December 2nd, 2003

fun times + reflections

¿Que pasa man?

Saturday night I played pool w/Tisha, Meghan, Preston, and Steve, and let me tell you guys it has been TOO long!! It was super fun even though I was there for -2.47 seconds and played AWFUL....thennn I watched Sex and the City for a long long time, then slept in with no alarm to wake me up going BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP which was awesome *sigh*

Sunday Meghan and I did our traditional hanging out and went shopping at Crabtree mall, which was the most successful shopping trip I've ever had, and it took only about an hour! Probably b/c of the lovely Meghan who assisted me thank you dahling!

then I hung out that night w/the "regulars" (haha) and we played Spades!!! It has also been too long since I've played spades....some of my favorite memories (so far) at NC State are from last year and this summer playing spades and just having an awesome time w/Lacey and Travis and Larry and all them, awwww! *tear*

Today was a very musical day, and guess what - I MADE PEP BAND ON SOUSAPHONE!!!! WOOOHOO!!! I'm super excited, it's gonna be great

Also today I made a new CD w/mainly Ween on it, some old some new. But ALSO, half the reason I was in such a terrific mood today(besides the fact I was wearing my most favoritist shirt EVER), is b/c these 3 songs that are sooo cheerful and awesome are on it:

1.) The Polyphonic Spree - Reach for the Sun (you may recognize from VW Beetle commercial b/c VW is the best type of car ever)
2.) The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
3.) This song by Ween that I downloaded as Chocolate Town....it's not Chocolate Town but it's SO awesome, and no one knows what it's called....so IM me if you want it

Tonight I saw the Packabelle's concert w/guests the Pitchforks from Duke...which no offense (b/c they were super awesome), but you could SO tell that each and every one of those guys were from Duke hahha, aka they wore khakis and sweater vests (hahhaha jewhamsdj)

One of the dudes looked exactly like Rick, a dude I used to date....it was crazy!!!! Well he looked a tiny bit older, but was still a spittin image of him...a.k.a he was hot. It made me reflect on my FYE days, (when I worked at F.Y.E in Concord Mills, {for your entertainment; a CD store} for those of you not in the know)

I had the MOST success w/men there, who knows why....but I never took any initiative or anything! I was so shy, and still am, but waaayyyy more so then. I was just reflecting, which led to other reflectionification....

I thought of some thing sthat drive me insane about myself and about other people too

about myself:
~ worry WAY too much....about EVERYTHING
~ feel sorry for people too much (not good if I plan to be a police officer
....I had more but I don't want to list my faults b/c that's distastful haha

about others:
~when girls (or boys) HAVE to have a boyfriend (or girlfriend) to function!!! It's more rampant in women, hence using them first....but it just drives me insane!!! Like they need other people to complete them, oiy!
~ when people chew really really loudly
~ when people overreact about things

I also noted that when somebody says or thinks that i can't do something, then I HAVE to do it.....for instance when I said I wanted to do sousa, there were a few people that said I couldn't therefore I'm trying harder.

and I also noted that I hate when people worry about me or give me too much attention....esp. when it comes to my emotions. I definitely internalize everything, which I'm sure isn't healthy hahah

that's the end of my reflections

. . . I'm going to get NO SLEEP EVER this week b/c I have 209347q90w382092834 papers to write - YAAAHHH!!!! That and the fact that I've had a very scary nightmare every night for the past week and a half :-/

and also I might go visit cold stone creamery tomorrow! mmmmm

so good luck to all of you on dead week/finals, and also everybody who's sick hurry up and get better! I miss healthy everybody!

much love,
Kat

After going to bed entirely too late, I woke up and went to class during which I had to slap myself to stay awake....then lunch....then more class - my spanish. Thta's the one I switched into in the middle of the semester, and I had SO much fun today! I talked to a bunch of the people and they were real nice....too bad thurs. is the last day I'll see them, good timing, ay?

After class I ate w/Meghan, Jon (WILSON), and Kali (super surprise guest!) She's so awesome!

thennnn I hung around price forever and hobnobbed w/the Jazz I folk...then I almost went to chapel hill but my car was like "NO YOU'RE NOT!"

then I went back to price, then came here and E-beth and I covered scary topics like earthquakes and armageddon and...yikes! I don't like it

Tomorrow I have a paper due (eeew.....), then band ball voting, then tomorrow night's my first pep band game on SOUSA!!!!!!! YAY!

"boobs"?

today was a splendid day!

I would first like to point out that. . .. . I wore socks today! (no lie!) unfortunately that means that it's getting colder and colder every day, and I don't like cold weather! (unless I'm skiing or playing in the snow, but even then.....)

So anyway I got up and finished my EDP paper in 30min., which was a nice burden off my mind....and LUCKILY my MUS paper isn't due till next wed.! Yay I get to write about an ESTONIAN!!!!!


I then went ot marching band which was kinda sad b/c it was the last one! I love marching band + football season SO MUCH....and even tho this semester kinda sucked, I can't wait till next fall! Speaking of next _____s, next semester is going to ROCK MY WORLD!

...I'm taking 2 spanishes, GREEK MYTHOLOGY, pep band(sousasousasousa), Statistics(whatev), water aerobics, hopefully wind ensemble, and I think that's it? Isn't that the best EVER!? I love it!

Today was my first basketball game on sousa and let me tell you that I had an AWESOME time!!! It was so fun I had fun w/Nala, E-beth, and Friar Tuck too! Apparently my 'sousa' name is now Katrin 'boobs' Rahe hahaha....

Funny story about that - after the game, b/c that's what Hobday signed my name as, Dr. Garcia was like "boobs?" and I was like "...that's just what they call me..." and he just walked away it was SO FUNNY p.s. I hate him

After that I hung out in price w/Jon Wilson and E-beth, which was awesome b/ c it was nice to not have to be somewhere I saw the entire universe in there while dancing around doing triple axles haha

I can't wait till tomorrow and Friday...this week is turning out to be 23904823048 times better than I thought it was gonna be, which is awesome

The band ball is gonna be super duper fun and if you're not going then you should do it yo! I hope I win best smile and most huggable!!!! I definitely didn't win friendliest though...Hailey beat me by like 2347890 votes, but I can't wait to see the rest of the awards, those are super cool

I'm talking about nonsense......

Sunday's football day! (saturday's library day .....yuck)

ok I'm done
much love,

"bun chicka ba bun"

I WILL NOT GET SICK!!!! I'm determined to be the last healthy person standing at NC STATE! I'm sooo sad b/c ALL my friends are sick and all our gatherings have been so quiet and small lately....you guys need to get better soon, I miss you!

.....but ....I WILL not get sick!!! I take a multivitamin every day and drink a glass of (high pulp) orange juice ever morning. I'm tryin to stay away from most sick people, drink more water, and eat more vegetables lately and crap...b/c everyone knows that the flu SUCKS

In other news today was a good day , I had a super fun time and now I get to sleep in!! NO ALARM! yesssss....then I'ma go to the gym, then I'ma hang around, then I'ma go to the band ball, yee-haw! And Meghan's coming!!! YAY!!

I hope to see you all there (I bought a camera bwahahah )

g'night all!

agro cragg!

the agro cragg came up in conversation TWICE today and I think that's freakin awesome yeah Guts


Today I woke up and felt like sh*t, so I went for a jog...which apparently is the last thing I should've done....but it helped me wake up! I'm still fighting the battle of illness...I WILL NOT GET SICK!

So then Meghan came over and did my hair (it was gorgeous!!! THank you girl!!!), and I did her makeup. I had so much fun doing her eyeshadow b/c I = a nerd hahhah. She ended up not going to the band ball (*tear*...we missed you!), but it was still super duper fun....

Tyrone and Chuck and Aaron all weren't there either ( ) Tyrone and i won most huggable boy and girl in band! YAY! The "teddy bear" award! I was disappointed in the amount of hugs I received @ the ball but I got like 290348723048 hugs just now when everybody left so it's all good

the slide show was awesome, my most favoritist picture ever was in it....speaking of pictures I can't WAIT till I develop my roll of film!!!!

Me and my hot date had a spectacular time(you're a peach Zach!)....even tho we didn't get to hang out enough b/c we have different friends and he knows all my friends' friends.....but I also got to hang out w/all my favorite people (well most...minus the ones that weren't there duh)! And Tony's my hero and when we get married (Katrin Leida Sprinkle!), we're gonna go clubbin every night and look for men hahahha

Afterwards I had a few people over, and that dude jeff left b/c his two "ladies" weren't there...HAHAH it was so funny! Too bad they showed up right when everybody left! A bunch of poeple came over and we hung out till like 5:30 hahahha

I'm really mad at SARS .....all my friends are missing all these events and it's so sad! People are coughing up bits o' lung (EW EW EW EW EW EW EW) and everybody sleeps forever! I wish I could tend to all your needs and bring you all chicken noodle soup and vicks vapor rub but I can't even afford to pay attention right now! So all I can say is that i hope you all feel better and ::hug::

The moral of the story is tonight was a great night

Tomorrow's gonna SUCK b/c I have to work on my papers in the library all day (yikes).....Sunday is football day + more paper, then Monday is papers + study..........*sigh*

g'night all! eye ewe

how to change TEH battery

Today after a lovely night's rest I attempted (again) to go visit Melindafication @ UNC...but opted out b/c my car was WEIRDED OUT. I'm sure it'd be fine goin over there, but I'd rather not put more miles on it than necessary, y'know?

So then I did the smallest amount of work on my paper EVER, but it was work nonetheless. Then I hung out with TYRONE and CHUCK!!!! (and E=beth and Allen and Heidi for small intervals in between)

It was SO NICE to see Tyrone!!!! YAY for you being healthy TT!!!! We've missed you We had so much fun kicking gatorade bottles and shopping in Eckerds and throwing things at each other and what not. oh and p.s my pictures turned out great!

Then I came back and relaxed for a hot minute, missed out on pool (sorry guys!) then went to hang out w/Meghan. I had a blast over there as usual! I love you Meghan! Thanks for helpin me w/that song and I hope things get better b/c you definitely deserve a break!

in other news I emailed the pitchfork dude about that song.....and these chicks are talkin sh*t on me. (sorry to my source, but this is definitely journal-worthy) Girls can be SO mean sometimes! No matter how much I despise someone I never make fun of their weight, unless I'm joking around. Mainly b/c I know how insecure I personally am about my figure, but most girls have something they don't like about their body.....and they probably obsess about it. It might be more that i know now that there's people out there that don't like me, and that makes me sad Whatever.....

tomorrow's football, yaaayyyyyyy
g'night,
Kat

buenas dias!

so I have to exams tomorrow and it's 3am!

D'oh well...today was just like any rainy day, I slept in and watched TV all day, which was awesome cuz I haven't been able to just sit around andwatch TV in quite some time. I saw NYPD blue, I love that show!

So then I did some studying for MUS320 w/Tyrone, which was more entertaining than educating, he was @ work so we ended up IMing people instead of working.....but then E-beth and Tony joined us and we actually did get some work done, so that's good

I've been studying since, I hope I do well! My paper should be good...YAY ESTONIA!!!

I really was trying to get home Friday but I dont' know if I can .....I hope my mom doesn't get mad at me, but I'm trying SO hard!!!! My dad's still in Dallas so she needs some company, y'know?

so now I reckon I'ma get a little bit of sleep....I hope I do well tomorrow - yikes!

good luck everybody!
g'night

UPDATE!

hello! how are things? not much is happenin here in big DENVER nc (holleerrrrins)....I came down here like 4902384098234 years ago with 5 days worth of clothes planning to go to the tangerine bowl and what not, but some family troubles kept that from happening. I hope you all had fun though! I saw a bunch of you all UP on that TV!

All is good now, my parents are in Florida till next Sunday ( I think ) , and my sister and I are house/poodle-sitting It's super fun! Charlie (my sister's boyfriend...*tear*) is here, he's now the "man of the house" b/c it's scary being in a large house w/just 2 chicks. We've been having friends over about every night, although we can't have parties. but let me tell you how much FUN it is!!!!! This is great, you shoudl definitely come down!

Seriously, just give me a call and we can play pool, fish, canoe, and sit in the not-so-hot-tub. Charlie turned down the temperature during a drunken realization hahhaha, but I think it's back to 101F right now. Anyway, Hillary and I are super bored so please holler at me, especially for New Years! I think Hobday, Pickle, and Tyrone are comin down, that's gonna be awesome!!!

Hillary's friend Hemingway was down for a couple days and he was super fun to party with. That's when Hillary had the flu so she couldn't drink w/him, and I filled in. We played pool, and whoever lost had to chug a beer (yuengling...yummm). Needless to say, I don't play very well "under the influence" so I had to do all the chugging. We then watched Rules of Attraction and I was WEIRDED OUT but it's a real good movie nonetheless....

I'm so ecstatic for this next year, because...to be quite honest with you, 2003 SUCKED BALLS. So hopefully 2004 is gonna rock my socks. I think I'm comin up on the 6th or somethin, depending on the rents...so I can get a *gasp* job!

THanks to everyone who's come to keep us company, and feel free to come by! If not then Happy 2004! I <3 you!

much love,
Kat
