p.s. the moon is gorgeous tonight.

all i wanted to do tonight was keep driving..

ive had some time to think about it

and watch the sun sink like a stone

ive had some time to think about you

on the long ride home.

Mexico was incredible. i had such a great time. it was so nice to see what its like outside the good ole usa...i know mexico isnt too far -but it was still so different. The people there are so open and happy. Those children have the most sincere and happy looks on their faces..they have absolutely nothing..but they are so much more grateful and content..

it was also really beautiful..and the weather was great..i took a bunch of pictures of the people and the land..the trees are different there...they kind of wind up and spread out then up..anyways..you get the picture..me standing there looking at the mountains ..remembering how great and beautiful my God is.

well..im in art class so i should probably do something right?

love you-kels

would you please pray for me?..im going through some stuff right now...and im stressed about school...and to ice the cake, im leaving the country in about 4 days.. and i have no time!

love-kels

praise God for answered prayers..!

I MADE GOVERNORS SCHOOL.


AHHH.

im going to the 2006 Governors School For the Arts...:-) :-) :-)
-kels

have you noticed this weather?

...i start the car, turn on some good music, pull out, and there begins such a beautiful time alone.. sunday was the most beautiful day. i couldnt help but not go home. i drove and drove for about an hour until i couldnt  possibly waste any more gas....i went by the place where i grew up and watched my sister and me dance around the trees that are so much bigger now.. i looked at the yard where id lay and pick dandelions and the porch where me and my dad would watch the storms roll in..

dont you love those good memories?...

then to top it all off on monday it stormed. i havent seen a good storm in a while and it was even more fun to grocery shop in...

 ive come to the conclusion that it is so evident when a person knows what theyre living for and why they are breathing. its so nice to see people like that..it made me think of a quote.. "i saw a man in an elevator today that knew exactly what he wanted, and i wished that i could be half as lucky as he, .. a hour and half later me and brinkley moved out.." (- youve got mail)..

ive been working on that lately, just showing the world around me that i know why im here and how great that is, but also that im very uncertain about where im going and what all the things to come have in store for me..so..i guess all that to say..its okay to not know whats next but its so crucial to know why youre doing the things that youre doing, and why you are here.

but anyways. there i go rambling. love you -kels

(The train leaves
At half past ten,
But it'll be back tomorrow,
Same time again.
The conductor he's weary,
He's still stuck on the line.
But if I can save you any time,
Come on, give it to me,
I'll keep it with mine.)

formal was so fun this year, me and josh had a really good time..through the games of battleship with emmy, thousands of pictures, milanos, the presentation...more pictures.., waffle house, and ferris b's day off we all had a really good time.. ill upload some pics for you to see.. -kels

oh yes, i almost forgot...i am going to Mexico this spring break...its  going to be so great..i know that God will do great things..

hey my best buddy! this is rach! i love you and miss you in chem! i'm mad...grrrrr....cause you're not here! --Rach

dear kelsey, 

where are you today? spanish just wont be the same without you.

your friend, meghan

good day to be absent, i needed a ride today! oy  

love will

gatlinburg was fun..

i actually hid in the back of our van with a sleeping bag on top of me for about 35 minutes so i could jump out and surprise keaton when she finally realized we weren't on our way home..
last night i went out in the 20 degree weather and hopped in the hot tub..it was so so so beautiful. Snow all around and the trees.. and that perfect blue color that the moon makes on the snow..

we walked around..got some taffy and saw the aquarium too.

good news...i finally found a dress for formal...ill post pictures later...
so how bout a little bob dylan?



Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears.
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand,
I got all the love, honey baby,
You can stand.

I been meek
And hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke.
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear,
If you want me, honey baby,
I'll be here.

that wasnt me in that last post..it was my amazing and extremely sweet friends that know my password..ha.

hello everyone, my name is kelsey shearron, and i'm so cool. In fact i'm too cool to go to school because i went to a concert last night!

And I love my friend Tara Davis, shes cool too because shes black.

...josh pipes just said spawn...who says spawn?

You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows. Don't follow leaders watch the parkin' meters.

why do words hold so much value?...they mean so much..just as art, a look, a simple move, or a note on the piano stirs your soul..words can change everything..

so.. say words...the words that may mean nothing to you but everything to someone else.

-kels

went a little crazy today...but it was fun...

woke up around 6 30 and thought to myself...why would i go to school today?...realizing that i didnt have an answer to this question i went back to sleep..

im auditioning for governors school this coming saturday...im so excited/nervous...art art art is all i think about.. love-kels

ten cool pts  if you know who it is..:-)

love-kels

it was a really good day..

Well there's a dreamer in my dreams,
Swing from the beams,
With a light shining off the snow.
Well there's a singer in my heart,
Burning up the charts,
With songs about things we all know.

phusebox!..its back!

ive had one heck of a couple of days! Me and Em got hired to de-wallpaper her house ..it turned out to be a HUGE job. we started at noon and didnt finish until 10:13..crazzyy...but then today her dad took us to see the ice sculptures in Nashville and we blew every bit of our money in opry mills!..it was great...now we're having movie night...groundhog day and zoolander!

love kels

smoke.

If I could I would be smoke
And I’d float myself out of here
And I’d go wherever you are
And I’d never have to be too far from here
And I’d linger in your fingers
A transparent shade of gray
And watch as you watch me
Slowly fade away
Into the night
Where are you when I need you by my side

Shouldn’t it be that easy
To just be happy for awhile
Get lost in a moment
Wasting time trading smiles
Shouldn’t it be that easy
To just be happy for awhile
Come on won’t you waste my time
Baby waste my time
Won’t you waste all my time

well. another monday has come and is going..i actually had a pretty decent muanday:

i found my wallet!...thank the Lord! ..im a happy girl now that im not driving illegally...ha.

i want to just say real fast a few things about the people that im CRAZY about:

Donna Shearron. my mom. not yours! ha. sometimes i think all of her students from siegel are going to come home with us, but at the end of the day shes mine all mine. i love her so much. i hope that someday i will be just like her..a strong beautiful woman that lives for so much everyday of her life.

Johnny, or as i say- daddy..well what can i say about my dad..just like me and my mom we dont always see eye to eye..but good grief i could never ask for more. my dad is such a good dad. hes always been such an example of a man that loves God and our family.

Keato..frito.. burrito.. mosquito?..ha..she'll kill me for writing that..but yea. shes.. my sister! weve grown up side by side..from barbies to playing in the rain ..nobody beats my sis.

Em. wow. what do i say about miss. emily joy windham? shes more than i could ever have hoped for in a best friend. she never ceases to make me laugh..or to say exactly the right thing.. shes my accountablity partner and the real thing when it comes to an awesome girl that is going to do amazing things with her life.. the guy that gets her is so lucky

lauren nicdao: ..well we are both pretty busy, and we both have our own things going on. but gah lee we are the same person..i love that girl so so much- she doesnt even know.

rachel summar: .. this girl gets me through school. and helps me stay sane in oakland high school.

will veale: ..makes school fun and helps me make it through school too.

josh pipes: such an awesome guy- funny, fun, easy to talk to, caring... and of course he doesnt even see it ..he always has been there for me.

so ..yea, i just felt like those awesome people deserved some credit from someone that loves them all very very much.

im reallly ready. actually ready is an understatement. im extremelllly ready for christmas break..i know i know. its tuesday, but still. ive got a severe case of christmas fever..

so school...
not too enjoyable these days.chemistry has been interesting these last couple of days..a light blew up and smoked up the room then someone opened up the door and the wind just about blew mrs.daniels desk away..it was great...we also have discovered that me, will, rach, and tara are the only way we will pass, considering she never teaches..

i bought a big piece of bread at school today..it was much better than the usual brownie.

i am officially the secretary of the National Arts Honors Society....heh.(which means i do nothing)

So, other than school...

im going to see Jason Maraz Dec 9th....em got me a ticket for christmas! im excited...!!

AND. i get to see SIGUR ROS feb 14..with josh!..so excited , like, i want it to be february now. you just dont even know.

(Thanksgiving was good..went by really fast.. westerns with grandpa and food made it worthwhile.)



hm. that it?
i guess so..
love-kels

remember since its thanksgiving ...give some thanks..:-) lol

so i was just sitting here thinking about the fact that i have nothing to write about..but then it hit me that i might.

life has been really good these past couple days..

ive spent a lot of time with JP..hah.. and we've had fun watching movies and pavement videos.. spray butter..



my sweet little Dbs sisters are finally in and done with the whole pledge thing...

i have soo much dark chocolate from emily.:-)

i have soo much new music that its insane..
AND

i got proposed to (fo real) today.. not joking at all!
ha

it was ridiculous!!!...it made me almost ashamed of being in DBS...those poor girls!...there were some funny parts ..like watching my best friend pretend to be a squirell and quote office space..

ha

anyway im so happy that its the weekend ...im supposed to be in art class right now buuut, im not.
