"Hey Kayla, how did your exam go on friday?"
"Great. They made me president of biology".

Can you feel my heart beat in this world?

Every time I feel the vibrations and hear the slam of the door closing downstairs, my heart jumps into my throat. Which isn't the bad part, really. The bad part is the feeling of my heart sliding slowly back down my throat, and settling in the bottom of my stomach when I hear the sound of feet go up the stairs, or down the hall, and fade away.

You think that luck has left you there
But maybe there's nothing
Up in the sky but air

And there's no mystical design
No cosmic lover preassigned
There's nothing you can find
That cannot be found
'cause, with all the changes you've been through
It seems the stranger's always you
Alone again in some new
Wicked little town

So when you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise
Of this wicked little town
Oh, it's a wicked little town

Hmm. I seem to be unable to sleep. Which is very strange for me, as I usually fall asleep at the drop of a hat. Or less. I think I am worried. I think I need to calm down. I think I need to stop shaking.

...I think I need to stop thinking (that's your cue, sleep) :/

Also, there is a giant, angry-looking robot staring at me from my room. And some guy on the street keeps yelling about the power lines. Something to do with the internet being inside them?

In other news: My dad went in for surgery yesterday, to have the metal he had in his face rebuilt. They cut along inside the top of his upper lip, so his face could be pulled back, to allow the surgeon to get at the metal. The problem once they did this though is that they couldn't reach the screws at the very top of the plates, so they ended up cutting underneath both his eyes, and pulling the skin down. He's doing alright, but he sounds so very down. His face is so swollen and sore, and his eyes are both black all around. Which is to be expected, just kinda hard. I hate when my dad is in pain like this, and unhappy ;_;

I have a job! I start Tuesday! (orientation at 4:00 tuesday, in case I lose the paper that's written on xD )

And tonight is the sexy party! I just finished washing a small mountain of dishes, and now I must go shower and whatnot.

We have a good crowd of people invited, and everything is all cleaned and set up. Aaaaand my crush is supposed to stop by, and i'm most excited. I haven't felt all blushy and so shy around someone is so long, I forgot how much I enjoy crushes :3

I hope tonight is fun! Off to set up some tunes (or tunskies, as my Dad would say)

<3

We sailed away on a winter's day
with fate as malleable as clay;
but ships are fallible, I say,
and the nautical, like all things, fades

you walk like a zombie
you talk like a zombie
it's not in your head
you're a living dead
whatever you're gonna do
you're gonna make me cry

you walk like a zombie
(you make me wanna cry)
you talk like a zombie
it's not in your head
you're a living dead
whatever you're gonna do
you're gonna make me cry

and you wanna hold hands
in the cemetery
and you wanna be lost
for all eternity
and everything is dark
and kind of scary
and you crave the full moon
but I don't care
and you want a mountaintop
with a little castle
and you wanna name our kids
Morticia and Fester
and all the flowers you bring
are always dead
and you howl at the moon
but I don't care

six feet under
you make me wonder
you wanna be undead
so you can be hunted
whatever you're gonna do
I'm gonna follow you

six feet under
(you make me wanna follow you)
you make me wonder
you wanna be undead
so you can be hunted
whatever you're gonna do
I'm gonna follow you

P.S.- I want to write angry letters under a bare bulb to the government about how they should pass a law making it legal for best friends to take defensive (and understandably aggressive) actions towards best friends boyfriends. I'm talking painful and public displays, to teach the unthoughtful, ungrateful, undeserving fracking boyfriends of this country (and others) a lesson.

I've just returned from my first time seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show live, and it was amazing. Such a great show, and I hope I get to see it live again. And again. And definitely again.


So come up to the lab. And see what's on the slab.
I see you shiver with antici... pation!
But maybe the rain isn't really to blame
So I'll remove the cause, but not the symptom

<3

should I, or shouldn't I?

I think I should.

In the hopes of using this more, Katie's Livejournal is now a place for fun, cute, amusing things!

Like this!

"There once was a man from down under,
who tore my poor hamster asunder.
He made a keen stew
out of wee you-know-who,
but should i've asked for seconds, I wonder?"

<3 Buttercup Festival

I am going to go watch Moulin Rouge, and eat fries with Kayla until I have to shower. It is going to be grand.

<3

Dear Kayla,

I have a horrible, horrible confession to make, and you may never forgive me for it. Kelly and I...we...we were studying and...we went to Second Cup, and got Vanilla bean hot chocolates.

I'm drinking it right now. It's quite delicious.

...i'll still be here if you ever forgive me.

~Katie

ps-It's really cold outside.

It is snowing outside! And the ground is covered in beautiful, gorgeous white! And it will be gone by morning. But it's there now, I promise! The *first* snowfall of the season :3

I am going to sleep happy now.

Dear Kayla:

Wherever you are right now (it's 10:03 for the record :P), I hope that you are having a good time. And I hope I see you soon. Because I miss you. And you said we'd watch a movie tonight. And i'm hungry :3

<3

And also, to tribute the end of midterms, my favorite Kayla quote of the week:

"WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR TRAPEZIUS?!?!?!"

I chased a little birdie on the way home today! Heehee he was cute :3

Oh Oh! I got three DS games in the mail today from Minh! I was so excited, i've never had to sign for a package before, it was awesome!! Haha and the games all look so good, i'm going to play them tonight instead of doing my...not homework...

So today in class was our first needle-related experience...and I didn't die!(or kill anyone, but i'm not as concerned with that) We checked each others blood sugar levels! Haha and I hate needles so much, it took poor Kayla over ten minutes to convince me to let her do it. She is going to be an *awesome* nurse. For reals. And very experienced in dealing with difficult patients, as i'm always going to be her partner! :D

I'm finally having my gastroscopy done tomorrow, and i'm shakin' in me boots. I'm soooo scared to have it done.

I DON'T WANT MORE NEEDLES!

kthxbye.

Today was a really good day!

I got back marks from my first two midterms, I got a B in bio, which I was really really worried about. I'm SO happy with a B, I never thought i'd do that well! (Look at an anatomy text book...it's scary) And then I got back my Nursing 1032 test and I got an A! Waaaaay better than I thought I did! So on the academic front, doing quite well!

Then Kayla and I had a nap. And it was amazing ^_^ (except I kept dreaming that I was playing gameboy, and then thinking to myself, 'Katie, stop playing gameboy, you want to nap!', so then i'd put down the gameboy and wake up! And that kept happening over and over again!)

Then after bio lab, Kayla and I had dinner, and I had my CPR class at 6:00. Hehe I was so nervous to take it I got sick and threw up, but it was such a breeze once it got started, and I actually had some fun! Haha he had our certificate's all done up before we even wrote our test, so I wasn't nervous! :p

And now I have a four-day weekend!!!

Tomorrow Kayla and I are having a Buffy marathon! We're watching Buffy all day, eating pigs in a blanket (a new favorite yummy treat I love!), and making nacho dip, and wearing pajama's only, and playing DDR! It's going to be an awesome girly day/night!

Oh!Oh! And the market saturday morning for samosas!

<3

I'm going to go to bed now, and cuddle with the cats. And not get up until noon tomorrow ^____^

"My naked suit is SMOKIN'!!!"

I love Kayla.

I know I should have been doing my homework, but I couldn't help it; I just watched the last episode of the fifth season of Buffy...

...I think I died a little...it is SO SAD!!! But so good...and her headstone was so sad! "She saved the world. A lot."

Ok, i'm done geeking out now.

I'm going to "do my homework now". That may also mean fall alseep with the cats on the pile of blankets on my floor. I'm not sure.

Nanight~

So, school is going very well! I am really enjoying the Nursing program so far, and German is so much fun! (so much better than french, waaaay more fun, way more pretty boys in our class :D )

Thanksgiving weekend is coming up! I'm really excited, Kayla and I are going to make dinner here, and if we don't burn down the house, it's going to be amazing! Everyone is welcome to come, so if you don't have a place to go for thanksgiving, you should come here, 955 Union Street! We will feed you, and it might even be good!

In other news, Kayla and I are trying for the market again this weekend. I may have overslept last weekend...and maybe the weekend before that. Maybe. But this is the weekend, I can feel it!

~Katie

ps-A million thanks to Kayla for making my journal pretty! I <3 you good.
