WHOA! Talk about forgetting about this thing! So much has happened since I last wrote! I got two puffer fish (Lucy and Mr. Feeny), I got a gym membership (which I have been going to every night!), I went tanning for the first time, and I've taken all my finals!

Um, and how about IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS, WHICH MEANS ROBBY'S ALMOST HOME AND A DAY! CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND CANDY CANES! CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND CANDY CANES! Christmas just puts me in the best mood! As long as I've got a candy cane, I think I can make it through anything Christmas stress has to throw at me!

I watched Brothers last night, and it made me want to cry! It was such a good movie, and that's all I have to say about that!

Tuesdays are strange.

Currently listening to : AU - Boute

I got out of my house yesterday and what a strange experience it was. I forgot how weird Pensacola people are. On my way to AT&T to pay my phone bill, I drove under a bridge and there were 4 hobos sitting under there with a case of Icehouse and several beer cans lying around them. After paying my bill, I went to Toys-R-Us to find a Christmas gift for my nephew. In the process, I heard a lady tell her child "Shut up or you're not getting anything for Christmas." Oh, what great parenting skill you have, ma'am. Once I left there, I headed over to Whataburger and the guy says "OH! Have you heard about this? *Holds up a flyer* If you wear orange between 5 and 9, you get a free Whataburger." To which I reply, "I don't think I'll be coming back in an hour to get another hamburger." His reply was "But it's a free Whataburger!" I say "Maaaaybe! Maybe I'll tell my mom about it." *starts driving away* "BE SURE TO WEAR ORANGEEEE!" So I'm zooming away from Whataburger and I pass a black hipster, looking somewhat like Kanye West, who is wearing his backpack on his front (a frontpack, if you will) WITH A YORKIE HANGING OUT OF IT! Yes, the hipster had a Yorkie's head popped out of his frontpack! What is this world coming to? Why not just walk him? I don't even know.

Anyway, yesterday reminded me why I don't like getting out in Pensacola. People are just weird, mean, and way too pressing. On a lighter note, I've almost got my Christmas list planned out. Now I just need the money to get everything! It's a good thing I got started a little early this year and didn't wait to the very last minute!

See what I mean..

Currently listening to : Why? - Good Friday


I am awful at keeping up with things. The past week and a half has been a but busy though, surprisingly! I saw Why? in Tallahassee and have discovered a new band that I thoroughly enjoy, AU.

I worked in drive-through by myself today for the first time during the day and not right before we're closing. ..Pretty exciting. Hah! Oh and I've decided that anyone with cottage cheese arms should NOT wear tank-tops. Gross factor = 79.

I really wish I had more to write about, but that's about all that goes on in my life. Oh, Hurrican Ida is supposed to hit here tomorrow or Tuesday and I still have to go to school. Yippee. Whatever, at least I'll get signed up for my classes next semester.

Happy Halloween errbody!

Currently listening to : The Submarines - Brighter Discontent

Despite not going to Atlanta like I had hoped to, today doesn't seem to be going too badly. LuLu's for lunch, getting my nails done and going shopping seem like a good way to turn something around! Plus, last night I got a 2$ bill at work, so that's pretty exciting!

Oh, and since Caitlin seems to be the only person who randomly looks at my blog that I never write in, I figured she'd like this :
A Nintendo themed Rubik's Cube!


Well, off to get my nails done!

::EDIT::

I went on a haunted lighthouse tour tonight, and I'd have to say that it was extremely entertaining! I think I might start volunteering at the Pensacola Lighthouse. It seems like it would be a lot of fun!

Talk about extreme laziness.

Currently listening to : The Spill Canvas - 3685

Yesterday, I spent more than 3/4 of my day in my bed, and I'm not even exaggerating! It was the ultimate lazy day.

My birthday was last Friday! I'm not the Big 2-0! (Aka, The Worst Age To Be!) In my opinion, turning 20 is a total and complete tease. I can't do anything! Which could probably explain why I laid in my bed almost all day yesterday. Anyway, a few friends and I decided we wanted to go to a hookah bar and when we got there it was closed. You can imagine my disappointment, it being my birthday and first hookah experience, as we turned around and went home to drink away our sadness. I would still say that I had a good birthday, despite that experience and the rain! I like just surrounding myself with good people.

Now, I need to get to writing a paper that's due tomorrow. Hooray for procrastination!

RIP King Aiden

Currently listening to : Brand New - Sowing Season

Yesterday was a horrible day. I had to work a double, and on my break, I had to bury my hamster, Aiden. I didn't think I'd ever become so attached to a hamster, but I did. And I cried. It was probably one of the saddest days I've had in a very long time.

Today is a blah day

Currently listening to : The Expendables - Let Her Go


Everything and everyone is getting on my nerves today. I hate it when people guilt trip me in order to get me to do something. I don't feel good, I'm tired, I have no money to even do anything and I just want to go to sleep.

I'm trying to bring myself to start working on my Psychology paper though, and so far, I've had no luck. Watching The Office just seems so much more important and entertaining to me than doing any sort of school related work. Maybe after a nap, I'll consider working on it.

Since I have to work a double tomorrow, if I don't get off early, I may go see Zombieland Saturday before work. Hopefully I won't have to wait until Monday to see it! I'd be very unhappy if that were the case. BUT, since I have to work a double tomorrow, I'm going to watch a little more TV, then go to sleep.

Who needs it?!

Currently listening to : Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

I need to learn how to study. I would greatly benefit from that. It's just that I get sidetracked too easily and too often to get anything done. Studying biology isn't interesting to me. As a matter of fact, it actually almost bores me to tears. Never in my entire life have I ever been the least bit interested in biology. EVER. And I never will. Which makes it that much harder to make myself sit down and study for some exam tomorrow that the majority of the material on the exam won't be from what I studied.

So I do believe that instead of studying, I will watch The Office. That seems like time much more well spent.


Oh, and I've decided that it is ridiculous how attractive Ryan Reynolds is.. just in case any of you were unaware.

9 months?!

Currently listening to : In the Barrel Of A Gun - Emily Wells

Woah, I've been slacking on the blogging business. Whatevz though, it's not like I have anything important going on or anything important to say.

Next week is going to be so busy. Well, sort of. My dad's birthday is Monday, then Tuesday through Sunday I get to house / dog sit! [:

I don't think I can wait until June 2010.. Like, seriously. That's over 9 months that I have to wait for Season 3 of True Blood to start! And 9 months is way too long. However, it's only 6 months until Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland comes out. Still, that just seems so far away.


All I do is ramble about stupid, useless shit in this thing. No good.

Quit being so fucking selfish.

New addition!

Currently listening to : Claustrophobe - Katie Todd

I am officially the aunt of an 8.5 pound, 20 inch, perfect baby boy! Being woken at 6:30 am was completely worth it.

My mom and I were comparing my brother's baby photos to Little J.D.'s photos and they look almost identical. It's actually quite ridiculous how much alike they look.

See, I knew today had to be better than yesterday! I became an aunt, I ate Moe's (favorite fast food place, ever), I got a pair of Gianni Bini heels on sale for < $30! (Way to go bargain-shopper Katie!) Oh, and I got my tire fixed and power steering fluid in my car. I'm so glad today was a good day.. I couldn't have handled two bad days in a row. I have a plan for tomorrow, and it involves getting up early and spending some time at the hospital. So, goodnight!


-Aunt Katie

"It's been one of those days, huh?"

Currently listening to: Moving In You, Moving In Me - The District

I don't even know how to explain today except for it being one of those days. I woke up today with a gut feeling and a missed call from my best friend, having only been asleep for about 4 hours. *This girl right here needs AT LEAST 10 hours to function properly.* There's nothing really that you can do when you have one of those feelings, so I just tried to go about my morning as normally as I could. Then I forgot my jacket. Just great. My classes are subzero temperature and I didn't know what to do. Luckily I had to run something by Nicole's and she let me borrow a jacket.

Once at school, it was just a typical morning. Typical levels of creepiness. Whatev. It didn't get weird until class was over and I was waiting with a friend of mine for our other friend to get out of class. My friend got his head pet and told "it's payback for writing that song about me in fourth grade..!" WHAT?! We then proceeded to run around the school to get away from the creepiness. I felt like such a secret agent. Easily, that was the coolest / strangest thing that happened to me today.

Anyway, after class was out, I was supposed to call my dad and see where he was because I was supposed to go out on the boat with him this afternoon. Well, since it's been one of those days, I'm sure you can conclude that I didn't go on the boat. By the time I had gotten home, they were done fishing and almost home, themselves. I still decided I wanted to visit with my dad today, so I went over to his house and ate dinner and brownies and watched Millionaire.

Here's where things turn bad. And I mean B.A.D. I was on my way home, and all of a sudden my car seemed really hard to steer. So I thought "hm, maybe I should be more careful. Atleast I'm almost home." As I'm coming around a curve in the road, I hear a really strange noise and I decided to stop at the nearest gas station. Turns out, my front left tire was completely flat. So I pull up the the air thing to put air in it... There was a HUGE hole in my tire. It took my mom, myself and the manager at the gas station over an hour to get my tire off and get my spare one on.

Now I'm home and hopefully I can get to sleep before 3 o'clock in the morning. I just really wish I could watch the new episode of Weeds. Whatever! Tomorrow, I have to get up early and take my car to go get a new tire and then Nicole and I are going tanning! I have very high hopes for tomorrow being a better day.

In other news, there is no news. I have been more boring than usual. I bought new pants and ate at Moe's. That about sums it up. If I had the money, I would BUY MYSELF A LIFE, 'cause we all know I need one.

OH OH OH ! I recently found out that Universal Studios is adding a new attraction to the Islands of Adventure Theme Park!! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You can bet on me being there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

Currently listening to : In the Barrel Of a Gun - Emily Wells

Today would be my favorite mother in the whole entire world's birthday. I can't wait for her to get home so we can go to the Oyster Bar and eat [:

Yesterday was the most fun and adventure I've had in a long time! After school (which only consisted of about half of a class because my Psych teacher let us out early and my Bio teacher wasn't there... again!) Britton and I went to lunch at Hip Pocket Deli. That was the best lunch I've had in forever! Now that we had energy, out adventure began! I got my check from work and we headed towards the mall, where we were there for maybe 5 minutes and Britton saw about 10 people he knew! We walked around aimlessly for about 2 hours, in which time we went to the pet store. The rabbits in there were on crack or something? Because everytime I touched the albino one, he FREAKED out. No exaggeration. He would start sprint hopping around the rabbit cage, jumping on others in the process. I was laughing so hard at the albino rabbit, that I started CRYING and I had to walk away. I could't stop! After we left the mall, we went to Barnes & Noble and sat in Starbucks and talked with Nathan for over an hour. Then we headed over to Petland to look at animals! [: We were looking at the chameleons and the guy came over and asked me if I wanted to hold one! WHAT DO YOU THINK?!? So I was holding him and he got really happy and changed to match the yellow-y green of my shirt! We named him Nugget and I want to get him so bad! That was definitely the highlight of my week. Needless to say, I hope Britton and I have more lunch dates!

Sexgod boyfriend, please?

Oddly enough, that is all I have to say tonight. It's been a very boring night for me and for some reason, I have just been in a really pissy mood. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.. FULL OF WORKING A DOUBLE. So tomorrow may not be much better. Maybe I'll go see Taking Woodstock tomorrow if I get off at a decent time. I'm crossing my fingers.


-Katie

Seriously?!

Currently listening to : Aiden running in his wheel and King Of the Hill

Seriously MLIA?! REALLY?! The average word of the day has been "brown" for what seems like 3 days in a row. I am not really sure why this is bothering me so much, but it is. Oh well.
"Today I accidentally walked into the closet at school instead of opening the door to get out. My teacher said "Narnia's the next classroom over." I think I love my school. MLIA"

A recap of my night:
- At work, my eyes felt like they were going to burn out of my head due to all the BBQ smoke they were seeing. I felt as if I had just walked into a burning building with nothing covering my eyes. It was horrible. They're still a bit itchy and burn-y.
- I love that pretty much the entire time I'm on the phone with my best friend, we're arguing about something or are in some sort of "fight" and yet, I still want to keep talking to him. Tonight was a very argumentative night, just to let you know. Apparently women are only good for doing laundry and cooking. HA! You know, typical conversation.
- My mom did some strange dance in her t-shirt and underwear to "Message In A Bottle" before going back to her room and going to bed tonight. She's most definitely one of my three favorite people. I'm so glad she's MY mom [:
- I drank my weight in kool-aid, then got extremely lazy and innovative at the same time. I put my robe on and tied the tie thing really tight, then I put my cup in it, so it just kind of sat there and then I put the straw right in my face so I could take a sip whenever I wanted and I didn't have to hold it or exert any sort of effort.
All in all, I'd say it was a pretty good night, minus my eyes being in their own personal fire pit.

I've recently decided that I'm going to re-watch season 5 of Grey's Anatomy. I got half-way through it, then stopped watching it for some reason. I'm thinking that will begin either tomorrow before I go to work or Monday when I get home from school, because I probably won't be doing much else with my time. Unless LITTLE BABY BOY comes within now and Monday.. In which case, I'd put off my Grey's Anatomy marathon!

Today I had probably the worst migrane known to mankind, so I'm gonna go try to sleep it off. Goodnight blog world, who isn't reading this.

Go away, numb thumb.

Currently listening to : Tiny Dancer - Elton John

I hate being a perfectionist sometimes. I rewrote my Biology notes, then I decided I wanted to get a new spiral notebook because the one I had was torn a little bit.. so I RE rewrote them into the new notebook. I also bought a notebook for my Psychology notes so I wasn't keeping them both in the same notebook. I rewrote my Psychology notes as well. In addition to all of that, I, for some absurd reason, thought it'd be a good idea to go ahead and start making flashcards. BAD idea. 7 chapters of vocabulary in, and I can no longer feel my thumb. Woo.

If I'm not at school, I'm working. I went from doing nothing at all to seeming like I never have a minute to myself.. all in a matter of 2 weeks. But on a lighter note, my dad is getting my new laptop soon [: And even sooner than that, my nephew will be here! :D I love my best friend so so much! She's letting me borrow her film camera so I can take pictures of my brother and his new little family. I'm so excited! I just hope I'm there to capture the moment they place that little baby in his arms! And then in my arms. I know I'm going to cry! I'm getting all teary-eyed and overjoyed just thinking about it!

I'm hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow. I want to layout a little bit before I have to go into work. I'm looking rather pale and disgusting. In other news, Robby has recently gotten Xbox Live, which means mass confusion when I'm talking to him because I don't know if he's talking to me or if he's talking to the people on his game. I never really understood the point of "talking shit" to other people while playing a video game.. but maybe it's just a guy thing. That, oddly enough, reminds me that I want a good book to read. If anyone (not that anyone reads this [:) has any suggestions on good books, I'd appreciate it very much!

It's so early, but I'm exhausted from the day, so goodnight all (that don't read this!).


-Katie

I could get used to this!

Currently listening to : My dog snoring

If school is anything like my first day, then I could get very used to it! My psych teacher is pretty cool and my biology teacher didn't even show up! All I had to do was sign in and I got to leave! Pretty cool, if you ask me.

It's definitely nap time, then lunch with Nicole later!

Currently listening to : Sex On the Beach - 3Oh!3

I just got done watching the latest Real World Cancun... and I'm on fucking fire! I've decided I hate Jonna now. I'm so glad my friends aren't like that cuntwad! Jeeze, I know it's not my life or has anything to do with it, but that just makes me SO mad. I would never do that to anyone. I've had that done to me before. Needless to say, I hacked one person off my list of people I considered a "friend," but I guess bitches will be bitches. That's why I can't stand the majority of females. Most of them have no sense of morals or respect for other people.

UGH. Hopefully catching up on some Weeds will cheer me up!

Best friends, come home, please.

Currently listening to : Amber - 311

Yesterday, I went to visit my grandma! [: She is so funny, I love her a lot. She called up to work and asked me what I wanted for lunch and she suggested pizza and I said that would be alright, then she kept on naming off options! Once I got to her house, we talked forever until I had to leave to go back to work.

That seems to be where all of my time has been going.. this past week, at least. Tonight, I got to work the drive-thru which was probably the scariest thing I've had to do in a while! But I made like $6-$8 -ish dollars in tips!

Nicole comes home Saturday after being gone for way too long! I'm glad I've been working, so I wasn't completely bored out of my mind while she was gone. Now I just wish Robby would come home. Then everything would be perfect!

I'm guess I'm gonna call it a night. I have to be up at 9 and be at work by 10:45.


-Katie

I'm exhausted.

Currently listening to : Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

Today was my second day of work and for some reason, when I got home, I couldn't even keep my eyes open! I wasn't home probably 20 minutes and I was passed out.

One week from tomorrow I start college! I'm so excited!

Last night, my mom's friend came over to go fishing and she brought her 5 year-old daughter, 6 year-old step daughter, and her step son. The two girls were the cutest! They came inside and hung out with my mom and I and jumped on the little exercise trampoline we have. They wanted to see Aiden, so I took him out and put him in his ball and they wound up putting him on the little trampoline and letting him run around in circles on it, but one of them spun his ball and he peed! THEY SCARED THE PISS OUT OF HIM! Poor little guy! I put him up after that so he could recover from his massive headache. After that, I put in Coraline for them and they laid down and almost passed out! They were the cutest little girls ever. But sheese, I'm so scared to have kids! I can barely take care of myself, I don't know how I'm going to be able to take care of someone else! Maybe Little John David getting here will help me with that.. and it's only like a month away at the most! I'm so excited for that too!

I think it's time to go back to sleep again!

It's an early Friday.

Currently listening to : Summer Skin - Death Cab For Cutie

I start my new job tomorrow! So I'm being responsible tonight and not going out.. not that I had something to do anyway. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think I've been out on a Friday night in weeks.
My mom and I just got done watching Coraline. That's a pretty weird movie, if you ask me. But I guess all Tim Burton movies are. Speaking of Tim Burton, who's excited for the new Alice In Wonderland?!! THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE! March 2010 is way too far away.

Since I'm on the subject of movies, there's a couple of movies I can't wait for..
- Taking Woodstock (August 28)
- Gamer (September 04)
- 9 (September 09)
- Zombieland (October 09) <-- MY BIRTHDAY! :D
- Where the Wild Things Are (October 16)
- 2012 (November 13)
- New Moon (November 20)
- The Blind Side (November 20)
I do believe those are all the movies I plan on seeing in the next few months.

I've been searching the internet, trying to find a site that has "Cherrybomb" on it that I can watch, but I haven't been able to find it and I'm getting very annoyed by that. I know no one reads my blog, but if you're reading this and you know where I can watch "Cherrybomb," please let me know! You would become my new best friend!


Hm, well I guess I'm going to wait for Robby to call me back, then I'm headed to bed! I've got to be up early so I can get to my first day of work!

-Katie

I want one!

Currently listening to : Good Friday - Why?



I've come to the conclusion that this is the cutest animal on the entire plant! One day I WILL own one and it will basically be attached to me and never leave my side.




Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to Atlanta towards the end of October. Why? is playing and I'm more than excited. I've never been to Atlanta on my own and for any period of time. I think I've stopped there twice before for lunch on family road-trips. Hopefully it will be a shopping extravaganza and all around fun time!

Meteor showers and hamsters.

Currently listening to : At The Bottom Of Everything - Bright Eyes

I love this song. It reminds me of best friend whom I miss very very much. Half-way around the world is way too far for him to be!


Last night I was going to stay up to watch the meteor shower, (Yes, again. I'm obsessed with it, because I've never seen one before!) so I put in Ironman to pass the time.. And what do ya know?! I FELL ASLEEP! The sky was so clear last night! Oh well, there's always next time!

Update on the job status, CHECK! They called me yesterday and I start Saturday morning! I'm so excited to actually have a job again and have money coming in! Maybe I'll even be able to go out and do things now!

I woke up this afternoon around 12:30 and oddly enough Aiden, my hamster was awake too. I loved seeing his little face when I first woke up [: He is currently rolling around in his ball, bumping into things! I do believe my dog is now scared of him because he is a fearless roller and rolls into her if she's in his way. He's the cutest!


"Today, I sneaked out during work to lie on the sidewalk in front of my office building in order to watch the meteor shower. Twenty minutes later, half of my office is lying next to me. I consider our night highly productive. MLIA"

Obsessed, I tell you. I will see one soon and when that happens, I think my obsession will be over. But until then...

Oh, how I hate Florida weather.

Currently listening to : Braille - Regina Spektor

There is supposed to be a meteor shower tonight! Well, this morning! And guess what?! I can see nothing! The sky is cloudy and muggy and I am very upset. I have never seen a meteor shower before and I was super excited when I found out about it but because Florida has the most stupid weather in all of the entire world, me not having ever seen a meteor shower will continue.

Maybe I will go sit outside anyway.. in hopes that the weather will get better and I'll be able to see it! That sounds like a good idea to me.

I love realizing that someone somewhere in the world is looking at the same thing I am. Like a meteor shower or the ocean or the full moon at night. It's a nice thought.

Well, off to sit outside! [:

-Katie



EDIT :
The meteor shower was a fail. ]: The weather cleared up a bit, but I only saw 2 meteors in almost an hour and that doesn't sound right to me. Oh well, maybe next time meteor shower, maybe next time.

I am a lady from Mars

And I can unscrew the stars.


Today was one of the only times I've left my house in about a week.. but only because I had important things to do!
- Job interview, check. I do hope I get it!
- Get books for school, semi-check. Hopefully they'll be in when I go up there in a few days.
It's official though, and I haven't even started school yet, I hate the one I attend. I had to ask ONE question that took maybe 30 seconds and I had to wait over an hour. That's just complete madness. But once I do start, atleast I won't be stuck at my house with nothing to do everyday! .. Just 5 days of the week instead of 7!

However, with all that time and nothing to do, I have made a few new favorite sources of entertainment. Ingrid Michaelson has become my new favorite musical artist. I've become fascinated with Banksy's artwork. Another UK talent I've come across is Beardyman. He's a beatboxer from London and he's very entertaining to watch / listen to.

Blogging world, here I come.

I'm thinking this may take a little while to get used to, but as of right now, I've got plenty of time on my hands. So, I'll see how this works out!


I think my sensors are completely off.. When I'm freezing, I feel like I'm burning up. Or maybe I'm just getting sick. I have also noticed that vh1 plays very strange music videos during Nocturnal State. And with that, I'm off to bed.
