katiea: Writing papers is like, so cathartic. No, really. I’ve become much more in-depth in my writing process. Like taking time before the actual typing to draw 5 rectangles on a piece of paper representing the 5 pages I have to type. Then I write a subject word for what each paragraph will be about with a little box next to it that I get to check off later. Things don’t always go to plan...

tonight we're gonna party
me: Do you remember lying in bed thinking what partying would be like in 1999?
Wonder: YES! lol
and then when it happened, it was so lame
it was like we were waiting for the world to end or something
me: I know. It was the let-down before the Y2K let-down
Yawns all around
Wonder: yep

AA dream
A guy that looked like Danny DeVito and I were hiding in a house while a thunderstorm ripped some shit outside. After it all blew over, we went to a diner. The owner approached us very upset. Apparently we left our Asian baby in the diner all week.
I went over to the kid, who was spaced out. I snapped my fingers in front of its face until it finally blinked. Full of guilt, I snatched up my baby...

mom was all over the internet yesterday
mom: Hot or not just contacted me. I am the top hit in my age group! :-) Just wanna thank you for getting me out there!

me: not really. Congratulations!
mom: Thx I just won my age category for the most hits thanks to my #1 daughter! PARTEE LIKE A ROCK STAR
me: lean like a cholo momma
“It’s a free world, I can share any vimeos I want. I’m off work and...”

me: trust me, I'm a liar
Heather: haha

Where it’s perfectly socially acceptable for men to grow their fingernails out really long and use them to pick up stuff and manipulate things. - In high school I took German. We’d get together with the other classes and play German Scrabble every other Friday. Well there was this one guy in the class above mine who had these really long fingernails. While he was thinking, he would...

AA dream
My sister, Katie, and I were riding around on a moped. I was sitting on the handlebars and she was driving. Katie kept going faster and faster. She was pretty much out of control with the thrill of speed. I was screaming, “Whoa” as if she were a horse, right up until she wrecked us into a chain link fence. After that I was pissed.
We ended up going to some sort of church service where...
school loans
sweett:OFFICIALLY PAID OFF! now, if i could just get my employer to stop taking it out of my check… (they’re waiting on the letter from the loan company). Only seven more payments and I’ll have my loan paid off. Then I’ll be swimming in riches ala Scrooge McDuck.

I don't wear this ugly tie anymore →
“Some guy yelled from his car, Who did you get that tie from, Matlock? I laughed at the time because it sounded funny, but now that I think about it, I’m confused. Was Matlock known for his ugly ties? How could a TV lawyer win court cases wearing an ugly tie? Clearly this heckler has watched a lot of Matlock episodes, because who else would equate ugly ties with Andy Griffith? I think...
I have a compulsion to learn other people’s handwriting. Not just to recognize it, but to actually learn how they make their letters. So if someone writes me a note, I will automatically start tracing and retracing their letters. I try to imagine what it would feel like to form my letters that way all the time. Sometimes, it lets me in on aspects of their personality because I’ll...

(via cosmopsis) Unbelievable. “Mom, Kansas made the news again!”
five facts about me
I wish my parents would have named me Agnes. In nearly two years, my boyfriend and I have had one fight, and it lasted a total of 20 min. Reading text aloud, even alone, induces panic attacks if I don’t actively relax. However, public speaking and performing for audiences is one of my favorite activities. I am overly violent and do tons of drugs in my dreams, but consider myself pretty...
tracking in the seat
islebehere: maybe they moved in together
and they're both living in his momma's basement now

islebehere: eewwwww
me: sagging and worn out. Holes in places
islebehere: blech!
me: tracking in the seat
islebehere: SHUT UP!
me: what's that called again? i honestly can't remember
islebehere: SKID MARKS
over the past few days
Over the past few days, I have found men (like typical 30-50 year-old men) very interesting. I’ve been most interested in their motivations and insecurities. I’m not buying the simple, cliched answers. It’s very distracting.
“man, she’s good! is she an actress?”
– (my dad), after watching Andrea in these videos. (via sweett) Those two vimeos seem to be my most popular. I always compare what I’m doing now to those videos. Are they as good or better? Usually the answer is no, and that makes me reluctant to upload. I’m feeling another lip dub coming...
confessions
I have developed a huge crush on Quark, the Ferengi, from Star Trek DS9. Pretty much all Ferengi, actually. Schroberts and I Grok the word Grok and used it today. I’m having trouble choosing between netflixing X-Files or Star Trek TNG next. I really wish Kyle Busch would have wrecked his car so Tony Stewart would have won.
Ach!

When thinking about getting married (no plans yet) I’m not sure I want to change my last name — at least not in my professional life. It sounds like a big, expensive hassle with no reward. What’s the point? I think I feel threatened by the idea of giving up something I’ve associated with my identity for my entire life. I mean, you have to learn a new signature and...
“I’m really glad Jakob Lodwick is blogging again, but doesn’t it seem...”
