A question that has plagued mankind for generations...Or at least I'm sure it has. It's something I've been wrestling for the last few weeks. Another question: Do I even know what my dream is?

Why does it have to be so hard for an artist? I mean, don't get me wrong I think it's beautiful and romantic that an artist suffers for their work. The best things come from your pain and the most satisfaction from the things you fight for. But am I completely alone in this? Certainly not! Sometimes I wish it was easy. Simple. No strings attached. No "fall back plan." The real deal. Is that such an absurd request?

Some people are blessed with success. They can do what they love, and what makes them happy, and yet everything turns to gold. Those people give us hope. They make us believe that we a capable of obtaining such things. That everyone is able to "live the dream," you just have to want it....Is THAT the simplicity? Is that how we make it easy? Seriously?

Or is is difficult for the life of the indecisive? Is it because I haven't chosen a path? Well, excuse me for wondering what all the options are out there. And it's so hard to stay focused and driven when there is so much doubt and discouragement. Ah! There's the rub! Is that what they have that I don't?

Do we ever really rid ourselves of the doubt? Can we just jump blindly and KNOW that the outcome will be exactly what we hoped for? Because I'm the master of leaping and relying on a higher power. But is it the faith in ourselves that brings us to that place of success and bliss? God will lead us to His designed place for us, but do we influence the mold?

The many questions of a young and searching individual...that's all I can make of this journal. Words...inquisitive statements...and a longing for wisdom.

"I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Tell me...does this define the lives of many?....or should it? ]]> ~kit-kat-abk http://kit-kat-abk.deviantart.com/journal/16682738/ http://kit-kat-abk.deviantart.com/journal/16682738/ Fri, 01 Feb 2008 22:39:21 PST
8 pounds, 9 ounces, 20 inches of the most beautiful baby boy in the whole world. I'm not even a baby person. I love kids, but babies make me so nervous, but from the time my brother placed him in my arms I was hooked! He's named after my father and my brother insists his looks just like him(my father, that is).

Sorry to bore everyone. I know sometimes it's quite taxing to hear these stories....but I'm just busting with excitement! And I can't hold it in. (that's the revised version of that infamous Le Tigre song: I'm so excited and I just can hide it).

Thank you for putting up with my gushing. ]]> ~kit-kat-abk http://kit-kat-abk.deviantart.com/journal/16635194/ http://kit-kat-abk.deviantart.com/journal/16635194/ Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:08:21 PST
So, for all of those following my journals...I went to the audition! I didn't get the part, but that's okay...it was a national audition, so I'm not too upset! The fact that I took enough initiative to find out where the auditions are, look up bus shedules, go tothe location (Big City), walk in the downtown streets and audition in front of professional casting directors was such a HUGE step in my insignificant life! That's what made it all worth it! I'm a big girl now!

Thanks for the support Hobbeshugs812!! ]]> ~kit-kat-abk http://kit-kat-abk.deviantart.com/journal/16451414/ http://kit-kat-abk.deviantart.com/journal/16451414/ Thu, 17 Jan 2008 19:46:55 PST
Oh my goodness! The Sound of Music is making it's way to broadway again. I LOVE that musical, it happens to be one of my favourites, and has been so for a long time. When I was just a little kid, both of my sisters got to play Von Trapp children, but I wasn't able to, because I wasn't at the right age...it was devastating. I REALLY want to go audition, but I'm scared out of my mind and I don't really have any support...mostly because I didn't tell anyone.

I realize most people don't read journal entries, but I'm stumped! I really want to chase my passion, but I'm so bad at fighting for what I want. I'd rather let someone else do it.

The answer...I should do it. Right?...Oh, I don't know.

Won't someone just please tell me. I'm really good at taking direction. ]]> ~kit-kat-abk http://kit-kat-abk.deviantart.com/journal/16273483/ http://kit-kat-abk.deviantart.com/journal/16273483/ Sat, 05 Jan 2008 16:33:25 PST
Just thought I'd throw that out there and see if anyone bites....Maybe I just need to go to a celebration worth getting excited about.

Anyways, sure hope everyone else had a wonderful time. I'm sure you did...we artists know how to have a good time

Happy Holidays and so on and so forth...

I was just sick of seeing that long dorky one I had displayed for all to see. It took up way too much space. I'm sorry for those of you reading this and are slowly being lolled into a sleep due to boredom.

This is really more a note to myself, because I'll see it everytime I log in. I REALLY need to get back to my roots and start sketching again! I'll never improve if I never go back.

Thanks to all my watchers! You're awesome! Tell your friend

I digress....

I am to at this point state the rules of the game....if you do everything I say, and don't cheat, you'll live...Wait that's "Saw." Here they are:


"Start with the topic "6 weird things about yourself" and people who get tagged are suppose to write about these, as well as state this rule clearly. the person tagged is supposed to tag the next 6 people and list their names. also, the person tagged is supposed to leave a message on the main pages of the next 6 people tagged that says "you are tagged" and also ask them to read to read yours."


1. I like to believe that anyone can be an artist, singer, or dancer (whether they do it well or not is a different story...but any can to it, and it bothers me when people hide behind the excuse that they CAN'T do something) and although I paint, sketch, sing, act, dance and such I do not see myself as an artist of an kind. I refuse, and I don't know why.

2. It doesn't matter where I go...if I know everyone or no one....if I'm being and intravert or an extravert, I am made fun of...Something about me is just teasable.

3. I'm one of the only people I know that enjoys making a fool of myself and having others make me one.

4. I am not a neat freak by any means, but if I have a pressing assignment due or something of that nature I have to clean everything! And not just tidying, I mean a thorough, no stone unturned no room untouched blow out.

5. I truly contemplate that I was made for any era but this one. Put me in the 1800s, 1700s, even in BC or early AD.

6. Some/most of the coolest people I've come into contact with in my life are not in the double-digits yet. I don't know why, but kids can be some much more fun to hang out with. Maybe it's just because they haven't been tainted by today's society....yet.

So there are a few things you may have already known, if not....feel enlightened. It's sad that my first journal entry was only because someone told me to...Ha ha!
