tabitha rose nelson.
you are truly my best friend. i've known you for a great majority of my life, and even though we've drifted a little farther apart since i switched schools, i know we're still in sync. i can tell you anything, and you can do the same. we always somehow find a way to understand. i laugh when you laugh, you cry when i cry. we never let each other fall, and i love you so much because of that. we never fight; never have, never will. we never get bored together. and of course, we sound amazing when we sing together. i'll never forget the talent shows. haha. basically, you're my other half. we have so many crazy memories. i wouldn't even know where to begin. you truly have been there for me through everything, and i'm so glad that you owe your entire life savings to me, because i don't think i could ever find a way to repay you. thank you for standing up for me and not being ashamed to be around me when everything was at its worst. and thank you for never getting sick of my ranting and complaining. and most of all, thank you for being the one and only person in my life that says "we WILL be friends forever"; not "i hope".

wow. 2009 is going to a very good year for us. not only will we celebrate 4 years of making it down this crazy road, but i'll actually be close to you when it happens. going to nku, its going to be amazing. we've spent all this time talking about how nice it would be to be closer to each other....and now its finally going to happen. i'm growing up, haha. it's so weird to think of it like that. i was only 14 when i met you. you were only 16. We've both grown up and changed so much since then. but our friendship has somehow made it through all hell and remained one of the greatest things i have in my life. you already know that you saved my life and helped me to believe in and love myself for who i am, but i don't think you know that you still do that every single day. there's not a day that passes by, even when we "are never going to speak to each other again" where i don't think of you and think about how amazing my life truly is. i've come so far from where i was when we met, and i'm so happy that i've shared every step of that journey with you. you're like the big brother i never had, and i love you so much more than you my ever know. we have so many memories, and those are just the beginning of what is about to come.

i think that sometimes you underestimate just how much i care about you. you weren't the first person i loved, but you were the first person i ever truly saw myself spending the rest of my life with. you've loved me, cared about me, protected me, and downright gave your heart to me. i'm really sorry that we didn't work out in the end, but you're still a huge part of my life and you always will be. you care more about me than anyone i know, and i know i can always come to you about anything and you'll listen. i could have treated you so much better and believe me, i'm going to work on that. i want to give you everything that you've given to me. but i don't think i'll ever deserve all the gratitude and graciousness you've given to me since we met. but you've been the one to prove to me that good guys do exist and that dreams can come true. we've been through a whole lot together, and we'll be going through a lot more. i'm never going to forget you, and i'll never let us drift apart, no matter how far apart we may be. things may not have worked out in a relationship standing, but we'll always be the best of friends, and you know that. besides, we'll be doing the world a favor. nobody wants carson running around. he'll be shot and inspected as a rare species of ugly. we could get arrested!

i've known you longer than almost all of my friends. we kind of drift in and out, since we're living two totally different lives, but we both know that we'll always have each others backs. i want to thank you for all the times you and your family have let me in when i couldn't bear to stay at home. you guys have cared more about me than my own family at times, and i've grown so close to all of you. even your doggies. its a really big comfort to know that i always have a place to go, no matter what. believe me, once we graduate, we're going to save up and take that roadtrip we've always been talking about. we're going to take advantage of our last summer before college and do the things we've always wanted to do. that's a definite promise. i love you a whole lot and i know that we're always going to remain really good friends. we have way too many random and stupid moments together. one day, we may look back on those as a waste of time. but we also may look back one day and think that we haven't changed one bit, haha. i love you bubble. :)
kara marie mitchell.
we haven't really talked or hung out all that much. i definitely regret that we didn't get closer at the beginning of the year. we could have had so much by now. i know this is going to sound ridiculous, but just in the month or so that we've been talking, you've become one of the closest people i have to me at school. you make me laugh all the time, and we had so much fun at perfect north. you were there through all that drama and you were the one to call me and help me through everything when i was feeling like crap about life. i'm so glad we started talking more. i feel like i can open up and talk to you about a lot, which is really weird, because i don't feel that with most people. you're such an amazing and pretty girl, and you don't deserve the crap you have to go through. you deserve so much better than that. and believe me, i'm going to stick around to make sure you get that. i don't want you to get hurt anymore. we're going to become really good friends this year, i know it. and we're going to go learn how to snowboard soon! haha.
kayla ann hodge.
our conversations are some of the most awkward and random moments ever. i don't know how we get talking about 99% of the things we talk about, but i love it. we've definitely been through a lot of the same things and we share the same opinions on a lot of things. you're definitely someone i can talk to about anything, and you don't find it weird like most people would. and i love how cute you and dale are together, haha. you're such a gorgeous girl and i like the friendship we're developing. its definitely going to be fun working together on this play thing. i don't really have much else to say without making us both sound like total creepers or whores. haha. we need to hang out soon!
cody gregory.
aw cody. you're my favoritest person at school. obviously things have been a little weird lately. more so on my behalf, than yours. but there's still so many great things i can say about you. the beginning of this year kind of sucked. i was really afraid that with all the students and friends who left last year, i wasn't going to find anybody that i liked that came there this year. but i was totally wrong. ever since day one in 5th bell, you've had me cracking up and i never seize to be amazed by your guitar skills. i'm really glad we got the chance to work together on songs. we did really good together, and whether you'll admit it or not, it bettered us both as musicians; if not skill wise, confidence wise. i love your hugs and i love that i can be totally weird around you and you laugh at me in a good way. i do like you a lot, and that's obviously not anything new to your ears. i just hope that someday soon we can actually hang out and the plans NOT get ruined. that freakin' sucks. but anyways. i love you and your birthday candle addiction. and i'm really glad that you came to OAA. you've made this year a lot better for me. i can only hope that i've brought something good to your life, as well.

twenty-four days. Yes, those marvelous twenty-four days that i lived before you that i'll forever rub in your face. but in all honesty, how marvelous could they have been? i was in a cast and i didn't have my best friend yet. lameeee. i've known you forever, and that's not a term most friends can use in a literal standpoint. you know things about me that i probably don't even know about myself, and you're pretty much a part of my family, as i am yours. we've kind of always had seperate friends and seperate lives, but we've somehow managed to keep in touch over the years. but i mean, we live across the street from each other...how far could we drift? haha. to this day, i still find it super weird about how much we have in common in our lives. there's so many memories over the years. and there's still a dent in my head from when you killed me. i'm surprised i don't have a phobia of doors, haha. i can't believe we're graduating this year. and we're not going to be living near each other anymore. it's going to be so weird. even when i come home from school, its going to be hours away. i can't believe my parents are moving. senior year is supposed to be so great and you're supposed to be happy about your future, but i'm really sad and scared about what is going to happen to everything i grew up with. i'll miss everything here, and most definitely you.
to all the others.
spinelli. boyd. meadows. rutherford. rogers. sudkamp. hedger. mcdonald. spears. gill. waddilove. simpson 1&2. grant. smith. schlembach. rumpke. lipscomb. stoneceipher. wilson. hibbs. sizelove. all the rest. you all know who you are. i love all you guys so much. my daily life just wouldn't be the same without you. i can't say i'm close enough with any of you to write a whole paragraph about you, but there's no saying that can't or won't change in the future. my friends are literally my strength and survival. so no matter where you are or what you're going through, remember that you always have me on your side.
One way or another, you've somehow made it to my myspace profile.
I suppose I should introduce myself.
Hi, I'm Kelli.
I don't have any nicknames, and I'd prefer that you not try to give me any. P.s. DO NOT call me Kel or give me orange soda cracks. I bite. :)
I'm eighteen years old and so very thankful for it. I'm happy to finally be independent. I am completely open with myself and I don't try to be someone I'm not. It's a waste of time.
I hate being asked the story of what happened to my leg every day, so I'll let you know in advance. I was born with a club foot (which means my foot was deformed in such a way that it was turned inwards). I've had more surgeries than I can count to fix it since I was only three days old. Children's Hospital tried to cure it once and for all, my parents let the doctor do a new procedure he had never done before, and he screwed up. I walked on the ball of my foot for seven years. I then had a surgery in which they fused my ankle down, so I have no ankle motion, and I must wear a brace in order to keep my ankle from moving and messing up again. So when you see me limping a bit, that's what's up. Physical disabilities have absolutely nothing to do with your mental health, and I hate when people assume that. I'm smart, talented, and I can think for myself. It's been a hard struggle, a long process, and a huge disappointment, but it has taught me a lot about life and how you should treat people.
Like any other person, I have dreams, and even though mine are what some would call "unreachable", I'll never give up because they're all I've ever wanted. I attended and graduated early from a performing arts school because that's what I want to do with my life. I've been singing since I could talk and I've never wanted to do anything with my life besides music. I have a lot, but the one thing I don't have is what I strive for most; for my parents to support my dreams. It hurts a lot, and sometimes it makes me not want to do it anymore, but my dreams are too important to give up for anything, and that's just how it is.
Relationships are important to me. I don't believe that a person can have only one true love, and I don't believe that a man must marry a woman and vice versa. Love has nothing to do with gender, and I will argue that point more than any other person you'll ever meet.
P.s. Tabby, Michael, Matthew, Celia. You're all my true loves. :)
People often ask me if I'm atheist. I am most definitely not. I believe in, love, and praise God with all of my heart and I believe that he will take me to a better place when my time is up here on Earth. It really offends me when people associate the way I dress with my religion.
I sing my insecurities out through songs whose lyrics describe how I feel or through literature of my own. I'm afraid to let people in, so I let myself out.
I used to work at Jungle Jims as a cashier, but I just recently was offered a job as Stage Manager for the new kid's show, "Marty's Party", at Kings Island. So, sadly, I had to leave JJ's. But I love my current job. I'm getting paid to do what I really love to do. The days fly by, and I never get sick of it. Unfortunately though, I'll be working 6 days a week. My schedule is limited.
My parents were barely around when I was little, so my sister raised me, and at one point, saved my life. I look up to her a lot. She's also married and I have the cutest two-year-old nephew in the world, Dylan.
I'm kind, I try to avoid swear words, and I refuse to call any human an enemy. Peace Police. :)
I'm random. I can't stay on one topic for long. I usually forget to think before I talk. You want to know the random side of me?
I can drink apple juice forever and never get sick of it. I'm spoiled. My parents give me what I want to get me out of their face. My bedroom door is always shut and locked. Always. I'm paranoid. I'm uneasily amused and easily annoyed, don't get them mixed up. The fourth of every month is pretty much worshiped in my life. Long story. My cell phone is pretty much attached to my hand. Texting gives me courage. Country music basically disguists me since I've lived in a hicktown all my life. I'm such a city girl. I'm a HUGE American Idol fan and I never ever miss an episode. I vote all ten times every week. I've even auditioned once. And I met David Cook. He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. :) I hate being called emo. Actually, I hate being stereotyped period. I'm me. I don't fit into a category. I have a strange obsession with ducks and I have no choice but to love you forever if you give me one. I have a pug puppy named Napoleon. He's a pain in the butt, but he's cute and I love him. A lot. I always give everything and everybody a chance. And in most situations, a second chance as well. I stay up way too late writing in my journal, and I have a serious problem with crying myself to sleep. I hate making decisions and the ones I do make are usually wrong in some way.
There's so many things I can say about myself, but you'll still never understand me. Nobody ever will. I'm that type of girl with multi-personalities, and I show all of them off to every person I know at some point in time. Give me a chance and I'll give you change.
Wanna know the easiest way to my heart? Accept me for who I am, don't tell me that what I decide to do is wrong, and support my ambitions. I don't need a psychiatrist, I need friends. Remember that.
And the most important thing of all, remember my name;
I'm gonna make it someday, somehow.
