Scared To Let Go Of This Year For I'm Scared Of What's To Come

So nothing really new or exciting has happened. And I have no topic inperticular on my mind. But less then 24 hours from now and 2005 will be gone forever, to only be a memory. 2006 scares the shit out of me, but its something I have to suck up and deal with.

I sit there during the silences and realize how much I've changed. And I think about how I used to be, and how I am now and the things that have changed. And all I can say is thank god. I am so much happier with myself now. I mean, even from a few months ago. And I only have my friends to thank. I still have grudges that I'm working on, but within a few months they will not matter at all, therefore they shouldn't matter now.

"If you won't remember that little fight or argument five years from now, it doesn't matter" - Probally the only thing I remember from church.

I need to let some things go, even though its hard when others don't do the same. But I can only work on myself. I like myself so much better...gosh. I don't want to graduate because I'm afraid of changing. Okay, god...anywho.

I said something tonight that has really stuck in my head, and makes me think of any and all of my friends in the past. And I can't help but think of all the good times I had with them, and it makes me forget the bad. So if you kiddos learn anything from me....

"People will always come and go in our lives, and we just have to enjoy the time we have with them while we get it"

"Amazingly Enough, I Don't Give a Shit"

It really amazes me how some people can just fix any bad day or any horrible situation.

Today was day two of drama. Day one I hid out in the band room all day and sang along. The band makes me feel like this play has a chance, because they are pretty much awesome. But then I walk around on stage and see people sitting around everywhere and nothing getting done and I feel like it has no hope. Therefore I hang out with the pit members because then I won't explode. So yeah, day two. So much stress that I almost was sick (again). As I sit here and type from the combination of lack of sleep (from stress) and my stress, I'm literally shaking. I have been all day.

So anywho, awesome person numero uno...Becca. I was completly stressed about all this stupid shit that at one point I sat down next to her on her little piano bench and one point and randomly just completly vented to her about drama, and leaving, and collage and all this random stuff that has been on my mind. And she totally understood all of it and made me feel better. It was so awesome. Then she called to make sure I was okay after my little meeting and that was nice. That kid is way to awesome to be my friend.

Awesome person numero dos, no surprise....Hannah. I was stressed during lunch and surprising enough with out even trying, sitting reading lines during lunch took my mind off of everything. Then the day ended on a bad note so I snuggled up with my blanket and watched Friends and she texts me to say she can go shopping. And that was just awesome bonding. And we solved all the world issues. At least, our issues...on relationships. And let me tell ya, Shawn is going to be the hottest pimp in the world! Two more years kiddo...

Some people are just way to cool. I strive to be a good friend like this. Who knows if my efforts work but all I can do is try.

Oh Kelly got me this book thing with awesome quotes. I'm definatly using some of these, my title is one of them and fits perfect with my mood on drama these days.

Right Out Of A Movie

My family is so typical. I mean each one looks like a character right out of the movie. My grandpa who just sits silent because he has learned after all these years that grandma will talk for him. Then there is grandma who likes to tell of her Wal-Mart adventuress. My stuck up cousin, the silent smart good-ole-boy cousin. The two that crack you up. The aunt that never hears correctly. The outragously cool kids (me and Ashley). The funny aunt (my mom). Then just random others. I mean we're sitting there and this happens:

Debbie: "Grandma do you want some pie?"
Grandma: "Yea..."
Debbie: "Where?"
Grandma: "Well...on my plate, where else?"

She is so typical old lady grandma. She's going to be right outta Christmas Vacation within 5 years. They are all so crazy. I don't like spending my time there because I sit there and think of all the other things I could be doing at that time. How I could be hanging out with my friends or even at home with my mom and my sister. I see these people once a year. Guess I'll count down until next Christmas. Then again I'll be 18, I don't have to go I suppose. But it's all for my mom in the end I guess. It makes her happy.

Tomorrow is Christmas eve. I'm excited. Ken being gone is starting to get to me though. Normally we talk every night, which is weird for me since I hate the phone. But it's sort of become what I do before bed and now I can't. I've been reading his letters though and they're really cute. I can't wait for Christmas. I also can't wait until New Years. Such an awesome holiday. Both are fabulous.

Josh: (Talking about witnessing an armed robbery) "And then I saw a guy come outta the store with a black ski mask, I didn't think anything of it. In fact I was kind of like "I wish I had one of those, it's really cold out"".

Candy Canes and Everything That Comes With It

First off I hate how this site pretty much has like 5 templates, then each one is just offered in 4 different colors or something. I mean I want a new template so bad but every single one its like "Nope, so-and-so used to use that one". Then maybe I'm retarded but I can't find any good ones through google. If any one has blogger template websites, let me know...because I need a change.

Any who, the concert...pretty sweet.
Staying up until 6...just plain awesome.
Waking up at 10 (4 hours later)...kind of hurt.
Going to bed around 12 (after only 4 hours of sleep that night)...Really hurt.
Waking up again at 9...Ouch.

I have no time to sleep. If we made every day like 26 hours, I'd be better off. Then again I'd probally just use the two more hours a day to see my friends that much more. But yea. Yesterday was our family dinner. Chad decided to never show up, so by family I mean Hannah and Tia. The three of us exchanged gifts and it was so much fun. We didn't have any like, 'main food' because Chad never showed up so we went to McDonalds and bought 40 chicken nuggets. Wow, 40 is more then I thought. I don't know why but we all thought that wouldn't be to bad. Well, we probally ate only 15 or so...so we had a lot left. We offered them to anyone who walked through the room.

Ken stopped in for a little while. Mainly to give me his letters. He wrote me a letter for every day since he left today to see his sister for Christmas. He doesn't get back until the 29th or 30th. At least in time for New Years which I don't know whats going on with that yet. But whatever happens, I'll have fun.

After the family dinner I went out for Christmas dinner with Meghan, Tony and Killian. They got me 'When Harry Met Sally' which is just a chick-flick classic. 'Mean Girls', which I want to watch but I'm saving it because Ken says he's never seen it. And they got me the Fall Out Boy CD. So awesome. They always do so good on stuff for me. Yes, they use my list but still. They pick good stuff from my list.

After dinner I had an interesting thing go down with my mom, that resulted in her calling my dad. So awkward. I felt bad that I basically got my dad in trouble just because she can't let stuff go. I dono *rolls eyes*

Then I talked to Ken for a while on the phone, went to bed around midnight I think.

-----

The things I love about winter is...

Every little town can seem like New York lit up at night
Sitting by the fire
Snuggling
People light more candles, and that just smells good
Spending the night in with friends
Eating to much
Everyone comes home from school
Snowfall at night (with me indoors)
Singing in the parking lot in the snow
Houses with Christmas decorations
The smell of a Christmas tree
Seeing the pile under the tree gradually grow
Watching cheesy movies that you remember from childhood
Bonding with siblings increases
Finding the perfect gifts
Sleeping in
Walking around with slippers on
Having cookies always in the house
Everyone else has cookies also, so no matter where you go...you're offered cookies
Candy Canes
Deep Down...Crazy families
Christmas music, but only at home...in public its border line annoying

-----

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

All-American Rejects

Yesterday was so crazy. I've noticed this patern while hanging out with those guys, but yea. My day started out waking up at 10, sitting around, watching Price is Right and doing a whole lotta nothing. Finally around 3 I couldn't stand all the waiting any longer so I told Chris I was coming over. We hung out for like a half hour before trying to pick up Tia, I say trying because she was at McDonalds. We headed over to Hannah's and Chad already was there. We sat around a while before leaving.

The car ride included singing to Rent songs (go figure) and some Porcipine Tree? Something like that, don't really remember. And a random tappig game and Paul lost. We stopped at someones house, don't really remember why. Then we went to Greektown which was fun. The lights were so awesome. I actually enjoyed that it was Christmas time going through there. And Chris took a cute picture of us on the street which was kind of a scary situation but a cool picture. And dinner was awesome. Hannah was right, that bread rocks.

The concert. Wow. It was fricking sweet, and I have cool pictures from it (above) and even video footage. My camera kicks ass. We danced and freaked out for one song before getting yelled at because we were in the fucking isle. We were by a piller, what else were we suppose to do?! The Acadmy Is was pretty sweet to. I'll have to get a cd of theirs. I thought the place might fall apart though, my video shows how much its shaking and its almost more scary to watch.

Afterwards we had another scary person talk to us, creepy. I just giggled. I blaim Hannah for my awkward situtaion giggling, lol. On the way home talked about random stuff with Paul it was very entertaining. Drinking, and I think some other stuff. The drinking sticks out. Oh and we went into a gas station where we got snacks.

We got back to Hannahs at 12 and Chad was going to leave right away because he was so tired. We ended up watching a little bit of Mean Girls before Tia and I dragged Hannah to the back door. Then we ended up talking with her and Chris until 5 in the morning. Chad left at 3, but he was with Emily the whole time. Any who, talking was somehow my favorite part. It's just so cool when you get sit with 3 of your closets friends and do that. We played 10 fingers which was surprisingly interesting. Any who, we only left at 5 after hearing someone up stairs and decided to go home. We wanted to go to Denny's, but didn't want to leave Hannah out and techincally I told my dad 2ish. So Tia, Chris and I went to my house where we watched...hmm, what was it. Oh, Ahhh Real Monsters. I woke up at 6 and turned the TV off and turned the lights out. Tia screamed stuff in her sleep about New York, fun stuff.

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight will make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.

Best Told Over Coffee

Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache,
Stop this burning now

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

I wish I could drive away into the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
I'll put it in a note, yeah
I'll cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello, don't you dare say goodbye
I'll write sincerely yours and sign my name
P.S. I love you, forever and today

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Where are you?
And I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep
I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick, strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
The webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home
And stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight

I was alone
I was all by myself

And don't you know I'm sending
There's no venture I won't go
For you

Stoner City

You only replace stuff when it needs replacing right? Makes perfect sence to me. I didn't just up and decide I was sick of my other group of friends. In fact the only reason I branched out was because they stopped talking to me, and stopped inviting me to everything...that I hear about anyways. So no one has the right to be upset that I found people who care about me and all that.

It's at the point where I can't try anymore. You just physically make me sick. You must be a dumb ass if you think I didn't notice. Why did I waste time and effort on you, it got me no where. You were always a downer, you always complained. I hated it but said nothing. You were also fake. Wow it feels good to finally say that...because honestly I don't give a shit about you. Sure I may be less mad later but this is the truth. You ruined entire events with your attitude.

You always notice when you screw up and tell people how bad you feel. BULL SHIT! If you felt bad why wouldn't it stop? Or why not tell me, did you know it's not impossible to appoligize? And again you'd have to be a fucking dumb ass if you thought I wouldn't see that everyone else was included but me. You're pretty awesome, ya know that?

----------

Today was decent. I woke up early after hardly any sleep. Went to the school to work on set stuff. No students showed up, big surprise. Not like I'd want to see some of them anyways, but whatever. And I didn't know what colors to paint so I was useless until my dad said I might as well go home. So I scaned pictures for about 2 hours for my video project. Then talked to Hannah for over an hour.

After random TV and online stuff went over to Tia's with Hannah and Chad met us there. We played some game called Stoner City and it's a stoner verison of Monopoly. Playing it makes you laugh and feel like you are stoned. I don't know how...but I seriously felt dumber during that thing. After that we played a Brats dancing game thing, I kicked ass. Oh and Hannah drew me a picture with Tia black.

"OMG it says ICUP"
*Carry on converstation*
(10 mins later after starring at box that entire time)
"Seriously, who does that...it says ICUP"

So much good stuff ahead for this wonderfull break. Can't wait....Au Revoir

So Many Hugs

I wish it was Christmas year round. People are considerate around this time, and so loving. I felt very loved at school. Actually it was a crappy morning gone good.

The day started in the library with a story Casey was telling, that after the events of yesterday hit way to close to home and I had to get out. First hour was awesome with Amber and Sara. I'm going to miss that class so much. If they weren't in there I'd never show up. As it is I only do 3/4 of the time. 2nd hour sucked. 3rd hour we played holiday jepordy and it was really fun. My team captain stared at me the whole time for answers. Maybe I was just in the way of the bored, but I felt smart.

Lunch was typical. Exciting news from Hannah and lots of hugs. 4th hour, ugh. Presentations followed by a movie that I talked to Chris during. Then my TA hour which was fun. We didn't really have to do anything but I was just in a much better mood. The Sharon gave me a gift which was so sweet of her. A bunch of candy and $10 to NCG. She said she figured I'd probally see at least one movie over break, and it'd be handy with a new boyfriend. I love that woman. 6th hour we had our secret santa thing.

OH! back to 4th hour. Bekah made me this rediculously thoughtful poem because she knew my day wasn't all that great. It was so nice of her.

But yea...secret santa stuff. Becca got me which I already knew. That kid is so awesome...this is her peom:

There once was this chick - Chelsey Cody
She's life a sit-com episode-y
She's not pigeon toed
She hates that it snowed
And she thinks Randy B. is a toad-y

She is our student director
And everybody respects her
She's very attractive
And quite hyperactive
And has lots of intellect-er

She's also a sexailicous nun
Who eats eggs and hamburger buns
She escaped from her bunk
And dated a monk
And Mother Abbess called 9-1-1

Chelsey loves Becca the queen
When they enter the office, there's a mob scene
They don't make phone calls
'Cuz they don't have the balls
And they like to sniff copy machines!

Oh I love that kid. It completly made my day, and I've read it at least a million times already. I need to figure out where I want to display it. For now it's on my desk. Also Chris got me a candy cane with a raindeer on it. How cute. I felt so loved today from my good friends.

Tonight is a game, I don't even know who we're playing. I think DeWitt but who knows. I'm excited to see the cheerleaders and the dance team. Gotta support my girls. Also I'm taking Ken which will be fun. Then we have a dance put on by the PALs, and Randy is santa I've heard. Shall be awesome.

Au Revoir

I Feel Alone

What would have happened if it was all true? My world would have flipped upside down. If it was only a few more weeks, or days? And why not tell me sooner. "Because how do I break something like that to you?" Sure she wanted to wait until it was a false alarm to tell me, but what if it wasn't false alarm. So wait until it's offical "I may be dieing" What would I have done?

I don't know where to vent. I don't know if I want to vent. If you can't write what can you do?

The day last year when I went to the doctor just because my knee bothered me, and they said "You might have a blood clot, go to the emergancy room". I had never been so scared in my life. I relived it listening to your story. You went through the same thing but couldn't even tell me. Yours was worse! And it wasn't from start to finish in a matter of hours. You spent all week with doctors. You've known since Friday night. I saw you Sunday! Why not mention it? And you only got in the clear two hours before I saw you. It's been going on a week. "I didn't want to worry you".

Somethings in life just scare the shit out of you. What are you suppose to do to calm yourself down if no one answers?

Blocking It Out?

Any time I think of the future I spaz. Is it better to try to brace yourself for it, or ignore it all together until it hits you square in the face? This last year is something I'll live through once and I don't know any of the answers. The last time I thought about all of it I had a semi melt down under a blanket. I hate dealing with life changing experiances. I mean, I know where I'm going to school but I don't want to. I'll love it when I'm there but I don't want all of us in different towns and cities.

5 Months, 3 Weeks, 1 Day left.

OR

97 school days

Maybe it'd be better to block it out....until June 1st that is....

"If you should die before me, ask if you can bring a friend."

It's nothing you can ever plan for. Actually nothing in life you can plan for. Then you sit and question how stuff happened, and what if it didn't happen and what will end up happening. You can't plan anything, but if you're as cool as I am you can make a pretty acurate guess. Sometimes your just handed an open afternoon/night with your best friend that turns into one of the most relationship-strengthening times ever. Hannah and I did random stuff on the computer, followed up by a trip for breadsticks...ya know, since we're breadstick whores. I'll never be able to look at fat breadsticks with out thinking I should save them for last. Scratch that...any breadstick makes me think of that crazy kid. Any who, after our breadstick run we returned to my house where my dad was gone. It was probally 7 or so. We honestly sat on the couch faceing each other (yes that's two words) and talking for about 5 hours. Amazing. So much bonding. Was there any conversation we didn't cover? At a few points we were cracking up and crying at the same time.

So many questions in life that will never be answered. So many that I wouldn't want answered. I'd rather see where the road takes me, and hope that it's with the same people that make me as happy as I am now. Drinking wine on the couch and yelling at the toddlers would be some of the most fun times...but nothing compared to nowadays.

Call It...Softlips

So Hannah is over....and we're writing my little thingy for myspace that's "About Me". Any who....It was crazy...and here it is: (Think of this all in a crazy accent....it makes the experience more fun!)

My name is Chelsey. I love a kid named Hannah... and Coin Man. They are both super cool. Especially Hannah. She's the coolest person in the world. In our spare time we like to spend time in the backseat of Chad's car. And if we aren't there then we are probably on Chad's couch together. But don't worry, Coin Man doesn't get too jealous! This one time me and Hannah went shopping and she got stuck in a sweater so I had to undress her. We LOVE Bubble Island. The pictures have no pattern. There aren't ANY pictures in the male bathroom. I know this cause Hannah went to check. I totally own a Bubble Island stamp card cause I go there so much. We like to run errands for my mom, and create mayhem in Meijers. Cause we're cool like that. We tend to talk to loud in public... especially when we're talking about sexual things. Like aids. Hannah likes to pick my clothes out and lay in my bed a lot. We're gonna go to the SCHWEETEST concert in da world soon. Its gonna be SCHWEET. We like breadsticks. In fact, we are breadstick whores! We have really funny lunch conversations about...well...threesomes. Hannah's cool. We like to dance around Chad's kitchen and listen to musicals. The best time during the day is 4-430. Right now, me and Hannah are talking like retards. Cause we're cool. And she's not even on ovary medicine! We like to sing to Moulin Rouge in da car. We met this guy named Key Man. He's schweet. Hannah's gonna marry him. Even though he's OLD. This one time we went to Barnes and Noble and we played with the train set while doing quizes out of a little quiz book. This other time Hannah and I went to see Rent together. We met this crazy lady. She was crazy. Hannah is my dirty little secret! I love that kid! When we're in the da car (but not the backseat of Chad's) we like to say "CHICKEN" like that one commercial! Cause we're cute! Some people wonder about us... in a lesbian kind of way. But love Coin Man... but Hannah's NOT completely off-limits. Everytime I'm Chad's couch I put my feet on the table THEN Hannah arches her back while crawling under my legs. It's hott (with two t's). Schweet. This one time, it was cold outside. This means that the window of my car was all frosty. And not on the outside. And I was all excited to go meet Coin Man so we scraped it from the inside. Cause we're cute. This one time me and Hannah were talking about all the super schweet times we've had together and wrote them down THEN she starts screaming at me "WRTIE THAT DOWN!" cause she thought of a really really cool one. We like to have FAMILY DINNERS! And eat cookie dough while we dance to our lesbian song from Rent. We still don't understand why people seem to wonder about us. This one time when I was shopping with Hannah we met this really cool gay guy. I don't know his name, but he was SCHWEET. I love him. If he wasn't gay, I would totally let Hannah marry him! Yey! That makes a threesome marriage with Key Man! We like to drool over Green Day cause they were naked (but that's not the ONLY reason we were drooling). This one time I was able to pick up birth control but not frickin allergy medicine. So I can have SEX! But not a dry nose. Who does that?! Chad likes to take.... questionable pictures of me and Hannah. Like this one time he managed to snap a few shots of Hannah on top of me. It was hott (with two t's again) I still have them pictures. I look at them all the time! With Hannah! Hannah is so cute! I love that kid! We have no self control around each other. This one time Hannah, Chad and I went to pick up this kid named Adam and when Chad opened the car door his dogs almost jumped in! IT WAS CRAZAY! We like to ask each other "what would you do if I kissed you right now?" I guess we don't need to ask that question anymore cause we know the answer now. This other time I was with Hannah in the car and I told her my wildest fantisies of undressing her. But it all started with her questions "what would you do if I took off your pants?" It was crazy! I was driving so she couldn't and she was sad. This other time we went to Denny's at 3 in the MORNING! Hannah had a brownie. It was cool. I sat by Hannah that night and then I took her home at like 4. Cause I love her! And she needed her sleep. Time to wrap this thing up folks (think of that last part in a southern accent it'll sound SCHWEET).

With Love...Written by the coolest person in the world...Hannah (12-10-05)

P.S. Many great stories to come....Stay tooned!

How To Describe It...Wow

It was so instant. I don't even know how to describe it other then that. Instant attraction and just....ahhh! I don't even know what to say. I havn't been this happy in a long time. Once school started everything went downhill. My new friends this year brought everything up a ton, and now...wow.

Hung up Christmas lights with Ken yesterday for my moms house. It was so cold...arg. "It all depends on who your freezing your ass off with..." After lights, which look amazing thanks to...well, he did most of it. I did the pole though, which kicks ass. But yea, after that went up to the mall and met my mom and Auntie Mar for dinner. It was quite an intertaining meal. How has nothing been awkward yet?? Normally I feel awkward at least once by now. With friends...family. Nope, just like I feel I've known Ken forever, I had felt like at dinner we'd done that many times before, like it was no big deal. And of course they loved him. So many comments on that...they kept bringing it up all night. And I guess my mom ranted about him at work...lol. She's an interesting one. I've never seen her this...happy for me.

School today sucked, was sick with...probally a cold...all day. Only went because english we had a group project. Then only stayed for Drama. I ordered amazing tickets for drama though. They are suppose to come in by next Friday, I'm going to wet my pants when I see them. Hopefully we don't sell out, I want to keep a few. One from each night...Oh, how cute would that be?! (Scrapbooking ideas already).

After school got the cutest texted message in the world, that made the crappy day disappear a little. Then hung out with Hannah, Chad and Tia at our "Club house". We're so cool. Danced around to musical soundtracks the whole time basically. I love how the simplest things are the best times in the world with those guys. After that went to the mall with Hannah. Talked with this awesome gay guy from Aero. She picked out the two shirts I got...I hate shopping I just found like styles of shirts I liked and I was just like "which one"...and she would go through them. Yeah...they're so cute. I still think she should have walked out with the pink sunglasses...they were sexy!

Not much else going on...The winding down of the year is making school hectic. Well, not really...but drama is getting busy. Gosh...Yeah! The worst kind of drama is....drama in Drama. Practise tomorrow with Stan, gosh. But enough to look forward to afterwards, least of all OC night!

Lyric Thoughts

I have so many things buzzing through my head. I can't slow them down to concentrate on just one...This is what's in my head in the form of awesome lyrics...Probally won't make since to anyone but me, but it seriously tells a story...

“This is the truth, the only time you'll here it,
I write it down because it seems so hard to say it”

"I should tell you"

"What do you think inside your head? I want to know"

“How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.”

"I should tell you"

"And tomorrow, I know,
Will be rainy at best.
And the forecast, I know,
Is that I'll be depressed."

"And now I'm sunny with a High of 75
Since You took my heavy heart
And made it light
And its funny how you find
You enjoy your life
When you're happy to be alive"
