¡Bienvenido!

gosh . . . .

I'm the busiest person . . . . . EVER!

I can't wait for spring break, I'm gonna play with my dogs, play pool, canoe, sit around and watch satellite, and hang out w/my parents and sister. and don't forget - sit in the hot tub! ooooooooohhhhhh my gosh I can't wait......

I don't know if I informed you gusy but I am no longer giving up sweets for Lent...I've already done it and I feel as though, while it made me appreciate, REALLY appreciate my sweets, it didn't do much for me. So instead I'm just trying to do better at everything....I'm not gonna go into it b/c it's boring

I saw Club Dread the other night, I was SO excited, it was definitely not as good as Super Troopers, my most favoritist movie EVER, but it was still quality. I just didn't like the whole " dread" part, and the fact that it turned into a boob movie like scary movie and everything - WHY MUST EVERYTHING BE ABOUT IMAGE AND APPERANCE??!!? WHY?!?!

ok that was my rant for the evening

Work is super fun, super time consuming but super fun nonetheless

I'm tired always

I got to see the Lorimer folk + Corey and Jeff and Keith! YAY!!!! I miss them!

ok before I go - the most important announcement:

I'm having a party Thursday, starting at 10. It really is starting at 10...so like, come at 10. I realize it's a school night, but a lot of people are leaving friday afternoon and I REALLY want to have a party - you have to come! I'm getting some of my work friends to DJ it for me....there will be beverages....this one's gonna be big

see you all thursday if not sooner
~K*Rah

was a great day

It started out bad b/c I woke up SO EXHAUSTED, I didn't think I was gonna make it! Then my car was acting screwy, but some oil helped it out....

I went to class all day, lunch w/everyone was awesome as usual, then I came back here to discover my scholarship checks! FINALLY!!!!!! geez that took fooorrreeevverrrr, but I'm definitely NOT complaining, I was just worried they were never going to come. Now I can finally catch up on some rent and car payments....so don't worry I'm not livin large on scholarship money....it's definitely needed instead of wanted

After I got a new purse b/c mine was falling apart, I went to work. It was a slow day, very relaxing, so I just got to conversate which was cool. AND my drawer was exactly on!!! Tommy said he's rubbing off on me b/c his drawer's always perfect (what a bum). But that was so nice - I actually got out of there on time....well kinda.

My guitar is restrung but its definitely strugglin. I'm gonna have to buy a new one b/c that's about to snap apparently

I also learned today that I've been saying the word " cashier " wrong my WHOLE LIFE. Everyone was astonished at my idiocy....but I swear I'm saying it right....I reckon it's like sauna. EVen though I know for a fact I say sauna right so THERE!

then after work I went to Harris Teeter and went CRAZY! I stocked up on some things, mainly cleaning supplies. THings that I usually can't afford - like dish soap, laundry detergent, razors, etc. I also bought a new toothbrush!!!

Three things that make me so happy that are probably going to weird you out:
~brushing my teeth
~grocery shopping
~cleaning

I wanted to clean SO bad today, esp. since I finally got a mop....but I know if I start I won't stop so I'm saving it for a day I'm not busy - YAY SPRING CLEANING!

tonight at midnight I made spaghetti and salsd for myself and naturally it was awesome - if you've never had my spaghetti you shoudl go ahead and do that b/c it rocks your socks

ok aaaaaaaaaaand there's a party here thursday - w00t! you'd better be there it's gonna be hot hot HOT

now I bed
g'night!
~K.L.R


p.s. - if you haven't seen the latest teen girl squad GO DO IT NOW because it's the best one YET! (for real!)

SO today was an absolutely gorgeous day!!!!! For those of you that dont' know - I HATE WINTER and I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE spring and summer (and fall's good too) ! YAY!

Today actually kinda sucked, but because tomorrow's gonna rock my socks so much - I don't care!

The most exciting part of throwing a party is when you have a keg (or 2 in this case) sitting in your house just waiiitttinnnggg.....

it's gonna be a blast!

I had a dream last night that only 11 people showed up and I was stuck with 2 kegs and tons of PJ...it was scary! But I think it'll be ok

In other news...
I bought the new Incubus CD yesterday and I haven't stopped listnening to it! I LOVE INcubus so much...each CD is different, that's the same thing I like about Zepp. Not to mention I'm completely in love with Brandon Boyd. This is really nerdy....but when I saw Incubus live (a damn good concert p.s.) I drove by the colesium before hand and saw the truck w/their CD cover on it and got chills and almost cried! I'm a nerd, I know....but that just shows you how much I LOVE that band . . . . :aaaaah:

ok I'm leaving b/c I don't have free time EVER.... BUT I DON"T HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW OMG!

see you all tomorrow night!!!!
~K*Rah

p.s. - I'd like to give a shout out to the people that've been helping me - Tony, Tyrone, Allen, Lindsey, Matt, and Erin I <3 you guys

So...if you haven't heard - that party was AWESOME!!! I had a blast!!!! It got broken up at about 1? I think....but it was sooo awesome! It was seriously like a club! club 537 I don't even care how much money I lost...that was SO worth it!

I'd like to say thank you to everyone that helped, and everyone that came! w00t!

So I got a tattoo today and I was soooo excited....like I've been wanting this tattoo for a REALLY long time now, and I loved it, I still do love it. But I realized today that no matter what I say I'm still so concerned about what my friends think...b/c so far everyone's (except for a select few) just like " oh....it's big.....there's 3....wow" I don't know why I care, because I definitely shouldn't. E-beth brought up a really good point - you're so awesome girl! - she said that it's MY body and no one can understand what it's like to be me so I shouldn't care...it's a personal thing. I just wish I didn't care so much....it's the same thing like when people are mad at me....I freak out! I do know, however, that my parents are gonna go ballistic - yikes!

Ok so I'm beat - Elizabeth's stayin over tomorrow night b/c I have to be here alone and I"m super scared, yay E-beth! THANK YOU!

Have a lovely evening everyone!
~Katrin

p.s. - the new Incubus CD continues to rock my socks

p.p.s.- the tattoo artist played Make Yourself (3rd Incubus album) the whole time I was being tattooed! It was meant to be

Why did today SUCK so bad but I'm still in a good mood? No one knows....but today really did suck

Ok first of all I'm SO glad to hear the feedback from my party! I'd like to give props to Erin b/c afterall, she was the co-host I'm so glad you all had fun and I hope to be having those kinds of parties a lot this year

Second of all, my tattoo rocks my world! Seriously, every time I look at it I love it more and more!!! The colors look different today b/c it's healing - they are sooo gorgeous!

But work sucked...So here's the breakdown:

There's only 3 cash/check/non-credit card registers in the entire store. I am always on one of them ( the band/orchestra people run them...b/c we're women duh) But it was PACKED today! PACKED I say! (that rhymed - boo ya) Anyway, the other 2 people weren't really holding up their end of the bargain and I was getting slammed allllllll day. The computers are linux or some crap that takes seriously like up to 15 min. to ring someone up...it's ridiculous. Needless to say, customers get upset. But today, customers were getting upset, making the other employees upset. So I was getting snapped at/yelled at by customers AND my co-workers. It was awful.

The thing is there was no outlet- I just have to smile and say have a nice day, sorry for the wait. Finally I couldn't take it anymore, I went outside and talked to one of my friends who calmed me down. I felt awful though (and this explains to you guys who tell me I need to be more of a bitch)....because I was being a bitch. I mean, not horribly mean but definitely not my normal happy self. I'm eating myself up right now for it....but yeah....work sucked

here's some things:
My car can't make it anywhere now without overheating

I'm getting my hair cut this week (finally!)

My parents are going to KILL ME when they see my tattoo......

I get to relax for a WHOLE week!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's getting to be spring again which is AWESOME b/c I love spring soooooooooooo much! But I can defnitely tell b/c everyone's hooking up with each otehr and putting on their rose-colored glasses. I'm thinking it's going to be another year of single-dom for me, but because of my "mentor's" kind words, I'm not that worried about it . . . .

The other day when I was chillin in the atrium (I usually sit there for a good 2 hours), I did " stream of consciousness" writing after watching the crowd for a little bit...and let me just tell you : wow. you shoudl try it some time yo

So I think Meghan (and maybe others?) are coming to my house on thursday!!!! That'd be SO awesome! I love my house soooo much I want everyone to hang out in it always! That goes for both houses really...but moreso my denver house I can't wait to see Hillary! YAY SPRING BREAK!

the End.

I hope you all have an awesome spring break!
much love,
Katrin

p.s. - I think I'm happy b/c I'm drinking a chai creme frappucino (my favorite!) and thinking about my tattoo

so hey! Spring break was fun, relaxing....

The first three days it was just me and my mom, my dad was on third shift and HIllary was at the beach w/her boyfriend....and we didn't have power. The first day I was like " oh cool, we're roughin it and it's gonna be fun blah blah blah" but the second and third days it was definitely old. It sucked, only because it was cold and we were kinda bored and what not

But then the other days I just hang out w/my family. We went shopping, visited Lisa, etc. Meghan and Tisha came over on....some night, I forget when, but it was so fun! Hillary had her boyfriend and his friend over, and Erin came over too! We were all drinkin and playin pool or spades, it was awesome!!! I love my family so much....I wanna go back home

So then Friday Hillary and my Mom, and the poodles, of course...drove me up here with my NEW MATTRESS!!!! We left so late and I felt hooorrrrriiiible that they had to drive me up here but they kept assuring me it was ok b/c they wanted me to be comfortable. Which is so incredibly nice of them I had so much fun driving with them, and they got to see my house and my room! AND I have a new mattress!!!!!!!!!! I no longer have to sleep in a crater, I= really happy

In other news...I may have a new car, a BEETLE, even by the end of this week! (::fingers crossed: That neon is causin me more harm than good, so we decided to just get a new car, I hope it all works out . . .

In other other news, Ben Folds is coming in April!!! Incubus is coming in October!!!! I'm planning on going to the one in Charlotte and the one here....if you're interested gimme a holler

I also might be going to see Nickel Creek! that'd be super fun I <3 concert season

oh p.s. - if any of you are free the weekend of the 24th....of April(?), you shoudl come to Ohio with me for a wedding! It'll be fun I promise...I need some partners in crime though

I reckon that's all I had to say....pretty sad, no?

good luck on your first week back, everyone :*
~Kat

I'm sooooo happy right now

mainly because.....don't yell at me....I just splurged like crazy on sephora.com! I'm convinced that's the happiest place on earth! I can't wait till it arrives!!!!!!! It's the one thing I've splurged on since I started working (minus the tattoo )

It's a happy week! I just wrote a paper and it SUCKED but that's ok....

My car is completely DEAD, but I may be getting a new one like...in the next week!! YAY!!!!!!!! If I do, I'll be sure to let you guys know so you can all molest my new Katmobile

ok, important message coming up:

COME SUPPORT THE NEWEST A CAPELLA GROUP THIS SUNDAY!!! Unity Concert, Sunday, March 21 at 5:00 pm, Stewart Theatre!!! It's gonna be a super concert and you shoudl come! Pack it Up!, the new group made of marching band members is having their debut performance!

be easy on us though....we're band kids...not chorus kids
I'm super nervous....

Tomorrow will be a good day because the weather's supposed to be nice, stat is cancelled, and I don't have to work!!!! I also may have a date tomorrow night we'll see . . . .

If I haven't said it enough - I'm IN LOVE with my tattoos....and if you haven't seen it in person then get on it foo b/c that picture didn't really do it much justice and I'm allowed to be cocky b/c someone else did the work so it's not really me being cocky...anyway...

I'm excited about the wedding in April, although if Melinda doesn't get to come it might kinda suck for me b/c I'll be the only dateless person, and probably get stuck babysitting FOUR BOYS...young, energetic, loud....boys

But uuuh.....I guess that's it for now, oh! Except I have a quick gripe: So I hang out with mostly older people because they're cooler and what not...but there's been a couple lately that treat me like I'm younger....like look down on me and condescend me, which is quite possibly the most annoying/frustrating/angering thing EVER. And it's ANNOYING! Ok that was it. " condescend me" is that right? no one knows . . .

I <3 spring!

that's the end of my entry.

I'm gonna try to post some pictures but I can't guarantee they'll work - here goes nothin. . . .

much love!!!
~K*Rah

p.s. allt hose pictures are cuter/cooler when they're bigger

soooooooo the Pack it Up concert was tonight!!!! Excuse me, the Unity concert....it's just hard not to focus on your own group, y'know? May I just say that it was AWESOME!!! I realize some of the tougher critics had a few bones to pick, but overall I think we did awesome! The crowd loved the whole marching band/fight song thing, and being in front of the crowd was such an awesome feeling.
*sigh* that was SO much fun.....

I would like to give props to the group...we pulled those songs together so quickly and I think we did great. This group is incredible because we're all friends, and for the most part we all get along (as far as business...of course we always get along otherwise) and it's just nice to click as a group You all rock my socks!!! I love you!

We're gonna try to have a spring concert so you guys will definitely have to come see it, you missed a good concert - the other groups (of course) were incredible...Wolfgang and the Packabelles rocked the house as usual

I had a mini-party afterwards and Kelli and Justin gave me some sh*t...which is ridiculous because first of all they knew about it beforehand, and second of all HE HAS AN APARTMENT!!!!!!!!! Go stay there for one night in your life!!!!!! FREAKINAY! He had no right to come out and yell at me, the dude doesn't even pay rent

grrrr



I think I'll be getting a car this week!!! WIsh me luck! If I do, you better believe I'm taking YOU for a trip in the Katmobile around Raleigh!

much love guys,
Kat

today sucked...this week sucks....blaaah Lately nothing but problems seem to pop up and it's sooo frustrating.

I'm tired of taking the bus, it takes me 2 hours to get to work and i get hit on no matter WHAT I look like or what I'm wearing. It's scary.

I'm tired of being the only one who cleans in this house.

I'm tired of being promised things and they constantly fall through

I'm tired of a lot of things but I"m not going to list them all....because, well I'm tired

so goodnight all and have a lovely thursday

please leave me happy messages PLEASE!

So even though I may not get a car for a while, meaning lots and lots o bus trips....I'm in a better mood than yesterday...

I think Meghan's gonna live here for real! that's SO exciting! So it'll be me, her, Laura, and Erin(maybe)....so w00t! I may just stay up in this room....I don't know yet. We need to have a roommate meeting and talk about it all yo

I have a test tomorrow and that sucks

So in my archive of all my old entries, there's some of Allen's entries sprinkled in there - isn't that vierd??!? It's so crazy dude. Cuz Pickle was like " you said f*ck in your entries" and I was like " no I didn't" so I looked for them, and it turn sout there's a few of his in there, which is odd but whatev

I have to be a mooch and get rides from people and I don't like it :-/

I think this summer and next semester are gonna rock my socks!

Ok and something I've been contemplating is that I really need to change my mindset. I need to not stay up as late (I'm about to go to bed, actually ) In high school I was SO motivated - I woke up at 5am, went to the YMCA, went to school all day, had marching band, came home and did HOURS of homework (IB will do that to you...) and then I'd go to bed and get a good 6-7 hours of sleep and work on Fri., Sat., and Sun. So why don't I do that here? Because I stay up late and then I wanna sleep in. So I'm currently trying to do that.

In other news I really do think Ih ave a cleaning problem.....but that's good!

IT'S ALMOST OVER!!!

ok well maybe IT'S OVER!!

~Kat

p.s. - I woudl like to thank those that commented yesterday and thank Montal for the hug and the super nice comment - you're my hero!!!

and just as a reminder:

so hey....I'm sitting here in my room because I have no car I got invited a bunch of places but of course I can't go to any of them because I HAVE NO FREAKING CARRRRRRRRRRR

but that's ok because when I get one I'll be THAT much happier

In other news, I've been asking around, reading people's journals and what not, and I found out that a lot of people either didn't take Pack It Up seriously, thought we were bad, or whatever. That makes me sad because I was one of the people that came up with the idea and it meant SO much to me. I've always wanted to be in an a capella group and I had such an awesome time and the group is so amazing...we put that show together in probably like 10 hours total or some ungodly amount of time like that. So if you didn't like it then LIKE DEEZ (insert inappropriate gesture here)

Other than that I'm just sitting here....I might go watch TV or see if people can take me places or hang out w/Meghan(which requires a ride...) or make playlists, or draw, or write, yeah! Maybe I shoudl do something exciting and productive and creative. So maybe I shoudl litter first . . . . .


Um, that's it.

I'm bored.

please

come

drive

me

somewhere!

okbye
~Rah Rah

I just worked 12 hours straight, yes 12 hours! well, minus lunch - so excuse me, 11 hours

That gets rough after a while . . . .


But today I played violin, guitar, bass, keyboard, everything - we were kinda slow so I had to entertain myself somehow

Well I have like 7 hours to work tomorrow so i'm gonna go be boring downstairs because I'm BEAT!

Have a nice sunday
~Kat
