I was a bitch last night. I'm sorry. I was thrown off from the get go and, well, I don't really have any other excuses. Sorry.
However, I did get to see a bunch of people I knew I missed, and even some that I hadn't realized I was missing... and I still miss you!
I think I'm transfering into the Catholic dorm (if I can get in)... bigger rooms, climate control, (possibly) no roommate, and the ultimate plus: cute, single, Catholic boys. Their mommas raised them right; they not only go to mass, but also realize how to dress up. Yay!
Tristan's here for the weekend... Joy abounds. |

Happy Halloween to one and all... you should be out getting drunk somewhere if you're in college. If you're too young for that, I pity you. Just keep counting down the years until you, too, can be out getting shit-faced without fear of having class in the morning. Enjoy!
Side note: Unless you frequent the Native American house on Nevada Street in Urbana, IL, SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT UIUC'S MASCOT! It's not a racial slur a la the Redskins, nor do we depict Native Americans as cartoons (the Cleveland Indians). So, until we start using YOUR ethnicity as our mascot, IT AIN'T ANY OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS, especially if you don't attend/have never attended UIUC. In short, high-minded, white liberals, stop bitching about a school's mascot. Don't you have bigger things to protest, like the War in Iraq, the pro-life radicals and the entire right wing agenda?
Just keep it in perspective, people. There are bigger wrongs in the world to right than the Chief and his Fighting Illini... |

Wow.
World Series games are amazing, even when your team isn't playing it. Although it's cold as all fuck in October in Bridgeport. But, SoChi's up 2-0 in the series, and even though it pains my Cubs' fan heart to say it... They might win it all. And no, I don't considered semi-cheering for the Sox selling out. No, I consider that to be cheering for my city. Because, as a city, we've been getting shafted on the World Series for 160+ years.
Although part of me can't help but cheer when the Astros do something well... a good play is always fun to see.
Fencing tonight, as well as wondering what the fuck to be for Halloween. All ideas welcome. |

A phrase that fits today perfectly: awkward as all fucking hell. But life goes on. An upside: I got to wake up to the sound of my parents getting ready for work in the morning, a sound I've really missed. Yes, it was way too early to be up, but it was a comforting sound and I was able to fall back asleep.
Poems I'm really into at the moment and you should be too:
"One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop
"in time of daffodils" and "Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town" by e.e. cummings
"When You Have Forgotten Sunday: The Love Story" by Gwendolyn Brooks
"Bum Town" by Tony Fitzpatrick
Go out and find copies of all those poems. I swear, you'll love them, too. Maybe. Hopefully. Or, I'm just weird, which isn't that much of a long shot.

Russell, Eric, you guys are the best. I love you both tons.
Bryan, I'm sorry for snapping at you. Ask Daniela if you really want to know.
Zims, it'll start looking up. He's a man, and they're pretty clueless (see: Bryan Kerr, who has no idea when Daniela and I are talking about him in front of him). Your offer to come over this weekend was one of the sweetest I've heard. Thank you; despite the ups and the downs and the people, we've managed to hold it together. I'm here whenever you need me. From kindergarden to now, I love you.
Daniela, I don't care what people say about rooming with someone you know in college. It's one of the best choices I've ever made, and probably the only smart one. I love you.
I'm applying for RA... of the following, who do I pick for recommendations? States, Trenkle, Spoleti, Albright? (I get two). |

Alright, here it goes, I'm updating. I have nothing to really say, which is problematic when updating one of these.
I'm gonna try to keep updated on EVERYTHING... homework, however, does not apply.
I hate Suburban Express. It should die and rot in hell. The train gets me back to my dorm a shit load quicker, allowing for more sleep. This is unlike the garbage men here at wonderful UIUC, who feel that doing the garbage pick up for my dorm is perfectly acceptable at 4:30 in the morning. I blame them for my headache. Fuckers.
Homecoming was fun. Well, to be specific, the post-Homecoming laser tagging was fun, even though I don't really like laser tag. I knew I missed people from back home, but I never realized how much until I saw all of them together. It makes being so far away suck even more.
And goddamn him for using my legs to get my attention... it worked a little TOO well and I spent 3 hours horribly distracted from sweet, sweet sleep.

I had rape class tonight at Newman Hall, which is the Catholic center on campus. Basically, I was forced to sit through a lecture on how not to get raped while staring at pictures of the Pope, Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Talk about awkward. At least I actually dragged my lazy ass out of bed to Church today and won't be burning in hell anytime soon... I hope.
Anyway, in honor of FYCARE rape class, here are...
QUOTES OF THE NIGHT!!!(said in big, booming announcer voice):
*mocking* "Drunk students? I go to UIUC and I've NEVER seen drunk students..."
"Well, you know when you're all at a bar... Okay, house party, you're all freshmen and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you don't have fakes yet."
"'You go to a party and see this really nice, kinda cute guy, Derek, from your philosophy class. You both get blasted and start heading home. You get to Derek's dorm first, and he says that you should come up, 'cause he's too drunk to walk you home, the MTD has stopped running and you can sleep in his roommate's bed, since he's out of town. You do this, and wake up in the middle of the night to find Derek kissing you. How do you get out of this?' Okay, ladies, first off, your bullshit meter should be off the charts since the MTD never stops running. Secondly, my advice on the best way out of this would be to say, 'Derek, what the fuck do you think you're doing? I'm trying to sleep here. Go back to your own bed,' since he's a freshman like you and probably isn't used to having a girl in his room. That should chase him off."
"It says here that you should always have a "sober buddy" if you go out and drink. Now, I realize that this can't always be accomplished, so I'll tell you what I have. I don't have a "sober buddy"; I have a "buddy-that-isn't-as-fucked-up-as-you-and-the-rest-of-your-friends". As long as they know their first name and can count to ten, you're good to go."
I <3 FYCARE!

I'm watching El Crimen Del Padre Amaro... creepy (although incredibly interesting and compelling) movie. Either way, I'm watching 10 Things I Hate About You afterwards to see if it'll cheer me up. It won't, but I can always hope.
On another note, I fucking quit. I'm sick of the feeling I get in the pit of my stomach every fucking time. Problem is, I want to say no more, but I can't. Whenever I open my mouth, nothing comes out; for all my bravado with other people, for all my assertiveness, I can't speak around him. Not the truth, not the half truth, nothing. The really pathetic things is that even though I say I quit, I only dig myself in deeper.

I woke up at 7:41 today. Normally, this wouldn't seem wrong to anyone, but here's the thing: I have an 8am. Oops. I swear, I vaulted out of my damn bed (I'm on the top bunk) and got dressed in 2 minutes. I even managed to make it to the lecture hall on time, which I was afraid I wouldn't, so YAY! I also found out that in Global History (my 8am) that I have a quiz on Friday. The prof told us that we can show up, take our quiz, and just clear out when we're done. This class seems relatively easy (then again, I have a shitload of history teachers in my family, so maybe it's just me) and I'm thinking (or is that hoping) that I can be done with the quiz and out again in 10-15 minutes tops.
Other than that, I'm just counting down to Friday.

So... one week of college is out of the way. Thank God, there's only like, 35 to go until summer.
Classes are okay... but I'm bored. Most of them are huge lecture halls, and nobody keeps the same seat, which can make it hard to meet people in the class. I am, however making friends in the halls. Let's go through one by one and discuss them, shall we, since we all know I won't get around to my reading in a timely fashion. Oops...
TASHA: Loud, lives 3 doors down and across the hall. Fun, depending on the situation. Need to watch her with the Jungle Juice/Kool-Aide and Everclear. Refuses to drink beer, which considering her affinity for anything with a proof attached you'd think she wouldn't really care.
DORSA: I love Dorsa. And Dorsa's Chex Mix. And her Swiss chocolate. I mean, what is there to not love about Dorsa? Yay! For Southies that live on my floor and not over in the Six Pack.
SCOTT: Scotty doesn't know! Okay, I had to get that out of my system. Sweetheart that lives below us and across the hall. He's fun to go out with and can normally find us a pretty good party.
DEREK: Lives across the hall from Scott, we only met him because he has a habit of leaving his room door open while watching good movies. Now that I think about it, that's a really good way to pick up chicks that make a habit of wandering the third floor, like us... hmmm... Either way, he has Chappelle's show on DVD, which makes him pretty damn good in my book.
BRYAN: Derek's roommate. He's pretty cool, too, loves to play online poker. I fully support this, since we're not allowed to use poker chips in the halls because it's "gambling". Psh.
BRIAN: Guy from Warren that Daniela met on Facebook. He's a sweetie, too, and lets us come over to Hendrick House and hang out in air conditioning. There was a bonding moment last night with him and Eric (who also went to Warren) over the streaker at the Maine South/Warren game last year. For those of you who don't know, there was a streaker. The security guards couldn't catch him. Hare took matters into his own hands and tackled him. According to Brian and Eric, the guy was out of school for a few days. Way to go, Coach Hare.
ERIC: Brian's friend, met him at Late Nighter. He's got this awesome smile and can play piano (although at first he said he couldn't) sings (although I haven't heard him) and says he can't dance... That I'm not sure of, because when I see him dance it looks damn good, but he says that footworking is the only thing he can do. We'll see.
JOHN: "Daniela, HE'S A HICK!" Thanks, Dorsa, I couldn't have put it better. Seriously, he's from downstate Illinois (two hours further south than here... let that sink in) and collects knives. And copies of the Kama Sutra. And edible lube that tastes cherries. Another, more sexual Jay, anyone?
There are a few more, but those are the people I've really gotten to know (as much as you can over one week) and really hang out with. I've only known them for a lil' bit, but it almost feels like I've known them forever, which is strange. Well, I mostly feel that way about Eric and Brian and sometimes Tasha. Daniela I have known forever, so that's that.

| | depressed | ] |
| [ | Current Music |
| | Maria Mena- Sorry/Lifehouse- Somewhere In Between | ] |
30 THINGS GUYS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GIRLS:
This was written by a guy who has had years of experiance.
1. Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house...they run around in their underwear just like we do.
2. DON'T CHEAT ON THEM. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be mud.
3. Beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the damn hat.
4. Never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.
5. Don't refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.
6. If they slap you hard, you deserved it.
7. Don't be afraid to touch them if you want to. If they're going out with you in the first place, it's because they like being in your arms.
8. If you don't sleep with them, do not tell your friends that you did.
8.5 If you DO sleep with them, don't tell your friends that you did.
9. You can be dirty minded in private, really...most of them are not offended by it...
10. Not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.
11. Most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a pussy..
11.5 Do you honestly need all your money that much? Be a man, pay all the time!
12. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts, and a really pretty ring. Even if it's not a serious relationship.
13. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.
14. If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to beat the shit out of him.
15. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.
16. Never, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.
17. Go to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.
18. You're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents, and best friends. Be prince charming to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.
19. Don't flirt with their moms...that's just freaky.
20. Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like shit, so be understanding.
21. If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.
22. If you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend.
23. Don't stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.
24. If they complain that something hurts, rub it for them without being asked.
25. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.
26. Memorize their god damn birthdays. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life.
27. Don't marinade the cologne, but smell good.
28. Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. Jewelry is always nice.
29. If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt you more if you draw it out.
30. After you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond. |

^Is Wishing For All the Second Chances She Can Get^
I had to get my ass out of bed at 7 today. That fucking sucks. I've officially become spoiled by College Time, that ambiguous thing that allows people my age to stay up until an ungodly hour and sleep until whenever they need to. Tomorrow is a College Time Day for me, 'cause my only class starts at 2pm. Joy! However, I need to be in bed early on Tuesday/Thursday nights 'cause I have an 8am Mondays/Wednesdays/Friday. Piss-poor scheduling on my part. I'll just have to remedy that next semester.
I got the job at Assembly Hall. Now, I'm going to be paid to watch concerts and basketball games, instead of me paying them to see them. Yay! I'm also seriously considering fencing lessons and tango and am definitely joining women's rugby. Actually, I have the time and I'll probably do all three. Tris-Tris had Facebook message/wall that said for UIUC people to know if they were gonna be around, or something like that. It would truly rock my world to see Tris-Tris again. I miss him. *nods*
Other than that, things are still really kinda dragging. I like it here. Its a pretty campus, and so far my profs seem really nice and like they'll be fair when it comes to grading. I still have yet to meet my English prof. He/She will make it or break it for me, 'cause Albright and Spoleti have set my standard for English teachers, and nothing less will do.
Still haven't met anyone that really does anything for me, except Tash and Daniela, but they're not exactly what I'm looking for... yeah. It just sucks, because, let's face it, when you have me, Tasha and Daniela to pick from, Tasha and Daniela go first and I'm just there. Fuck. I think Daniela and I both are just like "FUCK MEN!" sometimes and the rest its like "I WANT A MAN!" Yes, we're both going through with drawl. Here's the thing, though... Daniela's fix (okay, fixes) is/are in the area... I have no fix in sight. Fuck.
Love me or leave me, but FUCKING DECIDE ALREADY!
~*kt*~
Quotes of the Day:
Katie: What the shit are you doing out of bed?
Daniela: *blank stare*
Katie: I'm sorry. You know I don't mean it like that. *sheepish look*
Daniela: Yeah, I know. Only in our room would "What the shit are you doing out of bed?" translate to "My dear friend, why are you awake? I'm am concerned for your sleep patterns, since you could easily have another hour before your class."
*after being asked a question about a guy*
Daniela: *nodding* Yeah... ... ... yeah. |
