Letter to My Cousins

Dear Norma, Justin, Jaylee, Reilly, Adam, Jade, Lyric, and Skylar,
Some of you won't need part of this letter for a long time and some of you won't need part of this letter ever.  Some of you may not understand this letter until you're older, but that is okay.
First off...I love you.  I'm an awkward, strange human, and I'm scared of losing you, so sometimes I push you away, and for that, I'm sorry.
Second off...please listen to this, and actually listen, because maybe if someone had told me something like this and I had listened, then I would have saved myself a ton of hurt.
Don't ever date a guy unless you have been his best friend first.  And actually his best friend.  If you started out the friendship kind of liking him, don't date him, because it most likely will not last.  Also, never ever let a guy push you at all!  In any way, shape or form.  And if he does start to push you, dump his sorry butt, because he most likely will not change.
If a guy ever wants to keep your relationship secret, don't date him, because either he isn't allowed to date, or it's a tactic that abusive people use, where they isolate you from your friends.  Besides, if we're being honest, sometimes it's really nice to talk to your friends about your boyfriend sometimes.
If you are ever depressed (extremely sad, angry at yourself, especially with no apparent reason), anxious (extremely worried, for no real reason), or are even really happy about a random thing...it's okay to talk to me about that.  In fact, I'd love for you to talk to me about it, because then I can do my best to help you.
If you ever feel like you don't matter or that you aren't worth anything, listen to me now: YOU ARE WORTH SO MUCH!  You are worth a ton to me and you are worth even more to God.  If you ever feel like no one really loves you, come talk to me and I will do everything in my power to make sure you know I love you.
If anyone is ever hurting you or someone you love, come talk to me!  If I can't help get you and/or them out of the place that's making them hurt, I will at least try.
If you ever need prayers, ask me.
If you ever need a hug, my arms are open.
If you ever need food, come on over.  No promises that we'll have food you like, but we'll have food.
If you've just found an awesome new song (even if it's several years old) and you want to share it, send me a link!
If you ever have a secret, you can tell me and I won't spill it.  The only way I would spill your secret is if it would hurt you or someone else.
Please, please, please know that I love you.  I love you a ton and I want to make sure you're safe and happy.
Love,
Your cousin, Katie.

My Evening

My evening was well spent.  I went to a party at my Wednesday night church, with the youth group and we ate food (MAN WAS IT GOOD!!!) and played a few...interesting...games, including a game of Sit-down-in-a-circle-on-chairs Keep Away!  We also did some painting.

The boys did this one.  They did all the graffiti-ish stuff, but the word "Jesus" was already painted, but the brown around, one of the boys did.  Other than that, they did the "graffiti" stuff.  There were...four boys working I think.  Maybe five.  I think there were five.  A, K, R, C, C...five.  There were five boys working on it.

We girls were working on this one.  It's still not done.  We have a lot more detail than the boys though, because they were basically given free range to do whatever they wanted, we have more lines to follow.  I did all of the green, part of the blue and purple, and some of the rusty orange part.  There were two other girls working on it with me, and I must say, we did a fantastic job!

Then I came home and did this on my Facebook:

I seem to have a very eclectic taste in music. Here's metal, and goofy music, along with theme music, rock, possibly pop, country...so.... That's a thing. I won't tag anyone, just do it if you want.

1. Put your music player on shuffle
2. For each question press the next song
3. You must write the name down even though it sounds silly
4. Tag 20 friends
5. Everyone tagged has to do the same thing
6. Have fun!!
IF SOMEONE SAYS "ARE YOU OKAY?" You say?
Here it Goes Again.

In Other News....

In other news aside from my long post about what I want....today was the birthday of one of my bestest friends.  Yes, I said bestest.  I've said stranger things, and I'll probably say even stranger things.  He turned sixteen, and I managed to get him embarrassed at school!  I was super happy about that.
See, we have a principal, and he has a wife, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays she comes over, and is the chapel speaker.  Well, I told her that it was his birthday, and that she should royally embarrass him.  Sadly, she doesn't know him well...she thought that he would be hard to embarrass...au contrair.  He's easy to embarrass.  Especially with things like that.
ANYWAY...we've been studying the spiritual gifts in her chapel lessons, and so she went through a bunch of people that everyone at school knows, then she called him up there, and oooooh...his face!  He was so embarrassed!  And then a senior girl decided she knew him better than me...no offense to her...but seriously, she said, "Aww, he's just so quiet!"  And I go, "Quiet?  Quiet?  Uh huh...  He's not quiet!"  "Yeah he is!"  I shake my head even thinking about it.  Quiet.  Honestly.  No one knows him well if they think he's quiet.  Maybe he's quiet in chapel...but here's a newsflash--YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE QUIET IN CHAPEL.  And maybe he's quiet in a lot of his classes.  But, you have to remember, those teachers are the less lenient.  Get to Brother Todd's class...man...you have me sometimes wishing he WAS quiet.  I mean, the talking is fine...but some of the stuff that guy says....  If I had a dollar for every "woman," or "red-head," joke, or saying he said...I would be a very rich woman.  By woman, and red-head jokes, or sayings, I'm meaning things like, "Brother Todd, this is a defective woman, we need to send her back to the factory!"  or... "why are you such a red-head?"  or... "Woman, get back to the kitchen, I need a sandwich!"  Or, "Wow, when you get mad your hair...wow, it's like flames.  Are you okay?"  Or, "Quit being such a woman!"
Of course, I always have comebacks.
Here's how they go:
Him: Brother Todd, this is a defective woman, we need to send her back to the factory!
Me: Punch, or glare, or both
Him: Why are you such a red-head?
Me:  Oh, I don't know, I was born like this?
Him: Woman, get back to the kitchen, I need a sandwich!
Me:  You know, women can be other places than just the kitchen.... *punch*
Him: Wow, when you get mad, your hair...wow...it's like flames...are you okay?
Me: *glare*
Him: Quit being such a woman!
Me: I can't help it!  I am a woman!
Him: Katie, could you be a woman and do this for me?
Me: No!  Be a man and do it yourself.
....Yet he's my best friend.  *shakes head in disappointment at self*
So, I thought letting y'all know that would be nice.
NOW!  In other, other news....
I have been introduced to a wonderfully new fandom.  New to me anyway.  It involves doctors.  No, it's not Scrubs.  Or Grey's Anatomy.  Or General Hospital.  Do you guys give up?  No, it isn't House.  Stop guessing now.  It's Doctor Who!  And it is so wonderfully addicting, and I love it, and I miss the ninth doctor, and I miss Rose, and Donna disappeared, and I love the Doctor oh so much, and I miss him so very badly.  And I'm shutting up now, so that it looks like I went to bed at a semi reasonable time.

How Old am I?

When I was younger, like around 12, or 13, everyone thought I was older, like 15, or sixteen....now that I'm 15 almost 16, everyone thinks I'm around 13, or 14....sooo...how old do you, my wonderful fans think I look?

Me half smiling. 

Me fully smiling.

So, how old do I look?

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.
~Katie :)

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!!!
~Katie :)

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.
~Katie :)

Hmm

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

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 :)

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.

Hey...you wanna know what my life is about?  Well, it's about many things.  It's about struggling to survive, in a world where everyone wants to push me down.  It's about writing my feelings, my hopes, and joys.  It's about dreaming, and daring, and diving into the unknown.  It's about blogging to people who I hope read my blog, and get something out of it, other than just my crazy, hyper thoughts.  It's about having fun with my family and friends, and loving them.  It's about doing well in school, and watching as many movies as I can watch and reading as many books as I can read.  It's about writing books, poems, songs, and whatever else there is to write.  It's about competing to be in the top three with writing, and so many other things.  It's about feeling for the underdog, and figuring out who's actually worth my time.  It's about realizing how other people feel, and trying to treat them the way I would want them to treat me if  I was in their position.  It's about making sure everyone knows I'm crazy and hyper.
But right now, my main focus is writing.  Mostly because I'm writing right now.  I'm writing on my blog, and I have Open Office popped up to write a book.
I have the most awesome idea for a book.  But I doubt I should put it up on such a public place.  I don't want anyone to steal it.
I'm also watching a movie.  Sadly it's not a Barbie movie, because my Barbie movie won't play.
I like Barbie movies, but I'm not too fond of the super skinny, big boobed, blonde haired, blue eyed, multitalented doll that young children play with.
Anyway, I really want to write in my book, so I'm off like a banana peal.

Amazon Store
Also only $8.50 just from a different place.
Kindle Store
Only $1.00 for a kindle edition!
Buy it, read it tell all your friends!
Once you have bought and read The Unnamed Legend, please proceed.
I am assuming that whoever is now reading this has either ignored me, or has done as I commanded.
So, as you read in the title of this post...I said something about movie making...now the question is...am I running my fingers again, or am I really movie making?
The answer is...I hope so!
I have gotten it in my head to make The Unnamed Legend into a movie!  I already have actors and actresses to play the following roles: King Stephan, Queen Genevieve, Dawn, Amanda, and Arik.  And I have someone who said he could probably make computer generated lava beasts, and gobarts!
I still however need several horses, people to dress up as knights, a Shetland Pony, and a bunch more actors and actresses.
My mom said she could do some of the costumes, but you know, you can always use more people to make costumes....
I also need a better camera, and a camera man, although I know that a few of the actors and actresses could run the camera when they're not there.
I need a bunch more equipment, and knowledge and stuff...but I can do it!  (I think)
I need locations...a castle...well, three actually, with one of the three crumbling, chickens, cows, a free empty meadow to run around in, food for the cast, and money to buy all this stuff, DVDs to burn the movie on, and people to tell me how to make a movie...because I honestly don't know how.  Aren't I awesome?!
No not really, I know, I'm just crazy, and have dreams and hopes that will most likely be dashed upon the rocks like they often are :/
Oh, and I have some news about my flash drive!  I might actually be able to get the data off of it at least.  My English teacher said that one of my classmates might be able to get the stuff off.  Now if I could only get up the guts to ask him.  It's strange that I should have to get up guts, because I'm not really this shy person.  I guess I'm just scared he won't be able to get it off.  And that would make me cry or something.
Anyway...I really gotta go to bed, because it's 11:35, which is closer to midnight than 10:35.
So...goodnight.
~Katie :) <3

MAJOR PRAYER REQUEST!!!

My flash drive is NOT connecting to any computer, so please please please pray that either we can get it fixed, or get the files off of it.
The stuff on the flash drive is basically my life.  Every picture I've taken, and almost every story I've ever written is on it.
Thanks guys.

Happy SAD!

No, I'm not being bipolar.  I'm wishing you a happy Single Awareness Day.  Otherwise known as SAD.

Valentine's Day

So...people's views on Valentine's Day changes with whether or not they are single or not.  And if you're in a relationship whether your relationship is going well or not.  And it also changes with age.
When I was little I didn't really care.  It was just a day to give hearts to my friends and tell them Happy Valentine's Day.
As I got older I wondered what it would be like to get a Valentine from a boy that wasn't related to me, and now, I'm kind of pessimistic.
Valentine's Day seems like the day when the singles get teased for being single, or have people try to convince them to ask out that really cute guy who sits next to them in biology.  (for the record, I'm not in biology, and the guy who normally sits by me is not really all that cute.  Except to his girlfriend.)
When you're in a relationship you apparently love Valentine's Day, and if you're one of my classmates, you ask two girls what to get your girlfriend for Valentine's Day, and they instantly go, "Chocolate."
When you're not in a relationship, you just want to wait for the chocolate sales, then buy all the left over Valentine's Day chocolate and eat it up, to devour your sadness.
Those are pretty much my thoughts on Valentine's Day right now.
What is my opinion on Valentine's Day?  Give me chocolate, and maybe I'll tell you :P

Helllooooo Nurse!

Don't ask about the title...I was trying to come up with a post title, and then I thought about Anamaniacs, and...well, that's what Yakko and Wakko say when they see an apparently good looking girl.  Or woman.  Or nurse as it is often, which is why they say, "Helooooo nurse!"
So anyway, yesterday I talked to a British guy walking his cat.  It was pretty awesome.  I want to walk my cats.
Today I want to talk about education.  Not school, education.
It's important right?  People need to know how to read, write, do basic math, ect, but so many people drop out and fail, and things like that.
I think that everyone should be able to be homeschooled for at least preschool through kindergarten.  I know not everyone will agree with me, but from the mouth of a former homeschooler, and a now privateschooler...HOMESCHOOL IS GOOD!!!
Does it mean that you're not socialized?  You know...if you're homeschooled, and away from all the wonderful influences that bullies, druggies, and people who just don't want to learn?
WELL!  For your information, the word socialized, which is a dirivitive of the word socialize means this:  1. To place under group or government control. 2. To make friendly, cooperative, or sociable. 3. To convert or adapt to the needs of a social group. 4. To take part in social activities.
Well, if you're wondering, I've always been quiet welly socialized.  I want to know what the public schooled kids argument is...
I mean seriously, when you're homeschooled, you have time to actually get to know who you are, and what you believe, without getting picked on by bullies...unless you have younger siblings who constantly poke you, or cousins who come over to poke you...but that's not really classified as a bully is it?
When you're in a public school, you're gonna get picked on.  Even in a private school.
And if you want to keep your child innocent, by all means send them to a public, or even private Christian school, because none of the people there have dirty minds, and none of them there would ever think about repeating disturbing jokes to you child, and of course none of the third or fourth graders there would ever sing a suggestive song, and 5th and 6th graders have conversations about sex, and boobs and stuff...
Take a hint...THEY DO, AND YOUR CHILD WILL NEVER BE INNOCENT AGAIN!
Granted, even when they're homeschooled, there's this dratted, yet awesome thing that was invented...it's known as google...anyone can google what a hickey, and if you look up certain things, you can, and sometimes will get pictures of shirtless, braless women.
Honestly, there is no innocence anywhere, but you'll keep you child more innocent than if they go to a public or even private school.
Anyway, moving away from the innocence topic...do you really want people that you don't really know implanting ideas in your children's heads?  I have calculated that I now spend more time with my classmates and teachers than I get to spend with my amazing mommy.  Do you honestly want your little kids away from you that much?
Humph.
There are pros and cons to being homeschooled, and public/private schools...I made a list: Pros and Cons
Well...I need to get off my soap box...and get to work and stuff.
See y'all!
