Nothing overly dramatic this week, but I've had a ton of fun!

Thursday after school I rode the bus back to the mall where my car was parked at the mall and decided to pop in and get the mask and hat for my costume.  (I'm still missing some pieces so I'll take a picture when it's all together.)  While I was walking to the costume shop, I spotted an old friend of mine and waved.  Rather than wave back he came running and nearly tackled me with a flying hug.  But that's Eric for ya!  Haha.  So him and his brother Bryan and I wandered around the mall and caught up and had general good times which ended with an angry phone call from Mom who thought I had died somewhere. :P  So we agreed to hang out on Saturday and I headed out.

Come Friday my friend Julia and I had made plans to head to this awesome restaurant in town that serves all you can eat CEREAL.  How cool is that??  I put up some pictures in my gallery if you're interested.  I was telling Eric about it through text and somehow by the time I had gotten off work instead of having a girl's night out it turned into a party of me, Julia, Eric, Julia's sister Rachael and our exchange student Yen.  But it was so much fun!!  They have every kind of cereal you can think of, and poptarts as well!

So after work on Saturday Eric and I were gonna go hit up some DDR at the arcade place here in town but after the fun we all had Saturday we decided to round up the group again and added Bryan back in and played video games and rode go-karts for a few hours.   We were all rolling laughing so hard.  I really needed some good ol' fun with friends, not having to worry about having to impress anyone.  And I'm glad Yen had fun, because her lame friends were gonna take her to homecoming and totally bailed on her!!  She was really bummed, so we told her we were gonna force her to smile.  And we did.  Dear lord, she had WAY too much fun with the go-karts.

It's been good to get back into the swing of things with friends.  I've been either too focused on boys or breakups or schoolwork and with no friends to talk to and laugh with I've been FAR too serious.  This week my phone has been buzzing off the hook with texts and pictures and calls to see whats up and I LOVE it.  Like today I got texts from friends stuck at school and work, even though I got to sleep in, hehe.  I got a study group together for anthro and finally had to get my butt out of bed though.  That was a good idea, for sure.  I'm going to start getting those together for all of my classes.  We all had the missing notes from the other person's notes.  Verrrry smooth.  Afterwards I dropped off this cute Halloween outfit my mom got for my friend's baby on her doorstep and met Eric at IHOP.  There's something about breakfast items at night going on this week, haha.  Man, that kid is hilarious.  I wish we had hung out more in high school, but I've got the opportunity now!

So it's been kinda hectic with classwork, but my friends are wonderful.  I <3 them muchos.

Love you guys much!

Kate

I love my friends.  I don't know what I'd do without them.

I did SOOO much better on this geology test with a B, but the lab may not be so hot because I didn't memorize all the rocks like I should have, but oh well, nothing I can do about it now other than try some bribery, haha.  Now I've got the tst in psychology on Fundamentalism coming up, but that should be a snap because I was raised in a fundie church.  In fact, I added an old teacher from my time in Christian school on facebook because he had treated us all like adults and was very well versed in what he knew and I always thought he was pretty cool.  So today I got a message from him where he said I had changed and was disappointed in the language on my page and that I wasn't the Kate he used to know.  And I had to laugh.  So let me go over my page really quick and I'll give you a count of the profanity on it.

Dick - 2

Bitch - 6

**** - 3

Shit - 2

Piss - 1

Overall, I thought that was pretty tame for a teenager.  Anyway, I thought it was amusing that of all the things to say it was on my language.  It's just WORDS.  Now I don't know what to respond to that with.  Anything I say will sound kind of bitchy.  So I think I just won't say anything.

Speaking of not saying anything...  Scotty sent me a random dickhead text AGAIN today.  I checked online and apparently AT&T won't block numbers, but they conveniently DO have a parental control option for only $4.99 a month that can block specific numbers from calling or texting you.  Soooo...  I'm thinking losing $5 a month for awhile will be worth it.  I want him OUT of my life.

But the new guy, Ben, is a sweetheart.  He's an older guy (oooo) at 22, but I'm 19, so it's not all that bad.  We seem to have a lot in common but not too much, and we've been texting back and forth constantly this past week and talking at work.  We end up texting late into the night and whenever he says goodnight he always calls me gorgeous or beautiful.  It's so CUTE.  He went on to say Scotty should be ashamed for not realizing how amazing I was.  I know it's just flattery because we're just starting to flirt, but I LOVE it.  Nothing like a guy to tell you you're pretty. :D

So other than dickhead texting and that lab test, this week has been good!  I went with one of my bestest friends Julia (we've know each other since we were 4) to her dorm out in Maryville and met her friends and we all told lame jokes and watched TV and played some Guitar Hero, hehe.  I even tried a cigarette for the first time (GASP), but I don't see the big thrill.  It was one of those Camel flavored ones, so at least it was minty.  But I don't think I'll be picking up the habit any time soon.  Hopefully me and Julia will be chillaxin' again this Friday up at MY campus because our rec center is bringing in inflatables and a batminton tournament and FREE FOOD.  Woo hoo!  It's gonna be crazy, yo.  Haha.

Hmmm....  It's definitely midnight and I have to be up at 5:45 in the A.M. sooooo... bedtime for moi!

Love muchos!

Kate

It's been what?  Almost a month since I last wrote?  It's been sucky.  But so goes life sometimes.  I've been forced to look at myself and my flaws, and no one likes to do that.  Urg.  But some of you still love me :) and have been wondering how I'm doing, so I've got the Cliff's Notes version for ya.

After Scotty's little whiny rant we kept talking through text. We eventually went and got dinner and started talking and oddly enough I wasn't pissed at him (though I should have been for all the shit he'd put me through). Instead I was guilty of Romantic Rewrite Disorder, where in my head I only remembered all the sweet things and the love came welling back up. The asshat lead me on with hints of getting back together but never for sure, and me in my love-induced madness actually came back to his bed... (SO STUPID!) He suddenly changed his mind and went really cold and we tried to be "friends," when really I was miserable in that state but deluded, kept going with my hopes.

So I went to DC with my family for fall break and Scotty told me how he found a dating site on facebook and met a girl 2 hours away and was going to see her.  I wished him luck.  I cracked when I woke up the next morning and saw they were dating.  I had been talking to my friend about the whole deal and she had said I really needed to let him go.  That should have been a huge DUH, but I really needed to hear it from a friend.  So I sent him a note saying I couldn't be his friend and wanted to be left alone until I thought maybe some other time I could handle it.  Rather than being a normal human he accused me of being crazy and immature and then told me he had sex with the girl and was worried about it because it was unprotected, even after I had told him I didn't want to know anything.  ****er... I told him he was stupid and had hurt me enough and to please leave me alone. And then I blocked him from facebook, haha. He texted back saying he 'couldn't forgive me for that kinda shit and to have a nice life." He's obviously over me, so why waste my time on an asshole who doesn't care about me?

I've been mildly miserable, but it's been months now, and he doesn't care about me.  It just stings to admit that.  And I've been wallowing and hoping for things to go back to the way things were, which isn't gonna happen.  He even "graciously" texted me today to tell me that after this summer I'll never have to see him again. Betcha he's transfering to shack up with the new girl.  It really wouldn't surprise me.

So I decided to quit moping and get out of the past and joined the Undergraduate Anthropology Association and have been checking the calendar to see what's going on after classes, and even met this cute guy at work that's been texting me back and forth, so things are looking up.  I even got to see my friends that went over to ETSU, 2 hours away. We had fun being total dorks. :P  But man, seeing them makes me REALLY want to live on campus.  If I can scrape up enough funding, I'm gonna try to go for it next year.

Hmm...  That's all the drama from the last month!  Other than that it's been sleep, work, school, cramming for school and some food in between.  But that's nothing exciting, haha.

Well, I've got a test in geology to cram for, because the last one was UGLY, to say the least.  Wish me luck!

Love much!!

Kate

But I'll be damned if it does you any good.

I don't understand people that only bitch about how horrible their life is and refuse to acknowledge the good that is still there. Mind you, I have nothing against a good bitching just to get it out of your system! But really, nobody wants to be with a Debbie Downer.

Scotty started texting me yesterday telling me that Alyson dumped him (again) and told him he was immature, spiteful, uncompromising, and that she was embarrassed to kiss him in public. And it was funny because he was so floored by it! All I could say was "DUH." So then he keeps going between him trying to be a better person because he's learned and then hinting at wanting to die by starving himself/driving too fast/alcoholism etc. It was like he expected me to go back to trying to fix everything again. I told him when we broke up I wasn't going to chase him anymore, and I'm sure not about to start now.

Anyway, he finally stopped threatening suicide when he noticed I wasn't jumping to the rescue and started talking about another girl he liked. I told him I didn't want to hear about it. That's just wierd, you know? I only knew him as a friend for a month or so, and as a boyfriend for nearly 2 1/2 years. It's just freaky to talk to him about chasing girls and still he kept going, saying that we should be able to talk about it. He forgets I'm an ex, and not really a friend at this point. I told him he needed to talk to his buddies about it and not me. Too wierd.

So on the bright side, there's no Geology today! But it's one of my middle classes, so I don't get to go home early, though I'm thinking about it anyway. Well, History of Rock is about to start, so I better go. Just needed to vent.

Love much,
Kate
