A Royal Rumpus

      Once upon a time in the far away land of Sweet Grass County High school, there lived three princesses. The names of the three princesses were Carladeeda, Kateetootentah, and Meloopdeeloop. All during the week the princesses would slave over their royal loads of homework, put up with royal crap, and work on other royal duties .
      Being a princess required you to eat healthy food, be lady-like and be everlastingly stressed. One day Meloopdeeloop decided that she wanted to take a break from being a princess so she invited Carladeedah and Kateetootentah over to her castle to shrug off their royal duties for the night.
     Now this was no uncommon occurrence for these princesses. This was a tradition that was never to be broken. It was almost a sacred event and it consisted of a couple requirements. There was always to be the royal watching of the three most amazing movies ever: Easy A, Ten Things I Hate About You, and of course Mean Girls. There was also to be the not-so-royal pigging out which of course required cool ranch Doritos in ranch chip dip, and popcorn dipped in salsa con queso. And lets not forget the royal doing of the Dew.
      Now on this particular evening only one royal movie was watched and an early evening was to happen, well atleast that was the idea. The princesses started to talk about their royal messes. At one point princess Meloopdeeloop decided to tickle Carladeedah. Now this was the most unfairest of all, for Meloopdeeloop was not ticklish at all and when Carladeedah tried to take vengence it ended only more tickling. Carladeedah and Kateetootentah decided to take up an alliance and take on Meloopdeeloop together. They attacked! Squealing and giggling the princesses were everywhere trying to tickle and rasberry eachother. It was a royal rumpus! The princesses didn't end up going to bed till 3:30 the next morning. So it can be said that the princesses were very tired for their royal duties the next day. To this day the princesses are great friends and still have royal rumpuses whenever they can. And so is the story of the royal rumpus.

A Movie Review ~ A River Runs Through It

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I find it necessary to say that Robert Redford outdid them all with this movie. He captured excellently the essence of the book. The beautiful Montana countryside and the cast came together wonderfully to create an absolute masterpiece. Now I would not say these things if there was not evidence to prove it. For those of you who have not seen A River Runs Through It I implore you to watch and read it but ask that you not read on for I wish not to ruin it for you! Now, as I was saying, I would not speak so highly of this movie if there was no evidence within the film to deem it so. For instance, one particular part of the movie displays the character contrast between the two brothers, Paul and Norman. The boys are sneaking out of the house to hang out with there friends. Exiting the second story of the house, Paul proceeds to jump off the roof, feet first, and without a second thought as to the results. Norman follows by crawling down the side using the drainpipe and some vines. This scene shows Paul's outgoing nature and Normans more reserved personality. These opposite characteristics start an ongoing theme throughout the movie. We see the natures of the brothers shape their lifestyles as they grow older. Norman gets a job and wife and, although stated quite bluntly, Paul ends up dead. With much building action in between that keeps you intrigued and entertained, Robert Redford gives life to the story that touches the hearts of all who encounter it. I give my greatest appraisal to the outcome and suggest the film to all.

Journal Prompt #9 "You can love completely without complete understanding."

     Wow. To love completely without complete understanding. Those are some pretty powerful words. Sometimes I think that we all get wrapped up in who we think people are instead of just letting them be who they are. Getting to know someone and the little things that make them their own are what people fall in love with. But if we started appreciating and loving someone before we really got to know them. Would that change our view of them. Definitely. Maybe it's someone who's already in your life, someone you already know. No one person is perfect. We all struggle, we're all tempted, and it's inevitable that at some point the road will be rough. As much as we like to think we do, we really don't know all that is going on in some one's life. We don't know, we can't relate and we can't help. All we can do is just stand by and love. Lome them all the more. Love them even when you can't understand completely.

~A nUrSeRy RhYmE aBoUt An ArT oF mInE~

I opened up my binder today
To see what I could find
And I decided to write my journal
Like a nursery rhyme

If you had hair just like Rapunzel
Please entertain this thought
What would you if you found it to be
In a horrible tangled up knot

Or what if you had almost no hair at all
Like Gollum in Lord of the Rings
Or maybe your hair was like Bob Marley's
Which was constantly caught up in strings

You see there's a tactic when making a part
In the morning whilst doing your hair
Some people may not think that it is an art
But frankly, I really don't car

It's frizzy, too curly or constantly dry
Maybe there's not much at all
I think that I can master your hair
I'll prove it just give me a call

Journal Prompt #4 ~The Voice of Fear

       Once upon a time I went cliff jumping.  Now one might think that I was scared to jump off that 50 foot cliff, but oh no.  I love the adrenaline rush as I'm flying through the air and the jolting smack when I hit the water.  You see, what really had me shaking in my pants that day was the deep water I was treading in waiting for my fellow "jumpee" to clear the cliff.  Now that I look back on it, the situation was a wee bit backwards and definitely humorous, but I tell ya what, that water had me ready to pee my pants I was so freaked out. 
      Sometimes I can hear the voice of fear and it's opinion on the matter of that fateful day. "Well Katie, I'd have to say that you are definitely one of my most interesting clients.  I would not have guessed this outcome.  I had imagined you a bit more nervous at the top of the cliff, not the bottom.  I expected to hear a squeal of fear as you flew through the air, not as you sat in the water.  Ha, I dub you as crazy.  Nevertheless I still did my job that day.  Good work Katie, good work."
