Hi everybody! It's fall! Time for the smell of burning leaves and pumpkin spice lattes! Lately I've been skating a ton and watching Netflix. :D I finished Psych over the summer (it was awesome, I'm not over it!) and now I'm watching Doctor Who. I really like it. :) For those of you who don't know, I got my braces off on my 13th birthday this summer! I'm happy about that. ;) I've been doing school since late August, just kind of wrapping up eight grade. I'm starting an online high school this week or next week. :-) We got a new dog! Her name is Peaches. She's super sweet, but very hyper and quite ugly. :'D Skating wise, I'm in FS 4 now! I only have 2 things to pass to get into five! Skating has been super fun lately. I'm working on my sit spin, double loop, and my absolute favorite thing is my flip. Ultimately, I've decided that my life has a purpose; skate, watch Netflix, eat, and read. Done. LIFE. COMPLETE. :'D
All my brothers are moving away! I'm so sad! Bob moved to Canada for grad school (he'll be gone for at least a year and I'll only get to see him at holidays!), Kurt is living in the condo (it's only about 45 minutes from the house, but he never comes home! Silly Kurt!), and Taylor is going to get an apartment near Kurt.
I can't wait for Scorch Trials and Mockingjay part 2! (You didn't think you'd get out of this post without talking about books, did you?) The books were both so good! The first Maze Runner movie was really bad, but I still have hopes for this one! I think we all know Mockingjay is gonna be pretty darn good.
Well, enjoy life! Just get to fall break! (I don't get one... Oh well!)

Summer
How's everybody's summer? I've started the summer session of JSA (skating) which means the schedule changed, and some of my friends aren't there. :-( +gabby maine Hopefully I will see them again in the fall!! Summer makes me feel really nostalgic. It's weird like things change in the other seasons, traditions shift and their different each year. But summer never changes. Summer is like a time vacuum where you can return to the past. Makes me remember everything! Playing Nintendo DS on the way to the beach with my cousins :'D. If you asked half the young kids now, they would be like "Nintendo DS? What do you mean there isn't a camera? Where's the app store on this? Ugh it weighs like 3 pounds!" Makes me feel old. You know, I have a generation one IPod touch (it doesn't really work anymore) that doesn't even have a camera. I know any adults who read this aren't impressed, but still... It's weird. I don't feel that old. And +Emma Dallas is about to turn 16! She just got her own car (she named it Lola.) Seems like yesterday that those weird hair feather things were really popular. (You guys remember those right? They were feathers, usually a solid color with black stripes, and they would like use a clip thing and stick them in your hair. They always fell out.)
-=+=-
You'll all be pleased to know I'm stilled equally obsessed with books. :P That's not going away. Good try. ;) I do, however, have some new obsessions: Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding. I'm already obsessed with the TV show Once Upon A Time (We just finished season 4) and I am newly obsessed with the shows Sleepy Hollow and Psych.
-=+=-
I'm drawing a blank on anything more to write... Probably because I'm listening to Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do" and I'm singing it loudly and off key. (Poor mom- I'm wearing headphones, so she can't even hear the actual music!)
-=+=-
So I get really bored in the summer sometimes... I have two days I week I have stuff to do all day (Monday and Wednesday.) And I have one or two easy chill things on Friday and Saturday. But all the other days... Nothing to do... Oh well though! It's actually kind of nice to have nothing to do. Anyway, have an awesome week or whatever! Leave some comments for me...
-=+=-
Yours,
Kacie Faith Kress
(I've started a new obsession where I'm IN LOVE with my name. It's weird. I'm weird. THE WORLD IS WEIRD DEAL WITH IT.)

FoxFace
Here's a Hunger Games Fanfic I wrote. :) you'll need to have read at least the first Hunger Games to get it probably. :)
It's from the view of FoxFace, the female District 5 tribute. I didn't finish it. :D
FoxFace
I will not kill people. That is not who I am. I'm no good at it anyway, I am a small and weak girl. However, I am good at sneaking, stealing, and hiding. I am cunning. Not strong, stealthy. I do not think I will win these games. But I will try. All I want is to return home to my older brother, Rob, whom has short, orange hair like mine. He has my father's eyes though- green like a lake. Mine are ice-blue, rimmed in a line of deep, but not rich in color, blue. I am not impressive. I'm not strong, particularly beautiful, or charming. My poor stylist. I was dressed as, well I'm not sure what it was. The crowd did not notice me. They only noticed the district twelve tributes. I watched the girl. I see in her a semblance of me, but with more stubbornness and secretly, more hurt. She is quiet. Quiet is a sign of hurt. She hides something, I can tell.
As I train in the tribute center, I continue to watch the girl. I've developed a bit of an obsession with her, I suppose. She does not think that she is beautiful. She does not know that she is strong. I watch her. She hides her skill; I believe that it is something with a bow and arrow. She will glance at the other tributes trying the bows and smile as if she knows something they don't. Which of course, she does.
I hurl into the porcelain potty with all my might. I repeat this process three times. How weak of me, I think, to be puking out of nerves before the games. Well, nerves and all the Capitol food. What if I die tomorrow? Who knows, maybe I will. The male tribute from my district walks in. He sees me there, leaning over the toilet. He makes a bit of a tsk tsk noise and helps me up. I know him. He's seventeen, barely six months older than me. I have the misfortune of still holding the title, "sixteen" though. He has chocolate brown hair that's long, but not too long (modeled after Percy Jackson/dude in 17 again/dude in warm bodies) and nice, sea colored blue eyes that always twinkle mischievously, but give off a comforting warmth. I'm embarrassed to be found in a moment of weakness, especially when he seems fine, and is helping me even! "Aren't you nervous?" I ask him after weakly thanking him for helping me. He laughs lightly, "Yes! In fact, I envy the fact that you were able to empty your stomach! Mine just spins in circles." Now it's my turn to laugh. "What strategies did Johanna give you?" Johanna is our mentor. I've always secretly admired her. She used trickery and female wiles, to some extent, to win the games. Pretending she was weak, then striking out with unbelievable force!? Genius! I wish I was like her- strong- strong enough to even carry an axe. "Not much." I reply. He nods in agreement, "Not too much help, is she?" "No..." He smiles again. Why is he smiling so much? Is he not afraid? "So, who are you betting on?" He inquires. "I don't have any money to bet." I reply. "Oh, I didn't mean literally. Just who do you think will win?" "Oh..." I chew my lip. The girl. The girl from District 12. I think she will win. But what will he think if I say that? District 12 never wins.... "The girl from District 12." If I'm going to die, I don't want to die a liar. "Ahh.. Wise choice. Personally, I'm betting on the boy from eleven." I smile. He made a much better choice than me. "But the girl," he continues, "she is very smart. And I think she's hiding her skill." Suddenly I'm jubilant. He observes! Like me! He has noticed the same thing! It's a treat to have my hypothesis validated. "I thought the same thing!"
My heart screams to be relieved of its utter agony. My hands shake and my fingers are numb. "12, 11, 10, 9..." The games. I'm in the games.

Heyyyy
Herrrro. Going to try and write on this blog more... Oh look! Kids, that's what we call an "empty promise".
Anger- Get 😡 to 😄
Feb 15, 2015
I wrote an entire helpful blog post about anger, note I was angry when I wrote it. Then my phone died in the middle of the post and deleted the whole thing so
Diodncvkskdofoxjwjdixiwidjcidjfjdjdkxjhjusjcosjxjdjsjdjxhdjdiwpzofosjciskxjdjdjdj
Thank you for allowing me that. Anyway, we all get angry. Stop reading articles about anger and deal with it. Bye.
Fine............. Ways to cope with anger:
1. Use energy. Exercise or do something like focus on writing a story or something like this. Email me it and I'll put it here!
2. Spend time with someone who makes you laugh or, if they aren't available at the moment, watch a funny video or something.
3. Breathe. Go somewhere quiet and focus on the things around you- smells, sights, etc.
4. If it is a person you are angry with, write an entire email or letter to them about the reasons you're angry. Reread and revise said letter. Delete it. Let this be a symbol of release. Note, I got that from an app. Not my idea ;)
5. I hate it when people say "let it go" "forget about it" because that's just dumb. They're saying it because it isn't them that's mad. So please don't give that advice. On the other hand, I guess it works for some people. Maybe do give that advice? Alright now I'm confused.
So yeah.
Bye.

Do do dooo dooo da dooo diddle dee
Well, let's all admit I'm terrible with blogs. I never post and never post anything interesting. :'D So............................................................................................................................................................................ Yeah I got nothin'. Well, I'll talk about me. So, I've moved up in Ice-skating to Junior Skating Academy. :-) It's really hard because it's late Fridays and Thursdays. It's a 40 minute practice, a 45 minute lesson, and a 30 minute work out that destroys me. It's really fun though. :) I'm still obsessed with YA dystopian novels :'D. I know you're all waiting for the day I don't say that. :) I'm really into Minecraft right now, since I downloaded the computer version. I'm bored. The only thing on is a Hallmark channel movie.... *sigh* Hallmark movies: "I'm in love! I'm getting married! Oh no!!!! Something went wrong! I can't get married! This is HORRIBLE!!!! Oh wait, never mind... Everythings fine! I'm in love and I'm getting married AGAIN! Yay!.... And they all lived unrealistically happily ever after..." I'm also hungry.................... Hmmmmm.... This is a horrible blog post... Well, I'm gonna write some Legend (a dystopian YA series) fan fiction. Bye! :)
