Yeah, I guess I might as well keep this going. Updates for y'all.
-Eric sort of broke up with me. Yeah. Ouch. But hey, I was going to do it anyway. Okay.
-We lost out last home basketball game. Ouch. It wasn't that fun anyway.
-The dance last night was okay. I guess.
-Cardboard boat race Tuesday! So excited! Matt and I are going to win!
-Grades are amazing. Alg is like 103%. But I have a B in band for being late (For getting your ACT packet, Ms. Alyssa.....) But it should raise to an A.
-I rejoined LifeTeen Band aka Righteous Noise (to remind you both)

Update 2/20
I never get on my computer anymore! Ahhh!
I'm thinking about just deleting this blog and probably the other one because frankly I don't use them anymore and I like talking to you girls face to face or on the phone much better. Plus Alyssa blogs too much. Love you though!!
Okay, so before I make my decision, here's my update:
I went to the Margaretta game like I told you guys to see Gavin play. They beat Perkins! Yay!!
No plays for a while, yay and not so yay.
Back to the Lifeteen Band, but I think I will stay with Congas because I freak out on drumset.
My mom is moving in with her boyfriend and probably getting married. He has prostate cancer though. My mom is freaking out about it. I will have a stepbrother named Kelley (really weird, huh?)
Eric and I are back together (you knew that)
Matt is still not talking to me (you knew that) and I could really care less if that's the way he chooses to live.
I got my grades back up, and right now I have the highest average in Algebra II (like 103% or something!!)
Eric's ex-girlfriend is so jealous that I'm with him again that she's threatening me and making rude comments in the halls. But I hold my chin high and don't care.
I don't really know what else. I guess if something more happens I will text you two, but as for now, no more blog!

Update 2/7
Hey girls (and guy, if you're even reading this. From the rumors I hear, you've turned against me. This needs to be addressed in privacy). Sorry I haven't been online in FOREVER. This show is consuming my life, as is studying for school/ACT. But the ACT is over, and the show is 2/8 done. Though I do wish it could be done now.... Nevertheless, here's a quick update for you.
-I took the ACT today, and guess what Alyssa, JAKE was there! We talked in the line for a minute, but I took writing and he did not, so we parted separate ways. Then later I was talking to him about what college he wants to go to and what he wants to major in. He's got big plans! Thought I'd share that with you. I picked up an ACT registration packet for you as well, but you'd better be grateful, it made me late to band! :(
-Show 3/8 tonight. It's going really great, and the audiences love it. I enjoy the compliments we get afterward as well :)
-Eric and I are back together. He ex-girlfriend is enraged, however. She thinks she owns Eric or something, I don't know, and she's calling me a slut everytime I turn around. It's really kind of mean. She promised to 'make my life a living hell' by threatening me in the hallway and defaming my reputation as a nice girl. It's a shame that her jealousy makes her do this, but what am I supposed to do? Break up with Eric to make her happy? This is the way I see it. I could...
A. Date Eric and suffer the enduring hatred and slander of Erica
B. Break up with Eric and endure the hatred and slander of Erica, and give her what she wants.
I'd rather be happy with Eric and deal with her futility than give in to what she wants. She even threatens to start a Facebook group called 'I Hate Kelli'. So girls, please pray for her.... and that her attitude won't taint our relationship.
-I get to meet my sister's boyfriend tomorrow!!!!!!!! I'm excited. Kayla, Chad, and Eric are coming for dinner. Yay!
-Roughly 20 college emails were in my inbox this afternoon. I responded to all of them, so guess whose mail carrier is going to hate them? Mine! :)
Anyway, that's all I can think of now... I will try to be on sometime this week for another update! Love and God Bless!

Hey guys.
So I started another blog, pretty much just for random writings and poetry. Sorry I haven't kept up on your guys' writings, but with the two shows coming close to performance dates, I've been really busy. Hope you all are doing okay, I am doing pretty well aside from a cold. Hope to talk to at least one of you at Lifeteen this weekend! Go Steelers!!! :)

God Bless my friends going to DC!
I bet all of them are excited. Hope you all have a safe trip. Bundle up, though.
I'm pretty excited for these two plays. Especially the school showing of Bang, Bang, You're Dead. I think it will really get to a lot of students' core. I started rereading a book I own written by the mother of a teen who was killed in the Columbine shootings. The teen, Cassie Bernall, was killed in her junior year. Cassie's description reminds me so much of myself: A born-again Christian who was given a second chance. She led a spoiled-brat type life as a child, and then hit reality hard in middle school and made friends with the wrong crowd. She got into drugs, alcohol, and self destruction. Now, I wasn't that bad, but certainly I wasn't the person I am now. But she changed when she found God. At first, she still kept her old image, but went completely straightedge. She left her old friends for her new ones, and even transferred to a Christian school. She grew closer to God everyday, and by the time of her death she had turned her life around 180 degrees. She died as a martyr, too. As she crouched praying underneath a table on the fateful April morning, one of the gunmen put the muzzle to her head and asked if she believed in God. Without thinking, her classmate who survived described, she answered, 'Yes'. The gunman shot her. Reading this book has definetely helped me develop character and see the seriousness of this show. I'm not saying that I think there are potential killers in our school that would do such a thing, but it really makes me appreciate what I have and the sanctity of life, very much appropriate for this week.
Anyway, the dinner with my mom and sister went really well. I hope the two of them can start getting along. At first, one could cut the tension in the air with a knife, but they both relaxed and talked like the good old days. And of course, my sister and I bickered about boys and highschool and work. Like the good old days.
I guess I'm taking a break from the dating scene for now. I just haven't really had time, nor do I see any need, to be dating or talking to boys. It's a revelation for me. That is, unless a certain select few decide to come around. Which would be pretty cool, but I'm not looking for it, and therefore, think I will be single for Valentine's Day. Cool.

Barack Obame, stop e-mailing me!
I do not support your campaign for change!
So our basketball team lost to Fremont by a good amount and apparently due to Miss Sackett not liking me and the lack of anyone non-percussion-y wanting to support the basketball team, pep band is done for the season. Simply because we only had 2 trumpets (who are terrible), a trombone and a clarinet. Can I help it if nobody shows up? No. But we had a good sized drum section. Drummers always show up. It shouldn't be pep BAND, no, pep drumline. That's better. Drummers always show up for our love of cadences and desire to get into the game free of charge, then we all go to taco bell afterwards. Which I lost my phone in the pilgrammage to. In the snow. At night. And it was on vibrate. Yes, really. So we spent like a half hour searching (and throwing snowballs) in a desperate attempt to locate my brick... err... cellular telephone. Well, Gabby found it, and I dried it under the hand dryers at Taco Bell's restroom. And life resumed as normal. But it was kind of funny. Even though it was cold, and I was on my knees in the snow, in jeans that have ripped knees, so by the transitive property, my naked knees were in snow.
Moving on, one of the two girls in our whole school that I cannot muster any patience or affection for got the role in the musical that I painstakingly practiced for. Yeah. HER. who has been in ONE total theatrical performance run. Whilst I have partaken in THIRTEEN. And she's not pretty, by the way. She lacks a figure, yet she was selected for the role of a seductive and steely showgirl. No alliteration intended. Whatever, I'm over it.
Next week my sister and I are going to dinner at my mom's house.
Right.
My sister is actually speaking to my mom.
Ha-lle-lu-jah, praise the Lord, what the heck is wrong with her.
Cool. I'm not complaining.
So the one day I go in to work without any makeup, everybody and their brother that i know shows up. NOT FAIR. Karma.
But one person (actually two) showed up that made my day. Even though it was at like 4:30 when I was sposed to get off at 4.
Mr and Mrs Easley, the couple that were my foster parents, came to my reg. And I knew I knew them from somewhere bit didn't know where. I could tell that they felt the same way. As they were leaving, I motioned for the man to come back, and asked if his name was Joe. He said, Yes, and you are Little Kelli! I said yes, and how I didn't recognized him because I remember him as a very tall guy, but realized that when I was with them (3 years ago) I was only like 5'3. Haha. But anyway, I filled them in on what I am involved in, yadda yadda, gave hugs and kisses and talked for a while. It was so great seeing them and reminded me how God blessed me with such a nice family. It also reminded me of the irony that I was with a colored family when my dad was boisterously racist. Hm. Taught me a lesson. Anyway, that was awesome
Dance tryouts for musical tomorrow! If I don't make this cut, then it's chorus/pit orchestra for Kelli. :(
Lifeteen after all this madness! Good! A way to just chill out no matter what happens and to let all the stress and unfairness and bad feelings from this week just flow out. Yayy!
By the way, the new layout, awesome. It screams Julie Andrews in the 'My Favorite Things' aspect. I mean, red white and blue, and nautical themes... together at last!

Another Kitty! (For tonight, that is) && snoww!
I brought in our outdoor cat, Milk (She is all grey except for a white patch over her mouth. So cute.) for the night when I found her shivering in the garage. It's too snowy and cold for her to be out there. Good thing Aunt Mary and Uncle Dan aren't home, because Aunt Becky doesn't care. I brought her in last year and Uncle Dan wouldn't let her stay (but I kept her in my room and fed her once they were asleep) when it was like -20 degrees. OC Kitty knows that Milk is locked in my room, though, and isn't happy with me, but oh well. I love my cats, both of them.
Snow!! Like a foot plus. All of today's activities were cancelled. I am bitter that the basketball game is cancelled. I hope our band concert is cancelled. But not Lifeteen. That would suck. I miss all my Catholic friends!
Pretty much my itinerary of the day:
-Woke up at 8, took the dog out.
-Ate breakfast
-Found out that Firelands Challenge was cancelled
-Went back to bed
-Woken up by Aaron texting me
-Spent an hour and a half texting back and forth with Aaron (and Matt for a while)
-Found out dance was cancelled somewhere in that time frame
-Told Aaron that I was going back to sleep, to not text me
-Fulfilled that promise
-Woke up, watched some movie on Hallmark about a Great Dane who thought he was a Dachsund (I was still out of it... but it was a cute Disney movie) (Correction: My TV Guide says the name is 'The Ugly Dachsund'. I liked it.)
-Made lunch (mac and cheese) for Aunt Becky and myself
-Downloaded music, read email
-Went to shovel Grandma's house
-Pat Catan's (girls: everything is extra 25% off)
-Burger King (stomach ache) with Aunt Becky's family
-Home with cat.
Pretty much... a boring day. But I enjoyed it. It feels like it should be like 9:00 but it's 7:00....
My question is this, Why couldn't the snow come during the week so we could've had a snowday???!?!
