What do you expect??? hmmm....???

I'm a procrastinator of course I'm going to go forever without making a post. Duh...! anyways. Nothing really new going on, except I am yet again procrastinating with my electronic commerce work. I actually feel kinda bad about this time, because the teacher actually mentioned in a mass email to all the students that we do like it said in the thing and do one assignment a week instead of submitting them all at the deadline. At least I know I'm not the only one doing it. I know it makes the work harder on him. He should just make deadlines of each assignment. It might make it a little easier on him. I don't know. I'm just a slacker.

This class ends on December 10. I don't know what I'm going to do next semester. I'm not really feeling the whole school thing at the moment... obviously. I need to get a job. In fact I need to get a job, jet a license, get a car and then get a life. Well, I want to travel a bit. I can't do that without getting a job to get some money. Damned money!


SO... I did a video. A very stupid don't watch it...... here it is.... hehe



Here's an old weird article that I found http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5032906.stm

I was thinking of making a response to a video about dreams. It got me thinking about dreams and I've had some weird ones.

yes... I've been neglectful

but so what. people neglect me, so why can't I be neglectful of something. It's on y a blog no one reads anyways. Don't really know why I have it. It was better when I remained silent. I think I'll go back to being that for awhile. See if things get better. Bet you they will.

yay for me

You'll be happy to know that I still have an A in my class. I don't know how I do it, but I do.

I don't plan on doing much today. Just gonna watch whoners and maybe some movies too. I watched Pump Up the Volume last night. I love that movie. Anyways, All my movies were still in boxes but I unpacked the major DVD box last night. Technically early this morning, but you get the point. So now I have them all out where I don't have to dig through any entire box to find a movie that happens to be at the bottome of the box.

Don't have much else to say. I might post more later.

It's 1:16 a.m. Oct. 15

I just finished my two assignments and midterm and sent them in. I just hope they were worthy of A's. Personally I don't think they were. I think they should at least get B's though. I don't know. It's up to the teacher. For the rest of the class I really need to do my assignment a week, cause this is past ridiculous and my work is starting to suffer. You wouldn't think that one assignment a week would be bad, but I leave all the assignments till the due date for like three or four of them. I gotta stop! I really want to keep my A in the class too. I have a 4.0 right now and I want to keep it that way. Life of a procrastinator....to be continued....like always....

Oct 13. omg

So I slept in till 10:30 or so. My mom had tried to get me up a couple of times to eat breakfast with everyone and i said I was gonna,but...yeah didn't happen. She kept telling me they went out to the fencing we put up yesterday. Well actually took down, moved, then put back up. They came back in and i heard one of my brothers mention that they were going to investigate this set of trails that are across the road from us. My dad has mentioned this a couple of times. I've been wanting to do it with the bikes. I got upset because it seemed like they were going to go without me, so I popped up and said I was going. So while I was making moves to get up they were going on about how my brothers touched the electric fencing lol and their reactions to it. They said," you should of did it!" To which I replied,"Yeah, I'm not that stupid." lol though to be honest I actually might have done it. I wish I could have gotten their reactions on pictures or something, because I hear they were quite funny.

Anyways back to the trail. So I get out of bed and and scramble to put some outdoor clothes on. On the way out I grab one of those single serving Pringles pack things and head out the door. That was my breakfast and I completely forgot to get something to drink. That was probably mistake number one. I head up to the barn and my dad was punmping up the tires to make sure they were all full of air. We haven't rode bikes in a good long while. We only had three bikes, because the rest were rusted so we got rid of them and only brought the three when we moved. There were four of us, so my dad said he would walk.

We start of pretty good. We went down the rode a little to get to the trail. I wait for everyone to0 catch up. It took awhile cause my older brother probably is te longest without being on a bike and he wasn't ever the best to begin with. Plus my dad was walking so we had to wait for him to catch up. That's pretty much what we did for awhile till we hit a dead end. At some point my older brother didn't want to do the bike anymore, so he gave the bike to my dad and he walked.

So we are wondering which path we want to take and I decided I want to go down around the cheese factory, because I thought there was this trail that may have led to town (mistake number two btw). I didn't want to go alone so one of my brothers went with me. My other brother and my dad went back I guess. So My brother and I went downhill to get to the path (that was the last downhill for a good long while). We get to the bottom and I see that there wasn't a path that I thought was there. So instead of going back up, we go up this little hill that leads straight to the cheese factory. Once we get up that there is a long driveway to get up to the road (btw we didn't ride this part we were very tired so we pushed the bikes up). That took a little bit, but we were pretty happy to get to the top. So, once again we hop on our bikes went about 20 feet and we had to get back off. It was uphill again, not a steep uphill, but uphill nontheless. On top of that we were going against a very stron wind. We walked almost the entire way down the road until the road got flat and then we got back on our bikes and start pedaling towards the turn. By this time I was abuot to just fall off the bike.

We get almosrt to the turn when we see our dad turn the corner and see us. My brother stopped to talk to him, but i just kept right on going around the corner until it started going uphill again and I just couldn't go anymore. My brother went on past me a minute later and my dad stopped. We talked awhile, but evetually I started again. I stopped once more to catch my breath yet again, but I got to the top of the little hill and it gave me enough momentum to get almost to the driveway. There was alittle hill to get to the driveway and I had to pedal a couple of times to make it, but make it I did. I felt like I had just did a marathon. Which is stupid, because it wasn't even that much, but I don't get a lot of exercise anymore so it just tired me out way too much.

Instead of stopping at the barn and dropping the bike off to walk down the hill do the house, I just kept right on going. As soon as I got as close of the house as I could I practically jumped off the bike. I don't even think it had completely stopped yet lol. There are like three steps to get up to the house and my legs were like lead. I'm sure if you would have saw it you would have laughed. It probably made a funny sight, but it was terrible. Somehow I made it to the kitchen and sat down. The only thing I could manage to get out through the heavy breathing was, "Get me drink!" lol. not very mannerly, but all I could say. My mom got me a drink and I disappeared to my room for awhile. It took me a good half hour for my breathing to completely regulate.

I tried to get on blogtv and type some, but my hands were shaking a little, so it made it a little difficult. So I went and got some food on my stomach. That felt really good btw. After that we really didn't know what to do. My dad took off work, because after all that who could work? PLus the day before we worked all day putting fence up. The brother that had been riding with me disappeared back into his cave he calls a room, not to be heard from till another day. My mom and my other brother go into to town. My dad decided that going around on the riding lawn mower and hauling him around in a wagon with a chair in it while he sipped a beer would be fun. I like driving it, so I said sounds good to me.

So we go do that and look at the fencing job we did yesterday. We get to the back pasture and there are all these huge limbs that my dad had to cut, because they were laying on the electric wire and that could cause it to short out or something like that. So we did that and we see my mom and brother puuling up. My brother came up with his riding lawn mower which he just got. Its an older one, but it goes faster than the one that my dad just got not long ago. We decided to have lawn mower races. My brother won all of them, because his just goes faster. Plus he can pop a willy/willie however you spell it on his.

Other than that I bent one of my fingernails back. It always hurts, but usually you just bend it back to where the long part starts. This time it bent back farther. It started bleeding pretty good. I stuck a bandaid on that I just took off a little bit before I started typing this.

So not as eventful a day as some, but it wasn't bad. Oh and I still haven't done my assignments yet. I should do them now, but I'm starting to get tired. :(

Today was......

Well its not today anymore. Well today is today, but its 12:11 so when i think of today I'm thinking actually of yesterday. Funny how that works.

Anyways. We just moved here and we have a little over 6 acres. There is fencing up, its not the wood fencing more like the posts with three ropes lines in the front pasture. The back pasture has wires and is electric. When we were buying the house they had someone come out and mark the property lines. We actually had more pasture that was fenced. Well today we extended the fencing. My dad had two buddies from work come out and both my brothers and myself helped. I actually didn't do too much. We have the riding lawn mower and it and the wagon or whatever you call it hooked up to the back. It had supplies and i put the cooler in the back. So, for most of the day I hauled around supplies and drinks. Not a bad job, but for some of the day i just ended up sitting there. I tried to park in the shade as much as I could, but it wasn't always possible. Both my brothers got sunburned. I got some sun and am a little more pink than usual :), but not burned thank goodness. Getting sunburned is so uncomfortable. It's like you don't know where to move or what position to get in, cause where ever you move it doesn't feel that great. omg the shower I took from being outside all day felt ssoooooooo good. And although I didn't get sunburned I did get a little too much sun. I'm not used to being out like that when I'm usually holed up in my room watching blogtv lol and surfing the net lol. 

So i did end up with a good headache but i went to sleep and woke up with a headache free head. So i woke up to go back to my room and watch blogtv again. I watched that for a bit but got sidetracked and ended up watching a couple of hours worth of Little People, Big World. lol but then i got tired of that and came back to blogtv....my obsession really. Actually not blogtv itself but that one particular show... you know how it is hehe well  I wasn't watching very long, unnecessary drama happened and that was the end of that temporarily of course i hope... So I'm sitting here typing this when i should be typing my three assignments that are do on the 15th... yeah. the worst thing about it is that they are not that hard....AT ALL. Yet I can't seem to do the right thing and just do them. RIGHT NOW I need to do them NOW I tell you... and i still probably wont do them tonight.... woe is me

Blogtv's Response

This is a response to the email I sent them. To read the email scroll down to the previous post.

We have decided to open our site to ages 13 and up as we believe our rules and regulations, when followed, should maintain an environment conducive to all ages. You will see that 90% of the live broadcasting/video/community sites have the same age requirements.

The important thing for all of us to do, as staff and community, is to continue reporting those people who break our rules. Any time you see a person speaking inappropriately or behaving inappropriately on camera to anyone of any age, save the chat or take a screen shot right away and send the saved chat or screen shot to moderation@blogTV.com so that the moderators can remove the person from the site immediately.

Now, more than ever, we will be fiercely enforcing our rules. The breaking of these rules will not be permitted under any circumstances.

Furthermore, we are developing a new feature that will allow adults to lock their rooms so that young people cannot get in and vice versa. The lock will automatically keep adults out of the teenager's broadcasts. Until then, we are carefully observing the broadcasts of the teens.

Regards,

The Letter I Wrote to blogtv

okay so I know you are tired of getting emails from me, but there are some things that need addressing. feel free to not respond to this email, but I feel the need to write it.

 

I know you are getting a lot of heat (or at least you should be) about lowering the age requirement to 13. Frankly I have no clue as to the messed up reasoning behind this. Most 13 yr olds have no clue to the consequences of certain actions they may do. In the messed up world that we live in they think that dressing slutty at ten and showing their boobs to a hundred people on the internet is the correct thing to do. Maybe not the correct thing to do, but they don't necessarily think its wrong. I don't know if you realize you are enabling these kids, but you are. It's almost as if you are taking advantage of the fact that nowadays parents think that when a kid reaches a certain age they need less supervision when in fact they need more. And because you have lowered it so that they can broadcast themselves they are being babysat by some pervs. It's as if blogtv and the parents are working together to screw up kids lives. Now I now this isn't true in every case, but if it is the case in at least one instance, then it requires action. And it has definitely been the case.

 

Okay the next thing is mods. I respect the mods a great deal for what they do, so much that I have one as a friend  They problem is that there are times that not one mod is on. blogtv is a 24 hour operation (except for when it has those moments ) and there isn't a mod always on. I have been in a room before and saw female breasts and flagged it. I know for a fact that it was also flagged by six other people. Nothing was ever done. No mod came in. It is most likely that there wasn't one on at the time or that one was already busy. A bigger case was one that just happened recently as of tonight. There was 3 girls live (one show) and they were at most 13. they were showing there boobs to over 100 people. The room was flagged of course but no one came. One of the girls said that when the room reached 150 that she would show her vagina. Well of course the room hit 150 and she did as promised. Now probably 50 screenshot of this child's private parts all over the internet and that is something that cannot be reversed. I am not blaming blogtv for this poor girls ignorance merely responading to the problem of blogtvs lack of response in a timely manner. It's an obviously problem. My only suggestions are to set up a schedule ( if you don't already have one) so that at least one or two mods will be on or just get more mods.

 

So I've said my bit and it's all I can really do at the moment. As I said feel free to pass over this. All I'm really asking is that these problems be addressed. I really don't want to see blogtv on the news cause of some 13 yr old got abducted or raped or something. If it happened to myspace it can happen to you. Your even more at risk cause its live! I like blogtv and I met some good friends here. I want to stay here and so do a lot of people.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Katarina

 

P.S. I'm sure you already got this picture from some concerned folks. It is a screenshot of that poor girl exposing herself. It just goes to show that it is out there and it isn't hard to find. I mean it's one thing when a grown woman does it, caue we all know they've done it on blog, but 13! if she even is that.

(I have removed the link to the picture for obvious reasons. As the person who told me of this incident rightly stated I have more respect for the girl than she does for herself)

blog test from email

this is just a test to see if it will go to my blogger from my email. 

Slept through the night again missing most of the show. Oh well. I'm still tired though. I might take a little nap later so I can stay up through the night this time. 

i wrote an email to blogtv last night with my concerns about the age limit and the lack of response to situations that arise in shows. They have sent me a response, but i find myself not able to read it. I have no idea why. I'll read it later.
