A Child's Geography of the World

"Just suppose you could go way, way off in the sky, sit on a corner of nothing at all and look down at the world through a spy glass."

I see you!

Eyes:
Such pretty little balls that let us see this big giant one!

Pretty Little Things

I just realized something huge...

Life should be simple. So I am now focusing on simple pleasures.

"I probably won't be rich, or famous, or on the cover of TIME, or get an Oscar, or have my own reality show, or living in California, or New York, or Miami and thats really okay with me. An average life....I kinda like the sound of that. "

And I really do like the sound of that.

A simple life, for a weirdo nerd girl. And all I want is to be free and happy. I think thats pretty possible.

5 Things...

I currently love. (Stolen from Sara-Jane!)
1.) Planting Trees, I did in honor of my cousin Andrew!






2.) Baby Marlei!







3.) Jonathan Groff! (Mmmmm.... Jesse St.James)

4.) Pizza + Ranch = YUM.


5.) Jillian Malone. I miss her and NEVER get to see her! But i lovveee her!

Footprints.

Footprints in the Sand




One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”

The thing about blogging is...

...it takes so much time.

For instance, I have like five followers. And three of the five are just friends. The other two, it took me FOREVER to get. There is a process to the whole thing.

1. Create a blog.
2. Make a post.
3. Find other blogs.
4. Follow other blogs.
5. Comment like crazy on other blogs.
6. Hope and pray that they add you. (They hardly ever do.)

Rinse and repeat.



It just is so tiring.


Basically, what I'm saying is that....I love my five followers and I'm just so tired of trying and failing. So I'm giving up for a while. Maybe a few short posts every other day, but nothing long.

Maybe in a week or two, I'll be ready.

Until then,
Kat


PS- Do you think there is anything I change on my blog to make it more appealing?

This Week:

A whole whole lot is going on this week. A lot of disappointment, a lot of happiness, a lot of thinking, a lot of singing, a whole lot of a whole lot to do!

1.) I couldn't stop thinking about Spring Awakening. It was like, I was even more unfocused when I wasn't thinking about it. On occasion this got annoying, like when I failed my chem test because I was listening to the soundtrack instead of focusing on solutions. Yeah, it got annoying.

This always reminds me of Sara-Jane.

2.) I love it when teachers accuse students of rushing to turn in late work at the very end of the six weeks. I love it becaue well, a lot of teachers do the same thing. They wait and wait until the very end of the six weeks to give us a shit load of tests, quizzes, worksheets, and bookwork. My point? I have six tests tomorrow. SIX. As in I have seven classes... and in all but one, I have tests. And not just quizzes, noooooooo! Big freaking important tests! GAH. Do you want me to live 'til thirty?!

...sorry, that was me venting via blog.

3.) I don't remeber what else I was going to post. But, theres that.

WELL. Have a great day!!

Funny Faces in Funny Places!

Check out this wicked fun website!!

Spring Awakening (the zero effort post )

Kay, well thats that! I loved it. SO GOOD. AHHHH, so so so good!

NotAndyMientus (Robi Hager)

This post is mostly for Sara-Jane and all my fellow Spring Awakening lovers!


Since Andy freaking left, I got to see Robi Hager play Hanschen. And let me tell you... he...was... good. I'm not even sure I miss Andy that much anymore. I mean, I'm always going to miss him, but really come on. Robi was really really good. Almost, I can't believe I'm saying this, better. But that is only one mere opinion. I'm sure some people love Andy waaaay more than Robi! I actually prefer Robi to Andy. The only thing is, his hair needs to be bleach blond! Here are some pictures!!





I love the little gap in his teeth! It reminds me of:



Taylor Trensch!
(Robi's fellow S.A. cast member!)






DO DODO
He's so cute!

Andy Mientus, I'll miss you.






...we are all Anthony Lee Medina.

One lovely day.

(This post is all over the place! Sorry! There's a lot of colors and sizes and links and topics and ITS JUST A LOT OKAY?!?)

Here are my current senses.

Hearing: "Crickets and Spiders" -Full Service (Who else?)

Seeing: My gorgeously green front yard, small white flowers, and my sweet red puppy.

Tasting: Grape Kool-Aide, grilled chicken, and some hair that just flew into my mouth.

Smelling: Crispness, pollen (the good kind), grass, and the general smell* of spring time.
Feeling:
Physically: My soft blanket, the flimsy plastic chair, the wind gently blowing my skin, the cool concrete porch under my feet, my HUGE hair tickling my shoulders.
Emotionally: Andrew (more on that later), excited (more on that too), ready, calm, uplifted, hopeful (No more on that one).





And now time for an update:

I like to take pictures of myself...shhhh its a secret passion of mine!

It is an impressive 81 degrees here in Austin right now. God, its just too pretty of a day to let it slip by. And who knew? We get internet on the front porch! Today has been positively the picture perfection. I wish you could be here, its so fresh. So new. So GREEN! (Foreshadowing) Everything I need is right here next to me. My grape Kool-Aide, my pup, my music, my blanket. All of it is just so perfect. I'm wearing a purple and white dressy today. It suited the weather so well.

And with that I will now depress you with tales of my sorrows.

I previously made a post about my cousin Andrew who passed away. I've been thinking a lot about life and of course, death, and I think I've been thinking maybe a little too much. But, I don't just want go where life takes me. I want to map my own route.

So here is my plan:



1) Find a fabulous job downtown.

2) Get into St. Edward's University.
3) Move into a crappy apartment on Congress Ave. (It'll take some serious moo-lah $$$$)

I'll let you picture that one on your own. :)

4) Live there until I get married, and live happily ever after.

I GET TO SEE SPRING AWAKENING IN DALLAS TOMORROW! I AM SO SO SO PUMPED! WOOOO!



So, I'll leave you with words written by Smellman, of Full Service, in his tour update.

"....but this dedication makes me think.

Math time!!

We play about 45 minutes on average each show. In a 3 week tour we play prolly 15 shows. 3 weeks is 504 hours. At a set length of 45 min, we are jamming for 11.25 hours out of 504 total hours. Every other second is spent in pursuit of those 11.25 hours. We drive, load in, load out, set merch up, find eats, search for cheap hotels, sleep in beds close to each other, use the bathroom in very uncomfortable conditions, put up with drunk assholes kickin our cd sign just so that 2% off our lives can be spent rocking. 98% of our life right now is spent chasing the rock. I am so tired, freakin cold as ice, hungry, smell terrible, comin down with the cold twink brought with him, and so poor I cant even dream of money. But that 2% is so fuckin sweet!!!!

Think I am on to something. This might be a good way to look at life. We all work hard, need more money, miss our loved ones, dislike workin, hate drunk stupid asses, and get sick from it all sometimes but are saved by only 2%. Chase your two percent at all cost.

Love ya

smelly"

I am so quoting that ALL THE TIME from now on. "Chase your two percent at all costs." The only thing is, I need to find mine.





I'm sorry this was so long! A whole lotta readin! Phew! I finished before dark, GO ME!

I miss

Conan.

That is all, thank you.

Baby Birds...

Look like dinosaurs.

I'm going insane...

So, I've started doing things at night that I don't remember I did til I find evidence of it the next day.
I'm really scared!

Examples? Yes, here are a few.

Last night, I bought a song on iTunes.

Why by Limpbizkit....WTF. Why the hell would I buy that one?! Its a good song, I just don't remember buying it!

A couple of weeks ago, I traced pictures off of my computer screen, THEY WERE GOOD TOO! I feel like I'm sleep walking...but not. I'm like, sleep doing! Hrmm... I'll post more if I do anything really crazy!

Andrew

On Tuesday, February 16, my cousin Andrew passed away.

He was only 14 years old.

Pray for him and for his family.

"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

-Abraham Lincoln
