¡Bienvenido!

so....first of all if u didn't read my last entry - please do so and please comment! I think I posed a very good question

Tomorrow I start training for my job! YAY! wish me luck!

I'm gonna sleep on it tonight....but I think I'll continue to pledge Mu Beta Psi...mostly b/c it would be a good think for my resume, a good life experience, and anyway my pledge class rocks my world - yeah Six Free Bagels! (am I allowed to say that??!?!)

Ok now onto ranting and raving....something I try to keep to a minimum in my journal but after reading CHuck's I had to say something.
In regards to his entry about not constantly "dressing up" to conform to society...I will admit I'm guilty of that - but half of it is because I just enjoy dressing up, looking nice, and smelling nice, a lot for myself...but I'm DEFINITELY guilty of having low self-esteem (esp. as far as FAT) but I'm trying to work on that....in more ways than one - make myself look better or just accept my appearance and love it b/c it's beautiful , and if it's not then I'll just fall back on my sparkling personality

now onto band....I really do like Dr. Garcia, he's a cool guy, but I AM sick of his flirting w/the dance team, giving certain people priveledges when they really shouldn't have them...I can't go into that for sake of people's anger and feelings - and I really wish he'd take into account that (new info. thanks to Hobday) years ago we were a dancing band...we danced (for at least 1 song) during half time. We DO NOT compete...we're simply a crowd-pleasing band. If he wants us to be OSU he's got to accept that that's a LONG WAY AWAY. We're NC State. Why can't we just be NC State and love our goldfishes?!?!??! oiy Maybe he should be directing a band like OSU, y'know? because he does have a lot of skill and talent, and like I said before I love the guy - he helps me w/my car and likes Led Zeppelin and Super Troopers! So I'm not bashing him per say, sorry if it came off that way

I swear I had more to say....I still can't find Led Zepp disc 2 I'm really upset about that....that box set was my pride and joy!(how sad is that?)

ummm....I have to repair the Katmobile tomorrow...freakinay stooopid money

much love,
~K*Rah

so this weekend was super duper extra special + 1 fun!!!!! I had a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday I worked (yay!) but mostly did a lot of manual labor to prepare for opening day, so I was exhausted, so I came home and took a nap. Then Tyrone and I went over to Matt's to celebrate his birthday! YAY! happy birthday matt!!!!!!!!!!!

That was fun b/c then I was kinda drunk goin on the bus Helped me sleep a lot better b/c they are the most uncomfortable things. . . EVER! Pickle, E-Beth and I had some lovely conversations then slept for like 0.025 seconds. We had breakfast @ McDonald's and can I tell you how good their music was?!?!? THey played my favorite song Mack the Knife by Bobby Darin!!! OMG their music rocked my world and even tho I got made fun of it was crazy cool

so then I think we did the mad libs....I can't remember exactly, but always remember to dive with an erection when scuba diving. The game sucked, no comment, but PLEASE continue to support our team! Don't bash 'em....even though we SUCKED still be all wolfpacky and stuff, mmmkuhy?

but uuh Sat. night was SOO MUCH FUN! We walked around Atlanta, had dinner at Hooters (YUM their food is so good), then came back at about 8 and started drinking we played never have I ever and ran around and socialized and I almost got stuck in an elevator b/c I didn't have acard, and I jumped on some beds here and there, then had to go to the staff meeting! AH! It was so hard to be serious, but with the help of Tony I did fine

I woke up with a pretty bad hangover....I never ever get those probably b/c I never drink that much, but it was pretty bad and I slept for quite some time on the bus...then....we stopped for lunch only they were closed b/c Dr. Fuller and Dr. Garcia are freaking idiots so then we stopped again and ate at the Olive Garden and got left and I hate Dr. Garcia I wish he would be fired and stop hitting on all the girls and stop trying to change everythign and I wish people wouldn't post in their journal about how we were "ballsy" b/c we were smiling and late....WE DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE!!! AAASKHCVOAISUHCVAOIU8SDHOVGIASYHDORUI!! And the reason I smiled when I was coming on the bus is b/c I was nervous, and when I'm nervous I smile so BITE ME

ok If youc an't tell that ticked me of real bad....but then we watched remember the titans and it was all good I heart that movie!

that is all for now, brown cow

much love,
K*Rah

p.s. - come visit me @ port city java @ falls of the neuse!

I would just like to say how much I LOVE the C-store! I went grocery shopping there tonight and not a dollar came out of my empty pocket...which is good b/c otherwise I'd be in debt? right...well anyway I'm really excited about breakfast tomorrow! (yeah apple jacks)

but uuuuh I was supposed to go to work at 6 AM today....not 6 pm I felt like such an idiot! at least Karin was really nice about it But I had fun! I got to make a Milky Way, a skinny latte, and I made the head boss lady Barbara a breve capp w/2 shots decaf and 1 regular...so that was SO exciting! Especially since she was so excited about how good it was and thought that I was the best new barista! HOORAY!

I'm still a bit nervous though, I go in at 6 (AM THIS TIME AM!!!!) on wednesday, and that means . . . MORNING RUSH! So I really have to study my drinks so I don't make a fool of myself :-o

So I'm gonna get like 3 or 4 hours of sleep now . . . I really need to be better at that. I'm getting better at my eating habits, now I need to apply that to study habits and sleeping habits! It's almost 4 frickin o'clock! What are my plans?!?!? I'm gonna be so tired tomorrow, then I gotta get up at 5am wed. d'oh well - I definitely learned my lesson

BUT on a lighter side it was totally fun hangin out w/everyone! yay for Pickle! (that's what i like to call a "shout out")

Marching band today SUCKED. A bunch of people were really hurting my feelings and ac ouple ticked me off - but at least I got to leave early, and Julia's a peach!

I played raquetball w/tyrone and pickle today! it's SO MUCH fun!!! Too bad I suck horribly and screwed like every single hit EVER up but I still had a blast!

And I had the Greek wrap and a house salad @ my coffeehouse today and it was SOOO good. OMG it was so good. So if you come visit me you'll have good food! And of course good drinks (yeah slushin joe!) you really should holler at me some day over there

and now off to get NO sleep
much love,
~Kat :*

hey there! so even though I got like 3, maybe 2 hours of sleep last night, I got up and went to classes! Aren't you proud of me? It was hard though, I definitely kept almost falling asleep in MDS....which is all of a sudden a really hard class! I'm gettin Ry to come over and help me study though, so hopefully it'll be ok

and I hung out w/some of my favorite people after class today only then we got on the topic of "the incident" and I got really stressed out again...but I'm not going to go into that b/c it'll stress me out again and I'll type FOREVER, so anyway...

I have to get up at 5am tomorrow and I'm not ready for the morning rush, but that's my fault. I'm gonna try and study some tomorrow morning, but anyway it'll be good to finally get the practice in, I need it!

Then I think E-beth and I are gonna go try and play disc golf after I get off work! YAY! Cuz no band, whcih is good b/c I'm sick of all them anyway (minus my friends, you guys are cool

I keep having people over, which is awesome b/c I love company, but I think they were too loud last night and that makes me feel AWFUL! I hope I wasn't waking them up and everything....although right now she's playing REALLY LOUD music and hangin out w/ a bunch of people and I'm tryin to sleep early....but I guess I deserve it heehee

There was a roach! AN ENORMOUS ROACH! It tried to crawl on my shoulder but luckily Hobday screamed! ....OMG I'm so scared to death of bugs, esp. roaches and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then Kelli said she had to kill one in our shower the other day, which I really wish I didn't know b/c now I'm freaked out. I JUST got over the roach from like 2 months ago so I really hope I don't see anymore or I'll be panicking forever :-o

and now I rest until the crack of butt
much love,
K*Rah

so I've been up for 24 hours now so this entry's gonna be short and incoherent preobably

Work was super duper fun! I didn't really get to make lots o' drinks but it was fun regardless and can I just say that I am the CAPPUCINNO MASTER!!!

I work fri. at 6am till 2, you should come by! (we open at 6:30)

today I had a bad day, lots of things went wrong and due to my lack of sleep I was super crabby so the things that went wrong were TICKING ME OFF SO BAD but then I had dinner w/the crew @ fountain (surprisingly good) and they cheered me up I'm sorry for being a super b*tch guys, you rock my world!

Then I came back and went on THE BIGGEST CLEANING FRENZY EVER due to a roach incident the other day. That and of the 2 people that actually stay here only one of us cleans....::cough::me::cough::

Kelli's so cool but I don't like her "living habits" but she's very nice about it and offered to clean it up onlyyyy by that time I was 74% done soooo oh well

the good thing is now my house is clean

tonight I had like 2034987029384 plans but I couldn't decide which one to do! I heart ALL you guys and wanted to do them all, but I decided to hang out w/people that I NEVER see EVER, ie. David, Phil, and Ryan (and la la of course) and it was TREMENDOUS fun! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee . . . the most random jokes + movies + popcorn+ deliriousness+staying up forever + ''discussions''


I"M SO TIRED

I wonder if my body's gonna be all screwed up again since I have to be up @ 5am again tomorrow, ack!

ok now I bed soooo mcuh bed BED BED BED!

hi! So work today was so awesome! I was up YET AGAIN at 5am, but I'm really proud of myself (not to toot my own horn) for doing that! it's rough, I tell ya, and I don't mean to complain but when I'm THAT tired it's all I can think about

BUT I reckon it's my fault b/c what happens is that I want to hang out w/everyone so I end up staying up till never o'clock and getting up at the crack of butt anyway - therefore I'm super tremendously sleep deprived

but before I discuss why work today was so awesome, I tell you that NC STATE WON!!! WOOOO!!! and SO DID THE CUBS!! WOOO!!! and SO DID THE YANKEES! WOOO!

and the game yesterday was awesome as well. I was DREADING going there. You have no idea. I was thinking of things I could say to get out of the game. I was crabby, tired, and afraid that people were gonna be buttheads like they had been doing the week prior. HOWEVER, everyone was so freakin funny and happy and nice and then there was so much hotness everywhere, then we won, then we ate taco bell then I was in the best mood ever And we allwatched Toy Story 2 last night - I LOVE disney movies, particularly of the pixar persuasion.

in other news I'm completely out of cash not to mention about $23904720934 in debt, but hey, who needs money?

so I got to work this morning after what felt like 5min. of sleep. literally, I got about 7 hours, but I felt like I had JUST laid my head down when BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP (only a lot more annoying and horrible than that). but anyway, it was Annie and Allison there again, and in the past, Allison has ticked me off A LOT. Annie's cool, a little strange (but aren't we all?) and is REALLY into japanimation, but she's really nice and smart and a great barista. Allison, however, has some sort of an authority complex, so she's been telling everyone what to do .....but she does it wrong. She's the best conversationalist and does so awesome at the register but when it comes to drinks and what not she knows nothing (b/c she hasn't done any yet!)

So me being the sensitive perosn I am took all her comments personally and I was also so ticked off that this chick is walking around telling me what to do b/c she's older....that's the only reason.

BUT....then all of a sudden she was so nice. I don't know, maybe it was after her first cigarrette break (I'm not saying that to be a smart a$$, I think it really was), but she was so friendly, and when I finally decided to correct her on something she was so nice and mature about it, I felt like such an idiot. Maybe she's just not a morning person - and I really wish I hadn't been such a butthead. I wasn't mean to her, but I was just not nice, y'know? Anyway we're good now and I've actually learned more about her so I can know what's going on before I judge poeple


SO THEN this dude came in, and he ordered a drink only I couldn't understand him - I checked his ear and saw an earpiece so I realized he's deaf. So I signed, "can you sign?" and he was SO excited! I don't know sign language, but I know the letters and a couple main words. So he spelled out what he wanted, and it was so much fun! I felt awful saying that I coudln't understand him but I think it was better that I did b/c then he could communicate w/me better It put a smile on his face, and on mine, b/c I used to be very intersted in sign language. I would love to learn it completely but right now I just don't see that happening (the most least free time ever!)

THEN La La (a.k.a. Laura for those of you not in the know) came by! SHe ordered a drink and worked on her paper for about a second. But it was so much fun to have a visitor! Thanks Laura, you made my day!

THEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN this dude had a German Shepard outside and he let me pet it, he was SO beautiful! And so friendly! He was the first Shepard I've petted since Riff, and it brought back good memories I'm definitely getting one when I'm older!

THEENNNNNN this Older couple came in, the woman's name is Shirley - and they were SO sweet and nice! I honestly was looking at her thinking that I want to look like that when I'm her age, but then she was talking to me later and said that I reminded her of herself when she was my age only she said I was so much better looking than her! She was like "you better take care of yourself! You don't want to look like me when you're my age!" and I thought that was SO sad b/c she really was pretty, but I was so embarrassed by the compliment (I turned completely red) that I didn't say anything back. She asked for my name b/c she said she wanted to come visit me one day, so hopefully I'll see her again.

ok last one: This lady came in and ordered 2 cappuccinos, my FAVORITE drink to make (as if you didn't know already). I pride myself on my foaming abilities, so when she said "oh my gosh! GREAT job!" I was so excited! She said that I did so much better than Cup-a-Joe and that she'd switch to our store every morning! YAY! She gets the foam for her dogs, and that reminded me of Belle and Jackson, b/c that's what my mom does too Dogs love it!

I realize it's only my first week or so, but I really do love this job! I just hope it stays that way

Now I'm gonna go take a nap and I GET TO SLEEP IN TOMORROW!!!!!! YIPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

catch you later,
K*Rah

p.s. - halloween party @ my house sat. nov 1st @ 10ish, there will be drinks and costumes are required! spread the word

so guess what I did today - SLEPT IN!!!!!!!!!!
until ONE O CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON!

can I tell you how exciting that was????? omg, I was so happy and in a grrreat mood when I woke up

Karen wants me to work tomorrow @ 4, but I don't get out of class till 3:50 - yikes! I HATE talking to managers about schedule conflicts, for some reason I have this fear that I'm gonna get fired for asking for too much time off or having too many conflicts....but I think I overreact heehee but I really hope I get Sunday off b/c I need to go home, I reckon I'll find out tomorrow!

In other news band was strange today - a lot of people were mean to me today I think what happens is I'm a "one of the guys" girls maybe? But certain people, probably none that read my journal so I don't know why I'm being secretive, (particularly 3 in my section), treat my like crap, and I think it's b/c I'm a girl, and when Brad leaves I'm in charge and for some reason that ticks them off. I was jokin around w/one of them and we were insulting each otehr and he used the "C" word, which isn't funny. ever. Every man should know that and when I told him I didn't like that word he continued to belike "hahah areyou kidding I love that word hahahha that's dumb hahhaha" and continued to say it, then otehr people joined in. grrrr

Ry came over and helped me study, yay! He's super cool and helped me out a lot. I hope I do well tomorrow!

I'm gonna go to bed early tonight (I think)

aaaaaaaaaaaand on a final note....only not really - go visit this website: http://www.vw.com/newModels.htm

I am seriously OBSESSED with Volkswagons. If I didn't already have the SPanish stuff all figured out and what not, I would SO move over to Strassburger Platz, Dresden and work in the Transparent VW Factory which you can see pictures of under the Phaeton link which OMG I <3 the Phaeton, almost as much as the Toureg! the other day @ work I parked NEXT TO A TOUREG!!!!!!!!!! I almost broke in and drove away.....and I almost started humping it. Same with the new Range Rover, although I think the Toureg is way cooler, whihc I really never thought I'd say about ANYTHING in comparison to a Range Rover.

I went and saw the beginning of the Grains concert tonight, and can I just say that they are AWESOME??!?!??! You guys rock!!!! You should really go see them some time, they're amazing!

ok last item of business(for real this time): I really don't know what i want to do in life. Let me show you my options that I'm considering (in no particular order):

1.) Law enforcement - probably NSA, FBI, or DSS - I'll use my Spanish skills mainly
2.) Write for the Rolling Stone - HAAA! never gonna happen, but a nice thought, no?
3.) Write for Cosmopolitan - OMG I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do that, also never gonna happen but I would love that even more!
4.) Work for Volkswagon ....doing anything....sweeping their floor, buying socks for their manager, I don't care
5.) Open my own business - probably a restaurant. I have tons and tons of ideas for one.....but that requires a business degree and I definitely don't want to do that - yuck!

how do I find out what I want to do?!?!? AAAH!!!!!

ok now I'm gonna go study then go to bed

holler back

yeah I worked tues. night, I think? and we were just about to close when a bunch of the uppperclass latte-women come in and order things like that ROAR! Which normally I don't mind, but we had everything cleaned up....but oh well

I had to take thurs. and sun. off this week :-/ I'm scared b/c now I feel like she's gonna give me less hours b/c I'm unreliable? EEK! I hope not, I really need the money. I get my first paycheck today Too bad all of it's getting spent on bills I'm not gonna have a paycheck to myself for probably another month. But oh well, it'll be nice to have the bills done

We beat Clemson! I don't know why it's such a big rivalry, but we were SO excited - I'm guessing textiles? hahhahh

I'm fixin to go home for the weekend and I am SO excited! I miss my home so much and my dogs and my yard and the lake and my parents AND I get to see Hillary this weekend! YAY! AAANNNDDD I get company this time when I drive home that makes me happy

I really had so mcuh more to say but uuuuh I reckon I'll update that later
...I close with a conversation w/Melinda:

~K*Rah

can I get an AMEN!?!?!? I LOVE LOVE LOVE my family And my home I needed this trip home so bad, I can't even explain it to you. My sister is so mature now and we talked a lot last night, she gave me the best advice...

I love my house, and the dogs (duh) and my parents, and the lake, and omg...I just lov emy home! I miss it so much when I'm gone, and I really wish I could just stay home and have a silly job like F.Y.E....but I know that I have so much more I want to do in life. (not that that wouldn't be fufilling...anyway)

I need to be more of a b*tch, for real. Sometimes, well...a lot of times I let people just walk all over me and I don't say anything, and I really shouldn't do that (duh). But I think it's b/c I worry so much about people liking me. I get so stressed out when people are mad at me or don't like me, it's so stressful! I hat confrontation, andI really need to get over that.

another thing is that I feel like I should try and save everyone when I see things that make me sad. I knw that sounds childish and ridiculous and silly, but like, I wish I could comfort everyone who ever feels lonely, save an animal before it crosses the street, save every dog and cat @ the humane society, tell that girl I saw today not to cut herself and let her know how beautiful she is and that no matter what, life never gets so bad that you should end it. Life is a gift....I don't know

I look back @ things I've done in the past and I'm like "why did I do that?" I need to stand up for myself more, but like Hillary said, it definitely isn't an overnight thing. Inch by inch, life's a sinch, yard by yard, life is hard

Something else I've been contemplating is what makes people stand out. Lately I've been realizing that a lot of times it's not even genuine qualities or good ones for that matter, and that makes me really sad.

I wish I wasn't leaving tomorrow, I wanna stay home some more!

I have so much more to contemplate........here I go!
~K*Rah

testing testing 1 3 20934092834

Wow.....this is so exciting! I finally did "the switch" and can I tell you how nerdy that was of me to just say that? VERY NERDY. But this really is a better more user-friendly site . . .

Anywho, I already miss home But I've realized lately how lucky I am to have a family that I love so much. For real - I see all these people who hate their parents or don't get along with them, or don't look forward to going home, and I'm just so glad that I do. I love my family!

I watched Tahben's game tonight - they won!!! I saw #8.52 again...sooo hot, want to touch the heiny....(get it? Like in Billy Madison?) and anyway he said "holler" - I <3 him

It was so nice to have company on the ride home today, Pickle and I talked a lot and it was so fun! Interesting, but nice

If you can't tell, I love these faces! ok....but tomorrow I need to run a few errands and I reallyyyyy need to clean my room! And also don' tlet me eat fat things anymore! I feel so unhealthy

A lot of things from the recent past keep coming up in conversation and it makes me think about it more and I don't like it....I wish it'd just GO AWAY! *sigh* . . . . evil evil Satan

I gotta work Tues. from (allegedly) 4pm to 8pm...but I don't think this chick understands that I FRICKIN have class every FRICKIN tues. and thurs., it's not just a random thing that i choose to go to...DIDN"T YOU GO TO COLLEGE??!?!??! ROARRR!!!!!

ok the end, leave comments so I can see it say hot hollerins!
much love,
~Kat

p.s. - the pic is of my braided hair from the RENNAISANCE FESTIVAL!!!!WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!! I had so much fun and they have the best pickles EVER and I had turkey leg and omg I love it.
p.p.s - I know I probably spelled "rennaisance" wrong....but uuuh...I will never know how to spell it ever
p.p.p.s - I know how to spell onomatopoeia

hello and welcome back to the Katrin show! TOday I slept in (YAY!) b/c I didn't have to work at the crack of butt, then I went to band...

which was so super fun b/c there was not much work involved, but lots o flirting which is always good (and no I'm not a whore)

speaking of whores, don't forget about my Halloween party on Nov. 1st!!! about 10pm, there will be drinks....let me know if you think there will be as mcuh people as my first one - I don't know how much "drinks" to prepare

But back to band, I called Brian an A-hole.....which kinda felt good b/c I stood up for myself and he WAS being an a-hole, BUT right afterwards I felt so bad and wanted to apologize. I didn't! but I wanted to.....

So then I hung out w/Tahben and Laura which was supercool and fun as usual We were in the Wolve's Den FOOORRREEEVVVERRR! But it was cool and we hung out w/everyone (over that period of FOREVER time)

After I dropped them off I went to SARSbucks on Hillsborough which I was pleasantly surprised to find out was open until 11pm!! YAY!

So here comes the responsible part - I bugeted $ for grocery shopping and went and bought HEALTHY and LOW FAT and GOOD food!!! YAY!!! Like yogurt, turkey + bread and junk, lemonade, pretzels, blah blah blah.....so if you catch me about to eat fast food then SLAP ME!

Here's the best parts: first ofa ll I saved
ten dollars!!!
THENNNNN (this part is kinda pitiful) but what I "splurged" on this paycheck, my big present to myself for working was THREE, count 'em, THREE magazines! Cosmo, Glamour, and Marie Claire!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT THE BEST PART EVER is that I bought Jelly Belly Jelly Beans!!! Assorted and Sours!! MY FAVORITE THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE! YAY!

Then I saw Meghan and Tisha when I was leaving! YAY!!!! The best Harris Teeter trip EVER!

So then I came home and made an absolutely marvelous turkey sandwich and what not and cleaned my room and tomorrow I have to work at frickin 4pm again even tho I'm not out of class till 3:50pm AGAIN freakinay

Come visit me tomorrow ! I work till 8

much love,
K*Rah

sooooo first of all I <3 tabulas!!!

I slept in by accident today I missed my first 2 classes! ROAR! I need to crack down for real, especially since SUDDENLY all my classes are hard and chock full o' work! eek!

I went and got lunch w/Laura and we sat in court of the carolinas and what not, like we usually do(with John Wilson of course!!!), and this SMALL CHILD (CHILDREN!!!) came over and climbed the tree and made weird noises and told stories and she was so small and precious! SHe heard me say Katrin and was like "that's my name too! Katherine!" It was SOO presh

So then I saw Captain Kirk and tried to holler at him but it was unsuccessful so when I saw Brandon Turner ( ) I simply HAD to holler louder! He's my 311 buddy!!!! YAY! So he came over then I saw Julia and HOLLERED again! It was super fun

onlyyyyy then I had to go to Spanish..... . .. . that teacher HATES me! I think it's b/c I came in halfway through the semester, but still. Another thing is she has an office w/Mrs. Navey-Davis, my old teacher who "has said nothing but great things" about me so I was all excited only then Ms. Kennedy(my new teacher) was like "SO DON'T LET ME DOWN!!!!!!!" it was super scary. . . .

. . . So that one day I walked in and everyone was taking tests, needless to say I was unprepared. NO idea, and no background cuz I'd only been in that class once....so thankfully I speak Spanish or else I would've gotten a ZERO! She didn't put a grade on it tho, she just corrected some crap ?????? So I think I let her down That makes me feel awful, especially since I should know most of that stuff

THEN I went to work - OIY! don't even get me started. THe other day I called, and Mercy answered and told me I was scheduled today from 4-8pm. So I do my usual "hi this is Kat I can't be in at 4 because I have class (duh) and I'll be in as soon as possible" and Grey was like "ROAR BE IN SOON B/C PEOPLE WILL BE WAITING TO LEAVE ROAR ROAR ROAR!!!" Why must people yell?

and anyway class is more important and anyway he should know by now that I FRICKIN have class freakinay. (for the 29034702934th time in my journal).....BUT it turns out I wasn't even supposed to work today. According to the schedule I have ZERO, that's right....ZERRRROOOOOOO hours this week I really really really need the money right now. Karen, my old manager apparently walked out and quit on us last fri. because she was "too stressed out"....ALKSHVCOS:IZDUV:LZIUOASIURELAIUSE~

If I was that much of a wimp I'd be sitting at home on the couch not doing ANYTHING! Life is stressful, you can't just quit something once it's hard. The moral of the story is that her leaving screwed up my schedule. I'm goin in tomorrow afternoon though b/c hopefully Barbara (my cappuccino fan) will fix it....I really hope so!!!!

So after working for a whopping thirty minutes, I left only to discover that Melinda was coming to visit! YAY!!!! So I stayed and we hung out! She bought a Slushin Joe - YUM, may I reccomend those b/c they're super fantastic, and I had a Hang 10 smoothie, ALSO YUM! (all our juices are freshly squeezed)

Afterwards we left then visited some band friends so I could introduce them, visited lacey and watched men throw and catch things, then came back here to have a NUTRITIOUS and ALREADY PURCHASED meal (yay!) then read cosmo and glamour! It was so fun! I heart Melindafication!

So it was a stressfull but at the same time fun day, and now i go to hang out w/my friends! YEE-HAW!

catch you guys later

p.s. - this picture = drunk

get it? like it's a post? but it's post the original post?
you'd have to be in the "get it" circle to find that one funny I guess...

Anyway I'd just like to say (to add on to previous entry) that I LOVE WHODI!! As well as Incubus and I can't wait to drive to work tomorrow and listen to S.C.I.E.N.C.E the whole time WOO! call if you'd like to join (about noon tomorrow) okbye

sooo today was a nice day - I went to work and got some hours (thank goodness!!!) even though apparently we have practice on Fri.! that sucks b/c I specifically requested fri. hours b/c it's friday.....aaaaaand now I have to go there and be like "um I can't work tomorrow" eek!

Marching band was super fun Then we watched TV in the Wolve's Den FOREVER! It was so relaxing and wonderful!

thennnnnnn I went and watched some of Lacey's game, they won!!!! Only I was SO cold so I had to leave . . . it's definitely that time of year again.

So after attempting to get some work done, I decided to have some people over even though I promised myself I'd go to bed early tonight, shame on me! But it's ok b/c I love my friends

Except this one dude....he's a friend of a friend of a friend I reckon, I don't even know his name - but the SECOND he walked in the door I got bad vibes from him. And my mom has always taught me to trust your gut feeling and act on what your heart says. I really wanted him to leave right away jsut b/c if someone I get bad vibes from is around me, then obviously I won't have fun. But a few min. into our "hang-age out-age" he made a strange comment that was kinda mean. It caught me off-guard and I realized why I got bad vibes....but maybe he was having a bad night?

I dunno....but I really wish I was more assertive. I know that a certain few of you reading this are like "well frickin be assertive already!" but it's definitely NOT an overnight change . . . I realize that I hate 3 things:

1. when people chew SO loud w/their mouth open - EW!
2. people telling me what to do....like how to drive (not where as far as directions, but HOW...have YOU been in a wreck? Then don't tell me to turn or go faster or slower etc.), and how to spend my money, etc.
3. people calling me out in front of my friends. I really hate that b/c first of all it's not neccessary, if I do something to tick you off, then just tell me later, NOT in front of everyone....but also, I don't do it to anyone, so they shouldn't do it to me.

This is kind of a b*tchy entry, so I'm sorry but I really needed to get that off my chest.

much love,
Kat

p.s. - SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT MY PARTY!!!! Nov 1st at 10pm, costumes preferred, there will be a keg, PJ, and (hopefully!!!) jello shots, $5 for a cup
p.p.s - I work at Port City Java! (in case you didn't know)

sooooooo there was a roach in my room last night and I put on armour and chased it around the room w/spray and it crawled behind the "dresser" so I think it's still here! YIKES! I need a big strong man to come DESTROY it hahhaha

ummm guess what I did today . . . . I GOT TO TEST DRIVE A VOLKSWAGON JETTA!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE VW!!! It was so super fun and that car was SO smooth and wonderful...the ONLY bad part was that there was a beetle convertible I could test drive....and it was orange!!! my FAVORITE color! blast! but it's straight, I definitley love VW even more now! I entered to win one, that'd be supercalifragilisticexpealidocious


oh! and my scary spanish teacher was real nice today! She said i could just do a presentation by myself about music in Spain! yee-haw!

you know what else is exciting? today in class I was getting annoyed with the mistakes people were making w/their Spanish! YAY! That means I know stuff but it's still annoying lol


aand I went into work today and YET AGAIN I had to leave b/c there were too many people...freakinay! but it's straight b/c I'm workin 9-5 on sat. and 4-cl on sunday! YOU, yes YOU should come visit me!!! Port City Java, Falls of the Neuse (that's for you Melinda) for real and get a Slushin Joe and a panini! hollerrrrrr


and now I go watch more flag football

much love amigos,
~K*Rah

so I SHOULD be doing laundry b/c i really am running out of clothes.....I should also be finishing up my spanish project, and I should also be sleeping b/c I'm gonna be super tired tomorrow

I had to close @ work the other day and it SUCKS! the most work . . . . EVER!!! we started at 6 and didn't get out of there till 10:45, yikes! but the good thing was that we have XM radio and b/c no one was there we put on the Latin station which was super fun b/c as usual they said corazón 238402938409328 times, gotta love Latin music.......then we switched to the 90s station which was SOOO Much fun! Joon and Amanda and I were goin crazy up in Port City Java w/some Ace of Base, Montel Jordan, Robyn, STP, etc.....right on!

this once chick comes in w/her husband and kid....the cutest little boy EVER!!! I swear I was about to steal him and run away he was so cute!.........anyway she was 38 years old(that's not all I found out...get ready for this..... in the 20min. she was there I found out her age, her weight, her relationship history, her pregnancy history, her job, fake boob info., that it was her "time of the month," and I'm sure there's more.....it all started b/c she was like "do I look emaciated or anorexic to you?" ....which you hsouldn't ask a complete stranger b/c that's just weird, and anyway she did. She was about 5'8'' and 107lbs. SO SKINNY! but of course i was like "nooooo!!! why?" and she said her husband (who was super hot btw...I guess that's why they produced a super cute kid) thought she was too skinny and looked awful and 10years older. She said that she lost the weight b/c she had a dead baby in her fallopian tubes and was internally bleeding so was not hungry and the weight just stayed off.....she said she felt wonderful, which is important, but she really did look like she was wasting away. At one point she turned around and said "IS THAT NOT AN ASS?!?? he says I have no ass! psssaah!" She said she loves her fake boobs and doesn't wear a bra...which we could all see when she walked in freakinay.....needless to say it was interesting, enetertaining, and disturbing hahah


but anyway work is good, life is eh...quite stressful and I HATE MONEY!!! HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!

my halloween party is gonna rock your world, so go to it and spread the word! (sat. @ 10/11pm costumes, keg, pj, jello shots, $5 cup, hollerrr)

and my computer was broke for like 2 days w/no internet so I started convulsing but luckily Tyrone fixed it! (kinda hahah) stooopid wires, who'da thunk they had to be all ....intact and everything? oiy!

Sat. was super fun, Marley came to visit!!! YAY! I <3 you Marley!

You guys should come visit me @ work for real! Tyrone and Pickle did onlyyyyyyyyyyy I was in a meeting - sorry guys! I work Fri., HOLLAween night....but hopefully I can go see barefoot manner afterwards! ::fingers crossed::


the end? homework time + no sleep EVER time
g'night,
~Kat

I'm about to work on my mus project w/E-beth, but so I don't have to explain more than once my day, here goes:

it was rainy and that sucks, but it's ok . . . it was a pretty good start, music was interesting and my spanish presentation went GREAT!

then. . ..

I went to work, which was cool b/c I found out I got a shift lead position! yay! That means I close, count money, get to tell people what to do(sometimes),etc etc.....

but apparently what it reallly means is that I'm doing 75% more work for the same measly salary. Seriously. I've never worked so hard in my life. Laura and Torben came to visit and that was AWESOME! they really cheered me up but first of all Mercy, who's a great guy, real funny blah blah blah....didn't do ANYTHING. He's really helpful on barista (the espresso bar and stuff....basically making drinks). But that's it. he doens't clean up after himself, he doesn't straighten up throughout the day, he didn't do the assignments I asked him to do, he doesn't do cashier, he stayed past his time (which he was told NOT to do by the manager), then left (literally) RIGHT before the work started.

I closed w/Karin - she too is awesome. I love the people I work with and they're all really nice. Especially Amanda and Karin. Yet Karin also did not do a damn (pardon my french) thing. Amanda does work....Karin counted the money and THAT'S IT.
here's a list of the things I did that kept me after closing for 2 hours:

~ mopping EVERYWHERE (by myself)
~ backwashing espresso machine (by myself)
~ polish ALL silver (by myself)
~ wash dishes (by myself)
~ stock refrigerator (by myself)
~ clean refrigerator (by myself)
~ take out trash (by myself)
~ stock food for morning (by myself)
~ empty coffepots and fill w/hot water for morning (all 8 by myself)
~ I'm pretty sure there's more.....

also, the things that happened to me during this time
~ broke EVERY single nail
~ cut my thumb w/a knife
~ and I think I sprained my ankle.


now I have to do a project.
I'm still in debt.
I have to buy everything for the party by thursday even tho I have no money or time
I have to work tomorrow night
I have to work halloween night....and close meaning I might not be able to see Barefoot Manner which also means that I'll pay Elizabeth back (YES I will, no matter what) for something I don't see

at times like these I wish I had my dogs, my family, or a man . . . .


~Katrin

so hey! work was 20398r209384029834 times better tonight even though I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired and not in the mood to work it was straight b/c Ali was there. She's worked for PCJ for about 7quadrillion years so we were done in a jiffy.

the bad news is not only am I working on Fri., I may be the only one closing That's really SO much work and also kinda scary it's creepy there by yourself....hopefully I can find someone to work w/me.

Tisha came to visit today! hooray! We talked about dogs!!! let me tell you a story about how I love dogs: I love dogs, the end. and tomorrow I might go visit her @ Meghan where she housesits so I can see all the dogs! yay!

tomorrow I'ma try to get out of spanish b/c some dude (AGAIN) is coming in to talk IN ENGLISH about engineering b/c apparently that class is "spanish for engineers" I wrote her a letter saying I had an appt. for my ankle....

speaking of my ankle...it feels a lot better b/c i tended to it earlier, but let me tell you about Dr. Complete and Total F*ck HEAD (a.k.a. Dr. Garcia) and how he came over and said "suck it up and go march" only he was seirous. I said "I'm not marching on what could be a sprained ankle" after which he proceeded to mock me in a "baby's" voice. I HATE HIM! ! ROAR!!!!!


but uuuuuh tomorrow's gonna rock b/c I don't have to work aaaaaaaand I'm makin all the PJ and e'eythang hooray! you better be @ my party! b/c I <3 you!


ok now I go work on project
much love,
~K*Rah

The day is approaching. . .. .


PARTY!!!! Pretty much everything is set up and made and what not, yeee-haw!!!!

Only it's not really approaching...b/c this week is going by S O F R E A K I N G S L O W ! ! ! oiy

I have to worktomorrow night (I repeat) so if you're bored from 6 to 11, PLEASE come by! I doubt anyone will but you could try real hard

Can't wait to see barefoot manner tomorrow night! I just hope I get out of work early enough! Either way I'ma have some fun!

My costume is SOOOO ghetto, but it's still cute so oh well. My tail may not be dry for quite some time tho . . . . .

aaaaaand my parents might be coming up for the Maryland game!!!! that would rock my world so much! I would love them to see us march and see a State game live! or whatever you call that....like in person or something


Now I'ma go read some of my book (Simpson's and Philosophy...you should go buy a copy, it's awesome), have a splendid evening!

much love,
Kat
