missed week

Dear readers,
      Monday was a good day for me as usual I love mondays. Tuesday nothing exciting really happened except I talked to Brett a lot. Wed was also a very good day I would have to say. In English we got to go to the computer lab, Botany we got to do a scientific experiment thing and go around looking at fruits but also we got to eat them. In science anything with seeds is a fruit. So lately I have been searching for things with seeds. A pumpkin, pinecone, and a pepper are fruits. I feel smart now. Anyway my Botany teacher told me I had to come up with what type of fruit a pepper is. Anyway that was that day. Except at night we also had youth group. My dad was late getting home from work so I missed the first half of it. As soon as I almost got to the senior high room I was so happy because I saw him :) <3. Anyway I won't really say what we talked about in our small groups because it was personal. But afterwards I got to talk to Brett again and I was super happy. I also found out I apparently have a twin lol. When I got inside my dads car I saw a white chocolate milkshake from Steak n Shake in the cup holder. I got all excited and happy it felt like a great night. On Thursday I woke up feeling sick but I wanted to try going to school still. I made it until after second hour when I had to go to the office and have them call my aunt to come get me and take me home. That night I already told you about and on with today. Well I woke up super late and pretty much watched movies all day long. Tonight I am talking to Brett. I just got done confusing him about what type of fruit a pepper is. He didn't realize a pepper was a fruit and I got a message from my Botany teacher telling me I gave him the scientific definition of it instead of the type of fruit it is. Well a pepper is a berry. But the scientific name of a pepper is Capsicum annuum. There now you just learned something new :). Well it is time for bed so goodnight everyone. Sweetdreams.

November 30th 2012

Dear readers,
       Well today is the last day of November. This month went by super fast I'd say. I mean it's already December tomorrow and that'll mean 24 days until Christmas. I still have to find gifts for all my family members. Also every single day this December I am busy doing something lol. I'm so excited though that Grace Family Christmas (my church) is just next week!! This is going to be a ton of fun except for some reason I am a little nervous. I can't wait also because tomorrow I get to go shoe shopping and that is my favorite kind of shopping!! Anyway the past couple days I have been sick so I haven't gone to school really. But something did happen last night. I ended up deciding I was going to not really do a test but I don't know what you wanna call it. Anyway I don't know who my true friends are really and I guess the past week all I have been able to think about is the past and who should I trust and who's there for me. I just it's important you know? Although high school is almost over and a lot of people say you move on and don't remember the people in high school really. You don't stay friends well I don't care I just want to make at on of happy memories now while I still am in high school. This whole entire year has been nothing but filled with drama and depression. Anyway it has been such a long year and I am now ready to just stop worrying about everything and have fun :). I also at one time found this thing where it said your true friends stick with you through everything. So last night I forwarded a message to 17 people and I let everything out. I told them all the major lies I told, I said what I talked about behind their backs I just let it all out and afterwards 4 of them responded saying they will always be my friend and stuff. It made me feel great that wow even though a lot of what I said was just shocking they were still there for me and understood it. Anyway I think starting last night I am turning a new leaf in my life. And I am finally ready to move on from the past and live how I wanted to. I don't care anymore if I don't have a lot of friends the ones I do have are great enough <3.

gangnam style

Gangnam stlye is the best song in the whole entire world and I think you all should listen to it and dance to it :D. And if anybody in Illinois wants to help with my flash mob then please join in or contact me!! Thank you :D and now I will write more blog

November 26th 2012

Dear readers,
      Well today I had to go back to school. I woke up really late this morning though so I was in a huge rush getting ready. When I went to the bus stop my friend Mickey told me he came over to my house but I wasn't there. I said woops although later I realized he went to the wrong apartment because I never even heard a knock on the door so there was no way he went to mine and he said he forgot what door I told him. Anyway When I got to school I went straight to my friend Steven for the answers to the test... no it was not cheating!! It was just borrowing information :). Ha,ha anyway first hour we went over the test the entire time. In botany we talked about fruits and he showed us more fruits that we had no clue what they were. I learned that pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchini are all fruits. Very interesting I know because a fruit has seeds in it and tomatoes and cucumbers and so forth have seeds in them. I can't wait till Wed when we do the fruit lab. Not much happened in the morning but then at lunch I ate at the snack bar again. I love my friends and I love how I can be super weird around them and not be judged. Now that is true friendship :) anyway the entire time we were being really loud and obnoxious singing old 80s music. It was a blast!! In biology I played tik tak toe with my friend Sarah because we were really bored lol. It was fun. Oh and I forgot earlier in my day I talked to Sam again and we actually had a very good conversation about how our weekends went and stuff. Anyway after class of course I met up with my friend Alex and we talked about how I apparently remind him of the girl Trinity off the Matrix. I don't believe it but apparently that's what he is calling me now. Oh also I was a beast in the hallway. My books flew out of my hands (I am such a clumsy person) but I literally flew to catch them :). It was the funniest thing ever and my knee hurt afterwards lol but it was funny. Anyway time went by and in parenting all we did was talk to our partners. This girl Kayla Stanton always complains about everything and was starting stuff with me, I pretty much wasn't going to take it and I told her off. I was as nice as possible but she had it coming so she sat in the back of the room away from me. Not like I cared I was glad she finally left me alone but tonight I talked to her and said sorry and stuff. She said she was sorry and is done talking crap to me and I said good. So I hope she learned a lesson. On the bus it was packed and I got to sit by a ton of my friends. It was awesome. These sophmore girls couldn't believe that I am a junior though lol it was pretty funny trying to convince them. The entire time I couldn't wait to go home so I could text him <3. I left my phone at home because I really do need to save my minutes. Anyway when I got there he was online and we talked for a few hours. He makes me so happy and just made my entire day even better. My brother came over to watch football with my dad and was a complete jerk to me though. I stayed in my room and finally got done cleaning the entire place up.... I ended up finding a ton of things I never got rid of from Sam and for a couple minutes my heart started aching again but I'm happy with Brett. And I thought back to him and I got all happy again and realized I've moved on and it needs to stay that way. And that was the past I can't keep looking back on it no more. So for right now life is enjoyable I hope it stays this way.... Goodnight everyone. Sleep well.... and watch out for the crocodiles ;).

November 25 2012

Dear readers, 
       Today is a day..... not just any day though, today all of your lives will change forever. No I'm just kidding I mean they may if this blog speaks to you but I doubt it lol. Anyway I missed quite a few days on doing this blog and lately I notice I just write a ton of random stuff well that's because I have been getting lazy on doing this thing and I forget sometimes. Anyway I know that's no excuse so I will pick up my slack and try to write more for you all. But to be honest I am a really funny person trust me if you talked to me you would get a kick out of it but lately I just haven't had anything funny to really tell and I'm sorry. Brett claims he is entertained but I don't see how considering I don't post that many interesting things and so far all I have been blogging about is random things. Right now though this computer just deleted the first half of the blog I was going to do and now I have to retype it all so if the rest of this isn't that funny I am sorry I was going to make it happy but my computer is such a jerk. I mean seriously after this I am putting it in time out for driving me crazy. Also every single word I type pretty much the computer is telling me that I am spelling it wrong... somehow. Dang you spell check! Ha,ha anyway I guess I should tell you about my weekend, well Thursday of course was Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving and black Friday everyone!! So this year was my very first year to go black Friday shopping and it was a blast. Walmart was extremely unorganized though but Target was fantastic. I am now going to be in 5 random people's videos. Soon I shall be famous!! Ha I wish.. not actually I don't wish famous people get too much publicity and people entering their lives so no, but it would be amazing to meet Aaron Rodgers. Anyway everybody was smiling and happy although it was cold and late so I enjoyed that a ton. My dad and I had no clue what we were even looking for though so we didn't get anything really. Oh well better off save as much money while you can. Saturday I was home alone all day because my dad had to work so pretty much all I did was stay home in my pajamas and watch movies. It was quite relaxing except I started feeling really lonely especially because a lot of the movies had romance or something in them with relationships and I know I'm in one but I don't know I just it was stupid I started wishing I were those people... even though they were animated characters lol. Barbie...you just gotta love Barbie. That night my sisters and I had a slumber party and goofed off a ton and decorated my room in a ton of Christmas stuff. It looks awesome. Erm and today I guess is Sunday right? Or am I mistaken I think I'm right lol anyway of course it is because this morning we had church. Well we left late so I missed Sunday school again... hope this doesn't happen next week as well. Anyway after church we didn't do much but the same thing I did as on Saturday. We watched Disney channel all day. Then tonight I just got back from teen choir. Tonight we had a 2 hour rehearsal and I was super glad. I realized I can't walk or stand though because I tripped down a stair 3 times. I just laughed at myself then my friend Taylor and I were finding moments to do Gangnam style. It was just a great time overall I am so happy. Okay so there is this guy... and you all know who he is and when he reads this he knows who he is lol but anyway... I am way too shy.... I can't even hold his hand I get scared. I know it's normal but I think its crazy how that he is the only guy I have ever been this shy around. Is that a sign? lol... that I am too shy. Anyway I think maybe that is why I was feeling lonely because I was seeing other people holding hands and stuff and I felt left out. I mean I am going out with him... I just I hope he knows how much he means to me... I really, really want this to work out between us and I love being with him and I wanna show him how much he means to me and that I do but I can't :/. And to be completely honest the past 3 days I have been thinking that we are more just a couple of friends then anything else and I have been wondering if maybe that is how it should be.... But I know it's not. Because then I think of us not going out and being friends and man I hate it so I realized that now I just I need to not be such a grade schooler and do something about it... But another problem with that is I say that same thing a lot and it doesn't happen lol.... Anyway I just need help with this whole new relationship thing. I also feel like I am rushing things too much and I need to let it work itself out and if it takes time it takes time but who knows. I over think everything a ton just to let you all know lol.... Anyway I have a huge test due tomorrow so I better go. Goodnight ya'll 

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time of getting together with family and just saying thanks for all the little things in life. Whether that is being thankful for your family or just being yourself or thankful to have food. You can be thankful for many, many things. Also on Disney channel they are being thankful for their pets. Thanksgiving I would have to say is my favorite holiday ever. Not only are you gathered with family but you get a ton of food. It is one of the only times of year you get so much food. Also it is the only time of year that Cranberry Mist comes out. This is my own opinion but I think it is the best drink ever!! Too bad it only comes out once a year. Also you may think I am weird for saying this but I absolutely love cranberry sauce!! I can eat a whole can of it on my own :). Anyway Thanksgiving absolutely rocks!

About me

Well hey there, I decided I think you all should know a little about the person who is writing this blog. My name is Kassie Douglas I am 16 years old and a Junior at Limestone. I love my friends, family, and stranger dearly. Yes I did say stranger, my friend Daphnee and I both love talking to strangers. To be honest if you start a random conversation with somebody you don't know you might find out they are really awesome to be with and are quite interesting. Anyway I smile a lot. I get told to stop smiling sometimes or I am always happy but it's true. I love smiling and I love happiness and I love when everyone just gets along. I am such a movie girl as well. I used to base my entire life off movies and wish my life would turn out like they do but through the years I learned we don't always get what we want and life is definitely not perfect. But anyways I still love to hope and wish some sort of fairytale will come true for me. Anyway here are some random little facts about me. My favorite color is sky blue, shape heart, letter K of course, number 6 based off my nascar drive Mark Martin, movie any Barbie ones just because they are always so happy and sometimes inspire me, music is 80's anything 80's for sure!! Ummm I love music. I have to admit I adore music I am a singer/writer. I am still learning piano and guitar at the moment so until then you can't call me a musician unless you count my voice. Anyway dancing is also my passion. I love to tap dance, do ballet, street dance, and any dance you can think of. It lets my emotions go through my body and just I let loose and enjoy :). I am all about love also. I love love. I love family and the moments we spend together I love my friends and I love just everyone in general. But I absolutely can't stand stupid people or people who act like they are on top of the world and stuck up. Seriously people mind your own damn business also. Anyway I love to write. I actually have a whole folder filled with poetry and I started 5 books that so far haven't found the time to write. I enjoy hiking. I am a major hiker and I love to explore. In the summertime you see me outside every single day exploring the woods and finding new trails. I love to bike ride also. I go on rides with my grandpa. Sometime next summer I am riding my bike from Peoria to Wisconsin I am hoping. A family member of mine did it so I think I can do. My favorite place to shop would have to be Target or Kohls. I love Kohls their clothes are so awesome. Anyway what else haven't I told you? Oh yeah my favorite sports are football, baseball even though I can't play it, and volleyball. Back in grade school I used to be in volleyball but starting high school here at Limestone I was way too shy to do anything or get involved. My favorite teams I'm not going to say because who cares who my favorite teams are I don't wanna get any crap. Although I will tell you I am a Cardinal fan all the way and I am proud of all my teams win or loose. Anyway I don't know what else there is to tell you right now but if you have anything you would like to know or anything you wanna talk about just send me an email at kassiedouglas@gmail.com.

My Dream Date

My dream date may or may not sound boring. I mean some of it is your typical stuff. Well it involves 4-Wheeling, a picnic, mud sliding, a sports game, and a walk along the beach. I mean I love all the romantic stuff and all to so I had to add walks along the beach which is definitely one of the biggest dreams I have had my entire life with a guy. But also I love to just hang out and stuff. I love 4-Wheeling, you may call me a tomboy or what you want  but it's a ton of fun!! Oh man... I just wish and hope all my dreams come true. Don't ask why I am making blogs about this stuff I just I know I haven't done a blog in so long and so here I am making it up. Not only that but I am tired of telling you my every day by day stuff so here I am letting out a few secrets and things about me. I hope ya'll don't mind too much. Anyway I must go for now my Barbie movie is on :).

My dream Christmas

My dream Christmas is waking up and being in a good mood. I mean first of all the night before I will be wearing my comfy, cozy pjs drinking hot cocoa and watching a Christmas movie with my family. Then go to bed early and wake up in a fantastic mood. I will make a wonderful breakfast for everyone when they wake up. Not to mention outside it is snowing and sunny out. Anyway when everybody is awake we will check our stockings to see what Santa brought us. My future husband and I would be snuggled on the couch :) lol. Yes this is my future hehe. Anyway then it will be present time. Of course I am going to be taking tons and tons of pictures. Anyway after gifts it's time to play!! We go outside and make snow people, snow angels, and of course have a snowball fight. It's a great time and everybody is happy. Then it is time to go to our other parents house and so we get in the car and go :). Later in the evening we have a huge meal and we sing Christmas carols by the piano and fire place. Then it's time for bed and I tuck my little ones asleep and ask how was there day. And it's off to snooze land. :) <3

November 19 2012

Dear readers, 
      First of all I would just like to thank my friends who were there for me today in helping me get words out that I couldn't quite say myself lol. Anyway this morning I woke up nice and early to get ready. I then put on my scarlet letter L. For anyone who doesn't know the L stands for liar. And yes lying is in the ten commandments, thou shall not lie. But everyone does nowadays anyway and think it's not that big of a deal. Well sorry to get your moods down but it is a huge deal. I believe in order for a person to be truely happy with themselves they must be truthful at all times. I mean sure little lies like if a person asks how they look today and you say great isn't really that harmful but it's still lying. Anyway enough of that.... onto my day. I got to the bus stop a little late today which is fine because a minute after I got there the bus came so I didn't have to wait long. On the bus I sat by my friend Alex and we talked about our weekends. Well wrote them out on paper. I got to school and already my other friend Alex asked if I was silent today and there he got his answer when I didn't respond. Anyway first hour we had to go the library and type up our essays. I glanced over and noticed Sam was sitting at the table next to mine. As soon as I saw him I thought my mind was playing tricks on me but then I looked again and it was him ended up getting bad and I was super shakey and freaking out. Nobody noticed though I tried to hide it but the rest of the hour I could not concentrate at all with him in the same room. I wanted to ask what the heck happened to your face because it was all scratched up though but I knew I couldn't talk to him. Anyway the rest of my day was interesting. I had some people tell me it was an awesome idea and others freak out because they thought it was an assignment that they would have to do also. Some people tried getting me to talk and stuff but I was awesome lol. I also am gonna go back to the part where I saw Sam at the moment. For the first time in a long time though when I looked at him I didn't have any feeling, I mean its mean but I started thinking he looked weird or you know not goodlooking at all to be honest. I was like finally!!! And super excited in my head but also wondering wow did I really fall for that guy? lol Anyway enough of that. After school I was hoping to sit by Daphnee but the bus was packed so I sat by Alex again. The entire time we were making up random stories and talked about our plans for this weekend. When we reached his sotp I ended up sitting by my other friends in the front. They were so loud and crazy today ha,ha. I ended up just getting a bit annoyed. Anyway when I finally got home I checked my facebook real quick to write what I was thankful for and then I turned on some Chris Tomlin and cleaned that house. Not only that but I did dishes without my dad asking. Afterwards I decided to have some of my own worship time and have quite time with God <3. And now I am still listening to Chris Tomlin and writing my blog and thinking about how fun this weekend is going to be :D.

November 18 2012

Dear readers, 
    I am here to tell you about my weekend. If you ever have any request on what I should make a blog about or just wanna tell me about your day or something go ahead I am here and I love hearing ideas and stories :). Shall I start with Friday then? Okay well Friday at school we had an assembly. It was a ton of fun to be honest, they played a ton of awesome songs and I was dancing in my seat with my best friend Carmen. Ummm not much else happened that night I wouldn't think. Oh wait I hung out with Brett I think. Sorry at the moment my memory is not working. Anyway onto Saturday. Well Saturday I woke up nice and early and I was too lazy to do anything at first so I just watched the movie clueless (awesome movie btw--- I don't think of any guys watching it though lol) Anyway I then pigged out on a ton of food. I ate pop tarts, pretzels, cereal, and waffles. It was a filling breakfast not to mention I ate spaghetti as well lol. Finally it was gonna be time for Brett to be coming over so I hurried and clean the entire place up and I got ready. I went outside and just explored for a little while. I found a giant alcohol bottle in the garbage in the hallway by my stairs. I was just thinking seriously?! People really need to find another way to spend their time then getting drunk. I mean I learned my lesson. Heres a small story back in February I started dating that guy Sam and I guess he got me into some really bad things. One night we partied with all our friends and I ended up drinking a lot... Anyway after that alcohol seemed to be a new addiction for me. I thought it was the only key to making me happy or at least get things off my mind. Because while that crap was in my system my mind just seemed to be gone and I didn't worry about a thing. Anyway starting in June I went to vbs and summer camp and I just I realized there are so many other things I can do to be happy. Things happened between me and Sam and we broke up and I started wanting to go back to that path, I wanted the hurt to go away. In August Jesus really became my best friend. I went to him for everything and he was my true happiness. I ended up realizing and still now that with him I can do anything, with him I am strong. So when I saw that alcohol bottle I prayed for whoever it was who drank it and hoping they will find christ. I mean sure it was just a bottle and they might not have gotten drunk or was just having a little fun I can't judge but I know for myself it is never going to enter my body again. Anyway on with my story :). Finally Brett got here. And it was fun we watched movies together and ate pizza and I just I really liked being with him. Although I started to get really sleepy and about falling asleep lol. Around 4:30 it was time to go to the festival of lights. It was so funny trying to get there yet again Brett got off at a different intersection because this time some truck was in the way. After a bunch of turns and not knowing where to go we eventually made it. It started to get super cold and both our fingers were freezing. If mine weren't so cold as well I would have probably held his hand to warm it up :). So the parade ended up being a bit disappointing because they got rid of half the floats by the time it got to us but I still had a good time because I was with him. He then took me home and when I went inside I was attacked by my sisters. For the rest of the night we had a glow stick party by cutting them open and turning off the lights spraying them everywhere. It was super awesome because my room looked like we were in outer space. Finally it was time to go to bed for church. 
      On to today.... Well when I woke up I actually felt in a great mood. I ended up cooking breakfast and picking up while everybody was asleep and as soon as they woke up I had breakfast waiting for them. We ended up just watching a bit of tv together and I started having thinking time. I mean usually I hate when I think but this time I just I really needed to and wanted to and it was great. I skipped youth group in the morning 1. I wasn't ready to go yet but also 2. I just wanted to stay home a bit longer and relax. Finally when we did get to church I was looking for Brett and the gang. Of course I didn't see them till afterward. Today's message really spoke to me and now my dad and I are getting my ex step mother a Christmas gift no matter how mean she is just to show her a bit of Christmas spirit. Of course the card were getting her is going to have a message from the bible in it and were gonna try our best to get her to listen and help her accept him into her. heart. After service I talked to Brett for a little bit but I had to go and so we hugged goodbye. When I got home I didn't do much but rough house with my sisters and sing worship songs. We ended up going to the mall for a bit and it was a lot of fun. I made a list of stuff I wanted for Christmas and I found Brett a gift for Christmas :). Afterward dad dropped me off at the church for choir practice. I love to sing so much!! :) As usual the entire time I kept looking over at him <3. And at the end we had to go again and I kissedem ^.^. My dad and I went to Kohls and got me an aerosmith shirt. After that we went home to watch football and here I am in my room enjoying good worship music and soon gonna read romans :) <3. Anyway have a fantastic night everyone sleep well. Goodnight and God bless <3

Starting a new relationship? Need advice? here you go :)

If you’ve just met a perfect partner and don’t want to ruin a perfect start, here are all the pointers you need to take it from a new relationship to a good relationship.

#1 Meet often, but not too often
When you’re in young love, you’d want to spend every waking minute with your boyfriend/girlfriend It’s understandable, you’re obviously excited. But could you be pushing it too far?

By meeting too often, you’re suddenly changing the lives of two individuals who have fallen in love. It may feel great for the first week or so, but eventually your other commitments may pile up and one of you may end up getting annoyed with the other for spending too much time.
Go out on dates once or twice a week, and it’ll keep the love and excitement on a high for a long time. But if you’re both madly in love and can’t keep your hands off each other, then you’re excused to meet each other more often, but with caution.
#2 Don’t get clingy
Just because you’re dating doesn’t mean you own each other. Shocking, yes, but it’s true. If you want to know how to have a good relationship from the beginning, learn to give each other space. Especially in a new relationship, you’re only dating each and don’t really need to know every little piece of information about each other. Right now, you’re only a small part of each other’s lives, so don’t give yourself more importance than you deserve.
#3 Don’t go crazy with your gifts
Your new gf/bf may be running in your mind all day, but that doesn’t mean you should go overboard and buy something for your love every time you see something nice while shopping.
Save the spending sprees for later when the relationship has grown over a solid foundation. If you do want to express your love with gifts, then pick something small, personal and inexpensive at first. Save the extravagant gifts when you know your new mate’s the one for you.

#4 Don’t get possessive
Possessiveness is never a good trait in a relationship. Possessiveness is a sign of insecurity and jealousy, and these are usually big red flags in any relationship, new or old.
Remember that you’re still in a new relationship and can’t order or even request your mate to avoid people or avoid going out by themselves. Even if you do feel jealous about your lover’s partying habits or the amount of time they spend with a group of friends, learn to suck it up and hold it in. Signs of jealousy and insecurity right at the beginning can end the relationship even before you know it.

#5 Accept each other’s habits
When you fall in love with someone new, you fall in love with who they are not the person you wish they were.  Instead of trying to change them to fit your requirements, learn to adjust to their habits. By restricting a lover or trying to change someone at the very beginning, you risk the chance of losing them forever.
Whether you’re in love or otherwise, you can’t really change someone’s personality. If you find your new lover incompatible, end the relationship instead of suffering a nervous breakdown due to frustrations or insecurities.
#6 You don’t have to say I-Love-You
Just because you’re in a relationship with your new gf/bf, it doesn’t mean you have to start saying those “three magical words” to each other as soon as you decide to go out with each other. It’s only going to lead to awkwardness in the air because it’s all happening so fast. Take it slow and wait a while, maybe a month or so before you say it out loud. Or when you feel it is the right time to.

#7 Talk to each other
 Communication creates a good relationship.
Try to sneak in a long conversation every now and then and learn about each other, likes, dislikes, interests and all. By doing this, it’ll help you figure the romantic compatibility and also help bring both of you closer. 

So there you go, whether you listen to my advice or not it doesn't matter at least it's out there :). 

the little monster that grew and grew

A soldier returning home alone from a great battle found a monster blocking his path. It wasn’t much of a monster. In fact it was quite pathetic. It was small, its claws were blunt, and most of its teeth were missing.

The solder had won all the battles he had ever been in and was considered something of a hero. He decided he would deal with the rather feeble looking monster there and then. He had run out of bullets, so using his rifle as a club he brought the creature to the ground with a single blow.

Then he stepped over it and continued along the path. Within minutes, the monster was in front of him again, only now it looked slightly larger and its teeth and claws were a bit sharper.

Once again he hit the monster, but this time it took several blows to bring it down. Again he stepped over it, and again, a few minutes later, the monster appeared before him, bigger than ever.

The third time, no matter how much he hit the monster it would not go down. It grew larger and more ferocious with each blow the solder aimed at it. Defeated, the soldier fled back down the path, with the monster chasing after him.

Yet by the time it arrived at the spot where he’d first seen it, the monster had returned to its original size.

When another traveller appeared on the path the soldier stopped him and warned him of what had happened. ‘Maybe we can fight it together,’ he suggested, ‘then we will overcome it.’

‘Let’s just leave the feeble little thing where it is,’ said the traveller. ‘If you pick a quarrel with something unpleasant when you don’t really have to, then it simply grows more unpleasant. Let’s just leave it alone.’

And so they did. They walked around the toothless little monster and

November 14th 2012

Dear readers, 
        To start off today I prayed to the Lord to get me through it. I mean every day I prayed but today I just really prayed to him considering everything that has been happening at school so far. I think he heard my prayer but it's one of those times where you just have to work things out on your own. Anyway I went to the bus stop and I didn't have to wait long until the bus got there. Although I got there like 15 minutes after it was suppose to get there. That shows how late she is every morning. Anyway on the bus I sat by Daphnee except she was sick this morning so I hope I don't catch her flu. We didn't talk much today, but then when I got to school it was actually quite good to start off with. I hung with a huge group of my friends in the entry way of the building and our dean was standing there just looking at us like wow. My friend Samual and I were doing some kind of secret handshake thing and then my friend Devon and I started jumping around doing the gangnam style. 2 people came up with cameras and were filming us doing it. This guy Tyler was trying to teach me the redneck shuffle ( don't ask me what that is) and got out of breath. He told me I am the only person he knows that can make him tired lol. Anyway the bell rang which was very disappointing and so I had to go to English and work on my essay thing. Finally after what seemed to be 24 hours the bell rang. I ended up seeing my ex, Sam, in the halllway for once walking alone. I decided I was going to walk up to him and start a conversation. I was nice ok? Seriously I try to be nice to him even for what he did to me but no he was just a sarcastic jerk face to me so I gave up talking and walked away. I saw my friend Sharyl in the hallway and ended up complaining to her about it and she said yeah he was being a jerk to her to and she is sick of him. Anyway I finally got to class and surprisingly wasn't late to it. In Botany we just watched a video and for once had to take notes during it. I got lost halfway through it though because I kept daydreaming about other things. Third hour nothing interesting happened then in rocket academy the guys in there for once didn't mess with me. I had to give relationship advice though. And this guy hired me to beat the crap out of his ex girlfriend just because she was staring at him. I was like seriously if Imma get suspended it better be for a good enough reason. After class I kept searching for Melody but I didn't see her as usual. 5th hour nothing interesting happened then at lunch I sat by a different group of people. I couldn't take sitting by Will again I was still mad after the stuff he told me yesterday. Anyway in Biology we had to take a test which I felt was extremely easy but maybe thats because I actually am trying my hardest in that class. Anway I got a pass to go talk to this one teacher, I was worried because I didn't know if I was in trouble for something or not. But she ended up just talking to me about my act scores for the practice exam and what I need to work on. After class I found my friend Alex and we were messin around in the hallways being loud as always ha,ha. But then things started to change in my 7th hour algebra. Apparently at the same time stuff was happening in my math class Daphnee was having problems of her own. Anyway we had to go into the computer lab and work on more practice act stuff. I had no partner because pretty much nobody likes me in that class and so I felt like such a loner. I apparently have terrible luck with technology as well because yesterday this one computer i was using the screen was super dark, and today this other computer's screen was a dark red and I went to a different computer and that one wasn't working either. I thought wow I just shouldn't even do this assignment lol. I was sitting there when this girl Sarah (who I thought was somewhat my friend) came up to me and just started talking all this smack talk. She goes back to her seat and the entire time I kept hearing her and 4 other people chatting away about me. It made me so mad that I got up and said say it again seriously tell me this to my face! And she got up walked over to me and was yelling a bunch of random crap and ended up slapping me in the face. I pushed her back and was about to go nuts and let off on her but God gave me the strength not to and I just walked out of the class and went to the restroom to cry for awhile... Then after a bit I went into my parenting class. And of course that didn't help either because the teacher started taking about child abuse and stuff and that made memories come up and I got even more upset. Anyway after school on the bus I sat by Alex and we were having a drawing war coloring on each other lol. When I got home I was expecting my dad but he wasn't there yet and I was just super tired and stressed out so I went to bed for awhile. Of course my original goal was to start reading the chapters in the Scarlet Letter I was suppose to read I decided to put it off for a little later. dear kids that is the definition for procrastination lol.  After wards when I woke up it was about time to go but dad wasn't home yet. I started to get a bit worried but after a while longer he showed up. We were then off to youth group and the whole way in the car I was still feeling down and sad. I hoped when we got there I would be happy and stuff but of course my mind was still thinking about earlier. I hate being a woman sometimes we tend to get very emotional at times. Anyway I was happy I got to see Brett but at first it didn't feel the same. I guess because I was still thinking too much at the time that seeing him made me happier but I just felt awkward being there. I don't know exactly how to word it. Anyway we did worship time and the entire time singing I just fell apart and burst into tears. When they turned on the lights though I hurried and whiped them up so nobody else would see I was crying and ask why. Anyway soon it was time to go with our small groups. Ours for today was headed off to Culvers for their yummy custard. When we got there we prayed and talked about things we wanted to be prayed for. Melody wanted us to say things we were thankful for and they wanted me to go first. At that moment yet again I burst into tears crying saying I am so thankful there is a God I am thankful for Jesus I am thankful that I know when I die I'll go to heaven no matter what sins I made... It felt so good to let it out that after that I started feeling better. Anyway we got back to the church and I talked to Brett before I had to go and I was smiling more with him :). Then I went to my dad's car and aletha gave me a letter from my uncle. I read it and cried.. he was putting me on the guilt trip and I was falling for it. When I got home I went on facebook to talk to Brett again because I knew talking to him I would feel better. And of course it worked and now I feel much better but I am wide awake from taking a nap earlier lol. So goodnight to everyone else <3

November 13th 2012

Dear readers, 
    Well today has been a day I would say. First when I woke up my hair was a disaster. I was in a rush not to miss the bus though that I just combed it down a bit. I ended up having these awesome spikes going on on the side of my head. It actually looked super awesome. Then on the bus Daphnee and I were having our usual conversation of intellectual stuff that nobody else understands. Then when we got to school I hung out with my nerd friends. We ended up hanging out in the snack bar this time and it was really interesting. First off everybody was surrounding me and hugging. I felt so loved ha,ha. Then this guy picked up my friend J-dog (his nickname) and ended up throwing him on the ground. This guy just laughed in his face saying you got poned!! When I saw it I ran over to him, he was just laying on the ground crying in pain. I ended up picking him up and carrying him to the nurses office. When I got out of the office I went to the guy who dropped him and flipped out saying seriously how stupid can you be, what was on your mind you could have broken one of his bones!!!! I was angry... then I went into first hour all steamed up and it was hard for me to pay attention in class because I was still angry over the guy who hurt my friend. I ended up calming down though and thought about Brett again. It didn't help in English our teacher is making us write a mini term paper now. Anyway in Botany we just did notes, and I hardly payed attention at all. I am so glad that is all we did in that class because my mind was preoccupied thinking about well you know who :). Let's just say the entire day he was the only thing on my mind pretty much. In history all we did was take more notes. After history is when things started to get more interesting. I learned I have some anger issues but seriously there are way too many stupid people in our school!! In rocket academy this guy talked about the blood drive and stuff and I decided I'm going to donate although I will probably cry like a baby when they stick the needle in my arm lol.. but its worth it because afterwards we get food. Anyway the entire time the guy was talking this dude Chris kept pinching my arm. It started to hurt and so I kicked him and said knock it off. He wouldn't then he started throwing stuff at me and when the speaker left and teacher wasn't looking I punched him. He ended up stopping after that and said he was sorry :). After class he ended up kicking me really hard in the leg which I know have a bruise from. Walking to class I went up to him and tripped him... yeah I know we sound like we get along great ha,ha. That wasn't all though. When I was about to walk into my class this random person grabbed my backpack pulled me back and through me to the ground. I was so ticked that I took my bookbag off ran after him and tackled him to the ground then I punched him straight in the face. I was like seriously that was not necessary grow up!! Then I said sorry I hurt you hope it taught you a lesson though and I walked into my class. In class people we jerks and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Then after class instead of going to lunch right away I went into the office to get my bus pass and on the way back I saw my friend Tyler. We ended up just goofing off and skipping through the hallways, and he kept doing the electric slide lol. It was a ton of fun. When I finally got to lunch though I ended up sitting by my friends. My friend Will was telling me about all this crap and I ended up just straight up saying dude you need help like severely go to the hospital or something... I don't know what goes through people's minds when they do crap like that all I know is I am done hanging around him until he gets help. Then in Biology people were ticking me off in their and I about snapped so I walked straight to the counselor's office to calm me down. In algebra we got to go to the computer lab and my friends and I just goofed off the entire time messing with my computer. I ended up pushing a button to turn my screen green yellow and red. It was funny. Then parenting I got compliments on my hair bow and this girl and I were talking about churches and God. Then after school I got to ride the bus home with my friend Alex. He lives exactly where Melody lives. When we got there we nerded out. We ended up playing mario, and all these other games. His brother made me laugh because he started doing gangnam style so randomly and as soon as he did I got up and dance to. then I had to take my phone out and see my background <3. The entire time I missed him and couldn't wait till I saw him and got to talk to him again. Anyway it was a ton of fun tonight. We had pizza and I made a pizza disaster getting sauce all over my hair and face lol, then after awhile I had to go home. When I went home I got straight online as usual and Alex sent me a message saying his mom likes me :). Which is good because if I wasn't liked I would feel bad. Which reminds me I hope Brett's parents like me I never asked but I am guessing they do. Sorry that was a little random thought. Anyway I am now dancing around my room and enjoying the rest of my night :). So goodnight everyone!!

November 12th 2012

Dear readers,
    So today has been a pretty good day I would have to say overall. First of all I got to the school and my friend was there waiting for me again to hang out and we talked nerdy again. That's always fun ha,ha. Anyway 1st hour we had a quiz which I totally bombed today. 2nd hour we got a new student in our class and she was my partner for the lab we did. 3rd we had a substitute so all we did was write vocab notes. 4th hour was rocket academy and the entire time I was texting Brett and throwing pencils and stuff at this guy. He kept hitting me and stuff so I got him back :). 5th hour we had a pretest for the actual test tomorrow which I am hoping I do good on. At lunch I was practicing the song I am going to sing for the talent show. This guy Austin was annoying me the entire time though singing this rap song he claims he is going to do for the talent show.... It's a terrible song I can't stand to listen to that music in my own opinion. Afterwards I went to Biology class. We did a lab in their with an onion and food dye. I started turning blue. Throughout times in there also I was texting Brett and talking to my friend Crystina all about him :). Anyway after class I met up with Alex and we were talking about having a nerd fest sometime and all getting together and dressing up playing video games. In Algebra we got more homework of course which I will finish tomorrow probably. Then in parenting we had a review for a test we have tomorrow. And my friends and I were just talking and stuff. After school I went outside and had a arm wrestling contest with this guy (which I won). He claims he was taking it easy on me but I could tell he was trying his best. Anyway on the bus I was talking to my friend Daphnee about life and she gave me reasons for relationships and stuff. Then these girls were talking about sexy guys and Daphnee said we don't care who you think is sexy shut up and I was like Jesus is sexy, then she said yes he is. And I was like it's the beard and we cracked up laughing lol :). Oh fun times can't wait for Brett to ever meet her ha,ha. When I finally got home I went on facebook and saw he was online so I got to talking to him more. I ended up just cooking up a ton of random food and fattening myself up and watching Mary Poppins. The entire time I was singing along and cracking up to things we were talking about. It was great :). Then my dad finally got home and we were jumping around the room and dancing. And of course he made more food, and of course I talked to Brett more. And now I am procrastinating on doing my homework and doing random things. So hope you all  had a great fun night as well!! <3

November 11th 2012

Dear readers,
    So today was a ton of fun!! I woke up late though and I got dressed in like 3 minutes and brushed my hair in the car while having my dad speed to get me to the church. It was funny as soon as i got out of the car the wind took off with my hair and dress. So much for brushing it I guess. Anyway I was super happy to see him and all my friends again. We got our music and went out to the balcony thingy to figure out where we were going to sit. It was super embarrassing though because I kept stepping on my dress and I ended up falling up the stairs. I laughed though it was kinda funny, especially if you were the one watching me. Anyway we found our seats and the first service started and we sang our songs and it was a lot of fun. Then afterwards we got doughnuts and orange juice. Well I took my time because I am a super messy eater and I didn't want to embarrassed myself again ha,ha. Melody wanted to talk to me about something so she pulled me off to the side. When she turned around I shoved the rest of the doughnut in my mouth. It was so funny she turns back around and was like did you seriously just eat that entire thing?! Afterwards we went into the senior high room. It was hard to pay attention today because I was just super happy and we kept messing around with pen caps :). Anyway he dismissed us and we went back to the balcony thingy for another service. I kept wanting to raise my hands and open them to the Lord in a couple of the songs but I didn't I was smiling really big though. I saw my sisters and I was just happy to the Lord for all that he does <3. After that I expected to go to the rest of the service but instead we went back to the room to get more orange juice. I watched Brett just chug the entire thing down and I laughed a bit it was funny. :) We all ended up just staying in the room and messed around. I was singing the song Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood for Melody, I need to practice singing in front of people more for the talent show. She told me I had a really pretty voice and it boosted my confidence a lot. I thank God so much for giving me the voice to sing. Anyway after that Melody and Tim just went to go get their instruments and Brett and I walked around and sat with my other friends Victoria and Taylor. I ended up holding his hand for the first time :). Service was over and he had to go so we hugged goodbye again. When I went home I just watched a movie and I slept for the rest of the afternoon. Finally it was time to go back for teen choir. I was super happy we had it tonight so I could see him again <3. When I got there it was like an hour early so I just walked around the entire church and organized everybody's  music. People kept switching the numbers around and it was driving me crazy. Anyway my friend Victoria showed up and was telling me about the song joy to the world how the sopranos have to get up to the A. I was like oh no this is gonna be interesting lol. Even though I knew I could do it because Aletha wanted me to sing and see how high I could go :). Anyway Brett finally showed up and haha yes yet again I had an urge to just wrap my arms around him but I got shy AGAIN lol. Anyway practice started and it was a lot of fun :D I love singing a ton. After practice we all walked outside and it was raining out. Brett and I said goodbye and we kissed again. To be honest it was even better then the first <3 and it was raining which was kinda funny. The whole way home I was singing the song sparks fly by taylor swift. And here I am just talking to him <3 and I can't wait till next week because we are going to the festival of lights together!!! LIGHT SHOW LIGHT SHOW LIGHT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

November 10th 2012

Dear readers,
      So I am sorry again for missing yesterday. But anyway here is how it went. I woke up at like 7 and was super tired. Why I keep waking up super early on a weekend I have no idea. Anyway my friend had to go and her mom came to get her so after she left I just stayed in bed till about 10. As soon as i got out of bed my dad said we were going to Chick Fi Le for breakfast. Yes they have a breakfast there but I don't recommend going. 1. They have less staff and it takes almost an hour to get your food and 2. their portions are super tiny and not filling. Anyway we went there and for some reason I wasn't feeling good and I ended up getting sick afterwards. Also I asked a super stupid question saying why do they call it that when their mascot is a cow. I didn't realize the cows want us to eat more chicken lol. Anyway after that we went to the mall for a couple hours. It was fun I went through a ton of stores and found a ton of awesome stuff I wish I had. (note that mostly everything was hello kitty) Anyway I saw this awesome hat and stealth mode shirt I really wanted. So far I got the hat which is awesome but I can't wait to get the shirt. My new saying is stealth mode lol. After the mall I went home and had to clean more apartment. My brother and dad were watching old green bay games on a movie, but soon it was time for me to go hang with Brett. Waiting for him I was playing on the playground. I saw this random car pull up and at first I thought it was him so I ended up walking up to it but I didn't know the person. They just looked at me weird like why is this little girl coming up to my car lol. Anyway finally he showed up and I got all happy and stuff again. We went to his place and I finally got to watch inception :D. He was super right the movie was awesome and it's been stuck in my head since. During the whole movie I noticed I kept moving closer and closer to him. I really wanted to just cuddle up to him and hold his hand but I was so nervous and blushing so bad that I didn't. After inception we were talking about the movie despicable me. I was wondering if you had it on spanish with subtitles on then what would it say for the minions. So we put it on spanish with French subtitles. It was the funniest thing and I was laughing so hard because of the geru's voice. It was super annoying but funny. Anyway it was soon time for me to go home and I was sad. I didn't want to leave yet :/... He took me home and we saw a deer and were gonna get out to see it, but somehow he got the car to not start again. I was glad we got to spend more time together. We ended up just sitting in the parking lot for a bit longer and talking. He,he yet again I had the urge to just hug him and not let go but I held back. I think I should really stop holding back lol, one of these times I am just gonna go for it :). Anyway my dad and sisters pulled up and I had to go, and I knew he did to... So we ended up hugging again and this time I kissed him. It was great!! <3 Anyway the rest of my night was just watching a movie with my sisters and talking to Brett on facebook.

summer camp

Dear readers,
    This is just a brief little summary of my time at youth camp this past summer. I am mostly posting this one for a certain person :).
        So I was in my room looking around thinking what am I missing or did I pack it all already. I hope I don't miss something. There was the knock at the door and my heart started to race. It was Melody and Tim coming to pick me up so we could go to the church. My heart was racing, for some reason I was super nervous it was the first time I have ever gone to a camp before and I knew nobody there. I see how it is on the movies and was scared. We got to the church and there we got on the bus. I had no clue where at all to sit. There was so many people, I am so happy though I got to sit with Melody. It was great though getting to sit by somebody I knew. Anyway we had a really good trip there just talking about everything and talking about what we were looking forward to and nervous about. Finally we got to camp. Tim kept talking like wow this is a lot different then last year and saying stuff we had no clue about considering it was our first year. Anyway we had to go pick which room we were going to stay in, we ended up meeting 5 different people. They were super nice, we all introduced ourselves. Anyway the first day was fun and I was nervous at the lunch table to. We had no clue where to sit and wanted to sit by Tim but the table he was at was already filled with people. Anyway sorry to skip a lot but later that evening Tim and Brett forced Melody and I into playing farkle. (at this time I had no clue who he was, it was first time we met). I was wondering what were we gonna be in for, considering the stories I have heard people talking about already. Anyway it came down to me and this other person. Unfortunately guess who won? Yeah that's right I did.... the guys told me I had to play a game of charades. I was super nervous I knew I sucked at acting!! Anyway that night I prayed to God that I would he would get me through it. So the next day I woke up and first thing Melody said was "are you ready?" lol I was so nervous. Anyway the day seemed to go by super fast, before I knew it I had to do charades.... oh my goodness I was right about sucking at acting! For the word goldfish the smart thing to do would be make a fish face and point to a person's gold shirt but no I ended up just moving my hand in a wave xD good thing after awhile somebody guessed it. Some of them were super hard. Especially the flying dinosaur. Somehow though somebody guessed it right off the bat. Thank goodness, anyway after it was over I was super happy and relieved. I am a dumby though because every day after that I would still play farkle lol. Anyway the week went on and it was such a ton of fun!! I never had a funner time. I met so many new people and played a ton of games I just had a blast! I hate to skip the entire week but there's so many stories to tell. Anyway Friday night I would have to say is one of the best nights ever. So throughout the week let's just say I kept seeing Brett around and I was thinking I was starting to like him. I thought I was just saying that though, but by Friday I realized I absolutely did like him. And I liked him a lot :) so that night we talked a lot more then we did before and it was amazing. At one moment I about let it out and told him that I really liked him then and there but then Melody popped up. I think it was God saying its not the right time yet.  I felt super happy, and when I finally got inside I saw on one of the couches with a bunch of my other friends and told them all about him. One of my friends ended up looking him up on facebook (which they broke a rule) but once I saw his picture I was like yeah thats him hehe and my heart started aching and I wished that I was back with him talking again. The rest of that night and the next morning I couldn't stop thinking about him. I hoped I would get to sit by him on the bus but that didn't work out. Anyway on the way back to the church I kept thinking about him and wondering how he was doing and what he was doing. I couldn't wait until we got back to the church so I could see and talk to him again. When we got there after a bit of talking it was time for me to go and we had to say our goodbyes until Sunday. That was the first time I hugged him :). Anyway when I got back home my dad told me he was reborn and just that night was great. I hurried and got his number from Melody that way I could text him and talk to him still :). I can't wait until next year!! It'll be our one year next year since we first met each other :). Which changed my life for the greaterness, and was best thing that happened to me <3. So happy were together now :) and I couldn't ask for anybody else or anybody better because there is no such thing.

November 9th 2012

Dear readers,
    This lovely morning I bought Krispey Kreme doughnuts :). First hour of course we read more Scarlet Letter and told the class our most embarrassing moments. I have a ton of those and most are about me walking into something. Like the other day Jonathan had a sword and I walked right into it. I swear I am the most clutsey person I know ha,ha. Second hour we got to go to the computer lab and draw pictures of cells. Oh yeah fun stuff I know. Third hour we had that terrible history test. Fourth hour we actually had a veterans day assembly today. I got super angry at a lot of people for being super disrespectful. I mean come on these people died for us and fought for us to be free, without them we wouldn't be where we were today show some freaking respect. Not only that but there are still a ton of people in war including my 2 cousins. Anyway after the assembly I ended up hugging a ton of my friends and trying to comfort them because a lot of people were crying. Fifth hour we got a free day and got to play pictureta or whatever the heck the game is called. It's just like charades except it's drawing which I suck even worse at :). But today I didn't do so bad, it was fun. At lunch I got a bunch of candy and food.I have decided that I'm just going to sit in the cafeteria until the bell rings for now on, because so far everyday this girl Sharyl walks up to me and has something new to tell me about this girl Kate and it just ruins my day. In Biology we did a microscope project and I felt smart for once teaching all the freshies how to use it. After Biology for some reason I started to have another breakdown and cry though so I went and talked to my counselor. She makes me laugh :) and really tells it like it is. Anyway I talked to her for a bit till I was feeling better to go to class. And in Algebra yet again we played a game of picturwhatever the heck it's called haha. Then after that it was parenting and i talked to my friend kayla and kelsey the whole time and talked about how many kids I want and what my parenting skills will be. After school I called my grandpa up and decided to go spend some time with him and see how he was doing. He really appreciated that. I feel so loved all my friends on the bus were excited I was on. Also my other bus I usually am on drove passed and honked at me. Anyway after hanging with my gramps I decided to have my friend Kayla spend the night and hang out :) so here I am. And wish me luck tonight I am staying up the entire night. I havn't done this since the sickpuppie's concert with my best friend Haley.

November 8th 2012

Dear readers,
    To start off this morning I prayed to God to help me get through it. I woke up at 6 am on the dot and had plenty of time to get ready for school. I walked to the bus stop and talked to my friends there. Theres some really weird people that are at my stop.... this guy was talking about gang symbols and being weird and all of us just looked at him like are you really speaking? ha,ha anyway Miss Penny our bus driver is always super late. It's super annoying because I like to be early to school. Anyway I got on the bus and sat my Daphnee, and my friend Alex sat behind us. He is always super quite so I kept turning around to talk to him and see how he was doing and stuff :). I think he appreciated that somebody cared. Anyway we finally got to school but super late and I walked in chatting away to everybody. See I used to be a really shy person and was too scared to speak but now I have to admit I am one of the loudest people in the hallways. Anyway first hour we read more of the Scarlet Letter and I have to admit I really like the book. Second hour in Botany my teacher kept cracking jokes that seemed like nobody understood but me. Third hour we had a review game for our test tomorrow. It got really competitive :) our team was called the black hawks. And the other team was called little turtles and we were like hawks eat turtles so there!! haha. Anyway 4th hr in rocket academy I cleaned out my bookbag and pretty much... well I wasted the entire hour doing nothing pretty much lol. Then after class I usually go and talk to Melody and this time when the bell rang and I went to go meet up with Melody I saw her walking with my ex boyfriend and laughing... I sting of jealousy ran through me but also I just embarrassed myself. I ended up doing a really high pitched girly voice like "hey melody!! and...Sam" If you can imagine a girly voice lol. It was so awkward. Anyway in accounting we did another review and watched these hysterical youtube videos. Look up girl falls on catwalk. She wobbles like a deer trying to keep her balance. At lunch I decided to just sit in there until the bell rang to avoid people. I took a spoon and fork and tried cutting up everything i possible could. Including an orange which made a huge mess on my tray. In Biology we did another confusing project I had no clue what the heck I was doing on it. Then after I class I was walking in the hallway and saw Sam again. This time I decided to be friendly and say hello how are you doing... for one split second he actually smiled at me..  I was completely shocked and also very shakey and nervous because it was my first time talking to him since the breakup. Anyway I went into Algebra class just like staring off into outer space. My friend Sarah started saying how her and her boyfriend broke up again. (just to let you know they broke up and got back together over 20 times now). It's not a healthy relationship at all but they both seem to be attached and needy to each other. Anyway when she mentioned they broke up again I knew it wasn't going to last long. Class got started and the entire time my mind was preoccupied on other things. I guess I started having guilt feelings about things and bursting into tears. I tried to hide it as much as I could but a couple people noticed... finally the bell rang and I was super glad. In parenting we are doing a drawing project and thinking about our future families and how we are going to discipline our kids. Well I suck at drawing and my stick figures turned out to be 10 feet tall it seemed. Everyone laughed at my drawing skillz, I felt so embarrassed.  Anyway at the end of school I walked outside and hung out with all my friends. Theres this guy who had duct tape and I did a stupid thing and wrapped my arms in it. On the bus I decided to take it off... and yes it was extremely painful!! I ended up sitting next to Alex and the entire time we had a poking contest :) shows how bored we are with our lives lol. Anyway I got home and cooked mac n cheese, danced like an idiot, and when my dad got home we went and did laundry. There you go another day in Kassie's life. :) goodnight

High School Blog Day 10

Dear readers,

     Today I woke up super late. I had to hurry and get ready in only 10 minutes. For a girl, it seems impossible to do but I did it and I still looked good :). On the bus I saw my wifey, Daphnee, I was super happy she is back to riding the bus again. It's a long story on why she is my wifey lol. Anyway first hour we started reading the Scarlet Letter. To me it is a good book so far, only because the movie easy A got me interested in it. Second hour we had a test.... I wasn't ready at all for it. Hoping I did good though, I will check after this. Third we had a mini battle in class. It was girls against guys, as always we always win. Rocket academy was the same as usual had to give advice and deal with people. Ummm something interesting did happen at lunch though. My best friend Will and I talked the entire hour. He was telling me how he wants to be saved and accept Christ into his heart. He wants to learn more about the bible and God. It meant so much to me and I was super happy for him. So hopefully this Sunday he will go to church with me. After school I was just counting down the minutes until I got to go to youth group. Finally it was time to and oh my gosh tonight was great!! The game we played was a ton of fun and seeing him just made my heart go crazy <3. After youth group I got to talk to him for a little bit but my dad was waiting on me outside and so I had to go. We hugged for quite a long time and I didn't wanna go. I ended up kissing him on the cheek and I blushed extremely bad. =:) it was awesome though and I am super happy I gained courage to do something. But oh those seconds being in his arms were the best <3. I hope I don't have to wait until Sunday to see him again. I'm going to miss him too much. Anyway thats all for today so goodnight. And make sure to watch the show Nashville :).

High School Blog Day 9

Dear readers,

       To start of yesterday I would like to say nothing interesting at all happened. As usual and I know in my very first blog I promised you if you got to reading this more you will find yourself entertained. Well don't worry sometime my life will get interesting :). In the meanwhile you must stick with me. It's like reading a book at school where it starts to get interesting and you can't wait to find out what happens but then the teacher says she will save the rest for tomorrow. 

  As for yesterday, I woke up kind of late so as usual no time to eat breakfast I was right out the door. On the bus I just enjoyed listening to my cd of Carrie Underwood. I am hoping to get involved with the school talent show and sing Jesus Take the Wheel. In first hour, my friend Steve wasn't there and I was a little disappointed because he is the only one in that class I actually talk to. Anyway we just talked about different crimes and the right way to punish somebody for them. Second hour was Botany. To me, I enjoy learning about plants and leaves and stuff, because we take them for granted. There are more to them, more life to them and things they do for us then we even think about. Third hour was history and we talked about Jefferson and stuff. Not too interesting. 4th hour we have rocket academy and that class is pretty much just a study hall. There's these 3 people in the class that kind of annoy me though. They're my friends but they absolutely annoy me. Like this guy Chris to tick me off he repeats Sam's name over and over again, this other guy Cody wants me to give him advice for all his girl problems and how to understand a woman, and this girl Kayla loves food. She begs everyone to give her food and raids through my bookbag trying to find some. Anyway then 5th hour is accounting and everything we do in there is super easy. After 5th hr I have lunch and it's okay I guess, people there annoy me to :). As you can tell I get annoyed very easily. 6th hour was biology (yes I had to retake a freshmen class) it's always interesting. 
    There are so many loud mouth freshies in that class though that I have to put in their place and teach them this is high school grow up and shut up :) but not that meanly of course. Anyway then algebra and parenting were my last two classes. I couldn't wait till after school because then I could talk to Brett.

High School Blog Day 8

Dear readers,

      Yesterday was one of the best days in the entire week :). I got to see my boyfriend a ton. First I woke up and wrote my blog saying good morning, then I listened to music and danced with my little sisters.
     After goofing off for awhile I got ready for church. Dad dropped me off for Sunday school and as soon as I walked inside the first person I saw and talked to was his dad :). I have bad hearing, though, so sometimes I kept saying what. I hate when that happens. Anyway after that I went to the senior high room and then I saw him. Ahhh yet again my heart went crazy. We sat down and then since it was first Sunday of the month we got to pray. I needed that, just to talk to God and thank him for everything.
    
     Afterwards was regular service and I got to sit by him, and my best friend Melody. It was fun, I'm a jokester haha... Anyway service started and I kept looking over at him and just wishing I would get the courage to hold his hand. It didn't happen. I chickened out ha,ha. Anyway after service my sisters were dragging me out. I went to hug him but my sister Journey grabbed my arm and so I bumped the side of my face in his neck. I was blushing so much. We went home to get ready for the movie, and I decided I couldn't wait to see him again so I invited him to come. 

    We went and saw Wreck It Ralph, it was awesome. I loved that movie, see I knew it was going to be good. I know a good thing when I see it lol. Take Brett for instance ;). Anyway after the movie I had to say goodbye again until choir. So we went and dropped stuff off at my brothers in Washington and by the time we got back it was about time for choir. I walked inside and since I still had time, I was trying to tune up my guitar. I call it a midget guitar though because it's so short. And yes I had so many people say the same thing. 
    
    Anyway, the whole time during choir I kept looking over to see him. I couldn't stop looking back :) I smiled super big. It's hard not to whenever I see him. Anyway after choir was over of course I talked to my friends for a bit before I left. I walked out to the parking lot and was looking for my dad's car but it was hidden behind another car so I didn't see it right away. He waited for me until I did <3. Then we said goodbye again. Man how much I just wanted to stay like that for a long time and not even let him go :). Anyway when I got home I texted him again of course, cuz I already started missing him. Then I got ready for bed and slept. And so here we are for today. And to be honest I have nothing really to tell except that I couldn't stop thinking about him the entire day. I kept daydreaming about seeing him again, and how I really need to stop being so shy <3. Sorry, I talk about him a lot it's just that I haven't felt this way in awhile and ahhhhh I'm super happy!! 

    Oh and also my friends told me I am their hitman. So apparently I am a hired assasin if ever you need to get rid of somebody haha..... hope the cops don't read this. Anyway goodnight <3 hope you all had a fantastic day!!

High School Blog Day 7

Dear readers, 
      To start off my morning I woke up. Yes I woke up how did that happen on a Saturday?? People love to sleep in but nope I can never. Especially living with my dad he is such a morning person! who does dishes at 6 am? Oh well it was a fantastic day!! I jammed out to music and danced like an idiot to start my morning off. Not only that but Brett was on my mind and I just ahhh was super happy :D to wake up and know yay!! I'm finally going out with the guy I like. Life is great people enjoy every moment of it!!!!! Anyway After a long time I finally decided to get dressed and ready for my day. First off my dad and I went to find where the purity ball was suppose to be. It was super easy, finding it we almost got in a wreck. Thanks dad, good driving skills. After we went to Kohls so he could get a dress shirt. I looked at all the awesome T-shirts while he did that. I wanted the super mario one but I was gonna wait. i checked out the 5 dollar animals. No offense to other blondes but lets just say I had a very epic blonde moment today. (yes i am a blonde myself) anyway I didn't realize there was a mirror behind the animals and I looked up and saw myself and I jumped. It was so funny I scared myself. Finally I went to find my dad and we went out to the parking lot to wait for my brother. We had to give him the house key and car seats so he could get my little sisters. After that we went to steak n shake. Of course I complained about the food again. Why do pictures have to trick you and make the food look more delicious than what it really is... false advertising people!! It's like what presidents have to say we are going to make a better america... *cough* *cough* uhh yeah sure goodluck with that. Afterwards we went back home and made a cake. Well to be honest my dad made the cake and I ate the yummy cake mix while talking to Brett <3. Gahhh he gives my tummy the butterflies and makes me happy. I then had to get in my dress and get ready for the purity ball. I looked and felt like a princess :) and looked like I was getting married haha. We then took off for the ball. It was a ton of fun I met so many of my friends there and talked to other people I never knew went to limestone and had a blast!! At the beginning nobody was dancing and everybody looked too down so my friend Victoria and I got on the dance floor and started doing Gangnam Style. It was the funniest thing ever :D and a ton of fun. Then people got on stage and started talking about purity and shtuff. I got so much out of it and really opened my eyes I started balling my eyes out. Especially when I gave my dad the key to my heart and we really opened up with each other. I felt so happy and I couldn't hold it all inside. We then prayed with each other for a new start and pure clean hearts <3. My dad told me he wanted to meet Brett and he better meet high standards lol. I know he does though :D I set them high for once... I could already tell when I met him that he wasn't a huge jerk face like everyone else I dated was. I feel so happy all the time with him and Melody can tell that to. Then it was time to dance. I think my dad and I were the best dancers there although I don't mean to brag hehe. But it was a ton of fun. I got to start ballet dancing to :D it was fun!! Anyway I got so tired that it was time to go home. By the time we got there my sisters were there waiting for us. I ended up getting on facebook right away to talk to Brett and tell him about my night which talking to him made it like 1000 times better as well :D. And now I am playing music and dancing like an idiot again because I am absolutely truely happy <3.

High School Blog Day 6

Dear readers,
     So on Friday we had a half day. It was awesome I ended up staying up late on thursday night just because I knew we only had a half day. It was pretty good not much happened we mostly just watched videos in class and did whatever. After school on the bus I was talking to this guy Malikie( and no don't ever say he's from children of the corn because he gets super mad) and this guy Sam about D&D. For those who don't know D&D is a roll playing game and its dungeons and dragons. A super fun nerdy game and I am trying to find people that would like to play it with me :). I shall be dungeon master!! haha anyway there was also this kid who reminded me of the little boyscout off of the movie up. He was super hyper and crazy and extremely talkative. It was a really fun bus ride though :). We got back to Tim's and ate lunch. I of course checked my facebook and watched tv for awhile. Tim left for a bit to go hang out with his friend Will in the woods. I got to stay home alone for a little while so i turned the tv onto the music station and ended up passing out on the couch. I woke up to Tim talking ha,ha. Anyway he went to go get Melody and so his little brother, Jonathan, and I were just messing around. We were bowling with little bouncy balls and being destructive :). After awhile they got back and we all went hiking. It was a fun hike! Don't ask me how but Jonathan and I decided that Melody has thumbs for feet, a neck for legs, and a foot for a head. Long story haha. Anyway I usually fall a lot going down hills but I think I gave my bad luck to Melody because the entire time she kept sliding :) it was funny. Sometimes we had to walk along fallen trees. I crawled across though because I had a bad experience hiking before. The tree was up higher and there was a thorn bush underneath it. Well first of all I was walking across it and i lost my balance I would have fell into the little creek but my friend grabbed me in time... Also before that I fell into a thorn bush and he had to pick me up and carry me out... it was extremely painful. So anyway let's just say I was super careful this time. Although I ended up walking into a thorn bush thing again and got one of those needle things stuck i my hand.. By accident I said the S word and corrected myself by screaming shoot shoot shoot xD haha and over dramatizing the pain of it. We got to this place where there was chunks of cement going up a hill. Melody was smart and took the short path but the rest of us decided to try and climb  it. It was fun :) the lasst time I did that my sister slipped and about feel so I had to give her a piggy back the rest of the way up. Anyway when we got to the top we just relaxed and threw rocks at a tree. My aim sucks so I missed the tree the entire time. Everyone laughed at me and my epic fail. It was time to go back though because my dad was going to be there so we ended up climbing back down and going home. That night I had chick fa la for the first time in Peoria. I thought it ws such a rip off 6 dollars for 3 tiny chicken strips. Anyway then we went to Target and got me kit kat bars :D. I then spent the rest of night talking to my new boyfriend <3 and then I fell asleep.

High School Blog Day 5

Dear readers,
        First off I would like to say that I am sorry for not doing good about updating this thing. But I have somebody to keep reminding me now to do so. Thank him :). Anyway First I shall tell about Thursday. I first woke up feeling miserable and I thought already oh no today isn't gonna go good. Well I turned out to be right. In 5th hour I was so tired and miserable I started to cry. I ended up going to lunch and just feeling sad so I didn't eat. I was talking to a couple of my friends when all of a sudden I heard a thumping noise. I thought at first someone got hurt I didn't know what to make of it. I looked around wondering what was going on when I see people forming a circle. I ran over to see what happened and I saw this girl, Kendra sitting on top of this other girl and slamming her head into the floor. Everyone was watching and laughing saying fight fight fight . I just stood there mouth open like oh my God this girl looks like she is gonna die if nobody does anything. I didn't wanna get involved though and try to stop her because I didn't wanna get attacked as well. Finally teachers ran over and broke them apart. I am so glad there was a garbage can there because I ended up getting sick. The girl who got her head slammed into the floor was covered in blood. She had scratches all over her face and her skull was cracked open... It was the most disgusting sight I've seen. They both went to the office, and then the bell rang. I went to my 6th hour class like sitting in shock. Finally class started and this other girl latris ended up starting a fight with somebody in class. Not only that this other girl started an argument with the teacher. I turned to my friend Sarah and asked what is up with everyone today, I mean seriously our school is starting to seem like central. After that I ended up just laying my head down on the desk and passing out. I guess I was late to my 7th hour and people were trying to wake me up, but i was gone. Anyway I went to my 7th hour and learned stuff then 8th hour I had another super tired moment. My friend, Taylor asked what was wrong and I told her I was just tired and thinking too much as always. This other girl Kayla started telling me about my ex boyfriend. I was thinking seriously?! It's been over between us for awhile now don't be telling me crap. Anyway apparently he's into this other girl now although I really don't give a rats. But i ended up snapping on her and she stopped talking to me for a day. After school I went back to Tim's and we ended up going shopping for stuff for our shoe boxes. First we picked Melody up then went to Deals. The whole time Tim and I kept cracking jokes :D it was funny. Melody was texting my crush the entire time. I never stopped to ask what she was talking about though, although later in the night I went back to read through text. Anyway we got back and finished filling our boxes then Tim's mom and I took Melody back home. When we got back I went to bed and texted Brett. He ended up asking me out and I about screamed with excitement haha. Melody is mad though because she said she doesn't count us dating unless he asks me in person. I just laughed I was too happy to care either way. Anyway that was the end to that day.
