Things Are Always Changing, There's Nothing I Can Do To Change It.
Wow.
Just, wow.
It hasn't really hit me until recently, but I'm really unsure of what I want to do with my life. I mean, I want to be with him forever, and I want to be a photographer, and I want so many things! But, I mean, I'm not sure if all of those things are what I want. All I know is I had better figure it out pretty damn quick. Why? Because in TWO WEEKS I'm going to be a senior in high school. That means I have one more year until I dive feet first into the "real world" that everyone talks about. "One day, I won't be here to do all this for you. You need to start learning now. I won't be there for you when you're out there in the real world," they always say. What do they know? How many kids are really ready for the "real world" by the time they finish high school? Yes, they have jobs and they have cars and they have different responsibilities, but who is really ready? Most kids don't know how to fend for themselves. Most don't even know how to do their own laundry and always bring a month's worth of laundry home to Mommy so that they finally have clean clothes to wear instead of having to recycle clothes. It's sad to me that I'll be leaving the safe haven that is my home in a little more than 365 days. It's sad that, after high school, all my friends are gonna go off and do big things with their lives and I'll probably be stuck here in BFE for the rest of forever. I know I want to go places. I want to go to Rome, Paris, Greece, London, Scotland, Ireland. Just, EVERYWHERE... But, how am I going to get there? I want to go all these places and do all these things, but I don't know where to start. How do I get there? Who do I have to trick to get me there? What do I have to do? I want to make a difference. I want to do something big. I want, I want, I want. Shouldn't I have learned by now that I can want all I want, but I'm probably never going to get it? Shouldn't I have learned that I can work as hard as I want to, as hard as I need to, but I'll probably never get to see all the places I want to see, and I'll never get to do all the things I want to do? I shouldn't say I want, because I'll never get. Does anybody get what I'm saying? Probably not. You all probably just think I'm some mixed up crazy 17 year old girl trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Like I'm trying to be a drama queen. I'm really not. In my head, I'm screaming for help. I'm terrified of what the future might hold for me. I hate not knowing things, but I don't know what's going to happen in the future. That realization scares the living hell out of me. What do I do? I can't answer these questions, and I really don't know of anyone that actually can. For all I know, everything that is constant in my life right now could instantly vanish before my eyes. My friends, my love, my passions, my everything, POOF. It could all just disappear if I look away. Who I am today may not be who I am tomorrow. That possibility, that teensy spec of unknown, could ruin everything.
Something happened today. Carter and I were in my car, and we were driving back to his house after practice today. I did something, but he didn't see it, and I wouldn't do it again. Carter is one of those guys who has to know everything, and if you don't tell him something, he assumes the worst. But, I mean, I usually tell him everything, so it isn't a problem. Anyway, I was just dancing in my car (I usually do, and I do it while I'm driving, but don't be alarmed, I still have at least one hand on the wheel!!!) and Carter didn't see all of it, so he asked me to do it again. I said I didn't want to. After a good ten minutes of that back and forth (jokingly), he got really quiet. He usually doesn't do that. So I asked him what was wrong. He didn't say anything. Then he told me he was joking when he didn't answer me. We did that all the way up his driveway (which can be pretty long). I thought everything was okay. Then, when we were in his room, he did it again. I was laying on his bed, and then he moved to the floor. After that was all over with, we laughed b/c we were just joking. But in all seriousness, if something like that were to REALLY happen, I would have been crying by that point. I would have thought that I had made him mad, and I can't stand the thought of him being mad at me. What if that were real? The fact that he loves me more than anything in this world could change in an INSTANT. I could do or say something wrong, and he could just stop loving me. What would I do then? I don't know what I would do. I probably wouldn't do anything. [SPOILER WARNING: IF YOU HAVEN'T READ NEW MOON YET, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER. I'LL TELL YOU WHEN TO KEEP READING.]I'd be screwed worse than Bella was when Edward left in New Moon. I wouldn't have a purpose anymore, really. I'm so used to having someone always there for me who ISN'T my bestest buddy Brituhknee that if that were suddenly taken from me, I'd go into shock. I wouldn't know what to do with myself anymore. I probably wouldn't even be able to drag myself out of bed in the morning and try to lead a normal life. [SPOILER OVER. YOU CAN CONTINUE READING NOW, EVERYBODY] So yeah. It just scares me that it could happen. It scares me that anything could change how I am right now. I'm so happy where I am. I've got someone who loves me unconditionally, I've got awesome friends, I'm five months away from legally being an adult. What could be better? To think that something could change all this scares me so badly. Some nights I lie awake and think "What could happen to change all this?"
Knowwhutimsayin? But I'm gonna stop for now b/c if I keep thinking about this, I'll start crying, and I've pretty much written a book by this point anyway.

The Adventures of Katie and Carter.
So, for those of my avid readers who don't know, I'm dating the greatest guy on the friggin' planet. Carter Heptinstall (future husband?, pre-fiancee? hahaha. I love that word) is friggin' awesome. He's so sweet, and funny as all get out, and he's actually not an asshole! YAAAAAY!
So yeah, I'm happy, and I've never been happier. And honestly, there isn't a thing that anyone in the world can do to stop it. We go together like Oreo's and Milk. Like two peas in a pod, we're stuck together. And, I mean, it's crazy! We have seriously only been dating for almost two months, and we already know we're gonna be together for the rest of forever. =] And, for the first time in my short little life, I can honestly say that I have absolutely no problem with that.
So, to you: I love you with everything I've got, and then some, and forever never sounded so good. <3 Ily CarterBoo. :D

Damn Dirty Sexist Bastards.
Okay. So, I'm sure you're all imagining "wtf? sexist bastards?" So, I think I should e'splain.
A friend of mine is in a band. A heavy metal band, might I add. Now, normally I don't sing much heavy metal (hardly any at all), but I really think I could do it. I've been able to handle anything that anyone can throw at me, so why not this? Anyway, so my friend asked me if I would sing in their band. I was like "Sure, why not?" So, today, my friend told two of the guys that are in the band with him that I might be singing with them. Those two guys go "If she sings, we're out."
Now, here's where it get's sticky. One of the guys is my ex-boyfriend, the one with whom I was having a very nasty email conversation with in the past (See "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People with All the He Said She Said" parts One and Two for more details.) So, he and I have a bit of a history, but we don't really have a problem with each other anymore. (So I thought...) The other guy is my ex's best friend. And when I say best friend, I mean one is stuck up the other's ass so far that the only thing hanging out is their toes. So if one goes, so does the other because apparently they don't have the capability to have their own personal opinions and they have to rely on each other to form a damn coherent sentence. Sorry, I got a little carried away. I do that when I'm rather angry.
I was told that they said that if I joined their heavy metal band that it wouldn't be like a real heavy metal band. Now, how the fuck did they come to that conclusion? I mean, that statement could be taken one of two ways, from how I see it.
One) They are damn dirty sexist bastards that think that girls can't handle heavy metal music
or
Two) They think that my voice SUCKS and they don't want to be a part of any project that would involve my vocal skills.
Either way, that totally fucking sucks and both are really STUPID reasons to just leave your friends that you formed a band with out to dry. I mean, who fucking does that? I'll tell you who does that: someone who is too stuck up to realize that a little more talent never hurt anyone. Someone who doesn't realize that GIRLS CAN DO IT JUST AS WELL AS GUYS CAN, DAMMIT, AND THAT YOU SHOULD GIVE THEM A FUCKING CHANCE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO TURN TAIL AND HAUL ASS OUT OF THERE. STUPID FUCKING PEOPLE.
I honestly think that they were trying to say that because I'm a girl that I couldn't possibly handle what heavy metal has to offer. Bullshit. I can do it just as well as the next guy could. And honestly, I really think I could do it better than the one who has is head shoved up the other's ass.
And what honestly makes me laugh is that the other three guys in the band are IN LOVE with the idea of me singing. They think it'll be great! But these two damn dirty sexist bastards just have to come along and piss me the fuck off and tell me (well, really, tell my friend. he couldn't POSSIBLY have the balls to tell ME this) that they won't do something that they enjoy just because I'm doing it.
Ha, I just had a thought as I was writing that last line. What if they chose not to do something they enjoy anymore because I'M doing it. In which case, I have to say to them: FUCK OFF and get the fuck over yourselves. I have no damn problem with you guys, but you're going to go and fuck your friends over just because I'm there. That's fucking stupid. We are all almost adults here, and it's obvious who the more mature person is in this situation. Grow the fuck up, and get over your damn selves. You obviously don't know how stupid and fucking immature you sound right now.
I think I'm about done with all this now. I don't really have anything else to say, other than to tell those to to fuck off, and to tell the other guys thanks for thinking I can do it. Okay?

Peacee.

Moment...
I so just had a moment. And not a very good one.
I realized (again) that I graduate high school next year. And, to be honest, that scares the living shit out of me. For pretty much all my years of exsistence I've been in school and I've always had something to do and always been told to do stuff and yada yada yada. As of May 22, 2010, that's no more. I don't know if I'm ready for that. And then, when I get to really thinking about that, I don't know what I'm ready for. I also don't know what'll happen to me after high school. I mean, you always hear about people leaving right after high school and going off and doing their own thing and all this jive, and never hearing from their high school friends ever again. I don't want that to happen. I mean, my high school friends are the awesomest ones anyone could ever ask for. I mean, I have friends that run into other people's classrooms just to get a phone number for me (jerkface. lol.) I've got friends that, even though they can be douchebags, are freaking hilarious to hang out with b/c they are always doing something retarded (I think I can forgive you now... I've got someone else to be mad at. haha. j/k about the mad part.) I've got friends who can laugh at the word "spoo-en" with me (or "Jesus Saves at Walmart"!!). All my friends are so friggin diverse that they keep all the random parts of me in check. I've got friends who do the greatest things for me, and I mean all of them at this point. They're all so great, and I'm just afraid that, after May 22, I'm never gonna hear from any of them again. I'm not gonna get to see them every day, and laugh at their stupidity every day. I don't know what my future holds, but I hope it holds the fact that I still talk to my high school friends.
I also had another realization during this moment...
I'm gonna grow up some day. I'm gonna grow up and be just as crabby as my mother and as goofy as my father (if I'm not already). I'm gonna be just as crazy as my sister, as retarded as my brother, make just as poor decisions as everyone in my family has before me. I want to be different, but we all know how well that's gonna work out. And, I mean, all I've ever known is being "a kid." That's all I've ever done, and I don't know how to do anything else better. I know I'm legally 9 months away from adulthood, but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna BE an adult in 9 months. I'm friggin terrified to know what in God's name I'll become when I'm older. Who ISN'T scared of their future?

I'm NOT As Stupid As I May Seem...
Did you really think that you play me for stupid? I mean, really. I'm not as stupid as I may come off. I'm really not. Did you really think that you could get away with trying to go to prom with me, or whatever you may have been thinking, while you have a friggin girlfriend?
HAHA! You must underestimate me.
I have my ways of finding things out. I have my ways of knowing things. And I, unless you have forgotten, am a WOMAN, and can hold a grudge UNTIL I DIE. I've told someone else this before you, but hey, I'm gonna tell you too. I'm a woman who can hold a grudge. Don't think I'm going to forget this any time this CENTURY, really. I'm not even playing with you anymore. You arent worth my time, and I am so glad I found this out before I got in too deep. Thank God.
So yeah, I wouldnt even bother trying to do anything, like make amends. It would just be a waste of both of our time.
To the kidds who helped me find all this out:
THANKYOU!!!
