Things

I don't really know what to title this blog, so I just put things, because basically that's what this is about.

School's been getting tougher, and I'm not really sure what to do. I don't want to talk to anyone about my problems and while I think I should, I just won't. I'm really shy, and I hate asking for help.

Anyway, here are a few random things that may or may not be interesting to the general public about myself.

• I was going to be named Henry or Hank if I was a boy. Ew.
• I was named Kara because my mom's cousin never had a girl, and she wanted one really bad, and was actually going to name her Kara.
• My middle name, Dianne, comes from my aunt, who's middle name is also Dianne. 
• My mom and dad are not married, but I turned out fine. They live together.
• I used to be addicted to online Poker, and in one day made 100k chips. I was good. But it was illegal.
• I was one of only 3 Democrats at my school, so when it came to election time I would keep my mouth shut about who I wanted to win, so that I wouldn't get picked on.
• Sometimes I wonder if things will eventually get easier for me.
• Sometimes I wonder if Unicorns were ever really real.
• I also wonder what would happen if DC superheroes were real.
• I work out because if, for some reason, I was ever transported to an alternate reality where Mortal Kombat was real, I knew I would be dead first.
• JK I don't work out.
• I was born on 9/9/93, but was supposed to be born on 9/19/93. My mom was born on 1/19/63, and my dad on 5/19/54. That means we'd all be 5 months apart. XD
• I have only had one crush on a guy that was severely out of my league. His name was Trent and it was in the 4th-5th grade. He's still freaking cute.
• I have once yelled at my cat "NO KITTY, THAT'S MY POT PIE. Just so I could have said that I made a reference to South Park.
• Everything interesting I have ever done has already been done by The Simpsons
• That is all for now

Hope you enjoyed these random facts about me. 

Breaking Up Sucks.

Right now I'm sitting in some lounge and typing this, while someone across from me is on her computer, too. We're probably both on Facebook or something.
There's so much going on this weekend and I'm going home. Great. Lol I really would like to do something, make some friends, but the school schedules things whenever I go home. So unfair. Lol

Anyway, I heard of this website a long time ago that would dump people if you pay this guy 10 dollars. Then, I decided to look it up yesterday and found the website and then found out that they actually record the calls! If you wanna dump someone or break up with someone go to this website right here:

Enjoy the recordings.

Vote for Kara

I've been thinking a lot about presidential debates and I have came up with a few reasons why people should  vote for me, and not the other guys. Here they are:

• I'm not a politician. 
• I don't have a lot of money.
• I want people who are wealthy to stay wealthy, but I also want people who are poor to be in a better condition than where they are now.
• This relates to bullet point one, but, since I am not a politician, and I am not wealthy, that means I can better relate to our country as a whole. 
• I want what's best for the country, and I would do what it takes to create more jobs, etc. 
• I would let companies create new sources of energy, rather than hold them back from helping the American people save money.
• This point above would help create jobs. ;D
• I wouldn't avoid certain topics, and I would be prepared for speeches, though I do have a horrible stage freight. 

There are several more points that I can't think of, but I can guarantee that if you vote for me, I will make our world a better place. So, when you cast your ballets, vote for Kara, and not the other guys.

This is Kara Skillz and I approve this message.

Terrible at Blogging

Like I said on my other website, I'm terrible at blogging. I forget to get on, and I don't really post every day, much less every month :\
Anyway, here's what I've been up to, and other various things:

1. Moved in with my aunt and uncle, and I have my own room. I got it painted and decorated and everything. Now I just need a desk o-o
2. Has now started college at UTA. It's a huge school, but it's really quite beautiful.
3. Levi's not been the best friend I thought he was.
4. His friend, despite what he thinks, is rather rude, and he doesn't think. I may or may not make a post about his tactlessness later.
5. I don't really have any friends here yet, but it's not like I haven't tried. All in good time, however.
6. Today, I have taken to twitter, and have posted...a lot. I haven't before, but maybe I'll get followers? *wink wink*
7. Still trying to write a book. It's not working.
8. I'm passing all of my classes. Even STATISTICS.
9. I have this new shirt my friend got me. It says "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr." SO FREAKIN CUTE. <3
10. Finally, I watched one of the FREAKIEST movies yesterday. Okay, two of the freakiest movies. One was called Lovely Molly, and the other... Um, I'm not sure. I'll update this later and tell you what it is, but they're both on netflix under Supernatural Horror. Very weird, very odd.

Ta-ta for now :)



P.s. Lost my camera. It makes me sad.

I didn't want the only blog I posted today to be negative, so I decided to post another. This could be a borderline obsessive blogger thing to do, but whatever. I like to write. I might even be a compulsive sharer. Oh well, more for you to ogle at, hm? Haha.

Anyway, I do love my life when my mom isn't being so rude to me. She can be nice sometimes, you know. Everyone has their good and bad sides. Except Mother Teressa. She was the epitome of sainthood. Anyway, I do love my mom and my dad, though I do do a lot for them and sometimes they don't seem to notice.

One of the things to get my mind off of the bad things that happen is writing, or music. Obviously, since I put the music I'm listening to as I WRITE this.


Speaking of writing, I had the most epically freaky dream ever the other night. I won't go into gruesome detail (unless someone was to comment and ask), but it was pretty gross. Lots of blood and guts and gore. It was so weird, that I just might in fact try to make a novel out of it.

Anyway, here are some of my blessings I should be counting every day, ones I thought of when I made this blog will be in the same font as this. Every day after this, the fonts will change as I think of them. Here they are, not in any particular order except for maybe the first 10:

1. I'm alive
2. My family
3. Friends
4. Will
5. The fact I have an education, and am continuing to further myself
6. I have food every day, not every other day or once a week like some people in the world
7. I have clean water
8. There is clean air where I live (for the most part)
9. I live in the country
10. I do not live in poverty, though we do sometimes struggle to get by
11. I respect money
12. I have opportunities
13. I have freedoms not given in any other country in the world
14. I have people who love me
15. I am NOT a psychopathic killer (Hey, it might sound silly, but I wouldn't want to be one)

There've been a lot of things that I've done that I'm not proud of, but at least I admit it. However, some people walk around like they're the best thing since sliced bread, and their holier-than-thou mindset drives me crazy.
I don't go to church, but at least I'm knowledgeable in the Bible. Most people at my school can quote verses, unlike myself, but the meaning of these verses go unnoticed, and are there only for throwing at people who call them un-Christian. At least I know what the meaning of the words are - at least I believe I do. The Bible, of course, can be taken to mean many different ways, but one thing I know that it's clear on is that making a spectacle of praying - like praying *loudly* in public, or shouting out prayers, etc, holds no meaning to God.  In fact, if this is done, it's more than likely that the person that's doing this ISN'T a true Christian. More than likely, these people pretend to be something their not because they can't be themselves, because they're ashamed. But that's just what I think.
I know this blog post is probably unfavorable, but this is for my thoughts and feelings, not necessarily to keep the readers happy, and if someone was to comment on this post to call me something derogatory, I probably wouldn't comment, and it wouldn't be deleted because it's their opinion of me, and who am I to hinder their thoughts?

Any who.. I'll be signing off now, but here's a pretty picture for you!

I'm supposed to be in my Math class, but we didn't really have anything else to do, so I decided to get on the computer and write. However, it's getting a little late into the period, so, I don't have a lot of time.

But, there's a few things I have on my mind, and I was wanting to share these with other people who are in a relationship - long term or otherwise (except for maybe just FWB's) that people should think about before they move on with their relationship.

You should already know about their goals, their likes and dislikes, (or learning them) that he or texts at 2 in the morning just to say goodnight/I love you, etc, but you may still feel a little insecure. Here are some questions I have had, and here are some of my thoughts:

• Is he or she who she really says she is?  Their friends that they keep, and the activities that they do throughout the day is usually a good way to see if someone is who they pretend to be - a nice person may volunteer, while a closed-off person may work all the time.

• Is he or she true to you?  Well, don't jump to conclusions in any situation. The best thing to do is be sure in yourself. If you're confident in your relationship with your significan other, the better your relationship will be. If he or she looks at an attractive person, don't get discouraged. It's okay to just look.

• Are they not giving you enough attention? Once again, don't get discouraged. They could be busy at work or busy with school, perhaps both. The best thing you can do is be there for them during the time, and when they finally have free time, go out, do something with your spouce! It'll show them that you can stick with them through tough times.

• Do they text other people when they're around you?  Obviously, if they're texting other people when they're around you, it must not be too bad, right? They're not hiding anything, so it's not bad. If you feel like they ARE hiding something, however, just say "Hey, can I look at your phone?" But, don't just say that, say "You can look through mine, too, if you want." It shows that you're curious, but if neither of you have nothing to hide, then everything should be alright.

That's all for now. If any of y'all have any questions about relationships, or anything else, I'd be happy to help. Just leave a comment or whatever and I'll get back to you in my next blog.
This is KaraDianne signing off, and wishing everyone a good day.

Best Class Period Ever

Everyone hates fitness grams. I know I do. There's nothing more degrading, whether you're bigger or smaller, than doing one measly push up next to someone who can do 20 or more. Well, some students were absent yesterday, thinking that they could skip it and not have to do it again and it'd be over with. Think again, my peers. There were two Pentecostal girls who had to do it today, along with an underclassman boy. The Pentecostal girls didn't think they would have to because of the fact that they're in skirts. It would be weird to have someone doing push ups behind you and see up their skirt, so they had to do it today. The girls and the boy had to be separated. The conversation went like this between him and the Coach hosting the fitness gram, which is (amazing) to say the least.


Boy: Where should I go? *The coach points to the concession area of the gym, where there is a wall separating the gym from the "room"
Coach: Get behind the wall and I'll do ya'.  (Wait, it gets better)

Later in class, two other girls who were in there came back and told the story. Sure enough, everyone was laughing. The unsuspecting boy comes in a few minutes later, to which a fellow student says:

Girl: Hey, get behind that wall and I'll do ya. (class laughs)
Teacher: So, what all did the coach say to you?
Boy: Oh, not much. Just thank you.

Everyone died laughing. No joke. The classroom broke out, and some people were even crying cause they were laughing so hard.

This might be one of those "you had to be there moments" but, you know, I just had to share this, and I hope you liked it.

I'm signing off, but I hope you all have an amazing day. :)

Lies Make Friends

Song: Riot by Three Days Grace
Time: 2:03
Mood: P.O'd


I'm in my Yearbook class, not really working on Yearbook obviously. It's opened in a different tab, but I'm not really paying much attention to it. I'm the editor, I have a role to fulfill, and I need to get my act together, but it's hard to talk about when your best friend since 3rd grade is being...naive.

I wrote her a note last week saying that her boyfriend may or may not be what he says he is. I chose the note format because I cannot really express my feelings well through words, and I didn't want anyone else around to hear about his potential lies. She further ignored me for the rest of the day. I was expecting SOME anger, but not enough to not talk to me for a whole week. She didn't say a thing at all.

However, she kept coming to school with her boyfriend's jacket, so I guessed that she didn't confront him - that or she had and found that he was innocent of the crimes that SOMEONE had said he had done. These, in case you're wondering, include, but are not limited to:

• Having a different last name
• Telling one of my friend's friends that he hated her laugh
• Having a one-year-old kid
• Being a complete and utter perv.
• Is not the age he said he is

But the girls I had heard this from insisted that everything was true. My boyfriend even knew the dude and said he definitely wasn't the age he said he his. Also, my boyfriend said that the guy is manipulative, which I'm afraid is happening here - that he's manipulating my best friend. It could be true, but anyway, back to the story...

I got to school today, and was still given the cold shoulder. Not a word, not even when she sneezed and I said bless you. Anyway, I wrote a note to my other friend, who said that her sister told her not to talk to me until I APOLOGIZED. Me? Apologize? Haha. No. Not going to happen. I told wrote that friend #1 could shove it up her butt before I did. Really, it was stupid. I was trying to be a good friend, and I even told her IN THE NOTE that I was not completely sure of the statements given to me, and that It may or may not be true. I said that. I don't deserve the silent treatment for trying to be a good friend, and I don't have to apologize for it either.

My friend told us to sit down and talk it out. We did. She sat there, mostly staring off into space, not really saying a word. She only said that she didn't talk to me because she "had nothing to say". She also said that she looked up the guy on FB, saying that it wasn't her boyfriend, and that he didn't have a "tattoo" like the guy in the picture. I found out later that she had lied. After our talk, she acted like everything was OK again.

Pft. Right. She can get herself hurt, but I warned her. I'll even be a good friend and not tell her "I told you so" when that time comes.

I'm signing off and hope you all have an amazing day. :) Here's a pretty picture from my other blog, theartinourhearts.blogspot.com to brighten your day:

Reviews & Stuff

Hola, readers. Ha. I guess I really shouldn't say that because there's only been about 3 views on my blog. Frankly, I don't blame anyone for passing it up, and saying that my previous (and first) blog was a complete bore, since it was.

But today, I'd like to discuss a few movies, songs, and some books I have recently come across and share them with you.
First of all, there's the Wrath of the Titans. Oh. My. Gosh. It was so good! It has been, probably, one of the best movies I have seen in 3D, and I hate 3D! The cinematography was amazing, and so was the CG. When you have those 3D glasses on in the theatre, there are actually times when you freak out because something random comes at your face! That's pretty exciting because now-a-days, there is rarely ever that rogue peice of material that comes flying at you.



Anyway, Wrath of the Titans is a sequal to Clash of the Titans. The story followers Purseus, now with a son, and his wife passed away, is commissioned by his father to help him beat Hades, who is trying to raise Kronos, and gain immortality. He refuses, but eventually decides to after an *epic* fight scene between him and, what appears to be, a Chimera. Everything after this point, just gets completely awesome. I highly reccommend this movie to anyone who has seen and liked Clash of the Titans and the Immortals.

Books -
The Immortal Instruments series(is a very good story if you like vampires, werewolves, and all those other sort of creatures. I suggest that you Google it if you're interested. However, do NOT read the plot. There are spoilers!
The Immortal Series is good if you like a good romance. There are also vampires in this one, but don't worry, like in the II, they do not sparkle.
Maximum Ride Series is always good if you like a sci-fi type of book. I'm sure most of you have heard of it, but if you haven't read it, then, I suggest you do. This series will keep you on the edge of your chair and wondering what would happen next.

As for songs, there has been so many on the radio, that I just can't keep up with them anymore. So, instead of saying how one or two songs are epic, here are a list of my likes and dislikes.

Likes -

• We are Young - Fun.
• Somebody I Used to Know - Gotye ft. Kimba
• Turn Me On - David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj
• Set Fire to the Rain - Adele
• Part of Me - Katy Perry
• What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction*

* note, I do not like these kinds of bands. However, I do like this song due to the simple fact that the meaning of the song can touch home to all the girls out there!

Dislikes -

• Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
• Starships - Nicki Minaj
• Dance - Big Sean

I dislike these songs because of the sheer fact that they are, in my opinion, horrible. Call Me Maybe because it's repetitive. My boyfriend, however, loves this song. It kind of creeps me out. Ha.

Starships because of the fact that...well, the song kind of speaks for itself.

Dance? Because of the fact it's all about butts. No good music here. Not at all. Besides, when you listen to it on the radio, its like every other word is a bleep. Also, Nicki Minaj's part is, needless to say, gross.

Song I'm not sure about - 

• Boyfriend - Justin Beiber

I dislike Justin Beiber as much as everyone else on the internet does, but this song shows that he's gone through puberty, at the ripe age of 18. Took him long enough, huh?

That about wraps up my blog for now. I hope you enjoyed it. XD

Do Better

Right now, I'm listening to Do Better by Say Anything, courtesy of Pandora. It kind of made me feel better after the reviews I just read.  I just got my UIL results, and needless to say, I am not happy with them. For those of you who do not know what UIL is, well, it's United Interschoolastic League (I'm pretty sure that's what it is), and it's a huge deal in Texas, if it's not in your states too, and I love doing it. I participate in a lot of events every year, and sometimes get placed in others just because!
Well, my favorite thing to do is write, and those are the main events that I do - News, Feature, and Editorial Writing is what I participate in. I also compete in Computer Applications (which is using Word, Access, and Excel; if you have a BCIS class, you know what I'm referring to). Anyhow, I usually place in more than one event, and, this year, I placed in only one - one that I got in just this year! You would think that I would have placed in any of the writing ones, or the Computer, but no. I placed in Literary Criticism. I'm not complaining that I did, I'm just upset that I didn't in my writing events.
After finding out my results a few months ago, I was disappointed enough. Then, to rub it in, I got the actual writings I did, and the teachers' supposed constructive criticism. One featured a statement saying "You need to work on the editorial format and take a stronger stance." This is fine. This kind of criticism is perfect for me. Then, reading further, she (I'm assuming it is a she, as the writing is curly and feminine), said my stance was very passive, and my solution to the problem in the prompt was too passive as well. It's an Editorial Writing! You cannot go out and say "Hey, screw your statement, I do what I want!" My writing was "elegant" and well thought-out. It wasn't brash or harsh. I try to keep it neat.
Then, reading from the same paper, she said "Where did this come from?" This really doesn't make sense to you, the reader, because you haven't seen the prompt. The most I can tell you, without being even more long-winded than I already have been is that (clearly) in the prompt I was given to write from there was something about the marching band wanting new uniforms, and I used that in my writing. However, the grader, must have not read the prompt thoroughly. All in all, this was disappointing enough, and to read my other competitive entry (also graded by the same person), said the same thing about another statement I said in my paper. How can you grade something when you haven't even read the prompt?
People like this annoy me so much! And, I'm sorry to who ever may read this as it could be seen as tl;dr, but I had to get this off my chest. Anyway, more to be written later.

Hope you all are having an amazing day. :)
