Okayyy?

2011-06-29T20:49:00.000-07:00

Ashlee's life since... Feburary? Wow, has it really been that long?

I finished up my first year of college (Yay!). Sadly though, I don't think I made the most of it. Towards the end of the year, I noticed I didn't do many of the typical college experiences. I also noticed I didn't make as many deep connected friendships. Did I make friends? Yes. Did I make friends that I will keep in touch with for the rest of my life? No.

All in all, I did have a great experience. I got to experience living on my own and being away from my parents for a while. Although I was home nearly every other weekend to watch hockey games. I did take a few steps out of my sheltered life though. I went to sketchy parties, I stayed out late, when I had class early the next morning, and I got to make my own decisions without my parents watchful eyes.

Unfortunately (fortunately?), I'll be transferring schools next semester. I officially changed my "major" to Dental Hygienist. The school I was going to doesn't offer a program for that. One school that does, is about 3 hours away in Kansas City. I still need a few more general ed classes, so to save money for my move to Kansas City, I'll be going to a local University for those few classes I need. It's the same school I played bass for their Youth Orchestra and took a class during my junior year.

This summer has pretty much been dedicated to work. I got a job at the country club in the town 20 minutes away. I'm working in the snack bar, but I'm basically just a poolside waitress. The pay is higher than waitress minimum wage and the regular minimum wage for that matter. Plus I'm working about 20-30 hour weeks. As weird as it sounds, I actually enjoy working there. Many of the member are really nice, despite their reputation, and the people I get to work with are great.

Sadly, that's only a summer job. So, I'll either have to be trained to work inside during banquets or find another job during the school year. I think I might look into finding another on campus job at my new school. The on campus job I had at my old college worked out fantastically.

Other than that, my summer will be spent out by the pool. No joke.

Miss you guys! Update me on your lives!

Inspiration

2011-03-07T18:00:00.000-08:00

Hi all! This is going to be short because I'm in the middle of doing homework, but I just wanted to share something inspirational with you.

A girl who I ran cross country with for one year (I was a freshman, she was a senior) has been losing her hair lately. Instead of being upset about it disappearing, she decided to embrace it and shave her head. I can only imagine how difficult that might be, and she looks so happy in her pictures.

So check out her blog, and hopefully it will make you smile. :)

Snow, Sunflower Showdown, & Cute TA's

2011-02-25T18:11:00.000-08:00

Kaylee I gots yous letter. I'll try and write you back this weekend.

I decided to go ahead and update the good old cake blog, while I'm waiting for my friend to get ready to go hang out at our other friends house.

What's new in Ashlee's life you might ask?

Nothing.

Blog post over.

Just kidding. Some very exciting things have happened to me in the past few weeks. First it snowed a butt load. Not really exciting because I hate snow. Well, I hate driving in it. It's very pretty to look at, but I'd take 100 degree weather over snow any day.

I went to my first Sunflower Showdown game! For you non-Kansans, the Sunflower Showdown is a sporting event that pits KSU against KU. On Valentine's day, instead of cuddling up with a guy, I waited outside for six hours in order to get a good seat at the game. I froze my ass off! But it was so worth it. My friends Dad actually got in there early and saved us front row seats in GA. OH YEAH. FRONT ROW FOR THE KU/KSU GAME! We were so close! The game was great too. KSU dominated #1 ranked KU. 84-68 baby! KSU never beats KU, so when we did win, the student section did a court rush. I was sitting front row, student section. I got mauled. Quite literally. I have bruises ALL over my legs and I almost fell over the railing. I couldn't move and people kept pushing up against me trying to make me somehow move through the railing and down to the court. It was awful, I really thought I was going to get seriously injured at one point. But then, this guy (my knight in a purple t-shirt), came up behind me and like put his arms around me. And at first I was all like, "Oh crap, he's going to rape me and no one will notice because they're all trying to get to the court."

And my friend, was like, "What are you doing! Get off her!" to the guy.

And the guy was like, "I'm trying to help her!"

Once he said it, I did notice that a lot of the pressure that had been put up against me was gone, because people were now pushing up against him. He was creating a barrier around me. He was getting pushed against and holding off all the fans from touching me. He was taking the heat for me, a girl he didn't even know. What a stud, but he left before I got to say thank you or even see him for that matter. But I heard his voice and one day I WILL FIND HIM!

Lastly. The teacher's assistant in my biology class IS A HUNK! I could stare at him all day. He makes me melt like a popsicle on the 4th of July. He's kind of tall, dark brown hair, light blue eyes, and the most amazing smile. Plus he's super smart, okay, he's borderline geeky, but in a very adorable way. He looks like James Lafferty, combined with Joe Jonas's smile.

In our biology class, we do like a 10 minute introduction, then we're on our own (with our 3 lab partners) to finish a module for an hour and a half. Then we do a wrap up in the last 15 minutes of class. During the time we're alone, the TA's and the teachers come around and answer our questions. Cute TA spends about 75% of his time at our table. Partly because we all like to stare at him and partly because we're dumb and really need his help. There's another TA who I'll just refer to as Rude TA, because he is quite rude. Rude TA pretty much told us we were all dumb asses. How rude.

Once Cute TA tried to link my major (advertising) to biology. And he used the word sex about three times. I was unaware that sex is what links the two together, but I just let him keep repeating the word, because I know he was trying to hint at something... HAHAHAHAH. Then another time, we were waiting for our exam to start and one of my lab partners told me she caught Cute TA staring at me a few times. I know he wants me.

Hahah. But really, he's a stud and I want him! I'm pretty sure he's about 22 or 23... 4 years older than me. He was starting college when I was starting high school. Whatever love knows no age. We are destined to be together forever!

That's my life thus far.

Love you girls!

-ashlee

P.S. When Cute TA finally gets up the courage and asks me to marry him. You guys will be the first to know.

Hello February

2011-02-01T20:08:00.000-08:00

Hey guys. just checking in with everyone.
I wrote you back Ash. I left the letter at my house so hopefully my parents put it in the mail. If they did you should be getting it soon! YAY.

It just occurred to me that its FEBRUARY (which is spelled really oddly)
YAY another day/ month closer to spring.. I cannot wait till it gets warm again. I feel like I physically hibernate during the cold months. aka I sit around and wish it was warmer.
Which also made me think.. hey isn't it Emma's birthday?! I got a new phone in which I didn't transfer my birthday alerts over from. But im pretty sure it is. I never know what age anyone turns though. but...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA wherever you are. I hope your doing awesome and you have things a little more sorted out from the last time I talked to you about a year or so ago.

I just finished my African American Literature paper that I started around 5pm. today. I was avoided it since my alarm went off at 10:30 today which I chose to ignore for about a half hour.
Oh how I love my schedule. you would be super jealous that I only have Mon. Wends ASh. but it is continuous class from 11-1:30 and 2-4:30 so pretty much all day but 2/7 days a week isn't too bad of a ratio.

well I haven't been doing too much as of lately. like usual. but I did bring my room for my first venture driving back home, yay for driving a continuous 4 hours. It was kinda fun. went to two malls, ikea, uptown charlotte, casa grande, and the disney store (which is one of the malls but its kinda a big deal for Kate)sad no JB stuff though. I collected more left overs than I know what to do with.

Other than that I'm just working on my 4th week? of classes and so far I don't think I'm do far behind in anything.

What are all of you up to?
anything exciting.
I can't wait till its sunny and I can do fun things and actually exit my apartment. ooh and maybe road trip which reminds me... .
JOSEPH ADAM JONAS RELEASE YOUR MUSIC NOW SO I CAN ROAD TRIP TO SEE YOU IN MULTIPLE VENUES!!

that is all.
Peace, Love, and Jonas

Third Day.

2011-01-20T17:00:00.001-08:00

Pretty sure that's a band... actually I'm pretty sure I've seen them in concert... just Googled it... I have seen them in concert. Oh yes. I saw them with Family Force 5 in 2009.

Ramble.

Title Relevance. My third day of spring semester was today. Whoop whoop. I forgot to blog about yesterday's events. Today was much like the first day with the exception of me working 11-2, instead of me working 6am-9. I guess I don't have much to report about... this is awkward.

Unrelated to the Title. Yesterday was awful. It started snowing around 10 and didn't stop until about 12 hours later. I had to walk 10 minutes one way to my Biology class, which is also such an awful way to spend 2 hours of my life twice a week. Not to mention I had to work from 7am-9... I'm never going to get to sleep in this semester. Whoever designed my schedule is just awful. Just kidding, that was me.

Anyway, we got about six inches of snow yesterday on top of the four or so inches that were already on the ground. 10 inches of snow and guess what. We still had school. I guess snow days in college are just more rare, because my sister has had four snow days in the past TWO WEEKS.

My parents just (well yesterday) informed me that we're taking a family vacation to Vegas this July. Great for my parents and older brother, not so great for me and my younger sister. What are an 18 year old and a 16 year old supposed to do in Vegas? I'm happy we're going though, because our last family vacation was to Chicago a few years ago and that was an adventure. It involved food poisoning, getting on the wrong bus, taking the subway for the first time, St. Patty's day parade, loads of drunks (including my older brother), and a train ride back home. But I still love Chicago, it's one of my favorite cities.

Ramble.

I'm just gonna go!

Love you guys!

First Day of Class.

2011-01-18T17:25:00.000-08:00

You know that weird kid, who's super excited to be back in class the first day of school? They get to class really early, so they can sit smack dab in the middle of the 'T-Zone'. They've bought all their supplies and couldn't be more prepared for the class.

That kid is and has always been me.

I ADORE the first day of class. Winter and Summer break throw me off course. I like structure. Summer and Winter break are nothing but a bunch of unorganized, unplanned days, that have no daily routine to them. And it sucks, I usually get nothing accomplished over breaks because I'm thrown off course and don't find my way back until the end of break. Don't get me wrong, I love breaks, but there's something about an organized routine set into action that just excites me.

I just re-read that paragraph, gosh, I'm lame.

But really. I had my first day of class for second semester today and it was wonderful. Well, it was okay.

World Geography. A seemingly easy class. The teacher is young and my roommate is taking it with me. Not to brag or anything, but I did win the Geography Bee (1st place suckers!), in 5th grade, for my entire Elementary school. Oh yeah, that's right, I beat all those sorry 6th graders butts! If we were in the Olympics, I would have brought home the gold and they would have shamefully walked home with the silver.

College Algebra. I felt mildly offended during class today. The stuff they were teaching us... I'm pretty sure I learned in middle school. Not to mention, all the people in that class just look like morons. I've already finished this weeks homework without Thursday's lecture. Oh. Worst part of my class experience. This guy sat down next to me and tried talking to me (but I, who is incredibly shy around people I don't know, didn't say much and I think he thought I was ignoring him). Worst part. He kept farting during the entire lecture and I just had to sit there and gag. Nasty.

Lunch. I got a turkey, sub sandwich, some turkey and rice soup, and a lemonade.

Dinner. I got a turkey, sub sandwich, some turkey and rice soup, and a lemonade. Oh and some pineapple. Thought I'd switch it up a bit.

Love you guys!

-ashlee

P.S. I know I rabble a lot, but for some reason, my friends have no desire to listen to me give my daily stories in extreme detail. The nerve of them! It's ridiculous.

Bazinga!

2011-01-16T12:06:00.000-08:00

Once again, you've fallen for the classic prank. Gee. I love the Big Bang Theory.

In other news, I have not completed a single thing since Thursday. Well, I did go grocery shopping, got my books, and mailed a letter, but other than that, I have done nothing.

My roommate is supposed to come back today, but I'm not sure when she'll be here exactly. She's from Oklahoma (where there are no cars) and it's a 6 hour drive up here.

Carly. I miss the days when my life revolved around all things Jonas too. Sad day. My sister and I decided last week, if they do another concert either this year or next year, we're going. No questions asked. And if there is a meet and greet, we're splurging. Meeting them would just complete my life and then I would be okay with forgetting about them in two years.

Kaylee. Check yo' mail... soon. I just sent it today.

I think I've said this before, but I think a CAKE chat is in order soon. Very soon. I still have the same screen name. I'm not on often, but if one of you is on and I get on, message me! Whoa. Weird. I just got on AIM and I have no clue who half the people are on my buddy list. I know most of them are JBFers, but really, no clue.

Gots to go! Love you girls!

-ashlee

hello again

2011-01-13T19:15:00.001-08:00

I just read your post, Ashlee, and I also went onto JBF really quick..... Even though the home page is different, the layout is completely the same and it took me right back to the 2-3 years when I was on there for hours straight, every single day. I miss it so much, too. I miss how in love I was with them (the boys). Even though my obsession was a little over the top (okay, a lot over the top), sometimes I wish I could go back to 2007-2008 when almost everything I did revolved around them.

Now I'm feeling very nostalgic. Oh how nice it would be to be able to go back in time. But it still makes me happy that we all still talk somewhat even though we don't go on there anymore.

I'm friends with Claire on Facebook, but I haven't talked to her in a long time. Maybe I'll say hi and see what she says!

Anyway, I'll try friend requesting you again, Ashlee!

xoxo carly

PS I just went to the forum page and I literately am having the weirdest flashbacks. Oh my gosh and I just found some old stories I read almost two years ago. THIS IS SO WEIRD.

2011-01-11T21:55:00.000-08:00

It's Tuesday, January 11 and I am still on Winter Break. This is crazy. I'm moving back to my dorm on Thursday, but classes don't start until Tuesday. That's right. I'm still on winter break for another 6 days!

I've never been more glad to start school back up though. I miss my college friends and I miss being able to have my own space that has a locking door. And for some dumb reason, when I got home for break, I kept loosing everything. I miss placed my camera and $150.00. I found the money (thank God), but I'm still missing my camera. And then I lost two of my favorite headbands.

OH. HEADBANDS. I'm obsessed with them now. Thanks in large part to Blair Waldorf and her epic headband collection. Whenever I go to Forever 21, I first, check to make sure Nick Jonas isn't working there incognito, then head straight for the headbands. I'm obsessed. I can't wait until spring, when I can wear those huge, obnoxious but totally cute flower clips in my hair. Right now I'm just wearing the huge, obnoxious bow clips. So. Cute.

On December 8, 2010, my blog stated "I think I have a stalker." I have come to the conclusion, that I do indeed have one. Even if my friends think I'm nuts and it's just a coincidence (spelled that right on the first try. bam!) that this jeep parks next to me (nearly) EVERY Saturday night. You're thinking, hey no biggy, maybe the spot next to you is the only open spot. WRONG! The entire isle behind where I park is usually alway open. Once I parked at the end of the row, next to the curb. What did this jeep do, he pulled into the lamp post spot next to me and the curb (you know the spot that you're not supposed to park in because the lamp post is selfish and needs it all for himself?). And one time he was driving behind me in town (and I have determined it's a he), I got so scared I pulled into Sonic to let him pass me. I wonder if this is a normal day for the JoBros? Prolly not (that's how my BFF spells probably. she's not the brightest crown in the box. Get it. Crown, because that's how she'd prolly spell crayon).

Sad news. I officially deleted my ff stories from jbffa. MOO (hahah) had lots of reviews and it made me completely sad to pull the plugs. And now I feel super sentimental. Remember good ol' JBF? I miss that place, I think I'll go back for old memories right quick (and to see if it's still dead).

Ohh. They changed the layout is see. Remember when we freaked out when they changed it from blue to red and then to green? Yep, it's still dead. That makes me so sad, remember how busy that place used to be? It'd take an hour to catch up on news in the 'What's On Your Mind' thread after being at school for 8 hours.

Guys I miss that place. I miss the feeling I'd get when I'd get a review. I miss listening to JB 24/7. I mean my running playlist was entirely JB. I'd always run my hardest during Inseparable and Hold On. I miss the feeling of being so completely and totally in love with those three boys.

Gee. I'm so depressed right now. And this was a really random post.

Love you girls!

-ashlee

P.S. I STILL think when Joe (I think it twas Joe) says "Get off that Cake!" in Lovebug, he's referring to us. I don't care what anyone else says.

P.P.S. Has anyone talked to Claire from JBF? Recently or like after JBF went downhill? I sent her a Christmas card, because she's still on my Christmas card list (yes, I have a list), but I haven't heard anything back. I didn't send you one Kaylee, because I didn't know if you were still in Hong Kong or not when I sent them.

P.P.P.S. Kaylee. I think I'll send you a letter. Fo' real this time. I just adore getting snail mail at my dorm. It's like Christmas morning, when I open up my mail box. Hint, hint.

P.P.P.P.S. I logged onto good ol' Facebook today (it's been about two months since my last visit) to accept your friend request Carly, but I didn't have one from you. :(

Okay, I'm really going now. But guess what. It's now Wednesday! Woohooo! I need sleep, I was up until 4 am this morning and my parents woke me up at 9 to do yoga with them. Yes. Yoga. Welcome to my life. Okaybye.

2011-01-02T15:50:00.000-08:00

Whooowhoooo! We beat our record. How exciting.

New Years Eve. I went to an actual party this year. I had to dress semi-formal, which I have no clue what that means, but I just wore this silver and black dress with a pair of black booties. And I looked super cute, if I do say so myself. Hahaha.

The party was sponsored by our biggest news station in our town and my BFF's sister works there, so she invited us to go with. But then, my bff decided going to visit her boyfriend was WAY more important that sticking with her plans to go with me and ditched me. I ended up going with her sister, which wasn't bad, her sister and I are really good friends. This new station is also a big sponsor of our local hockey team, all the player from this team were there too. Let me tell you. There is nothing more that I enjoy than hockey player in tuxes (well aside from Nick Jonas in a tux).

It was pretty fun. There was a DJ, so I got dragged out on the dance floor by my bff's sister (who's a bit of a party animal) and embarrassed myself horribly. I had a pretty good night, I'd say. Much better than last year.

I just thought I'd share that with you. Going to fancy parties is not really my forte, but it was fun. What'd you guys do for New Years Eve?

Happy New Year guys!

-ashlee

Long time, no blog....

2010-12-29T14:43:00.001-08:00

Um okay wow. I want to apologize for not posting for almost THREE MONTHS. It is unacceptable.

The last time I posted was beginning of October. Since then, cross country has ended, and the swim season started mid-November so I've had practice every day after school since then. It's pretty fun but also time-consuming, but our 8-10AM practices every day this week really just aren't working out...

My 17th birthday came and passed at the end of November (Ashlee and Kaylee, I loved your guys' tweets/posts!!) and it was actually pretty fun. My friends and I went out to dinner, where the people at the restaurant sang to me and made me wear an enormous sombrero (see my picture-->). Seventeen feels a little bit older than sixteen, but it's not a super exciting birthday like sixteen was.

My winter break started last Wednesday, after a few days of finals, and it could not have come at a better time. I was getting so sick of school and it has been WONDERFUL having nothing to do for the past week. So far it's been good; I love Christmas and I'm sad it's over, but my family had a good day. Since Christmas I've pretty much been going to swim practice and hanging out with my friends. Since we didn't see my dad's family over Christmas, we had them all to our house last night for dinner, which was fun. A few of my cousins came into town who we hadn't seen in a couple of years, so that was really good to see them.

Tonight is the only night that my four closest friends and I will all be in town, so we're going out to dinner (Dewey's!) and then helping two of them pack because they're going to Florida tomorrow.

As of right now I have no plans for New Year's Eve, but I'd love to hear about what you all are doing!!

Sorry if that was super boring but I missed blogging and just wanted to fill you guys in! One of my New Year's Resolutions is to blog more and keep in touch with you guys more often :)

love you all xo
Carly

New Record!

2010-12-28T19:44:00.000-08:00

Hey me again...
and look we finally broke our posting record from 2 years ago YAY!!

This post isn't very eventful or important. I was just on here looking at my picture from IDK four years ago, and I thought that I would change it up.
Its not the best picture, I actually just took it like 6 minutes ago. I may continue shopping around to find another one, I'm not sure yet.

After shopping till I literally dropped today (not really a fan of shopping)I think my picture might be decent but I haven't really changed physically at all since the last picture update. Which is quite shocking actually since I used to grow about a size a year when I was in middle and half way through high school.

hmm.. I think I'm done rambling so someone else better post something a little better for our sign off post for this year.

-Kaylee

PS- yay typing this briefly got me over my boredom.

Hey Guys.

2010-12-26T16:18:00.000-08:00

Long time, no blog.
I always end up checking up on this thing every week or so, but I never actually end up posting anything so I thought I would appease our dear Ash-Bash and help her with the new record posting for the year.

Hmm... I don't remember when was the last time I blogged so I might have been still in HK. It's a strong possibility. I really enjoyed it over there. I learned so much basic common-street sense and some more Independence type lessons while I was over there. I met so many great people that I will be able to spend time with in Savannah again this year and when/if I go back to HK.
It really brought a lot of us together.

Since then, I've lost a roommate. She was having a big breakdown with the whole long distance schooling relationship type of thing. I'm really happy she was able to find a solution that she is satisfied with and less stressed with. She might be able to actually graduate with her own class now instead of a year later with me. But with losing her I was able to gain my other roommate for this winter quarter. I miss her so much, I haven't seen her in FOREVER, and she has changed so much for the better. This year has kinda been the same for me as well. Very eye-opening.

I think I may be getting closer to figuring out what I want to major in, I'm still having some doubts like usual and once I think I'm confident in something I just kinda shy away from it since I'm not SO super enthusiastic about it comparatively to others. I don't know why I can't just do EVERYTHING, why must I pick? Does anyone else feel like they are at this point?

Ash, I love being able to read your tumblr (which I still don't really know how to use)and your posts on here. I feel like we still talk even though its now really as direct as it used to be. =P

I'm finding out a lot this year that, that physical distance in a relationship can truly show you who your friends really are. I've always kinda had this sort of dilemma but I'm really learning how to move on and make better decisions with relationships, well at least I hope I am.

What else...

OH CHRISTMAS.
I just got my first White Christmas since I was about 5. It wasn't exciting as it would've bee for me a few years ago, but still it was kinda cool, especially since it didn't really feel like Christmas, so the snow helped a bit. I;m not really used to snow so didn't really know what to do about it, I went out for a bit to check it out and chase my dog around but that was about it.
I think I got a pretty good turn out, I got most of all the clothes I wanted. Which I completely forgot what I asked for so my mom was very confused why I was so surprised each time I opened something. I got these gorgeous but HUGE heels, and a GPS since I'm taking my car to school this year, and a new cover for my new phone (which I'm loving).

I'm trying to separate myself from my computer a bit and go out and DO SOMETHING instead of just depending on the computer so much, the phone is helping that so I can just check something real quick if something important happens.

I'm kinda excited about the new year.. I'm actually having some 'resolutions' of sorts. I'm kinda going down the whole route of Nick's whole "year of no fear" thing. I'm really trying to better myself this year. I always end up saying that but never actually doing anything since it's such a stretch to get out of my lazy butt routine of everything. I'm going to try harder, and try and eliminate the "WHAT IFs" from my life. Of course keeping within rash and intellectual (as I can) decisions. I've always kinda wondered what it would be like to model, which I can do for my school, or volunteer, or go to church with my roommate, or actually make an intuitive to invite people to go hang-out instead of waiting to be asked. I have to start taking advantage of life while I can, and I CAN'T WAIT TO START!

hmmm... IDK what else to say so ...

HI Car-Zar how have you been. I haven't really heard to much from you lately. Figure out anything about the big school move coming up in a year or so?

and hey Em. if your reading this drop a line or two to say hi. I would love to hear what your up to, how your first year of school has been.

Miss you all.
wish you the best. Hopefully I'll post more before the new year just yo help Ash out a bit. =P

LOVE.
Kay-Lee

2010-12-25T20:58:00.001-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Just a little post to bump our blog numbers up for this year. Hahaha.

BUMP!

^ that brought back some memories.

-ashlee

2010-12-21T13:49:00.000-08:00

Great news. We are now three blogs away from beating our 2008 record of 59 blogs. I think we can do it!

In other news... I'm now home for my month long winter break. I'm already bored. There's only a certain number of times I can have a Harry Potter movie marathon or reorganize my closet.

My best friend is in South Carolina right now and I'm super jealous. Then all my other friends from college are home (not near me) visiting their families for the Holidays. Well, scratch that, I ran into one of my college friends in Kansas City last night while I was Christmas shopping with da family. I know quite a few are coming home back in time for New Years. And I'm going to my fancy party, in my fancy shoes. Swooon. They're totes gorgeous. Haha.

Miss you girls! Blog soon! Perferably three more times before December 31 at 11:59.

Lots of love!

Hello...

2010-12-08T14:23:00.001-08:00

Anyone still here?

Since I don't know if I'll be blogging again this year. MERRY CHRISTMAS! And a Happy New Years too!

I am almost done with this semester. I have two days left of actual class, then three finals next week. I'll be able to go home on Thursday after I drop a friend off at the airport. I am so excited to get to go home and be with my family.

Christmas is pretty much the same for me this year as it is for every year. All my family on my Mom's side will be going to my grandparents house for Christmas Eve and Christmas. I actually like my cousin's on this side, so it'll probably be better than Thanksgiving with my Dad's side. We don't really do anything special for Christmas, but sit around and play cards, catch up with one another and watch the 24 hour marathon of a Christmas story. I always wanted to have that family that like sang Christmas carols, decorated cookies, and sat by the fireplace drinking hot chocolate, but no, we're just lame.

New Years should be a bit better than last year. Last year I spent the entire night in a hotel lobby, talking to a few hockey players from a huge rival team of my town, because my bff was semi-hooking up with one of them. They had a curfew and couldn't leave the hotel, so this guy wanted my bff to come over and of course she dragged me too. Lame. But this year I'm going to a fancy party. I have to wear a nice dress and they're serving dinner and there's going to be a live band. Ugh. I'm so excited.

I think I have a stalker. But that's a long story.

Hmmmmm. What have I learned lately. I can't ice skate, no matter how many time I try. All guys are perverted. I love candles. Economics is the hardest class everrrrrr.

Anyway. I miss you guys!

Here it goes.

Heyyyyyy!

What's new with me? I no longer work at my schools news station. Too time consuming, I was staying in the news room until 2 am just to get my videos done by the next morning. I like my sleep, but I still work for my dining center. It's okay, I guess.

My car died. :( I had to get a $1,200 repair on it. Goodbye all the money I've made since school started.

I've recently fallen IN LOVE with the Vampire Diaries. Gee. I didn't watch anything else last week until I was caught up on all the episodes. Nearly 30 episodes, 40 minutes each, you do the math. So. Good! I am kind of a Twilight fan, but shoot, VD is so much better!

I'm changing majors. I'm currently enrolled in 6 classes, three of which pertain to my major. Those three are my worst and most boring classes. My favorite and best class is my Physics class. All through high school I wanted to do Marine Biology, but it didn't seem practicle since I was living nowhere near the ocean, so I decided to major in Advertising because I can be pretty creative when I want to be. But I think I'm going to switch to a Biology major. I was looking up schools that offer degrees in Marine Biology last night, but there are none in Kansas! The closest was Northwest Missouri State, but if I'm going to have to pay out-of-state tution, I might at well pick a state I really would like to live in. I'm looking into some upper East Coast schools (one in Maine and another in Connecticut) and one in North Carolina (because I love it there).

What else is new... Uh. Speak Now is amazing. I really adore every single song on that album. Taylor did a really good job on this one. I mean I always thought she was amazing, but wow.

This Halloween kind of sucked for me. I didn't get to do anything on actually Halloween night, because I had to be at work at 7 am the next day. But I did hang out with some friends the day before Halloween, but we didn't dress up.

CONFLICT! Need help. This guy, Ben, used to hang out (make out) with my best friend over the summer. He wanted a relationship, but she didn't, so he'd always come to me and ask me for advice on what to do. Then at the end of the summer, she started dating this other guy and Ben was heartbroken. And who did Ben run to, yeah me. I spent an entire night on the phone with him, telling him it was going to be okay, blah, blah, blah. On to the problem, my best friend tells me that Ben is now really into me. Is it okay to date him? I mean, isn't that against some sort of girl code?

...pause. I'm hungry. lunch break.

Okay. I think that's pretty much the update on me. It's so good to hear from everyone! I miss you all!

-ashlee

p.s. changed my picture. my old picture was from nearly three years ago, time for change? I look a bit different now.

TWENTY DAYS.

2010-10-30T02:47:00.001-07:00

So much is going to be happening in the next 20 days.

Halloween for one, which I don't think I'm actually par taking in anything. I really need to get some work done. Horrible I know. But here its not like in Savannah where they hold a halloween masquerade ball.

Then I'm taking a side trip with some of the travel group to Macau. Yea not really sure whats there but I'm going. I still need to get some money together for that.

Finishing up the next 2 or so weeks of school. That include very intense projects to be completed for very demanding professors. In which I have tons of work yet to do for. I also have a couple math tests as well left.

I wish I had more time to spend in Hong Kong without the demanding schedule of school.

My mom will be recovery from surgery as well. Get better quickly Mommy. <3

Oh. Nick's les miz showing is also occurring. Which I will not be able to see. Of course the only day they show it in theaters is 2 days before I get back to the country.

And on the 20th day HARRY POTTER 7 part 1 PREMIERES!
But that would be the same day in which I will be flying for about 24 hours.
I'm not too thrilled about leaving yet. I still have some much to do. I'm most certainly not having the same doubts that I was having at the beginning of the quarter. I've really come to like it out here in Asia. minus the whole me having a cold thing. I can't wait until I have to opportunity to come back. I have met so many genuine and nice people out here. Some will be traveling back to Savannah with me, but others are on their Senior year and this will be the last chance for them to be a part of an opportunity like this. It saddens me to know that I will have to be leaving and its even more disappointing that I'm going to have to figure out how the heck I will be able to fit everything back into my luggage.

This trip seems like it was way too short.

CAE girls I miss you.
I hope you have time to post about your adventures, the blog has been a little lonely this month.

Love you all.
Kaylee

MIA. Again.

2010-10-03T19:02:00.000-07:00

It's been a while guys... Again. So sorry. My life has been crazy in the past month, and although I haven't been posting, I have been reading the blog!

Basically all I've been up to is school, cross country, and work. And trust me, between the three of those, I barely have time to hang out with my friends. Cross country is everyday after school, and then a lot of the day on Saturdays. Our season (for the people not running in Districts, Sectionals, and State... which is me) ends on October 20th, so I only have about two weeks left. I really have enjoyed CC this year. It's been hard (of course) but I ran a lot over the summer which has really helped me improve this year. And of course I love all of the girls on the team, so it will be hard not to see them everyday after school. But swimming will be starting before I know it so I guess I should enjoy the time off!

The place where I work is only seasonal, open from April through September, so I won't have to work for another six months. I was only working one night through the week and almost every weekend night, but it was still really time consuming so it's sort of a relief, although I will miss it in a month or two.

And then there's school.... people aren't kidding when they say Junior year is the toughest, or the year with the greatest workload. It's the truth. I'm only taking three AP/Honors classes (which is NOT a lot compared to a lot of my friends), and I still have a lot of homework. I really like the English class I'm taking, but it is just so much work. We had a paragraph due last Tuesday, and then an essay that is due tomorrow. A LOT of writing. But hopefully it will help my improve in that area.

Hopefully I'm going to start visiting some colleges soon, just to get some of them out of the way. I really want to go to school in Chicago so I think I'll go up there. I also am considering schools in Kansas City (Ashlee!) and I'll probably go see Mizzou and some other Missouri schools.

That's basically all I have been up to. Not too exciting. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post; hopefully the gaps will be shorter from now on. :)

I want to hear from you guys as well!!! Blog blog blog!!!!

xo Carly

Hiiii.

2010-09-28T10:36:00.000-07:00

I have literally four minutes before I have to leave for class and I thought I'd check the blog.

Kaylee! That's wonderful! I still can't believe your in Asia right now. That's crazy. I'm looking into studying abroad right now, but I haven't really picked a country yet. I really want to go to either Canada (lame I know, but I have family there) or Australia.

Emma? It's good to hear from you. It's been a while

Carly. Blog.

Well I have to go to Economics. Byeeee guys!

Hello From Hong Kong!!!

2010-09-21T02:45:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys, (you might want to get comfortable this is going to be LONG)

It's so nice to hear from everyone in the past month on here, even if its novel worthy length or just a hey.

Well I got here in Hong Kong (yes its HK ash) on the 7th or 8th of sept.. IDK my flight was 16 or so hours, well the one from NJ to HK was that long. So I was pretty much in the air all day. Flying is not as bad as i remember it to be, decending sucks a lot though.

Its very different here, but yet it feels so comfortable and somewhat familiar? IDK how its familiar when I've never been to ASIA before. Everyone is so super nice here, if your looking for something and someone doesn't speak english they will find someone that does or lead you to the place and ask if you need help with anything else. I'm guess its a much friendlier city than lets say NYC. It doesn't seem as overwhelming either even though there are building that have 40-50 floors. But it is SO incredibly pretty here, well except for right now since there is a typhoon. Which is just a fancy name for a crap load of rain for about a week. The Mid-autumn festival is tomm. I believe, it was explained to me that its kinda like a chinese thanksgiving, dinner with a bunch of friends and family and then mooncakes at the end. I'm really excited to see how the festival is like. And yet again I don't know why its the MID autumn festival when its on the first day of fall?

I was sick the first few days here, my stomach didn't agree with all the peanut oil (poor garbo would never survive here) which is awful because the first few days ALWAYS includes lots of free food. Looking back at the pictures from the dinners and lunches that I hardly ate anything in, really look appetizing right about now especially since I skipped out on desert too! I KNOW AWFUL!
The past few days I've been running around trying to find supplies, you would think that the school would plan to locate the school building around an area with a nice art store. but sadly no this was not thought through.
I'm finding out that this whole HK thing that they have been planning for a couple years just seems to look like it was thrown together about a week ago. Nothing is setup and printers aren't working yet, everything is so behind.

The apartments they have us staying in though are really nice, we have maid service twice a week, and full access to the club house facilities; gym, largest pool in hk, sauna, tennis courts etc.
I'm just really syked about having a toaster FINALLY! I've already gone through a loaf of bread just solely used for toast.

HMM.. i don't know what else to say.

Ash.. its great to hear about your collegiate adventures. Doesn't everything kinda change though once you get into school? You should really invest in a bike, walking that far everyday does not sound fun. I can't believe you have so many jobs still. I really need to get one when I get back to SAV.

Car.. I'm really glad you have been so committed to CC it sounds like lots of fun. Well besides the running part, I still despise running. Literature its that hard for me, I'm super good at just adding a bunch a artsy adjectives to make everything sound better. Plus you shouldn't be worried about it, don't you forget how we met. Your stories were amazing, don't doubt that. Writing essays sort of become second nature, but at first you just kinda have to suck it up and take that first leap its gets better once you get a hang of it and figure out the teachers style.
NO WAY you got your money back AND a free concert. Thats amazing. Sadly I wont be going to any concerts anytime soon that I know of. Rooney is coming out to Bejing I think or somewhere in China in a month or so, but I would have to travel a while and get a mainland Visa to get over there. But once Ocean.. oh crap whats the rest of their name OH Ocean Grove starts to tour, I'm so on that. I hate that they had to change their name ='[.
em.. HEY GIRLIE.. its nice to hear from you.

Ok well I think thats it for me. Check my FB for pictures and such about my adventure.

<3 You ALL
Kaylee

Ps. Ash. I think it may be time to update our pictures. Anyone agree?

world series attitude, champagne bottle life.

hey guys... i know kaylee isn't my biggest fan and i haven't talked to ash or carly in forever... but hey..

just wanted to say hi. school's lame. life's complicated. the hard times of rj berger is a funny show. i went to a smashmouth concert in the smallest city ever, and george lopez was there. it was pretty wild. everyone screamed like no other.

alrighty, bye.

MIA.

2010-09-05T12:30:00.001-07:00

So so sorry I've disappeared for almost the past month. School started, and my life completely flipped around from having so much free time in the summer to being super busy. I love it though because I feel like I'm always doing something which is a comforting feeling. Ashlee, I hope college is treating you well! And Kaylee, I guess you're in Hong Kong because we haven't heard from you so I hope it's amazing!

Other than school, I've mostly just been working and running. I have cross country six days a week, so it's super time-consuming but I love it. The practices seem like they've been extra hard this year, but I ran all summer so that has really paid off. School's okay; it feels like I never left for summer. I'm taking this class called AP Language & Composition, and it's a really tough class. Soon we'll be writing an essay every week, which will be a shock to me because I'm not a huge fan of writing. But I'm hoping it makes me a better writer, so I'm looking forward to that.

That's basically all I've been up to lately! Remember the Kings of Leon show that got cancelled after three songs that I was at? Well they rescheduled it for September 25, and I am literately so excited for it. We got refunds for the original tickets, and then we didn't have to pay for the tickets to this rescheduled show, which is awesome. So I'm going to that, and then hopefully I'll find someone to go see Vampire Weekend with in October. Are you guys going to any concerts soon?

Hope all is well!

Carly

...anyone.

2010-09-01T18:55:00.000-07:00

Guys I miss you! This summer was awesome getting to recconnect, but now everyone's busy with school, me included.

Kaylee! When do you leave for Hong Kong?! (It's Hong Kong right?)

Carly! How's school going? Still running? I miss running. I don't really know my new town well enough to be comfortable to go for a run outside. And I have run since last year. I miss it terribly.

WELLKAYIMISSYOULOVEYOUTAKECARE!!

Lots of Love,

Heyyy you guyyyysss!

2010-08-29T08:37:00.001-07:00

I guess this is my College blog part II? I've officially been going to classes and working for a week now. I have done so much stuff! THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOOOONG BLOG. I can tell you that now.

Work. I started work last Monday. It seemed alright in the beginning, nothing really to complain about. But then Wednesday rolled around. My (evil & crazy) boss made me peel and cut 150 ONIONS! I was crying like no other and I had to go to my Physics class smelling like onions. Other than that work has been fine. I only work 12 hours a week, so it's not too bad.

Walking. I have to walk everywhere on campus. It's quite literally (because I google mapped it) a mile & a half to the other side of campus. I didn't do track last spring and it's been forever since I really ran. I figured out, I'm really outta shape. My feet hurt more than they've ever hurt during CC. They don't hurt so bad anymore, but still OUCH!! I have to wear tennis shoes everywhere I go, but I don't like to. It sucks.

Class. Class is fine. Nothing much to say there. I've already written two big papers, but homework is nothing like it was in high school. The teachers could care less if you actually do it in college. In all my classes there are about 150 kids with the exception of my writing class which has 20.

Food. I LOVE CAMPUS FOOD! Ahhh! It's so good. My and my roommate have a theory though. We're not going to gain our freshman 15, because we have to walk 94,983 miles to get to class. The food here rocks and the ice cream... it's made on campus (because I live in Kansas and we have lots of farmers) it's tooooo good.

Social Life. Oh yeah. I forgot I don't have one because I'm either working or at class.

Okay. Partly true. I did go to my first party last night where I didn't know the person who's house it was. It was awful. I hated it. It was actually pretty creepy because there were about 10 girls and 30 guys, who were all pretty drunk. My roommate and I left early.

Work, second job. My new station/newspaper job is actually really time consuming. And I don't have the much time to spare. But there is one good thing that came out of it. I did a tumblr post on it (http://johlee.tumblr.com/post/1020630019/sgd-concert-experience). Basically, I got to interview a band I really liked and got to sit on the lead singers bed while I interviewed them in their freakin' TOUR BUS!

I guess that's pretty much it... if I think of something else, I'll edit this super long post.

Lots of Love!

-ashlee

College Life

2010-08-21T16:39:00.000-07:00

Hey all! I'm officially not living at home anymore and I have to say, it's really weird. I moved in on Tuesday morning and it's Saturday night right now. My roommate just moved in this morning and she seems pretty cool. I think we'll get along really well, fingers crossed.

My first day here was weird. First off I got a parking ticket. Yay! Then the lady gave me the wrong key to my room, so I had to walk all the way back to get the right one. Then, my brother was being a jerk and was so ready to get me moved in and leave as soon as he could. My parents literally brought my stuff into my room and said see ya later and left, boxes still unpacked. Ugh. Then I had to work later that day, so I had to make the 20 minute hike across campus. But I met this girl on the way there who's becoming one of my good friends (we both love the band Hawk Nelson).

The next few days were okay. I met everyone on my floor who had already moved in (about 20 outta 100) and they were super nice! I went bowling with some of them and gave out my number to my first college guy. His name is Matt. Oh! And I met this frat guy who I apparently already met at a baseball game (remember those games I took my cousin too?). I don't remember him, but whatever, he has pretty blue eyes (swooon) and I met his friend who is such a pretty boy (I am <3-ing college guys).

What else... I filmed my first two videos for the news station today! I awkwardly filmed people moving in and they all gave me death glares. Then I got to risk my life filming a video about the construction!! Yay!

I'm gonna be super busy. I have like no free time at all. OH!!! My college now has a hockey team! I think I died and went to heaven. I'm convincing my 'boss' for the news station to let me do a story on it.

I'm sure I forgot something... I don't know what. I'll remember later and edit this post.

Lots of love!

2010-08-15T18:10:00.000-07:00

I got the CR2 CD the other day, my little sister and I went halfsies. I'm not as crazy about it as I am JONAS L.A. But I'm in love with 'Introducing Me', so cute. I'm not going to any shows for this tour. JB canceled the Wichita, KS show and that's the one I would have gone to. I think Kaylee is going to one (or two?).

I move in less than 36 hours! It's actually really depressing. I'm not nearly packed all the way and I keep putting it off. I'm only moving an hour away, but, gee, I'm gonna miss my town. Even if it is super small with nothing to do.

I just got back from a mini vacation to... St. Joseph, MO. I actually had more fun than I thought I would. The trip was kind of all about my older brother, who had a mountain bike race. Our hotel was an indoor water park and aside from all the little kids and Justin Bieber music, it was fun.

Now I'm unpacking all my clothes from the trip and repacking for college. You never really know how much clothes you own until you have to pack all of it. I only packed half my clothes and I already have four huge boxes. Well, I should probably get back to packing. The next time I blog, I'll be sitting in my KSU dorm room!

-ashlee

Guys if we keep up this massive blogging, we might just beat our 2008 record of 59 blog posts! Cheyesss!

2010-08-13T20:37:00.001-07:00

I've been meaning to blog throughout this past week, but I guess I've been busy!

I babysat three days this week, which was a lot for me. But I made a bunch of money! Between that and working, I've been earning so much money this summer, which is pretty exciting.

I started cross country on Monday. It's been extremely hot here in St. Louis, and because the heat index was over 105 on Monday, we weren't allowed to practice outside (it was 3PM... of course it was hot). We had practice at 8AM the next two days, and then someone had the bright idea of having practice at 5:30 in the morning. So for the past two mornings, I've gotten up at 5:00 and went out to practice. It has not been fun, let me tell you. Today I've been up for a total of almost 18 hours. That is crazy. Tomorrow I get to sleep in though!

That's pretty much all I've been up to... working and cross country. And attempting to finish all of my summer homework prior to the first day of school on Wednesday, which I am not particularly looking forward to. OH! I finally bought the Jonas LA CD last week and I just put it in the car yesterday... it's all I've been listening to. I thought it was going to be lame at first, but it's actually really good. Now I have to force myself to go get the CR2 soundtrack and see how it is. It's harder than you might think, listening to the Jonas Brothers, mostly because I know they're on tour and I won't be seeing them. I'm not depressed or anything, but it's still kind of sad. I know I'll always love them, even if it's just a little bit. Are any of you guys going to any shows? I can't remember.

goodnight!

Y'allllll.

2010-08-06T21:18:00.000-07:00

True fact: I can do a mean southern accent and sometimes, when I'm talking to people, I'll randomly say words in a southern accent, on accident.

For instance. I was at my friends 21st birthday party last weekend and I was telling a story to a bunch of drunks and all of a sudden they started laughing at me asking if I was from Texas or something. Apparently I had said some words in a southern accent and didn't even know it. I swear, I was born and raised in Kansas.

AND I SAY THE WORD 'COOL' WEIRD! Or at least I think I do, people say it doesn't sound weird to them when I ask. But tonight I said 'cool' and someone told me it sounded like a Canadian accent. I've only been to Canada twice, so I'm not sure where I picked that up.

My life in the past two weeks has been boring, like the rest of my summer. I've either been packing up my room to move or making trips to town to buy stuff I randomly remember I need for my dorm. I move in 10 days! That's so crazy. I'm not ready to live by myself, but I think I'll do okay.

Um. I just caught myself up on JONAS LA (thank you netflix) and I have to say, it's so much better than last season. And I adore Nick&Macy. So cute. And I like Stella more in this season, I wasn't too keen on her last season.

Tonight was my last Friday night hanging out with my two best friends. It's kind of bitter sweet, because we hang out every Friday night and they both (their sisters) are going to be in KC next weekend. I'm not ready to move. I would very much like it if summer was another month long.

This is getting long. I'll just sign off now.

Lots of Love.

Pigeons?

2010-08-02T15:05:00.001-07:00

We have 130 posts. That's quite a few.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY KAYLEE. I was somewhat stranded up in the northwoods of Wisconsin last week and was unaware that your birthday was so soon so I did not wish you a happy birthday. But I am now! I hope you had a good day!

The night before I left for Wisconsin, I went to see Kings of Leon with my mom. I bought the tickets probably back in April or May, so I had been looking forward to this for months. Of course, since I basically live in an armpit, it was super hot and humid outside. We got there around 6:30, and it was supposed to start at 7:30. The first two opening acts came on, and both were really good (The Postelles and The Stills). Kings of Leon came on around 9:15, and the whole crowd was going crazy. They played three songs (Closer, Crawl, Taper Jean Girl) and then all of the sudden they walked off stage after the third song. We were really confused, but I just assumed they were taking a break, which was weird because it usually takes quite a few songs for a band to take a break. A few minutes later someone came on the speakers and said that the "show was cancelled due to safety concerns". Everyone got so mad and we all just stood there for like five minutes, hoping they were just joking. I was getting Nathan Followill's tweets to my phone (@doctorfollowill) and he tweeted right as we were walking to our car. It turns out that some pigeons were in the rafters above the right side of the stage (it was an outdoor amphitheater) and they had been pooping all over the bassist (in his mouth?) as well as the first two acts. It's kind of a dumb reason to cancel. I'm not really mad though; I'd still see them if they came back although I think they lost a ton fans here. It even made CNN.com:

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Music/07/24/kings.of.leon.pigeons/index.html#fbid=jGsO1yc7Rqk

My trip to Wisconsin was really fun though! I'll have to save more details for the next blog post because this post is too long already.

Last day of being 18.

2010-07-28T10:04:00.000-07:00

Hello All.

Today as you can read above is the last day of my 18 years of life, meaning tomorrow I'm turning 19!! Exciting right? It hasn't even registered to me yet that my birthday is tomorrow.

Ok so what have I been doing? Pretty much nothing.
I've gone shopping at almost every possible store and I have found out I just don't feel like shopping because I can't find any cute clothes it's quite depressing. Other than that I just dropped my dogs off at the groomers so they can get their hair did. ugh my sister is seriously texting me every 10 minutes to see if her phone has gotten sent to the house yet since her cell was stolen the other day. Anyways since the dogs are gone the house is so creepily quiet. And I HATE being alone I start hearing things then it freaks me out and I then formulate about 5 places to hide and call the police from. ALone is not good for me. Alone and dark is much much worse though.

The only plans I have for today are to go get some Rita's courtesy of Ethan. Oh and my chores courtesy of Mom, thanks Mom I love you!

I have no idea why your mom is saying your lazy ash. Its not as if all you have done all summer is sit in your bed and wait for your friends that don't exist call you. oh wait thats me. But dude you have THREE jobs, I still can't get one, granted I am slightly picky about the job. Like I refuse to work where I know everyone, or in a grocery store or restaurant. That darn economy is enabling new workers like me to actually get a job. And I need a job, like A LOT since I am going to be in a bunch of debt in about 3 years.

I can't believe school starts for you so soon Ash. I;m off to Hong Kong in 6 weeks.. Ah that sounds so soon. My roommate Nika just informed me of that, for here its only 5 weeks since she is going over early. But I get to see Nika finally all of Kate, Nika and my plans didn't turn out too great for the summer. We were supposed to see each other for a week or so but Nika is road-tripping and staying with me for a day so at least I get to see one of my roommates.

Car- can't wait to hear more from you. Im sorry the KOL concert didn't go so well.

Well I think I'm done rambling.
I'll check in soon hopefully with more news.

Love ya Guys.

L.A. L.A. Baby.

2010-07-27T10:02:00.000-07:00

Has everyone else bought their copy of JONAS L.A.?! I did. I admit I was a little skeptical about it because in my opinion JB hasn't come out with a REALLY good CD since their self-titled one. But I got it none the less and I have to say, I LOVE IT!

I really think it's my second favorite CD they've released. Really. My top three songs are: 1. Things Will Never Be The Same 2. Critical 3. LA Baby.

Ugh. I'm so in love with this CD it's not even funny.

Back to real life though. I got an e-mail from my college that said, I'll be working at an on campus job. Which is good! But now I'll have three jobs. I'd like my mom to tell me I'm a lazy bum now. I'll be working for the college news station/paper (paying job!), in the cafeteria (paying job! and it really isn't that bad), and I'll still have the graphic job for Theresa (paying job!).

I have to start training for the cafeteria job a week early than school starts, which means, I'll have to move in a week early. I'm kind of excited about this though. I get to pick my bed, desk, dresser, & closet before my roommate gets there. And I'll get to skip the big mess of people moving in. Downside is I'll be in my dorm, practically by myself for a week. Boo.

Anyway. I have so much stuff to get for my dorm! I think I'm going shopping tonight, I hope.

LOL! (lots of love! Trailblazer in Amsterdam...)

hello again.

2010-07-22T13:15:00.000-07:00

So since we're all telling specific details about our days...

Yesterday was an interesting day for me. I woke up and went to a funeral, but I'm not going to talk about because it's slightly depressing. At 1:30, my friend and I drove out to Six Flags because we were going to see The Maine out there that night. We thought the concert started at 5, so we went out pretty early (1:30) only to find out that it was at 7. We picked up our tickets that I bought online, and we ended up getting fifth row, which was surprising because it's basically first come, first serve if you buy them online. It rained a little while we were there, so we just chilled most of the day until the concert. The Maine ended up being incredible live!!! I wasn't surprised, but I had never seen them before so I thoroughly enjoyed it. The leader singer, John, came out without his shirt on, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't wearing underwear underneath his jeans... It was quite entertaining.

And this is a concert-filled week for me. Tomorrow I'm going to see Kings of Leon (aka my obsession) with my mom. My mom, you might ask? Yes, my mom. None of my friends really like them, and my dad went to the last KOL concert with me, so I asked my mom this time. It should be interesting.

Then I leave for Wisconsin on Saturday and I won't be home until August 1st. And unfortunately, I won't have internet access for most of the trip, so this will probably be my last blog post. I'll blog all about it when I get back!

Whoooooa Nelly.

2010-07-21T23:26:00.000-07:00

Hello fellow CAKE girls. I've missed you!

Today was a particularly normal day for me, I think I've finally fallen into the routine that I call summer break. My day started out pretty early (read: 10 AM), I then watched yet another episode of my latest obsession, Friday Night Lights. Dillon, TX is pretty much the exact same as my town, sad, yes.

Then this guy, Tyler, texted me a winky face and that's it. Tyler used to play hockey for our towns team and has tried multiple ways to get me to 'party' with him, but I have to say this is my favorite. And he lives in Washington... I think he took one too many pucks to the head, because last time I checked that's 1,850 from where I am. (And this totally happened two days ago, but I thought it was blog worthy).

I then went outside after eating a hotdog (because my mom is crazy and we have about 6,354,455 hotdogs in our freezer plus/minus a few (read: plus 500)) and turned on the pool filter at 2 PM. I came back inside, fiddled with a burnham graphic for burnhamfans.com. Then I got a DM tweet saying Burnham gave me a looooong shout out at their concert last night. I kept my cool about the situation (read: jumped around the room) and went to tell my little sister (read: bragged).

Next I decided to work on my awkward tan line, which looks a bit like a soccer tan line, except opposite. Bottom half of my legs = tan, top half of my legs does not equal tan. Thank you 10 hours outside in Bermuda shorts. As soon as I got in the pool, my parents tell me they fixed dinner (read: ordered pizza). Of course right as I just got in.

I then got dressed in my pjs at 5 pm and watch another episode of FNL. At 7:30 my dad tells me he needs me to drive into town and get something super important (read: blank cd's). I, being the great daughter I am, agree to this. I get dressed in a presentable attire (read: sweat shorts and a tanktop) and make the thirty minute drive to town.

After I purchased said CD's, I walked out to the parking lot to find a group of well represented gentlemen (read: hicks) parked next to my car. After a few tasteful greetings (read: 'hey baby''get lost') I adjourned back home after stopping by sonic of course.

I then had a joyful conversation with my sister about sleeping pills and why I don't like taking them and how I can't be on my laptop in the dark. She then literally lol'd and proceeded to tell her friends I'm stupid. And now, I'm blogging this.

That was my day ladies. Eventful? I'll let you be the judge of that. Tomorrow, my friends are coming over to go swimming after basketball camp. I don't go to the camp. Just a few (read: all) of my friends are more athletic than me. I just provide to the post bball camp party.

Hi all.

2010-07-17T21:03:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't blogged in forever... busy again! I've been working a lot, and this week I'll be even busier, and then I go out of town for a week! So this might be the last blog you see from me for a while... hopefully not!

Tonight was a hard night at work. One of the girls who I work with was supposed to come in tonight, but it turns out that her dad had a heart attack this afternoon and passed away. When something like this happens, it truly makes you put things in perspective and realize what is most important in life. At least it did for me. So I have one thing to ask you all: please give your dads a hug tonight.

I'm heading to bed. I love you all.

Goodnight,

Carly

3:00 AM

2010-07-12T01:00:00.001-07:00

It really is 3 AM and I can't sleep. My parents wake up in an hour... maybe I'll just wait for them to get up? Haha. I did that once, I stayed up all night and then went to talk to my parents while they were getting ready for work. They're like "Ashlee, you're up early." And I said, "Not really, I still haven't gone to sleep." I was 12 at the time and they laughed it off, but if I did that now... I'd get in trouble for staying up to late.

Anyway! Wlhoahwslfhsdfhsd!! I just got the weirdest e-mail. Picture....

http://twitpic.com/24lzeb

I seriously thought I had a heart attack. Well, I guess it's ok, because Taylor and I ARE getting married someday, self-declared (have you gotten the wedding invites yet?). But upon further inspection, it's some random fan-twitter page. Grrrr! I was super excited when I saw it though. Haha.

Random. I know.

-ashlee

Long time, no blog

2010-07-11T10:14:00.000-07:00

So I guess I've been really busy in the past week, even though it doesn't feel like it, because I haven't had enough time to blog... but I have time now!

I've been working a lot in the past week, but I've also been doing a lot of stuff with my group of friends, which is weird, because last month I hardly saw them at all. It's been fun though! Yesterday we made a slip and slide and in my backyard, which was really fun. I highly recommend it if you have two tarps just lying around.

Ashlee -- congratulations on getting that paid graphics job!!! I'm so proud!!!! You have to let us know how it goes!

Kaylee -- That's so exciting that you won that Cambio prize!! I think I've only been on Cambio once or twice, but I might have to check it out now that I know they give out cool prizes.

A tornado warning thing just popped up on the TV... I had no idea we were even supposed to get back weather...

I promise I'll blog again soon!!!

Dog Sitting

2010-07-11T06:34:00.000-07:00

Hello People of Earth.
I am so tired. For the past few days...hm 4 days I have been looking after my friends family dogs. I've done this plenty of times but their nana gave them one of her puppies and their golden retriever, Lacy, my favorite died when I was at school. So the spoiled dog that is mom's little princess is depressed and actually quite old now. On top of that there is now that darn 2 year old puppy. My sister was the first one to look after him.. he was pure torture and she attached some devil horns to a picture of him. It was hilarious. Ok so Jake, aka the little devil. Is surprisingly much calmer but ugh he is so much work. I think they may miss their family so jake has been peeing on things such as a bag of toys I brought him or the floor that is 6 inches away from the pee pad. Plus I have to wake up at 6:30 for the past 3 days. YAY Logan for winning your baseball games and delaying everyone from coming home. Not to mention my dogs won't come near me or sleep in my bed because I smell like these runts.
The first night was the best though. I thought hey I'll stay over so I won't have to drive early in the morning. So I'm over here and it's dark and I get tired so I go upstairs to find a bed. I then proceed to hear noises so I freak and move to another room. I then proceed to hear some more different noises and as im trying to determine an exit strategy and/or hiding spot I realize there isn't any more room in the room. So I call my sleeping mother and wait on the floor until my parents drove over here so I could walk down to my car. I know horrible. I felt really bad for waking my mom up.
Ok so thats my pathetic story, apparently I'm not good with being alone in the dark.

Ok well what else has been going to with my life besides making some money for a short period of time. i believe that would be a big bunch of nothing. I should be going to 3 concerts this summer though. Brad Paisley, Rooney, and JB.

Ashlee... Im so proud that you got a quite awesome job. I saw the website last night, yea its kinda scary looking right now... go make it look pretty. I heard something about them last week. But I was unconvinced they could be anything like the Jonas Brothers. But after further research its like a little mini group. The only thing I can find different about the group is that they are as cute as JB, Nick was one year younger when ever they were discovered and they have more of a techno-ish sound. Plus I don't know what instruments they play. I'm sort of scared to see a switching of posters on some girls walls. Hey but the whole younger fans won't be too much of an issue if that happens.

Carly.. I don't know what your doing right now. probably seeing another concert I wish I could attend.

Em.. hey if your reading this

Ok im done rambling. I think.
Wait no. Ash tell me if you need any help for the site, second opinions or sketches/paintings I could perhaps make and scan/email to you, or you know just draw b/c I do have a tablet... Its awesome.

Ok now I'm done!
I promise
Love you all Lots
K

oops, no I lied..
PS. I won that Cambio contest that has 13 winners. I can't wait to get my camera, t-shirt, and surprise gift!
PPS. I saw despicable me yesterday it was cute. afterwards me, my sister, and ethan walked around the mall. Note to self never go to the mall on the weekend, too crowded. But we ended up in the disney store, I guessed correctly how much on sale the camp rock dolls were plus we checked out the stuffed animals. sadly no perry.
But the Lotso bear from TS3 they did have and guess what HE SMELLS LIKE STRAWBERRIES!

Ahhhhh!

2010-07-10T20:41:00.000-07:00

You guys know who Theresa is right? The girl who owns JBFA? Wellll, I just got an email from her and she wants to know if I would make graphics for her new fansite! She said she's going to pay me too! Yay! My first paying graphic design job. I'm so excited.

The band is called Burnham. They look like the new Jonas Brothers, I'm not even going to lie. Three brothers, age 14, 16, 18 and the youngest is the lead singer/front man? Yeah, new Jonas Brothers.

Weird. I tweeted about it and somehow my tweet ended up on their main site, then all these weird, random people started following me on twitter, so I deleted my tweet.

Anyway... OMGIMSOEXCITED! My mom just told me 'she's proud of me'. That's definitely a compliment coming from my mom, because she thinks I'm a lazy bum, even if I do already have a job.

Lots of love,

-ashlee

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes.

2010-07-08T18:55:00.000-07:00

If you haven't noticed, I changed the header. It's pretty much the same one we had before, except I changed the large picture, the font, and it's bigger. If anyone disapproves, tell me.

No changes in my life, really, sadly. I did clean my room up! And it looks super nice and it makes me want to never get it dirty again... yeah, that's not going to happen.

I'm going cyber-bowling tomorrow with some friends, which should be fun, I hope. The last time we went bowling was an absolute mess. Long story.

Funny story. I took my little cousins to a baseball game, right? The eight year old knew more than I did and I asked him how he knew so much about baseball. He told me he learned it all from wii sports. Go figure. He also taught me how to throw a curve ball... hit the 'a' button. Geeze, this kid cracks me up and he's super cute.

Until later,

-ashlee

P.S. I've officially decided, I'm going to marry Taylor Lautner. Invites to the wedding should be out soon, look for them.

2010-07-04T23:26:00.000-07:00

You make me melt like a Popsicle on the 4th of July!

It's so July 5th right now, but I'm wide awake. I just saw Eclipse with two of my guy friends (I dragged them unwillingly) because all of my girlfriends have already seen it or they're out of town. I <3 Taylor.

My 4th kind of sucked. It rained, like all day in my neck of the woods. The baseball game I was going to go to got canceled and we couldn't shoot any fireworks off because of the rain. Hints the reason I went to the movies.

I just found this out like two minutes ago, I haven't even told my parents yet, feel special. I got a job working for the news channel at my college next semester! My best friends sister is the head honcho for the news channel next semester and she said she'd hire me! Yay! No more grocery store! I'll probably be their freshman, do-what-we-tell-you person, but I don't really care! I'm so excited!!!

Carly! I love Trailblazer in Amsterdam! I just read it, like three weeks ago. I loved it so much. Seriously one of the best I've ever read. I really wasn't reading it anymore, but I started reading this and couldn't stop. It just seems so real and not fanfiction-y at all.

Well, anyway. Happy 5th of July! Since I kind of missed the 4th by about 2 hours my time.

-ashlee

HAPPY 4TH.

2010-07-04T21:08:00.001-07:00

It's still the 4th here in Missouri, so I can still say that, right? Right.

My day was pretty good! I woke up and went for a run, then we went to a friend's house to swim for a couple hours. My grandparents were having a party/BBQ at 2, so we went there afterwards. Of course, after a week of nice 80 degree weather, today is the most humid/hot day. I was sweating so much (gross, but true). I came home and chilled with the A/C for a while, then went up to the park where the fireworks were going off. There were TONS of people, but my friends and I eventually found our group of friends and we all watched the fireworks together. Everyone split up afterward, but apparently this one kid was having a party or whatever. Now I must tell you that I am NOT the party type. At all. As soon as I got word of this party, I was like seeeee ya. I think I just don't do well around a whole bunch of people, especially at someone's house whom I do not know around people who probably don't know I exist. I'm so much more comfortable in smaller groups with people I actually know. But whatever. My friends dropped me off at home, and now I am blogging for you all to read. :) So enjoy!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday... I expect full reports!

Love you all!

xo Carly

P.S. Not sure if any of you read fan fiction anymore, but I came across this story a few days ago and just finished it this evening... SO GOOD. http://www.jonasbrothersfanfictionarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=10108

Rawrrrrr.

2010-07-03T09:54:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!

They canceled the show I was planning on going too, big word planning. My sister and I wanted to go, but then again we didn't want to spend tons of money. We decided to wait until the Road Dogs schedule came out and if they were playing a game here, we would just go to the game not the concert, but if they weren't playing a game, we'd just go to the concert. But now we're not going to either, sigh.

I Ashlee, love baseball. I took my ten & eight year old cousin's to the game last night and they had a blast, B.L.A.S.T!!.. The eight year old caught three foul balls! So of course he had to get all the players to sign them. We waited for 30 minutes after the game, for every player to get out of the dugout. But college guys with little kids = super cute.

Is it lame to say I've never really been TPing? Well, I have, my friends did it just about every weekend for a while there, but I was so afraid of getting in trouble I just sat in the car and kept guard. I've tagged lots of cars, I keep a window marker in my purse, but I've never TPed, weird. Wait I lied, I have TPed before, but the girl came outside while we were doing it and was pissed off and I felt so bad I cleaned it up. I'm such a good person, haha.

Oh man. I had a drama filled last night. Long story short, two guys liked my BFF. One is like 16 and a complete jerk and the other is 20 and the sweetest guy ever. She chose the jerk, left for vacation for a week and now the sweet guy is heartbroken. I feel so bad for him! He called me and texted me all last night completely upset. Poor kid.

That's my life so far.

-ashlee

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! It's tomorrow... but still! What are you guys doing? I'm going to my Grandma's house for a BBQ and some fireworks, then we're going to a fancy Country Club for more fireworks. No one in my family belongs there, but a relative of mine is a Manager there, I'm not that rich.

2010-07-02T14:33:00.001-07:00

I agree Kaylee-- I love seeing responses, too. I check so often now!

So we all know that the Jonas Brothers cancelled some shows. Unfortunately, they cancelled the one I was supposed to go to in St. Louis. I was a little upset when I first read about it, but I honestly hadn't even thought about it in such a long time that it isn't even a big deal. The plus side is that now, once I hopefully get my money back for the ticket (close to $115... why even spent that much in the first place, I do not know), I can buy a ticket to see Something Corporate in August and Vampire Weekend in October. Fun stuff! Plus I like having money. And $100 is a lot.

Other than that I haven't had much going on... my friends and I had this big dance party the other night (it sounds really lame but it was actually really fun). We went TPing as well, which was just great. I think I stayed up way too late though because I'm still exhausted and it was almost three days ago.

>carly

PS I love hearing from you guys!!!!

Heeey

2010-07-02T08:32:00.000-07:00

Hi girlies. (perhaps guys if anyone else is reading this)
Ah. it feels so good to be able to click on this lovely site and actually see responses. < yup still can't spell that word correctly, thank you spell check.

I'm glad you guys are having fun.

Car-Zar how was hilton head. Its i think at most 40 mins away from my school. I stayed there for a few days after a break when my parents were dropping me back off at SAV. It is pretty nice down there. I almost miss swimming while I walk. =P

Well I just submitted my visa stuff, so I am one step closer to getting to Hong Kong.

My life has been pretty uneventful. My mom was recently trying to buy some $10 tickets for some concerts. I think the only thing we are going to is a country concert. I'm not exactly sure whos playing or when. Maybe its sugarland, that would be awesome. I've recently in the past few years have rediscovered my love for country music again. But you know me I try to listen to everything under the sun, like underoath who still crack me up everytime i hear one of their songs. Its just like me and yoga I can't help but laugh.. A LOT.

Ash. hmm I'm not really sure who Jake Owen is. I probably do but I'm not to great with connecting artists to songs. And of course Nicole Kidman was there she is Keith Urban's fiance or wife (I'm not sure which it is at this moment in time). But that's really awesome that you met him. I must see your picture.

oh what else was I going to say oh.. I don't think this is what I was thinking of but Emma IM/texted me the other day. IDK i get really random IMs from her occasionally. but she said she was listening to ALBL for the first time since she stopped liking JB in March. "and whoever said that line about cake.. I was like ... awww ):" So Emma is alive. Which is good to know, thought i would keep you guys in the loop.

hmm.. oh this is what I was going to say.
I have come to love Christa Black even more. Well as you possibly know she had a rough life in the past and usually blogs her story to help others girls with the same issues. Well she wrote a book, and shes giving this amazing opportunity to other artists to come in and design something, any form of art from her main idea of the chapter and lyrics she wrote. I was so excited when she made this announcement. I actually have something to do. so go check out her blog and send her some art because I know your graphics are awesome Ash so you could probably send something in to her as well. Christa's Blog

Well I think that may be it. I kid you not when I mean NOTHING is happening over in my neck of the woods =P. besides my discovery of frontierville which I've been playing unheathly amounts of. Oh I am going to the VA beach Jonas concert. I just have to sell my other tickets. SO if anyone wants to go to the Jonas Brothers Charlotte or Raliegh show please leave a comment I HAVE TICKETS for both.

Happy Second day of birthday month to ME!! 27 more days till I'm 19! exciting.

Love you All
Kaylee

WOAH OK I GUESS I DON'T NEED PEOPLE TO BUY MY TICKETS ANYMORE CONSIDERING JB JUST CANCELED 20 SHOWS. WOAH. THANK GOODNESS I BOUGHT THAT VA BEACH TICKET.

2010-07-01T16:30:00.000-07:00

In response to Carls post, plus other stuff... (did we ever call you Carls? or is that my other friends named Carly?)

1. Pretty Little Liars WAS INTENSE! I cannot get enough of that show. I need to know who A is. I think it's the blind girl (errr, can't remember her name), but then again, I think they want us to think it's her, so it's probably someone random. But really, I loooooove this show. I think I need to read this series.

2. I did not know that. I know Katie works for Cambio now (actually, I think Karleigh does too). Do they just not run the site, but still own it? Because if I owned that site, I would not give it up. Geeze, how amazing would it be to be them. At first they were little fans, with a fansite and now they own a huge network of fansites and Katie is roommates with Tiffany Thorton and goes to concerts with Demi Lovato. That's crazy. I still have their old e-mail addresses in my address book from the days of when I was a Mod at JBF (and Mr. Santry's too!).

3. I've decided baseball is my summer sport, since hockey is not played during the summer. I got a season pass and I've been going to a lot of my towns games. The guys who play are college kids, who want a summer league to play on, so scouts and stuff and come and watch them. It's kind of the same as the hockey team in my town. It's like a step between college and semi-profession, not sure what you'd call that.

4. My paragraphs are super long.

5. I figure out who my roommate is this week! I hope I don't get stuck with a weirdo.

6. I have to drive my sister to town in a little bit. She's 16! I hope she gets her license soon, I'm sick of driving her around. I mean she has her own car and everything, it just sits in the driveway, untouched.

7. I just found a dollar and some gum on my dresser!

8. Fun fact. I keep random items of food in weird places. Like in high school, I always had a box of poptarts and a 24 pack of coke in my photography locker for early mornings. And I used to have the HUGE bag of Bugles in my car. And sitting right next to me on my dresser is a HUGE bag of animal crackers.

9. Ok, I'm done.

Lots of love,

-ashlee

Number 2 for the day....

2010-06-29T19:16:00.000-07:00

Two things:

1. How INTENSE was Pretty Little Liars tonight??? (I think you guys watch it..?) I love it so much. The mystery... it's so fantastic.

2. Were you guys aware that Katie + Karleigh didn't run any of the fangap sites anymore? I was so confused when I read that...

peace!

In response to Ashlee's last post.....

I'm the same way about country music. My mom LOVES it, my dad had a country phase and still listens to it, and I can tolerate it most of the time. One of the girls I work with loves it as well, so we listen to it all the time. But that's so awesome that you went to that festival and met him!! The name sounds familiar but I think I'll have to go look him up now...

What else to blog about... OH! My vacation! Hilton Head was so much fun. I just went with my family (mom, dad, two younger brothers) so it was a LOT of family time, but it was still really fun. We pretty much followed the same schedule all week: beach, pool, out to dinner, with the occasional mini-golf or shopping trip thrown in there. The weather was beautiful the entire week; somewhat hot and humid, but there was always a breeze from the ocean which was nice. The heat index here in St. Louis while we were gone was 110 degrees, so I'm glad I wasn't here for that. But the trip was really fun, even though it went by way to quickly. Our other family vacation to Wisconsin is in about a month so I have that to look forward to. Other than that, I'll mostly just be working and running and going to a few concerts here and there. And of course reading all of your blog posts!!!

PS Do any of you watch the Bachelorette??

Yeee Haw!

2010-06-28T15:09:00.001-07:00

I was doing so well on the blog everyday thing! And now it's been eight days.

I've never been into country music, not that I hated it. If I had a choice between country and rock, I'd pick rock, but if country was on, I wouldn't complain about it. Thursday-Sunday, I was at a Country music festival in my area. Four solid days of Country music and it's not little known bands that play, it's people like Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Montgomery Gentry, and Jake Owen. I don't really know if you guys listen to country much, but those guys are BIG in country music. I didn't really know this, but this festival is huge too. Like people from all over the country come to it. There were estimated 8,000 people there in this huge field.

I went with my cousin and she's really into Country music and I have to say, I'm kind of getting into it now. The first day was ok, I didn't really know anyone. The second day was great because Keith Urban was there and guess who else? Nicole Kidman was there! How exciting. The third day was pretty uneventful too, except it was nearly 100 degrees outside.

Sunday was by far my favorite day. The only Country person I really listened to prior to the festival was Jake Owen and he performed that day. He sings Eight Second Ride, if you've heard it before. Yeah, out of the 25+ people who were there, he was the only one I knew. And he's unbelievably hot.

About an hour after his concert, we decided to leave. We were kind of hungry so we decided to grab some Taco Bell. So I'm sitting in the drive-thru and I look over at the Wendy's parking lot and there's a tour bus. I told my cousin about it and she didn't think it was, but I've been to enough concerts to know it was. After we got our food we went to Wendy's to eat it. We really didn't recognize anyone hanging around the bus and we were just about to leave, when Jake Owen walks out of Wendy's! I got to talk him for a while, while he ate a frosty. And then I got my picture taken with him and he got on his bus to leave. And in the picture, I look totally stupid, so I'm not going to post it. My skin is sun burned and I'm wearing this bandanna-head band thing like I'm on Survivor or something.

I finished my uneated Taco Bell and five minutes after they left we headed back home. Half way home we got behind this truck and just kind of stayed there the entire time, while we gushed about how cute Jake Owen is. About an hour later we pulled off on our exit and low and behold, we had been following Jake's bus all the way home. It was crazy how the only person I really cared about, I got to meet at Wendy's of all places.

That was my Honky Tonk weekend.

KSU Wildcats!

2010-06-20T12:29:00.000-07:00

I'm officially a Wildcat now. Yay! I had freshmen orientation yesterday and I actually had a lot more fun then I thought I would. They seated all 500 of us based on our intended major. I'm going for Advertising/Public Relations/Journalism, guys, out of the 500 kids there, there were 7 of us going for journalism. I'm not sure if I should feel good that it my classes will be smaller or worried that everyone else was sitting in the engineering section.

I met some new people, got my schedule figured out for next year, and took a tour of where I'll be living!

Isn't it beautiful! I have some friends who are going to be seniors next year who live in this dorm, so I already knew what it looked like, but I looooove it. The entire campus at KSU is beautiful, all old rock buildings.

I found out something about myself yesterday that I didn't know. K-State has a student run news show and I've been on it. I met one of the people who does the editing yesterday and she said she recognized me from somewhere. We figured out my friend, Steph, who does a lot of the outside filming had taken videos of me doing random things around campus and they put it in the show! Apparently there's this interview of me talking about how the rowing team is awesome? I remember going to the Big XII rowing competition with Steph and her doing a mock interview on me, but I don't remember that.

Ahhh! I'm so excited to start college now! Before I was pretty nervous, but I think I'm good now. I just need to meet my roommates and get a few more things for my dorm and I'm ready to move in. Haha.

Lots of love,

ashlee

Nothing on Youuuu!

2010-06-18T11:51:00.000-07:00

Nothing On You by B.o.B., is pretty much my favorite song of the moment. One of my friends remixed it with new lyrics and lets just say even with his wacky lyrics, I still love this song.

I just mowed the back yard at the hottest part of the day. Me = stupid, but I got a bit more tan. It's hot in Topeka. It's hot in Topeka! Tooe-peeker. Topeka's hotttt! Have you guys seen that video? I'm not weird, I swear that's from a show.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_IlsPypwZs)

Hmmm. I have to wake up at 6 am tomorrow! During summer?! That's crazy! Then I'm off to Manhattan for orientation. I am excited and if you remember from previous posts, my parents went out of town yesterday! And the won't be back until Sunday. Me = Very excited.

Carly, I see you are in Nashville at the moment I'm writing this. Twitter told me. Have lots of fun on your vacation! I leave from Texas in a month, yesss!! We're finishing all our plans for the trip on Monday.

Another random blogg. Sorry, tomorrows or Sunday will have a point. Lots of love,

Ashlee

a few points of interest....

2010-06-16T19:46:00.000-07:00

1. KAYLEE !!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see that you posted!!! I'm glad you're alive!!!! I'm actually going to be a junior next year... so young compared to you guys!

2. I'm almost positive that we all watch Pretty Little Liars. SO GOOD. We can all talk about it now!!!!!

3. I'm going on vacation in two days!!!!!

That's all.

I'll blog again when I get home!

xoxoxo crs (my initials)

Hallelujah!! Kaylee's alive!!

2010-06-15T20:41:00.000-07:00

Kaylee. It's fine that you don't read my insanely long blog posts. I just like to rant and my friends like to tell me to shut up. So I have no one to tell but yous guys.

THANKGOODNESSYOURALIVE!! I was starting to wonder. And I sent you a letter on Monday, it's really rather random. Hope you get it soon.

I too watched pretty little liars today. I'm really liking that show, I'm very into mysteries/dramas. Also today, I drove my little sister to her friends house, where she will be staying until Sunday!! My parents are going out of town on Thursday and they don't want her staying home alone with me, but that only means Ashlee now has the house to herself!

Fun fact. I've had a hotdog every single day this summer. My mom is insane and likes to buy stuff in bulk. Anyway she bought like, a bazillion hotdogs, I keep trying to get rid of them at bonfires and such, but it's like I take one away and five more appear in our freezer. Ok, more like Ashleeiscrazy fact.

Yes, it is sad JBF died when we left. R.I.P jonasbrothersfan.com.

Another fun fact. I'm listening to Rooney right now and it makes me feel like I should be driving down the highway in Cali with my moonroof open and windows down. Oh! I got a new car! It's a Toyota Camry, boring, but reliable and it has a moon/sunroof. Which my friends love, because for some wacky reason, they think it's fun to drive down country roads with their heads sticking out of the top.

Oh goodness. It's almost midnight and I was just informed that I'm going up to my cousin's house for a few days, leaving tomorrow morning. They live a few hours away in a smaller than mine, town and I have to drive myself. On the plus side, it's my 20 year old male cousin with all the super cute cowboy friend. Swooon.

Random blog. I like to rant, we discussed this.

Ash-Bash

Edit: I think I missed this or something... HOLYCRAPYOUREGOINGTOHONGKONG!! Crazy! I'm really excited for you! That's a big deal! Or maybe it's not and I just think it is because I live in the middle of nowhere and do nothing. Congrats Kaylee!

P.S. checked your comment Kay-lee. Yeah, that's what my sister said. I wasn't really a Jemi fan, not too upset about that, but I do like Demi, or I did. My sister says she's changed a bit in the past couple years, like Hollywood's getting to her. Quoting that from my little sister, not sure if it's true, she likes to exaggerate the truth. She's listed as 'Drama Queen' in muh phone.

I'm Alive!! i promise =P

2010-06-15T19:38:00.000-07:00

Hey guys.
I was just thinking hey I haven't seen if anyone has updated the blog in a while. OK so I entered our lovely little blog and BAM my dear ash-bash has updated about 25 times along with Car-Zar.. I think its safe to say I was more than slightly surprised.
I haven't had time to actually read all of ashlee's insanely long blogs, but I will I promise. I just skimmed briefly for now.

OK my life what has been happening?

WELLLLL

hm. I am currently a 18 year old freshman in college. Insane I know, I don't feel like I even went through high school at all. The past few years haven't even phased me yet. But exciting news, I don't know if I told all of you before but SCAD is opening a school in Hong Kong in the fall. Well one of my roommates(Nika) and I were really excited about being able to go, but the admission people told us at a meeting that you had to be a junior or older to go, even though they offered freshman classes. We'll of course we were all bummed and I started making plans for next fall that didn't include traveling other than bringing my car to campus and going back and forth from home for once instead of being stuck in the dorm. But guess what I think about a month ago or maybe it's closer to 3 weeks ago, Nika's adviser told her that they didn't make the quota of students to travel and are accepting sophomores as well. SO I am no going to be a student in Hong Kong in the fall.

My other roommate, Kate. Is going to be a part of the DCP (Disney College Promgram) in the fall, SO YAY free passes if i go visit her before Sept.

But of course why wouldn't this good news bring drama. You know all of that planning for fall, well I was really syked about being able to go to the Jonas tour. Well the concerts I bought tickets too are in Oct. and one of them were the tour finally. Which I was so syked about. OH yea did I mention I found out about the whole being across the planet thing a week after the purchasing of tickets. So yea I'm stuck with a VIP ticket to Charlotte. But I am determined to find someone who can go in my place, I can't stand just letting have that ticket go to waste. UGH its such a good seat. So yea NOW I need to find out how to sell all my tickets, and see if I can go to another concert that is before Sept. SO Virgina here I come!

Hmm... other than that.

I still haven't been hired by anyone. For some reason I am not a good applicant for a job. Hmm.. SOMEONE PLEASE HIRE ME!

In school while I was shopping for my sisters birthday present in Urban Outfitters. I was asked to be a model for banana republic. It turns out that it was a good thing that I turned it down, I was shooting for my photo finals the entire day the show was supposed to be. And No my initial disinterest for being a model wasn't the well advertised fact that I despise bananas. =P

Wow this is getting pretty long.

i don't know what else to say. i'm watching Pretty Little Liars, which is actually quite awesome. I can't wait for make it or break it to come back on!

Oh know I remember... I'm going camping this weekend! I'm so excited!!!!
We are venturing to a new location of electronic downgrading, family bonding time. THERE IS TUBING TOO! It should be lots of fun. I'm really excited I can't wait to fish. I haven't gone fish in many many years, almost 9 years I think. THAT IS WAAAY TOO LONG.

hmm I should probably change my picture on here, that is from 3 years ago. Which means I've known you girls that long CRAAZY!

ok I think I'm done rambling CONGRATS IF YOUR READING THIS YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE TERRIBLY TOO LONG BLOG.

Car- How have you been. I read on your twitter about all of your exciting concert news. I think your going to be a senior next year perhaps? I can't believe we are all growing up so fast.

Em- Hi. how are ya. yup thats all I got. It would be nice to know if your alive without the oh hello I have drama texts. =P crazy crazy girlie.

ASH- hey I promise I will go back and read all about your crazy life in the middle of the USA. I'm looking forward to these snail mail messages. I still have no idea what I did with your Christmas card from forever ago. I was painting something to go in it too, but alas its gone. FYI ALAS is my new word. love it.

I miss you all so much. JBF used to be awesome didn't it, too bad the site died when we left it.

OK random, BUT i'm really excited about the whole nick's return to broadway in a few days. AND the chat that is in two days!!!

ok I think thats it
BYE LOVERS!

Kay-LEE =P

PS. Ah I forgot.. I'm on twitter way more than I should. So if you have one follow me please! www.twitter.com/Kaylee_

PPS. I just commented on one of your posts Ash.

6 minutes with youuuu!

2010-06-14T13:59:00.000-07:00

Hey there. I'm doing pretty good on these one a day blogs.

I'm currently listening to 'It's About Time', wow, huge flashback.

So, all my close friends are currently out of town or working (read: my workaholic bff). I was depressed, because I'm not doing anything this week (except I work on Wednesday and Thursday) and if I did do something, I'd have to call up people I'm not really that great of friends with. Booo! But I just remember! I have freshmen college orientation on Saturday. I'm uber excited about it too, I'll tell you about it on Sunday. But until then, I'm so bored. I've attempted to clean my room so many times, I lost count. I'm sending out an S.O.S. (hahahah) mentally to all my friends stuck here with me, I need some company.

What else has happened since... yesterday. My sister and I attempted to pull and all nighter. I did pretty good, stayed up til 4 am, which is when my parents wake up for work (read: also workaholics). I kind of regret it, because I had to wake up early to get my transcript from the college I took a couple classes at two years ago. The lady I had to see was less than friendly (read: rude) and it kind of brought down my mellow yellow attitude I had going.

We were in a Tornado warning yesterday close to midnight. It sucked. I was just in my room, about to start a movie with my little sister, when BAM! the sirens go off and we have to flee to the basement. My neighbors (not my weird hippy neighbors, thank God) have to come over to our house, because they don't have a basement. It was a good bonding experience, ya know? Freaking out, our lives at stake, any moment could be the last! Just kidding, it wasn't that dramatic. I just sat with my cell phone, texting my friends, who are ALL OUT OF TOWN! Lucky ducks.

Short blog. I know.

-ashlee

2010-06-14T10:28:00.001-07:00

I never know how to start these... but this blog post is mostly going to be about the Bamboozle show I went to yesterday.

So it was at Six Flags St. Louis, and the first band was set to play at 1PM. My friend Rachel and I got out there around 12:30, so we hung out around the second stage that was separate from the main stage where all of the bigger bands were going to play. Some of the bands that played on the second stage that we saw were Great Big Planes, Mercy Mercedes, Cady Groves, The Ready Set, and Stereo Skyline. There were others, but I can't remember who else. Most of them were pretty good; I had never heard hardly any of them but it was still cool to hear new music.

By the way..... did I mention it was about 90 degrees and probably 100% humidity? Because it was. And I don't think I have ever sweated so much in my entire life.

Anyway. We walked over to the amphitheater around 4:30. There were already tons of people in their seats, so we went and looked at all of the merch tables. I bought my Jac Vanek bracelet that I've wanted forever... it was intimidating seeing her in person (she has some cool stuff though... check it out: http://www.jacvanek.com). Then we went and sat in our seats, which were on the left side, probably six feet away from the speakers. Forever the Sickest Kids were up first, and they were probably my favorite. They put on such a good show, even if it was only for half an hour, and their music is just so good. Next was Good Charlotte, who were decent. I knew some songs, which was good, but they're not really the type of music I listen to, but they were still awesome. Hellogoodbye was next, and I only knew the one song that everyone else knew, but they were really good as well. Then came Boys Like Girls. Everyone in the audience seemed to love them, but I'm not a huge fan. I knew the songs that had been on the radio, but other than that they didn't impress me. Plus Martin, the lead singer, was super creepy. Third Eye Blind was next, and I was really looking forward to them. I only knew a few songs, but those songs are some of my all-time favorites. Plus Stephan Jenkins, the lead singer, was hilarious and he put on a great show. Last was LMFAO. They were... interesting. Somewhat strange. All of the songs were about girls or alcohol. Now don't get me wrong, I loved it when they sang Shots. But they were just a little odd.

So overall, it was a pretty good concert. Very long, but good. I got to see a ton of bands I had never seen before, so that was fun. But now I think I've temporarily lost my hearing in my left ear, which is not good. Not good at all.

Well that was a really long blog post. Or at least it seems long. Now I'm off to Target with my mom, and then I'm going to the YMCA to run on the treadmill because it's too hot outside (If you ever want to live in St. Louis in the summer, don't do it. The heat is unbearable).

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Oh My Dearrr!

2010-06-13T16:49:00.000-07:00

I'm in a sour mood today guys, not sure why though. I blame it on my lack of sleep from last night (see post below).

There was a party in my honor at my church today, I'm the only graduate this year. Not that everyone in my town is stupid... I just go to a small church, not a small school though. I go to one of the biggest in Kansas. Well, went to. I'm so glad to be done with high school.

Guess what? I'm listening to My Only One by the Plain White T's right now. Remember MOO, my story?! I got the inspiration from this song. Oh geeze, that was a long time ago (see post below).

Remember when we used to have CAKE chats? Like when JB would be on Radio Disney, we'd all listen on our seperate computers and chat about it. Hahaha. Good times.

I figured out the town JB lives in, in Texas. And I've figured out it's only ten minutes away from where I'll be sleeping. Wow. I'm a stalker. I kind of wanna make a pit stop though... Haha. I think they'll be on tour while I'm there though, depressing. How random would it be if I saw one of them at Wal-Mart or something?

In case you missed my side note in the below post, this is the 101st post on the good old CAKE Blog. Yay!! Congrats everyone, we did it! Errr... that was weird. I'm going to to go now. So long blogger.com, see ya soon!

-Ashlee

P.S. Burnin' Up just came up on my iPod on shuffle, just as I was about to hit 'post'. Weird.

P.P.S. I changed the layout, I think it was in need of a change. If anyone opposes I can change it back. And I'll make a new header, well, a bigger one. I kind of like the one we have now.

P.P.P.S. You know how Joe says something about cake in 'lovebug'? I still think it was about us. Hahha. I don't think I'll ever let that go. My sister thinks I'm crazy.

A light that never goes out.

2010-06-12T23:59:00.000-07:00

The Maine is good in concert! I saw them last year in April, with my older brother, which was awkward... but still a good show. I think I have some Vampire Weekend on my iPod, but I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure I do. I wish I was going to Bamboozle with you. I'm super into the alternative/rock music, it's pretty much all I listen to these days, with my side salad of Christian Rock which isn't as bad as it sounds. It's my guilty pleasure, I blame my home schooled friends. Hawk Nelson, Skillet, Family Force 5, listen to them. They're good.

I'm not really going to any concerts this summer. I'm supposed to be saving my money for college, but I did see a concert the day before my Graduation. Not a good idea if you were wondering. I was super tired at my graduation, but it was worth it. I saw Hawk Nelson, tobyMac, Tenth Avenue North and Stars Go Dim. I got to meet people from all the bands. Me = excited. I saw them at the amusement park nearest to me and one of the guys from Tenth Avenue North won me a stuffed dog! Me = Very excited.

It's currently 2 A.M. (ended it at 3 A.M.) and I'm pretty much wide awake. I used to have a mild case of insomnia and I think it could be coming back, which is weird, because I usually only get it when I'm super stressed about stuff (i.e. finals, speeches, track season), but it's summer, I should have anything to be stressed about.

Anyway, I got to thinking today, more like a few hours ago, how I really miss the old days at JBF. I'm not just saying that. Like when I think about how much fun I had and how in love I was with JB and now it's just gone, it's quite literally makes my heart sink into my stomach. I've never really felt this way. I just think about how I would be at school, counting down the minutes until I could get on the computer to check to see if anyone posted on my thread and how I don't have that anymore, it hurts. Not to get all mushy-gushy or anything, but I REALLY miss it. It's like I'm had a bad break up, but I guess in a way it's like I did. I was in love with the Jonas Brothers, I thought about them every waking second, I listened to them 24/7, I had seen every video on YouTube and now it's just gone. It's kind of like they we're my first real love, sad but true and I miss it, it's like a light, inside of me, that will never go out.

^ That took me ten minutes to write. Sad.

Carly, have fun on your trip. Blog about it when you get back.

The only place I'm going this summer is Texas and we're not going until mid July or early August before we all go our separate ways for college. Even though three out of the five of us will be in the same city, only two at the same college though. I'm excited, I really do like Texas. We'll be staying with my family for some of the time and then on our own for the rest. We're thinking of heading down to Corpus Christi. Does anyone remember what city the JoBros live in? We'll be in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for most part, maybe we'll make a pit stop... Probably not though, only two of us even like the JoBros. But I am the one driving and in charge of the trip... if it's near, I'll go. And I'll take pictures of like the grocery store in that city (Ohh! Emm! Jayyy! This is where the Jonas Brothers shop for food!). Just kidding, I'm not that creepy... anymore.

Holy crap. A huge thunder just crashed. Ahh, I'm scared now. Nick Jonas come save me! That reminds me, does anyone know if Joe is still dating Demi? My little sister told me they aren't. I'm not really into following the lives of Disney stars anymore, but I'm curious. I personally could only see them as good friends. I saw the promo for JONAS LA today, it looks better than the first season, which I thought was utter and complete crap. It completely overproduced the boys and made me hate them, but I think I'll give this season a chance. I feel like their fading out of the spotlight a bit, which I think is a good thing. For a while there, I was getting sick of Jonas Brothers this, Jonas Brothers that.

Wow, this is really long. Kind of a rant, good? Bad? Well, I'll talk to you guys later. Maybe tomorrow? I know I'm not talking to you, but when I try to tell my friends about these kind of things, they just tell me to shut up (quite literally, we're just good friends like that).

Haha. Lots of love.

-Ashlee

Side note! Carly, we have more posts this month than any other month this year! A grand total of 5! And it's only half way through the month. Yay!!

ANOTHER SIDE NOTE! This is our 100th post on this blog! Go us! I feel like we need a cake to celebrate. ;]

Hello!

2010-06-12T13:01:00.000-07:00

I've been checking to see if anyone has posted so often recently, and I decided to keep my promise of blogging more.

It's only two weeks into summer, but it already feels like it has been at least a month. Which is a good thing, I guess. I've mostly been working, and I had cross country camp every morning this past week which was exhausting, but fun. My family and I are going to Hilton Head Island, SC on the 18th, which I am really really excited about. We used to go every summer since I was born, but we haven't been the past two years so it will be really good to go back. It's about a 14 hour drive, but I think we're breaking it up into two days and staying over night in Georgia. I'm just really excited to go somewhere!

Anyway, the list of concerts I'm going to has grown in the past couple of weeks. Tomorrow I'm going to the Bamboozle Road Show at Six Flags with my friend Rachel, which should be really fun. The bands playing are Boys Like Girls, Third Eye Blind, LMFAO, Forever the Sickest Kids, etc. I don't really listen to many of the other bands, but it will still be really fun because I do like Third Eye Blind and FTSK. I'm not usually into the alternative punk rock genre (a la Boys Like Girls, All Time Low), or whatever you want to call it. But my friend asked me to go, so I'm going to stick it out. Six Flags recently posted a whole bunch of concerts: The Maine, Dashboard Confessional, Selena Gomez. I'm going to be out of town during Dashboard Confessional's concert (I was really mad when I found that out), but I'm excited to see The Maine. I'm also seeing Kings of Leon at the end of July, which I have been looking forward to since probably March because I'm obsessed with them.

I've also recently been listening to Vampire Weekend, Spoon, The Strokes, and MGMT, who are all soooooooooooo good. Do you guys like any of them?

Alright, well I have a graduation party to go to before work so I will be posting hopefully again before I leave for vacation!

I miss you all!

carly

Just call me Alice.

2010-06-10T20:54:00.000-07:00

Hey there! Whoa, not even a week has passed and I'm blogging again. Go me.

My 18th birthday went pretty good. The baseball game was really fun. They had fireworks after the game, which I was informed doesn't usually happen. I like to think the fireworks were in honor of my birthday. The bonfire on the other hand was not what I hoped it would be, but still fun. Long story short, some one I really dislike showed up and spoiled my fun, but the good news is she left early.

Ok, funny story, well it's funny if you're not me. Today I was helping my Grandma weed out her flower garden because Grandma + Bad Back = Ashlee does a lot of things for her during the summer. Anyway, I had my iPod on, jamming out, with my back to the entrance to the back yard. There was the really big mess of a weed that was super tough to pull out. A normal person would use the trough to dig the weed out, but for some reason, I thought it would be a grand idea to use the shovel and karate chop the weed until you couldn't see it. Unbeknown-st to me, my 20 year old male cousin and his super cute bass playing friend (who played at my grad party) are standing there watching me. Here how it went...

Ashlee: (chopping at the ground with a shovel, iPod in ears, can't hear anything)
Cousin: Ashlee!
Ashlee: (can't hear)
Cousin: ASHLEE! What the heck are you doing?!
Cute friend: (puzzled look)
Cousin: Geeze, she's in her own little world isn't she.
Cute friend: looks like it.
Cousin: Ashlee!!!
Ashlee: (still can't hear and is still chopping the ground)
Cousin: (throws rock at ashlee)
Ashlee: ouch. (looks over shoulder puzzled, see's cousin and cute friend and dies of embarassment)
Cousin: what are you doing?
Ashlee: gardening.
Cousin: you sure? I need you to move your car, you blocked me in.
Cute friend: (geeze this girl is weird)

I think I can surly cross cute, bass playing friend off my list of possible boyfriends.

Anyway, I thought I'd share that little story with you.

Kaylee, I'm going to resort to snail-mailing you this summer.

Carly, I love texting you! And I was pretty sure Chesterfield was really close to St. Louis. It's the Hardee's Iceplex or something, right? I've been there before to watch hockey games, but that was a couple years ago. We never went east of Chesterfield, so I wasn't sure how close it was to St. Louis. That's so weird, I was that close to you! And that you've been to that building before. Creepy. I know a couple of people who play for the Bandits, through my bf.

Emma. You need to blog! I haven't heard from you in forever!

-Ashleeeee

Hey there.

2010-06-04T10:17:00.001-07:00

Carly, I think we'll have matching goals this summer. I'm going to try and blog more as well. And Kaylee, I'm going to try and snail-mail you all summer... key word, try.

Guess what! Tomorrow is my 18th birthday!! I'm uber excited about it. Tonight, my friends and I are going to watch some college guys play baseball, always a good thing. Then tomorrow, I'm going shopping with my parents in Missouri, then we're going to dinner with my brother who lives near Kansas City. Then I'm driving back home with my sister and we're going to have another huge bonfire with a whole mess of my friends. I can't wait.

Kaylee & Emma - You need to update us.

Lots of love,

-Ash-Bash

2010-06-02T14:29:00.001-07:00

Hello! It's amazing to me that it has been two months since I've posted. My goal for the summer (which I am deciding right now) is to blog more on here to keep you guys updated because I miss talking to you all!

So I'm halfway through my first full week of summer, and so far I've been pretty busy. I've been working almost every day (mostly nights, some days), and I started babysitting yesterday, which I'll be doing a few times a week. The first few nights of summer were really fun; two different friends had pool parties and it really made it feel like summer. I haven't seen my friends in the past few days because I've been so busy, but summer has just started so I'm not too worried.

Ashlee-- Chesterfield is definitely in St. Louis! Outside the city, of course, but I actually know which ice rink your friends probably play hockey at because my brother used to have games there. I live in Kirkwood, which is only 20-30 minutes away. That would be so awesome if you came down! Definitely let me know! And CONGRATULATIONS!!! On graduating!!! That's so exciting!!!!

Emma & Kaylee-- Let us know you're alive!!!!!!

Our time now.

2010-05-24T19:57:00.000-07:00

Well guys, I'm officially done with high school. I changed my tassel from right to left and I've had the big party. I've been done for a week now and it still really hasn't hit me. I'll be going to Kansas State next year, which is about an hour and a half from my hometown, just enough to be away from my family, but close enough so I can come visit. But I'm still scared out of my mind about living by myself.

I had my big Graduation party on Saturday. It was actually a lot more fun that I thought it'd be. My cousin, (the same one from the story below) got his friends band to play at my party! How insane is that! They were kind of a hardcore rock band, not really my style, but still, the bass player was supercute. Haha. Eyes like Zac Efron and a body to match. Yum.

Feel good story! I went to a bonfire last night and somehow my cousin was there, which is weird, cause he's two years older than me and I had no clue we had ANY mutual friends. Anyway, you know how every girl wants a protective older brother... he was definitely that guy last night. He wouldn't let me do anything and he made sure everyone know we were family. I probably should have been completely annoyed by it, but it actually made my night. My real brother has never done that before. We had so much fun, the party was at my really good friends house and we literally sat around the bonfire from 10 pm - 5 am and watch the sun come up. Then we went to IHOP. We have plans to go to another bonfire on my 18th birthday together. haha. Random story.

Carly - Text me too! I love talking to you also! And I might be going to St. Louis this summer, but don't get your hopes up too much, cause we might be going to Texas instead. Ughh, I feel like I go there all the time, but my best friends "boy" lives there, so I'm obligated to take the road trip down there with her, which will drain my bank account. I'd much rather go to St. Louis, well, actually Chesterfield. That's where a few of my friends play hockey! That's close to St. Louis... right? Haha.

Kaylee - I think I'm going to send you some random cards this summer, beware.

Emma - I haven't talked to you in forever, hope everything's spiffy.

Lots of love guys, (and I really mean it!)

Hello!!! I was just about to get off the computer to go to bed, but then I randomly checked this and saw Ashlee's post and decided that I should blog. (BTW that picture is so cute! I'm glad you had fun!) I'm on my spring break this week, and it's actually been pretty fun so far. I didn't go on a big trip, but I've done some fun stuff in town. Almost all of my friends went on vacation, so the few of us (five- me, my friends Kelly, Charlie, Bryce, and Dan) who stayed behind made a list of stuff we wanted to do since we were stuck here. Sunday night we had a movie night, today we went to the Zoo (America's #1 free zoo!!), and on Friday I think we're going to do something else but I'm not sure what. So it's been pretty fun! Tomorrow my mom, my brothers, and I are driving up to Chicago until Friday to see my cousins and do more tourist-y stuff up there, so I'm super excited about that.

Kaylee and Emma-- please blog! I haven't heard from either of you in forever!

Ashlee-- text me again! I love talking to you!

I'll blog again after my spring break. :)

Spring Break 2K10

2010-03-18T20:46:00.000-07:00

Hey girls! I'm currently sitting in my friends grandparents house in TEXAS! It's our last night here and I'm a tad upset, but I'm happy to be heading home. Although I wish I could have gone to St. Louis, I still had an amazing time in Texas. Lots of tanning, going to the beach and boys. Haha.

Funny side story. I have this friend, who lives in Kansas during the school year, but is from Texas. Any way, we were stopped in his hometown at a gas station and I met his mom! Weird right.

Haha. You totally did not need to know that story. All in all, I am having a wonderful time in Texas and I wish you were all here with me!!

-ashlee

2010-02-23T20:32:00.000-08:00

Just a quick one.

Carly, I don't think I'll be going to St. Louis. I uber upset about it too. The group of girls I'm going with decided Texas is better, because it will be warmer and we'd be near a beach. But Texas doesn't have you! Instead of going to Texas one weekend and St. Louis the next (or vice versa) we'll be in Texas for an entire week. If I had my way, I'd go to both St. Louis and Texas, but this isn't Burger King, I can't have it my way. :(

Oh! And I have unlimited texting now! E-mail me at ashlee_674@yahoo.com (I'll try to check it more often!) and I'll give you my number, if you don't already have it.

Lots of love,

ash-bash

I can see the sunshine!

2010-02-18T11:59:00.000-08:00

It's a beautiful day here in my neck of Kansas today. The sun is shinning, I had my window rolled down on the way home from school with my sunglasses on listing to Lil Wayne and what do I do when I get home? I get right on the computer in my dark room and blog. Well, not true, I ate lunch first, but the point is I am more that ready for summer! I'm sick of this stupid snow. I think I might go for a run around the neighborhood in a bit, I haven't done that in a while...stupid snow.

I had a point to this blog...I know I did. Cause I was sitting in Stats and someone said "Burnin' Up", which made me think of the Jonas Brothers, then I jumped on the memory train and blocked out my teacher.

HOLY COW!! JBF is so empty! I just went there about ten minutes ago and the "what's on your mind" sections last post was from...2 days ago. I remember when that section had posts like every 2 minutes! I just realized I never reached my 10,000 post goal, which depressed me a tad, but maybe I can still make it! I'll just make a million posts in the "Games" section. I need 741 more posts...I think I can do it. Gosh. I remember when I could make over 100 posts in a day during the summer. :[ I miss my JBF days.

A while ago my pal, Joel, tried getting me into the Kings of Leon. He litterally put everyone of their songs on my iPod, but I could never really get into them. I do like 'Use Somebody' though. I think I've said this before, but I don't listen to much Jonas anymore. I do listen to a lot of All Time Low, Cobra Starship, Family Force 5 and Hawk Nelson though.

THE BURIED LIFE! I love that show too! My friend and I started writing a bucket list. I've had about 50 items on it for the past three weeks. After every episode, I get really excited and write down one more, then forget about the list until the next Monday. But I will finish it. Oh and Duncan is such a cutie. Psh, they're all cute and they're from CANADA! That's like a daily double.

Kaylee. I have plans to write you some letters, I just have yet to sit down and write them...

Carly! That would be awesome if we could meet up! This sounds bad, but we don't know which weekend we're going yet...we just know we're going, because we're also going down to Texas. We're still trying to figure out everyone's schedules to see which weekend is best, but it will either be March 12-14 or March 19-21.

Emma. I don't hear much from you anymore. I hope you're doing well!

Love & Rockets, (haha, my life as liz)

-ashlee

P.S. Leggins are NOT pants. But if the shirt your wearing is long enough to almost be considered a dress, then it's ok to wear just leggins.

Question: what's the biggest thing you want to do before you die?

Hola.

2010-02-06T12:07:00.001-08:00

That means hello in Spanish. It's 2:07 on a Saturday afternoon. The perfect time to blog.

I don't really have that much to say... My life hasn't been too exciting in time since I last posted. I did see Nick Jonas in concert, though, which was amazing. It was a little strange for him to be by himself, but it really showed who he is as an artist. He, of course, was fantastic live, and I love all of the new songs. My favorite part was when he covered Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" (they're pretty much all I've been listening to recently). I wasn't sure how I would feel about it, but it did it it's justice. Also, his new album is amazing as well. I would highly recommend it, though I did think it was kind of short, and he re-did "Tonight" so it has technically only 9 new songs, but they're all so good.

OH! The Grammy's were on last weekend. I watched the first two hours, and I was most excited to see if Kings of Leon would win. And they did! They won 3 out of 4, which I was very excited about, and their acceptance speech was hilarious. If you didn't see it, please look it up. Slightly inappropriate, but funny all the same.

I hope you all are doing well! Ashlee, that would be awesome if you came here for your spring break! What week are you off? I might be going to Chicago for my spring break, but if yours is a different week, we could definitely meet up. :)

I'm off to either go work on my homework or watch The Office (the only TV show I've been watching life... along with The Buried Life, both of which I would recommend), so please please please blog! All of you! I want to know what's been going on with you all!

love love love.

carly

PS I want to see what you guys think: Are leggings considered pants?

Another post?

2010-01-21T11:43:00.000-08:00

I've decided the only way I can really update you on my life is through this blog (I'll have to check my e-mail Carly...I'm really bad about that). I've decided I'm going to try and post an update about me every week, hopefully I can remember. Haha.

Since New Years, nothing much has changed really. School is school, work is work. I don't do much else.

Yesterday I did go to an Owl City concert at KSU (which is the college I will be attending next year). I met some new people and got hit on by this college guy (it was really awkward, he was kind of a nerd, but still really adorable). I had fun at the actual concert, I felt really bad getting in though. I had a student ticket and you had to have a student ID to get in, so I used my friends old ID and she looks nothing like me, but I still go in the concert! Haha. Afterwards we hung out in the guys dorm (which smelled worse than hockey players and I know how bad they can smell). We didn't get home until 2 am, which is why I'm not at school right no...oops...

How was your concert Carly?! My sister is in love with "Who I Am". I swear she listens to it 50 times a day. She is very jealous of you. Oh! I might be in St. Louis again for spring break, but we haven't decided between that or Texas. Once we figured it out, I'll be sure to let you know.

Kaylee, I have every intention to write you a letter to your dorm, but I just haven't done it yet.

I love you all!!

-Ashlee

So.

2010-01-14T18:20:00.001-08:00

When I came across our blog a week or two ago and tried to update, I realized that I didn't have the password/username anymore. :( I inboxed Kaylee on Facebook (because I have no way of getting in touch with Emma or Ashlee which is super weird...) and she thankfully gave me the info. :)

My life has not been too eventful over the past few months... (or six, considering I haven't posted since July). I guess I'll start from back then. I ran cross country for the second year, and our varsity team went to state for the first time in nine years, so that was so exciting. Not much happened after that, but I turned sixteen at the end of November, and got my license a few weeks later (after failing once...oops?) and it has been so much fun. I love able to just get up and go somewhere if I feel like it. It's very nice. I've also been swimming on my high school team, and it is so much more intense this year because we have new coaches. It's still really fun and I love all of the girls on my team. I guess I am still a Push Play Missouri street team leader (though it's been quite stressful in the past few months... a long story), so hopefully that will continue as the new year goes on. Speaking of 2010... I did absolutely nothing on New Year's Eve. It's becoming one of my least favorite holidays, considering I spend it almost every year sitting on the couch watching TV. That's alright, though. I'd rather spend it with my parents than with some of my friends who aren't really my friends any more (and that is an even longer story).

And, of course, I'm going to a Nick Jonas & The Administration concert in just a few days. My Jonas... attachment, per se, has been on the DL in the past few months, but you all know I couldn't miss it if even one-third of the guys are tour. So that is where I will be on Tuesday night, and I could not be more excited. :)

And I miss you guys. A lot. I tried emailing you, Ash, when you posted your email address, but I never got a reply. :( My email is carschmied93@att.net if anybody is interested... I check my email everyday! Kaylee, I've caught up with you on Facebook but I still think we should talk more! And especially Emma! I haven't heard from you in FOREVER! Are you still alive? ;)

I think we should find a time when we all can chat sometime soon. :)

Love and miss you all!

xo Carly

2010 thus far...

2010-01-03T13:51:00.000-08:00

It really doesn't seem like it can be 2010 already. I can't believe I'll be off at college in less than a year. I can't believe I'll be graduating in 5 months! I'm not ready to grow up. :[

I hope everyone had a fantastic new years! New years eve was great for me, a perfect ending to 2009. As for 2010, I've had a bit of a rocky start. Firstly, my boyfriend and I are in a bit of a fight, all because of who we were both hanging out with on New Years. Later that night I got in a car accident with two of my friends. We hit a huge deer and the air bags deployed and everything. I was in the back seats, so the worst damage I got was some wicked back whiplash, but the driver got a black eye and a broken arm and the passenger has a swollen face with some whiplash. Other than the car and the deer, we're all fine.

The next night I was planning on going to a concert with my friend (who was the passenger in the deer accident), her sister, and her sister's college friend. My friend and I decided not to, because it was going to snow and we were still a little shaken up from the accident the night before. On the way to the concert, my friends sister and her friend got in a HUGE car accident. Their car flipped a couple times and rolled down a hill. My friends sister had to be rushed to the hospital. They said if we would have been in the car with them, we would have gotten really hurt. I guess it's good we got in the first accident then.

I'm hoping this year will be getting better for me. I hope yours will be good as well. I miss and love you all!

Muuuurrryy Christmas!!

2009-12-21T19:30:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas guys! Or I guess Happy Holidays, but I'm pretty sure you guys all celebrate Christmas, so MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

2010 is almost here already. It's really hard to believe we've known each other for almost two years now! It was February of 2008 that I started talking to Carly and shortly after I met Kaylee and her partner in crimmmmme Emma. I'm pretty sure everyone at JBF hated us because we were constantly having ridiculous conversations on Carly's stories. But I think they were all jealous of the unbreakable friendship we had started. I really do miss you guys, I can't stress that enough.

My holiday break might actually be a good one this year, well in some ways I guess. My entire family is coming over to my house and when I say entire, I mean it. I'm talking cousins, aunts, uncles, 2nd cousins, 3rd cousins, grandparents, and some family members who live in different countries. It's going to be utter chaos at my household. But I will be getting away from it for a while. My friend has conned me into taking a road trip to Texas with her (well if the weathers good that is) and we'll get back in time for new years eve celebration at my other friends house.

I hope your vacations will be as good as I hope mine will be! I really would love to hear from you guys!!

Lots of love,

Ashlee

P.S. Kaylee, I got your letter/Christmas card. I lol-ed, a lot.

[Insert Catchy Title HERE]

2009-12-07T17:38:00.000-08:00

CARLY! I missed your birthday! I feel like a horrible friend, boooo me. I too don't remember how old you are, I think it's 16? If so, HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN!! If not, well only one more year until your SWEET SIXTEEN!! haha.

Kaylee. You sent me a letter around April and I didn't respond. Mostly because I lost the letter and also because I'm lazy. BUT, I have found the letter. It was in my old notebook from last year that I was looking through today. I can tell you how sorry I am for not responding, but I'll be responding soon! haha.

Emma. I haven't heard from you in a while. But I'm sure you're still living your fabulous life. :]

I miss you guys a lot! Still nothing new to report in my life, but I've always been boring like that. I really do miss you guys though!!!! <- four exclaimation points, that's nothing to mess with.

Lots of love!

-ashlee

P.S. I'll fix my picture.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAR-ZAR!!!

2009-11-29T21:03:00.000-08:00

Happy Happy Birthday,
May All Your Dreams Come True,
Happy Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday To You.

Carly... i have no idea how old you are all these years seem to run together but I'm guessing 16 or maybe 15. I seriously am bad at this... I forget that people age, therefore I forget their ages. I forget mine constantly.. holy crap im 18, it so doesn't seem like it. BUT my lovely little phone reminded me that it was your lovely birthday, therefore i left you little messages on your facebook wall.
LIKE MY SONG?.... i think i messed up the verses aka. middle parts b/c there arent really verses for a four lined song.
I hope your day is awesome. Do you haave to go back to school? My sister does later today, i feel sorry for her! BUT i guess I'm an hour early according to your clock (or watch depending on your taste) in the central time zone.

It has been forever since I've talked to you guys... I miss you all A LOT!!!!

ASHLEE.. i still check up here every once in a while.. I glad your doing great...
Im off of school till Jan. but my time being off means my mom is pushing extra hard for me to get a job, and still no one wants to give me one, surprise surprise.
Oh little missy graphics creater you need to fix your picture.. maybe we should update them perhaps?

Emma... I have no idea when i actually talked to YOU last....

Love you all LOTS
<3 Kaylee

2009-10-15T15:02:00.001-07:00

Funny story...I was doing my yearly deep clean in my room and I found my Asian Rioter collage...

Oh my goodness girls!!! It has been so long since I have talked to you guys. I don't even know if anyone still gets on this anymore, but just in case you do...I MISS YOU GUYS!

I went back to JBF a few months ago and it was so dead it was sad. Everyone there now is extremely annoying or extremely mean. It's just not the same anymore. I'm still making some graphics in the forums over at JBFA sometimes (not really).

My life since July. Not much really. I get up, go to cross country at 6:30, go to school, go home, go to work, wash and repeat. I still have that boy of mine. :) He's uber sweet and cute and I couldn't adore him more. Next time I'm on AIM, I swear I will show you a picture of him.

I would love to hear from you guys. My email is still ashlee_674@yahoo.com.

-Ashleeeee

By the way, I had to delete my myspace because someone hacked into it.

2009-07-27T19:31:00.000-07:00

YAY I'm so excited, my birthday is in 2 days or more specifically 1 day and about an hour and a half!!!!

ASH! -- I don't believe I have listened to Family Force 5 before but I'll search for them on youtube later when my massive headache goes away

and we deff. need to schedule a CAKE chat soon...

wandering the venue sounds like fun at the least you could possibly win sound check passes or something...

CARLY!!-- i haven't heard from you at all lately ... where did you go???

and EM-- txt me IDK what the heck is up... plus i don't want to spend my birthday with you not talking to me darling.

I'm currently at the beach with my BFF Ashley and her family and her brothers friends family... sounds confusing but its not, it's been pretty chill here for the most part.. the house is beautiful, plus just a short walk from the waves, but all this rushing around and tourist shopping today is getting to me, we ended up going to an arcade which reminds me how awful I am at arcade games since I haven't been to one in forever, while I was racking up about 20 -30 tickets one of the rents cleaned out one machine and got just under 3000 tickets.. it was insane. Besides that not much has been happening, I have been told many times to 'make yourself feel at home' which I have been doing I wonder if they just want me to start jumping on the couch and hogging the remote or something. Unfortunately I think I'm eligible to say that this birthday will not be as amazing as last years... for starters I'm without the lovely brothers Jonas to help me celebrate, and my family is about 3 hours away from me, and of course the CAE girls will be in KS partying up with 3 special guys...so you better send your birthday love this way, I'm in some need of some holiday cheer (yes, my b-day is a holiday, kidding it just sounded fitting)

Ok so I thought this post was going to be much shorter.. so I am off to get some rest and nurse my lovely migraine YAY!!

G'night Loves .. Keep In Touch
<3 -----K

Oh, goodness.

2009-07-25T06:41:00.000-07:00

Hello girls!! I've missed you girls too much. We need to plan and AIM night like once a week or something.

Here I find myself blogging again and it's only been a month since my last blog! Oh goodness. Just call me butter because I'm on a roll.

Emma, I'll send you a picture of him sometime, but I don't really want to post one. He might just kill me (ok, he wouldn't do that) or something bad of that nature, like break my Jonas Brothers CD. He doesn't like them, but that's ok, I don't like half of the crap music he plays.

Speaking of music, I attended my second Family Force 5 concert last weekend. It was fantastic! If you have not listened to them before, DO IT! I actually hated them when I first listened to them, but they have grown on me a lot. They might even be pushing their way past Jonas Brothers as my top band choice. Anyway, listen to them, I recommend Dance or Die or How In The World. And then after you listen to that, watch their show called 'the really real show' on youtube. I laughed so hard, I almost cried.

The concert was pretty good, people have described them as five ADD kids who haven't taken their meds and broke into a red bull truck. It's a pretty accuate discription. My friend and I lined up super early for the concert and we got to meet the lead singer (Soul Glow) and his son Cash (like Johnny Cash!) who is super super adorable. Then after the concert I got my poster signed by all of them and a picture with all of them. Good times. Here's a picture of him and his dad I took, because he's much cuter than me and my friends and the band. Isn't he adorable, Cash, not Soul Glow.

I had some good times last night too. My pal and I "crashed" this birthday party. Well, there were like 200 kids there and practically everyone was invited. They hired a DJ and we hung out with him the entire night. He didn't tell us he was married until the end though (drats!). I gave him my iPod and we convinced him to play Burnin' Up. It was so funny to see everyone go from grinding on the dance floor to everyone parting like the red sea as soon as Jonas Brothers floated through the speakers.

Sadly that's pretty much been the high light of my summer. Jonas Brothers come to Kansas City on Tuesday? Wednesday? I can't remember. I guess I could look it up, I don't have tickets. But my friend and I are thinking about driving to Kansas City and walking around the venue all day to see if we can find some JoBros. Haha.

Ok, I've got to head off to work. Blah! It's too early on Saturday morning.

-ashlee :]

hello loves :)

2009-07-04T21:59:00.000-07:00

'kay so basically.

HELLO DARLINGS! It's EMMA! :D I haven't posted in a while. I would totally love to say it's because I'm so busy and have SUCH A LIFE but no. I'm just lazy.

But uh, now that I'm done making excuses...

CARLYYYY AND ASHLEEEE ( joint address first! ) --- I. Have. Not. Talked. To. Either. Of. You. In. AGES.
Car- I was just in St. Louis for the weekend with my friend Eli. I was like OH GOSH I SHOULD CALL CARLY.
..... yeah my phone is new and i didn't have your number.
But seriously, I LOVE ST. LOUIS. You people have fan freaking TASTIC food. YUM :)
Ash- AHHHH BOYFRIEND! YAY! I LOVE BOYFRIENDS! (... As shown by all of mine.) It's pretty sad. But anyway. YAYYY! :) I need to see what he looks like!
KAYLEE!!- I gave you all CAPS and two exclaimation points because I didn't put your name twice. Yay! And yeah I am such a loser for actually typing this to you because I text you. Like every day. But let's pretend we haven't talked in like a week or so, shall we? Oh my goodness KAYLEE AHH! Okay, all done.

I'm gonna be all cool now and update y'all.
Carly, I think last time I talked to you I was datin' EASYYY. Yeah, no, I'm back with ELI!, my boyfriend from last summer/best friend from EVER now. I'm like the worst girlfriend ever, hence why my relationships don't last. That, or I just get bored.... Either works :)

YES ASHLEE IS CORRECT. I am in LONDON. AGAIN! And guess what! I saw the girl from last year who thought I was dating Nick Jonas! She hugged me. I'm like .... bye. Good times, good times.

Anywho. I'm too lazy to type the rest of what's been goin' on in EMMA LAND. IM me or text me or email me or something. I INSIST! :D

Kaylee, I just realized I typed both Ash and Car again. So hmmm. Oh, there's a street called Kaylee Road. I thought of you :)

JONAS. JONAS. JONAS. I'm seeing them twice this summer, once in Kansas Citaaayyy (Ashlee, YOU FAIL for not going!) and once in MILWAUUKKEEE. Neither of the Chicago times, because my play (Hiiiigh school musical!) is on both of those nights. FML. But yeah, KC and Milwaukee, baby.

KEVIN AND DANIELLE! Their kids are gonna be sooooo hot, I'm actually kinda jealous. I WAS SHOCKED! I knew they were dating and I FA SHO expected marrige, but I WAS SHOCKED! Oh PS! I was the one who told Kaylee. GO ME!

NICK JONAS IS MARRYING ME. THE END.

Oh and Joseph. Joseph. Joseph. JOSEPH. His hair is delicious, in case I haven't mentioned that before. I think I have. But I LOVE IT! And I HATE HIS GIRLFRIEND. I showed my friend in London a picture, and this is what he said: "Oh man, I thought you were exaggerating about how alike she and Joe look. Wow. That's eerie, love."

ASHLEE YOU ARE SO MUCH PRETTIER THAN CAMILLA BELLE, I HAVE DECIDED THE END, END OF STORY. And I like you much more.

Well ladies. I'm off. For tea. And biscuits.

I LOVE YOU.
like a jonas brother.

Which brings me to my final note. AWESOME BAG THAT I SAW TODAY: Save water, shower with a Jonas Brother.

I BOUGHT IT.

I rock. I rock on.

peace. love. shoes.
emmaaaaaaaaaaaaaa word to yo motha

hiiiiiii.

2009-07-02T07:11:00.001-07:00

So. First of all I would like to say that I am SO glad you are back, Ashlee. We were verrrrrry worried about you. AND, I think we should all talk on AIM soon even though I haven't been on there in forever. Or just text me!! (If you don't have my number, just.. ask somehow?)

In case you all have been living under a rock..... KEVIN IS ENGAGED. I still can't believe it. Craziness, I tell you. They're adorable, though, and their kids are going to be the cutest tan/curly-haired babies ever.

Ashlee, I haven't actually been to that many concerts recently, although I am going to a lot this month. YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME. Next time we are meeting up for sure. And I actually have been to the Powell Symphony Hall! In like third grade... hahahaha.

I misssss you all!!! Let's plan a time to have a much delayed CAKE chat. :)

♥carlyyyyy.

I'm Back On The Internet Highway!!

2009-06-30T20:09:00.000-07:00

I’M BAAAACK!!

Did you miss me, because I sure missed you girls…A LOT. I guess I never really realized how much my friends didn’t get my Jonas love until I was away from the computer for almost FIVE months! Gah, that’s crazy, I can’t believe I was gone for that long.

I guess I should update you on my life, yes? Hmm, well I finally got a job, it’s not that great, but I work nice hours and I get money. Everyone’s favorite thing. I work at a grocery store, by the way. It’s kinda a lame job, but I’m not complaining.

Hmmm, what else…I have a new boy. We’ve been dating for about four months now…hmm and I’ve been gone for five. Coincidence, I think so. I spend a lot of time with him when I’m not working.

I’m sorry I’ve been gone guys. I hope it won’t happen again. My mom isn’t letting me hang out with Brooke much anymore. I swear she’s not a bad person, but try telling my almost-a-stubborn-as-me mom. So since I’m not out with her much and Bryce went home for the summer, I have A LOT of free time. Oh how I missed that.

Hmmm. I’ve been to a quite a few concerts since I’ve been gone, not as many as Carly I’m sure. But I’m catching up. My brother and I discovered we like the same kinds of much and we’ve been scouting for them to go to together. My mom actually doesn’t mind because I’m paying for it myself and I’m “spending quality time with my brother”. I went to A Rocket to the Moon, Hit the Lights, The Maine, 3OH!3, Family Force 5, and Katy Perry concert and I'm going to another Family Force 5 in a few weeks. Barlow Girl is going to be there too, you know that band Ashlynn from JBF.com was in loooove with.

Kaylee, I only bought one new album too and MINE RIPPED ALSO!! For the same reason, my little sister was trying to get the book out and there’s a tiny rip in the front right corner. I was like “Eva, leave in there” and she’s like “No! I want to look.” Then BAM! it rips. True story.

Emma, I heard you’re in London. Lucky. I’m not going anywhere cool this summer. I’m not even going to a Jonas concert, mostly because I didn’t know there was a concert because of my lack of getting on the internet. But I’ll live…somehow.

Carly! I was in St. Louis a few months ago. It didn’t even occur to me that you lived there until we were already there. You have no clue how bad I wanted to call you up and have you meet me somewhere, but it was a school trip and our teacher is very scatter brained and didn’t really give us a schedule of what we were doing until that morning. We played at Powell Hall, if you know where that is, with the youth symphony director.

I MISSED YOU GIRLS! I really did. I’ll update you more on my lame summer as it happens.

Peace&Love
ash-lee

LINES, VINES, AND TRYING TIMES

2009-06-18T06:01:00.000-07:00

hey girlies, so the CD came out yesterday how many copies do you guys have? I have one... sad i know, but i am currently broke, so I only have one CD with a broken case... broken case already you ask, well my friend was trying to get that stupid book out of the slip and pulled the wrong way, she ended up ripping Kev's shadow a little bit, but i taped it! Another reason why I do not like this book... what happened to CDVU??? this thing is wasting paper, there are no little personal how to videos, and its now harder to get the pictures on my computer =[ .

OH YEAH I graduated June 13th.. same day as Nick which is still a little weird for me concidering hes supposed to graduate in 2 years but alright.

What has been happenig with you gals?
Carly --- Hey, i'm not fully away so the little notes are going to be awful.
ASHLEE --- ollie ollie oxen free
Em- hello darling, I hope you get better quickly, I don't like you being sick.

I can't believe it's almost july already... which means time to go to NY for the 4th of july im leaving the last few days in June though. Ugh and I'm still pasty I was hoping i could have gotten a tan before leaving but the weather hates me.. .. ..

ok I think thats it.. just trying to figure out when Larry King is on, and why I couldnt have lived in TX....
PEACE!
Kalez

So.

2009-05-08T15:36:00.000-07:00

I feel like... actually, I KNOW I haven't talked to any of you in forever. :(

It makes me sad. Once summer starts, I say we try to designate once a week to talk on AIM. :)

I hope you all are doing well; Ashlee, I hope you're okay! I know we've all tried getting in touch with you, but we haven't heard back. Let us know how you're doing!

Love you all!!!

♥carlyyy.

ITS OFFICIAL

2009-04-06T08:51:00.000-07:00

ok so last weekend i visited the lovely campus of SCAD for accepted students day. the weather was beautiful, and very long and boring story short I am now an OFFICIAL SCAD STUDENT! I even have a hideous ID picture to prove it! so I'm extremely tired from actually waking up every day this weekend, I believe I haven't actually got to sleep in during a weekend for about a month-ish, maybe more.. i try not to count all my days of torture. I've decided im not playing soccer in college way too much work to be stuck with a coach that I do not like too much after a 3 min. convo. He reminds me of one of my old coaches that were quite awful to me. Actually most coaches are quite awful to me, but this one was like we don't have tryouts because school starts so late and i highly doubt your good enough to play on my team b/c we have all these ODP players. I seriously wanted to laugh in his face at the ODP comment, I HIGHLY doubt anyone who wanted to go to school for soccer specifically would go to SCAD instead of going to lets say UNC, or GA state, or something public and more well known and certainly not at an art focused school. So no soccer, but I am planning on working out a lot (not emmas level, i still hate running) I just need to find a jonas loving, knowledgeable, and motivated roommate to workout with. I have a few roommates narrowed down I just need to choose.
ASHLEE!!!! im really starting to get worried im going to send you a WHAT THE HECK IM FREAKIN OUT ABOUT NOT TALKING TO YOU card while i still 'work' on your Christmas card, sad right its still not near being done.
CArly!!! u need to talk more or something I haven't talked to you that that much, well not nearly as much as pioneer cake days, I still expect you to reply to my email even though i talked to you after i sent it. =P <3>
and EM ---- GET A NEW PHONE! i need to talk to you while you are in beautiful ITALY!! still jealous! ugh, u shouldv'e taken me with u i'm sure u have luggage large enough to sneak me in.
ok back to school work i suppose.
UGH TORTURE!!
<3>
-Keeeeeaaaaayyyy =P

Really quick...

2009-03-14T07:50:00.001-07:00

So I know I just blogged, but I couldn't think of a way to get in touch with all of you at the same time to let you know that you were in my dream last night. You guys came and visited me at my house and you only stayed for one day but we had so much fun. :D

Okay, I'm done.

One of you, please blog soon!!

lovexo;

Carly

oh heeeeeeeyyyy.

2009-03-11T15:03:00.000-07:00

Oh wow. It has been WAAAY too long. A little over a month, to be exact. So how are you guys!??! Kaylee and Emma are obviously alive and well, but Ashlee, you haven't logged into your MySpace since February 24?!? I hope you're okay!! And I miss all three of you, just so you know. :[ Let's chat soon, okay?

So... today was the day. The Jonas World Tour Dates were announced. Let's just say that I'm a littttttle too excited. But have you seen the stage!?! It SPINS!! It's going to be crazy, I can tell you that much. As for my shows, I'm for sure going to the St. Louis show, and POSSIBLY the Chicago show. We'll have to wait and see about that one, but hopefully my mom will say yes!! What shows are you guys going to??

This summer needs to hurry up and get here. Or at least April. I'm going to see Taylor Swift on April 25, and I'm sooo excited. We got 34th row floor seats, and that's probably the closest I'll have ever gotten at a real concert. And as for the summer, I just found out that The Fray [my latest obsession.. go get their new CD] and Jack's Mannequin [my other obsession] are coming to St. Louis on July 3rd. I flipped when I found out, so I'll most definitely be going to that. Then Jesse McCartney is coming to Six Flags on July 15th, and THEN Jonas on July 28th. It's going to be a fantastic summer, and I cannot WAIT for it to get here.

And in other news... nothing really exciting has been happening with me. Just school, which is just a drag these days. Spring break is in two weeks, though, and we're going to Gulf Shores, Alabama, so I'm excited to go somewhere warm. I'm not playing a sport right now, but I've been exercising with my friend Kelly almost everyday after school, and it's going pretty good so far. I'm also hopefully going to start working at an ice cream place in my town starting in April, which is going to pay off all of the concert tickets I'll be buying. :P

I want to hear from you guys!!! I miss you!!! If anyone wants to talk, email me at carschmied93@att.net. I don't really get on AIM that often anymore, but if I'm on, I'll see if any of you three are on!! I hope you guys are doing well, so get in touch soon!

lovelovelove;

Carly.

SYKED FOR THE 3D Movie... or so I thought.

2009-02-22T07:35:00.000-08:00

Ok. so everyone better be super excited for the JB 3d movie coming out in like 4 days. yes not just regular excited but super excited. I was until I figured out the stupid movie theaters around me aren't even showing the movie and no one in the entire state is having a midnight premiere. So much for my plan. For those of you that have not heard LOVE IS ON ITS WAY you must, the song is brilliant and the parts of the music video type thing for it that I've seen from the movie is ridiculously cute! plus, i have a good source that clarifies that Joe plays the guitar in the video. I hope I don't have to wait for it to come out in DVD, b/c watching at home is just not the same as a true cinematic experience. OK. adorable find of the day... yesterday after the live chat and b4 the RD stuff the boys played some softball with honor society, and guess what Nicholas wore...
any guesses...

cleats. He was prepared to pone someone in softball I suppose.
PHOTO TYME! (ocean up 4 pics)

^^^^^^ Nick looks prepared NY YANKEEs hat included
and uhoh joe is clashing name brands nike hat and i think
shorts with adidas shoes, tisk tisk. haha jk!
AND MICHAEL!

^^^ hilarious Big Rob has elvis tamed and

Kevin has the littlest dog which is wrapped
around his legs. LOVE IT!

OK. Jonas update done.

well yesterday, I played some scrimmage games with my school soccer team, to summarize we pretty much suck. I did horribly, but I have an excuse sorta. I'm using my surgery as a crutch as long as I can. And in the 6 hrs I was outside in the freezing cold I worked up a nice sunburn. So now my hair looks blonder or so my mom keeps telling me but I think it may just be from the fact my face is no longer close to being the same color as my hair. But it's slowly regressing, today its pinkish salmon color instead of crab red, wow that exciting I LOOK LIKE A FISH! as for school, it sucks! I have so many deadlines for my senior project next week and I'm no where near having them complete. So please pray for me b/c I do not want to take my senior year over again. I think I may have decided that I would like to go to Savannah the best out of my college choices of App. State, ECU, and SCAD. ECU is ridiculously awesome though. but SCAD is much more artsy. It's gonna be tough but I think its my best bet, practically everyone from my school is going to ECU its crazy, so I may be slightly lonely. So that just means CARLY, ASHLEE get online more! Ok. note time!

Carly: I miss you girlie. I know your freakishly busy, but get on IM when ur online. you must be online like crazy since your always on FB! =P

Emma: I don't know why i'm leaving you a note I currently could be talking to you. have fun watching madagascar DOS!

AND

Ashlee: I have'nt heard from you in literally ages. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN! hows school, life, work? and i'm still freaked out about your diabetes scare. SO please update or get on AIM, or something I miss you girlie A LOT!

LOTS OF LOVE: K to the LEE

OH. P.s. Even though we recently learned that the Jonas boys do not own a tweeter or a twatter. I got one the other day! YAY. IDK what for but I have one.

first day at school, I was tryyyyin' to play it cool

2009-02-13T11:47:00.000-08:00

-emmaaaaa(:(:(:

you think i'm fly, dontcha?

2009-02-09T17:57:00.001-08:00

wow guys check this.
two posts within a month from emma!
whoa whoaaaa :)
so, since the title of this is a chris brown/t pain song (- freeze, which i highly recommend, it's basically my favorite song as of now. actually, it's tied with geek in the pink with jason mraz. go check both of those out now ;D) i'll start with a bunch of celebrity nonsense, INCLUDING cb and rihanna. for starters, uh, wow. chris beat up rihanna the night before the grammys. if you haven't heard about that yet, click here and here :D. besides those two, katy preformed pretty well last night. joseph seemed to think the same. if you didn't pay attention to when it flashed to the boys after i kissed a girl was over, joey's mouth was hanging open. he was in a trance. i laughed quite a lot. since we're speaking about the grammys, let's talk tay and miles. i get the feeling that miley picked special parts of that song (fifteen for those who live in caves) to sing about someone who was at the grammys...... (highlight the following.) nick. anyway, "'cause when you're fifteen and someone tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them-" honestly. who was fifteen and dated SOMEONE WHO WAS AT THE GRAMMYS. um hm let us think... yeah. but, as much as this kills me to admit, they sounded pretty great when they sung together.
now jonas talk! re: the grammys. i bet he walked offstage and BAWLED. i mean, he looked like the definition of gorgeousness, and he sounded amazing. but, he messed up. onstage. at the grammys. in front of stevie wonder. my poor baby D: he was cute anyway, he pulled that off so amazingly. we kind of had a grammy party here; meaning we all watched it together with a bunch of people, and half the kids there didn't notice that he made a mistake.
nowww nothings been happening lately with me. still working on being gabriella in hsm and cinderella in jack and the beanstalk. no, in cinderella. but yeah, that's going pretty well. cinderella's this wednesday. i'm. so. excited.
notice how i had a total of three sentences going on in my life and i spent more time talking about how nick messed up in front of good ol' stevie. oh well, i'm just boring like that ;D
girrrlllsss i miss you. car + ash- IM me sometime! :D we need to cake chat soooon.
kaylee. you IMd me literally while i typed your name. but OMJ IM ME SOMETIME! ;D ;D ;D haha. yep.
lalalooove.
-emmaaaaa
or.
-e-
(look at me being all tayswift ;) )

no way to know how long she will be next to me...

2009-02-08T13:17:00.000-08:00

HEYYOOOO guys. It's been too long. My life has been pretty boring lately, so I apologize ahead of time for a lame blog post. I've been so busy with school and swimming, and I just... time is just flying by. Maybe that's what two snow days in a row will do to you. I don't know. BUT I do know that I miss you guys. A lot.

What else.... this is really sad that I can't come up with anything else. I'm seeing Jesse McCartney next week, if that counts, but I think I already mentioned it in my last blog post. OH, and Taylor Swift is coming here in April, which I am pumped for. Now we just need Jonas tour dates, right? ;)

The GRAMMY'S are tonight. I'm rooting for the boys, of course, but I'm not sure if they're going to win. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. AND Sonny With A Chance premieres tonight. I already watched the first episode on iTunes, but there are two new episodes, so that's good. I hate to admit it, but Demi can't act. It's just not her thing. It's too bad, though. Hopefully she'll have a new album soon!

KAYLEE- I hope you feel better soon, love! I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that!!

EMMA- I'm glad you had an awesome 16th birthday!!! You'll have to tell me more about it sometime! OH, and if you plan on meeting our boys again soon, tell them I said hello. ;)

ASHLEE- I know I just PMed you JBF, but we need to talk soon! I haven't heard from you in a while!

ONE last thing that I need all of you to do.... PLEASE go buy The Fray's new album. Seriously. You will not regret it. I've been listening to it non-stop for the past week. It's utterly fantastic. <3

Hope to hear from all of you soon!!!

♥carrrrly.

Swiftly Escaping Death!

2009-02-03T20:18:00.000-08:00

AH guess what ITS SNOWING HERE! just thought I would announce that since it NEVER EVER snows here, so now all i got to pray for is a SNOW DAY!

ok. so update time besides ME missing ALL OF YOU intensely, and emma's epic turning of another year and INCH TALLER!! (im so proud =D) This last week has been busy, painful, awesome, scary, annoying... any of those will fit! So monday thru thursday I either was at the ER or seeing a doctor once a day, and yest. I had surgery. THE END....

Just kidding ok so re cap anyone??
Monday: (night) I went to the ER b/c i had wicked pain in my chest and slight stomach/side pain. This ER SUCKED.. they did a chest Xray and EKG and all that fun stuff, ignoring my side pain. after being stuck there for 4 hours I was handed I-B-Profen (if u can spell it more power to ya) and told to go home! but i was alright with the wait even though there were sketchy yellow stains and blood stains on the floor, b/c I could over DC and surprisingly all of the male nurses I saw and the xray tech were really cute. OK MOVING ON!
Tuesday: (<<>
Wednesday: (morning) BACK TO ER! better one this time though. for side pain YAY! I ended up staying in there from 8-2 i got to see one of my old team mates mom, shes a nurse. and drink some awesome contrast i couldnt keep down. after some morphine, I got a CT scan , which felt awesome! .. a few magic blankets later and they finally come back with results.. it turns out i had a cyst about the size of a softball on my ovary (sorry if u dont like that word, its a part of life get over it =P, i know my cake girls dont mind). After being frustrated at the other ER for not even taking blood work to check for apendicitis and being prescribed vicodin (which im currently on just incase this doesnt make sense) I GOT TO GO HOME, YAY NO SCHOOL!
Thursday: (afternoon) I was so fricken scared out of my mind. after sitting in a mix b/w a rapist and water boy's mommas house decorated waiting room. I finally got to see the obgyn. must i repeat insanely scared! after getting a better description of my cyst I was told that i needed surgery and quickly b4 it decided to twist and my entire ovary was needed to be removed. (oh and it turns out having a cyst that size is like a heart attack on the ovaries) after shaking thru that convo. i got to leave! without having to do anything besides nod my head and get weighed! (night) we got a call from obgyn saying im sched. for surgery on monday.
Friday-Sunday: extreme pampering (not emma's standards pampering thou =P) my sis even gave me a really cute pedicure, and my foriegn adopted brother got me a tweeny mag. haha. and has been driving me home from school since i can't thanks to narcotics!
Monday: (butt-crack of dawn) 4:58 to b exact! after working non stop on my hw i got about an hour and a half of sleep. i wasn't too worried I knew i would be asleep all day. my anistigologist ?? was INSANE!!!! she was running me and berry (newly aquired teddy bear) thru walls and doors that were closing!! to quote my doc after being 'drunker than a skunk' a finally woke up was prescribed some more vicodin and was able to get out of that stupid gown and don my lovely JB shirt!

Many visits, presents, and homework assignments later I'm left with soreness and 2 fairly small scars!

Ok i think thats it for tonight, my 2nd mom aka: big sis. wants me to sleep!

MISS YOU ALL !!!! even u em, even thou im texting u right now!

ASH WE NEED TO GET AN UPDATE!! im very worried young lady =P
and CONGRATS CAR, i knew ur PP obsession would get u somewhere.

LOVE YA
KAY-LEE !!! !!! !!! !!!

PS: It turns out my rents are trying to kill me (JK) I survive 2 'heart-attacks' in 4 days one from acid reflux related issue (curtosy of dad) and another from a cyst (idk if they deal with heredity but my mom has had them) so i have now come to that conclusion! and as of today I can once again wear eye-liner w.o having to go to the ER !! woohoo

a yooo :D

2009-02-03T18:49:00.000-08:00

hey guys :D
emma checking in. so, nothing really new has been going on with me. my school is doing a production of cinderella, and the main goes to yours truly :)
that's right. i'm a princess now. oh yeah, baby.
i'm also coordinating one of the dances in it, since my school knows that i'm one of the only ones who can dance to save my life. so, i've been pretty crazy about the play lately.
my sixteenth birthday came and passed, it was a lot of fun, though, gotta say. definitely something worth all that waiting. i got a lamborghini! it's black and amazing and i love it so much that i might have to marry it.
joke. mostly. ;D
i also grew an inch. which may sound like oh gee emma, that's amazing to YOU, but to me it's one of the most epic happenings ever. i'm 5'3'' now! :D
a few things:
ash: diabetes scare? we can be diabetic buddies! :D hehe, just kidding. but tell me what happened!
car: oh, they won't forget about us americans. we wrote those awesome letters last time they left the country, we're unforgettable! :)
kaylee: i talk to you legit every day. i don't need to leave you messages, haha.
so in other news, tayswift and miley cyrus are doing a duet at the grammy's. battle of the ex's, anyone? it sounds like it's going to be pretty awkward for nick j and joe. they're supposedly playing fifteen, (though neither of them is actually the mentioned age, so i don't quite see the point, but whatever.) but to me, the most hilarious scenario ever would be for them to forget the playlist, and just go into a medley of 7 Things/Forever & Always mix. that would make me laugh so much.
did anyone see the joe and camilla pictures? gosh, those made me a little upset. nothing personal against camilla, for all i know she could be a nice person. but something about her just bothers me a little. it might be the fact that she and joe look like identical twins, and i say no to incest. it also might be that i was in love with the idea of jaylor, and i thought they were adorable. either way, i was not pleased with those pictures. or the clubbing video. or the fact that he attended push. haha, now i sound like one of those I HATE ALL THE JB GEE-EFF'S girls. i'm not- just jomilla. plus- nick's celebrity crush, he-llo?!
i don't know if i'm the only one who loves this as much as i do, but has anyone else heard the sonny with a chance theme song? it's on the top twenty played songs on my itunes, i absolutely love it. it's got a good beat and the lyrics are cute. and has anyone watched the leaked episode yet?
in other jonas news- 3-D movie coming out soon. i already bought tickets, i love you fandango. i'm seeing it on saturday night, and i'm really excited. nick looked adorable in the commercials, i can only imagine how cute he looks in the actual movie. oh, and his brothers of course! ;D
in other events, ed westwick has a girlfriend now. or, at least he was seen kissing one of his co-stars. oy vey. demi lovato bought a house, and she's also been having dinner parties with mizz cyrus. - who, actually, recently made a video about how she loves "nicky" jonas. the clique girls are holding auditions for a new member to replace ariel, and while i'm the right height, i'm one year too old. darn, i'd have loved to party it up with a thirteen year old and an eleven year old!
that's really it, for me. i miss you three, well, i talk to kaylee. so, i miss you, car and ash! good luck to the boys on a grammy nom- i hope they win! :D
lalalove.
- em

It's been far too long, won't you agree?

2009-01-24T10:23:00.000-08:00

Okay. So it's been forever since I've posted on here. It doesn't feel like I've been that busy, but I guess that's the only excuse I can come up with for not checking in with you guys.

School is just... school. We're already signing up for classes for next year, which is stressing me out even more. And then, everyday after school, I have swim practice, which is good but it's getting kind of old. We have meets at least twice a week, and they go by quick, but I'm sort of ready for it to be over. I love my team, but swimming for two hours straight, three or five days a week? Yeah, it gets old. But I still love it. A lot more than running. ;)

What else... Oh! My friend Rachel and I are now Missouri Street Team leaders for Push Play. So far it hasn't been very exciting; just running the MySpace and trying to get more friends from Missouri (thanks AGAIN for the bulletin, Ashlee!). We're going to a Jesse McCartney concert in February, and we're going to hand out flyers to promote the boys. It's a little bit of work, what with posting bulletins and keeping all of our friends updated, but it's completely worth it. If you ever get the chance to promote a band, take it. It's fantastic.

And as for the Jonas boys... well, I just don't even know. I enjoyed the live chat. Sure, it wasn't as funny as the previous one, but it was still good to see their faces for once. Now I just hope they don't forget about all of us faithful Americans when they go off on their World Tour. xP

One last thing.... I miss you guys. A little too much, I think. It's been, what? A year, since we started this whole thing? I have no idea, but we need to talk soon. It's been far to long. <3

Hope you all are having a fantastic new year!

♥carlyy.

Thank goodness it's friday.

2009-01-09T16:31:00.000-08:00

The title says it all. This week has just dragged on for me and I suddenly find myself missing last summer. Where all I did everyday was sit and chat with my CAKE girls! I miss you all and I can't wait until we can have an actual CAKE chat again. I love you girls!

Other than having school, 2009 has been good for me. I've finally realized I'm never going to like science, no matter how many A.P. Science classed I force myself into. And I've finally narrowed my career options down to two. But on the bad new front, I had a slight diabetes scare over the summer, but it only turned out to be the flu, but those symptoms have come back and this time, we're not sure if it's just the flu. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted on that front though.

xoxo
ashlee

p.s. I made a new banner and I've also checked myself into G.M.A. (Graphic Makers Anonymous).

HEY GUYS!

2008-12-26T13:59:00.000-08:00

Carly, i loved your post very cute!
I miss you guys A LOT too. Ash I'm still not done with your surprise so sometime randomly you WILL get a holiday card, so now you will have holiday cheer all year! But I promise the surprise is good emma likes it so far.
Christmas was quite sad this year, I have no idea why but it was, my christmas was great present wise but I still feel like I was missing SOMETHING BIG I just don't know what. It's like that feeling where your traveling and you think you packed everything because you triple checked but it still feels like you left something really important. YEAH thats me! I might be because its almost 60 degrees over here and it doesn't feel like winter at all, but no, IDK it just feels like another break from school. I WANT MY HOLIDAY CHEER BACK =[ . I spent the entire morning opening presents, it takes my family FOREVER to open gifts but it was a good turn out i got an ipod an a bunch of clothes and JB stuff. It was awesome that i actually got my family something, i usually leave my sis out but i got her 3 things WOOHOO, it feels awesome. Then after presents and dinner and of course seeing jb on the parade.

Oh man. I miss you guys. I'm just gonna come right out and say it. I miss how my life was last year, this time. I had just begun meandering my way into the forum of jonasbrothersfan.com, and little did I know that my life would be completely different after I had gone on there. I met three of the greatest girls, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I've so busy lately, it's getting to be ridiculous. But just when I needed it, those two weeks off of school came swooping in to save me. And I am so thankful for them. High school is crazier than I expected, but I love it. I wouldn't change my high school experience so far for anything.

In more recent, random, useless news... I've given in and I read Twilight over the course of two days last week, during finals, which was the worst possible time because I couldn't put it down. It was utterly fantastic. No, I'm not in love with Edward Cullen [three Jonas boys still have that spot in my heart], but I do love the book. I went and saw the movie on Saturday, which was actually extremely good. I was disappointed that they left some parts out of it that were in the book, even though it was expected. Now I'm just waiting for a friend of mine to finish New Moon so I can start on that!

Christmas is in two days. I'm not asking for much this year; just an iPod and mostly other random things. I feel like I shouldn't be asking for things; I should be giving, not that I've gotten anyone anything. :p I'll just be spending my day with my family, and my TV when the Jonas Brothers perform in the Disney parade.

2008 has been a crazy year, in more ways than one, and I think I'm ready for 2009. Ready for a new start. I've always come up with new year's resolutions, but none that have ever actually been put into action. Hopefully this year will be different. I'll keep you guys updated.

I doubt I'll be blogging again before the new year, so I hope all of you get what you wish for and have a wonderful holiday season.

Free At Last.... well temporarily

Finally I get a break from school, which means ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!
Happy Kwaziggyziggyzam!!!
Ash. I loved your card, yours is on the way sometime soon, you know me being the procrastinator yeah I'm still working on it, but I promise I WILL SEND ONE! =P
Am I the only one or does it not feel like December AT ALL !! it's freakishly hot over here for being winter, I wish I could hang out with you guys and have a WHITE CHRISTMAS.
Ok the E! true hollywood story was AMAZING, if you haven't watched it you must youtube it NOW, no like right NOW, ok ill let you read this first THEN YOUTUBE IT!
AND EKK... the 3-D movie preview looks amazing, pft why wouldn't it.

OK.

Ugh yesterday was , lets say interesting to say the least. Everything was fine until I got to spanish, as usual, I swear I'm going to lose my hearing in that class or at least the rest of the sanity I have left. My pshoctic teacher decided yesterday we should sing FELIZ NAVIDAD, and up until yesterday that was a pretty good song and i was proud to say I didnt know the words to, yup lost all hope on that one. Crazy teacher decided oh we should learn the song then take a test, once the class heard test we tried to stall as long as we could, and I must say we ended up doing a great job with the stalling. So well, my class should be on youtube or facebook for our GREAT JOB. Confuzed? ok well my teacher tends to get over excited over the littest things so we decided HEY LETS GO CAROLING around the school to waste time, and gues what we did, we hit about 20 or more class rooms and got laughed at pretty much the entire time until one class we came into one guy thought it would be wonderful to tape it on his phone so yeah i need to check the internet for that humilating part of my life.

So thats what pretty much happened yesterday, who knew a class could stall for a new record of an HOUR AND A HALF (the entire class period)

SO WHAT HAVE C,A,E been doin I haven't talked to ash and car in ages!
A hope you r going to have a wonderful holiday break, and AH i might be goin to FL for New Years, WITHOUT MY SIS! can't wait (jk love ya sis)

WITH MUCH LOVE

I really can't think of a title....my brains too fried.

So, how's it going?

Carly, I didn't even know you had a birthday until I checked my e-mail for the first time in a month and say the myspace thing. I'm so sorry for not saying it sooner, but Happy Birthday!

Kaylee, all those two of those AIM convos and you didn't tell me you got accepted into college? What's the deal? Huh? JK, congratulations!!! <--- I had to think about how to spell that for a second. :]

And Emma, I'm actually talking to you right now. I agree Jasper and Emmett are the hotter vampires. Actually I'm not sure if you said that or not, I might just be twisting your words around in my favor, silly me.

What's new with Ashlee, because I know you guys are dying to find out. Well, I finished the musical I was in for my high school and this year they didn't miss spell my name in the program. That's always a plus. Uhh, I finished the Orchestra thing at the university thing near my house. It was a lot of work but totally worth it. Haha, funny story, we had to take a picture for the newspaper and the guy wanted all of us to smile so at the very last second my bass buddies (Joel and Matt) decided to make a serious face. So in the picture everyone is all happy, smiley when the basses are all looking very upset that we have to be there. I found it funny, my parents however, not so much.

Moving on, I had a dentist appointment today and they took an xray to see how my wisdom teeth were coming in and such, to see if I needed to have them removed or not later in life. Guess what? I DON'T HAVE WISDOM TEETH! My dentist said it was really rare, but still really nice because I don't have to feel the painful experence of them coming in. It was a fine moment, like all the dental hygenist and dentist gathered around my little chair thing looking at my x-rays.

On another side note...I got nominated for National Honor Society. So, I had to write an essay on why I should be chosen and such. And I had to get 7 recommendation letters. But the good news it, I made it! Only 79 kids from the 1700 kids in my school were chosen. I was so proud of myself, hellllooo scholorship money.

And I think that's pretty much all that's happened in my life. Sad, I know. My life has pretty much been dedicated to school since school started. I think I signed up for too many hard classes.

Happy holiday's everyone!!

-Ashlee<3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

2008-11-30T11:21:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLY! ♥
I have presents for you! :]

The first one, that you see to the left, needs to be enlarged, so you can see the IMs. But, I didn't want to stretch this out too much. Come on AIM or something and I'll show you : D

Next, we have that, which is pretty much basically amazing. It also looks better when it's bigger.

And finally, <3

Have an amazing birthday! I love you!
