east coast.

i miss you.

i'm coming.

6/15 - 7/2

I am so jealous.

I am so jealous of people who seem to have become famous simply for having blogs. I mean my sister just sent me a link to a video on Defamer, and it featured this girl Molly McAleer. All I can find out about her is that she has a blog. And it's a good blog. I mean, on the very first page she knocks someone for using the wrong version of "you're". That's my kind of blog.

And okay, so when I was young I wrote poems and short stories like a fucking fiend. I really thought I might become a writer one day. Then the Prozac kicked in, and now I am too busy to channel my depression into creativity.

But I could still write about my life, right? I mean, I am vaguely interesting and mildly amusing. Perhaps I too could achieve some small-scale fame through my blog. I am over MySpace - I almost can't believe now that I was ever under it - but hell, I still have funny anecdotes to relate! I still have amusing things to vent about! I still have four cats! That last one may or may not be pertinent.

So I am going to try to start blogging at a minimum every other day. Yeah, that's right. Watch out Molly McAleer. I may not have your mad blogging skillz yet, but just you wait. Just you motherfucking wait.

This is the saddest I have felt in a long time.

30's not so good.

O beautiful, for spacious skies...

This would be ONE reason why I don't give a shit if she's female like me, I still ain't voting for her.

i wish i had a best girlfriend here.

sadly, it was watching degrassi the next generation with dahveed that made me so nostalgic.

maybe i'll place a craigslist ad.

oh my GOD scheduling meetings in the bane of my FUCKING existence.

"hi kate. schedule this meeting. coordinate ten people's schedules into one day. and it has to be within the next week. thanks!"

okay, fair enough.

work, work, work - meeting scheduled.

"hi kate. i know i initially told you i was available all week, but it looks as though the day you scheduled the meeting for is actually the only day i'm unavailable. oh, that's the only day everyone else is available? better start ALL OVER then and make it next week."

"oh, and kate? by the way, we won't give you easy access to our schedules. you will have to ask every time for our availability."

fuck. you.

the times they are a-changin'....

never thought i'd have to defend my personal decision to get married BEFORE getting pregnant.

i really was meant to live in another time, apparently.
