The Thesaurus Is One Of my Best Friends

Ladies and Gents, Katie ness forgot to post the last twenty million or so hours. 'Polegies to those who like reading this. Have i ever expressed my love for thesauruses? They are any writer/poet's dream. I mean, they actually tell you words to use for other words! like this one, instead of saying Stupid, you could say any one of these words:
sensless, brainless, idiotic, simple, shallow, imprudent, witless, half-witted, funny, comical, silly, laughable, irrational, inane, ridiculous, mindless, ludicrous, muddled, absurd, nonsensical, illogical, indiscreet, unintelligent, irresponsible, scatterbrained, crack-brained, addled, foolish, unwary, incautious, misguided, wild, injudicious, imbecile, addlebrained, lunatic, insane, mad, crazy, moronic, touched, freakish, comic, narrow-minded, incoherent, childish, senile, far-fetched, preposterous, unreasonable, asinine, unwise, thoughtless, careless, fatous, light, lightheaded, flighty, madcap, giddy, cuckoo, boneheaded, goffy, cracked, half-baked, in a daze, wacky, dumb, harebrained, screwy, cockeyed, loony, batty, dopey, nutty.  

with all those choices, why would anyone even NEED to add stupid? The Thesaurus is one of my best friends. I just love it.


Now instead of saying, "that's stupid," you could say,
"That's the most inane, ludicrous, Irrisponsible, incoherent, boneheaded, flighty, poposterous thing I have ever seen!"
or if you wanted to be such a boring character you could just say that it's stupid. Oh-So lame.

So Pull out your thesaurus and parooze it once and a while!

Ciao!
Katie


P.S., just to say, I love hamburgers!

Books You Gotta Read

okay so here are some books I've read that I'm passing my thoughts of down to all of you! the first book I want to show is called Wintergirls

The Blurb:
" Dead girl walking,” the boys say in the halls.
“Tell us your secret,” the girls whisper, one toilet to another.
I am that girl.
I am the space between my thighs, daylight shining through.
I am the bones they want, wired on a porcelain frame.


Lia and Cassie were best friends, wintergirls frozen in matchstick bodies.
But now Cassie is dead. Lia’s mother is busy saving other people’s lives.
Her father is away on business. Her stepmother is clueless. And the voice inside Lia’s head keeps telling her to remain in control, stay strong, lose more, weigh less. If she keeps on going this way – thin, thinner, thinnest – maybe she’ll disappear altogether.

In her most emotionally wrenching, lyrically written book since the National Book Award finalist Speak, best-selling author Laurie Halse Anderson explores one girl’s chilling descent into the all-consuming vortex of anorexia. 

It's really a dark book, but super good. 

The Next book is called The Giver

The Blurb:

Jonas's world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community.

     When Jonas turns twelve he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now it's time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.

It is a little bit boring at first, but it gets better and better as you go on. The Giver is wonderfully written and has you sitting on the edge of your seat!

The next book is called Stolen Children

The Blurb:

When Amy agreed to baby-sit Kendra Edgerton, she had no idea she was stepping into a kidnapping plot. Two men force the girls out of the house and into a cabin in the woods, where they create DVDs to send to the families, in hopes of a large ransom from Kendra's wealthy parents. Using her wits and imagination, Amy stealthily sends clues to the police through the DVDs, but time is working against her: She has one week until her captors decide to return Kendra and get rid of Amy.

These books are all so good! I've read so many more than that, but i don't have enough room or time to write all of them down! some of my favorite authors:

Peg Kehret

Laurie Halse Anderson

Louis Lowry 

Sarah Dessen

Nicholas Sparks 

I have to go now

Bye!

Code Red :Song Stuck in Head

:P

Invisible by Taylor Swift is stuck in my head!!!!!! I can't stop thinking the lyrics:
I just wanna show you
she don't even know you
she's never gonna love you like I want to


Oh my gosh, now I have Good Girls Go stuck in...
I make them good girls go bad...
I was hanging in the corner with my five best friends...
I make them good girls go bad...


That is not a good song, but I heard it on Pandora radio

Oh no now it's Potential Breakup Song!!!
It took too long, It took too long, It took to long 
for you to call back
and normally I would just forget that
except for the fact that it was my birthday
my stupid birthday


Ughhh! now what is coming...

If U Seek Amy
Love me, Hate me, Say what you want about me
But all the boys and all the girls are begging to 
If U seek Amy 


Now what. Please tell me- no no no! not this song!

Down
So baby don't worry 
you are my only
you won't be lonely 
even if the sky is falling down


Let's hope this thing doesn't bug me forever. Just one song after the other...

UGGHHH!
Katie

Car Wrecks and Poetry :-)

Okay so here is the deal. I just started tech at school and it's a lot cooler than I thought. We get to do animation stuff and engineering. But a B+ for me in math. A's all the way in everything else. today a car accident happened right in front of me! We missed the bus (me, chloe, and selena) so we were walking back to ask my dad for a ride. But then we heard this clanging noise so we looked down the road. A car was sandwiched in between two other cars. We ran across the street and asked the teenage boy who was in the sandwiched car what happened. he said that he was pulling out onto the road and a girl ran into him from behind. another boy ran into him in the front too. He said he got hit twice in like five seconds. I felt so bad for him! but all the people were teenagers.

In other news, i have posted some poetry of mine below!

Forgiveness and Rainclouds

I don’t know why I did that

It really wasn’t my fault

 It was Your wrong,

It was Your bad,

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry

But you shouldn’t be

Forgiveness comes in 

Rainclouds,

Drifting off in your general direction

Raining down in sheets

Will you forgive me?

Yes/No/Maybe/I don’t know yet

It takes a while to sink in

And regain what you’ve lost

But the wounds are healing

The shouting has calmed

The storm has nearly ended

It will be finished soon

It will take time

To be comfortable again

To speak and laugh normally again

To be what you were again

To recover

Forgiveness comes in rainclouds

Drifting off in your general direction

Raining down in sheets

Will you forgive me?

Yes.

I will. 

Another one of my favorites! 

I Remember

I remember hearing the sounds of the TV late at night as I lay in bed

and the smell of fish sticks lingering in the kitchen

long after lunch

and I remember the legos scattered along the carpet

and my brother at my side

that time I was and architect

I remember feeling the green grass 

beneath my tiny toes

and the cool summer breeze blowing through my hair

I remember laying on the bricks just below my fireplace

and staring out the window at the white flakes falling

they were beautiful then

and every fall the leaves would change without warning

I didn’t know why

but it was magical

beautiful and serene 

I remember Papa driving the lawn mower

 back and forth across the lawn

and me and my cousins playing along the edge of the pond

trying to see the tadpoles

and I remember sitting in the old treehouse 

trying to keep out the “tigers” from our fort

I was free then

and young

and fearless

but that was yesterday

And now for a final Haiku

Clouds are covering the sky

Dark blue crevasses 

Surrounded by twinkling lights

So there is some poetry. I hope you like it!

Catch you on the flipside homies!

Katie
