Popular? And Friend Recognition.

Why is it that so many things end up being popular. Blogging, vlogging, texting, et cetera et cetera. And then the people who are a part of that network end up getting popular, along with it. I have no problem with this, of course, because that is the way social networks and things like this work. In so many popular blogs that I read or Vloggs that I watch the people say "I didn't mean to get popular. It just sorta happened." Although, in the beginning, I'm sure that was true, they were just writing because the were bored or because they had nothing better to do, but in the end, we all strive to be popular or have an audience. Even I, sometimes, think 'What can I write about that people will want to read' or 'How do I get more people to read my blog'. That is why I have knew things like my 'Book Thingamajig'. Often times I will write an entire blog and delete it because 'It wasn't good enough' or 'it was stupid'. But that is stopping right now!! Many 'popular' people say to just be yourself, and although I strive to do that; I feel like I am not myself on here. I am a fake version of the Krystal many of you know and (I hope) love. If my following likes my work and my writing, they will tell their friends and soon enough I wont be on the sidelines or even away from the game, I will be in it.
I guess the reason I write this is because school and life, in general, has been hard to me. As many of you know, I am changing schools this year, and I am not very good at making friends. It doesn't help that most of my old friends are abandoning me, and leaving me to deal with the new school drama on my own. I start school in a week and the reality of it just hit me. But speaking of friends, I want to thank some people for still being there for me:
You all!:

FuzzyOso

Talia

TwoElkers

Tiffany

Kristina

Of course my family (some included above),
and the friends that have stuck to me:

Shmuel

Grasshopper

and A (I don't have a name for her, so Ill call her A)

Along with a couple others.  These people have been there for ever since we first began to be friends. And even if they don't read this, they deserve to be recognized. Any who I will make a separate regular blog.

That picture (below) has nothing to do with anything but its funny :)
I truly appreciate you,

PUPPY!!!!

If you aren't one of my readers: Skip this first part:
Book Thingamajig:
Untamed
PC Cast and Kristen Cast
Ch 1-10

Warning: Do not read unless 1) you have already read this section of the book or 2) you have no plans of reading the book. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

The fact that Stevie Rae is back is still kinda growing on me. I know that she was to much a part of the book to just die like she did, but its still a bit weird. As for the friends being friends again issue, I knew it. There was no way that they could have made so many more books without Zoey's friends. When the High Priestess of all High Priestesses came, I was not expecting anything like what happened. I though Neferet would put on an even faker identity that she had been, and that she would be totally respectful. The High Priestess should kick her butt! :)
We'll see what happens I guess.


Colorado Adventures!!

Yesterday morning, we all slept in. Meaning that we woke up at like 8 o' clock.....Meh! Either way, we went for a late walk on the dam after breakfast and fully waking up :). We worked on making an Elk Stew Casserole, played a couple games of cards. At 2ish we went to the card room and learned how to play Mexican Train. Another very fun game!! Although it, also, takes forever to play!! Then we came home and ate leftovers for dinner, when Aunt Shirley, Uncle Stan, Aunt Pat, and Uncle Gene came back from Farmington. After some friendly conversation I was talking about Shania (dog) and Grandma and Grandpa said that they wouldn't mind if Shania just stayed one day. I called my dad and asked him if he would mind bringing her up here when he came up. I even said that I would wash his car EVERY weekend for a month. But he said he would think about it, so I need to drop it and just let him decide. If there is only one thing that Ive learned in my life, it that when you ask something and the person says 'Ill think about it' it means shut up so I can decide and if you say more about it the answer is no! But that might just be my house. I don't know.
This morning we woke up and got ready to head to breakfast. At least once a month the park hosts a Country Breakfast, that we attended this morning. The food was super good! As we were being served we asked Sandy how Charlie was. She said that there was no way he was gunna sing in church. Therefore we needed to pick a hyme for the choir to sing instead of the Duet. Then I came home to update y'all on my Adventure :).
I hope you enjoying this as much as I am,

Some changes:

Colorado Adventures:
Yesterday we woke up and got ready to go to town. While waiting for Grandpa to get ready, and for time to pass, I blogged and played on the computer :). After awhile of that fun stuff we went to the movie. Dinner for Schmucks is so funny!!!! Another must see in my opinion! The only bad part of the movie, was the (about) 6 year old sitting behind us. All I have to say is that there is a reason they rated that movie PG 13. She didn't get it. At all. And she talked, practically, the whole time. Meh!
After our lunch of popcorn, we went to Albertson's and did some quicky shopping, and headed home. I painted my fingernails pink :) then we went to Charlie and Sandy's place to see if Charlie was ready to practice the song they are going to sing at Church. His voice has been going haywire so we're not quite sure if they are going to sing yet :/.
We went home and ate a snack, played some cards, and went to bed, when I finished my book.
I'm making some changes to the Book Thingamajig. 1) Ive been spelling "Thingamajig" wrong :/. 2) I'm only going to do an overview of the books when they are book reports so that it will help me with my report. 3) I am going to only do my thoughts on what happened in the part I read, when it is a pleasure reading book.

Book Thingamajig:
Chosen
17-The End

Warning: Do not read unless 1) you have already read this section of the book or 2) you have no plans of reading the book. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

No spoilers this time :), because I'm only going to say what I thought about it. Chosen was a super good book!! The suspense and thrill of each chapter held my nose to the book. I only save books/series' that I really like, and this series is getting a special spot on my shelf.
I though that I left my Untamed book at home and that I would have to wait till I left to be able to read it, but when I was putting away my Chosen book I saw a glimpse of Untamed and pulled it out, just to find out that I didn't forget it!!!!! I am a very happy girl!

Up Next:
Untamed (Book 4 of House of Night series)
PC Cast and Kristen Cast.
Love,



PS How do you guys like the signature...I couldn't decide on a color so I used this one just because. I really want your input on what color it should be. If I get a lot of suggestions I might make a poll on the side ---->

An extra day!!!!

I'm very sorry that I didn't blogg about my adventure yesterday :( I was very bored and I don't like to blogg when I'm too bored because then my blogg gets boring. Any who....
We went to Wal mart and returned some things, and then got some candy for the movie :). Then we went to the Theater and saw Charlie St Cloud. It was very very good, but it is defiantly a chick flick :) The weird thing about that theater is: instead of showing previews before the movie, they play music...its a bit annoying. After that we came home and ate some soup. Yum Yum. The popcorn wasn't a good enough lunch for me. Then we went outside and played a game called Phase 10 (google it. You have to have special cards though :( But it is super fun!!). That game takes forever to finish!!!! Grandma won in the end and we all went to bed.
The next day, we got up early to walk across the dam. Belva and Henry left the day before so it was just Grandma, Grandpa, and I (correct grammar :)). We came home, got ready, and fixed the chili so that it could cook till lunch. I worked on my crocheting while Grandma worked on the church bulletin. We went outside and had the chili and the last couple of pieces of pie. Next, for dinner, we had Aunt Pats spaghetti :).
I got home and called Momma and Daddy and asked if I could stay one more day, because the day that I was supposed to leave, is Ice Cream Social day, and Grandpa is making his famous butter pecan ice cream :D. Daddy said that, all along, the plan was: He come up here on Saturday and leave Sunday. So I get an extra day!!!!!!

I still don't have enough chapters read to do a Book Thingamajig. So catch up to chapter 21 and Ill do it tomorrow.
