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!

Momma K

Right. Well today was pretty much amazing! It mostly was because yesterday I was stressed out if my mind about crap that no one wants to worry about and so up was really the only place left to go. But Emily and I made the talent show !!!!! I am super duper excited! Our try out wasn't too good. In fact we sucked it up, but we walked out smiling and Emily said that we were going to memorize the while piece( we're playing a duet in piano). Which isn't a problem for her because she's got memorized already. I, on the other hand, saw the music for the first time a week ago.:) But, I like a challenge I guess!
Now, I called this post momma k because my real momma is sick and can't really walk down the stairs let alone run a household, so I stepped in and was the momma today. It wasn't all that fun especially since I had to teach piano today, but like I said, challenges are good. So from now on, you have to call me Momma K. Becuase it just sounds cool. When I grow up to be a grandma, and the grandkidd will call me Momma K and I'll be the best grandma they've got cuz my names the coolest! Yeah!

Depression

Depression is black and grey.
It smudges everything into everything.
There is no light, there is no color.
Just black and grey.
Depression eats away at soul and life.
It devours everything that you love.
It rejects all things joyous
and welcomes the hurt.
Depression is the pain, the sting
that remains after all good things are torn away.
