Hey chicas, what's happening? So here is a little update. Chels totally got that house in Keene. She closes on the 11th & we can move right in. It's exactly 1 mile from downtown, so that is good. I can ride my bike to school! The shortcut is through that massive graveyard. Fun. I like that. I gave my notice at work. My last day is next Friday. Whoa. Okay, so I am freaking out a little about the cash-flow situation, but wtf am i gonna do? Cry about it. Hardly. Well, maybe a little. Loans, loans, loans. Taking the plunge into debt. Whatever, I could die tomorrow and then I'd never know what it's like to be a scientist. Or juggle. I've been meaning to learn.
Love Kat

Love KAT!

Hi. Hmm, let's see....been quite the redneck as of late. Still 4wheeling like mad. Have a cute outfit I wear. Black dress, black converse, black shades and black brain-bucket helmet (you know the type that offer no protection, but look badass.) It has been fun. But we can get a little reckless. Maybe we should be playing guitar instead.
Today is my nephews b-day. He is eleven. I got him the first Clash cd. He will be psyched. So will I when I DLonto my computer.
Not much else going on. Getting ready to move. If all goes well w/ Chels's house stuff, she closes on the eleventh. Keep you fingers crossed. Am pretty damn exctited to have a place for a year. Then on to west coast I hope, to a bigger school. Look out Meg AND Teneisha! I want to volunteer for the Pacific Whale Foundation on Maui next summer if I can so I am looking into that too. Am going to save the reefs. My superhero name will be aqua-kat.
I saw An Inconvenient Truth on Sat. Everyone should see it if you haven't already. And go to www.climatecrisis.org

love,
Kat

cracksicles is right...

Yeah, so I don't know where this energy came from that I've had for the last 2 days. I feel totally manic. Is it possible that I am just happy about leaving work and starting school and moving, w/ an even bigger move in mind? I think so.
I have a bum thumb at mo. Cut it. Was trying to use a nasty piece of glass that I found on floor of barn as a knife. I keep checking for red line that indicates blood poisoning. So far so good.
ooooook....so i don't have a lot to talk about, just wanted to tell you whats up.
here is a list anyways of what i need to accomplish tonight:

• fix car title w/ town clerk
• download more tool to ipod
• watch la femme nikita? (been meaning to do that)
• play guitar & memorize new stuff from Tues. lesson
• write notes on napkins for ben & isabella's lunch boxes for daycamp (they love me. i heard bella telling a friend of hers about me "my aunt kate is WEIRD but she is really nice...)
• have a glass and put my feet up

Love Kat

stay tuned...

have been busy w/ stupid ass work. only 2 1/2 weeks left.
looking for place to live. need job. need to finish last minute paperwork etc. need to make more lists.
had quite the redneck weekend. ignored all responsibilites/deadlines and went 4wheeling w/ my friend. i think we may go tonight... i am a great influence on him. oh, and shot pellets at bottles of diet coke stuffed w/ mentos. nice explosion.
have had limited access to computer at home and no time while at work. but stay tuned...i am still all over this blogging thing. yo.
love you lovely ladies!

something i read today that blew my mind...

"not only could Polynesian navigators indentify and steer by 250 stars, they could navigate by the currents. One great navigator could distinguish between 32 differnent sea swells moving through the vessel at one time..." - wade davis, anthropologist

that is seriously impressive.

ok, so what else? um....oh! i got a new book. a tragicomic called Funhome by Alison Bechdel. so far i like it. it's pretty dark and extremely honest. her drawings are good. sometimes it bugs me the way people are drawn. makes it hard for me to read the story. but i like hers. wow. i am going to sign off now and try this again tomorrow.

love kat

holy heatwave batman

had such a great wknd. really felt like summer. saw nacho libre w/ the boys. funny in a stupid kind of way. shot guns. yeah, that's right. swam. played guitars till the late nite. all in all i give it a 10. Whohhhhhhooooooo. Peace.

Your face is fading but lingers on, cuz light strikes a deal with the coming night...

Woke up super early this morning. 4:30. The birds were singing and before I knew it the sun was rising. The light was amazing against the green green backdrop of trees and such. It made me both happy and sad. It made me miss my dad a lot. Then when I got to work I started deleting old messages from my work phone and one of them was my dad telling me his official race time in the boston marathon from 2 years ago. Whoa! I was NOT expecting to hear him. Startled me a bit. So I cried for a while and feel much better now. Think I will have to leave early and enjoy the rest of this beautiful day.
Love Kat

shazam

my hoodie smells like someone else has been wearing it. not a bad smell, just a different one. you know? it's like boys deoderant or similar, but not too strong. weird. someone is sneak wearing my clothes.hmmmm....
was digging round behind desk just now and found tiny plastic ninja riding a small plastic cat. forgot all about them. have them balancing on water bottle david blane style...wonder how long they can hold out before one of them collapses from exhaustion or has to piss. (i'm pretty sure the ninja has stage fright, so pissing in front of audience is prob not going to work for him.)
kat

firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride

had dream last nite that i got kicked out of catholic school. i was always in trouble and hanging around with this punk boy and making out. it was like a never ending dream. i had to wear a stupid uniform, but i had a wool hat with a skull on it. the nuns were such bitches! at one point they took away my breakfast so i flipped and said to the head nun "FUCK YOU SISTER!" And then i got expelled and went look for that punk boy who turned out to be a scumbag so i ditched him.

i have nothing else to report at mo.
Love Kate

it's time for new post. that othre one depresses me. ugh. head high kat, head high. i love self pep talks. they are the best. love to all. i'll totally be texting the shit out of you. look out. texting is the best. it's so personal, cuz you know someone is thinking of you right at that moment. and i'm not a phone-talker, so text is just right.
going to newburyport for dinner. where is sister? lost her at pearl last nite. i love her.

So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone.
And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow.
But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself, It is best to compose a poem, an honest verse of longing or simple song of hope.That is why I'm singing...

so,

i think i'm gonna take the first week and a 1/2 of June off since all you hot chics will be around.
i can't freakin wait. holy moly.
love to the next galaxy,
kat
