Friends we are, and so we shall remain

The Vampire Diaries - 3x13: Bringing Out the Dead

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:04:00 +0000

I just have to blog about last nights episode of The Vampire Diaries (titled Bringing Out the Dead) because I can't get it out of my head!

I have to say I am wondering who is behind all the killing? Elena and Rick thought it was Meredith but I'm thinking it might not be her because I don't think she would hurt Rick and he was badly stabbed. (And yes I do realize Meredith killed the medical examiner. If I remember right she did). I was thinking it was Klus but I don't think it's him either because he was busy in the whole episode with his brother. Maybe next Thursday we'll find out who's behind the other killings.

Hearing Stefan say he loves Elena is something I really liked hearing because even though I knew he still loved her hearing him say it is different. :)

And WOW the ending of the episode!!! That was a something I DID NOT see coming!!! I did not expect all of Klus's family go at him like they did but then again he did kill them! Another thing that shocked me was realizing Klus's mom was the one in the coffin and that she said she didn't want to kill him but forgive him. I thought she was gonna go at him too but she is his mother after all.

Lunch and Mission Impossible

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 02:26:00 +0000

On the 9th I got to go to lunch with my friend Danielle and I had a nice time! I was so happy she wanted to get together I she's a great friend! Hopefully the next time she has a break from college we can see each other again!

On the 11th after me and Mabaelu saw the movie Mission Impossible it had snowed and really snowed!

My Weather Bug app said we could get an inch or less and when we went out side it looked like we got less than an inch which was good because we could've had problem's if we got more than that! There was a lot of snow on Mabaelu's car so she was trying to get it off and got it off nicely on most windows except the front windshield and when she got back in the car I suggested she turn the windshield wipers on and get the water to come out because I thought that would help and I think it did a little but not much and as I was looking at the windshield I think I realized something and I ended up touching the windshield and it got the fog look off it so then we both started the windshield and got it less foggy looking. I'm so glad the snow wasn't bad and one guy at the mall ended up pulling his car over and giving us some spray to help get the snow off Mabaelu's car.

I'm sure some people who are singer have felt at times lonely and that's the feeling I have now and have had in the past. Sure we are loved by our families and friends but I think what makes us lonely is not having a boyfriend who loves us or who we may just date. When you're dating someone or are in love and in a serious relationship you're not lonely because you're with someone who makes you happy and I feel like I just want someone else to make me happy and in this case it's a guy and not a friend or family member. I hope at some point I will meet a guy who makes me happy and I make happy too.

I do have to admit that I feel even more lonely whenever I'm around my parents and friends who are in a relationship because I want to be happy with someone like they are so at times it's not easy. Since **** is unfortunately no longer with us a can fully move on and I no longer have feelings for him so I'm hoping someone will end up coming along.

“The Phantom of the Opera” and my attachment

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 05:22:00 +0000

Yesterday night me, Nicole, Amanda, and Amanda's boyfriend Ozzy watched The Phantom of the Opera (2004) together and I think we all had a nice time. I was so happy to see not just Nicole again but Amanda as well because it is really hard for me to be away from my friends now that most of them are out of high school like me now. Amanda's boyfriend was cool to hang out with too. Nicole doesn't have The Phantom of the Opera on DVD so the 4 of us ended up going to Hastings to get the DVD and while we were there Ozzy told me and Nicole what he was majoring in and it was funeral service and I couldn't help it and just started laughing! Nicole starts laughing to saying “I'm sorry, I'm sorry!” and Ozzy said he normally gets this reaction or another when he tells people and I asked him “Wouldn't it be depressing?” but I can't remember exactly what his answer was to that. He was a real nice guy and I hope he and Amanda continue to have a nice future together. :) I enjoyed the movie and enjoyed The Phantom of the Opera song that was sang throughout the movie.

As I said in one of my other posts about **** my feelings for him were gone and they were but now it seems that every now and then keep coming back. This is really not a easy thing for me and what I've realized is is they keep coming back because I have this attachment to him. I told him about this and he said he knows what it feels like to want someone who doesn't feel the same way back and was willing to end our relationship to end this pain I have but I told him I didn't wanna end our relationship because of this because he is such a good a friend and I was working on trying to get over my feelings for him. I talked to one of my best friends about this and she said she thinks my attachment will go away over time so I guess I'm still in the prosses I told **** I was in before trying to get over this attachment.

A nice time with my sister

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 00:53:00 +0000

My little sister got sick on the weekend with the stomach flu and didn't go back to school till today because she was so sick.

Yesterday while Maggie was home she asked me if I would play with her so I went into her room and played with her animals and games with her. I had a nice time playing with her and it makes me wish we could always get along as well as we did yesterday and just have fun like we did. I'm thinking maybe once she starts going to middle school we'll continue to get along like we did yesterday because once you get into middle school I think you're forced to be a more mature and cautious person.

All in all yesterday was nice and fun and I hope for more times like this soon!

“Abduction” and more!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 21:30:00 +0000

Yesterday me and Mabaelu got to go see the movie Abduction and we both thought it was good! I thought it was funny and I think Mabaelu thought so too because I saw her laughing! :) One thing I loved (and I'm sure Mabaelu did too) is that the first trailer that played before the movie was for Breaking Dawn - Part 1!!! I love seeing the trailers on the big screen because it's so much bigger and better quality than watching them online!

My birthday was on the 21st and I got to go to a Taylor Swift concert and it was so much fun!!! Taylor even just stood on the stage for like 5 minutes listening in shock to the other fans of hers scream! Me and my friend didn't scream but stood up and I sang along. For my souvenir I got the Speak Now 2011 World Tour book and I love it! My friend got the book and a whole lot more spending like $95.00 all together!!! I didn't realize more than 1 thing was so expensive since I just got the book which was $20.00 my goodness!

I do have a update on the whole **** situation. My feelings for him are now gone. I realize it's a good thing and I can now fully go back to just liking him as a friend like I did when I first started getting to know him.

If **** were to show up at the door would I go to him like I imagined? I really don't know it depends.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2”

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 03:19:00 +0000

I've been in more of a blogging mood lately so now I'm gonna think back in the past to July 25th:

Well everyone that came with me to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 came with me to see and it was more fun for me than it was when we saw Part 1 because this time around we had more time to talk about the movie once it was over. I was originally going to stay in Tulsa after the movie because it was a weekend I was with my Dad and I didn't wanna do that because I wouldn't have much time to talk with everyone about it plus Nicole was my guest and I didn't want to see the movie then leave and have her go back to Bartlesville herself and have her get lonely with just my Aunt and Uncle in the car so I was able to go back to Bartlesville with her and stay at her house.

I loved Part 2 like I loved Part 1 but I do have complaints about part to and they are:

We didn't see all of Snape's memories with Lilly.
Snape died in a boat house and not in the sreeking shack.
I wish we would've seen more of Ron and Hermione's faces during the kiss!!! :(
Harry didn't tell Nevil to kill the snake.
We didn't see Harry and Lula go into the Ravenclaw common room to look at the painting of the diadem.

We got to go and eat after so at that point we just talked about other things which was so nice to just sit and talk. Sam didn't get actual dinner he got a shake! Sam oh Sam! *I'm just kidding! I wish I got one with my cheeseburger because it looked good!*

Once we got back to Bartlesville me and Nicole watched Sweeney Todd and I really liked it! I thought it was really cool watching it after we saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 because a lot of the cast was in the movie and they were singing! It was crazy because watching it was like Harry Potter characters are singing and they never sing in the books lol!

The next morning we watched Sex & the City 2 and I laughed in the scene where Samantha drops her purse and everyone else gets embarrassed because condoms fall out and she starts yelling “Yes I have sex I have sex!!!” It was so funny!

My feelings for **** are fading

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 04:32:00 +0000

I have wanted to post this for a while but I haven't been in the blogging mood but right now I am:

My feelings for **** are now fading and it makes me sad because even though he said to me “Friends we are, and so we shall remain.” I have imagined that one day he would show up at my house realizing he made a mistake. I have also imagined us getting married and **** teaching me how to pay the bills on the house we bought and us having a baby.

Part of me thinks we shouldn't even be friends anymore because it hurts me to talk to him knowing we'll never be anything more (but I still can't stop imagining and even now think of him one day showing up at my house!) but at the same time I cant let out friendship go because he is so kind and is like my go to person when I have a question about God.

Thanks to my good friend I have realized she is right in that when my feeling for **** are gone I can then be with another guy if it ever happens that I am because like she said it wouldn't be right for me to be with someone else when I still had feelings for **** so I think that is one good thing about my feelings for **** fading but at the same time it KILLS me to realize they are fading! :(

Movies, movies, and more movies!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 02:19:00 +0000

I went to go see Bad Teacher with my Mom the week of the 4th of July and I really liked it! Pretty much all of the actors made me laugh! I think Camrin did a great job at playing a bad teacher! What made me happy is when me and my Mom got into the movie Nicole and her Mom were there too so I got a chance to talk with them. :)

On Monday me and Nicole went to see Transformers 3 and I really liked it! One thing that made me really like it was the fact that Patrick Dempsey was in it! I heard that Transformers 3 is the final Transformers movie and for it being the last one I thought the trilogy ended well. I think this was very graphic not like any of the other movies because in this one we actually see people getting killed and then becoming skelatans. The movie was actually in 3D and it was the first time for me seeing a 3D movie here at our theater and I thought it was very good!

I thought we were just going to see Transformers 3 but Nicole asked me if I wanted to stay and see more movies with her and have a movie marathon and I couldn't say no because there was another movie playing I would've liked to see so we ended up seeing Cars 2, Monte Carlo then The Green Lateran and I loved them all I just wished Monte Carlo didn't end the way it did because it ended in a place where we were both like “Really? It ends like this?” We wanted to see more!

At 3:30 me, my Aunt, and Uncle went to see the The Tree of Life and we all liked it! The special effects and camera shots were AMAZING!!! Me and Greg thought it was hard to follow at times but it was a lovely movie and I'm so glad we got a chance to see it when we did!

I came across a fansite for Kate Middleton and I love it! I am so happy I came across a fansite just for her because the last time I checked for one I couldn't find one just for her! I love the layout on the site you can see what it looks like below!

Doesn't it look amazing?!!! Here's what the photo gallery layout looks like:

I don't like it as much as the main layout but it still looks cool!

One thing that I think is even cooler about the site is the girl running the site is also named Kimberly! Be sure to click on the button below to go to the site for all the latest Kate news! :)

Another “Grey's Anatomy” marathon

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 21:26:00 +0000

Today I got back from Danielle's for our second Grey's Anatomy marathon and I had fun! I'm happy she invited me back again and we both are going to get together for more at some point! Danielle popped popcorn which was nice during a Grey's Anatomy of course ha ha! I'm happy I have Danielle to watch the show with because my best friend Jacki moved back to her home state.

I got to see Danielle's Sister Blair which was nice because he Sisters are fun to be around so I'm glad I got to see one of them! :)

“Super 8”!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:39:00 +0000

On the 13th I went and saw the movie Super 8 with Nicole and I liked it it just was scary too! After the Breaking Dawn teaser trailer came on Nicole was like “ That was great ready to go?” Ha ha! :) She mostly wanted to go just so she could see the trailer. I was happy to see the father in the movie was Kyle Chandler because he played the bomb squad guy in Grey's Anatomy and came back in season 3 in Meredith's after life after she drowned. I loved the scene in Super 8 when Kyle punched the one military guy because it was like “Woe!” Nicole even was like “Yeah kick his ass!” Oh fun times!

I've got to get off here soon be Danielle will be here 25 minutes to pick me up and I'm gonna stay the night at her house again and we're going to have more of our Grey's Anatomy marathon!

“Grey's Anatomy” and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:38:00 +0000

I went on Abc.com today to try and watch the musical episode of Grey's Anatomy so I could find out which songs to get off iTunes but I couldn't find it so I went online and was able to find it on VidBux so now I'm hoping I can watch it whenever until season 7 comes out on DVD!

I forgot to post this in my last post but after my Grey's Anatomy marathon with Danielle at around 10:45, 10: 50 p.m. I think it was Nicole picked me up and we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and I didn't want to go see it at first because the third movie was the last but then it was decided another would be made but only three (counting Johnny I think) of the actors from the others movies would be back and I didn't think I'd be the same but then once I decided I wanted to see it because it was shown at Project Graduation and I that changed my mind about it for sure but the line was so long already I decided I'd wait and see it and Nicole's Mom Zella even said that night because she was one of the chaperons “You can see it with Nicole anytime.” so I didn't end up seeing it then. I really enjoyed the movie and my favorite new characters were Philip (Sam Clafin) and Syrena (Astrid Berges-Frisbey)!!! Me and Nicole thought Philip was SO cute and I even asked her “Do we see him with out his shirt on?” and she's like “Oh yes get excited!” so when he had his shirt off I was SO happy! I was so wanting Philip and Syrena to kiss so I was so happy near the end of the movie when they did and swam underwater together! <3 I am wanting there to be a fifth movie that has them in it too with the other three actors. I asked Nicole if she thought there'd be a fifth movie and she thinks there will be.

“Grey's Anatomy” marathon and goin out

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:37:00 +0000

Last Tuesday I went to my friend Danielle's house and we had our Grey's Anatomy marathon! Before the marathon we had dinner at her house and her Mom made soft tacos. As we waited for the food to finish cooking we went outside to their back yard and to my surprise there were 3 (maybe 4) puppies they were taking care of temporarily from the SPCA!!! When we got there Danielle's Mom Stephenie and her Dad as well as Danielle's two Blair and Natalie we all out in the back yard with us and Stephenie was asking me if I was happy with school and things like that. Danielle's whole family is very nice! Natalie as it turnes out knows my Cousin Henry from school! I gave her the idea to get a audiobook because she doesn't like to read and she was like “Oh” and got a smile on her face and Stephenie was saying how she should try and read the book and she was like “Well I want it to read to me.” Haha! :) I think on the week of the 26th me and Danielle will continue our marathon!

This afternoon at 3 I went out with my CP buddy Michelle and her Sister Brittney! We went to Cherryberry and it was fun! I'm gonna miss not seeing her while she's at the high school next year. Sometime I think we'll try and get together to watch movies.

Jodelle and Dani's first public chat!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:36:00 +0000

On February 25, 2011 Dani from Miss Ferland posted about Jodelle going to the Eclipse convention the week before in England to meet fans and after the convention Jodelle came to stay with Dani and her family for a few days and while they were together they did a did a chat together and Jodelle answered some fan questions while also just talking with Dani! The video wont load on the site which made me sad when I wanted to see it again and after a while I came up with the idea to Google the video and found it on another website and I have it below so when ever I want to see it again I can find it here!

The Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge's wedding!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:35:00 +0000

Pictures from The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding was at 3a.m. our time and I watched it once I got home from school and I loved it! When Kate and William were saying their vows I cryed tears of happiness because I am so happy for them that they have found each other! <3 I've gotten pictures you can see below. I am hoping we will see the professional pictures soon because I think they were taken at some point after the wedding! Once those come out I will add them to this post. I was in shock seeing all the people that were outside to watch the wedding! :o

I don't know why Kate is wearing the engagement ring because William had already put the wedding ring on her finger at this point. Well I like seeing the engagement ring on her finger so it doesn't bother me much. :)
Edit: I found out from The Special Collerctor's Issue: William and Catherine of People Magazine that the reason Kate is wearing the engagement ring is because she wears both her engagement and wedding ring together!

On Kate's official website there's pictures of Kate when she was little and I've added some of the pictures. I love the picture of Kate and William on their graduation from St. Andrew's!

New William & Kate picture!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:35:00 +0000

William and Kate's royal wedding program was released today and it came with a new picture of William and Kate taken by Mario Testino who took William and Kate's engagement pictures.

Isn't it a beautiful picture? I love it!!!
The wedding will be on at 3a.m. tomorrow morning my time and since I have school tomorrow I can't wake up at 3a.m. to watch the events leading up to the wedding, the wedding, and events after the wedding so I have it set to record and will watch what I can when I get home from school tomorrow afternoon! I am so excited to watch it!!!

Lunch with Danielle again and blog name!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:34:00 +0000

Today me and Danielle went to lunch again and I had fun! We went to McAlister's and I got nachos and Danielle got the Bacon Spud with a sandwich on the side. The Bacon Spud is a baked potato with cheese and bacon which looked really good to me! I asked her if you could get the Bacon Spud without the sandwich and she said yes that it was just a choice if you wanted the sandwich on the side so next time I go to McAlister's I will be getting the Bacon Spud!!! Maybe next Tuesday or this Thursday I can go there with my Dad and Sister!

As we talked last time about having a Grey's Anatomy marathon over summer I brought it up again this time and she said we should get together for it “After we get our finals over with.” which will be the start of our final summer vacation! She said she'd text me after finals so we can find a time to have our marathon. I said “I think it would be a good idea if we had a sleep over so we could watch a few episodes. Do you still have sleep overs?” “Oh yeah! But we wont really sleep we'll just pass out wherever we are ha!” “Haha yeah!” I also asked Danielle about her Sisters because they got to be in the movie that was filmed her as extras so I asked her where the scene was filmed because I forgot where she said it was when we went to Windy's but I thought she said it was at a gas station so I said “Was it at a gas station?” and she said “Yes.” so I remembered right! :) She said in the scene Ben Affleck was outside at a gas station here and once they said action “They had to walk by him.” and that was it. Danielle was with her Mom at the time in Tulsa so once her Sisters got home her Dad called her Mom and told them both they got to be in the movie and Danielle said to him “I wish I could've been there.” She's hoping once the movie comes out next year they will be in it and I hope the same.

Now I have come up with a name for the personal part of my blog so it's not just Sarah Utterback updates as well as my personal blog anymore! It's now as well as my personal blog: Friends we are, and so we shall remain. I want to know talk about how Friends we are, and so we shall remain came to be. Before I go into the name I need to say that it has to do with a guy I like and on Monday I came to realize this about him: Yes he is cute but what attracted me to him is how kind he is. It's not like with other guys where I was attracted to them because they're cute. I've gotten to where I don't just physically like guys (****'s the guy that made me realize it) but like them because of who they are. That's how its been from the first time I really talked to him last year and I just realized it now so it shows how grown up I've become.... When I realized this is was a shock to me because I just ended up realizing it Monday night! My Mom said that's how things will continue to be when you realize other ways you've grown up. Once I realized this I couldn't wait any longer to talk to him about us one last time so here's what was said through text last night. -

Me: I remember the last time we talked about us I asked if you thought we'd ever be together and you said to “Never say never.” but you just didn't like me like that. Now I'm wondering if you'd like for us to hang out sometime and get to know each other more and maybe have more than a just friends relationship or if you don't wanna try and get to know me better and see what happens or if you just want to keep keeping me in mind if it doesn't work out with the other girl you like and see what happens with us or just stay friends from now on?

****: I'm not one to lie to anyone, especially a friend. Being in a relationship with you now would be like me lying to you every second or every day. Thus, I can't be in a relationship with you because I don't love you like that. Friends we are, and so we shall remain.

Me: Now I've just got to put the great feelings I have torwed you as more than a friend to rest. Now I know what I feel will no longer be something we talk about again. I thank you for your honesty about how you feel and am glad we'll remain friends.

****: I apologize for this pain, but the sting of a lie is much worse. I am also grateful for our friendship.

- 4-26-2011

So that there is how the name came to be because I don't want to ever forget him saying “Never say never.” about maybe us being together to now “Friends we are, and so we shall remain.” I still haven't gotten over him as more than a friend and I think it will take me a while to do because how I was attracted to him because of his kindness and him being the first one ever that I realized it with but I have prayed to God about helping me get through having feeling for him as more than a friend and this morning as I was eating breakfast I realized He will help me because when I was watching the TV a comerical for First Baptist Church and the preacher (I'm assuming that's who it is) was saying how God should be the first person we ask for for help and that being what I did yesterday night I think it is a sign he is going to help me! :)

Lunch with Danielle

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:33:00 +0000

Today I went out to eat with my friend Danielle and I had fun with her and I think she had fun too! We went to Windy's and one of my favorite parts was getting chocolate frosty! She asked me if I had any Brothers and Sisters and that led me into telling her I was born with CP then was adopted. From what I can remember she's the only one who's asked me more about my CP asking “Does it hurt when you walk sometimes?” and I said “Well it only hurts if I'm standing for long periods at a time.” She was very nice about it. We plan on having lunch again sometime! :) Over summer we wanting to have a Grey's Anatomy marathon!

The movie filmed here

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:32:00 +0000

Since filming has finished will all the actors in the Untitled Terrence Malick Project I wanted to make a post about where the actors were staying. Ben Affleck however didn't stay where all the others did which I think it because of his kids being around while he was filming some. Ben stayed at a house here and I've got pictures online from Zillow.com and they're below!

My Business Law 1 and 2 teacher knew where Ben was staying because his wife is a relater. Obeously like I said since Ben's no longer living here I am now posting this because I wouldn't post it when he was here filming for his privacy (as well as his wife and kids).

Everyone else who was in the movie stayed at this hotel in Downtown Bartlesville and my Aunt told me that while the other actors were staying there while filming no one else was allowed to book rooms at the hotel for their privicy which I think is very nice and I think made them really enjoy their time here! :) I can't believe I didn't even know there was a hotel here!

Mackenzie!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:31:00 +0000

I decided to not post this before but I changed my mind so I am adding it to this post. Mackenzie Foy has been picked to play Renesmee in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 and I've gotten some pictures of her from Miss Mackenzie and Nessie Mackenzie Online where you can see pictures of her.

This picture is of Mackenzie out taking a picture with a fan that met her while filming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 and 2 (they're filming in a different place now):

I can't wait to see Mackenzie in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 in 2012 I think she'll do a great job! :)

Rachel St. Gelais has been picked to play younger Renesmee so her face will be used and put on to Mackenzie's face so it'll show Renesmee's aging and I think they would also have to use Rachel's arms and legs to make it look right but maybe they wont have to do that at all I don't know much about CGI this will be something I will be talking to my Uncle about when I get a chance! I think there will have to be a even younger Renesmee too to play the newborn Renesmee but nothing has been said by said for sure it there will be another girl besides Mackenzie and Rachel so I am hoping it will be announced soon! You can see a pictures of her at Nessie Mackenzie Online:

Two pictures from the Untitled Terrence Malick Project that was filmed here in Bartlesville have come out (the first is a behind the scenes picture and the second is a production picture that I LOVE!!!) and you can see them below!

Personal post

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:30:00 +0000

Like I said in my last post I was going to make this post yesterday but I couldn't get my Internet to work. On Wednesday at not long after 5p.m. Nicole picked me up and we went to her house (on the way she was telling me about the United Nations) and once we got there I showed her the William and Kate book I got called William and Kate: A Royal Love Story and she loved it! (I do too of course!!!) Not long after Nicole's Mom Zella showed up and we went to Tulsa to see Beastly and on the way we talked about William and Kate then British Monarchy. Once we got to the theatre Nicole explained that she worked at the theater in Bartlesville and she was told by the manager at the theatre in Tulsa she could get us in for free so we got in free of course and also got free popcorn as well just like in Bartlesville. Zella was nice and got drinks for us before the movie started and I'm assuming those were free as well but I don't know. I liked the movie but I wished some parts of the book weren't missing and Nicole felt the same way. After the movie the three of us went to eat at Carino's which was amazing for me because it's Italian (and Nicole liked it too because she too is a fan of Italian)!!! When we got to the restaurant I pulled out the money I had and Zella said “When I take girls out to dinner I don't have them pay so put your money away Kim.” and Nicole said after her “Put it away.” and I said to Zella “I should at least give it to you.” and she's like “Nope.” so I didn't push it. For dessert me and Nicole got mini-chocolate cake and Zella got mini-tiramisu. On our way back we talked about high school stuff.

This week I found out my friend Ashley is having a baby boy. I am happy for her but I just can't believe she's having a baby! She never seemed to me like a girl who would end up having sex because she told me once she wasn't gonna make the same mistake her brother did and have sex so I am really surprised she decided to make the choice. I have a lot of friends who have had sex and right now off the top of my head I can tell you I know 15 of my friends have had sex and some of them have had a baby. I've been thinking Maybe there's something that leads to my friends having sex out of anger or hurt like in movies or TV shows you may be at a friends house or party and they have beer and since they're so mad or hurt it ends up with them thinking Oh screw it!!! and they end up having a beer same as sex. I know that has happened with one of my friends but not with beer with drugs so that could most definitely be a reason my friends and others around the world have been having sex. Another reason I think it could happen is because the guy or girl feel pressured into doing it or they just decide they want to do it. I just wish that teens having sex and having babies didn't happen as much as it is now all over the world.

I was listening to a old Smart Mouths episode last night and it was the episode about bullying and it was brought up by Matt I think it was that he believed that we could stop bullying in some places but never all around the world which I think is true but the sad thing is bullying will always be somewhere even if it's not pressured to do so. I just hope that it gets better and bullying can stop in some place no matter how small. I think something that should happen is every year we should all have assemblies at school that say how bullying will not be tolerated at the school! I know that it sounds weird having assemblies about bullying in high school but I think it needs to happen and even in college too! In the Smart Mouths episode they talked about the college student Tyler Clementi who killed himself on Sept. 22, 2010 by jumping of the George Washington Bridge and what's so sad is the people that lead to Tyler's death were in college!!! I think if there's assemblies at the beginning of every year of high school and college would really help and maybe I could even encourage it!

Layouts and more!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:29:00 +0000

I wanted to make a post about this a while ago but I was just posting news about Sarah because school seemed like just quizzes and test like crazy but now I feel like getting on my laptop more for my personal posts.

Madly Grey's Paradise and Simply Georgie have what I think are really great layouts! The layout on MGP is different now but I really loved it and the SG site still has the same layout and I love it because all the purple plus Georgie's outfit! You can see pictures of the layouts below and of course credit goes to MGP and SG!

Engagement pictures of William and Kate came out in February but I didn't know about them till earlier and I love them!

I am hoping that there are more pictures and they just haven't been put online yet because I think these are wonderful pictures! <3

Now I have been delaying to post this for a reason but here it goes! Back on July 7, 2007 Stephenie made a post with celebrities that she thought in her head were what the characters looked like and this is what Rosalie looks like to Stephenie.

Now I know before the movie came out a lot of fans were worried because they didn't think Nikki could be Rosalie because she doesn't look like Rosalie and I think one reason fans were worried was because when they first saw pictures came out they didn't see what Nikki looked like in character just what she looked like in real life.

I am guessing that this is the picture that they saw based on when Stephenie posted links to the castes IMDb pages so I'm thinking every fan was like "Whoa hold on!" but then I would like to think everyone calmed down once pictures of the cast in character

I am not sure if everyone calmed down at this picture post on Stephenie's website because I was just reading the first book in 2008 before the movie was even released so I didn't like go to any Twilight fansites so I never knew what everyone was saying at the time. I have a feeling though that they didn't because I remember Nikki saying how she knew some fans didn't think she was right to play Rosalie and I can see how they could think that seeing this picture because I think everyone thought this is how the characters would look in the movie period and nothing would change. I think when these pictures were posted it should've said that this wasn't how they may look for sure. But then we did get to see what they looked like in the movie and for Nikki as Rosalie it was this

But sadly I still don't think some of the fans were happy. And I can see from the picture above of Rosalie fans are still not happy but I just realized that even when Stephenie posted what Rosalie looked like to her they may've not even been happy with what Stephenie said looked like Rosalie to her too! Fans do even disagree with authors choices as well! In my case it didn't bother me at all when I saw the movie because to it it was just what Rosalie looked like to me and nothing else just like with all the other characters. The only compliant I have as Nikki as Rosalie is that in Eclipse during Rosalie's back story (in the scenes when she was human) is she didn't have blue/almost vilote eye contacts around the color Elizabeth Taylor's eyes were like this:

I took this picture with my cell phone from a People Magazine. :)

I think Nikki actually looks like Joanna in the picture Stephenie posted back in 2007! I am a BIG Nikki fan so I am not going to listen to the negative things fans say if they're still saying anything now. I think Nikki is a great actress who really cares about making the Twilight fans happy with her performance as Rosalie (and does a wonderful job!) and in all the other movies she is in! :)

Yesterday I went off campus lunch for the first time ever in high school and it was so much fun! My friend Marika asked me to come with her to power lunch at First Baptist Church where anyone can go and eat lunch for just 3 dollars! Time went by way faster eating off campus than it does eating on campus! I hope sometime before graduation on May 20th or before after out last day of school on the 26th we'll be able to go out to eat again!

Me and my tender heart

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:27:00 +0000

For the past 2 days I've been thinking about a girl named Victoria who rides the handicapped bus with me. She has Mental Retardation and I don't think she know what's really going on around her as she's in her own world in her head. I was talking to my Mom about how I don't understand why she's even in school b/c I don't think she understands people (when we're on the bus she always like yells and shakes her arms around and it never stops and the yelling can get on my nerves at at times) b/c when the aid on the bus tells her to turn around or something she doesn't do anything and it's the same thing in the halls too. When she's with a aid she doesn't pay attention to where she's going so an aid walks with her. She can however eat on her own which I don't understand b/c her brain is so different than ours and since she seems so in her own world I thought maybe she wouldn't even know to eat but she does and my Mom thought maybe she just does it without thinking like we do when we blink b/c we don't even realize we do it. Another reason I've felt this way is b/c since she's in her own world how she would learn anything in the class she's in all day and that she's also in diapers and then a thought came to me that maybe she's at the school so her Mom can still work and Victoria is just being baby sat by the aids and teacher b/c the only other place she'd be able to go is the nursing home. Her Mom does have to work after all.

When I see Victoria and all the other people with server disabilities like her I feel so bad for them b/c I think "How're they going to live their lifes?" Last night I went into my Moms room after I got out of the shower and told her how I thought it would be nice if there was a place people like Victoria could go live and do something they would enjoy just so they could have some happiness and I just broke down after I said that and had tears in my eyes saying "I feel so bad for them." After I was able to calm down my Mom told me she likes to think that even though people like Victoria act a certain way she likes to believe they're happy inside and told me there are in fact places like I was hoping there was for people like Victoria but there isn't one here as we're such a small town and when she said that I felt a little better. I told my Mom about another girl at my school named Becky who has Down syndrome and how she's so sweet and how I'd love to work with her b/c she's the sweetest thing and my Mom said how she thought I'd be great at a job working at a place where people like Victoria and Becky can stay and I said "I'd just love to do something to make them happy." So maybe someday if I move out on my own I can move to a place that has a place where people like them can stay and try to get a job there. :)

UnSweetined

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:26:00 +0000

My personal post will come tomorrow!

Update:

I just finished reading UnSweetined last Sunday and I really enjoyed it! I knew Jodie from watching Full House re-runs but I never knew she had problems with drugs till my Mom (I think) told me forever ago and once I was at Borders and I saw she had a book out. My Mom didn't want me getting the book b/c she knew it was about Jodie's drug use and stuff and now a year later I got the book! Near Christmas I decided to put it on my Christmas list and see what would happen b/c I still wasn't sure if she would approve but I guess she realized I was old enough and mecher enough. :) When I got further into the book I got confussed b/c Jodie goes back and foreth in the book a lot and I wasn't sure if what she was talking about was in the past or not but I was lucky b/c Mrs. Coleman (who is the interpreter for my friend Emily who's def) was their when I got to those parts in the book and helped me out. I really loved how honest Jodie was in the book about her relapses she had a few but was able to pull through. Jodie first drank when she was a 14 year old high school freshman (pg 59) and didn't stop and first did drugs at age 15 in her junior year of high school and didn't stop (pg 66) but later stayed 16 months sober w/o drinking or doing drugs. 3 months into her marriage she relapsed by drinking and doing drugs then was sober 45 days w/o drinking or doing drugs (pg 140) then relapsed again by doing drugs (pg 141) then stopped doing drugs (pg 142) then relapsed again by doing drugs (pg 145) and was sober for 6 months (pg 155) then relapsed again (pg 158) by drinking and doing drugs. She then got sober once she realized she was pregnant (pg 191) then a long time later she relapsed by drinking (pg 210 second paragraph) and doing drugs (pg 112) then got sober (pg 214)! :) After I finished the book my Mom asked me "Do you think she's okay now?" And I said "Yes I think her having Zoie changed everything." I know from reading the preface of the book that Jodie struggles everyday with being sober but I believe she is now in a good place and Zoie saved her life (as Jodie says in the book)! In the book Jodie had a bunch of personal pictures for us to see and they're below.

Credit for the personal pictures goes to Jodie and credit for the book cover picture goes to Mike Rosenthal!

I think it was really sweet of Jodie to share these pictures with us! One thing that is sad though is if you get the book in paper back the pictures aren't shown. One thing Jodie says in the book is how you can get alcohol and drug addictions from your parents and it even says on Addictions and Recovery the same thing: It discovered that if a parent has a drug or alcohol addiction, the child had an 8 times greater chance of developing an addiction. I was put into a foster home after I was born and later adopted b/c my birth Mother had a cocaine addiction and I've never done any drugs which I think is b/c I wasn't around some of my friends when they did them (I know some of them have done them) and I know it's wrong so I think it has to do with the way I was raised with my adoptove parents.

Snow!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kim) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 20:25:00 +0000

We now have snow!!! I wish it could've came during Christmas but I'm glad we got some now! I hope to be adding the pictures I took soon. One of the pictures I took was at school during me last hour like 10 minutes before school was out and the snow wasn't coming down too fast then all the sudden it came down faster in bigger snow flakes and I took more pictures on the bus ride home. What I really liked about the pictures was that the snow looked really pretty on the trees.
