so I feel that it may be time to make an entry.

Last weekend was my Format trip and it was so much fun, except for when my moms car got smashed, and when Gillians toes got smashed.

I really want to go to the Chicago show on Saturday, but I honestly just can't afford it and I have done enough fairly irrational things that I cannot afford recently.

At least I stopped shopping.

I am at an interesting place in a certain friendship of mine. Someone that I have liked for a long time and someone who I have been friends with for two years that I very much so respect and enjoy, we ended up making out this weekend. I don't think that he thinks it is a mistake. I asked if it was one of those "flukey, one time, didn't really mean for it to happen" kinda things and he said no so that is good. Now I am just nervous because I am one of those people who are really great at getting their hopes up.

In other news I woke up 2 minutes before I needed to leave for work this morning, thank God I woke up, but ew...I didn't get to shower. My supervisor mentioned that my hair "looked a little flat"

Tomorrow we move cubicals, I will miss our current lay out, but I am so close to where I used to be, and Bill is still across from me. Just now we share the high wall and I will have to walk around the row to get INTO his cube. I think I can cope with that though.

I think that I want to start running again. After next week I go back to working only till 6 so that leaves a lot more options open for me. To join a gym or not? I think that I should. We are looking into all going to RIT together. I really do not mind paying at all. I think it will be well worth it, because I know that I will probably always be able to sucker someone into coming with me.

So my parents are in Hawaii and I recently moved out so we are still working on getting situated...for example most of my clothes are still at my parents, because we are still waiting on our washer and dryer.

While my parents are gone I am watching our dog Buttons, she is about 10 and evidently does not like it very much at my place because even though I have been letting her outside more than we do at my parents she has been peeing on the floor (which she only does when she is mad at us). This also means that I really can't bring her anywhere else with me, because I am not trusting her not to do it wherever I bring her!

I decided to come to my parents last night and stay here all day so I can do laundry and let the dog chill out here and stuff...great idea right?!

WRONG!

My sister called me earlier this week because my parents got a new fridge and there was some kind of flood and it flooded my bathroom and my bedroom, so my clothes were all wet yata yata (the other reason I needed to come home to do laundry and assist with the clean up)

I had no idea to what extent of flood we were talking about until I got downstairs, because this flood happened...Wednesday I believe and I went home Friday night to discover that the ceiling tiles were totally ruined and collapsed and the floors were SOAKING wet...and my sister who had discovered it clearly had been running the carpet cleaner on suction only over it before. It really was a disaster.

Now I am in the process of drying all of my clothes and deciding what to do with all of them since I am moving too.

I really hope that the washer and dryer come soon because I need to wash stuff and I am trying to stay with my dog as much as possible! I already feel like a bad pet owner because when Squishy moved to my new place I didn't fasten one of the compartments on her cage all the way and she seemed to have pried it apart because the lid was just laying on the table that her cage sits on.

Also, I forgot to mention that I can't really stay at my parents house because all the water is shut off. I can't shower or do laundry or flush the toilet or....pretty much anything that a normal person needs to do to function.

Going out in the limo was a great time. I love Buffalo...what a fun city.

I think I should be a researchy mcresearcher and find out what city in California seems to FEEL about the same. I mean really...I guess the face that it is California isn't the most essential thing. I guess I just associate nice weather and California.

I really do like the feel of this city though.

We got our makeup done, I felt like I wasn't myself for about two minutes, and then I realized that it doesn't matter what the hell I look like because I always look different.

I do attempt to look a lot more natural than that too.

There we are! I love my best friends.

My car got towed this weekend while we were at a bar and they agreed to split it with me so I didn't have to pay for it all.

I have the best friends ever, I am so lucky

words cannot describe SXG.

But this narrates a fairly long portion of it

http://peeon.org/


we own it!

O man, he wants to go out again. O man...go me.


haha.

I went over to say that I had a lot of fun and wanted to know if he wanted to go out again sometime and he said yes! I suggested a competetive game of mini golf and that the loser could buy the winner a drink.

He agreed that was a good idea, but did seem SLIGHTLY more interested in going to play a round of real golf. I told him that I took lessons when I was little, but that it would be pathetic and this point. I would be up for it though, I think it would be fun...it's just...not for a 1st/2nd date.

First outside of the office sorta date. I guess thought it was since he drove and offered to pay and all. O man, this is so cool. I never thought this would happen.

In other news, I am going to Pittsburg this weekend for SXE and that should be great. I am very excited for the next 24 minutes to be done and for my weekend!

Then next week I am going sailing with Rooney and his mom and step dad. I am pumped to lay around and drink and relax the whole time. His mom is the best person on the planet I think, so that makes it even MORE exciting.

Jess told me today that she can always count on me to make her laugh. That felt nice. I really feel appreciated and understood here. It's like they actually think my quirky-ness is good, but they still totally respect me as an intelligent "business woman" as well. I have to put it in quotes because I am the "young lady" around here sorta deal. I think mostly that they see that with time I could grow into a force to be reconned with (evil laugh)

O man, date commensed today. It was great, I mean I guess it wasn't anything to say "THAT WAS SO FREAKIN AMAZING" about, but I couldn't have asked for it to go any differently.

We seem to get along really well and there were no awkward pauses or breaks in conversation, even after I word vomitted about how I have had a crush on him since the second day of work.

He said he thinks he is more strange than I am because of his nature...I suppose it may be true, but I think we will go out again. I hope so anyways.

I came back and got bombarded with everyone asking how it was, and needing details. Bill said that he heard someone talking to Jess about it and so I had to go ask who she was talking to and she laughed and told me this story.

her phone rings, it is Randy (her boss, so my boss' boss) and he was one of the only people in the office that didn't know this was all going on. So she picks up and hears..."why is Kate getting out of Luke Lufts car" hahaha, which is just so hallarious if you knew Randy and I can totally just imagine him saying it.

So she is like I have nothing to do with this, she is on her lunch, and so he just says "hmmm mid day joy ride huh?"


I wish...

O man, I cannot get over how excited I am.

I am going out to "lunch" with Luke tomorrow. I say "lunch" because we are going at 4:30 which is around my normal break time, but it is when he leaves.

I just got slammed at work, but I am glad because now it is over. O man...I am so excited.

Usually when I have a crush on someone once I get to know them I am dissapointed and like them less, but with him...the more I interact with him the more I like him.

I was right...Limbeck does sing about Rochester NY

heeeey kate.
good call. yes it is.
we spent way too long there, and robb bought the old fender amp that he uses now. yep, it's a reallll good stop for old equipment. the only bummer is the staff there isn't exactly helpful. the price you gotta pay, i guess!

is the house of guitars a reference to the shop in Rochester NY?

Because I have never seen another house of guitars and it is pretty famous...right?

keep this




I believe it is close to perfect

Damn straight.

So I have come across the 8pm dilema.

It was busy from 5-6 so I didn't get to pee and I have 10 minutes left and I sorta feel like I am going to explode.

I am pretty sure that I won't, but just in case if I am found in 100 pieces inside my cube...

This is why

Today I am not in the mood to update, perhaps it is because I don't have much to say.

I am tired

I am going to take a bath and paint my toenails tonight, and I should also color my hair because it is busted.

The end

hooray! I passed my test.


Go me, I am now liscenced in life, accident, and health insurance for NYS. Sweet....a good well rounded skill to have I supppose.

I have officially 9 minutes left untill my weekend starts, and man what a weekend it shall be!

I get to see Gillie, and Limbeck and Chicago and I get to meet Jerry and enjoy the sunshine and awesomeness with two of the best people around: Gillian and Rooney.

I am also really tired, because I didn't sleep much last night, I am also sick feeling because I haven't eaten anything in err.... 29 hours? No ones fault but my own, it was the nerves about the test and the excitement about the trip, and perhaps a bit of the meds that I took in honor of my test.

I wonder if I hadn't taken them, what would have happend because let me tell you it was difficult to concentrate.

They had super "buzzy" computers with shaking screens and processors you could hear....then they had the count down ticket which showed you how much time you had left (which was not a concern for me, but still distracting) and they take a picture of you to go on the screen so the proctor knows that it is still you taking the exam.

If that isn't distracting I don't know what is.

I am just so glad that it is over and that I can move forward past this sorta "looming concern"

CHICAGO HERE I COME! In like....hours and hours and hours

I am at work, and it is now slow. We have a group voicemail, but I don't know how to check it. I must ask tomorrow.

So one of my big things that is so stressful, but also one of the things I love is how you can be swamped with things and feel like you are getting no where with any of them and then all of a sudden within half an hour all the information comes pouring in and you get to "check check check" down your list and resolve issues.

That made me sound realllllly dorky.

In other news, my tattoo is itching, but I have been attempting to ignore it.

This weekend our plans for Chicago and Limbeck are unfolding nicely it seems. Gillian is going to come to Rochester for thursday night and then we are going to get up to go to Chicago!

Here is where things get tentative...Rooney (hopefully) is coming and he says we can stay his best friends house who lives about 2 hours South. Orsyla, if she ever calls me might be coming with us as well because she is in Ohio along the way, and I think she would be a great addition to our trip.

I really hope this happens, and I do want passengers because they can help me a little with gas and maybe a place to sleep and both of those things are helpful.

If nothing else I get to see Gillie on thursday.

Back to finish up work.

I got my second tattoo!!

I love it! I am so happy with it, and so far so good with the healing.

The picture does look a little gross because it has all that antibacterial ointment stuff on it.

For those that do not know, this is what it is of.




I should post it on their LJ thing, but they do not have a community...just some REALLY active commenters



That photo is huge...please forgive me

Boston was this weekend.




Sean walked in on Gillian peeing.

I didn't get to see Anita and talk about shoes

They played Swans in Rochester.

Next week I believe I am going to be working 9-6.

Life is good.

No.

Life is GREAT

I am at work, and Jen went on lunch with her new team, so I sat with lena for a while and then she left so I came back to my desk.

I want to go to the ultimate frat party...I realized that I have never even BEEN to a frat party, none the less a good one?!?

Some day....it may happen

Tonight we are goig to the salvation army to look for costumes for the Heroes and Villians party. Then I don't know.

There are moving issues. Turns out Tim isn't coming home until fall and Rooney doesn't know what he wants to do, and Andrew might take his room and I don't want him to live there either.

and...I don't know when I am going to move out if I don't have roommates. I cannot stand home until "undisclosed time"

not acceptable.

In other news in 1 week from today I will be playing sports with my work and then I will be driving to Boston and Gillian and Bob and ?Teresa?... in any case awesomeness is in store

my job is going really well... I like it a lot, but I am soooo tired!

I got my hair cut!



there it is!

ok so yea, we got denied access to the Men Women and Children show. That was a bummer, but seeing Gillian and waffle house with Bob was excellent

best statement ever

gdjgdjxcc!!

marko looks wiked silly.
and seriously,
nate and the radiantly white colored teeth?
a play on jesus and and the amazing technicolor dreamboat(a really bad play).

thank you briana... I love fellow format fans

work was awesome by the way. I am so excited about my future. I love my mentor, she is great, and I hope everything continues as wonderful as today.

tomorrow I go to corporate to do health care stuff...and maybe get my ID taken, must look pretty!
