Katie's secret thoughts. That's why they're on the web.

Serotonin
Ok, I know I said I wasn't going to update anymore but I just wanted to include the current music thing (for the first time but whatever) because I'm so excited about my new CD. YAY!

Current Music: Serotonin ! Yeah BABY!

The End
Ok, I think I've pretty much given up on this, you really needn't check to see if there's anything interesting on this site from me anymore because by the time I finish everything and actually get down to writing stuff, I have nothing interesting to say. So this is probably the last one for a while anyway.
Let's see, this week was pretty crazy, lots of work and tests, no time for anything fun, just crazy. Yesterday was my highpoint-work and then two movies and chinese food with my mom. The first, A Mighty Wind, was most definitely worst movie I've ever seen. No name actors try to be humorous while failing miserably. The second, A Room with a View, I absolutely loved. It was the ideal romantic movie (Nikki, you would hate it and then make fun of me for liking it, so don't see it) and makes you feel all nice inside, yeah, just really nice. Set in Florence, then moves to Great Britain with British accents all the way, it's lovely.
So, my big ambition is to learn Italian. I figure I better wait until 2004 to start for lack of time, so I've made my New Year's Resolution early this year. It's gonna be great, I can't wait.
I guess that's it. I'm going to NYC in two weeks and then Deanna is coming in December for three days!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm so excited you wouldn't believe it if I told you. Ok, so long guys, that's it.
Love Always,
Katie

Tra la la la la
Let's see... Where to start, I haven't really done an entry for a while, and I've been getting a lot of crap mail lately, like "FREE homosexual pictures! Yours for the taking. DOWNLOAD NOW!" and "lower your tax rates!!!" and that sort of crap, I think I probably got on the mailing lists from lj, and it pisses me off. It's like this: I sign online, hear the happy "Welcome" and the happier still, "You've Got Mail" and then to find it's all :Make up to $75 Per Hour or more from the comfort of your home fcjpi, it pisses me off so much! I'm going to have to find out how to get off these mailing lists.
Today was the first day in a while that I had time to not be rushing so much, and i bought a ton of stuff from the Toy Shop b/c we're having a sale, so you should all expect christmas gifts that mostly fall under the category of Toys. Yeah, so that was today, long and boring, but less homework than usual, and a very yummy supper, it was sweet sweet sweet.
Let's see, other than that? not too much, got pay check #3 today, quite exciting. I'm pretty tired, so I guess next on the list is bed. I'm so excited I can't wait, I'm in love with my bed, if you've ever slept on it you'd know why. And it's nothing dirty, it's just so comfortable and new, oh I love it so... It's never once let me down, that's how good our relationship is. I think I better go and spend some quality time there. Good night.

i need serious help
So I have a question for everyone. If you went to Carlisle school then you know that Mrs.Ewers (shudders) taught us this word and I can't remember it. Who ever can tell me the answer gets a million Katie points (i'll have to think of something really good that a million can be redeemed for). Here goes: so this word is what a character is called when he is like the opposite of another character. He's (or she's) used to emphasize the other's strong (or weak) points. It can kind of be used like this: In To Kill A Mockingbird, that scummy farmer's lawyer is Atticus' _______. And it's not antagonist, it's another word, and I've looked in 3 or 4 thesauruses and I can't find it. It's driving me absolutely nuts, I really need help. So yeah, if you get this one you will be on my good list forever and ever no matter what(unless you eat my cookies when I'm not looking). I promise. So yeah, leave a comment if you know. Thanks.

Wow, how intense...
Well this week was more busy busy busy and stress stress stress. I had a huge and somewhat painful task to accomplish this week, but I think it's for the best. I don't really want to go into any more detail on it though, so I won't.
So I am learning that my classes are all really awesome, except for the fact that it seems that I have mostly the same group of kids in each one. So this sucks because there are several friends who I don't have anything with, and is great because I have a lot of classes with others. I realized that as much as my English teacher sucks as a teacher, he's a really nice guy, he's bringing us bagels next homeroom. Yeah, he's ok by me.
So this weekend I am looking at ballet, the Dalai Lama,lots of home work, more home work, and a really close friend from out of town. It's like the best of the best and the worst of the worst, but that's my life apparently.
Right now I am laughing hysterically at Monty Python, or whatever. I've never seen it before, I think I'm the new biggest fan. Absolutely a riot, highly recommended. So yeah, get off the computer and watch Monty Python, it's good.
Ciao

Stress Stress Stress
I am turning into an official stress bug. I had the suckiest weekend known to humanity. It consisted of Friday eve:ballet rehearsal, Sat 9-5 work, 7-11.5 babysit, Sun:wakeup & panic b/c have slept until 10:45 and need to do a million things including:11-12.5 ballet rehearsal, 5-book club for book which as of Sun, 10:45 was not nearly half way through, 7:30 finally come home and start hw in every subj. hold the beautiful Chinese class. So yeah, I finished the book at 4:59, honestly, in the driveway of the host's house. It was quite an excellent book and comes highly recommended (it was The Life of Pi). Don't get me wrong, my life is great, not kidding at all. I was realizing this last night, I have everything a girl can ask for (including a boyfriend whom she adores but hasn't had time to even think about let alone see...rush rush rush, that is my life and I am sorry Chris) but I don't have any time to enjoy any of my blessings b/c of this god damn schedule I am trying to obey. Lord, 3 days of school and I am already swamped with responsiblity. Anyways, I am supposed to be at ballet now actually, but my mom was stuck in a meeting and couldn't drive me just to add to my problems (I missed the first class, that's a real good way to start the year off! Good one Katie, but what can I say, it was not my fault). So that's basically my life. I better stop procrastinating and get my work done so that's it for now. I'm sincerely sorry to everyone I've been griping to about everything and that I don't have the time to stop and listen to your lives. This is just the way it is. I apologize. Ciao amigos.

Good bye summer...
Hm...I wonder if I have to change my lj account name...Whatever, summer has officially ended and I am sad. School was actually pretty good though. I like all but one of my teachers, and I would have to say that Chinese is absolute favorite. It's not even that I like the class all that much (I do, don't get me wrong) but I am so glad that the students and the teacher are the same, it's kind of like my safety class. I am so glad that I am taking it again, it is such a relief. Other than that-good teachers, good classes. I am really looking forward to Chem, surprisingly, as well as Algebra. English is the disappointing class. I was really hoping for something a little more motivating than last year (which is pretty broad) but just my luck, I have the brand new teacher who is a nervous wreck and no fun at all so I am immensely disappointed on that. Other than classes school went well today, I'd say. It really surprised me how little the Freshmen are, were we that small? Anyways it was weird not being the littlest. I was getting used to it. I kind of miss not being a freshman anymore. Sophomores suck. They are like the odd ball class who don't really fit in anywhere and are just sort of paying their dues until they become upper-class men. So that's my view on school. I am really sorry that summer ended so quickly. I did do a lot of great things this summer. I felt like I really learned a lot, you know? I can't really explain it but I finally started taking interest in school, but out side of school. It's hard to describe, you'll just have to take my word for it. So farewell summer, I can't wait for next year! Cheers.

NYC, reprise
sorry to do this in two entries, anyways...
After Bloomie's we went to FAO which was far better and I had a splendid time playing with the Groovy Girls, my new favorite toy.
7:00is-we go back to the Hotel and hang out there for a while and watch AFV and then decide it's time for supper so we send the mommies off to retrieve Tai food, which was really really good. We just spent the rest of the night in the Hotel room hearing about Uzbeckistan. which reminds me that Uzbeckistan is a really different country than America (as obvious as that sounds). What struck me most was that women need their husbands' permission to get a job, and mostly that consists of watching other people's children (ie. daycare). So that's Friday.
Saturday Morn- Awake and go to Grocery store to buy Brecky, then eat on pool side which is on the roof (pretty cool) (well, hot actually)
Sat after that-take a cab to the UN and meet Evie and Sandy and Maya who had gone to the Statue of Lib that morn. UN was really cool. Very worthwhile and is recommended to anyone interested in that kind of thing.
Then we stumble around for a while and try to find some place to eat and to get out of the rain. We do and meet up with some friends of Eve's and their French ex. student who was a big pain in the butt, but Hakuna Matata
Sat, Afternoon: we go and but umbrellas for $1.08 and then go and wait in Mickie D's while the mommies wait in line to get half price tickets to Phantom of the Opera.
After the Mommies are successful we go to the Capezio store (Katie's heaven) and I buy a much needed new dance bag (it's outrageous how bad the old one was smelling) and then we go to the hotel for an hour before we go to the Opera.
Sat, Evening:Go to see the Phantom of the Opera which I have to say was right up at the top of my list with Lion King, I loved it SO much. I really really recommend it to anyone. It was totally fabulous. Totally. So after that I bought an over priced Ragtime poster. Then it was off to an 11:00 supper at a little Mexican place which consisted of lots of good laughs and head bumping. Yeah it was all good. So we didn't get back until 1:00, which was just 100% fun.
Sun Morn: five of us (minus the little sister who stayed in the Hotel to watch 'toons) go out to brecky and then walk to Strawberry Fields, which was very nice and profound. Then we rushed back to check out before they kicked us out. Did a little shopping on 5th, saw the "Tiffany's Diamond" (so pretty). then rushed back to pick up our bags from the hotel and caught a train home and then We said good bye and I was sad, but now I finally feel like I've had a sumer and I hate to say it, but I'm ready to start school on Thursday. This was def. In the top 5 times of the summer. Whew, what a time. Ok so, That's all. Cheers.

NYC, what is it about you? You're Big, You're Loud, You're tough!...
Yeah, NYC all the way! Had such a kickin weekend, it was much much needed and much much much appreaciated. I finally got my Girl's night out-type weekend. It was such a blast. A huge blast. So, I'll describe it to you.
Friday morning, some ungodly hour: wake up and jump in the car in order to catch an 11:00 train from New Haven
Friday, 10:52: waiting for one of best friends at the train station to arrive and going nearly insane with worry that we will miss the train
Fri, 10:53: catch site of two familiar people and one new face running unbelieveably fast towards us and we start running with them towards the track.
Fri, 10:59: Train begins to depart with all six of whom have some relevance to me aboard, introductions="Katie, Molly, Joanne, this is our exchange student Maya from Uzbeckistan" and let me say that Maya is only the coolest Uzbecki I know.
Fri, 1:00ish: Train pulls into Grand Central Station, we get out and grab two cabs and go over to the Hotel.
F, 1:15 ish: decide to go to the Frick(in New York) and walk a long long distance in the hot hot sun through a smelly smelly Central Park. Get to see the Beautiful Vermeers and a Rembrandt and an Inge (is that how that is spelled?) and a few others which I really enjoyed, after an hour or so we decide to spplit and start some shopping.
F, some mid-afternoon hour: Katie takes her first step into Bloomingdales, it was not all that it is cracked up to be, but still pretty exciting. After that we went back to the hotel and whoops! I have to finish this later, but don't worry, I will.

one quick note and then that's it
ok news of the day=I got my first birthday card for my 16th birthday today (although it is closer to my 15th by about 12 days but what the hell?) from my best friend of and for all time (now because of this) and it totally made my day so while today feels like a continuation of yesterday (how profound was that?!) it is actually much better seeing as I got a birthday card and it was in the MAIL! so tala talee taloo and hooray for me and hooray for you and I am done rhyming and goodnight, cheers.

Ho Hum Pidly Pum Talum Badum Talum Pidum
I'm quite bored and tired and my head is hurting and my stomach is being a pain in the butt and I have a hell of a lot of crappy things to do this week. And I really don't feel like writing tonight so I am just going to tell you the news of the day which is (drum role please) I GOT MY FIRST REAL PAYCHECK TODAY THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY MOTHER!Ta la! so that's the news, you should all be proud of me, because I actually did something all be myself and my mother had nothing to do with it, well she did in the sense that she gave birth to me and raised me in this area and drove me to work, but the store didn't ask for her reccomendation to hire me which is a first. it's great because I am doing something by myslef, and I think that that is a step in the right direction if you know what I mean. But of course you don't because I am just rambling and making no sense at all so just ignore everything in this entry except for the following statement=I am $71.05 richer than I was when I woke up this morning at 8:24 (with out my alarm clock believe it or not!). So hooray for Katie and Hooray for me and good night.

brrrrr....
Well, I'm back from a hell of a long ten days. I feel like crap now that I actually have to do stuff in prep for (pardon my language) school. I really REALLY do NOT want this summer to end, I really REALLY would not complain if it were 90 degrees and sunny every god-damned day for the rest of my life, I HATE this feeling of starting school. And the weather today is the crapiest of crap because it is cold, and not just like 70's cold, it is currently 68 in my house which in Katie world means 35 to the rest of you. I am wearing long pants and a sweater type shirt because I am so cold! AAARGH!
Ok, enough of that, other than being officially pissed off, I'm pretty good. I have an entire season of friends waiting for me (well actually only half, I have got through the first two of four DVDs already), and that makes me happy. And I got some good clothes while away so that makes me happy. And I am going to the Frickin New York (Katie I) this weekend, so that also makes me happy. And I have ten days worth of mail waiting for me at the post office (which is the equivalent of one or two things from CC) so that makes me happy too, I love mail. If you ever want to make me happy, send me some mail. I especially love getting Birthday cards in the mail, even if they are six months early, what the hell. AND CHICAGO IS OUT ON DVD AND THAT MAKES ME VERY VERY HAPPY! Other than that though, my life is masomenos (is that spelled right? it's been so long since I've had to do any of that spanish crap) (thank god). I guess I better go for now, I'm all out of thoughts, so cheers!

Kick Ass Monday!
Hey, yesterday was sweet! Oh so sweet. So here's what happened:
I wake up at 10:00 ish to a call from my friend in Curoucao (or however that is spelled), she just wanted some addresses, but still, it was pretty cool to talk to someone on another continent.
Ok, after that I grab some breakfast and start some more painting (which is really coming along, we might actually finish the hallway by the time school starts) (that was all sarcastic in case you were confused), but that's not the kick ass part
Then I go off to see (don't laugh) Freaky Friday (which was way better than I expected it to be) (although I really did want to see it anyway) with Sarah & Mariah & Molly, and we had a great time running from theater to theater trying to find one at which we would be able to see the entire movie (the times apparently change on Mondays, so we showed up one time for the Sunday times at one theater only to find that it had started 25 minutes ago and there wasn't another showing for the next three hours)
Then I go over to Elyssa's house to talk about the TV show with the rest of the cast and my mom and sister.
Then out of the blue Carl is like, "hey Katie, Elyssa and I are going in to see Camp in an hour, wanna come?" so I plead with my mom and convince her that Carl is a responsible driver and blah blah blah and all that crap and we drive into Alewife and then take the T to Kendall Square at which point we find out that "the movie theater isn't right here, it's, uh, farther away..." (compliments of the directions you can acquire when you send a man to do a woman's job) so we run aimlessly around the Kendall square area for about 14 minutes (we ended up being 20 minutes late for the movie) trying to find the damn theater and when we finally do (we only misse ten minutes of the actual film) there are no seats left except for those crappy ones right in the front, but we took them and the movie was really good! I was pretty impressed with some parts, and there was a LOT of talent in some of those kids. Some of the lines were pretty crappy, but mostly it was just good old American entertainment.
So after that we went into Harvard Square and got some lemonade and then walked around a little bit. Then we ran into some other former CCHS-goers and had a good laugh, then went home.
So all in all it was a sweet day and I got to go to sleep with the prospect of seeing my boyfriend (who I will not get to see for at least 11 days)(and who I have been with exactly two months tomorrow) in the morrow (today).
Yeah, it doesn't get much better than that.

What A Day!
So I started work at the Toy Shop today. Eight hours straight, well with one thirty minute break. I am so wiped, and now I am supposed to go off to babysit, although the woman has yet to call to tell me what time-frame we're talking. Anyways, the Toy Shop was fun but hard work. I learned how to use the register, fill balloons (painful on the fingers, wrap presents, vacuum, delegate customer service questions to people who actually know what they're doing, you name it! Anyways, i am SO tired, so I think I will go take a nap until the lady with spoiled kids comes to take me a way. Bye

well, I'm alive if that means anything
so camp is over. I would say that all-in-all it was a great success, but also incredibly exhausting. We had a really difficult camper, but there's always one. Other than that the kids were better than gold, you couldn't ask for a cuter or easier group. And the parents were all really pleased with our work. One mom talked to me about how glad her daughter came to camp this year for five or ten minutes flat. We had one camper "graduate" who had been there for all four possible years and since our very first year. The list of things that she has seen change would go on for pages, but basically she's seen us go from a staff of four and enrollment of four to a staff of four and enrollment of 12. We had such a blast this year, at least I did. I guess Nikki didn't have as much fun as me, but it's always harder when it's at your house than at the other (it switches houses from year to year). Anyways, I'm pretty pleased with the turnout and I think that we have a good lineup for next year.
Other than that I had a pretty good week. I got to spend a fair amount of time with Chris and I also got to see some other buddies as well. My sister is having a birthday party now, so I get to rest which is good. Ta ta!

hmmmm...sectret, my God!
i can NOT believe no one told me that I misspelled something in my title! good lord you guys are awful! I never read my own title and I never would have caught that! jeez! so just for the record, I can spell, and I know what you all are thinking: yeah right, then what is with the double L in twrill? but all I have to say to you is poopoo, I am all about the double L, and it is not my problem if the rest of the world doesn't like the double L, but I do so that is the end of that, I can spell. (and use italics compliments to Nikki) anyways I had a great time last night contrary to what some of you may think, but I am still too tired to stay up writing this any longer (I know it's only 7:30, but you have no idea how exhausted I am) so I will tell any who care all about Camp another day. Good Night

wow, i've been writing in this thing for a long time, not today, but, like, ever. i have over twenty entries now and i still don't have much of a clue how to work this site, i just do the basic entry thing and the other thousand users know how to do llocked entries and probably how to do italics on it (something I've been wondering about for a while) anyways, that just occered to me, so i guess that's my thought for the day (yes, only one)(one, by the way should be in italics god forbid i learn how) that's not the point, the point is that i have wasted hours writing on this thing for the four or five people who read it, i don't know why I do...
OH! KATIE I.! you BETTER go to NYC otherwise I will kick your butt, it will be so (italics) much fun, and i didn't know that the orchestra was included in the trip, but seriously, COME. send in your forms right now and i bet it's not too late. i really hope you do, it will be a blast. yes, definitely come.
ok, that's all, ignore my previous entry, it makes no sense. bye!

eh, Pirates Of the Carribean... eh
Ok, I saw it. And I was really excited, everyone says it's their favorite movie EVER, but I just can't agree. I thought Johny was superp, but other than that, engh. That's just how I feel, it wasn't that great, funny at times, but not an extreme of anything. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood, or maybe I was expecting it to be better than it was, but it just wasn't that great. It wasn't like the scariest or the funniest or the most dramtic or intense or anything, it was just a really good movie. Period. Nothing more, nothing less. Just really good.
anyways, today was Molly's birthday. I feel kindof bad because I don't think that it was greta which means for a birthday, it sucked. i slept till noon, i was going to make her waffles, but my mom made french toast, which is ok. Then we went out to Thoreau & Clay to make my grandfather a present (not something that should be considered great on your birthday). Then we came b ck and I took a nap (! after sleeping till noon! How lowsy of a sister am I?!). then her friend Sarah came over and we had cake and then went to see Pirates, which she loved (atleast one really good thing for her), and that's the end! We gave her some presents, but I only got her some socks and flannel pants, which I feel guilty about. I am going to buy her something next time we go shopping, but I still feel really guilty. Birthdays should be big fun days with everything you love and you shouldn't have anytime to sit and feel bored or anything because you should be getting hugs and being sung to constantly. I always try and make a point of making birthdays for my friends big and exciting, but it's really hard durring the summer and with out a car or anything. I really wish that I cold have done something extraordinary for her, but I guess my 13th birthday sucked big time too, and I got over it. I still feel bad because I wanted to do something super and I didn't. And now I am not even spending time with her again because I am online waiting to talk to my boyfriend! How selfish am I? Well, Chris, if you are reading this and wondering where I am, I am off trying to redeem myslf for my suckiness as a big sister. Good night Y'all, oh! and Happy Birthday Maddie too.

Um... I have signed under penalty of legal punishment that I won't tell you
Wow, I can't begin to describe my past two days, and even if i could I am legally not allowed to, but I have every intention of answering anyone's questions about it. All I am going to say was that I had an absolutely great time and it was an amazing (and exhausting) experience but I will never do it again. So now I am sort-of trying to recover from the absurdness of it all, you have no idea how spoiled something like that can make you feel... I got a ton of free stuff which was sweet. Anyways, it's that weird after-the-hype feeling now, I can't really compare it to anything, I feel totally detached from the real world. I am about to have several people over so we can discuss perhaps the most boring book I have ever not finished reading. It litterally put me to sleep every time I tried to read it. It seemed like a risk to my health to attempt to finish it, so I gave up. That's about it. I had a fine time at Nikki's today preparing our camp for next week, and I am in a great mood right now b/c when I came home yesterday my friend had sent me a copy the Dirty Dancing soundtrack which includes many of the greatest songs ever recorded. So, that's half of what's going through my mind right now. Tata for now

Damn Dust! And damn it's mites too!
Accchhhoooooooooooo! blah, that is how i feel. My house is like one big living dust mite, and it makes me sneeze, and i can barely open my eyes enough to see the computer screen! Blergach! Anyways, tomorrow is going to be lots of fun, I'm doing something with Elyssa and I can't wait! And after that I have to start going crazy about not having time to plan my camp with Nikki, we have SO much to do it is insane. And durring it all I am missing Chris who I haven't seen in God knows how long, damn this busy schedule I have. And not only is my house infested with dust mites, but also ants. Yes, the ugly big black carpenter ones. I went down to the basement to find some clothes and I felt like the floor was moving underneath me because there were so many ants, and I was like, "Where the hell did all these damn ants come from?!" so my day is like blergach and I can't wait to get outside and be with the real people of the world. Oh, and I am in serious pain because I took a really hard class last night and I was so out of shape, and now I am so sore! ACCCK! That's enough for now, but don't get me wrong, I love SUMMER!!!!! (that is not sarcastic, I really do, even though I can't breathe through my nose and all that, atleast I don't have homework) (YES), oh, one last thing, everyone who is part of CCPOPS better go on the NYC trip because I am and I so cannot wait to go! It is going to be one of the bestest trips ever!!! YAY!!!!
ok, enough, I'm done, hasta luego
