It's that time of year again...

Where I say goodbye to another year by writing a blog to sum it up in a few words.

JANUARY:

-Had me trying to forget the first "F" of my educational career...

-And trying to forgive Ally for seeing Mitchel Musso without me.

That taught me and her that going to events without each other would end pretty badly. And we have been having crazy memories at the shows we had all througout the year....

Ally & me finally got to exchange gifts where I got the Most AMAZING Santa one could give around Christmas time...-Me and Alerz also got recognized as Jonas brothers fans that day.
-I finally got my Jonas Calender so I knew what date it was again.
-The first time I ever heard SOS played in Wegmans.

A couple weeks later, believe it or not, I was with Ally, Ashley, and Brina to meet Demi Lovato... (AGAINNNN)

Later that night... Exactly one year from when we saw them last... I saw the Jonas Brothers, on Joe's 19th Birthday, at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, NY...

-I don't have any pictures but the weekend after that I went to a "MASH BASH" benefit for my Aunt May who had brain cancer.

-That was while Unique was at my house. And I got to see her for the first time in a long time, they very next day.

The next weekend... This Amazing Day took place.
I think it was my favorite day out of the whole year.
Me and Ally tried to win a contest with a poster... We didn't win, but A LOT of people told us that we should have. I met Kat & Janice and asked them to do us a favor and we're so grateful that they did. The boys hopefully got out gift... We met Demi Lovato's band. THE MOST AMAZING BAND EVERRRRR!! Lol. Inside of the show, we met Papa Jonas...

And Me, Ally, Kate, Mikayla... And apparently Papa Jonas and SELENA GOMEZ ....

ALL enjoyed the Jonas Brothers & Demi Lovato show once again.

That was also the show where this happened...

After the show, me and Al got to meet not only these two hotties...

And believe it or not... I got to meet this girl again...

-Ended OCC... And it could be for good this time
-Madison had her first ever visit to Syracuse without her mother.
-I had a pretty great Christmas.
-... and it is officially 21 days til I see RYAN CABRERA At the Wescott Theater.
-And it just so happens to be 4 hours and 26 mins. until it is 2009.

I really hope it's gonna be an amazing year. I have high hopes and some a little bit lower....

But if there's one thing that I have learned from this year is thatsome things are not gonna work out exactly the way you always plan. Everything really does happen for a reason... good or bad. But the things that do work out can only happen once and you should enjoy every minute of it.

So it is now that I say goodbye to 2008, and look foward to 2009.

See you next year.

Black Friday pt. 2

So as we all know, the day after Christmas is another busy busy busy shopping day.

And shopping is what I did.

I tried to meet up with Ally and Kayla throughout the day but it didn't really work.

I went everywhere but ended up being good with what I got which was some jeans, and a pair of fringed boots that I am seriously in love with right now!!♥♥♥

The rest of the day, I did get to relax...

But it was good b/c Saturday was busy!!

I had to get up madd early, and we had to wait hours just for Nikki to tell us that she wasn't going with us to pick up Madison in Rochester.

Oh well, we went without her, and unlike the first time that she came for the weekend, she was amazing good, and just as happy as can be. We also stopped at my uncle Mike's on the way back. We exchanged gifts and I ended up getting $20 and "House Bunny" on DVD. Madison opened some gifts and looks at the tree and then changed into her very pretty dress. And then we couldn't really stay too much longer b/c we had to try and get back in time for the Cooke Family Christmas Party.

We had to stop at the house but we were already late as heck for the party, so it was a mad rush to get to Fayetteville.

When we got there, everyone said that we could finally exchange the gifts, which were doing early b/c a couple of my cousins had to leave.

I ended up getting a Mall gift certificate from my brother and Nikki... AND another one from My Uncle Ronald From California!... a gift from Mikayla for "all I've done for her this year" [awww], which was a t-shirt with some earrings and bracelet.

Then my actual "Secret Santa" was my Aunt Nora who got me a gift card to Kohl's...

And thn my Godmother got me a Disney Puzzle [oh me and puzzles...], and the Mary-Kate & Ashley book "Influence"!!!

[It's a big deal for some reason...]

After my gifts, I went with Mikayla to her room, to hang up the Jonas poster that I got her... and then to Bella's room to hang Mikayla's old one in her room.

Then it was back with Mikayla to dance to the Camp Rock soundtrack and Demi til Dinner.

Then after the food, we had a cuple very rousing games of Taboo before we headed out.

It was back to our house and then Madison opened up her gifts for before going to bed.

The next day, we took Madison to Wallyworld to get her picture taken there. She had this dress that we got her with a doll dress that's exactly the same. So she looked adorable, and the pictures will unfortunately not be ready for a couple of weeks. =(

After we went around there for a while, and Madison made a new friend...

We went home, and had sooooooooooooo much drama over having to bring Madison back, and it kid of ended badly. To the point where Madison had to ask if I was okay, my dad hasn't spoken to me since [though he tried yesterday].

So I'll say that officially ended the Christmas spirit...

And Madison is actually supposed to be coming possibly this weekend again... And it should be better.

So really, that kind of officially ended the Christmas season, along with some moolah from my Godfather that Monday, that I'm sure will be spent towards my HUGE credit card bill.

I guess that's it.

I guess the only thing left would be an end of the year entry...

To be continued.

Merry Christmas Everyoneeee...

So Christmas was yesterday...
Tis still the season.

Well my Christmas all started with my brother at around midnight walking through the door cursing in to his cell phone as my mom watched the Pope give midnight mass?...

Oh boy.

So he & Nikki fought and she called so many times that we eventually had to shut off the phone for a while.

When I woke up, I had breakfast, and watched Miley Cyrus f up the Disney Parade...

...again...

And then we opened gifts as my mom's friend came over and just... like watched us open gifts.

I ended up getting Gilmore Girls season 5, 2 shirts that I actually picked out, a Taylor Swift shirt, a turtle necklace, a Forever 21 gift card, some dvds, a tiara, Robert Pattinson poster and... other stuff that I can't remember... lol.

Then my mom forgot that I actually had more that she forgot about...

So I got a Beatles Abbey Road puzzle, The Elvis Mini-series that I love with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, and Twilight and New Moon.

[I actually founf out this morning that she also had a Jonas Brothers laminated pass.]

Then I had to get all prettied up and make pies as my mom and her friend cook'd away and Ryan left to be with Nikki's family for the rest of the day.

Then my mom's friend got into an accident as she went back home bc she forgot something....
Not bad, and she made it back i ntime to eat some delicious food, and we just chilled for a while.

A little before desert, My mom's friend, Laura [i think it's about time I just said her name], had her daughter Ashley come over with her baby, her boo and her boo's lil' girl come over for a bit.
My aunt, uncle from cali, my cousin and her boo came over for desert, and then slowly left.

So all in all, a busy day, but a good one...
with good people, good food... and some kick ass gifts.

Today I go shopping, and tomorrow we pick up Madison and most of the Cooke's get together for our semi-annual Cooke Family Christmas Party.

And I am jazzed!

Peace out girl scout.

Kelly is NOT going to OCC next year. I QUIT!!

So I decided to finally face the music and look up my grades for OCC [with my mother on the phone no less].

Now, let me just say right now, that I KNOW they're not gonna be A's, or B's... I'd be lucky to get a C...

But borderline D that would be so close to F that it wouldn't be funny....

I knew that I didn't want to go to college since probably the day I said I was going there. Even when it came out of my mouth I KNEW that I didn't want to be stuck in classrooms again. Going over the same old stuff that had been hearing the day before and the day after.

The first semester became the big question of... WHY?

Why did I come here.
And I loved my classes, except for one that everybody KNEW I hated: Color & Concept. It was basically a cut & paste class that sent me out almost every month to buy these expensive glue, and a carrying case... and though some liked it, my only enemy was my teacher. She would be total opposite of everyone else. Then when the year end came up I had to make up three/four assignments. I did what I could and in my Final evaluation for the year... My professer explained to me that I got an F for missing two pieces of artwork that I had before. And she told me to pack up what I had b/c she wouldn't even look at the others without them and departed saying for me to have a nice holiday and said that I was there to pass, not to get grades. Well grades is what passes you isn't it?

Confused I went through my second semester as a Humanities Major now, which was a lot like my third. But even though I wasn't A-happy, I passed. And to my mistake, I met with someone late, but she took me in. Even though she rushed me and made me feel like an idiot, I got classes that I needed and she said I would be fine to graduate in a year with everyone else.

So I went on this semester. Again, stuck where I didn't want to be, but I guess I kept going because I wanted to get out of this place. Then this year's adviser meeting informed me that I would have to take ANOTHER semester to make up for the Art to Humanities switch. I wouldn't have the money for it. So I had NO way to fail this time. I showed up ready to learn and tried to listen more b/c I NEEDED to pass the final to at least keep going.

So I studied harder than I ever have, and I both days I felt that I did better than I ever have so maybe I was safe.

And today, I got not only one, but TWO... F's.

They stared me in the face and I did nothing but cry and told my mom that enough was enough... I wasn't going back.

The only logical reason to go back is that I get money to go back for myself and for my school, and if you go for the two years, you don't have to pay anyone back. They helped you... and you did what you could.

So I have either none or at least one more semester until I get out of this constant hell I have been put into.

My mom asked me when, or even if I ever regretted going to OCC.
And I said that I regretted it ever since I said "I'm going to OCC".

It's a school of liars, and they can't keep me there anymore.

-College Dropout: PoCa

So other than the universal fact that life sucks...

I picked up this magazine where they had the 50 Hottest Guys in Hollywood list in the new Teen.

And you go Jonas Brothers on being #s 1, 2 & 3...

But someone who just cracked the top 10 was Robert Pattinson, who said this quote:

"I had a stalker while filming a movie in Spain last year. She stood outside of my apartment every day for weeks- all day, every day. I was so bored and lonely that I went out and had dinner with her. I just complained about everything in my life and she never came back. People get bored of me in, like, two minutes."

So I think that the Moral of this story is:

Stalk Robert Pattinson.
[and if he's bored he'll ask you out]
