hey guys,

this is really hard for me to write about so I'm sort of just going to say what needs to be said and it might not be too organized but i don't really care. Pat, a friend from school, called me today and told me that two of my friends, two people that I sing with, got into a car accident last night...my friends Sean Doyle and Lauren Miller. Sean is okay, he was driving. He was released from the hospital this morning...However, Lauren didn't make it though...she died in the accident, and we think right away. She was a sophomore Music Ed major, a Chamber singer, and an amazing person. She was one of those people that just lit up a room when she came in, everyone liked her, you know...we weren't really that close but close enough that I'm really upset and everything. I found out today at 1, and drove down to Fredonia to be with Pat. He's been pretty much telling everyone and he's being really strong...I'm proud of him. Everyone else is home for the weekend, so I won't be able to see anyone else until we get to Binghamton.


The wake is Tuesday at 4 and the funeral is Wednesday at 10, both in Binghamton. We'll probably be leaving Fredonia Tuesday morning, staying at a hotel, and coming back Wednesday sometime.

This is so unreal, I've never had someone so close to me die and it was so sudden and out of nowhere. I'm just sort of numb right now. Anyway I just wanted to tell you guys. I love you all so much...I wish I could have seen more people on fall
break and everything.

OK talk to you soon.

love, MK

actually it's 2:30, but close enough. I haven't been up this late in awhile...and I have class at 9. yeeaahhhh....good times. I was hoping this would make me fall asleep. I will be home this weekend and I can't wait =0) Not that it is a huge break, but it's nice. even though I'll be doing work for like all of Monday and Tuesday, haha. I have to go make up an accompaniment to a song I'm gonna be singing with the third graders on Wednesday. Hooray for playing by ear. Wow could I get more boring? ...Mike finally sent me the website files in the correct format so hopefully in less than a month it will be up on the web. Ok probably before that. I think Mike and I are going to get an apartment in the spring of 2005...at least that's what I'm hoping for. How much fun would that be?! Our house would be completely decorated in SBTB posters and we would constantly have the Dawson's Creek theme playing in the background. It would be such a party spot! =D I'm so in love with Jimmy Eat World. They have a DVD coming out this month, HOOOORAY! Oh everyone shed a little tear for the two fishies my roomie and I have lost in the past week. awwww.................................................................. Well I don't know how to make paragraphs so that's my big pause. good luck to Brian, Brad and Sean tomorrow in the ETHOS concert....and good night y'all.

there is nothing to say, so I am going to recommend some music....well just list some of my favorite bands and stuff, just because it makes me feel good and hopefully you will listen...

i'm currently into jazz, thanks to chris. i have like 8975356 new cds. harry connick jr. and diana krall are at the top of my list, but i'm trying to leave some space for the instrumental too. it's such great music. and as far as other genres, i am always in love with dashboard. and jimmy eat world. i branch out with other bands but they are still at the top. youuuuuuuu're the top. and of course "go tell aunt rhody" outkast style is a classic. and the moose song is always a favorite. if you don't know that song, ask me and i'll sing it for you. it's a new favorite of the junior class of mason.

nothing else to say. fall break is coming. yay kenmore! i'm glad i actually thought of an idea for these third graders next week...watch my teacher go and tell me it completely sucks. ok good night. go listen to some recording of "the look of love". what a great song that is =0)

I'M HOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight Beast, Mike, Jill and I went to a movie and then to Coffee &, even though I hated it this summer because we were there every day. Luckily Jill and Mike kept up that tradition. We saw 'Thirteen' and I thought it was very good. I recommend. We also saw Fancy Pants outside the theater but that's just another story. Tomorrow Mike and I are going to the greatest place on Earth! (besides London) The mmmmmaaaaaall! mmmmm orange chicken. mmmm 80's decor. =0) And then tomorrow it's back to Freddy for a little Chamber Singers partying and Chris birthdaying. Shaping up to be quite a weekend folks. And I get to top it off with a Bills VICTORY and planning a rhythm lesson for 3rd graders. Does it get sweeeeter? Happy Birthday to my fabulous roomie, the big 21. ahhhhh...it's nice to be home. yes I know I live an hour away, but it's still nice to be back. VIX IS CLOSING!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLOOOO!! what is this world coming to. ok time for bed because we are getting an early start at the mall. goodnight :)

again I ask, am I a loser? I've been updating this daily. I would be working on the site now but Mike's documents won't open. darn MACS! I get to come home tomorrow =0) EASTERN HILLS MALLLLL!! and then it's back to freddy again on Saturday to go to a party. My life is so full of lovely things. It's also full of potential lesson plans that I should be working on and have not been inspired to yet. I get to teach a song tomorrow in conducting. ooh I made an amazing mix cd the other day...we're talking like really a mix, including Harry Connick jr, Weezer, the Beatles and Goldfinger. Uhhhh ok nothing else to say. I should go pay the phone bill I've been forgetting about for like two weeks. Makeoutclub.com is stupid. good night!
