Lately, I have been really in touch with this psychic side of me that I had no idea I possesed. Yeah, I know how corny does that sound, right? But it's kind of freaky. What with all the dreams, and where that got me, and now being able to know exactly what someone says before they do, alllllll the time now; is a bit odd. What can I say, I guess I'm just a freak! :) Oh well, could be worse.

Well, needless to say, a lot has happened since I last posted.

First of all, my journal suddenly changed...hmm, i wonder what loving best friend would do that for me...Brianna, DUH! Hehe!

Lately, things have been quite...well...all over the place really. I haven't had time to see my friends. :( I miss them. Especially Brianna. I've had so many awesome times with that girl and i love her almost as much as I do Kevin. (Man I hate danglin'! Inside Joke hehe!) Kevin and I are IBO's now. Woot! We actually pulled Chad Menefee on as a partner, too. We're way excited. We've already turned a profit in the first month! So needless to say business is great.

Christmas is coming around obviously and I'm happy to say that I'm really in the holiday mood. It's been really fun so far. Except for the fact that I miss my mom sooooo very much. I'll admit it. Putting up the Christmas tree with Kev and Lee and Amie made me cry thinking of how my mom and I would always do it together. It's my first Christmas without my parents, and for some reason I'm taking it really hard. But other than that, the holiday prospect is generally positive!

I do have to be mushy though. Sorry! But I'm just blown away with the relationship Kevin and I have. It's everything I've expected from a marriage and more. We really love taking care of eachother. And with the whole Christmas without my mom thing. Anytime I've cried all he does is say, "Aww, babe, come here." And pulls me into a loving embrace and comforts me. Tonight he even suggested that we take a trip to visit my mom tomorrow, which was the sweetest thing. I just can't say enough about him!

So for everyone that I'm sure would eventually find out from the wonderful Cedar chain of gossip what I'm about to say, I'm saying it now so everyone can get their damn facts strait. I'm sure everyone knows about me not graduating last year. And I'm sure everyone frowns on that and whatever, but really, I don't care. You have absolutely NO idea what I've been through, and I'm not about to go through the whole list because I 1) That would take to long, 2) I don't want to relive everything, and 3) I don't feel like I should have to; just knowing that it's out of character for me not to have graduated yet is reason enough to know that there's more than what the "gossip chain" thinks they know. *deep breath* Ok, so why I just went over that, you ask? Well, I'm going back to school. To Cedar alternative. Yep, livin' it up with the rejects with the weird ass rainbow fucking walls. Now that I have a HELL of a lot more stable life, I'm going back. I'm sure there are those that are thinking, "Alternative? What, is she crazy?" No actually, I'm sane, thank you, and I'm doing not only myself good but others as well. I know that if I went back to the High School, I'd be kicked out by lunch time for kicking peoples asses that had the audacity to step out of line and make some mean ass comment about me being there. I swear to goshness that I wouldn't hesitate to sock anyone that has a comment about it. Which would also interfere with my work, which I don't have time for. At the alternative, I really don't give a rats ass what they think of me, or what they say to me. I've got a fucking mission and it's going to get done. Plus, the regular high school is all caught up in this he-said-she-said bull shit and who's with who and who's doing what and all the nonsense that really doesn't matter in the real world. It's shit that clouds the mind and dulls the senses. A place where the jocks date the cheerleaders because thats whats done in the movies and their girlfriend is a really easy piece of ass so it doesn't matter if she's annoying as fuck. A place of scandal and drama. And I don't mean the class, I mean the kind that people create because they haven't got a fucking thing better to do with their time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying alternative is going to be like a slice of heaven, trust me I'm not that naieve. Atleast the people there don't care about all that sugar coated bull shit. They'll be too busy swaping drugs to give a shit about what I'm doing. So even though that was long winded, it was something I needed to get off my chest. So there. I said it.

Well, I'm gonna quit here tonight. Maybe more later.

Your Childish Games and Stupidity Amuse Me!
If I had to describe my life right now through music, I'd use these songs. Enjoy!

On the whole Katelyn front:
"Hey, how long till the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth,
I didn't steal your boyfriend,
Hey, how long till you face what's going on?
Cause you really got it wrong,
I didn't steal your boyfriend,
Hey, how long till you look at your own life,
Instead of looking into mine,
I didn't steal your boyfriend,
Hey, how long till you're leaving me alone,
Don't you got somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend"

On the Rumors front:
"You think you know me
Word on the street is that you do
You want my history
What others tell you won't be true

I walked a thousand miles while everyone was asleep
Nobody's really seen my million subtleties

Got stains on my t-shirt and I'm the biggest flirt
Right now I'm solo, but that will be changing eventually, oh
Got bruises on my heart and sometimes I get dark
If you want my auto, want my autobiography
Baby, just ask me

I hear you talking
Well, it's my turn now
I'm talking back
Look in my eyes
So you can see just where I'm at

I walked a thousand miles to find one river of peace
I walked a million more to find out what this shit means

I'm a bad ass girl in this messed up world
I'm the sexy girl in this crazy world
I'm a simple girl in a complex world
Nasty girl, you wanna get with me?
You wanna mess with me?"

Mine and Kevins sex life (hehe, had to put this in here!)
"You can dress me up in diamonds :)
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts

Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

You can meet me on an aero-plane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boomerang
I'll come back and beat you up

Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do

So once again another long gap inbetween actual good, fulfilling, updates. Hmph.

Well, as I am sure that most of you know, Kevin and I are getting married. Although, there have been rumors surrounding this event (of course, its cedar, what am I to expect?). *sighs

Forget the fucking rumors. I'm telling you, Kevin and I are getting married because we are in love, NOT because I am pregnant, which, for the record, I'm NOT. Even though that may be hard for a cedar resident to understand, but these things do happen: people don't always get married because they're forced to because they made some stupid mistake. And if anyone wants to tell us we haven't been together long enough, or we're too young, blah blah blah; save it. It's just going to go in one ear and out the other. We really don't care. The only thing I do care about is stupid people degrading our relationship by saying that we're only together because I'm pregnant. Not cool. I've had enough bullshit with people gossiping and lieing to me, backstabbing and talking behind our backs.

Something else that I have wanted to address was back in August Brie wrote and entry and someone mentioned Katelyn. Brianna replied that Kevins relationship with Katelyn "was a joke". There have been some misconceptions about that. Brianna was only stating that compared to what Kevin feels for me and I for him, and the whole magnitude of our relationship, It was a joke to compare mine and Kevin's relationship to his past with Katelyn.

Whew. Ok, now that all the dirty jobs are done!

Life's been great. I love this new independant me. I didn't end up going to college this fall; I wanted to take a year off and figure out what exactly I want to get out of my expensive college education, and plus, it's nice to relax after 13 years (k-12) of monotony! It's also helped Kevin and I adjust and find our rythyms in life. We've started attending our grandparent's church again, and we've become partners in an e-commerce business called Quixstar.com. It's a really great opportunity that we were fortunate enough to have come across, and the whole prospect is looking great. We basically make money by shopping online. We get paid a certain ammount of money to endorse these products. The company has over 1,000 name brand partners, including Reebok, Nike, Circuit City, Barnes and Noble, just to name a few. If anyone is interested, you can call me or Kevin 835-7000 or 520-3270. It's a really great opportunity. By this time next year, we'll be making $50,000 a year, and it's only 10-15 hrs a week, so we'll be able to have other jobs. It's really worth-while. You just have to be 18 or older, or with parental permission, 17.

Well, I think I'm out for the night. Night all.

Wow...It's been pretty long since I last wrote in this...so much has happened.

Love has come and gone, new friends have been made and old friendships rekindled. I've been kicked out of my house and now live at Brianna's and my grandma's. College plans have been flipped upside down, and turned around. I'm not quite sure if I'm still going to Ferris. My dad won't cosign and I'm 11,000 short for this years tuition and board. Looks like I'll end up going to CC in the spring. *thumbs down. Kevin leaves for basic on August 10th. :( Joey moves to Jenison. Josh, oh who knows what the hell he's up to.

It's been an awesome summer so far. I mean better than anyone could imagine. And the best part is, it just happened. We've all been so spontaneous and carefree, it's so-whats the word-real. Yeah real. It's been so much fun, and it hurts to know that it's coming to an end. I will never ever forget this summer. To the main gang: Brianna Kevin, Lee, Joshua, Joey, Jordan, Chris, Chad. We've made so many awesome memories. I'll never forget my 18th b-day at the cabin. We've had so many awesome times up there! The beach days were a blast, too. I'll never forget the huge waves and the awesome sunsets. To my newer friends: Andy, Danny, Brandon, Jimmy, Randy, Rachel, Kelli, Stuart: I've had so much fun getting to know you all, and the parties were awesome. Hopefully we can keep in contact for the many years to come.
To all: We've truely lived our lives to the fullest this summer. We've lived, laughed, loved, and partied hearty! We really did wild out. I love all of you and will be forever greatful for all the times we've shared, and look forward to making new memories as the time comes and goes.

love u all

Wow...one more week left of High School for everyone. Except me, I'll be staying until May 25th.

Through out my whole life, I've been known to cut things so dangerously close that at the last minute, or second, I manage to pull out of a deadly dive and stay alive. I'm just hoping that this will be one of those times. I've been waiting for this for so long, and I will actually feel like I deserve it...if I can pull it off.

Other than that, I've got college calling me from the near future, and keeping me pressing on. It's not about the education really, just the experience. And definitely the freedom. And getting away from all those fake, drama-infested, immature inhabitants of cedar springs. I'm glad that I've made new friends, and I've weeded out the good and the bad. There is some family that I want to get away from, and prove myself to. I can't wait.

Wow, for some reason today, it just hit me. I'm so excited about college and the whole experience. I figured out what classes I'm taking
Principles in Macroeconomics
Principles in Microeconomics
English 250
Interpersonal Communication
Business 122-Intro to business
Principles of Accounting 1

Yay! Stuff that I actually kind of already understand. I'm definitely psyched!

To finish off my other entry, as most of you know, I got in a lovely car accident. Yippy skippy! I got side swipped by a dumb lady in a MINI VAN (:@), who didn't know she hit me until I followed her to the BP and crawled out the passenger side of my car and told her, at which time she replied, "Oh that was you, I thought I hit the curb." Nope, it was me, sorry I don't think the curb honks and squeals it's tires trying to stop. Geesh. So, needless to say, my car is an absolute piece of shit now, and I absolutely cannot stand it.

Well of course then there is prom...everybody has talked about, so I figure, hey, why the hell not.

It was wonderful. I felt like cinderella, and every one told me I looked like it too! :) Justin was the sweetest, I've never felt more beautiful than he made me feel that night. He would just look at me and I'd ask "What?", and he'd reply as if he was lost in thought "You're absolutely gorgeous." Aww! What a sweet heart. After prom, me, justin, damian, molly, and jeff tackman all went bowling. That was really fun, even though I didn't do very good with my nails! Then it was back to Justin's, where we fell asleep in eachothers arms watching The Notebook. It was soooo perfect, and I'm soo happy to hear that everyone else had such a great time, too. I even made a new friend, Molly. She's such a sweetheart, me and her are going to hang out just us girls sometime soon.

Saturday night was poker, which was awesome because I'm actually getting to play it quite well! I took out 3 guys, all of which thought I didn't know how to play because I was a girl. I love breaking stereotypes!

In other news...school :S Everyone is soooo excited about leaving, but to tell you the truth, I'm not really all that anxious. But then again, I still have until May 25th until I'm out, just to make up absences. Although, after all this making up credits b/s is over with, I think it will be tons easier for me. Then there's Ferris in the fall, along with a lot more freedom from all the responsibility my family wants to hand to me. I know that may sound quite paradoxical, but it's true. I'm going to be far enough away from my families that I don't have to be the most responsible but close enough to visit them on weekends. And of course, I've got friends like Dani Lynn and Jacque and Katie and Shelby and tons more that are going to be up there, too. Plus, my brother is going to Mid Michigan Community College, and I'll be close to him as well. Now if only I could have Justin up there, too. :(

Anyways, I'm completely insomniac tonight, and I think I'm going to watch a movie. I hope all is well with everyone, and goodnight!

So, I've concluded that you don't talk about how many car accidents you've been in without first being within 5 feet of wood that you can knock on, or your day is going to go from shitty to worse in 2 seconds flat. More about my lovely ordeal later. I've got a customer.
