volcano insurance?

So my favorite Family Guy was on tonight - the one with the cloud insurance and the " I need a Jew" song hahahah I love it!


My hair is FINALLY starting to grow out which is awesome. I absolutely hated my last haircut. It was hideous....I liked it when I went and got it cut w/my dad but it was uneventful and gave my head a weird shape....like an avacado. (no?) So I went to " fix" it and this chick butchered my hair. Anyway......


sorry for talking about my hair.

So Elizabeth is really leaving! That just hit me the other day! It's soooo sad Who am I gonna go to shows with? And to the Berkley? And who's gonna obsessively talk about " how cute Matt is" to me??? The other night we had SO much fun - we were up ALL night (till 6?) hangin out w/folks and what not, it was great We even did mattress sledding down the stairs.....I'm all choked up

Other than that life is good. I can't WAIT until spring!!! For some reason it felt like a spring day when I woke up this morning so I cleaned everything, I even washed my sheets (yessssssssssssss). I don't know about you guys but I LOVE sleeping in a freshly wash'd bed. Even better if the sheets are still warm from the dryer (which they aren't but it's still super.)

I think I want new glasses.....


readyyyyyyyyyyyy goodnight!

aaaah

So I am WORN out...wow.

I'm doing entirely too much and I'm sure my body hates me. (sorry, body!)


Anyway I got about an hour...hour and a half of sleep last night and had to work at Starbucks at 6am this morning. I was SO completely useless and I'm sure Julie was pissed - sorry Julie! I gave her a mug award though saying she's a good shift lead (which she is) but it was moreso for putting up with me hahaha.

De todos modos, even though I'm SOOO excited for Spring (closer every day!) I will say that cool air (NOT cold air) is very refreshing. It's so nice to wake up and walk to campus when it's nice and chilly outside. But I still hate winter so there.

I decided what I'm going to do about my jobs. I've discovered that I love both jobs (lucky me!) but I like working at Sam Ash better. Besides that, I've been there for a year and it's an awesome reference and I know and love the other employees. So what I've done is told Jason (starbucks manager) that I'm interested in a shift position, and I told John (sam ash manager) that I need a raise. John I don't think has taken me seirously though so I need to keep pushing that. Anyway - whichever job bites first is where I"ll stay. I'll quit the other one, because honestly, I am way too exhausted. . .

I was tlaking to my dad on the phone the other day and we were sort of talking about serious stuff and I started crying just as an excuse to cry I think. So my emotions are all whacko b/c I'm so tired always.

I plan to read for the rest of the night... I'm almost done with The God of Small Things (again) so maybe i can finish it tonight and start on the book Kate lent me. woohoo!

ok sorry I was so talkative, I <3 all of you

p.s. - do you ever wish you were an elephant? So you coudl play in the mud and water all day and be big and huge and not be screwed with? (for the most part)

. . . . .

I'm gonna vomit

I feel so yucky which means I just feel yucky or I'm fighting off a sickness. You see, I don't often get sick, but it has been a while. I really hope I''m not due for being sick...ew


I changed my mind. Instead of an elephant (although I'd be an elephant any day) I think I'll be a dog. They're so cute and great and just always have fun ALWAYS. The problem is that humans screw up everything. They screw with the elephants they screw with the dogs


they screw with the land

Seriously...we're depleting everything beautiful and natural in this world and somtimes it makes me want to cry. Cry for the people who never get to see what once was, cry for whatever Being or God created everything that we're destroying, and cry for us....we're bringing our own end nearer and nearer


Anyway...sorry. I have a really hard test tomorrow and it's so hard to study when you feel like sh*t. I also have about 203984230948 things on my mind, 20934802374982635209458 things that need to get done, and 0 minutes to do them in.




Also, can you all please stop getting boyfriends and girlfriends? and for the love of pete PLEASE stop getting engaged! It's really starting to weird me out.

I'm gonna go have some pepto

sick :(

hey guys... I'm in Denver right now trying to recover what really was the death.

I'll spare you the details but basically Igot a severe stomach virus. I started to throw up pieces of blood and had to have an IV to rehydrate me and some shot of something or another to help me stop throwing up. I came home b/c the doctor said she didn't want me to be alone (in case I threw up again). The good news is I haven't, and hopefully I won't. I've had about 3 crackers and a bowl of broth which is exciting......

but


I'll never eat a veggie burger again in my life.

It wasn't food poisoning though so don't be scared of veggie burgers or the wolve's den

Thank you to all my friends who helped ESPECIALLY tyrone, elizabeth, and melinda! you guys helped me soo much.

I was so scared that night and called my parents at 5am b/c I didn't know who else to call #1 reason living alone sucks. But seriously...if Tyrone hadn't taken me to the health center when he did I would've been a LOT worse than I was....

I feel so gross right now and my toungue has a gross tase from all the medicine. SOrry if I'm moody too...I threw up 2 of my pills (the birth control pills) and missed today's (until just now) so I'm all moody and emotional.

ANyway...I should be back sat. or sun. and then have to work my ass off catching up with everything. *sigh*......

hope you all have a super weekend

Chips Ahoy

Ok so first of all I don't like that chips ahoy commercial where they're like " happy birthdya!" and then they say there's no cake (insinuating that they're gonna eat the cookie they were just singing happy birthday to) it's not even funny it's just mean

Also

this week is going to be really really REALLY difficult


Also

I think I might move in w/Nick and Rich when E-beth moves out (depending on $$ and what not)

as well as....

tongiht Nick made sushi for a bunch of us and it was so super good omg

and also my dad has the flu now

that is all!

Valentine's Day

Hello children,
Here it is Valentine's day and I, kid you not, am sitting here with a bag of Hershey's Kisses alone on a rainy cold night watching a Danielle Steel novel turned movie.

Don't worry it can all be explained . . . well it's just rainy first of all and, y'know...that'll happen, I'm fixin to go to sleep b/c I have to open at Starbucks tomorrow, the kisses were b/c I gave one to everyone at work today (and shooooot I'll eat them leftovers), aaaaaaaaand the movie is b/c it was just on and I swear to you - male or female- that if you turn on a lifetime movie and watch it for 5 mintues there's nothing you can do to pull away. Yes, they're horrible. Yes, they're cheesy....but there's nothing you can do - it's like crack.

Anyway, my day was a good day - I had to get up early and wait for the cable guy that didn't show but it was nice b/c I read and ate a lovely breakfast and what not. I ran into Jason today - I haven't seen him in forever! It was funny b/c right as I was walking in caldwell I was like " I wonder how Jason's doing I haven't talked to him in a while . . " and I hear " Katrin!" from behind me and I turn and sure enough it's Jason! I still feel like he talks to me like I'm 3 years old. I think a lot of that is b/c I back down to him so he takes advantage of that. I don't know but I hate it when people talk down to me it pisses me off so bad.


oh my god I'm turning this movie off before it's too late.


Valentine's day really has no point. I liked it when I was in elementary school with the maliboxes and everyone's valentines it was sooo fun but now it's just a completely pointless retail holiday. Weird......I don't think I'd celebrate it if I were in a relationship b/c there really is no point...I'm not going to anti-celebrate it and be bitter and wear black, I'm just not going to plan a huge dinner with fancy gifts and what not

At work I was in such a good and "lovey" mood and gave everyone hugs (actual ones), and the hershey's kisses. BUT - then 7, SEVEN different guys there asked me (on seperate occasions) why I didn't have a man, or if I did have a man and why I was single and blah blah blah. I really dont' mind being single but when people act like it's sad or weird it just makes me think and no one likes to think. I'm not sad I'm just pensive.

and apparently in the mood to write.

But I have to be up at 5am so buenas noches amigos

deep thoughts by Katrin Rahe

So this week is very intense....I've had a lot of catching up to do from being sick.

I got a D on my entomology test today.....science tests are ALWAYS liket aht - I get so excited b/c it's interesting, whiz through tht etest in 20 min., and am SURE that I did well.........

then I get a bad grade

It's ok thought because my scrapbook is going ot be like no other and he's going to give me 239048230948 million extra credit points so BOOYAH

p.s. I'm minoring in entomology


Also, my anthropology teacher is a b*tch and it's true. She's being completely unflexible and mean for no reason other than she's probably bored or just a b*tch. Whatever, I hope she gets the T virus I had....maybe I should lick her pen and put it back on her desk BWA AHHAHAH



Last night the berkely was so much fun - it was very uncrowded but EVERYONE was there:
Nic, Nick, LEON, Marcus (wtf!?!?!), the usuals-Rich, Josh, EJ, Greg, etc.

EJ is so freaking amazing, I love that boy. He's gorgeous first of all....not in the classicly handsome way....just gorgeous. He's got the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen and he's probably going to be famous one day. Anyway the reason I love him is because he's incredibly talented. His main instruments include trumpet and guitar - which tend to have the most cocky people play them. EJ, however, is completely modest and a kind soul. He always says the right thing that you'd never expect to hear......he motivates me to pursue my dreams, to be true to myself, and put myself first, and to pour my soul into anything I do. Last night we were talking about relationships and I said I've never been in love and he leaned over and said " you've never let yourself." There's really nothing I could've said to that......it makes me sad really because I'm sure I'm missing out - but I think I've only had one opportunity and that was a bust......but maybe I'm still not. I'm pretty sure I have a wall up around my heart but better safe than sorry, eh?

I have so much to do and so little time to do it all in. I'm very stressed but at the same time very relaxed because at least now I have my health on my side (minus this cold thing I have goin on)

Saturday is barefoot manner which is going to be incredible as usual - esp. b/c it's at the Lincoln (best venue EVER)! It's been entirely too long since I've seen Barefoot and Mannerland gets closer and closer each day......


I need a Keller Williams CD

I also need to go do homework......

Now is the time for Change

Hey guys

unfortunately I didn't go see Barefoot last night I was gonna end up going alone but Marshall called me and I went over there to chill for a while and fell asleep (loser!) I def. regret it b/c Billy and Dave were out there

but John Wilson's wedding party is yet to come so no worries!

In other news the week from hell has passed - even though the teacher from hell is still giving me . . .. . hell. hahaha I seroiusly want to egg her car or something

YEsterday I realized that things are changing.....a big change - but you know what they say. . .

So I think I'm just gonna sit around in Denver for spring break b/c I'm too poor to even think about going anywhere fun. My sister's getting her tonsils out so she's gonna be down for the count...but I'm hoping maybe I can go on a random beach trip for a couple days? something - I NEED the beach, I haven't been in ages and it's starting to wear at my soul ....so anyone up for a 2/3 day beach trip? holla holla

ok I have to go to Sam Ash - b'bye now
Currently listening to: this bird outside my window - so presh

anything to keep me from studying

soooo it's 12:12am...

I just got done w/inventory at Sam Ash - that was MUCH better than in August - because then I was still in the band dept. and had to count about 239048203498 recorders and all the f*cking publications and let me tell you - it was awful

I think I'm developing a crush on someone at work which is not good for 2 reasons:
#1 He works with me
#2 I don't have the time (or the emotional strength) to have a crush right now

but alas....my feelings do as they please as usual. I'm kinda hoping it's just my hormones acting crazy as they tend to do.

I have a test at 9am and I'm doing a very poor job studying right now. This is for that horrible teacher that's being a complete ass clown to me. See this is when I get frustrated w/myself because I SHOULD be studying and I WANT to want to study...but I can't! Does taht mean I'm not a " college person" or does that mean I'm just lazy?

Also - Elizabeth is having a going away party (she's hiking the appalachian trail come the end of march if you didn't know) on MARCH 19TH - a Saturday (if you want details/directions then call me) but also - I'm going to start telling people to make monetary donations as they please. She can't have gifts b/c she's trying to sell everything she owns (seeing as how she can't hike w/it) and she would never ask for money but she needs it and if any of you feel so inclined - donate a few bucks - $1, $2, $500 - whatever! I think also that I want it to be a surprise so if you want to give it to me in an envelope or card or something I want to make a money tree or something fun and creative. Anyway the moral of the story is donate money to the Elizabeth Hiking Fund

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm done


p.s. - that party's gonna be off the hook for real - out in the middle of nowhere w/a shed equipped w/amps and what not for those musicians who'd like to play...some good southern food (::fingers crossed:, beer....it's gonna be hot!

FRUSTRAT'D!!

FRUSTRAT'D!!

Soooo I think I'm messed up emotionally maybe? There have been plenty of opportunities to date guys who are interested in me and I've been interested but never do anything. ever. I wonder why? ¿quien sabe?


ok #2 this guy across the hall from me just emptied 23094820348 bags from his apt. into the hallway then carried them all out. They looked like grocery bags stuffed w/clothes or something....but it also sounded like they were all double bagged a.k.a he was just rustling in the hall FOREVER and it was annoying.

I think I'll be moving into Nick and Rich's soon.....I hope everything works out and that I'm not making the wrong choice. I've had so many problems with roommates that I'm beginning to think I'm the problem......I just don't exactly feel safe here soooooooooooo


also I want a dog really really REALLY bad someone please talk me out of it b/c I think I can have a dog if I move in E-beth's place......



Jesse just burnt me the new Roots CD and
o

is it hot you must hear it!!!! Thanks Jesse!


love to all
