Today
Haha! I have gotten good at posting often!! Let's hope it stays that way. :D So today I was woken up (by mom) at like 7 (so I could get to Musical Theater on time) and mom asks if I'm sure I want to go today. I took a really long time deciding, but concluded that it seemed like too much work to drive there (it's like 45 mins away), participate in class, and then go shopping. x-\ (emoji) So I said I'd sleep more and then stay with Ryan and Kurt while they (mom and dad) shop. At like 11, Kurt woke me up (he had a note from mom on his door saying that I was here so stay home and to wake me up when he got up) so we talked and joked for a while. Then Bob ran in, in his underwear (which was on sideways) but that's normal for the brothers. He was waving a note from his door that said the exact same thing as Kurt's. He said something like "I'm in charge according to this note so get out." Kurt said something like "Yeah right, look at the note on my door." So Bob did. Then they left my room and I got dressed. As I was walking out of mom's room (I brushed my teeth in there), Kurt made a disgusted face and told me to brush my hair (in a joking way of course). I had left my hairbrush in the kitchen and that was where I was headed so... Then Kurt, Bob, & I went to Panera and got sandwiches. :-) For the record, Kurt paid for mine (good-brother points!) ;). It was FA-REEZING! But this morning we drove with the windows down anyway. We were listening to this song and Bob and Kurt were thumping their heads. Kurt said some sort of threat (kidding) basically saying I should swing my head or else. :) So I did. It was a fun song anyway. When I started "head thumping" Bob started an exaggerated version where he flailed his whole body. It was hilarious! :D So I'm writing this and for some reason, everything I write today sounds dumb. Oh well. ;) I just looked up from writing and Bob had his face like 2 inches from mine. :D Haha! But then at 2 I went to a friend's party. It was super fun! It was at AMSE and we got to make silly putty and do the hair-standy-uppy thing (the big 'ol metal thing you touch and it makes your hair stand up). :-) So that was cool. <3 When we came home, Mom and Bob went to the grocery and Bob practiced driving stick (his new car is a stick-shift) and Kurt and I stayed home. We played the tank game on Wii Play. :) We haven't done that in forever and it was fun. :) Then I came to write this. Ryan is standing here with his jacket on, but no sleeves- just the hood on. :-) He said "I'm gonna play this song (he's holding a guitar), but I have to play it on my butt." So he twisted around and held the guitar on his butt and played a song. I literally LOLed. :D ;) Well, this post is long enough so....I'll write later!
If you are wondering why this whole post is in italics, the answer is simple- I just think it is pretty. ;)

Links
If you want to make sure the uncontrollable dancing thing is legit, Google something like "uncontrollable dancing event in france in 1500s" It works. :D
Other fun links (I think these are all appropriate but I wasn't careful about checking out the ads on the pages or re-watching videos):
Syrian singer (it's really good): https://www.youtube.com/watch?
You all know this... but I still had to put it in here....

Update on this week (it's about me of course) ;)
Things in bold are the interesting part(s)... :) In case you just want to read that part or something. :D
Here's another narcissistic post! Hurrah! So... On Friday, I didn't do anything special other than having a piano recital at seven o'clock PM. (Just to be exact.) That went WONDERFUL! I made a mistake or two but ultimately had fun. :-) When it really gets down to it, I like performing. I really enjoyed my Musical Theatre recital and think I might do a Junior Play-House thing. :D I played a song called "Humouresque" which none of you will have heard of because it was in my lesson book... Which is also relatively unheard of. ;) I also played Frozen Heart (from Frozen). I use too many smiley faces. I don't care. So anyway, I didn't have Musical Theatre on Saturday... :( But I did have to endure a lllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg car-trip to da middle of no where to look at a car for Bob! That would be the second weekend lost to car shopping for He Who Shall Not Be Named. And this is the only time he came... Third car, one was 30 mins away, the other was 4 hours and this one was near 4 hours. IT'S THE ONLY ONE HE CAME TO! Nerd. ;) He finally said this one was the one... Ryan found his soul automobile. :-) Then on Sunday I did basically nothing. :D On Monday I did school and had a piano lesson... Your average monotonous Monday (alliteration!). Then on Tuesday I had a voice lesson... On Wednesday I had ice-skating which was really fun. I got to see my friends Laure and Amelia (both of which who can view this blog- hey guys!). And lessons were good (though Laure would say different- drama queen! But I'm one too... So no offense.) ;). The weather has been beautiful lately! Except for today. X-P (emoji) Is this ugly rain supposed to stop soon? I hope so.... So then on Thursday (the most exciting... and tiring.... day [shout-out to Laure- Day! Get it??? What shall I sing toDAY? :D] of the week) sorry for going of on a tangent there guys. ;) Well, on Thursday... here's another long list..... (flash back thingy)
Comp II: Hmmmm we didn't do much. Just talked and stuff. I was sleepy again. :-) But it was exciting when she used a sentence from my report as an example. :) In a good way. The paper was about how a character from To Kill a Mockingbird and I are alike. The sentence was "Scout and I both posses a driving curiosity, churning and bubbling inside us, wishing with all it's heart to know more." She was like "See that makes we want to read the rest." I was so happy... :-)
Physical Science: Same thing as usual. :D (trying to shorten the post- I know when I see a big long one I don't want to read it... it's overwhelming!)
History Mystery: Here's where it gets interesting... This teacher is very fun... When we were learning about India, we got to class and she tells us they play cricket a lot in India. Then she says we're gonna go play cricket! So we learned how to play cricket. :-) Today she starts with something like this: "We are going to dance, even if you don't like to dance or know how, you can hop or something. Just keep moving- that's the only rule." But then she says we're gonna do the Cupid Shuffle and since I was one of the only like 3 people that knew it, I got to do it in front of a 40 kid class. On a stage thing. It was really fun! It was related to this event in history where people uncontrollably danced 'til they died (it's legit I promise).
Lunch: PIZZA DAY! (That's all I need to say- hey that rhymes!)
And a ton of other classes... Whatever. ;)

Today (Thursday the 25th)
Last Thursday was the 25th of September (not that you don't know that already). Because it is Thursday, I went to my home-school co-op (for those of you who aren't home-schooled, that is like going to school for a day but you get to pick your classes and don't have a homeroom). Thus the name of my co-op, Thursday Connection (I did not say the name was creative). ;) Here is my schedule for TC (the co-op) (I will add how the classes went today next to the class):
9-10AM English Comp II | We were discussing To Kill A Mockingbird (which we have finished) and talking about the next paper we will write (you take a picture of a pair of shoes and then write about a person you make up a fictional person who owned the shoes.) The class is in this tiny, tiny chapel and it was early (for me)... And warm... And it was dimly lit... And we were just sitting... So I felt vvveeerrrryyyy sssssslllllleeeeppppyyyyy..........
10-11AM Physical Science | Physical Science was good, we did what we usually do (do a worksheet and sometimes an experiment- not today though) but my friends/work partners were confused about an activity we were supposed to do... :)
11-12PM History Mystery | This is a class where we solve mysteries to learn about history- the name is fairly self-explanatory... Today we studied King Richard III and decided whether or not we thought he was a villain, as he is often portrayed. I of course, thought he was- I am naturally suspicious of people. *eyebrow wiggle and low, evil laugh*
12-12:30PM Lunch! | Lunch- hurrah!!!!!!! Except that the fact it is a school lunch, homeschool co-op or not. A mushy chicken sandwich, soggy bun, and surprisingly good cake made their way into my stomach today. Anyway, despite the less than mediocre food (some days its good!) talking with my friends was fun (and we actually managed to snag our own table today!).
12:30-1:30PM Modern World History | The teacher in this class is SO NICE ITS UNBELIEVABLE! I was supposed to memorize the Gettysburg Address, which I did. Then, I recited it for the teacher, so she gave me a brownie. :D We watched a Civil War video, and all the girls were encouraging the boys sexism. The boys were like "We'll tell you when to close your eyes, girls. Hehe." And then every time there was something bloody, I was like "YEAH!" along with the boys, and all the girls would be like "Uhhhh... Eww..." and look away. X-| (that was an emoticon) But... That class was fun. :D
1:30-2:30 Photoshop | Photoshop was pretty good... We learned some cool stuff but it seems we don't do enough, you know? It's like the class could be half as long and still be just as good. :-) But that was pretty good.
2:30-3:30 Choir | Yay- choir! We're doing a Christmas thing called "Carol of the Star", a song from Frozen (the one in the DVD menu that is like "na, na, na, HEY, a na..." does that make sense? Oh well.), and The Grinch. Which is a jazz version and downright awesome. :) :-) :D
That was it but I got to hang out with one of my really close friends afterwards and then rest the rest of the day. :) I had a headache. ;)
Sorry to make this SUPER long! See ya soon! Please remind me to post more often! Email me on Sat to remind me?? ;) :D
P.S. I have a piano recital tomorrow night- wish me luck! Urgh my eyes are hurting- been on the computer too long!

Introduction
Hello, readers (all of which are family and friends)! Here is an intro to my blog. :) So, I know what you're thinking... "Seriously? 3rd blog!?" Then you might sigh. ;) But this one does not have a limited subject (well the subject is basically my life which isn't really limited...) which will give me some incentive to keep it up and make it less hard to find things to post.
Did you figure out the log in?
My other blogs have been public so I wasn't sure how to do the whole "limited readers" thing. Basically, this blog is about me. Yes, that is incredibly narcissistic but I don't care (if we are being perfectly frank). I also thought this would be a good way to keep up with family I don't see a lot. :D I will post things about life, me, my friends, and anything relating to the main subject (me!). Oh, and info for the people with Gmails- you can comment on posts and please do! I told mom I wanted to make this self-centered blog and so then she showed me the Toby Keith song, "I Wanna Talk About Me"... It was hilarious! Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading! (Please tell me if it gets too narcissistic and boring.)
<3,
Your Self-Absorbed Author, Kacie Faith
P.S. The name is "Um It's Complicated" for several reasons. One is that that is often what I say to people when they ask about things, two: it is my Instagram username (for the aforementioned reason), and three I like it and so does one of my brothers (the others I haven't asked).
