Hey, look, I'm alive!

I have decided that the best way to resolve voting on strick party lines is to rename all the parties and eliminate all current party members so people have to learn to think for themselves...

What happened to Dick Cheney? And why is this bothering me on this chilly Friday evening in November? Probably because I expect some "terrorist breakthrough" tomorrow or the day after to make Bush look awesome. Bother.

Everyone calls me Kate here at Bryn Mawr.. I feel so grown up now.

Buuuuut I think I'm going to be transferring to Skidmore next year so I can pursue art and business and whatnot. Hooray!

I'm going home for the weekend, and I've noticed a few more things about myself... Since I'm still reluctant to let go of home I'm hindering my friend-making process. I'm really good at getting people to like me, but I haven't followed through since I got here. Am I THAT resistant to move on with my new life? I was going to stay home the entire weekend, but I think I'll come back here on Saturday afternoon so I can make some friends for real.. not just extend a fan club for my fashion sense. Maybe I should get involved in stuff here? I'm just so uncomfortable. It's like an itch. Ahh... I want to start up a costume thing here, do some yoga classes, and maybe get involved in some intramural sports (esp badminton).

with that out of my system, I think I'll do some homework and sign up for some clubs. :]

More self realizations

I think I'm getting to know myself better, thanks to all this tumultuous change.

My move in was pretty smooth, but rather sad. (So long, sweet summer!) It's very rainy up here now... lots of mud. Lots of photo ops. Lots of crazy, enthused, and rowdy women. Lots of chocolate. Lots of apple laptops...

It's pronounced bryn mAWR

I'm off to college tomorrow. Err, actually, today. I discovered that I do not have nearly enough luggage to carry all my stuff to Philadelphia, so I've resorted to trash bags. Wish me luck!

so confusing

Someone I don't know took a video of me laughing at Otakon. They really are watching me..!

Experience the magic.

Otakon. :B

Otakon was A-maaaaazing!

More laterr.

Stop suffocating, Kate.

I am going to go insane without him.

College is a dark prospect to me... I really don't want to go. Things are awesome as they are now, I feel like BMC is not where I want to be. I kinda got stuck there. If I knew where I wanted to trampoline from BMC I would be okay with all this. But in all seriousness, I have no idea what I want to do. If my dilemma was a conflict of interest between biology and, say, physics, it would much easier than dealing with passions for biology/science and design. I mean, Godeffingdamn. My ideal job would be either doing extreme surgeries on people's brains or coming up with design campaigns for Absolut. OR starting my own fashion powerhouse like Tommy or Donna. I just... don't know. This is one of those times where I've started to get too concerned as to where I'm going. I have to let go again. Things always work out best when I let intuition and God guide me. This is such a Fight Club moment. Just let go.

I'm not sure if this anxiety I'm feeling at the moment is purely pre-separation anxiety or a genuine bad, intuitive feeling.

Cam and I made breakfast this morning--banana pancakes, but didn't eat much of it as a result of the fuzzy mold growing on the maple syrup. It was pretty scary.

I had fondue today with Simone and Jess (both friends and future Bryn Mawr ladies)! I really liked poking vegetables with sticks. Cheese is always nice too.

Ack, I'm going to sleep now so I can wake up early to fall asleep again. :]

I feel better now.

Save a horse..

Eeee, so much is going on.

I had sushi again today. I think I'm being spoiled. :]

I learned something new about guys in general today: they feel threatened by cars that are bigger/faster/more pimped out than their own. This doesn't go for all guys of course, but it is very common... For instance! Ryan has a big truck. Ryan loves his big truck. Ryan sees cute, speedy sports car. Ryan catches up to cute speedy sports car and decides to tailgate said car. Ryan jeers at the state of the sports car, though it is obviously much more cute and speedy than his truck. Ryan passes cute speedy sports car.

Men are such a mystery.

Then again, so are women. They get mad at you for no reason and then when you tell them they don't have a reason they insist they do. But they just won't tell you why. *sigh*

I don't really know why people insist upon being so stupid, thick, and complex.

In other news: Cam is leaving for several days to go to a wedding in Rochester/Michigan/someplace up there, which has me seriously bummed out. This is great news for all my friends though, because I'll actually pay attention to them now. Hah!
In other other news: Otakon is creeping up on me veryvery swiftly and I'm not even halfway done my costume. Oi. Thursday is going to be fun.
In other other other news: Hot weather turns me insane. No joke. I actually willingly popped a country CD into my friend's stereo today. I'll blame it on the heat wave.

I'm out of the loop of life. I've been concentrating so heavily on what's right in front of me that I've pretty much ignored anyone/anything who hasn't made valiant attempts to get back into my world. Sorry, you guys, I'll do better!

I'm going to a Peaches concert tonight. Yes, that raunchy, disease-ridden dynamo (what a great word). Watch for scary flying panties. :o

That is all. I'm feeling ADHD.

And all that is now...

Maaan, have I been busy. In the past week I've:

-climbed two ridiculously tall satellite dishes to take pictures
-saw an Orioles game in a front row seat. oh, and we made Texas Toast out of the Rangers.
-developed a new love for jacuzzis
-ate Caesar salad with chopsticks
-encountered people doing the hallucinogenic mushroom thing for the first time... ironically, while wearing a shirt with many mushrooms on it
-went to get sushi at XS at 11 PM (like eccentric young millionaires) in a cocktail dress.. and my date in a suit and tie and fluffy thing
-broke into Cam's car and house using nothing but a coat hanger and two screwdrivers.. and a credit card, respectively.
-made someone hate me
-found an amazing boyfriend.:D

Oh, and I finally registered for Otakon. I'm (hopefully) making two costumes: Rainbow Brite and Princess Ai... both of which should look A-MAZING. That is, if I have time to finish both.

Do you ever get dizzy when you look into someone's eyes? Yeah, it's pretty intense.

Simone got me a baby sunflower today (it's so gorgeous and cheerful). Here's the damage: bubble tea, cookies, vegetarian Chinese food, and icecream (with rainbow sprinkles!). Seriously. We did the shopping thing and saw the most beautiful movie: Water. I would recommend it to anyone who has a soul. Ah, Simone, I loooove her.
