SUDDENLY!

so SUDDENLY tonight turned bad....for a few reasons, HOWEVER there were also good things that happened!

. . . I got to see Melinda tonight (she came over w/Mark, yay Mark!) and we had super fun......I also got to talk to people I haven't talked to in a while and I heart them! A couple other good things happened but if I told you I'd have to kill you

but about the bad things....I will not let them ruin my new years day because I KNOW that 2004 is gonna rock my world and your world, and all this has shown me is some people I need to A. stop being friends with, B. hang out with less often, or C. tell them to SUCK IT! hahhaha

that's one of my resolutions....the rest are secret (sorry!) but one of them is to be more mean...b/c while I threaten to beat people up.....and don't tell anyone this.....I can't! Which ties into another resolution but ok let me focus....the not secret one is to be more of a b*tch. Really, I can't let these people be jerks to me SO THERE!

Ok I'm gonna go, I have a long 2 days of cleaning ahead of me. THanks to everyone who came to Denver

so g'night from the Kspot


p.s. - shout out to Scott A. for leaving me funny IMs - I would IM you but I don't exist online at normal times of day

please dispose of condoms properly

ok I have a few items of business to discuss....

1. I was such a nerd and completely forgot to talk about my new years eve!!!

. . . Hillary and Charlie had 209348203948 friends over, and Tyrone, Hobday, and Pickle came over the day before and we chilled and what not....we went fishing on this little island out onthe lake (a.k.a Jamaica...welcome to the islands mon! ::cue island beats: then got a bit drunk and played some games in the hot tub. So then new years eve we started celebrating by partaking in alcoholic beverages....but with the intention of getting quite inebriated, in honor of 2004 naturally We played circle of death, drinking war etc. etc. Tyrone and Pickle started power hour at 11 and therefore were in bed before 1 hahhaha ( I <3 you guys! )

ok so then at midnight we watched the ball drop as tradition demands, then toasted to quality times to come Then the real party started, we all hung out a lot, there was some karaoke singing, some more hot tub antics, etc. Eventually I got super duper hungry and made the mistake of eating THE MOST SPAGHETTI EVER! I was SOO hungry....but after I ate, I immediately passed out on the couch even though there was the season 5 Sex and the City marathon on HBO (yes, it was that bad)

I woke up at 7:30am still drunk, which was weird...then slept in till 11 and did my morning after cleaning frenzy...like I always do. isn't that vierd?

So I convinced E-beth to stay one more night which was awesome! Mark and Melinda came over (see past entry) and we had s'more fun


2. I got the job at the campus cinema!!! YAY!!!!! (knock on wood, let's hope it works out!) that was such great news b/c I'm in desperate need of a steady cash flow right now...I'd like to thank Meghan for helping me out w/the job! speaking of....


3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGHAN AND TISHA!!! I would make that so much bigger but I don't know how ....and I can't even put the birthday cake smiley up b/c my computer's freaking out...but happy birthday nonetheless!!!! I love you guys!!!! I hope you have fun, and sorry the Denver thing didn't work out! Be safe tomorrow Meghan



4. Ok so this morning after playing a few rounds of pool with Mark, he discovered a used condom on my basement floor. Yes, a used condom. THere was one still in the wrapper in another room as well. I have no problem with people having sex, I don't know whose it was, whatever....BUT, it TICKS ME OFF that whomever did not have the decency and respect to clean up after themselves. that was THE NASTIEST and most DISRESPECTFUL thing EVER! And may I just say ew. Good thing Mark was there to pick it up b/c I sure couldn't have....and I was so ticked off afterwards that I did better @ pool haha. But really, for future reference to anybody...if you go to somebody elses house, either freakin control yourself for one night or CLEAN UP YOUR NASTINESS

ok sorry, I know that was mean but damn

Now I'm completely worn out after almost an entire week of entertaining. But let me just say that it was a blast!!!!! Thanks everyone, I had fun TOmorrow I clean - until the end of time . . . .


in other news I hope to be in Raleigh by the 8th, somewhere around there. I hope everyone has a terrific day/weekend!

Denver, NC

I love Denver...yesterday and today was GORGEOUS weather.....even at night! It's perfect, from what I hear it's "california weather"...but I wouldnl't know b/c I've never been (ROAR!) But I raked today JUST to be outside I know, it's ludacris. And tonight I sat in the hot tub by myself b/c the stars are so gorgeous out here w/no city lights.

speaking of city...I really miss Charlotte! Don't get me wrong, living on the lake is INCREDIBLE, but the "big city" was awesome, I'm glad I got to grow up in such a diverse, exciting place (<---that's a dorky face b/c that was a dorky paragraph)

So today Hillary left for school...we got in a fight earlier b/c ....well I don't remember why, but what it boils down to is that we loved this week so much. We haven't really spent htat much time together since she was a senior in high school and I was a junior. I really miss her, she's so smart and funny and cheers me up whenever I'm blue. But we fought b/c I knew she was leaving and we were both sad. She'll be turning 21 Saturday, I wish I could be there! I'm so glad she has an awesome boyfriend who is not only treating her to drinks all night, but is DDing for her and looking out for her I can't wait till we're "career women" and we can meet for martinis or cosmopolitans in chic little bars.....or beers at our house hahaha

So tomorrow I get the whole Katmobile situation figured out. I've got to call the insurance, go to wherever they send me, figure out if I get money, if so how much, or if it's totaled. The good news is, that if it's totaled that'd save me AND my parents a bundle of money each month, and I could eventually get a *gasp* Volkswagon! OMG . . . but if it's not then that's ok too

I'm really nervous though, i hope it works out. the last thing we need is another unexpected expense. I kinda hope it is totaled just so my parents save money, and so that I drive less....saving me money and making me do more walking

I just wanted to watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding (great movie) on Starz, but instead, my dad and I got into a HUGE political discussion. It started b/c I said Id on't know anything about politics and I hate talking about it b/c it's so ridiculous and gives people hernias...but my mom said I know more than I think I do, and thus began our discussion.

It started as just politics 101, democrats vs. republicans, and of course turned into a discussion about liberals. . . .and eventually law enforcement. i LOVED that though! It was so much fun, we discussed the death penalty, treatment of inmates, Sheriffs, corporal punishment, etc. It was very interesting to hear his opinions on it. He's been in law enforcment for about 25 years now, so he's seen it all...it was so great! I can't wait to do....whatever it is that I'm going to do (probably police officerification)

I'd like to re-wish Meghan and Tisha happy birthdays!!!

I wish I could've been there w/you guys to celebrate it! You guys r0x0r (was that right?)


Ok now I go, I think I'll be up in Raleigh on the 8th, just in time for some good 'ol basketball (and sousa!) so holler at a player on her cellular if you're in town

g'night,
Kat

I = the biggest nerd EVER

so how bout I read Allen's last two posts and he said how his life sucks b/c traffic is bad and he had a burnt biscuit...I left comments trying to cheer him up, and I was secretly ticked off to no end b/c I thought he was serious. hahahhaha...but he wasn't! You are super funny allen, even if you have burnt biscuits

My car is currently being fixed so it won't go "lakscd90asdhuvhaisdfsdfeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh" when it turns or goes over bumps...therefore I won't be going up to raleigh till saturday. If anyone needs a ride holler at me

BORED PICTURES!

hello and welcome

I decided to put some pictures up here since I have nothing else to do . . . and since I'm not as cool as allen and can't figure out the gallery thing, I'm just gonna stick them all in this entry...readyyyy stick!

Ok so I can't fit all of them in, my next entry will contain the rest. I'd like to thank Ms. Elizabeth Hobday for taking the pictures


(the first ones are me and the sousas and E-beth at a pep band game, the others are me and DAVID JOHNSTON {phashyalesta David} at a party, and me trying to do a drunken handstand) okbye

thoughts . . . and more pictures!

first of all: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST BEAUTIFULEST SMARTEST COOLEST FUNNIEST GREATEST WONDERFULLEST MOST FUNNEST COOLEST GIRL EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who? MY SISTER!!! Happy birthday, Hillary - I LOVE YOU!!!!!! She turns 21 today I heart her a lot



so hey, I really wish some people were online right now so they'd make me want to go to raleigh b/c I'm having a hard time!

Once I stay here for a while I get really homesick and never want to go back...especially lately b/c every night my dad and I play a few games of pool, tonight accompanied by margaritas, then we all watch Cops, then we get into an indepth conversation about something, like politics, law enforcement, growing up, tatoos, everything!

I also hate leaving the dogs b/c they get these sad puppy eyes when they see you walk out the door with your bags...you may laugh at me but if you saw these eyes you woudln't want to leave either!

but I worry about my mom when I'm gone...especially when my dad's on third shift....I just think it'd be so hard to have both your daughters leave w/in a year of each other for college.....I miss my family already! so this means when I get up there tomorrow you guyus have to entertain me so I stop worrying so much!

just wait until you see the Katmobile It's back to tip top shape! yee-haw!

ok and now for more pictures! see you all tomorrow!!
<3 Kat

wow . . . .

today was a weird day....

I got up at 9:30, yes AM! can you believe it?!?!?

so then I ate a lovely breakfast and ran some errands - and things were actually closed b/c I was too early! YAY!

So then I came back here and watch the Tenacious D DDDVD ....and(too many Ds...right...) then ate lunch then I don't remember what happened after that....I think I organized things and killed time, watched my husband, a.k.a Brandon Boyd on the Incubus DVD YAY

THEN I went to Clark (YUM) with tyrone allen and HI-D, and it was super good and super fun

THEN tyrone and I played mario party and I KICKED BUTT which is always fun....except I only kinda kicked butt - I just had more stars than him, I was lucky

then we all hung out at Katie's and Ed's, and let me tell you that it was great! I missed everybody! I had fun guys I <3 all of you!

so now I was supposed to be in bed before midnight b/c I have to get up early and I'm trying to be good...but people are being too interesting!

There's something I REALLY want to talk about but I can't....but I can talk about this:

a certain someone IMed me tonight, I haven't talked to him in quite some time. To be honest I was scared that it was gonna tick me off or make me sad, but it was quite the enjoyable conversation. . . . maybe it's a sign of how things will change this year

except that I'm still confused and lost and AH! and that goes for all of you....not all of YOU, but all of you....

but anyway.....I'm gonna try to go to bed for real this time . . . good luck everyone with your classes!
g'night!

p.s. - sorry that's a weird entry
p.p.s - if you haven't looked at the pictures in my last 2 entries, please do so NOW kthanks and bye

what a lovely day!

today was a splendid day!

My classes were GREAT! I'm thinking of minoring in Greek, Ted's in my mythology (holler back at some greek mythology!) class and informed me that I was able to major in it here @ State! that'd be AWESOME! then maybe the department of state woudl move me to Greece.....but then what aobut all this Spanish? anyway...

so then lunch was awesome - 12:20 atrium (for those of you that don't know) everyone's there so you shoudl come too!

AND I saw brandon turner! (he's my 311 buddy f.y.i)

so then more class, and Jo's in my stat class!

then I went to the gym and did some swimming, which was very intense b/c I haven't swam in a few years...but afterwards I felt GREAT! Also, Ed and his friend.....I forget his name, he was real nice though.....they were practicing for a scuba test, they have to know how to do a bunch of different strokes, etc. Poor Ed didn't have any goggles and he said he was real bad, so I tried to help him out best I coudl, but I think he did wonderfully!

Ok so then pep band was super as usual...and even though I had a soggy bum from swimming playing the sousa was awesome (as it always is) I <3 my section although I'm mad I was put int he red band...BLAST! but that's ok b/c I'm gonna go to all the games ever ( or try to )

but the important part of today was that all the people I saw for the first time since 03....I got hugs! So many hugs! Even a virtual hug! It was such a cheerful day! AND I saw John in the C store and we had a super great conversation! AND i saw Lacey and Larry and Jeff and Matt and Travis tonight!

YAY people! But gym night was kinda sad b/c I was in my bathing suit therefore I coudlnt' play raquetball w/everyone...and also I coudlnt' swim b/c the pool was closed AND I ddn't get to deliver zepp cds....and that's very important

I love it up here! and if I haven't hung out w/you yet then hurry up and call me! b/c I need to give you a 2004 hug!

g'night
~the K spot

p.s. - I have 2 kick-a$$ CD mixes of Ben Folds Five/Ben Folds...and if you don't have any then contact me immediately b/c freakinay

p.p.s- thanks to those that made today especially wonderful....I think you know who you are! if you don't then ask me and I'll tell you how great you are

so . . . tired . . .

hello! So I think my schedule is set now - here goes (sorry if this part's boring)

MWF:
9:10 - FLS 311
the biggest break EVER - let me know what you're doing here so we can hang out
12:20 - lunch at atrium w/everyone!
1:30 - Greek 310 (w00t)
2:35 - ST311
then I work out for 7 years and eat dinner - but I never know w/who so you shoudl let me know if you're dinner-free at 6ish on MWF

TH:

9:50 - FL 222
...I mean to have that really interesting religion class here but the prof hasn't answered my emails and didn't show up for class on tuesday



So I've worked out every day this week...but I'm not overdoing it I swear - I'm mixing cardio (swimming) w/weightlifting, a.k.a the Fancypants of Steel routine! I feel AWESOME, but I'm super duper hungry all the time now and right now I'm exhausted! I guess that's good though, I simply MUST bed early tonight!

I saw so many more people today! I love NC State! I saw Brett, Carole, Corey, the Captain! I forget who else....sorry - I'm deleriious b/c I'm so tired - I can't even spell that word...but then again I probably coudln't anyway OMG and I saw Will Roach today.......*sigh*

The rest of the week shoudl be awesome - tomorrow is a basketball game - women vs. virginia (woohoo!), then friday I'll either be partying, mini-partying, or both! Either way it shoudl be a fun night I'm either gonna go to Asheville on Sunday w/sexy Meghan, or go home to see my mommy b/c Monday's her birthday

So the moral of the story is let's hang out saturday

ok I can't think this hard anymore I gotta go
espero que tenga un buen noche, ¡te amo!

hmmmm . . . .

So last night was super fun Tucker and Josh came up from Wilmington and partied w/us - it was awesome! You're super great Meghan

Today was pretty relaxing . . . just hung around, meghan and I hung out for a little while which was awesome as usual So then I took a nap and completely forgot about the game....b/c I'm a nerd - but it wasn't required for me so that's ok

I'm in a very pensive mood, but before I share my thoughts with you, I woudl like to clear something up about my last entry, " the hot list" I got criticized b/c certain people thought it was a checklist and that I was shallow enough to be like " well if they don't have a baseball hat, requirement #10, then I'm not dating them ever." it's not a checklist! It's just things I think are hot, a.k.a my opinion, and I did it for fun b/c I was bored...take things as they are mmmkuhy?

That leads me to (p.s. this is going to be a long entry...) "the cold list" this one's in no particular order b/c they all suck, so these are things that turn me off readyyyy go:

10. Smoke cigarettes
9. Take things too seriously
8. Have a bad temper
7. Condescend me (I don't know how to form that phrase....but condescending = bad)
6. Be narrowminded
5. don't accept people for who they are
4. Be racist

ok so this one is a lot less fun to create. . . I'm gonna move on

Last night brought up some thoughts with me. I tend to NEVER EVER seize the moment. . . . I am entirely too cautious, mainly when it comes to relationships. I think the main reason is b/c I've been jaded, and no, not just because my most recent relationship, because of other ones too. Which I reckon you coudl say is my bad b/c I attract to jerks (that loses)

But another thing is I NEVERRRR tell people what I'm actually thinking. That can't be good for my relationsihp with people. That's how I get walked all over in friendships and with boyfriends, b/c I'm not like " look here beeotch" But I shoudl be! (not all the time though..) I think it's b/c I always end up feeling SO bad...I can't help it! No matter how good it feels to me to tell someone that they're ticking me off or to finally say something I've been meaning to, afterwards I feel like the biggest b*tch ever! ajw9gz8a7w9sx7tf

All right that's enough for righ tnow.....I think I'm gonna put the rest of my thoughts in my real journal b/c they're intense hahha

I'm gonna try my darndest to go home tomorrow for my mum mum's birthday, so if I don't see you then have a great weekend!

much love,
Katrin

blaaah

today loses a lot

I woke up and got some bad news about my financial aid, and the moral of that story is that I'm broke...I will probably continue to be broke until I get a job. But I can't get a job b/c the people freakin jerk me around. I get so tired of that! With the financial aid people to, they're so rude! If you don't like your job THAT much then quit!!! No matter HOW ticked or stressed I am, I NEVER take it out on my customer

WSIdbya98XS7vfg98saufavsdxhrvapi9s7dyvc9pas8XUdv

And also I don't know why people think they can treat me like crap, and by people I mean, financial aid people, job people, Dr. Entzi and Dr. Garcia, and stuck up rich birkdale people. Is it because I'm a woman? Because I'm young? Because I'm not rich? Because my parents aren't big powerful engineers? Because I'm not a beautiful little stick figure? ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR

my poor cheeks . . .

my wisdom teeth are just chillin in my mouth now and it HURTS

Today was a good day though I woke up at the crack of butt and went to class then sat around the atrium waiting for people and doing homework from 10 to 12...followed by THE MOST PEOPLE EATING LUNCH EVER which is always fun Even Ashley Evans showed up!!

So then I had class for another seven years and then went to a job interview! (a pop job interview ) It was at Sam Ash, and the people there are sooo much fun (and I've only met them once!) That'd be awesome...and I'd probably work at the campus cinema too - he finally contacted me! YAY! Maybe I'll dig myself out of this hole afterall

I saw my maintenance man crush today....*sigh* Maybe one day I'll actually like talk to him

But uuuh then I came back here but I'm SO tired I don't even think I can go to the gym...but that's ok b/c I'll make up for it tomorrow

This weekend shoudl be a blast: check it out . . .

Friday = ?
Saturday = basketball game, TOGA PARTY, Dale's party
Sunday = FOOTBALL!!!

yay!
ok I'm done

And I think I know where I want my tatoo - on my back just below my neck, like in the middle top. Something wide and colorful so when I move it looks crazy cool.

I'm a total butterfly freak...but butterfly tatoos are SO overdone (as anonymous stated w/the star/heart thing)......so now I just have to figure out what

My parents know everything. I just talked to my dad....he was right about everything.....about the "boyfriend" about my jobs, about my classes.....everything.

I never listen though, and each day as it continues to be harder to live here....I realize how right they are. They've been through it all. They survived in Europe with only each other. They "lived on peanut butter and jelly and borrowed the bread" They were military police officers faced with challenges every day including sexual discrimination, money problems, everything.

My mom was overseas in Desert Storm for ten months...my dad was alone supporting us that whole time. My mom was injured in Bosnia and was still a police officer for years, and a damn good one at that.

My dad has worked his way up the Sheriff's Office to be a Captain with no college eduaction. He attended the FBI academy and ran the "yellow brick road" He went to Northwestern for training and education and now has enough college credits to be a junior.

I admire my parents so much and I hope that I have the same character and determination in me....and that I will grow up and be able to tell my kids "It's scary now....it's really scary, I've been there. But in the long run, you'll be ok. You've got your head on your shoulders and your family to help you."

if I hadn't talked to my dad today I would've just cried all day. I love my family

SNOW!

SNOW! it's gorgeous out there

I attempted driving and my car is therefore chillin at the bottom of the driveway

Today was pretty boring otherwise....there wasn't much to do here by myself. I watched sex and the city, read cosmo, painted my toenails, attemped homework but got bored of that, and drank the most water ever

I don't have but 3 channels up here ( who knows why) so when I did watch TV it was just murders on courtTV

I woudl go downstairs but my roommates take over the place...they watch the food network all day then always go to bed at 10pm...every night...always, no fail. they really shoudl get out more....and her freakin boyfriend doesn't even live here I don't know why I called him my roommate....anyway

tomorrow depending on the roads I wanna go see butterfly effect - REAL BAD. so you shoudl hollular

I'd also like to wish better luck to Jon(wilson), Meghan, and Matt(m r not normans) - I'm sorry bad things happened to you guys today! But I am glad all of you are ok

everyone be careful out there in the snow and HAVE FUN!
Currently feeling: *sigh*

*sigh*

Summary:

snow days - sucked - stranded for more than 48 hours with nothing but PJ&J

school - sucks, I still only have 11 credit hours and I'm scared I will lose my financial aid....but no teachers are working with me

friends - rock, you guys keep me sane

boys - don't even get me started . . . .

final note: my Grandma had a stroke this morning. My dad didn't want to tell me at work but he knew (and I knew) that if he didn't, I would have obsessed knwoing something was wrong and he didn't tell me. First of all I cried in front of people....I was so embarrassed. They don't think she's going to make it through the night. I'm going to Ohio tomorrow morning.....for what will probably be a funeral SHe was supposed to see my husband and kids....my cousin Jessie is pregnant and now she won't even get to see her baby. She always loved kids I'm sorry to every one . . . . I'm not exactly a bundle of joy. I feel so alone and scared....and it seems like things keep getting worse by the day. I'm gonna miss her so much She was a beautiful person....she sent me a hand made card for every occasion...she is the most talented artist...her paintings are not only hung up in our house in Denver, but in Mcdonald's, banks, etc. in her home town. I just don't think I'm going to be able to accept it. My other grandma just survived cancer and open heart surgery.....and I don't know. I have to go.....
