so, after a long month of juggling, blowing bubbles, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and/or peanut butter and honey sandwiches, admiring Matt Snow, dreaming about performing at Silver Dollar City (oh! i didn't tell you, did i? well, i have the oppurtunity to audition for a show at Silver Dollar City that will be held next year.), practicing with karaoke (oh right! i do want to sing in a show...not just act or w/e), succeeding in my sewing class, trying to maintain straight A's, turning 16, being lazy but trying to lose some weight, collecting thingamabobs and whoserwhatsits, sleeping, and making sure the dictionary didn't accidentally put my name under "Perfect", I realized that I should probably update my xanga. am i right? i do think i am indeed correct on this point. I figured since I really am perfect (insert sarcasm here), y'all are prolly worried about me and want to hear what's going on. Honestly? Not a thing. Except the usual, that is. Wake up, go to school, come home, do homework, go to bed. and again. and again. OH! with the occasional argument between me and mom...oh and the one spat i had with my *ahem* father...that literally gave me a panic/anxiety attack from ticking me off so bad. i called him and told him off in the end...long story short: he won't be getting anything from me for his birthday but maybe a handmade card that says "here's your birthday gift since you rejected my other one" yeah, that's right. I told him what his birthday present was and he friggin shot it down! *psh* anyway, oh and i got baptized friday evening. that was amazing, but ever since, mom seems more irritated with me for no apparent reason, and nothing has been going right. anyway, i do remember y'all and i do pray for ya. i haven't forgotten about you, just about xanga lol well i'll ttyl. love y'all

omgsh it's been awhile!!

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 02:25:14 GMT

hasn't it?! i can't believe i haven't posted in so long! it felt like only a little while ago...i guess not. lol well not much is happening. my b-day is in 14 days!! i'm excited...and nervous...and everything in between. i got really mad at my brother the other day...he says, "when's your birthday again?" i said "I'm not telling you that!" (cuz he oughta know already--he is my bro, after all...) and he says "well it is this month, right?" i said "yeah....?" and he says "you'll be 16, right?" "yeah....?" "have you been kissed?" "no....." "why?" "cuz i haven't had the chance and i want to wait for it to come to me at the right moment with the right guy...." "well you better start working harder cuz it's pretty sad that you're 16 and haven't been kissed...."

i almost got up and slapped him! just cuz the first girl who kissed him (while they were 13 i might add!) would kiss anyone who'd take her cuz she's a greedy little wench...and told him he needed to use tongue even though they'd only kissed a couple times before! she's not even pretty! but anyway...this isn't about her. this is about the fact that my younger brother was trying to tell me that i need to start kissing people. it's none of his bizz anyway! *sigh*

in other news...no Woodstock party this year. maybe next year. But I am going to be baptized for my 16th birthday! i'm so excited! lol i think i'm going to have a girls' night out thing. since after my birthday, i'll prolly be baptized in a hotel indoor pool cuz the pastor i want to do it's church don't have a dunking pool, so....i might just have a few good girlfriends stay with me and an adult in a room and have a girl night. anyway...that's about all...i'll try to update more often, but it's hard to remember when not many people still use xanga. newayz... if you want to get hold of me on another profile, my myspace is http://www.myspace.com/sweet_southern_heart my name under facebook is katy miller and my network is Parkview High. my renaissance festival.com name is Emerald Stardust. my yahoo is jesus_freak1026 and my msn is emerald_stardust10@hotmail.com i love y'all!!!

change of plans

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:15:18 GMT

long story short: my mom and grandpa were going to meet halfway to transport us. well, grandpa's leg's broken. so mom was figuring she'd just bring us down herself. she asked connie (mom's sister) how they would feel about me and the boys still visiting, and she said she didn't think it was a good idea. connie asked my grandparents, and they said "don't come" so here we are, still in spfd, and i'm hoping that after they get a cast on his leg, they'll feel better about us coming. so please pray for my grandparents (grandma's still healing from 2 knee replacement surgeries and a hip replacement) and pray for us to find a way to visit! thanks!

Texas!

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 21:03:06 GMT

Good Morrow and hey y'all! I figure it's about time to update. Well, not offical yet, but most likely, me and my brothers are going to Texas Saturday. So basically, if you want to say something, say it before Friday night! Umm....that's about it. Not much else. Well, not that I can think of. *Racks brain*....*more racking* *digging deep* umm...nope. Nothing's coming to mind. OH Thanks for the 100 comments! *psh* yeah right. Thanks to Kaytie (sp?) for the comment. It really means a lot, considering the lack of comments from everyone else. Well, after Saturday I should be gone for a good *almost* 4 weeks, so I'll expect many many comments from the world. Like I've said in the past, I will not be able to check my xanga, and I probably will not want to check my e-mail and/or myspace and/or facebook. But I would most definitely appreciate comments anyway. Either that or a surprise party would suffice!! lol Anyway. I love you all and maybe we'll talk before I leave.

weird weekend

Mon, 02 Jul 2007 05:19:07 GMT

hey y'all! well i went camping w/ kelsey friday. we almost immediately went swimming in the lake and tanned and stuff. 'course we met some not bad looking guys....ok so they were VERY attractive! lol but they were....umm....interesting? i guess...idk but the point is they got me and kels to play with their frisbee w/ them in the lake but then they left us playing w/ "Fudge" (what they nicknamed an 8-yr-old cousin or w/e) while they went off and goofed around. so we left...lol we had burgers on the grill and s'mores and it was awesome. kelsey's dad got a little buzzed on Smirnoff (that was FUNNY!!) and he wasn't drunk, just buzzed but it was funny conversing w/ him at that point. that night, my sleeping bag got soaked from the rain cuz the rain soaked thru the material, and i'm the only one who got wet. of course...well me and kelsey got up in the middle of the night to sleep in the car....my back and knees hurt the next day, but at least i was dry. saturday was a day without a bit of sunshine. it was either rainy or cloudy all day so we packed up and drove home. i got home at about 9:30 p.m. sat. night. today's been an okay day. bonnie's in springfield because of a thing she's singing at where they're singing songs from the 30s and 40s and they're dressing the part and everything it sounds cool. bonnie committed to this before they moved to St. Joe so she and her daughter, ali, and ali's friend, alex are staying w/ us. they just arrived today. tomorrow i get to help bonnie w/ her hair and nails and she's doing her makeup all smokey and i think she should wear bright red lipstick. i'll mention that to her. lol but anyway...i got 2 new pairs of earrings today. they're very cool and they're nickel free so that's great. i got 2 new pairs of shoes (very cute) they're like sandals....but anyway...well...in case i don't update before then, Happy Independence Day! lol i love y'all!
