Guess what?
I know something you don't know!
Well, unless you're one of the people who know it...
but I bet you aren't.
But I also bet you could guess it! Its kinda obvious. I'll give you a clue.
Its what you think it is--there's a new couple in town.
YAY!!!!!


Just one more craziness--Viva Summer 2004!
*I love my Daddy*

Well I got up early to drop my Grandma off at the airport and then to hang out with my boyfriend. Little did I know he was up really really late and is still asleep so I'm bored. I did my hair though. It looks sweet.
lesse...when did I last post? Monday? Oh yea. Ok well Monday night we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and that was a good time. We should hang out there more often--good idea Christina! Then we went over to Phil's to (what else?) play cards! Good times...except Mark and Phil keep picking on Liz!
Tuesday at noon we went to Starbucks with Ms. Widman because we're so cool like that. Actually Liz and I got bagels because we were hungry and then Christina got a sub and Ang was working and then Widdog treated us to Starbucks. She's awesome. You know what's not awesome and in fact really really gross?? When there are nasty pigeons that are really gross and won't move and that are probably still right there and even though Kim accidentally hit it with her cup it DIDN'T MOVE-ew ew ew ew ew!!!! Anyway, around 1:30-2, Christina wanted the group hairdressors to cut her hair so we went back to Kim's house (where else?) to cut her hair. We stopped by my house on the way and there were all these ambulences out front and I freaked out. My neighbor Mrs. Alt died...she was 91 and in great shape. She was a really cool lady. Her name was Goldie and her twin sister was Silvia I think. Her family's at her house now, sitting Shiva (sorry about the spelling) I think...her husband was the first person I ever knew with Alzheimers and he died a few years back. Its very sad. God Bless Mrs. Alt!
Then we went to Kim's and when Christina's hair was done she decided she wanted to dye it red--but first we wanted to go to KT's Grandpa's wake. God Bless Kt's Grandpa! Kt wasn't there but we met up with Phil Getman and Dan Bostaph who both looked very nice dressed up, and chatted with Kt's mom and found out that KT's Great-Uncle had also just died, so if everyone could keep Kt and her family in your prayers that would be much appreciated I think, thank you.
So then we went to Walgreens and kinda freaked out and we all decided to do our hair. Liz's hair turned out really well with red streaks, but when I tried to dye my tips green it really didn't work so I ended up just getting not-permanent blue streaks. Not permanent so that my Grandma didn't freak. She still freaked alittle, but its ok. We're cool now. Then we went to fencing. It was a new beginners class--there were oodles of them! Liz and I had to help Tom teach the intermediates the beat and then we had an epee tournament in the hall. Grandma and my mom came to watch. The epee tournament turned into an ironman one and Brian was being really mean to Liz and he was doing this stupid PeterFoxesque thing and then he fleched at her and she hit him and won and it was sweet! Then she fenced some more and continued to win until I dethroned her! hahahah! I love epee! I beat Martin and then Shawn (THIS week's his last!) beat me. Then we started sabre and it was scary so we left and went to Kt's Grandpa's wake again and this time my mom and Mark came with.
Then my mom made me go home and chat with my Grandma. She liked fencing.
Then I went back to Kim's house to watch "Stuck on Me". It was pretty stupid lol.
I think my favorite quotes of the day was
"Alright Mr. I'm-too-cool-to-stop-at-a-Green-Light" ~Liz.
Sometimes I don't pass the Economics exam and I get an 86 final average. Eat my shorts, Mr. Cornell!
Sometimes I miss a week of school and my GPA goes up to higher than its almost ever been. My CHOIR grade went up!!!!! woah, I don't even know what to say!
I wish Brian would call me. I called his house and Rob said he wasn't there so I called Luke and Luke said he was home asleep so I called his cell phone and it was off. Then Luke called and said he got home at 6. So I assume he's sleeping...WAKE UP!
Ok I'm done because this was pretty boring. Sorry about that. If it helps, my hair is blue...?

God Bless My Daddy!

So...I don't go to Kenmore West anymore.
I'm going to miss it a lot. I'm going to miss the community we have there, and knowing what's going on with everyone and knowing everyone around. That's not going to be cool. I'm going to miss gossip :( and Starbucks. And everything else. And I'm going to miss people who I won't see anymore. This stinks.
But anyway, we've spent the past couple days partying hard. Friday was an awesome party at Mang park for the 20 of us Cove people. It was a great time. Lots of food and a lot of great people showed up. Thanks for coming everyone, I hope you had a great time! That was fun though. We got into some crazy games of AP Keep the Ball Up with about 40 people and a huge ball Jay Goldstien and Meghan O'Connor brought. It was awesome. Also there was a very intense game of Red Rover--I would just like to say that I did not cheat running back to the good line-- I specifically went for Mike and Marie because I thought they were the toughest link and I knew they wouldn't let go. That morning we went in for the class picture and Liz and I spent the early morning buying lots of food. Then Brian, Liz, and I made food all afternoon before the party.
And now I'm going to link to KT's pictures from the party because I love her and I'm very sorry for her! We love you KT!!!!
Pictures of kickball by KT Those are awesome! Thanks KT!
I went home after the party because it was pretty tiring and I had to go home and clean my house after CERTAIN little boys (David, Greg Della Posta, Rich Kennedy, Adam "Elric" McCabe, Erik Kaufman, Joey Ostroff, James Irracci) who made my house into a very intense mess. I fell asleep on the couch instead.
Then I woke up Saturday in time to go with Liz to Andy Banchich's brunchparty which was pretty cool and there were people there we don't usually hang out with (Leah Rankin, Colin Griffin, Laura Bowen, Ellen Walthers, Liz Stancliff, Joe Sleap, and Chris Arnet) but it was fun and interesting. Then we went home and I went to pick up my Aunt Madeleine and Grandma at the airport. On the way home I was dropped off at Dan Bostaph's house which, of course, was fun, but I wasn't able to stay nearly as long as I would have liked because I hadta go home and clean. This time I actually did clean. Then my family made a brief stop at Elizabeth's party so I could see the man I will someday marry (besides Erik) and then I went home and finished cleaning my house.
Sunday we went to church in the morning and then we went to Graduation. Graduation was really nice, it was just so sad because a) I won't see these people again and b) my daddy wasn't there and I miss him. I mean, I know he was there in spirit but I REALLY missed him being there physically. I love you Daddy! Anyway, the ceremony wasn't as long as I would have guessed, and I had a pretty good seat. Choir sang "Seasons of Love" from Rent and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (the later sounded better than expected....except have I ever mentioned that certain people should not have been given solos if they can't sing? This should be a rule. If you can't sing, you don't get a solo and that's that! AKA certain peoples exboyfriends...) I didn't cry...I almost did twice, but I didn't let myself. I also counted the people in the class who I had never once seen or heard of before and I got 50 people even. Not bad for a class of 400! Brian gave me a rose at the end because he's awesome and I love him!! <3 then we set up a date to hang out with Ms. Widman because we're nerds.
Afterwards my family and some family friends came over for a party. It was nice, but they all pretty much randomly left at like, 8:45. And then at like 9 alot of my friends came over and scared the people who were left. Some people (my boyfriend) had spikey mohawks with pinwheels in them and by them I mean it. He's funny looking, but I like him :) anyway around 10 when my party ended we headed to Naomi's and then we went to Kim's where we hung out until about midnight.
I did well in the gift department. Favorites include my trip to Europe, a hair straightener, and over $1000....
Thank you everyone.
Congrats to all graduates! LONG LIVE THE CLASS OF 2004!! I LOVE YOU ALL!
And now onto Syracuse '08...yeesh.

God Bless Kt's Grandfather. I'm really sorry, Kt! I love you!! If you need anything at ALL don't hesitate to call because I'll be over any time you want or need to talk! I know how it feels--I know that people keep saying this but if there's anything I can do from feeding your pets to I don't know--anything at all! Just call me. Love you!

Today we hadta wake up EVEN earlier than yesterday and it was almost as stupid as choir. Hi, my name is Mr. Greco and even though you're "honors club" I'm too stupid to talk intellegently with you. He and Mr. Smith were having a power struggle which was kinda humerous except that it was stupid to even be there. Grab diploma with your left and shake with your right. Then sit there. Got it. Haha, Mr. Smith was trying to be funny and it was funny.

Then we went to Manhatten Bagels and that was cool. Then we went to Brian's and played Spoons (Markers) and Brian ended up winning, but I came in second! And he was being a jerk! Then we went to the mall all day looking for dresses. Then my mom picked me up and we did 1,000 errands and now I'm ready for my parties. lol. sweet.

Then (eventually) Brian and I went out for our anniversary! YAY!! Only 20 days late. lol, we're awesome. The girl at Frank's Sunny Italy was in love with Brian's hair then this old lady came up and asked to pet his head and asking him questions and groping him. It was great. He liked my shirts I gave him :) He gave me a BEAUTIFUL bracelet that matches my ring!! :) Its so pretty! Thank you---

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we went over to Luke's house and we played cards with Luke and Mia (Spades) and it was fun. Now I'm home early but I gotta get up early anyway to start doing stuff for the party and then we hafta go back for the picture (grrrrr)
ahh well.

There are stupid little boys at my house right now and its not cool. They're sleeping over and its a night I'm actually tired.
Anyway, I love my Daddy so much, and I miss him!!!!

Hahaa, I'm so glad we don't go to KenEast! Not only are there pickpockets there, but they have prom tomorrow (Dear Kenmore East, why not have your graduation on a random thursday? good idea, sincerly, me) and then they were supposed to have graduation rehersal the next day (dear East, good plan! you smell! sincerly, me)and plus their gowns are macaroni and cheese colored. haha. nice.
Katie LeFevre, we're going to party, alright? french-style because you're hot even though I hear you had a bonfire? lol.
Who DOESN'T love cleaning the house? But its cool because people call me and send me presents. Its not cool when my table bites me and I bleed and then I go on cleaning the table and the cloth turns BRIGHT RED and I'm like "OMG! My cuts making me BLEED to DEATH!" and then I realized there was just koolaid on the table. hahah. My mom freaked when I walked over to her like "look what cleaning does to me!" hahaha. that was funny.
Yesterday when I was cleaning Christina Kennedy called me and needed a girls day so we hung out and watched most of "Princess Diaries" and then made popcorn and ordered a pizza. It was fun. I'm glad she called. Then Kim called because Christina didn't want to walk over by herself but Kim wasn't there so Kim came over for like, 10 minutes. And Liz came over because I called her for a ride to fencing. Christina came to fencing and it was a party because we had Advanced Weapon Class outside for people who hate Joel (mostly party people: Brian, Liz, Chels, Dana, me, Lisa, Shawn, and I think that's it....plus Martin. He didn't shake my hand after our bout.) (Dear Martin, you're not really God's gift to sabre. Sincerly, me) Then since it was Shawn and our last class together til winter break we decided to go out to Starbucks and then Kim came to pick up her brother so she came with us. Then Mark, Christina, Kim and I went to my house to watch home movies. haha.
Quotes of the night: "Its like a homing pigeon--she's a pigeon and I was home" and "Love her into conformity" ~ Shawn talking about Duke. Hahahaa, I love you Duke. Will you Marry me? (Dear Duke, will you marry me? sincerly, me) (remember when Duke called Shawn a whore over the police radio?? BEST. STORY. EVER.
Cher les gens qui pense cet chose est bete,
je vous ecris parceque j'ai quelque chose a vous dire, j'ai du bonne nouvelles! J'ai un nouvelle chose! C'est une lettre de les gens je n'aime pas. J'espere que tu l'aime et si pas....meh, chacun a son gout!
Avec Amour,
Moi
hahaha. Anyway, today I woke up early :( to go to choir rehersal :( with Christina :) and it was as much fun as it sounds. But at least we gotta shoot down Mr. L and tell him we didn't want to have lunch as a choir (Dear Mr. Laduca, you could die and no one would really mind. so...DIE, sincerley, me...p.s. notice that we sang fine without Katie? I'm glad that she skipped when we all made the time to come...and she'll still get 100. You suck.) and then we went to Pizza Hut and since I was tming Kim for the last time in choir (RIP pocket vibrate) we invited her and Alex Moyer (who now owes me $5 and owes my brother $105) and then I went over to Brian's to play Spades even though I suck and Brian's awesome and then he went to the 5 hour course with Kim and Dana and I stayed with Lyndsey (I'm only dating Brian to get to her anyway--hey remember when we hung out and were fixing strawberries and Brian walked in and was like, hi? and when we were hanging out and we made him brownies that were white??) (I hope you feel better!) and then I went home to clean. yaaaay.
And now I hafta get up in the morning for rehersal...shoot. this is going to be so sad! I'm going to cry because I love Kenwest and graduation's going to be SOOOOOO sad...
...but there are enough parties this summer to probably keep me occupied...
memo: girls are going to have a princess party where we dress like princesses and watch movies of the like.
also, we need to go to the zoo.
also, I <3 Phil and I <3 Ang.
and um...I <3 Brian --tomorrow :)
and um, I love Kim Murphy--shout out!!
and....I don't want to go to graduation rehersal
and make sure you go to the parties, y'all!
and uh...I love my Daddy more than anything.

Peace. Love. Cheese. And Crackers.
(its baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack) FRUIT POWER!!

Alright all...its announcement time!
Yes, I never hafta go back to Dr. McDonald again, that's good and all but I have more announcements:

+SAM AND KRISTIN ARE GOING TO THE EMPIRE STATE GAMES!!! He's the best male epee person in WNY (duh) and she's miss junior olympics and is the best female sabre person (we'll gladly give her that title) but still, I'm really proud of them and we really need to call them and hang out some time and maybe they should just get married because they'll end up married anyway!

+JORDAN "the flute" Mr. Catholic Youth of the World is going to study forestry at Syracuse with the girl of his dreams whose name is NOT Amber, I was confused. Amber's another girl he loves. My bad.

+the book "Pure Love" by Jason Evert says "a better question to ask is this: 'who isn't hurt by premarital sex?'" Also, "Suppose the one you love asks you for a drink of water. In the kitchen there are 100 cups of water, 99 of them safe, and one of them poisoned. Do you take the risk of bringing her a drink, or do you let her remain thirsty until you can know--with certainty--that your choice for her will be safe? You might appear to be doing a loving act by granting her request, but it would be the act of an enemy."
And now for the CYO: "There are two key purposes of making love: union and procreation (bonding and babies)." and "petting" and of course, "Augustine's words still echo true, 17 centuries later. "I came inches away from losing my virginity at the age of 14, on a dark football field, with a guy I barely knew."
And a bonus: "Pornography trains the mind to cast off all responsibility for the sake of pleasure, forever keeping you adolescent. Referring to videos and literature as "adult" or to a strip joint as a "gentleman's club" could not be further from the truth. Women won't fine real men in either locale." hahaha shot down! by the crazys at WYD!! hahaha!

Anyway, yesterday was my last night as CYO president :( Thank you to everyone for making it such a wonderful year. Especially to the people with leadership positions, the people who actually came to stuff besides parties, Dominic for giving me all those rides, Janet for being awesome, My VP Liz, and Abby, Alex, Michelle, Paul, Laura, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, and uh everyone else that I'm too stupid to mention. I love you all! The party was really fun though.

Lesse, Saturday was Briana's party! yay Briana's awesome!! and then when we got too rowdy we went to Kim's house to play a murder mystery where it turns out we all wanted to kill the guy who was dead and he had killed the fiance (who I had loved) named Jem Glitters (he was a diamond person) so I tried to kill him by picking poisonous mushrooms and feeding them to him, but he died of a blunt force trauma to his head!!! After Erik killed him he threw the cooper's hammer in the cupboard where I was waiting so I took it and went after the guy but he wasn't there...he was already dead. Shot down me. I can't kill a guy!
Anyway, Monday after the party I went to Brian's and we played a fun new game of cards until 3 this morning...oops. Mark called me after work and said "let's go over to Brian's to play cards" and Brian's mom had called both me and Luke looking for Brian (he was in their basement) (they have an intercom) so I invited Luke! I SAW LUKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER!! WE ARE BEST FRIENDS! It was good seeing him again though. We kicked some major butt in the game though...although I guess the butt was our own. But we're better looking.
So I gotta clean the house.
And muse to myself that next year I'll be going to Syracuse with Jay Rizzo (he's coming to my party! yay!), Matt Miller, and Jordan. I think that's all there is to say.


I love my Daddy!

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU NEVER HAFTA GO TO THE ORTHODONTIST OFFICE EVER AGAIN....RAISE THEM HIGH...what's this?? My hand's going up!!!!! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
That's right folks, after only 8 short years of Dr. MacDonald's quack orthodontistry....

I AM DONE...FOREVER!

6 years of braces starting in 4th grade (I was second only to Peter Farmello in getting braces in Mrs. Noble's class), through years of not wearing night braces and rubber bands, through my hot retainer that looks like tigers with a scar on it...

I AM DONE!

And by God it feels good!
Better than leaving high school, that's for sure!



I love you Daddy.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!
I love you!!
I miss you very much...but I'm really happy that you're having a wonderful Father's Day with your Daddy who you haven't seen in a long time and who you missed just like I miss you.
I'll see you again, and until then I'll just get by by feeling you with me...I love you Daddy.
A lot.
And I miss you.
A lot.
~and I am ALWAYS going to be Daddy's Little Girl~
I love you!

Hi everyone!
I'd just like to say thank you to the best friends in the entire world---thank you so much for the flowers. You guys are amazing. I'm never going to forget you. I love you all sooooooo much! You're AMAZING!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Guess what??? You're never going to believe this but...ELRIC E-MAILED ME AND SAID I COULD VISIT HIM THIS SUMMER!!! Oh man!!!! We're best friends for life!!! I would love it if people wanted to write letters to him and then when I went to visit I could bring them and he would cry when he would remember how popular he is so if anyone wants to, please write letters to Elric before July 22nd and I'll hand deliver them!!
Salut
le Bac est bientot fini ( derniere epreuve Lundi a 8:30 )
tu peux venir avec ta famille le 29 ou le 30 juillet
je te renverrai un e-mail pour confirmer
desole pour la mort de ton pere

tu as le bonjour de toute ma famille

a bientot
Elric

He's a talker that Elric. Awwwwwww....I miss him!! I also got a letter from Maria who said I can come visit her too when I'm in Brussels (right before I go to Tourcoing), but she couldn't write much because she was on her way to another great adventure somewhere in Europe because she's awesome like that.

Yesterday we went to the drive in and it was pretty fun. Sorry to the people who didn't get invited...it wasn't my job to invite people and I think Mark really didn't call anyone...oooook....good job Mark! lol. Anyway I would say the highlight was either the fact that I actually saw a whole Harry Potter movie and I saw the actual resemblence between him and Elric (hahaha, Elric must be on my mind!!) or when Mark drove down the street with Mike on the front roof falling off....hahaha. I also liked the mint oreos and mountain dew.

The night before Brian and I went on a date and we went to see Stepford Wives. It was pretty good...Brian liked the nerd jokes lol. We saw Jane Uminski, Jay Goldstein, and Jess Ramsden at the movies and then we saw Colleen Beneck and Derek Smith and someone else walking home and it was funny because when I was trying to figure out if I'd ever had a class with Derek Smith before I realized that he had transferred into my E.S. class halfway through the year with Klimeck and Colleen had transferred into Brian's halfway thru the year!!! *laughter* Talk about a story to tell the grandkids!! hahaha I guess it was funnier at the time...actually at the time we recognized that it wasn't funny. Whatever.

Today was the first time I didn't set my alarm to wake up and I woke up at 3 because Marie's cell phone called me but I don't think Marie knows it did. Then I went to Subway to order a sub for the party, then Starbucks...mmm...then some family friends are over now because they read the obituaries everyday in Florida and since his cancer returned for the third time this year and he had chemo and couldn't come up for my dad's wake or funeral so they came up now. When Mark calls we're going to Briana's graduation party!

That's all folks!

I love you Daddy!!!!!!!!

And now the long awaited...

I love my Daddy! And Brian! And Camp Songs!!

Yea so tuesday I set my alarm for 10 and then promptly got all caught up on most of my stuff. That was good! For instance, I planned next year's schedule for Syracuse!! woot woot!! I have French, Calculus, Global Community and hopefully People and World Cultures. Four whole classes. That's right. Anyway after 12 hours of Syracuse junk, graduation invitations, and thank you notes I was ready to get out of the house so Mike (who is gross), Mark, Marie, Liz, and I went to see "Day After Tomorrow". It was really good....wow....it was really good but also really scary so go see it unless you don't like scary movies. It was...wow.
Wednesday Sarah, Liz, and Kim came over and we partied it up French-style! I <3 them. We also yearbooked it up and then we made a yummy lunch of chocolate milk, rice-a-roni, and maccaroni and cheese (what's with the roni?) and then everyone came over and we partied it up crazy style until late in the morning. I would say the highlight of the evening was kissing Mike...'s yearbook. hahhaa good times.
Oh! Random factoid of the day! Yesterday was also Greg Della Posta's birthday AND Greg Kaufman's birthday!! How wierd is that?? They have the same birthday!!! Could they be any more opposite?? Anyway. That was random!
Today I went to guitar, planned my trip to Europe, wrapped anniversary gifts, and later I'm looking for a date with a certain boyfriend of mine. lol.
This is my brother's away message:
Auto response from NemoomeN14217: If you were dinner, I'd be...preparing....you...
Hahaha, that's awesome. Way to go Dave!
In other news, who is this Yuri that signed my comments? Also...I think perhaps some people are not cool...
ok woot woot...Its time for dinner. This may win the useless post award of the day.
I love my daddy...and I'm not looking forward to Sunday.

IT WORKS!!! AND IT ONLY TOOK ME 100 hours!!!
(sorry they're so big)

The Boys

Me with people

Prom

I love Brian, my friends, my daddy, and the fact that I'm going to sleep now!

Yesterday was a good day. If my Daddy had been alive it would have been perfect, but as it is it was a very very good day.

It began with my very final exam--French. Oh man, that was rough. Actually it was quite enjoyable. There were three little stories with 5 questions each (one of which was on TristTON and Iseult!) TrisTON! Anyway, then there was an essay-I wrote about a person I admired, my daddy, and I made it funny and awesome and when I was checking the spelling of psychologie I came upon "Pregnancy: (animal) plein" and I was like "I wish to bring this to the attention of my teacher, because I am a nerd" and I finally saw Madame look up and I raised my hand and motioned her over and she came over and I innocently showed her it and she hit me!! ME!! Innocent me!! hahaha, it was awesome. So that was some good times, ending at 10, we walked around the school. (I only hafta go back for choir rehearsal and graduation honors club rehearsal now!) Then we left and went to Kim's where Liz, Kim, and I then went to pizza hut to get yelled at. Then we went to the Plaka for lunch and it was quite nice. Particularly since we didn't get yelled at. Then Brian still wasn't up to I went to Kim's to watch the movie where he gets his head shaved. Good times!
Then I went over to Brian's around 1 and it was really nice because we haven't spent much time alone together recently so it was very nice. I love you Brian! Then Liz called and said she was going to KMS with Bethany to see the old teachers and they needed the scare tactic. So we came along and visited some old teachers and it was very nice. They were minorly afraid of Brian, but all the kids liked it. If Mr. Illuzzi doesn't come to our graduation party then we're tracking him down and dragging him. Anyway then we went for ice cream and it was great to see Bethany again!
Then we went around for an hour getting ready to set up for the Dan Bostaph party which may have been one of the best parties ever. That was awesome. Why don't we party with Bostaphs more often? You can never have too much Bostaphs, that's what I always say! And for each Bostaph there's a lot of Bostaph!! Baby Dan Bostaph is really short all of a sudden...! Three brothers put together could amount to over 19ft. tall. Crazy Bostaphs!!
I think the highlights of the night were as follows:
+Carpetball
+The rain storm and the crazy boys playing out in the mud and the girls playing in the house the Bostaphs built.
+that intense game of truth or dare which consisted of the truth "who do you liiiiiike??" or the dare "I dare you to kiss a boooooy!!" (Note: this dare was multigender) Then it got crazier as the dares added "who's not your boyfriend" and "kiss a girl who's not your girlfriend" Let's just say that I kissed one boy and a completely other boy kissed me. Only one of whom was my boyfriend. It was pretty nuts. (And I was pretty surprised!)
+Dana grabbed a cup and went to the pool and said "I need some water to splash Stan and then she said "I LIED!" and threw it at the boys in the pool (playing an intense game of noodle hitting) so then Phillip Getman jumps out of the pool and lifts up Elizabeth and starts to dump her in the pool but she grabs the carpetball table and Phillip retreats to the pool only to come racing out with Dave Bostaph, so we thought they were both going to get Liz and there was no hope because Dave Bostaph is a Bostaph and henceforth, really big. (Mr. Stuhlmiller also talks about him--Schwann v. Charlotte-Mecklingberg!) but it turns out Dave Bostaph was really only defending Liz's honor and instead beat Phil Getman into a pulp and it was awesome.
Aww Bostaphs. Anyway thank you everyone (expecially Bostaphs) for such an awesome time!
Graduation PARTY: EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD IS INVITED TO A CRAZY PARTY FOR 20 PEOPLE ON FRIDAY JUNE 25 AFTER 2 PM IN MANG PARK. WE'VE RENTED OUT THE SHELTERS AND ITS GOING TO BE CRAZY SO MAKE SURE YOU AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW COME, OK?
However if you're in CYO then you're going to the party at the Seel's house and then my house on the 27th!!!
Be at one of those places or be square!!
Note to It: Both the two older Bostaphs mentioned you!! Big Ben Bostaph and I were discussing the theory that all Bostaphs must have a friend named Phil and then Phil Getman was being a jerk so I said "they must all be ugly too" (sorry, I just meant Phil Getman) and then Big Ben Bostaph said, "I don't know, Phil Rott's girlfriend likes him alot and they've been dating for like forever" and then Dave Bostaph said to me "what's with people in your class calling us by our full names? I don't mind, but why do you do it? You're not the only one in your class!" and I was like "Is the other one Margaret Topper?" and he was like "yea" and I was like wow, Margaret makes the Bostaphs, Bostaphs.

Anyway, I love my Daddy and I hafta do Syracuse stuff...NOW.

Yes, I know I'm sweet. Just because I instant message my French teacher the day before the exam to tell her I'm going to fail tomorrow and she says that she's scared for me and then we chat in French does not make me not sweet. It makes me really really mad sweet. And that's that.
Math exam on Friday went really sweet and I was excited. I think I did well. THANK YOU GOD FOR MR. WATSON aka the best math teacher ever!!!!
Then I hung out with Naomi and we worked on Graduation presents and then I went home and took a nap until Liz picked me up and we all went to Lazertron. There was an awesome new friend there who drew in highlighter on me and it was awesome! And then I showed the guy who worked there and then he jumped up on the pillar. hahaha, that was awesome. Then we went to IHOP. There is nothing like a midnight run to IHOP with Erik and Mark. IHOP is the reason Erik and I are getting married. Our wedding reception will be all pig meat (sorry Dana) and then we will sit there and laugh for 17,000 hours and the only word that we will be able to say will be "oink". Then we went to Phils to (what else?) play cards!
Then Saturday I was woken up early :( to go to the doctor's. Then I stopped at the Galleria looking for a rugby ball but then didn't have any so I went looking for a graduation dress and ended up just shopping for summer clothes and it was fun. Mike was there though, but he's the only boy brave enough to save us from that milipede so he's almost cool. The best part was when my mom and I got confused and thought we were in Old Navy and it was really the Gap. It was wierd because it really didn't look like the Old Navy at home!! Then I cleaned my room and Kim came over and we watched the Producers and then she left and I fell asleep and then I went to Marie's party. Fun times!
Sunday I went to Mass and I saw FC, the Seels, and the Johnsons (not the fake Johnsons like Mike's) and then I found out that Polska was in POLSKA (and not at St. Pauls like I thought) but he'll be back by July 1st so we'll go visit him in July, ok? Then I shopped some more with my mom and then I went to Allentown with a big group which kept getting bigger and then we saw other people and then I went to MY LAST CYO MEETING EVER!!! :( well...as a CYO member... :( it made me sad but there was a good showing and a beautiful cake and some yummy chocolate covered strawberries and it was fun.
Now I'm here. I was IMing Madame because I'm cool like that and she told me to go to bed. It made me alittle sad inside.
Sarit and I have a little motto. It goes: "At least my stomach didn't explode."
Today at Allentown there was a lady and she said "you can't go wrong with a little boy kissing a puppy" and we decided that doesn't really work because yes you can.
My favorite part of Allentown was that punks would walk up to Brian and be like "you're invited to my party" because he too, is a punk. A punk surrounded by preps, but a punk nonetheless. And four randoms walked up to him and said "I love your hair!!" hahaha, he loves it. And I love him!
Sometimes when I go to France I want to find a shirt with French on it, but I can't find any except a 30 Euro shirt in Belgium that says "Je suis unique du monde" and Kim buys it. Sometimes I hafta go home and 8 months later buy a shirt in Forever 21. I'm cool. I guess I gotta go back. Tant pis!
I kinda miss school. Its messed up that tomorrow's the last time I hafta go to KenWest. Its upsetting!! Those were some great times. Some of the very best. (ok so who cares if my best high school memories were France and Prom, niether of which technically occured at west...??) Anyway. So much love for West.
D'accord, d'accord Madame!!! C'est le temps pour moi de faire de dodo! J'ai un examan demain et je suis tres peur!!! ou....pas.
hahaha.
Dan Bostaph party tomorrow. Party and a half!!
I keep saying that. Why do I keep saying that?
ok sorry this was really boring. Comments would be appreciated?
Yesterday when I came in (ok so it was this morning...) my brother stuck his hand out from behind the door and I was like "Daddy!" but...then it wasn't....so I burst into tears once it struck me why it wasn't my Daddy. I didn't figure it out. I miss my Daddy like no one could ever imagine. He was my favorite person in the entire world...and I miss him....and I love him. And he misses me and he loves me more then anything in the world. But he's with me and I'm going to see him again. And I can't wait. But I will...
thank you everyone for everything. I love you all. Goodnight!

A very happy belated birthday shout out goes out to both LAURA SUTTON and SARIT!!! Both of whom I love very much even though I missed both of their birthdays!! This post is dedicated to them!!

Special note to Kevin McMahan: I'm not sure if you noticed but you suck and nobody likes you--NOBODY. And if you have any questions make sure to come talk to me and I'll fence you to death and you'll die because I hate you. Ok, thanks.

Special note to Elizabeth: YOU ROCK MY SOCKS!!! Ok, in case any of you were wondering Jeffrey Barber is a moron and Liz is awesome and broke up with him on Saturday and we all love her all the more!! (Because no one really liked him...or likes him now!) Aaww, he and Kevin McMahan should date! Just like Noah and Mr. LaDuca!! oh God!

Any now that that's over I would like to talk about this past weekend because it was probably the best weekend of my life. It was so much fun!! Ok so it started Friday morning when Marie drove us to school because people who weren't dating the editor in chief of the yearbook had to get their yearbooks and I had to get my little plate thingy. So it was also Brian and my one year anniversary!! yay!! but we're going out officially some other time (raise your hand if you believe it!) (no one?) so anyway then we signed yearbooks and then had senior breakfast and then we went up to the balcony to watch the senior slideshow which was pretty fun except that probably like 6 people total put in pictures because there were some from Kim and me and then like Dan Fisher and group and then like Brittney Lull had a few and then like Laura Bowen so it was cool anyway. Yay Mr. Jarosz! I bought a copy today. Anyway so then it was like 10 and we got back in Marie's car and left school (not in that order) and went home and did nails and then went to our hair appointments which was actually a lot of fun and we got our hair and make up done and we looked really pretty and it was awesome. Then we went to subway and Starbucks to get made fun of because we looked so awesome and we were buying sandwiches and frappuchinos. Anyway then we went home to get dressed and the girl scout troop and their dates came over and my aunt Michelle and the twins came over to take pictures. (Best part of my life was that Mark's mom didn't come because she was too busy taking pictures of Lindsey Catalano!! Shot down Mark.) Anyway the camera fest started and then we went to Jeff's house where we met the other people of the 22 that were in our limo and Kt and Graham and Kierstin and Nate Bell and Jessy. So we took pictures for about forever and then we got in the limo and went to Samuel's and it was awesome and everyone looked amazing and it was the most fun thing ever. It was great. Highlights of my night included the picture of me with Greg Kaufman and the MegaGroup photo session at 10 we took with 36 people (we could have had at least 50 but some people didn't go because they were watching the crowning I think. Aww Katie Sylves and Andy Staley!!) And of course Brian :) Anyway, prom was awesome. Then about midnight we finally got back into the limo (CUZ EARL HADTA DIE!!) and went to Niagara Falls for a series of awesome pictures then back to Kenmore West for post prom which wasn't as great as everyone had said it was going to be, but it was ok. Then we went back to Jeff's and got changed and headed up to Sherkston to Briana's aunt's cottage and that was awesome. Then we fell asleep and Dana and Stan and Jessy and Bill met us up there and we lost some people (like Mike, but also like Chels, Sco, Dave, Dan Bostaph, and Martha) but it was still a party. Saturday we had some awesome food because Mark's a great chef, some hot Wal-Mart shirts for the boys, a good time at the beach, pizza, Aladdin, doing nothing, having fun, pizza, and then the highlight of our day: the fireworks!!! and the sparklers!! And how we thought we were all going to die because...well...cuz they were fireworks. Aw, Canada and your liberal laws. And how our cell phones all died. Good times. And how we thought Marie, Mark, and Mike were all dead. After fireworks we went back into the cottage and watched "love actually" until we went to sleep. Then we had yummy food in the morning!! Hey, I'm a mushroom flipper!! Drowning! Drowning! In a pot of wine! Drowning! Drowning! Feeling mighty fine! Aww my song! And camp songs!! aww, my life!! Anyway we left sunday afternoon and we stopped at WalMart and bought me canadian socks so that I now have socks from the US, Canada, France, Belgium, and Spain. Awww, my international sock collection (and kinda from Mexico) so good times.
If you want to see Jessy Minney the wonderful's pictures of us before prom you can see them here: Jessy's pictures and you can see my dress AKA the love of my life.

So anyway. That was prom and it was amazing. I need to study for World War II but first I will say how incredibly sad I am about school ending. I can't believe this is the last day I will be going to school with these people. I love you all class of 2004!! I will miss pretty much every single one of you--we are the best class anyone's ever seen!! (if you read this holler back!!) I LOVE YOU!!!

Anyway, I also love my Daddy, my Grandpa, the class of 2004 and my wonderful Brian who I adore.

NEXT on KELLY'S BLOG...when good fencing schools go bad!! Stay tuned for further updates...


so anyway I haven't written for awhile because life's kinda been crazy. Not bad crazy like before, but nutty crazy. Perhaps after school ends I will go back and relive this entire month for you out there, my studio audience...but as for right now I'm avoiding reading Faulkner (worst book I have EVER read) and studying for Anatomy. Good times.

I would just like to mention alittle thing that happened today. A little tiny thing. Yo, so I'm sitting there in economics. Chilling like usual, mocking out Cornell's shiny shoes, etc. and I get a text message and I know its gotta be from Kim because she would and I think "yea its prolly 'pocket vibrate' because she would because she knows that always scares me. So I turn around and say "Kimberly!" And she looks at me and was like "yes?" and she was really scared and I was like "yes, pocket vibrate" and I go on with my life, right? So then Cornell finally goes off to Cornell land and he can't see me so I take out my phone, read my tm, and gasp, and start cough/choking and I turn around and say, "KIMBERLEY!!!!!!" Anyway...so that's my life...
I love you Kim, though...I'm very happy for you!! <3 <3!!!
(ps, you're cute!)

(Confidential to someone else: MONDAY!!!)

So thus is my life... I am so excited about prom. Its going to be so much fun and I'm really excited and I finally found a present for Brian (if I haven't mentioned it Friday's also our anniversary ) and that's sweet. Brian's cool except when I freak out at him and he's like "duh" and I'm like "HOW...WHAT?...gah I hate you!!" But I don't REALLY hate him (if anyone didn't notice).... hahaha.

Yearbooks are mad sweet...Brian you rock my world and you rocked the yearbook. I enjoyed Mr. Jensen's Ode to Brian in the end like "I love you Brian, you are amazing, you are by far the best person I have ever worked with and you are my God." And since Mr. J is Brian's best friend ever I get a yearbook because I'm on yearbook! Remember when I was on yearbook?? Yea, me too!!

Oh man, I just got my prom dress (Mrs. Kinney just finished it) and its sooo amazing and it is the love of my life and if I weren't marrying so many people already, and an airport, I would definetly marry it. I guess we'll just be in love.

Senior awards were hot. Did I mention them? Brian's physics nerd of the year, Liz is Bio nerd of the year, Kim's Air Force girl, Chelsea's German kid of the year, and I'm French kid of the year. woot woot!!

hahahaa plantwoman makes the yearbook. She hugged me today and told me "if only I had that body in real life" and I was like "yea, and you're not a superhero??"

speaking of sweet--Liz and me in Business First. I know we are.

Encampment, as defined by camp songs, Laura Bishop, Pam Burghardt and the smallest unit in camping history equals love. That was awesome. I'd say my proudest moment was coming home from camp hearing "DAM DAM DAM!!" in the front of the bus and knowing that I, Kelly Cooper, and Marie and Liz, taught them that. Awwwwww~ it was great.

I'm a little hunk of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in
I've got four wheels and a running board
I'm not a Chevy, I'm a Ford

Chorus:
Honk honk rattle rattle crash crash beep beep
Honk honk rattle rattle crash crash beep beep

COMING SOON--complete list of best camp songs ever created. I have the list, I just hafta type them in. Aw, my life.

And fencing--Joel...nobody likes you....please leave. NEWSFLASH:::::::::: hi, my name is Kelly, I've been fencing for 5 years. I personally was taught by THE greatest fencer in New York State, perhaps of all time. I fence by HIS rules and the way HE taught me to. I don't care who the hell you think you are because you're no Steve and I'm sure as heck not going to give up my excellent (hahaha) footwork to do your cruddy way? ok? you can go to hell! If my footwork wasn't working I think I would have figured out to do something different and your footwork is ugly. I know how to advance. I know how to retreat. And I sure as hell know how to lunge. So.....you suck.
p.s. if you don't know who Liz, me, Dana, and Chelsea are then you really shouldn't be teaching fencing in Buffalo and that's that.
p.p.s. congrats to Ben McCabe for receiving the most improved fencer's award!!

And in closing before I move on and do my homework:
and open letter to someone I hate:
Dear Billybob Faulkner
i hate you so much it makes me cry and I hope that you die because you smell really funny bad horrible gross and i hate you also you really suckity suck suck suck suck and i hate you with my heart which is (I remember now) as cold as the English brisk wind I used to play in as a child when my pet dog fluffy who was white fuzzy and effervecent) this is because you suck and (once there was a person who lived next door to me and he cut down the trees nearby and then he burned them in the backyard next to my house garage and I was up in the morning all alone by myself tout seule and I smelled smoke dark smokey infaliable and I ran quickly speedily down the stairs and through the living room and through the dining room and through the kitchen and down the stairs 1 2 3 4 and I opened the door and I saw my dog and the fire which was only coming from the wood and I forgot what happened next but Mary McGrath (I remember something now) asked me about it the next day) are a horrible person.
-Me.

On a not related note: I would do anything in the world and give up all this to have my daddy back with me. It still doesn't seem real. Oh. My. God. I love you Daddy. I miss you. I miss you every day of my life more then I can possibly say. I love you Daddy. I thank God everyday that you are so wonderful and that you are happy. I love you Daddy ~your little girl.
