I'm Alive!

Great news!  My principal didn't kill me! I still have no idea what happened to my papers, but I'm alive.  I'm so glad to be alive.
My friend Katie told me that I needed to make a post on my blog...the thing is...for once, I seem to be slightly at a loss for words.
I guess I could tell you about my phone conversation with my friend Kayden.
Kayden is my friend, and we both like swords, dragons and other awesome things like that.  I bet that if he and Timothy got together they'd end up being friends.
Of course, Kayden seems slightly annoyed with me for getting a boyfriend, and might refuse to meet Timothy...so I really don't know.
Anyway, Kayden and I are planning to make wooden swords, and give them names.  We were discussing it when he called me, to see if I could talk, because apparently he was sick today, and spent a great deal of his time over the toilet...He told me that, though why he had to tell me that about being over the toilet I don't know...
Anyway, and he asks me what I'm going to name my sword.
We go through all these names, and then he says, "I know, I'll come up with a word that you like, and then we'll find out what it is in another language.  Like Harmony, or--"
And I popped up with, "Oh I got it!  Harmonic Chaos!"
And he liked it.
He thought I was going too far with Chaotic Peace though.
Humph.
And yes, as a matter of fact, I am crazy!
Wait a second..
Crazy?  I was crazy once.  They stuck me in a padded room with rats.  Rats, I hate rats, they drive me crazy.  Crazy, I was crazy once, they stuck me in a padded room with rats.  Rats, I hate rats, they drive me crazy.  Crazy, I was crazy once, they stuck me in a padded room with rats.  Rats, I hate rats, they drive me crazy.  Crazy, I was crazy once, they stuck me in a padded room with rats.  Rats, I hate rats, they drive me crazy.  Crazy, I was crazy once, they stuck me in a padded room with rats.  Rats, I hate rats, they drive me crazy.
*giggles like a maniac*
You see, I told you I was crazy!
Ugh, I have something that I would love to tell you, but I don't think I can!  Gah!  That's horrible!
OH!  But I can tell you this!  There's a website that my Bible teacher Miss Ryder told me about.
If you're a fan of Adventures in Odyssey than this is the site for you!
Free Odyssey Episodes!
Awesome isn't it now?  I LOVE IT!  I think I do anyway.  For now.  Until I listen to all the episodes O:)
I have a few quotes for you.
"The more I get to know someone, the more I realize how little I really know them."~Me
"A lighthouse doesn't blare a horn, it just shines the light."~Pastor Chad
"Great minds think alike.  So do the stupid ones!"~Kayden
I love quotes. ^_^ 
One of my favorites is, "YOLO!"
What?  No, don't look at me like that!  It means, "You Obviously Love Oreos!"
I know, stolen oh so many times, but ya know what?  Who cares!?  I obviously don't!
Oh that brings me to a rant topic!
YOLO!
Yolo irks me to death!  I mean, for some people it might be okay, but there's a lot of people who use YOLO to mean that they can do whatever they want, because they only live once, and they don't have consequnces for anything they do.
Like a guy at my school, who isn't really my friend. I can deal with him, but I there are other people I would rather talk to.
He loves YOLO.  He loves it to the point that he gets mad at anyone who says it means You Obviously Love Oreos.  He literally punched a guy!  Then again, he also likes Justin Beiber, so...yeah, I guess his word can't quite be trusted.
He sat there and carefully explained to me, "You see, it means you only live once, so you go out, and you do what you can, because you know, you only live once, so go out and get high, and have fun, and do whatever you can."
It was like reasoning with a penguin.
Actually, a penguin might be more reasonable.
Today I saw a poster thing that had a picture of people getting drunk and high, and it said, "This is not YOLO."  Than it had a picture of soldiers underneath it, and it said, "This is YOLO."
I think I agree with that picture more than the general definition of YOLO.
YOLO wouldn't be so bad if they would use it to mean, "You only have one life; make it worthwhile."
Okay, yeah, there's my rant of the...week?  Day?  Random other times...
Okay anyway, gotta go, see ya!

Hi

Yes, I know, that's probably the worst, most stupid title I have ever come up with.
I've been feeling kind of nostalgic today, and missing being a little girl, like I used to be...
So nostalgic in fact, that I asked my mom to cut my pancake up into little squares like she used to, before I got old enough to cut it into pieces by myself, and I even went and read my old blog, which I haven't posted on in over a year.  I read every single one of my posts.
And I have come to a conclusion...
I have grown very long winded!
I've also improved my grammar and spelling.
Here's the link if you want to read all the crazy stuff that I came up with when I was 12.
My Old Blog
It's hard to believe that I was blogging almost three years ago.
On January 7th 2013, I will have been blogging for exactly three years.  It makes me feel old.
In two years alone I have gone from being extra happy all the time, to knowing the feeling of depression, (but not all the time, don't worry!) never having a boyfriend, to having a boyfriend, not knowing much about politics, to hating politics, having horrible grammar, and therefore not so great writing, to having better grammar, at times being a Grammar Nazi, and being much better at writing, not having finished any of my books to having one book on the verge of publication, and all of it makes me feel old.
It's like the whole world is changing or something.  Like I'm changing.
I just don't know if I'm changing for the better, or for the worst.  I hope for the better.
It's amazing how fast time goes by, and how quickly something can change.
Like, if you say something cruel to someone, in one night, that person's family can go from having a son, and brother, grandson, and nephew, to having a funeral for that person, because your words caused them to commit suicide.
In two years I have realized that everything you say to someone will affect them.  And if you say mean things to them, you can hurt them in ways no one will ever know.  But one little word of kindness can make someone happy.
I don't know where all this is coming from, I just feel really sentimental, and really lovey dovey, and nostalgic and all of that good stuff.
Thank you for taking the time to read my rambling blog.
~Katie :)

Poptarts

I like poptarts.  Does anyone else like poptarts?  I really like poptarts.  At least the s'mores poptarts.  I like s'mores too!
I'm kinda hungry right now.  Food is good.
I really don't have much of a post to make, but I really felt the need to make a post.
Oh yeah!
My principal is gonna kill me tomorrow!
I lost my math paper stuff thingy that I took home, because I wanted to see if I could work on it at home, even though I found out that I didn't really have time, because I let other stuff take up my time, such as facebook, and people, and...*cough cough* blogging. *cough cough*
But the point is that he took me out of Algebra 1 because I wasn't quite getting it, so he's teaching me and Nefty in his office, and he's getting us on Pre Algebra, and I lost my paper, and I told him that I'd bring it back, and I lost it!
And I have no idea where to look for it!
I mean, you see, I had it in my binder, and then I looked for it, and it was gone, and then I looked in my locker, and it wasn't there either, and then I looked at home when I got home, and it's missing!  I even looked in my backpack!  It was gone!
I feel horrible, because I'm going to be breaking a promise to my principal, and I also feel doomed, because I haven't got the paper, and he'll kill me!
I can't die!  I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!
I have my whole life before me, and a boyfriend, and family, and friends, and cousins that need me, because I'm the oldest cousin, and therefore have the responsibility of beating up anyone who hurts my cousins!
Norma's just not ready for that yet!  I have to make sure she's ready for that before I die!
AHH!!!
And yes, I'm fully aware that I'm overreacting.
On a brighter side I got my pictures from picture day at school back today, and I look okay in them.  My hair hates to stay down though.  I had some flyaway hairs.  But ya know what?  Who cares!
Also, I had Youth Group today, and we did my friend, Jade's skit, about David, and Saul, and all them all.
And there's this really awesome scene, and we all split up to decide who would do what scene, and her, three other girls, and I got to do the awesomely funny part.  It was full of sarcasm and stuff.
And on another scene a group of guys turned it all gangster.  Like;
David: "Yo dog, what's dem doin' about dat big dude??" 
Soldier: "Well, first things first, King Saul's givin the dude who kills him no taxes, and even his daughter's hand in marriage!"
And well, it was just funny.  It would be funnier if you had read the actual script, and had been there.
Well, I gotta go, because I have school in the morning, and I just love school!
That's only slightly sarcastic, because I do like school, I'm just dreading being murdered tomorrow by my principal.
I'm just glad that he's not Miss B.
Okay, yeah, gotta go.
I love you guys!  But I love Jesus, and my boyfriend more.  In that order.
~Katie :)

Just Some Thoughts

You know how people date people, and they love each other, and care deeply for each other, and all?
And how they talk non stop about that person?  And how their mind is always on that person?
Well, I'm experiencing that...minus the talking constantly, because too many people told me to shut up.  Well...the two people that I mainly would talk to about him, and another I can tell was getting slightly annoyed at my one track mind.
But, this is my blog, which is kind of like a public journal...which is actually kind of strange to think of.  So you see, I can talk about whatever I want to.
And...well...I think I might try to dedicate this post to Timothy.  I say try, because I always get off topic.  And I just realized that I actually made a post dedicated to my friend, before I made one dedicated to Timothy.  And I feel bad about that.
Well...I think he's awesome, and crazy, and funny, and downright insane (but that's okay, 'cause I am too.)  He likes pepper jack cheese, just like me, he's sweet, and amazing.  He's handsome, and likes to write, and is quite good at it too, and I really want to reread what he wrote, and read more as soon as he writes it.  He likes dragons too.  And he's in choir.  Which is how I met him.
He makes me smile, just by thinking about him.  He's that awesome.  He's so much better than pickles or Mountain Dew.  And I really like those things.  He's...well, amazingly awesome, and a bunch of other positive words that haven't been invented yet.
I wish I could be an 8th grader, just so I could hang out with him more.
He likes pizza, and he doesn't like Pepsi.  And I like to give him hugs.
He's an amazing guy.
I love him.
~Katie :)

Picnics Are Awesome, and So's Pizza!

Dude, dude, dude!  Guess what I did today!  I went to the STUCO picnic at school!
I have a friend named Katie who said she liked my blog, and wanted me to mention her on it...  Sooo, I will!
My friend Katie A. is really awesome, and crazy, and funny, and sometimes scares me, but I still love her anyway, because I am almost incapable of hate, although I've been known to hate...one person, and anyone who hurts my friends or family.
Of course I don't hate that person anymore, they just really annoy me.  A lot.  So I don't talk to them anymore.
Oh wait, where was I? OH!
Katie, my friend Katie, she goes to school with me, but she's a...seventh grader, and I'm a ninth grader.  I wish I was an 8th grader.  For no apparent reason.  GAH!  I keep getting off topic!
The topic is...KATIE!  But not me.  Another Katie...Who doesn't have red hair, or an amazingly awesome boyfriend named Timothy.  So she's not me.
She's my friend though.  And I will give her a blog hug **blog hug to Katie**
I just realized I know so many Katies!
Katie G, Katie S, Katie A, Katie H, Me, Katie who's last name I don't remember but is somehow related to me, Katie P, I know I know another Katie, but I can't remember who now.  I feel horrible.
I also know a lot of Hannahs.
Hannah D, Hannah N, Hannah C, Hannah W, Hannah S, and then there's another Hannah, but I don't remember her last name either.
A bunch of Johns too.
Grampy, Little John, John-John, and some John who works at the builders supply.
My favorite guy at the builder supply is the dude who gives out free popcorn on Fridays.
My favorite guy at my school is a really awesomely amazing guy named Timothy.  I may have mentioned him a time or two.
I could go on and on about him, but I don't want my readers to get to be like my cousin and yell at me to shut up about him.  Of course I couldn't hear you yell over the computer anyway.  Unless you sent me a youtube video of you yelling it.
I like swings.  And merry-go-rounds.  And food.  And pickles.  Yes I know pickles are food, but they deserve a whole other category because they're so awesome.
Okay, well, I'm off to take another speed typing test.  Oh yeah by the way, my fastest typey thingy is 90 words per minute!  I WAS SO HAPPY!
Okay, well, I'm off.  I'll have to tell you more stuff about the Spaghetti feed and stuff later, because...well, right now I'm just too lazy.

Ya Know What?

Ya know what?  I was going to make a blog post, and then I looked at the time, and I realized that my mom had said for me to get off in a very little bit, so I hit the make a new post button anyway, and I'm making a very short post that is going to say I love each and every one of you in a totally uncreepy way, an I hope you're all having a good day/night/tomorrow/yesterday/whatever.
I got to see my extremely awesome boyfriend today, and well, I was actually quite happy about that, and he seemed pretty happy to see me too.  And he made a pretty awesome, and hilariously funny recording that I listened to, and there was a recording on the other side of the tape of him when he was little and his voice back then was soooo adorable, but then again voices are normally adorable when you're that age, whether you're a boy or a girl, and I even found out where he lives, which makes me pretty happy, and also slightly scared that if I tell any of my friends they're going to just drop me off at his house, and leave me there, like we almost did to my friend yesterday, but yet at the same time we didn't, we just took her to her crush's house, and we talked to him, and omw his house makes me feel like I just walked into a story.
You know I thought this would be a really short post, but it's turning into a longer short post, because I'm typing with lightning fingers, faster than I ever thought that I could, and listening to Taylor Swift, because I like her music.
Well actually I like just about any music, but not rap or scremo.  I like country, christian, contemporary christian, rock, some metal, but normally when I'm really depressed, and too depressed to see the light, but yeah pretty much anything.  SO long as it has good lyrics.
But I don't like jerks, or players.  I just don't like them.
Unless of course they're like...a football player, and then it all depends on their personality, and I have a boyfriend, so of course I'm not interested in them, I would just like them as friends.
I love having friends.  I have this one friend that I almost always try to beat up, but he knows karate, so it doesn't really work.
It's amazing how fast I'm typing.
Ya know what, hang on a minute.
I can type 75 words per minute, with 4 mistakes.  I'm very proud of myself.
Wait no make that 79.  Whoot whoot
Gotta go talk at ya later.
~Katie :)

The Grand Number!!!

Drum roll please!  *Hears drum rolls out of nowhere*
Okay, whoot whoot!  Guess what everyone!!!  This is the 100th post on my blog!  I'm so happy!  I never thought that I'd make it this far!  And my blog has been up for 1 1/2 years!
I know that that means I ought to have more blog posts, but I have trouble getting into my blogging kick at times.  But right now I'm pretty into it.
Well, that's all I had to say!
~Katie :)

Church Picnic!

I'm going to a church picnic today, and I am positive that it will be awesome.  I just really really hope that someone from my school can come, because they're my friend, and another of my friends, who is also from my school, but who I knew since before I started going there is coming too.
The best part of church picnics, is that you get free food.  Free food is always a good thing.  Always.
And of course another great part is that you get to hang out with friends.
Does anyone reading this know of people who say they're Christians, and yet they sit and talk and gossip about how horrible everyone else is and how much better than them they are?
I think we all know at least one "Christian" like that.  It's horrible.
See, there was this man, and somehow him and his wife got divorced, and then he got remarried.
These two women were sitting there, and saying, not in these words, but they were saying, "Ugh, how horrible, he divorced his wife, and now he's getting married.  We're so much better than him."
And I was sitting there thinking, "Um, hello, this isn't very Christ-like...Mind changing the topic to maybe...I don't know, how you're gonna witness to him, and help get him back on track?"
And furthermore, what about when those people that "Christians" sit around and gossip about find out all that has been said about them?
They're probably going to think, "Oh...well, if this is a Christian, then I don't want to be one!"
Yeah, and then the gossips wonder why their witnessing doesn't work.
Now, I'm not saying that I'm the poster girl for Christ-likeness.  I blow my top too much.  Although it can take a while before I get to the top blowing point.  Unless you have a major habit of trying to make me mad, in which case it takes a shorter amount of time to blow.
And I'm not saying that I have never gossiped.  I try not to gossip.  I don't always succeed, but I try.  And if I do talk about someone, and are using them as an example, I generally try not to name them.
I do want to say that ranting, hurt, upset talk isn't classified as gossip to me.  No it's still not right, but if you're just sticking your nose into everyone's business, and then sneezing all of their secrets and skeletons out to the world, then that's even worse.
I think I may have spoke on this topic before, but well, it's one that I feel strongly about, and I think people need to learn to not gossip.  Gossiping is not good, and is not acceptable.
Have I posted a picture of Alana yet?  My little vent figure, and daughter?  I also have Bridget, who is Alana's big sister.
Alana is 5 (or 6,) and  Bridget is 13.
Here's a peek into their personalities.
Alana is sweet, and innocent, (she doesn't know what Mountain Oysters are, and I hope to keep her that way) likes only one guy, is mischievous, and enjoys to pretend to tell people who other people like, she loves people, and church, and well, is just awesome.
Bridget likes a ton of different guys, all at once, in fact, she's liked over 10 guys in the month that she's been alive, she's a flirt, she loves dressing up, and she's sweet too.
I'm starting to think she's gonna end up being a chemo patient.
Those are my babies.
If you want to know what they look like, look up Tessie Talks, and Willie Talks on google.  Alana looks like Tessie, and Bridget looks like Willie, but with a wig.
I bought Alana from ebay with my own money, but Bridget I got from one of my second cousins.
They make me happy :)
Well, I hear the thunder rumbling, and I am getting writers itch, (where you must write, or you'll go crazy, the exact opposite from writers block where you can't write no matter how hard you try) Soooo, farewell!

Random Title Posty Thingy

Yeah, I really have no title for this silly little post, but I do however have a question for y'all.
Do you have any good ideas for fundraisers for a mission trip group?  We've got food feeds, craft fair, carnival, and a bunch of other things going on, and we also have vent figures, so if you have anything that we could do with them, that would be awesome!
And..well, that was actually it :/
I feel dumb now...
Alright, well talk at y'all later!

School, School, School, YAY!

Okay, so I don't understand why everyone hates school.  Or at least says that they do...See, I like school fairly well.  It's the math that I don't like.  Math is about the only thing that I really don't like, and have problems tolerating.
Science is a little bit iffy, cause, well, it's harder for me then my other subjects, but other than Science and math school is a breeze!
Sometimes I can't stand some of the people though.  Like there's this girl, who tried to tell me I couldn't date someone, that I never mentioned wanting to date in the first place.  She had absolutely no reason for me to not date him either.  Plus, she's not his mother, or my mother.  So yeah, she really irks me.
And no I never said that I didn't want to date the guy.  I'm not sure I want to jump into a relationship too soon or anything, but he would be a very awesome guy to date.
And no, he doesn't have a name as far as you're concerned.
So, as I was saying, I like school.  I also like my teachers.  I can't say anything about Miss B, because I have no classes with her, and so far she's been nice to me, like when I was getting books from the library, but that doesn't mean that she's like that in the classroom.
Bro. Todd is my favorite teacher, and Miss Ryder is like right up there with him.  I don't know why, but they just seem so energetic.  I like all my other teachers too though.
And my favorite subject...Guess what it is!  Guess guess guess!
LUNCH!!!
And other than that would be History, or English for paper work, and Choir for non paper work.
We get to sing in Choir!  I love Choir!  And the majority of my choirmates too.  Some of them I don't care too much for, but hey, and least I don't hate their guts.
If I hated their guts then we would have problems.
Cat fights.  MRROW!
So, got any "My Thoughts On..." topics for me to do?
Alright, I must depart.

My Thoughts On...

I have decided to start a new segment on "Katie's Hyper Thoughts."  It's called, "My Thoughts On..."  And then, I will give you my thoughts on a certain topic.  You can choose topics for me to "think" on if you do so desire.
My first topic shouldn't shock too many people, because I am a teenage girl, who has liked more guys than she is old...It's really weird.
LOVE!  So, My Thoughts On...LOVE!  The first My Thoughts On episode...Of sorts.
Okay, so, I like love and all, but I must admit it can be confusing.  I mean, sure, you like the guy, (so maybe it isn't love, but I will include that in the love category) but you don't know how to act or react.
See, I know this one girl (no names mentioned, and if anyone knows who I'm talking about...KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND YOUR FINGERS STILL!  Understand?)  She likes this guy, and she thinks that he might like her, and there's this thing coming up, and she could ask him to go with her, but she's too scared that he doesn't really like her.
And then there's where you add the girl who likes the same guy as you do, or at least dislikes you liking him, and the thought of him liking you.
See, this same girl likes to be near the guy she likes, but this other girl actually pushed her away to stand next to him.  I understand how complex that can be.
And then you have the jealous friend factor, where a friend of the opposite sex of the guy you like (so therefore a gal pal) is upset because you like the guy and the guy likes you, and they probably just don't want the guy to get hurt.
Hopefully it's that, and not that they hate your guts.
See, so my first thought on love is that it's confusing.
Actually, forget about all the different scenarios, I'll give you those in a little bit.
Here's what I think about love.  Love can be painful, love can be beautiful, and amazing, love is needed, because a person without love can easily grow cold and mean, in order to love you have to trust the person that you claim to love.  Like the girl I mentioned...She has trust issues, and she's a little scared to trust the guy, even though she likes him.  And no she doesn't like him for his looks, although I myself don't think he's bad looking.
Love shouldn't be based on what they can give you, or how much moolah they have, or their looks.  You ought to base it on their personality, and their relationship with God.
It's not wrong to love someone who obviously has issues, although depending on those issues, you may not want to pursue a relationship with them.  It might not be wise, and they could drag you down the same path that they're on.
There've actually been times when I haven't seen the point in love, at least not for me...But I think I'm making my way back to actually being able to love.  I hope I am.
So, anyway, there are my thoughts on love!
Oh, and my friend (who has requested to be called Emmiline, as she is too nervous about the guy she likes finding my blog of reading this) would like to know if anyone has advice for her.
Okay, the same friend as above actually...She likes this guy, and suspects that he might like her, and she's talked to him a lot, and there's this thing going on.  She kind of wants to ask him to go to it with her, but she's nervous.  Should she wait and see if the guy will ask her, or should she try to be bold and ask him to go with her?
Any advice would be very welcome.  You can comment it, or message it to me on facebook if I've got you added on facebook.
Oh yeah, she's also 14, and isn't sure if she'd be asking him to go as her boyfriend, or just a friend, but more than likely a friend that you like as more than a friend.
I'm a little worried that her and that guy are gonna end up dancing around each other, to try to avoid from getting hurt.
Okay, thank you!
~Katie :)

Busy Busy Busy!

Okay, so I've had a busy, and funfull weekend.  It mostly started Friday night...which was the night of my school's fall festival.
We had a jail, a skit, and different groups (including choir) sang for the peeps who were all around.  And me, the most amazingly awesome journalist ever only got two pictures because I was having way too much fun.
And there was a jail.  We could put someone in jail for a dollar, and bail someone out for a dollar.  GABI PUT ME IN JAIL!!!  I was not happy!  So, I put her in jail.  Timothy was really nice and bailed me out of jail.  He told me that if I wouldn't run from him, he would bail me out.  So, I didn't run, and he bailed me out.
Then we chased Gabi (who is Timothy's sister) around to put her in jail.
But we had to pause to go up and sing while being all out of breath.  So, when we were done singing Timothy and I finally caught her!  And we stuck her in jail!
Funny for a school that has a no touching policy to allow us to have a jail, where guys and girls tackle each other, and grab at each other, step on each other's feet, and drag each other across the ground...Ahh well, I guess we weren't technically at school.  So...yeah, anyway...
And then today we had Farm Heritage Days which is a day where we have these awesome vendors who set up, and show things that went on in the 1800's, and all that.  It's pretty awesome.  There was this one stone house, that's set up on the property, and well, it's a pretty awesome house!  It's over 100 years old!
And there were even pony rides! ^_^  I rode several times, and got to help lead the horses, and once the horse stepped on my foot.
I didn't cry, but I did go, "Argh!"  In a groan, and bent over a little bit.  I blame myself for getting in his way.  He didn't mean to step on me.  He meant to move over a little bit, and eat some more grass.  Nom nom nom, I love grass.  I mean, he loves grass...
Anyway, it was pretty awesome.
And then when I got home, some music that I'd ordered off of Amazon arrived!  I WAS SO HAPPY!  Hey, who am I kidding, I'm still happy!
Okay, wanna know something that irks me?
People who think that they know everything.  Like, we all know one of them.  That person who knows exactly what's going on in your life, all of your feelings and emotions, and exactly how to fix them all.  Even when you didn't want  them to fix it, and just wanted them to listen.
I have the habit of wanting to fix stuff, but not knowing how.  So instead I give hugs.
Everyone needs a hug.
So right now, before I depart from this place of awesome blogginess...
**HUG TO EVERYONE**
I love you people!  And remember, you're awesome, and amazing, and special, and loved...
