Right now, things seem like they need to start going in a better direction but they refuse to. I want life to feel totally copacetic. (That's my favorite work by the way) So if anyone can help me get to the point where i feel totally copacetic, that would be great. Honestly, there is only one person that can get me to that point completely, but i can get most of the way there without them. But in the mean time, here are some quotes, sayings, jokes, or words that make me happy, smile, or giggle.
- Game, set, match = TENNIS
Set, match, run = ARSON
*Demetri Martin*
- L.A.R.P stands for Live Action Role Playing. It also means not good at sports.
*TOSH.0*
- Nakatinra
*Matt Lusty*
- Just watching the world, I don't understand. It just makes more sense with my hand in your hand.
- You don't have to win anybodies heart. You just have to ask for it.
- Some feelings in this world are more than words. They're a moment to look forward to.
*Connor Giles*
- I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
- Life is sexually transmitted
- You're a jerk. But a jerk is a pull. A pull is a tug. A tug is a boat. A boat floats on water. Water is nature. And nature is beautiful. (I think this one was an indirect compliment to me, but im still not sure how i should take it or if i should take it seriously haha)
- What do you get when you cross a potato with Hitler?
A Dick-tater.
*Dallin Gomez*
- Love is a leap. Lamentably, I was never inspired to jump.
*Kate & Leopold*
- Even in the darkness can every color be found.
*Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog*
- Dare to be remarkable.
- There is more to life than increasing it's speed.
- Music impresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
*Victor Hugo*
- If you love something, then set it free. If it comes back, then it's meant to be. If it continues to fly, let it soar. Have faith that God has something better in store.
- Dinomania = the sudden urge to dance

Remember when...2010
I am now graduated. What the heck?! When did I get so old? I still feel like such a little kid. I remember looking at all the seniors when i was younger thinking "Wow, I can't wait to be like them. They are so freaking cool!" But I look at myself now and don't see myself like the kids I used to look up to. And I'm kinda scared now that I don't have school in my life. What am I going to do with my life? And how am I going to do it? I finally have to grow up...but what if I don't want to?
Graduation was long and boring. No one even pulled a prank to keep us entertained. Come on people!! That dumb hat wouldn't stay on my head. Who ever decided that putting a plate on the top of your head was a good idea, is a moron. Walking up and getting my name called was interesting. There's usually three kinds of people at graduation. There are the kids who when their name gets called you hear a few claps and woo hoos, mostly from parents. Then there is the kids who when their name is called you get a little louder with the claps and a few kids yell their name out. Then there are the kids, who when their names are called, everyone claps and cheers and people scream their names. When they called my name, there were a lot of people who screamed and clapped for me and it was a lot louder than I expected. The one voice that i heard the most was of course Shaun's. I'm standing on the big green X and i hear "WOOOOO KYLEE KATE!!! GO KYLEE KATE!!! I LOVE YOU KYLEE!!" Right away i knew it was Shaun cuz, honestly, no one else is capable of being that loud. Every one laughed and i turned my usual bright red and i gave an awkward wave and walked across the stage to shake the peoples hands. As i was walking down the ramp to go back to my seat, there was Shaun. Sitting right in the front row. I shook my head at him and he yelled "WHAT UP KYLEE KATE! WHAT UP GIRL!! YEAAAAAAH!" everyone laughed and i turned even more bright red. Leave it up to Shaun. We've been friends since atleast 5th grade and he's always thought doing that to me was funny. Cuz let's face it, I'm not one who likes a ton of attention. Thank you Shaun. I know there is a reason you're my best friend...sometimes i just can't remember why haha :)
The school had the big senior graduation party that night. Started at 10:30 pm and went until 5:30 am. The party was a lot better than i thought it would be. I found out i suck at sumo suit 'swrestling. As soon as Lexie hit me with her stomach, i would just fall straight back like a retarded tree. The bungee racing was hilarious and i got some sweet rug burns from it. Soooooo much food and so little room to put it. I think that hands down, the best part of the night was the hypnotist. He had about 40 or so people in front of us. The funniest people to watch were Wyatt, Tyler and Ryan. This show went on for a really long time and no one wanted it to end. At one point, the hypnotist (Tracy) had Ryan convinced that he wanted to change his name to Shaniqua. He then had him call his mom at 4:00 am and tell her that he was changing her name. Every time he said 'Shaniqua' Ryan would give him a big smile and a thumbs up. When Ryan talked, he didn't sound at all like himself. But the best part of the night was when He had Wyatt and Ryan dance together. I don't know if i have laughed that hard before. Then they finally made him end the show so they could do the raffle. Boring. But I did win a $25 card to american eagle.

That's the video of them dancing. So ridiculous!
It's now summer and I wish some things were different. I wish i had a job. I wish Dallin and I would start talking more. Or atleast see each other more than once every two months... And i wish i had done more in high school. But i'm still mostly happy. Just bored and only kinda sad. But it will hopefully get better, right?
No more softball this summer. So all my days are pretty much free. I don't know what i'm going to do with myself. I thought i would be playing softball, but now i wont be. I also thought i would be hanging out with Dallin a lot. But i dont see that happening much. Maybe i just need to get a job and work all the time to keep things off my mind. Plus i will have money. I guess that is always a bonus.

I've Got A Sick Obsession. I'm Seeing It In My Dreams!
I've realized latley that I may have a slight problem. I'm addicted to a few things. Not bad things, so don't worry. But there is a handful of things that I just can't get enough of!
I can't get enough of singing while playing my guitar or piano. And just singing in general. First of all, i just love the feeling of singing. It feels like when i sing i can just let all my frustration out. Especially when i sing as loud as i can when i'm driving in my car. It makes me feel so...alive! It feels even better when i can sing to music that i'm making.When i can play my guitar without thinking about it, and just feel my fingers going crazy all over the strings...I can't even explain it. It's one of the best feelings in the world. With piano also.
Pineapple. I don't even think i need to explain any further. It's the most amazing fruit ever grown. I ate three of them last week. Not three bowls, or plates, or cans. Three whole pineapples. My mouth is freaking out right now just thinking about it.
The boy. I don't need to explain this one. If you're my friend, you know what i'm talking about.
Seminary. Why can't every class i have be seminary? The people in my class rock. It's ridiculous. Brother Kelly is hilarious and he gives the most amazing lessons. We had our end of the year testimony meeting. First, before we had the actual testimony meeting, we played the game signs. This just proved to me even more of how awesome my class is. Everyone likes each other, everyone is hilarious, and everyone is included. The testimony meeting wasn't the most spiritual one i've been apart of, but it really made me think. It made me think about how lucky i am to have the chance to take seminary and how much i'm really going to miss it. I've always gone to seminary thinking "This is cool. Everyone here is also LDS and believes the same things i do" but i never really let that hit me. when every one was talking about how strongly they believed that the church was true, it hit me that i really wasn't alone. I've always known that i'm not alone, but i never thought about how all these people really do think the same way i do. Everything that was said, was what i was thinking. It was awesome.
Softball. The love of my life. I can never get enough. Before i get to softball, i never wanna do it. Let's face it, i'm the laziest person on the earth. I procrastinate everything. Homework, chores, working out...I suck pretty much. But once i get playing the game, i don't want to stop. I wish the games were longer and that there was more of them. this is the reason that i'm trying out for the summer league. So hopefully i can get my lazy butt into gear and kill at softball!
Movies. I love movies. I love watching movies, and i love making movies. Watching movies is probably my favorite though. Like i said, i'm lazy. Whats better than sitting on your butt and watching someting entertaining? You can just chill, relax, and get comfortable. and watching the movie with people is even better. you get hilarious commentary and you're not the only one laughing so you don't feel like an idiot laughing in an empty room. But i have to say, scary movies are the best kind.
Those are the main things that are on my mind for the most part. sometimes, they're all i can think about! I love it. but i have a hard time focusing on school...could be a problem. Oh well!
** No updates for the bucket list. Still the same cute little list as last time.

Change Your Mind...Let Go Too Soon
I really need to learn to speak up sometimes. But I'm not the kind of person that confronts people about things. I want to...but i feel like it's easier to just sit back and let it run it's course. The problem with this is that I end up getting hurt and not getting what I really need. Right now, I'm stuck in a situation where i really need to speak my mind and let someone know what is going on inside my head. But I'm not sure how to say what I need to. Actually...That's a lie. I know exactly what I need to say. I'm just too scared to say it. And if you think about it logically, it's really not that difficult. I play situations over in my head and think about what to say and how to say it. I'm not sure if that's normal..but then again, when have I ever been normal? I think the part I am scared of the most is not what i say, but what the other person will say. I can't plan that part out. But i have never been the kind of person to say how i feel. I don't let people know how i feel. And because of that, people think of me as this emotional rock. I can't be hurt or offended. And that is partly true. I'm not easily offended or hurt, but I'm more sensitive than i let people know. Just because i don't cry in front of people doesn't mean i don't cry at all. And i only let people i trust see me cry. The last person i cried in front of was the person that I need to say something to. Usually, i just stand there and pretend like nothing is bothering me and don't speak at all. I have had way to many chances to tell this person what is going on with my feelings and what I'm thinking about, but I pass it up every time because i think that if i say what i need to say, they will feel bad when they shouldn't. I'm also torn because i don't know what i should do. All of my friends are telling me "Drop them. They're a tool. They're lying. Making up excuses. They don't care about you at all any more." I really don't believe any of that but sometimes it kills me because part of me wants to beleive it. It would give me a reason for the way they are acting. I can't think straight about this. I worry about it constantly because right now, the only thing i want is a clear straight forward explaination. The first thing I need to say to them is:
-I miss you. I miss you probably more than I should. If it was up to me, I would see you every day. But right now, it feels like you don't want to see me at all. Even though you said you do want to. I make the effort, but end up being disappointed. I miss talking to you about the most random and pointless things but still just being happy because I'm talking to you. Again, it feels like you don't want to talk to me. We went from talking almost every day to talking maybe once a week. All that changed in less than a month. Why? There used to be time for me in your life. I feel like i'm just fading away...
-I like you. A lot. Okay? I know we never said that out loud and just assumed it, but it feels a lot better to just say it. I ended up liking you a lot more than i planned. And took time for me to like you. Over time i started falling. Every little thing you said or did just pulled me further, I didn't mind. And it felt like every day you found a new way to amaze me. I couldn't believe how incredibly good you were. I still can't. I know you're not perfect, but you're the perfect you. And it's all about seeing an imperfect person perfectly. And i think I'm to that point. And I don't think i have ever met someone who has seemed so perfect for me. It's kind of ridiculous actually. I was totally comfortable with you. I could talk with you about anything. Everything was so easy, and now it's gotten really difficult.
-I'm just so confused. You say things that throw my mind for a loop now. Every time we talk it's something new. But i do my best to understand because i know that what you're doing is what you think is right. And i'm not saying it's wrong, I just wish i knew everything that was going on in your head. I've always been really good at reading people. But with you...I can't see anything! It's kind of frustrating. I hate having everyone come to me with their problems and being able to fix them but when it comes to my own problems, i'm at a total loss. I want a straight forward honest explaination. I want you to prove all of my friends wrong. But then again, if i do get my explaination, maybe you will just prove them right and prove me to be an idiot who fell when she shouldn't have. Who trusted when she shouldn't have. Who let her guard down, for the first time in almost two years, when she should have been smarter.
I know i probably need to say these things, but I know I probably won't. Ever. I'm just not like that. I don't want to get in the way. If, for some reason, this person i'm talking about is reading this, i'm sure you know who you are. But it's not very likely they will ever see this post so in a way i guess i don't need to worry. Everything is easier for me to say when i write it down. I don't know what to do. My head hurts. My heart hurts. It skips a beat every time i see your name on my phone or hear someone even mention you. This isn't like me at all. I have liked people before, but nothing like this. I don't get twitterpatted and I don't like sitting and thinking about all the times i have spent with someone. I don't like having my mind so full that it feels like it's going to explode. I don't like over anylyzing everything you do or say. I didn't at first. But now i can't help it. Even though i never do any of that... all of a sudden, I am. I love thinking about all the times we have just hung out and laughed and talked. It makes me happy, but at the same time it just makes my heart ache. It's kind of scaring me. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm in totally new territory here. I have no map. So i just have to sit here and hope someone walks by and offers to help me...

It's official. The "bucket lists" are being made!
Summer defined by the dictionary : the period of finest development, perfection, or beauty previous to any decline
Every summer, Lindsley and I write our SUMMER BUCKET lists. It's basically a list of the things that we want to get done before our summer "kicks the bucket". But every summer, we write a few things down, get only a few of them done, and then forget about the whole thing until we find our lists around the time that school starts. It's always disappointing. This is the summer after senior year. The summer before college. This is OUR summer. So, our goal is to have the lists written before school ends and then all through the summer, we will be helping each other check things off! Keep in mind, this list has no profound meaning. Some of these things...okay A LOT of these things are just plain silly and will most likely not happen. But that's the fun. It may be ridiculous, but its something to work for, laugh at, and smile about.
So far, this is what my Summer Bucket List looks like:
-Soap up the three fountains
-Go on a date to Lagoon (always though that would be the best date)
-Get a kiss in the rain (not just any random kiss. a meaningful one)
-Go skydiving
-Visit (bodacious!) Brad in Arizona
-Read the Book of Mormon all the way through again
-Walk on the beach in the moonlight
-Have a paint my house party
-Work and save up my money
-Be nicer to my sisters and brother
-Appreciate my parents more
-Play for All Stars
-Go on a date to temple square
-Make a few awesome music videos
-Learn to do some legit tricks on the trampoline like Joseph and his brother

This is the summer after senior year. The summer before college. This is OUR summer. So, our goal is to have the lists written before school ends and then all through the summer, we will be helping each other check things off! Keep in mind, this list has no profound meaning. Some of these things...okay A LOT of these things are just plain silly and will most likely not happen. But that's the fun. It may be ridiculous, but its something to work for, laugh at, and smile about.
So far, this is what my Summer Bucket List looks like:
-Soap up the three fountains
-Go on a date to Lagoon (always though that would be the best date)
-Get a kiss in the rain (not just any random kiss. a meaningful one)
-Go skydiving
-Visit (bodacious!) Brad in Arizona
-Read the Book of Mormon all the way through again
-Walk on the beach in the moonlight
-Have a paint my house party
-Work and save up my money
-Be nicer to my sisters and brother
-Appreciate my parents more
-Play for All Stars
-Go on a date to temple square
-Make a few awesome music videos
-Learn to do some legit tricks on the trampoline like Joseph and his brother

How You Doin'?
I was sitting with my friend the other night and we started listing all of our favorite pickup lines. Later, I found a group on facebook called "I love Mormon pickup lines". Here are some of our favorite from the group and from the list we made our selves.
The ones with the ** are my FAVORITE ones and made me laugh so hard i cried.
Do you know what it's like to hold the priesthood?...Do you want to? (hug) **
You remind me of the fruit in Lehi's dream. Most precious above all!
Haven't we met before...like in the pre-existence?
You don't sweat much for a Utah girl. **
So, what are you doing for the rest of eternity?
Dearest Darling...after much deliberation, and significant consideration, I have half the inclination to make you my relation. So if you'll meet me at the station, with the bishop's cooperation, we will form a combination that will increase the population.
Last night I was looking at the stars, and for every one I saw I thought of something that I love about you... but soon I ran out of stars.
If you were words on a page, you would be what they call FINE PRINT!
I knew i'd feel the spirit at EFY, but i didn't think i'd see an angel!
Can I see your tag? Oh, I thought so...made in heaven **
Were you eating lucky charms this morning? cause you look magically delicious
Do you have a boyfriend?
Oh, you do? Well, when you want a MANfriend, come talk to me!
So did you hear about Pluto? Yeah, thats messed up.. -- Pysch **
Hey i lost my teddy bear can i cuddle with you instead?
I think i've seen your picture before. oh that's right, it was in the the dictionary next to KABLAM! --Fresh Princh of Bel-Aire **
What's ur favorite temple? I'm lookin' at mine
--My all time favorite...
IS YOUR NAME VIRTUE? BECAUSE YOU GARNISH MY THOUGHTS UNCEASINGLY! *** :P

Perfectly at Home
Last week was one of the toughest weeks that i have had in a very long time. On Monday, April 12, My sister's best friend Kaitlyn passed away after a long fight with cancer. Kaitlyn and my sister McKenzie have been friends since 7th grade. Over the past couple of years, she has become like a sister to me. Her, McKenzie and Z were always together and spent a lot of time at my house so i got to know her very well. She told me all about her cancer and how she planned to just live her life the best she could. She loved to dance, and cheer, and just be a dorky teenage girl. But she had a taste for life that i found amazing. No matter what life threw at her, she caught it and threw it right back. She could handle anything. Some of the stories she told me would make me so angry and make me cry, and she would always tell me that it was okay and that it didn't matter. What made me the most angry would be when the boys at her school would make fun of her for the way she talked. She had her tongue removed because of the cancer and part of her stomach was taken and put in place of her tongue. But she still had a bit of a slurr sound when she talked. She was one of the funniest and strongest girls i've ever met. During the week, when we weren't crying, we would sit and tell all of the funny stories we had about her. Here are a few...
She had to take Ambien in order to fall asleep at night. Im not sure why but she would go crazy on this drug. She was loopy out of her mind and it was very entertaining. One night, her, Kenzie and Z were having a sleep over. Kaitlyn decided to call me at 2 in the morning while on Ambien. She felt like everything was moving and that she was on a boat. I answered the phone and heard her say "KYLEE!! Guess what? I'm on a boat. Yeah. I'm on a boat!!!" and then she hung up. I was totally confused but almost died from laughing.
Another night when her and Kenzie were having a sleep over, she decided to see how her Ambien would effect Kenzie. So she cut one of her pills in half and dropped it in a can of coke. Then she added s little benadryl to finish it off. She gave the coke to Kenzie and very soon Kenzie was out cold. So of course, Kaitlyn drew all over her face and took pictures. yes, Kaitlyn drugged my sister for entertainment haha.
One of the last time i hung out with Kate was a few months ago. She called me up because she needed a ride to go and buy a new ipod. I picked her and my sister up and we drove to walmart. But we ended up driving to four different stores because non of the stores had a PURPLE ipod. Every time one of the worker told her that
they were out of purple nano ipods, she'd sigh and say "Well, on to the next destination!" Finally, an hour and a half later, we found one at best buy.
Two weeks before she passed away, she was in New York City for a drill competition. She ended up having a seizure while in her hotel room and ended up in the hospital. A few hours later my sister got a hold of her mom who was at the hospital with her. Kaitlyn's mom was telling my sister about how they tried to give her an MRI but she wouldn't sit still so they had to cancel the test. While she was telling the story, you could hear Kate yelling in the background "I was sitting still! The nurse was being a jerk! Shut up mom! Stop telling them lies! i was being a good little patient!"
While she was in New York, she was able to perform her solo dance to the song "Hey Soul Sister" by Train. She got a standing ovation.
The last thing i ever said to Kaitlyn was over facebook.com. She was having a really bad day and just asked for everyone to tell her that everything would be okay because she knew that if everyone could keep a positive attitude, she could too. I told her how amazing i thought she was and that everything would be okay. I also told her that she knows im always here for her and she can call me anytime she ever needed anything. The last thing she said to me was "Thank you. I love you! Always!" That was the day before she was rushed to the hospital. And four days before she passed away.
I'm writing a song right now. I've never written anything for the guitar before, so i'm going to do it for her. "She's perfectly at home. She's dancing among the clouds. She is looking down at all our faces, she is our guardian angel now..."
