H-A-doubleL-o-w-doubleE-N!
I love having friends come to visit!! Thank you Chrissy!!!!!

And congrats to Liz on her first fencing tournament---you ROCK HARD CORE!!!!! I'm jealous.

Saturday I worked the game--ORANGE BEAT UCONN. I think we MURDERED THEM. Anyway as soon as we finished SELLING BEER FOR OUR UNIVERSITY, which I do, Alana and I searched our campus for Chrissy and Beast!! We finally found them and we toured the ghetto (aka BB) and then we went to Marshall for Subway (Erik wasn't working) and then we dropped Beast off at Lawerinson and picked up Becca and went back to my room to hang out. It was fun. Then we picked up Alexis and went to the mall to shop!! yay for having a car!! yay for shopping!! I'm a ski nut!! "This is like going on a virtual shopping trip with all of your friends!"- Alana, because we kept pointing out clothes and being like "oh! you know who would wear this??? BRIANA!" or something. it was awesome. we gossiped and talked about olden times and crazyyyyy times. Victoria+ grand soiree....evil villan...good times. I bought some presents for people and then we got ice cream. Really big ice cream, which I eventually was able to spill all over. Then we met up with Jen, Meghan, and Vince and we went to see "Saw". Really. Scary. Kim and Liz are NEVER allowed to see this movie EVER. Ok so it wasn't really scary as it was like creepy. But it had a happy ending!! Right?? Right?? RIGHT??
Anyway we waited for the bus as a big group and then we (and by we I mean Chrissy) drove us back. Alana (or should I say...Elena?) didn't die even though she lives in BB. (or B&B as I call it) Then we came back here where Chrissy and I annoyed Becca by talking until 2:30...standard time. This morning we went to breakfast and church where we saw Mike Cornell *bursts into laughter...get it? Cuz they're DIFFERENT. by ALOT* and then we hung out and I showed her around campus...places I've never been before. We got free biscuits at KFC!! I love chicken and buscuits, but I can only wish that had happened when Dana was here. She loves them even more then I do.
Chrissy left...after some adventuring...and then I talked to Liz on the phone because she's awesome and then I did math and went to dinner with Alexis and Becca. And I saw Jay and he said they got an A- on their fencing video!! I'm upset about the minus. I might kill things.
I have a floor meeting and church tonight...i'm thinking we might sing some Halloween songs...

This is the lamest Halloween ever. I wish I was home with you guys, like I really enjoyed having Chrissy come and it was a superfun time, but it wasn't Halloween it was just a regular time and that makes me sad. Can we have a Halloween party when we get home? Please?

Also this weekend was sad because so many people were out of town. I missed Hong-Diem because I didn't have anyone to math gossip with and to do webworks with and to moan over my lost lover with. It was distressing. Um... I hate it when people go out of town.

(if you know what I mean.)

Zacceus was a wee little boy, a wee little boy was he! He climbed up in the sicamore tree for the Lord he wanted to see!
And as the Savior passed him by, He looked up in that tree, and said,
"Zacceus, you come down! Cuz I'm going to your house today. Cuz I'm going to your house today."

1...2..3...TRICK OR TREAT!
1...2...3...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Janet Seel's Personal Blog Entry:

She was my idol and hero as the President of the CYO. Then she retired and I got elected, but I could never replace her. She's too awesome. Luckily she kept coming back to visit. Oh Janet, what can I say to you? There are a few words that will truely summon everything back:
Jordan
Superman/Lois Lane
Francois
Bert
WYD
Popemobile
MY MARIA!!

I love you!! FREE HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Sarah Hyers' Awesome Personal Blog Entry:
Sarah Hyers is amazing and one of my favorite people in the world, even though she went to Kenmore East (East rhymes with loser). Sarah and I met at the car wash, but we really only got to know each other in FRANCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! And Belgium!! It was in France that I first found out that she (and the other Sarah) was a PICKPOCKET!!! CHIN YOU SARAH!!! Oh man, I love Sarah too much for words. We hang out and we are buddies even though we haven't been together that long, she's one of my awesomest friends!! She can always cheer me up and I love when she writes awesome stuff about me in her lj!! She's so sweet!! And we have so many inside jokes again I can't even list them but I think most of it can be summed up in the word: Elric.
I love you Sarah!!!

Dear Matt Finley,
I love you.
Respectfully yours,
Kelly Cooper

Dear Stephen King,

Stay out of my garden! I recognize that you've gotten tired of writing mediocre books and seeing them all get adapted into cinematic Ebola, but even "Cujo" was better than watching you strut around in a werewolf mask, stepping on my bell peppers. Next time you want to pull that shit, do it in the front yard. And don't park in the driveway. My girlfriend couldn't get her car out and she was late for work.

And could you stay out of the house while I'm trying to sleep? I'm not saying I don't appreciate you as an author, but Jesus, Mr. King, if you really feel the need to creep around my room, tongue-kiss my ears and continuously whisper, "Read 'The Tommy Knockers,'" could you do it before 11 p.m.? Some people have to wake up early.

Oh, by the way, I did read "The Tommy Knockers." What the fuck were you thinking?!

That reminds me, stop leaving those stupid mailbox messages on my answering machine. My mailbox is not haunted. You're stealing my mail. I watched you do it. We had a conversation! You said you were John Grisham and that you needed my mail as "evidence" for your next book. Remember that? And then I told you that I didn't think John Grisham would have a license plate that said STPHNKNG, and you threw the mail at me and ran away.

Dammit, Mr. King, do you know that in the last week, I've had to buy five jars of peanut butter because you keep eating it all? And if you are going to make sandwiches, at least have the decency to close the bread. Every time I open a new loaf, it gets stale within a day because you can't seem to operate a twisty. Also, you're crumby as hell. I mean, come on. I have napkins. The last thing I need is a whole bunch of pigeons in here.

I know you apologized and sent over a Barnes and Noble gift card, but the attached note said it bore a horrific curse. I can only assume the "curse" was that it only had $2.67 left, and when I tried to use it, it wouldn't scan because, according to the cashier, there were too many bite marks on the magnetic strip. Now, I'm sorry, but even for the guy who wrote "The Langoliers" that's a little over the top.

Oh, remember that time you hid in the bushes and tried to scare me by shouting, "I'm the clown from Stephen King's novel 'It.' I will kill you because that's what I do in Stephen King's book, 'It,' written by Stephen King?"

Well, those shrubs technically belong to Mr. Brentlaw next door, and, while I never got along with guy (between you and me, he's kind of an asshole), you did do a number on his hedges and it only seems fair that you pay to have them replaced. He's already been hounding me about my girlfriend's SUV. I don't want any more trouble. I mean, Christ, he's a convicted sex offender.

On top of all that, I had to replant all the squash and I'll be surprised if I get any decent peppers this season. You don't need to apologize. Just please don't do it again.

Respectfully Yours,
Matt Finley

This picture I stole from someone in the JohnKerry04 Lj community. This one is the reason people should vote for Kerry (JK...although in a beauty competition--or any competition--between that man and Dick Cheney??) And an ode to the hottest man in politics ever. I'm sorry for making you faint ladies (hahaha I almost wrote "feint" wow I'm a nerd)...

French midterm ruined my life. But I'll live. I always do. Unlike *sniff* Warren Harding....BEST. MOVIE. EVER.

I gossiped on the phone with my brother for a half hour today. I got a facebook message from Tim and I talked to Greg Kaufman online. Its been a crazy day. Greg got his nipple and ear pierced. And he gave away the zebra shirt and fur coat. Greg, I'm distressed.

There were a few good parts to my day too...but no one needs to hear about that. I have an awesome roommate and an awesome math partner. Just so you know. I was going to eat ice cream after dinner but then Hong-Diem, math genius, guilt tripped me so I got a bowl of carrots and actually tripped Steve. Good times. Then I went and watched a movie about the 2000 Election. I think that I shouldn't be allowed to do political things alone because I get really angry and I don't have people to vent with and it sucks. Someday if I ever die of a heart attack and there doesn't appear to be a reason its because Bush or Katherine Harris or something did something so incredibly stupid I couldn't handle it and I died.

5 days guys....we can do this. I got my assignment from the College Democrats leader today. I'm ready.

I am not ready for my test on the Sambia ...I guess I should study them and their homoerotic ways. (yes, you read that correctly)

An ode to my brother....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID BRISBANE COOPER!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, my baby brother is now....SIXTEEN YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??

It seems like only 16 years ago that I was in my grandmother's house waiting for the phone call to tell me if I had a baby brother or a baby sister. I had argued for months that it was going to be a sister, DAMNIT (not my exact words) while my father insisted it would be a boy. I have distinct memories of arguing about this. I also remember my Halloween that year consisted of wearing my costume in the halls of the hospital. Thanks alot DAVE! And also I was in my Grandma's house with my cousin who was telling me that there were ghosts upstairs and I got really scared and didn't want to go up there for like, the rest of my life. I still don't particularly like the upstairs of that house. But those are other issues I need to deal with. The point is that my baby brother was born 16 years ago today and now he can drive....OH MY GOD. I also remember 11 years ago last night when my crying baby brother came into my room and said he didn't want to leave preschool because he thought that after he turned 5 he would have to go to my school (Lindbergh) and he didn't want to leave!! awww, mon pauvre!

Do you like how I keep referring to him as my baby brother? Because he is, you know. I'm the OLDER one. Just so you know. Because people never figure that out when they see us together. People suck.

David: Al Doyle. That's all there is to say.

To everyone else: my brother is the funniest person I know--he takes after my Daddy. And you should all go to his lj and wish him a happy birthday:
Anyway, my brother is the best and I just wanted to say that I love him and that his father loves him very much and we're both really sorry we can't be with him today, but we're both there in spirit. One of us more then the other.

I MISS YOU and LOVE YOU, KIDDO!!!!!!


*All pictures stolen from David Patrick Cooper.

Thank you Blogger for finally deciding to work.

Another fencing rant...
But before I start with that I must say that I love getting mail! Especially random mail I wasn't expecting! Today I got a package from my Aunt Debbie with some socks, a Halloween card, some really old pictures of my parents (and one of me when I was little with my cousins), and some pictures of the Mark G. Cooper Mental Health Unit!!! I started crying. It was soooo sweet.

Anyway today was really nice because after French I came back here and slept until like noon and then I watched Lifetime TV until about 4 because I am a horrible person. Lifetime movies...thoughts anyone?

Then I went to the library de parler francais avec Maurri parce que nous avons notre examan orale de francais demain. Et nous devons MOURIR!!!!!!!!!! Gah, tant pis. There was a Japanese party next to us and when some of the kids left they rei-ed to each other. It was cool.

Anyway onto fencing... I have heard rumors that certain people have decided to leave Les Amis and go to Hell...oh, pardon. typo: The Buffalo Fencing Club. This upsets me because I used to like these people. (I used to like a lot of people who go there now. And I hate a lot of people who go there now.) Anyway, this upsets me a lot and I want to go back there right now and kick some butt...so....you guys can tell Scott and Amanda that I'm very disappointed in them? Thanks. Anyway I really miss Les Amis and by this I mean "old school Les Amis" with the Cute Team, and the Not-So-Cute Team and the Anti-Cute Team (I don't really miss that as much...) and the Blue and Red teams and the other randoms. And the days of the bunny hopping adventures and happy tuesdays and Brian the superhero and Steve making fun of Kevin's pants (haha, slut) and mixing up Tom and John even though there was no reason and the gym and Adam and Sam and Kevin and Ciara and us (of course) and BOTH the Sovas and Matt (remember when we babysat for him??) and the bonfire at Kevins' and the Cute Team t-shirts and all the fencing sayings, Oh man, and Peter Fox and how we would go out in the hall for like 21 point bouts and disappear for like the whole class and he would just be like, switching hands and scoring 1000 points on me? and covering my math book with fencing quotes like "stop thinking about where you're hitting me!" and "daisys are violent!" and "if you were any closer you'd be married" and "your foot's in Jersey City" and "BEND YOUR KNEES" (aw, Adam's knees are hot) and "POMMEL IN THE WRIST!" like sitting in the room and since we were advanced not having to do anything (like when it was just the teenagers) and Kristin and Duane and the fencing shows we put on and Steve. Oh man, remember when Linda thought we were going to marry Peter Fox and we were like "um, how about not?" and when Elric came and fenced Dan and Sam and was really good and we couldn't figure out why he existed but it was really just messed up because it was our first time without Steve? And our awesome website with our wonderful webmistress who I miss alot :) and the time I made that pillow for Brian? and he probably still has it? And the time when Dana told Ian that her Grandfather had been to Japan too so did they know each other?? And then they dated. Remember when Adam said he was coming back and he never did? And then Kevin like, moved to France? We should visit him. And then of course the intenseness of the civil (not so civil) war and that meeting and hating Kevin McMahan and Evil Twin and Joel and that other guy...Rich? And when I was teaching foil and I enjoyed kicking Greg's feet and yelling at him? (Oh wait, I still do!) And the spikes on Kevin's shoes and "why do we need electric equipment, we could just plug Kevin in" aww WE'RE CUTE BECAUSE WE SAY SO (say we are!) and WE'RE SUPERMODELS WITHOUT THE MODEL PART (and everyone was jealous and the number one rule was that Dana couldn't be on the Cute Team) and that time I took a picture and Peter Fox put his arm around Liz and it was tramatizing for LIFE?? And all the amazing times out in the hall at the community center-- "Brian wanted to have us run in there and attack the beginners, but I stopped him" and "Brian I'm on Allegra" and the time Brian was arrested and had to spend the night with a murderer?? And we told him we had a file on him and he was scared and he lives near Bocces Pizza? I miss him! And when Sam and Kristin dated and we went on their first date with them to heckle Mr. Jarosz? And when we found out Sam and Mr. J knew each other!?! And hated each other?? And Mr. J would always tell me to cut off the rattail, but who doesn't love the rattail?? Awww, I miss Sam. And then the other Brian joined and then he like took over the club and like is the undefeated champion there now? And Shawn joined? and we hang out with him and Duke at Starbucks?? BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE: *over the Buffalo police radio* "Shawnyoureaslut" oh Duke, I love you!! That was AMAZING. And then every time we went to Starbucks we would freak out whenever a police car would come and then the one time he was going to drive us home but Kim's mom came? And the time that Steve was out on the porch and looked in and it was the SCARIEST THING EVER????? And when the kid in the elevator thought he was Santa?? And he was God's older brother?! OH MY GOD I MISS HIM.

*sigh* I love fencing.

Tonight I went down to fencing and Mike Cornell *hahahaha* and Greg were there and Greg was like "Kelly! There are PEOPLE IN THE ROOM!" and I looked and there were DANCERS!! It was so scary!! So we snuck in the back room and were confused and so I decided to go to the bathroom but there weren't any doors on the stalls and its a co-ed bathroom so I went upstairs and they were like "tell Mike we're here if you see him" but then I didn't see him because he wasn't in the girls bathroom. So I got downstairs and Dave and George have come but the dancers are gone. Apparently Mike Cornell (hahahaha) ran at them with weapons. Methinks this isn't true, but it would be funny. So I couldn't fence until Mike got there because I didn't have my stuff so Mike Cornell (hahaha) and I taught Dave some fencing. Now, Mike Cornell (hee hee) and I get along because we are epee buddies but he's very...uh...competative fencing and that's different from me...so I think we confused Dave good. Then Mike got there and Mike Cornell (get it??? His name's like Mr. Cornell's--but he's REALLY NOT!) had to leave so then I did foil with Matt (who also came) and I really hate left handed fencers--no offense to them. Then I fenced Mike and uhhh...it turns out I can't fence. No big surprise. I really need to work on it though. But I did much better by the end. Word. -->fencing is more important then baseball--always<---
incase you didn't know... anyway its late and I have our oral tomorrow!!!
Bonsoir tout!!

Je n'ai pas fait au centre commercial, parce que c'etait trop serre

I highly advise to all of you in French class to write the above sentence in a paper and hand it to your French teacher! I promise that your teacher will enjoy it!

"Pizza Hut has conquored Communism"~Professor Rupert.
I was excited because today we got to talk about the McDonaldization of the world in Global Community and that's something I know something about....yea France! (Charles and I collaborated on an example because we're sweet and both from Zimbabwae except for me)

Last night in church we found a book of Disney Princess music and we were rocking out to it while people came in but then Julia yelled at us :( she told us we could play it after mass but we didn't feel like it THEN. Last night Mass was really fun though because we played some songs I really like that I can particularly ROCK OUT to on my guitar which makes me happy. Maybe my mom will send me my guitar music soon??? There were a lot of people at church I knew last night which was cool including my fellow IR major Steven Cooper and Jay (the co-director/Flint RA) anyway...Disney Princesses are cool.

Today we started a new unit in World People and Cultures which is nice because I'm not embarrased to be reading the book anymore...and this unit should include much less porn. (Note the word "less")

Professor Doerr was back today--no crazy Germans and we spent the entire class period doing ONE PROBLEM and now we hafta do all this other stuff tonight and she never calls on Hong-Diem but I nodded my head so she called on me.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE CALC!

In honor of calc I have decided to make a list (a la Greg Della Posta) of things I hate:
CALC
Professors who stalk me
early morning classes
early mornings
people who do not use their turn signals while driving
people who ride their bikes near where I'm driving
people who drive near me when I'm driving
driving
being far away from my friends
Mike Helwig and his away messages
classes and homework
not having fencing in like a week
George W. Bush
Dick Cheney
the loss of civil rights
the Patriot Act
War
and above all....UNDECIDED VOTERS!!!!!! GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST PICK A FREAKING CANDIDATE??? ITS NOT REALLY THAT HARD! MAYBE YOU COULD FIND THE TIME TO READ ANYTHING AT ALL I MEAN EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE IN REPUB IDEALS AND WANT TO VOTE FOR HIM THEN THAT'S OK (I guess) AS LONG AS YOU HAVE AN OPINION! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST CHOSE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE?? YOU HAVE A WEEK!!!!!!!!!! GAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

*sometimes I read the NY Times and drink a lot of coffee have no place to vent. I apologize.*

um....there's a lot of hatred around here.... if you know what I mean. :)
(and if you don't then too bad)

Sooo my weekend was LOVELY.

I took the taxi to the airport and was distraught that Steve didn't pick me up--the other guy did cuz Steve had the day off. The lady at the airport was like "New York's going to be really busy later, do you want to take the one right now instead of in an hour?" and I was like "um, k" so I took the tiny little plane right then. I was chosen as a seeming terrorist and patted down. They went through my bags and made fun of my April Bunny :( just because she's not in the best shape. You suck. My Uncle Joe picked me up at the airport with the girls and when we got home he made me a drink. haha, I love my Uncle Joe. Then the girls went to bed and I watched tv until my Aunt Madeleine (my favorite aunt) came home. We hung out and had tea. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lovely.

The next morning my aunt, cousin, and I went to my cousin Diana's Confirmation. (CONGRATS AGAIN DIANA!) Anyway the best part could have been when I walked in and just sat down with them and my family was like "who is...that Kelly???" hahah SURPRISE!! Or else when the Bishop said that the girls were all really beautiful but the guys were all ugly and they should remember that their mothers love them? So random!

Then we went back to Diana's and I hung out with my aunts and uncles. Making fun of Dutch people is good fun, as seen in this true example:
Suzy: I've met 3 random Dutch people since I've been here!
Uncle: it used to be full of Dutch people, until the British kicked them out.
Other Aunt: yea, New Amsterdam!
Suzy: I wonder what happened? Did they get paid well for it?
Uncle: no, I think the Brits just showed up with a couple guns and said "get out"
Other Uncle: and they just left??
Another Aunt: That's the Dutch way!
Suzy: that's what I would have done!
(get it? because she's DUTCH!)
Or how about this?
Suzy: Richie knows a lot more Dutch then he lets on. Like, he knows "Flicker Zee ott" it means...
Everyone: I think we know what it means!
(its a cognante...Dutch is not a real language...and its even MORE of a real language then Flemish)

RANDOM DUTCH FACT: The Dutch Santa Clouse doesn't live in the North Pole--he lives in Spain! And he doesn't have elves--he has little black kids!!!

Thank you Dutch people for being more random (and horrible) for words.

Then since my 8 year old cousin is reading "Titanic" we rented the movie and watched it. God, its AWFUL. AWFUL!! (yes Liz, I know you've still never seen it)Bridget sat in my lap the whole time cuz she's the baby, but was tramatized about the death (we covered some scenes) and we ate pizza. I MISS BUFFALO PIZZA.

Does anyone remember when car phones were cool?? And rich people had them?? And we were all like "we don't need those, we have one at home!! When did they become so big and stupid?

Saturday Night Live = Comedy Gold.

Alexis just said "I have no lost my marching-band watching virginity"

This morning Bridget woke me up saying "Remember when the captain died? THAT WAS SO SAD!" then I took the train back here and then did math all afternoon. God, it was so great to be around my family this weekend. No matter how random and funny it was. I feel so grown up traveling by myself.

I MISS YOU GUYS AND LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

(sometimes there are people in silly marching band uniforms in my room)

off to church I go!! yay for hour and a half long 9:30 masses...

Happy National Space Day!!
So today math class was even scarier then usual--and Professor Doerr wasn't even there! I walked in late (Prof. Rupert let us out late) and there was this CRAZY German guy teaching. I couldn't understand anything he said!! It was awful! Here is an actual transcript of our class today:

Crazy German: laeinon wehoinf oihknl ioniw derivative knli ksen oinlkw ompo ikilledprofdoerrandateher, ja?
Class: *terrified, open mouthed* *nodding* yes?
Crazy German: OF COURSE JA!!! aeoin kinoinw oinlkni einown?
Class: *dead silence*
Crazy German: nflinwkn oianwl klanien haionw if I took off my glasses it says to me we would be the highest person on the hill, ja?
Class: yes?
Crazy German: *takes off glasses* TALLEST PERSON HERE! Now, 2x^2+3x....-3...for...for...
Paul Kenline: for kicks?
Crazy German: JA JUST FOR KICKS!
Class: *nervous laughter*
Me: PLEASE DON'T KILL US!

it was intense. I was crying. I have no idea what he taught, it was awful. It was so scary!!

Anywho, I'm heading off to visit my family in the NYC area tonight and I'll be back Sunday. Soo, have a great weekend you guys!
I'll talk to you sooooon!!

Dear Dana, Liz, and Kim--I hate you guys very much. And by "hate" I mean "love"......what????

Tomorrow is Elric's birthday!! (his name means "The All Powerful" in German) He's going to be 18!!! Oh, my dear French boy!! Let's go celebrate there! Who's for it??

Tomorrow is also Jen Rook's birthday--HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN ROOK!!

"Space Day Fact! Did you know that I used to think that "space" was Latin for "cool" but then someone told me that it wasn't so then I got a time machine and went back in time and told the Latins that it should be and they said no so I left and it still isn't?
"Hey Kids! Put this Space Day joke in your (figurative) pipe and (metaphorically) smoke it!
"Why did the astronaut go to hell?
"BECAUSE HE USED BIRTH CONTROL."
~Matt Finley, Syracuse Daily Orange <3

Are you jealous of people like Laura who seem to be so insanely cool that they have an ENTIRE blog post about them??

Do YOU want to be like her (and the others whose are on the 18th--updated recently)?
If this is true then you can sign the comments RIGHT HERE and I guarentee a whole blog entry dedicated JUST TO YOU!

Can you imagine?? Its true. It may take a few days, but its worth it!!

(please note: if you already have one this month then you don't get another one. I may say I have millions of things to say to you but...its a lie.) (not really, I'm just sick of you) (not really) (its just that you're already THIS cool that you can't HANDLE another!)

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS FOR A BLOG ENTRY ABOUT YOUUU!!!
(I love and miss you allllllll!!)

Laura SUTTTON!!!! is the coolest and sweetest girl!! She goes to KENWEST!! And we met a few years ago at ST ANDREWS CYO!! Always one of my favorite CYO members, and one of my best informants of recent CRAZINESS going on....including her new BOYFRIEND!?!? oh man, Laura you deserve nothing but happiness! You are so great!! Keep commenting and keep updating LJ!!! I miss you!!! Enjoy high school!! I wish I was still there!! YOU ROCK!! Hmmm, there's a lot to say but I think a lot of it will be easily summed up in the sayings: CONVENTION!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man!! "DEM BONES" and Mike Postals and FC killing Ed Argi, POLSKA, and it alll.....
you rock Laura! ITS ALL ABOUT THE FOOD!

Ok so I just finished filling out my absentee ballot and it felt darn good. I just had a couple of things to say...and not even about what you think I'm going to say (because that's a given) but about the less publicized races...

So I got a letter from Judge Deborah Haendiges of the Erie County Family Court. It seems she would be honored to have my vote and she's trying to gain my support. Then she signs her name and underneath it says
"The ONLY Family Court Judge on the ballot this year"
does this strike anyone else as odd? It made me so angry I would have voted against her...if there had been an opponent running!!!!!

Also my mom called and said I got a letter from a state senator saying that they really wanted my support while I voted from my ABSENTEE BALLOT. She sent this to my HOUSE. Ok, so I understand that some people might need absentee ballots at home, but if these other candidates are able to get my dorm address then why the hell can't she?? She does not deserve to represent me where ever the hell she wants to represent me.

Mary Lou Rath also wanted me to vote for her, but she's a Republican...and no offense to any Republicans but I decided to look up Frank J. Longo to find out how he feels about life. Turns out he lives on Elmwood in Kenmore and is a Democrat!! And Mary Lou Rath thinks our economy's really great. So guess which way I voted?

oh yes, and...

VOTE FOR JOHN KERRY AND JOHN EDWARDS!!!

But most importantly please vote. Thank you!

p.s. words cannot express how deep my hatred is for calculus 295. or George W. Bush.

that is all.
for now.

Raise your hand if you care about baseball!!!!
oh wait, no one. My bad. (My apologies to those of you who actually do) My daddy bought me a book when I was little where you put your picture in the back and then you end up beating the Oakland A's in a baseball game. And yes, I was a NY Yankee. I wanted to be a baseball player and I played t-ball and stuff with Kidsplay...but then I found out I couldn't play professionally, my hopes were dashed, and I never cared about baseball again. Sad story, I know. I mean sure, Bisons baseball with my family, but it doesn't count.

Anyway last night I went to the GSA with Stephen. I knew about 2 other people there? Out of 20? Stephen was really excited about the turnout because he was expecting like, 4 people. I wore my rainbow socks from London accidently (I didn't think about it in the morning) but its all good. For the first time all day I wasn't the only one wearing rainbow socks. Chrissy brought me those back from London. She's cool!!

I wore a skirt yesterday and the problem was I have these HUGE fencing bruises on my thigh and like 3 randoms were like "OH MY GOD! what happened???" and I was like "uhhhh, its ok" and I looked really bad. Ah well. I wore a sweatshirt so they didn't see my arm bruises. haha, I'm so abused.

Today French wasn't fun and then I worked on my global community paper all day. It was as fun as it sounds. If you need to ever know something about the economic side to globalization? I guess you could ask me if you wanted. Then Hong-Diem and I attempted to finish our stupid webworks because the crazy professor finally decided to email us back but she lied to us so we still couldn't get it and then it was after 8 and I was missing fencing and freaking out and then she FINALLY replied and was like "oh, I misread it, you did THIS wrong instead" and so I killed her. Not really.

Then I ran down to fencing and I got made fun of because I was late. Then I made fun of them. Making fun of people = fencing. Then I had the worst choice ever in front of me--footwork with Dave, Matt, and Mike or sabre with Jason. It was awful!! I mean I don't know either....but I really did used to know footwork so I *sigh* brought myself down a couple levels and did sabre. Ew. Sometimes I really don't know how to fence. Sometimes I really hate fleching and drunken fencing and sabre as a whole. Sometimes Jason knows that I hate these things and does them alot. Then I got to fence Mike in epee except Jason was directing and commentating so it wasn't exactly fair. Oh well, at least it wasn't sabre.

In other words, the dirty dragon looks like it has leperacy.
In other words, that sounds like a code. If you know what I mean.
What I mean is I really need to shower because I was too close to sabrists for my own good.

That is all.

Naomi Reden is sooooo cool!! She probably did the best of any of us of just going to college and making a million friends!! She knows what's up though---there are MANY wrong ways to eat Reeses!! Today in the school paper there was a cartoon saying that there was no wrong way to eat a Reeses, but that is a FLAMING lie. Naomi lives in Boston, which also houses Liz, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, American History, and the Red Sox. Naomi's cool because she doesn't care about baseball either!! Naomi and I have known each other since foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever back in NORTHMORE NURSARY SCHOOL!! what what?? Also GT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 and then we met again in Mr. Schultz's (wow...) Technology Homeroom and she was one of my first new middle school friends--TEAM 7!!!! Mr. STROM!! Oh man, there have been too many crazy times! Especially in Rock and Roll camp after 6th grade!!! THE METEORS AND THE COMETTES!!! Can you believe how old school THAT is?? Rock and Roll hall of fame...the song we wrote, and rocked... oh man....oh MAN. Fruit friends...how you doin'????????
Naomi rocks! I love you!

Kim McCabe is the cutest, best, sweetest, and most innocent person ever and I love her to death!! I am Kim's bodyguard and she wins because she wins the award of PERSON WHO HAS VISITED ME THE MOST at Su!! She's so sweet and so awesome and I can't even handle how cute she is!!! There (again) have been TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many awesome things to talk about...I met her in Mrs. Mydzian's team 7B class alongside Christina Kennedy. Kim was the shy, BRILLIENT neighbor aross the street. Christina and I scared Kim. I think we still do. Sometimes Kim doesn't understand things and she gets really confused when people say bad things, but then I tell her not to listen!! And to cover her face!!! And sometimes we're in FRANCE and there are offensive billboards and we hafta protect her. Oh dear...FRANCE WAS AMAZING AND THERE's NOTHING I CAN SAY TO PORTRAY HOW AWESOME IT WAS. Kim has been one of my friends since 6th grade and we've gotten to be better friends and then FRANCE MADE US BEST FRIENDS FOR LIFE!!!!! Oh man, should I go into awesome quotes?? well, Belgium, Bruges (those aren't quotes, those are places/ that's not the government homework, that's a pair of socks.)
Kim, Twirp, spelling bee champion and #3 (SHOULD BE VALEVICTORIAN!)in our class--
I can't go into all the amazing quotes and everything in the world, just know that I LOVE YOU! and...you're really CUTE!!
"pocket vibrate"
"oh look, Olivier's birthday's coming up!"
"WHERE ARE THE LLAMAS!"
"Kim, what did I tell you about correcting me in public?"
"hi, I have a story to tell you. Its called I'm dating Alex Moyer"

:0

Elizabeth "liz" Christian is the coolest person ever. First off she's a really big slut. Second of all, she's a whore (well, a Madame really). Third of all, she's been my best friend for 13 years and she's stupidME! She's not a full month older than me!!!!!!!!! Only...30 days, 23 hours and 45 minutes!!! BooYA! Ok, we've had too many good times. France. Girl Scouts. Fencing. The Cute Team. Encampments, Belgium! Joe. Your cousin. Erie County Chorus. Chorus homerooms. WWII Veteren Dolphin. Getting almost hit by that snow plow. Getting jumped. Christmas Carols. Music lessons. Mrs. Noble's 4th grade class and THE STORY. Climbing on the tree in your backyard! the GAME. Sleepovers. Barbs. Ape...hahahaha....Dinners after GSs. Greek Festivals. Not knowing what you're getting for your birthday. Not fighting ever for 13 years. Walking to and from school forever. Moving to live closer to me. Starbucks. AP Bio flashcards! The tea with honey in it! Early Morning Lab. All the secrets we keep from each other. hahhaa. Fencing people thinking we're sisters. The worst project day ever in freshmen year. Everything else. Liz is the nicest and best person ever and she's like a sister to me. I miss her so much and she's just amazing. She's really cool and we're like the same person except she's cooler and we always know and do the same thing because we've spent WAY too much time around each other throughout our lives.
Dizzzzzzzzz, I have a friend named JOHN!!

Dana Kunkel is the coolest person ever. She lives in North Carolina because she really likes the South. She especially likes the food. She has a really hot bod. Actually, I would say that she has a rockin' bod. She's the best artist and the world and she also has amazing people skills. When people say "people skills" I think Dana. And then I laugh. Mostly because Dana's one of the funniest people I know. Funny looking!!! Just kidding. Or am I?? Dana can make friends every where she goes. For instance, there's always a cage for her in France in Elric's basement. Dana also is really smart. She knows a lot of stuff about a lot of things. Especially sex. She's like, the person in the group to go to if you don't understand something. Unless Kim doesn't, then Kim comes to me and I tell her not to ever listen to Dana except for sometimes. People always remember Dana. ALWAYS. Like the people at Manhatten Bagel!! And Elric. I was like "you remember Dana" and he almost cried (that happens a lot when I talk to him). Also, I seem to remember something from 11th grade? Oh YEA! She's Jewish!! Since Herb's long gone I'll tell you. Dana: you're Jewish. Some of the best parts of my life include Dana saying completely awesome things like turning to Ms. Leuchner one of the last days of AP Bio and saying "wait, do sperm have flagella?" or trying to convince her that I don't have a phospholipid bilayer.
Anyway, there is way too much to say so all you need to know is that I love Dana so much and she's the coolest person ever.

I would just like to say, in case you didn't know, that Kim's parents are the coolest and best people in the world and I would like them to adopt me. They rule, and Barb is the best cook EVER.
So my aunt Michelle and the twins came up Saturday to take us to Wegmans!! I got a baguette and brie and it was yummy! They also brought me apples and food and took pictures which I'll post for you guys someday. Maybe. Then I played the 5:00 mass--just me and some singers.
Sometimes I wish I knew how to play guitar.
Likewise, sometimes I wish I knew how to fence.
Saturday we had fencing--just Mike, Jason, and me and then we ended up talking for an hour about club improvement. It was pretty funny. We also had fencing Sunday morning where LOTS of people showed up and I wasn't the only epeeist There was an epeeist there named...Mike Cornell....wow...but NOT the same one!! He kind of reminds me of a mix between Scott Ordway and Matt (Cute Team Matt) and he helped me argue with Jason and it was goood times. I was happy. Now I can only hope they keep coming because otherwise I'll get killed. We had a meeting about improving the club, fundraising, and going to tournaments. I'm excited. I love fencing.
Sometimes I look abused though.
After fencing I pretended to do homework, but I really just booked a trip to NY for the weekend. yay!! Then we went to the floor meeting--Stephen was like "my favorites are here!" Oh yea and I talked to Jay in the dinner line and he was like "you need something to do" and I was like "all I do all weekend is sit around and eat tortillas" (Jay was the co-director of the fencing movie and he's an RA in Flint. He knows Iwana, but not Stephen.) Stephen said he's drive us to GSA today if we wanted to go because he really wants people to go. I think I'll go because Stephen's our best friend.
Professor Doerr might be dead...so we had the Amish guy again!! yay!! She's probably not dead...but if she's not then why have I not gotten an email from her ALL WEEKEND? I'm almost worried. Almost.
Then I went to band practice and played mass again.
Today I had a writers workshop for our global community paper which I really need to do. As soon as I'm done I'll write those personal entries. I swear!!
I hope you're all well!
I was trying to figure out when the last time I went to NY was and I was like "January?" and Becca's like "I'VE been there more recently then you have!" and then I was like "welllll, I've been to Paris and London (and Amsterdam, and Lille, and Dublin) more recently then NY" and she was like "I've been to Austria more recently then you" so shot down me. But then I figured out it was a lie because I went to NY for my Grandpa's funeral in May. gah. That was back on my funeral kick--I'm glad I'm off of that...but Sydney (Brian's dog) died this week and now I'm sad. Syd was a good doggie. Remember the times when she didn't bark at me?? aww. Remember when Brian had a pet pig??? Why did we not know this when we were younger?? I blame Erik Grant.
Although I do love Erik Grant!! OINK!!!!! :) hee hee, pig! oink!!! wow. did we not get that before?? hahaha
Um, this was pointless wasn't it? Sorry!
Sometimes I get emails in French from Italian girls who I met in Belgium! Yay Maria's cousin Sylvia!!
ALSO!!!! In case you were wondering, today I sent out a birthday card to Elric from his "American Harim"--so, if that's you, then you said happy birthday to Elric. He's going to be 18 on Saturday!!! awww!!! Remember when I was in France and his mom and I was trying to explain to his family that he had a fan club of american girls and no one believed us? And then his mom called it a "harim" which is a cognate and his little brother was like "What's a 'harim"? and it was really cute?? And then when I went back to visit and his dad put on red shoes and pretended to be him and was like "why don't I have an American girl fan club?" and it was awesome? And Elric was mentally like "why don't you die?" and his parents were like "why don't you live with us because no one likes him?" and then I moved in and lived there forever. Oh, my bad. The last part hasn't happened yet.
yet.
k, leave comments! bye!

Maybe I'm sick and twisted or else I have too much time on my hands.
I just want to tell you about the bitterness in my life, because I know you care.

Dear Danny,
I just read in my school paper (The Syracuse Daily Orange) that you performed at my school last night!! I can't believe I didn't know about it and that we didn't get a chance to hang out!! I'm really upset!!!
your cousin,
Kelly

*SENT*
then I got a reply email:

"I AM SOOO SORRY!!! We're coming back next semester and we'll hang out then..."

etc. etc. damn straight you're sorry! jk...tomorrow I have cousins who LOVE me coming not you, Daniel Patrick Tamberelli. No one likes you. just kidding!! He's going to visit me next semester or I'm going to cry.

Speaking of cousins, Ben Gaetanos is now my facebook friend and I'm really excited about it. He wrote me a message that says he remembers me. I guess religion class, the Greek fest, oh yea and Liz will do that to a person. I was mad excited on account of he's in the Mighty Taco commercial and someday he's going to be the world's most famous director.

Speaking of friends, I'm really excited that I have new really cool new livejournal friends. If you read my livejournal and you have a livejournal then I think you should become my friend because that would be really cool.

Speaking of really cool...Dirty Dancing parties are awesome!! I made it through BOTH movies without falling asleep this time and they were really cool. In secret news I'm out to kill my roommate via an evil plan involving frosted animal crackers I got in a really cool care package today (I also, randomly, got a Scooby Doo watch, goldfish, pretzels, chocolate, and a pedometer. I told you THESE cousins like me) but don't tell Becca because I don't think she'd really appreciate it.

So that's going to be the last update for today. I'm sorry if I'm clogging your friends pages. I'm really boring and I apologize!!

(ps I'm feeling a lot better now)
Thank you for your support! I love you all! you rock hardcore!!
Goodnight!

I WILL write those personal blog entries...but not right now. I'm not in the mood.
(the offer does however still stands)

Today would be my parents 27th wedding anniversary.
But not really.
I completely forgot. Merde.
Now I'm really depressed.
Yesterday they had a memorial service for him at Kenmore Mercy and they're having an honoring ceremony type thing at ECC for him, but as usual I can't go.
This sucks.

i just aint the same without you in my life
late night drives, all alone in my car
i can't help but start
singing lines from all our favorite songs
and melodies in the air
singin life just aint fair
sometimes i still just can't believe you're gone
and im sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven,
maybe we'll make it through one more year
down here

feel your fire,
when its cold in my heart
and things sorta start
remindin' me of my last night with you
i only need one more day
just one more chance to say
i wish that i had gone up with you too
and i'm sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven
maybe we'll make it through one more year
down here

you wont be comin' back
and i didn't get to say goodbye
i really wish i got to say goodbye
and im sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven
maybe we'll make it through one more year
i hope that all is well in heaven
cause it's all shot to hell down here
i hope that i find you in heaven
cause i'm so...
lost without you down here
you wont be coming back
and i didn't get to say goodbye
i really wish i got to say gooooodbye

What's a dad for dad?
Tell me why I'm here dad
Whisper in my ear that I'm growing up to be a better man, dad
Everything is fine dad
Proud that you are mine dad
Cause I know I'm growing up to be a better man

Father I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older I wanna be the same as you

What's a dad for dad?
Taught me how to stand, dad
Took me by the hand and you showed me how to be a bigger man, dad
Listen when you talk, dad
Follow where you walk, dad
And you know that I will always do the best I can
I can

Father I will always be (always be)
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me (over me)
Now I'm older I wanna be the same as you
The same as you

Father I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older I wanna be the same as you

Did the best you could, dad
Always understood, dad
Tell me I was right, dad
Opened up my eyes, dad
Proud to call you my, dad
Thank you for my life dad
~Yellowcard

I wonder if you're alone up there
Since you've been gone, I've been alone down here
He told me that I would be OK
When he said don't worry, and you'll be fine
It's only a matter, a matter of time

Now days have passed, and weeks have too
All I think about is how I miss you
He told me that I would be OK
But I feel the same that I felt that day
~Mest (adapted)

I love you Daddy. I always will.

this is sadly, and tragically, not studying for math.

so yesterday I went out to dinner with Hong-Diem and then I headed out to my HOT DATE aka math review with my CRAZY professor and luckily like 10 other people showed up. I was nervous that it was just going to be us and she was either going to find out I'm going to fail or else rape me. They would both be bad. (speaking of rape, we totally missed the Degrassi where Paige takes her rapist to court :( I'm rather distraught and I hope they show it in December!!) I skipped out early and went to fencing. Mike didn't go so I couldn't get my stuff and I was sad. It was pretty much just Greg, Scott, and me and a new guy named Dave who we taught...hopefully...and he was lefthanded. Then Karish (?) came in and broke a sabre fencing Scott and then Greg left and then Matt came (the other left handed guy) and then Karish and Scott left and Matt and Dave fenced and I sat there and cleaned up the armory. It was good times. We skipped out early so that I could get to Daymocracy (yay day!) which was maaaaaad boring and long and it made me miss the second half of the debate which upset me. then I went back upstairs, (they fixed the light on my floor in the second elevator so I went, pressed the button and then exclaimed, "it lights up!" and then everyone slowly walked away...) and left a message for Stephen that we needed to talk, and then went to Matt B from Hamburg's room, and I knocked and knocked but he wouldn't answer!! So I called him and he was like "I'm in your room" Keep in mind this was our SECOND guest of the day (Hong-Diem and I had a math party earlier) and so Becca was helping him with his French project so we had a French homework party because I still hadn't done mine and he finished about 12:30/1 so Becca left and I went to do my homework and there was a knock on the door so I thought Becca had left her key but it was STEPHEN! So she came back and we talked to Stephen for awhile and then we invited him in and we ended up talking to him until 3:30. Becca has written in her profile "2 am conversations: "Snuffleupagus? Yea, he's probably Greek." word.
This was a good plan because I had an 8:30 class where we had a quiz. It was good stuff. After French I took a nap. Now I must go study for math because I am going to fail hardcore. Even Paul Kenline's worried.

join facebook! Its the cool thing to do!!

I am deeply saddened by the lack of comments in my blog! If you read my blog would you please leave me a comment? I would appreciate it alot. In fact, for incentment, if you leave me a comment I will dedicate a blog entry to you and your wonderfulness. Full guarentee. I will write up a whole thing just about you! Please leave comments! It'll be fun! (1 per person!) Thanks!

Well, I'm not dead...
...in case you were worried.
Right now I'm really confused...but I'll find out soon...I'm really confused. ok...um...
a lot of work and stuff...fencing a lot...
yesterday I attempted to give blood. And when I saw "attempted" I mean just that... so it turns out (KIM DON'T READ THIS!!!) I have "moving veins" yes...so whenever the lady (or the other lady who tried after her) would poke my veins they would move to avoid the needle...so now I have huge bruises (more then my huge fencing bruises) and things on both my arms and I still couldn't donate because they couldn't get it out of me! How lame is that?! Well, I get credit for trying....I guess. How lame.
Afterwards I was in pain and stuff so I decided to go to Starbucks and then I went to Freshman Forum which was fun because we played a "Dear Abby" game where we wrote questions on paper and then we answered them as a group. For example:
the teacher: Dear Ben (the teacher's name), my next door neighbor is constantly playing the mandolin. What do I do?
Boy #1: break the mandolin
Boy #2: fight to the death
Boy #3: throw his stuff out a window.
Girl #1: is he any good?
"anonymous writer": no! he sucks!
Boy #1: break the mandolin!
Boy #2: fight to the death!
Boy #3: throw out his stuff!!
teacher: next question. This guy keeps touching me and I don't like it. What do I do?
Boy #1: put out and maybe then he'll be sick of it!
Boy #2: fight to the death!
Boy #3: throw out his stuff
Everyone: wait...is this a girl writing?...
etc. it was pretty amusing.
Then Alana and I went shopping and I came back and Becca and I had a Pita Party!! We were GOING to invite Hong-Diem but SHE hates us so forget her!! jk. Then I went to fencing. good times as usual until I started to feel lightheaded and dizzy and decided to sit there for awhile until I was ready to leave...yea... But right now I'm really confused.

Hey! Remember when I used to play fencing? Cuz apparently my body forgot how. Good job. Four years of fencing wasted. lol. Sometimes I forget. Well....like I have issues switching from weapon to weapon. Like within 2 hours fencing 3 completely different weapons it throws me off. And I guess I need foil practice....uggggg rigid rule weapons....

I can't even handle the Sambia culture. In class on Monday we watched a movie that was truely pornographic. A lesser part involved the statement "you ask why I took a second wife--after the birth of my child I cannot have sex for 2 years! (and homosexuality is ruled out after the birth of the second child) so what am I supposed to have sex with? a hole in the ground?" and that was a lesser part. I swear.

Monday night Hong-Diem and I had a math party (don't drink and derive!) which took us 2 hours to do 4 problems. and the teacher gave us the answers in class. (and we watched 7th Heaven). lol. it was awesome. I seriously don't know if I could be with a guy who I didn't know who he was voting for. I mean even if I did know and I didn't like it at least I would know...that show is so wierd. Then Becca came back and was like "THERE'S SOMEONE IN OUR ROOM!!" then she bullied us into going down to kareoke where we ate the food, saw Paul Kenline (of course) and then hung out with Stephen. (And Jim didn't help us with our WW until like 1:30 am....)

Mostly I've been doing homework and taking French tests (tomorrow we're having our third of the week.) and tomorrow I have a math test I'm not planning on passing so I should really go...

I hope all's well with you!!

A year ago today we were leaving France :( and then I came home and my mommy and daddy and David and Brian and Lyndsey had dinner with me and it was super nice :)
I wish I was doing that tonight..(instead of math review and missing the Presidential debate to go to fencing and daymocracy (yay day!). )

I wake up get out of bed
I feel like the walking dead
I take off my pants and wash my face
I'm safe again in the place I love to be
The unconscious world
Is the best world of all
With no real worry or fears at all

Thefacebook.com is evil and addicting. you should join!!!! all the cool kids are doing it!

Best. Weekend. Ever.

A special thanks go out to my favorite LIARS aka Liz, Dana, Kim, and BECCA!! Liar liar pants of fire, but THANK YOU, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!

So Friday we had the homecoming parade and we marched all around campus and cheered for Day Hall and then we ended up at the Dome for the pep rally where we won "Best keeping with the theme" or something cool along those lines... then I went back to my room and had an online debate party with my cousin Hope. Then I took a taxi to the RTC. My taxi driver, Steve, and I are in love. I got in the car and he was like "going back to Buffalo?" and I was like "um, what?" and then I realized he was the same taxi driver as when I went home the first time, so then we chatted all the way to the train station and we talked about the UB game because that was the last time we saw each other and he told me that he had bet on the UB/SU game and he was going to bet on Syracuse, but then he was like "it has to be a sign that I had a Buffalo girl in my car today" so he BET ON BUFFALO and LOST A LOT OF MONEY. So I felt bad and I apologized a few times and then he dropped me off and was like "when's her bus come in?" and I was like 12:30 and he was like "ok, I'll come back for you then" and I'm like "great thanks" and I go off to wait for liz, but her bus was 45 minutes late so at 12:30, Steve comes WALKING INTO THE STATION and he's like "hey, ready to go?" and I'm like "uh, no...she won't be here for 45 minutes" and he was like "ok I'll be back for you then, I'll just drive around for awhile near here" so Liz comes YAYYYY!! and I freak out and we're talking a mile a minute and freaking out and then I realize the Steve isn't there yet so I call him and I'm like "hey, its Kelly" and he's like "I'll send a driver for you right away" so 45 minutes later my cell phone rings and its like "hey, its Steve...has my driver picked you up yet?" and I was like "uh no" and he was like "GAHHH!! I'll be right there!!" So he came and he was homicidal and like swearing angrily and almost fired the driver so the next time I need a ride I get it for free. Also because Steve and I are in love. It was awesome.
Then Liz and I stayed up until 3 talking. YAY!!!
Then we woke up early to go to fencing!! We fenced epee for awhile, and by while I mean a really long while because we kept stopping to talk (making Jason and Mike make fun of us, because they're jerks) and then I got the feeling that Mike wanted to fence her so then they fenced and I watched and then I brought myself down enough to fence Jason. haha. Now Liz and I looked like battered women. I hate boys. Especially sabrists. After fencing we cleaned up and then I showed her around campus. We hung out in Schine and then we went to Marshall and we ended up eating at the Greek place there and eating Calzones and of course, watching my French teacher have a date. Sometimes I see him ALL THE TIME. Because I'm cool. Then we headed back towards the dorm and Becca called because she was right behind us so we started walking and like...then she and Liz started whispering and I was so confused! They've never met in their lives!!! What the HECK? And then I was sad. Then we went back to the dorm and hung out and went shopping at the bookstore and then I called Dana and she was really lost, but almost there so then we head down to eat and then I look out the window and who's there?
Dana Kunkel....AND KIM MCCABE!!!!!!! THE VERY SAME KIM WHO WAS STUCK IN OHIO THIS WEEKEND!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT??? IT WAS AWESOME!!!
So I got them some food and then headed off to work. Work is a lot of fun. I mean, is there anything cooler then trying to fit two ladies, two guys, a supervisor, two american girls, and two indian guys into a 10 by 2 area and then make them sell beer? and popcorn? and pop? (SODACORN!) and peanuts? and water? to people and then have the beer taps not work?? No, actually it was really fun. Then I left after halftime and we met up in the stairs (Liz and Kim had hung out in my room and Dana had gone off to Jewish festivities) and went to STARBUCKS. awesome. end of story.
Then Becca called and we headed back here and I called Hong-Diem who came over and we hung out in our room (AKA the party room) then the Shaw girls (Alexis, Jen, Mary El) came over and then we danced in the hall with some guys??? Aka Liz did? And it was insane party time??? Then we headed off to the WORLD'S BIGGEST PALACE DORMROOM for food, fun, parties, and LOVE ACTUALLY in Hong-Diems!! AWESOME
So we got to bed around 3:30 this morning.
And woke up...for 2 hours. Then we went to breakfast...for an hour. Then we came back and then we hung outside in the cold. and it was sad. Because everyone left :( and I miss them, because they're awesome. It was such a super weekend with lots of awesome quotes to come and then I went to fencing where I was made fun of because I didn't have any friends with me and saberists SUCK. And then I forgot how to do foil. And then I got back and had a facebook message from Mike that was like "why is your picture a foilist, Epee? You suck" that's what he meant to say. Anyway, now we all have nicknames. AKA the cool fencing crewwwww---Mike, Jason, Greg and me. And by cool I mean "all losers but me".
And that's why I have friends.
I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!
Best. weekend. EVER!!
you lying sacs de merde!! Je t'aime!!

Elizabeth Charlotte Christian, my best friend for 12 years who I have not seen in the longest amount of time since we've known each other will be here in 10 hours!!!!!

Dana Elisha Kunkel, one of my other best friends, who I have not seen in an even LONGER time, will be here in 24 hours!!!!

Christina Marie something Kennedy, another one of my best friends, might be here within the next 48 hours as well.

Homecoming parade countdown: 3 hours, 10 minutes.

Excitement factor: beyond compare.

Can I just say that one year ago today was the best day of my life??

Who: Kim, Liz, and me + the rest of the HOT FRENCH CREW!!!
What: were shopping, partying, taking pictures, and loving...
Where: Bruges, Belgium
When: a year ago today
Why: it was a field trip!! I woke up in my home by my Maman who brought me freshly squeezed orange juice and then Elric and I walked to school. We all (except Monique) went to ENGLISH HISTORY CLASS which we were all excited about because we were looking forward to going to a class where we would UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE and we love Mr. Schiffenberger. Sadly we were going to watch a movie, in French. So Mr. Schiffenberger would stop it and translate for awhile and then go on. We learned some really funny things about Winston Churchill.
Then we took the bus to Belgium! We saw MOUTONS and we discussed MANDATES and we discussed how we had been made fun of that day because ARNOLD "Swartzie" had been elected governor of California and we thought that people were just kidding when they told us. It was awful. AKA hilarious.
Then we arrived in Bruges. BEST QUOTES AND BEST TIMES EVER. <3 LOVE <3
* The little guy at the door of Colbert (“American!”)
* THE BELGIAN TOILET!!! (“my urine made it mutate!”)
* MANDATE! DES VACHES! MOO! MOU-TONS! BAHHH!
*Winston Churchill (bricklaying and in a gorilla suit!)
* “This is not the government homework! That’s a pair of socks!”- Liz
*“Ca va”- Elric (about Buffalo)
* “I’m a native eater of French fries…”
* “Belgium has a funny odor!”
* “I want to take a picture of your exchange student… what’s his name? Elbob?”-Katie
*ITS ALL ABOUT BRUGGES!
chocolate, waffles, shopping, frites, LOVE.

Then we went home and I went fencing with Elric <3
"world campions? yea, we have those too"
“sans les masques!”
"PARLEZ VOUS ANGLAIS??" "shut up"

Je desire etre la maintenant avec vous!

Let's hear it for seeing Matt Miller for the first time since like, Warped Tour! woot!

Anyway yesterday we went to the Everson Art Museum in Syracuse with Freshman Forum. It was a pretty good time--a little boring...I miss the Albright Knox SO MUCH though. Well, ok, so I miss the Musee d'Orsay more...but shhhh... anyway then afterwards we went back to the campus (yay taxis! Except the guy taxi in front of us should have turned around and waved but they didn't and I was sad. Hahaha we were so illegally crammed in there and we almost got into an accident and died. Awesome. Syracuse drivers suck.

Then we actually finished filming the fencing video!! Mad good times! Actually it was really bad because sometimes we were laughing too hard to film...and my sleeves mutated and grew because I was so excited about seeing fencers on the Quad. My awesome line was, "yea, sure thanks!" and then he gave me the flyer...and then I passed it on to the next group of fencers in the end! whoaaaaaaa...passing of the tourch etc. Mike and Jay are going to make us a copy that I can have to show to people so look forward to that.

I came back here to write my French essay until the Freshman Forum lecture. Last year they had David McCulloigh!!! <33333!! I'm such a loser. The professor told us that and everyone was like "uh, ok" and I was like "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! He wrote the John Adams biography!! It was the number one best seller for like 2 years! I loved that book!" It made John Adams cool again!! (shut up, he is cool!! But like I was his only fan in the world ever and then David McCulloigh like brought him into the light and people liked him. Awwww it was SO COOL. My daddy bought me the book and we read it and its really good...ok shut up so I'm a year too late.) Henry Louis Gates was the speaker, we read his book "Colored People" over the summer (I read it on the train in Ireland and finished it in the Amsterdam airport. I know I'm sweet) Haha, I wasn't the only person upset about missing the debate though. The Brian IR major in my class and I got really excited and Alana was like "I don't know you" haha she's the not cool IR major :)) and then we were talking about the election and I realized that Ben is from Valley Forge, PA (my favorite book in my earlier life took place there) and I was like "you're from a swing state!!!!!!!" and he was like "uh, how do you know where I'm from?" and I was like "I'm an american history nerd, remember?" and he was like "oh yea, well I have an absentee ballot" and I was like "yay! good job!" and he was like "you don't even know who I'm voting for. I know who you're voting for (I had been on a pro-Edwards is HOT rant beforehand) but you don't know who I'm voting for" and I got all confused. I was like "oh...yea. Well...are you voting the right way or should I never speak to you again?" and he was like "relax, I'm voting Democrat" and I was like "Good!" but I was so confused. because why wouldn't he vote democrat? phwew! It was insane. The lecture was better then I thought it would be, just like the book was better then I thought it would be.

Becca was sitting in front of me so we walked back together. Actually she ran because she doesn't have my tough Buffalo coldness. Anyway then I watched the VP debate and laughed and laughed at Cheney's face and droooooled over how awesome and hot and amazing Edwards is. Cheney said that he's in the Senate all the time and hadn't met Edwards before that day but he's a moron Edwards said that CHENEY VOTED AGAINST FREEING NELSON MANDELA. I hate that scumbag. Also, thank Sarah for http://www.youforgotpoland.com its hot.

Enough. Then today we had a super fun French class which included a lesson in cheese and eating cheese on baguette <333 and Vincent singing a rap song. It was intense.

In WP&C we're learning about the Sambia in Papua, New Guinea. We're learning about the...intense...male initiion rites. Allow me to quote directly from my notes from lecture this afternoon:
"small tribes.
pigs not important
homoerotic aspect to male rites"
its intense...I'm not going to write further because Kim could NEVER RESEARCH THESE PEOPLE. Its really....REALLY different.

guess who I'm seeing in 3 days???? yay!!
I love and miss you all!!

The best part of the Mest CD is the bodily functions. And also, WHAT'S THE DILLIO??

The best part about randomly sitting here doing nothing is glancing down at the paper you have yet to read and it saying "Danny Tamberelli" and me going "hmmm...what the crap?" Its a list of top 10 Childhood Stars and Danny's #3!!

"As Little Pete Wrigley from "Pete and Pete," Tamberelli managed to pull off having red hair and being supremely cool- a feat only previously attempted by Ron Howard. Ron made it "adorable" but it was Tamberelli who brought it up to a whole new level. Plus, his best friend's dad was Iggy Pop. End of Contest."

Damn Straight! Maybe I should send it to him. Or maybe I should just sit here and not. I'm so lazy I'll leave it up to you to figure out what I do. I think I'll email my uncle Paul and tell him. Because I'm sweet like that.

Ok so I don't know if its been good days or bad days since I last wrote. Its been fluctuating.

So yesterday I woke up nice and late and started doing math. I got so wrapped up in it that I was late going to fencing! I went and there was a new girl who I taught foil. Then I played foil with a really aggressive left hander (grr) named I forgot his name. Then I played epee, the best weapon ever, with George and then I argued with Jason and Mike because they are losers AKA sabrerers. How do you spell that? Anyway then I epee-ed with Mike and it was fun on account of epee is really fun. Then a girl whose name I forgot and Greg showed up and we went to the Quad to "finish" taping the fencing video. Jay and the other video guy showed up and we taped until 2:30. Jay said he saw my picture in the paper!.

Then I came back here to work on my webworks problems. It was absolutely miserable!! I had some amazing help from amazing people!! Thank you!! Anyway I worked (we worked) straight thru until 6:45 and I ended up getting a 73% which was the lowest grade I've gotten on any of them...by 27% so I was miserable but I figured since I don't understand it at all that's what I deserved and I had an RA/Floor President meeting and then we had a floor meeting. Woot. good times. We had a roommate game and Becca and I made it to the second round, but got kicked out after that because we don't actually know each other. haha.

then I went to Echo to practice my guitar and then I came back here to do homework until FOREVER. AKA until my internet shut off....this was also miserable!! I checked my email at 10 and I didn't have any new emails but when I checked my email at midnight I had an email from my math professor...wierd, huh? so I was like "oh man, she's going to yell at me for doing so bad!" so I open it up and she said, "Kelly, Great job on your webworks! I worry that you haven't started the next set though. They're due Tuesday night and if you wish to suceed in the class you must do your homework in a timely fashion. I hope that you've printed them out and are working on them. Professor Doer" Ok, so are we agreed she's a psycho? then I went to get my WW and the internet shut off so I went to bed. and I woke up and I was siiiick and tired and blaaaaah.

so I headed off to French class where he collected the essays...and that was the point I realized I did not write my essay! It wasn't on the syllabus!! gahhh!!! I completely forgot!! So he was like "talk with me after class" and I was dying all class. At the end of class he was like "just write it for tomorrow" he didn't even care. Oh man, I was soooo relieved. So that part was good. He also said he saw my picture in the school paper! I'm so hot.

Then I went for extra help with the world's favorite math TA. Then I got my second dishing of coffee because I was REALLY tired and sick this morning and I studied and then I went to global community which was WONDERFUL and lovely. Ok, so Alana and I have two classes together and we ALWAYS mix up our teachers and we were joking around about taking pictures of them and then comparing so everyone can see and we brought it up with our freshman forum teacher before and he said he didn't know Prof. Rupert so today I remembered my camera and I wrote "I have my camera today" on a piece of paper and turned it so Alana could read it and she started laughing and then after class I was like "should we do it?" and she was like "you mean should YOU do it?" and then everyone left and I was like "we have a question" and Alana was like "SHE has a question" and he was kinda freaked out and said he didn't know Prof. Bradley, but that they're probably the same person anyway so I took his picture and it was really funny. Plus the class was great. There are two funny quotes from the day, too:
The people were vacuming outside our classroom and making really funny noises and banging against the door and we all started laughing because it sounded funny and then the prof said, "AHH! ZOMBIES!"
it was great. Then later he said,
"And I had another point. Well, what was it, Mark? GIVE ME A MINUTE!" it was funny too.
Anyway that class was wonderful and then I went to calc which was bad as usual. But not as bad as it could have been I guess. Then I studied outside some more and went and took my World People and Cultures test which was pretty easy I hope. then I came back here and here I am.

Sorry it wasn't really interesting, but it was just really wierd. Now I'm going to go shopping for food (aka food shopping) but first I would like to say something...

There were some girls who landed in France...and they were us. A year ago today!
Happy Anniversary, I love you TOOOOOBES FOR LIFE!! Someday our love will be recognized and we will live in some liberal country like..oh...say....Belgique?


oh yea, and we also saw this guy

Hey
so last night was fun(it wasn't as big a party as Liz and Naomis' but still) my mom and my dad's old coworker from way back, Jolene, her husband and son picked me up and we went back to Aubern to the hotel. We ate at an Irish pub and it had really good food. I spent the night at the hotel and then this morning we came back here. We parked at Skyhigh and took the shuttle back. I got on the first one because I had to race to work and I made it to the Dome like 15 minutes early. I headed up to my beer stand (270D) and I saw Alana who was working 270C. Then I hung out with the girl who was put as my co-seller. Here name was Sarah Christian. Oh man, what a last name! I mean what kind of last name is THAT? Seriously. Although she was really awesome (must be the last name!) We talked a lot (because sometimes there's really nothing to do) and then when people came for beer we IDed under 35 (the oldest I IDed was born in 1969-yes!!) and we got along well. We invented a game that was called "Would you ID them?" wherein we would point someone out and then ask the other if we would ID them. The very best moment of the day was when Sarah pointed out a young man and said "would you ID him?" and I was like "yea, I would" and then he came over to buy a beer so she was like "here's your chance! go!" so then I walked over laughing and I was like "hi, how many and can I see your ID please" so he's like "one" so I'm like "$4.50, can I see your ID?" and he says...and this is a direct quote... "Do you take Nederlands ID?"
awesome.
Ok so "I'm Smart" training does NOT teach you about DUTCH IDS!!! Anyway I took it and its like this pink folded piece of paper, in Dutch. Luckily, I speak more Dutch then most people at that Dome probably...or at least I did at one time! So he pointed out where his DOB was-1975- and I'm like "hmm, ok so where in the Holland are you from?" and he's like "Uter" and I'm like "ok if he was a frodulant Dutchman then he would have said Amsterdam" so I was like "I went to Amsterdam this summer" and he was like "oh really? did you like it?" and I was like "yes" and I gave him the beer. It was insane. On a side note, the Tappen High School mascot is the Dutchman. Sweet.
Another random 21 year old gave me a military ID which threw me even though they DID go over that in training. I didn't catch any fake IDs though. It was a lot of fun and we made a lot of money. Its really a huge shame we can't accept tips though! We'd be rich as kings! We had two pourers and a really good looking supervisor named I forgot. Maybe Steve? Doesn't matter. Anyway he looked like Nick Carter.
After halftime Sarah and I got nachoes, mountain dew, and candy (I just realized my mom took off with my Milk Duds!!) and ate them while watching the game. While we watched, Rutgers scored making them up by like 3 so we left and said goodbye and I went to find my mom. I took her for food in the student center and showed her around campus. While we were inside, the Orange scored making us up by 4. While we were walking around campus Rutgers scored again. We left the student center so I could show my mommy my favorite building on campus (the Hall of Languages...its sexy) and as we left my mom said "oh, there are the Rizzos!"
So I live here for a month and I don't see Jay Rizzo and she's here for how long before we're chilling with my favorite (aka only) tour guide of SU? I mean...he HAD AN AP BIO BOOK IN HIS ROOM. I walked in--well, if you don't remember the story I'll quote directly from my blog on Jan. 19:

We dropped them off at their Magic Tournament (Strong Bad: ToUORnament.) and headed off to meet my new friend Jason. We got lost big time because Syracuse pretends to have a route 81 South but its a lie. But we eventually visited him. He took us into his dorm room...and I walk in and gasp... so he says "yea, isn't the view beautiful?" but I can't speak... finally I say, "YOU HAVE MY AP BIO BOOK ON YOUR SHELF!!" It was amazing. HE GOT IT FOR FREE!! And he uses it because he's a bio major but he didn't use that book when he took it at WSW. So he showed me all around the campus and its absolutely beautiful and its really up there in terms of places I want to go (that and Cornell... but I REALLY like it and it has a REALLY good IR program...) sooo...I dunno.

In case you were wondering, I ended up at SU.
SU ended up winning with a touchdown at the last minute...making the score being...TBA...ORANGE winning by like 4.
Anyway then we met up with the Tracys again and we decided to go to church so we walked down the the ACC and were 1/2 hour early so we met everyone like 7 times and became good friends. My friend the guitarist from the Italian fest was playing but I didn't have my guitar so I didn't play but it was a really nice mass. It was the parents day mass though...and I'm not all into the whole "parents" thing because it doesn't make me really all that happy so I bawled during like, the entire mass. I'm such a crybaby. Ok, I know I'm allowed but I felt like a loser anyway. So then we end up having some refreshments afterwards with like Father Tim and Eileen and the lady from Mount St. Marys and Mr. Tracy turns to me and said, "do you want my 'Syracuse Dad' pin" so I looked at him and I was like "I don't really have a need for it" and he said "put it with a picture of your dad" and I burst into tears and Eileen was like "What's wrong??" so then Mr. Tracy and Jolene started talking about my dad and what a wonderful guy he was and everyone's hugging me and I'm crying my eyes out and then we talked for like a 1/2 hour so I cried for at least an hour today and then Eileen wants to set up a Berevement committee with me and stuff and it was really nice and now I hafta go talk to her for like, spiritual cousiling kinda. Ok, I don't need counsiling...I mean...I'm very spiritiual and I know that my Daddy's with me all the time. I see signs that he's with me all the time. For instance I know that whenever there's a special light shining down on me I know its him and today I looked up at one of the lights and it was pointing down at the guitarist and I knew that my Daddy was teasing me and saying that I had to sing louder and play at mass. haha, it was really funny. I started laughing. Then I got kinda freaked out and when I looked back up it was shining on me instead. I love my Daddy and I miss him even though he's with me all the time.
That's enough of that. Anyway on the way down we ran into Vincent, my French teacher again. hahah I'm such a loser. I see him all the time now! aka twice! So he met my mom and they spoke in French even though my mom doesn't speak French she just knows the stuff for like, getting along while visiting my French family and then Vincent realized this and they had a conversation in English (just like my French mom!! GAHH! Not that I'm bitter!!) and I felt like a stalker because I shouldn't see him twice.
Anyway after Mass we were going to take the bus back to the car on Skyhigh but Father Tim was like "no! Let me drive you!" so he drove us back to our car!! It was so nice of him!! We're best friends. Speaking of best friends that are priests, I got a letter the other day! From FC!! Aww, I miss FC and Father Jack. Anyway then we drove around and ended up eating at a nice little pizza place on Marshall St.
Then we came back here to say goodbye and I was hugging my mom goodbye, but I had to stop because there were kids at the door that needed to get in.
YOU'RE WELCOME PAUL KENLINE!!
He's just angry because HIS parents didn't love him enough to come up this weekend!
(that or his parents weren't up because ESF parents weekend was 2 weeks ago)
Anyway then my mom and the Tracys left and I'm here and "doing homework" ready for a crazy day tomorrow!! I can't wait!

Ohhhh man, if you go to SU check out the front page of the Daily Orange today--its all about Jordan and that's me sitting behind him (the one covering her face with her hand on account of an allergic reaction that has caused my face to turn into a really big red thing that's big and red)

Let me tell you how this came to be. Wellll last night I was invited to the College Democrats Debate Party and the NYPIRG party. woot! So I went to the College Dems party but I didn't know anyone there so I was sad but then Jordan walked in and we hung out. The debate was really cool. Kerry kicked butt. I always like him better when I hear him speak then just normal. Like before we saw him in Buffalo I hated him, but afterwards I liked him a lot more. He said a lot of things last night I didn't think he would so that was pretty cool. I was proud. Bush is such a moron. I'll never understand why people like him. I liked Kerry's talk of alliances the most...mmmm...being respected in the world again.

Anyway, we Day 7 people (the secret good people who hide downtown) walked back together and I did some homework and Becca's parents were here. Then I went to bed and this morning had World People and Cultures, then coffee, then a sub for global community (it was funny because my phone started buzzing and then everyone was staring and then MK's phone started bussing, and then the girl in between us's phone started buzzing and we were all pretending it wasn't happening. Thanks Jess! :) )and then calc.

Dear Professor,
seriously. just ignore me. I don't need anymore help.
Thanks, and if you could explode that would be cool.
Kelly

Anyway this afternoon we had fencing again and we filmed almost the end of the movie. It was me, Mike, Jay, Greg, George, and sabrekid who I'm going to call Jason because I think that's his name. Hahaha it was awesome. Jason and George are soo not as good at being bored as Greg and me! There conversation was like:

Jason: oh man, I really hate my philosophy class. Its so boring. I think I slept thru it all the whole time. 8:30 is too early to have a class.
George: its really sunny.
Jason: uh yea.
George: *shading eyes from the sun* yea.
Jason: let's go ~leaves~
George: *pause* ok. ~leaves~

Meanwhile Greg and I are like:
Greg: so yea, ESF is a really good school. That squirrel over there is in my fan club. There are also dinosaurs in my fan club.
Me: don't the dinosaurs eat the squirrels?
Greg:*as we approach the microphone, throws his bottle on the ground*
Me: so what did you do this weekend?
Greg: nothing, I sat around the whole time. you?
Me: I sat around and ate tortillas.
Greg: yea. I am so bored.
Me: Yea, what is there to do around here?

Oh man, its funnier I guess if you were there. And yet again, this is not a good entry. I'm sorry.
Also I saw Vincent my French teacher and we hung out. I was like "Bonjour!" it was crazy. I guess that's not really hanging out, but sometimes hanging out is constituted as talking in French in the quad while one of you is wearing a fencing outfit and carrying a weapon. Actually its fun to just walk around dressed as a fencer, especially during parents weekend. I recommend it.
I GOT A PACKAGE TODAY!! THANK YOU TO THAT PERSON!!! I LOVE YOU!
I guess I'm going to wait for my mom and Jolene and her family come up and take me to dinner.
I love the Simpsons. Its a truly great show.
Sorry again this was boring. Leave me a comment anyway?
