Oh my goodness!!! I'm going to Chile over winter break and I absolutely can't wait. We leave two days after finals and get back December 30th. That means I'll only be home for like three days of winter break, which is super sad, but that's ok, because I'll be in Chile!!!!! I get five spanish credits for going, and the cost is equal to that of five credits, meaning the Chile part is free...kinda. I'll learn so much Spanish, and I'll do it in the cool way, not the silly Senora Alexander way. We'll also being doing lots of volunteer work with homeless kids and orphanages and stuff, which will just be wonderful and a great experience. Gosh I can't wait:) :) :)

My Tattoo!!!!!

Thu, 15 Sep 2005 03:04:24 GMT

Yesterday I got a tattoo :). I've been thinking about it for awhile, and was going to wait until I got to Seattle so I could get one with my step sister, but on Monday I decided I wanted it now. Whenever I've thought about getting a tattoo, I always wanted it to be meaningful, I just never really knew what kind of meaningful thing I would want imprinted on my body forever! I was just brainstorming for awhile and decided that I wanted something that reminded me of the type of person I wanted to be. I thought lots and eventually came up with "may love define my life." Lately I've just been ridiculously self-involved, and gotten pretty tired of it. I use to have a desire for my life to be about more than just me, because how fun can that be? I don't really know what happened but at some point I really lost that, and now I want that back. I want to be the kind of person who is truly kind to people. I want to be the type of person to cares for others not because it's the nice thing to do, but because I realize that someone is human and deserves respect. There are so many things in life that tear people down, and I don't want to be one of them. I want to be someone who makes people feel comfortable with who they are. And I figure having a reminder of this permantently marked on my body will help me remember:). It's in arabic, solely because that's a pretty language and on the back of my neck under my hair line (i went for a what i hope to be fairly unique spot!). Basically I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!!!! Since yesterday there have been approx. 30 incidents where I have stopped what I was doing, fanned myself, jumped up and down, and in a very girly voice exclaimed "OH MY GOSH I HAVE A TATTOO!!!!" :)

Robert Elder pointed out to me that "fat bottomed girls" is a song about me because according to everyone i'm fat, and according to my sweet, loving boyfriend (Adam Sander Luchini) I'm a whore. (this sounds harsh but he has the evidence of me having both herpes and SUPERAIDS and only slutty people can obtain SUPERAIDS)

There are a number of fat jokes my friends use in order to point out my excessive body mass, and some times I forget certain ones. One of these hadn't been used for a rather long time until yesterday. We were in Troche's class and volunteering for pieces of literature to facilitate. About half way through the list, in reference to Jonathon Swift's Modest Proposal, Troche said, "who would like to eat babies?" (the subject of his Modest Proposal). Immediately a couple boys pointed to me and said "Kayla!" Now, most fat jokes simply confuse people becaues it's taboo for boys to call girls fat. However, the concept of eating human babies is slightly more offensive. Troche's and the class's confusion at why I would be so closely affiliated with the concept of eating babies was quite entertaining. thx boys.

The end:)

i like happy things :) :) :)

i feel like everyone's been having problems lately. this makes me so super :(. i mean i really have a tendency to be naive and not get stuff, but i really don't remember us having so many issues back before everyone graduated. but again, i just don't pick up on stuff a lot. i mean alex scott boettcher got a little irritated, and that guy is so laid back and never gets angry so something's gotta be wrong. this makes me :(. it just seems like we're so bad at dealing with stuff. if someone has a problem with someone they should confront them with it, work it out and get over it (taking the other persons feelings into consideration). and when people do unhappy things, as their friends, we should talk to them about it and be there for them rather then deciding to hate them for it. i mean, not everybody has to love each other and give each other flowers and hugs and happy pretty things all the time (although that would be way supercool), i just feel like as friends we owe each other a little more effort. iono, i just generally like it when everyone is all feel-bettery and more get-alongy.

basically, to fix everything i think we just need to have a giant girly night where we bake, watch the ultimate happy movie over and over again (if you odn't know what movie i'm talking about we're obviously not very good friends), and cry a lot. this is generally the answer to any problem ever. i mean, if George W. Bush had done this every time confronted with an issue, he would know how to handle stuff and everyone would be voting for him in this election.

also, super random rant: for anyone who preaches tolerance, i think it's super hypocritical to condemn others for their intolerance and then proceed to hate them simply for their political views or 'lack of intelligence' as you may see it. maybe i'm wrong, but i thought that tolerance meant that even if someone holds different values than you, you can still treat them the same even though you disagree. but iono, i could just be crazy, i mean, all i really know about is baking and stuff:)

ok. all done with silly girl entry. my next entry will include extra baking and knitting to make up for this one:)

Generally, I'm not very good at this livejournal thing. I haven't updated in like forever:(. However, I am about to make up for it with the most exciting livejournal entry ever.

First, though, I have to talk about the super fun gift I recieved this morning. Okay, so last night white Alex told me that he was going to give me a gift in the morning. He said that part of it would make me super happy, but the other part would make me wanna slap him. This morning he took me out to his car and handed me a plastic container with some gooey chunky stuff inside. He told me it was cobbler which made me way super excited because I LOVE cobbler. Then I was like "so what's the bad part?" and then he handed me a piece of paper and said "here's the recipe now make me more of this, woman." Now honestly, why would he think that I would slap him for this? Any girl in her right mind dreams every day of a moment like this where a man not only asks her to make him something but orders her to get into the kitchen. omg alex loescher you made my day. actually the thing i'm about to write about made my day, but you did make my morning:) and I will try to bake you cobbler very soon:)

okay, so other exciting thing. today when my benemy and i ta'd for pb, we had to go find forms to start a club becaues the lovely erin davis is starting a French club. We had to go to like five different places to find the forms and somewhere along the way I remembered an ingenious idea I once had. This idea was to start club that revolved around baking!!!! not just a baking club, but a "Future Housewives Club." Unfortunately, it may have to be called just the baking club so i can use it on college applications,hehe, but even if that happens it will be a wellknown fact that the club is to prepare girls with the essential skills it takes to be a woman. that means not only baking, but sewing and cleaning too!!!! All of my favorite things in life are going to be combined into one amazing club, and maybe I'll even be able to show some girls the evils of feminism, and they'll realize that they'd be happier if they just accepted their inferiority to men. Then instead of wasting their time at school, they could just bake and clean and sew all day!!!! I seriously don't remember the last time I was this excited. oh my goodness. :) :) :) :)

So I'm in California, looking at colleges, and it's beautiful and super pretty, and I went to Disneyland, which was sooo much fun. I bought lots of Little Mermaid stuff such as a watch, and I even got a disney princess mouse pad, so i'll fit in even better at lans:) but the thing i miss most by far is playing coh. i remember whne i was fourth best at the game, but now everyone's probably ahead me. even adam, who apparently doesn't like the game has probably passed me by now. i've never been so angry/embarrassed/sad in my life:( i even start school adn work supersoon after i get back:( i would really super hope that some of you very kind higher level people.....alex/jj/david..would be kind enough to maybe pwr lvl me a bit:) pretty please...i'll bake you lots of things and even totally let you cuddle with adam lots. which brings me to another point...i haven't been in a kitcfhen in almost a week. i'm about to cry:(. oh well, there are pretty beaches ,pretty campuses and peter pan hugs:) and the highlight of today was at breakfast at the beautiful hotel when i was eating an amazing FREE breakfast when something wet dripped on my lip and on to my hand and i assumed it was water and just about licked it off my lip when i looked down to find it to be a brownish white color which is most certainly not the color of water:(. being very surprised i jumped up and began screaming/flailing/jumping and had many many higher-class businessmen looking people laughing hystericdally at me. wonderful.

My first angsty post :)

Wed, 25 Aug 2004 10:11:02 GMT

So apparently my lj is causing problems in my most important relationship; the one with Erin May Davis, my benenemy. This makes me :( and full of all sorts of angst. She broke up with me, and I cried. But I can make it up to her with flowers and chocolates and poetry, so that makes me happy. I will also bake her many many pies.

On top of this, today I realized that I'm not going to get to play City of Heroes for approximatey 1.5 weeks. This is an even bigger disappointment. jk, Erin is my first love, followed closely by Folex, baking and CoH (the last three being in no particular order). But I really am bummed. I don't even know if I'll have time for a tf before I leave for California.

On a random note, last night Adam and I watched Kill Bill. A fair amount of my time is spent on an activity called City of Heroes, so it's on my mind often and I can't help making connections to it. In a scene where she's fighting lots and lots of dudes, I can't help but say "gee, she must have stamina" and "i wonder how many health points she lost on that move." Now, I would think any boy would be thrilled to have a girlfriend who would make this sort of connection to a movie, however, Adam isn't one of those boys. Pretty much any time I mention CoH around Jigz, he either rolls his eyes or tells me to shut up, or just hits me in face. Now there are plenty of occasions where girlfriends need beatings, however, this doesn't seem like one of them. We should instead celebrate this wonderful thing we have in common. I guess the the fact that I can't talk about my third favorite thing in hte world (first being Erin, second being baking) with my boyfriend, is just another thing that has made today an awful day.

Now, to end this angsty post with something less :(, I baked cookies a couple days ago and they were tasty:)

Today Cory im'd me saying I should start a livejournal. With a lack of other things to do, I took his advice and thought it would be an adventure to make it as pretty as possible:). I don't think I'll ever have anything interesting to write about, however, I'm an avid believer that appearance is much more important than content. This principle shapes much of my life, such as why I'm currently dating Adam Luchini. He's not a very interesting person, however he's one of the prettiest people I know. Being in the presence of his rugged good looks is well worth the very dull hours we spend together almost daily.

I don't really have anything else to say other than yesterday was an amazing day. I did my first task force, which only made me fall even more in love with City of Heroes, and it was followed by a wonderful girly night in N.W. Portland, which could have only been made better with baking and/or cleaning of some sorts.

the end of my first post:)
