I'm no Ta'vi, certainly no CoCo, and especially no Haley

I'm no Ta'vi, certainly no CoCo, and especially no Haley. I'm just Katie; born into a small life and destined for only that it seems. Yeah I might live the good life as a writer or, if I get my act together, a photographer or some kind of wedding planner.I think I always doubted that being involved in true fashion just isn't an appropiate life choice for me. But for now here I am, living life slow and pretty smooth on my way to high school, practically waiting for more than I can handle to be handed to me. And no, NOT on a silver platter. It's going to be rough, this much I know already. I already have dilemmas and curiosities that are sure to put me in my place before I'm 16... come to think of it, I might already be in that place. This is crazy, who knew that at such a young age you could go off the wall so easily at something so simple, and you haven't even seen what the real world is like. As in the world where you live on your own and have a job. That's the part that always seems to get me.
Stick to the stuff that's going on right now I guess.

Need to Work on this More

Alright so I haven't posted anything in a while. But the world has been much to dull my friends; there's the occasional here and there but not much is really happening that I think is Blog Material. Will keep you posted for anything that is truly worth writing. ECLIPSE IS COMING OUT IN 2 DAYS! Do you understand the enjoyment I am witnessing at this very moment?? Probably not, but that's okay. Going to the midnight premiere with my many friends, hopefully. Need to find a ride home/ a sleepover. Crazy but I want to go SO bad!
Thinking (there's a shock):
*about him
*writing material, blog, books, stories, poems, you name it
*love
*Paramore (a.ka the most amazing band besides Queen and the Beatles)
*bit jealous of my friend and her newly found long-time love
*my bathroom is DARK blue. it clashes with my shower curtain. Not O.K
*My friend Haley's A-MAZE-ING phtography skills
*fashion
and there you have it. Will stay in touch!
P.S trying to post some photos here soon :)

Oh Wow

Just filling everyone in on the basics as fast as I can here, seeing how I haven't posted in a while but I need to go to bed because I have work in the morning. Crazy weekend. Went on a supposed raft trip that turned into a camping trip because of the rain, didn't get on the river once, so that was a bust but it was still fun. Came home with some ice cream from Dairy Queen and went onto Facebook, Polyvore, YouTube, basic needs after a week of no WiFi. New Top Favorite Paramore Song: The Only Exception. Check it out on YouTube.
Will post more tomorrow after I've slaved away all day helping feed little children, teaching them to sing, and undergoing basic teenager life.
Sigh

I'd Run

All I really want is to sing on a stage for people who I don't know, yet they know my name thanks to the playbill they received at the door. I wish I could ride that Blue Cruiser that I've wanted since sixth grade through town on  a hot summer afternoon with my RayBan's covering my eyes from the smoldering sun and all my books, magazines, and pool stuff in the tan wicker basket at the front. A camera to take pictures of all the memories I love to remember wouldn't hurt either. But more than anything I wish I could run. Run far away from this place I know all too well so that I can escape the anger and annoyance and pain I can feel hidden deep within. I would run to the beach across the country and jump into its warm welcoming waters. I'd run beneath the stars in a cool grassy feel, and fall down winded to look at the sky. I would run into the arms of a summer love who I have never known before. Or into the arms of a friend who I haven't seen in the years that have passed all too quickly. I'd drive away, I'd run far, I'd sneak out, I'd float, I'd dream, just anything to have the true life worth living and to be far, far from here...

Looks like a Pool Day

Summer is going wonderfully well. The sun is shining the grass is green, and it looks warm and sunny enough to go to the local pool and swim! It's been nearly SIX months of winter, it even snowed here in May a little bit, which is torture beyond belief. So going to the pool and wearing shorts and flip flops, and not having school is by far the best feeling in the world right now. I can't help but think of all the little summer visions when I think of the word Sun and Summer, like long nights out with the stars and the moon, all day at the pool or rafting, or swimming in the lake. Barbeque's, movie marathons, shopping, hanging out with friends, I'm so excited for the summer ahead!

Starlight- OneWord

The starlight is visible in the night sky even from so far away. It's up in e the endless night sky where nothing is wrong and I'm down here, wishing I was that far away. I'm lying down on my trampoline looking up at the stars thinking about you and the rest of the world around me. I'm thinking of writing words that are so meaningless that not even Shakespeare could understand it. You don't what it's like to cry almost every night over you without shedding a tear, and you don't know how it feels to feel like there's a hole in your chest, because you know someone else has your heart. I tried to get over you, I really did, but sometimes trying isn't enough... I didn't ask to love you, but it's hard not too.

This is just a oneword!

Summer :)

Finally Summer has made itself visible to me and I am loving every second of it: sleeping in, reading by the pool, swimming, hanging out with friends, late nights. And let the record show that in 3 months time I'm going to be a freshmen is High School! There's a whole new mindset to summer this year ladies and gentlemen.
This was only week one so it's been pretty lazy and chill. Mostly hanging out with friends and one sleepover. Yesterday was a little to lazy for me, it was all Polyvore and my new book Evermore. And Rent, lots of Rent Music. I've never seen the movie but I love the music. We sang Seasons of Love in Choir at my 8th grade graduation and I am undeniably in love with the rest of the soundtrack. I still get a little teary when I listen to Seasons of Love, I have a weakness for memories.
Just kind of waiting for this summer to unfold into the best ever :)

A Summer Night: The Trampoline

The lantern was dim next to the trampoline. I was lying down on the warm summer night looking up at the stars, letting my mind go blank and thinking of nothing except for this endless summer and all the journeys to come. I look forward to every second of life and close my eyes, beginning to sing "Seasons of Love", my favorite song that we sung in 8th grade choir.
I start to picture riding my Baby Blue Cruiser with the tan wicker basket filled with books and my swim stuff through town to the pool. The second I see the water I jump in with my striped green bikini on and float to the bottom, embracing the water. When it's time for me to go I think of all of my options: sitting around a campfire in a lawn chair with my friends roasting marshmallows, wearing shorts and wrapped in a blanket. Or perhaps a movie with my summer romance or my friends.
The next day I'll ride through town in my RayBan's, Vans, and any other piece of summer clothing I'll be wearing that day to get ice cream with my best friend, or running to catch the bus to the mall.
All the perks of summer, of being free, just skimmed my mind. As I opened my eyes I smile, knowing that it was the thoughts of what was to come that made the summer endless.

Green Grass

Honestly I think the best way to relax is walking through a field with nothing but soft, green GREEN grass barefoot, while listening to music and having a book in your bag. The feeling of it just makes you relax no matter how annoyed or frustrated or confused you are. I think I walked through my school football field for about 20 minutes just wiggling my toes in the grass, I left though becasue I think people found it a little odd that I was walking in circles :) Summer please come for me

Big Red Balloon

I float high, higher, highest up in the sky, ike a big red balloon flaoting away and wondering about the clear blue sky with its stormy weather ahead, the sun is shining bright on this life I love and as Bob Marley said "Love the life you live and live the life you love" .

Destiny

Destiny... what is it really? Future, fate? I never really know, I always think it's the Greeks pulling strings and cutting some more, making life crazy and weird. MY idea of destiny is to go to the places and meet the people I'm destined to meet and see, along with living the life that can only exist in my dreams.

Here's to cutting string...

*****
It’s a reflex for my heart to jump into my throat when I see you. It’s a reflex for me to cry when I think of the pain I’ve felt. It’s a reflex to laugh at what’s funny, and it’s a reflex to cringe away from anything hurtful or unknown, because I’m too scared to expand my borders. I don’t know why this is, I guess it’s just the way that I am.

Slow reflexes I suppose…

Far isn't Far Enough

I'm not going to lie: I love living where I do more than I can describe. It's like every child's playland and  I wouldn't trade it for anything. But sometimes it feel like I'm trapped here; life gets the better of me up until the point where I'm ready to run so far away that far isn't far enough. I want to meet new people and go places that are unique and different from the place I know. I want to start fresh and switch shoes with someone for a day (or maybe a life time) every now and then too. But like so many I know who also feel trapped, helpless, frustrated, we can't exactly drive to far away places and live the life we want. Baby steps; that's all we're taking, nothing more. I've cried for a change in this life more than once, but there's no other way but forward....
I guess I'm just... lost.

Wondering More...

I guess I never really asked to be unique, hell, none of us did. I can't help but think about it: I grew up faster than the other kids in my grade. Not in age, but in mentality. All of them are clueless about the world they live in and the benefits of living where we do. They don't see how easy it is to take everything for granted. I'm not going to lie: there are kids in my grade who are going to drop out of highschool and have nowhere to go and nothing to do, and they'll be wishing for a redo that we all know was never there in the first place. Yet I feel like only several of my friends and myself understand that this is the greatest time of our lives. Going places that some adults haven't even been to, laying under the stars on those long summer nights wishing that they could stay like that forever, falling in and out of love even if it is just an infatuation, skiing, learning, Living. They're taking it all for granted while I'm taking in every second of it, documenting and photographing as much as I can so that I can keep a clear image. It's unbelievable that I've come so far in what feels like so quickly. But I never asked to have such a sharp view of the world, to go through the occuring and reoccuring events of a teeange girls life that are becoming surprisingly common in the U.S, and well pushing the point of insanity that she wonders if running is actually an option. They always say that there will always be obstacles but to be frank: life is just one huge obstacle that we're going to love, hate, enjoy, remember, despise, and cherish until our last breath. Live life to the fullest, because you only get one.

You Can't Help But Hope

Still counting down the days to the end of my middle school career. It seems like now of all times I actually at a risk of not getting everything in on time. It's crazy at how quickly this school year went by. To be honest I'm half sad, half glad. I'm ready to move on to bigger and better things in highschool, but I'm going to miss the easy going assuarance of middle school. Although it holds shady memories for me, it was still a place of knowledge, and a period of time that really helps set your future for highschool and for life. I learned who you can and can't trust, and I got a better grip on who I am, but I mostly learned to live life to the fullest. Hang out with friends, go crazy, and to all my younger readers: Hang in there. It's all worth it in the end.
Counting down the days...
