My 21st Birthday Has Come and Gone.. Being That My 21st Birthday Was On A Monday.. and I was Sick the Day was Not Eventful.. However, I got Plenty of Birthday Wishes and Even Flowers Sent to me!!! Brandon also, got me a Opal Claddagh Ring. Which Has A LOT of meaning to me. The Claddagh Ring is a Traditional Irish Wedding Ring but now used to symbolizes other things as well. The Hands Symbolize Friendship, The Heart Love and The crown Loyalty. What Makes this ring so special besides its literal meaning is the fact that I have Irish roots and that the heart is an Opal which is my Birthstone. (PS sorry I randomly capitalize letters.. it's a thing I do).. When I was Feeling better, B and I went to dinner at Mo's which is a restaurant here in Toluca Lake. Normally I am known to drink like a fish.. but I guess.. abstaining from drinking for 10 months and the fact that I know weigh 100 pounds instead of 132 has changed me tolerance cause after my 1st drink of the night I was already tipsy.. The night was fun and the Bartender at Mo's kept giving me specially blended drinks.. I finished the night at Paty's (cause they always treat me well) with Birthday Cake = ) Nothing eventful but still fun. However in about a week or two my future Sister - in - Law Kristal is throwing me a birthday party at her place.. So.. I am EXTREMELY excited for that!
Also, on my Birthday Taylor Swift's 3rd Album came out and of course, I went out and Bought it..lets just say it is EPIC. What I love about her songs is they are easily relate-able... but they are based on her life.. so, like many others.. you find yourself trying to figure out who the songs are about. I can honestly say that this CD has been on repeat in my apartment.. in fact, I am listening to it while I am typing this blog. Over half of her songs have me relating them to my life.. I love it.. it has also inspired me to sing again and to also, learn guitar.. acoustic of course.. but I'll have to go find a cheap guitar first.. HAHA.
As far as my life goes. I am SO SO SO happy to be home in Toluca Lake now. I just have to get back into my routine here. Which is easier said than done, but I will.. <3

Absentee Blogger
I have been sucking at Blogging lately... mainly because I have been up North for about a month now and also, because I have had nothing to really blog about....
My trip up North was for mainly 2 reasons. I took my Cousin Taylor to see the Jonas Brothers / Demi Lovato / Camp Rock 2 Concert. That was on Sept 19th and that was a LONG day.. The day began early with me picking Taylor up in Gilroy then heading to San Jose Municipal Stadium to watch the Road Dogs play.. which is a Softball team the Jonas Brothers started. They use it to promote X the Text and it is also a neat way for the fans to grow closer to the band. It was a surprisingly Hot day, but well worth it... I wasn't too annoyed by screaming fan girls either. The Road Dogs won the game and Taylor also got to meet Alysson Stoner. Here are some pics from the game.
After the game, we drove back to Gilroy, Dropped Taylor off.. then I drove back to Hollister.. and I changed... then drove back to Gilroy to pick Taylor up cause she changed also .. then we were Off to the Concert.
The Concert was Amazing and we had a wonderful time, but we were both wiped out by the time we got to the parking lot.
My Trip up here Also, including some bonding time with my Best Friend Natasha and her Boyfriend Shane at Vasona and a week of babysitting my favorite kids Alec and Makenna... who drive me absolutely insane but are also Hilarious. What Else... What Else...? OH! I also, got to see Sarah Palin speak on the 14th of October. That was SO SO exciting. She was a truly amazing and inspirational speaker. She spoke about her family, the Giants winning and then took to issues that Californians are upset with... referring to Pelosi, Boxer and Reid as..." permanently living on a unicorn ranch is fantasyland".
I also spent time with my Dad, Susan and my Grandpa Thomas.. some yummy dinners and watching the Giants dominate. The rest of my trip has been somewhat boring... and I go home tomorrow after getting my hair cut... I have many reason for being excited to be going home.. 1. Being I miss Toluca Lake 2. Being I will be closer to Brandon 3. Being my 21st birthday is 4 days AWAY! My plans for my 21st birthday are pretty simple... On the day of my birthday which is a Monday... Brandon and I will Start with Breakfast and my favorite diner Paty's then the whole day a Disneyland. For My Party.. my sister - in - law Kristal offered to throw me one, but that wont be until November.. I am SO excited for that. I am also really excited for my 1st Halloween in Toluca Lake... although It probably won't be exciting given Trick or Treaters don't really go to apartment complexes... but I am excited to get Pumpkins and crave them! Ok, this blog is now getting boring.. so until my life becomes more interesting.. PEACE

Boring
PAIN.
That is what I am in right now... my back hurts a tons.
So, life. I haven't been up to much really... My Online Classes started and I am enjoying that... Than, I have quit my second job and than boy drama. So that is really all that is going on. I'm sorry this wasn't that boring when I thought about it in my head... but than I sat down to type this and my body just got really tired.
My plan is go back to acting I guess, I got a modeling offer, which I think I will take and than I think I will join Central casting to earn vouchers for my SAG card. Who knows. That's the only thing going on in my life

I Call It Progress
Warning Some Foul Language Ensues
I HATE SPIDERS.
They are my mortal enemy and like many people I have no good reason to hate them.
It's more of a phobia really, which in that case would lead me to the wise words of my Psychology 3 Professor "there is always a reason for our phobias, no matter how weird or random they seem" I would have to disagree with her. This is also coming from a professional who was shocked and almost laughed at my fear of being touched by feet, my fear of rock slides(which does have a logical reasoning behind it) and my fear of amputations/amputees. Anyways, like I said.. I have no real reason to hate these creatures... besides the fact that they really are creepy and crawly and just "AGH!".
SO, This is what I call progress. I live on my own. Meaning no more waking Dad or Mom in the middle of the night to kill the spider (although Mom is really no help), it means I have to woman up and do it on my own. Which is hard, Because all I want to do is scream, run out of the room close to tears yelling "KILL IT! KILL IT! KILL IT!" . So, this leads me to my predicament; around midnight, a small but not TOO small of a spider was spotted at the edge of my ceiling. Too high for me to kill. I continued reading my book... but kept my eye on it, waiting for it to make it way down the wall and be in perfect range for my shoe. I am aware that smacking it with my shoe, in an apartment complex, where I share walls is utterly rude; but frankly I don't give a shit. This is a life of death matter! Under no circumstances will I have squish a spider we toilet paper.. I like it to be quick easy and painless. I know the bitch his dead, I don't need to feel it eighty creepy crawling legs squirming through the tissue. Unfortunately, this spider is on to me, he knows I have my eyes set on him and he knows the price he will pay is he decides to descend down the walls. It's is now 5:30 am... almost 6 hours after the initial sighting and he has managed to make his way round the room, but never faltering from being on the ceiling. He is now, at a stand still. Which is driving me insane. I am tired my eyes, can barely stay open, my vision is blurry, but there is no way I will be able to sleep till I know this fucker is dead.
This Is Progress. I have not screamed, I have not ran out of my apartment. I am handling this like a mature adult.
Funny thing is this blog was originally going to be about my kitten Martini and was going to written later in the day after I had gotten sleep and had been productive and I will get to writing that blog..I just needed to write something now to keep me awake.

That's What They Call Life.
I find that I feel that there is SO much going on in my life, but when I really sit back and think about my days... there really is nothing going on...
Bailey has moved down here with me... which is nice = ) Bailey now lives with me, because my mom moved to Hollister. That was bittersweet since she move out of our home of 18 years. 18 years of my life were in that home.... so, it was hard. Although, I do like the new house she has moved into. Anyways... Bailey has been Bailey. She is a mini star down here. Really every where we go SHE makes friends and really has helped me get to know people. At the moment I live in a studio. So that would be Bailey, my three cats (Aurora,Pandora and Martini) and I all living under the same roof. To be honest it's not bad but Bailey needs more space. So, after Bailey moved in everything was going pretty well. Until.. the neighbor below complained that Bailey was too loud at night... this is a complete lie.. given Bailey sleeps with me ALL night.. that dog is spoiled.. she refuses to sleep in her dog bed.. which has now basically become the cats bed... Anyways.. My manager decided that Bailey had to go. This had come literally at the worst most Ironic time too. The day before I had quit my job... and also took time to unpack those extra boxes I had lying around my Living room/office/bedroom... and after I had permanently made the studio my address. This lead to a weak of uncertainty with the fact that I had no cash.. I was behind on bills and now basically had to find a new place in Toluca Lake, that accepted animals and was bigger. Although, I was uncertain inside... I kept telling myself that I had to have faith that it would all work out and a week later it basically did. I ended finding a beautiful 2 bedroom 1 bath a street away from where I am now. That accepts my pets and isn't CRAZY expensive (although I am getting help from my loving mother) and another new job. Also, My manager decided to tell me today that Bailey can stay and I am good (as long a the lady below doesn't complain again). I'm hopefully getting this 2 bedroom but if not. Everything really worked itself out.. at least for now. Who knows what tomorrow will bring me.
In other news. I am excited for this new job. I work in the entertainment industry and I only work on weekends = ) So, lets hope.. none of my random issues happen to screw this one up. I went on a photo shoot for head shots yesterday in downtown LA and really the experience was "eh" we were losing light, it was windy and well since my photographer didn't have a permit we had to cut the shoot short. I was suppose to get my photos on a CD but they asked if I could come back next Monday in the morning for better shots. However...I don't think I will. The photographer was rude(not in person but through messages) Before the shoot he scolded me on the photos of my profile being as they are not professional and that I shouldn't have a couples picture up. First off I am NOT a professional model. I do not claim to be one and I am just starting out so you get what you get...Than after the shoot he messaged me to scold me for bringing an escort to my shoot who is also my Fiancé. Telling me again that it was unprofessional of me and that none of the other models did it. So here is my response to him (since I cannot say it on the site, cause that would be really unprofessional) I ALWAYS bring an escort says so on my profile. The escort will always be male and for now it will always be my Fiancé because A: he can protect me and B: he's the only guy I know it Los Angeles. As far as, the other amateur models not bring an escort. They are DUMB and that is how you hear the story of the aspiring model who went to a photo shoot by herself and got killed. And if we want to talk about being Professional... a professional probably wouldn't shoot me in his sweats. A Professional would call his model when the location has changed.. so she doesn't have to get lost in Downtown LA for 45 min. to find the location and a professional would have gotten the god damn permits in the first PLACE. = )
Countdown Until My 21st Birthday: 67 days
I AM SO EXCITED! I have No idea what I am going to do! I want it to be wild and crazy and big, yet chic, sophisticated and small lol... Mostly everyone I know won't be 21 yet.. So, I have can't decide what I want to do. I really want to go to dinner somewhere nice than party the rest of the night away at the Chateau Marmont.... but who knows.... plus that's A LOT of money... but it would be so memorable I think (hopefully in a good way) As for gifts... I can't think of anything I REALLY want.. besides my Mercedes ML350.. There are things I would like to have but nothing I really WANT. Although, I will be happy with whatever I get. Even if it's just my friends showing up... but gifts are nice = P
And that is my life as of now one big clusterfuck of whatever. = )

Another Day.. Not Another Dollar...YET
Hmm, not much going on In the life of Kelsey.
Went Back up north to San Jose for 4th of July which was quite pleasant. Enjoyed hanging with family and my besties Natalie, Natasha and Natasha's Boyfriend Shane.. As well, as my Fiance Brandon. It was filled with games of Apples to Apples, Taboo and Scrabble's newest game SLAM! catching up, laughter and amazing FOOD! The rest of my week up north was pretty plain jane, although I did enjoy a nice spa day and Los Gatos' The Spa with my mom. BTW, I definitely recommend The Spa. The prices are fairly decent for the services you get and the offer a variety of services.. (no not THOSE kind of services).. Ladies, there dressing room is a womens heaven and do not visit with out a steam shower. Then later on Brandon and I drove down south together given he is moving to Santa Barbara...
The Drive down was alright, minus me suffering severe car sickness; which isn't something I usually get. We unpacked since Brandon is sharing a small room with his friend.. I offered my apartment as storage for these things.. plus I'm sure he'll visit a lot.. so they won't be too missed. Before he left we spent time at Disneyland and California Adventure..Got a glimpse of World Of Color, which from what we saw it looked great! Unfortunately, you need Fast Passes to get any front views of the show... So, going to have to wait awhile before we see it. I also got a new kitten.. very young, tiny and an orange tabby. She is VERY cute and after LONG talks and voting, I finally named her Martini.
My other cats are not too thrilled with Martini and it's funny cause since I got her my cats stopped acting like kittens and started acting like bitchy old cats. It is funny and sad to watch Martini desperately try to win their approval. The only major problem with her is the fact that I had to potty train her.. however, there has yet to be an accident since.
As far as life, I had an interview with a company today and It seemed to go really well and I start Shadowing at the end of the month. Besides that it has been CRAZY hot down here and makes my apartment bearably HOT.. So a lot of time in the pool, watching tv, walks every other day and reading. Although, my reading is still taking me forever. I am still reading Love The One You're With by Emily Giffen. Who's books I could sing praises for all day long.
SO.. right now, that is my boring life.
