Summertime!
Posted on 21. Jun, 2010 by Katy Fetters in Random
Hey Everyone,
Call it a stress induced hiatus, if you will…but the good news is– I’m back and it’s summertime! I was able to finsih off the school year with some solid grades, but as luck would have it, all those sleepless nights and busy days caught up with me and I am sitting here in bed sick as a dog and about to watch Good Will Hunting! My sister said it’s a great movie, so I don’t mind all this lying around- doing nothing-to get better sort of thing. It feels great to get back on here and talk to you all, it’s been way to long! Hope I didnt disappoint those of you who’ve stayed in the loop with TCP :p
So I hope that you arent all sick with a summer cold like me and are enjoying your time off! I love summertime, its the best…late mornings, late nights, no school, summer jobs to keep ya busy, all so much to look forward to these next few weeks! Any vacay’s or camps planned out? Maybe a new goal list you set for yourself? I know that my goal is to wear my brace more, because there are no excuses now that school is out of the picture! I just have to look into college, read a few british classics, study up for another dose of the SAT in the fall and im set for senior year. Congrats to all the graduates of the class of 2010, that means you too, Greg! You guys are awesome!! Hope college, or whatever you choose to do, will be a great new beginning for you all.
Good news, my mom stumbled upon an article in the OC Register yesterday, and my name and TCP was mentioned concerning the other uses of Botox! How cool is that? Definitely the highlight of my day. Also, Happy Father’s Day to all you deserving, awesome Dad’s out there! Love you Papa.
Well my movie is just about finished downloading, Ill be on again soon, so much to tell! 
Take Care, Katy

Hi!
For the first half of June I also had a cold which would not go away. It was coughing, sore throat and something else.
Which British classics are you reading, or would like to read?
Lately I have become interested in Shelley who was a poet and atheist. And it was either he or Byron who was part of the Greek revolution in the 1830s.
Yes, Good Will Hunting is great, though I haven’t watched it in a few years. Grandad also liked it.

Boy have you been missed!!
I hope you feel better soon Katy! I know have been so busy, but don’t get so busy where you can’t look after yourself ’cause that’s so important. sadly, no camp or vacations for me, which really sucks. In the place of vacation I’ve been exercising, reading and writing which I love to when I’ve got time.
Wear it more huh? Do you have weakness in your foot?
That’s awesome Katy
Have you had botox done?
N’ congrats to Greg

Adelaide-
Yeah, I’m getting better luckily.
I am going to read Frankenstein and Beowolf for my summer English reading. I’m pretty unfamiliar with English Lit other than Great Expectations.
I really enjoyed Good Will Hunting!
Courtney-
Thanks, I feel a lot better!
Glad to have time to finally have things slow down. Having time to think and write and read is always good though! The only vacation I am taking is to Michigan (and Chicago for a day or two in between) to see family, so it will be nice to get away for awhile. I love not having anything on my agenda aside from gym, a bit of work….and relaxation! 
What do you like to write about? I had botox done when I was 10, but I didnt really see much difference because I didnt stretch as much as I shouldve after :/ I was too young to realize the benefit! Not weakness, just tightness!

No problem Katy! I hear you on that one. Oh my goodness, we’ll be close, I’m in WI
great in the Winter. Have fun visiting your family.
Hmm, short stories, my thoughts, poems etc. Do you write at all? I had it after my 2nd surgery n’ that was the last time. This time I think I’ll start getting it regularly, I hear it really helps. Plus, I’ve been exercising too so, I think I’ll be good to go. Have you ever been told to your adductor (inner thigh) muscles were too strong?
Have lots of fun you California girl you!!

Oh thats cool! I love it out there, its such a nice change from this busy place
I’ve never been in the winter though, Ive always wanted to go.
Yes I write all the time! Just little thoughts of mine as well…Ive started to keep a notebook on me for the summer, I think its good to always be thinking.
I’m a bit nervous about approaching my parents about doing any sort of botox or stuff like that because I’ll just get lectured again on how I never keep up on my strecthes. Thats baddd i know! :/ Thats so good, what have you been doing for exercise? Hmm no, instead my right leg just overcompensates for my left a lot since I dont have CP on that side. When I’m in the gym I try to train just my left side so I wont be as unevenly strong.
Thanks, the beach is so fun these days! What do you do out there in WI?

Oh my goodness, it’s so much more fun in the winter!! You gotta come one of these days!!
I’ve been keeping my thoughts written for over a year, looking back at it, I feel so much older. Do you get that feeling?
Well hey I’ve been there, it’s all about how focused you are. It’s like you wanna do you stretches n’ have time for other things too but it just seem to be happening.
Same here, I try n’ work my right leg moreso than the left. I wouldn’t say I don’t have CP on one certain side because both legs aren’t “normal” to a certai extent. Know what I mean?
Hmm, go to the lake and chill out at the parks for a while, just to get some fresh air. At home, my dad n’ step mom are usually busy or tired (they’re old seriously) Personally though, I go find my friends n’ just hang out for the day ’til we’re tired. The winters are better lol it’s hard sayin’ what I typically do for the summer.
Lol, do you guy’s even have winters?

Yeah I think my parents will hopefully plan a winter trip one of these days…im actually considering college out in michigan too
I totally get that feeling about my writing, its weird but cool to be able to look back on what was on your mind at one point. Its nice to revisit your own thoughts because most of the time they end up being forgotten. I was bummed awhile ago because i kept a few poems that i enjoyed writing on my phone, which broke….and i dont know if i can write them again
I havent felt inspired yet. Yeah I just ran a lot today and I feel like my toes are really tight for some reason. Does that ever happen to you? Yeah I know what you mean, I feel it sometimes in my hand too. and even i feel like i squint with my left eye more when im out on the sun, like cp could possibly even affect my face muscles too. who knows, maybe its my imagination haha.
Oh cool, what lake? whenever we go to Michigan, the place is always right off lake michigan, which is beautiful. except the water temperature is bipolar out there sometimes with all the storms that happen! yeah i can imagine winters being more fun sometimes because of the humidity. but thats me just being picky since the weather out here is usually amazing! haha and to answer your question, no! our ‘winters’ consist of 50 degree weather for about a month or two, and by noon it gets up to about 60ish. hah anything below 50 we all die out here and have to bring out our coats and put our flip flops away. haha sometimes i wish we had four seasons of weather, but its about 60-75 all year round.

Awesome!
Oh geez, I’m sorry that happened to you. I’ve had a similiar experience where I wrote a story when I was about 11 and I totally lost it. No actually, not a tight feeling in my toes. My toes don’t move very much. Yeah, CP does affect your face muscles, I’ve had a few facial spasms to prove it. Lol, nope, it’s a reality!
Lol, lake Michigan
haha try below 0 
that what we get here sometime in winter…n’ don’t get me started on the wind chill buuuuuurrrr!! lol I shiver just thinkin’ about it!
I couldn’t swap with you! lol my hair is curly/ethnic/black whatever you wanna call it but I couldn’t do it!

Oh really? Wow, okay then that clear up my questions! Haha.

Alas, it wasn’t typed up or anything like that I had it written down in purple ink. I sure do miss that story though
but for every loss something is always won.
At the moment, I’m working on getting my latest piece of work published
Yep
anything other questions I can help solve?
Hahaha, I’m so used to it thought
How are you?
Hey, your a CPer, I’d think you’d last at least a week
besides your pretty strong I’m sure.
Yes, it definitely is!!

Wow getting it published?! Awesome
You can do it! Ive gotten a few poems/ stories published before, its very rewarding.
Hm no questions for now, thank you though! Its comforting to know youre here.
I am very well, thank you. Summer has been fun…the weather has not been very nice but I dont mind.Its nice just to be with friends and what not.
Im sure I could last a winter, i would just need some serious clothing! My sandals and hoodies wouldn’t cover it :p
How is your summer going?
