I've decided that I'm going to stop apologizing for never posting anymore, because only like two people read this, so oh well.
Blogging is something I enjoy and I do it when I want and need to, not because I have a schedule I need to stick to, which if i had readers I'd probably have the inspiration to blog a lot more. But considering that I don't, oh well.
The last two weeks have been spent painting and removing wall paper in my new house. Which is very very exciting for me because our old house is falling apart, and our new house is so so nice.
But anyways, that's not why I wanted to make this post.
I'm sitting at my dad's right now. We've just spent the better half of the night on google maps looking at the satellite images for the schools I want to go to. I have three schools that I want to go to, and the closest one is nine hours away from my Southern Comfort Zone and Safe Haven, Chapel Hill. My program is prosthetics and orthotics. Which is the profession I have had my heart set on since the 8th grade. And, that's a very rare program only 11 schools in the country have it. My choices are, University of Hartford in Connecticut (16 hours away), University of Pittsburgh(9 hours away) And St. Petersburg College (12 hours away). They're all good schools, however the two that I feel that I'd get the best education at are 15k/ semester. Which, well is more than I can afford. They are also in big, big cities. And, Northern. Which is honestly the worst thing about them. I'm not a huge fan of northerners as a whole. They tend to be rude and think southern people are ignorant. I know that that's just a sterotype, but through my experiences, it's mostly true with the exception of a few awesome northerners that I know. Big cities are another problem all their own, but I could take a self defense class, and I'm sure I'd get used to it. The school in Florida is in a smaller town, and a retirement community, and it's on the coast. It's the preferable climate and people there. The crime rate is low and it'd be an awesome temperature all the time. But, the school isn't that great. So, I'm going to apply to all 3 of the schools, and if I only get into one, then I'll go there. If I get into all 3, who knows what I'll do, but I have a whole year to decide that.
So, Happy College Hunting to all of you juniors and seniors! It's exhausting.

Not Going To Be That Shy Girl Anymore.
Today, I made a big decision, that I never would have made a year ago.
I want to try and be our Beta Club candidate for Convention, and that means, if my Beta Club picks me, then I'll be talking in front of 1,000+ people that I don't know.
And that's huge, especially for me, because I HATE talking in front of people. Recently, though I have gotten a lot better. And I'm really, really excited for this! It will be a great opportunity for me if I do get to do it. I will meet a ton of new people. And if I win, it would open huge doors college wise.
But I need a good campaign idea, really bad! I've got nothing. But I'm confident that between my friends and I, I will find something good.
On a completely unrelated note, NaNoWriMo is fast approaching! And I'm also excited for it because I have an idea :)

Accomplishments.
Today, I added Complete A 5K to my bucket list.
My mom and I have been walking to the creek and back everyday this week. And everyday, my leg hurts a little less when I do it. Sure, my stump kind of is sore and hurts, but I'd rather be sore now than unable to do something later in my life.
My cousins just finished a 5K last weekend. It got me thinking, I should be able to do that.
There's double amputees that run marathons, and Oscar Pistorious was in the Semi Finals of the Olympics.
So, I have decided that I can do it too.
I'm going to get in shape, I've decided that I'm not going to be unhealthy my whole life, if I correct it now, I won't have to worry about things as much when I'm older.
So, today, I've decided to get in shape! And be able to do as much, maybe more, as everyone else.

I promise I'm going to blog more!
I know, I've said that a million times.
But this time I mean it!
No one even reads my blog, but one day someone will and then boom, I'll get comments and all kinds of fun things like that.
Until then, I'm just going to blog when I feel like it, which is a lot honestly. However, I always start a post and then my brain dies about halfway through an idea because I've been exhausted.
School sucks, by the way.
It's really not that bad, I just hate all the homework. I'm not used to actually having homework.
Guess I'm just preparing myself for college, huh?
Speaking of which, I can't wait to move to Florida and go to college.
There will be things I miss here, I know that. My family and friends being the main things. But I need independence. I can't wait for it. I can't wait to decorate my own little apartment and adopt and cat.
AND LIVE BY THE BEACH.
My mom thinks I'm taking too far of a jump. I'm moving 12 hours away.
I think I'll be happy there though, and I'll be successful. I think she knows that, but she doesn't want me to be that far away, either.
I'm not too thrilled with being so far, but it's what I have to do. And I'm going to, gosh darnit!
Hearts and exercise endorphins.

My Ray of Sunshine.
This week my best friend Dylan hasn't been at school.
It has been awful. You know that saying where you don't realize how much you love someone or something until they're gone?
Well I knew how lucky I was to have him as a friend, but this week I realized how much.
He is one of my favorite people and he's fantastic. He's entirely himself and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him, and I envy that so much.
When I first met him I thought he was weird and I didn't want to be friends with him.
I look back on that time and I feel awful. I didn't want to be friends with him because I was too afraid to be myself. Now I'm not, and him and my other best friend Kaitlin have a lot to do with that. :)
Dylan Alexander Herren is one of the best people in the universe and anyone who knows him and doesn't know that, well I'm sorry for you, cause you're missing out. :)
It makes me sad that when I move to Florida I can't bring him with me, but I know we'll skype all the time and talk on the phone. :)
This week I have been without my ray of sunshine and Monday needs to hurry up so I can see him!!

I'm a Junior.
I had my first full day of Junior Year today. It was a good day.
I'm having issues with the fact that I only have two years of high school left, but I'm also excited about it.
I get to go to Prom this year! And being a hopeless romantic, and love dressing up and looking pretty, I'm so excited about.
This year, as far as classes, is going to be harder but nothing that I can't handle.
The fact that I can drive is going to make this year just a million times better.
I have a feeling this is going to be a really good year, and even though nothing is the same as last year, I'm excited.
Here's to a fantastic year!

Clearing the Air.
I'd just like to clear this up.
I believe in God, i Believe in Jesus.
I believe they love everyone. I believe good people will join them in Heaven.
I pray every night that I will one day, when I'm old and gray.
I pray every night for everyone I love, and for myself, and for everyone that needs God.
I feel better when I pray.
but no one understands the way I think. And that's fine, because I know I have people who love me and support the way I think.
But, just why is it so hard for people to accept what other people think?

I'm a Christian. Yes, I support Gay Marriage.
Sue me.
Tell me I'm wrong and not a real Christian. Well, I think I'm a better Christian than those people who protest solider's funerals.
Some of the best people in this world are gay. I know this for a fact.
Give me an example, you say? Ellen DeGeneres. She gives to charity and needy people all the time. Her and her wife, Portia are a beautiful couple!
Oh no, Kimberlee, they're going to the fiery pits of Hell for BEING IN LOVE. You tell me one right thing about that sentence, not one.
Yes, The Bible says it is an abomination for a man to lie with another man.
Have you ever stopped and thought who wrote the Bible, exactly?
God?
Jesus?
No. Men. Men in Biblical times at that. Who were afraid of anything different or stronger than them.
This is 2012.
People should be allowed to marry who you they want.
The Bible also says that women should serve their husband as they serve God.
I'm sorry, future husband of mine, but God comes before you. And I will never serve you. Support you, yes. Love you, yes.
Marriage is about being equals and partners in our lives. Not servants.
Is it really so crazy as to think the Men who wrote the Bible strayed a little from what God was saying? Or misinterpreted it? I don't think so.
God would not have created gay people to condemn them to Hell for all of eternity. Not wholly based on that. If they were murders, AND gay, maybe. But if they lived a good, charitable life and never did anyone harm, and the only "sin" they committed was loving someone of the same sex or being born in the wrong body?
If God is that cruel then He needs a new occupation.
Some people really were just born in the wrong body, or attracted to the same sex, but if they're a good person then they are. But no, not in the eyes of people who calls themselves Christians. They're an abomination and they must repent for their sins!
And if that's what being a Christian is, then, hey, maybe I'm not one.
But I think being a Christian is loving everyone and leaving all the judging up Jesus.
Because I don't care if you're a purple alien, if you're a good person then I will like you.
And you can love whoever the hell you want, without being judged.
I'm sure some of you don't agree with me, and that's fine. This is just what I think.

Vacations of a Lifetime and Wheels.
Hey guys! Sorry I've been away for awhile!
But as you know, I was in Florida for 10 days with my family and the last 4 days there were insanely busy!
However, all the lack of sleep and aching feet/knees was entirely worth it.
I had the best summer ever, even if my summer was 10 days long, I would be satisfied with the 10 days I spent with my family. I had so much fun I don't even know where to begin!
I cross 3 things off my bucket list! THREE! In ONE trip. Insanity, I tell you.
I saw Winter the Dolphin, I spent two awesome days at Disney World, I went to three different beaches, and I spent time with my awesome family.
Which that last thing alone was worth it because I hadn't seen them in so long it was ridiculous.
I could probably post ten blogs about all the things I experienced on that trip, and I might make a separate one for Disney, who knows.
OTHER FANTASTIC NEWS! I officially have a car. :) :) 6 months after I turned 16, but hey, it's better than nothing.
And it's really nice car on top of that!
Exciting things. :)

Florida. :)
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days. But I have been super super busy!!
Friday, I flew from Nashville to Charlotte and then to Orlando. :) Then drove to Jacksonville with my Aunt, Uncle and Grandparents where we met my cousins Sarah, Haley, Joshua and his wife Sophia. :)
We had a wedding celebration for them in Jacksonville Saturday and we came home that night.
Sarah and I stopped at Flagler beach on the way to Winter Haven. :)
Sunday I got to see my Uncle Paul preach, and it was pretty cool. :) And I had tons of fun at Youth Group. I wish I could go to their Youth Group every Sunday.
Tomorrow we are chilling and going to hang out with Grandma and look through old pictures. :)
Wendesday we're just hanging out and going to church, I think.
Thursday we're going to Clearwater to meet Winter. And I'm also going to look at the campus I might be going to school at when I graduate. :)
Friday is either the beach or Disney, and whatever we don't do Friday, we will do Saturday. :)
Here's some pics. :)
No quote today, because I'm too lazy to look up a good one. But I'm having a blast!

Furry Magical Creatures.
I have just spent the better part of the last hour watching the CUTEST animal videos I have ever seen in my life. :)
I was on Jenna Marbles Blog when I stumbled upon these cuties' videos.
And I agree with Jenna Marbles a thousand percent. I want this chick's life! She has CAMELS! And baby lamb live in her house! They're adorable!
And her wittle kitty Pancake is BFFS with her dog. :)
And I officially want to get a kitten and puppy at the same time and raise them together to be BFFS when I move out and get my own place, because I want more than anything to have lil furry best friends/babies of my own. :)
Although we have 2 cats, they're Ricky's cats. lol They love him the most.
And now I have blown your mind for cuteness for the day. :)

Counting Down The Days.
Guess what you guys!!! I'm going to be in Florida in 4 days! :D
I literally can't wait. I'm crossing two, possibly three things off of my bucket list while I'm there!
Which include,
Disney World
Seeing my Dad's family
And possibly meeting Winter the Dolphin, in Clearwater :)
I have absolutely nothing planned this week but packing, and getting everything ready to go. :)
Oh, and I'm hanging out with Kaitlin one day this week too, and possibly Brittney :).
So, even though we have been having ridiculously hot weather, and we still will be this week, I am so excited!!

Lemme tell you, getting up at 5:15 and working 7 hours for three days in a row, in like 105-113 degree dry cleaner's has worn me completely outttt.
But I made money for my trip, so it was worth it :)
I'm now sitting at my mom's work until she gets off. This weekend I'm going to go shopping for clothes for my trip. :) I'm leaving a week from today, I can't express how excited I am!! :D

I'm going to Disney!!
July 6th, I will be getting on a plane to go to Orlando to visit my family in Winter Haven, Florida!! I can't wait!!
I'm staying until the 17th :). While I'm there I'm FINALLY getting to go to Disney World and I'm literally so excited! I can't wait for these next two weeks to fly by!!
I'm nervous about flying on my own, but I'll be okay. :)
I'm so happy that I'll be getting to see my family. It has been almost 5 years since I've seen them, which is way too long.

Wake-Up Calls.
The friend that I was talking about in my last post?
Well she just gave me a huge wake-up call.
And even though I just tried to mend our friendship and it didn't work, well I'm not going to let that happen to another friendship of mine.
Because this particular friendship ended because I have no brain to mouth filter. And I HATE that trait of mine.
I don't know how to fix it. But I do know that I'm going to try to work it out. And If you're my friend and you're reading this, if I say some dumbass thing that hurts your feelings. PLEASE TELL ME! I promise that 99.9% of the time, I don't mean it the way it sounded.
I have an issue with speaking before I think. And I come across as a bitch, I'm sure. But I do not mean to. At All. I really hate hurting anyone's feelings. It makes me feel horrible. And i generally cry after someone tells me that I've hurt their feelings, honestly.
I'm vowing to work on that and become more positive, right here, right now. I'm not going to continue on this path I'm on.
So even though I'm crushed that our friendship is over, I at least am going to become a better person now.
I don't have a quote for today. Because I'm too depressed.

Blood is thicker than water.
Today, I lost some friends. I learned that apparently becoming different, means that some people aren't happy to be in my company anymore.
And I cried for a while talking to my mom, who thank goodness was off from work today to comfort me. And after sitting around feeling sorry for myself for a little while, I figured out something. I have real friends that don't make me feel this way. They make me feel beautiful on my worst day. I'm so so thankful for those real friends I have and my family.
The real friends I'm talking about were meant to be my family. God just knew we'd need each other later on instead of right off the bat.
And my mom and I tried to put Ricky's grill together for Father's Day, and when Tony came out to look at it, he quickly fixed all our mistakes. What is it with Guys and being able to put things together, and we just can't? But anyways after 2 more hours Bubba was finally satisfied with his work. And Ricky loves it, too!
So, over all I ended up having a decent day with my family. :)
Tomorrow, we celebrate Tony's 19th birthday. :) I'm excited to make his cake! :)
And I cried for a while talking to my mom, who thank goodness was off from work today to comfort me. And after sitting around feeling sorry for myself for a little while, I figured out something. I have real friends that don't make me feel this way. They make me feel beautiful on my worst day. I'm so so thankful for those real friends I have and my family.
The real friends I'm talking about were meant to be my family. God just knew we'd need each other later on instead of right off the bat.
And my mom and I tried to put Ricky's grill together for Father's Day, and when Tony came out to look at it, he quickly fixed all our mistakes. What is it with Guys and being able to put things together, and we just can't? But anyways after 2 more hours Bubba was finally satisfied with his work. And Ricky loves it, too!

"And so i go where the green grass grows, the weeds are high and the sun hangs low. Look to the sky and I say, hello, Like it's the very first time. It doesn't matter how long it's been. I can talk to God like he's my best friend. Take my heart and lay it down again right there, in a dirt road prayer."

This is country music, and we do.
I would have to say the Thursday night was one of the best nights I've had this year. I went to the CMA Fest with Kaitlin, her grandad and Danielle.
Miranda Lambert. :)
Brad Paisley. :)
We had an incredible line up. Glen Campbell kicked off the show and it was really depressing because he has the early stages of Alzheimer's and after every song he thought he was done. But, he still put on a good show to be his age and his condition. Next was Miranda Lambert. And I love her. She's badass and redneck in the best way. Gunpowder and Lead was by far her best song she performed. It was empowering. :) And, Jason Aldean brought out the real hicks in the crowd when started off with Hick Town. I screamed like a fan girl the whole time he was on stage. lol She's country was my favorite performance of his though.
Lady Antebellum was next, and they were really good too. :)
And then along came Zac Brown Band. They sound almost exactly the same as they do recorded, but the instruments sound better because they get to play around and stuff. Between America the Beautiful and The Devil Went Down to Georgia, I got goosebumps all over and teared up. They are by far the best I've seen live. And in the end of No Hurry when he says "And get right with the Lord" And pretty much everyone pointed up to the sky, it was so awesome! I can't begin to describe how happy I felt.
After them, Mr. Brad Paisley came out, who I also love. And the title of this post is a lyric from his song Country Music. Which was my favorite performance from him.
And after all of that, and the All for the Hall concert is also making my decision about this. I've decided that country music fans really are the best. I listen to all different kinds of music. From Jason Mraz to Nickelback. Granted I've only been to two non country music concerts, but I still think that country fans are the most supportive and I feel like the country music business is less dog-eat-dog than the rest of the music industry, but that's just my opinion. :)
Miranda Lambert. :)
Brad Paisley. :)

I don't like production.
Dear men across the road clearing out the forest for the water lines, you suck.
Seriously, we came back from the mountains, and BOOM no more trees across the road. WHAT?! Apparently you need a ridiculous amount of clear land for water lines. Well you know what? No one on this road is even getting the water lines because it is expensive.
And you know what else? It sounds like little animals hopes and dreams are being grind-ed away with everything they do over there. It is SO loud.
I honestly couldn't even sit on the porch and read like I usually do. Nor could I go to my happy place for peace and quiet.
I live in the country for a reason, I like peace and quiet. I do not like trees being torn down.
They should be done pretty soon though, and then it'll be back to quiet. Though with less trees, and thus less little animals to see.
Which is pretty depressing.
But on a bright note, I've decided to start putting quotes at the end of my blogs.
"You wanna lose weight? Stop eating ya fatty! You want lots of money? Work your ass off, lazy! You wanna be happy? Then find someone you like and never let them go." - Friends With Benefits.
- Kimberlee. :)

11 more things. :)
Elizabeth tagged me again. So here we go!
1.If you were to receive 1 million dollars, what would you do?
- Pay off my mom's bills. Buy my dad what he wanted (he wouldn't pay off his bills if I gave him the money). Whatever was left would go to my college fund.
2.If you were to lose a body part and never be able to have it replaced, what would you lose?
- My right pinky finger. I need my left for guitar.
3.If you had to chose one over the other to never see again, would you chose to see you best friend over your sibling?
- My best friends are like my siblings. I can't do that. I love them all too much.
4.Are you an optimist or a pessimist and why?
- Both. Sometimes I'm totally negative, and sometimes I'm really sunshiney.
5.What are you willing to die for?
- My family and a friends of course.
6.What makes a true friend?
- A true friend is someone who comes straight to your house when something is wrong. Someone that you can go a huge length of time without talking to and pick up where you left off. Someone that loves you despite your crappy qualities that we all possess.
7.Who is your favorite celebrity and why?
- SO MANY. Zooey Deschanel because she is an amazing person. Paul Walker because he is also amazing and I have wanted to marry him since I saw Fast and Furious in the 3rd grade. Brantley Gilbert. Taylor Swift. And if Bethany Hamilton counts, she's probably the most inspiring person to my life.
8.What is your favorite book and why?
- Hard question. I love so many books. Probably the Last Song. I loved that book. I've re-read it a few times.
9.Is lying okay
- Sometimes you just have to lie. Others, the truth is better.
10.Is Nutella pronounced (new-tella) or (nut-ella)?
- NUT-ella.
11.When you die, where are you going?
- Heaven. :) I really hope. Someday I will ask God all the questions.
Hearts and my new Titanic poster thing. :)

11 things.
Sara (Knocked Askew) Tagged me in this game :)
Rules Are:
#1 You must post these rules.
#2You must post 11 things about yourself.
#3 You must answer the question that the tagger set for you in their post and create 11 new questions for people you tag to answer.
#4 You must tag 11 people to do this meme and tell them on their blog.
My 11 Things
1. If you could only save one happy memory, knowing the rest of your memory would be erased, what memory would you choose? Oh! :) That's a ridiculously hard question that you have to answer. Choose wisely, young grasshoppers :)
- SO HARD!!! And I know it came from a part of City of Lost Souls too! lol So, actual answer is, I couldn't. One memory is not worth the rest of them. But if I was in a horrible car accident and all I could remember when I woke up? It'd probably be My mom, step-dad, brother and my Dad in the same room laughing and having real conversations. I love those kinds of times. They're very rare.
2. What is your ideal fictional character boyfriend or girlfriend? And DO NOT say anything relating to Twilight. If you do, you are henceforth banned from being tagged in any cool blog game :) Haha jk... mostly.
- Logan Thibault. Though, it does go against my no military, or former military rule. BUT He is amazing. And I love how strong he is.
3. Favorite movie quote of all time?
- Another hard one! I love way too many movies. Probably would have to be, "And most of all, I'm scared of walking out of this room, and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I do when I'm with you." - Dirty Dancing.
4. Favorite flavor of candy?
- Don't really have one. But Dove chocolate is my favorite!!
5. If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?
- I've always loved the name Noelle. That's my mom's middle name. But, I think Kimberlee suits me better.
6. What is one thing you want to accomplish in life?
- Help other people. I don't want to live selfishly as the majority of people in this world do.
7. One thing you regret and would love to change about your past?
- I would like to change some things. But I wouldn't. They've made me who I am today.
8. Most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you in front of a crush?
- A friend of mine asking out someone that I had a crush on right in front of me and he said I quote, "Little nubby? No." Yeah. It was just FANTASTIC. Granted that guy is an idiot and I was in the 6th grade.
9. One thing you wish you could change about your appearance if anything?
- I just wish I didn't have so many zits. So, clearer skin.
10. Do you believe in true love? If so, why?
- I do. Firmly. I refuse to believe we were meant to be with the wrong people all our lives. I'll find him one day. :)
11. Favorite type of day?
- Sunny. With a light breeze. About 80. :)

Gatlinburg is being awesome :)
The ride up was long. We got lost trying to get to our cabin. Because there wasn't there is a Foothill road and a Foothills road. We left off the s the first time and it took like an extra hour to find it. lol But we finally did :)
Yesterday we went hiking. It was my first time hiking, we got in the river. :) it was super fun! Today we chilled all day and then went to downtown Gatlinburg and shopped, and ate at a really good mexican restaurant! I got a cute shirt. I also got a mustache ring which makes me super happy!
Tomorrow we're going to the Titanic museum i'm so excited!!! :D
Here's some pics :)

Breaking Tradition.
My whole life, on memorial day weekend Friday, I've been packing to go to the beach. However this Friday, I'm packing to go to Gatlinburg.
It's a weird feeling, not being so ecstatic that I can't sleep and knowing I'll be waking up at 4 in the morning to ride to Panama City Beach. Instead, I am excited to go to the mountains. And who knows, maybe I'll love it just as much as the beach (Very, very doubtful but possible.) The last time we went I was 2. So I don't remember it.
I'm excited to go to the Titanic museum the most, probably. It's supposed to be really cool. I'm also excited about hiking for the first time. And floating in the river. I'm really really excited at the amount of pictures I will be taking. Lots of nature means lots of pictures. :) So, I'll keep you guys posted with pictures I'm sure. I'm taking my laptop. :)
Hearts and new adventures. :)

Hey, I miss you.
I'm not going to say who this post is about. Mostly because I'm not good at expressing my feelings, and I'm afraid of what this person might say. But, knowing this person, she's pretty smart. She'll probably figure out it's about her. And to that, I'm leaving the ball in your court, friend.
I miss you. I miss us staying up till 5 in the morning talking about absolute nonsense. Crying on your shoulder. Last school year, we were so so close. But sometime between mid summer last year and this school year. We stopped hanging out like we did. We just drifted apart. I don't know whose fault it is. I don't know if it's because of the worst decision I've ever made in my life, because that' s what my mom thinks. She thinks that's when things changed? And is she right? Maybe. I don't blame you for worrying about me. You had every right to. I don't know what happened to my brain. But I do know that we talked about it and you said you were just happy nothing bad happened.
Or is it because you just got sick of me? I don't know. I couldn't tell you what happened. But I do know that I miss our friendship so much. I miss hanging out at your house. I miss you coming to my family functions. You are truly one of the best friends I've ever had and I want that back. You made me realize it's okay to be weird, dorky person that I am. You're one of the bravest people that I've ever met. And I admire you so much for expressing yourself the way that you do. You're going to make all your dreams come true, I'm sure of that.
Well, girlfrand, I love you. And just wanted to get that off my chest.

I'm not gonna cry, not gonna shed one single happy or sad tear.
The title to his post is from a song that was in the Senior video. As most of you know, my brother graduated from high school on Saturday morning.
That in of itself is so surreal to me. Even watching him, my best friend Brittney, my brother's best friends, walk up to that podium and hear their name, and see them get their diploma, was just surreal. It still hasn't hit me. It hasn't really set in that I will no longer listen to his music on the way to school. That I will no longer scream at the top of my lungs for him at a football game. That I will no longer see him at school, get arrgravated waiting on him in the parking lot.
None of his friends will ever mess with me in the halls of Forrest high school ever again. I've always wished I could've been in their class. Always. With my select few friends, I would have loved to graduate alongside them this year. I don't like my class. My class is cliques galore. Tony's class is unified. Even the people that aren't friends really talk to one another. They love each other. My class is not like that. I could honestly care less about the majority of my class. I love some of them, but really, I don't really care.
And that's bad, I know. I shouldn't feel that way. I love school, and I love pep rallies and I love the atmosphere of games. But I can't help but feel like that most of what makes me love it so much will be gone with Tony not there.
Everyone loves Tony. He had high school in the palm of his hand. He was on the football team, got voted Best All Around by his classmates, graduated with honors. Everyone knows who he is. For the longest time, I was known as "Johnson's little sister" and that was perfectly okay with me. He's a good person to be known for. He's the kind of brother anyone would wish for.
It's going to be beyond weird when August rolls around, and I'll be a Junior and I'll be driving myself to school. He won't be there. Neither will any of his friends. Well, when I say his friends I mean the ones that are always at my house and that are like my own brothers. I'm going to miss them all so much. Granted none of them are going very far and I'll still see them on a regular basis. But still it'll be weird especially once football starts.
And so, I'm going to leave you with this. Cherish these last few years we have without responsibility and building homecoming floats, and helping people jump start their old cars in the parking lot after school. Cause those are the things you'll remember.
Hearts and big brothers.

You'll never know.
Before I start out with this post, I'm just gonna say that I have a million post ideas at the moment, but I'm going to pick the easy way out and go with this, an idea that my dear friend Sara borrowed from another blogger that I am now borrowing. :)
It's 20 things you'd never say to people to their face, but you can't say who it is.
- You deserve so, so much more than he's ever going to give you. I hope you see that before it's too late.
- I'm beyond happy that we've become such good friends, and so sorry that I was too stupid to see how wonderful you are before.
- I feel like I'm not a part of "our" group anymore. I feel like that I'm just a tag-along.
- You're not the person I thought you were. You're stuck up and spoiled.
- Stop needing everyone's approval. You're beautiful, you're just too busy piling on a lot of fakeness for you to notice. And for the love of God, pick one guy.
- I miss our friendship more than words can express. You give the best hugs.
- You're turning into a beautiful woman and I'm so happy that I get to watch you grow up.
- You're one of the happiest people I've ever met. You'll find a guy that will give you the world, just like you deserve.
- Honey, the real world is not glitter and singing. Your dreams are far too high to fit your reality.
- You say all you want is to get out of this town, and yet you are so naive that the rest of the world would eat you for breakfast.
- Life really isn't that bad. You have a good life, you're just too focused on the negative to see that.
- I'm sorry I treat you like crap sometimes, you hold this family together.
- I want your approval so badly.
- I don't know why I'm still holding onto you. You obviously don't see any hope for us.
- You could've been a good man. But you let bad things influence you, and you became exactly like your father.
- You made me realize a lot about life. And how naive I was.
- I can't believe you can sit there and do something like that when you have two precious babies and a husband that need you so much.
- You are the most annoying person on the planet, and high school will be the only good time in your life.
- I cried when I read what you wrote in my yearbook last year, so much has changed and I didn't even realize it.
- You're a beautiful person, but you need to embrace the fun side of life and stop being so up tight.
Hearts and saying how you really feel.
- Kimberlee.

So many memories, so little time to make them.
Today, we moved classes. Which, for those of you that don't know, that means the seniors moved to the floor on the gym, and all the other classes move to their new spot in the gym for next year.
And I remember in middle school when it was so exciting to do that, and today all I felt was sad. My brother, best friend, and his best friends, who are like my brothers, are graduating this year. And you know what that means? I only have two good years left with my best friends to make memories.
I love my friends so much. We already have great memories with this little time we've had in high school. I know they're only going to get better now that we can drive and see each other whenever we want. I'm excited for that. But I also dread when it won't be like that anymore.
My brother and his friends are even closer than my group, they've spent nearly every weekend together since Freshman year. Plus, they all played football together which makes their bond even stronger. I'm so sad to see them go.
They're not even going far. The majority of them are going to MTSU, which is like 40 minutes from here. That doesn't matter though, because it'll never be the same. They'll never dress up all crazy for homecoming together, they'll never walk on that football field in their pads and jerseys, they'll never cheer at a pep rally together again.
Which is depressing. I can't imagine being them right now. I'm going to be in their shoes in two short years and I'm terrified. They're going to be great though.
Hearts and high school memories.

Expectations.
I think that my generation expects far too much from our parents, and not only do they expect it, but they don't appreciate it.
Now, before I get into this I know that not all kids are thinks, I have friends of mine that their parents pay for everything and they totally appreciate it. But for the most part, they have no clue.
I can't tell you how many people I've heard just bitching about not getting their driver's license on the day of their birthday. I turned 16 January 17th. I won't be getting my license till the end of this month, cause my mom had to finish paying for her car before she could pick me up on her insurance.
For those of you that don't know, my mom struggles. My dad doesn't help out very much.
When I do get my car, which will be in June, I fully intend on getting a job. And guess what? I have to pay for every drop of my gas, just like my brother did. Just like everyone should in my opinion. It's different if you take your little brother or sister to school, I think because that's a trip that your parents don't have to make anymore. But if they're going to the same school as you, than tough crap because if they gave you your car you should at least pay for your gas.
I also think it's ridiculous that our parents take out second mortgages to pay for college. I have to pay for my own college, my parents can't afford to send me. I have to get scholarships, grants, and student loans. My parents are going to help me pay for stuff, yes, but they're not going to pay my tuition or anything like that, because they can't. They do all they can to help my brother and I and we appreciate that.
I feel like for the most part though, people are just ungrateful and don't give a crap anymore. And that bothers me so much. So, next time stop and think before you start to complain about how you didn't get that thing that means nothing that you just had to have.
Hearts and appreciating your parents!

Now, before I get into this I know that not all kids are thinks, I have friends of mine that their parents pay for everything and they totally appreciate it. But for the most part, they have no clue.
I can't tell you how many people I've heard just bitching about not getting their driver's license on the day of their birthday. I turned 16 January 17th. I won't be getting my license till the end of this month, cause my mom had to finish paying for her car before she could pick me up on her insurance.
For those of you that don't know, my mom struggles. My dad doesn't help out very much.
When I do get my car, which will be in June, I fully intend on getting a job. And guess what? I have to pay for every drop of my gas, just like my brother did. Just like everyone should in my opinion. It's different if you take your little brother or sister to school, I think because that's a trip that your parents don't have to make anymore. But if they're going to the same school as you, than tough crap because if they gave you your car you should at least pay for your gas.

Sarah's Key
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in sooo long! I've been super busy with everything lately.
So right now I'm reading Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay. She's a French author. We watched this movie in my French class, and it was really good.
I saw the book at Target and I bought it. Right now I'm on page 64. It's so sad. It's about the Velodrome d'Hiver roundup in 1942 in France. Which just recently the French admitted to having concentration camps of their own. Most French people don't even know about it. There was over 4,000 children killed from France. about 13,000 French people were taken to Auschwitz and never came back.
The book is about a little girl who gets taken to the camps and locks her little brother in the closet at home to be safe when they got arrested, not knowing they'd never see their house again. You also follow the story of the American journalist that found this story. She now lives in the apartment the little girl and the family lived in, with her French husband.
But anyway, the little girl describes everything, and everyone knows how horrible the Holocaust was.
The American woman gets upset because she thinks her husband's family had something to do with the family getting arrested, because her husband's grandparents bought the apartment shortly after the family was taken.
And she can't fathom the idea of willingly sending innocent people to their imminent death.
Which made me think, what would I do? If I were in that situation, and someone told me that if I didn't tell them where these people were, then I myself, and my family would die. Then would I sacrifice me, and the people I love the most for the greater good? And the answer is, I don't know. Either way people would be dying, and that fact alone would make it so difficult. I guess I would see what my family wanted to do, and if they were okay with us all dying together, I guess I could live with that. Because if you're alone, then life is nothing. I'd rather die with my family, than live with a guilty conscience my whole life.
And if my family wasn't willing to die for another family? Then I don't know. I can't put myself in that situation, I honestly don't know.
So, the question is, what would you have done?
Hearts and doing the right thing.

Sorry I've been MIA.
So, I haven't been posting hardly at allll lately. I just haven't had much to post about or it's been stuff I didn't know how to post about, which I know, is always my excuse. But it's a legit one, I swear.
First off, I was having a good weekend, up until this morning. Last night and yesterday were amazing. I was in the beauty pageant, although I didn't place I had a lot of fun. here's a pic of my formal wear. :)
Afterwards, I went to Sara's birthday party and had a blast! I was sad I missed the beginning, but it was super fun while I was there.
But this morning, I woke up to my parent's fighting.
And my mom has been super stressed out lately because of my Pawpaw(her dad) has cancer and is extremely sick and my Memay is acting absolutely ridiculous about it. I don't even know how to describe my grandmother. She's gone completely insane since Pawpaw has gotten sick.
And my stepdad doesn't understand. And so, that's why they're having problems.
So that brings me to why I'm almost in tears, my memay called me demanding I come help with pawpaw's hospital bed, because apparently she can't make up a twin size bed? I went up there. I made up the bed. And my pawpaw doesn't even remotely look the man I remember. He hasn't eaten since December. Cause he has throat cancer, and they burned his throat in radiation, and it hasn't fully healed yet. So he's dropped like 50lbs. and he's not under weight now, he just used to be really heavy, and that's just how he was. And he's afraid if he eats, he'll throw up, and he's sick of throwing up. And if he doesn't eat soon... then we're going to lose him... and I don't know what we'll do with my memay. But I know that my mom, and me and my brother will go insane, because she can't do a damn thing on her own. And it will be awful. So before I start really crying, I'm going to get off here and watch my show and try to cheer up.

Nothin' but the blood of Jesus. :)
My friend Elizabeth has been singing that church hymn all week long in 2nd block. :) She is amazing. :)
She gave me a cd with the entire Bible on it, and devotionals. :) I'm pretty excited about it.
For those of you that didn't know, I'm a Christian, but I haven't given my life to Christ yet, and it's something i really want to do. But, I want to be a real Christian before I do that. I want to actually be a good person and feel good about what I'm doing.
I've tried to strengthen my relationship with God before, and every time I do it at first, and then stop after awhile. Now I'm going to actually stick to it. :) Although I haven't found a good church like I want to, so badly! There's not really any good churches in my town, and my mom doesn't want to get up early on a Sunday and drive somewhere, so yeah. So, I'm making this promise, to God, to you guys, that I'm going to become a good Christian and put Him first. :)
In other news, I'm sorry for not blogging hardly at all lately! I just haven't had anything exciting going on. Lots of things should be happening fairly soon though, so I'll keep you updated. :)

Sick :(
First off, I'm sorry for not posting in way too long!
I just haven't had anything really going on in my life.
I have been sick for the last three days. It started off with the stomach virus, and now it's strep, I think. I'm going to the dr today at one thirty and we'll see. Let's cross our fingers for no strep so i can go to school tomorrow! Because I'm going to have an ungodly amount of make up work that stresses me out just thinking about it.
The main reason I wanted to make this post though, was because my mom's friend's son has been diagnosed with this awful disease called Chronic Pain Region Syndrome. Which sounds awful in itself, right? He's a year younger than me. And he tweaked his knee in football, but now he's in Vanderbilt having his third surgery in four days. Yeah, I said three. My mom wants me to become friends with him to be a positive influence in his life, cause I've kind of been there. But, really, I haven't, at all. I know what cause my problem, and how to stop pain. He doesn't.. .he's in constant pain and they can't figure out how to stop it. And he could eventually lose all use of his leg, and it could disfigure his leg. I can't relate to that. I've only had to stay over night in the hospital once. Which I barely remember because I was 8. So I feel bad even complaining about being sick today, because at least I'm not going through that. Because it could be even worse. A lot worse.
So, I'm trying not to complain, because every time I do that's what I think of, and then I feel awful.
Sorry for this post kind of being all over the place!
Hearts and positive thinking!

Movie Review: The Vow.
I give it five stars. My expectations for that perfect guy that we all want, is now out the roof, thank you, Channing Tatum. Seriously, I want a guy that brings me a box of tissues when I'm sick at work, with an adorable picture of him, and lingerie, while standing in the pouring rain, might I add.
I went from crying to being happy in about two seconds during the movie. The ending was great. Oh, and Ladies!(Or gay guys) You get to see Channing Tatum's butt! and he's shirtless quite a few times. :)
Ultimately, though after the end of the movie, I felt depressed, because they had that love that everyone wants. Yes, I know I'm sixteen, and no, I don't think I'm going to meet my soul mate yet, but it'd be nice to have someone.
So, how was your V-day? :) And if you're single, definitely go see The Vow, because it is amazing. :)
Hearts and Channing Tatum's butt :)

Dream Land
I just watched this video
Which is weird, because I was just talking about dreams with one of my friends today. Last night, I had this weird dream, that a ghost was trying to kill me, because her husband was in this house I was in, and I was sleeping there, and she thought I was trying to take her husband away from her.
Also, I had another dream last night that my mom text me and said that she saw The Vow, and I thought that that actually happened when I woke up, but when I looked back through my messages, that wasn't there and she didn't see it. I dream ordinary every day things a lot, but I also have weird dreams that could never happen.
That video made me think of Sara, too. Because she always has these crazy dreams. So, I'm challenging you, gurlfrand! Tell us your craziest dream that you can remember :)
Hearts and dreams.

English class.
Today, in English we talked about the book we read, The Giver by Lois Lowry. And that book is awesome.
It's about so many things. But the main thing I took away from it was, you can't forget the bad things that happened just because they're bad. You have to remember them because they're bad, so they don't happen again.
I love books that make you think like that. I really hope that Ms. Bibb gets approved for her Contemporary Lit class next year, because I would love that class!
In other news, I have a foot pedal for my nonexistent car, but that means that I'm closer to a car and my license!! :D
Hearts and good books.

Twoo Love. (Princess Bride)
Today I was told that "We're not penguins, we don't mate for life."
And I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that. I believe that most people are with the wrong people, and try to stay with people because of what they once had, or in some cases, never had. I definitely believe that we soul mates, and most of us aren't lucky enough to find them.
I can only hope and pray that I'll find mine. I'm saying this because, I've seen true love before my eyes that literally has lasted a lifetime. And yes, they fought, and got angry but making up is the best part, I've seen more love in my life at 16 than most people get to witness. I'm blessed to know quite a few people that have lasted. My Uncle Buddy and Aunt Ruth being one of them. They were the cutest little old couple anyone ever saw. Mark and Shelia Porter met when they were 14 and are now 50 and still look at each other with all the love in the world.
Now, maybe you don't believe this, but I'm a hopeless romantic and I'm waiting on that good, sweet, guy that will make my world one day. A day very far from now, because I don't want to be in a serious relationship. I'm not ready to be. I'd like to go on a date, have fun, and maybe even get kissed for the first time, but hey, I'm not rushing at all. I have my whole life ahead of me.

Friends. :)
I wanted to post this last night, but of course, my internet wasn’t working. I realized today how much happier and better off I am since I met my amazing friends that I have now, and embraced my inner nerd and awkwardness. I know I’ve always been awkward and silly. But until I met my current friends, I tried to fit in with other people, and tried to be like them because I just wanted to belong. In middle school, and I’ll probably post an entire back story on it, I pretty much just did whatever everyone else did because I wanted friends, because at the time, I was having a lot of family trouble and I needed friends. But looking back on it, until 8th grade, I only had two real friends, and that was Kaitlin and Brittney. In eighth grade when I met, well I’d met them before, but became friends with Sara, Elizabeth, Paige, and Dylan is when I realized that they liked me because of who I was. Not because of who I was trying to be to fit in with them. I never tried to be someone else with them, not once. (I never did with Kaitlin either, and Brittney I’ve known since I was born.) I’ve always been able to tell them exactly how I feel without worrying. And I can’t tell you guys how much that means to me. When I sit in class, in front of Sally, who I wanted to be friends with at one point, and hear what she says in Honors English, and I get excited that I get to read a new book and think about it, I wonder how different I’d be if we hadn’t had Mr. Holt’s class together(besides Paige and Elizabeth, but Paige sat with us at lunch, and I don’t really remember when I became good friends with Elizabeth.) I think I would’ve turned out a lot more ignorant, because you guys are so much more mature than everyone our age. I think we all are. We’ve realized that high school matters because it gets us to college, and that definitely matters. We all actually try and don’t piss and moan every time we get an assignment.
You guys are there for me anytime I need you. Even when I’ve made a huge stupid decision, you ride it out with me. Or when I just need to vent about the idiots that I’ve come in contact with that day. I know that sometimes I’m hard to get along with, and have made horrible decisions when it comes to guys, but y’all are always, always, there no matter what. I can’t even begin to thank you or tell you how much I love y’all. You all deserve your own post because I love you all in different and awesome ways, and you just might get it, but for now, thank you and I love y’all so much!!!

Stupid, stupid people.
Lately, I have been noticing that there are so many freaking idiots.
For instance, everyday, there are people in my honors english class that just sit there, complaining every time we get an assignment. That class is not that difficult, it's really not even that much work.
And in my geometry class, which trust me, I hate as much as the next person, there are people that just sit there when we have time to work on homework. It makes me so freaking mad. You can get by in that class if you just try. That's what I do, I try. And I don't have the best grade in there, but I'm passing. And I plan on bringing my grade up, because you can retake things.
And, the area where my locker is, there's three couples, always making out, always. For the love of god people, STOP making out in front of my locker! It's so annoying. lol
Sorry for the rant, but I just needed it.

great weekend. :)
Last week, I was sick, and felt like sleeping the entire time i wasn't at school.
But, thank goodness, by the time yesterday rolled around I was feeling much better to have my birthday party.
I seriously had soo much fun. My friends are amazing, and I love them so much. :)
We stayed up till like, I don't know, at least 3 in the morning, talking about everything. Because that's what best friends do. :)
And today, one of those amazing friends got treated like crap by a stupid boy.
Sorry, guys if you're reading this, but most of you are stupid butt holes. I've met very few actually sweet guys. And, this girl we're talking about? Deserves the very best. I know that Sara already posted an entire poem about it, and girl, if you're reading this, she's right! A thousand million percent right. You deserve a guy that brings you flowers, or plays pokemon with you when you've had a bad day.
You're one of the happiest people I know and don't let him ruin that!
That goes for all of my friends, we're not gonna let each other be treated badly. I told you last night, next time, slap me in the face when I like an idiot that's not good for me! I value y'all a billion times more than any guy. (unless of course it's a one night stand with Kellan Lutz, I'd just have to repent for that :P haha I'm kidding.) :)
So, Captain Sunshine, we love you gurlfrand! Keep your head up :)

So, Captain Sunshine, we love you gurlfrand! Keep your head up :)
Hearts and good friends.

Just keep smiling.
Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days. It's been an extremely long weekend, and two days.
Yesterday, we laid my Nana to rest. On my 16th birthday. It was happy and sad.
Happy, because, she's not hurting anymore. And, I got oreo balls as a cake substitute. lol
So, even when I feel sad. I try to keep smiling because Nana always had a smile on her face.
Sorry, I'm super tired, and I can't think straight.
So, i'm gonna go study.
Night.

Nana.
Dear Nana,
You are one of the strongest, and most determined people I have ever been blessed to know. You brought two amazing people into this world that I could never imagine my life without. You fought every day of your all too short life. 52 is too young. You should at least get to meet your new grandbaby on the way. But i know that you will. That you'll be with us, every day. And that you wouldn't want us to be so sad. And that you'll never be in pain again. But we'll never be able to have a get together with your designated spot at your dining room table, with a chair there, and not think that you should be there in your power chair.
but now you're with people that you've missed, people that you've wanted to meet. Say hi to William for me, would you? Granny and Papa have their baby girl back.
But Memay is the oldest sibling, and she buried you and Uncle Tony. And i just think that is so sad. I think it's awful for Mindy to have to lose you right now, a mom is your savior. That's what a mom always is. If nothing is going right and there's no one to talk to? There's always Mama. and now Mindy has to become a mother without a mother, and I think that's pitiful. I couldn't imagine losing my mom. Granted, until today, I've never really lost anyone close to me. And I know I'll get through it, I know we'll all get through it. We'll maybe even become closer because of it. That'd be what you want. You hated people fighting. Especially us. i don't know if I'll be able to go see Breaking Dawn Part 2, now. You were the one that got us all tickets every year, we ate dinner/lunch together and had a Sweeney Lane Girls Day. And they were so fun.
I'll never forget sleeping at your house all the time from 4th grade up until Mindy got married. I practically lived there. You always made the best bacon and biscuits. Actually, I never ate anything that you made and didn't like. Football games, will never be the same without you. You would always be like the only person in the stands cheering along with the cheerleaders. You are the most dedicated Rocket fan there ever was.
I can't believe you won't be there on my birthday. I don't want to lay you to rest on my birthday, I just don't. But there's really no other way to do it. You gave the best hugs.
I know you're in a better place now, but no one will ever replace your kindness in this world.
I love you, Nana.

I miss last semester.
I miss not having hard homework. I miss having a good math teacher, because my geometry teacher is not nearly as good as my last math teacher. So, Mrs. Martin, if you ever read this(which you won't) I'd rather have ten pages of homework and good notes than crap notes and one page of homework...
And... i really can't think that much about anything else right now, cause my brain is dead.
Hearts and good math teachers

College.
Today, we moved my stepsister in to UT Martin. And the whole time, I kept thinking that I'll be doing that in 2 and half years, I'll be doing that. And we hugged her bye and everything. And I just kept thinking that I'd be bawling my eyes out, when my parents leave me for the first time like that. I'd be scared and excited at the same time.
and that in 6 months or so, we'll be doing that with my brother. It's crazy how fast time goes by.
Sorry about the short post today, but i'm super tired and about to go to bed!

Blah.
I feel like that today. I just feel like crap for no reason.. Do you ever have days where you feel like crying and you don't even know why?
Today's one of those days for me. And nothing bad has happened at all. I got sad last night getting pictures for Tony and Brittney's scrapbooks for graduation. But I didn't cry, I didn't even let myself think about it for a long time. So, I really don't know why I feel like crap. My new years resolution, one of them, is to be more positive. And, here I am being mopey for no reason at all.
So, let's think on the bright side. I'll be 16 in 10 days and my party is two weeks from today, which is going to be so much fun and I can't wait.
This song just came on my Pandora, "That rebel moon is shinin', those stars burn like diamonds, hell bent on chasin' down that crazy slope, i'll follow you you're leading, to the first sweet taste of freedom, i've got forever on the tip of my tongue." I lovee that song.
It's by Gloriana. :)
Hearts and good, happy, music.

Not so bad.
Today was kind of a rollercoaster, it started out good. Then it got bad. Then it got better. lol
English isn't gonna be bad, I'm just gonna have to try, which I like doing as opposed to useless crap. Theater should be fun but we have some crappy people in there that aren't gonna try.
French, will suck. We have a bunch of idiots in there, and our teacher is going to hate us, that's how geometry is going to be too. Plus, hard.
I don't have much else to talk about, sooo sorry about the short and crappy post today!
Hearts and having to try.

New Semester.
Tomorrow, the new semester starts. And, I'm excited to see my friends, and have Theater 2 and French 2.
But, Honors English is gonna be hard. I think the reason I'm having issues with it now, is cause of stupid Lord of the Flies, none of that book stuck with me. It just pissed me off because it was so boring and hard to read.
Well not hard to read, I just didn't like the way it was written. So, yeah. And Geometry is going to suck soo bad. I don't even know if I have anyone in there, and I hate math so much.
On the bright side, Theater is going to be so much fun! And so is French because I have it with Dylan and Paige. :)
But, I have a really strong feeling this semester is going to go by all too fast. And adulthood and the real world are approaching for the seniors everyday. And it scares the hell out of me, and I'm not even a senior. But I have a sister and 5 brothers in that class, and I'm going to be so sad to see them graduate. Well, I'll be happy for them, but sad, because they're leaving. Well, I don't think my brother will be going very far. Or I hope not.
Today, I got the top to my leg. And my leg guy, who I've been going to since I was about 5, was being hilarious. lol And, I finally figured what to do with my old legs, I'm going to bring them back to him, because he takes the old parts to legs, for people that don't have insurance and stuff to use. Although, most of my legs are pretty battered. lol
I'm gonna stop rambling now :)
Hearts and old leg parts!

Shopping!
So, since I don't have anything to blog about today, I thought i'd show you guys what I got shopping today!
And, share a few stories from the day, so I guess I techinically do have something to blog about!
I got this hoodie at Forever 21, and I love it! It's so comfy! :)
I also love this shirt, which I got at Body Central. :)
Andd I got this necklace at Claire's :)
I also got underwear at Aerie, but you don't get to see that. lol
While we were eating lunch Katie said that sign says natural lemonade, as you know, opposed to fake lemonade. lol And this girl took a picture of it cause she thought it was funny. lol
And we also went to this western store(not my choice) cause Katie wanted to go. And I was bored to death there, there was some pretty hideous stuff there..
So, that was pretty much my day! It was pretty good overall though :)
Sorry this post sucked!

Class > Trash.
This morning, my mom text me and said "I'm glad your brother isn't going out with ______, (you don't need to know her name, but those of you that know me, will know exactly who i'm talking about.) Go look on so and so's page and see what she's saying. I know you think your life is boring, but I'm glad you're not like those girls, Kimbo."
It's kind of a big deal that she said that, because for the past two years, I've been saying I want to do things more, and she always told me to make more friends and do them. I have amazing friends, but we all do our separate things most of the time, I think that will change once we can all drive. :) But anyways, and I've told her, I don't want to be friends with the other girls at our school, well not this specific group of people that I used to be friends with, they're stupid and dramatic, and to be frank, easy, and trashy.
My mom saw this post of this girl, cussing out another girl, and it turned into a fight about class, and being trashy. And, if any of you saw this on Facebook, then it's obvious that they're both trashy and ignorant, and it just proved that by the fight they're getting in. They were both dropping the F bomb every two words. Which don't get me wrong, I cuss, but I don't do that, and I'd NEVER do it on facebook where I'm friends with a bunch of a adults. That's what my mom was saying, that she was saying, that this girl is friends with a bunch of adults and she's just plastering it all over the place. It's not cool.
I'd much rather sit at home on a Saturday night texting my friends, reading, watching movies, hanging with my family, and be a 'loser' than go to a party and get wasted like this group of people we're talking about do.
So, here's to being classy!

Thoughts from yesterday and today.
1. Right after i posted yesterday, Vanderbilt lost at the end of their game. And i had an awful flashback of the last 9.6 seconds of our football season this year. When we lost. I'm not going to go into detail because i posted a very lengthy blog about it after it happened. But, i seriously teared up thinking about it. I wondered when i'd see a team lose that deserves the win, that i won't flashback to that night..
2. I love my little cousins so much. They're so cute.
3. My little cousin Akin has the best manners. He knocked every time he wanted to come in my room and see what me and Austin were doing. lol
4. Close families fight too much.
5. I was perfectly happy with not having anyone to kiss. I kissed the cutest baby in the world instead. Which is better than any boy any day of the week.
6. A few minutes after the ball dropped my mom said, "2012, the year Tony graduates and Kimberlee turns 16." I think that's exactly what this year is for her. No mother wants there kids to grow up, well, they want us to live, they just liked us better as kids, because they don't feel like we should already be growing up. My memay says i should be 4 and tony should be 6. I don't feel like we should be this old yet really, either.
7. My new year's resolution is to get in shape and be more positive. :)
How was your new years? What's your resolution? :)
