About me

*Waves*

Hiiii! I'm The REAL Katie (whatever you do, DON'T believe the "other one". I AM the Real Katie!!!)

Anyhoo, I love to read, write, blog, act, sing, and all that fun stuff. I've been homeschooled my whole life, and met Katie... nine years ago. Wait... NINE YEARS AGO!? Holy mackarel!

Um, yeah. I'm Catholic. Catholicism is cool.

OK, I'm gonna tell you a random story. When I found out a girl named Katie was moving to my town, I was soo excited. So, I decided to make a card. With my amazing artistic skills, I drew me, with yellow hair, and Katie, with black hair. And all over the card I put my favorite Barbie stickers. I was soo excited to give it to her when I met her! I remember meeting her and being soo surprised. She had blonde hair. I was so embarassed, so I didn't give her the card. On the way home, my mom asked me, "So, did Katie like your card." And I began to cry and said, "No! I didn't give it to her! She doesn't have black hair! And she's not allowed to play with Barbies!" I was soo distraught. My mom said, ".... You could have given it to her anyway!" And I replied, "NO! I would have hurt her feelings! *SOB!*"

Sigh. Memories.

Later, dudes!

If you like this book, you might also like . . . Any book by Beverly Lewis
Personal Opinion: WOW! This is the best book I've read in a long time! I loved everything about it! The characters, the writing style, the plot, everything is perfection! I was crying, laughing, and sighing along with the characters. The writing style was really descriptive. Oke used this awesome phrase I've never heard before: Dad-burn. I am SO saying that in my everyday life now. What I also loved about it was that she wrote exactly how they spoke. So, when Marty and Clark say just, In the book it's put as "jest". Or your is "yer". So, Your cow is just fine was "Yer cow is jest fine." It's such an awesome book... I'm already begging my mom to take me to the library so I can get the sequel!
Rating: 10/10


Random tidbit: There was an AMAZING movie made a couple of years ago with Katherine Heigl... It's REALLY good. It was directed by Michael Landon, Jr. (Yes, Michael Landon's son. He directs the best inspirational movies..) So, go watch it!
