Wacky Tacky Day... :)

Why yes, that dress IS an INSTA-WIN. And I had more 90s hairbows you can't see in the picture. Also, my hair had deflated at that point in the day... yeah.
Megan succeeded at Wacky Tacky. Rachel still looks cute... SIGH! :P

As far as swing goes... well, let's just say that I think I need to practice my swivel step. a lot. :P It is not my favorite, but I ought to be able to pull it off instead of just standing there in awkward confusion.
Seeing Sandy made me smile.
Doug, you would be proud of me... I (sort of) danced in my mittens! Do you respect me now?

Sundays are awesome

I love, love, love the feeling of "I finished all of my homework and housework yesterday and now I can do WHATEVER I want to with my Sunday."

Including spontaneous plans to make trips to obscure state parks in northern Harford County. That's fun.

Note: I am not as bad a videographer as some of the shots would indicate. I just had to use some... uh... creative cropping. Let's just say that graffiti is rarely clean.

Also Note: I tried really hard to find a good song that was the right length to put this video to. The next closest thing I could find was Sugar Plum Fairy music, and I know how Princess feels about the misuse of THAT. :P So suffer through some Veggie Tales, it'll be okay.

PS- new post on Veloquence. Check it out.

re-

rested.

revived.

refueled.

rededicated.

Today was really, really good. I just felt... happy. And like I could breathe, and talk to people, and not worry about must-go-straight-to-choir-so-I-can-eat-before-I-do-my-homework-so-that-I-can-write-another-college-essay-before-bed-if-I-even-get-to-bed.

Seriously, I am glad that the concert and my college applications are just... done.

Next big hurdle?

Senior Thesis... yay. But that's not due until March. Who's up for 28-32 pages? I feel like a baby, but when I think that that's 12 pages longer than last year... and about something I am not-as-passionate about... yeesh. But we shan't talk about that.

I TALKED TO CHRISTINE TODAY <3

I love life.

my life is crazy wonderful.

the people in my life are crazy wonderful. mostly crazy, but close enough.

I wore my happy skirt today.

I am trying really hard not to use exclamation points, but inside I am going [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

and my face hurts because I have been smiling all day.

:)

Kathryne

many yays :)

Well. I suppose I could go through my week and talk about things that made me smile each day, but I am far too impatient for that.

Basically:

my grandparents took Kristen & me (& Oscar) on a cruise to Bermuda.

It was gorgeous.

I read Jane Eyre and I totally called 2/4 plot twists.

I read The Bride Collector and there is no calling Ted Dekker.

I am reading The Silmarillion and it is beyond words.

I am then going to read something by John Grisham and then Portrait of a Lady.

I love summer.

My goal is to read two "classics" (aka good literature written before 1950 with 250+ pages) every 3 weeks. Not including my candy reads (see: Ted Dekker, John Grisham, Tim Downs, etc). Sound reasonable? That would mean I'd get nearly 10 really good books in, this summer. LOVE! (unfortunately, this would include 5 assigned reads like Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass... SIGH!)

Quote of the day:

Kristen: I had this dream about the mimes last night...

Katie: WOAH, me too; how weird.

Kristen: We must be telepathetic!!!*

*pun intended

PS- I am getting a laptop! Oh joy, joy, joy!!! It's a Powerbook G4... the predecessor to the MacBook Pro.

Aprés Moi

I must go on standing

You can't break that which isn't yours

I must go on standing

I'm not my own; it's not my choice

-RSpektor

...I WILL make it. I WILL.

To prove it, my junior thesis is done!!!!

Fridays :)

I. Love. Fridays.

Seriously?

What is better than the feeling that you don't have any pressing need to clean your room or do this assignment or attend this function?

When you choose what you do?

When you can decide whether you want to stay at home and read a book for fun or go out all evening?

...Especially when (b) includes a wonderful rendition of your favorite Shakespeare comedy (Taming of the Shrew) and SWING DANCE and chocolate and people you love.
