=)

Thank you everyone for your comments, all of your words have really helped me!
My life has been so busy these past few weeks! Ballroom dancing lessons, rehearsals, sleepovers, essays, etc. It's been very stressful. So, I apologize for not replying, or posting very much.
I have realized lately that I am interested in pursuing a whole bunch of things. I've always let myself believe that I haven't had a very interesting personality, quiet, mean, light-minded, etc. It seemed to me a while ago that I needed to have interests that measured up to someone else's, or interests that everyone else thought was suitable for the kind of person I am. Well, recently I've actually, really grasped that everyone is their own individual. Although you can put yourself in with a category, you really are your own. You have your own thoughts, feelings, and interests, no matter what they are. So, before I graduate, I want to make it a priority to get these things done.
I want to get involved in archery, I don't know why, but I want to. It seems like a very concentrating, peaceful activity. I want to learn German, I have a little German in me, and I've decided that I want to go to Germany. Everyone has always told me that German isn't as beautiful as the other languages, but I think it is, so there you go. I want to paint with acrylic paints more, because I love it, and it's one of the only things I can actually say I'm pretty good at. I want to learn abstract, uncommon words in the dictionary, and use them. I love words, you have a large variety to choose from when you talk to someone. I want to learn more astrology, and astronomy. I know that when someone says 'astrology', you can get freaked out. I'd rather not call it 'astrology', just for that reason. I'm not planning on predicting the future, or reading people's palms. I just believe that there are revolving magnetic pulls constantly when the planets rotate. Which can have an effect on your personality when you're born. So, I'm really sorry if that offends you, that's just what I believe.
Anyway, thank you for reading! I have to go finish stuff. =(

Quirky Quote Qontest Entry

"Man is never sufficiently touched and affected by the awareness of his lowly state until he has compared himself with God's majesty" John Calvin

My Brother, and West Virginia.

It worries me to see my 9 year old brother depressed. It doesn't
seem like he's old enough to experience real pain, but it's
pretty easy to believe when you see him like this.
For a couple of days Kullen, (my brother) has been purposely
listening to the song "Almost Heaven, West Virginia" By John
Denver, he'll go to his room and repeat that one line that goes,
"Country Road, take me home, to the place where I belong,
West Virginia, Mountain Mama, Take me home, down
Country Road." He'll cry and cry, and cry until you think the
water percentage in his entire body has shrunken to 2 %.
The thing is, is that I know what my brother is feeling, because
almost every line in that song gives me a flash of memory
when it mentions certain places, the song will go
"Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountain,
Shenendoah River, life is old there older than the
trees, younger than the mountains, blowin' like a breeze."
What means the world to me now, was nothing to me
before, that's why we should treasure life like it's
supposed to be. And not think of it as, just this or that.
Because before you know it, it'll be gone.
That's what I'm trying to do now, treat Texas like my home,
because one day, I'm going to look back and ask myself
why I didn't enjoy Texas like I do then, if I keep on
feeding my desire for West Virginia, I'm going to ignore
what I have now, and wonder why I didn't just move on.
Thanks For Reading! Kaitlyn

Okay... I'm here!

Okay, now that I have created a second blog, let's see if this one is
successful. This blog is going to be about what is, and has been
happening in the realm my new surroundings. (AKA: Texas)
Lots of People have been asking me how I'm liking it down here,
and to all of you that were thinking about it, here's your answer.
I'm Liking it!
Texas has been an experience, I'll tell you that. Listening to all the
different types of accents and twangs, learning about new types
of plants, (sundew flower, yopan, elephant's foot, etc...) entering
a new homeschooling group, and church family, allowing new
people to become my friends, everything is not just the same old,
same old, anymore. Everything is new to me, and it's good to
know that there actually is a life for me outside the little state of
West Virginia.
God has given me a new page, and I want to make sure everything
I write down on it is pleasing to him. He got me through the
year of heart-ache, and it's about time I thank him for it.
Thank you for reading, I'll have more soon! ~Kaitlyn
