I am not a loser!

Well unfortunately I'm a loser and I haven't updated this thing yet. Actually...I think I'd be more of a loser if I had nothing better to do than write a new blog post every day. So yay for me for not being a loser!

Not much has been going on. I've worked some, but not much because I'm not really getting as many hours as I had hoped or planned on. I found out that I will only be working about 3 1/2 days a week at Broken Rocks. Which is definitely not really enough considering it's the only job I have right now. So hopefully I can get more hours soon because everyone knows how much money us college kids need. I'll also try to babysit as much as possible, but it will be difficult to get hours from Marissa. Babysitting hog, lol. But if I don't get more work I might have to look into getting a second job of some sort, which but I don't really want to. I'd rather just work a lot at Broken Rocks because I like waitressing. I think it suits me well. I'm really hoping I can just get more hours.

Other than that I've just been spending time hanging out and relaxing. I've been getting to see a lot of my boyfriend (yeah, that's right! I am no longer single. Go figure). Also I got to hang out with the Fab Five minus one last night. Tiffani, Amy, Marissa, and I (Ashley is still at college) went to see Just My Luck, the new Lindsay Lohan movie. Yes, I admit I'm curious enough to pay money to see it...and I must say it was actually better than I thought it would be, although there was still a little lack of talent on Lindsay Lohan's part.

I also got my wisdom teeth taken out a week ago...all four of them. I got put to sleep with an IV and I am still freaking bruised from it! WTF?! Oh well, the IV wasn't so bad. Which is a good thing because that's what I was mostly worried about. I'm sort of a wuss when it comes to needles. Shots and surgeries on the mouth I can handle. Heck I had 10 teeth pulled and a bit of gum surgery. That was nothing, but shots...that's another story. But overall it was really not that bad at all. I was on vicodin straight for two days so that probably helped. Yeah...I like vicodin. lol

Alrighty, well I had better go now. I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful weather...yeah right...it's been raining for like a week. Oh well. It will get better.

Can you believe it?!

Wow...can you believe that it's been a year since I started writing in this thing again? Which means, it's been a year since my last birthday! That's right! I am now 19 years old. Yay for me! One more year and I'll be two decades old...geesh...I'm getting old. I don't want to grow up. You know, last year on my birthday I was a senior in high school and this year on my birthday I'm totally a sophomore in college. Now if that isn't crazy I don't know what is.

So yesterday for my birthday I went to my cousin Josh's wedding, and it was wonderful. Very beautiful. So since we did that all day yesterday I get to celebrate my birthday today. So we're having cake and ice cream in like an hour. Yum Yum! I'm excited, even though I feel like I've been eating nothing but desserts since lent ended and it's the least thing I need right now, especially since I don't have a very convenient rec center a two minute walk away anymore. Which means I need to start running or something....dear me.

So I have been home for summer for about five days now! And let me just say that it is amazing! Now only have I not had to do any schoolwork, but I've started working again (chaching!) and I get to see my wonderful family. And not to mention my friends...this one guy in particular :) So you know me I've just been chilling by the beach getting a tan. Ha ha. No...if you think that then you DON'T know me. I've basically been trying to get my room organized and all cleaned and working. Which will basically be my entire summer. Well, not so much the cleaning. But definitely working and spending time with friends and family!

So I'll be sure to try and keep updating this thing as much as possible, but then again it doesn't really matter because I doubt anyone will even continue reading this thing now that the summer is here and we'll all be so busy with work. But you never know, so stay tuned! Oh, and I am totally getting my wisdom teeth taken out this Tuesday...and I am VERY scared, and going to probably be VERY puffy-faced and sad just sitting here all alone at my house. So if anyone wants to come visit me then be my guest! Just don't laugh at my blimp of a face.

Keep smiling :)

Four days!

As of now I am two papers, two finals, and four days away from going home. I am such a mix of emotions right now. I am very stressed because of all this work, I am sad because I'm going to miss Mallory Ann and horseback riding (yeah...that's about all I'm going to miss...), I am depressed because I don't see why I have to stay four more days. Why can't I just go home now?! I am also very jealous that Marissa gets to go home Monday, whereas I have to wait until Wednesday...

katherinel12: I'm going to egg your car as you're driving away.
marissa5687: it's your car too
katherinel12: I don't care. You're going home without me.

But on the other hand I am SO happy to be going home in four days! In four days I'll be done with school for almost 3 1/2 months! In four days I'll be with family and friends! In four days I'll be with someone special! In four days I'll be three days away from my 19th birthday. In four days I'll have no worries whatsoever because it will be summer and life will be grand!

Good luck on finals all you college kids!

Keep smiling :)

You've GOT to be kidding me!

Usually when I wake up at seven o'clock for horseback riding I throw on some dirty jeans, an old shirt, and my boots because let's face it. Who wants to get all dolled up to go get dirty? (Except for maybe the typical Miami girl...) But today it was our last class and we were only taking a written final so I thought that it would be a good idea to dress up since I had a group presentation in my class right after horseback riding. If I'm going to stand in front of an entire class I might as well look like I didn't come right out of barn (literally)!

So after horseback riding I was walking up the sidewalk next to the main road into Miami University. Being the only one on the sidewalk since I finished my final early and it was only around 8:40 I was startled by honking. I looked over and there it was, my worst nightmare (well...I'm sure I could think of worst), a bald, middle aged semi truck driver waving at me with a disturbing grin on his face. Come on! You've got to be kidding me! I am NEVER honked at. Why today? So naturally I ignore him because it would be a huge waste of the five seconds it would take to wave and smile back at such a disgusting example of the male species.

No, Mr. truck driver, I will not show even the slightest bit interest in you. Not even if you showed up on my doorstep with a bouquet of Chrysanthemums offering to take me to the Cheesecake Factory and spend the entire day shopping on your expense! NOT EVEN THEN! Haven't you seen the movie Thelma and Louise? Don't you know what happens to pathetic men like you who honk at passing girls? Apparently not, so why don't you watch that movie THEN dare to honk at me, baldy!

Now I know what you're thinking...what a morning, but no...I'm not even done! Not more than ONE minute later I was startled again by a guy in a white truck. He had the window rolled down and he was waving shouting "Hey there!" What is going on?! Do I have a sign on my back that says "If you act like a pig I'll sleep with you"? No! I do not! So after ignoring him I hoped it would stop there...guess again. The creep pulled into the parking lot I was walking through. Once again he continued to wave and call at me, but I just walked by, praying that he wouldn't get out of his car. THEN, as if all that wasn't enough, about fifteen minutes later while I was walking to my next class he was parked at Presser Hall...the parking lot I have to pass through.

As I walked past, avoiding him, he said "Scorpio?" And although I should have just kept walking I said, "What?" in a perturbed voice. He said "Don't worry. My wife lives right over there" and pointed to the house next to the parking lot. Now since that is the only house in that area and I'm about 99.9% sure it's owned by the university I'm going to safely assume he was lying. So he continued to say "Are you a Scorpio, red?" Dear me...was he actually asking my sign. People ACTUALLY do that?! Hoping to shut him up, just as I was almost past him I said "Taurus." Why I answered him...I'll never know...but then he said "You're a bull?!" I should have said, "Yeah, and you're an ass." But I'm pretty sure to him it would have sounded more like "Let's get out of here, baby!" (Sorry for the vulgar language mom and dad...)

What did you expect, Mr. Astrologist? Did you think I'd actually engage in a flirtacious conversation with you? Did it not occur to you that I don't have the slightest bit interest in you? Did you not realize that you're probably a good 15 years older than me and for me to even consider flirting with you would cause me to throw up? I wouldn't even flirt with you if your "wife" offered to pay me a thousand dollars. NOT EVEN THEN! Which I'm sure that even if you did have a wife you'd still try to hook up with girls almost half your age. This isn't Hollywood. You're not Michael Douglas or George Clooney. Trust me, it's not gonna happen.

I know what some of you are thinking. "You should be flattered!" Well, quite frankly I'm not. Quite frankly, I'm disturbed. I can take a compliment, but these are not compliments. These guys will most likely honk at any living thing that moves. I'm not saying all guys are like this...but let's face it. There are definitely more than there should be...especially in the truck driving department. If someone wanted to pay me a compliment respectively, I would glady accept. But this morning was hardly appropriate. End of story.

Keep smiling :)
and beware of middle aged men who have nothing better to do then oogle at innocent college students

I don't collect...

There you are talking to someone you just met and you're asking questions to get to know one another. You talk about music, sports, movies, hobbies, interests, then bam! It somehow comes up...Do you collect anything? Well, it might be more likely to come up in a different situation, but the question is the same no matter how it is brought up. And you know what? I don't like that question. Why not? Because I don't have a good answer.

I wish I could say something cool like "I have the fortune from every fortune cookie I've ever eaten" or "I collect rare diamonds" (I wish!). But the truth is, I don't collect anything remotely interesting. The only thing I can really say that I collect is movie ticket stubs, and I've only been keeping them since February 4, 2004 (Win a Date with Tad Hamilton). I really wish that I had thought to save my movie ticket stubs from the very first movie I saw, which I really don't remember what it was, but I assume it was some Disney movie. If only I had been a four year old girl thinking "I better save this ticket stub so I can please my future self." Darn it, four year old Katherine! I don't care if you were the cutest little four year old ever, you disappoint me! Heehee.

So since I have only been collecting my old ticket stubs for a little over two years I've decided that it's still pretty cool because I remember who I went with and where I saw each and every one of those 44 movies (plus the two or three movies that I didn't get the ticket stub back when Brian paid for the movies while we were dating). So I think that's pretty cool that I have a good enough memory to remember each and every movie experience. So I should definitely continue to save my ticket stubs. That way in like 50 years I can look back at all the hundreds of ticket stubs and have a wonderful blast to the past...assuming I don't begin to lose my memory when I'm seventy (Knock on wood).

So my goal in life is to see as many movies in theatres as possible. Since I have about 46 movie ticket stubs and I've been saving for the past two years and two months then I must go to approximately 23 movies a year...hm...I'll be home in 12 days. Hint hint. Invite me to the movies! Heehee.
