I CANNOT GET ENOUGH

mika. mika, mika, mika you are wonderful and terrible at the same time. do not ask me what is terrible about you, other than the sugary sweet lyrics, but good lord i want more.  can i please get a dance remix of all your songs? i want to have a silent, personal dance party in my closet via my ipod with you.  yes, this is normal.

OH WOE IS MY ROOMMMATES

issues! working through it! slowly but surely! lots of stress! and money stress, too! we're diversified in our stressers here at katie, ltd. money, people, people, school, midterms, feminism and the plight of the planet feed on her conscience every. single. day! what a way to live! so step right up and get a piece of it. go on, ask me a question. i'll give you an answer that is choked out through the tears.

NO I WILL NOT CARRY YOUR CHILD TO THE TRAIN

i have been having some weird dreams lately. recently, the psychotope has been converging into the same geographies and i just have different dreams in the same setting. it's totally weird and i don't know what that says about me. i wake up in a pool of sweat and sometimes crying. back to the stress!

I THINK I'M HOME, HOME IS WHEREVER I'M WITH YOU

i am so very far from home right now. as much as DC has grown on me, i can't shake how much i dislike every brick here. i wanna ride amtrak right to my house. now. please.

WE INTERRUPT YOUR BROADCASTING FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

i would like to tell everyone that i have the best boyfriend ever. i did not receive a surprise present in the mail, i did not receive any declarations of absolute undying love, i did not even get a teddy bear! and i like it that way. so deal with it.


IN OTHER NEWS

i have no clue what's going on with my life. do you know what's going on with my life? please kindly send me an email or message with details if you know.


OH LORDY SHE IS DOING IT AGAIN

i love christmas music. carols, especially. i never felt the aversion that most of my friends feel to these songs, and it has officially grown into true love for this music. a couple days ago, i watched Frozen River and got all in the mood for the desolation of winter and christmas and started to listen to carols on my ipod. maybe i'm pathetic, but i'm also happy. i want to go to new hope and not purchase a single thing other than a dinner. i love rubbernecking on people's holiday high. i want to purchase a ridiculous dress from the vintage shop and parade around in it.  "grandma chic," that's what i call it.

YE OLDE SWITCHEROO

i traded rooms with my roommate (i formerly lived in the living room, she had the bedroom; we paid equal rent) and now i have my own cozy burrow to stockpile all the useless junk i acquire.  my bed is still comfortable (thanks to nemo's insistence. i am terribly stubborn when it comes to purchasing things i could actually use, or investments. but, cigarettes and coffee drinks?!?! count me in!)

FUTURAMA

did i ever tell you i want to own a business? well i want to own a business. i've got the idea all written out, plans and all. you can't know because the shit ain't copyrighted. fer all i know, you'll steal it! i can't trust you, internet. you're a good friend, but sometimes ... well, sometimes you bombard me with porn, and what kind of friend does that?!?! like i said, i can't trust you.

KATIE OUT.

SET THE LASER TO HYPER-KAT

Kittens! Lauren has kittens! I held kittens! MAY I REPEAT THAT I HELD NO LESS THAN FOUR PURRING KITTENS. And now I'm feeling sniffly.

IN WHICH KATIE GOES OUT ON THE TOWN

Allentown has interesting things going for it and against it. Considering my state of sleep-deprived delerium, it is not appropriate for me to enumerate these lists at this time, but I am having fun navigating it all while working at city hall. 

THE POWERS GRANTED ONLY THROUGH GOVERNMENT INTERNSHIPS

1. Cold-Calling: "Hello! This is Katie calling from Joyce's office in City Hall, how are you? Oh, it's good to hear that someone's able to see through this gross weather we've been having! Now, I'm calling to ask you a couple questions about community gardening. My project for the summer is to create and promote community gardens in Allentown - do you have a minute?"

2. Leaving Awkward Phone Messages To Recent Acquaintances: "Hi, Pete! It's Katie! I hope you enjoyed last night's film as much as I did. Uhm ... wait - yeah! Gardens! Would it be possible to get a tour of the 7th Street garden sometime? I know we've been having gross weather recently, but gardens wait for no one! Haha ... ha. *cough*  Uhm ... oh, and I also wanted to talk to you about Park(ing) Day so, uhm, well I guess I can just email you about that. So, uh, sorry to call you so early! Oh, wow, it's actually eleven, well. Uhm. HAVE A NICE DAY OK BYE."

3. Annexing Unused Office Space: I FOUND AN EMPTY CUBICLE AND I SQUATTED OK.

4. Boundless, Bottomless, Effusive Enthusiasm For Things Coworkers Consider Mundane: "Katie, here's a book you should read, I think. Now, I know zoning law can be kind of dry-" "Oh, no! I don't think that at all! It's all about the most necessary fabric of a city! It's so important! Can I ... uhm ... how long can I keep the book? I want to take notes." "Well, um, as long as you need ... are you sure you want to take notes?"

5. Achieving Data Entry Zen: "Heya, Katie. Uh, are you, like, doing something right now?" (I am clearly dialing a phone number) "No, Matt, whatcha need?" "Well, there's just this data entry that needs to get done, for the Main Streets program." "Oh, yeah!" "Uh, ok, I'll just leave the stuff here." (Proceed to enter Data Entry Bliss to the sound of clacking keys and DeVotchKa).

OH NO YOU DI'INT OH WAIT YOU JUST DID SORRY

Dear Goodwill shoppers - I am sorry that I don't necessarily need to shop at Goodwill and that I do it anyway. The deals are JUST TOO GOOD and the clothes are JUST TOO AWESOME and, frankly, I'm not making enough money to justify spending 40 dollars on a shirt at Anne Taylor. Or 40 dollars on jeans that just stretch out at Gap. I picked up two pairs of earrings today for two dollars and DAMN IF I DON'T FEEL AWESOME FOR IT. Sorry, again.

HINDSIGHT 20/20


all it ever takes for me to realize how much i dislike school is a trip back to allentown.  this weekend was so jam packed with interviews, events, meetups, gatherings of friends and urban exploration that it's hard to believe i've only been home for what, 72 hours? 


72 hours and i've got two, maybe three internships (YOU PEOPLE, PAY ME MONEY SO I CAN EAT, SHEESH) and a plan to gruella/vigilante clean up the city and organize the twentrysomethings into, um, something. 


OH THE OPPRESSIVE ALLENTOWN HEAT


it got HOT out there, folks. i don't know if you go outside much, but i don't. i am more of a "bury myself under sweaters and sit in my basement pretending the sun doesn't exist" type. unfortunately, my interests draw me into the burning glare of a star ready to expand and eat my planet (something i have feared since i learned about it in elementary school. no i have not seen "sunshine"). things like gardening, walking, biking, swimming and generally getting from place to place require i come out of the dungeon and see the sun. 


and damn if the sun didn't know i was coming out today. hello, 90 degrees. hello and go to hell. 


DAN AUERBACH IS INCREDIBLE 


it is true. i am listening to the new record.

BIG SURPRISE - IT IS FINALS AND I AM UNHAPPY

my favorite professor is retiring and i do not like that. hopefully i will keep in touch with her. hopefully in a not creepy way. hopefully she would like to keep in touch with me too? i think this would work best if this "staying in contact" stuff were reciprocal. i dunno. prolly.

LESBIA-WHA?

everybody on the magazine staff thinks i'm a lesbian now. except christina but that is because she knows me. we talked queer politics and queer history and queer parenting. i am just writing a paper on this stuff. after i checked lots of books out of the LGBT library, emma called across the room, "oh, are you experimenting?" and i was all, "not really i am just writing a paper" and she was all "that's cool." and her boyfriend didn't notice.

by the way, if you know any way to get in contact with lesbian moms-to-be and their partners, HOOK ME UP. i wanna interview them because they are super interesting.

another development of the discussion is the realization that about 100% (a rough estimate) of the boys i found attractive/were crushworthy in the club are mos def gay. daaaaayum.

IN WHICH BULIMIA BECOMES A VIABLE OPTION AND POSSIBLY A SOLUTION

i got a cake for my roommate's birthday and damn if i didn't think it was going to be delicious and cut myself a huge slice. it was, like, a bazillion-layer chocolate cake. it was gross. it was too chocolatey and i did not want it but i could not stop eating it because i do not like to waste things. i felt like that kid in matilda who's forced to eat the cake in front of the whole school. at the end of it all there was an internal debate on whether to hit the "evacuate" button for that brick of cake in my tummy. i felt sur'usly ill. too bad i got distracted and decided it best to leave things be. oh well. crippling eating disorders, maybe we'll meet again some other day.
