rain. the feeling of the drops of water dripping down my face... the clap of thunder... streak of lightning... feeling wet... dancing.

once i wrote a poem about dancing in the rain.

it went something like this

Dance in the Rain

spinning and twirling

as clouds roll in

the sun is all gone

God's heavenly lights have gone dim

the thunder is booming

all have gone inside

except one little child

as lightning fills the sky

that one little child

all by herself

is awed by the rain

considers it wealth

some say sun brings happiness

they sit there and complain

but really those people have never

spent time dancing in the rain

before i leave, i just want to say a quick story... the other day, the Praise Team from school was at mrs. b's house ... anyways, we were talking about dancing in rain. my friend thought that that was so DUMB and was like what do you do... look outside, realize it's raining and plug in a radio?

and i thought who's dumb now?

finally

finally it feels like summer.

finally school is done for the year.

finally i can sleep in

finally i can relax

finally one chapter of my life is over

finally i can start a new one.

long lost post

i have been trying to post something all day! no particular reason why, but i just felt like i havent written in a LONG time.

so finally, here it is. the post ive long been waiting to post.

funnies with the couple

i find enjoyment in small things. one of my favorite things to do at school is make this one couple in my class feel awkward. enjoyment is found because they make everyone else feel awkward. they are the kind of couple who don't really talk to each other, and when things get awkward, they just start making out. but sometimes my plans don't quite work out, or they end up funnier than i anticipated.

here are some of my stories...

• since about the second month of school, after everyone knew about Awkward Couple, i decided to have some initiative. i decided that i would change this awkwardness into a funniness for the poor passer-byers. I decided that Awkward Couple's hugging sessions would turn into group hugs. most of the time its just the three of us. at first they were totally creeped out, but now, when our group hugs occur, they automatically say, "hey kat"
• one day, while the grass was green and the sun shone bright, Awkward Couple were lying on the soccer field while my friends and i ate our lunch a little ways away. I turned to my friends and said, "you know what, we should stop allowing this noncense! we should go and dance around them" so my friends and i got up, walked over and started to do, not just a dance, but a TRIBAL dance around Awkward Couple. then we walked away.

now for my mom's favorite story....

• one day, Awkward Couple stood in the hallway beside each other, awkwardly of course, so i walked up to them and called out "LOVE LINE" and stood beside Awkward Boy.... but here's the funnie part.... Awkward Girl walked away. I turned to Awkward Boy still holding him awkward and i was like "now THIS is kinda awkward"

now, time for one more story...

• one day, i was walking down the hallway to my next class with one of my friends, and there i saw Awkward Couple and i turned to my friend, "i'm going to go and give them a HUG!" but then, out of the blue, they started to make out! and i was thinking EWWW! i was thinking kat, just letitgo, but in my heart i was like opprotunity! so i just told them, "you know i was going to hug you, but then you started to make out, and i was kinda awkwarded out" then i walked away... apparently they were red.

BAHAHAHA! my life is complete with them!

enclosed.

i'm in a box.

it's dark, enclosed, i'm alone

inescapable.

some light comes through the little holes

i try to grasp it, but when i do, it disappears.

i see someone standing outside the box.

a friendship is made.

we talk of each other and of love

but when he realized that i would never escape from the box,

he left.

now i'm alone. again.

wouldnt life be easy.

wouldn't life be easy

and maybe not so hard

if you could close your eyes,

count to ten

and all your troubles'd be gone.

wouldn't life be easy

if when your day is rough

you could breathe in deep

and let it go

and all your messes'd be fixed.

wouldn't life be easy

and maybe not confusing

if you could spin around

and spin again

with all you pain dismissed

but sometimes life's not easy

it's confusing, rough and hard

but if i close my eyes,

breathe in deep

and spin around

all my messes can be fixed.
