Dancing Cucumbers

Hey people!  I'm at the library (big surprise huh?)  and there's this awesome lady at the next computer over that seriously looks like an author, but she said she isn't.  Maybe she's an undercover author.  Or an author with amnesia, and has forgotten she's an author because of a wicked wizard who has distorted her brain...I should write a book about that.
Anyway, thought I'd let y'all know that...I...might...just...have...a...job!!!
I'd be a waitress, or a waitress helper, and it'll be AWESOME!!!  I'm pretty excited.  Plus I'll finally have some sort of income!  You have no idea how happy that makes me!  I cannot survive on no income.  I'm an independent sort of girl.  I can't go running to people every time there's something I want/need.  I want/have to be able to buy it myself!  If I can't, it'll drive me absolutely batty!
Okay, so I figured that I should just go ahead and share some of my summer goals...so maybe I should rename this post, as it has absolutely nothing to do with cucumbers, dancing or otherwise....  Nah, I'm just weird that way, anyway, here goes, in no particular order.

• Read a book everyday, and if I don't, I can't get on a computer at the library, or any other library. (the books I've read so far have been 1. Gracelings 2. Unlocked 3. And suddenly I don't remember them all, but a lot of them are fantasy :p
• Get a job.  I appear to have done so.
• Publish another book.  It's finished, just needs editing, and a cover, then it will most likely be published....
• Write and film a movie.  I have the movie written, and I have almost everyone I need but a thug for the actors...now all I need is to go back through edit the movie script, and find locations to film at.  I should look up making a movie on google or something and figure out a few more little things or something.
• At school my English teacher wanted to know our plans for the summer, including family plans...so...I plan on NOT starting a family this summer.
• Sell something at the farmers market
• I thought I had more but I guess that's it...

Alright, I'm gonna get back to writing now.  Talk to y'all later.

Pictures!!!

I decided that it's about time I post some pictures...so here goes!

 You know how I said I had a baby?  A little orphaned kitten?  Meet RJ!  It stands for Ronja Jr, because he's orange and stuff like a cat I used to have named Ronja.

 Face view!  Someone doesn't like having his picture taken....

 Maybe he's hungry, maybe he just likes the sound of his own voice.

 My little fur baby.

 He calmed down a little bit...not too calm, but some.

 There we are together.  And do ya like my bangs?  Don't worry, my hair's still long, I just have shortish bangs.  If I cut my hair, they'd be as short as my bangs are now.

My mom wanted a picture of how long he is...I don't think it came in that well.  Right after the picture he started to climb toward me on my arms.

And here's a sunset.  To end my picture post.

I Have a Feeling....

I have a feeling that I will be at the library a lot.  Both to check out books and to get on the computer.  Did you guys know that The Princess Bride is also a book?  In fact, I believe that the book was written before the movie was made.  I highly suggest looking it up, especially if you liked the movie.
While the movie was amazing, the book was just as amazing.  It explained things in more detail, including how the sword for the six fingered man was made.  It had a few things in the Miracle Max scene that weren't in the movie, but then again, there were also things that weren't in the book that were in the movie.  The scene where Vizini dies is better in the movie, because you get to hear his stupid little laugh.  And you get more details about Buttercup and Westley's love in the book.
In my opinion the book and the movie are just too good to be compared.  They're better in their own little way, just like men and women.
Anyway, I thought you guys might want to know that.
I completely forgot my reason for getting on my blog and starting a post, other than to let y'all know that I'm alive, and still a Kansan at heart, because Kansas is still better than Oklahoma, so ha.  And as beautiful as Colorado is, Kansas is better than Colorado too.  And much better than Tennessee, even though I've never actually been to Tennessee....
Anyway, yeah, I'll just go back to facebook, howrse, and word document thingy....
See y'all!!!

At The Library

I've finally managed to get on a computer at the library, and the sad part is that I have to get reaquantied with the keyboard....  Not too much as I'm noticing, because keyboards are very hard to forget.
I can finally tell you guys some more in actual details, instead of just "Hi.  I'm fine.  I hate tablets.  I got to do this that and the other.  Okay, I'm tired of typing on a tablet now, so g'bye."
No pictures for now, but I can tell you this much:  I got a baby!!!  He's a kitten named RJ.  My grandma found him a few weeks ago after Katy Days, which is a celebration of the Katy Railroad, and so my mom and I took him in because we love kittens, and all other kind of animals.  The funny thing about Katy Days is that my name is Katy.  Katy Days was amazing!  Not only do they focus on the railroad, they also have a bunch of stuff from old timey days.  Like old typewriters!!!  I spent idk how long on the typewriters.  I love them.  They weren't electric, the ones I spent my time on, but there was one that was electric.  I didn't like it.  I don't like electric stuff when it's supposed to be non electric.
Must tell you quickly though, that I only have until my mom comes back from the storage unit to type to you lovely people.
I also made a friend!  Her name is Zena, and I first met her at Youth Group, but then I saw her as I was rollerblading (which I do on a regular basis just so you know) and stopped to say hi.  I also gave her a hug, because she wasn't at Youth Group the previous Wednesday.  Then we found out that we're both entirely crazy, insane, and awesome.  And she might be going to Youth Camp with me!
Speaking of which...it's coming up soon and I'm excited!!!
Boys, girls, friends, foes, church, people here and there, and food!
And my mom is here, so I gotta go.

A Post At Last

Blogging on a tablet is pretty hard.  But yeah, I have a baby, he's an orphaned kitten.  I also have a new baby cousin.  Her name is Jade, and I got to hold her. :)
I hate blogging on a tablet, so I'll tell you of my awesome friend Zena lata.
~Katie :)

Hmm

I was going to make a blog post, but I realized I really have nothing to say.

Rawr Be to Thee

Hey peeps. I promised my friend Ronda that I would make a post for her...and that's what this is.  I love you Ronda!  No one could ever sever our friendship, and no distance could keep us apart. We have been friends since I was seven...which is about eight, almost nine years...if a friendship can last that long...well, I betcha it could last even longer.
The same goes for my other friend, Kayden, and my other friend Karen, although I haven't known you guys as long as I have known Ronda, our bonds are strong, and I love you both, and you both make me laugh, and brighten my day, and keep me gong.  Without you three awesome people, I have no idea where I would be in this life.  A lot more depressed I can tell you.
Aside from my thingy to friends...I moved.  I am no longer a Kansan, but an Okie....
Today I went rollerblading across town.  All the way across.  Pretty fun, I feel invigorated.  I was pleased to discover that the roads here are good for rollerblading.  When you get on the other side of town, it gets a little rougher riding though.  I also found a hill that is fun to go down.  Less fun going  up, but fun going down.
I know that this is random..but my eye itches.
Anyway, I'm gonna run off...
~Katie :)
P.S. it might interest my readers to know that I am on the a and b honor roll in school ;)
I also thought you might want to know that I'm gonna be checking the comments, because of a spammer.

A Rather Interesting Day for Katie

Well...is anyone interested in knowing what I did today?  I cut my foot!  With a knife!!!  On accident!!!!!!  I even got pictures taken ^_^

Meet my foot!!!
I was outside, at my aunt's house, playing catch with my cousin, when I suddenly realized that the knife I'd brought with me was missing.... Now at this point, you have to have some vital information to understand why this is the most horrible thing ever.  It's horrible, because my knife was in a sheath, and my knife is not a folding knife.  It's more like a small dagger.  Well, I'm searching for my knife...and not finding it...so I go inside to alert my mom of this atrocity, then go back outside.  On the way back in...I don't really remember what I was doing, but I was walking back toward the house, when I tripped over something.  At first I thought that it was a stick, but I looked, and it was my knife, and my foot (which was bare, because it's nice enough out to go barefoot, and I don't like shoes) was bleeding.  So I sat down, and held my foot together, and sent my cousin into the house to get my mom, and now I'm sitting here with my foot propped up, feeling better, but I am pretty hungry right now.  And I really want to curl up with my foot under me right now.  It stinks.  I'm also on my aunt's computer because Keith (my computer) is still dead, and we haven't gotten a Keith the 3rd yet.  Depressing, I know.
My leg feels somewhat funny too now though.  I also don't want to get stitches.  I'm quite alright with no stitches!!!  We've got it butterflied, and if we really need to, we can use superglue.  And yes, on the picture of my foot, that is blood down near the bottom.
It's my left foot, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to wear closed toed shoes to school Monday.  Unclosed toe shoes is a big no-no at my school.  Honestly, half the rules there don't make sense.  Like you have to have long sleeves,--past the elbow--highschool girls can't wear their hair down, no hats in the building, no hoods, no sunglasses--although I don't understand why someone would want to wear sunglasses inside....  Yeah, a lot of strange rules, that escape my understanding.
So...how many of you like pictures of sunsets?

Well, you get one whether you like them or not!!!
Anyway, I'm gonna go now.
See y'all later!!!
~Katie :)

Mother's Day

As I don't know if I'll be able to get on a computer on or before Mother's Day, I'm gonna be making an...ode if you will to my mother.
She's amazing, and sweet, and beautiful, and gives into Katie pressure way too easily (sometimes) but is totally awesome.  She's an awesome cook, an amazing seamstress, and has taught me (sorta) how to sew like her.  She can crochet just about anything, and even if she doesn't have the most amazing relationship advice, she's always got a hug.
I really love my mom.
Mom, if you're reading this today...
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
~Katie

Picture Me This, Picture me That, Picture Me Dipptidy DEE!!!

Well, I'm gonna do some pictures today...hence the strange post title....  Anyway...let's start with my outfit today.  I know I haven't done that many pictures lately, because of the crashed computer, but today...yeah....
I present to you...my outfit!

Full view of the outfit in all it's interesting glory.

The "skirt" is actually a sleeveless open back dress, that I would feel horribly insecure in if I didn't wear something over/under it.  I got it at the local thrift store.  As for the shirt that's been worn over it, I got that for free at my school.  The socks I got at WalMart, and yes, I am quite aware that they don't match.  You may be interested in knowing that I also don't care that they don't match.  The headband I made.  I made it out of ducttape and two hair band thingys.

Just another picture of the outfit.  It may interest you to know that I bought the dress because it was all hypnotical and stuff.  CRAZY!  Psychedelic and stuff.  I love it.

I moved outside.  And no, I'm not wearing shoes.  I'm at my grandparents, and I rollerbladed over there, and didn't take shoes.

You can't tell me what to do.  I will just look off to the side, and ignore you.

And that's my outfit.  I mentioned my field trip, did I not?  Well, it may interest you to know that my friend Gavyn and I fight like cats and dogs...so this picture was the perfect description of our "relationship."

Now don't we look like best friends?

Me standing underneath an elephant head on our field trip.

This statue thingy just enchanted me...so I took a picture of it.

I'm sitting in a chair...kinda sprawled out.

The inside of an oil drillers kitchen...I think....  The pies aren't real though, so I don't get to eat them :'(

I mostly took this picture for the horses.  I'm bigger on swords and horses than guns.

This picture was definitely intended for the horse, 'cause there's nothing else in the picture xD

AIRPLANE!!!  Yeah...I'm done with the field trip pictures now.

Actually...I think I'm just plain old done for now.  I guess I'll talk to my awesome readers next time I talk to them...wow that sounded super stupid.

Oh and check out the blogs on the side of my posts and stuff...I'm loving Fresh Modesty.

For Lack of a Better Phrase: "I DO NOT LIKE SCIENCE PROJECTS!"

Have you ever felt alone?  Discouraged?  Sad?  Like shooting all science projects?  Well...I know that feeling.  I do not like my science project.  It's mean to me, and the computer won't print the stuff I need printed.  Even more reason to say my science project is mean to me.  Super duper mean.  It hates the ground I walk upon, and my guts.  Well, that's what it feels like anyway.  And while you may say that if I would just quit blogging, and get to work, I must reply, "I would have nothing to do if I quit blogging, because if I quit blogging I would be sititing here in frustration--more than what I already am-- awaiting the moment when my grandpa will be done assisting my mother in her project--not science--and find it in his heart to assist me."  Do you see my reason for blogging?
Yes you do.  Good
So.  I had my first field trip of the year this past Friday.  Pretty awesome, and me, AND my classmates, AND our teacher survived.  It seriously surprised me.  Especially the fact that my classmates didn't have a stinky farting contest, or attempt to play freeze out, or take my food--they probably knew I would bite them--or take my phone--which is actually my mom's--or be so extremely rowdy.  They were still rowdy, and it was super loud on the way there, and the way back, but it wasn't too bad.  I see myself both longing to go on another field trip with them, yet being glad that there won't be another field trip until probably next year.  Good yes?
I seriously just wish my printer would print!
Okay, back to the field trip.  It was to Wolaroc, the trader's encampment, and there were knives, and hatchets, and ooooooooh....I loved it.  I got a knife, and it's awesome.  I'll have to get pictures, but I make absolutely no promises.  I have learned that it's better to just not promise than it is to make a promise you aren't sure you can keep.  Bro. Todd said that they would leave me with the mountain men, and when we were done there, I probably would have taken him up on his offer if my mom would have been there too.  A my bunny.  And my kitties.
Speaking of kitties, my kitty Ducky had her babies!  I have grandchildren!  (probably the only ones that I will ever have as I have decided to become a protestant nun.  I know I've said that many times, and I will probably say it many times more, and all that, but seriously.  One of these days I will actually follow through. I mean, it's not like I have to live a life of solitude.  I just have to not get married.
If any of you guys are praying people, and if any of you think about it, could you find it in your hearts to pray for me and my friend.  We're having trouble in geography....
BOOM!!!  Big clap of thunder.
If I place with my science project, I think I'm gonna laugh.  Do you know how hard I've worked on it?  Not very hard.  Just as hard as I have to.  I don't like science projects!  I just don't!  They annoy me so much!  GAH!
My back is itchy.  Are your guys' backs itchy?
Okay, never mind.  Time for me to go yell at the stupid printer!!!
~Katie :):

Didja Miss Me?

Well, didja miss me?  I know, I've been gone for a long time!  I'm probably gonna disappear again later on.
So, I guess it's time for me to catch y'all up on my life, huh?

School News!!!

So, in English we've been working on these persuasive papers...I don't like them...to convince people (by using facts) what swallowed Jonah.  I do not like it.  It is annoying.  It is time consuming.  It's slightly confusing.  I doth not like it a bit.  Grr.  Yes, I did say grr.  Deal with it.

In Science, we've mostly been working out of our books, and planning for the science fair, (Which I am not thrilled about) with a ton of crazy hecticness from my classmates.

History--We've been working out of our books, which we've almost finished!  Woo Hoo!!!  Soon there will be no more History.  Of course after that we'll have to pick a country, and make a...paper?  Or maybe a power point, I'm not sure which, about it.  I've chosen to do Lesotho.  I don't know why, but I've always had an inkling toward that country.  It's a little country in the middle of South Africa.  I like it, but I don't know how.  We're also working on maps, ya know, putting the names and capitals on a blank map.  We're doing a world map!  I both like, and dislike maps.  It's confusing, I know.

Bible--Well...biblical stuff....

Journalism--I'm almost done with all my pages!  I just have to super scold Joe.  CRUD!  Crud a thousand times over!!!  I forgot to get Joe's number!  CRUD!  One moment while I quit crudding and see if Darrell is on to get Joe's number from.  No Darrell, but there's Bethany...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  Shoot me, kay?  YES I GOT HIS NUMBER!!!  (I need to get certain pics of/from him for Journalism)

Choir--We're practicing for the Spring/Easter Program with the Speech and Drama people, and I have a solo/duet in the play thingy!  WOO HOO!  Awesome fun, no?

All that awesome stuffehz....

It was recently my principal's birthday, so for Chapel/Assembly we threw him a surprise birthday, and there was cake!!!  I love cake!  So, anyway, I'm gonna tell a story I find awesome, and funny, so if any of the school board is reading this, don't go complaining to Bro. Brewer, because of what the only Freshman girl said about her classmates, okay?  I find it funny, so my classmates do not need to get into trouble.  *bangs head* people often want to go saying things that don't even involve them.  So...um...anyway, I had my cake, and my classmates Corgan, and Travis had their own cake, and I sat down, because it's hard to eat cake while standing.

Travis sat in the closest available seat, which happened to be next to me, and began to eat his cake.  Corgan stood behind us, and began to eat his cake.  (All the cake was very yummy by the way, if you care to know little things like that)  Everything was fine for a little while, then from behind comes this fork, and sinks itself into Travis' cake.  NOT Travis' fork either!  So he fends off Corgan, while the whole time Corgan is saying to make sure no one got cake crumbs or punch on his suit.  Seriously?  Finally, Travis gets tired of all this attempted cake theft, and moved way over by the wall.  I was close to the center.  Corgan decides to sit down in the closest available seat, which happened to be next to me.  All was well and good for well...about two minutes, then a fork darts out!  NOT MY FORK!  And it lodged itself IN MY CAKE!  So...I elbowed Corgan and somehow some punch (whether mine or his, I don't know) spilled...and got on his suit...and my skirt.  He threw a bit of a fit (and I didn't see him again till our next class) but I was chill.

Also...NEVER read Song of Solomon in my class.  I don't care if you are an awesome senior.  Just don't read it aloud.  My classmates are pervs....

I think that's all my school news :p

Me News!!!

In a way I guess all my news is "me news," but...well it's still different.  My church has been having revival...well, not now, but it was the past week.  Bro. Elmore was the speaker, and man, I think he's my favorite speaker, because he's got this awesome animated, crazy insane awesome way of preaching.  He can tell stories and stuff, but he always keeps it biblical, and he pretty much always gets his point across.  Plus his family are awesome singers.  It's like bluegrass I think.  I like that style.  Well, actually, I like every style...but...yeah.  Well...I don't like rap.

I've been doing a bit of sewing!  I don't have pictures *sad face* but I took some shirts (long sleeved button up) and cut part of the bottom off, and part of the sleeves, then I took some extra cloth, and made a flowy bottom on it, and long flowy sleeves.  I love it.  Well, them, I made two.  And a matching skirt for one of them!  I have a belt that goes awesome with the style that I've got, so I wear it.  It's a wide belt, with a cowboy like buckle.  I like it.  I already said that didn't I?

Anyway...I guess I had more school news than me news...so I suppose I'll draw this to a close.
