okay so i haven't been writing for quite a while. the reason i have had the past 3 weeks off and have been making the most of it. ive been hiking, sliding, playing both my guitar and piano, flirting, seeing friends left right and center. its been so much fun. i feel like i just haven't stopped. apart from one really good night, i was supposed to go to church but i totally blanked on a) what time it was and b) what day it was so i got to about half way through late afternoon and remembered, then got distracted by something else and blanked again. but it turned out to be just the night i needed. just sitting on my own , chilling and relaxing with some good movies, Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St Louis, and Beaches.
on the 29th of June i waited 11 1/2 hours to see the midnight premier of Eclipse. now many people said that not only was i crazy but absolutely insane for waiting for it. but it was fun. i was supposed to go with some friends of mine, but they all bailed on me (one for a good reason, the other cause she was lazy and double booked herself), so sat outside for 7 hours waiting, then we got let into the cinema, waited a bit more and then we started with the first movie. we watched all three movies (Twilight, New Moon and finally Eclipse) and it was so good to see them all in order. and really interesting at the same time. when you do its really obvious that all of them have had different directors, and the visual effect on all are so different. the latest in the saga, has been the best so far. not just the acting (and the lack of Taylor Lautner's shirt), but the directing, cinematography, and editing. i know what people say that its all crap cause its from the books (believe me i've heard it all from my sister), but technically wise they are actually very good i mean, even twihards as they are commonly refereed to know the difference between a movie that has been made well and one that hasn't.
so anyway, the flirting, there was this guy at church who i had looked at before, but had pre- determined that he wasn't for me. then he started flirting with me, so i decided it would be fun to flirt back. now my stance with boys is i either have to really want them or they have to really want me. no dilly dallying, i'm happy single, so if they don't catch and keep my attention, i'm done and gone. and this is what happened with this guy (and he was way to religious for my liking anyway- nothing against it at all, i go to church and wear a purity ring, but he wouldn't go to a national parade with me because it was the day of rest... exactly), and he didn't keep my attention enough, he couldn't keep up with me. so i lost interest. we're still friends but thats it, nothing more.
and hiking, i had so much fun hiking. i went down to Sedona to do it all. i went to a place called West Fork and another called Sycamore Canyon. they were both really good! West Fork is so pretty and such a good walk, its not hard and you stop so often to look at all the scenery thats it not only takes a really long time, but it makes it really easy. and there is some old ruins of a old resort that used to be built there, and it so cool, to see it all and try and figure out where and what things were. Sycamore Canyon was easy on the way down but, hard on the way up. that was because on the way down was down hill and coming back was all uphill, and parts of it were steep!!! but it was so nice, we went cliff jumping and just swam and sunbaked. it was so nice, and then we hiked all the way back up. and our leader was hightailing it out of there! we went so fast, a little faster than what i would have liked, but at the end of it, we all felt so good.
we also went to a place called Midgly bridge. this was also like the Sycamore hike, on the way there was all down hill and the way back was all uphill. but it was so much fun! there is like a natural water slide there, its basically the locals Slide Rock for those who know Sedona. its so much fun, you hope in the creek at one point in the river and the water just takes you with it. the rocks are all really slippery so you go straight over the top of them. so. much. fun!
so i've been playing a lot, i recently got some more music (actual sheet music, not just chords from the internet) so i've been playing and practicing. i've kinda been writing too, but not so much. i really should get back into it cause i think i need to let some stuff out, but at the same time i have writer block and i can't write anything!! its really annoying. maybe i just need the right inspiration...
i've been babysitting as well. the biggest jobs i've done was two days for a friends of mine. she is a nurse so she works 12 hour shifts at the hospital. so i was at her house looking after her two boys (3 and 5) for 14 hours both days. i was pooped at the end of it!! the next day was the day i had my chill day, where i forgot about church. that was hard on the second day, both boys were being a little moody and me being tired, it was not a good mix. and anyone will know that when i get tired i get cranky and there were definitely several times when i was pulling my hair out trying not to get angry at the boys. the other job i did was for a family friends, it was a couple of hours again over 2 days cause parents had to be at work. this kid was so much fun! he is so funny and really smart. i mean, how many 7yo's could tell you exactly where to find 2 different restaurants? not many let me tell you. but i also got to play Wii Rockband. i love that game and my favourite thing to do is play the drums on it. and thankfully the 7yo wanted to sing so i was free to do the drums! yay! we had so much fun, and he is so easy to look after. it really made me realise how hard it is with the kids i normally look after. (their mum babied them and still kind of does, but its now causing all sorts of problems with them, they're good just difficult at times)
anyway, thats about all thats been happening.
i'll try and write more often. :)
Till next time
Katie
