Yesterday/Black And White


Okay.. well, I've written another song this week. This one's finished. And it's pretty good in my books- but that could be just because I love new material. :P

The entire song is with picking, it's slow, and my hand goes into a cramp when I play it on some tries. lol "No pain, no gain," I suppose.

Right off the bat I was just gonna call it Yesterday. But really, how could I compete with the Beatles? And when I think about it, there's probably tons of songs with that name. Along with Breathe, and anything to do with Rain. Which I, proudly, have not written such a song. ^-^ Well, at least not titled that. ;)

Any who, it's still in the decision process. It's either gonna be Yesterday, or I'm leaning more towards Black And White. See what you think..

******

I never thought that it could be like this

And I never thought that you could be like this

We were more than this, it used to seem

Lets pretend it's worth it, but honestly


It's so black and white

All the colors seem to fade to grey

I'm losing fight

for all we used to have yesterday


It's not okay

It's not okay

It's not okay

I'm not okay , it's not like it was yesterday.


Can't you see that all you were is left to me?

Can't you tell that all you do is for them, and not for you?

Why did you have to change for the worst?

Cause I don't know, I just don't know if it can be reversed


Your so black and white

All your colors seemed to fade to grey

I'm losing fight

for all we used to have yesterday


It's not okay

It's not okay

It's not okay

I'm not okay , it's not like it was yesterday.


You did say

you couldn't live without me

Then why do you try?

Why do you try so damn hard?


And now..


It's black and white

Cause all your colors seemed to fade to grey

Seems like were losing sight

of all we used to have yesterday


And that's not okay

It's not okay

That's not okay

I'm not okay, I'm not like I was yesterday.



*****



Oh, and you probably noticed that there was swearing in it once, again. Same with the last song I posted. Their both about the same person, the same circumstance. I guess it's what works me up. But, I don't think damn is much of a swear word anymore. I think it's the lightest one. I'm not even going to bother censoring it. lol

So that's all for tonight.
I'm very tired. And tomorrow's Halloween! I'll be staying up PRETTY late. :D

I is excited! =]

Type to you soon, more song lyrics and thoughts to come. :]

Rough lyrics


I meant to practice my set list for this gig I have on November 1st, but I ended up writing a song. Not surprising, I'm such a procrastinator and have a talent for finding something better to do. ;) Or at least, it always seems like it's better at the time.

These lyrics are really rough. Haven't edited them yet, I'll get to it soon enough. I just had this urge to post them, so here I am; and here they are:


Where did I leave you last?
Did I leave you in the past, did I?
Cause something here has changed
but I don't want to point my finger any which way
I feel like coming out
and I really just wanna talk about this
But tell me, tell me- is it really even worth it?

Cause if you ask me I'm fine
It's this illusion of mine
And all I wanted
was to see if we were
worth it, ever

It used to be so nice
we never even had one fight, you know
Now it's like pulling teeth
trying to get you to speak to me
And all those things you said
did you ever really even mean them?
Cause some things I did
but some things, I didn't.

Cause if you ask me I'm fine
It's this illusion of mine
And all I wanted
was to see if we were
worth it, ever

**Random catchy alternate chorus, or possible bridge below..

Because the s**t that you've done
is digging a hole
Sometimes its best to move on
or just let go

I don't know

But one things for sure
I'm losing hope.


And that's all folks.

xx Singing off - Karly oo

P.S.- First usage of a swear word in my writing. lol

Out of the doubt that fills my mind..


...

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you, yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find you and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find you and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find you and I collide

You finally find you and I collide
You finally find you and I collide

...

And so the Journey begins!


Today was quite an interesting, and different, day!

I GOT BRACES.

=0 AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Okay, okay, calm down. I did technically get braces, but their not your typical metal, brace face braces. Their "invisalign aligners." Their well, their invisible. I suppose the name speaks for itself. This morning, at precisely 9:45 AM, I tried on my first pair, and it went a little something like this...

^Putting in the bottom tray.


^Feeling them out, with the top tray in as well.


They felt SO weird. But I mean really, what do you expect? It is in fact putting a plastic mold that is slightly different then my teeth, on my teeth! That's got to feel weird. I have them in right now, and I'm getting used to it, but when I took them out before dinner (because your supposed to take them out every time you eat or drink anything that isn't water) it actually caused me pain. It really hurt man! I have to take them out again tonight, to brush my teeth, and sheesh! I hope it doesn't hurt as bad! :(

It should only get better though. It's just like when people go in to get their braces tightened. These are my first ones, their gonna be tight. They shouldn't be so bad by.. let's say Thursday. Give it two days.

I also got to watch this video of how they'll change over the next TWO YEARS, yes I know. That's a long time, but to me, time's been flying pretty fast lately. Months go back like *that,* so two years should be a breeze. ;)

-I'm trying to think positive about them okay! >_<

It'll be worth it though, because look at the supposed before and after pictures! =D


BEFORE
(the way they are now)


AFTER

Also as you can probably tell the before picture is pretty sketchy. It's way worse quality than the after, I actually paused the video and took a picture of it. All I had was the video!

But I think you get the idea.

It's pretty exciting I think. =) I won't know what to do with straight teeth though. They've been like this my whole life, with just gradually getting worse. That's the entire reason I felt like I had to get them fixed. If I didn't do something about them now, they'd just get worse. And trust me, they were. It wasn't pretty. But now, all I have to do is wait.. and endure the hassle and pain of having these weird plastic tooth coverings on 22 out of the 24 hours a day.

O_O

But it's all good! It'll all be worth it.. 2 years from now. O_o

lol.
Thanks mom and dad! I could have used them a little sooner..
but I'm glad I have them now. =]
I REALLY appreciate it. =D

And that's all for today folks!
Click on later. =]

-Karlial

P.S. - And so the journey to straight teeth begins! ^-^ It's gonna be a bumpy ride.. =P

Ongoing Epiphany


Hello there.

Well, this weekend was highly unproductive. Also highly uneventful. I can honestly say that the only things I did was I cleaned my room, did laundry, finished homework, sat around, watched a movie with my mum, played my guitar but didn't finish any set list of any kind or finish any songs, and I watched Sarah McLachlan's Afterglow Live DVD. Oh, and yesterday, while cleaning my room I watched Paramore's Final RIOT concert DVD.

And that is all. ._.

It sounds like a bit when I list it all off like that, but I didn't even leave the house. It's a little sad. Unless you count Friday as apart of the weekend. Cause then the only time I left the house was when we went to the SlipKnot concert, and to WhiteSpot before.

I always set aside the weekend's for cleaning and being productive with my music. The cleaning happens, just not the productive music part.. ._.

It doesn't sound good does it? No.

I always dwell on it too. It's quite a funny cycle I've got going. =P
I mean, I certainly don't do this every weekend, but lately, I feel like I've been in a bit of a rut. So to speak. I've been really.. tense. Like, I can't relax. It's kind of weird. I keep thinking about the future. Like, that's all I do these days. I guess, when I don't do something that's helping me with my future, I don't feel good..

It's weird.
I'm like, obsessed with it. Obsessed with not letting life pass me by. Which is ironic, because when I dwell on the future like that, that's exactly what I'm doing.

Buddha once said..

"The secret of health for body, mind and soul is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles. But to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."

And that's what I keep telling myself to start doing, but I think now, I just have to.. let it be. And maybe this is just my personality. Everyone has their quirks..

But I know, when I was younger of course, I never thought of the future. Well, I did, but I just didn't think of it like I do now. The way that I think of it now is, one day, I'll be 30. And then I'll be 50. And I'm more than halfway through my life. I just hope that when I'm more than halfway through my life I'll have accomplished something.

And that's what i keep trying to do right now.
Accomplish something. And not just with my music, but as a person.

I don't want it to go fast. And in those younger years, when I was 12, it wasn't going fast. But now, it feels like it is. I mean, I'm almost out of school, and that's kind of a scary thing to realize. Cause when you've graduated, that's a huge changing point in your life. Everything starts changing, rapidly I think.

I guess that's what's making me tense lately.
I'm just going through the in's and out's of everyday life, sometimes thinking there should be more. Especially when we only have so much time.

I mean, anything can happen.
And until then, we gotta live it up.

This is my on-going epiphany.

What? I've got to vent somewhere.

Singing off,
--K

Some things in life, you just have to experience.


There are some things in life you just have to experience.
From bad days, to things like, oh I don't know.. going to your first Heavy Metal concert. =P

If you didn't catch that hint, I'll just tell you.

Last night, believe it or not, I went to the SlipKnot concert at the SOFA. I'd like to say, I'm actually a hardcore SlipKnot fan, but in reality I only went because we got free box seats, and I've never been in a box seat. :-) But it really wasn't anything special.. except I got a coke without having to wait in line. There was our own private bathroom too, but I didn't even use it. =P It was cool though, going up the elevator instead of just entering the short stairs to the regular seating. And walking around up stairs until we got to our room. It certainly felt like the VIP experience. :] So I don't regret going.

And also, that isn't the only reason I don't regret going.
Cause again, "believe it or not" I'm not even lying, I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the concert.

I knew 3 songs, and I liked 4.
I respect the band. The performed very well! People were so surprised to here that I was going to see them, some said they were scary, crazy, I even got the word disturbing. But it wasn't like that at all. They were just a band (in weird costumes mind you) that played a set of their songs for a crowd of people who enjoy their music. It wasn't even to loud! Which I found weird for their type of band. As I can remember, Simple Plan was louder than them.

Walking into the concert was different, I'll admit. The crowd was much different than I'm used to. Compared to Sheryl Crow and Avril Lavigne the people were a lot older. =P And almost all of them wore black. And crazy.. jewelry, piercings, some even wore makeup to look like a band member. Have I mentioned that there are 9 guys in SlipKnot? Oh, and I never had to deal with a frisking at the door. Not that that really helped the smoke level. It's easy to smuggle things in. Just put it in your shoe. Not that I'm suggesting you do that. =P

It was a right of passage.
One of those life experiences. :-)

Didn't bring my camera, so I only have bad quality cell phone pictures. But some of the, surprisingly, turned out okay. Of course there's not close up's, but you can get the gist of it.


I thought this one was cool. I was shocked to hear them do a slow song, but pleasantly surprised, because it was good. Oh, and everyone waved their lighters in the air.. Cause everyone had lighters. lol

The frontman had an interesting stage presence. Kind of creepy. =P

I think this picture looks creepy. Everyone's just standing still looking at this giant bright light. O_O Almost Zombie like..

During one of those bright light moments, I was able to take a photo of my family. That's my dad (who is the reason we went), my brother, and my mom. :)


And that's all of the photo's I took.
Or at least all of the ones that you could tell what they were. =P

It's the day after the concert, and I'm not doing much today. Still trying to shake this cold I've had for almost 2 weeks now. (You can still hear it in my voice) So no recording, but I better practice and get ready for when I can. Which is probably next weekend. Also need to put together a set list for the Acoustic Night on Wednesday.. and find someone to take with me.

OH! And I'm getting invisalign Tuesday morning. O_o
I'm diving right into extreme adolescence. I have to get elastics with them, which will make it difficult to take them out. WHICH IS EVERY TIME I EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING THAT ISN'T WATER. O_O For the next 2 years. How fun will that be?! ha ha ha. ._.
But, it's worth it. It'll be nice to have straight teeth for once. And this is the perfect time to get them, I'm still a dorky teenager in high school so it's all good. They'll be off a little after I'm out of school. Sounds pre' good to me!

So, that's all.
Gotta do homework, update my website, figure out set list, and practice.

Signing off
xx Karly.

Lost Lyrics


*Snippets of Lyrics I've written that I don't want to forget:

1)

I wake up, put on my converse shoes.
Can't remember the last time I got to choose
And you'll make up everything you want about her
like she doesn't even try.

In this life, it isn't getting any longer.
And I'll try not to remember what it's like to fall flat on my face,
& start again.. again..


2)

I'm fine, I am good.
What's up? Not much.
It's so vague, were misunderstood.

...


Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Maybe I'll just sing about it.


But my god, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles.

Wanna hold him, but maybe I'll just sing about it.

.... <3


Tuesday, October 13, 2009

And just to let you know, I still get nervous. >_<


The weather's really starting to match my blog design now. =P
It's starting to feel a lot like winter. I'd say fall, but it feels like it's skipping over that season and heading straight for really cold. Winter cold. BRR. >.<

I don't mind it though.
I think it's almost warmer during the winter months.

-I know what your thinking- "SAY WHA??"
Makes absolutely no sense.

What I mean is, the winter months almost seem warmer because were all bundled up all the time, in nice warm sweaters, sitting by a fire, drinking hot chocolate and.. hugging more often. =P lol It's just a warmer atmosphere. More jolly, and peaceful.


I think I'm referring to Christmas more than anything now. lol
I just love it so much. =] For all those reasons listed above. It's just so darn happy, and comforting! ^-^ ... And the presents and food don't hurt either. ;)










Also, it's so.. child like.. and magical almost.
It's hard to describe actually, but I'm sure you know the feeling too. Unless you don't celebrate Christmas.. lol. In that case, I'm sorry for going on about how wonderful it is. But hey, this is my blog. I'm just expressing my own, personal thoughts and feelings. Christmas just happens to be one of them. =)

ANYWAY,
Christmas is in about 2 months, so I won't get to hyped up for it yet. Right now, I ought to get hyped up about Halloween, and my "Sweet 16!" =o oo la la!

As for the immediate future, there's the Coffee House Musical at school. Or the Acoustic Music Night.. or something that their calling it this year. I said I'd do it again, so I think I'm gonna audition on Thursday. Can't decide what song to do yet though. I'm kind of annoyed with my Set List. So many of the songs are SO OLD to me. Maybe not to you, and certainly not for the majority of people, but for me, years old. It's crazy actually. I'm going to be recording a lot of them. Which could be freakishly boring for me, or it could bring them back alive and give them a new spin. (Cause they'll be produced). Well, we'll see.

I can now play "My Heart" by Paramore.
Which is AWESOME because Paramore is my favorite band. :D (Gotta love how the same word lined up perfectly like that *shutter*).





















I'm also working on "Where the Lines Overlap." I can play it, but today I was a little rusty.

I think incorporating covers into my rotation will help with my personal entertainment factor. Also, bring good, old songs that I've written back into my Set List. (Which I'm currently in the process of working on).

That's what I'm doing right now:

-Working on songs to put into my Set List (covers, old songs, practice current).
-Producing and recording my 1st full album.
-Keeping up with school, trying not to fall to far behind..

Yeah, I guess those are the main things I'm doing.
Other than the odd gig or performance. Like the school thingy.

And just to let you know,
I still get nervous. >_<

Being productive on Thanksgiving! ^_^



Allow me to cut to the chase by saying right off the bat,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! =) gobble gobble.
Cause we all know what that means. Time fo' TURKEY! =P

My mothar made an excellent meal. Absolutely delicious I'd say! And it better be delicious because we all know were getting leftovers for a good week and a 1/2. lol :P

Today, I watched a movie. "Observe and Report" with my mum and my brother (partly). He never stays for anything on TV. lol It was ridiculous, weird, strange, awkward, but very funny! I mean cummon, Seth Rogen was in it! It's gotta be awesome!

So, other than that I worked on my music.
Which is what I had planned. I'd say it was quite productive. I think THIS TIME I may have finally finished Rewind. Which is extremely exciting. :] This is the 4th try. I think it's the most elaborate production I've done on a song so far. I experimented with a lot of different things, and I think this time, it might actually be complete.

maybe. we'll see. =P

I'm also done producing Push as well. Push is the opposite, it's the most simple production I've done on a song. Which makes sense, cause to me Rewind is a more powerful, strong song, and Push is lighthearted and fun. So I think I produced them right. ^_^ *accomplished face*

Ahh, nothing like getting something you love done.
I think enjoying being productive, I mean, really enjoying it, is part of my family gene. My dad's side. lol Sometimes I feel bad if I didn't do something at least mildly productive in a day. Something's gotta get done!

So today, I'm feeling pretay grand. =)
I've got a belly full of turkey and goodies, I made some headway on my album. WHICH I'M SOO STOKED FOR. I even started a Journal (sorry blog, but somethings have to be done with paper and pen) for writing down my journey of my 1st record. Like, today I wrote down the lyrics for You'll Never Know. It's #1 in the book, because it's the first one finished for the album. That's the order they'll be in. I wrote info on what instruments were used in it, I talked about when I wrote it, when I recorded it, what it's about. It goes into pretty good detail of the songs. Down to the nitty-gritty.

It'll be cool to look back one day.
Recording your very first album is a coming of age type of thing. Especially when your 15 and producing all of the songs on your own. I mean, right now, I play guitar, piano, bass, strings, and I program in the drums and beats. =P Okay, just so you don't think I actually play all of those instruments, I use Garageband, so besides guitar and drums, all the instruments are played by me on my keyboard. I can make my keyboard sound like anything. I could have a dog barking in one of my songs if I felt like it.

And please don't suggest that. =P
I don't think I could find a proper place for it. lol

So yeah, sounds like a lot of work. But I love it. I can be in my room four 7 hours straight (sometimes I am) working on a song. Get it done in a few days. My minimum is 2, and my max. well, a long time. Cause I usually think I'm done at 3, and then think about it for like 2 weeks, contemplating new ideas and sounds. =P

Now since that process is done for Rewind, I think it is finished! =D

THEN, there's going downstairs with my dad and recording the vocals, and the harmony's. He mixes it, and puts it into ProTools, works his magic on finding the best takes of every single vocal track we recorded, which surprisingly doesn't take him as long as you'd think. Anyway, that's the final step in making a song. Well, that's how we do it anyway..

I like our way though.
So far, it's working quite well. And I'm really enjoying the process.
Which is one of the reasons why I made that journal. The other reason is I had a hardly ever used Journal laying around, so I decided to make use of it. =]

And there we are.
My thought process of the day.

Until next time on the ... Daily Life of that girl named Karly (with a K). =P

Singing off,
K.

Swine, spiders, death, Zombieland, and vote for your favorite hippy costume of mine! :D


It's a Saturday morning- scratch that.

*Ahem*

It's Saturday afternoon, the sky is beginning to emerge from the clouds and my cat seems to be waking up. Slowly but surely.

Haven't blogged in a little while, for you see, I have been sick for the past 4 days. It wasn't to pleasant. Actually, to be more accurate it was very unpleasant. I didn't have the swine flu, which I'm thankful for, apparently 17 people in the U.S. have died from it. Most of which, were young. O_O I'm scared. I HATE needles, I can't stress that to you enough. But I'm so scared of catching the swine flu and dying from it that I'd be happy to get in line and get shot up with the vaccine. Apparently, there hasn't been any side effects, nothing's gone wrong. They say it's shame how many lives could be saved by just getting this simple vaccination.

I mean, yeah, I am deathly afraid of needles, but I'm more deathly afraid of death. lol

That's the one thing I am scared of the most. I find it funny when people say the most terrifying thing to them is a spider. A spider? Sure, there gross and I wouldn't go up to one and pet it, but I value life so much that when there's a spider in my house (and there were a lot around a while ago) I catch it in a cup and take it outside. I've never killed a spider. I don't think it's right. Just because it's small and insignificant to you, doesn't give you the right to end it's life. I would just feel bad about myself if I went around murdering helpless spiders, cause that's what it is, when you get right down to it.

Poor things. Now I pity them.

Anyway, out of all the fears, death is the biggest.
It's probably everyone's, but a lot of people don't like to think about it, which I understand.

ANYWAY,
let's get off this morbid topic I've got us into. =P

What's in store for today? Well, let's see..
My room is an absolute disaster, so hopefully I can find it in me to make some sense of it everything on the floor. And throw out all my "snot rags" as my mum likes to refer to them as. lol, I was sick okay! I'm only speaking the truth. Maybe I'll skip the gory details.. =P
After that's sorted out, I'll feel better. I always feel mentally cleared and refreshed when my room is clean. Is that weird? I don't think so, I think it makes sense. If my room's a mess, I feel messy. It's works in that order. I don't think I can switch it to the other way around. lol

ANYWAY, wow, I'm really good at getting off topic today!

So anyway, clean up my room, and then hopefully work on some producing. Or something musical, be productive. If I do end up going on a roll, that should take me to dinner. And after dinner were going out to the movies! :) Seeing Zombieland with my friends and my mum, because it's rated 18A. lol But it's all good, my mom's cool like that. =P And so are my friends!

So, it should be grand!
I'm quite looking forward to it. ^-^

Before I sign off, I gotta show you what I did last night. =P
Get ready for this..

I'm being a hippy for Halloween, so I decided to raid my closet and try to find some options. Well, I found more than four, took pictures of some, so here are the contestants:

#1

#2

#3

LOL ^-^ I hope you enjoyed that! The last one ^ cracks me up! I went all out on that one.
So, if you want, lemme know which one is your favorite by leaving a comment on this entry. I'm curious. My personal vote is #2 I think. I think it looks the most hippy-ish. Then again, I think they all do. That's one thing I realized during this process. I own a lot of hippy clothes. =P I think I'm secretly one. So shh.

That's all for today!
Type to you soon, and don't forget to "vote." lol
Maybe I'll start making more of my entry's more "interactive." hmm..

Well, I'm off!
<3>

The longest effing note I've ever written on facebook.


The longest effing note I've ever written on facebook.


Who's the last person you thought was extremely cute?
Why on earth would I tell everyone on Facebook that? O_O

Did you see a boy today that made you smile?
Technically yes. Lots of people make me smile. :) It's not hard to do.

What is today's date?
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009.

Are you ready to get out of this town?
no. ._. I like this town.

Who were the last people you rode in a car with?
Just my mum, driving to school. Chase took the early bus.

What are you doing tomorrow?
Well, I'm probably staying home from school, CAUSE I GOT SWINE. Yeah, that's right people. ... Actually, I don't think I have swine. I'm just a teenager, and teenagers tend to exaggerate things sometimes.

Are you the oldest of your siblings?
No. My brothers older, by a year and 9 months.

Have you ever read an entire book in one day?
God no. I'm slow at everything I do.

Does anyone know your password besides you?
Again, GOD NO. I'm secretive.. shhhh.

Do you look at the keyboard when you type?
I give it the occasional glance.

Did you have a good day yesterday?
Hmm.. let me review.. God, I have horrible short term memory. x_x Uhh.. I think it was quite decent. Some good things happened if I remember correctly.

Will you talk to the person you like tonight?
Nope. Not in person anyway.

What is your current mood?
Right this moment? Kind of crabby cause I'm so sick now, and a bit lonely to be completely honest with you.

What color shirt are you wearing?
*Looks down* Brown. is that bad? lol

What are you looking forward to in the next three months?
Oh man, uhh, hopefully making up with someone I haven't talked to in 2 months (tear), Halloween with my ex neighbor, My 16th Birthday! =O, and Tisha and Melody coming out for Christmas and making my life. :]

What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Being a nasty sick person.

Did you have an exciting weekend?
*Thinking back* Your really testing my memory here! Uhm, I think it was pre' good. Kind of quite though, not a lot happened I don't think. I did go out for Breakfast with my family though. ^-^

Have you ever crawled through a window?
HAHA YEAH. When me and Tisha were trying to be all stealth and scare the boys. But we failed epicly. =P

Whens the last time you wore the opposite sex's clothing? whos was it?
Uhhh, I have no clue. The only time I can remember was when everyone tried on my dad's old leather jacket.

Do you miss anyone?
mhm.

Have you held hands with anyone lately?
Hmm.. well there was the Music Department's Ice Breaker where we played this game and you had to link hands etc. etc.. But a more vivid memory is when we were taking Brianna to the airport, and me and Tisha held hands because that's just so taboo. :P But apparently their big on it in Calgary, lol.

Ever had a near death experience?
No. But my life would be so much more intriguing if I did.

Something you do a lot?
Blog. and over think things.

Angry at anyone?
Yes, but I'm more understanding now.

Who would you do anything for?
My family, and my friends that mean a lot to me.

What's your biggest secret?
To be completely honest with you, I don't think I have a lot of very big secrets. I haven't done a lot of things that I really regret.

Have you ever kissed in the rain?
uh uh. But I've frolicked! :)

What are you thinking about right now?
How beautiful the moon is tonight.

Who was the last person you yelled at?
Hmm, maybe my brother.. or Grant. But just jokingly of course.

Whats the first thing you notice on the opposite sex?
Their eyes, the way they act. Maybe their hair too.

When is the last time you showered?
Yesterday?

What were you doing at 4am this morning?
What do you think?! I was obviously playing Pokemon.. GOD. =P

What does the 27th text in your inbox say?
"Ha ha were you scared?" from Feath.

Is your best friend in love?
You know, I'm not really sure if I have one definitive "best friend." But just thinking about my best friends, (that's plural) I'd say none of them are in love. I mean were only like, 15! Some of my friends I'm referring to are even younger than that.

What would it take for you to be completely miserable right now?
Worst case scenario? Someone I love dies. Realistically? I never make up with one of my best friends.

At this moment in time, do you wish you could trade places with someone?
no. I like who I am. If I didn't I would change.

Something you really want right now?
I've mentioned this like, 2 times already, but I want my good old friend back.

Do you think you've changed over the past year?
I think I've realized a few things. But I'm still just Karly. =)

Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
No. definitely not. What reason is there for an innocent person being murdered? Or a young child being abused? People like to think there are reasons, it makes them feel better about the horrible thing happening. Like at least something good came out of the bad. But sometimes there just isn't a reason good enough to compensate.

what are you are listening to right now?
The quite muffled sound of my mum's nail class downstairs and my own typing of this sentence.

Are you scared of losing the person you love, to someone else?
I was going to type no to this question. But then I got thinking.. I should stop doing that.

Anything you would change about your life right now?
Yes.

What is your current mood?
You already asked that!

Last time you laughed really hard?
Today, at lunch about something someone said in our hallway. =)

Who was the last person to write on your wall?
Grant, asking me my opinion about "I Gotta Feeling."

Do you think you will be in a relationship three months from now?
1st answer: I doubt it. But who knows, anything could happen. 2nd answer: I'M MARRIED TO HEATHER JACKSON, have been for almost a year I think! =o :D

Do you get distracted easily?
According to a few people, yes. =P

Are you mad at anyone?
Hey.. you asked this question before too! What are you trying to pull?!

Do you listen to your friend's advice when they give it to you?
If I think their right. ;) lol, Yes I value my friends opinions, and their good at helping me through things. =)

Who did you last draw something for?
=o... HMM.... I don't draw very often at all, so this one is tricky. Can I pass?

Who was the last boy you talked to ? Do you hate them?
If were counting Facebook Chat, then the last boy I talked to was Carl. But, I'm going to bend the rules a bit because I have to mention David Buckley in this note because he is AWESOME. ;) So I talked to him just before I chatted with Carl. There you go David. Please don't run off and commit suicide.

Are you talkative?
Straight up: yes.

Do you have someone of the opposite sex you can tell everything to?
Almost everything.. yeah, actually yes.

Do you have a best friend?
As I said before, not one definitive "best friend", I have a few.

How many people do you truly trust?
9

Who was your last hug from?
Kyle! :) Even though I warned him I was sick. =P

Is there someone you don't ever want to be out of your life?
Yes. Think of how disloyal of a friend I would be if I said no! lol

Is it hard for you to get over someone?
I would say so. I'm not the kind of person to just forget about them and move on

Will this weekend be a good one?
It should! :] Seeing Zombieland with Grant and Feath. =) Look at me, with plans for the weekend. (I hardly make plans that far in advance. =P)

How late did you stay up last night and why?
Around 11:30 I think. Cause I'm weird. lol

Do you have curly hair?
Naturally yes. But the longer it gets, the wavier it gets. So I have it pretty long!

What should you be doing right now?
Laying in bed with a tissue box, hot chocolate, a handful of lozenges watching.. I don't know.. whatever's on TV at 9:50 PM.

When is your birthday?
November 17th, 1993

Did you see the movie twilight?
=O I can't believe that's a question! Who made this Q:A?! And to actually answer it, HECK YES I DID, I FREAKING LOVE TWILIGHT HARDCORE.

Is there a high chance of you going out to the movies soon?
I already told you, this weekend, it's Zombieland! ^-^

If you had $10 would you spend or save it?
