Another metal fest has come and gone...just got back from Maryland Death Fest. My 4th year going, and still the best party around! This year we had a crew of 9 people going, and I feel blessed for each one of them in my life, I could not ask for better friends or better party mates! Got to see Snake, Jeff, and Michelle from the Snakenet sight, keepin' the metal alive. Best bands...Behold...The Arctopus, as well as Grave, Dying Fetus, Anaal Nathrakh. I wish I had seen Impaled, but I was making Red Bull/Vodkas with Becky, Sarah, and Sly at the time. Ah well. A ficus was moved, and shananagans were had by all. I just wish I was a professional festival goer, so I could be at another one right now. :( This is one of the feelings I live for. Until next year!
The REALLY lucky thing is that I have the rest of the weeek off. Going to the country, to feed another part of my soul. Going camping and smelling the clean air.
ATNFAC is breaking up, if you haven't heard. Their last show is June 9th, and you should go. It's like an end of an era, and you should come drink to that.
Arwen's baby, Evan, is the cutest baby I have ever seen. I got to meet him a few weeks ago when I was working at Lilly's. When Goddesses breed, good things happen.
I love the summer. I feel so full of life. |

I should have never posted a blog about the 21 songs I would listen to on an island, because since then I've thought of about 21 more, and it bothers me as if I was *really* going to be condemned to an island and only have 21 songs on me. Who gets deserted on islands these days, anyway?
Well, it's that time of year. The summer ends, and I'm doing nothing with my life, as usual. Bleah. Sorry, but this time of year always sucks. I don't mean to be a negative nancy. But there are some cool things...
Katatonia tomorrow night and then Finntroll the 22nd, then ATNFAC party the 29th. Also, I saw Fiona Apple a couple of weeks ago, and she was awesome. She is one of the few women I would go lesbian for. Her and 21 year old Valerie Bertinelli. But, I digress....Fiona was awesome.
I have a few auditions this week for local singing stuff. Cross your fingers for me. It's tough preparing for these things without a voice teacher. Where is the life which late I lead? Where is it now? Totally dead.
Still wanting to go back to school, but have no time and money. No time because of no money. Wishing I could go back in time and get a "sensible" degree. Thinking science. Horticulture/Floriculture. But what is sensible about that? I'd still be doing the same things.
In further news, I was diagnosed with "Plantar Fachiitis". Snagglemom Kelly was right! That is keeping me from joining a gym. Atleast it's a decent excuse this time! It's when something is wrong with the tendon in your foot. Bleah.
Hmm...what else....Joe & I hooked up the old classic Nintendo. I beat Legends of Zelda and the 2nd quest. Good times!
I do love this weather and the smell in the air. I just miss the feeling of going back to school and being innocent and having dreams and goals and all that jazz. The last time I "went back to school" was six years ago. Holy hell.
I need more music, that's all. I would like to be able to take lessons again.
Wow, I'm moody today.
That's all!
I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU if you're reading this. |

Well, I don't blog much, but here is a mid-yearish update.
I work full time at a small hardware store and teach people how to make their flowers grow and how to make their lawns green. I move potting soil around and get my hands dirty. It lets my country girl breathe in the city, and I like it.
Teaching didn't work out. If I see you in person, I'll tell you why.
I just sang in a concert in Boston, and it was good. I am going to try to take few classes at New England Conservatory. Screw this practical degree stuff, for now.
Me and Joe = almost 2 years.
Maryland Death Fest = NEXT WEEK!
I'm trying to find a gym, because I want to loose 40 lbs.
I am going to a party Saturday night.
I have a lot of plants.
My jalapeno pepper plant has flowered.
I am looking forward to: Falcon Ridge, Kris & Sarah's wedding, going to visit my Grammy, making plans to see friends I dont' see often (Shana, Ducky, Layla, Arwen, Leon, Kristen, etc.), Finntroll in Sept., Testament in July, Leaves' Eyes/Shroud...I don't remember when. And going to see Amanda and MJ!
I hope all of you are well. |

Well, 2007 hasn't been peaches & cream so far. My hopes are still high, however, because 7 is my favorite number, so 2007 has to be good. Even if the Fates have designed things for me that I don't understand currently.
I don't really feel like getting into the things that are making '07 so shitty. Let's just loosly say they have to do with job and money. Isn't that everyones' woe?
Now, for something completley different. I have decided that as long as I still get carded for booze, i'm still considered 21, and I can act like it if I want.
The difference between 21 year old Kelly and 27 year old Kelly is:
21 yr. old Kelly = Bud Lite and Rum
27 yr. old Kelly= Sam Adams Black Lager and Piniot Grigio.
What can you do?
I need a tattoo soon.
Oh, and to Carolyn specifically, I am OK with the Trot trade, after much mourning. His picture is still on the night stand near my bed, and probably always will be. It's not like he went to the YANKEES or something.
Speaking of sports figures I hate, I hope Peyton Manning drowns in a bucket of his own vomit. Did you all notice that he looks like a thumb???
What else? I went to Winter's (Layla and Dan's daughter) 1st birthday party yesterday and had a blast. She is the sweetest baby ever. Definatley has Layla's disposition. You can tell she knows everything about everyone in the room...she takes it all in, and is a goddess already. Got the new Shroud album from Dan, of which I have some vocals on.
Shana & Dave's wedding is coming up in March. Me and Foley practiced this weekend (We're singing in it).
Uh. Um. Uh. I still love my apartment. I wish I could have a pet here, though. Besides Joe. |

Well, Happy New Year, everyone. I remember fragments of my New Year's Eve...but I spent it with a group of people that I love more than anything, people who I would be with every day of my life if I could. You know, like college.
I'm not sure what 2007 will hold, but I hope it's not as trying as 2006. And 7 is my favorite number, so hopefully it will be a pretty good time. I'm looking forward to many good friends' weddings, and MDF, FRFF, and so on, and so forth.
Hmmm...I guess I don't have all that much more to say. I got a lot of good loot for Christmas. It was super duper beautiful to spend time with my family.
Um. Okay. That's all. My life is pretty boring. |

A very Merry one to you and yours! I hope you're having a good holiday...I'm in New Hampshire and all is merry and bright. |

| What type of partier are you? Your Result: Bar Slut You like to keep them drinks flowing till you can't remember much - not that you would want to. Along with your judgement, your inhibitions go 'bye bye' and you end up making out with, and sometimes taking home, random people who sound 'good at the time'. In your drunken haze, you and all your freinds are the sexiest, most swingin, and hottest things on the planet. You've lost many items of clothing in random places. | | Bar Social Butterfly | | | The rock-star party animal | | | The Socialite | | | The Lurker | | | Hardcore drunk | | | The designated driver | | What type of partier are you?

It's way past my bedtime, but, ah well. Tomorrow night is BLIND GUARDIAN and I couldn't be more excited. I can't afford to go, but, I've been looking forward to this show forever.
My Thanksgiving was good. My 11th, (yes, 11th) straight year working at Lilly's for it. But, I wouldn't choose to be anywhere else on Tday. That's not a lie, which might be sad. It was good seeing everyone. I LOVE YOU ARWEN. If you read that. I spent the other part of my time in New Hampshire, with my parents, who I miss these days. My mom loaded me up with all sorts of stuff I still haven't looked at. Mostly plates.
I couldn't possibly be any more poor than I am right now. *sigh* Christmas shopping is going to be tough, probably just shopping for family and Joe. But I have cute gift ideas for other people...so we'll see. I want to apply for a credit card soley for Christmas shopping. Bad idea, huh?
Me and Joe passed the Year and a Half mark, which makes this the longest relationship we've both been in. Serious business, I guess. I just like living with him. I just like him. I got him this video game, Bully, for his birthday. He's been playing it non stop. I like watching it.
Hmmm. Winter Session for my school is over this week, just have to do one make up class next week. Some of the students brought me cute gifts. I was starting to get disheartened about teaching right before Thanksgiving break, but I think I'm over it now.
What else? I'm not sure. It's December now. I'll be 27 this month. Yikes Stripes! |

I ordered My Little Pony checks in the mail, and they're pretty great.
I'm in love with my apartment, and my roommate.
I just sang Bach's Mass in B Minor, Soprano II, and I survived. And, I made it through not so bad!
Sun Rings this weekend.
One of my favorite students is a 10 month old baby named Sam.
The football game is on.
My bed is so comfortable.
I have a new Tea obsession. I drink tea a whole lot these days.
It's the first year in many years I have not done anything on Halloween.
Katatonia was AMAZING.
Me and Becky have been IMing each other pretending we're still in college, and my away message reflects that.
I won't have to work on my birthday this year.
Joe's birthday is coming up.
I'm drinking Harpoon.
I've been eating vegetarian BLT's for almost every lunch.
I'm slacking off writing a lesson plan
And I miss you! |

Well, needless to say, life has been pretty insane. Move #2 of 2006 is still in progress, but getting on the done side. I'm still surrounded by many a box to be unpacked, but, alas, it's getting there. Comcast came in yesterday to plug in phone/internet/cable. Hence the reason I'm on the internet.
Also, my two new jobs are underway. Neither of them have internet, hence the lack of internet slacking. Last week during training I taught two classes all by myself (Families enrolled in the school came in early for a free class to help us). After the first class I taught I cried. A mixture of emotions. Mostly overwhelmed that I love it so much....
More to follow on that. I am 100% in love with my Music teaching job. It's going to be a blast once I get comfortable with it...
I also picked up a part time job at a hardware store, just being a cashier. Very low stress, working with good people, in a richish neighborhood...but the customers are very nice. Once I'm there a bit I'll get benefits, which is good.
I'm drinking Rasberry Chocolate coffee, which is good. I'm in love with my new home, as 1950's as some of the rooms are.....(ie: pink bathroom wallpaper, light blue tiles in the kitchen). I have spent a lot of money on curtains. HA! Is that when you know you've "grown up?"
Also, I'm getting together with Dan at some point to talk music. You know what that means. Do you? Do I? I'm not sure how it's going to go, to be honest with you.
Alright, me and Joe are off to buy an Entertainment Center. That's the one area of the apartment he really needs to be perfect. I would too if I had so many video games. :)
Oh, and my new apt. is still just a walk to the Ocean. So come visit!!! |
