Ok so this week was good until about tuesday at lunch. What happened Tuesday at lunch, you ask? Well, i asked my doubles partner if she was going to be at practice that afternoon. She said and I quote, "No, I can't make it today, I have Coffee House." What the hell is that? We had Regionals the very next day and she hadn't played in two weeks!! Now, this is my SENIOR YEAR and Doing really well in badminton was important to me, not only because my sister and i did really well last year, but also because I had worked really hard and wanted to make my people proud. I reminded her about Regionals and she told me she might not be able to make it also because of Coffee House. She is my freaking doubles partner and if she didn't go, i didn't go and that was not about to happen! i would have pulled out of class by her hair if she hadn't shown up, not kidding!!!!! I was pissed, both coaches were pissed, and our friends on the team were all rather confused. At Regionals, in the first game, she couldn't hit the strings to save her soul. I was just getting madder and madder by the second, but I knew that I fwe could just get throught the first game we would go to State. We lost the first match, won the second and barely won the third. We are going to State, but we didn't win another game after that. We ended up playing nine total matches, winning only four of them. Now i am not putting all the blame on her, i wasn't exactly perfect yesturday, but I did put more into it. she wasn't even moving that much, which pissed me off more. Then when I get home, my dad calls my mother and gives me the phone so I can report back to her. She made me even more mad by trying to comfort me and tell me it was just a game, nothing more. Bullshit! to me, it wasn't just a game, it was something I love doing and hate to fail at because I know I am better then what happened. You know how sometime you are just in one of those moods where you just need to be pissed for awhile and you hate it when people try to make you feel better? That was where i am living right now! If she blows off any more practice, i swear I will hurt her the second we are done with State! I love her to death, but she need to get her comitments straightened out. Badminton came first, Coffee House second, not the other way around! ............................................. ............................................. Sorry about the ranting. i need to find another outlet. Maybe i join kick boxing or something else where I can be violent and its ok. that would be fun. I could just go somewhere and beat the crap out of some poor unexpecting mat or dummy dude, and nobody would get hurt unless I went overboard and hurt myself, that would suck. I decided i wasn't going to ask the guy to Homecomeing because I don't really think he is interested in me that way. So alas my Homecoming date is my dear friend Genny, if we ever get dresses and tickets. We should probably get on that concidering the dance is next Saturday. Ok well I am uber tired and its only 5:30. Dang tonight is going to suck! Kerstin

This is only the second day of my October Break and I have already managed to get myself grounded. Nice, huh? I am planning to start excersizing in the morning, because, i am way to bored and have to get up. hopefully i will run at least two laps and do at least two stadiums, but I am way out of shape(...shut up Andy, nothing from you!). In other news i do have a few new crushes, one of which i hope asks me to Homecoming soon. He is a really great guy, who I never thought I would like. But hey, he is sweet and funny and can take a hit and give it back, playfully of course. I have to get a dress and jewlery. Which leads me to the next topic up for discussion, I HAVE LITTLE TO NO MONEY!!!! Where the hell did it all go? Yeah, I had to blow 40 bucks on me and a friend to go see a play for school, and cannot in good conscience ask her to pay me back, because i needed her to go with me. School is fine, but I hate Choir with a passion that beats all else. French has gotten uber confusing now that we have throw in direct and indirect objects, en,and y. It is really kicking my ass big time, but nobody else gets it. I actually had to go in for help after school(first time ever in my life no matter the class). Normally I can figure things out on my own, but not this stuff. It is pure evil I am sure of that at least. I got one B and the rest are all A's. Suprisingly, the B isn't in French but in math, wierd right? But hey, that will get fixed and I will get straight A's at the semester. I decided that I will no longer be white as a ghost and I am planning on getting my tan back tomorrow, rain or shine, preferably cloudy then rainy towards the end. (Random fact about moi: The perfect day to me is a gray sky with lots and lots of rain and puddles to splash is. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know, Seniors are supposed to be more mature then that, but hey I like to go against the current sometimes. Keep life interesting, it is so much better this way!!) I am stoked for Halloween! I am going to be a woman attending a masqerade ball. Ana and I are planning on going through the corn maze this year with some friends. Yazz and I are going to go through Geniva's haunted house with her as she points out all the hotties. That is what I call a good time... a ton of really hot guys jumping out at you screaming something incomprehensible at you. Not something you get everyday here in Scottsdale, bummer. Scolarships are calling my name and I am going to get one, hopefully. While I fill out my college applications this week, i will also apply for scholarships, lots and lots of scholarships. Lots of love forever and always, Kerstin

Ok, so my senior year is going by really well. Although is still love french it has become rather difficult for me. I am having problems remembering everything and because it is before lunch this year I actually have to study at home. Every other class is great. English is boring as always, but my Trig/PreCalc class maor then makes up for that. I have Rachel and Spencer sitting behind me to talk to and all we do is laugh and talk after we take the notes. I turned in my Econ project yesturday, which was totally easy and kinda cool. My sister was right howvever, econ is incredibly boring and rather tedious. I am sitting in Andy's office today watching his fish excersize in the tank. We had Senior Stadium Painting on Saturday and that was totally awesome. I got completely painted head to toe, it was amazing. I had three hand prints on my boobs, all from different people, two on my butt, also from different people. After that i went home and took a shower. It took me about a half an hour to get all the paint off and I found more in my hair this mourning brushing it. I have had "Part of Your World" from the Little Mermaid stuck in my head since tuesday and because i couldn't figure out all the lyrics and it was driving me nuts, i got them offline. Oh yes I am totally cool. For badminton, we have won three game and lost two and have another game today. I am having fun this year!! I am currently number one varsity, Yazz is #2, Julie is 3, Kelle is 4, Noelani 5, and Lexy 6. We are doing ok but not as well as i hoped. Julie and I won our first doubles match together on tuesday!!! WOOPIE!!!!!!!!! I will try to keep you better updated. Sorry kids! Kerstin

Not that i don't like college or anything i just hate it because it stole two of my best friends away. Jasmine left early this morning and Katie left on the 21. I hate knowing i won't be able to see them everyday. They have been such great friends to me and i hate that they are gone. I started my SENIOR YEAR on the 22, had my 17th on the 23 and rachel's birthday on the 24. Badminton finally started on the 23 and is keeping rather busy. if we had a captin, everybody nominated me. Because i am the president of the badminton club, i am in charge of schedualing events, ordering shirts, collecting everybody's money for everything (eventhought we have a treasurer but she doesn't handle money well so i getit) i also have to call Nelson and findout if he wants to come help us out. I am totally stressing because our first game is against Prescott on tuesday and wea haven't had much time to practice. Julie and i are doubles partners this year for the entire season!!! YAHHH!!!! I actually like my classes except for english. I don't really know why i don't like it buti don't. i do however love that she keeps the lights off in the classroom. it envokes a feeling of comfort there, and makes it easier to fall asleep. My math class is so far my favorite because i have my rachel and spencer sits mext to us. he has literally put himself into a corner surrounded by girls. We have already freaked him out with a sticker that said "I'm naughty SPANK ME". It was so very funny. Econ is cool because i actually know somethings about it, it was awesome. On the second day of class, before we opened the books the teacher gave a 75 question pretest in wich i got a 49 on that was i believe the best score in the class held by myself one other. We get to sing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Popular" from Wicked in women's choir and French, well i always love. I ta for stevo sixth hour which is totally awesome always. if i have nothing to do, i could just do my homework(yah right). i love being a senior especially because when i tell someone to get the fuck out of my way in the cramped and crowded hallways, they acctually move!!!! I have been waiting three years for that to happen and its finally here!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I will try to keep you guys better updated. Oh by the way, for those wondering, the road trip was a blast!!!!!!!! Kerstin

Happy Independace Day ya'll! Hope you got to see spectacular fireworks and kiss the ones you love. I hope you got to spend the day with the ones you care about and love. Most of all, however I hope you thought, if only just for an instance, about those fighting over seas for us all. They didn't get to spend the day with thier families, new born babies, or even thier idiotic friends. They got no fireworks, just gunshots and bombs. Most people have forgotten all about them over there, but we should all sit down and think about them everyday they are gone! If you pray, please do that, if not just hope they make it, all of them make it baack to thier families so they can celebrate all of thier stupid family traditions again. I don't personally know any of them, but sombody connected to me in some way does, and you can be sure they are thinking of thier loved ones risking thier own lives to protect ours on this Fourth of July. Please let them come home again safe and sound to the ones they love while I spend my days with the ones I love, Kerstin

You scored as Mermaid. Mermaid: Mermaids are also known as Sirens. These creatures were beautiful women who tricked sailors into becoming completely entranced by their haunting voices and found death soon after. Not all stories of Mermaids are about gentle loving sea people. They are mystical, magical, and extremely dangerous. They have a way about them that brings anyone they are around to seem enchanted.

Hi I am a psycho! Life sucks, but hell what else is new? I want to be out with my friends, having fun, but no stuck at home, having no fun without friends. Have a nice day/night. Kerstin

Caylin and Katie and Leti got home today from Europe!! I was so very excited to see them, but they weren't much fun. That, however, is rather understandable sinse they just got back from EUROPE! Because Amber will be in Cali tomorrow everybody is getting together on Thursday. Jazz, Caylin, Amber and I all went over to Nikki's house tonight and went swimming and just hung out. I had absolutely no life whatsoever while they were gone. Nikki's mom makes the best smoothies ever(!!) and their puppy is sooooooooooooo cute!!!! i have missed everybody. It totally sucks to be the youngest in a group like that. They all did their senior things and got great inside jokes and everything and I couldn't be there. Being a grade behind a ton of your friends is like no fun at all, go figure. I am goingt to miss Jazz so much when she goes to New York for college. I hate being the frelling youngest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is the worst! On top of that I am like to only one of my friends that doesn't drink at all, so when they have thier parties/ the most fun, I rarely get invited. Life totally blows. I mean I love it, but it really sucks sometimes. Oh, so the traveling shirt got passed to Jazz tonight and on Thursday, when we go out together, it will be passed between the three of us, Amber, Jazz and I, the entire night!! Excited bout that! We allways have fun. (Background story about the traveling shirt: the 3 of us went to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants together and Jazz had borrowed the shirt for the night and we decided after the movie that the shirt would be passed between us. We are starting to make up some rules for the shirt such as no picking of the nose, no removal except by either self or HOT boy, and the other are still being set. We are a wierd bunch, but we are very close and like sisters anyway, so what the hell whynot do it?!) And that is all she wrote. Lots of love forever and always, Kerstin

Ok so this is my last week of working at Papa John's! it is very sad, but exciting. i think I might want to go work at a bookstore and maybe I could get a discount on the book i buy. That would be totally awesome!! i have finished two of my books and am working on a third. i have to read Ten Big Ones before I get Eleven On Top, both books by Jane Evanovich. i am planning on going to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Monday with my friend Genny. Very excited! My sister is coming home on Tuesday and I can't wait to see her. Apparently she got her hair cut short, but I don't know how it looks. i can't wait to see her!! i have hated not having her around and fighting with her over stupid things that really don't matter at all, but hey its what we do. Next school year will be wierd without her around at school telling me to buzz off. I have to find a place that has the gift I was plannign on giving her for graduation!! it is such a total pain to find, but she will love it. She has wanted one for a long while, but I haven't been able to get it for her. I felt bad and stilll do because the store didn't have it on time. I would say what it is, but i don't want her to know before recieving the gift. That would take all the fun out of it. I miss all of my friends!! This is why I hate summer! I end up having no life and I never get to see anyone!!!! I have to see Jasmine or Amber, outside of work, so we can do our little traveling shirt thing. We are wierd people, but that is what makes us fun and unique amoungst other things. i have been having really great dreams lately that I actually remember. I never remember my dreams! Now that I am writing a story, I have been remembering them. its kindof wierd! Last night in my dream, I was in this huge house in ireland that had a wonky staircase that was supposed to be a spiral staircase i guess. it was absolutely gorgeous!! I was there for the summer after a year in college, but i still looked exactly the same, no older or wiser, granted the date isn't really all that far off into the future. I attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Anyway, a bunch of people were there with me, but only Genny and I were staying for the entire summer. There were these two guys that were our guides and worked and lived at the house. Genny liked this one guy named Chris, and I iked the other. They were only a year older then us and went to school in Ireland and were a major yum on the scale. I remember this huge room with a ton of books that i had read and/or heard of and were planning on reading. This room had pictures that only a family member would be able to have. I don't know who the owner was but she had a ton of money and really liked my hair. She ran a salon in half of the first floor. This was three story castle, basically. I want it!! Ok on to other things. i am going to go to school sometime next week and talk to Andy so I can eat oll of his food. I have missed the twirp, and Mike/ Mark!! Can't wait to see him or them. That is all bouncing around inside my psychotic head. it is a very busy place. There a a few people in there that like to contradict eachother. it gives me a headache sometimes. Lots of love forever and always, Kerstin

Andy- I don not have ADD and thank you very much for the comment you twirp!! You better be there next year! I need my candy supplier! Whoever said that Andrew and i would make a cute couple is totally wrong!! eww no!! please tell me who you are and if you are one of my friends, shame shame!! Anyways, my work is closing down on June 19! They just told us today and what the hell, thanks for the notice guys that was great. I was under the impression that it was closing in September at least after school had started up again, the day before my B-DAY none the less. Oh and I graduate on 6-6-06, 666 what the hell, thats not a bad omen, noooooooo. The school district is fucking with my senior year!!!!!!! i hate them. We are have a party at work the day it closes and the guys are trying to think they are coming to my house with a shit load a boose and talking to my parents about a "party". They suck! I love my job except when I am the one they all choose to pick on at once, not so much with the fun. I finally finished Riptide today and it is completely awesome!! I love it sooo much!! i got grounded last Friday cause I was a half and hour late coming home past cufew the night before SATs. i didn't study anyways so who give a crap?! My dad said i was grounded for two weeks then when we were talking about it today he said it was three. That is freaking psyco!!!! three weeks for a half and hour?! What the hell is that crap? My mother made me a deal; either I get paid for all the extra work i've been doing around the house or they lift grounding. I told them they had to tell me how much I would be getting paid before a desicion was made and it has to be made very soon bacause I have plans. The desicion has to be made tomorrow. Life without my sister here to redirect thier unending and horrid attention blows like no other!!! I love my parents, but wow would I like to hit them a lot!!!!!!! They are way too overprotective, it is totally insane!! Genny comes back on tuesday and she has presents and we are going to Starbucks and the mall. i love her to death, but i am totally jealous, not so much with the whole boyfriend thing, but with the cruise thing!! She gets to be freazing with hot guys all around her while i am here working a sweating. that doesn't sound too terribly fair to me but hey, next summer it me and her in Europe!!!!!!!!!!!! Graduates!! Wow, scarey thought, very very scarey thought!!!!!!!!! Lots of love forever and always, Kerstin

It is wierd. My sister left foe Europe yesturday and i really miss her. I didn't think i would actually miss her. She called today atlike three in the afternoon, and it was about midnight in Paris. She had just got back from the La Tour Eifel. She is really enjoying herself and already got me two keychains, its tradition don't ask this is a wierd family. She sends her love to all her friends still here and not talking to me, tisk tisk!. I hope she has a great time but doesn't speak French too much cause she can't pronounce it right at all. Not overexagerating here, she is really bad at it. Very sad. Work was fun today, Andrew and I were throwing thing at eachother almost the entire night. It was a blast. Noe is a little scared of me because i was making lots of noise throwing dough against the wall. Dave thinks Andrew and I like eachother, yah as brother and sister maybe, that is all. He is dating one of my best friends and eww no. (This is not Caylin's Andrew, FYI!!) I keep forgeting what day it is. That probably isn't good. The people at waork think I have ADD, not true, I'm just very hyper while there. i love it there and the people i work with are totally kick ass. its been awile since i have updated this and will most likely be a while till its updated again. Sorry. Love you lots!!!!! Kerstin

There once was two young ladies with braces. They had endured the pain that comes with the territory of having braces. After almost two years of having that bloody things attached to them, pulling and pushing thier teeth in all different directions. They wore the bands to align thier jaws (not fun). Finally on May 5 all the pain and torturous hours (over exagerating just a tad) will be over!! The End. PS they lived happily ever after with out braces at one sister's first prom and the other's senior prom.

Oh My Goodness, oh my goodness! My parents came home yesturday after Caylin and I got back from work. That was wierd because they are very rarely late comming home. Anyway, i figured my mother and father were either at themovies or shopping for basket fillers. They got home and I was watching a movie while Caylin was on the phone with her boyfriend. My dad cameover to where I was sitting as my mom sat down, he was carring a big brown box. I thought they bought something inbulk for the baskets, but no. They started talking about something, I wasn't really paying them any mind, and told me to pause the movie. After doing that my mother started singing happy birthday and my dad turned the box so I could see what it was. HOLY GORILLAS!! It was a laptop. My parents got me the newest HP laptop!! I am typing on it right now, it is amazing!! My parents told me this was my sixteenth birthday present with interest. Gotta say that is some kind of inerest. I am sooooo happy, but I think i am comming down with something. That kinda sucks, but hey I have about two weeks till PROM and GETTING MY BRACES OFF!! i think I can get over it by then.
