plan of action...

So, hey I am going out to Portland in June for a few summer classes at PSU. Think I will stay thru the fall and officially transfer in Spring. I have to get caught up on some Chem, and they have transferable credits and stuff. So between the 2 schools I can stay on track for my major & minors. the tuition is the same...and if I become a resident of Oregon it is insanely cheap.
I love it here and love everyone, but I am ready for a change of location...then I will be all set for a while. haha.
So that is my news and plan of action.
Love Kat

fell off the fence i was walking on. prob is a good thing. needed to lay there and reflect a little anyhow. realized that i had to look at why i was walking fence to begin with instead of freaking cuz i fell off.
i have never felt so challenged in my life. some challenges, like school, are self inflicted. others, like family, falling out of love, (and finding new love interest only to have him move 2000 miles away) are situations that i cannot control. the only thing i can do is try to deal and get thru it.
i know i have a huge support system. and if you are reading this, you know i am part of yours.
i am going to start today with a better attitude and try being hopeful instead of helpless.
todays list:

• drink tea and read bbc news cuz i have no idea what is going on
• shower
• wear fav. clothes and fav converse sneaks w/ star laces
• go to bio lab and work real hard
• hike up mountain to dad's place
• leave him letter of what i have been up to, and lucky rock that vic gave me. (his idea)
• see family since i have been neglecting to hang out for months
• get caught up on homework
• eat something green

love kat

ohhhhh RONALD!

Hi. Saw The Departed last nite. It was fucking amazing. I love mobster movies, especially when they are done really well. Def made me feel a little sick, though.
Feel kind of funny today. Totally woke up in my bed this morhing and have NO memory of getting there. I only had 1 beer at dinner, so I def wasn't drunk. Weird. Maybe my friend slipped me some rufies when we got back last nite. haha! jk.
Up early to meet my bio lab partner. We are doing an experiement w/ wasps & dif wavelengths of light. Fun.
Okay quick list to make me feel good.
Things I am happy about at moment:

• The muffin i just ate
• JC fixn my guitar so it sounds all sweet
• New jean size!
• this pic of me humping ronald
• LOVE kat

it is 3am and i am wideafucking wake. hmmmm. wtf? i watched indiana jones temple of doom, about a boy, lost in translation. also registered for spring classes. shit i should bring out the recycling since they will be here in 2 hours and it's embarassingly full. wow. no i am not on ANY drugs. maybe i need some downers though.
got a bad grade on chem exam. not good. so i pounded a mojito and went to see Fearless w/ the boys. (disappointing. prob due to translating/editing or something.) felt a little better after that and some indian food.
going to montreal tomorrow w/ the dudes. fun. living it up a little while vic is still in town.
i should prob either go to bed or study now. just checking in.
LOVE you to the moon.

99 problems but a bitch ain't one

i finally made a real friend at school. finally! she is a girl. film production graduate. is working on an indie rite now to send to sundance. pretty rad. we have lots of randomn shit in common which is always fun when you meet someone new. turns out we both want to fuck rockstars and ari from entourage--because he is such an asshole. also like same music blah blah blah...

we like to sit around and make fun of sorority girls. we call them "e's" cuz they are all named either ashlee or courtney. (um i know my name ends in and "e" and so does hers, but that doesn't count.)
the other day one of the "e's" came into the exchange office where we work and said "uhhh is Italy like considered part of Europe?". WTF? i am definitley not a genius, but i have to wonder how she made it to her junior year not knowing that. wow.

anyways, i was starting to feel REALLY lonely at school. and i am there ALL the freaking time. so it is great to have a supersmart awesome girl to hang out with. makes a difference.

ps: i ate a ton of super spicy indian food last nite and now i have the worst gas ever. ugh. no wonder vic went home so early this morning. i am eating oatmeal to try to counteract it...not sure why i think it will work, but have a feeling meg would suggest it.

pss: after reviewing this post before publishing i realize i come off sounding like an uppity snob, which is just as bad as being an "e". hmmm. not so cool. i will post it anyways.

Love you long time,
kat

hi. i am chowing down a bagel like someone is gonna take it away from me. have to work for a couple of hours today and then study. woke up w/ giant headache from cheap tequilla. no bueno at all. eww. went out last nite to celebrate friend giving notice at work. fun. i think we are going to NYC on friday to celebrate some more. ummm yeah, i don't really have anything to say. more of the same. der.
oh and i have to decide today which trip to go on for school. there is an ecuador trip where i'd study in the andes mtns and a rainforest, or a marine biology trip where i'd scuba dive in coral reefs. i get 3-4 credits for whichever trip i take. and they cost the same. i don't know what to do, can't do both. both are credits towards my major/minor.
love kat

hahaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

hey dudes. here is a quick update. crazy w/ school and shit. am half asleep at mo and just want to smoke some pot and nap in the sun.

montreal was fun. got to catch a sox/yanks game in hotel room and nap a little b4 hitting town. fun. spent yesterday/nite in boston w/ dude. ate good food and shopped. spent to much $ on pants but they are fucking hot. new chucks, new laces, new music. fuck. oops. whatever. okay, i have LOTS to say but am retarded from no sleep. grabbed a quick nap between yesterday & today. this post is so stupid. sorry, but i love you and needed to say hola.
love kat

gd effing update already!!

hey dudes. yeah, so i HAVE been on everyone's blog but my own. der. super busy trying to settle into this new existance as student. need to learn how to splell betttter for one thing so i can decipher my notes more efficiently. also need to develop some study habits that don't involve napping w/ art history book on my face. (the osmosis thing is really not workin for me yo).
had fun weekend. bike riding, tequilla shots, cosmos n beer. dude & i bbq-ed some serious food and watched la femme nakita & undercovah brotha. spent yesterday in boston w/ both the dudes & ate good asian food, went go-carting, ate good indian and just had a fun time planning what we will do when we win powerball. here is a short list:

• fix my moped
• get some ferraris (dudes, not me--i have a moped remember?)
• buy house in vancouver & move in together
• buy hot airballoon - the part where you sit will be a glass-bottom jacuzzi
• sit around in bathrobes & watch cable television

okay, so there is my update. i had a bunch of pics on last post but my computer crashed b4 i could publish. grrrr. and there are some hot ones of Teneisha & I molesting Ronald McDonald. When I get home i will put them up.

Love Kat!

yo. been super busy getting settled into this school stuff. should have internet at home this week so i can post pics and such. don't give up on me! i am still here! stay tuned.
love kate

hi. i just woke up and thought i'd update a bit. sorry no pics till i get home though. saw some pretty rad music last nite. ten's post pretty much covers it so go there if you haven't already.
i am totally loving this place. I will def be back fo sho. it is the best of both worlds. teneisha's apt is right in dt hillcrest. everything is like 2 steps away from her door-- food, amazing thrift stores, shoes, hot boys... I love it. And Meg has a sick house right across from beach. It is sooo freakin nice there it makes me want to stay forever (i wouldn't mind sleeping in garage meggie...). Right on. Okay, my tea is ready and I should do some dishes cuz i've totally trashed this apt. also need to figure out how to get back into apt from street cuz there are cute shoes i want to check out but tennis is gone to job interview and has the keys...hmmmm. will just scale the building spidy-style.

so, here i am in vancouver. long effing trip. i came here via houston. i seriously don't think i could have had a longer flight. i slept the whole time so it wasn't bad really. got in real late. drank some beers w/ vic & then he drove me around the city.
my hostel was awesome. took ten's advice and made sure to talk to everyone. fun. made friends with girl from australia, brittish couple from texas & 4 dudes from holland. we ate breakfast together in the communal kitchen and shot the shit for a while.
i walked all over the place this morning. this city is super clean and easy to navigate. spent a lot of time looking for an internet cafe and finally found one like one block over from my hostel. duh. i noticed that no one here walks around smoking & talking on cell phones. that is refreshing.
tonight we drink beers and ride cruiser bikes along the seawall. tomorrow maybe mountain biking up at whistler. i hope i see a sasquatch.
peace out yo,
kat

i am in my (chelsey's actually) new house!!!!!!!!
sitting on yoga mat in bedroom typing this on "borrowed" internet access. will post pics later. feels so damn good to have all my stuff in one place. one room even! on sunday i will have my bed. heaven. or pretty close to it. feels good to feel good.

21 saturdays....

yeah, so i am officially unemployed. feels kind of strange to think that everyday will be like saturday for the next 3 weeks. except will be celebrating solo as everyone i hang out with will be at work. boo. had fun going away dinner w/ my best buds at pearl. received 5 bottles of good wine & a real ninja throwing star w/ carrying case as going away presents. ha!!!

i have to pack up my shit in greenfield so my dude friends can move it all in one trip next weekend. am not really looking forwsard to going over there. weird to walk in door and everything is exactly how we left it 3 months ago. creepy time standing still type of feeling. it's the one place where i can feel my old self present somewher in the shadows. wierd and sad all at once. also the refrigerator has food in it from May. yikes. think i should duct tape the door shut and bring it to waste management.

super excited for my trip out to see you chics in cali. prob won't want to leave. i was watching tv recently and there was a dog surfing in socal somewhere. (a jack russel) the ocean looked sooooo damn nice i could feel it. will be fun to stay at both yer places too. yay! am excited for vancouver too. prob smoke lots of pot and ride bikes along the seawall i hear. haha. i am staying at a hostel in a really cool neighborhood the first nite. i guess it's next to the animation design school and it's a fun hip-ish area to hang. (maybe will finally get some action?) good times.

ok, this is a longish rambling post so i am checking out. yo.

Love Kate

hey dudes

2 days left of office space life. so sad. hahaaaaa!!!!! so, to celebrate my new life i bought meself a little present. got some plane tix to vancouver, then san diego. it's a short trip. figured i had better go to help separate old life from new. i don't know. it seemed logical to me. ok, signing off for now. ciao

"born with the gift of laughter and sense that the world was mad..." (or something like that)

think i have mosquito poisoning. or west nile. counting down the last days of work and staying out late every nite cuz i don't give shit if i am tired. i think about what i'll be doing next week and i laugh about how fun i am when i am alone. seriously. i crack myself right up. i can see me now...floating on a raft out in the middle of willard pond. drinking a cold one. naked.
yesterday i was walking around the farm in the late afternoon sunlight which is my fav. and i was pretending i was in africa. then i felt scared of snakes. ironically, when i got home last nite there was half a dead one in the computer room. ewwwwww. that is the second time in 2 weeks. wtf? gd cat.
peace out home slices,
kat
