One man's fashion should not rule that of another's! - Jane Austen

ok...so...um...yeah

hello ya'll out in the blogger world! I haven't written in a while so here goes nothing with the updates!

so the most recent thing of consiquence would be that I just got back from camping up at Fallen Leaf lake! It was a blast! my good friend took me sailing and i went kayaking with my friends and went on a bike ride (which, even though my right STUPID shoulder witht the riddle no one can figure out died twice, was a blast) with just the guys, and laughed a ton! Chris and i even got to sink Tyler in Woosy Feet Cove! The reason for the name is because the bottom of the cove is muddly and, if you stop to think about it, is sorta gross but i didn't think of it and stood fine! Tyler, on the other hand, did think about it and there was the rumor that snakes lived in the cove and he doesn't like snakes AT ALL! He wouldn't get out of the kayak so...Chris and I got the kayak and sunk it!!!! hehehehe! It was hilarious! Even after we got him in the water, since he had his life vest on, he just floated around. I don't think he once set foot on the bottom of the cove!

so there is a blah that i can't really resist anymore! here it goes!

She huged her knees in the rain with her face upturned, letting the soft rain soak her face. The sweet smell surrounded her and thunder rumbled through the skies and through her body. The statue she leaned against was of the goddess Athena, her favorite of all the Greek goddesses she read of. They had designated this spot as a meeting before he had ben sent away. She hadn't seen him in more then a year and oh! how she longed to see him. Her father had permited them to marry only a week before he had been sent away by the king. there had been no time to hold the wedding before he had gone. She had begged to go with him but the mission was secret and for him alone - there could be no one else.

They had met at this statue. She had been reading and he had been bugging her. They continued to bump into one another by accident and soon it began to  be on purpose.

She waited impatiently, getting up every now and again to pace back and forth in the rain. The sound of hoof beats made her heart leap into her throat and a familar shadow came out of the grey. A smile stretched across her face and she ran to him. She lept into his arms and he buried his face in her red hair, loving to be able to hold her again.

Ok, so that was a little girly-er then normal but hey! i wrote down what was coming into my head!!

see ya'll!

anyway, hope you like the videos and such!!

kate

not sure why...

nothing much

There is apsolutely nothing going on here! My family and I have gone and come back from seeing my grandparents in Washington. It was OK-I like being at home just because its familar. I've moved so many times that i hate leaving. When I'm married, I'm staying in one place!

Its sorta funny because some of my friends wish they could go to different places and don't think its all that great staying in one place all their lives. I think its awesome-you have time to make life-time friends, know the town better then anyone else, you never leave friends behind, and so on. guess that saying "grass is always greener on the other side" is true! :)

so my mind isn't really here so, here comes another blah!!!!!!

The rain poured down, drenching the earth and the one unlucky person who was outside:Fawna. She had been traveling for days on end, with only her hawk, Horus, as a companion. The night was freezing; it was the kind that brought goosebumps up instantly! Fawna growled at the sky as hail started pecking her. Her black stallion wuffled in anoyance and bucked a tiny bit. Urging him forward, Fauna prayed that they would find a town sooner the later.

Thankfully, it wasn't-lights flickered about a mile away. New energy flowed through her  veins and a gallop was brought about without any urge and she was riding through town in a heartbeat. The only thought going through her mind was  warm room, a good meal, and a hit bath! she dismounted outside the inn of the Dragon's Belly and handed the reins over to the small stableboy. Shaking her  cropped hair out like a dog, she went inside with Horus on her shoulder.

It was the best thing to see after traveling: a warm fire in the hearth, laughing people smiling over their tankards, and a very large inn keeper with an even larger smile on his face. In smite of how cold she was, Fawna smiled.

"Me names Harker; how mer I help yer, Miss?" the inn keeper siad cheerfully.

"Room, food and a hot bath, please!"

"Right away, ma'am!" He tipped his head and belowed to the back, "Jacky, get this miss a room and dig up the lady some grub!"

Fawna trudged to an empty table where she could easily see the entire room and all the inhabitants. A steak and large potatoe was brought to her along with a large mug of ale. she wolfed the food down, laid a gold coin on the table and disappeared up teh stairs to her room. Horus flew to the bed post as she headed straight to the bath.

Behind the screen was illuminated by a single candle and the sounds drifted up from downstairs. fawna sank into the water and shut her eyes, letting the water soak away all teh mud from travel. For the first time in two weeks, she was realxed.

It was still three days to the Palace: one day at sea and two over land. She couldn't wait to see her father, King of Gaytectin! She had been gone for so long and had so many other things on her mind that she had forgotten how much she missed him. Llevar would be waiting for her, of course; the only thing she did not look forward to was the duties of the palace. She pushed those thoughts away and enjoyed the soothing heat.

she groaned as she pulled herself out the now cold water, dried off and crawled into her soft bed. Slipping into a dream, Fawna slept peacefully.

A crash woke her to full alertness. Shouts from downstairs told her that something was wrong.

thoughts!

so this weekend when dad and sis were camping, my mom and I hung out! We just watched movies, drank coffee in teh morning and so on. We also watched movies-old and new.

The new one we watched was Over Her Dead Body. Its about a physic who is 'helping' this guy who's fiance died on their wedding day. During the time she's helping him, she starts him, he starts liking her and the rest would be history...except there's a ghost problem. The fiance's ghost isn't to happy with the whole situation and does all this hilarious stuff to freak the new girl out! Its very funny but something in it annoyed me!

THis thing would have to do with the girl's best friend who she THINKS is gay! When we started watching it, mom and I were like "OK, why does he HAVE to be gay!?" arg! But then when the physic and the main guy break-up (we all knew they would-what point would there be to it if everything went completely smoothly?) She is getting comforted by her 'gay friend' when he kisses her. Turns out she only thought he was gay but he's really not! The reason she thought he was gay was because he never tried to kiss her until a week after they had met each other. She basically shot him down just when he was about to kiss her by saying "I'm so glad i have a gay freind-I could never be this comfortable with a straight guy!" I just thought that that was completely retarded that she thought he was gay because he didn't try kissing her right off! Its retarded! Just goes to show you that most guys (not all) in society today are fast. It used to be that you didn't kiss someone until you were either engaged or married.

I have a friend who wants her first kiss to be her wedding kiss. You know, when the preacher says "You may  now kiss the bride!" That will be her first kiss! I think that is really cool! She has told me that some people think that is just strange and unrealistic! STUPID!!!

This may just be complete babble and I may not even be making my point to ya'll very well. I hope ya'll understand what I'm saying! comment please!!! thanks!

kate

mom's orders!

ok...so I need demands! My mom has decided that I can't post anymore on this blog. She is afraid that someone will either steal them or that if I post them on my blog, why would there be any point in buying them! So comment saying how much you 'need' this story! I want to keep going and get all the comment. Its been great and I don't want to stop! The comments are encouraging and helpful!

So until I post again!

kate

blah again!

maybe I should BLAH more often hehehe!

thank you hannah! You are so awesome and make me laugh SO much! Some of the things you have done have greatly influenced me as well! why do you think I haven't done a Mikat type thing?! just kidding!! love you too, LAvadin!!

and the 'simple dagger' is the one you made, Chris!!! hehehehe but I'm not really starting another book. Its just something that popped into my head that I went with. I have a ton of short stories that I wrote a LONG time ago! You'de probably think they were hilarious! I wrote them when I was like 7-ish! hehehe

so i think I will go on with the thing I started. Its just sorta something that popped up into my head so....!!! maybe this will be something new UI write! Book two!! hehehehehehehe

~~~~~~~~~~

Kate seated herself at the bar, looking warily at those around her. One thing her travels had taught her was to always keep both eyes open and look ahead. The grim bar keep came over to her, scrubbing out an extremely mucky glass; the rag he was scrubbing with wasn't much better.

"What'll it be?"

"Water." Kate grunted with no emotion in her voice. The bar keep poured some grey water into the mucky glass and slid it across the counter.

"Anything else?"

"Your name and the whereabouts of Cruaf Hatcherson."

"Name is none of your business; I own this place is all you need know. Hatcherson would be no where I want to be."

"Anything a bit more helpful?"

"Center of the town, on Breaol. Shouldn't have a problem with him but don't make that man mad; he'll kill you before you can even pull the blade. Never seen anyone faster!"

With a nod of thanks and a flick of a coin, Kate was making her way for the door. Not three feet from the door, a man stuck his foot out quicker then a flash and tripped her. Standing quickly and facing the man, Kate growled "Problem?"

"Yeah, we got a prob'em! We don't like women like you in here!"
"Its not my problem that you're thick-headed! Good day!" KAte turned but the man grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. Before he could say another word, she grabbed his wrist and pushed it back towards him.

"You keep your hands off me, hear?"

"Why you!" he growled and he pulled a fist back to punch her. Ducking out of teh way and tucking her right fist into his gut, she let go of his wrist and he dropped to the floor. By this time, his friends were standing and helping the leader up. Kate turned to the door again.

"Come on Zornok! you can get her!" the smallest of his companions squeeked. Letting out a large bellow, Zornok charged her. All KAte did was move to the side when he was close and then kicked his lower back when he had passed. He fell with a startled yelp and KAte shoved her boot into the base of his neck.

"Rule number one, and listen close, never fight drunk or angry!"

He yelled again and tried to roll over but the pressure on his neck was immense. She smirked when he hands went behind his head in submission and went through the door to mount up.

Riding to the where the bar keep had told her, Kate's mind was a tornado of quetions but none had answers.

It wasn't long before KAte came up on a large house witha large gate and a guard standing in front.

"Yes, missy?" he piped. His voice was cracked with age and he barely stood above her horse's shoulder.

"I'm here to see Cruaf; he's an old friend of mine!"

"You can go in but leave the weapons with me, if you please!"

"Gladly!" she said. It didn't matter to her as long as she got them back and that she had five other small knives hidden on her person.

The guard opened the gate and she rode through a beautiful, well-kept garden filled with peonies, roses, fox gloves and many others. Cruaf's father was a merchant who made plently of money but wanted to live in a small town. When Kate had left, there had been no gate and no twenty foot wall surronding the large house.

Leaving her roan, Sini, with the man at the front of the house, Kate was lead into the marble entrance hall. Her escort bade her to wait where she was, not to touch anything and to walk as little as possible. He did not like the state of her mud washed boots and dirty hands.

"I heard you the first time, Bernard! I know she's 'a fifthy little pip-squeek' as you put it but I will see her none the less!" Cruaf's voice laughed. Kate smiled when she heard all the laughter it held.

She turned to look up the stairs and saw, not the childhood friend she had left behind but a tall, handsome man. His hair had darkened and hung just below his ears in waves. He had been shorter then her but now stood more then a head taller and his eyes were the color of moss just after the rain.

"Hello Cruaf!" she smiled.

sorry that I have to cut it off there but I have to go! Enjoy and keep commenting!!!

see you!

kate

to the one who wrote anonoumously (can't spell!), I know exactly what you mean! Esstellalim always seems to win these things!! I've tried writing books with characters my own age but they come out sounding stupid! :)

recently, though, i have found myself doubting whether or not I should do this. I have re-written one scene FIFTEEN times because I will have a dream playing out the scene in the book and it doesn't work! Its a simple part, nothing major and nothing really big. The character I'm tryin to give a good death scene (that sounds REALLY stupid!) isn't a character I like. I wrote him and created him but i don't like him. He drives me nuts! I hope I make my readers annoyed with him as well, but still sorta like him so that when he dies they don't sigh with relief and say "Finally, Kate! Jeez that took forever!" that is not what I want to happen! This character (I don't want to name him in case my readers here read my book when its published and they already know he's gonna die!) is semi-inspired by a kid from my Homeschool group that is cocky and sorta annoying. He ALWAYS thinks he's right, even if he's wrong, he's right! he thinks he's right more then any other teenage guy I have met and they ALL think they are right! (hahaha!) But this character REALLY is annoying! ARG!

Another thing that sorta made me think was the fact that my sister's friend Nicky, has started to write. I told her a while ago that I'm writing this book and then about a month later, she was telling her mom that she was going to write, like me! I thought that was so cool and it made me feel great inside. I'm sorta realizing that what I do and say in life does effect those around me! It never really hit me that way; I have always thought that I couldn't have anything to say of worth that would really effect someone's life! Nicky told me later when I asked her about her book, that I was the inspiartion for it. she said that she thought it was awesome that i was writing and that she knew me. She told me that she thought it was cool she knew an author that was going to be published and that she can't wait to buy and read it! It made me feel so awesome inside!!! :) HAPPY KATE!!!

so there is an idea that just came up inside and I'm just going to go BLAH on this post real quick! tell me what you think of the BLAH!

As she lay on her stomach in the cool grass, Kate sighed. She could have stayed there for forever and listened to the birds in the trees and the creek dancing over the stones. She could just barely hear a squirrel scampering through the fallen leaves. She wished she could have stayed there but there was work to be done.

Pushing herself up with a groan, she strapped her belt back around her thin waist and groaned once more. The sword and the dagger that hung from the belt felt heavier then it had. the sword was elaborate with a heavily decorated hilt and intricate designs running up and down the blade. She had won this sword when she was barely sixteen from the General of Blootiva. He had insulted her and her family and since her father was dead and her brother too young to even lift a sword, she fought him.

The dagger was the oppisite of the sword. Her best friend had amde it for her. The hilt was stained wood and the hommel was only a circular knob. It did not matter to her what it looked like; he was her greatest and truest friend and the blade had proved itself great through many battles.

Mounting her roan stallion, Kate sighed again. She could not wait to be home and the sooner the better. She had been gone for three years and she NEEDED to see all of them. What would Breaol (her brother) look like now that he was nearly twleve years old? would the town be the same as when she had left? All the way home, she wondered things like this.

It took forever, it seemed, until she was riding through the gates of Swan Tail and as she rode through the streets, she saw no familar faces. There were no calls of welcome, only scowls and suspious faces, wondering if kate would do them harm. This worried her for Swan Tail had been a place of welcome for all, the people were trusting (sometimes too much) and everyone knew everyone. What had changed her home?

"Excuse me?" she said gently to a passing man. His face, arms and legs were fifthy and he was missing nearly all his teeth.

"what do you want?" he growling in disgust.

Keeping her face calm , she asked, "I was wondering if you could tell me where I might find the Widow Meadowlark?"

"She's been dead for three years! Her son lives in that house now, if you want to call it a house. I'd stay clear of him, wench; his temper is feirce and his dagger unforgiving! be on your way!" he walked off and left Kate shocked at the news. Her mother was dead and her brother was feared; all this seemed wrong. Breaol would not have hurt a soul and now at only twelve, he was vicious? It could not be! A tear rolled down her tanned, dirty cheek.

Riding towards the center of town,hoping to find her old friend, Cruaf, Kate kept a wary eye on her saddlebags. Hitching the roan to a post outside the Dragon's Wing bar and setting a spell on her bags to prevent intruders, she walked in.

The atmosphere was smoky and smell terribly of rotten eggs and whiskey. Pulling her hood up so that it shadowed her face, she walked up to the bar keeper. He was a large man witha scruffy beard and mustache but no hair on the top of his head. His eyes were a dark black with no life and his frown seemed permanent. An ugly creature was tattooed on his upper arm and was bleaker then the man himself.

Like I said earlier, this was just BLAH so if its terrible, I'm sorry you had to endure it! :)

kate

hello to all!

Hi there! I've been gone for a while. My sister and I have been finishing up our schoolwork and such and there has hardly been anything to write about.

I think I am finally beginning to appreciate those authors who I love so much - J.K. Rowling, J.R.R.Tolkien, Jane Austen, Christopher Paolini, Tamora Peirce, etc. My book has taken up alot of my time and I am running a bit low on patience. This book has taken me five years to finish writing and now that its finally 'done', I realize its not over yet. I'm almost finished with the grammar editing but still have much more to add in in a way that sounds right, clear things up so my readers aren't confused and so on. I never thought that just writing down my thoughts would be work! Then there is the nightmare of publishing it and sending 'my baby' out into the world for people to read. There are so many other fantasy novels out there that a fresh, new idea is hard to come by. Paolini has published two books (soon to be three and then four) and people are starting to tear his work apart. He took the awesome title of 'youngest author of teh day' when he published 'Eragon', Tolkien set us all out on our journey into the fantasy realm by paving the road for the first time. The rest of the authors in his time were writing tales of war and romance and such and there really had not been tales of fantasy out there. Even my friend Hannah and I were jokingly argueing about who gets to be the one who wins the title 'one of the youngest female fantasy authors"! She is writing as well and her tale is very original and very good. Its weird becasue I saw the movie "Nim's Island" the other day and the character she writes about is always in her mind and she'll even 'talk' to him. I must admit that there are times where my characters will 'talk' to me. I have had a dream where a character that I had to kill off dame out of my book and was yelling at me because I had killed him. Esstellalim, teh character based off of me, or who I want to be really, has seemed to scream at me sometimes. THis may sound completely crazy but...my characters are mine. They are my friends, my enemies, my animals, the setting is the world that I go to in my dreams and everything I have written down has been something from my dream. I have litterally woken up in the night, grabbed a peice of paper and a pen, and started to scribble things down. THey may just be notes and babble to someone else but I know what they are. I have started to write a paragraph from teh middle of an untold tale and just gone with it. Some of these things will never be published, other might turn out to be a novel that comes after "The Fight for Tyra". I'm not even sure if 'Tyra" will make it. Esstellalim may find that this is one battle she cannot win, but she will fight it and I will be happy if I can go into Barnes and Noble store and see my book on one of their shelves. There are some days when I would love to be talking on TV about my book turning into a movie, or the second coming out or whatever but I think I will be contented and pleased with myself if I can just see it on the shelves with an emerald spine with fancy gold lettering on the spine, swirling out the words "Fight for Tyra". I might change my name to sound more author like; an illertiartion...perhaps Kate Kunningham or something. I might even dig something up from an old Greek myth or something. That would be kind of cool!

This is all just babble but its my blog so....I think I can do whatever on here!! hehehe!

hope ya'll weren't too bored! :)

kate/Essy!

two awesome movies

OK, so while I was being a some-waht bad person (got grounded) I did get to go see an awesome movie (it was homewrok too!!!). THis movie was Expelled with Ben Stein. It is apsolutely awesome! I got lost in a place or two but it was very interesting and, in parts, entertaining! It exposes that the theory (which I think is completely TRUE) of Intelligent Design is being shunned (we all knew that already but, hey) and the people who may only mention it are being fired, regarded as uncrediable, and so on. Ben Stein also brings in somethings about abortion (aka Murder), the Holocaust and other things! It is apsolutely amazing and I highly recomend it!

The second movie is Ironman. The begining of this movie is bad but the rest is VERY good and incredibly entertaining!!! The graphics were awesome, it was funny, and it was just really awesome! There was one part that nearly made me cry though. Ironman has these AMAZING cars in his garage. One of these awesome, sweet, beautiful, wonderful cars is a midnight blue with a white stripe classic Jaguar. When practicing his flight abilities, he looses control and crushes it! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! not fair!!!!!! It was VERY sad and made my eyes sting! :) jk! but when it got squashed, my friends and i whimpered and it was very sad. Poor car! I hope they didn't use an actual Jaguar! That would not be in my will power to crush it!

I will see ya;ll later and try and post a pic of me and my friends at graduation! :)

kate!!!!

modesty!

Something has been coming up lately...modesty!

Normally when you think someone should be modest it normally comes to just girls! Yes, its mostly girls being unmodest and we seem to have the biggest problem but guys are guilty of it too! The whole pants-so-low-we-see-your-underwear look is not cool and it's unmodest!

The gilr's modesty thing is just plain being covered. Girls need to leave something to the imagination; you don't need to show it off to the world. If you can't bend over without someone seeing down your shirt, CHANGE YOUR SHIRT and throw it away!!! Wear clothes you can actaully do stuff in (other than showing off) and have fun in!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

post on this; share all thoughts! I don't care how long a comment is, just go BLAH!!!!

kate

blah, blah, blah!!!!

hello to all and sorry for the long gap in posts! I was bad girl and got grounded...don't ask!

so not much has been on my mind lately. things have been happening but not much and too much to write on.

i've been working on my book a lot lately, trying to finish the first long period of editing the grammar mistakes and then i take on the grueling trial of adding. Only one of my friends has read my book and the main thing he tells me (yells at me...jk!!!) is MORE DETAIL!! i babble when I talk but apparently not in my writing! need to do it!

Weird things have been coming up since I got my purity ring for my birthday. I wear it always on my left ring finger, where the engagement ring goes, because that's where I think it should go. THought that is where it should go until I am married. Then I will take it off, store it in a safe place and pray that one day I have a daughter who I can give it to. But it does look like an engagement ring or a 'promise ring' to people and I have had four people from my youth ask me who asked. I was a little shocked and it's weird to explain when they have this look on their faces saying they don't believe me. arg!

I don't really have anything else to write about right now or, rather, anything I have the will to write! See ya'll later, give me comments or even some thought that you have had that you think would be interesting to get my thoughts on because I am too lazy to go to all ya'll's blogs and read! ARG!

kate

anyone (besides cynderella) who can tell me what book and what character from that book said my title gets this

 and something else I'm not what it is yet thingy! hehe! just thought this would kinda be fun! maybe I'll give you a character in one of my stories or something..not sure! best of luck!!

kate

thoughts rambling about in this teeny tiny brain of mine! hehe

my sixteenth birthday has come and gone and since then, my mind has been going a little crazy!

when I was thirteen, I could not wait until i was sixteen. Movies portrayed it as this wonderful day where the guy the girl is crushing on suddenly loves her which is usually followed up by the girl recieving her first kiss and so on and so forth. I had an immense crush on this guy who I now realize was a jerk and wasn't even as cute as I thought he was then. And this crush wasn't really a crush...he was more of an obsession. To my friends who knew me then, I AM SOOOOOOOO SORRY YOU HAD TO ENDURE MY STUPID, PATHETIC RAVINGS!!!! I WAS A LOONEY!!! Now, I must explain this situation. This guy was 4 years older then me, had no intrest in me what-so-ever, was completely disrespectful of his parents, was a jerk and all this other stuff. Frankly, I'm not sure why I liked him to begin with. Haley, Hannah, Rachel, do you remember and why didn't you slap me upside the head and tell me I was a completel loon?!?!?!?!!?AKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAK!!!!! I had these silly STUPID little daydreams that on my sixteenth birthday, he would suddenly realize he was desperately in love me, propose and so on. (give me a break; i was a REALLY stupid 13-14 year old!!!!!!) The reason it would be on my sixteenth birthday was because mom and dad had told me that I was not allowed to date till then. I hated that!!! I couldn't wait that long! My friend had a boyfriend already and I wanted one!!! Now that I am 16 I keep thinking....WHY? it doesn't seem that big of a deal anymore. College, my book, and faith and such are much more present on my mind then who i would want to date or wishing he would ask me or whatever! now it seems that I have much better things to do with my time then pining for some guy. If he wants to date, he'll ask me. there is a song by BarlowGirl that i apsolutely love! Its called Anthem and one of the lines is "There are trophies to win instead of being one of yours!" My friends say that it is my theme song...I'll probably put it on my playlist and see what ya'll think of it. I love it and think my friends are right! hehehe

my birthday was wonderful! My family and I went to see Horton Hears a Who which I will be buying when it comes out on DVD. It was very cute and funny and ya'll shoudl definetly go see it! Totally worth the movie theater price!!!! Mom and Dad got me a gorgeous purity ring that has my birthstone (aquamarine) in it and doesn't get in my way!! They also got me a full biking outfit; jersey, pants, and gloves. They said that I'll get the shoes at a later time. Mom is going to buy me a dress for the party I am going to have and its great! My friend Cyndle got me the book Mr. Darcy's Diary (a very good book!!!!) and a writer's feather quill. Its a blast to write with but takes some time!! love it tons!!!

I will let ya'll go and see ya'll later!!!

bike ride

I finally got to go on a REAL bike ride! The last one I went on was basically following two people without bikes around a park and barely hitting any trail at all!

There is a trail I love about 30 minutes from our house. Its really simple, the way home is all fast and awesome, there always seems to be a mud puddle somewhere along the way, and its just plain awesome! I got to go on it today with friends and my little sister. the ride was awesome for about an hour then my sister, Sarah, started feeling not so good, a little dizzy and such. But, seeing as she is almost as stubborn as my dad and me, it took a while to convince her that we were heading back to the starting point. Mr. Neil, Aruora (sp?), Christopher, Sarah and I headed back with Chris and I basically racing to the end and Mr. Neil sticking with Sarah and Aruora. I was hitting every single mud puddle I saw, loving the splattering sound, and everything. We met Chris' brother Jonathan and his friend on the way back. At one point, I looked down for a split second and looked back up just in time to see a fallen tree in the way! I slammed on the front brake to slow down and tried to turn but just slid right under the tree limbs (the crown was facing me; I'm glad it wasn't a trunk!!!). I was laughing so hard, it took me a while to stand but up but when I did, there wasn't a scratch on me!!! I was completely amazed! Aruora  was right behind me and saw the whole thing. Jonathan and his friend came around and were all like "What happened? You OK?" I was still laughing my head off!

What I think wast the best part of the ride was when I missed the turn I was supposed to take, and decided that I would just continue on with Aruora and Sarah close behind just in case. There were ruts in front full of mud that didn't look all that deep. I rode through it but my front tire got stuck, stopped, and I went sideways. I didn't get all that muddy but when I stood up and started walking, I lost my footing slid down and got covered in mud! My entire left leg was covered thick in mud! Again, I was laughing incredibly hard!  The three of us caught up with Jonathan, Chris, Mr. Neil and the guy-I can't remember the name of. They were laughing hard when they saw me! The really funny part was when this car pulls up to our group and there is a lady and her around-16-year-old son in the car. The driver says "My son says the girl in mud looks hot!!!" I was right in between shocked, embarressed and trying to figure out what to say. I wasn't sure if thats the kind of thing you say thank you too!   Everyone else was busting up laughing, especially Jonathan. They drove off and it was a little weird! I told my mom and she has been teasing me ever since I got home!!! hehe! what do you say to that though? No one has ever told me that before and it was just weird! The guy riding shotgun kept sinking down in his seat going redder and redder! I had no idea what to say to that! Made me a bit nervous too! not quite sure why but it did!

We found out what was wrong with my shoulder...finally! there is a canal in the shoulder that the tendons go through; mine is just a bit too small. I have to go through physical therapy for now. The doctor doesn't want me to have a surgery until its apsolutely necassary...FINE WITH ME!!!!!!!!!! i already have to have all my wisdom teeth pulled this Thuresday. If I don't have to go under the knife, then I'm not doing anything!!!!!!!

see ya'll!

MY 16TH BIRTHDAY IS ONLY IN 13 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

things on my crazy mind

These few things have been on my mind recently. can't get all my thoughts down on paper in a journal and I want to tell all ya'll so here it goes!

first things first...just becuase a guy and girl hang out DOES NOT MEAN THEY "LIKE" ONE ANOTHER!!!!!!! I have many great guy friends and some of my girl friends are confused. They'll say "i thought you liked him but you were hanging with him alot today? do you like him instead now?" NO! Guys and girls can be JUST friends. If it does go to the next level, koodos to them! happy for them! I'm tired of this being a problem. And it's not just one for me, alot of my other friends, guys and girls, have this problem! If you see someone talking to one of the oppisite sex alot and hanging out and laughing don't jump to the conclusion that they "like" each other or they're dating or whatever! erg! sorry, this has just been on my mind recently.

second...this one is a bigger and I am more passionate on this...don't be offended...gays. At youth, homosexuals came up in the discussion. One of the kids was saying that they are born like that and such; this is not true. Being gay is a choice. its not a disease or something you are born with...its a CHOICE!!! The youth leader said that its sorta like alcholism; some people are born who are more prone to be alcholics than others. This is mainly genetic. If being gay was genetic (meaning you inherited it from a family member) YOU WOULD NOT BE HERE! therefore, that excuse is ruled out. God made Man and Woman to love one another and be with one another forever. If he had wanted us to be gays, he might have put Adam and Evan instead. I think being gay is a freak of nature...it's not right! The Bible says so and that anyone who lies with the same sex, they are to be condemned. To show you how else our society has changed, I will bring us Oscar Wilde (he wrote The Portrait of Dorian Grey, Canterville Ghost and a few other things) He was put on trial for homosexual activities and thrown in jail for such number of years. We now live in a world of tolerance. We are supposed to tolerate those we don't agree with and those who rub us wrong. I don't think I agree with this. In philsophy class we talked about this. Hitler was the main example. If Hitler had tolerated the Jews, there would have been no Holocaust. Yes, right. BUT,since someone tolerated his idea and did nothing about it, the Holocaust happened. If the USA had tolerated Hussein, he would still be a threat to the world and be killing his people. If we had not tolerated the idea of abortion (sick, there would be no discussion of it today.This goes on forever! thats been on my mind as well.

Third and last thing on my mind is this guestion: What is so great about a kiss? (warning to guys: entering girl's thought process...BEWARE!!!)Is there something about it that is just so wonderful people must have because its so wonderful? I have never been kissed. Fine by me...just haven't met the right guy yet. The world portrays it as this wonderful thing on TV and in movies but also so trivial. The way they show it normally is...gross! But old pictures, like the black and white one of the Navy guy and his girl...that is one of my favorite pics. Its sweet, simple and everything. I'm not even sure why this popped into my head but...it did so...

 thought I'd write this all down, get it out of my head and hear ya'll's comments on it. bye!
