Updates!

Ok, so since I almost was killed by the spider, a lot has happened! Ok, not a whole lot, but still. Enough for me to want to post ablog!

So, I got new brassiers today. Awesome, huh? Yeah, weird think, but They're cute. An dthey actually have patterns on them, they're not just a solid color. One is hot pink and green with hot pink ruffles. The other is pale yellow with purple and blue flowers and leaves. I really love the yellow one. It's super comfy.
Ok, enough crazy bra talk.

So, if you don't know what Novel Novice is, it's a blog/fansite for twilight run by a teacher who has a Twilight club at her school, which is totally awesome! If you don't know what Twilight is, GO READ IT FOR CEILING CAT'S SAKE! Ceiling cat=the God of lolcats.
ANYway... So Novel Novice recently asked if anyone who is good at Photoshop and Writing would be interested in writing a yearbook... And I love both, so of COURSE I volunteered! ANd I was picked! YAYYYYY!!!! I'm going to be doing the class picture page :) Schweet, no? So I'm not exactly sure what that entails, but I'll start by manipulating some pictures to look like normal yearbook photos, and then Photoshop some other pictures together to look like class pictures!

I think I'm getting better at Trich. I haven't been pulling quite a smuch, and my hair seems to be doing better :) Yay me!

I'm going to Comic Con in July. Did I tell you? Can't remember. ANyway, I've decided that I want to go as either Alice Cullen or Tonks from Harry Potter. I think Tonks would be easier. Just wear a Weird Sisters shirt and dye my hair pink! Alice would wear more expensive stuff and I'd have to find gold contacts. So Tonks it is!

I'm going to Yosemite tomorrow! I stil have some packing to do. I mean, I'm all packed for the backpacking part, but we're going to be staying in a hotel on Wednesday and Thursday night and also we're going to SAn Francisco after the backpacking. I'm not so thrilled about the hiking part, but we'll get to go swimming! And I LOVE San Fran. I want to move there when I grow up. Or at least go to college there.

Oh, god, I have the hiccups. Great. :P
Well I should probably finish packing. Cya Later!
Oh, the hotel at Yosemite may have internet, but probably not. The San Fran one definately does, so I'll post another blog probably Tuesday or maybe Monday. It depends how late we get there on Monday.

You stay spiffeh, now ;)

omfgomfgomfgomfgSpiders... Ok, so just one.

Holy effing crap. I swear I just looked in the mirror and I'm plae as a Cullen. Why?
Here's THE ADVENTURES OF KATIE THE ARACHNOPHOBE!
So, I was just sitting in bed on my laptop in a little dress I sometimes sleep in and I was on YouTube, mindin my own business when POOF! There was an effing wolf spider, the size of a quarter right next to me on a pillow. I jumped up and held back a scream, it being almost 4am and all. I recently killed an ant and felt horrible about it (don't ask, I have no idea why) so I couldn't bring myself to kill the spider, even though I am absolutely terrified of spiders. Moreso than needles. And god, do I hate needles! Well, syringes to be more accurate. sewing needles are just fine. MOVING ON!
So I got up and there were some old birthday cards on my nightstand, so I picked one up and began running around my room frantically for a cup or something to put over it. I settled on the little Yankee Candle jar (you know how the candles come in those little jar things?) but by that time, the sider had gone off. So I was terrified to get back in bed, I mean what if it came back? So I sort of shifted my laptop, hoping that would bring him out of hiding. It worked! It scuttled across my bed and used it's silk to get to the ground, where it stopped. I put the candle jar over it and it started to freak out. I put the birthday card under it and I picked it all up. I must have checked the jar about 10billion times to make sure it hadn't escaped on the way to the garage. I set it down on the counter and opened the garage door and turned on the light. I picked it up and went in, checking to make sure it was still there every second. So I finally decided to put it down on the little table where I used to paint a lot. I set it all down, card, candle jar, spid- WTF? NO SPIDER! This spider must have been a fucking magician. I was checking it every fucking second! So I double checked and it was definately gone! So then I started freaking out, feeling all over me to make sure it wasn't on me. I was fucking hyperventilating, I swear I was about to pass out. I was nearly whimpering. No wait, I was! So I pulled myself together and walked back to my room, still patting myself down. Once I got there, I practically ripped off the dress and looked in the mirror, terrified I'd find it on me because I didn't know what to do if I did. So I stripped down to my birthday suit and considered jumping into the shower, but I had already taken 2 showers and wasted plenty of water doing so, I desided against that. I calmed myself down and put my underthings back on, thoroughly checking them for spiders before doing so. I was way to fucking scared to put the dress back on. Too many places it could hide. So I put on a t-shirt and shorts. And that lead to me deciding I had to put up a blog post of my freakness.
While typing this I must have felt about a dozen imaginary spiders crawling all over me.

Ok, so maybe my fears are unfounded. I don't care. Until I find a vampire, I refuse to let anything with fangs come anywhere near me with my consent. OK, so the REAL vampires don't have fangs, just really nice teeth. Whatever. I will call them fangs for the sake of my argument.
So, hope I can get to sleep tonight. Thanks for reading!
~K

And guess what else? My parents dragged me hicking up the mountain by our house and I walked RIGHT FUCKING into a spider web. And I saw the spider. It wasn't on me, thank god, but I still... Holy eff. I just got shivers up my spine. I must be some sort of an effing loon.
Ok, good night for good this time... Or, er morning I guess.

Go Ask Alice

So, I stayed up until about 5am last night/this morning reading this book called Go Ask Alice. It's supposedly the diary of a teenage girl who gets sucked into the world of drugs.
However, the whole time I was reading it, I was questioning it too.
It turns out I was mostly right. Apparently, the Editor, Beatrice Sparks, fabricated much, if not most of the book. She claims that there was a real diary, which, ok, I'll believe. but many experts have pointed out a lot of things wrong with the idea that it is written by a 15-17 year old girl. For one, she uses big words. I don't know a lot of teenage girls who use big words like this chick, "Alice", especially not druggies. Also, the fact that Beatrice Sparks is a seriously conservative Christain and the story ends up saying that Drugs and pre-marital sex are bad and Alice eventually ends up being a good, Jesus loving girl. And then 3 weeks after she apparently decides to stop writing in the diary, she dies of a drug overdose. Now, Beatrice Sparks has admitted that her Alice did not die of an OD, but of a suicide or accident not cause by drugs.
So it was a pretty good book, considering. SHe dies, just when her life is going back to normal. How sad, right? And whether or not she died from an OD or not, thousands of people die evey year from drug OD's.
So, moral of the story, DON'T DO DRUGS KIDDIES! Unless they're non-addictive and you only do them once ;D

Ok, so now I'm going to talk about somehting my mom probably woldn't want me to, but I will anyway, just do hopefully scare people off those addictive drugs.
So, when my mom was younger, se did some drugs. And she shared her experiences with me this afternoon. Talk about a cool mom! I mean the talking about it part, not the doing drugs part. Anyway, she said she did LSD, pot, and Heroin and Cocaine. I can't remember if she said she did meth or not, but she told me to stay away from it, Heroin, and coke, so I guess she did it. She said she did Heroin and Coke fo a month, and she got really addicted to it. Once she stopped, she felt really crappy and was craving it for a year afterward. So WHATEVER YOU DO, do NOT do those. She didn't go into detail about the pot, but she said she did LSD a couple of times. SHe said that it was a pretty interesting and groovy experience, but she sort of got burned out on it after a few trips. And she also said that for a few days after a trip, you feel all hangover-y and weird and yucky and stuff.
So I probably won't be doing any drugs any time soon. But hey, who knows? I'll keep ya posted!

ANyway, onto other news, summer break is kinda boring, I'm going to Comic Con in July, and I'm not a lesbian! If you don't watch my YouTube vids, you wouldn't understand that last reference. Some idiot kept calling me a lesbo on my Talent Show vid (becaus eof my short hair), so I made a vlog about it. And why I have short hair, which, if you have read the entry of the blog, you would already know about.
So go check out my channel for updates and stuff! <3 ya guys!

Bonfire

So, Eric couldn't go to the bonfire after all. :< he had some graduation party or something to go to.
It was still fun! I met some ppl. We ran around, Chera blew bubbles which this girl Kathryn and I both ran around and chased, then this guy Dillon started chasing them too and then I started throwing shells at him. SO then Kyle and Xerxes showed up and Xerxes was talking about zombies. CHera and I were trying to steal Xerxes's hat. Then Kathryn's I think cousins, Nick and a girl I forget her name :< came and we were all talking. Then I went to go get a turkey dog and ppl seemed to follow me. And then somehow Edward CUllen and Twilight were brought up, and Nick said, "It's probably not worth reading." so I threw my empty sprite can at him. Then Dillon and Chera started throwing a squishy baseball thing to each other and I came in and tried to get the ball from then, which started an epic game of keep-away. So then everyone else joined in and then Nick threw the ball at me, getting me back for the sprite can, and the ball hit my neck and I got sand down my shirt. Then I threw my shoes at him. Then we started throwing the ball at each other, usually missing, and then his sister joined in. Then an Ice cream van showed up (at like 9, wtf?) and Nick went to go get some ice cream and the rest of us sort of stood around in a circle and talked and stuff. Then my parents came and picked me up and it was really late so I wztched a little TV and then I crashed, and I haven't taken a shower since yesterday. So yeah, I stink and I feel all sticky cause it was by the beach so the air was all humid and salty and stuff.
So, SHower time!
ttyl!

Somewhat Resolved...

Ok, so Catherine still wants to run away, but I don't think she will. Today at least... sigh

I went to a little get together for my fun prankster group I hang with. I was fun, and they all loved my wig :)
So today/tomorrow (it be 1AM) I'm going to a bonfire! Schweet, no? Yeah, so I heard about it through Chera. I'm not sure if it's put on by her family, or by their friends... But w/e. And guess who is coming? Eric! =D Sigh, I think I really like him. And I think the rest of the dorks too! Apparently during the last bonfire, my friend Becca and Kyle got married ;) jkingly though. And then they got '"divorced" ;)
Ok, exhaustion falling down upon me. TTYL!

Friday, June 13, 2008

Oh goodness...

Ok, so guess what? My friend Catherine has decided to run away from home. Yeah. So She just e-mailed me saying she is tired of her siblings fighting, so I have her some idea on how to ignore them, but she said she tried them and they didn't work. I'm supposed to be going to a party soon, but I'm afraid she'll e-mail me and I won't be here. Gosh, this is not cool.
So anyway, she then sent me an e-mail saying that she was tired of this place and she's leaving. That was about 15 minutes before I responded, saying that that is stupid and she can't do that because she just can't and I gave her the Runaway hotline number (1-800-runaway) she hasn't e-mailed me back, so now I'm thinking that she's either gone or her parents found her and haven't let her back on the computer. What is wrong with this girl? I don't know!
So my mom's burning some pictures to a cd, and when that's done, we're leaving to go to the party, and I'm afraid Catherine will come to our house.
Wait! E-mail! Damn... false alarm. Just my mom. When she's just in the other room :/ Oh boy, are we nerds or what?
So here I am, just waiting for an e-mail... We're going to be having to go soon... God, Catherine, where are you? I really hope she hasn't left... But then why isn't she responding? oh frackfrackfrackfrackfrack......... What do I do??? Frack.


In other news, guess what? I gots myself a magenta wig today in Encinitas! We were going to go to Solona beach, but Encinitas had cuter shops. And anyway, there's a store there called Flashdance, and it has the most awesome retro/vintage stuff you have eva seen! I mean it had this totally awesome vintage black 80's prom dress... So amazing, and it actually looked good on me. I didn't get it though. The wig was kinda expensive.
So I think it's time to go now... I'll keep ya posted!

Meh, Meh... OMC!

Ok, so I think more hath happened than I shall detail-eth tonight...eth. But this is all that really is on my mind atm.

So, 1st on the agenda- Visiting relatives! Last weekend my cousins and Aunt and Uncle from Mexico came to visit! Yeah. Ok, kinda boring. we all saw Kung Fu Panda. I thought it was going to be stupid, but it was Jack Black humor! Not stupid 5 year old humor, but actually funny stuff. The writers did a good job. But back to the relatives... This was the same uncle who had heart surgery a while ago. SO he seemed pretty good considering that.

NEXT- SKOOLZOUT! We were set free last friday. I've been bored when I have any free moment. My mom and I have gone to the mall like every day since monday. We saw Prince Caspian on Tuesday. It was AMAZAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ben and William (Caspian and Peter) are SOOOO AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS!!! I was like droling in my seat. And it had Peter Dinklage in it! Schweet, no? I don't care if he is a dwarf, he is handsome. And I will stand by that! On Wednesday I got Some Rainbow sparkly suspenders and a V for Vendetta poster at Hot Topic. Today my mom got my dad a digital camera for fathers day and I got some cute but comfy white shoes. Tomorrow we're going to Solona beach to check out the shops and stuff.

Secondarily- I heretofore announce some awesome and Squeelworthy news... Eric Hath e-mailed me! Woot! His e-mail has been stupid and hasn't been letting me e-mail him, so he somehow got my e-mail address and e-mailed me! schweet. And yes, this is THE Eric we're talking about. Not dancing Eric. Dork Eric.=D *beams*

Sixth and lastly- A special friend *cough*Erika*cough* contacted a certian stalker of mine yet again and told him about the Alex rants. I had to fake it to not hurt his feelings- I was all "Huh? Oh yeah, we were e-mailing a while ago and she said I should have an 'Alex Rant' and I was all like Okaaaayyy... so I've been writing things in my blog that you 'do'. It's just fake stuff though." SAFE! He totally bought it. I guess thoe Improv games in Drama class paid off, huh? Oh and Erika told him about how if he has his drivers lisence, why am I not "swooning" he was quoting her kind of creepily though. It was weird. I just sort of akwardly laughed it off. When I got home, I gave her a stern talking-to (ok, e-mailing-to...) and she said she wouldn't contact him again. So I think this may be the last Alex rant! Why? Because We're not going on the same days next year! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!! He'll be a senior and I a sophmore which means he goes Wed/Fri and I go Tues/Thurs. I'd be sad about loosing such a traditional segment on LoaA if I weren't so fracking happy! Although we might occasionally see each other on Mondays and in Drama, I can bear it. Just think- 1 more year and I'll never have to see him again! Ever! I just have to make sure we go to different colleges...

And to conclude- I SHALL ACHEIVE YOUTUBE STARDOM! Hmmm... I just have to think of a good sketch idea...

Bonus points* if you can figure out who I was quoting in my numbering!

*Bonus points not actually worth anything. Points can only be exchanged for imaginary prizes. Points cannot be traded for currency Points may only be awarded to citizens of Chile and Alaska. It is not the fault of Katie or any of the LoaA of you are an idiot and think these points actually will get you anything.

Why Gay Marriage is WRONG

Ok, so if you already hate me for putting a video with this title up here, just wait. It's all sarcastic! This guy is effing hilarious, but he makes sense too.
Oh, and I know how to disprove any Christian who uses the Bible to say Homosexuality is wrong. Well, maybe not disprove, but falsify anything they say when quoting the bible. The West Wing helped me with some of it. I'll try to dig up that video clip on youtube...
Oh, and if you think Gay=Evil, you are a bigot. That's all I'm gonna say.

Talent Show 2008!!!

So, I had mor ein the intro, but it pushed it over the 10 minute mark, so I had to just recap the 3rd act. Here's what I put for the others...
Act 1: Catherine and I did Bop to the Top. Yes, all of the pushing me aside was intentional. I was the one with the hat and no hair ;D She did push me around quite a bit, and looking back, it did look a bit silly, but I actually did a spontaneous double pirouette! Heck yes! After she knocks my hat off, I was supposed to spin once, but I did it twice! I didn't even realize I did until I was watching the tape! WOOT!
Act 2: meh, I didn't really do very well. There were other guitar acts who were about a bazillion times better. I was seriously nervous, so sorry if I sucked. I'm never nervous when singing or dancing from a musical theatre thing, but that was the first time I've ever played guitar in from of that many people, so yeah.
Act 3: Like I sai, my total favorite! I think it could have been a bit sharper near the beginning of the dance part, but after I got the hat, I loved it! I smile hugely every time I watch it!
Well, obviously you're reading my blog now... So yeah.
My parents started totally cracking up when I showed them this vid and it cut me off. It was hilarious. I'm serious, they were laughing for a good minute :P
And the best part? I won Judge's favorite act! I got a $20 starbucks gift card! Yeah, as if I need another one of those ;)
But it was all a lot of fun. I just can't wait until next year!!!
Well, hoped you enjoyed these! I'll edit and post the Breaking Dawn reaction vid now :) Then I'll do a "live" reaction to the Twilight scene on the MTV music awards thing tonight. When I say that, I mean I'm probably going to use Quick Capture, if I can. I'll do a test video around 7 so that I'll be sure I can do it. From the stills that were released of the scene, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the ballet studio scene!!! SQUEEE!!! OMC! OME! Yeah, I'm ecxited if you haven't noticed... So I'll do some editing, then I'll do a test video around 7, and then I'll do the "Live" Reaction video around 8 or whenever it starts! EEK! OK, I'll see you then! =DDDDDDDD

INTERMISSION! (Talent show 2008)

Yes, I realize that it's dark and blurry and you can't really see them, but you can see 3 of my 4 dorks at the beginning. Eric is barely visible. He was the only one who didn't try to get a lot of camera time, so the only footage of him I have was at the very beginning. If you pause at :16, you can just barely see him. He's sometimes in the background though. He wears a black trenchcoat. Try to see if you can see him!
Kyle always wears that yellow and grey jacket. Even in a million degree weather, he wears it. Freak, yes? Yes =)
Stefan is the one who makes the weart face and weird noise at the beginning. Yeahhhh...
Catherine is my bff. We did Bop to the Top together ;D That's in the real talent show video though.
CHris is her... special friend... ;) loljk. They totally like each other, but Catherine can't go out until she's 16. I'm not allowed to say how cute they are together to their faces on pain of death, but they are cute and that's final!
Xerxes is just very random, end of story ;)
Jack is sort of a nerd. He's really smart, and everyone always teases him for it. He's not extremely out-there, but he's adorable sometimes. I've always had a mini-crush on him. He's pretty awesome :D
Chera doesn't always like to be caught on camera. So she hid :) lol
Then Catherine stole my hat! GOSH! She put it on CHris and told him to run, but he didn't because he, "Can't run with 2 hats on" lol. So I stole it back and Catherine hit him for letting it escape.
Not sure what Kyle was attempting to do, but I caught him before he could do it! Muhuhahaha!!!
Then I stole Chris's hat hahaha!!! And Catherine tried to chase me to get it back. Before it could get any more silly, Hillary, our emcee, said we had to sit back down, so I gave Chris his hat back and Catherine and I sat back down.

15th Birthday Partay!

So, May 17th was my 15th birthday and party! Woot! So, We split into teams of red, yellow, and blue and had competitions. We did LE JOUST, dance competition, water balloon toss, mini bowling, Boyfriend/girlfriend tag, and Um, Uh, Or Like. The last 2 are kinda hard to explain, so I'll let you research them on your own ;)
So I don't want to detail the entir party. I had an awesome cake and got a lot of money and awesome presents and stuff.
Oh, and if you were wondering, the Eric in the dance competition isn't the Eric I have a crush on. The week I wanted to give my dorks invitations, I couldn't find them anywhere and they never check their e-mail. hmmph. So they werent there :(
So anyway, I'll now post the INtermission of the Talent Show blog!!!

New YouTube vids!!!

SOOOO... I have 3 new vids up on YouTube now! 2 for my school talent show that was Friday, and 1 of my 15th birthday partay! I'll post a separate blog post for each, including the vid. Just wanted a placeholder here fro anyone who follows the link to the blog! I'll post my b-day partay vid up here first. That should be up withing a few minutes, so hold your dang quesadillas while I type up a summary! :D ttyl!
