| And its been a while ..... |
[29 Sep 2005|03:55pm] |
So I haven't written in this here livejournal in about 9347382947938475 years....actually a few months but whose counting? I have been swallowed up by the addiction that is the ever-popular facebook and myspace. Eww lol.... I felt the need to write though.
I am here at FSU which is something I never thought I would see myself typing....its crazy sometimes to just be walking around and being like ...dang I am in college haha. You know, it isn't all that its cracked up to be to be perfectly honest. Everyone always talks about how you need to "go away" or "get the whole college experience" and you know ... I really am not into the "college expereience" because in fact the college experience amounts to .... meeting a bunch of people and going out 24/7 and living on your own and being perfectly okay with everything and not missing family and not missing old friends and not going to class and mangaing to get through school without any effort. And if it is not like that then I guess I am wrong but people sometimes get me so confused because that is what I see all around me. Meanwhile I am struggling (not schoolwork wise) because I miss home so much. I miss old friends....I see people and I really am making an effort to meet new ones (I dont want you to think I am this big depressed hermit) but its so overwhelming to think ...God I have to really start allll over again. its craziness... I guess I just need time to adjust and I am just impatient and want everything to be perfect right now.
I have to realize that when i entered cypress knowing four people, and crying in the bathroom for the first week suring lunch cuz I didnt know of any one to sit wih, and then making the decision to get involved and smile and meet people and do something about it, led me to some of the best people I have ever met, and an amazing junior and especially an almost perfect senior year. I just need to breathe and give it time and realize that I am here with and I am areally blessed person and I am taking hold of an amazing opportunity and I just need to be grateful ....
PS I MISS YOU ALL AND LOVE YOU!

Down Here- Great Are You |
] |
So I am finally back from a little over two weeks at St.Leo's and can I tell you that I feel better than ever?
You know ...before I went there I was in my whole I-don't-want-to-go-to-church mode I didn't ever really feel like praying and I didn't take enough time to really appreciate all the people I cared about. I had turned into a little bit of what one would call a hypocrite....and the first week I was there I felt like I wasn't supposed to be there....like I was out of place and out of touch with the kind of faith I once had.
God really works in the most awesome ways if you let him though and you know I dont write this in hopes of changing people but I write it just because I want to share with you how great of a feeling that having faith gives me. I know so many times people say how can you believe this? or that? You have no proof. But I don't need lots of proof if any because my proof is in every single person God has out in my path.
Being there and having structured schedule and prayer time and fun time and liturgical dancing and praise and worship and watching stubborn hearts break open and really let others in is such an amazing experience. And the mistake I made when I first got there was thinking that I had nothing left to learn in faith. I felt llike now that I was no longer a retreatant but a counselor and team leader that my job was to mimister and not experience. And you know when I finally allowed God to really do what he wanted and work through me I learned so much from so many people. And I really allowed myself to see beauty in everyone and everything no matter how simple.
It also helped that the campus of St.Leo University and the surrounding area is so BEAUTIFUL....like I can't tell you how much that place takes my breath away- I wish sometimes that I was going there for school.
But continuing on... I would just like to take my time to thank God for the time I had there....I am not too sure if he reads livejournal but in the event that he does I hope he knows how much gratitude I have for being able to stay the second week and for all the lives that I might have impacted by showing them God and by all the lives that impacted me and continue to even if they aren't aware. I wish I could explain this feeling in words but even to say that I feel like my heart is bursting with love and I have such happiness and peace would not be enough.
I hope everyone is doing extrememly well and your summers are awesome and I really hope that even if you don't have faith in the same things as I do - that you really just take time to chill for a second if you haven't in a while and think about what things are really important to you and just allow yourself to enjoy things and seek positivity in everything and everyone and maybe you can experience more of a peace and inner happiness wherever that comes from for you because it is such a great feeling. I wish I could like...inject everyone with faith and assurance and love and JOY and all the things I feel right now but I can't so I am just sharing with you- and thanks for everything -all of you.
GOD BLESS!!!!
-katie
ps. If you can find this song listen to it because it is so like....UPLIFTING!
How I love Your works
My God, My King
How I love Your works
My God, My King
Your Name rings on the plains
Like a not so distant train
And Love and history are near
In the flowers that you make
The flowers that you make
CHORUS
Because I'll never hold the picture
Of the whole horizon in my view
Because I'll never rip the night in two
It makes me wonder
Who am I, Who am I, Who am I
And great are you
How I love Your Word
My God, My King
How I love Your Word
My God, My King
Your love cuts through these pages to my heart
As you grieve our sins, right from the start
And sacrifice and paradise are in
The plans that you made, The plans that you made

| AT ST.LEOS! |
[12 Jul 2005|01:59pm] |
Hey everyone and their madre! I am here at St. Leos and hopefully (cross your fingers and pray for serious) I can stay for another week! I love it here. Okay so can I tell you I am here with and awesome friend of mine Jennifer! Holler for Jennifer! She rocks and is a superawesome helper.
Okay I must go butI hope you all are doing well and I love you.
HEY BRANDON!!!!!!! Call me on my cellphone I have not talked to you in forever...... I think its ...337-5233. Its a temporary one....peace out boy scout!!!

|
| God please help me....for real |
[03 Jul 2005|10:36pm] |
SOOO I have a dilemma arising that I thought I had already solved.
I WANT to stay at St. Leos for two weeks....but I feel like time is running out- like if I do that I have like zero time for family or friends at home....but who am I kidding I have like a month right?
And my biggest fear has been money but God is supposed to provide right so he will if I put him first.
I dont know what I am afraid of... I seem to have no problem doing whatever the heck I want any other time ....and I am always the one saying oh you have your whole life to work....how much more often will I have St. Leos...always I am sure but not for a whole next summer
Pray for me ....and post what you think I should do...FOR REAL YOUR HONEST OPINION!!!
Post. Everyone. Now.

WATER vs. COLA
WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even mild dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that eight to ten glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on a computer screen or printed page.
8. Drinking five glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%. It can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
COLA
1. In many US States the highway patrol carries two gallons of cola in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of cola and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: pour a can of cola into the toilet bowl and let it sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in cola removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: pour a can of cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: apply a cloth soaked in cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To remove grease from clothes: empty a can of cola into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or cola?

| And...SCENE. |
[27 Jun 2005|10:36pm] |
Every once and a while I feel emotionally worn out. Granted- there are way worse problems than that of what is in my life but everyone goes through tough stuff...some people just have to deal with more than others...so I apologize if what I worry over is trivial...its just...day in and day out.
I hate that I am always dissapointed with people. I know I have said this probabaly thousands of times before but its true. I hate that I try my hardest to give anyone (whether I have known them forever or just met them) the benefit of the doubt and see the good parts of people but it doesn't seem to matter because some people just go on being incredibly rude and hurtful...some realize it and some never will.
I hate that I worry about the smallest things when I really should be happy about how blessed I truly am. I hate that its almost as if its never enough for me. I can't ever just be grateful... I am always needy.
I hate that I feel like I have to be on this fricken constant search for love. I act as if I am desperate when I am not. I don't need a 'significant other" especially when I am leaving in like .5 seconds...but I still continue with my darn male craziness and I'm like HEs cute I like him..no him...no him..and of course nothing ever works out for whatever reason and then I end up dissapointed or whatever.Its one of those darn vicious cycle things....cuz then I go through a period of ...not searching...that lasts for like .5 seconds too.
I also decided I hate when people take something that you are normally okay with- and make a mockery. Tonight I was talking to a person at work and we were talking about relationships and I mentioned how I had never been on a date or never been kissed...and they proceded to tell a lot of the employees and they just kept bringing it up and rubbing it in my face like it was something bad ...they were like well jeez I feel sorry for you ...have you just neve rhad the opportunity... I wanted to cry.
And lastly... I hate some girls...girls who like to play mind games and really try to hurt you with their words...because they are so good at it that you so badly want to say LISTEN IDIOT FACE but you can't because you just want to cry.
ANd you want to cry because the only person you can really talk to about it is gone. One of the two people who have never really dissapointed you isn't there to just call anymore because even though I can call she is busy too and going through a lot of change and i cant just burden her with everything. SO I really feel lonely...

So I work with this guy at Mimis...and I am like superinlove...and this is like Katie love not serious love...this is like - I think you are mondo hot....so let me tell you a story...its bittersweet
SOOO all day adn night in my head I was like ... I want to ask him out on a date - ?!?!?!?!?!?
Dunno where this impulse came from and I was obviously not allowing myself to ignore it.
So I carry on...and hotguyoflife says hey wanna split something to eat? So I say YEA! SO we eat....and then I guess he heard me telling this girl courtney that I had to be there until 10 cuz my dad couldnt come get me so he says...hey do you want a ride home? And I'm all like okay sure...and in my head I'm like OF COURSE YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO ASK I WOULD HAVE JUST JUMPED ON YOUR CAR! not.
So we start driving home in the rain and we are listening to coldplay...and all is well ....and we're driving and we get to my house ...and since chelsea had dared me to ask him out I turned and said
Can I ask you soemthing? And you can say no
And he says....okay.
And I said....
Did you maybe wanna hang out sometime ...like outside of work
And he was like Yea Sure!
And Im like ...ookay. Okay.
And he was like .... I told you and Courtney that today that we all have to hang out sometime. And I just wanted to say
ARE YOU STUPID I dont mean you me AND COURTNEY! That is like what? One big happy family NOT you and me you and me lunatic dont you understand you are MY DESTINY!
But I kept my cool and I said ...okay thanks again. And I left and I didn't give him my number or anything STUPIDO on my part.
But oh well at least I got an okay...and hopefully I mean maybe Courtney won't be able to go. Not...she thinks he's amazingly wonderful also. Gosh.
I can't wait to go to FSU.
At FSU I am not talking to boys...I am doing my schoolwork...unless a boy just so happens to interrupt me then I will consider.

[19 May 2005|10:41pm] |
So its all over. 13 crazy years that have been for me- the greatest. I really don't think I would change anything except for to be given mroe time for the people that I have come to know and love so much.
Sitting on that stage last night was so awesome. I was talking to Brittany Vollmer and we both were trying to grasp the fact that we were in fact onstage recieveing our diplomas and watching our friends and classmates graduate. we agreed that it was so different than her behinf the scenes taping it and doing all the media and tech stuff and me handing out pamphlets and waiting in a choir dress to sing the National Anthem. And while we realized all this- we didn't fully grasp it...and to tell you the truth I still haven't. I haven't cried yet but I know that when I do it will be like the Nile River. My quote from the News Press was on the front page of local and state. That was cool.
Gala was super fun ... I went crazy on the slot machines....hung out with Brad and Katie Abbot mostly and played ping pong with Billy Less and beat his baseball playng booty...but I have a feeling that Phil Savage would have beaten me had I played him...even though he has a broken arm.
I am really tired even though I slept until 2pm... I bought 3 new bathing suits and a 5 new shirts today...excitalamente lol ....gonna go watch the best of Jimmy Fallon and fall asleep. Have a great night!
P.S. thanks kerrie for reminding me about the center picnic

| My Senior Tribute- A Special Farewell |
[13 May 2005|12:32am] |
OKAy this is ridiculously long but it will stay up until at least graduation. I hope everyone I mentioned gets a chance to read! 5 days everyone!
WEll everyone....yesterday was my last day. And I have to say it was a little sentimental and a lot sad. I cannot believe that I won't be coming to Cypress Lake High School Center for the Arts day in and day out anymore. ME and Sophina were talking about it and as much as there were times I loved it and hated it and I am glad to be leaving, if I had gone anywhere else I would not have met the wonderful variety of people that I did during my time at Cypress. I would have never met friends I believe I will have for life. But Chelsea, Christina, Brandon, and Adrienne know how I feel about them. Along with Stephanie, Matt, Catie O, Janna, Janell, Ivy everyone in the world and their mom from St. Leos and anyone who has been such a huge part of my life from places other than cypress. You are the top of the line, the best of the best and I know that you are people that I love and will always have in my heart.
Its everyone else that I don't think that I appreciate enough. Everyone here on this livejournal who has been diligent in reading my sometimes crazy posts, and everyone who may read this or I may not get to tell how much I care about them- I may have signed your yearbooks but I want to reenforce everything because I know that I may not ever talk to some of you again. SO I am going to tell you all how I feel. IN no particular order:
1. To Michael Fatica: You are one great guy. You are so amazingly talented it is unbelievable. You have such a way of balancing everything that you do whether it be school or clubs or acting or dancing singing anything you set your mind to- IT HAPPENS! I thank you always for being so positive and always helping me to realize that I can do it! Especialyl when it came to Mr. Cypress Craziness....you were such a huge help and I was honored to have you as a co-host just as I was to have you as a friend! I KNOW we will see eachother at FSU and we will definitely be hanging out because we are BTS!!!!!! We can make the ...Who Wants to be the Coolest People at FSU club!
2. Angela Mazziotta- What a beautiful person you are! I cannot say enough how glad I am that we became even the smallest bit of friends this year. You really helped to make Physics fun and I can think of no one better to go to when I want to relate to someone about my crazy guy catastrophes (SP?!?!) I know that you are someone who -even if we don't talk forever- could pick right back up where we started. I admire your dedication to everything that you do, your amazing talent and passion for dance that I wish I possesed even a small talent of lol....and most of all I really appreciate your kindness. I don't know if people tell you as often as they should but you have a gift Angela and I know that if I am ever feeling down I can talk to you- your happiness is contagious! The only thing I regret is that we didn't get to be friends sooner but no matter because it is better to have been friends for a short time that to never have been friends at all ....lol....sounds like the remix to a quote about love ?!?! Thanks for always being you and for laughing with me- WARNING : I Will miss you!
3. Krsiti Petersen- Since 9th grade I have known you and although we have never been that close I have always found a friend in you! I want to say thanks for letting me sit at your lunch table in 9th grade (lol) it may seem small but it really helped because I used to sit in the bathroom and eat lunch everyday because there was like nowhere for me! I know that we were closer in news this year (the ones who supposedly did nothing! lol) but I really want to thank you for being there in 9th grade even in the smallest ways like comforting when I initially didn't make the cheerleading team. I have always admired your AMAZING singing talent and everytime I thought about it in chorus I figured that if I could pick anyone else to swap voices with it would be you- I really hope and pray for the best for you if signing is what you decide. Thanks so much!
4. Bethany Fisackerly- You know bethany for someone I never knew too well, I really like you! I think that u made me feel the best about myself when you wrote the really nice messages to everyone on livejournal because it made feel like everything I have tried for and that I stand for is not a waste. You have helped me Bethany to remember that it doesn't matter what others think as long as u are doing what is best for you. Bethany- how intelligent of a person you are! Gosh for real I am so in awe of the amount of knowledge that your brain retains! I know that sounds weird but it truly is a compliment because you always seem to have the best answer for anything anyone could ask! I don't care Bethany that you didn't get into Harvard or Yale or University of Smartest people of America or wherever you applies because everyone you come in contact with I am sure will benefit from the extent of your knowledge and I think that will be the ultimate gift in the end. I would much rather know that I have helped so many others in such a positive way rather than having some scholastic measurement tell me how capable I am. I know you will do great things everywhere you are! The school you are going to is lucky to have you- and they know it! Everything is how it should be even if its not what we all thought we wanted. Maybe when we think we have the answer for everything we want,...someone else has to come tell us what is best......but I know I will come to you if ever I need a right answer!
5. Kerrie Bond- You know I never thought I would really be considered a friend of yours and vice versa. But it is the wonderful world of Chorus and Livejournal that has inevitebley brought you to influence me. I can have a terrible day and I can go on livejournal and most likely there is a funny entry for me to read from humorous Kerrie. You always crack me up with your sense of humor because it is different from everyone else. Kerrie you are definitely different from anyone else and it is one of the greatest differents. You know how to be yourself Kerrie and I admire you so much for you inability to be selfish. Everything that you do whether you realize or not- reflects your awesome personality. You are one of the most real people that I know besides my closest friends Kerrie who never really let herself get caught up in the weird world of high school. I don't know if you are told often how capable you are of making others feel good about themselves but you always help me to smile...even if it is by leaving a seemingly simple post like- I'm a closet BSB fanatic! It makes me realize that even though we don't hang out on weekends or call eachother on the phone you are one of my best acquaintances if that makes sense lol. You have a great quality that not many people have and that is being funny without KNOWING you are being funny or TRYING...its a difficult task but you are a master! I think that your passion for Broadways shows and all things music is so cool becuase it is not something you see everyday- even being in an arts school. Thanks for laughing about quiznos subs with me and for forever being a clost BSB FAN!
6. Kim Reuter- You know... I keep saying its the simple things...the simple things....but it truly is... Kim I have known you for a while and you always bring a smile to my face with your funny comments.....you have always been my greatest supporter of saying HOLLER! I apoligize because I know that you and Lindsay always thought that I was a little momish and always quick to judge but I promise I haven't been that way. Everyone is their own person and it is only my place to tell them the good things about them. I think you are so smart Kim and I think you do a great job of being so intellectual without allowing others to feel inferior. You know where you stand and you stay there. I want to thank you for always encouraging me and I want to say thanks because one day at Jason's deli we were talking about guys I had told that I liked and you said...wow katie you are so outgoing...and that really helped my self esteem because so many times telling people you like them is a diificult task...and even though I may get some reaactions from guys like...thanks for asking....I am glad that you are supportive of my effort! Haha.... I just want to say I hope you do and get out of life everything you hoped for and don't ever let anyone pull you down or hold you back!
7. Ashley B.- What a beautiful voice! Ashley every time you sing I want to cry or something emotional! You have such a pure and clean sound that is so natural and fresh that it seems as if every time you sing the noise is just floating out of you effortlessly! I have only known you for sucha short time but I appreciate all of your kindness and your laughter and I had fun being your secret santa! I know that we will make the best of our experience at FSU next year and just know that even though I am not a superbestfriendoflifeyet you can always come and talk to me if you find yourself missing home because I am sure I will be able to relate! You are an amazing person and I really respect your sense of morality and your respect for yourself because it is really evident and is a reflection of the great person you are! ANd ps......I SO WANT YOU SENSE OF STYLE!
8. Rita Pita Mamasita Irving- Man I wish you were going to FRICKEN FSU! No but I am glad that you chose USF for yourself because I am sure that you will do wonderfully there and I am sure that it is the right decision for you. Its funny that in the beginning of this year (feels like so long ago!) we were both do dead-set on UF and we ended up getting snubbed from the school we thought we were destined to go to....and as much as I was bitter I am really glad because it gave me a reality check that I might actually have to find an alternate place aside from my "dream school" because it just so happens that they did not want me. And it helped me realize that it is their own fault that they did not accept us because they will be missing out on two GREAT FANS!! And a great person (thats you) You are someone I knew very shortly and who helped keep me sane in Mrs. Grabowski and I only wish now that I had stayed in 4th period because I may not have learned a lot but I am sure I would have gotten to know you all better. And as much as I despise the name Kathy- I believe it and take it as a term of endearment. I will forever keep that horrible name as a memory of such a nice person! Thanks for being my UF buddy in Ms. G's and for always having a smile! I wish you the best in everything and I really hope that you enjoy your time in the future and are happy with the decisions you made about school because in the end I am sure it will be the best decision and you will have so much fun!
9. Darlene Stratton- Man your personality just blows me away...and that is a good thing! Darlene I don't think I have ever seen you truly unhappy! Sad, discouraged or defeated maybe yes but never have you been UNHAPPY! Because even when you have a negative emotion you make a joke or a side-splittinglty funny comment to lift yourself and others up. Your confidence amazes me. Honestly Darlene I know a few people who have a similar personality to yours and I can say truthfully that you can pul off your spontaneous, star-struck, driven, enthusiastic, bubbly, uplifiting personality in the most UN_ANNOYING WAY that it should be a talent in itself. Darlene you never cease to amaze me. I really don't know too much about your personal life aside from what I read on livejournal but it seems as if you go through a lot...and for being the person that you are with all that you must deal with friends family or otherwise - I think you are doing do great! You have an incredible balance and I think that you have a great grasp on who you are and you don't let people change that. If you love McCullay (SP?!?!) Caulken (I tried I apologize I should have not tried) and the rest of the world doesn't well TO HELL WITH THEM YOU SUPPORT WHAT YOU LOVE! Thanks for all teh encouragement Darlene seriously. I don't know if I ever told you enough and I may have seemed standoffish or in a hurry but you have really helped me more than once to boost my day! Everyday Darlene you go through it as if you could not be happier being alive and it is contagious! Never give up such a spirit and I hope you realize what a gift of motivation and gratitude you have!
10. Tee Botchford- Okay Tee....you may not like this but it comes straight from the heart no BS! I really think you have grown up a lot! I honsetly wasn't the most fond of you ...not that I disliked you I just don't think I knew you for the person you are. So I of course did what everyone else would probably do and just dismiss the thought of anything other than what I had created in my head! Tee you are so cool and I was wrong. And for the record I am sorry about putting that picture in the senior video .. I didn't know you would be upset or I wouldn't have done it! :( Gosh Tee I know I didn't know you that well and I still don't as it is with a lot of the people I am writing about but even you Tee who I wasn't very close with has impacted me. I cannot tell you how nervous I was to sing for Cabaret. I think you may relate because I am sure it is something every performer goes through but I was terrified. I stood on the stage the day of practice and sang because I had to but I was just waiting for people to boo me or for Jarrod to put his fingers over his nose and make the face as if the room suddenly smelled of dead fish. Everyone was so trained and so used to performing and I was okay in my house or my car but infront of others I don't do as well. And then when I was done singing and you had such an accolade for me and you were saying how good I did- it really gave me the reassurance that I needed to even perform that night. I thought to myself....if I am not that close with Tee and she thinks I sound good and I can do it ...than I can do this! So thank you ...evne though it was minute it was a big help and I appreciated it! I hope we will get to know eachother better at FSU (go NOLES!) and if not- I hope you have the best time!
11. Katie Callans- THE OTHER KATIE WHO STOLE MY NAME....on three...1,2,3 SISTER KATHERINE DREXEL! Fricker...what to tell you...all these paragraphs put together would not be enough.... I have known you since I can remember and you are such a special person to me...you lameo I am starting to cry....dearest katie my favorite sophomore almost JUNIOR I will never forget you ever. Our beach house, our summer at St Leos...our weekend at your house with chicken caesar salad and bread and the britney spears dress. (eww), every cary movie, every camping trip, My 16th birthday and every sunday that we got in trouble for talking in the front pews. We have gone through soooooooo much together and no matter what I know that you have been and will always be there for me, and vice versa. There are times when I want to be like KATIE SHUTUP and I am sure you have felt the same but if you ever needed to talk at 2am I would be there listening! You have grown so much I know it and I know you will continue to grow even when I Am away at school into one of the most beautiful people that I will ever know. You are so smart katie and you have such a great overall outlook on things that you as a person can get through anything. You are so strong and so able and I admire you for all that you have gone through...because each time you realize what is important to you and you come out not necessarily always on top- but defintiely as the "better man". Your family has been to me such a great support system that I feel as if you are my cousin...even though I know you aren't. :) I hope Katie that you continue to be the great girl that I know you as to everyone you come in contact with because I know that life is so difficult especially in high school and I will pray everyday that you make the right decisions and you make decisions for yourself- even if it isnt what everyone else agrees with. Don't be afraid to speak out and speak up katie and never accept anything than the utmost respect because you deserve it. And if you show others (Which I Am sure you do) that you deserve it just in your actions then you will recieve it with no hesitation. You are gonna do great things. I have so much faith in you and I hope that you always have as much faith in yourself ...times five more:) I love you!
12. Lindsay Shelton- My very first friend! How would I have survived that freshman year without you? I can still remember the very frist day when we had to pick partners for the stupid my country tis os thee or something, It was gay but it brought me to my biggest freshman year influence. Someone who I could hang out with and talk about boys or run to when things went wrong and I definitely needed a good shoulder to cry on... BUT NOT SOMEONE WHO WAS FOND OF THE PHONE! Lindsay you are a beautiful girl and you have such a talent of singing and an amazing gymnastics gift! YOu are so blessed! And I know that I am so happy for you and proud you are going to Penn State0 I wish I had applied! I know you will do just as great there as in Cypress if not better because you are such a dedicated and helpful person! Thanks for everything this year and for helping me deal....and thanks for always listening when I rambled on for the life of me about Chase... I am sure that was annoying.. I cringe when I think of how many times I must have brought his name up in conversation....if you could file a restraining order for talking about someone ... IWOULD HAVE IT! Thank you for your hatred of boys with me and for your company in news.....THANKS!
13. Bradlee Schinke- I never thought it was possible to become friends with a person so quickly and for such a short time and have it feel like you have known them all your life. But you have proved me wrong. In the extremely too short time that I have known you, I have had fun every second. I know that any time I have something to share or to tell or to vent- you are there ready to listen and to laugh or be upset or try and cheer me up. And you and Brandon are the only two guys I can really talk to about anything. I know that I probably am a little like a mom sometimes with my advice or warnings but I just want you to know that I care about you and I am just looking out for one of MY best friends :) I am thankful for you helping have so much fun at Publix and for understanding the Pennsylvania lingo and for every smile you have caused when I was not so happy. I know that when I transfer to Publix in Tally it won't be the same but I am confident that we will stay friends and I know that we can always hang out when I come home- and I will be back to work summers and breaks so don't think you are rid of me yet! I am so proud of everything that you have accomplished....you are a talented lacrosee player and I wanna say thanks for inviting me to a game because I have had so much fun at every one i have been to. I know that whatever you decide to do.... Firefighter, CSI, Big Nasty Stripper you will do it with the best of your ability and you will be so successful! (especially if you choose stripper I hear that is pretty promising nowadays ;) I want you to know that even though you may have slept through like everyday of first period....you are a really smart guy because I think you havea good sense of right and wrong and you pay attention to that. I think that you don't get caught up in stupid petty junk and I admire how mature you really are for a guy because most aren't. I will miss you so much- You are a great guy Brad and I wish we had had more time to be closer friends but I think that everything has worked out just right and to me you will be a friend for life!
14. Ellen Mitchell- Hooookay SO! Ellen- you are such a leader! You have mastered such a balancing act this year and I don't think you got enough credit that you deserve! Renaissance, SGA, NHS, school, work, SPORTS, life, and every other butt-thing in between you do great at and I truly think that when we all come back to the ten year reunion you will be a successful individual in whatever endeavors you undertake. I thank you for all of the times you provided me with transportation :) and for every helping hand, every suggestion, every laugh at my laugh, and everything in between. I was so glad that we got along and were a even friends because I feared that our SGA group would not like eachother too much but I can honeslty say I really enjoyed time spent with you. I hope you have some of the best times at Flordia Southern and that you continue to leave such a mark there and on others in the future as you have left for Cypress and for me. You are a great person and I will miss you!
15. Shannon Rae- Wow ....do we ever go way back huh? I remember tenth grade summer and 11th grade beginning of the year how close we were Shan and I missy you so much! You were always so great to me shannon and one of the most real people I have met. All of the time spent at St. Leos will be some of the greatest memories I will have and you are a part of that! I think that sharing faith with people really leaves an imprint. Even if it was temporary or forever I think that that kind of bond and relation is one that has a solid foundation that can never be undone. I know that no matter which way you and I go and how separate or differnt we may be, I will always be here for you and I have confidence that if I ever needed help u would try to the best of your abilities. Thank you Thank you Thank you for all the inspiration you have given to me. All the guidance all the knowledge and all the reality. You are a unique person shan and I mean that in such a great and positive way... you wil and always be YOU and not like anyone else i know. I have shared some of the most important and impressionable times of my life with you as a friend and I know that I am blessed to have known you!
And to close I just want to say thank you to everyone. I am so sorry if I did not mention you I
LOVE YOU! I was never looking forward to Cypress in the beginning and all of you however large or small have influenced, inspired, infuriated or impacted a part of who I am today and I want to thank you for you have all left some type of imprint on my heart.
