Keep it Simple

And the youngest returns

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:04:03 GMT

What hasn't happened since the last time I was on here... geez.

Mom and Dad separated and sold the house, I moved out and am being forced to grow up (how sad!)
Mom moved to Berkeley and dad is moving around the West Coast being a vagabond, but he's having fun... and he bought a house up in Washington.
Brandon and I broke up, he was unhappy with the decision, but he is finding solace in the beds of others.
Both of my cats are gone, Max ran away and Rex was hit by a car, but now I have Charlie (as in Chaplin) who keeps me on my toes with his endless kitten antics.
I live in Huntington Beach where I rent a room from a family who grow Plumeria in the back yard, the house smells like wet towels, one of the guys has an amazing comb-over, and I'm happy.
I still work at Starbucks, but I transferred to one back in Costa Mesa (I was at one in Fountain Valley for about a year) and I like it because the store hours are freakin' rad.
I am taking Chem, Film, Psych and Italian this semester... I'm doing well in two of them and not so well in the other two, oh well.
My major has changed for the bajillionth time because it turns out I don't like math (who knew?) so I'm going from pre-med to International Relations with a hopeful minor in Linguistics.
Next summer the GlamFam and I are going to Italy, then my buddy Nicole and I are heading on a side adventure through the rest of western Europe. Should be good times.
A guy on the internet told me that I'm not ready to be in a relationship at this point in my life... and I believe him. Kudos to you internet man.
I'm spending Thanksgiving in Orange County and Christmas up in Berkeley, so that should be interesting.
May 2008 I am moving to Washington to live in my dad's house with my sister, brother-in-law and my niece.
I went to Napa this past weekend and found out just what a wine headache feels like.
Hawaii was rad back in June, it was the first time I have ever been and I had a blast going on pub crawls, ATVing through the jungle and tanning on the beach.
Everything in my life has flipped and turned upside down, I don't much enjoy being an adult to be honest, but it happens, so oh well.

Um, I think that's it for the updates on the life and times of KDK.
Oh, and I bought a car, it's a convertible.
Are you excited for me or what?
haha
the Maverick is still with me though too, because I love that car!
gah.
unfortunately, they're both just money pits.
Neat money pits, but money pits all the same.

Okay, I'm off to hang out in a waiting room while my dad gets an MRI because he's afraid they're going to leave him in there.
riiiight.
otay.
byeeee.

Babooshka!

Oookay, so it has definitely been a while since I've been on LJ.
Myspace pretty much consumes my time, and I've recently been sitting around on facebook as well (since those are the two that the boyfriend is on).
But then something happened today.
Mandy (kest) added me as a friend on myspace and I was reminded of LiveJournal since she was the one that gave me the code for my free LiveJoural (yay for not paying!)

Anyhoo.

Things have been interesting in my life.
The last terrible thing to happen was that my cat died, he was hit by a car and while I was in Missouri someone responded to my missing cat poster and told me that he wasn't missing at all. He had dragged himself to the curb after being hit and then died on the side of the road. *sigh* He was pretty much the coolest cat ever. And I loved him a lot. He did everything with me and has been through a lot with me.
Then there's the thing about my friend Ashley having and Aneurysm, which the doctor's thankfully caught before it burst and caused any long term damage. But she had to have brain surgery where they took two feet of vein from her left leg and replaced the bad artery in her brain and neck with the vein. Now she's at home recovering from the surgery, and trying to get well as soon as possible. Everyone is calling her the miracle child because most people never know they have an aneurysm until it is too late and the damage is done. She is nineteen years old.

Ew.

On a happier note, the boyfriend and I are doing very well. I love him with all of my heart and he has made me realize that I just *wanted* to be in love with the other people I have been with but never truly felt it. Almost like I made myself fall in love when it wasn't actually what I was feeling. I love him though, so that's rad.
I like it.
Although it's pretty retarded that he lives so far away.
laaaaaaaaaame.
ah well.

ummmm, so that's it for now.
I just had a hamburger and it's time to nap and then go work out until some wee hours of the morning (I haven't worked out in a LOOOOONG time and it has been longer since I have eaten a burger)

Okay.
I am done.

I like him as much as the distance between us.

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 04:24:23 GMT

Okay, life is crazy again.
I was in Florida the past week and a half.
The guy that I go there to see asked me if I would be his girlfriend.
I said yes.

shut up.
all of you.
let me speak.

I think this is good for me.
This "long distance relationship"
because I've noticed that when the men I enjoy are close by
other things in my life suffer
things like: school. work. friends.
important things.

So I have found a guy (well, I found him Freshman year of high school, but we only recently--within the last three months-- reunited in person), who is far enough away that I can focus on my goals, but is able to fly out and see me often.

Hopefully this will work out.
I don't know if anyone else has felt this before, but I didn't start out lusting after this particular man. Instead, I was in it for the friendship (since we've been acquaintances/friends for the past seven years), and I feel a strong connection and attachment to him already. And I'm positive that it's not simply "puppy love" because I, in fact, was not looking for a relationship (after the last one took a nose dive after three months, yet I stuck with it for another year and finally ended it with the word "boyfriend" leaving an awful aftertaste in my mouth).
Never have I felt there was a man that was my equal.
There was always something that made them a level behind me.
And maybe more than just one level.
However, this gentleman, and I do not use that work lightly, is par with my abilities.
In fact, he succeeds me.
I like that.
It's a challenge.

Anyway, it's been a while since I've written.
Currently I work three jobs.
#1: Starbucks- I received a promotion and transferred stores
#2: Lifeguard- at a private pool in Irvine
#3: Swim Instructor- private lessons for kids 3yrs to 12yrs through Dory Aquatics

and beginning in the end of August, I will be starting school (where I will be taking two biology classes, a bio lab, english critical thinking, lame people math, and american social dancing) as well as working as a Shift Supervisor for Starbucks.

My life is hectic.
and I love it.

<3 <3 <3

any questions?

Sat, 01 Apr 2006 01:59:51 GMT

Ooookay... so I'm going up to Washington for Easter, it's official.
I'm also single (woohoo!) I'm done with the guy that never made time for me, and when he did make time for me, would either cancel or just sit around and do nothing.
I'm so over that shiznit.

Anyway, I've started downloading really random videos of myself onto myspace.
I don't know if they will transfer over to LJ, but I'll post a couple of them in this entry just to see.

I promise, they are very, very random.

Sun, 12 Mar 2006 07:09:38 GMT

yeah uh, so I just threw up a lot.
because I'm lame.

anyway, things are going alright.
I'm dropping my Speech class because the teacher is seriously rude.
I wrote a couple letters to the Dean of Literature and Languages and also wrote the counseling office a general letter explaining that I think Mr Lowell Habel sucks ass. I mean, what would make a speech teacher, who is supposed to be teaching us to be comfortable while making our speeches, publically humilate one of the students in their class? What the eff is wrong with that guy?!

The other classes are going well

English: the teacher is amusing and accomplished, two very important things. He said that creative writing might be where it's at for me. We'll see. So far I have an A in the class, so woohoo

History: Oh god, someone kill me now. the teacher is M-O-N-O-T-O-N-E. Ugh. But I have an A in there too so whatever... plus I've got Edwin, Mez and Priscilla to keep me awake, as well as Gilda (who text messages me from her class at UCI).

Math: Boring. Math DUMB aka Math 030. I wish I could be an amazing mathematician up until I complete the graduation requirements, and then who cares. P.S. it's a forum math class so not only is it boring but I'm in close proximity to a freaky guy and a bunch of asians.

Philosophy: Interesting. Lots of writing. I've learned a lot so far, and I've actually been able to put the information to use already! There's a guy names David in the class who's Vietnamese and we hang out on the breaks and make fun of each other, so that's cool. I have an A-ish in the class.

Speech: I'm effin dropping this class. I HATE the teacher. I don't say I hate a lot of things but I HATE this guy. ugh. he's such a jerk.

And work... well, work is work. Ryan and Gilda sent me home early with a small trash can for the ride home and wishes of getting better.
My vomit smells like bow tie pasta.
Yum.

Also, I just watched "Waiting" with Danielle because no one else was nice enough to rent their sick friend a movie, and it was interesting. Not great. Just interesting.

I took a picture of my vomit.
I'm going to post it on myspace.
Just to freak Kelly out.

or maybe I won't.
But I do need to find someone to cover my shift tomorrow.

Katy out.

shhhhh, don't move. it's bad for you...

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 00:34:24 GMT

I just spent a good minute reading over the livejournal home page trying to figure out how to log in.
But I log in everyday... in the same place... upper right hand corner.
Why was it so difficult for me to do it today?!!?

I'm retarded.

Not much is going on.
I'm still with the BF
Still in school
Still working at Starbucks
Caleb is still dying
Life is still going on
Hannah is still pregnant
My mom and dad are still having problems.

Still.

I wish it would all just stand still.

put a smile on your face

I said whatcha gonna do I said whatcha gonna do?

does anyone even remember that song? I think it was by this chick called "Vitamin C"
why would someone call themselved Vitamin c??

I don't understand.

Things have been happening the past couple of days.
I might become a shift lead, I might become fired.. we'll see how that turns out.
I've been hanging out with Kristina, from work, a lot. She seems to be the only one that doesn't have drama following her around.
Also things with Jeremy are on the up side. We're going to Catalina from the 27th afternoon to the 29th afternoon. It's going to be fun. Neither one of us have been there for quite some time.

Anyway, I'll write more later. I have to take a nap, go to the post office, drop by someone's house and then go to work... all of this before 2:45pm.

Think I can do it?!!?

<3

p.s. I have a cold. It was bad yesterday and the day before. It might be getting better. I can't tell.

It's so easy to love him.
But it's so hard to get him to show that he loves me back.

freakin' guy drama.... lameness.

Face Battle only 6.5?!?! Lame.

Mon, 26 Dec 2005 21:24:36 GMT

I joined facebattle not too long ago.
Actually, I really like it.

It reminds me of this other place I used to go for Vice Magazine
...Viceland is what I think it was called.

Well, I'm off to work.
Say hi to me.
Or I'll cry.

p.s. here's my latest addition to the photos on face battle

I do <3 him.
A lot.

Bah Humbug=Me

Mon, 26 Dec 2005 01:58:25 GMT

Christmas Eve was okay.
I went to Jeremy's aunt and uncle's.
His entire family was there
well, almost the entire family.
And he ignored me most of the time.
Instead he played video games with his cousins
Then went on a beer run without telling me he was leaving.
That was nice.

I came to my family's deal at 6:00p and that was cool.
My immediate family and their significant others were here.
Along with Fred.
We ate and had a good time.
And then we all split up.
So I went back to Jeremy's thing.
Just to be ignored me.
Apparently, I enjoy being ignored.

Then I drove him to my house
He had one too many beers so he couldn't drive.
And he spent the night.
Which made my heart flutter.

We woke up, opened presents at my house.
Had lemon cinnamon rolls and eggs for breakfast.
Then he asked if I wanted to play video games.
I said no, so he asked if I could take him to his car.

So I guess that if we don't do what he wants, he's just going to leave.
I take him to his car, and he feels guilted into asking me over to his house.
And I still want to be with him, so I go.
I sit around.
Waiting for something to happen.
Nothing does.
He decided that he wanted to take a nap.
But I wasn't tired, so he pretty much kicked me out of his house.
That was nice.

I came home.
He's going to the movies with his best friend Jene (who constantly tells him he should be a "player" and not date me, because she wants to marry him and thinks that she's going to).
Oh, and I don't even dare bring up that Jene is in love with him and is trying to slyly get us to not go out (mainly because she's IN LOVE WITH HIM but partially because she thinks he can do better than me) because apparently Jene can do NO wrong, and never does anything in the slightest bit cruel.

Ugh.

They're going to see Narnia together.
A movie that Jeremy and I were supposed to see.
It was his choice.
That's nice.

I'm so depressed right now, it's not even funny.
Nothing anyone does has been able to help.
I wish it wasn't Christmas so that I could go to Starbucks, see who's getting off of work and then coerce them into going to see "Memoirs of a Geisha" or some equally different movie with me.

I can't wait for the distraction of it NOT being the holidays.

oh, and p.s. Jeremy is going to work on Kristin's (a girl who he dated back in seventh grade and who CONTINUALLY flirts with him on myspace) computer.

p.p.s. he has decided that he's going to start talking to his ex who broke his heart again.

He tells me he loves me.
But all he does is tell me.

I'm waiting for him to show me.

fuck.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In January I gave sweetnspunky a kidney (1000 points). In June I didn't flush (-1 points). In April on a flight to LA, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points). In July I committed genocide... Sorry about that, xperfectxchaosx (-5000 points). Last Monday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole huckleberryred's purse (30 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-4011 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!

Sincerely,
konfus

ugh

Fri, 23 Dec 2005 21:06:04 GMT

I hate it when you make plans with someone and then they go ahead and do it before you can do it together.
it really pisses me off.
like it doesn't matter that I wanted to experience it together and made that absolutely clear.
because I guess that i just don't matter.

ugh.

Fri, 23 Dec 2005 21:04:05 GMT

It's a thug life for me...

I'm really upset.
I don't know why, I just am.
Today I've spent a lot of time listening to my mp3 player.
I haven't listened to it in a long time, but out of nowhere it turned on and started playing songs.
Seriously, I didn't touch it.
It just turned on.
And started playing.

Weird.

But again, I don't know why I'm upset.
Because it's not an angry upset...
It's an "I don't know what to think!" kind of upset.

how lame.

anyway

hello!

Ever.
I'm always on myspace.
I am a myspace WHORE.

Yeah, I know.
sad, right.

It doesn't matter though.
Here, there, it's still me being online and it's still me being bored.
effin aye.

I'm so tired of being bored.
I'm tired of smelling like coffee ALL the time!
I'm tired!
I should sleep.

So the boyfriend (who has recently become the boyfriend again) is spending the night.
Or I am supposed to spend the night at his house.
Which I hope isn't the case.
I can't stand the twin bed.
My bed is severely preferable.

There's a Christmas Tree in the back of the truck.

... hello Christmas tree.

Today is Fun Maybe?

Wed, 07 Jul 2004 20:33:04 GMT

I went to a couple second hand stores today to see if they would give me any money for my clothes that I don't wear anymore, but all I got was $3.20 for a skirt I've never actually worn. But I didn't pay for it either, so it's all well!

I am moving to Chicago on July 16th, 2004. That's this month. That's this year. And that's a week from this Friday.

I is happy and stuff!

Thu, 22 Apr 2004 20:04:38 GMT

I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and I want to go to sleeeeeep!

It's Danielle's birthday today, Lana and I are visiting her on her lunch hour to say happy birthday and sit there and watch all the people with money eat food at some place which no one is sure yet where it is.

Anyhoo, Blake has begun work on his script for "Floyd's Fortune" and he is becoming very excited about making a movie (he and dad have been putting all of this new software onto the livingroom computer and changing around the hardware so that the computer can withstand editing digital film.

Go Blake and Dad!

I am tired of my job, I'm tired of getting yelled at and I'm tired or working at Home Depot, I'd rather work at IKEA than Home Depot and I HATE IKEA!!

so yeah, Lana, Blake and I are going to start this weekend endeavor where we're going to whore ourselves out to people, not in the normal way, but in the way where we video tape their special events. See, people make $1000 a pop doing stuff like that for weddings or reunions, things like that, and we're going to make a little more because lana and Blake are going to do the filming, Blake's going to do the editing and I'm going to be doing the candid photography (since I'm the only one with a flare for that sort of thing). But it'll be a cool quick way to make cash, and Blake can add the videos to his portfolio for when he applies to Chapman film school.

But I hate my job, Lana and I are looking for new ones.

Blake and I are looking for an apartment.

Someone hit my car in a parking lot and made a two foot long scratch onthe passenger side door of my poor lil' maverick. But who cares, the car still works and it still looks semi okay.

I also signed up the Maverick to be on "Pimp My Ride" on Mtv. heh. cool.

yes, well, I'm sure that I must retreat to my wanderings around ebay (I'm addicted to finding things I don't need).

G'bye!

p.s. Hope the carpenter ants don't eat you too.

In the Meantime

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 19:29:38 GMT

I'm applying for corporate.

Have I written that already? Even if I have, it's something to tell again.

Oh yes, and in a yeah and a half, Blake, Danielle and I are moving to New York, so we can experience "East Coast Living." Since Danielle wants to go to school for cosmetology and such, I want to go to an acting academy and Blake wants to go to film school, we figure New York is a pretty cool place to start out. I mean, it probably has all those places on the same block.

I'm sure it's all fairly expensive, but that's what the year and a half are for. SAVING UP!

woo!

I'm excited!

:)

::The Man::

Sun, 28 Mar 2004 01:38:56 GMT

I work at Home Depot, yes, I am crazy, aaahhh!!!

But I applied to go corporate with them, which normally means a raise (cha ching) <---that was a register noise meaning more money, in case you're dumb.

:)

After I applied, I called the office of one of the women who hires over there and she said to call her on monday and set up and ionterview with her for next week.

It sounds interesting, I get weekends off, it's that 8-5 gig, and I wouldn't mind that because I like set schedules that leave me lots of play time on the weekends.

So far this sounds cool...

plus, i can get back into the swing of things with the whole college thing, and hopefully start again as a theatre arts major.

Rock On.

I still want to be in the bright lights. Not the interrogation type of bright lights, but the cool, everyone wants a piece, type of bright lights.

Yeah, that would be way nifty cool.

I must be off, I must shower before Blake gets home.

We're seeing a movie tonight.

YAY!

::muah::

Not Today

Tue, 23 Mar 2004 05:28:33 GMT

I apologized to my mother about spending her money without care, and we had a long discussion about life in general...

I ended up crying for the better part of tonight, and I have a feeling it's not over yet.

It's over. We're over.

I don't want to believe it.

I have to believe it.

So yes...

Wed, 17 Mar 2004 18:30:57 GMT

I had a wretched time yesterday morning, it was pretty gnarly. My mother told me to "get the fuck out" and then told me I was a "bitch."

honestly, she did have a right to be mad, but no one has any right to call another person something like that, and when they're paying rent you don't tell them to "Get the fuck out." If anything, you tell them you would like it if they left.

And that exchange should never be had between a mother and a daughter.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the parent and she's the child.

Isn't that sad? A daughter should ALWAYS feel like she's the younger of the two.. and she's the more immature than the other.

nut not in this situation, I just made my sandwich and got ready for work while she slammed doors and yelled some more.

c'est la vie.
