update?

2009-08-06T08:15:03Z

Holy shit, I never use this. I forgot how to update it.
It's summer. I spent the first six weeks taking 3 bullshit classes. The rest of my summer has been spent in Fort Myers, Dallas, and home.

I've been sleeping a lot. I can not wait to be back in Orlando. I miss AJ, my cat, my apartment, and school.

I turn 21 on Friday. I am somewhat ambivalent about this.

This is going to sound nerdy. I organized my books on my bookshelf in color order...it looks like a rainbow. I kind of love it.

I need to see 500 Days of Summer and that John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph movie. Did that even come out yet?

Pointlessssssss.

missing this.

2008-12-31T10:28:32Z

It's 5 am. My sleeping schedule is beyond fucked.
Today I had lunch with AJ at Sweet Tomato and afterward saw Marley and Me. For a movie about a cute puppy it was extremely sad. I still have a couple movies that I wanted to see before the year ended but haven't yet. Slumdog Millionaire and Synecdoche, New York are supposed to be fantastic.

It's been nice being home but right now I am desperate to get back to Orlando. I feel as if I'm wasting away here. This evening I've been contemplating my New Years resolutions. I think later on I'm going to make a list of what I want to accomplish this year but right now my top priority is to spend less time on technology. This means not whiling away my hours on my laptop/TV/Nintendo DS and instead do something productive like reading a fucking book. Sometimes I feel like I've lost such a huge portion of my life due to technology. And for what? I can't even remember what I've spent these hours doing on the internet.

Tomorrow is New Years eve. How did this happen? How did we get here?
I need to start keeping my promises.

OH god,

2008-12-21T09:14:52Z

Where to begin?

I recently returned from a short yet very fulfilling trip to western Massachusetts, specifically Amherst, Massachusetts. Me and AJ visited Christina and Erik and had an amazing time. Amazing weather, amazing scenery, amazing people. While there we managed to make our way through downtown Amherst, Smith and Amherst colleges, the Robert Frost trail, and a tour (given by Christina) of Emily Dickinson's house. We also managed to see a pretty cool Swedish vampire flick called Let the Right One In which put Twilight to shame. We had a great time and as I think AJ said in his post I hope you guys will visit Orlando one day so we can repay the favor!
Also, I'll be putting up pictures soon.

Since returning I've mostly been hanging around here in Weston which has been quite mundane. Since being home I have made a ginger bread house with my mom and sister, gone Christmas shopping, and slept excessively. Although on a brighter note, I did pass my GKTs. You may ask "Kristen, what on earth is a GKT?!" Well my friends, the GKT is the General Knowledge Test needed to get into the Education program. Sounds easy right? I mean it's general knowledge. Wrong. It consists of information that has been pushed so far back into the depths of your mind that you have to practically relearn everything. It's a freaking hassle. There was this lady in my testing group who had taken the the math portion 14 times. You would think she would have gotten a tutor or something. Anyways, I passed which means I can finally get going with my upper level courses. I know this is all so interesting.

I'm just SO anxious to finish school. The feeling I get when I think about graduating is so exhilarating. Once I have this degree my obligation is over. I can move anywhere. I can start my LIFE, get away. For Gods sake I hadn't even planned on going to college in the first place so I really just can't wait to finish.

Oh, what is everyone doing for New Years? I bought this bangin' dress but have nowhere to wear it to, haha.

well

2008-11-30T08:37:22Z

It's fucking 3 AM.

I'm tired as hell but can't sleep.
This weekend has been good. Good food, good family, good shopping.
Currently I'm still an education major and I luv UCF.

Right now though, I feel shitty and I don't exactly know why. Maybe it's just being home and being in my room again. I mean this room has seen its share of teenage angst. Whatever, on nights like these I tell myself I'll be fine in the morning and I always am.

I saw twilight today. I know everyone is all "twilight fuckin' sucks!" but srsly it's my guilty pleasure and I liked the movie so suck it!

I don't know what to do with this livejournal anymore. I used to write entries in the hopes that someone would read it and think "wow that girl is so interesting/funny/unique/cool!" (LOL I know) but now I really don't care at all. I guess that is sort of the point of having a public journal though. But whatever. Life is good now which I guess is why I don't gripe on LJ anymore. It's weird. Most things are better, so much better. But there's things I miss about high school and home. It's probably the same for everyone else too though. I guess right now I feel like I'm not doing anything I love. I mean my classes are alright but it's weird being an education major. Nothing is fun until you actually get inside a classroom and teach. Having people teach you about teaching is pretty boring, not going to lie. I feel like I need something to inspire me, something to love. Damn. Whatever.

Right now I'm trying really hard not to cut all my hair off again. I'm so into this hair cut. Fuck growing out my hair! It's so hard! Either way Shannyn Sossamon is so gorgeous she could be bald and still be hot. This would probably make me look like a 12 year old boy. Either way I still love it.

I can't believe it's the holiday season already. Time is going be so fast.

Oh, everyone should listen to the new Kanye CD. It's the bomb.

Peace.

oh boy

2008-05-21T07:27:21Z

The only good picture from my photo class.

I'm making a post...

2008-05-16T05:29:03Z

and I'm not even going to make it friends only, because that's stupid. Anyways I'm going to treat this like one big massive update so here it goes.

My first semester at UCF was great! Living on my own has been really awesome though and UCF is an amazing school. It's kind of worth being a poor college student and living off of fast food and left overs.

In other not so recent news AJ bought me a kitten for our 2 year/valentines day! He is the most adorable fuzzy white kitten in the entire world and as soon as I'm not lazy I will put up pictures. His name is Kumo which is Japanese for cloud. The name also goes with my roommates cat whose name is NamiSake which is like Japanese beer. Unfortunately though Nikki and I can no longer be roommates which makes me very sad. We had some pretty good times though in the 4 months we lived together. =]

Also of note AJ and I have become LOST fanatics! How did I not become obsessed with this show when it came out?! I'm like a LOST detective now looking up spoilers and hidden videos online. When this show ends I might have some sort of breakdown.

Anyways recently AJ and I joined Yarber and his girlfriend on a mini road trip to Ichetucknee Springs. It was amazingly amazing. We went tubing down a river full of fish and a bunch of different wildlife. We saw turtles, snakes, skinks, salamanders, hawks, and a lot more. I was seriously in awe of nature. The water was so clear and pristine we could see straight to the bottom. After tubing we went swimming in the natural springs. Although they were freezing cold it was such a great experience swimming in crystal clear water with natural wildlife. I'm so glad we went. And afterwards we grilled up some burgers and just had a really chill relaxing day.

After Ichetucknee I had to move back home for the summer which really really sucks. I really miss AJ already and he left on Saturday.

Now I am home for the summer and currently unemployed. I filled out an application to the Weston YMCA but I'm lazy and haven't turned it in yet. So for the past week I've been waking up at noon, watching a lot of nick-at-nite, and wearing my PJs until 4 pm. And while that has been pretty great considering the hectic schedule I had last semester I am getting bored. That being said I've decided to make a list of things I'm going to catch up on this summer!

SUMMER LIST!
-Read, Read, Read
-Write more
-Do some art journaling
-Work and make moneys$$$$
-Swim, get a tan(as best I can)
-Beach
-Catch up with Friendz
-....errr thats it

So thats that. I guess more will probably get added as time goes on.

Also I'm planning on updating this thing more often.

hi.

2008-01-04T07:14:21Z

I've been somewhat apathetic lately. I don't even know whats wrong with me.
Anyhow I just moved up to Orlando.
I can't think of anything to write. I'm officially a boring person.

And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be.

       So I got a new laptop and it's pretty bad ass. Especially because AJ and I waited in line for 8 hours to get it. The problem is my old one is infected with a virus and I don't really want to transfer any files and infect this one. Soooooo recommend me NEW music! If anyone is reading this that doesn't have a lj just leave an anonymous comment or something....I really need to start downloading.

     I'm moving to Orlando at the end of December. I can't wait to get out of this place, and Miami. I'll probably miss it though, because I'm weird like that. School has been pretty good even though I've been pretty stressed out lately and right now I'm putting off writing a paper. Nothing else is new.

you know you want it.

A while ago I got into all this art journaling stuff. as in journaling out feelings with mixed medias (paints, foils, pictures etc.) and I was having a lot of fun with it but I wanted to take it further. soooo i bought all these tools and what not so I can do my own bookbinding and make my own journals and books. But during summer I was so busy that I haven't had time to do it. So this is my project for the rest of the year! I'm actually really excited about it.

In other news I quit polo (even though I really did like it) because they were having me stay until midnight or later cleaning up the store and I can't do that when I have school and stuff etc. Speaking of school...it starts in a week. I'm taking Ethics (boring), Teaching Diverse Populations (Eh), African Civ (lawl), annnnd Geometry (!!!!noooo!!!!). but pretty soon I'm going to be done with all my core classes and then I can start my major!

oh. and today I dyed my hair and cut it! it's dark brown now. I really like it.

uh this post was pointless.

does anyone (christina or megan?) want to do something fun with me soon?? I'm wasting away here waiting for school to start.

I'm thinking that I want to move up north.
I've never seen autumn and I've seen snow only once in my life.
I've never experienced winter. Maybe it's all overrated. But then again so is Florida.

Anyways. I've been working all weekend and this is the first time I've been online in four days. It's actually pretty nice not checking myspace 50 times a day because I'm bored. But it's also not so great that my feet hurt like crazy from standing for 8 hours straight. But so far work is ok. I'll probably hate it within the next 2 weeks though. I've already started to hate customers with unbridled passion. I've never come across such obnoxious people in my life. When you're done looking at something the least you could do is put it back where you found it. I must have folded over a thousand sweaters today.

And then theres school. Suddenly I am wondering what the fuck is wrong with me for taking Public Speaking. My first speech was last tuesday and I thought I was either going to faint or throw up. or both. My hands were shaking so much that I almost dropped all of my notecards. As soon as I got up in front of the class I forgot everything I learned on Japanese Internment Camps. Great. I basically said that Americans acted like big dickheads and then we gave them money to make up for it. And I was so nervous I forgot about my slideshow. Public Speaking sucks.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day and I'm going to school just to print pictures for Photography.

No one uses LJ anymore.

da end.

the first post of the new year!

well, happy new year to everyone!
although the new year is not looking so up for me as of the moment but i'm hoping it will improve. i also sent in my application to UCF for summer term. right now i'm wishing i hadn't fucked up high school so bad but theres nothing i can do about it now. we'll see how that goes. and my grades for the last semester at FIU were great. two As and two Bs. hopefully i can keep up the hard work. 2006 ended on a good note at least. a great note in fact. my week in orlando with AJ was amazing and christmas was fantastic. and its been so nice having AJ home again.

uhh also gwen stefanis new CD is amazing. i feel lame for just discovering this now. i wish i was gwen and could have a posse of cute asian chicks follow me everywhere.

I'M FEELING YUMMY HEAD TO TOE!

oh pluto.

i know its stupid but my new icon really makes me laugh.
haha :D

my amazing weekend

2006-09-06T04:18:17Z

this weekend I took a sponatneous trip to orlando. I bought myself a bus ticket and sat for 6 hours on a greyhound. I'll admit I was very scared but I made it and just seeing AJ waiting for me at the bus station made everything worth it. I can't describe the last 5 days with any other word but amazing. I can't believe it went by so fast. I couldn't be happier right now.

the fire in your eyes is blazing.

2006-06-23T23:08:16Z

I think I really am in love.
I've never known someone to be so intelligent and deep. I've never known someone who can sometimes be completely dumb but in the best way possible.
someone who is so unbelievably talented. someone who is so thoughtful. so unique. so different from anyone I've ever met.
someone who can make me laugh until I cry. someone who will talk to me all night until I fall asleep. someone who truly&deeply cares for me. someone who makes brownies with me, who lies in the grass to watch the stars with me, who laughes at my jokes even if they're the same lame jokes from a low budget horror movie, someone who can sit with me and even if we're not speaking it's the most comfortable silence in the world, someone who leaves me breakfast at my front door at 5 in the morning. someone who I feel totally and completely comfortable with. I don't need make-up with him, I could care less about my hair. I am me when I am with you. the weight of that statement is insurmountable. I want to make you happy, I want to give you everything.

I really do love you.
