May. 21, 2009 - Stressing out!
I feel the need to rant.
I am totally stressing out about - everything.
This Summer will be the busiest Summer I've ever had before.
I have to plan when Molly and I are going to go to BM, when Heather is coming (well that's mostly planned) and when I'm going to meet Anna, which depends on when Molly and I go to BM.
*screams*
Then in July I I am going to be going to Bristol Renaissance Fair with Sylvia, Tinuviel, Eni, Mister Cool, Maddie, the whole group, really. That means I have to get a renaissance gown before then, which means I have order it sometime in June. My parents owe me the money from almost a year of no allowences (we both forget) but I worry about actually getting it between:
a) Me forgetting to make them sit down and order it, or me procrastinating
b) Them having the time to sit down and help we when I finally do remember, or stop procrastinating
c) Me actually remembering on pay day, no in right before pay day when my parent's will tell me to wait until pay day.
Besides that there is a bunch of stuff I want to get for my bunny. The poor thing has been sitting cooped up in a cage in the basment most of the Winter. I feel so bad, and I want to spend much more time with him this Summer - well, Fall and Winter too, but I can take him outside in the Summer. If I ever get a play pen for him that is.... That's the other thing. I want to get him a play pen, new cage (his is falling apart and it is a huge pain to clean!) and several agilitiy things for him. Rabbits can do agility, and I want to teach him. It will be a good way for me to spend time with him, and it will give him something constructive to do. But to do that I have to have a playpen for him.
When I usualy get stressed about things my philosophy is - hide. I dive head long into my stories and forget about all my problems. But that's pretty hard to do when my story is a part of the problem.
*sighs*
For those of you who don't know yet, I am re-writing Audra. Again. It has to high a concentration of romance. Not to say I have too much romance, I just need some other kind of plot to go with the romance. So I am re-re-writing it. I want to have it done before NaNo, so all it needs is editing, but I worry about getting done in time. Especially when I can't work on it till June 20th.
*sighs again*
Heather made me give her Emeric for a month. She says I need a break. I know I do, but I don't have time for one! I guess I'm like my dad like that, I just want to work on it non-stop until it's done, a plan that often causes a lot of stress...
So that is my life right now. Stressed. I need my bunny....
*goes to see what is for breakfast*

I am sorry, Katie! If it is any consolation I am gonna have a very busy summer too, with school, a job, writing, planning for our meeting next year, and this visit to my "uncles" place in CA. *sighs* OH, and I need to see what's happening with the Bristol Fair thing too! I almost forgot, thank you! Seeing as we're not moving yet (we didn't get the house) it may work out better....if not be a longer drive, now.
I think you do need a break on Audra. Lay back, relax, and wait until June 20th. Yes? Work on a different story. You're too attached to Audra, and that's always bad for a writer. You get too attached, you lose your perspective.
You have a bunny?! Cute! I have rats, I need to play with them more. Lately I've been so busy... Eh. And their cage is a horror to clean out. Three levels, and I built it myself (with some help from my father).... It's just blah.
Hope you have a good day, and don't stress out so much!
Love,
Anna

Take some advice for your SOS, get a good book (Baillot :D), go outside, climb a tree, and read for an hour, think of nothing else. Then climb down, go back home, and be thankful you are only 16 and not 22, you have MUCH more to do when you are old. Also, please don't procrastinate, it leads to DANGEROUS things, *Shudders as she remembers the book* I will buy it for you to read if that is a struggle of yours.
Maddock will be fine, take him for walks, set up something in your yard for him to run through till you get a new cage.
And, about the dress, when is payday? I will remind you to ask your parents.
And don't you DARE start in about re-re-writing! :D You know how many times I had to redo Hemlock? You are an author, not a writer, if anything you are a re-re-re-re-writer :D its what we do.
And, if you do not calm down and enjoy your summer like a good DLS I will send Jason and his funky chicken, and you don't want that, trust me. Also, I may have to ask Mattie to threat Maddock's life, *knows how to get at her DLS*
But really, what you need to do is get alone, maybe in the morning each day, go for a walk and watch the sun rise, or watch the sun set, and talk to God. Tell Him about all this, not us, He is the one who can help you. All we can do is send you chocolate and hugs and threaten the life of your hero.
Anyways, I'll pray for you, and continue to pester you when you are blue.
Your SOS *Wonders how much longer her DLS will think her sweet*
Heather
Wait...your going to the fair with Mr. Cool? Is that safe? Just kidding Mr. Cool, sort of :D

Jun. 2, 2009 - website (from another Katie Dahl)
Posted by Anonymous
Dear Katie,
We share a name! My name is Katie Dahl, too, I live in Wisconsin, and I'm a folk musician. I'm starting a website of my own and would really like to have the domain of www.katiedahl.com. I'm wondering if there's any way you'd be willing to part with it (I notice that you update that website much less frequently than this one). I can see you've done a lot of work on it, so I realize it would be a big deal, but I'd be interested in at least discussing the proposition. To make sure I'm legit, you can check out my myspace page (www.myspace.com/katiemdahl).
I'd really appreciate it if you could email me back either way: caitlin.dahl@gmail.com
Thanks for considering!
(the other) Katie Dahl
