Whooooosh!

Okay, yeah I know, oh wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything.  Like...four days?  My last post was on the 10th, and today is the 14th I think.  Yup, it's the 14th.
I haven't really had anything to blog about.  Nothing exciting, or so exceptionally boring that I felt the need to share it.
Lately all I've been doing has been crashing in my room, messin around on the computer, and watching movies.  Oh, and feeding Serenity.  Best bunny ever.  Love her sooo much.
Of course later today, after the movie I'm watching, I'm heading up to the Grocery store to do my mopping.  That's my job every Thursday.
Or Friday's if I'm unable to make it on Thursdays.
I'm also learning how to do a Fishtail braid!  I googled it, and it looks easier than I thought it would be.  I wonder if French Braiding would be as easy.
I normally hate French Braids, the main reason being that whenever they're done my hair gets pulled, and hurts my head.
Alrigh, well, off to finish my movie.

Hi-Hi

Yeah, I have no real awesome news, or title, so I was just popping in to say hi, and to ask if you have any awesome stuff for me to talk about and get my opinion on!

All The Pretty Little Horses...

I just needed a title, and that song just came into my mind.  It's a lullaby.
Guess what!!!  I got to drive all the way from the town next to me!  A whole thirty minute drive!  And I did it all!  I'm best at stopping, and starting, not too good at turning, (yet, cause I always overcorrect) although I do have the blinkers on and off figured out, and I know how the windshield wipers work.
See we were driving down the road, then I say, "Hey Mom, how do the windshield wipers work?"
She tells me, then says, "I think to squirt the liquid you pull it toward you."
I pull it toward me, and sure enough, that stuff comes out, and Mom says, "But don't do that yet, you're not experienced enough."
A lil late of a warning, and we made it through.
No one wreaked into me, and I didn't wreak into anyone.  Not even an animal.
And today was the last day of VBS. *sad face*
I love Alexus, there's no getting around that fact.  She's the sweetest little girl, and I found out that she's a foster kid.  Not up for adoption though, and she won't be in the system 'til I'm old enough to foster her, so I can't do that, but I was told that I might be able to spend some one on one time with her though.  Awesome or what?  Awesome of course.
And then this Saturday is Flag Day!
It'll all be awesome!
Okay, so I was on youtube, and I clicked on a song while I was on a songs page, and oh my word, I think I'm hooked.
I mean there was this Tarzan and Jane song, and then there was a Bumble Bee song, (not the best, it got a lil suggestive in places, but it had a catchy tune, and I think I could make a Christian Parody of it) this led me to, Castle in the Sky, which led me to Butterfly I guess is what it's called.
It's like Electronic Japanese music I think?
Here's the link to the Butterfly one: Butterfly
Then here's Castle in the Sky, I really like it! Castles in the Sky
Yeah, I'm probably going to be posting songs and stuff, that way y'all are kept up to date on my music and stuff like that.  That's just how I am.
Speaking of music, I am SO glad God made music.
Anyway, gotta run off now,
~Katie :)

Lalala!

Okay, wanna know something that I've noticed?!  If I post my posts on facebook, then I get more views.  Is that crazy or what?
Okay, so I wrote this song, and I'm going to record it, and put it on youtube.  I literally wrote it.  Music and all.  Although I don't actually know what notes I'm singing.  I just know the tune.
I had my own song stuck in my head earlier today! xD  I wonder if that ever happens to singers like, Britt Nicole, or MercyMe, or Taylor Swift...  Maybe it's just me?  I don't know!!!
Here's the lyrics:

Every tear I've ever cried, you've seen it... Every sorrow that I hide you know it. Every pain, and every woe, the shame that I can't get to go... You see it all you know it all you see it. And you, lift me out of the darkness, into the light, out of the night dark, and into morning bright. You, pull me out of the mess I made, full of shame, and sin. You know it all, you see it all, you love me anyway.
You pulled me out of the pit I hid in, like Zacheus in his tree, and you wraped your strong and loving arms around me, and are helping me to be who I should be.
You see it all, you know it all, you see it. And you, lift me out of the darkness, and into the light, out of the the night dark, and, into morning bright. You, pull me out of the mess I made, full of shame and sin. You see it all, you know it all, you love me anyway.
Dear Jesus, thank you for the love, that you have show, and Father God, for loving me, and helping me to grow. I know that you see the sings, the wrongs that I have done, please help me to live a better way.
You see it all, you know it all, you see it. And you, lift me out of the darkness, into the light. Out of the night dark, and into morning bright, you pull me out of the mess I made, full of sin and shame, you know it all you see it all, you love me anyway.
Oh yes you love me anyway. You love me anyway...You love me anyway.....

That's it.  Well, sort of, the last bit changes every time.  I'll record and put it on youtube and then post it here!  And on facebook.  And...yeah that's all the social networks I really have.  Well, I do have a twitter, but I don't really like twitter, and I don't get the point of it.
Actually, I just recorded it.  Right now I have to check and make sure I sang it right, and then I have to convert it to a video file, and then I have to post it on youtube, and then I have to go mow, and then go mop.
Yep, I mop on Thursdays at the Grocery Store.  It's pretty fun.  I like it.
Mowing on the other hand...I guess it depends what I was doing, what I want to do, what time it is, how tired I am, and a ton of other stuff to consider.
Like if I'm really tired, I do not want to mow!  I will almost start crying like a lil kid if Mom tries to make me go mow when I'm that tired.  If I'm in the middle of something important, I also don't like doing it then.  Most of the time I think I like it though.
It somewhat helps me relieve stress.  I say somewhat, because sometimes I'm tired, and all it does is create more stress, because I'm tired, need to sleep, and can't.
About sleeping...I don't really want to sleep.  Not when I'm awake anyway.
Okay, whoot whoot people!
He Loves Me Anyway
My song!  I wrote and sang it.  All by myself.  I'm very proud of myself.  Wait, proud is bad.  Agh, I don't know, but anyway, I'm very happy.
Oh, and if you have time, check out Psalms 118.  I like it.  There's SO much that I underlined, and made notes on.
Okay, now I'm gonna skiddadle.
I'll type out another post lata!
~Katie :)

My Love, My Life, My Longing....IS TOTALLY THE POOL!

Okay, so hi everyone!
Awesome VBS day today, loved it!  And I think that today has been the best day I've had in a loooong time!
See first I woke up at 8:00, took a shower, and washed my hair, and I really need to shave my legs, because as I tell my good friend Ronda, "I have leggy hairs."   Then off I go to awesome VBS.  Our VBS theme is Space Quest.  I could see about finding some of the songs on youtube.
Aha, what do you know, I just found the theme song!  Ignore the dancing people, and just watch it.
Space Quest VBS Theme
You know now that I think about it I might be able to find the theme song from a few years ago in 2010, that was one of my favorites.  Son Quest Rainforest.  I'll have to check it out, after I get to listen to that above theme song all the way.  I've already added it to my likes!  On youtube you know...
I've got to remember to add my music to my likes, and my videos you know, like the ones with speaking, to my favorites.  Cause sometimes I want to listen to my whole likes list.
And here's my favorite non theme song to this years VBS.  At least so far, who knows, I might meet more that I like!
Countdown!
As you can see, it's called The Countdown.
Okay, so there's this most adorable preschooler named Brian (I keep trying to say brain xD)  and he has a twin sister named Faith, and a big brother named Trenton, and I don't know why their names are so important to what I'm about to share, but anyway...  His dad was/is in the Army, and so he was telling me this (though I kind of already knew it) and he's sitting there, and in an oh so sweet lil preschooler voice says,
"When da sun is down here, and we're asweep, it's shining in Iwaq, and de Army nevew sweeps."
It was soooo cute!
And tada!  I found the SonQuest Rainforest theme song!
SonQuest Rainforest
Anyway, now that you've heard my VBS stories of today...
When we got done from VBS Norma (my cousin that everyone thinks is my sister) and I went off to find the flag day medallion!
My town (she's from a smaller town, but is staying the week here because of VBS) has an anual Flag Day celebration, and for the past two years, and this year we have done a scavanger hunt.  They give us clues, and we go off finding this medallion, and whoever finds it first calls Mr. Leake, and then we get $500!
The lady who owns the Grocery Store, (An awesome lady, who is...awesome) teams up with me every year, and then Norma teams up with both of us.
If we find the medallion we split it three ways.  We could all use it!
Then after that Norma and I swam in Grammy's little pool at her house.
Then around 5:30 I headed to youth group, no one was there, so I headed home, then I headed back and there were people, and my awesome friend Jade!
Gotta love Jade!  We hung out all Youth Group, till time to leave, and here I am now!
Love y'all!
~Katie :)

Space Quest!

I had an AWESOME VBS today.  Soooo awesome.  And there's just this cutest little girl, and her name is Alexus, (and yes, it is spelled right) I want to kidnap her!  But I won't, because she's awesome, and sweet, and cute, and her parents would miss her.
I feel like so far, I helped more today then I did yesterday.  I guess because I'm starting to come out of my shell.  Yay for coming out of my shell!
Okay, I have like this whole thing going where I say, "Yay for ____" whether I like it or not.
A lot of the time I'm being sarcastic.
Like, "Yay for broken toes!" that would be sarcastic.  Or, "Yay for broken hearts!" or, "Yay for youtube loading slower than a snail!"  Stuff like that, that's what I normally say.  However, it really is "Yay for coming out of my shell!" because I can be sooo shy sometimes.
Yeah, I betcha didn't see that one coming!  No matter how social I am on the internet, or in my blog, I'm really shy.
People are just...frightening I guess.  Especially guys.
See here, I go, and then I get to know people, and either I'm hyper and social and annoying, or I'm shy and quiet, and mysterious (or maybe not mysterious,) until I get to know you.  Then you see the real me, who is more...sometimes hyper, sometimes social, a little more open, scared, and then there's the wounds/scars that very very very very very VERY few people ever see.
Especially not in rl.
Someone asked me why I could be more open to people on the internet that I've never met in real life, and yet have trouble opening up to people I know and love in real life.
I doubt that they read my blog, and since they're gone for a few weeks anyway, I doubt they'll ever see this post, but I'll still post the answer that I came up with.
When you open up to people on the internet that you don't know in real life, and are probably never going to meet in real life, the worst they can do is call you a freak, and never talk to you again.  While it may hurt, it won't hurt as much as it would if you told someone you know in real life, and loved, and trusted, and they said that you were a freak and never talked to you again.
Sometimes I'm scared to risk that.  Especially if I really care about that person, and need them.
And I also have trust issues.
Try getting me to do a trust fall is hard!  Just ask my friend Kayden.  He went through this stage where he would randomly fall, and I would catch him.  He would trust fall.  And it took him forever to get me to trust fall, because I was too scared he wouldn't catch me.
Oooh, if any of you would like an update on my bunny, (Serenity Jael (My last name) ) here it is!
She's getting sooo big, and she's sooo cute!  We went to Orchlands and bought her a big bunny cage/house, that's much better than the cat carrier she used to be in.
It came with a wooden hidey hole, a litter pan (which she uses as a bed) a food dish, and a little treat.  She's the sweetest, cutest, most adorable bunny in the world, and she deserves the best.
Well, I'm off to watch a movie, then probably mow, (ugh)
sooo see y'all later!
~Katie :)

VBS

Woohoo!  VBS at the Baptist church started today, and it's awesome!  The theme this year is: Space Quest.  We're learning about the simalerities between the sun, and the Son.  Well, at least that's what we learned about today.  The sun lights up the world, and the Son lights up our lives.
I'm a helper, helping with the four and five year olds.  They're so cute.  So far there's two that I think are really cute.
A little girl with blonde hair, and a cute little nose, kind of shy, with a sweet smile, and then another little girl also with blonde hair, but a lot more outgoing.
They're both cuties.
I was planning on taking pictures but I got distracted.  I'll try to take some tomorrow.
Right now I'm actually watching Nim's Island with my cousin Norma.
She's awesome. 
My cousin, not Nim.  Well actually, they're both awesome.  I can see myself doing stuff like Nim does.  The whole climbing a volcano thing, and the learning from birds, and turtles, and seals, and all that.
Did I tell everyone about my trip to the creek?  It was awesome.
I climbed rocks, and then slipped down the cliff once, so Mom hooked up a rope for me to hold onto.  Then I climbed up with the rope, and Mom helped me the rest of the way up once I was able to get to where she could reach me.
Kayden said I was crazy for taking the hard ways, but I guess that that's my way of challenging myself.  Some people see how long they can go without eating, see if they can beat everyone in their class in a race, or something like that.
Me, I challenge myself by doing hard things.  By seeing if I can sign the cards for my library cards faster than my librarian can stamp them, by seeing if I can type more words per minute than I already do, and by climbing hard to climb cliffs.  That's my way of challenging myself.
When I slipped down the cliff I cut/scraped my arm, and took some of the whatcamicallit off my finger nail, of my ring finger on my right hand.
But yeah, it was all awesome.
Anyway, more posts later ;)

Interviews

 Here's my interviews.  The first interview is from Tyler.

Tyler's interview, Age 19:

Me: What's your opinion on short shorts?

Tyler: That they're disgusting. And that they arouse way too much lust in men.

Me: I guess that means I don't have to ask the follow up question to that question. What about skinny jeans? Same thing for the same reason?

Tyler: Yup. And short skirts.

Me: Do you have the same opinion for tight and lowcut shirts?

Tyler: Define lowcut.

Me: Showing cleavage

Tyler: Oh. as long as it's not too much cleavage, I don't have a problem with it. But if half your breasts are hanging out of your shirt,then you need to get a new shirt.

Me: Mkay. Do you think that girls/women should realize the effect that they're having, and change the way they dress, even if it's just a little bit at a time?

Tyler: Yes.

Me: Okay, I can't think of any other questions to ask here. Thank you Tyler :)

Yup, I interviewed a Tyler, and a Tyrel....

Tyrel's Interview, Age 16:

Me: Okay, first off, what is your opinion on short shorts, and why?

Tyrel: Ummm.... They are okay but when women wear them without anything over them then it is rather provocative. Lol

Me: Okay..and skinny jeans? Same as short shorts, for the same reason? Or is that different?

Tyrel: Well skinny jeans are like you just took a bottle of spray paint and sprayed your legs with it.

Me: KIK! I love that way of wording it!!! What about tight shirts, or low cut shirts that show cleavage?

Tyrel: Tight shirts are quite revealing. It is kind of hard to focus on the girl's face with low cut shirts which the whole point of modesty is to draw attention away from the body and to the face.

Me: Okay. I have ONE more question. Do you think that it's the girls/womans responsibility to do all they can to dress in a way that will make guys look at their face instead of other features?

Tyrel: Yes but the guys (brothers, fathers, etc.,) close to those ladies have the responsibility of letting them know in a nice way that their clothes are not modest. And a side note: Modesty is more than just not showing skin.

Me: It's also the way you carry yourself. Right?

Tyrel: Well yes, and how you handle yourself around the opposite sex.

I so totally love knowing people with the same name and age as me!

Katie's Interview, Age 14:

Me: what is your view on short shorts?

Katie: They're comfortable at points.

Me: So, yes, and because they're comfortable? What about skinny jeans, and why?

Katie: They are way too tight they are really hard to get in and out of.

Me: Okay. What about tight, or low cut shirts? By low cut I mean cleavage showing.

Katie: I think it is annoying, and very nasty for a girl to have her cleavage hanging out. And tight shirts don't really bother me!

Me: Okay, one more question.

Katie: Okay.

Me: If you found out that the way you were dressing was turning guys on, and making them lust, would you do all you could to dress in a way that made it easier for them to look at your face?

Katie: Depends on the guy.... lol jk maybe I don't know. I think that decision would come if that happens, but more than likely yes

Me: Okay. Thank you

Katie: No problem

She wanted to have an alias, so, I gave her one, and yes, that is her real age.

Shanaynay's Interview, Age 12:

Me: What is your opinion on short shorts? And why the opinion?

Shanaynay: I think that we don't need to wear them. They make our dear men stumble and think thoughts that don't need to be thought.

Me: Okay. And skinny jeans?

Shanaynay: I think as long as they're not too tight it's fine.

Me: Okay. And tight shirts, or low cut shirts? By low cut I mean shirts that show cleavage

Shanaynay: Low cut is a DEFINITE no. Your boobs belong IN your shirt.

Me: Okay. Next question: if you ever found out that the way you were dressing was turning guys on, and causing them to lust after you, would you do everything you could to change it to where you WEREN'T effecting them in such a way?

Shanaynay: Yup. Anything else?

Me: Yeah, I just typed it up there. Would you like me to retype it?

Shanaynay: No hang on.

Me: Okay

Shanaynay: If I was dressing modestly then there's nothing I can do. I mean, I'm not gonna block myself from him because something about me turns him on. But if I was wearing something like a low cut shirt then I would definitely correct it.

He told me that he would like to remain anonymous, so I have respected his wishes.

Anonymous Male, 17-21:

Me: What's your opinion on short shorts?

Annon Male: on guys or girls?

Me: Girls

Annon Male: Uhh give me some time

Me:If you decide you don't wanna be interviewed you don't have to be. I'm trying to get guys opinions, and girls opinions about this kind of clothing, because of a "debate" that a girl and I got into

Annon Male: Okay-okay

Me: I need to find more guys to interview. I didn't realize till now that don't know very many guys

Annon Male: Okay, let me proof read this statement then I'll send it to you for my answer.

Me: Okay.

Annon Male: First off short shorts draws obvious attraction to the legs. You cannot expect them to be “unnoticed”. By wearing them you are indirectly asking men to look at your legs. I think it is important to know that if you have a boyfriend wearing these in public is disrespectful to your relationship as you are asking other men to look at your legs. You cannot get around the fact that you are show casing your legs to people whether or not you want to. I would continue to say that this is principle applies to being married, and even more severely because of the vows you took. I would also like to say that there is no pride in wearing them even if you’re single as you’re lowering yourself to the standards of hookers and prostitutes. Furthermore, it is not only affecting you socially but I believe it to be immodest and thus immoral. I refuse to comment on the attraction of such attire.

Me: Does that also apply to low cut, and tight shirts, and skinny jeans?

Annon Male: Honestly I would have to say it would, whether I would like to admit it or not.

Me: Okay, in that case, I have one more question. Do you think that it's important for a woman/girl to realize this, and take responsibility to dress modestly, and call more attention to their face, than their body?

Annon Male: Of course. Save that stuff till you're married. I heard somewhere that women are statistically more prone to date rapes than not when dressing immodestly. It is important for women to realize how they dress can affect themselves and others around them. In some cases, as mentioned previously, more severely than others.

Me: That was all I had. Thank you. Not only was this the shortest interview I had, this was also the most in depth interview.

My big brother's interview :)  I just had to interview him.

Donny's Interview, Age 18:

Me: What's your opinion on short shorts?

Donny: Can you specify?

Me: Short like the pant part can be anywhere from the length of your middle finger, or as long as your hand.

Donny: Well honestly, then it depends

Me: And why do you have that opinion?

Donny: If it's some random girl walking down the street, and she's wearing them, and she's hot, I'm gonna have a very hard time not looking for under 3 seconds. Actually if shes hot I'm gonna have a hard time not looking for under 5 seconds. But at the same time, if she has a boyfriend/fiance' or is married, I'm pretty sure he isn't going to want me looking at his girl. With my hormones, I'm not gonna NOT look.

But it would be better if she didn't have them so I'm not tempted. Basically what im saying is, that is for their husbands/boyfriends/fiance' only. It's fine if my girl is wearing them around me, as long as its MY girl, and its JUST around me.

Also, with short shorts, sometimes you see grannies wearing them, and that's something you DON'T want to see. I've also seen .... larger girls wear them, and, well, no, just...no.

Bottom line, only I see ONLY my girl in them. other girls, you're either too hot, too ugly, too old, too fat, or just not MY girl. Or too young.

Me: Okay. Does that also go for skinny jeans, or do you have another opinion on them?

Donny: Skinny jeans hmmm, yeah, pretty much. With exceptions

Me: And the exceptions are?

Donny: Grannies, no. You can wear jeans, but not skinny jeans. larger girls, I'm sorry, you call it discrimination if i say no, but, they are called "skinny" jeans, not "fat" jeans. I've seen them and they just, just....wear jeans, normal jeans. girls who are younger its not so bad. Girls who are around my age it's okay, and women it's okay up to 40, after that...eh no..... girls who are hot, umm be careful who you wear them around. Girls who are ugly, if you have nice legs, then its actually a plus. as for MY girl, don't wear them around me unless you want me to get excited. Oh, short shorts on mothers is a no, but skinny jeans is okay, up to 45. I meant 40, not 45

Me: Okay...What about tight shirts, or low cut (cleavage showing) shirts?

Donny: Same thing for the short shorts thing

Me: Okay, I have one more question

Donny: Okay.

Me: Do you think that women/girls, should realize that the way they dress effects guys like it does, and try to dress in a way that will make him want to look at her face, instead of other parts of her body?

Donny: Well yes, they need to realize how it effects guys, but the way they dress will still be up to them. However they need to know that dressing a certain way is going to get a certain type of attention. So it's all on the attention they want.

This is my brother's friend, who I randomly interviewed.

Andrew's Interview, Age 18:

Me: The first question is, what is your opinion on short shorts?

Andrew: ....if they're tight on a person then their slutty, if not its fine just don't wear them everywhere

Me: Okay..what about skinny jeans?

Andrew: their fine as long as they don't show them off everywhere, A lot of girls I know are doing that Me: Mkay. What about tight shirts, or low cut (cleavage showing) shirts?

Andrew: Those are the worst . every girl I know now are wearing those. I might be a guy but I

m a gentleman, and in my opinion girls shouldn't show off their body just to get attention.

Me: Okay, now here's my last question: do you think that girls/women should take the responsibility to dress in a manner that will make you want to look at her face, more than her chest? Or butt

Andrew: Neither. They should based on their personality, not their looks. Anybody can look hot on the outside, but it's what's on the inside that counts.

Me: That's true. Should they take the responsibility to dress to where guys like them because of their personality, instead of because they look like a slut?

Andrew: Correct

Me: Okay. Thank you

This is the interview of another guy that I consider my big brother.  Even though he isn't.

Benji's Interview, Age 31:

Me: What's your opinion on short shorts?

Benji: From what I have heard and read, Biblical modesty requires the trunk of the body to be covered from the neck to the knee (the arms are not part of the trunk). Based on that, short short (and most other shorts as well) are not acceptable.
Me: Okay, my next question is, what is your opinion on skinny jeans?
Benji: Modesty requires that the body be covered, and that the form of various parts of the body should not be revealed. Jeans that show the exact contour of a person's bottom and upper legs are immodest. This is especially true for girls since guys are affected by visual stimuli much more than women are. Me: Okay, does this also go for tight shirts, or low cut (cleavage revealing) shirts?
Benji: Yes. Shirts should also not be form fitting.
Me:Last question: Do you think that women/girls should be made aware how guys are effected by the way they dress, and take the responsibility to dress more modestly?
Benji:Yes, I do. While the responsibility for lusting after a woman does ultimately lie with the guy, an immodest lady does tempt the guy to be impure and therefore the lady has some of the responsibility as well. The Bible is very clear that we are not to be a stumbling block (something that causes someone else to mess up) to others.
Me:Okay, that's all I've got. Thank you!

My friend Bekah's interview.  She was the first girl I interviewed.
Bekah's Interview, Age 16:
Me: Ooookayz, here's the first question: What's your opinion on short shorts? ANd why

Bekah: Okay okay okay. How short do you mean? I think there should be a limit to how short your shorts are in public. I usually just go by if my mom will let me wear them in public because she's pretty strict about that stuff. But like, I have a pretty strong sense of modesty usually too, so you know.

Me: Okay, what about skinny jeans (like skin tight) or words on the butt? And tight or low cut shirts? By low cut I mean cleavage showing.

Bekah: Skinny jeans: I don't think you should wear jeans that are so tight they show EVERYTHING. I think it's okay to wear jeans that are that style, just not so tight they looked like you were poured into them.

Me: If you were told that the way you were dressing was causing a guy to get turned on, or lust, and he was NOT your husband, would you be willing to change the way you dress?

Bekah: Tight shirts: Again, you need to have a limit. I mean, it's okay to wear shirts that show your figure, but they shouldn't be so tight that you show everything. Low cut shirts that show cleavage: I don't think that you should wear shirts that are very low cut, especially if you have a lot of cleavage haha! And I really think that you shouldn't show ANY cleavage when you're very young.

Me: What about the answer to that last question?

Bekah: To the last question: Yes. I honestly would. I mean, the Bible says that if you cause someone to stumble, then you're held partly responsible for their sin. All us girls need to start taking more responsibility for the way we dress. Because it's not just about looking cute and wearing the latest fashion trends. I mean, that's all well and good, but you have to remind yourself of who's going to be seeing you wearing those clothes.

Me: Okay, thank you very much Bekah!

Bekah: You are very welcome!

I interviewed my aunt.  She lives in the Phippines, and married my uncle, so, yup she's my aunt!

Aunt Maricel's Interview, Age 36:

Me: The first question is what's your opinion on short shorts?

Aunt Maricel: Ohhh...I am not favor of women wearing short shorts in public...but I do wear it in a resort or beach..something like that...just for safety reason..because I also don't wear swim suit so I'm just wearing short shorts
Me: Okay, what about skinny jeans?
Aunt Maricel: The last time your uncle asked me to wear mini skirt in the mall, I felt so uncomfortable..I always see to it that no one behind me looking at my legs..so I didn't use it again...

Me: So would you feel the same way about skinny jeans?

Aunt Maricel: For me you can wear skinny jeans, but you need to wear a blouse that will hide our private parts...a blouse or shirt that will not let men concentrate on looking at our behind..
Me: What about tight shirts, or low cut (cleavage showing) shirts?
Aunt Maricel: Well..its all against church standard of clothing..so if I were you, don't wear those..just stay on the church dress code..and always think that GOD that is looking at you..so you wont wear those kind of clothes..

Me: If it came down to it, and you found out that you were turning guys on, and making them lust, would you do everything in your power to dress in a way that wouldn't do that?

Aunt Maricel: I'm not doing that..I want men like me for what I have inside, and what I am capable of doing..I mean my ability..and not because of my body. That's why I love your uncle..because when he saw me wearing short shorts inside the house and asked me that we will go out ..he asked me to changed my clothes...I know I am not perfect...and sometimes forgot about what I promised GOD about how to dress modestly..but I tried so hard to please him
Me: That's all I've got for you so thank you!

Emma's interview...

Emma's Interview, Age 18:

Me: Alright, the first question is, what is your opinion on short shorts?

Emma: I think they're tacky, immodest, and don't need to be worn unless you're in the bed sleeping. You might as well be wearing just your panties

Me: Mkay, and what about skinny jeans?

Emma:I like skinny jeans as long as the back of the jeans aren't like skin tight.

Me: What about tight, or low cut (cleavage revealing) shirts?

Emma: If they're too low I like tanks under them. Makes them stylish and modest. I don't like too tight of a shirt but fitted shirts are nice.

Me: Okay, one last question. If you found out that the way you were dressing, was causing men/boys to get turned on, or lust after you, would you do all you could to dress modestly, so as not to do that?

Emma: I dress modestly already so if its causing them to be turned on then they have a serious problem.

Me: Okay, thank you, that's all I've got!

Okay, her real name isn't Banana, but that's the nickname I use for her, because that's what I call her.  I think her real name is Miriam, but...I never call her that.

Banana's Interview, Age 18:

Me: Okay, the first question is: What's your opinion on short shorts?

Banana: They're fine once your butt cheeks aren't hanging out...

Me: What about skinny jeans?

Banana: I love skinny jeans...only on girls...as long as it covers the top of your butt...

Me: Okay.. What about tight, or low cut (cleavage showing) shirts?

Banana: I'm okay with slight cleavage, but if your boobs are bouta fall out your shirt/dress, get a jacket...

Me: Okay, and now for the last question. If you found out that the way you were dressing was turning guys on, and causing them to lust, would you do all you could to change that, and dress in a way that that wouldn't happen?

Banana: Yeah cuz I don't want a guy talking to me cuz he thinks he gonna get some, cuz he sure as heck ain't...

Me: Okay, that was all I had. Thank you

Banana: lol...you welcome

Of course I had to interview the woman who brought me into this world.

Mom's Interview, Age 39:

Me: What is your opinion on short shorts? And why?

Mom: Short shorts? They're very immodest, cuz' they don't cover anymore than underwear, and boxer shorts cover more.

Me: What about skinny jeans?

Mom: My opinion on skinny jeans? They're also immodest, because they don't hide anything either. And I haven't read the articles, only the titles, but uh, I've read the titles that say, “suggest” that they're not good for your health.

Me: How do you feel about tight, or low cut (cleavage revealing) shirts?

Mom: They're immodest. And...I don't like em. ~laughs~

Me: Anymore you'd like to add?

Mom: No.

Me: Okay. If you ever found out that the way you were dressing was immodest, and causing a guy to stumble, would you do everything in your power to change that?

Mom: Um...Probably... But I don't usually dress-well, I don't think I do anyway.

Me: Any side notes?

Mom: No.

Me: Okay then that's all. Thank you for letting me interview you!

Mom: You're welcome.

This is the interview of a guy I call Nono...  Because he told Banana that there was no way Noah could be given a nickname, and...well, she proved him wrong xD

Noah's Interview, Age 15:

Me: First question, what is your opinion on short shorts?

Noah: they suck

Me: What about skinny jeans?

Noah: acceptable but not my style

Me: Tight, or low cut (cleavage revealing) shirts?

Noah: Would kill my daughter if she wore one

Me: Okay, last question, do you think that girls should realize how immodestly they're dressing, and dress more modestly?

Noah: Yes

Me: Okay, that was it! Thank youuuu

I had my friend Bekah interview her friend Jacob, and here are the results.

Jacob's Interview, Age 17:

Bekah: What's your opinion on short shorts?

Jacob: I enjoy looking at short shorts on pretty girls, but not on other girls. Also, I don't see why girls wear them because they show off their body to guys and make them seem available.

Bekah:What is your opinion on skinny jeans?

Jacob: They are weird, in my opinnion! They are tight and unattractive.

Bekah:What is your opinion on tight, or low cut (cleavage revealing) shirts?

Jacob: Well I think that they are well, fun to look at, but it makes me think dirty thoughts about that girl and it makes some girls look worse than they would otherwise. Also, so many shirts are cut so low I can almost see girl's um, you know. It makes girls look um well less innocent and invites dirty thoughts.

Bekah: Do you think that women/girls should realize the effect they have, and try to change, and dress more modestly?

Jacob: Well-yes, if you don't want guys to always see you as a tool for sex or think about them romantically, which for guys involves sexual stuff then they should dress more appropriately. They wonder why guys try to date them when they don't want or always want sex, their outfit makes our naturally dirty thoughts worse!

And here's my interview.

1. What is my opinion on short shorts?
Answer: They're too short.  Okay, you can wear them to bed, or when you're with your husband, but please don't wear them in public.  My swim shorts are longer than those shorts, and my underwear is almost as long as them, so please, please don't wear them.  In short, I don't like them.
2. What about skinny jeans?
Answer: They're too tight, and really not comfortable, and I really don't want to see someone's butt, and legs squished, into jeans...  And yes I've worn them before, when playing dress up.
3. What is my opinion on tight, or lowcut (cleavage revealing) shirts?
Answer: I don't like them.  The skin tight shirts are too tight, but if they're form fitting, yet still loose I like them.  About the lowcut, I don't like bending over, and having guys see my breasts...those are kind of private, and I wish to keep them that way until I'm married, and I decide to become a stripper for my hubby.
4. If I found out that the way I was dressing was effecting guys negatively, and turning them on, would I do everything I could to change that?
Answer: Yes I think I would.  If I was already dressing modestly though, I think I might stay away from that guy, because apparently I'm turning him on by just being me.

Well, there's all the interviews.  I hope you liked them!

Hellooooo, Peoplez!

I tried to post this yesterday, and it did not work, so now I'm retrying.  This is my interviews.
Of course I have to get my "news" up first.
I'm gonna help with VBS!  For those of you who don't know, VBS means Vacation Bible School.  I'm not sure what I'm getting to help with yet though.
I was told by Miss Mona (the pastor's wife, my friend, and the woman in charge) to show up at 8:40 AM and I'd get a job.
I hope that I get to help out with  the third and fourth graders, because that's what my cousin Norma is in.  I love my cousin.  She's awesome.
Okay, now I'll post this post, and start out my interviews post ;)
~Katie :)

'Ello Poppet!

Hey people,
Turns out that I'm not going to be posting the interviews till tomorrow, or something like that.  I might have to wait till Monday, but the point is that they will be posted.
Today Mom, Kayden, Ronda, and I all went to the creek.  Uncle Danny, (my mom's uncle, so I guess my great uncle) owns land over by the country creek.
And I'm about the only one who calls the creek, the creek.  Everyone else in my family calls it the crick.
We went wading in the water, (part of it went up to my thighs!)  and Kayden got two leeches stuck in between his little toe, at the very end, and the other toe, side by side.
He went up on the cliff, away from the water to change into dry clothes, and Mom, Ronda and I all stayed down on the creek bank.
When we all thought that he was done we started to head up, and when I get back to camp, (Mom and Ronda were lagging) he's sitting there, going, "Katie, help!"  wrapped up in his towel, looking in dismay at his foot.  He's still in his wet clothes, and I am confused.
"Katie, I have two leeches, right there, on my toes!"
I come over and look, and omw, he's right!  Well, at least I think he is.  All I see is some blood...
Now I'M starting to freak out.  So I holler, "MOM!  RONDA, GET OVER HERE!!!"
Finally after they all get up here, Ronda takes a paper towel, and pulls the leeches off of Kayden's toes.  He's still bleeding, but they're off.
Then we finally went home, and I found about 5, probably more ticks on me!  Like seriously??  Go find someone who actually wants ticks!
Okay, that would be a total of -0 people, but still...
I had something else I thought I would post, but thanks to the the vote of confidence I got from Kayden and Ronda on the way home, I don't really want to put it up anymore.
The only people who actually gave me any confidence was Donny, and my Mom.  And according to everythign I hear now days, moms are supposed to not give you any confidence.  I think my mom is going against that trend.
Thank you muchly Mommy.
Well, I have church in the morning, and a movie to finish.
I didn't finish it because of "love life" stories with Kida.  Yup-yup, we were talking about our love lives.  Or for me lack thereof.
Trading guy stories.  Her's is so sweet <3
Okay, so I gotta go now, g'night lovelies!
Allybug, you have lovelies as my new nickname...
~Katie :)

Sorry :/

Dear blog readers,
I'm sorry to annouce that...
THE BIRD BIRD BIRD, B-BIRDS THE WORD!
Erm, actually no, I was going to announce that the interviews will be posted, tomorrow or...Sunday...may even have to wait till Monday.
BUT!  I have some interviews that I was able to get, so here are some exerpts that you will get to see!
I don't remember if I told y'all what the interviews were going to be about...  Well, they were going to be about clothes, women's and girls clothes to be specific, and how it effects guys.
Here are some excerpts for you!
This one is from Donny, my big brother, he is 18 years old:

Me: Do you think that women/girls, should realize that the way they dress effects guys like it does, and try to dress in a way that will make him want to look at her face, instead of other parts of her body?

Donny: Well...they need to realize how it effects guys...they need to know that dressing a certain way is going to get a certain type of attention. [I]t's all on the attention they want.

Here's one from a young lady who has the same name as me!  Katie!  She's also fourteen.

Me: Okay. What about tight, or low cut shirts? By low cut I mean cleavage showing.

Katie: I think it is annoying, and very nasty for a girl to have her cleavage hanging out.

Here's one from a twelve year old girl, named Shanaynay.

  Me: Okay. Next question: if you ever found out that the way you were dressing was turning guys on, and causing them to lust after you, would you do everything you could to change it to where you WEREN'T effecting them in such a way?

Shanaynay: If I was dressing modestly then there's nothing I can do.  But if I was wearing something like a low cut shirt then I would definitely correct it.

One last one from an annonymous guy, between the ages of 17, and 21.

Me:I have one more question. Do you think that it's important for a woman/girl to realize this, and take responsibility to dress modestly?

Annon Male: Of course.  I heard somewhere that women are statistically more prone to date rapes than not when dressing immodestly. It is important for women to realize how they dress can affect themselves and others around them.

Okay, now those were just excerpts.  That means that there will be bits and pieces added in there, when I post all of the interviews, but until then, feast your mind on what is posted here.

So far I have interviewed...14 people, and one of my friends is interviewing her guy friend on this one as well.  So that would make fifteen in total.

Of these people, 8 of them would be guys.  However, I'm also going to post my opinion, and some comments shared on a facebook page back and forth with a girl that I will keep an annon for her own safety.

Actually, if you'd like an excerpt of her comments, here's one for you right now:

 Her: I wear bikinis that show too much, I wear holey jeans that have holes that show my butt. I wear short shorts, low cut tops and very see through yoga pants. Okay? Y. O. L. O. And I'm gonna make it count if they wanna "lust" then they can lust alllll they want. Call me a whore if you want.

Yup...She really freaks me out actually.

And if you were wondering Y.O.L.O means You Only Live Once. 
In my opinion that's not always true.  If you're saved, you'll live twice.

I wonder...Should I interview her?  Nah, prolly not.

Anyway, I got some pretty good things from people, from ages 12, to 39, so that's quite an age difference.

I will answer every single question that I asked others, maybe even the one question I asked guys, and only guys.  *shrugs*

Well, Mom wants me to get the computer off.  I have a big day tomorrow.

Some friends and I are heading to the creek for a fun day of...fun....

I'll take pictures, don'tcha worry.

Oh, and I almost forgot!  Remember Serenity?  Cute little bunny?  We got her a bunny cage.  JUST for bunnies.  It's so awesome :)  She loves it.

And it even came with some stuff for her!  It came with a food dish, a bunny litter pan, a hidey house that she can jump on top of, and a little treat!

I'm about to go broke pampering my bunny.  I love my little girl.

I'm a mommy :')

Well, here's a song for you: Blessings

And then here's something to listen to while you listen to that song: RainyMood

The first one is a really good song, about God's blessings, and the second is rain sound effects, that go really good with that song in particular.

I might record myself singing the song.  I don't know if I should yet or not.

Alright, now I have to get off, before it's time to get up!

Love y'all!  Well, I might not know you, but God loves you, and that's good enough for me!

~Katie :)

GUESS WHAT?!

Okay, I'm doing a project.
I'm interviewing people, men/boys, and women/girls, about the way women dress, and all that.
It will most likely be posted tomorrow, so yeah.
Okay, this is really short, but, gotta run,
~Katie :)
