I've been locked inside this house, all the while you hold the key

I've been dying to get out, it might be the death of me.
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go,
I promise I'm going because
I've got to get out of here.
I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I've got to get out of here
and I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.
(be my escape- relient k)

It's been a long time since I've blogged huh? Sorry it took so long- it's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog. (that was for you Elizabeth. :P )

So what's happened? Let's see...school, more school and some more school. And rehearsal and rehearsal...

Monday after rehearsal, Kevin and David were over. :D Haha, it's always a fun time with these guys! "We should go to the thriftshop!" "The thriftshop closed at three." "Why?!" "Well...a whole bunch of old ladies work there...they need to get to bed!" :D hahahaha... We had several funny conversations while Dylan played video games :P

Then Tuesday, Biology was good. I was really sore from a dance move that a friend taught me that I tried to do without stretching....fail.

Wednesday, good. Thursday good. Friday.

Friday is where it begins.

I'd been struggling from a lack of sleep for a long time (and still am) and Friday was the beginning...of the end. :P lol..not really but it was crazy. I had co-op right til rehearsal, and rehearsal went on until ten. Then after rehearsal, Elizabeth and Kevin and David came over because we needed to be up at the church again really early the next day. So the guys went to bed and me and Elizabeth went to my room and watched Hercules (:-D )...we then got into one of those "Im so extremely tired but I can't sleep so now I'm laughing over everything" phases. And guess what? Kiera slept through the whole thing. Win.

Then Saturday, we got up early and got ready to go- we had to be at the church at 8:30 . We got our breakfast and sang on the way to warm up our voices. After band we had rehearsal until four, then I had THG. Then near the end of THG Mrs Hoffman took a group of us (me and my friends lol) to American University where the Covenant Life girls and guy's Varsity were playing the championship game. :D Okay number 1) American University is amaazzzzinnnggg. number 2) the games were also quite amazing!!! I had so much fun cheering on my friends with other friends, and guess what? Both CovLife teams won! GO COUGARS! CHAMPIONS!

On the way home (I left after the first game, I was so tired) I fell asleep in the Hoffmans car. I woke up to the car shaking back and forth...thanks guys. :P

Then I went home, got ready for bed and fell asleep. I was awaken an hour later by a text. Merph.

Sunday I went to THG sooooo tired, but I still had a lot of fun. :) Tree House Gang is always fun, I love it a lot. After THG I went home, cleaned up and relaxed for the rest of the day...yes. :)

And so far this week has been pretty uneventful. Pretty depressing when it comes to school. :P I hate school and decisions...right now I just want to run away to Neverland for a while. sigh. It's one of those weeks this week... :( prayer and hugs are appreciated.

comments pleeaassseee! :D

Busy days, sledding partys, sleepovers and Girl Appreciation Day

:)

So where do we start? Friday. Friday I had rehearsal starting at two, and then went to a sledding party at the Church. On my way out of rehearsal, I went to catch up with Allie, and there was another girl standing with her- when she turned around, IT WAS KIRSTIN!!! I screamed and gave her a huge hug. :D Then there was an amazing sledding party at the church, the admin team had made so many cool runs for the sleds and they were so fast and fun to go down!

Then I went to Taco Bell with some friends, and was involved in a flash mob. :D Then Jayme drove us back to my house (Me and Kirstin were riding in the Prius, and Dylan drove his own car because he wanted to stay at the church longer instead of Taco Bell) We sang along to Skillet music in the car with harmonies :D Jayme figured out that's the best way to keep Kirstin and I from talking. :P haha. So when we got back to my house, I ate a sandwich, but you didn't need to know that ;) haha, and we talked around the table for a while, watched some Phineas and Ferb...but mainly, we played Beatles Rockband! :D It's always so fun when you have a whole band- the guitar, bass, drums, and three vocals. Very fun :D We were up until midnight playing rockband and then Kirstin and I stayed up late talking. The funny thing is that Kiera normally gets upset about this, but we turned on the light as soon as we got to my room and Kiera was fast asleep- but as soon as we turned off the light Kiera said half asleep "Oh..you guys are so annoying..." :P

I woke up just before eight on Saturday morning, got ready and headed downstairs. We had breakfast and hung out for a little while before heading to the church for more rehearsal. Rehearsal was long...but at the end of the day, the sweetest thing happened. Some of the guys in the cast banded together to buy the girls in the cast and crew roses for Valentines Day-er- Girl Appreciation Day ;D David also wrote this amazing, hilarious poem for the girls. :D Thanks guys!

Then I got to help celebrate David's birthday with friends, which was a ton of fun! It was also fun to fellowship with friends, and get to know people I don't know as well like Jesse and Jonah. (Like, Jesse and David's woodland adventure? That Jesse. And Jonah is Keith in one of their newer videos :D They're both a ton of fun to be around.) I know I've said this before but I shall say it once again, Happy Birthday David- you rock!

I woke up this morning to find a card and chocolate from my Dad, as well as lots of sweets to celebrate Valentines day! Including strawberry shortcake and cherry pie. I love cherry pie! :D Love you Daddy!

I went to first service today, and there was an AMAZING message by CJ Mahaney about God's love and us being chosen. :) It really spoke to me, it was incredible.

Then I stuck around to talk to people, my family left and I stayed with Dylan cause he had starting point. So I talked with friends, and hung out for a little bit. Then I stayed until Dylan was done with Starting point, almost all the way through the second service.

And I know I've said this before too- but I have some of the best friends in the world! :D They are all so amazing, and through them all I've met so many awesome people! :D And on Valentines Day I'd just like to say to all of my friends that I love you so much! You all are incredible sisters and brothers in Christ, and I learn so much from you constantly.

And...here I am. I'm probably going to do some dancing, and a lot of singing to my self the rest of the day. And school starts back up tomorrow. Ugh.

If it snows...I'm going to die. Or maybe not die, just run away to Australia or the Philippines or somewhere WARM!

Comments Please! :D

I wish I had a soundtrack for Epic moments in my life.

I mean...don't we all? I just make my own soundtrack most of the time. :P

So I've been snowed in for about a week and I've been dying of being cooped up and not seeing anyone. But yesterday...all that changed!

Insert epic music here: Indiana Jones theme

So Dad decided that we should go bumper sliding yesterday. Bumper sliding is when someone (in this case, my dad) drives a 4wd vehicle (our suburban) and attaches a thick long rope to the back of the car, and the other end to the back of a sled. Then a person sits on the sled and is dragged along by the truck. :D

So we went around Damascus trying to find a neighborhood that wasn't plowed. Pretty much every street had been plowed! This destroys the point of bumper sliding!!! So...I knew the Porter's neighborhood hadn't been plowed yet so I called David and he said that they had about six inches of snow on the road. PERFECT! So I told him that we'd be coming through their neighborhood. So after a little bit, we showed up at the Porters, me being dragged along by the truck :D Amy and their cousin Jonah were in the front yard, and were pretty surprised to see me. So were the rest of the Porters when I walked in their house. :P haha. David and Jonah came bumper sliding with us :D It was SOOO fun! Plus it was such a relief to see and hang out with friends. Poor guys, I talked them to death- I was just so excited to see more familiar faces! Haha. Sorry!

But it was a lot of fun! When it wasn't our turn on the sleds we'd ride on the back of the track- which was really scary and dangerous at one point when four of us were riding the back of the truck. :P Then Dad made us stop and get in the car haha :D

Insert epic music: Final Countdown

After a while of bumper sliding, we went home. An hour or so after we got back, Jayme came over to watch Zombieland with us. :D Us being Dad, Dylan, Ramil and Me. I thought the movie was rated PG 13 at first, then they told me it was R. Oh. I figured if I freaked out I'd go and watch Harry Potter up in my room. But I really enjoyed it. :) Pretty freaky at points, but very funny and I liked it a lot! For the record: It is rated R for Violence, Gore and Language. If you do want to watch it, before watching you should probably go on IMDB to see what exactly is in the movie and ask your parents!!! I don't want you to watch it and be horrified or get in trouble and then blame me- "But Kylie recommended it!" No. I'm not necessarily recommending it- it's not a family movie and there is definitely some bad stuff in it. Okay? Okay. Moving on.

But anyway...yeah I really enjoyed the movie. I have never wanted to own a gun so much in my life. And...I think I need to stop teasing Dylan about his zombie plan. I need people I can trust in case of zombie apocalypse. ;)

Then Jayme hung around for a while. It was a lot of fun, a great day. :)

Comments please! :D

A wop ba ma loo bop A wop bam boom!

So we've been snowed in. Since Friday. So what have I done?

Friday- Co-op was canceled before it even started snowing. So we decided to have a Harry Potter Marathon. So we went to the Germantown library and got all of the Harry Potter movies we didn't own. My mother was determined. "Elbow and push anyone who tries to take those movies from you."

haha, I love my mom.

The Porters came over part way through the first one. David, Katie and Chris. It was David's 16th Birthday! :D David (as said in previous posts) is a very good friend of mine. He is such an amazing friend, he's an amazing godly example and so fun to be around. Happy Birthday Dave! :) So anyway, they came over and even though it was just for a little bit it was a lot of fun. We were watching Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. :D Thank you guys for coming over, I hope you enjoyed it!

We finished the Harry Potter marathon, we were up until about midnight finishing it... :P

Saturday- Everything was officially canceled. So I decided to make a documentary of the day's snowed in events. This included our Cinderella movie marathon. This also included a montage of my mom, kiera and I singing to every song in Rodgers and Hammersteins cinderella. Doing nails (yes...me) and such. Also me falling in the snow TWICE.... :P Haha...yeah...

Sunday- Stuff was canceled. My siblings went sledding at a friends house, and I decided not to go cause I wasn't feeling so great and didnt really feel like hiking up a tall sledding hill. And I DO NOT APPRECIATE ANGRY TEXTS FROM FRIENDS! I got three angry texts from different people for not going that day...You know who you are....

So I stayed home and helped mom clean up the house. And then we had the Kelleys over for the SUPERBOWL!!! My new found football loving self was very excited about yelling at the TV and eating junk food. :D It was a good game. Not to mention AMAZING commercials! It was a lot of fun having the Kelleys over, especially since I hadn't seen them for a week almost. and I got to yell at the TV a lot and eat a lot of Junk food. It was a good night. :D

yeah well...anyway superbowl was good. Then I proceeded to tell Elizabeth how I had been thinking a lot about college in the snow and how I wanted to go to Baltimore. She then said "Do you know what UMBC stands for?" I replied "University of Maryland Baltimore Campus." Elizabeth said..."No. U Made a Bad Choice." :-| humph.

It's not written in stone yet. So don't get all like "ahhhhchtsdphhfffttachaaa!!!" that was a Kylie sound effect. heehee. Point is...don't get all worked up like "oh no Kylie's leaving and she's gonna get murdered in baltimore yadda yadda yadda" like some of my friends did... *cough* you know who you are....

And then I went to sleep. And then woke up this morning, to pretty much all classes canceled this week but still homework to do. (but not as much because of snow days) I was going to go sledding today at a friends house too, but I woke up with a ridiculously stuffy nose and head clog. I have to blow my nose every couple of minutes...rather annoying. So I decided that it'd probably be best if I stayed home. Yuck. And I planned my birthday party! :D Yes...my birthday is in July, don't judge me...it was fun. :D heehee.

and...that's all thats really up right now. Expecting ten to twenty more inches of snow. AHHHH!!!!!

Dear Snow,
I hate you. Nobody wants you here. Why don't you just go away? I'm sure Florida and Texas would be overjoyed to have you. Go bother them.
Love,
Kylie

yeahh...snow stinks.....I'm ready for spring...

and Kirstin...if you're reading this....I miss you. :( I was trying to sing a harmony earlier today and I was like...."I NEED KIRSTIN!!!"

yup.

Comments please!!!
