going to say that because he was talking so loud, i went into my front yard and left Allison (from "Kelly and Allison's Summer Extravaganzic List" below) a ten minute long facebook video. At first i thought it'd be fun, leaving a video from my front lawn. until my neighbors started to walk past, and i looked like a total freak. but I'm pretty much over it.

my ADD has been so out of control lately. i thought i had grown out of the worst of it, but I'm starting to think that i absolutely have not. but its cool, at least i always have something to think about. like today, in choir, instead of learning the choreography to the Grease medley, i was thinking about how it was ironic that the "Fa" hand sign had fallen off of the wall. because they placed it on the board next to the all stater's photos. if you don't know solfege, the Fa sign is a thumbs down. therefore, there were like twenty photos of all staters lined up, and then a thumbs down sign. which i promptly pointed out to everyone. no one thought it was funny. story of my life.

and just now i sent in three psyche papers. so basically, today wasn't a totally terrible (alliteration. what have i come to, alliterating with the word "totally"?). i even talked to Shannon, who i havent talked to since freshman year. reconnecting is fun. even though she's probably like "damn, i knew there was a reason we stopped talking. shes freaking weird". I'm over that, too.

Cleaning My Car: a sonnet

You cannot see my seats
Due to my wrappers, bags, and books.
My father, overwhelmingly neat,
grew tired of giving it looks.

Now he has taken my keys,
With the intent of making me clean.
He is deaf to my cries and my pleas,
and my mother will not intervene.

So i'll go pay a visit to Rex
with the intent of removing the trash,
however i know this will be complex
and i wont be done in a flash.

my clock is three and a half hours early,
by fault of my brother, surely.

I

just looked in my refrigerator door, which is black and therefore reflective, and realized i need a haircut.

don't you hate that?

It Seems

...that i have some catching up to do. or you have some catching up to do, more likely.

so Disney world was really fun, obviously. there were cheerleaders everywhere, which made me nostalgic for my young cheerleading days, when Allison and I were the best cheerleaders Excel Cheer ever had. that's my story, anyways.

the rest of my spring break was much less exciting. I got a new job and turned my two weeks into Coldstone, and as much as i'd enjoy compiling a list of everything i hated about my previous job, i wont. because that would be unprofessional. and im all about being mature and professional. really.

so i spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday training at my new job, which was difficult. even though its the same thing, basically, scooping gelato is a science. im sure i just have to get used to it. Thursday was pretty crazy, i went straight from work to coldstone for work. i probably smelled really good by the end of the night, though. i know this because i get "Kelly, your hair smells like ice cream" all the time. its strange.

Andre, always the creep, came to see me at work THREE times. it was so intense. and even though he didn't buy anything, it was a wonderful experience. and on Friday he even brought Mallory. look at me, getting all hyper-linky.

I'm nervous for school to start again, I'm so over the stress cycle my brain goes through. but at least it'll be over soon. hopefully. i spent the entire afternoon at KD taking an ACT, which was extremely boring. and then i went home and filed all sorts of vehicle crash reports from last Wednesday. did you know there are websites where you can plug in a phone number and get the name and address of the person who owns the phone? that is so creepy. so for everyone with you ADDRESS ON FACEBOOK, which is already so, so wrong, take it off. or your phone number. if you haven't received a letter from me, you're lucky. because i really will write you a letter telling you to take it off, I've done it several times. I'm such a creeper extraordinaire.

I'm so jealous of Alex and Allison (assonance. and more, because assonance starts with an A also) because they went to Washington DC, my favorite city in America. sad day.

so nothing else to say. no deep thoughts to conclude with. but then, do i ever have deep, conclusive thoughts? nah.

kelly

an exponentially better day

thats Roxanne, my temporary phone. thanks nicole, i knew there was a reason you were three. :) as kimberly said "only in plano are there perfect blackberrys laying around unused in peoples houses". so true.

so anyways, thats really all i have time for. i leave for disney world with choir at like one am tomorrow morning, so i should probably pack. whateva.

The. Worst. Day. Ever.

and im not even being dramatic. here, for your reading pleasure, is a list.

1. 7:41 AM: i park my car, and as i sit in the drivers seat finishing my bagel (jew), this girl TRIES to park next to me and hits my back bumper. and i get out of the car and tell her not to freak out, that it happens all the time, and i got her phone number...to be continued.
2. my algebra teacher is gone, meaning i have to take my test after school instead of at lunch. which pales in comparison to the car, but still sucks.
3. my chemistry test was hard, which shouldnt happen. and typo-ridden, which distracts me.
4. leaving the building, i get a call from nicole asking me to come over. so as soon as i get out of my car, i drop my phone into a puddle.
5. the phone promptly freaks out, and now the keyboard doesnt work. RIP Francine.
6. I get home and all the chinese food is gone. thanks family.
7. I get home from the rec center interview (which my years of acting make me forever refer to as a "callback", which is embarassing), to hear that the girl that HIT ME IN THE PARKING LOT WHILE I WAS PARKED told her parents we were both moving, which is a lie, and i told her that it wasnt her fault, which is a damn lie, and her parents refused to give my parents their insurance information, which is just ridiculous.
8. this shouldnt be its own bullet, its kind of a positive. Belle saw everything, so i have a witness. whoopie.
9. i have to use my crappy gold phone.
10. OH, and i went to get my eyebrows waxed yesterday and she BURNED MY ENTIRE EYELID. so i look like i tried to put eyeshadow on with my foot or something, but its a burn i swear. so thanks to everyone who didnt mention it, i still know you noticed.

so thats that. the flip side is that my spring break unofficially started today instead of friday due to all my choir nonsense. yay for that.

this was such a depressing blog. whatever. im going to google for a new palm centro now, bc theyre freaking expensive.

I'm In

one of those weird moods i get in when i overdose on beatles music and The Catcher in the Rye. i always listen to the beatles when i read that book, and it always messes with me.

or its something else. which would suck.

sooo anyways. today was fun, but ill talk about it after my eighteen hour ACT class tomorrow. and thats a real number, if you divide by six.

If your walls could talk, what would they say?

if my walls could talk, i'd never go into my room. they'd probably verbally abuse me for covering them in musical posters (from my theater years. dont judge me) and honestly, they'd probably berate me also for the state of my bedroom floor at all times. i went to get my jeans patched up (because no kidding, my two favorite pairs of jeans ripped in the same week. then i got them patched. the first time i wore both of them again, they ripped. fml) and the woman gave me hangers, and i gave them back. i just informed her that my clothes dont go in my closet, and i therefore dont need any hangers. like, my desk doesnt mind if they're folded. neither does my floor, or my trundle bed, or my bathroom sink area.

alright well i was planning on writing more, but now my dad is telling me i need to clean said room. so...that sucks.

This Weekend

was actually one of the best ive had in a long time. aside from the familial drama that's occurred within the last two hours, it was really relaxing. now back to school again, which im dreading.

choir has taken over my life. we're singing this song that incorporates claps and stomps, which is impossible for me to handle while i sing, but im getting there. and in chorale we're singing this cool song called leonardo, and its really awesome and crazy but like thirty pages. and UIL is next week, and then disney, so my choir teachers are stressing. and when other people stress i start to stress, and then history repeats itself and im right back to where i was before winter break.

hanging out with allie and kimberly and stephanie this weekend made me realize how much i really miss my friends. i've been so consumed with bbyo and school and other things that i havent been able to see them much, aside from birthday parties and lunches. which arent enough. im so ready for this school year to be over so things can be normal again. junior year is killing me.

soooo today i went to starbucks with zoe to see her new love, but he wasnt there, so we just drove around in her new car, which is adorable. ha, just now i typed cart instead of car. what if we all drove carts? how crazy would that be?

we found out our o'crew terms for camp this week. o'crew is basically like doing all the grunt work around my camp (www.campolympia.com- best place ever), but you dont have you pay and they dont pay you. im really excited, but i signed up for a term that no one else i know is going to, so im nervous. i was thinking though, and i realized that im more scared of not being with my friends than i am meeting new people. and its not even just that ill miss them and it'll be totally different, its more that im sad they'll bond without me there and things will change. growing up sucks a little bit.

so i have a psyche test, and i was just taking a break from studying slash playing bejeweled on my phone. i am so productive.
