A Tribute To Jennifer

 I just wanted to make a special blog post for my best friend, Jennifer! She has been standing by my side since 4th grade and anyone who sticks around me for that long, is definately a true friend. I know I can be a bit moody, and somewhat of a "handful". She always knows how to cheer me up when I'm down and we have been through a lot the past couple of years. Jennifer, knows everything about me and she is one of the very few people I actually trust. I love her to death and I know nothing could ever come between us.
jumping pictures are always a classic :)
this probably explains our friendship :D

Why So Arrogant?

Why do people become so arrogant when they hit fame? After the long road to become famous is over, most of the rock stars are left with a bottle of rum and lonliness. I assume that this is the reason they become so bitter and arrogant, because after they hit fame, that is what they have to show for in life, if they are proud of it or not.
I met a few "celebrities", some made me lose respect, some made me gain.  For example: I went to Vans Warped Tour this summer, and met Andy Sixx of the Black Veil BridesBlack Veil Brides are a popular "screamo" or "heavy metal" band mostly teenagers like.    I waited in line for more than 2 hours just to see them sign a $3.00 poster and for them to say "hi" and "thanks" after i complimented them.  I assumed (silly me) that i would at least be able to snap a picture of him and I together, but when i asked it was a big...fat..NO! What makes them so special? They can scream into a microphone....big whoop, my 3 year old cousin does that without pay!

On the other hand, I was privledged enough to meet Craig Mabbitt and Max Green of Escape The Fate, and they were the sweetest, most humble people I have ever met.  They seemed genuinely happy I came to see them, instead of annoyed.  They let me take as many pictures as i wanted with them, and had a real conversation. It was one of the greatest things, and they have gained so much respect from me!

Just An Average Day

I would love to have my first blog to be an auto-"blog"ography about myself.  My full name is Nicole Dawn Pelc, but I like to go by Nikki.  I choose the name Nikki because I believe it matches my personality better than Nicole does.  I think of myself as a quirky person who just likes to have fun. Anger is a waste of time in my eyes so I do not become angered very easily.  As of right now, my life is all marching band, all the time.  Us "bandos" as we are called by our director, has us imprisoned. Virtually, the only free day we have is on Sunday, and he still prefers us to be practicing our instruments.  After a while, you get used to it and your friends become your family. They are there no matter what. Marching band helps build character and I am thankful for the determination it has given me.  That is why I am joining next year and every year until I'm a Senior. 
Part of the Family I love so much!
We had so much fun at the Homecoming game!
