I love you Katie LeFevre!!!

Fencing....yea...note to Joel: no one likes you, random mcrandom...where do you come from and why do you exist?? Here's the scoop--the point of fencing is to learn to parry....THERE IS NO POINT IN A DRILL WITHOUT PARRYING!!! I don't care if you "started the club" so did Kevin McMahan and he's just as stupid (ok, stupider) as you. YOUUUUU LOOOOOOSE. Good times.

ok..... I was sad my Daddy didn't come pick me up after fencing. I love you Daddy and I miss you!!

Goodnight all...I hafta go read Faulkner.
Leave comments.

Sometimes Syracuse sends me a really scary looking packet of stuff I need to deal with like choosing classes and taking math and French placement exams. Then Syracuse sends me a letter that says "your advisor will call you between 5 and 9 on Tuesday June 1" or whatever next Tuesday is and they wanted me to be by the phone. Then my dear dear advisor calls me today and I FREAK OUT....but he just wanted to change our appointment. The moral was, I freaked. Plus if he's running late he'll call the day after or even after that. I was like "uh, ok great thanks." Silly Syracuse!
Also sometimes I have AMAZING times at Cedar Point. Yea so Friday I worked the Greek Fest until late and then went home and to bed and then I head over to the school 6:15ish in the morning...awww good times. So then there was a yearbook bus (woot!) and a stuco bus. We went to Macdo in Erie and then arrived at Cedar Point around 11:30. Mr. Jensen gave us food money because he's awesome! Then we walked around: "we" being Brian, me, Lyndsey, this Digital Demon Tim who reminds me exactly of Arjay, and his best friend Joe Ostroff!! So we rode the Dragster which was AWESOME and then we went to Maccaroni's for pizza and air conditioning and we fed the ducks and we waited in line for hours to ride the Viper and then we waited in line and hung out with Conner and Kristine for Millenium Force and I may have forgotten something...but then we found Maria and Emily and we all hung out and then went to dinner (Thanks again, Mr. Jensen!) with everybody from yearbook... awww my love of my life was there!! He goes to the University of Michigan and I was dying of thirst and I said to Christine Hopkins that the person who finally brought me my Code Red (memories of camp) Mountain Dew I would want to marry and then he brought me some and as soon as my glass would get have empty (or half full) he would refill it and I drank like 3 glasses of it, but I had a full one left I couldn't finish. Anyway, I loved him and we were going to get married but instead I decided to adopt him and then Lyndsey would marry him and he would just be my slave and we would live happily ever after. Then we rode (after much discussion) the inside rollar coaster and headed back to the bus so out of the $40 my mom gave me I had $41.50 left over!! yay!! Soooo oh man good times. Then the bus ride home was long and tiring. It rained as soon as we got on the bus and then there was a steady thunderstorm all the way home. Brian fell asleep during Finding Nemo and then woke up (he couldn't miss his favorite movie) and then I slept (finally) from Erie until Fredonia and Angola to Colvin. Because a CERTAIN class of people who may or may NOT be JUNIORS specifically one boy and another random freshman boy did not WANT us to sleep making me, personally, and many others...MAD. RAH!! DIE STUPID JUNIOR!! Anyway....he's like "SO YOU TWO ARE SENIIORS????" and I'm like "we're trying to sleep, moron" but actually I'm like "yes" and he's like "ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT COLLEGE??" And I'm like "will you DIE ALREADY????" anyway.
The morals of the day were:
1) I love Brian!
2) I never ever ever want to see Ryan Cox with no shirt on again.
3) I am as pale as a ghost and nothing will change that.
Then Maria drove me home at 3 in the morning and she hasn't been seen since. Then I slept til noon and went to the Rugby game and then to JACEK'S FIRST MASS!!
All I hafta say is...."Father Polska???" Its just sounds wrong.
So now I hafta take Chels out for her birthday yesterday. Later!
And then on to fencing for the first time...ever!! YES!
**I love my Daddy, my Grandpa, and my Brian!**

Well... I'd say its about time for a happy entry for once. What do you guys think? This may be the last entry for 1,000 years because now begins the craziest month of my life (in stark contrast to the past saddest/worst month of my life) so that's gonna be pretty sweet.
Why did blogger change stuff up? I hate change!!
Randomness of the day:
buying man flowers! my shoe randomly falling apart upon entrance to the parking lot of the mall! KenWest's sudden forest-like atmosphere as witnessed in the baby bunny yesterday and deer around today! That was so crazy!! Dunckle... the crazy Scottish word of the day! The crazy phospherous discussion in WWII.... Seeing random Jess from karate/East at the mall; wild "offensive" aka stupid greco stuco... anyway today was really random and I don't even get most of it. It was just crazy. And after school I went to guitar/harp and then we bought man flowers (and Kim Murphy was working!) and then Marie and I went to Condrells to hang out with Adam Bouley and then we went to the mall and bought prom jewrlry and a bday present for Chels and then now I'm home to finish up the third book of "Farewell to Arms" ahaha, Jenna Evans got kicked out of AP English today. That was random. I wonder if she'll even notice? Anyway...tomorrow after school I have my dress fitting with Mrs. Kinney who has taken over my dressmaking..then she'll drive me to the Greek Festival.
EVERYONE GO TO THE GREEK FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND!! THE FOOD IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I'm working Friday and Liz'll be working ALL WEEKEND and Marie and Kim work on Sunday so come!!
Then I go straight home to sleep because I'm going to Cedar Point on Saturday from 6:30 am until 2 am Sunday and then I'm sleeping until noon when I'll go see the 12:30 Rugby game!! then maybe help Brian get a tux? Then homework, dress fitting, church...JACEK'S FIRST MASS AND A TEEN MASS!!!!!!! SATURDAY'S POLSKA'S ORDINATION!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO PROUD OF HIM!!!!!!!!!! Then calling Briana and finishing our project. Monday's gov project, karate club final party and CHELSEA'S BIRTHDAY!!!! Then Tuesday I'm ACTUALLY GOING TO FENCING because the club goes to Hell when we're not there!! And then Wednesday we hafta go to KMS, and then Senior Awards Night (but not missing karate) and then on Thursday we have...Social Security and then Rue Franklin! (yay!) Then Friday I hafta do my WWII project, Girl Scouts planning, and then Encampment for the weekend...:( then when I get home I need to finish my project and go to CYO. Then Monday I need to do some stuff and then go to my uncle's...and it keeps going...

Well...sometimes life just sucks and you hafta get used to it because you can't just curl up and die.
Last night my Grandfather--Leo A. Sweeney died peacefully at the ripe old age of 78. He had Alzheimer's for the past couple years and he wasn't getting better. He hasn't known me for years and he was getting progressively worse. My Grandmother was devoted to him to the very last and wouldn't put him in a nursing home. She's an amazing lady. Sometimes he didn't even know who she was. On Mother's Day he got pnemonia and was put in the hospital and Tuesday morning he had a stroke. My mom wasn't going to tell me until after the AP exams but then he was getting better and then they called again last night about 10 and said that he had passed away in his sleep. Most of the family had been with him, he recieved Last Rites twice (seems excessive for such an extremely religious man), they all said a rosary and then they sang "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow". My Grandpa loved to sing. He hasn't been able to sing for a long time, but I'm sure he's in Heaven singing up a storm making up for lost time---and my daddy's up there teasing him. My Grandpa really missed his parents (just like I miss my Daddy) and he's been trying to see them (going to the house he grew up in) more and more. My mom also had a sister who died when she was 4, Jeanette, who really needed her daddy. She needed her daddy like I need my Daddy.
Last night I freaked out. I couldn't sleep. I started flipping until I turned on the light and grabbed my daddy's wedding ring. I put it on and I was at peace. And I could sleep. My daddy was in my dream and as soon as I saw him I grabbed his hand, I could feel it, and I kissed him, but I couldn't feel it. He told me that he wasn't there with my physically but he was there with me and he always would be. In the dream he had walked into my room with my brother and was putting away my laundry, and I had freaked out. I miss my daddy. Oh God do I miss my daddy.
To add to the mood yesterday we heard from an amazing Holocaust survivor and I know I've been telling his stories all day, but I want to say the thing that he said that really touched me. The thing that I really needed to hear. He said, "Believe me, there is a God" and after all that he had been through, he still believed. And I know I haven't gone through anything like he has, and I'm not suggesting that for even one instant I doubted the presence of God, because I can feel and know God...I just really needed to hear that. And I thank God for that amazing man. Even though he survived the Holocaust and came to the United States where we...DRAFTED HIM AND FORCED HIM TO FIGHT IN THE KOREAN WAR. And not even in Korea...IN GERMANY. What a pigheaded country we live in. THIS MAN SURVIVED AUSHWITZ!!!!
Anyway. The gov exam was better then expected, but I'm expecting the economics one to be worse. Screw it because you know what? In the scheme of things it really doesn't matter.
There's something I've been meaning to ask of everyone who reads this. Do me a favor and right now, go up to your parents and everyone you love and tell them you love them and give them a great big hug because you know what? You really never know when its going to be the last time. My Grandpa was getting better, My Daddy was getting better...but its ok because they are both so happy and so healthy right now that I couldn't ask for anything. And someday many years from now I'm going to see them again and its going to be WONDERFUL. But until then I'm going to stay here and make them proud.
I was lucky. I thank God everyday for giving me the best Daddy anyone could ever dream of having. Everyday I thank God that my Daddy told me that he loved me, that he was proud of me, and that David and I were the best things that ever happened to him. I love my Daddy and he knows it. And I'm so lucky for that.
I don't know how many people know but the first day of spring break my mom moved out of my house. She and my Dad were going to seperate and my life (I thought) was really terrible. I would give anything in the world to go back two months for just an hour, but I can't and I'll just hafta wait. But God had a plan and my mom just so happened to be visiting us April 19th and my daddy was still alive when I came home from school, and until she was there to help me. My Daddy told me to go get the ambulence and show them which house it was, and then I said while squeezing his hand, "is there anything else I can do?" and he said, "Pray" and I will. I pray every night and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. He once told my mother that his biggest fear was dying alone, but he didn't. He died in my mother's arms and he told her "I love you" and they reconciled and then he saw the Light and he passed into another world. A world that is much better then ours where there is no sadness and no pain.
Now all that is left is for me to pray and to make him proud in everything I do.
Thank you God for my Daddy and for my Grandpa.
By the way, as my brother said, I hafta tell you about the Miracle Watch. My Daddy had two pieces of jewerlery that he always wore: his wedding ring which I got and his watch which David got. The watch stopped about the time my Daddy died, and David wore it anyway. My brother was a paulberer...however the heck you spell it! And during the funeral, when he was holding my Daddy...the watch started again. And it told the right time. Sidenote: some of the last words our Daddy said to my brother were "make sure you're in bed by one!" and now he has no excuse!!!! hahahaha. My Daddy's funny like that. :) I love my Daddy!
Second side note: when I told the watch story to my hairdresser, Maureen, today she said that on her birthday (the day she was born, which was also her parents anniversary) her father gave to her mother a clock. The clock stopped before Maureen could remember using it. Anyway, her father died when she was about 20, and she eventually inherited (or else the clock was hers, I forget) the clock and it started again...on her 40th birthday.
And that's all from here folks, I got a black dress to find and an exam to sleep for.
I love my Daddy and My Grandpa!
