you'd think God was fast forwarding time by how fast it's passing.

2008-09-06T21:15:00.000-07:00

Time is flying by, and I haven't been posting very much at all.

so here are some recent happenings in my life.

My family recently spent a weekend in Strawberry AZ, a wonderful place. I'll try and post pics from that later.

School started back up, and with that comes the endless supply of schoolwork. Homework. Homework. Homework. I have to say that I am actually enjoying it for the most part this year. I am happier than two happy things, on happy bread, with a happy pickle in each hand, on happy island to be seeing my Charise again. I like all my classes this year, except Algebra II, which is mostly because Algebra is not something I am good at.

Also, I am going to post a couple pictures of my with my glasses. Some that I think I look okay in, which is very rare.

Mostly I am all schoolwork right now. I am trying to follow a schedule, but seeing as I am going out of town on Tuesday, I think I will be able to follow it better when I get back.

I can't wait for Oregon. I'll be there soon enough! I have a lot of people to see so hopefully that will all happen, and a lot of BIG hugs to give.

Okay well Gilmore Girls is calling my name, so i will talk to you later.

So a while ago I turned fourteen. It wasn't really a big deal, I just kind of chilled for the day. With the exception of the fact that a trip to the optometrist informed me that I have began the process of slowly going blind.

So now you'll find me wearing glasses most all the time, unless I am reading.

I would post pictures but I'm afraid that will have to wait until I get back from Oregon. Seeing as I am going to see what my brother's think when I get there. I don't want them trying to sneak a peak. :P

Yes, I am now officially a nerd, and all that time I tried to hide it. ;]
Don't worry though my glasses look nothing like the ones in that picture. I just put that up to give the full nerdy feel. :]

I suppose now I look a little bit more like a writer, perhaps that could be a good thing . . .
Well a writer or a librarian, I prefer the first though. :]

Sunday Afternoons

2008-08-03T14:08:00.000-07:00

For some reason Sunday afternoon is always the day I don't feel like doing ANYTHING.
I just never feel like taking the time to do anything except nap and watch TV.
So anyways, I am actually surprised I am writing this, because it is after all a Sunday afternoon.

The newest Twilight book is out, Breaking Dawn.
I preordered my copy so now I have to wait till Tuesday to get it.
I will probably be reading it for the rest of the day.

Other than that nothing is really going on. My birthday is tomorrow, but this year I'm not doing anything too special.

Charise :]

2008-07-28T17:45:00.000-07:00

Okay so lately my Charise has been missing. Of course, she's not actually missing, she's just up in Prescott for a few days with another one of our friends Jessie.
Without my Charise my life has suddenly become boring. It's funny how when the person you talk to every day for an hour suddenly vanishes you realize how pathetically addicted you are to seeing how they are everyday.
Perhaps this means I care about her a little too much. :] Nah, that's not possible. :]

Thankfully, she is coming home on this faithful night.
I hope she gets home at a decent hour so she'll be able to call and fill me in on her adventures.
Also this is perfect timing for her to get back because tomorrow is ice skating. :]
And I'm pretty jazzed for that.

random thoughts :]

2008-07-27T09:16:00.001-07:00

Hello all,

Well it's Sunday morning and I am sitting around waiting to go to church.

Nothing much has really been going on. I woke up at 2:30 in the morning on Saturday with the horrible feeling on vomit coming up my throat. Let's just say i didn't get much sleep the rest of the night.
Don't worry I'm all better now, I even ate some Pollo Loco last night for dinner.

My family's kitty Sukie, who had been missing for almost two weeks has come home.
We had all pretty much given up hope of her return, what with the coyotes and what not.
Except for Lauren she kept diligently praying, and finally at four this morning my mother heard Sukie meowing outside.
We are all pretty happy about her return, she is however a great deal lighter.
So we will have to get working on getting our fat cat again. :]

What on earth would we do without good books, Mad Libs, I-Pods, and Lakes.

2008-07-20T22:20:00.000-07:00

As you may have already read on my mother's Blog my family and I recently traveled to Lake Havasu for a short get away from the hustle and bustle of Phoenix.

Random thoughts on the trip.

First of all I am so thankful that there are good books out there that you can read in the car for like 500 hours while your father stops at church's to make money to pay the bills, and buy food, etc. =]
Anna and I read most of the way, we were both able to finish the books we brought a long (PS, I love you, and A Walk to Remember) and on the way back I ever got into the first couple chapters of Peter Pan. (One of the two books I picked up along the way, THANKS MOM AND POPS!)

I actually took this before our trip, but it was the only picture I had of PS, I love you.

My beautiful sister reading

Secondly, have you ever realized how funny and entertaining Mad Libs are? My parents bought Calvin and Loey each a book of them at the books store and they ended up entertaining us all. Calvin and Loey would burst out in fits of laughter as Myself, Mom or Anna would read the finished product to them.

A picture I snapped while doing a Mad Lib with Loey

Mom and Cal relaxing at the hotel with some Mad Libs

Loey working on one for me! =]

Third is rather short, I just thought I should mention that I-pods really help to keep down the irriation and annoyance that goes on while traveling in the car for five hours. =]

Fourth is of course LAKES! I don't know how I would live without them. I like them a lot more than pools, to me the water always feels fresher. I don't really know why but it does.

Myself, looking chubby, slowly making my way into the lake. =]

Sixth, is more of a thank you to my wonderful father for purchasing sweet treats for the whole family. Most of us decided on shaved Ice, except for my father and big sister, who got ice cream.

Me looking weird eating my wonderful tongue dying desert.

My very Cute sister looking silly while eating her desert.

Seventh, A Salsa bar is only as good as the salsa it holds. As for the one in the pictures below is way so-so, nothing TOO special. The Salsa Verde was my favorite. I thought it was a little peculiar they didn't have any mild salsa for my heat hating father. =] SORRY DAD!

Anna at the Salsa Bar. =]

Myself at the Salsa bar. =]

Well thanks for taking the time time to read this. Be sure to check out my Mom's blog to see some more interesting pictures. =]

Forever and A Day

2008-07-20T21:12:00.000-07:00

Okay so I haven't posted in like forever and a day. SO this is really just a catch up post, nothing too special.

Summer has been going fine. Nothing too special really, just the usually vegetation nation.
I just finished reading PS, I Love You, a book that one of my favorite movies is based on. It was BETTER than the movie. But I always think the book is better.
So now that I finished that I am reading Peter Pan, a classic. It's been pretty good so far. I know it's kind of a little kid book, but I am in LOVE with Peter pan.
After Peter Pan, I am planning on moving onto Persuasion by Jane Austen. A literary classic.
(I'll have to post something on Jane Austen later.)
Then after Persuasion Penelope, another book that was made into one of my favorite movies.
The only problem is I have no idea who wrote Penelope so if you do feel free to post the author/authoresses name.

But Actually I am chomping at the bit to get back to school. Not for the homework but because I really miss seeing my best friends everyday.

...And now FINALLY! My BIG news for this post! I am like OOBER excited because I am going to OREGON! this fall! I am actually really happy we are waiting till September to go because that way there will be a chance that we might get some rain...heck we probably will! YAY!!!!

The Importance of Black and White

2008-06-18T15:00:00.001-07:00

I was inspired to post a blog on black and white photography by this blogger HERE.

Photography one of my favorite forms of art (along with food, literature, and music) has come a very long way since the first photograph ever taken in 1814. The camera has evolved from something that only the richest people owned to something everyone ones. Not only has the camera became something that everyone owns, it's size has changed over time as well as well as the pictures it can take.

Camera's now come equipped with the ability to take pictures in color, black and white, and sepia. Where as, the original black and white only camera's.

Anyway, I am getting way of subject here. This blog is supposed to be about the "importance of black and white." (which it probably won't be really, but it was a cool title :] )

Black and white pictures are often the ones that I find myself liking the best. Here are three reasons why:

1. Simplicity: There are no fancy colors to draw your eye one way or another. Your eye is free to focus on wherever it is naturally led. The elegance is in the shot itself not the colors in the shot.
Examples: 1. The shot of the wine glass
2. The shot of the children with suckers

2. Elegance: Yes I do realize I mentioned that in the first reason as well but i have another thing so say about the elegance of black and white photography. Elegance seems to come naturally in the photo graph, no matter what the picture is of. Also like I said before the elegance is in the shot not the colors in it.
Examples: 1. The Eiffel Tower shot
2. The snowy mountain and water shot

3. Rawness: In color portraits your eye can be easily distracted by make-up, eye color, skin color, clothing, and even hair color, however with black and white you get the to see the person in the raw. There is nothing to distract you from natural beauty.
Examples: 1. The two photos of eyes only
2. The shot of the children with suckers

There are only three reason why I love black and white photography so much. I am sure there are more, that I am not at this moment going to right down. =]

Boredom and other Random Things

2008-06-15T21:16:00.000-07:00

Hello Again,

It's me, Kathryn. I am surprisingly writing this at a somewhat decent hour (9:18 pm). I don't really have anything OOBER interesting to say, but well boredom makes you blog. =]

Today is Father's day, so a special shout-out to my Dad and all the great Father's in the world.

I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!!!!!!

Have you ever noticed that when you little you always wonder why there isn't a kids day? Well, at least I used too, but now I am realizing why there isn't. I mean parents like constantly provide, love, care, clean-up-after, all of their children. ANd we expect to get a day, it's just funny to me.

The sad part is eventually, there probably will be one.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's bad to recognize how great kids are (Heck! I am one!) it's just c'mon, aren't Christmas, Easter, and Halloween all becoming kid centered anyway.

Now of course, Christmas and Easter is usually celebrated a lot differently for Christians. Because, we celebrate the true meaning. (Christ's birth and resurrection) But it seems like most non Christians have turned them into kid holidays.

Where everything is centered around the children. and Halloween is of course a children's holiday. One that I much enjoy actually. =]

Anyway! What I am saying is, now I realize that our parents totally deserve a holiday dedicated to them.

so once again...

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!

Writer's Block

2008-06-14T23:46:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone.

Once again I am writing to you late at night, for some reason that's when I always feel like blogging.

So, if you have read my previous posts you will see that I am currently writing, what I like to call a novel. Though I don't think it really is one. Novel just makes it sound all fancy and professional, so I like to call it that.

Anyway, it was all pretty much smooth sailing till I hit chapter eight. Now everything seems to be sounding jumbled and messy.
I literally rewrote chapter eight at least eight times. Finally, I got chapter eight to where I was at least happy with it.

However, now chapter nine is giving me grief. I know what happens in it, (I have pretty much the whole book outlined) I am just having trouble finding the right words to write.

It is actually getting very annoying. I think that there is where the whole "Patience is a virtue" and "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" thing comes in to play.

Anyway I guess alls I can do is keep writing and hope it eventually comes out right. =]

Wasn't this a pointless blog. =]

Lauren's (Loey) 7th Birthday!!!

2008-06-13T23:57:00.001-07:00

Well it is now exactly three minutes (AZ time) till Lauren, My adorable little sister's birthday will end. I have no idea why I waited all day to write this, but hey I am writing it now, mostly out of boredom, and the fact that I couldn't sleep.

We didn't really do anything to special today, because next week her and a few other girl's are all having a huge birthday party blow out (they all have birthday's like four consecutive days in a row.)

Lauren opened her presents today, and some of us had Banana Splits for a special desert. Those of us that appreciate the simple things in life just had vanilla ice cream and hot fudge topping. =]

Lauren is quite the reader these days and she received the book The Secret Garden as a gift, as well as some new summer-ish clothes, a Zen MP3 player, the latest Hannah Montana Cd, a puzzle and I am sure there is something I am leaving out as well.

Loey, Happy birthday I am so thankful to have you as my younger sibling. I love you babe!

I taught her to stick her tongue out so well =P

Picnik Photo Editing

2008-06-06T10:45:00.000-07:00

So I am really bored, and because my life is so ridiculously uneventful I have decided to blog about Picnik. This awesome photo editor I love to use. It's free, except for like two things which you have to get a membership to use. But they are a little too complex for me to really need to use anyway.

Anyway I thought I'd post some before and after photo's of some of my edits, that ones I like best.

Before

After. I applied the sketch effect here, and did it really heavily

Before: My sister's pink wall (in our old house)

After: Here I simple added words and the picture =]

This is the pink photo again, but I changed the color to green and just added tons of little things.

For this one I took the photo above and outlined it in neon green =]

Before: the sunset

After: I did the two tone affect. using black and a pinkish red

Before: A Tire swing. I found this picture online HERE

After: I changed the color tones a little, making it a little more green, then inverted the focal point black and white.
This one is also the cover I am going to use for my book when I am done.

To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA)

2008-06-05T09:44:00.000-07:00

To Write Love on Her Arms, is what has now become the love movement. It started when David a Christian man took Renee Yohe into his home fore five days. He and some other friends spent five days with her until, the doctors at the treatment center decided her body could handle the detox.
David and his friends sold T-shirts to help pay for Renee's treatment. The movement began with the body of Christ coming in to help one young teenager. And now it has become a huge movement helping those who battle depression, addiction, cutting, and attempted suicide. Bands such as The Almost, Paramore, Underoath, Thrice, and even bands that aren't unnecessarily Christian have become involved in this project like, the Plain White T's, and Copeland.

If you want to go to the website click HERE And their myspace.
Click HERE to watch Renee's two year sobriety video on youtube, also HERE is a special extended version.
If you want to read the full story click HERE

I found this a couple days ago, and I thought it would be cool to post something about it. I hope you agree with me that this is a great organization.

In my next blog post I'll post a picture of the logo...cause i think it's cute. =]

My Graduation

2008-06-05T00:08:00.000-07:00

Happy Thursday Everyone!!! <3

I am rather bored, yet I can't fall asleep. So I figured I'd post now what I was going to post later today.

As of May 30th 2008, I am officially a high school freshman. Now personally I think it's a little silly to throw a graduation for a kid who still has eight more years of school ahead of them. But there was a dance afterwards, and I'm a sucker for a good time. =]

My father surprised me twice that evening for not only giving a speech, (something that if you knew my father, you'd know he wouldn't normally do) but also dancing the father daughter dance with me.

My Mother manage to capture that on film, seen below. (Thanks Mom!)

The dance was a grand event for most all the ladies, who dance all the dances, whether a boy asked them or not. We did the Cha Cha slide and the Thriller dance (badly).

All in all it was a great night. Even if I still have eight more years of school.

My name is Kathryn.I am a pretty normal person....well no that's a lie. I am kind of hard to explain many have tried, but failed. xD. I like to talk to random objects, and name them......sometimes they talk back...xD I love to shop and be with friends, music is my second religion...next to God of course.

God is my rock, my strength, without him I would be nothing. He has placed me in Arizona for right now, and even though I will be the first person to say how much I dislike it, I have to trust that he has put me here for a reason. I have to have faith that he is with me, and if I had to see it to believe it, it wouldn't be faith. "It's not faith if you use your eyes." -Hayley Williams (Paramore)

Writing is what I do with almost all my free time. I usually zone out when I write, just become engulfed in it. It is fun, almost always better than the real world. My dream is to one day get published....but I doubt I ever will. My stuff kind of stinks.

School is something I go to, to pass the time, I pretty much hate it. But despite what I think, it will probably come in handy someday, except for Algebra of course xD. I don't really want to go to college that bad, but it's probably my best chance of getting out of Arizona, so I'm gonna take it. Lord willing, I'll be able to to go PSU (Portland State University), they have a great arts program.

Reading is something I should do more of. I don't read enough, but I am trying to get better at that. I usually read those cheesy teenage romance novels. My favorite books are the Twilight ones by Stephanie Meyer. Yeah me and Edward are pretty tight...xD. But I really love Jane Austen, Nicholas Sparks, and Polly Shulman. I have to read a lot for my omnibus class, so those are the books I read that aren't romancish.

Friends are something that I have lots of. The one plus of moving to Arizona is that, now I have two groups of friends. I won't name any names, because there are too many, but I love you all.

So yeah I have a great family, my parents thinks I'm the weirdest kid ever yet love me anyways, My brothers can't accept the fact that my name is no longer Katy, my sisters are the preppiest chicks ever, but I <3 them for it, We are pretty much a normal family....or at least they would be if I the semi tree hugging, hamburger hating, closest artsy fartsy type wasn't in it...xD But I love them...so lets hope they love me too.

XX,
Kathryn
