Im going to....

Share something with you.

I am a girl. (duh Kelsey) and I am SIX FOOT FIVE. Yah life can be pretty rough sometimes when your this tall as a girl, like when you want a new boyfriend, or a pair of jeans, or maybe just to blend into the background... And people can sometimes be assholes. And say mean stuff.

But you know what?

I relized something today that I want to tell everyone!!!

If you have read some of my blog posts you notice I crave adventure and freedom... but am tied down..

Well I think god made me this tall so I wouldnt blend in with the 'norm' crowd and be just another person. He made me how I am so I can stick out and boldly Stand out and do something different, make a change and be unique. So I could be remembered and make a statement to THE WORLD.

So I wanna give a big shout out to the man up stairs for making me how and who I am. Thanks God, your the man.

I just finished reading...

Sarah's Key

It was a great book that kept you on your toes, makes you laugh cry and just ache. It was a wonderful book that is now a movie and I cannot wait to see the movie!! The book jumps back and forth from today times to 1942 during WWII in France and talks of the Holocaust and what part France played in Hitlers Genocide. I recomend this read!

I'm in a...

I want to..

Run away, escape college, expectation, judgement, family, and social pressure with a vintage

1951 13-ft Comet trailer pulled by my jeep with a dog and the top down oh and my camera too, but no laptop or tv or cell phone with internet, and just go!! Live like a gypsie and when I get low on cash I will stop and find a job until I have enough money to leave again and maybe one day find a spot I love and live there. But I hate this city life, and not only do I have to go to college but I have to play basketball there too (Because college is expensive!!!) I want to see and experince everything before there is even the slightest chance of getting pinned down by "The man" in a 9-5 hell hole. (Thats my worst  fear by the way) So here are some pictures... because I can.

Why are you...

Still sitting there?? I mean im not saying im not thrilled your actually reading my blog, cause I AM! But seriously get up and  go DEVOUR  LIFE!!

Oh and tell me all about what you go devour!!

(No animals should be injured in this challenge.)

Scones!

   I woke up this morning HUNGRY like the, "was the last time I ate a year ago" hungry. So I went to the trusty internet and found this recipe and holy shit. Best breakfast anything I have EVER made. So enjoy! But get ready to get dirty, its hands on scone time!

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen

1/2 cup raisins (or dried currants)

Zest of one orange

1/2 cup sour cream

1 large egg

Directions

1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins and orange zest.
3. In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
4. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
5. Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

Thanks to Allrecipes.com for the idea.

Let me start off by saying...

IM NO ARTIST
BUT, I believe anyone can make art. I am so in love with all the mixed media artwork I thought, "What the hell?"  And tried my hand at it and was plesently surpirsed at the outcome, for my wee little artless brain its pretty good. Post your mixed media I would love to see it!!

Tim Noble (born 1966) and Sue Webster (born 1967), who work as a team, are among the most celebrated of their generation of British artists; they are associated with the post-YBAgeneration of artists emerging after the Young British Artists of the 1990s.

When it comes to love....

I'm such a cynic
cyn·ic/ˈsinik/Noun

1. A person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons.

2. A person who questions whether something will happen or is worthwhile.

   I dont believe in that bullshit love story or marriage and etc... But when it comes to love movies and romance I just cant get enough. I think it is all so endearing and romantic, but in my mind its all just fiction. I could spend all day watching the old VHS Disney movies with a nice huge bowl of double fudge brownie ice cream in my sail boat PJ bottoms, and be completely happy. But then think about romance in "real life" and realize it doesn't actually exists.  When was the last time you actually got a hand written letter? Well if your realizing that people besides, the electric company and your Great Aunt Delilah can send mail then it's been too long! Remember in Aladdin when he rescued Jasmine from the market? And the big bad man got in the way and Aladdin made a few mistakes and lies but kept fighting to be with Jasmine and in the end it all worked out and they rode off into the sunset on a magic carpet?



What about Hercules? One of my favorite movies EVER and the Damsel is in, (can you guess it?) distress and the hero saves her. And all ends well with love, kisses and

How about another movie? Ohh what about Snow White? Trapped by the evil witch in an eternal sleep and the prince rescues her... surprise.. surprise..

I've lost the point to this rant... so
