My Future

For the longest time I used to think to myself that I was going to go to a University. I wanted to go somewhere like Harvard or Princeton. Now that I am a Junior I have to start looking at colleges that I would like to go to. Next year I am supposed to start applying to the colleges I like. The only problem is that this year I haven’t really looked at a lot of colleges. Now that this year is almost I don’t know that I want to be when I grow up and get out of high school. I keep saying that I’ll figure it out someday but that someday is coming up faster than I ever thought. I’m looking for colleges I like, but you can’t pick out a good college if you don’t know what you’re going to college become. I always wanted to do something new. Last year I wanted to design my own clothes. This year I am more interested in history and marketing and owning my own business. But what happens if I go to college and get a major in Business then I find out that I want to be a teacher? It is so confusing. I want to do something I am always going to love doing. And people are always changing. In 5 or 6 years what happens if I just don’t like my job anymore?

We Won!!!

I am so happy that we won! We get to stay! I fought so hard for this! I get to graduate here! I am so excited! This means that I don’t have to move! This means that a lot of people get to stay here! I am glad that I was here to experience this. Being here defending our school has taught me so much. I learned that it’s ok to stand up for what you believe in. it’s ok to be different. It’s ok to stand up and say “No! This shouldn’t be like this.” If this school had become a pre-k through 6^th grade school I would have been very upset. I don’t want to leave this school. I have been to 4 different high schools and this school is the first one that I have been really involved with. I am glad that I moved here. If not then I would still be a prissy brat. I have learned so much here. I have learned how to protest, how to own my own business, how to get around things, how to fight for what I want, and how to be me. The real me. This school means so much not only to me but to a lot of the students here. I knew a lot of middle schooler’s that didn’t want to have this place close down. They fought right by my side. They stood up and did what I thought I never could. I love this place. I love Mt. Tipton!

Our Messed Up World

Our world is so messed up! We have the most messed up government, law enforcement, and presidency! Our government is stupid because they shouldn’t be able to invade our privacy and tell us how to live in school, at work, and at home! Being a 16 year old girl I love my privacy and I intend to keep it. Our law enforcement is stupid because they are bias! No judge will ever admit it but they are very bias! A white boy kills his little sister and he gets 6 months in a federal prison with NO parole, and counseling. A white man that molested and raped his daughter for 6 years got 5 years in federal prison and 2 years of parole. A black man that stole money from a cash register and injured the clerk got 15 to life in federal prison with no chance of parole! How messed up is that! Then our presidency is just stupid all together. The president is supposed to be there for his country. Our president stated in a book that he wrote that if we were under attack and he had the choice to save us or join the other side he would join the other side and leave us defenseless. He would feed us to the dogs. Then his wife HATES America! She only does what she does to get publicity! She wants nothing to do with America. Isn’t it ironic that he husband is the president of America?

How

I hate stupid people. Not the ones who are blonde but the ones who are really stupid. I almost lost the one thing that matters the most to me this weekend. If he would have died I don't know what I would have done. I wouldn't be the same person if he died. Things would be so different. My life wouldn't be the same without him. What really hurts the most is that he was so close to not being mine anymore. I can handle a lot of things. I handled my dad getting put in jail. I handled my step dad being kicked out. I'm handling their divorce. I'm handling school. I handled being alone for 15 years. But if I lost him. I wouldn't be able to deal with something like that. After I found out about the crash, I cried. I hadn't heard from him and then hearing that he was in a really bad accident just broke my heart. Things will never be the same. The accident took part of me. No I wasn't in it and I'm sure that the ones who were in it are probably more affected then me. But did the driver even think about anyone that was in the car? Did she even think about her speed? Did she think about what she was doing? Does she understand how completely lucky they are? They could have died. Then what? Her parents go and apologize to everyone? That won't make it better. She could have hurt more people then she had. If anyone had died, she would be blamed for it. Losing someone you love is painful. I know for a fact how hurtful it is. When my great grandmamma died, it almost killed me. If I had to live without him...it would ruin me...I would become like those prissy girls who don't talk to you because they think that their so cool. I would be so prissy even they would come talk to me. My heart would be broken and no one could ever fill it. It will never be full without him. He pulled me out of the dark and got me to talk to people. He made me the person I am today. I love him and the last thing I want is to lose him. I just want him to be safe and happy.

Funny Thoughts

Do fish get thirsty? If everything you say is a lie, are you telling the truth, or lying? If we’re closer to death every day of our lives, is time really on our side? Why do some products state, “Not recommended for children over 12 years of age” - aren’t people over 12 years of age not children? Why is Greenland made of ice and Iceland made of green grass? Doesn’t expecting the unexpected make the unexpected become the expected? How come wrong numbers are never busy? If all the nations in the world are in debt, who’s got all the money? Why do some directions for medicine read, “Only apply to infected area” - where else would you apply it? What color is a chameleon on a plaid shirt? Why is it when you transport something by car it’s called a shipment but when you transport by ship its called cargo? How come you never read about a psychic winning the lottery? Is it really necessary for the Postal Department to print the words, “Post Office will not deliver without postage” on your package?  Why do they call the airport a terminal if flying is supposed to be safe? Why is bra singular and panties plural? Why is the man who handles all your money is called a broker? Why isn’t the word, phonetic - spelled the way it sounds? Did Adam and Eve have navels? Does anyone ever vanish with a trace? Why are those “easy open” food packages never easy to open? How come when socks come out of the dryer, there’s only one of each? Why do gas stations advertise their prices with a 9/10 at the end - does that really help sell more gas? Why do restaurants offer appetizers - don’t you already have an appetite if you’re there? What happened to the other 56 varieties of Heinz 57 sauce? Why do some moist towelette packages come with instructions that read, “Open package and use” - what else would you do with them? Why do some people feel the need to say, “Know what I’m saying?” after everything they say? How did James Bond know if his martini was shaken and not stirred? Why do people who sing the loudest tend to be the ones who are the most off key? Why do shampoo instructions read, “Rinse and repeat” - do they think we missed our head the first time? If one person is a size 52 and the other is a size 2 can one size really fit all? 

Spring Break

Spring Break was pretty fun. I left for Bakersfield, California the Thursday we got out. It takes 6 1/2 hours to get from my house to Bakersfield. When I got there I really thought my mom was lying to me. I honestly didn't think that this was the place where I had once lived. I lived in Bakersfield from the time I was one until I was eleven. When I left it was so small. Now it is more like a mini L.A. It kind of scares me how much a small town can change in five years. Things are so busy there. Now that I actually got to see almost all of Bakersfield it really has changed. I ran into people I remember from kindergarten that would never do anything wrong because they were so innocent. My old friend just had a baby and she had always said that she wasn’t going to have sex until she was married. My cousin smokes and as a kid he used to say that he wouldn’t ever smoke and now he’s a chain smoker. A girl that I have known since she was born is now a slut. Things have changed so much over there. What is really funny is that growing up everyone thought that I would be all those things.

Our School

I think it’s stupid that they want to close our school down! This is our school too. It’s stupid! If this school closes down I have to go on Home Study. And I cannot work on the computer. I have difficulties when it comes to working on a computer. I have to have a teacher there to help me. I have learned more in the 10 or 11 months I have been here then the three years I was in Las Vegas! This school is really good. Plus we won’t find really good teachers like Mrs. Vallin, Mr. Matthews, Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Wickerd, or Mrs. Byrne! They are really good teachers. I have done the whole big city big school thing and it’s not as great as it’s cracked up to be. You don’t get that one-on-one interaction with the teacher as you do here at Mnt. Tipton. I love this school. The only thing I don't like a whole lot is Mr. Victory. He doesn't even believe in us. How are we supposed to fight to keep our school if our principal doesn't even believe in us? He thinks that this school can't offer us things that Kingman High School can. Well I don't want to go to Kingman. This school must be doing something better than Kingman because we received a grade. Kingman got a C and Mnt. Tipton got a B. That tells me that Mnt. Tipton is a better school than Kingman. No one likes to be the new kid in a new town in a new school your senior year. And no one wants to take 2 hour bus ride just to go to school. For people that live in Temple Bar it would be a 3 hour ride to school! I am not letting this place go without a fight. Not just for me but also for my little brothers. David will be in 7th grade and Jared will be in 6th grade. This affects them too. If we do loose and it gets shut down then I guess we are going down with a bang. Because there is no way that I will do anything less than that.

Kimmie Cole's Crazy Question Day Continued...

If you are asked to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and you’re the main witness, what happens if you say "no"? If a person dies and then springs back to life, do they get their money back for the coffin? How far east can you go before you're heading west? Can you cry under water? If a man alone in the woods said something would a woman still say he was wrong? Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? Why did Sally sell seashells on the seashore when you can just pick them up anyway? Why is it that if someone yells "duck" they are helping you, but if they yell "chicken" they are insulting you? You know the signs on restaurant doors? No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service? What if someone goes in with No Pants? Would the restaurant still have to serve them? Why when people ask you "what three things would you bring with you on a desert island?" no one ever replies, "A BOAT"? Why are elderly people often called "old people" but children are never called "new people"? How does Freddy Kruger wipe his butt?  Why doesn't broccoli come in a can? Can you slam a revolving door? How young can you be, but still die of old age? What would happen if you found a four-leaf-clover under a ladder? Can a cross-eyed teacher control his pupils? Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?  If Winnie the Pooh was civilized enough to keep his honey in jars, why did he eat it off his hands? Surely he had spoons? If mirrors need light to work, what happens if you put night vision goggles on in the dark and look at a mirror? What happens if every team in the NFL goes 8-8? What shape is the sky? If a Jewish person goes to court and is asked to put their right hand on the Bible, do they use a Torah instead? Why is it written "May contain traces of peanuts or other kind of nuts" on peanut butter jars. Are people stupid enough not to realize it themselves?

I won't apologize for who i am

I am so sick of everyone trying to tell me who i should or shouldn't be! If you don't like who i am well to bad! I am who I am and everyone is going to have to deal with it! I'm not going to change my image or my attitude because some people don't like it. I don't have time to listen to people who sit there and think that they are my mom and can tell me what they want when they want. Well I am almost 17 I don't care what other people say. I'm just going to do what I want and not want not what others think I want. I'm not some perfect little Mormon girl that everyone can boss around. I'm actually a person that can think for herself. I'm tired of old people telling me who I’m going to wind up like. I'm not going to wind up like some girls dead sister. I'm going to be me. Tall, skinny, silly, funny, loud, rude, pretty, happy, and blue/green eyed for the rest of my life. I don’t care if anyone likes it or not. This is my life. I will live it however I want to.

Growing up

When I was 5 they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said I wanted to be a princess. When I was 10 they asked me again and I said I wanted to be a model. Now that I’m almost 17 and everyone keeps asking me what I want to be. Some people tell me to be a model and others tell me to follow my heart and do what I want to do. But for the first time in my life, I don’t know what I want to be when I’m out of high school… but the best job I can think of being a mother. I don’t want to be one right now. However, if I did wind up becoming pregnant I wouldn’t drop out or get an abortion or put the baby up for adoption or anything. One I don’t want to drop out because I’m a senior next year and that would be terrible to drop out when I’m almost done. Two the fact that I would be killing a future president, teacher, war hero would be terrible. The fact that I’m killing something would haunt me forever. Three I would grow to love the baby and putting it up for adoption would be terrible for me. Bringing a life into this world then just giving it away would just kill me.

The Way The World Works

This world is so hypocritical! People take one look at you and automatically judge you. It doesn't matter who you are you always judge people before you know them whether or not you intend to judge them or not is irrelevant. In this world we are all about publicity. However, publicity includes invasion of any type of privacy you have. Like, celebrities get mad when they have their privacy invaded but if you’re gonna do stupid stuff and get attention then that’s your own fault. And another thing is that it's ok for a guy to for a girl at least 40 years younger than him, but if a girl gets with a guy and she's even a year older than him then that’s not ok. It's so stupid this world has gone down the drain pipe. We are completely screwed. People are killing each other. They’re killing friends and family members because of pure pressure but if Kimmie had the choice to kill someone she wouldn’t be able to do it. Everyone says this is a dog eat dog world, but it doesn't have to be. It’s all because people talk too much crap and think that it's ok. Then they sit there wondering what they did wrong when they retaliate. Stupid people bug the crap out of Kimmie! They act stupid thinking that they're being funny when really they're only embarrassing their selves.

Random Things That Go Through Kimmie's Head Daily

"I forgot to do my Geometry homework... Ahhh I’ll do it later.... Hey I wonder what’s for lunch... OOOOO what’s for dinner?! Oh yeah I have to make dinner…. Hmmmm I’m hungry… Lunch time should come faster…  Crap I forgot How to Kill a Mocking Bird at home....

I want to go home.... I'm hungry again.... FOOD!!.... Ahhh bell ring! Yay I think I’m done with this post... Nope not yet I forgot to add a very extremely amazing Yay… Yayyyyyyyy ok now I’m done." Kimmie thought to herself during the day.

Kimmie Cole's Beautiful Distraction

Kimmie's beautiful distraction is a guy named Pooh Bear. He is the nicest sweetest guy ever! He is really freaking tall. Kimmie is 5"8. She has these 5" high heels and he is still taller than her in them! It's insane how tall he is. Kimmie love's him though. This weekend they are going to the movies to see the new movie "The Woman in Black". This is going to be their first date. They have been going out for almost four months now and they haven't been a date once. So Kimmie is very excited for this. To be honest Kimmie can't remember ever being on a date. Kimmie can't believe that she's writing this for everyone in her class to see. Momma has always taught her that it's ok to be a little bit different, but anyone that knows Kimmie knows that she isn't like other people. Not that it’s a bad thing, but sometimes she wishes she wasn't so awkwardly different. All her life she has been made fun of for being so different. That is why Kimmie loves Pooh Bear. He doesn't care about any of that. He loves her for her not for who she is or isn't. Pooh Bear can do what Kimmie never could. He can see past all her flaws and see her as the person she really is.

Kimmie Cole's Worst Fear

Kimmie's biggest fear is quick sand. But it's not the kind of quick sand that your thinking of. The quick sand Kimmie's talking about is life. You think things are going good then one thing goes wrong. Then another, and another. Until soon enough your up to you neck in quick sand. You can't move. You can't think. You can't do anything but stand there and let the quick sand cover you till your gone. And the whole time you just wish someone would help just a little bit. But no one cares enough to help. Everyone just sees a skinny little nobody dissapearing into darkness. That is Kimmie's worst fear. Sure there's still little things that scare her like spiders, and snakes. But when you get caught in quick sand all you can do is think "this is it. I'm going to die." Sometimes there is someone to save you and get you out of the quick sand. Everyone has a special personin their life whether it be mom, dad, brothers, sisters, boyfriends, girlfriends. Try to keep them close to you because you never know when you'll fall into quick sand. You could land in quick sand and not even know it until it's almost to late. You may never know your in quick sand until someone pulls you out of it. Don't let life shut you out.

Kimmie Cole's trip to California

On Thursday January 12th, 2012 Kimmie Cole and her family went to Bakersfield California. She got to see her cousins Meanie, Shorty, Curly, and Cutie. She saw Cutie and she looked almost EXACTLY how Kimmie did when she was a kid! Meanie looked like a little cholo! Shorty hasn't changed at all. He still short. The last time Kimmie saw Curly he was in diapers! He’s not in them anymore though. She also saw he best friend and her little brother. Her name was Undecided and Nasty Boi. Undecided told all of her friends about Kimmie. She also told them that Kimmie has been her friend Undecided was in diapers! Her little brother Nasty Boi was all over the place and he likes to rub his butt across the floor. Kimmie liked it just being her, Angry Bird, Bugzee, and Momma. There was no fighting, no yelling, no screaming, and no one being mean. It was nice just being us. Our small little family again. Kimmie wishes that it could stay like that. But who is she kidding. That’s never going to happen. But a girl can dream can't she? Well Kimmie says good bye and have a good morning!

Kimmie Cole's home

It is never boring at my house. With four brothers there is always something new and exciting happening. Like yesterday for example Angry Bird was playing basketball. He tripped over his friend Butt Head. When he hit the floor a guy from the other team, Mumbojumbo, stepped on his arm! Angry Bird was crying his eyes out because it hurt so bad. His brother, Fire Crotch, wanted to beat up Mumbojumbo but his girlfriend Z said not to because he would get kicked off the basketball team. After wards we all went to the hospital. It was Fire Crotch, Angry Bird, Tony the Tiger, Bugzee, Momma, Dad, and Kimmie all in the car. We were at the hospital for about 20 minutes when we started getting hungry. So Momma sent Kimmie and Dad to go get some Taco Bell. While they were waiting for the food Kimmie's hands started to turn a light blue color. When they got back Momma asked Kimmie what she did to make her hands turn blue. Kimmie didn't know. So while they were there they got her hands checked out. They couldn't figure out what was wrong. So at 11:30 they started to head home. By the time they got back to their house it was 12:30 at night! Everyone was super tired. especially Kimmie. She had only gotten an hour of sleep the night before because of her puppy and she would get only 5 hours of sleep because she had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning. But she is a strong girl. She takes what gets thrown at her because she knows it makes her stronger at heart. Well that's all for Kimmie Cole...for now!
