New And Improved~

August 30, 2011

Welcome to the NEW and IMPROVED [Insert Catchy Name Here] blog! I personally love my new background~ And notice the cute little MATCHING butterfly cursor? I searched and searched for a butterfly one, to match the theme ya know? And well this little bugger popped up and I was all 'Oh shunk. That was made for me.' No joke, it's perfect. I'm still working on a banner...I have one in the process of being made, just need to change the text and work on centering and etc. But it's coming~ :) And my little blinkie thingy with the butterfly~ :) Geez I have worked hard this morning/afternoon. And I'm impressed~ My blog looks so nice and organized and appealing to the eye ^w^ 

Thoughts? :)

Oh! And I may post a second post...but I have a tight schedule today so it may not get done and also I have to take into the fact of the horrible weather. D:

It's The Littler Things In Life

August 29, 2011

As a kid, teen, or even as an adult, have you ever opened the biggest and prettiest present under the tree first? Just because it was large and extravagant? And left the smaller, plainer gifts for last because they weren't? Have you ever opened the largest and found nothing but balled up newspapers? And then in the smaller present found that new toy or diamond ring? 


I remember...it's always a tradition at my house to open one present from under the tree on Christmas Eve before we went to bed...and one time when I was about nine years old, I saw a huge wrapped box. Everything else was medium sized or small. Me, being the little kid I was, seeing the big box, decided that was the one I wanted to open that night. So my mom dragged it out from under the tree and set it in front of me, pointing a a video camera at me as I excitedly ripped the paper off of it. After I ripped away the paper and tore the tape from across the top of the box, I opened the flaps and peered in. At first I saw tons of balled up newspapers. I just thought 'hey its under the papers!' I took fistful after fistful of newspapers out of the box until I reached the bottom. I thought something was wrong, maybe mom forgot to put the present in. Or maybe I missed it {but the box was empty..? Idek. xD} so I turned the box upside down and shook...nothing. I looked through the papers. Nothing. I sure learned a lesson that night...don't be greedy and go for the largest, most extravagant gift when a smaller, better gift was right in front of me. And I was living it. Life is a gift within itself. 


Enjoy the smaller things in life. You don't need your own theater in your home to be happy, when you can stay home and rent a movie with some friends. You don't need millions of dollars and tons of friends who only like you for your wealth when you can be poor and have a nice circle of friends who like you for who you are. You don't need an overpriced, purebred pet when you can save an animal's life at the local shelter. You don't need money to be happy. You just need to wake up and smell the roses. You need to spread your wings and fly. You need to pull over to a dirt road somewhere, roll the windows down, and drive. Letting the wind blow through your hair. The wheels leaving a trail of dust behind you. 


The little things...
You don't have to be on the go all the time, on a nice day just go lay down in the grass and watch the clouds... At night, lay down and watch the stars twinkle, think 'Wow. Life is great.' 

Haters are gonna hate, but ignore them. They just don't understand that a home-made beaded bracelet that a child gave you is worth more than their diamond studded bracelet. 


Still don't see how little things are worth more than expensive, bigger things? 
Animals do. Look at cats, they may have a perfectly good, comfy kitty bed not even 2 feet away from them, but they still insist on sleeping in that empty drawer or that newspaper someone left on the floor or that old towel in the corner. Look at dogs, they may have an expensive talking, indestructible, re-enforced toy, but let them find a piece of cardboard or a stick and they'll go nuts. 

Teamwork FTW

Look at children. They may have a toy box stuffed full of toys, but give them a cardboard box and they'll be happy for weeks, imagining it's a house or a racecar or even a rocketship. They'll have adventures that are worth more than any Fisher Price toy. Give a child the empty tube from a paper towel roll and they'll use it as a telescope or a microphone. 

See now how the little things in life are great? One day, when you get older, ten years down the road, you'll think back to when you were a kid making things for your parents, blowing the fuzzies off of a dandelion, finding pictures in the clouds, dancing in the rain, splashing in mud puddles. Looking back to your teenage years, driving down a dirt road, windows rolled down, wind blowing your hair around, music blaring and singing along. Your adult years, receiving a flower (even though it's just a weed) from a grinning child,  smelling the roses in a garden. Those are memories you'll never get back, but you cherish. Those are memories that some people won't have because they never cherished the smaller things in life. This is where the smaller things turn into something bigger. Because memories are worth a lifetime. You'll never get them back, you can never change them. 


And that is what I leave with you guys today~ Enjoy the smaller things in life, they'll be worth way more to you emotionally than any material thing will ever be worth. Make memories to last a lifetime~ :)


Oh! Before I go, welcome new follower~ :) Up to nine :D

*cues music* 

Guess who's back? Back again? KayKay's back! Tell a friend!

Guess who's back! Guess who's back! A nuh nuh..back, back, back back. A nuh nuh, back, back, back, back! xD  

~My version of Without Me by Eminem~ (in case you all were wondering) 

Wheeee! I'm back everyone~ And I have some exciting news! Y'all know how I said that since my school is starting late and all that they were taking away our free Fridays? Well, they're only taking away 2 Fridays a month until January, so I will still be able to post here a couple times a month~ :) 

Also, since I've had time off-line for the past week...I've been trying to think of an amazing topic...but alas nothing came to me. Until now. I just thought of something that is post-worthy xD 

A second post is coming shortly for that topic ^^

This post was just a 'SQUEE! KayKay's Back! Wheeee!' type of post...just to let

Really U.S? You Irk Me. -______-'

August 25, 2011

Sorry that I haven't posted since Monday...I've kind of been grounded/ restricted from the net for a week...and well since I have Wi-Fi and my iPod hasn't been taken away...I can post today :) But the next time you'll hear from me will be Monday :/ 

Now I was watching the news yesterday...I don't usually do this...but well I was tracking Hurricane Irene because well it's supposed to be a doozie. And well the news caster lady person said something and I was all *jaw drop* WTF. 

Obviously, from my understanding, psychiatrists and shrinks and all are now trying {or maybe it's already recently been passed? o.o} to make pedophilia be a mental illness...and therefore it cannot be classified as a crime. And therefore people who are like that won't get fired from their jobs, but instead have a mental analysis and then they're free to go. And did I mention, they cannot go to jail for that crap?!?!?! I mean really?!?!? If the USA actually changes on how they view pedophilia and actually passes it as a 'mental illness' then the government is more cracked up than I already thought it was. I mean really? That's just S.I.C.K...SICK. Kids tend to trust people more easily then say a teen or young adult would. And you can't just take advantage of that. That's wrong. That kid will be scarred for life...and if that sick person gets away with being diagnosed for having a mental illness... *shakes head* now that's effed up. That's really effed up. 

I mean if that gets passed...are kids ever going to safe again? Like really really safe? I highly doubt it...and that's sad. The country will never be treated the same either. But I'm not worried about how others view the USA...I'm worried about the kids. Ya know? I mean if it gets passed and people see, "oh hey. If I do that, I'm not getting into trouble or be thrown in jail...oh hey free happy meds from the shrink for finding a mental illness! Wheeee." It's sad, but that's how it'll be. And the country will be chaotic...scratch that...MORE chaotic than it already is.  

And well that's my day's rant. It just irks me. -__________-'

I hope to God the psychiatrists and shrinks and all don't push the issue on changing the views on ...that... because that just shows how much they care for the children of America. *shakes head* 

At first, I believed I heard the woman news caster wrong...so I googled it on my phone...and that's when I saw I heard her right. And it's sick. And wrong. And morally wrong. Where are the morals anymore!?!?!? Gah.

And now I must leave you all~ x.x 

I shall return on Monday morning, if all goes right... ^_^'

And...yeah. I felt I needed to rant on that...if only I was 18 and could vote and actually have a say in crap. But no...I'm a minor and my view on political shizz doesn't matter to anyone. Well you know what?!? My opinion does so count...not in the eyes of the government...but in my own eyes, I feel that everyone's opinion on political issues counts. That's the only way our voice can be heard. Gr,. 

And now I really have to go xD KayKay will not bore you with political opinions and crap xD

I Believe In Diamonds. Do You?

August 22, 2011

"You're a diamond in the making."

Some people believe in fairies, unicorns, and dragons.

Some believe in witches, wizards, vampires, and werewolves.

Others believe in Bigfoot, superheroes, and idols.

I believe in diamonds, God, animals going to heaven, and most of all YOU. 

I believe in diamonds. What do I mean by that? Do I actually believe in the mineral? Believe it has special powers or something? No. Not by a long shot. I believe in people. I believe in diamonds. I believe that everyone has a diamond underneath, it just takes some digging to find, and some polishing once it's found. 

"And you should really thank Mrs. Bringman

                                               She spend so much extra time

It's like she sees the diamond underneath

And she's polishing you 'til you shine

[2nd Chorus]

And oh you got so much going for you going right

But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night"

~Brad Paisley. Letter To Me~

I believe even the worst person has some good in them. It just takes time to find it. But once you find it...it's there. Always. You don't know what that person has gone through to become that way...but there's always a reason. Everyone is born in sin, yes. But everyone has the right to change. Some for the best and others for the worst. But everyone has some good in them...even if it's just a tiny little drop of good, it's there. 

I believe in giving second chances. Not because I'm nice, but because it's the right thing to do. If the person screws up that second chance, then that's their loss. You were the bigger person to let them in your life again, but if they take advantage of that and mess that up, then it's their fault and their loss. 

I believe that with every diamond found, there's a heart of gold, waiting to be polished up. It may just be too tarnished to shine and be noticed, but it's there. And they'll thank you for helping them find it again.  

And that's why I believe in diamonds. If everyone believed in diamonds in the rough and took the time to help someone find their's...this world may not be as chaotic as it is today. So take the time and talk to someone even if they act all mean and tough. You never know what kind of difference you are making in their life. 

And that's my 'it speaks to me' post for today. I haven't had a powerful, meaningful post in a while, so here we go. I hope you liked it and it spoke to you~ ^w^

I Really Need To Stop... [Movies]

August 22, 2011

...watching LifeTime Movies xD I watched two yesterday. And probably would've watched more if I didn't have things to do xD I watched a bunch last week...and what started this?!? Another book by my favorite author, Jodi Picoult, was turned into a LifeTime Movie...it was Plain Truth...and to be honest I still haven't watched it yet...I recorded it on the DVR...but still. After that I must've watched at least 5 more. I need to stop xD  

The one last night was quite sad. In fact I cried. I never cry. Especially not during a movie. It was called 'Listen To Your Heart' about this man who's a songwriter and this girl he loves who's deaf. They end up together even though her mom doesn't think he's good enough for her since he's a waiter. But the girl decides to break away from her mom and see him anyway. Soon he develops a brain tumor and is on the verge of dying. His own mother died when he was younger and he was the one to find her...he didn't want the girl to find him like that or be there when he died so he pulled the plug on himself. The girl was in recovery for ear surgery so she could hear again. After, he leaves her an envelope. Inside was a CD of all the songs he wrote and sang just for her...and she could finally hear them. <3 

On Saturday I broke away from LifeTime to watch a movie on Starz...the premier. What was it? COUNTRY STRONG!!!!!!! :)

I love this movie! It's definitely on my list of favorites. It's amazing. I really need the soundtrack now xD I've watched this movie twice so far and even recorded it on the DVR so it'll be there when I'm bored. It's definitely a must see if you haven't seen it before. I would go into detail...but well I don't want to spoil this amazing movie for anyone~ :)

Anywho, I'm going to attempt this week to make my blog look even prettier! That's my goal for this week~ :) 

Second blog post soon~

And I have a new closing line for this post...instead of keep your lights shining...

I Didn't Cheat On This {Prompt 37 & 40}

August 18, 2011

I'm starting this off by saying I did not cheat on Prompt 37. My room is typically always is clean-ish. My brother puts his toys and crap like that in my room and plays while he watches TV but before he goes to bed I make sure he puts everything away...maybe I'm a little OCD...I don't know x-x And in the mornings, it's a habit to straighten my bedspread up so nice and neat. It's a habit to make sure my room looks presentable in case of any surprise visitors that may want to creep around in my room, I don't know x-x, But it's prompt time...

Prompt 37 - A picture of your room & don’t cheat by cleaning it. Share a secret. - Thursday

And that's part of my room. My bed which my brother threw a Pikachu on before I snapped the photo...but Pikachu's awesome xD. My fish's tank which is not that color...it's so much prettier and clear in my room xD Lighting error I suppose? And my shoesssss<3 And a few of my books... The thingy with the plaid covers is my brother's mattress from his bottom bunk, he wanted to sleep in my room one night so we pulled that in and have been too lazy to put it back xD

Like I said, that's only part of it...it would have taken three pictures to cover it all xD But you're not missing much...just my dresser and my hatsssss, my blue shelf, my TV and multitude of pictures and Xbox and Wii, my desk and cd rack, my bulletin board of sport's medals. That's all~

**Secret Time**

-whispers- I have done this before I believe...but oh well. I tend to over analyze/over think things...all the time. And I second guess myself too much...I have a very low self confidence level...*shrugs* Terrible secrets I know xD But my mind went blankkkk.

Prompt 40 - Share a story about your past that you are ashamed of - Thursday

Gosh I don't know. Possibly the time when I was five and taking gymnastics, which I later quit because I hated gymnastics.., and we had an expedition and afterwards, I saw a little gold walnut looking thing and I picked it up and my friend picked one up and the teacher lady told her to put it down, and my mom got me and took me home since it was over. Later I felt guilty and told my mom I stole it and I'm soooo sorry. My mom just laughed at me and said it was okay that it was just a fake gold painted plastic walnut thing, it wasn't like it was money or candy. Somehow that pops into my mind first. xD Silly, I know but I was five and didn't know any better xD

So that's all the prompts for today...only two more tomorrow and I will be done with my 42 Day Challenge D: But I can say I made it out alive and didn't quit!!!! :) Gosh that was fun! I will have to do another soon :)

When You Wish Upon A Star~ [Prompts 38-39]

August 17, 2011

It's August 17 ! And I realize I really am supposed to be doing prompts 37 and 38...but well 37 is a picture of my room at its current state and I didn't realize that prompt was well coming up so soon. I thought it was about 40 or so...but I will take the picture today and do that prompt first thing tomorrow morning~ xD Prompt timeeeee!

Prompt 38 - Something You Could Live Without - Wednesday

Something I could live without and still be sane...I suppose it must be something I like or else this prompt would be useless and meaningless. Let's see...I could live without...I could probably live without my TV for a certain extent...even though I'd miss some shows...but well that's why they have it so you can watch your shows for free via the Internet...and sometimes YouTube has some shows up too :D  


To turn the question around something I could NOT live without would be my two laptops...my oldddd one and my newer one. My old one because it has my old iTunes library, my old pictures, and all my stories and such that I have yet to finish because that particular computer crashed and has yet to work TT.TT 
My newer one because it has my new and updated iTunes library, my other stories and writings, and my photos and drawings. :)


Prompt 39 - If you had 3 wishes, what would they be? - Wednesday

Oh magic genie/fairy person thing...I wish for...
1*My dream car/truck
2*A nice house out in the country with lots of land.
3*Unlimited Wishes.


Tee hee hee ;)


Well there's that. ^w^

Broken Pieces And Dislikes. [Prompts 35-36]

August 16, 2011

For some reason I smell the faintest scent of Axe...no one in house wears Axe...but oh my god it smells soooo yummeh!!!!! >.< Oh and the prompts decided to turn on me...from their nice little prompts to a huge killer reminder of what once was. Prompts...grr.  On to the stupid first prompt of today. Gr. >,<

Prompt 35 - A story about a past relationship. - Tuesday

What the picture says. So you guys that's been reading this since the first of July will know this story already...

Your first love will always be just that. No matter how much you want to forget his existence, you'll always remember him. You'll remember his name, his birthday, what he looked like, what he liked. You want to forget but you can't. It's forever embedded in your mind. Your second you'll most likely forget. Your last you'll never ever forget. <3

So this is a story of my first relationship ever. 

I actually never had a boyfriend before July, never more than a petty one from when I was about seven, but I don't count that. I'm not sure why I never had one before, it just wasn't something I wanted in my life. I have so much going with school and grades I just found no time for something like that. But well this summer was a summer of firsts...first time wearing a dress since I was about six or seven, first time painting my nails in years, first time blogging, first time breaking out of shyness, first boyfriend. 

How I found him...let's call him him... was well coincidental I suppose. I was at the lake with Ashley and she made two friends there and we were all hanging out and came across a guy the two other friends knew and he was walking with three other guys. He ditched those three for us. We rode around on the golf cart and stopped at the ball court...the guys were playing basketball...haha you know me and basketball. I asked if I could shoot once, all sweet and innocent like, and they laughed and said 'hah sure. you might wanna scoot up some...that's the three point line.' I was all 'Yeah I know.' And they were all "It's okay, I'll catch it because its going to be an airball...but don't worry I got it." Pshhh. I shot that thing and swoosh I made it. I did that two more times so I could prove it wasn't 'luck'. We started a game and I was on his team and we dominated. It was mainly us passing the ball and either me shooting far off or him shooting near the basket. We won. 

After that we continued to play one-on-one at night when it got dark. It was fun and I totally won. I know for a fact he didn't let me win. I just had better basketball handling skills than he...not to gloat or boast or anything, but it was the truth and he admitted it several times. 

His buddy told me that he liked me and that we should go out...I was all "nahh...he's just a buddy, you know?" Well he gave me his number and then I gave him mine and I left the lake. At the beach, I started feeling things...I actually began having feelings for him! So I texted him every day and night and eventually he asked me to be his girlfriend himself. Without his friend's help. I said yes. But since he lived so far away from me, we stuck to texting and agreed to hang out every day of Fourth of July week at the lake. When I got to the lake to see him, he never texted me back. His buddy told me that he was there and his phone worked so he should have no problem texting. After that and some events later, {read more on my 'Boys Are Jerkfaces' post} I find out he's dating another girl, one who used to be a close friend of mine. He never had the balls to actually break up with me. He left the relationship hanging and dying. I realize he wasn't worth my time and maybe that's why I guarded my heart all these years. Because even though I wasn't sad at first...after all was said and done, I had to take a walk to the camper, mumbling about getting a water bottle. I had a good cry on my walk. And after midnight when Ash and I were getting ready to go to sleep and all, I had another good cry. I didn't sleep much that night. And the next day hurt. And when I got home I realized our 1 month was the next day. That day hurt. Sometimes I remember something unconsciously that we did or he said and my heart crumples but well  I'll be fine. 

He just wasn't the right boy for me. All the sweet little texts... 

I can do better. I know I can. Someone that actually cares about me and won't just do what he did. That was wrong. I hope someone just breaks his heart as he did mine. 

And hah my best friend Ashley has the best luck! /sarcastic/ She has to go to the same school as this jerk. **Be Strong Ash** 

Well that was more than I wanted to post...oh well. x.x

Prompt 36 - A picture of something you dislike - Tuesday

*dodges bricks* Yes I cannot stand 'Dancing With The Stars' ! It gets on my last nerves! gr.

**'Glee.' No way am I ever watching that show again. I got bored. I turned the channel. Sorry and no offence to those who watch it...but it's not my cup of Tea.

**Sour things. I cannot stand anything sour! I guess my palate wasn't made with a tolerance of sour things. 

**Cherries! I'm allergic...so obviously :)

**BBQ Chips. The scent burns my nose...don't ask xD

So that's all for this post. I over did the answer to Prompt 35...sorry guys...but it helped getting the whole story out xD You guys only got to see the aftermath...I didn't blog in May so you didn't get to hear the beginning xD I'm not looking for sympathy, because honestly I'm fine now. :)

Blogger Do NOT Do That To Me...

August 15, 2011

I wasn't going to do another post today...but well Blogger scared me horribly. Blogger do NOT spontaneously erase the blogs I'm following. Do not. I follow quite a few...and by few I mean A LOT...if you erase them I will be sad and freak out because I can't even name them all much less find them all again. 

Thank goodness when I clicked on my stats and then back to dashboard my blogs I'm following returned. Phew. 

My heart sunk, Blogger. That was a very mean and very late April Fool's prank to pull. Please never ever do that again...

/End rant. 

I am done ranting and well...this is a silly rant...but you know I just needed to type it out because my family would not understand xD Petty rant is complete~

Please read the previous two posts to find out stuffs xP

Maybe It's A Southern Thing...And Money?!?

August 15, 2011. 

The hunt is on. 

Happy DEER SEASON! ~ :) Yes, in fact Deer Season has began yet again~

Time to break out the camouflage shirts and the fluorescent orange vests. Time to air out those snake boots. Time to clean that rifle and shotgun again~ Target practice anyone? I had a neighbor actually target practicing on Saturday. No lie. 

Before I get started into this post I'd like to make one thing clear. If you're from PETA or are some kind of animal activist who thinks deer hunting is horrendous and that it should be banned and the guns should be taken away from everyone and blah blah blah...leave. Now. I'm sorry but I don't want to see some hate comments or trying to convince me to change my ways and what not...let me explain something to you.  

 I LOVE animals as much the next person, maybe more. Hence why I want to be a vet when I get out of school. I mean I have always LOVED animals. But hunting is something I enjoy and like. I personally haven't shot and killed my first deer, but I hope to soon. But think of it this way, the economy SUCKS butt and honestly some people just CANNOT afford meats from the grocery store, thus they go hunting when the season is in. They go deer hunting, turkey hunting, squirrel hunting, coon hunting, boar hunting, bear hunting, dove hunting, duck hunting, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, to kill the game just to feed their FAMILY. Without that meat, that protein, the family could undergo health issues. I mean come on PETA. Do you want the animals to over populate the world and the humans become extinct? I mean only game animals are allowed to be killed. Yes, I agree no one should harm a dog, cat, or anything considered to be a pet or any endangered species just to do it. But if there was no food in the world and those were the only things left to eat besides grass, would you eat the pet categorized animal? If it wasn't your pet? I mean, yeah it'd be hard and I wouldn't do it personally...I'd take the grass...but hopefully it never has to resort to that. 

And PETA...guns are not only used to shoot game to produce food for our families, but it's also for self defense. Do you want to be woken up in the middle of the night to someone jiggling your front door handle and be defenseless? Nothing to protect yourself except your own two hands and legs? I for one would be cocking that gun back and putting that bullet in and taking it off safety while walking to the gun and scare the crap out that predator. And not only would my gun be handy but also I'd have a knife on me. Because honestly if someone was trying to break in I'd want to give them a night they'd NEVER forget, in a bad way. I'd want to scare them, ooh I'd scare them. Make them never want to bother anyone again. But that's just me...

But anywho, now that I'm done ranting and fussing on to the great news of deer season~ xD

Ahhh deer season. I don't usually go til about mid October because well it doesn't start cooling off til then and it's like deathly hot in August and still pretty hot in September...but yeah that's just me. I'm not one of those die-hard hunters who was out in a tree stand at 4 AM this morning. Now I know some people that probably were...but honestly that's crazy. xD 

Just putting it out there...I have no idea who the above person is...random picture from Google. .. yeah.. o.O

But, I don't like heights so I wouldn't be in a tree stand anyway xD I prefer going dog driving with some buddies and my dad and brother. I enjoy watching the deer run and catching the dogs afterward. Catching em isn't hard for me, because dogs typically always come to me...i'm not sure why o.O 

But welcome back deer season! It's done seven months...we've missed ya ;)

Well most of us have missed ya ;D And well...deer...watch out because the hunters are out and about. ^w^

Money?!?!?!?!?!

Okay, so the economy is crap here in the States...and so I've heard, it is for many other countries too. I need to make some money...my problem? I'm 15. By law I cannot be hired to work at any facility until I'm 16. I cannot get a check for minimum wage much less even volunteer at places until I'm 16. I'll be 16 in October...but I need the money now. Like really. 

So I've been thinking about doing the AdSense thing on here so that I could allow Ads on my blog and make money that way...but does it work? I mean who has a blog and allows the Ads? I want to know like everything you had to do and how it works and etc. I've thought about it...but I don't know. 

I also thought about adding the Amazon widget thing that puts their products ad somewhere on here and if you guys click on it and buy it and whatever I get a commission of some sort...I haven't read up on this one...the AdSense actually puts ads relating to I'M blogging about whereas Amazon is random. I could be blogging about a rainy day and they'd have an Ad for Sunscreen whereas AdSense would have something about Umbrellas or something.  At least that's what I got out of it. But anyway...does anyone do the Amazon ads one? 

My question to you guys who also blog, 

Do you allow ads on your blog? AdSense widget or the Amazon widget? How do you like it? How much money do you make? How does it work? Explain the process, please? 

Because I am sure as heck am not wealthy. I feel I need to play my part in my family and make some income...nothing over $600 because well I don't want to  claim/do taxes yet...yeah the government sure as heck ain't taking my monies ;) So I want to make $599 and below. Shoot I'd be happy with $50...even $20. xD 

So help me make monies? :) And if you aren't a blogger and therefore have no clue about the AdSense/Amazon thingy, but you KNOW a way a 15 year old can make a little bit of money [no lemonade stands xD] please feel free to comment! Because well...economy = sucky and terrible. KayKay = needs to help out. Therefore YOU, the viewer = suggestions? :)

Maybe? :) You guys rock for viewing though...if you don't have any suggestions, that's cool too, you still rock ^w^
