¡Bienvenido!

so....for those of you that don't know. . . . .

Incubus is my most favoritst band ever. I love everything about their music and I own all their albums, my favorite being S.C.I.E.N.C.E. And also Brandon Boyd, their lead singer is the sexiest most talented and wonderful man alive. .. .

AND I GET TO MEET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've been a fan for years and years and years and I've dreamt about what I would say or do if I met them and all of a sudden I'm meeting them!!!!

I swear it was like fate....I came into work yesterday (sunday) and turned on 96rock - and I NEVER listen to the radio....EVER! (I hope they never know that though) So I turn on the station and I hear that they're having a contest - whenever you hear an incubus song, be the 10th caller and win.


So I tried the first time, didn't get through

I tried the second time, got through after like 10min. and it just kept ringing (a.k.a after they had already found a winner).

So the LAST time, they played drive and I heard it across the store, dropped everything I had in my hand and ran (literally...no joke) to the phone and called. So it starts to ring and I was like " holy sh*t) Jessica (this chick I work with) and Hobday were there like grabbing my arm saying " no way no way" and I hear someone answer and go " hold on, ok? " and I was like " ok" and started laughing....so then he comes back and here's the conversation:

radio dude: " why are you laughing?"
me: " am I the 10th caller?" (in really shaky weird voice)
radio dude: " yes you are"
me: " OMG AAAAAHHHH AAAAAAAH AAAAAAH YOU'RE KIDDING AAAAH OMG <> omg I'm sorry AAAAH!" (etc.)
radio dude: " you get gold circle tickets . . . "
me: " AAAAAH (etc.)"
radio dude: " but wait, it get's better - you get to meet and greet the band!"
me: " AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" (etc.)
radio dude: " what's the station that hooks you up?!"
me: " what??"
radio dude " what's the station that hooks you up?!"
me: " 96 rock" (said confusedly)

so then he got my info. etc. and I was like in tears.

I mean I was excited enough to see them reguarly let alone MEET them!!!

I serously hope I don't freak out, b/c those people lose, I think I'll keep my cool though. However, I'm still in shock - I don't really believe it! I bought a camera and a record (like vinyl record) for them to sign. I wanted to get S.C.I.E.N.C.E since that's my favorite, but I got A Crow Left of the Murder - which is cool b/c the cover is gorgeous and it's the CD they're touring for so it makes sense.

SO basically that's the coolest most awesomest luckiest most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. I can't wait and I am SO SO SOOOO thankful.....................I just hope I can contain myself

ok now i have to go study for the hardest test that was ever created ever. . . .

Currently listening to: INCUBUS
Currently feeling: indescribable

So....fall break really sucked. The Incubus concert was incredible (would you expect any less?) and although I only got to meet 3 of them (Chris, Ben and Jose), it was still the best most exciting thing that's ever happened to me. I love that they opened with Pistola (genius!) and that they played so many songs from S.C.I.E.N.C.E, except they didn't play Glass. ANYWAY....

so I didn't get to meet Brandon Boyd. I was thinking about how I thought it was fate that I won thecontest, but then it turned out to be nothing at all really (like I said - still awesome but not what I expected). Funny thing, life.

And thursday, though I was surrounded by awesome people - it was the worst time I've ever had in my life. I was sick all that night, and sick for the following two days. All I ate from the course of 8pm on thursday to about 2 on Saturday was a 6'' subway sandwich.

Saturday I woke up to themost stress ever (I hate waking up to unhappy phone calls). And while things aren't bad right now, it definitely wasn't a good break.

But speaking of " things." I was thinking about my things. They've been stressful of course, b/c I've had stressful things happen but life is good. And I was thinking about being 'alone'. People always ask me if it's lonely living alone...and I was thinking that I've been alone like....all my life. (minus my family of course - love you guys!) But really...I'm a very independent person. And although life is much easier when you have somoene to talk to....someone you can REALLY talk to, what's so wrong w/being alone? I hate to think that sometimes I'm sad b/c I don't have a boyfriend - is that not the worst thing you've ever heard? Really....how come we have to have someone else to ' complete us' to be happy? Can we not be happy alone?

Note:

gldngoddss20: but you know what ticks me off?
Pounding Doves: what?
gldngoddss20: is that we can be so unhappy alone
gldngoddss20: it's so frustrating to me
Pounding Doves: despite all our technology/medicine we're still animals
Pounding Doves: (that's my opinion)
gldngoddss20: aaaah
Pounding Doves: we just need those intimate embraces
gldngoddss20: but see
gldngoddss20: animals don't, do they?
Pounding Doves: why else would they travel in packs?
gldngoddss20: that's true
Pounding Doves: we'll always be happy if we think somebody loves us
gldngoddss20: that's so weird
Pounding Doves: and anyway, we wouldn't be the same people if we weren't alone


So is that why? Biology? I always like to link everything to biology because it makes so much sense.....but do animals NEED a companion? Besides for reproduction, of course.

I'm wondering if it's society? All the movies, the shows, the novels, etc....then match.com, elimidate? Very interesting nonetheless

It's just interesting to find out what your " natural" desires stem from . . . (or not find out even)

So I went to the new Target on Six Forks today and may I say that it's my new favorite place in the entire universe. Target is a beautiful thing.

Also, my last entry wasn't out of sadness, it was out of curiosity and pondering. don't get me wrong, I love your comments (esp. katie's and susan's ) but I just hate hate HATE pity....I didn't mean for it to come off like that. I know i have my family and friends but I feel as though I don't have one person I can truly tell everything to, and tha'ts what I really need. THat's, of course, not necessarily a boyfriend but everyone in relationships always talks about how they can talk about anything, blah blah blah all taht sappy sh*t.
But yeah, I internalize everything...and I think I just don't want to or I can't tell things to people...I start to feel bad for complaining, think my problems are trivial, or get weirded out when people are worried about me or feel sorry for me. ANyway I'm rambling...

I just think a lot about life, religion, purpose....I still haven't found the book on religion I'm looking for (that's probably because I Don't know what I"m looking for...), or even on philosophy.

In other news - I applied at Starbucks and Cup-a-Joe today Hopefully one of them will call me...I'd prefer to work at Cup a Joe b/c it's a little business and anyway their drinks are better. I just realized that although I love working around all music all day, it's not worth the stress - they need to not hire college students EVER.

Also I went to the health center and it turns out I just ahve an upper respiratory infection but I caught it early (thank you lymph nodes!) so I shoudl be a.o.k. I've gotten sick so much lately! THat's totally not like me....and I'll tell you why it's happening - it's b/c I haven't been eating breakfast and drinking my OJ every morning like I always do.

AND I went to the eye doctor today - I'm getting new glasses!!!! They're super cute but super different than what I would normally pick....however I just coulnd't get over the cuteness. The lady yelled at me for wearing contacts ALWAYS and said that I'm really sensitive to light. Therefore I got transition lenses - I just hope I don't end up hating them.

ok that is all

much love,
Katrin

time flies in college - everyone says that but you never believe it until all of a sudden three years have passed. It's crazy when you think of how long you've known someone and it feels like you just met them. People change in college too - it's wild. Friendships bloom, some fade . . .

I wonder though how much of it is relevant in the course of my life? Don't you wish you coudl know that? I guess that's what wisdom is, afterall....and if young people were that wise what woudl be the point of living?

But also I went to Denver this past weekend. I had a super time I miss my family

I got my new glasses pero no funciona

speaking of spanish - I had my first spanish callback today - " bueno?" it's so fun to answer the phone like that! Isn't it???

But the best ever is that the other day at Hairy Peter I went through the Uscan line and did it in spanish ( I do it for practice) and I guess my VIC card didn't scan. The lady comes over and was like motioning card scanning signals w/her hands and was talking real slow like ' your card....it iddn't scan....try again!" It was so funny so I said in a quiet semi-fake-accented voice " oh...thank you" HAHhahahah - best ever!

ok I'm done

much love,
Nirtak

cigarette smoke. I don't mind that people smoke - I deal with it...it's none of my business. However, it is horrible for their health(duh) and I normally don't mind cigarette smoke except when it's where it shoudnl't be. ie. my house, etc. I smell it every morning when I wake up I used to have that happen at Brent road, at Crandon Ln. - and now here! It's HORRIBLE! Isn't that the worst smell ever to wake up to EVER?!?!?!?

anyway ......
I also need to start buying mini ravioli because the regualr type is too big and starts to gross me out.

Does anyone want to have Chinese sometime soon? I get cravings for Chinese food often - it's oh so tasty! (sesame chicken o. . . m . . . . . . . g.)

Also I may be working at starbucks soon (fingers crossed!) And while I honestly will miss Sam Ash (the people and the music, that is) I woudl love love LOVE to make espresso drinks w00t.

Tonight was girls night with me lindsey and pickle. Yes, Pickle is in fact, a male. However, he comes over b/c the three of us have the best conversations ever Our personality cocktail is a tartini!
I <3 you guys!

I had more things to say....profound things, even....but it's entirely too late to be thinking that much and my ravioli is waiting.

g'night all!

So I was thinking about throw up. I haven't thrown up since like 5th grade probably...(knock on wood). I absolutely hate hate HATE throw up - it freaks me out. I once threw up blood and halucinated after having my tonsils taken out...that might have something to do with it. But anyway I was thinking about how much it sucks b/c whenever one of my friends is sick from alcohol (we're all adults here, c'mon!) I seriously bolt if there's a chance of throw up. I can't hear the noise or see it or smell it or I'll throw up. Does that make me a bad friend?

But on to a less disgusting topic... I was also thinking about life. And how so many people are in a routine. We go to school, we may go to college, then we work, then we retire. Isn't there anything else we can do? Or is that it? I want to do something exciting. I suppose it's too late to change the course of my life....but I can make the routine as exciting as possible, no?

I dyed my hair. It's oh so hot I'd like to thank my stylist Lindsey ....she's truly super. I'd also like to thank Ted for the use of his hair dryer.
I'd post a picture but the webcam pictures turn out all weird in the dark so I'll wait until the sunlight shines through my window then take one and post it. OR you'll just have to hang out with me and see it yourself

In other news...Pack It Up is performing at the band ball. It's gonna rock mine, yours...everyone's socks! I suggest you come along. However, we will be performing like first....so you'll have to not be fashionably late, ok? Awesome.

I suppose that's all for now

questions? comments? concerns? nnts?

much love,
Nirtak

p.s.
I realize the contraction 'everyone's socks' means literally " everyone is socks" But I was too lazy to fix it......which is ironic b/c I've included a post script about something that could've been fixed with the simple replacement of an apostrophe

Hahhahahahh and I'm spent
