Who's Not Forced to go to Band Competition This Year? This Girl.

So this weekend will be the first weekend in three years that I haven't had to go to a band competition. I am so freakin' happy about that. Haha! I've never been able to go to the Heritage festival in town because it was the same day as band competition in Oak Grove, but since I got out of band this year I have SOOOOOO much more freedom. Now when people ask me "What are you doing Friday night?" my answer isn't "I have to go to the football game..." it's "Whatever I want to do 'cause I'm no longer FORCED to go to the game every Friday!" xD Although, I'd really like to wish the band good luck on their first contest of the year. Go out there and start a winning streak of competitions tomorrow guys!! Go get that Gold on your "Quest for Gold!" :]
Today was a pretty nice day. I've gotten to just mostly chill after school. I went to see Matt at work and then went to my grandparent's house for a while which was really nice because my aunt and cousins from Louisiana  are visiting this weekend. 
I'm so happy that I get to finally go to the Heritage Festival tomorrow. Matt and I are gonna go for a while. Two of my close friends Cassie and Bekah are doing their senior project community service there by setting up booths. Cassie is selling artwork for the "Arts for Hearts" charity and Bekah is selling baked goods so look for both of them if anyone reading this is going tomorrow. 
That's really it for my weekend. Of course I'm going to church on Sunday. That's a given. Lolz. I don't really have much to write about tonight guys... Sorry. Haha. 
I'll have another blog up sometime this weekend.

Never Ending Thoughts

So I have discovered this week that I never stop thinking... And with all of the things that have been on my mind lately, how can I? 
Matt told me this week that he's going to try and join the navy. My mind has really been trying to process that... It's really hard for me to think about though. The thought of him leaving for so long and the only way for me to reach him is through letter is really saddening... It's pretty scary too. I know that we can make it through anything, but it's still painful to think about... :/
Plus, I STILL haven't gotten caught up on the work I missed last week when I was sick. It really sucks... It seems like every time I turn around I have something else missing in the grade book. I have two quizzes that I missed in history class that I was supposed to stay after school and make up yesterday but I forgot and suddenly remembered it when I was halfway out to my mom's house... T_T"
Not to mention this time of year is kind of hard for me due to some very personal things that happened in my past... It was a certain loss that I went through that I still haven't quite gotten over yet. And honestly, I'm not sure when or if I ever will. It was a very devastating thing. All my friends or anyone who has heard my testimony will probably know what I'm talking about here. 
However, even though I've been dealing with all of that I do have some good news to share with you. So I have this book that I've been writing for about two years now. It's called Vampires of Manova. At the beginning of this year I had began working on the very last chapter in the book but when I got my rejection letter from MSA, was too devastated and broken up to finish it. Well I had been thinking about it a lot lately, and last night I finally made myself sit down and finish it. :] So it's done! The only thing left to do is go through and edit it best I can. And then, if I can find a publisher to go through, I'd really like to get it published. This is a great accomplishment and I am so proud of myself for finally doing it. If you'd like to read it just contact me anyway you know how to.

Girl's Night Out

Tonight can only be described in two words: EPIC HILARITY. xD
First I went and picked up Bekah from her house and we met up with Meagan at the mall. We shopped around at the mall for a little while until we all got hungry. Then we went and ate at the Chinese restaurant. That's where most of the fun began. xD
While we were eating we started taking a lot of pictures. (Down at the bottom.) Bekah and I ate sushi with chopsticks, which was a bit of a struggle for me 'cause I haven't done it in quite a while. Lolz. They picked on me for eating more than them because I was the last one eating at the table and I took forever on my crab legs that I finished up my supper with. But they were good, dang it. Lolz.
After eating we went to Spirit Halloween, a store in Hattiesburg that sells, you guessed it: Halloween stuff. We mainly looked around for costumes and Meagan and I actually found the ones we want to wear. I'm going as "Miss Mad Hatter" and Meagan is going as a pirate. (Pictures at the bottom.) We actually talked Bekah into letting us pick out some costumes for her which was pretty funny because we put her in some that she would never chose on her own. xD Then we just kinda wondered around the store to see what else we could get ourselves into after the costume trying on. And we actually found some very interesting things. Lolz.
When we left there, we went across the highway to Ross and Target. At Ross we tried on random clothing and messed around with some things in the store. Our random clothing shopping put us in some pretty funny things. We dressed up as skanks, referees, and then finally we all wound up in dresses. Target was great. We didn't try on anything like in the other clothing stores, but we had a blast. We walked around seeing what all we could get into and boy did we get into some stuff. Pillows, jewelry, and Halloween stuff were our main targets. To be honest, I'm surprised someone that worked there didn't try to throw us out as much as we were goofing off in there. xD
So that was my girl's night out. I had so much fun and I really hope that I can get together with them and do that again sometime. :]
Oh, and sorry if this disappoints some of you, but I've decided against going to the Saint's game tomorrow. I just really don't feel like riding in a charter bus down a bumpy road for two hours there and two hours back. And I also don't wanna go without my best friend, Braxton... So yeah...not going. Lolz.

Friday Night Out

Well I've got my Friday down. It was even better than I thought it would be. :]

At school today we had some sort of school celebration thingy. I'm still not sure what it was supposed to be called. :P But anyway, it was really fun. I'm in the art club at school so I helped out at the art club booth. I did tattoos and face painting. The tattoos weren't that fun, but the face painting was great. I really enjoyed being able to put my art on people's faces and others see it when they walked around. And I even saw some of those people with the face paintings still on their faces tonight at the football game. That made me feel so special. Lolz. There's some pictures of them down at the bottom. I did the first, but my best friend Bekah did the second one.

Meagan and I had fun at the football game until some drama starting girl came up and caused a problem... But we just left to avoid that issue 'cause to be honest, we're not ones for drama. :P So she, my sister, and my sister's friend Katelynn went to Wal-Mart where we had boocootles of fun. Katelynn was acting like a complete and total retard. And I mean that literally by the way. It was hilarious. People were staring at us the whole time and Meagan, my sister, and I were laughing hysterically! 

Then we went to McDonald's and we acquired two extra people when Meagan had to go and pick up our friend Sam and his sister from the football game. That was hilarious. Katelynn and Sam's little sister started acting like retards again which had be bursting with laughter again. We ate ice cream, or as Katelynn said, "ice tweam." xD

We went back to Wal-Mart again and had even more fun. We played a game of hide and go seek which was interesting until we had to leave and couldn't find everyone. Lolz. Katelynn was walking around the store hollering out Meagan and Sam's names. You could hear it on the other side of the store. Literally. That's how I found her. xD

Needless to say my Friday night was very interesting and full of fun. Tomorrow I'm going to Hattiesburg still as planned, but Bekah is now coming with me and Meagan. I'm super excited for a girl's night out. I've been in need of one for a while. Lolz. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow night of course. :]

How did you guys spend your Friday night?

Week, Eh. Weekend, Epic!

Ok so my week has been decent. I can't really say much for it except that yesterday was my one year, two months anniversary with my darling, Matthew and that I got to spend some time with him today after school. Those were both nice of course and I really enjoyed them, but to be honest those were the only things I've enjoyed this week. The rest has been horrible thanks to me being so freakin' sick... :P
BUT!!! My weekend is what I'm really looking forward to. I've got it all planned out and I'm REALLY hoping that it will all go as planned 'cause I'm really super excited for it. Lolz.Tomorrow I'm going to our school's football game where I, among lots of others, am being recognized for getting advanced on my SATs. (WOOT!) Oh, and I also get in for free which is just so cool. My best friend, Meagan, is meeting me there and I am VERY excited about that because last year her dad made her change schools and since that happened we don't get to see each other NEARLY as much as we used to. But our friendship has still remained strong which I am very happy about because I was so worried about that diminishing whenever she moved. Haha. 
Anyway, back to the weekend thing... 
On Saturday she and I are going to spend the afternoon together in Hattiesburg and I'm so excited about that because that's gonna give us time to catch up on things with each other and have an awesome time. We're planning on going to the mall, going to see the new movie "Straw Dogs," and going out to eat. Sounds so awesome and I'm ready for all of it! :]
Sunday I am getting the amazing chance to go to a New Orleans Saints football game! :D I'm SUUUUUUUPER excited about going to that. I was invited to go last year but couldn't. However! This year I can and I am sooooo happy that I get this great chance to go and experience something that most never will. I'm going with many people from my grade but most of my time will be spent with my best friends Braxton and Ashley. I'm so happy that they are going 'cause I'd be so lost without friends there with me! >.<" Lolz. 
So that is the amazing weekend I am looking forward to and I'm already getting pumped up just talking about it. xD I'm sure I'll tell you guys all about it Sunday night. So look forward to it! ^_^
What are you guys up to this weekend? Any plans?? Leave questions/comments on the facebook page please where I will be happy to read AND answer them. :] (http://www.facebook.com/pages/World-Hear-Me-Roar-Blog/187323708005759)

Sickness Sucks

So today mostly sucked. Bad. Why? Because I contracted a virus. 
My day consisted of me getting up and going to school only to get sick in my first class and have to go home. The school nurse told me I had a stomach virus and so I checked out.
Turns out, going home from school when you're sick with a virus isn't fun. At all... I couldn't do anything today but sit around an watch television all day. Which beyond contrary belief, isn't all it's cracked up to be. Especially when (due to bad weather yesterday) over HALF of your tv channels aren't getting a signal. T_T"
Not to mention just the feeling of being sick is enough in itself to make you miserable... Thank goodness I'm feeling a little better now, but I am really hoping that it stays that way 'cause I don't wanna have to spend another long boring day at home tomorrow. Lolz.
Tomorrow it's (hopefully) back to school for me and most likely doing lots of make-up work... :[

Random is Awesome

Yes. Yes indeed it is. Lolz. Matt, Skyler, and I went to the coast yesterday on a random decision. It was such an awesome day. At first we went to Hattiesburg and spent a few hours there, but we spent the whole afternoon on the coast.
First we went to the mall in Hattiesburg. I got a couple things from Forever 21 and was surprised with a new ring from Matt. It is so absolutely gorgeous, but you can see so in the picture below. :] After lunch we set off for the coast.
Down there we started off at the mall. We stayed there for a good while and just went looking and shopping around. Between the 3 of us we all got some pretty cool stuff. AND! We got Auntie Anne's pretzels. BEST pretzels in the world... Lolz. When we left the mall we went to eat at a place called Snapper's Seafood Restaurant. It was amazing. The place was right on the beach and we sat outside and got to enjoy the beautiful view. The food was really good and we all 3 certainly left full.
The ride home was long but not boring at all. We encountered some interesting people driving along the highway and through downtown Gulfport. Lolz.
When we got home Matt and I wound down by chilling and watching a movie together. This morning we went to church and this afternoon we're going to church with my daddy.
So needless to say, my weekend has been awesome...well except for that thing that went down Friday night but that was fixed last night so I'm better now. Lolz.
School this week but not really anything interesting as far as I know. And good news! I'll be with my dad this week so I'll actually be able to blog throughout the week! :D
~K♥

But Of Course...

So it never fails. Every time I plan an awesome night, something either ruins it or changes it in some way. And ya know what? I'm sick to death of it. SICK! I'm sorry if I sound bratty but it gets really annoying when this crap happens. I always try to plan things out ahead of time and then they only get smashed by someone else or changed in someway that just completely changes the whole thing.
And ya know what else I'm sick of? False hope. 
Lies, too!
False hope because I'm constantly trying to be nice and trust people. And it only proves to be false hope later on. I can trust someone with the simple task of moving a piece of paper and some people will even mess that up! 
And need I say more on the lies part? It seems like everyone in this world doesn't know how to tell the truth anymore! I ALWAYS tell the truth! So what if it's brutal sometimes? At least I won't lie to your face and then turn around and tell someone else the exact opposite. As a matter of fact, people have told me that's why they always ask me for advice - because I freakin' tell it like it is! I don't sugar coat anything. Ever. 
So this is me telling the brutal honest truth: I'm sick of it all. I'm sick of everything I've mentioned in this entry. People screwing with my plans, people giving me false hope, but more than anything in this world I am SICK of people lying. 
Just this week I've had all 3 of these things happen to me AND MORE! I've almost gotten into fights twice this week with two different people. Once because some chick thought she was all big and bad just 'cause she's a cheerleader. And the other time today 'cause a jerk decided it would be a good idea to hit me in the face. Had he not been my best friend's boyfriend I do honestly believe I'd be either suspended or in jail right now. You don't hit me and expect me to let you get away with it...EVER.
And just tonight I had my plans for the night ruined. Not at all happy about that right now.




...................




*deep breath*




...I feel better now.
But seriously, who's with me here? Tell me about your week or any of these 3 things that have happened to you lately on the page. I'd love to know what's up with my readers, too.

High School is So Overrated

The title says it all. I understand it's kind of an important thing to go through 'cause you have to have a diploma to do pretty much anything these days, but it is so overrated... The people are annoying, the noise is mind numbing, and the number of idiots roaming my school is astronomical. Columbia High is also very prone to favoritism. Don't get me wrong, the education from that school is the best around. However, as for fair treatment, you can forget it at that school. If you aren't a cheerleader, "popular kid," the child of someone on the PTA, or just a kid well known by most of the staff then you are nothing at that school. And it's not just MY school. It's high school in general! It's so pointless... Most of the things I'm learning there I will never EVER use. For example, Algebra II. Most pointless class I am taking currently. I am going to major in journalism and writing. NOWHERE in my college classes will math be important after I get college algebra done - and I plan on taking that my senior year in high school. All of these classes that I will never need in life. Yet they are required for me to graduate. Ri-dic-u-lous. But at least I've got all A's and I'm doing good in class. I just really hope that nobody else tries to pick a fight with me at that school 'cause I'm honestly getting ready to knock somebody out. :P

Birthday Celebration

So as you all know, my birthday was yesterday and I must say that it was the BEST birthday I've had yet. I got lots of cool presents and a total of $96 in birthday money. We had a little party at my grandma's house and instead of cake we had some delicious peach cobbler that she made. I opened a couple presents there and then went on the Matt's house and opened more there. I loved all my gifts and they're all so great. :] Today I spent most of the day with Matt and then my daddy took me out to Hattiesburg tonight. We went to the mall where I spent my birthday money and then he took me to eat at one of my favorite restaurants where I pigged out on crab legs until the juice was dripping down my elbows - literally. xD 
Last night though was so amazing... My parents and his parents agreed to let me stay the night with Matt last night and it was so great to go to sleep knowing that he'd be there when I woke up the next morning. Now let me just say this big and boldly so nobody will try to start some crazy rumors about that night.... WE SLEPT IN DIFFERENT ROOMS PEOPLE! There. Now with that out of the way, I can tell you how amazing it was. Lolz. 
We stayed up 'til pretty close to midnight together. He got me this new game, Alice Madness Returns, and I spent a good two hours playing it. I love it so much already. Lolz. Then after he convinced me to turn that off, we sat up watching tv for a few hours and cuddling on the couch. It was really nice to just lay there in his arms and not have to worry about meeting a curfew time to be back at my dad's house. Haha. 
This morning I woke up about 8:30 or 9 and went and jumped on him. Lolz. Needless to say, he got a rude awakening. But he still turned over and kissed me and said good morning. :] And then when we both got woke up good he cooked us some pancakes that turned out SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO good!! ♥_♥ But most of our day was spent cuddling and watching tv. Lolz.
I went shopping at the mall and spent my money in four different stores (Forever 21, Claire's, Hollister, and Journey's). I didn't take pictures of the stuff I got, but it was mostly clothes. Lolz. 
So that was pretty much how my birthday went. Got a weekend of being a game nerd over Alice ahead of me, so don't be surprised if my entries are just me gushing over it. xD

Waiting on Tomorrow

Okay, so today wasn't that great. School was school and we all know that school is as boring as heck... Nothing really interesting happened besides me getting that 70 on an Algebra II test... *sigh* Inverse matrices are of the devil. That's all I've got to say about that. Lolz.
So tomorrow is my LONG AWAITED birthday. I'll be seventeen! :D I know some of you are like "yeah, been there done that" but I'm excited for this year!! I'll finally be able to get my full license and not have to go by that stupid curfew, my actual curfew will possibly be extended, and I'm also one year closer to moving out and one year closer to getting out of stupid high school. (I'm gonna ramble about my school for a minute, so just bear with me here.) I HATE that school... The only things worth doing at that school are band, art, and aerobics (and not necessarily in that order). Just about everything else is absolute poo. The administrators are EXTREMELY subject to playing favorites and if you parents don't pour money into that school or you aren't one of the "popular kids" then they could pretty much careless about you. That is, until the day you wear your shirt tail untucked or forget your belt/ID. THEN they notice you, but then they also either give you detention or watch you like an eagle for two weeks... Grrr.... Uniforms were the WORST thing ever invented for high school students.
Anyway, back to the birthday thing. Lolz. Tomorrow we're gonna have a little get together at my grandma's house for cake (actually it'll be peach cobbler - YUM) and ice cream and of course presents. I'm really looking forward to it 'cause not only do I now not have to drive twenty miles out of town, but also because it's the one day and time that I feel like my entire family focuses on me, and that doesn't happen very often... :P
So I'm sure tomorrow will be full of pictures and have a lovely, somewhat long entry for you to view so be looking for it! Lolz. :]

Facebook Success

So I have officially set up a page for the blog on the famous Facebook. It can be found there under the blog's name and my personal profile can also be found there listed as the admin. Add me if you want, but PLEASE like the page for the blog. Lolz. I've set a goal to have at least 30 likes by the end of the week, so spread this thing around like an STD people!! ..... I'm just kidding. STDs are not good. The rising success of this blog is. Lolz.
So in other news... I went back to school today and it was a drag just as a suspected it would be. :P Our teachers had no hesitation at all to jump back into work, but then again I guess that's what I get for being a smarty pants and taking honors classes. Lolz. Anyway, besides the work I did accomplish some things I was proud of today. In art I made an awesome pinch pot and I stood up to this guy who's been trying to bully me. I just thought I should make it clear to him that I wasn't gonna take his crap, so when he claimed he didn't like me and was gonna punch me I just laughed at him and said, "That's funny. I DARE you to hit me. See what'll happen." I know that's not exactly nice, but well...neither is he. :P In aerobics I walked a mile and a half. OH! And I'm pretty sure that I have made a good new friend thanks to that class. Lolz. 
Only two days 'til my birthday and I'm getting SUPER excited for it. I've already got 3 birthday cards for it and of course the present from my daddy I mentioned last entry - which I drove today by the way and I absolutely LOVED it. :] Matt is off work for my birthday which is super cool 'cause now he gets to be there for cake and ice cream and presents and whatnot. 
Tomorrow brings me more school and junk. But the next day will be fun! :D I've got a picture of me that was taken today so I'll just use that as tonight's pic I guess. Lolz

Lazy Day

So today I did pretty much nothing at all. I sat around all day and just played around on the computer. I only got out of the house once and that was to go eat brunch with my daddy. As soon as we got back I changed back into some pajama pants and a t-shirt and that's what I've been wearing ever since. Lolz.
Matt came by for close to an hour before he went to work, and he's supposed to be coming back after work. That was the highlight of my day really. Candi came over for several hours and we just kind of chilled and got caught up with each other since she hasn't been around here for several months. 
I listened to a lot of music today, too. Mostly Christina Perri. I'm really into her music right now. I just recently bought her album Lovestrong. and it is AMAZING. I listened to some Owl City, too. I'll always love his music. Haha. I cooked supper tonight too for me and my daddy. We had porkchops, mac&cheese, and cream corn. VERY good. Lolz. 
This week I'm really looking forward to though. I've got lots of good stuff going on. My birthday is on Thursday which I'm majorly excited for of course. Lolz. I'm going to be seventeen finally!! I can officially go get my real license and no longer have to worry about the annoying curfew on the intermediate (which is an hour earlier than my actual curfew :P). Lots of exciting things are happening on my birthday and I'm soooooo ready for it to be here. Only three more days! :D I've already gotten one birthday present and that was the one from my daddy. He got me a GORGEOUS cobalt blue racing fourwheeler. I haven't really gotten the chance to ride it around our land just yet 'cause of all this stupid rain, but hopefully I'll get the chance to this week. Maybe I'll even go mud-riding on it. :D
There's a picture of it at the end. And of course I'll write about all of my other birthday presents and my birthday itself later this week. Back to school tomorrow. Oh boy. :P

How 'Bout This Weather

Lovely weather we're having, isn't it? :P
All of this dreary rain is killing me. I can't go outside without getting soaked, I HATE driving in the rain, and my internet connection at my daddy's house is all messed up from it. At least it's not raining right now, but it's supposed to be coming back again this afternoon...which sucks. T_T" But, on the bright side I've been at Matt's all day and it has been very nice. And, if the weather gets too bad later this afternoon I may just get stuck here. And that is DEFINITELY very nice. xD
So anyway.... I know I haven't wrote in a very long time, and I'm sorry. I've been either busy or without internet...or just had nothing to write about.
I thought of a way to get you guys to actually give feedback too!! Maybe if I ask a question at the end of every post, then you guys will answer it. You don't have to reply, because I can see how many readers I've had anyway, but it is nice to know that you guys really are reading.
This weekend has actually been pretty boring with all the rain and whatnot. Except for Friday!! Matt and I went out on a date and it was awesome. :] We went to the mall to shop around a little and eat. Then we went to see the new movie Colombiana, which is AMAZING  by the way and I seriously recommend you go see it. And after that we went to Target and shopped around a little more. The night was pretty great. Saturday I went out to my mom's for a little birthday party for my sister, and I've already told you what I've done today. Tomorrow I'm out of school and not really sure what I'll be doing tomorrow (unless somebody wants to hang out) 'cause Matt has to work. :P
So how's everyone's labor day weekend been (besides tropical storm lee)?
