It's a New Year

2011 is here. Faster than we all expected. Even though we all knew it was coming. For some reason, as I get older, each year goes by faster than the last. Someone what to explain why that is? I mean, I'm 16 already. It's fantastic, ya. But at the same time, I can't decide if I want to be a little kid again, or if I want to grow up and just finish high school already.

I want to make 2011 great. I was going to have a resolution. I have a few.

-Get a 6 pack
-Not eat wheat (starting tomorrow)
-Blog more
-Take more pictures
-Get all A's (so far so good)

But I want to do something worth while. I mean yes, taking care of myself is good and all, and doing things I enjoy. But those aren't things that I've been dying to do. Just things I should do.

I'm just babbling, but it's my blog, so I'm allowed to do that. Tomorrow school starts again. I have to admit I'm not too thrilled. I was just starting to enjoy my break. But I guess school will give me something to do, huh? I don't have hard classes this trimester, either. US History B, art, child development, business tech, and Chemistry B. All A's ... expect Chemistry. It's an A-. But that'll change, you wait.

Bed time now. Enjoy your Monday! I'll be back in touch soon.

2011

Happy New Years everyone! Make  it the best yet.

Best wishes.

Kate

2 Years

As of today, I have had this blog for 2 whole years. Let's just say that it's changed a lot. And so I have.

For one, I'm two years older, making me 16.

I'm in 10th grade, not 8th.

I don't think I'm any taller...

My hair is a different color.

I have a boyfriend.

I'm turning into a neat freak.

I've discovered my love for photography.

I drink green tea just as much as I drink coffee.

I go to Shepherd Schools.

I'm thinking about getting a job.

Though some things still haven't changed.

Lauren is still my best friend.

I still do dance. 

I still live with my family. 

Our house is still cold. 

I still love my family.

I still go to the FCC youth group.

I still tease my brother Clay.

I still forget a lot of things.

I'm still waiting to grow up.

I still have my laptop (though it might die soon).

I still wear size 7 shoes.

Let's see what 2011 brings.

I'm ready.

Merry Christmas

I hope your Christmas is going well. We are currently waiting for lunch, or dinner, here at the Troxell house. Presents are unwrapped  (or most, anyway) and company is here. Overall, pretty good Christmas.

Like the background? I took that picture. That's what's up.

Boys

Sometimes, boys are not worth the trouble. It seems to be all girls talk about.

How they like this boy.

How they wish this boy didn't have a girlfriend.

How they wish this boy would notice them.

How they'll never be good enough for him.

Blah, blah, blah.

Oh my goodness!

Really people?

Is this all you have to do with your spare time?

Make drama?

And say "Woe is me for not having a boyfriend?"

Seriously - get a life.

Just Relax

Life can be crazy.

And it's nice, sometimes, to just relax.

And do nothing.

And worry about nothing.

And think about nothing.

And go no where.

And not say a word.

And yet, you seem to enjoy yourself.

In the silence.

Because it's such a change from what you're used to.

No ones annoying you.

No ones gossiping.

No ones bragging.

No ones ignoring you.

No ones judging you.

You feel bliss.

Happiness.

Joy.

But it's better, sometimes, to enjoy these moments with other people.

Family.

Friends.

Pets.

People who care.

Who always have and always will.

People you love.

Fake

School hallways suck, in case you were wondering.

It's every man to himself, and if you get pushed over / drop something, you fend for yourself and hope you don't get run over.

All you hear are angry voices and swearing.

All you see are the backs of heads and couples showing a little too much affection.

And sometimes you feel

Invisible.

I know that sounds cliche,but it's true sometimes.

More often than not.

But, it's alright.

Because I'm not in a popularity contest. 

I have real friends.

I have a loving family.

I'm happy.

I don't need fakes.
