Bon Jour and How do ya do?

Well, my dearest friends! Krista is actually still alive! Just thought that you all would like to know that :) I know it's hard to believe since I haven't gotten on here in like FOREVER! However, if you only know me by what I write on my blog, I would consider you a creeper. If reading my blog honestly and truly brightens your day, then ok. But if not, then you should go do something a tad bit more important with your life.   Anywho- if you do know me, then you would know that I am spending like half or maybe 2/3 of my life in Marching Band! (GO KOTO!) So, I really don't have oodles of time on my hands, in fact, hardly any time at all, but I love livin this crazy life! a-ooga!

Never Ending

So, have you ever just looked in the mirror and realize that the person staring right back at you someone you are best friends with? Like, today I felt like there were two Kristas walking around everywhere. One was loving life at school, and the other one was crouching in the background trying to find her place. Then the happy krista walks over to the lonely one, grabs her hand, and pulls her into the sunshine. I just figured out that I like myself. I'm kinda awesome. :) it's a good feeling. I mean weird? Sure. However it don't matter none to y'all down he-a. So uh,uh,uh. Just so y'all know now, I've done gone and read a book bout them folks down south and they's got em some 'mazin' ways a talkin'. Yup, I had to get that out of my system. I feel much better y'all.

S t r e t c h i n' I t O u t

If you have never profited by my blog ever in your life, I am here to tell you that that will not be the case no more... "Why?" you ask. Well, I will answer your question. School starts in ONE week from today being August 19th. Do you need me to repeat that? School starts in ONE week from today being August 19th.   yup. bye

Miracles!

Alright, my dear blog peoples. I am here to tell you of a miracle in our very own little cache valley. Are you ready? Are you sure? Drumroll please-.......... I ---------CLEANED MY ROOM!!!! Ahh! Oh and there's more! If you aren't dead from the shock of that, I'll tell you the rest! Ahem- I also vacuumed it! Yup. If you aren't a believer of miracles by now, I don't think you EVER will be. Oh, and I also have a public announcement to make. My carpet is brown.You would think that after like six years of living somewhere, you would figure out what color your carpet was. Well, I learned something new today! Yeah me! Now I hope I have made your day with my glorious news. If I haven't, go to charlies or something and get an ice cream. If that doesn't work, go jump off a cliff. Ok, don't do that, but you seriously need some professional help. :) krista is out! Peace!         Hey! Still here! Do you want to see a picture of my beautiful room??? Here you go my wonderful buddy friends!   Note the BROWN floor!

me vs. myself

There comes a point in your life when you realize how strong you are. When you have to do something so hard, to put yourself through seemingly pointless pain. You think while you are doing it that you are doing the right thing. That even though all the people are effected, it was worth it. That's what you should hope for anyway. There is the creeping, itching whisper that says it wasn't. That what you just did was probably the stupidest thing you have ever done and that things will never be the same again. Ever.   
 'Why'd you do that? I don't think that you could have ever destroyed that moment better then you just did. '
'But, I was doing the right thing!'
'Were you? Were you really?'
'Of course I was! I was thinking of the future, not the immediate pleasure.'
'Humph. You probably won't have any fun or anything after that. You hurt some feelings and now they will never be the same.'
'If they are really my friends, they'll forgive me and understand.'
'Yup. Sure. You tell yourself that.'
'I am strong enough to get through it. Even if I have to do it alone. I was acting for the best. Trying to follow every thing I've been told since I was little. I am strong. I am. It'll all work out eventually.'
'And if it doesn't?'

*Sigh* I think this could go on for a long time. But, I am still desperatly hoping that the good guy wins this one. I kinda need her to.

Putting it into Words

Do you ever have a feeling that you just want to share with the world? Maybe this is just Krista and no one else feels like this, but I do sometimes. (Emphasis on the sometimes. Because when I'm mad, you shouldn't be talking to me no way, no how. And when I'm frustrated, get out of my way and let me go chill somewhere.) However, today there is a little fire crackling inside me. It's flickering and moving around a little, but it won't go away! I just want to give everyone around a big hug and oh, I don't really know. It's not really happiness like my usual. It's like a mixture of all of em! happiness, contentment, sincerity, passion, a little giggle here and then. It's jubilant and radiant! What is that called? I'll call it, um... well, there's just not one simple word for it. Just loving this life antd my friends and what's going on! Yeah! It just feels like walking on the beach during the sunset, with the waves looming in and out, in and out. The smell of salt hanging in the air and you dig your toes into the wet sand and it's just warm and serene. Everyone you love and care about is with you, not fighting or gossiping or anything. Everyone is just feeling the same thing you are and so all you can hear is the crashing of the waves in the distance and the occasional seagull putting his two cents in.l I just love the ocean and all it is. sigh. I love it!

New and Improved!

Look how ginormous it is! And how powerful too! He must weigh like 300-400 lbs at least!

Bye Bye Seal.

Well, hey! This is Krista signing in and I am gonna tell you about some new stuffs coming around on It's Spunkalicious! Well, actually, the new stuff is kinda pathetic, but there is nothing else to do today! I put some new dillywhops on the side. If you just scroll down you will see them. I have one of San Francisco because I love love LOVE that place, the freaky monkey is on there becuase he makes me laugh and the sharks becuase I think that they are so amazin'. And shark week is the first week of August everyone! I have to miss it becuase of band camp. sniff sniff. So, while you are watching things be torn apart by ferocious man-eating razor sharp teeth, I will be tooting away on Richard, my trumpet. Yeah. It is really that sad.

Am I going crazy? Don't you think that is cool? Look how high he is out of the water! Look at all those rows of teeth! That is just so amazing! and awesome! and blow your mind away cool!

Don Don Don!

Great Men of UK Period Drama

I love love LOVE period dramas AKA Chick flicks with hotties such as Mr. Darcy. So, just so you know, Lorna Doone is my all favorite right now. It is on here a couple of times. This is yet another glimpse of Krista. btw North and South is also an amazing one! That and Lorna Doone are ones that even men like. My dad actually enjoyed North and South. Richard Armitage is wonderful! You don't know who that is, but I love him. and Colin Firth and John Ridd and Mr. Bingley oh goodness :) I love them all!

The Power of English!

Have you ever thought about how amazing the English language is? Like how these little marks on a computer screen are talking to you? How millions and millions of dollars are made from writing some way or another. How so many people would never never know anything about the world with out them? It is something big to think about! There are people that can take these letters and paint pictures with them. Words can move people. Change people. Infuriate people. We all depend on them. Without this language we would never have knowledge of anything besides the land and what. We would never know anything the people before us. No one could write a story and lift us up with them. There wouldn't be movies, books, schools, iPods, internet, stores, groceries! It would really kinda stick. All of that depends on 26 letters. geez.

Passing of Leo

Today I will tell you the most saddest tale. It is about the best pen I have known today. I was writing wtih him today and the old age finally kicked in. He lived to the golden year of 3 months. I know. It was terrible. I nearly thought about crying. I took some pictures of his grave stone that I had to make last minute. I wanted to make this special for him, but then I figured that he was dead and that it didn't matter anyway. After the shock of his death it's ok to shed a few tears, but in the final run, he has gone to a better place. I include his last pictures.

Leo in the meadow that he loved.

In his final resting place. Well, the actual resting place is the dump, but this goes there eventually.

Ryan mourning over his grave. :(

His gravestone reads: Here lies our wonderful, glorious pen. He was a friend to all even though all we did was use him. He wrote with a vigor rarely seen and his memory will live on within us for about 3 minutes. We shed his final tear. Let him rot in peace. LEO POTTER 4/10/10-7/19/10 His long life we honour. (I spelled honor the old way to be more sincere! hee hee!)

JULIAN SMITH - Jellyfish best ever!

   Ijust barely figured out how to put videos on here! Yes! This is the bestest! You will now see a whole lot more of the Krista Life!  Wha-Hoo! Youtube rocks!

Secret Message of Awesomeness!

क्रिस्ता जेल्य्न्ने लार्सेन इस थे बेस्तेस्ट परसों एवर तो वाल्क थिस प्लानेट एंड आईटी'स तू बाद ठाट यू कैन'टी तेल हेर सो राईट नो. That's right... I just typed some mystery thing right there and you will never ever figure out what it says. Unless of course you can read those funky symbols, which I am sure you can't. So you will be sitting there at home or  where ever looking and looking at that and think stubbornly to yourself, "I just have to figure out what she wrote there! What if it's about me? What if the secret of life is written there and I can't even read it?" That is where you would hear my voice in your head telling you to suck it up and learn that language! Mwa-ha-ha! In fact I don't even think you can copy and paste it to word and change the font to English so you can read it! It feels so good to have something that no one can ever know what the heck it means on my blog. I have no idea why.   Oh, don't feel bad! I'm not trying to make anyone look stupid or anything! No! Don't stop following my blog becuase I got you frustrated! Ok, I'll tell you what it says. It says that Krista Jaelynne Larsen is my name and blogging is my game. Or something like that. I can't really remember anymore. But whatever it says won't change the universe or anything! So will you still be my friend? Really? Thanks. :)

Why oh why...

Why oh why... Now I wonder... Hrm. Actually I don't really have anything amazing to tell you today. You see, I wrote that title thing last night on my iPod and I have no idea what awesome thing I was going to say. And my little brother is sitting here breathing down my neck cuz apparently it's HIS turn with the computer... So, mostly because I just wanna make him mad, I am going to type and type and type. You don't have to keep reading because all it's gonna be is complete and utter nonsense... You know, just because you kept reading this ridiculous post, I am going to tell you something that I have never told no one before. It is this- I think that baby toes are the cutest thing you ever done seen. But then the baby gets older and the toes start to look gross and get all hairy and yellow looking. On boys anyway. My toes are actually pretty cute. They are pink right now! :)Trev is annoyed!! hahahahaha. Now I am going to talk about my lovely day today. Let's see. I got up at 10:00 and lumbered around for awhile. I ated breakfast then read a book called The Mostly True Story of Homer P. Figg which is actually a really sad book about the Civil War. Speaking of books, I just read the most amazing one! It's called When You Reach Me. It's one of those books that makes you sit there and think and think about it and when you finally come to a conclusion, you notice something else that changes it all and you have to start over. To keep talking on, I must say that my favorite movie at the time is The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is a really cool movie that makes you think and feel and laugh and cry. I think I need to read that book too, except for everyone dies in it. No one dies in the Disney Version except for the bad guy. And this bad guy is really bad cuz there are actually people like him! ahh! Frollo the creepy religious fanatic! Anyway, now Trev forgot that he was getting on, so I can get off now! I am so mean... :)

Here I am Again!

Now, to all you people out there, you probably won't read this because the blogger faze kinda died out. But, no worries! Now I can share all my juicy secrets and no one will even know... Mwa-ha-ha! Well actually I don't really have any juicy secrets to share because that's how I roll. However, if you hang in there, you will be supplied with glorious insight to Krista (the awesome) Larsen. Right at this moment, my little brother Ryan is buggin the heck out me reading everything I type out loud. Excuse me while I punch him... Ok. I'm back. A while back I told you that I would put on my Disneyland pictures, so world, Here they are! Yeah for me!

The crew at the Happiest Place on Earth! All the people for those who don't know... The dude is my uncle Randy, The lady is Laura, the guy with me on the railing is cousin Jordan, the baby is Maggie and the two girls are Shelbie and Jaycie. Not in the pic are Gram and Lauree.

Hee Hee! The Tower of Terror! That's Lauree with her hands up. AHH!

Randy in a Mad Hatter hat. I find that ironic for some reason

This is at our hotel. I am right between goofy and the surf board, so it's kinda hard to see, but we had to get a picture!

In the tea cups! Me and Jay!

This is yet another awesome picture taken at the haunted Tower of Terror! Best ride EVER!

This is in California Park. That's grammy behind us!

Shelbs in the Mad Hatter Hat as well. I really wanted to buy one, but they were so hot! I don't know how Johnny Depp handled it!

Jasmin and Aladdin! I love those guys! Hee, and I got to stand next to the stud! Ha ha Lauree!

Close up waiting to go in the park! Don't ya love Jay's sunglasses?

Waiting again, Don't you love the awesome ponytail thing? And Jordan's face? Pretty much one of my favorite pictures!

This is me right after we got off of the plane beholding the palm trees. Yeah, I was to excited to be on the ground to really care what I looked like. :)


The Buzz Lightyear ride! I beat Jordan! (actually I only beat him once and that was the only picture we emailed to ourselves so ha!)

ARG! Captian Krista J. Sparrow

SCREAMIN'! The bestest roller coaster ever!!

Jay as the Mad Hatter!

We all got a kick with the Mad hatter hats apparently.

In front of the tea cup ride. This is the white rabbit's house from Alice in Wonderland. I don't think he liked his house being a Kodack Moment. :)

At California with the Brother Bears! It was really weird though, I was standing next to him and the guy inside was panting. HUH-HUH-HUH. I think it was hot in there. Or maybe I was just really cute.:)

Lauree, Jord and me with Pluto! 'Twas an amazing trip!!

Well, confessions...

This is where I apologize to the lovely followers of my blog by saying that i have had other things on my hands! My blog is, sadly, not my top priority. Just so you are informed with my goings about, I will bring you up on occurrences.I took a weekend trip that rocked my socks and I went to Disneyland!! Pictures :) actually they are coming later because they are in my email and I really don't wanna have to go and save them and then put them on here. So when I have patience, I will do that... And, I mostly got on here cuz i wrote me a new poem. So you have to comment and tell me that it's good even if it's not. Just to boost my self-esteem.

Light in the Black

Never was a life gone by
that hadn't fought a battle,
There's always one raging on
casting a deep blue shadow
heavy as a mighty fog.

It always seems to be the case
that as time progresses on
that stakes are climbing higher
so the enemy will spare none.
You can't escape his black eyes.

Some people crack from relentless strain.
Others will simply fall.
Never has there been one soul
able to withstand all
except for one.

It is in this one our only light emits
from within the suffocating dark
He is our redeemer, our way to peace
the very hope to remove these marks;
the flaring marks of battle.

So raise your flag, your fresh resolve
and lift your heavy head.
This war is one worth fighting for.
Our heavenly brother did.
With him you conquer all.

There you are! Poetry. Once again!

Procrastination....

I am an awesome procrastinator. You never would find a person so good at finding something else to do, than me!(Whatever!!!says Dakota. Than Me!) You see, in our dear yearbook class of awesomeness we got a persuasive essay assignment like a whole month ago, and guess what I've done? Can you guess??? Well, I PICKED MY TOPIC! Yeah me! It's about Drug Legalization. Yup. I wanna have crack and pot and marijuana with me all the time! Ok, actually no. I am kinda crazy enough without the whole drug thing. I am con about drug legalization. You can breath again, don't worry.
(this part is sung!)*Procrastination. Procrastination. There are only 5 days left. My grade depends on this assignment. Procrastination.*
Ahh! And here comes the teacher! My lovely procrastination opera ode is over.

Changin it Up

Well, some little birdie told me that all my poems are depressing and about super sad stuff. Well just so you know I wrote on laughing that got published to a whole bunch of YW in California, so ha! But, just to prove you wrong, here you go!

I've heard it spoken, I've heard it rhymed
but never once had the experience
until the day I caught his eye.

No one has ever been this to me
only friends flashing across the screen.
But I can feel forever here.

He makes me laugh. He smiles alot.
He's loud, outgoing, and over the top.
He's my perfect match.

I love his voice and how easy he talks.
The expression in his eyes as his meet mine.
The only phrase is head over heels.

Yearning to be More

I feel so small, so helpless.
The world around me is pushing, crushing in.
Nothing feels right or good.
Simply a maze in which I wonder in.

I am so tired, so exhasted
Of trying to keep up, stay constant
In everything expected of me.
Soon I'll fall beneath the surface.

I am so worn, so battered
From the fray of war raging, swirling.
Having fought my solid battle,
Only to be begged to march in yet another.

I am trying, am striving
With every single ounce to conquor, triumph
Only to be beat against by a giant wave.
Everytime being weathered down a little more.

I am so small, so helpless.
I am so tired, so exhasted.
I am so worn, so battered.
But I am still trying, still striving.

I'm Still Alive!

Don't worry! I am still alive! Just becuase I haven't written for like two weeks doesn't mean that I died! I just have more stuff to do you see! The talent show was AMAZING! Me and Emily rocked the school with our amazing skills! I love that girl! She rocks my world. Anyway, and then, me, lizette and Chey went to go Toilet Paper Master Nick, but he told us that his dad was going to kill him and us if we did, so we baked a batch of cookies and TPed them! I even made a little bow! And let me just say that we are amazing cooks. The cookies were very yummy and delectable. We also know how to pose for a Cooking magazine! Then we made hims stand there while we TPed him! Oh, I love that kid too! It's just love all around :) (I'm gonna marry this kid :))(No, really) (Ok, probably not. )

Urm...

Today kinda was like a dream... Not a bad dream, not a good dream. It was kinda like I was disconnected from the world. You know that feeling when you are dreaming something really weird or bad and you know that it's a dream, but you just can't wake yourself up? That's sort of how I felt today. It was just...neutral. No feelings. But, I read a poem on Parker's blog that was so deep and really soul gripping and I tried to write one, and I just didn't feel the intensity that I usually feel. Weird...
And then, I tried to come up with a cool title for this post and my brain is just not itself! I usually can come up with some rather coolish one-word summery of life today and 'urm...' was what my brain was thinkin'. Maybe my brain is just fried.

Livin' the Life :)

Alright, so as the title states, I am living the life! I shall present my reasons for doing so... 1) Last weekend I went and hung out with my dearest aunt Lauree, and we had a blast!! We watched March Madness pretty much the whole time and I have all of the commercials memorized. "it's big! It's juicy! It's Sonic!" Then we went to Alice in Wonderland in 3D at the Imax and it was pretty much the bomb.com! It was ultra super sauce! The mad hatter rocks my sox:) Alrighty then, off to number 2) I aced my talent show song with Emily and we're going to rock the house! 3) Me and Mom and Lauree are going to park city on a weekend in April!! Yesh! We are staying in this killer condo an gonna go crazy in the city! And finally number four which is the grand finale, I am flying to DISNEYLAND!!!With my very own money! All of it! I paid for the whole thing! Well except for the hotel room, I kinda snuck my way into that plan, but other than that! The plane and park ticket! Waa-Hoo! It's gonna be a blast cuz I get to skip school, and go crazy in the park with Lauree, gram, gramps, Laura and cousins! No immediate family anywhere considered! I love my life!!
Well now you see how awesome things are panning out for me, you still have to be my friend. I'll bring you guys some Mickey suckers!




Some Pictures I took last time that make me so so excited for next time!!! YESH!!

Serious Tension!

Well, goodness. That was my day today! It was Thursday, so I was rather loopy already and then I realized that today is the first official day of MARCH MADNESS! Yes! So, I made my dad print me off a bracket in first hour, then I filled it out in second and in fourth, my English teacher was playing the BYU game and I realized that Villanova was losing! AHH! That was bad because I have Villanova winning the WHOLE THING! (I actually don't know why I did Villanova, because they barely made it past the first round, so I don't really have good taste in teams, but they did have the coolest name so... :)) And after I realized Villanova's rather bad performance, I went and filled out a new one of which Syracuse is winning the whole thing. Which I deem much more likely to win than Villanova. But, BYU won. urgschnapples to them. I dislike BYU with a very strong, fiery dislike. We're talking serious case of it. And I totally had Florida winning that game, so stinks for me. I hope that they choke in the next round and ultimately fail. So that is my Schpill on March Madness.

Changes Made

Sorry if you are tired of poems, but the muse was with me! If you want Krista's gushy life details, tune in next time! (unless of course the muse comes round again, then you should just go read a book or something:))


Everything has a problem.
Nothing glides on smooth.
But small, little bumps in the road
Do nothing but prove
Who you are and why you're you.

Sometimes these small set backs
Lead to bigger things-
Maybe dark or void of light
Or fit for every king.
It all depends on choices made.

You can look ahead with seeing eyes
Or crouch behind the shadows.
Try to be the best you can
Or blow out all your candles.
Every moment rests in your hands.

The bumps are unavoidable and
Nothing can be done.
So there is a choice you have to make.
You can take all or none.
Learn from it or fall defeated.

Anyone can see their life
As a thing of little worth.
But it takes an inspired soul
To lift it from the dirt
And change to be His instead.

For They Are Happy

This us a poem I thought up in bed last night while I was half asleep. And it is kinda based on a true story but mostly really super duper exagerated.

It all starts with a boy and girl
who had the world at their feet
They said they were friends and nothing else
So the story goes.
She thought it was more.

He met his dream one day by chance
and showed the world his feelings.
She couldn't pretend he was hers anymore.
She saw the truth and told herself
At least he is happy.

While they skipped and laughed in their happy world
only filled with one another,
she sat alone in a crowded room trying to remember
what it felt like to be her.
At least he is happy.

A simple truth universally acknowledged
never should hurt so much.
'My chance will come. I'll find the one that will fill Mr Darcy's shoes'
She still waits and wonders
When she'll be the one that's happy.

Ok the poem can end here if ya want. But I kinda made an alternent ending that was suppossed to be serious and dramatic and it turned out to be a joke, so there you go!

One day, while she was walking
trying to look content,
a man with a gun and a cruel scowl turned his weapon at her
"Whats your problem little doll?
Wanna meet your maker?"

She thought of him, and his sweet smile
then of his love's perfection.
She could never be that special girl so why did she keep trying
to live the life she'd never live and said to this man,
"Bring it."

He drew the pistol, took aim, and fired.
The sound defied description.
Her body fell with a staggering crumble.
The man turned to run
to escape the sirans that erupted.

It could also end here too if you are the dramatic type. Now if you hate gushy endings, here's the ending for you...

Then suddenly, with defining fury
the dead who wasn't dead at all
kararte chopped this ugly gunman.
she grabbed him firmly by the left ear lobe
and presented him to the cops.

For you see, no one can shoot a ninja maiden
especially when she's Krista Larsen.
The End!

Shuffle!

It's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song cuz the best love song is written from a broken heart.

I build walls, a fortess deep and mighty. I am a rock I am an island. don't talk of love well I've heard that word before. It's sleeping in my
memory. I don't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would of cried. I am a Rock. I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain. And an island never cries.

Well I feel just like you and I cry just like you. But I heal just like you and under
my skin I'm just like you and everybody else. When I get hurt I cry for help and I break down just like you. But I'm weak just like you an under my skin I'm just like you.

I've got no arms. I've got no legs but i've got a head. I got a head that tells me stupid things to do. So tell me if this is love cuz baby I'm a tin man.

Have you ever been low? Have you had a friend that let you down so? When the truth came out were you the last to know? Were you left out in the cold? Cuz what you did was low.

Your on phone with your girl friend. She's upset cuz she doesn't get you humor like I do. She'll never know your story like I do. But she wears short skirts I wear t-shirts she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers. Dreaming about the day when you see that I'm the one. All
this time how could you not know that maybe you belong with me?

Don't wish don't start wishing only wounds the heart I wasn't Born for the rose and pearl. There's a girl I know. He loves her so. I'm not the
girl.

Have you seen the little piggies crawling In the dirt? And life for the little piggies is getting worse. Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggie lives you can see them out for dinner with their piggie wives. Clutching forks and knives to eat the
bacon!

Do you tell yourself Your just a fool just a fool. Trying to think you can change the world. The smallest thing can make such a difference don't listen to em when they say your just a fool to think you change the world.

Polka Dots

Right, well you know how I said that I was going to put pictures of my amazing room on here so the world could see it's awesomeness? Well here you are! (Sorry if you are sick of pictures. In case you didn't know, I really like pictures! They are so much fun!)








Yeah, doing these polka dots were in a pain in the neck. I am just trying to tell you how much work was in these things. You see, I had to draw everyone with a pencil on the wall by the process of sticking circles on an over head projector and tracing the circle. Then we had paint them and paint them and paint them again. So now you know that I actually work when I feel like it!

A Toe's Life Story...

So Sunday night I was really supposed to be in bed, but I didn't want to! So, I started taking random pictures, and then suddenly, I thought that it would really not be fun to be a toe...


A toe named Shirley


A toe named Shelton


Shirley is checkin' out Shelton. She is pleased.

Shelton is checkin' out Shirley. He is also pleased.


They give each other 'the look' and gradually draw closer to each other...


*Snuggle Snuggle*

Then Sheldon foolishly says, "Oh goodness, hon. You really smell like feet."

Well, Shirley didn't appreciate that too much.

Where'd Sheldon go?

RIP dear Sheldon.
Moral of the story is this: if your girlfriend smells like feet, do not tell her! She will tackle you to the ground and draw 'x's and a squiggly mouth on your face with a Sharpie!
