Running! Yayyy! (Not!) I'm not a big fan of running, well, I'm not now. The first few times I ran I was all, YEAH! THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN! Yeah, it's not like that anymore. I can run a half mile without stopping, but that half mile back does me in. :( I figure I will get it eventually.
Today was especially hard, only because I had to run into the wind, not fun. And I need to run a mile and a half.
So why all the running you ask? Well I'm going to be joining the Air Force sometime in the fall of this year, and in basic training you have to run a mile and a half as part of passing basic training. So, I figured I better get cracking on that. ;)
I also need to be able to do a million sit ups, which I can crank 'em out as long as my feet are stable, and about a billion push-ups. Good thing I'm allowed to do the girly ones. I can do those pretty well, but as soon as I try the regular push-ups, I can only do like, two, at the most, and my form sucks. :(
So, I need to work on that as well.
Today I'm going to visit my recruiter that's in my area. I need to be there at 2. I have tons of stuff to go over, and sign. :) Wish me luck!!!
Lots of love- KEM

Surfing
No, not surfing in the ocean... Surfing the world wide web!
I was looking up new books to read and found a few quotes that I immediately had to write down.
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. -- Veronica Shoffstall
Sticks and stones only break bones. Words can shatter the soul. -- Ina Hughes
These just stick with me for some reason. I have pages of quotes that I love. Some from my history class, which was my favorite in high school, to ones I found while randomly surfing the internet (like these), and ones I got from books I've read.
Words just speak to me sometimes, and I have to keep them close.
Lots of love- KEM.
What are your favorite quotes?? Let me know.

Random Introduction
So, I guess I could start with who I am...
Well, I am Kaitlyn.
I just graduated from High School in May 2010, and then I moved. I know, sad. I had to leave my friends and boyfriend behind. It was seriously the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
I plan on joining the Air Force sometime after October, why October??
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO HARRY POTTER WORLD!!!!!! ^^ I am so excited. I am going with my granny and her best friend. And thankfully, Mom is footing the bill.
More about the boyfriend. :) We've been together over a year, and he makes me feel happy, and beautiful, and loved. :) He calls me Miss.
Now for the Air Force, so... I want to go to college, but I have no way of paying for it. So, I thought this would be a good opportunity to go to college and get my degree with getting some work experience with it.
To prepare for basic training, which I am dreading by the way... I have started running every other day. I run to and from the public pool. It's about a half a mile away, and I can run all the way there without stopping, but I have a hard time running all the way back without stopping. And for basic training, I have to run a mile and a half. So, good thing I have a while to get ready for it.
I am very passionate about art, and music. :)
They are some of my favorite things. I am always doodling on something, most of the time it's myself I'm doodling on. I think I am most fascinated with drawing eyes and also with drawing swirls, and I LOVE to combine the two. I know I'm not the best artist, but it's something I love, so I will continue with it.
Music, the healer of my soul. :) I love to sing, end of story. Haha. I will sing anything, or well, almost anything as I dislike screamo... which isn't really singing anyways... but, I sing pretty much anything. My favorite being country. :) I like to think that I'm a pretty good singer, everyone has told me so. Except my little sister... she always says I'm awful just because she's jealous. No, seriously, it's true. She can't sing very well, and hates the fact that I can. I'm not making it up, I swear.
Let's see, what else can I bore you with?? Teehee.
I rarely get angry, generally I'm just mildly annoyed. I like to smile, sounds cliche, but it's true. I am addicted to youtube.com, as well as hitting home every few minutes on facebook.
Yeah, I think that will do for now.
Til tomorrow!
Lots of love- KEM.
