Softball and Bible?

I've joined my church's softball team (apparently in the summer, all the churches in the area put together softball teams, and play each other...it's pretty fun,) and we just had a game yesterday.  Well, actually we had two games...and guess what...out of those two games, we're undefeated!!! In losing....  Anyway, I was out in the outfield...and I was thinking...I know, thinking is very dangerous, but I seem to do it anyway....
Anyway, there I was...out in the outfield...thinking.  And it came to my mind that friends are important. And life is kind of like softball....
You're out in the outfield, and you have teammates, then someone  comes up, and hits a ball, and everyone has to scurry to get it, and throw it to base, and get that person from the opposing team OUT, so that your team can score and win and all that stuff.
Well, in life, you're out there, in the world, and you have friends, (I hope, if you don't comment on here, and I will find a way to communicate with you.  E-mail or something, because everyone needs a friend.) then there's other people who love to mess with you, and hurt your feelings, and it's like they hit a ball way out there.  BUT you have friends, and your friends hurry to get the ball of their cruelty, and get that mean person out, so that you can win in life.  Kind of...this made more sense in my mind.
But think about if you played softball by yourself against the opposing team?  You would pitch the ball, the person would hit it, and then you'd have to run and get it, but it would be so far away, and then you'd have to run back in with the ball to tag the runner, but because you were out there so long, and had no one to throw the ball to, that team would make homerun after homerun...in fact, it might end up so bad that you never ever get to go up to bat.  And if on the off chance that you do get up to bat, you're going to be so tired from all that running around after the balls they throw, you won't be able to hit it, and if you do hit it, it won't go very far.  And then you have to worry about getting yourself around all the bases, because you have no teammates to hit you to the next base, but you never even make it to the base, because you collapse, and can't make it.  Then you're out, and you have to bat again, and again, until you have three outs, and you're the pitcher again, and you're just gonna keep losing and be sooo tired when you get home, you won't even wanna take a bath and change your clothes you'll be so tired.
That's kind of like what life is like without friends.  If you get bullied or something, you don't have a friend to go to, who will help field the mean comments, you'll have to field them all yourself, and the bullies will keep scoring against you, tearing you down word by word, making you doubt your self worth, and you have no friends to tell you that it's all a lie.  And if on the off chance there's ever anything you do better than the bully, the bully's just going to find a way to make it seem like your gift or talent is worthless, and you'll get tired of trying, and you'll find yourself dying emotionally and mentally, and when you finally get away from the bullies, you're not going to have the mental and emotional energy to deal with life.  The littlest thing will send you spiraling into depression, and you'll get snappy and all that....all because you have no one to go to to be on your team for the game of life.
Playing softball and being the only person on your team is also like not having God.  Although sometimes you'll get depressed with God.
Yeah...there you go...you know...I should really make a video about all that....NO ONE ELSE MAKE A VIDEO MY IDEA!!!  GRR!!!  I CALL COPYRIGHT ON IT!!! ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©by Katie Holm a million times.
Okay, yes, that is my idea please don't use it.  Even if you are my friend.
And if you don't have any friends, or don't know Jesus please contact me.  I'll be your friend.  I'm a very friendly person.  I can be annoying, but I'm also friendly.  I annoy Deana, because I'm too bubbly for her Melancholy personality.  See, I'm a sanguine.  And I just lost y'all didn't I?

Link #1

There's a link to something about them.  It's the best thing I found, but I was going to put more.  Hence why I call it #1.
Anyway, I just wanted to let y'all know that I am in fact alive, and stuff like that...and give you a...well, allegory I guess?

I Have Returned...continued

I must say that I completely forgot about Timmy being on my team.  He was a pretty good athlete too.
Back to the girls!
Theresa: I didn't really get to know her very well, but she seemed okay.
And you guys know all about me.
I had a total blast at camp, and I met a person from the town I moved to!  Yes, he's a guy, no, I don't have a crush on him, and no, I didn't get a boyfriend at camp.  Just sayin'.
His name is Harley, but I used to always try to call him Gideon, because last year, he showed me how he drinks when he's out hunting, and it was the same way Gideon's men that he kept drank, and stuff like that.  So I had it in my mind that his name was Gideon, but it's actually Harley.  And the way I can always remember it is to think of motorcycles.
He's a pretty cool guy.  We hung out yesterday, because he was bored, and I was bored, and I had a cold, but he was okay with me hanging out with him anyway.  And then this morning, my mom and his mom (who met yesterday and really hit it off.) went on a girls morning out, and I hung out with him and "watched" his little brothers with him.  In reality, I watched him play a video game, and took a nap.  Well a sort of nap, I never really fell asleep.
His little brothers are kinda cute and funny.  They really want a free puppy from next door, but their parents won't let them get any, so they smuggled a puppy in the house, then I tried to help them take it back, and it didn't exactly work....
And now I'm at the library watching Despicable Me 2, and blogging.
And tomorrow is my first church league softball game.  It's gonna be AWESOME.  The first game was actually last week, but I was at camp.
Anyway, I wanna go write a book now.  Goodbye.

At Last I Have Returned!

I'm finally back from my wonderful youth camp.  And I already miss it.  Well, maybe I don't miss camp but I do miss the people there.  I don't miss getting up early, or playing volleyball, or having to remember to turn the fan in my dorm room off.  I quite enjoyed my sleep in this morning.  I don't miss getting sunburns, or kitchen duty, or dorm duty, and I definitely don't miss prep/serve, because I have to wait forever to get to eat, which is super super sad.
I'm very hungry right now.  I forgot to eat before coming to the library.
I'm also watching a movie while I type on my lovely blog.
Okay, so back to camp....
I'll start with my team.  The sponsors were really nice.  I liked them.  And we actually had a theme song for our team :)  It was: The Wise Man Built his House Upon the Rock.  And, if we said these four verses, we would get four dollars...I said the four verses.
And my team was: Leevi, Brett (the same one I had on my first team,) Michael, Dan, Jeremy, I feel like I might be forgetting someone...but I don't think so...for the boys.  And the girls; Emma, Bridgette, Martha, Theresa, and me.  I shall now give you a short camp biography of each of my teammates.
Leevi: My friend's cousin, who can play guitar, and can play guitar behind his back, which is pretty cool, though I haven't seen it yet, but he's gonna get me a video of it someday.
Brett: He goes to my school--or I go to his since he was there before me--and he's pretty athletic and stuff like that.
Michael:  He's a little guy, but he's actually 14, and he's kind of sweet, but no, not that kind of sweet so you know, because I don't like him like that.
Dan:  College guy, from Penn View Bible Institute, tall, dark, and handsome would be a good way to describe him and his eyes are amazing.  Although, I will also say that he's got a girlfriend who flew to...Romania I think.  He's also a good athlete.  If we were allowed to vote on college guys for the All Stars Game, I would totally vote for him.
Jeremy: He's the most awesome guy ever.  He was homeschooled his whole life, and is from Union Bible College, and he's the lead singer, and was afraid he was going to have a bad cold which would be bad if he was the lead singer.
For the girls:
Emma: A pretty good athlete, and the niece of our sponsors.  And stuff like that.
Bridgette: She's one of my best friends at camp, and she's a good therapist, and she's really good at giving shoulder massages too.  I wanted to kidnap her and bring her with me and stuff.
Martha: She's a really sweet girl.  So sweet.  Kind of quiet, and she gives the air of a shy bookworm.  Although I like bookworms.  She gave the most amazing testimony.
...to be continued do to library closing...

Rawr

Hey, sorry I've taken so long to get another blog post up.  I've been writing, and stuff like that.
I discovered that I can watch Touched by an Angel online, so I'm pretty happy.
And futhermore, Youth Camp starts soon!  I am so excited!  And happy!  I haven't been to Youth Camp since...last year...but still!  I've missed it!
So, on Monday, off I will go and find meself some friends.
I even bought snacks just for it!  Crackers, and poptarts, and gummis, and there were some other things too....but I don't remember what.  And we also got gatorade :)
Yup, I'm happy.
Yesterday was Independence Day, and it was fun too.  The fire department had a hose, and it sprinkled,  and I ran through it, and it was so fun!  I got soaked.  It was fun.
Well, just thought I'd check in with my blogy friends.

Greetings From Pluto!

You guys will never guess where I've been the past few days!!!  I've been on a spaceship!  In outer space!  I got this coupon in the mail last Wednesday, and it said that I could get on a spaceship!  I didn't wanna tell anyone, because I wasn't sure if it was a spam or not.  It wasn't!  And I got to pick my destination for where I was gonna go! :)  Since by blood I'm a Plutarian, I decided to go to the (now) Dwarf Planet of Pluto.
So, can you guess where I am now?  That's right, Pluto!!!  (If you believe me, good, if not, just play along, a girl's got to have some fun with her imagination)
It's cold, but thankfully, I remembered to bring a coat, and lots and lots of blankets.  Considering I originated from there, I can still breath fairly well up there.  Well, about as well as I can in Colorado, but that's not very well.  A little bit better than I can in Colorado.
The worst part is the cold.  I can't seem to get back into the Plutarian habit though.
I guess you guys probably don't know what that means, but you see how it's freezing on Pluto?  Well, because of that we have to snuggle together to keep warm, which is why if you meet a Sanguine, they're probably from Pluto.  Some of them are natural earthlings, but not all.  If you don't know what a Sanguine is, go here: Link #1  Link #2
But anyway, while I was on Pluto, I found a friend with a computer.  Turns out they have a lot of video editing software.  Oh, his name is Sabin, just like my stuffed dog!  Pretty cool right?  Yeah, I thought so ^_^  He's actually kinda cute, but he doesn't like his picture taken, so no picture of Sabin :(
Well, I gotta go, it's time to eat, and boy do these people make gooooooooood food!

Farmer's Market

Hey y'all!  I was at the farmer's market, but I left, because the library will be closing at two today, so...not as  much time to work on movie stuff, and this new book I have an idea for.
But, I thought I'd pop in, say hey, and ask if anyone knows where I can get a thug.
~Katie :)

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.
