Poem

You told me I was annoying
You told me I was childish
You told me you ignored me
And the reasons why
But before you called me sweet
Said you appriciated everything
That I was doing for you
I thought you were cool
Now I feel like a fool
I thought you were my friend
But this friendships come to an end
I stood up for you
When my friends said bad things
I complimented you all the time
Thinking I was being nice.
I sent you an angel
Using money I didnt really have
But I did it cause I liked you.
I wrote you a song
Did you ever listen?
I only write for those I cherish.
I really thought the world of you
But now that worlds crashing down.
I dont think you realize
Just how much you hurt me.
I thought you were my friend
But this friendships come to an end
Because if you were really a friend
You'd accept me for who I am
Crazy, annoying, and childish I may be,
But I dont care cause thats just me.

My condition has been named!!!!

Hmm... where to begin?

Ok, first my mental illness, lol.

Ya'll that say I talk about Stella too much? Well my condition has finally been diagnosed! Dr. Shannon Cousino says my condition is called SPIMP or SPOG.

SPIMP means Stella Parton Inpulsive Mental Person. SPOG means Stella Parton Obsessive Girl.

So thank you Dr. Shannon for diagnosing me! She says the only known cure is to sing with Stella one more time and THIS time get to sing Young Love with her.... oh yeah and be able to tour with her. Hell, everyones already talking about the day I'll get to tour with her, so its perfect! LOL!

(Dr. Shannon Cousino is not a real Doctor. She's merely a high school student who has an active imagination. The above is completely and totally made up. If you think you have SPIMP or SPOG (SPOB for males) please contact your local psychiatrist immediately because there is NO SUCH THING!)

Loretta Lynn Concert Part 2

By this time, I felt like I was walking on air. I'm not usually one to act spontaniously, but I did, and it worked!

Well I went into the auditiorium, and found my seat. I talked to my "seat neighbors" for a few minutes, and then the show started.

The Coal Miners started up Ticks, and one of them began to sing. It was pretty good. They did a couple of other songs, but I cant remember what they were.

Then Patsy and Peggy came out. They did a song called Sarah (it was pretty interesting) and one that they said was "A cross between Loretta Lynn and Elvis Presley" I cant remember the name, but it was GOOD!!!!!!! They totally rocked. Sometime while they were up there, I yelled "I LOVE YOU PATSY, I LOVE YOU PEGGY!" and one of them (Patsy I think) said "Aww, thank you!" They were also messing around with Ernie, which was very funny.

Ernie: "Mama cant fire me, cause then I have to move back home!"
Patsy or Peggy:"And thats the only reason your keeping a job!"
Ernie: How many of you have kids that leave home and then come back?"
Peggy (?): Oh, I do! I thought when my son left he'd be gone, but he keeps coming back to live with me!

Patsy and Peggy left the stage, and the band started singing real slow "Well I was born a Coal Miners daughter" Of course everyone jumped up on their feet and started clapping, screaming, and whistling! Out comes Loretta in that beautiful red dress! Its my favorite one of them all... I was hoping she would wear it! Suddenly it hit me, for the first time, that I was gonna get to see Loretta live. It all seemed like a dream! I mighta started crying if I wasnt so out of breath! She looked STUNNING!!!!!! I have always admired Loretta and been a fan, even if she wasnt my favorite singer. But at that moment, I felt like she was my favorite singer. My other favorite singers could have walked in and said "Lets go to a movie!" and I would not have gone. I would not have missed this concert, no matter what the situation!

I remember her singing "You're Lookin At Country",  and two more that I cant remember right off the top of my head. Then she stopped and said "This is your show, so you can tell me anything you wanna hear. Doesnt mean I'll do it, but you can ask anyway!"
She and Ernie were poking at eachother, and I grabbed my stuff and ran down to the front. I waited for a quiet moment, and yelled "Miss Loretta!" She looked over at me and said "Yes, what is it honey?" I held up my red hat and said "See my pretty red hat? It would look great with your dress!" I think she said something like "Oh that does look like it would match, doesnt it?" Someone out in the audience, not too far from where I sat said "She made it for you Loretta!" I thought for a second "Where the heck did they get the idea I made it?" Loretta got Ernie to go get it. He grabbed it, and then stuck it on his head and girly pranced back to Loretta, then stuck it on her head. It looked beautiful on her! She kinda had this look on her face like "Oh I am soooo proud of this one" (note the sarcasm) and then she laughed.
She took off the hat and looked at it, and said "Well this is a very pretty hat, isnt it Ernest Ray?" They joked for a few minutes, taking digs... Loretta said something about how Ernest looked in it, and so on.
Well, Ernest had the hat, and I yelled "MAD MRS. LEROY BROWN!" cause it looked like she was getting ready to sing again, and she said "What was that honey?" and I said "Mad Mrs. Leroy Brown!" She rolled her eyes and said "Oh lordy!" Then she said "We havent done You Aint Woman Enough in a while, lets do that one!"
I ran back to my seat, and started singing along. This one lady sitting next to her husband, and another girl (I think it was their daughter) were all singing along, and we were having fun! She did a few other numbers, and this woman looked around and noticed nobody else was singing along! She said "My gosh, are we the only ones that know these songs?"
At one point, Miss Loretta sang Fist City (by request of an audience member). After that, she started talking about Tayla. She said "This girl stuck by me the whole time I was in the hospital last year. Well, almost! She went out one day, stayed out all night! I caught her trying to sneak back in, and I got onto her. She didnt go anywhere else again!" She introduced Tayla, and Tayla came out and started singing Rated X. Okay, so thats one song I havent had the fortune to hear yet..... but Tayla kicked butt!!!!!! It was awesome, I loved it! I was down front again.... nobody ever stopped me from sitting down there watching it, as long as I wasnt in anybodys way. After that, Tayla started talking about her daddy, Ernest Ray! Loretta meantioned she had a hard head, and she said "Well, I dont know where I could have possibly gotten that!" and looks at Ernie. Then she said "You know, I got a new mama. She's 21 years old! Well, that just makes me look younger than I really am!" (How old IS Tayla anyway?)
THEN she started singing Mad Mrs. Leroy Brown!!!!!!! Have I meantioned I love that song? She did great. Fabulous. She truly is Loretta's granddaughter!!! She did wonderful! I wish she'd put that on her myspace page. I waved at her from where I was and she waved back :) Such a sweetie!!!!!!!!

So then, Loretta says "You know, I told her she needs to learn some new songs to sing out here for the fans. She told me "But gramma, I'm YOUR fan!""

I dont remember much else of the concert. I remember though, Loretta bowing in that beautiful dress.... and smiling, and wow I couldnt believe it was over! When the lights came up, I was thinking "NO! It cant be over!" Just like the Dolly concert I went to in September 2005.... I was sad when it was over, and couldnt believe it.... even though it was a two hour show! It just didnt feel like it.

Tayla had told me earlier that Loretta's assistant would be the one to give stuff to for Loretta to sign. I remembered this, and ran out to the busses! Dang it, there was already a huge crowd out there! Well, not huge, I'd say from 15 to 30 people? Well Loretta came out, and I said "Miss Loretta! I'm the girl that gave you the hat!" and she said "Oh that was you? Thank you honey!"

Well, I remembered the veil of that hat was messed up, so I DID ask Tayla to grab it for me. I wanted to get a good long look at it to see if there was a way I could fix it. Who knows what I said though, I was still in a dream bubble flying along. Well, the veil wasnt TOO bad messed up. I talked to Tayla a few more minutes, said goodbye, got more of her great big hugs, and she got on her bus. I managed to get a stiff piece of paper and a pen, and I wrote a short note to Loretta on it, and stuck it on the hat. Then I gave it to Patsy to take back in. I honestly dont know if I met Peggy at all! I know for sure I kept running into Patsy. I'd say "Which one are you?" and she'd say "Patsy" The second time, I said "OH! Sorry, I forgot!" And proceeded to tell her that she and Peggy did great!!!

Patsy took the hat in (by this time nobody was left out there but me and a security person) and told me to go get warm! I told her I was still waiting for my stuff that I asked to get signed. She asked me what it was, and I told her. She grabbed it for me, and handed it out, and there it was... Loretta's autograph!

I ran back inside the Center, and saw Tayla's husband. He kept getting onto me for coming without a ride home. I told him "But if I hadnt done it, I wouldnt have met Tayla, wouldnt have gotten a ticket, wouldnt have seen the show, wouldnt have gotten to talk to Loretta, or give her that hat, and a bunch of other things!" and he said "True.... but you still shouldnt do it anyway!"

Someone asked how old Tayla was, and I said "I heard she was 28... but dont tell her that if I'm wrong, I dont wanna be dead" He said "She would hug your neck if she heard that!" One person said 19, one said 25, we never did find out.... he wouldnt tell us. He acted like he didnt know.... unless he really doesnt know!

Anyway, I did get a ride home :)

Loretta Lynn Concert!!!!!! (Part 1)

SO Saturday sure was awesome! I went to the coolest concert I have been to in a long time!!!!!!

Loretta, Tayla, Ernie, Patsy, and Peggy Lynn were all performing at The Robinson Center in Downtown Little Rock. I didnt have any tickets by the way. But I arrived 2 and a half hours early just to meet Miss Tayla.

I had no idea if I would get to meet her. I was taking a big risk!

So anyway. I arrived at the theatre at 5:30. The show wasnt scheduled til 8:00. but I walked up to the door anyway. I grabbed the attention of a security guard, and said "Hi, is Miss Tayla here yet?" He told me he had no idea who she was. I may have sighed and rolled my eyes.... but not out of disrespect! Anyway, I said "Loretta's granddaughter. I'm here to see her, I know her." The guard looked me up and down and I said "Really, I know her" The guy smiled and let me in! He told me I could search the theatre for her. I was surprised!

Well I sarched all over that theatre! Finally, I started walking towards the stage, getting ready to see if I could get backstage. But the promoter stopped me. I explained my predicament, and he said he'd give her the message that I was there. So I sat down and waited. A little bit later, after being grilled by some snotty woman in purple, the guy (his name was Marc) told me Tayla didnt have on her makeup and would be out when she got it on. (She didnt want anyone to see her without it!)

Long story short: First she had to put on her makeup, then she was eating (I heard they had chocolate pie.... ooh I was sooo hungry!) Then a radio station dj gave me FABULOUS seats (Row twelve, seat 230... kinda the left hand side of the stage). Then Tayla's husband (but I didnt know it at the time) asked if I was there to see her, and I said "Yeah" and he said "Are you the lady with the red hat thats looking for her?" I said yeah, and he said "Well I was told if I saw you to tell you that she would meet you at 7:30." It was 6:30.

I met a couple of women, who had been waiting 35 years to be in the same ROOM as Miss Loretta. They loved her so much, they hadnt stopped bawling since they got their tickets! Now, at this point I didnt know where I was supposed to meet Tayla, but some guy was working on it for me. So I said "Depending on the situation of this meeting, if anyone asks, you, Rebecca, are my momma, and Susan, you are my auntie! But we wont tell Tayla that, just the important figures that might ask!" Rebecca called her mama and told her while I went to find something, and when I came back, she was bawling again!
We didnt have to use that though. We met with Tayla by the merchandise table. TALK ABOUT SWEET!!!!!! She gave me this great big ole hug, and we talked for a few minutes, but I cant remember for the life ofme what about. I remember though that she asked how old I was, and she was surprised. She said "That'll work in your favor one day" and I said "It already does! I can get into stuff I havent outgrown!"
And I remember telling her a few friends said hi, and she said she loved them, they were crazy!

Ok, well I'll have the concertup later!!!!!

Wierd dreams

Ugh. I'm having the WORST dreams! Okay, not the worst. Well, considering its a month and two days until Dukesfest, maybe it is.

Lately when I've been dreaming about Dukesfest, I dream that Catherine wont like me. Its pretty silly, I know. But thats coming from all of you who have really and truly met her. I stood in front of her for a few minutes without her saying a word. Then when I turned around and said thank you she said "Oh its No problem, my pleasure!"

Okay, emails and comments show she's absolutely darling. But... I cant help it. I blame the people that told me she would run, and then maybe I'm also worried I'll be set up for dissapointment again. Who can blame me?

Well, I hope she likes me, and that my dreams are all just silly. Really and truly, I did have these same dreams before I met Erika Jo, and she was just as sweet as could be! Hopefully it will turn out the same this time.

Fan Girls Gone Wild

I love writing with Jordan! We write the best thing too, Fan Girls Gone Wild!

Its about these two girls that become friends when they realize share the same adoration for Catherine Bach. So they write her a script and send it off to her. A little while later, they get a letter back (or bach as they like to say) saying she would be glad to do it!!!! So the girls are whisked away to Hollywood, where they film the movie, and make more friends along the way. After the movie becomes a success, things get bad. The girls start fighting over everything! Mostly its Catherine. For instance, she asks if one of them will get her a bottle of water while she goes to the restroom. The girls start fighting over whos gonna get her the water. The fighting gets so bad, that Catherine tells them that if they cant behave and be civilized towards eachother, she doesnt want to see them anymore. Will Catherine forgive the girls? Will the girls become friends again? Find out after we finish writing this thing, read it on the Catherine Bach Fan Page, or wait til we know if its gonna happen, lol

Stars we have written in there (how many people you think will say yes?):

John Schneider
Reba McEntire
Sandra Taylor
FallOut Boy

Theres more I just cant think of them right now, or they havent been written in yet so we dont wanna say who they are, lol.

It has lots of humor, and fun, as well as seriousness. I dont think it has a catagory right now. It pretty much falls under every single catagory of movie except Adult and Sci-fi!!! Maybe after we revise it and edit it it will have a placement. maybe family film will work itself to be in favor!!!

Anyways, hope you will be interested!!!!

lalalala I'm bored.

Well, its an ordinary Friday for me. Nothing to do but be at the computer. SO I'm gonna blog about whatever comes to my mind.

I have three bestest buddies. Rebecca and Jordan are my Bestest Bachadelic Buddies, but Jordan moreso than Rebecca. I guess cause me and Jordan have practically everything in common. Thats why we call eachother twins. That started one day when we kept finishing eachothers sentances, and saying the same thing, only occasionally in a different way, and realizing all we had in common. One day one of us said "We're like twins!" and so now everytime we say something thats the same, or find out something else we both like or did, we say "TWINS!!!" lol. My other bestest buddy is Kaylee. She's my bestest Schneiderlicious Buddy. She made up the word Schneiderlicious, and its taken the John Schneider community by storm. Alot of them say it now!!! lol. And then not long after John found out about the word, his buddy Erik told us that they were talking about it and laughing. They were laughing REALLY hard! And Breet told us that John said he hoped his female doctor didnt ever find out.... which in that case I made an innapropriate comment. Well, I dont think anyone that is subscribed to my blog will blurt it out to him, so I'll say what it was.... and hope John never comes across this blog, lol.

After Breet said John hoped his doctor never heard that word, he also said the doctor was female. In THAT case, I said "I wonder how many physical's she calls him up to get are really physicals?" and commenced to start dreaming up a conversation that consisted John, his wife, and his doctor.

When John found out the word, he left a comment on the page Kaylee and I set up, and it said "Schneiderlicious is that like Bubblicious with a YEEEHAWWW? I'm not sure..." we had a good laugh!! Now thats on our shirts! The official Schneiderlicious shirts will soon be sold wherever we can sell them, lol. Oooh, hey maybe I oughta find out about selling t-shirts at Dukesfest I already have a Bachadelic shirt in mind and a Schneiderlicious shirt in mind.... if I can get Kaylee to help me with a Wopatomic shirt, we might be in business!!!! hehehe. Fun fun, lots of fun.

Ya'll know how much I love Stella Parton, right? Well, I absolutely adore her song Mandolin Rain. A few days ago... Sunday as a matter of fact.... I bought a Pam Tillis cd! Heres my reasoning why: I saw Mandolin Rain!!! I LOVE Pam's version!!!! BUT it throws me off in that third verse cause its not the same as Stella's. Oh well, I'll get used to it!!! :) I also enjoyed "Betty's Got A Bass Boat" In THAT song, this girl named Betty is trying to figure out how to get a guy, so she goes out and buys a bass boat and a truck, and now all the guys love her! "Things sure are looking up since Betty got herself a bass boat!"

My favorite Reba McEntire songs are And Still and For Herself. You havent lived until you have heard Reba sing And Still. Everytime I hear it, I get sucked in. Its just a beatiful song!

"Thousands of people live in this town
And I had to run into him
When I saw him there
On that busy street
Those feelings came back again
There was nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
He walked up to me
Looked in my eyes and still
My world stood still
I couldnt move
And all I could feel was this aching in my heart
Saying I loved him Still.

He said how have you been.
Its great to see you again
Your really a sight for sore eyes
I said I cant complain.
Oh I'm doing fine
We talked
As the people rushed by
We laughed about old times and all we'd been through
Thats when he hugged me and said I've missed you

And still
My world stood still
I couldnt move
And all I could feel
Was this aching in my heart
Saying I loved him still

Thats when she walked up to him
He said this is my wife
I gave my best smile
But I was dying inside
He said we've gotta go now
Its getting late
It was so good to see you
And then they walked away

And still
My world stood still
I couldnt move
And all I could feel was this aching in my heart
Saying I loved him
Still

If you have never heard that song, then go find it!!! :)

I'm becoming a fan of Jewel. I really like her! She has a pretty voice! I love Goodbye Alice In Wonderland and Life Uncommon. Those are the two I listen to the most. But there are a few others I like alot. I'm trying to come up with the name of one of them, but Alice In Wonderland is the only one going through. I can hear a piece of the song "Wishing on a star my makebelieve if I believed in that shit" or something like that. Its on my Sandra fan page, I need to hunt it down and listen, lol. I remember the first time I heard Jewel. I had just got a radio, I was like 10 or 11. My dad had gotten me an alarm radio, and he turned it on. It was raining really hard out, but we managed to get in a station. Jewel was playing. I cant remember what song it was, something about Gypsies I think? My dad said "Hey, thats Jewel!" and then after that he left to go do something else. I remember right after that I heard Garth Brooks Friends In Low Places or Pina Coladas. But I thought she had a pretty voice. After a while I never thought about it.

What gets me is that most people I talk to DONT like her! She has a beautiful voice, and some people tell me "She has good songs, I just dont like her voice" Oh well. Thats their loss! Now I need to go and see if I still have Life Uncommon on my computer and listen to it, lol.

"Dont worry mother
It'll be alright.
Dont worry sister say your prayers
And sleep tight
And it'll be fine
Lover of mine
It'll be just fine.

Lend your voices
Only to sounds of freedom.
No longer lend your strength to that
That you wish to be free from
Feel life with love and bravery
And you shall lead a life uncommon.

I have heard your anguish
I have heard your hearts cry out
We are tired we are weary
But we arent worn out
Sit down your chains
Til only faith remains
Sit down your chains

And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your stregnth to that which you wish to be free from
Live life with love and bravery
And you shall lead
A life uncommon

There are plenty of people
That paray for peace
But if praying were enough
It would have come to be
Enslave noone
A voices ring out loud with sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom

Come on you non believers
Or move out of the way
There is a new army coming through
And we are armed with faith
To live
We must give

And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our stregnth to that which we wish to be free from
Live life with love and bravery
And we shall lead
A life uncommon"

I love that song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm done now, lol.

Last blog about this promise!!!!

ALRIGHT! Turns out, that we DO NOT have the money for me to go to Michigan. So even though I'm dissapointed, its fine, because maybe I'll get to go to Dukesfest. Although I guess I wont be seeing Sandi, thats fine. :) Cause I WILL go and see Catherine, and Tom and Ben. And my bestest Schneiderlicious buddy if she goes!!!!! And of course if I can, I will DEFINATELY be seeing John so I can yell SCHNEIDERLICIOUS!!! to him, lol. But I'll only do that if Kaylee is there. We've been planning the moment we would say Schneiderlicious to John in person for so long its not even funny!!!!

I have to talk to some people about something, and then I'll let ya'll know how the Dukesfest stuff goes.

I'm gonna miss ya Sandi!!! All three days I'll be thinking about you!!!! :):) When you get bach, dont be surprised if theres lots and lots of slideshows waiting for you, lol.

Bye everyone!

I'm going if I can!!!!

Okay! So yesterday I was talking with my bestest Schneiderlicious buddy, and we were talking about Catherine's cancellation, and I said "I dont know if I wanna go anymore" She told me that the chances are getting better that she can go too. She said she might not have to choose between comic con and Dukesfest, she might get to go to both! Then she said that theres lots of other people to see besides Sandi, just because Catherine's not there doesnt mean we cant still have fun! Kaylee wants to see me really bad, so that stuck another reason to go.

Then I found out the guy that does the voice of Fry on Futurama is gonna be there, and theres gonna be a General Lee, among other things that sound interesting! SO I think I am definately going to go if I can. If its possible, I am going! Alot of people keep telling me that I shouldnt let one cancellation stop me from seeing Sandi, especially since she's the one I have been wanting to see the most for a while. Alright, those of you who's mouths are hanging open in shock that I actually wanted to see someone more than Catherine close them. Remember the Dukesfest thing? I got out of line to see Stella! Besides, theres nothing wrong with that. And you know who you are, so dont act so surprised!!! I know a couple of you that would have gone to see someone else you like before the person you admire the most!!! I know of at least one of you that HAS done it!

Sandi, I want to say thanks for telling me I didnt have to make the long trip just to see you, and that maybe sometime something will happen closer where you'll be with Brandy and/or Catherine and be more convienient. I think that was sweet of you. I'm actually trying to check into seeing if theres something near me that you might be able to attend. Anyways, I'll go if I can, cause I did find out other things that I might wanna do.  :)

So now its just a matter of money. Ugh. I hate money sometimes.

To go to Comic Con, or to not go......

Okay I'm stuck. I wanted to go to Motor City Comic Con so I could meet Sandi and Catherine. But then Catherine cancelled. Now I dont know if I wanna go. Yes, I have been wanting to meet Sandi the most... but you know I just dont see a point in going all the way to Michigan from Arkansas to just see one person, especially since it would be only for a few minutes. I would be in the same situation if Sandi had cancelled and Catherine were there. Theres a couple of people that I know MIGHT attend... but I dont know.

So I'm stuck. I dont know if I wanna go or not. I REALLY wanna see Sandi. But is it worth it to spend alot of money to go, and then only see one person? Even if I went to see her everyday?

Hmmm.... can anybody give me a clue? On one hand, this could be my one chance of seeing Sandi. On the other, what if I went, saw Sandi, and then afterwards I didnt really like anything else?

Any thoughts would be useful. Its entirely possible that I wont be able to go anyway, but I dont know. I understand very much that what Catherine's doing is important, and special to her. One person told me I shouldnt let Catherine not being there prevent me from making my dream of meeting Sandi happen.

SANDRA???????? If your reading this, please help! I dont know what I wanna do, I would really appriciate any and all help/support/ whatever you can do. I wanna see you, but your the only person thats gonna be there i wanna see i think!!!!

Sigh.
