Don't Feel Like It...But I must....

Oky, so you know how I was ALL EXCITED about there being TWO BOTES VOTES on the poll??? Well...I kind of changed the date...and changed it to where you can select however many secret societies you wish....and...welll....

IT GOT RID OF ALL THE VOTES!!!

So now I have to start over...*sigh*....the pain....

Love. Peaches (omgoo Mom actually was psychic and got some from the grocery store just now!! Oh, how I was craving those in The Web-Ster's class yesterday! I might have even soned zoned out a bit while The Web-Ster was talking...>.> oops! Not that that's toally totally uncommen...uncommon....(I AM SO BAD AT SPELLING TYPING RIGHT NOW!!!! okay..I could just delete it and start over but I think you may [and maybe not] get a kick out of it. It really adds character doesn't it? I mean, the wrong characters, but oh well. *ah ah ah!! nice pun, huh??*) Anyways...I even wrote "peaches" in the top left hand corner of the MLA Handout Sheet that she gave us and attempted at drawing peaches around the word. Most of them looked...looked like peaches. Some of them...some sort of other fruite. frue. fruit. GAWRSH, MICKEY!!!
Anyhoo...gotta skeedaddle. (That IS spelled right, whether Spell Check says it does OR NOT!!)

*mumble*mumble*crazy spell check doesn't know slang*mumble*mumble*

Rock On Yo' Foozsh!!

Okay...so my plan...guess what???...IT WORKED!!! Somebody other than me has decided to vote on my poll!!! Sooo exciting!!!

...Okay, so it still says 100% on the one I voted on...but WHO CARES about THAT anymore??? This is great!! You are great, you random voter, you!! (even though I could probably guess who you were!) Thanks sooo sooo much!!

Love,
Kitty

Love. Peaches. Chicken Grease. Rock on Foozsh. 3wgs!!!

quote of the DAYZE

If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race. Your goal can be to come in first, to improve your performance, or just finish the race. It's up to you.

HEYo!!!

Guess what I've done?? Guess what? Guess what? Guess whaaaAAAAAT?????

I just renewed the poll on the left-hand side bar! And now YOU can tell me what SECRET SOCIETY YOU ARE IN!!!! HAVE FUN!!! Maybe I'll get more votes this time!! It's open until...I think....June 17...but I'll probably make it only go for 2 months more. That would be better....so, yeah, until APRIL 27 just to see. I'll put it out for 1 month at a time.


And if you take it, please feel free to leave a comment ANYWHERE (I will find it, because this cool thing sends me an email--but it hasn't in a loooong loooong while) :__( (crying [un]smiley face) And it would be really cool if I got some feedback..I know people have come to this page continually, however not weekly, nor daily, and that still gives me hope. YOU GUYS ROCK FOR COMING!!!!

Love,
Kitty
And just because...I love doing this....and just thought about the place I do it...which could help in recruiting people to come and check out the poll...all you have to do is scroll down....
I wish you enough FRIENDSHIP.
For today, and every day.
<3

Do you know...?

And I'm going to repeat again: Do you know....what the latest and greatest thing in my life right now is???

ORBIT GUM!

They have the BEST flavors!! I've liked their "bubblemint" gum that has a hard shell and comes in the pop top container ...as thus::

(idk if the pic is going to show or not...so...if it doesn't...well, you'll just have to deal. Look up "orbit gum container" on Google (or probably in search engine) images. It comes up as the first two pix on Google.)
...or you can just go to this website:

http://www.practicalhacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_0801.jpg


Soo...yeah, we have like, 5 flavors of orbit gum in our pantry. Two of the new Tropical Remix (but one pack is in the car if not somewhere else/already chewed out-not pun intended ^_^), two of the new Strawberry Remix (one is right next to me thought), two of the bubblemint, two spearmint, one sweet mint (which is amazing by the way! although it might not be in there/already chewed out-once again, no pun intended), and two white mint.
And issa ALL GOOD!

--up up and awaaaaaayyyyy!!!!

it says this is the 128th post.

COOL!! I mean...who doesn't like the number 128???
Okay, 128 is definitely the NUMBER OF THE DAYZE!!!


Anyhoo, to cut to the chase of what I got on here for....

THE QUOTE OF THE DAYZE!!!

In the midst of regular life, running is the touchstone that breathes adventure into my soul. I can feel the trail under my feet, the press of the hill, the gallop of the track, the burn of my lungs, the stir of wonder and possibility. Running reminds me that there is more to me than what is readily apparent much of the time. I don't always need to see it, but oh how I need to know it's there. Like having an alter ego, or a super-cool super-hero identity.

Kristin Armstrong, Author and runner

*******

My mom has been talking about these recently...saying that we need to read these because they don't just apply to running. They apply to pretty much anything in your life. See, I'm going to insert something else....say....DRAWING...where it talks about running. And it makes sense! It's so cool! So put this...even if you don't run (or like to run) put this with YOUR life. That way, YOU can relate to it just the same as anyone else....:

In the midst of regular life, DRAWING is the touchstone that breathes adventure into my soul. I can feel the BRUSH IN MY FINGERS (lol almost wrote GINGERS), the press of HAND ON UTENSIL, the gallop of MY DRAWING ACROSS THE PAGE, the burn of YEARNING IN MY HEART AND MIND (you know, as you try to get all your thoughts on the paper), the stir of wonder and possibility. DRAWING reminds me that there is more to me than what is readily apparent much of the time. I don't always need to see it, but oh how I need to know it's there. Like having an alter ego, or a super-cool super-hero identity.


I couldn't think of anything at first to replace the running with...but I guess I thought of drawing (after other sports and stuff) because I was just admiring my great friend's BRILLIANT DRAWINGS!!! (Miss SushiHeart) They were of the Madd Hatter's hat and of a cute little round-eyed animal popping out of a clear cookie jar. Very cute! And the hat?? EXCELLENT!! EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!! They were on either side of one of her binders (I'll try to find out which one) in the clear, plastic sleeves. And I would almost ask her if I could scan it and stick it on here, because I REALLY REALLY WANT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU!!!!!! IT IS SOOOO BRILLIANT! I LOVE IT!!! So Miss SushiHeart, if you're on here you sushilover, you, then you might wanna ask me about that. ^_^

See ya!!
Love,

Song of The Dayze

For The First Time by the Script

Here are the lyrics that I could pick up while it was playing on the radio:


...Same things we have been for a while. We're smiling but we're close to tears, even after all these years...for the first time....She's in line at the door with her head held high... Trying to make it work but man these times are hard.... Just now got the feeling that (we're meeting). ...for the first time drinking cheap bottles of wine, (sit talking up all night)...oh these times are hard, yeah they're making us crazy. Don't give up on me baby.

PLAYLIST OF THE DAYZE YOZ!!

Dancing Crazy by Miranda Cosgrove (the music video most specifically LOL cute puppy. nice touch. Dude, that guy is so erhmm...goood lookin'!!^_^! (in the music vid) and she's cute (in a whole different way than the dudeLOL)I like where she flicks her eyes back and forth. that makes me smile. that she just had fun in that music vid. I LOVE IT!)

The Beat Goes On by Beady Eye (I feel like I've heard this somewhere...but I never heard it often. I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those songs I heard when I was little, listening to B97.5 or something and it never came up again until recently but I absolutely loved it then)

Everywhere by Michelle Branch (A more recent song that I love. But I LOVE IT!! In 7th grade...the spring...I started drawing scenes for this song, representing the love I had just lost. They were actually pretty good...but I still need to finish them. The first is the best so far.)

Barco De Papel by Gustavo Galindo (Why do I have a song in total Spanish, you ask?? Well, because I thought it was pretty, it was free, and it didn't have any cuss words in it (I checked LOL). Plus, since I went to El Salv, I've been totally caught by the fact of Spanish singing. It just flows! It's so amazing! And...it helps on my Spanish in a fun way! ^_^ I Love you my dearest dear San Salvadorian amigos!!)

Dare You To Move (Did anyone ever tell you how amazing Apple is? And iTunes? And how the name "Genius" for the Genius thing on iTunes where it picks stuff you would like according to what you have is SO LEGIT!!??? Well, i just did, cuz it SO IS LEGIT! I heard this song a few days ago and wrote down the lyrics I heard and when I listened to it in my genius recommendations, I almost freaked because it was what I wanted AND it was on the 69 cent songs....hmmm...now idk if it was on both. but Genius is still amazing!)

Überlin by R.E.M. (I almost feel like I've heard this before, but I'm sure it was just the beat and I've heard songs by R.E.M. before. Not the song. But still, very good.)

Holy Holy by Wye Oak (A song I got free on iTunes but haven't listened to the words very closely yet. Haven't looked up the lyrics either. But I like the tune. Different, alternative, but I like that kind of stuff.)

Graduation (Friends Forever) Vitamin C (I totally thought about singing this for the talent show, and now I kind of wish I had for the smallish bear one (sorry, the term smallish bear is from the Brother Bear movies), just warned them that I was sick and didn't have any accompament (sp?) It is totally for all the people leaving next year. I'll probably record myself singing it and put it on YouTube for everyone to see. THIS IS FOR THE CLASS OF 2015 AS OF THE WHOLE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL!!! YOU ROCK AND I WILL MISS Y'ALL (who are leaving) SO MUCH!! THIS IS FOR YOU!!!)

Slide by The Goo Goo Dolls (This was def in Genius Recommendations. And I freaked when I heard this one too! I heard it on the radio around the same day I heard "Dare You To Move", and I wrote down the lyrics I could catch. I had no idea it was called Slide, but I got it once I found it!! Go GENIUS!! AFTER WEBBKINZ THOUGH!! "What you feel is what you are, and what you are is beautiful...I wanna wake up where you are.")

And those are the only songs on my iTunes on my computer right now because my computer crashed. I'll sync my iPod soon, though. I can't believe I seriously just wrote all that about all 9 songs...I love "I Dare You To Move". It makes somewhere between the pit of my stomach and my chest around my heart tingle...it reminds me of when I was depressed. This is definitely something I would have wanted to listen to then. Because it's such a MOVING song. Daring me to move. Daring me to get my butt of the floor in my secluded little world inside my head and maybe dance in the rain. This is a dance in the rain kind of song. Twirl in your best dress like Taylor Swift and just not have a care in the world. Where there is salvation. And just "Laugh Your Heart out. Dance In The Rain. Cherish The Moment. Ignore the Pain. Live, Laugh, Love, Forgive, and Forget. Life is Too Short To Be living With Regrets. I could listen to this song over and over again. ^_^ Maybe it's my song for this year. ....Yeah....welcoming back to the planet, to existence, where everyone is, watching me to make sure I'm okay (those who knew), and wondering what happens next after 8th grade. What happens next after Leelee leaves. What happens next now that I'm out of my depression and in school for the last year of my life in Middle School. It's a fall out. It's a resistance that we don't know we're a part of. Tension...but not so much in my social life...between who I am and who I could be (like wanting to do the ceremony at the tomb of the Unknown Soldiers) between what is and what should be (and not knowing what should be with some ppl and things). Forgiveness...inside myself. Where can I run to when I'm scared of myself? My friends. Just let me breathe as I listen to this song and so many things run through, and move me through my head. This is my year to move! And it has been and will be! To move after my depression and to move for the 7th and 6th graders who look up to us. And to move running. Run. Run. Run. Run to not be numb anymore. Run to feel. This song makes me FEEL and FEEL SO GOOD AFTER I FELL LIKE I DID.
What happens when Bisael comes home. What happens when bro gets mad. What happens when I see certain once-hurting people on stage. So many more things that I could write for a lOOOONG time about this. Welcome me to the planet. Welcome me to the existence. Let me see everyone, because everyone's here. Let me wait for them and watch for them like they did for me, even without knowing it, they did.

CLASS OF 2015, I DARE YOU TO MOVE. LIKE YOU DARED ME TO MOVE WHEN YOU WENT ON WITH YOUR LIVES WHILE I WAS DEPRESSED. YOU KEEP ROCKIN' ON IN THE RAIN, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE GONE, AND MAYBE NOT CLASS OF 2015 OF THIS SCHOOL. YOU JUST KEEP ROCKIN' ROCKIN' ROCKIN' ON. YOU BROUGHT ME BACK FROM EMPTINESS, CHAOS, A SILENT STRUGGLE THAT WAS IN MY EYES FOR THOSE WHO LOOKED CLOSE ENOUGH, AND FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T. YOU BROUGHT ME BACK FROM A LIVING, BREATHING HELL OF A DARK EMPTY SPACE. THE GRAYNESS OF IT ALL SCARED ME. THE FUZZINESS, UNLIKE A CUDDLY TEDDY BEAR, BUT SO MUCH LIKE AN OLD TV WHEN IT CAN'T PICK UP A SIGNAL. IT MADE EVERYTHING DARK AND DENSE, AND THE WORLD SEEMED TO BE SUFFOCATING ME. I FELT AS IF I WERE UNDER A ROCK. SQUISHED IN A MOIST, RAINY, MUDDY, GRAY AND BROWN AND BLACK HOLE. SOUNDS WERE MUFFLED. I smiled. I had fun. I laughed. I had good days, and not so good days, and awful, heart-breaking, mind-tearing days. YOU ARE MY FALL OUT AND MY RESISTANCE. AND I LOVE YOU FOR THAT. NOW....I...


NOW WE CAN RELAX. NOW WE CAN ALL RELAX TOGETHER.
HERE'S MY WISH TO ALL OF YOU.








I DARE YOU TO MOVE.
