Letters From that One Girl

Dear Readers,

Hi y'all. No, wait. I meant to open with "Hey there." Oops.

I swear that Mr Ayala is turning me Southern with all this Tom Sawyer, Inherit the Wind, and To Kill a Mockingbird stuff. D:

My Current List of Thoughts:

• Doctor Who
• Need to write TLTA
• I like music
• Wasting time, wasting time....
• Summer
• I dislike school.
• "Woah-oh-oh-ohhh, Mona Lisa..."
• Ihavenoskillsat.typinguhhh.@#$^*FGjsfh234$%@
• What am I doing?
• Fish Custard! :D
• Summmmeerrrr.....
• I need to stop procrastinating
• Who am I talking to?
• Summer.
• SUMMER.
• I reeeeally want ice cream.

SO. Now you basically know what's on my mind.

Love,
That One Girl

Mind Control

What? A post from Katelyn? How is this possible?!

You haven't heard from me since Christmas! That's crazy! We must fix that.

Well, to start you off, it's been six months. Which means I can put off Turn Loose the Angels no further. Well... I could, but I should not! D: So I will attempt to finish it before the deadline for my "free proof copy" lol. (:

In other news, County Science Fair is over! It has been for like... two or three months. O.o And YEAH! I placed again! I was so very happy to hear that! Unfortunately, I was in Virginia when the ceremony was, but my science teacher picked up my stuff. I got first place in my category! Aaannd I won first place in my school's science fair as well. :) (WOT? This is MADNESS!) So that was all pretty awesome. My excruciatingly painful work has paid off. :D

Now the reason I was in Virginia that day was that I went on my eighth grade trip to Washington D.C., which was so very full of awesomeness. After spending three days there, we headed off to Philadelphia for a day, and then to New York. I think New York was probably the funnest for most of the people on the trip because it was less of a learning experience and more excitement really. However, I loved New York (being the creepy nerd I am) because of all the history. Ellis Island was super awesome, because I found a bunch of family members who passed through there. Aaaannd, I passed by a house where my great grandparents had lived in Little Italy. Was pretty coooool.

Doctor Who has started up again in America! WOOOO! Hahaha. Steven Moffat is such a genius; this is why Russel T. Davies will never be appreciated. (: I absolutely adored the way that the new season has opened up. The Silence is now added to my list of amazing Doctor Who monsters! River still annoys me, but a little bit less now that we've seen more of her. But Amy! I don't understand why she treats Rory the way she does. I love Rory, and he deserves much better. She needs to just stop flirting with the Doctor so he can be happy. D:

In other news, I've been drawing a lot. As always. I feel like I say the same thing in every post, lol. I feel like I'm sort of improving? But I also find my style leaning closer and closer to a cartoon-ish style. I don't know. Just go check out my deviantART because I have some serious mind control over y'all. >:D

Oh, and my life's dream is to get a pet llama.

School is so close to being over that it's sad! Something about Spring Break just makes kids want to give up on school. D: Especially me. And... guh! Alison and Safieh won't be here on Thursday or Friday, so I will have loneliness in Science class. D: Depressssssiioooonnn. *sigh*

I must stop procrastinating and finish my novel!! D:

Hugs & Kisses,
Katelyn

EVERYTHING!

Yes, everything! I've got so much to tell y'all. :D
So fast-forwarding a bit... ziiiiiiiipp! I've recently gotten into Chameleon Circuit and I listen a lot to Charlie McDonnell (but I've been doing that forever, haha). I finally saw the 5th season of Doctor Who, and how exciting it was!
Matt Smith brings back a lot of how the old Doctor Who was in Tom Baker's heyday. A tad bit of drama but lot's of fun with wit and humor in between. Of course, Tennant had some episodes like that too. But Smith is really bringing it out with shining victory! Love it.
I watched Doctor Who at the Proms and the new Christmas Special (in which I LOVED. One of the best of the 5th season by far.). So Doctor Who, Eleventh Doctor-wise,  is so far impressing me. (:

Back tracking now! Back to November. I completed my second year of NaNoWriMo! I got a winner's t-shirt (and for Christmas I actually got a NaNo sweatshirt too). :D I actually finished my 50k in Disneyland! That was pretty cool for me. Which leads me to...
Yesh, I went to Disneyland again this year! It was pretty fun, considering all of the Tron promotions going on. There was a special promotion that was called "ElecTRONica" that I especially enjoyed. It was a really cool night club-ish thing for teens that was open after the park closed. Even better, for one night only, the winners of America's Best Dance Crew performed! I got to see it front row, and got the entire show on my phone's video camera. The sound quality was crappy, but I got all the moves. :D ElecTRONica also provided a 9 minute 3D sneak peek at the movie in IMAX with special FX. This was of course before the movie came to theaters. It was pretty awesome. (:
I met a couple cool dancers while there, but not enough to get their phone numbers lol (audience *aww*). So that was that.

For Christmas, I got a nice camera, a new sketchbook, prismacolor pencils(!!), a monocle(bwahaha), a pound of chocolate bar(:D), a book about Steampunkery and one about Sock Monkeys(lol), many hats, a pretty cool jacket, a NaNoWriMo sweatshirt, and lots of muse! I drew a lot on Christmas Day.
If you want to see any of these drawings, just check out my Facebook, or my deviantART page. I'm much too lazy to post any. Oh and if you didn't know, my deviantART is: http://countingmystars.deviantart.com/

Anyhoo. Lately I've just been hanging around, fiddling with ideas for my various stories, and doodling like mad. I finished Unwind by Neil Shusterman. It was ahhmazingg! You all must read it. This book doesn't have as many readers as it should. Thank you Alison for introducing it to me!
I started reading that Vampire Academy series again last night, desparate for something to read. It's not so bad. I'm waiting to get to a book store to buy Zombies vs. Unicorns or Clockwork Angel... or maybe even Mortal Instruments, since I know so many people that liked it. I've always tended to steer away from books about people with wings, but after a couple years, I guess I'm giving in, hahaha.
I've decided that I'm going to be a Dalek for Halloween next year also. Yep, it shall be pretty awesome. Can't wait. (:

I go back to school on Wednesday (D:). Noooo! I am quite sad. But I'm already halfway through the year. Yay...? Meh.
Well, that's about it, haha. Sums up most of everything. Alas, I've forgotten the rest. :D

My first post of 2011. Ta ta.

Bread! Bread!

Doodle Gallery

Lately, I know that you've noticed, I've been coloring a lot of pictures after scanning them. So some of you may know that during the school year, I had this journal for The Last that was called Dreams and Adolescence. It had lots of doodles, especially ones from Turn Loose the Angels (which I have no idea how this pertains to The Last, lol).

Here are some colored versions of those doodles. :)

Here are a couple of TLTA characters. (left to right) top: Dominic Campian(Love), Kate Darcy, Alice Hadeson(Death) bottom: Ginger(name will probably change) Darcy, James Darcy

These are the boys of Cerridan University(minus Oliver). Shaun(leftmost) is Ginger's scottish boyfriend. He's just awesome like that. Middle is Dominic and then James. I really love the expression on Dominic's face. Being Love, he knows a lot about how much havoc the girls can bring up. xD

Ginger again. I'm pretty sure that her name will change. I really dislike it. :P

I like this picture of Kate. She always has problems like this when working with Alice.

This is probably my favorite of all of my Edgar pictures. He's just so hilarious and oblivious to the blood. Poor, poor Evil.

Another two posts in one day. Hmph. I'm getting too excited with this, haha. I'm off to draw more pictures of Evil. I must master drawing him, because of course he's the hardest for some reason.

Consumed in Evil,

Keep smilin',

Stitching the Seams

Lady Narborough: "Everybody I know says you are very wicked."
Harry: "It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one behind one's back that are absolutely and entirely true." --The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

YEAAAHHH...! Everything has finally started to fall back together. I have begun to stitch over what had been ripped through the past few months.
Successfully, I have not only completed County Science Fair, but also placed! They don't tell you how or where you place until you reach the ceremony on the 11th of April, so I'm totally excited.
In addition, I have completed all of my projects for the quarter. :D (ABCs of  Geometry, Voltaire biography, science fair, etc. etc.) All of my deadlines are completely met and on time, so it's all good by now.
And.... it's spriiingggg breeeaaakkk!! Tomorrow is Easter(the second-best candy central of the year) and I am ready... to... reeee...laxx. ^_^
The Last is coming on nicely as well.
A status of all of my current stories:

The Last: in progress
Burning Roses: ? MIA!?
Turn Loose the Angels:  Pending for November (whoohoo!)
The Missing: Erm... MIA as well.. *shrug*
The Deadlight: So many good ideas, so less commitment xP

Well, if I forgot anything, I am sorry to that idea. (poor lonely idea, lost in the dark depths of the abyss called my brain). :P Have a good spring break everybody!

Happy as a squirrel,
Katelyn

Epic. Fail.

:P

On the other hand... I've been slowing down with my drawing craze, but I've still got a lot up. I should probably scan them to show you guys, and I'll do that later. Hopefully. ;) Lemme see how much I've done since my last post.
