Never Established

So, um, yeah stuff.

May have gotten asked out without realising it until after I said no. Felt quite bad about that, it’s true. He’s a nice guy but I’m not really wanting to do relationships and I just don’t feel enough chemisty to be able to justify getting any way involved. And he doesn’t seem like the type to be able to have a ‘thing’ without it being an ‘official’ thing, if that makes sense.

But I have drawn up my mottos for life:

Kat’s Simple 3 Step Guide For A Woman To Live The Good Life

1. Seduce Yourself Regularly

Not [exactly] in physical terms, but more to do with the idea of being nice to yourself. Buy flowers for yourself, don’t be afraid to go to the movies alone, buy chocolates and take yourself out on dates. Realistically, how can you expect anyone else to love you if you don’t love yourself?

2. Be Selfish

The word selfish has a lot of negative connotations, but what I’m talking about here is thinking about yourself before others. It sounds stupid but I [and a lot of other girls] have issues with putting other people first all the time. If work calls me in, I don’t say no. Friends come to my room at 2, I don’t say no. Ultimately, you need to at some point say, “Fuck that! My life is about me, and I’m allowed to think it.”

3. Act Rationally

A little more practical than the other two, but perhaps more important at the same time. Based of an economic principle [don't hate it for all that!], it’s basically the idea that if you want something, you won’t do something else that would stop you from getting it. For example, if a person wanted to get a good grade for a class, it would be irrational for them to simply not do any work. Or if a person wanted to lose weight, it would be irrational for them to eat crap and do no excercise. Define your goals and when you do something, ask yourself if it’s rational? And if not, is it worth it?

Because I are too tired to think of one, okay?

Worked tonight, and while I have tomorrow off [Yay!], I still have class at 11 [Boo!], and then work all weekend. Including Sunday. Yeah, you heard me. Work finds it so difficult not to see me for more than 24 hours that they’re willing to pay me Weekend Rates, which brings me up to — what? — about $25 an hour. Which takes me to the railroad and all my live long life and I honestly don’t know why I just typed that.

Heee hee, yeah I’m tired. So my week is going thusly; Monday — School, Tuesday — School, Wednesday — Work, Thursday — School [And catch up on Study], Friday — Work, Saturday — Work, Sunday — Work, Monday — School, Tuesday — School, and probably Wednesday — Work.

I swear, weekends once meant not working. Maybe I’m just going crazy, but I remember when they meant not working…

Will study tomorrow. And clean my room. And do my white laundry.

Note to self: Must study tomorrow.

How many days in the week are there?

Now tell me, when you’re expected to work 4 days a week, to be in class 2 and a half days a week, to go out with your friends at least twice a week, and to study another 2 days a week –

— how many days does that add up to?

Oh god. Whimper busy. Not just busy, note, but whimper busy. It all started on Wednesday night, when I had to work from 5pm. Everything went swimmingly until about 11:30, when I jammed my pinky finger between a table and a doorframe. It swelled and went blue within seconds. I had to sit with it on ice until about 12:00, then I got to go home [at least I got paid for that time!]. Anyway, I was supposed to work the next day, so it went like this:

Next morning:

1) Get up
2) Go to doctor
3) Wait at doctors for approximately 45 minutes before being seen
4) Have a two minute consultation with doctor
5) Get sent to X-ray [conveniently right around the corner]
6) Wait for X-ray for 45 minutes
7) See doctor again
Get told what I already know; it’s not broken [Personally, don't think she was a very good doctor, lol.]
9) Run to get home because I have 20 minutes before I’m supposed to work.
10) Work.
11) Finish work at 12:30
11a) Don’t get to sleep until 4.
12) Friday: Wake up at 9am
13) Go to Shopping Centre for some supplies.
14) Run back and have shower.
15) Go to make-up french class [that I missed by going to the doctor's on Thursday.]
16) Come home. Eat lunch.
17) Take an hour’s nap.
18) Get ready for ball.
19) Go to ball.
19a) Skipping some points, basically party party.
20) Saturday: Work at 4pm.
21) Now home. Must catch up on stuffs. Like the french assignment due.

Also, work = sore feet.

…I’d forgotten that.

So, it’s not really a ‘new’ band for me, since I’ve been listening to them for a couple of months now, but The Sounds is a band I got into through a friend of mine and I am officially addicted to them. They’re great melodies for that, I’m young, I’m free and I’m going to make the most of it sort of vibe. It’s my, “I’m going to be independant and I don’t need men” anti-commitment anthem, which is swell. Hee. Personaly favourites are: Rock’N'Roll, Reggie, Hit Me! and Like a Lady [the lyrics of the latter are below.]. Rock’n'Roll, in particular, makes me want to party my life away and never stay in one place too long, hehe.

Talking smooth and play by the rules, like a lady.
Well hang on loose and always stay cool, like a lady
Listen to the songs and learn to sing along, on the radio, radio.
Got fire in my eyes and boys on my mind, they come and go, they come and go.

Kiss every man while you still can, like a lady.
Then pull your self up and dance ´til you drop, I´m your baby, baby.
Listen to the songs and learn to sing along, on the radio, radio.
Got fire in my eyes and boys by my side, they´re mine you know.

Tonight! My baby, we got a love so strong, let the beat go on.
It´s alright! My baby, if it feels so good then it can´t be wrong.

Mmm…sleepy and sick. What an attractive combination, I must say. Okay, so it took me over a week to post again and I suck, but I promise I am here just, y’know, not goodly. >.> Was going to go to manly today but I am too cheap and too sick to do so, and instead I’ll sit around and maybe watch this movie that the girls were talking about. Apparently it’s not bad, but I don’t know it’s name, lol, so I’ll need help finding it.

Um…the cleaner here kind of creeps me out and I wish I had strong, macho males to protect me when he’s around, which technically I guess I do since I live opposite one but he and I have are kind of awkward around each other — we’re just not close enough for me to use him to scare away cleaners. Le sigh.

And I was a little tipsy/drunk last night, which probably has somethign to do with the fact that I barely ate yesterday and then drank on top of being sick. [Bad idea.] But I got to bed safely, after obnoxiously messaging  several people — I’m just glad I didn’t post anywhere public. Hmm.

So I am now back at college, and while not yet completely in full swing I am definately at least a little swing-like. I’ve moved in quite a bit, still have some basic tidying to do, but for the most part it’s quite okay, and my room is somewhat decorated although I’d still like to have a little more on my walls, just to brighten it up a bit.

College is still fun although I miss my girls like crazy. They’ve all gone back to America and I can’t wait to see them. I’m thinking about seeing whether I can add New York in somewhere because I need to see Ashley and Amanda, because those two are amazing.

Also, it’s the first of the month and a full moon. There must be some sort of significance to that somewhere, surely?

I have been working on my writing site, I promise. ‘Course I need to speak to Alan about some things first. But I promise I don’t suck completely…yet. >.>
