I had this whole thing written out about what i was up too, and then i went and accidentally deleted it !!! that is one of the suckiest things that ever happens to me. I guess i could write it all again, or just say screw it, cause it took me a while to type all that. i will update you a little at how things are going...... they are going pretty good. School starts pretty soon, and believe me i am staying pretty busy - with work, and now with marching band. This year is going to be pretty great, pretty hectic, but i think pretty awesome. I am goign to try and join as many activities as possible, and still try to get all my homework done. We will see how long this masterful plan will work. This summer has just shot right passed me, and even though i still have like 3 weeks left, it seems that the school year is looming ahead like tomarrow. Thats about all i have to say really - i am going to try and keep up, but that is what i always say, so i am going to say that i hope to write again soon - but no promises...
Thanks,
~Katie
Poem of the Day
How Do I Love Thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I am deeply sorry that i have not been active in typing in here. I have been going on vacations and our computers have been down too. Anyway I am busy going on college visits and sewing clown outfits for this parade that i am going to be in. So things this summer have been going busy. The "family" trip to SD was ok, but way too much family time involved. Other than spending too much time with family this summer has been pretty great. So once again i declare that my world is revolving swiftly, and somehow it happens that whenever i end up typing here that i seem to be in a really good mood. Not much else to say. I will end up typing more through out this week, hopefully, but for now this is all that i am going to put. Have a good week!
Thanks,
Katie
Poem of the Day
----is postponed till Katie has the will to find one.
some one has found will for her!
He is Young and happy, and I am young and happy,
my love is the most handsome, for him I am beautiful and elegant;
since I am true to him, he will always be true to me,
I will never betray his love, and I know my love will never betray me."
-Comtessa
Beautiful Poem that was graciously posted by someone on the comments... it deserves a day.

So i am a total band geek through and through.... i play different things and i am in practically all the things i can be in - bandly speaking.... and i am sad to say that the band instructor that we have had at our school since i started in 7th grade, is now leaving us and going to a different school. This has to happen my senior year...when things were just starting to go good. I wish Mr. Koets good luck in all that he does, and i really hope that our new one is understanding and easy going. The last thing we want is some guy that yells alot, and makes us stay on task. This was not something that i was expecting - and that is probably why it shocked the hell out of me -cause i had no warning. Anyway we will see how the year goes without Mr. Koets... all i have to say, is that band better not suck.... the last thing i want is to have to drop band to take more college classes. The world will still turns on our school and so this year may be very interesting - i will try to stay more current, but i just keep forgetting to write. I always get friendly reminders from my friends to write, which is nice, or i would never ever write.
So anyway - i am staying busy with a job and the internet and a couple cool people i call friends. If there is a time when i dont write in a while, just email me and yell at me too, and i will drag my fingers to the keys and type. Ok - well ill talk to you later
Thanks
Katie
By the way - i am way too lazy to find a poem. -- maybe later
Ok its later -
The Poem of the Day
Longing For Your Arms
I long to be lost
In your warm arms.
Rapt tight,
Held close,
In ther center of your affection.
The days seem so cold
Without your warm smile.
I feel,
So lost,
Longing for your arms.

I have been lost for quite a while in a fun game we call KoN -or- Knights of Nobleman. And i am, really, truely addicted to it. It is a great game, and i am going to put up a link to all those that are into rpg's or medival games and the like. It is a lot of fun to get involved in the forums and the competions, and for those that are thinking about it - join the Shadow Avengers Clan. They are way cool and plus, i am in it.... so anyway - here is the site --- Knights of Nobleman so go, sign up, and have fun!!
Alright, now that you know where i have been for the last week or so - i am sure you all would like to know what the other part of my non-internet life has been.... well i am not going to tell you much, only that i dragons have hatched in my basement...no just kidding - that excitement doesnt happen in my life... i have been bored out of my mind, thinking of how cool it would be to have some dragons in my basement.... Anyway -boredom and the occasional tv watching... i am also starting to bike a lot more - cause i like to be out doors and stuff.... that is about it - still looking for a job, though that may be something that may actually appear. I really havent been in the reading mood- though i probably should be since i started this book club and so on, but i just cant sit down and read. I have sure been sleeping alot, and i think that is why i stay up late. I think i am turning nocturnal --- i am now sleeping during the day, and using the night to keep awake. Thats been about it. I am not even sure if i have the optimism to post a poem of the day.... hold on--- i will post one of mine, from a while ago - alright here it is:
now i wrote this a while ago - so it might seem a little depressing:
Poem of the Day
No title
Just dreaming of the perfect life gone bad,
Just thinking of the plum on the counter.
The taste that would have been so sweet,
Is now bitter and incomplete.
Thanks,
Katie

So i need to write in here again, cause i seem to be neglecting it. So far the summer is going ok - its not looking too promising, cause i dont have a job, and i am whiter than a ghost, but these are things i am hoping to change soon. I will be working in my garden alot during the day if it ever stops raining, and at night i will be reading away. Hanging out with friends is a pretty good option for the summer too. This weekend has been pretty great so far... camping - even though there were bugs and rain it still turned out to be fun, and than graduation was fun to play in band for. Its so weird to think that i will be a senior next year... Anyway, i dont really have much to say, the day has gone pretty slow and boring, and i think that i may go outside and work on my tan... we will see...

Sonnet 43: When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form, form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessèd made,
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.

Hark! hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings,
And Phoebus 'gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chalic'd flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin
To ope their golden eyes;
With everything that pretty is,
My lady sweet, arise:
Arise, arise!

People help me!! I need to start a book list for books to read over the summer, so if anyone has any good books that they have read, or have heard are really good, either post them on the message board, or you can email me, or whatever. I think that it would be really cool to start a book club, or some sort of reading group and if we need to, i will create a special blog just for people that want to do it. Since i am really into fantasy/medival books, thats what it would be on. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyway, just an idea for the summer. I am already bored with nothing to do, so if any one has any comments on how i should spend my time please help me figure something out.
I have finally finished my story. It took long enogh but it is entirely finished. i think i want to post it somewhere, but im not sure where. I think that i may have a good start to a book, and i would like to elaborate a little more to what i have, and add more to the end. This may be the savior to my time problems. Anyway, thats about it. It is monday - the last monday of the school year, since we have next monday off cause of memorial weekend, and it feels so nice to be almost done.
Thanks,
Katie
Poem of the Day
I thought that i would post another one of my poems. I wrote this one for a writing assignment on somebody i cared about and i chose my step-mom
To My Dear and Loving Step-Mother Kathy
Thy love for my father could I see plain,
Yet the eyes of the law did abstain.
With when the eyes of God and law seen now,
Thy love was sealed with rings and vows
As the law declared, my mother thou art,
Yet we need no law to bind our hearts.
Life has thrown us many ways,
Through it all, I am pleased thou art with me today
Thou art a mother to me,
Though thou do not have to be.
By blood we are not bound,
Yet with so much love, thou do suround.
With each passing day, we more become near,
Thou art to me, a special mother dear.

So it has been really nice out so far this weekend and I have been on the go almost the whole time. Saturday was great. I actually for once, i think, this year, I have gone outside and done some sort of work that requires me to sweat. In the morning we were supposed to have gone riding with my aunt and uncle, but because it was raining that was cancled and we went to St. Cloud to shop. I got myself a book, another first in a long time, because i just haven't had time to read, and clothes, something that i seem to have to much of, yet I always get more. When we got back, me and my little sister went out to the back of our house where a nice, large, bog-like pond is located. So we shoved off in our conoe and were our there for an hour and forty-five minutes. The wildlife is just great our there, and its amazing that me or my sister didnt fall into the goopy water, cause our conoe is pretty tippy. Anyway, that was a lot of fun, and quite a bit of work, but all in all it was a pretty good time. And then we had a supper of fried fish -very good, and then out to the street on our bikes. Me and my sister must have gone for at least 5 miles. and had a pretty good time. By the time we got back to the house, my legs were so sore, i could barely stand. I thought i would be able to just sit back and relax by the computer, but no, dearest sister begs me to play basketball with her. So I go outside a shoot a few hoops for about 15 minutes. And than finally get to sit back in my chair and write this paper that i am getting close to finishing, and yet, i am so far away. I have only a little left, and then i will turn it in tomarrow. My english teacher gave me a very nice extension on it, and for that i am eternally grateful, cause i would never of had it in on time. That was yesterday, and today looks not as eventful, but still abundantly fun.
I think there is about 7 or 8 days of school left. I am not sure, but it seems like there should be more. This last trimester has just flown by, and i have no idea what the summer will be like. I need to find a job, something i am in the process of doing, and than i think i am going to set up some plan so that i do not get bored. I really want to do things outside. With the weather starting to feel more like summer, i have this urge to go running and biking and just be outside. Usually what happens during the summer is i lock my self in my room and read away the summer. I mean i would seriously spend the whole day reading, only stopping to take a braek and eat. But, i think this summer may be different. This is the last summer of my High School career and my last non-working summer of my life, i think. So I think that the world will get to see Katie as she attempts to unbury her nose from words, and show her white skin to the sun. It should be a pretty great summer over all and i one of the best so far.
Thanks,
Katie
Poem of the Day
Summer Nights
Summer nights take me away into a peaceful place
Like a sponge I release the stress absorbed from the world
So then I float with the wind that pushed through me
I am alone with my thoughts and a silent melody
Without a care or worry
I am pure
I close my eyes as visions pass through the back of my mind
I do not see but I care not to
I feel safe in the darkness
I feel as if I could disappear along with my mind
I am without emotions
I unfold to become a waterfall
I settle between the rocks and become the summer night

The weekend has come, and i am going to be at my dads house again. I am not quite sure what to put on this blog. We just had yearbook signing day at my school and we pretty much just get a half a day to do nothing but cheesy things in our friends yearbook that someday they will look back on. High school doesnt mean much compared to your whole life. I mean how many of the people you graduate with are you going to see in your future? I mean you can have a great time in high school, and maybe some good memories, but seriously - its high school, nothing compared to the world that we will have to someday go out into. I had fun today though. Next year i will be a senior and yet i still feel like the freshman i was 3 years ago. things are so crazy. Who could have thought back then I would be who i am and where i am now. Time just flies by.
That's all i have for now-
Thanks
~Katie
Poem of the Day
Is It Possible
Is it possible
That so high debate,
So sharp, so sore, and of such rate,
Should end so soon and was begun so late?
Is it possible?
Is it possible
So cruel intent,
So hasty heat and so soon spent,
From love to hate, and thence for to relent?
Is it possible?
Is it possible
That any may find
Within one heart so diverse mind,
To change or turn as weather and wind?
Is it possible?
Is it possible
To spy it in an eye
That turns as oft as chance on die,
The truth whereof can any try?
Is it possible?
It is possible
For to turn so oft,
To bring that lowest which was most aloft,
And to fall highest yet to light soft:
It is possible.
All is possible
Whoso list believe.
Trust therefore first, and after preve,
As men wed ladies by licence and leave.
All is possible.
Sir Thomas Wyatt

I try so hard to make things perfect and no matter how much i strive for perfection, my human nature screws something up and life is no longer the way it was.

ME:
Katie
I spend my life in my house
and with 2 brothers and 2 sisters
me the 2nd youngest with a younger sister
I love my dog--a miniture wiener dog
and though i have cats--they get annoying
My lil sister has a dog--a boston terrier--UGLY
Music is the revolver of my life
I play instruments of many types
I like to paint my life
and draw my friends
art is fun
sewing is great
i am attempting to quilt
Writing is something my soul demands
and my mind always tells me that i am hungry
especiall when i am bored
I sit waiting for someone to answer my unasked question
the world keeps turning
and i keep awake all the time
while
the
breeze
swoshes
past
my
hair

and check out my book club at www.booksrcool.blogdrive.com What is it?
Through generations and generations it lives on. Time has weathered it, yet it is its best friend. Though it weeps and pines for attention it lives content on it’s own. It makes the children laugh and the old cry with fond memory, yet it lives to make a difference in people’s lives. Through the generations it does change. From birth to death it changes constantly on an environmental clock that takes it through the fresh smell of spring, to the cold loneliness of winter. It’s a home for the homeless that roam free throughout the land. At it’s death it may still be used to house those that cannot live so off the land. The creation that it was, will never be again, and the one that was there, is gone forever. Though others alike will come, there is no twin. What is it 2?
As it comes alive, you think of the miracle and forget that this small beautiful creature not only gets life and breath but it will also go through the pains of living and the last breath of death. But at the moment all you see is the struggle for a first breath of something so small and so precious that you feel overwhelmed with love and affection. All you want to do is chase all the thought of pain and death from your mind, from your body, from the whole entire earth, until all you feel is this love. Shaking and moving, the life wants to spring from it, yet it’s contained in it’s jail, trying to break loose and become apart of the world like you or I. The funny thing is, it has been kept alive by the one thing that is trapping it. It’s a mystery. What’s inside? It’s like Christmas, you just want to rip it open and see what mystery God is hiding inside this gift to the Earth. The cycle that it is brought into will evolve and once again we will come across this point. And again we will wonder at the mystery and miracle of something so small compared to the world it lives in.
What is it 3?
It is the source of much life. Laying in wait for its food, it has the potential to be dangerous, yet without it, we would suffer. It's open-holed eyes stare out at us and, when there, its mouth gapes open, asking for the out put it so wishes to distribute. Sometimes we torture it - stuffing and gorging it until it cries out is hot, sparkling tears. And then, by our own stupidity, we regret it.
What Is it?
