We're so cool, it hurts.

Gina! You forgot about the part where the daughter of the seemingly dead ninety-year-old [who was probably about 47+ herself - the daughter, I mean] leaned over and pushed her mother's head up against the back of the chair. Oh my goodness, what a visual. It was honestly the most hilarious part of that movie experience. And while they were having sex [on screen, not the mother/daughter pair]! God, I couldn't control the laughter. As quoted by either Gina or Jake, or both, I "sound[ed] like a dog in heat" - I'm guessing because of the panting and the hyperventilation sounds. It was just at a very inopportune moment, which made it all the more funny. Side note: someone needs to invent quiet Hot Tamale candy boxes.
Speaking of dogs in heat...the dog bone! and the slippery, stolen bowling shoes that I for some reason deemed cool enough to wear that night. I tried to run away and I almost fell in the middle of the bulk packages aisle [better than the ethnic food aisle, although I guess I wouldn't have slipped there. Isn't it carpeted? For some reason, I think it's carpeted.

And yes, Gina, there's a show on May 10. Wait, that's not next weekend. That's next, next Friday. Anyhow, I have to go do a truckload of Statistics homework. And watch Nine Months because I am now officially in love with Hugh Grant [whose new movie, About a Boy comes out on May 17th. It's a plan! - to go.]

Oh, Gina & Jake: are you guys going to prom? Well, if you are, you are both in for a treat. Deanna is going to Tennyson's prom with Kevin Virrey [sp?] So, yes, expect some good times.

Well, then. That was a very frantic post, I'd say. I mean, hell. I actually ASKED for the company of Jake! [In all just kiddingness. You are quite fun to be around]. So, in regards to the whole frantic Saves the Day post, I know you all are simply dying to know what happened.
Well, Shara ended up coming with me. And, interestingly enough, as soon as she decided to go, Rion said that he could go as well. And then we sold the other 2 of the 5 tickets to a girl from the Solemite message board. The show itself was good. The opening bands, Audio Learning Center & Pretty Girls Make Graves [!!!!] received an average score of about 4 [on a scale of 1 to 10] with Audio Learning Center getting a score of 7-ish and Pretty Girls Make Graves dragging down the mean with their score of 1. They were horrendously bad. The girl singer, which, at first, I was excited about, could not do want was included in her job description as singing. She yelled, with "utter disregard to tone and rhythm" [as worded by Rion.] I hid after I bought 2 of their shirts [I HAD to! Sentimental value - due to Palo Alto Solemite show - and they're nice looking. If anyone asks, I'll deny the fact that it, along with being a confusingly catch phrase, is a band as well.] Saves the Day was good, if not short. Apparently they had a new/temporary drummer of sorts and he literally only knew about 16 songs. So after the first 14 or so, they left and then came back for the ubiquitous encore. After a 2 song encore, Chris [vocals] said, "Okay guys that's it. No, seriously. That's all this drummer knows." They pretty much only played songs off of Stay What You Are. And, yes. That's pretty much it. [Other than that one of the sound guys who works at Slim's is exceptionally attractive. Black hair, blue eyes, lip piercings [drool..as in, what I am doing, not what his lip ring is causing him to do - just for clarification].]
Tonight is the Senior Box Social, wherein the guys go early [5:30ish] and set up tables with food and an overlying theme and then the girls come at 6:30 and we all eat dinner together at a randomly selected table and then dancing and laughter ensue. It should be fun, minus the fact that there will be at least 2 girls for every 1 guy [lucky boys] because a lot of the guys in our class have no _________ to plan a theme for a table and food. The _______ can be filled in with time, work ethic, energy, imagination, interest, responsibility.
So, that's all folks. I have work tomorrow, but I get off at 7. Maybe we can do something? Movie? Greg Collins oogling at Albertson's? Any and all of the above?
Call me at work if you're interested.

Please, for the love of God and sonny Jesus...SOMEONE, ANYONE go with me to Saves the Day. There aren't even any qualifications for going with me, just as long as I know you from Eve [religious reference count = 3.] I am, clearly, DESPERATE. Hell, I'd even take Jake with me and endur endless 'this music sucks' comments.

That's saying something.
Here's hoping I don't have to go alone.

jack·ass n.
1. A foolish or stupid person; a blockhead: “You've acted like an irrational jackass and it's time you stopped” (Margaret Truman).
2. Jake.

I believe I speak for both Gina and myself when I say, screw you Jake.

Friday, April 19, 2002

First off, thank you Jake and Gina for the helpful indications as to who is saying what. I did not get lost, not even once.
Secondly, sorry for being somewhat depressing in my last post. I just wasn't feeling good in the situations I was finding myself in. I'm not completely up to speed with it all, but, I'm over it [or not completely over it, but realized the fact that I can't really change anything if she's so intent upon becoming a completely different person - I think I'm going to regret typing that later.] Anyhow, I am in a much better mood now. Thanks in large sum to fun had with Jo, Deanna, Jason, Matt, and Nicole at the peewee golf thing in Castro Valley and then at Bronco Billy's [where it was, sadly, Patrick's last day.]
We didn't have school today. Well, we had to go to school, but for all intents and purposes, there was no school. The seniors all went to the Senior Breakfast and then watched the Senior Video. It was good. ["Props" to Senior Council - I'm impressed] I cried at the end. But, that's to be expected. I'm Katie, that's what I do. [Similar, if you will recall, to Joey's saying "I'm a Tribianni, this is what we do!" - or therabouts] It was fun, but sad because of the whole going off to college thing. I know, I know. Make the Summer last, keep in touch, etc. But it still won't be the same. Then again, maybe I don't want it to. I'm looking forward to the freedom of the whole college thing, but at the same time, with freedom comes a whole lotta risks and I'm a little freaked out. I'll live.
Enough.

I was rooting around Google.com and, in one of my more narcissistic moments, I looked up Random-osity. Well, lo and behold, up popped the search results. Included among them were links to OUR random-osity, out individual pages [that are linked to the left] and then, some other, foreign Random-osity. Intrigued, I clicked on the link and was shocked to discover a site that looks AMAZINGLY like our own little baby here. What the hell's going on? Is the brain child of someone here? It looked like a normal blog, except for it's striking resemblence in not only title but in style of the page layout. It was a mirror image, but instead of our names, it was just the name of one Dan W. Kim [?? who ??] So, I'm just curious. Does anyone know anything about this? Here's the link if you want to do some investigating on your own. Random-osity Numero Deux

Alright, I'm thinking that I'm done. Yes, quite done.
Oh, by the by, I'm awake now Gina if you want to call. Otherwise, I'll see you at 8:30ish 'on the online' [My dad and I have a big night planned. We're going to stay home and bond while watching Momento!] As for tomorrow, Gina, I'm thinking that, for me anyways, Solemite is enough. They are scheduled at 9ish apparently, so I don't know if a movie would be feasible. But, yes, we'll talk. Bye

postscript: I'm listening to Our Lady Peace right now. Talk about your blast from the past. This postscript it aimed mainly at Jo, but she won't read this until four years from now.

ha HA! i have only 3 mondays left at holy family high school, but it doesnt really matter because i have decided i am done with school and i am not doing any work for the rest of high school. i havent posted in a while, but that's just because everything is same-old, same-old, just making a fool of myself on the weekends and then catching hell for it at school during the week. ill see you all soon enough, and then well settle in for some serious updates.

Sunday, April 14, 2002

It's been too long since I last posted and, surprisingly enough, too much stuff has happened since that time [none of it entirely interesting/exciting.] I can't post it all now. My fingers won't withstand the typing. Just know this: I like my job again thanks to new additions, I miss my camp friends due to a recent revist with some of them [namely Patrick], and I'm getting good at the driving thing. I promise to post again soon [as if any of you are waiting with bated breath for my personal updates.] I'm going to go to bed early tonight, hopefully. I think I'm going to watch part of Alive and then go to sleep. I feel sedate for some reason. Not lazy, just...calm and relaxed. Also kind of secluded and separated from people and things. It's hard to explain. Actually, no, it's really easy to explain, it's just hard for me to put into words. Not in the way that it's difficult to put thoughts into words, but in that it's a hard topic to discuss for me and I fear that putting it into words would really cement it [ 'it' being all the thoughts and emotions]. Very similar to what we're talking about in English regarding the mirrors and characters' inablilities to look into them. Actually, speaking of which, a whole bunch of things from English are being repeated in my own life. I don't know what's going on. It's as if some parts of my life, the people, things and places that have always been randomly scattered, are just coming together. At the same time, however, there are pieces that, in the past, have always been solid, but are now slowly becoming...less solid. I feel like I'm not me. I'm all wacked out, I don't know. Perhaps it's the fact that it's fourth quarter and I only have eight more Monday's in my high school career [!!!!] Anyway, I'll post tomorrow, perhaps. Wait for it....

You guys, what did I say about the labeling of your individual phrases. I am lost in your guys' conversation, and I don't think it's worth the time and effort of getting it all straight.
Hey, I want to go out on Saturday after I get off work [@ 7]. I'm thinking Bronco's, because I haven't been there in awhile, and I was reminded of it recently. I want to see the people who work there, and the place itself. I miss it. With all those farmish implements and our crazy campy back room. The only bad memories I have there are washing dishes are getting the disgusting bleach water on my pants. Anyhow, yes, anyone up for an outing?

Monday, April 08, 2002

Hi guys.. fortuneately for me, there has been a change of plan. Next year I will be going to USF because they offered me a scholarship, and because U of Wyoming is a hole. I haven't talked to you guys in so long...especially Deanna, my favorite, but I'll see you all soon enough, and then you'll want me to leave again.

Hey everyone. My first post in forever. Seriously. Anyway, I was just reading the past few posts, and just found out that Noelley will be going to the University of Wyoming. Didn't you get into Santa Clara? I am happy to say that I got in as well, but I am sad that you won't be going. I am excited to hear that you will be coming from May 9-12 despite the AP testing. Bleh. I have to go to class soon. I will post again later. Bye for now.

Deanna

Katie, Katie, Katie...
Damn me for making fun of Fresno State; damn me straight to hell. You see, it looks like old Noelleykins will be heading off to the UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING come September. All of the colleges I applied to were way too expensive, and as most deadlines have passed, U of W with its rolling admissions policy and offers of reducing their already low tuition is beckoning. In other news, I'll be at my grandma's in San Leandro from May 9- May 12 so maybe, if you still like me ( as a friend), we can live it up TPP style.
