8:18 am - Single again
|
Yep, again... I saw it coming, not like it's a surprise or anything. I guess I thought I'd be a little more prepared. And the funny thing is, is that I'm the one who did it. He needed more time and the relationships was just stressing him out. Ah, I've ripped out me own heart.
current mood:  sad

10:10 am - Birthday surprise!
|
Alex surprised me with a trip to Las Vegas for my birthday! He wouldn't even let me look at the ticket so I had no idea where we were going until we were at the gate. We stayed at the Bellagio for a night and saw their Cirque de Soleil show "O." It's an aquatic show with amazing things constantly going on. After that we walked all over the strip and Alex gambled at the roulette tables. When we got back to the hotel he had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting with a birthday card :). The next day we went back to Houston for the night. We got up the next morning and went to Lake Charles, LA to the L'auberge du Lac resort. He had set up a full spa treatment - couples full body massage, body exfoliation, facial, manicure, and pedicure. It felt amazing! After dinner we spent the rest of the night in our top floor suite ordering room service and just relaxing with each other. It was the best birthday I've ever had. I couldn't believe he had set all this up just for me. I have the best boyfriend in the world!

3:35 pm - Katie = Happy
|
So Alex... wonderful man that he is. Yes, Katie has a boyfriend *gasp*. And it's completely random as to how it began.
Alex and I went to high school together, both played sax in marching band, but he was a senior my freshman year. I always had a girlish crush on him but never acted upon it. I mean, c'mon, he was three years older than me. Okay, so fast forward 4 years. (Keep in mind I haven't seen him since he graduated.) He walks in to my work, Fish Daddy's, and we are stunned to see each other... not to mention ridiculously attracted to each other. He invites me to hang out at his house, drink some wine. We both had a great time so we decided to start dating. He treats me like a goddess divine, taking me out to wonderful places where we can both try new foods. We realized that each of us fits the others' perfect mate. Now we're not planning anything future-wise but we are "officially" dating. And we're gonna try long distance. He's in the Air Force and stationed in San Antonio, going to UT.(Not only do I get an awesome man, but one in uniform!!) Alex is amazing, in short. He is the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. And I'm loving every moment.
On another note, my family is moving to Chicago. My dad accepted a transfer with IBM and they want to be out by the end of September. Doesn't immediately affect me except that I won't be able to visit Austin as much as I'm used to unless I mooch off other people for a weekend. The cool thing is I do get to spend Christmas and New Year's in Chicago. White Christmases!! Finally! Anyways, it's still a lot to process. I'm trying to take it all in, seeing as all these moving things happened within the past two weeks.
And I get moved in this weekend. Anyone feel up to hauling furniture up a flight of stairs? lol. I'm oober excited to be getting back to Denton, but I will be sad to leave Alex, and my home. This is probably the last time I ever stay in this house... my home for the past 14 years. But the only constant in life is change right?

My first post in over a month and what do I put up? Voila!
| Your Five Variable Love Profile | 
Propensity for Monogamy:
Your propensity for monogamy is high.
You find it easy to be devoted and loyal to one person.
And in return, you expect the same from who you love.
Any sign of straying, and you'll end things.
Experience Level:
Your experience level is high.
You've loved, lost, and loved again.
You have had a wide range of love experiences.
And when the real thing comes along, you know it!
Dominance:
Your dominance is low.
This doesn't mean you're a doormat, just balanced.
You know a relationship is not about getting your way.
And you love to give your sweetie a lot of freedom.
Cynicism:
Your cynicism is medium.
You'd like to believe in true and everlasting love...
But you've definitely been burned enough to know better.
You're still an optimist, but you also are a realist.
Independence:
Your independence is high.
You don't need to be in love, and sometimes you don't even want love.
Having your own life is very important for you...
Even more important than having a relationship. |

So I was having this conversation with a friend of mine last night and something we were talking about is telling white lies to friends in order to keep their happiness and ease of mind. I conceded that I have done this on more than one occasion. Is that a bad thing, necessarily? I mean, I don't lie about everything. Just sometimes I feel that I must hide what I want in order to carry through with their happiness. Does that make me a bad person? My friend said they wanted to know every truth no matter what their personal expense is. But I don't know that I could put another person, especially one close to me, in an awkward position by telling the whole truth. (And now I'm sure everyone is going to be second-guessing every word that comes out of my mouth.) It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I strive for honesty but I also wish the best for the ones I love so dearly. I do feel bad telling people a lie. However, I want them to be happy. It's complicated, this life thing.
13 days. I await the finish line.

9:50 pm - choir concert
|
I had a choir performance tonight. Not that anyone noticed anyways. I didn't know anyone there. It was really depressing, especially when I told all my friends about it. As I was walking home alone I began to think. About how I can't rely on others for support. That at some point it must all come from within. I must learn to believe in myself. And it is a little frustrating when I always go to support my friends in their performances and when it comes time to reciprocate it's like they suddenly have plans, or forget, or simply don't think it worth their time. It was a bit of a letdown. Something that is so special to me, my music, and no one is there to hear it. Whatever.
Juries are in two weeks. I'm not ready, of course...and my piano teacher can go to hell for all I care. I am so sick and tired of being called ugly and how I'm the worst pianist she's ever heard. Give me a freakin break. I don't need more things to stress me out right now.
17 days and counting. Say a prayer for me.

11:29 pm - taking a break from studying theory to bring you:
|
| Your Life Path Number is 3 | 
Your purpose in life is to express your unique self.
You are a creative and artistic person with an interesting view on life.
Witty and outgoing, you enjoy sharing your crazy ideas with anyone who will listen.
A total social butterfly, you're the life of any party.
In love, you inspire and enchant your partner. You are often an object of fantasy and desire.
While you are very talented, you sometimes lack the ambition to put your talents in play.
And while your wit carries you a long way, you occasionally use it to mask your true feelings.
Your natural abilities can bring you all the success in the world ... if you let them |
current mood:  peaceful

1:34 pm - Spring is here...
|
--EDITED--
I had a really pathetic post up and decided to take it down and instead simply say that I love all of my friends because without you, I am nothing.
Thank you to everyone who has ever said a kind word or done a favor to me. I love and miss you all very much.

5:36 pm - GRRRR!!!
|
Okay, so tell me whether or not I am justified in my anger:
Jeff sends out a mass bulletin about having a camping trip on spring break and anyone is invited. So I assume that includes me (I figured the "everyone" part covered that). Then I get am IM from Kris Brown asking who told me about the camping thing. I said Jeff did, and he didn't believe me because Jeff was evidently recanting on the invite. Kris told me I "wasn't allowed" to come because I was not invited....even though it was an open invitation. He said that they had their twelve people and no one else could go with them. Obviously I was a little upset. I would have really liked to camp out with my friends. But even Jeff isn't backing me up on this one. I'm kinda upset with these people, people I thought were good friends.
So, in light of recent events, I am sending out a REAL open invitation. Anyone who wants to start a new camping trip (this is primitive I'm talking about) please contact me. I think it would be fun and a way to relax without having to spend an arm and a leg. Let me know what y'all think. My personal favorite place to go is Enchanted Rock, which is very close to Fredericksburg and Johnson City so there's no lack in things to do. Of course, other ideas are welcome!

|
I feel awful. The flu has gotten me...ACK! It really sucks being bedridden. But I guess it's better than the room spinning and passing out. (My trip to the bathroom across the hall was interesting. I think my appearance scared some people!) Anyways, just wanting to say that bein sick is the pits not just cause ya feel bad but then there's the whole missing classes thing. Oyi.
Send healthy vibes please! Mucho gusto loves.

10:15 am - Monday monday, can't trust that day
|
I'm getting ready for my SMU audition on the 26th and I realized I don't have a good comedic monologue. EEK! Help anyone? This should be interesting. Oh yeah, I think SMU has the most paperwork EVER for any college. It is getting rather ridiculous. I just hope they take pity on me and let me in....with scholarships lol. Evidently the government (ie FAFSA) believes that my dad can give a third of his income to me. Um, hello?? Six people are living on that income. The gov't is so retarded. Anyways, I just hope this goes well. If I'm not meant to be there then I won't get in. It's good experience right?
I really should be doing my music transpositions. But they're booooooring. Yay busywork. Ugh, my teacher is an idiot. He can't even say my name right. It's Katie, not Katia or Katiay or Katah. Kay. Tee. Wow, that's hard.
I had a wonderful weekend, and rather productive. Except that now I'm a tad ill (thanks Brandon =P). Got a bunch of stuff done, filed my taxes for the first time myself. It's so nice to get more back than you actually paid in taxes. Woohoo!!
Does anyone know a bus route from Denton to Dallas, or would be willing to take me to my audition? It's at one on Feb. 26th....I didn't think that far ahead when I signed up for that day. Silly me....anyways, any help would be great!
-Yours truly

11:02 pm - isn't it funny...
|
...that human nature is to desire what you cannot have? i find this quite ironic, not to mention very applicable to my life at this moment. i've been shying away from the whole dating scene just cause there's too much hurt there for me to jump in willingly. but you find a guy who's genuine, real, sweet....and you can't have him. he has become beyond your reach. too bad this is the same song, second verse, for my life. and there are others that are nice that are available, but for some reason you still want what is not allowed. i don't really get it and i am wondering if the fact that it is a forbidden thing that makes it that much more appealing. something to think upon.
anyways, i think i am finally getting into the christmas spirit. my family and i took a trip through the trail of lights this evening. it was nice just to have a family thing, ya know? and i found out that we're going to have two christmases: one here and one and my grandparents' house. yay!! i feel like a five year old when it comes to christmas time =)
oh, and anyone who hasn't read the da vinci code MUST read it....i couldn't take my eyes off of it; i finished it in practically one sitting! and it's going to be a movie woooo! i'm so excited lol

12:46 pm - Let it snow!

OMG it is now snowing (with some areas accumulating to several inches)!! School has been cancelled at UNT and everyone has been outside playing in the winter wonderland. I seriously feel like I'm living in a snowglobe. It's great to act like a 5 year old sometimes. And we got tons of pictures....as well as a video (thanks Amanda!) Oh, I am uber excited!!

12:03 pm - Oh sweet bliss
|
I have a new love! Too bad he's 200 stinkin miles away. We have lots of fun together. He dances with me, and makes me feel like the only girl in the world. Oh, i'm so infatuated. And i like it. teeheehee...I miss him a lot and i'm kinda scared of doing the whole long distance thing, not to mention the fact that the last time i had a "real" boyfriend it was a year and a half ago and things kinda sucked with him...i guess i need to let everything go and try to have a good time. I mean, really, i'm only 18 and there's so much i want to do. I'm definitely not looking to settle down at all. That'd just be stupid. But nonetheless, he is absolutely wonderful. A good counterpoint for me and my inner 5 year old =).
School is making me go crazy. For those of you NOT in the music realm, try being a music major for one month and see how sane you come out. I've got juries in exactly a week and then finals the week after that. Oi. Definitely starting to freak out...i'm trying to take one day at a time. I can't wait for christmas break. It is my favorite time of year and plus i'll get lots of homecooked meals. yay!! Cafeteria food just isn't cutting it. Hopefully i will become a better cook over the break, although it's sort of a useless skill to have at this point, seeing as how i don't have immediate access to a kitchen here. oh well, it's something to keep me busy with.
I didn't realize this was going to happen, but i miss my sister alyssa so much. It's funny, her and i were always the ones duking it out around the house when we were little. And yet, she's the one i miss the most. I don't get it...but her and her friend are tryin to make a trip up here to stay a weekend and scope out the college life. I hope she comes soon...i also need her help on getting an outfit together for juries. I know it sounds stupid, but she's really good at making me look good...lol. And you need to look your best for juries, or any performance for that matter.
I'm working on trying to get into a new opera with the Metroplex Opera. They are doing Suor Angelica by Puccini...auditions are sunday. Wish me a broken leg!
I think i need to go to the doctor. My medicine has quit working and my cysts are coming back. Yay for pain...ugh. Hopefully i can get this cleared up once and for all.
EDIT: Boys suck....i no longer have any significant other. I need a girl's night =(
