And Life Moves On.

Drama, drama, drama. I'm done being involved with it. Yes, I know its very VERY difficult to avoid it unless I decided to be a hermit up in the hills, and I think that I am far too social for the hermit idea to work out, but there MUST be a way to avoid MOST drama. Drama at home, drama at school... what other drama is there? Driving drama? Yes, I will attempt to avoid that too.

But I'm totally, and utterly sick of it. So I think I'm just gonna avoid it. And somehow I will figure that out. And you know what? Its really not the end of the world, even though at times I did think it was. If it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger. And revenge isn't any good way to handle anything, although it may be the most funnest choice, its not the smartest, cause it will come back and bite you in the bum. I recently learned that forgivness is better, thanks to one of my closest friends. It works a lot better. As quoted by Mahatma Gandhi, "An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind." Basically, if we just take and eye for an eye, then everyone just ends up unhappy and frumpy. Not anyones favorite two things.

I recently learned that rather than blow up and be a 'crazy person,' just write it down whats bothering you. And so I've been practicing that. So that is nice. Arguements cool down and are MUCH easier to just avoid all together. In fact, since I got back from camp last friday, everything about life here in Bend has generally just rocked, besides the fact that KMD is gone for SO long. Come back friend.

Oh my, I write so little on this blog lately. But when I do, its a lot huh. Ah.. maybe it all just piles up into a big jumbled mess in my brain, then it all spills out, and voila, I can think again. I'm ready to get more info into my brain now, thanks! By the way, just a little selfish moment here, I want more followers. How do some people end up with SO MANY followers, and then there are just these little blogs filling in the cracks? So confusing. I like these little ones better.

Happy Living!

Obsessions... and collections.

My Obsessions:

> Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Lenka, Regina Spektor
> Food
> Magazines
> Harry Potter
> All music
> Memories
> Friends
> Family

My Collections:

> Magazines
> Books
> Harry Potter stuff
> Pencils and Notebooks
> Bags
> Clothes hangers.... I don't mean to collect them, they just all end up empty in MY closet!
> Prank Equipment (well no duh!)

And sometimes I will go to Target, buy a lot of cheap junk/comfort food, and hoard it away in my room... but is hoarding really collecting? I don't think so. Because I don't "collect" food, i just "hoard" it...

So how's life for you all? Good I hope! Hope your all hanging in there. Only a few more days of this school year! Can you believe that it is almost over? Today is my brothers birthday and I am SO excited! We got him some pretty sweet presents, and I made him a gnarly card! We got Ida's Cupcakes for him and we are all going to celebrate tonight! He's 12! :O When did that happen? Next year, ONE YEAR, he will be a TEENAGER! HOLY FREAKIN S WORD! Well anyways...

Finally the drama of Freshman year is cooling down and coming to a stop. I'm not entirely pleased with how everything turned out, but I am happy again, and thats what really matters? I wish I could help one person though. But if I even try to talk to them, or anything, I just get put down. I know I should feel anger toward them for what they have done, but I just can't. I feel more.. forgiveness I guess. And I am a person that just, likes to help other people. Its hard for me when I see someone who looks like they may be in need of help, and I just can't help them. I guess I ought to just cut them loose, and let them sort it out, and their close friends help them out. I don't know. I'm not a wise wise person. Sometimes I am, but right now, Im more.. confused.

NEW YORK! I get to go to New York in October!!! Do you KNOW how excited I am?! I've never been there before, and that is the place I've wanted to go to the most! I just absolutely LOVE all the Broadway shows, and lights of it that I see in the movies, and I can't wait to go and experience it for myself! Its going to be so great! Just me and my mom! It will be amazing! Eating primarily street vendor food, seeing shows, experiencing the museums (MOMA and Museum of Natural History), exploring Central Park, and what I personally cannot wait for, is to re do my version of "Thats How You Know" from Enchanted in Central Park. My own little happy place! I want to see the EXACT place where Giselle climbed out of in the movie Enchanted. I need to see that. Smack dab in the middle of Times Square. Oh yes, that will be the day. And this summer I get to go to Disney Land with my youth group, and then in 2 summers, my family MIGHT get to go to France for 2 months!! AHHH!! I've never left the U.S so this is BIG! And I will get to visit our French exchange student, Josephine! :D Woot woot!

Well, I think I shall go explore the many pages (News feed, profile.. and thats about it..) of Facebook. Have a nice day world!

Hello, my name is Kate Ellen Kennedy.
I love to sing, laugh, write, have deep conversations, listen to music, draw, do anything artistic, and eat.
I love my life. Sure, a few little bumps in the road can make you hurt a little, but I know that I have gotten much stronger and more mature this year. I feel a lot wiser. And like I have become a completely different person from last year. Last year, I was kind of crazy. I have basically the same sense of humor. But I didn't know stress or what tough was. And I think I have a better clue now. But I got through it, and I feel a lot better. Tomorrow night is the Tri-Schools Dance. (Reminds me of the "Tri-Wizard Tournament..." YAY!) I will dance away all my troubles. Everything will go RIGHT as they have this week. This has been a fantastic week at school. I cannot wipe the stupid grin off my face. Thanks Jane. ;) Your amazing.

Much love, The cheery, new, wiser, yet cretinous Kate Kennedy. Talk to you all soon.

The Latest!

So I decided to do something. I wrote myself a letter, addressed to my future self, and I am gonna open it years from now, and then write my next future self another one! And just keep going all my life till the end when I can look back and see all the things that happened through out my life. I am also keeping a journal, but I have been doing that. Its fun to go back and read some of the stupid things that you write. My favorite entry is in kindergarten, "I hate mushrooms." Oh wasn't it great when that was the worst thing that was happening in your life? Being forced to eat your mushrooms. Those were the good old days. But everything is better now. Although lately it seems as if everyone is growing up ahead of me. Its a tad bit annoying. I'm not gonna list all those things, but there are quite a few! Its very annoying. Although, I don't want to grow up all the way and become a serious adult to fast, I do just want to be treated like a 15 year old, not a 7 year old. ;) But I like being a cretin. Its fun. Oh guess what! I am, once again, in Freshman Acadamy typing this up. My teacher gives us assignments that are supposed to last the entire class period, but they are really easy for me (learning word, powerpoint, and excel! :P) and so I just finish them in about 20 minutes then have the rest of the class to just go on the internet, blog, play bubble shooter/uphill rush. Its a great block to just kinda hang out. Its nice just to stop worrying about all the stress of other classes and let it out with a nice game of bubble shooter. That sounds quite lovely. I am not a fan of excel. Nope nope not one little bit. Blech! I wish I had a remote to stop time or fast forward or something like that. But then I remember the movie, Click, and I decide, nope I do not want one of those remotes. That movie made me start crying SO hard at the end. I am not gonna give anything away, but that movie, goodness I just bawl my eyes out. Its so sad! OH MAN! A girl in my class just went out to her locker and came back with cookies and gatorade. And they are not for sharing and I am hungry and that cookie is deliciously huge and looks warm. (drools a little...) I just love food. I am a never ending food disposal. Anything you put in front of me I will eat. Great.
