Young Holywood

Alright well before I get on with my story, I want to talk about this Jamie-Lynn Spears issue. I work in a hospital with a lot of nurses who have children. I also work teaching swim lessons to a lot of children who idolize kids like JLS for the work she does with Nickalodeon shows. If you have not heard, this sixteen year old is pregnant. She is out in public with the news. I wonder if Britney realizes that she even had something to do with what might well be her sisters downfall. I wonder if she realizes that so many girls like her sister are out there ruining (for lack of better words) their lives in much of the same way. Thinking that when they are sixteen having sex with their boyfriends is ok. Thinking that its normal and safe and nothing bad will come from it. Thinking that being provocative and sexy when they are twelve, fourteen, sixteen years old is the way to be popular and cool, especially with the opposite sex. That that kind of behavior is normal and even admirable. I don't know about any of you, but I don't want my future eight-year-old little girl wearing make-up and heels and a low cut shirt when mommy's not around talking to her friends about their sixteen year old sisters babies and making out with boys. I think young holywood is going to hell. I think it's been oversaid, but this just pushed me over into disappointment and disgust.

In the Beginning

I have always wanted to be good at something. I don't have an amazing talent for music (I play the flute, but lets face it...I'm never gonna be on stage or anything), I sound great singing...in the shower, I'm good with people...until the frustrate me, I can't draw all that well, I don't even LEARN all that well. I've always been pretty good at writing, but I go on long dry spells of not being able to write a single word when I sit down to, and usually when I look back at previous peices I think "what the hell was I doing?". I've always been good with kids. That's probably the thing I am best at...relating to children. People always tell me that takes a "special kind of person." Which every time I hear someone say that, it sounds more like they're saying "Really? you enjoy THAT? Why???" And it is always followed by the routine "I could never do that..." People don't just say it to me, they say it to everyone in different situations, and it's always in an outward-admiration-yet-inward-condescending tone.
So this is what there is about me...as unamazing as I am, I still find I can be interesting so I'll start out with the basics. I was born Katherine Elizabeth S**** (I can't just post things like that on the internet!) on January 18, 1987 to Daneen Anne and Duane Gene. (My parents had some off the wall names to match their off the wall personalities, but we'll get to that later.) I had a 2 1/2 year older sister named Megan Michelle and a mid-size family that always seemed ten times bigger due to their over-large personalities. I was a baldy that was adorable from the start. As soon as I could hold a crayon I was "helping" the pictures in my books and my parents aparent lack of care for color on their walls.
I'll stop here seeing as my free time has run short, but you can bet I'll be back soon with more to my story and hopefully up through the explanation of my name. For now, stay safe. Stay Warm. Stay Laughing. Stay Well.
