Hey M, Drew, and any one else...

I am posting because you guys are coming for my birthday tomorrow after you're off work. I will now outline my schedule for wednesday and thursday to see how long you want/can stay.

Wednesday: Class until 5, Concert call at 6:30, Concert at 7:30-9   --
      There is a symphony bar-crawl that night, and I was planning on just hanging out with them or staying at one bar for however long I like. Murphy's is on green street and very centrally located so I could tell people where I am.
Thursday: Rehearsal at 10am and 11am so I will be done at noon for lunch and shopping (?? yes, say yes to shopping...) Then there is a wine tasting at krannert that I'd like to go to that goes from 4-6, and a going away party for my boss that night/another box wine and cheezit party to go to.
If you guys can stay, you should. I know Ben has to work friday morning sometime, but if you could stay until 10pm and then drive back? I don't know what time Drewbie works either...

Comment back, I will try to call both of you but my schedule for today is whack too... I have a big test on friday too that I'm studying for tonight and tomorrow morning...

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul</font></td></tr></table><div align="center"><a href="http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofsoulareyouquiz/">What Kind of Soul Are You?</a></div>

<img src="http://images.quizilla.com/C/caz15th/1127562500_uizEmpathy.jpg" border="0" alt="Empathy"><br><b> Empathy- </b> Your inner power is Empathy! This
<br />means that you have a talent for identifying
<br />others emotions, often by simply glancing at
<br />them. You are EXTREMELY shy and quiet. People
<br />sometimes dont notice youre around and seem
<br />surprised to find out you even exist in a big
<br />class. Youre the often silent, goody two
<br />shoes, and few get passed the walls youve
<br />built up to stop yourself being hurt, as you
<br />no doubt have been in the past. Not everyone
<br />understands you, in fact some think that
<br />youre a snob or worse because you rarely
<br />participate in group activities. Youre
<br />extremely sensitive, even the least harsh of
<br />words can hurt you. Only your very few,
<br />closest friends who have earned your
<br />hard-to-get trust know who you really are
<br />inside; a sweet, gentle young woman who is
<br />lonely and so desperately needing friends to
<br />support you. You can get very depressed and
<br />not always know why, despite your power of
<br />empathy, as it seems to only work for people
<br />outside you. Your friends always turn to you
<br />when they need advice or comforting, and in
<br />some way you need to give that helpit makes
<br />you feel better in return to know that youve
<br />helped out your friends. Despite your cold,
<br />impassive exterior and high, seemingly
<br />unbreachable walls, inside you are really a
<br />great, intelligent person, full of compassion
<br />and love, if only people would dare take a
<br />chance and try to get through your tough
<br />shell. Never let others get you down, or
<br />change you. You are very special the way you
<br />areeven if you dont have fifty thousand
<br />friends, you are just as, if not more
<br />extraordinary than everyone else. Reach for
<br />the stars, because I dont doubt youll catch
<br />hold of them.
<b> Boy/Girl who will sweep you off your feet: </b>
<br />A sweet, shy and romantic man/woman. The kind
<br />of guy/woman you know will never, ever hurt
<br />you, and will love you for ever. The kind of
<br />person who believes in true love, and soul
<br />mates.
<b> Your stone: </b> Blue Topaz
<b> Your power: </b> Healing. Emotionally,
<br />physically, or spiritually, you heal people
<br />with your words, your actions and presence.
<br />Youre the one that the little children are
<br />always drawn to, because they know youll
<br />never let anything hurt them.
<b> Your element: </b>  Clairvoyance (The power to
<br />see objects or events that cannot be
<br />perceived by the normal five senses.)
<b> A quote that applies to you: </b>  "True
<br />beauty shines from the soul and warms the
<br />world with its<i>  kindness, compassion</i> ,
<br />and <i>  integrity</i>."

I was looking over a collection of O. Wilde's works and I came across a selection of his Fairy Tales. I was much amused by them and I thought I'd put a link on here as they were so fun.

The Nightingale and the Rose:

The Fisherman and His Soul:
http://www.planetmonk.com/wilde/pomegranates/fisherman.html

The Star-Child:
http://www.planetmonk.com/wilde/pomegranates/starchild.html

Those were the three that I read completely (I most especially liked the picture of how someone was to lose their soul).


((I posted this in a discussions thread--and I do really like them if anyone wants to read them))

Why was her nickname "The Portuguese"?

"Colonel Tarleton"

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I’ve held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It’s just as well for all I’ve seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That’s if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows

I have aproximatly an hour and a half to write three more paragraphs...this sounds easy and such...but...It's slightly hard to concentrate...but I won't think about that...thinking about other things...like chocolate...

I like sunglasses...

I'm really distracted to say the least...trying to focus... After I get home from English tonight I have three different assignments to finish for French in the morning...and I REALLY should look over my math since I know I did horribly on my test monday...oh well...

Tomorrow will be interestisting, as I have a doctors apointment at 2:40 or something... They're going to do that whole taking blood thing *tear* not cool...I don't like needles... So yeah, I probably won't be there tomorrow night, me thinks my mom won't feel like driving me back to peoria from tremont... *sigh* I'll miss you guys...I've missed for a couple weeks now...not cool...

Sick and tired...my brain is completely derailed now...*sigh* I wish I didn't have class tonight...

~Kate

I'm slightly upset. Dad and I had a run in with one of them earlier. It was not pleasent at all. Not only was it a harsh meeting but it was also kind of out of no where. I slightly saw it coming but Dad was rather shocked.

Stupid trees. He was just trying to turn around the truck. You shouldn't be so stuborn. Move next time...

Lol, so yeah, my head really hurts now and I'm freakishly tense. I'm thinking that my left elbow will be slightly bruised tomorrow...striking it rather sharply against the middle counsol isn't healthy...and my left hand has been tingling off and on since then...*sigh*

And yes, the truck's ok.


I'm going to go nap now...might attempt to find some medication...or food...or both...

~Kate

so yeah...disgusting illness...

It's kind of weird though because I keep getting little bursts of energy...I just climbed the stairs two at a time...but now I'm sitting here all exhausted and such...

Food is yummy...

...fevered = bad...


~Kate

So...my mom leaves this morning, tells rob to tell me not to leave until she returns.

Um...party? I'm late...I don't think anyone will mind...but I wanted to get there when everyone else did...

There's still no sign of my mom...church is at 10:45 until whenever...so...depending on who is preaching today...if she isn't here by 12:30 then she's dillydallying (as my dad would say). That's just...evil.

Grrr...

~Kate

I'm really worried about M. When she came home earlier she could barely walk it hurt to badly to breathe (it didn't help that she'd just climbed the stairs and I guess dad talked to her in the car). I got her some ice water and she took an antihystamine (eek...spelling) about 10:10 and now she's upstairs sleeping. She said that she did feel better, clearer and such around 10:45 or so. Me thinks that she has pneumonia of some sort. She said something about her not wearing her mask while she was sanding on Thursday...and that's about the time she started feeling ill. She has a sinus thing anyway...
I guess that average people don't get lung scarring from it and it isn't an emergency sort of thing...

Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.
~Kate

So, the parents are being excessively evil. Especially dad. True, it's his house and all that good stuff...but he doing that whole "you will listen because I say so and things will change because I say so".

No movie. Sad. I really wanted to go...

In other news, I'm hungry...no food though...anywhere...as far as the eye can see...*sigh* I suppose I should go find some...but that would take effort...
Oh yes, and I have germs now, fyi. Evil. I don't think I have what M has fortunatly (sinus infection)...so that's cool...at least I think I don't...

*yawn*

To Do:
-ICC220: Full analysis of Mozart excerpt from ch. 1
-Eng110: Write rough sketch of profile essay
-Mat102: Review/practice ch. 3
-Fre110: Review Ch. 2.2, 2.3
...and choir...yeah...lol
-Sleep
-Eat
-Sniff hoody
-Have talk with parents

Not necessarily in that order...

Awesome possum day.

I'm really tired...but I don't think I'd be able to sleep...

I had the awesomest conversation earlier. Wait...two awesome conversations...one was just awesome and warm and the other was really funny...and I scared some young children, go me;-p (I know, so M of me...)

And I hurt my toe *sad eyes* and I have a blister on the back of my foot. The complication was that I only had one bandaid (hehe, dory)...so there was a choice, stop bleeding or prevent further bleeding? ...hard core decision right there...I opted for a compremise, bandaid on heel while wearing highheels so the hurt toe would be protected. I must say it was an effective plan.


But, enough talking.
This is what you may expect from my new journal. Simple. Only me. Otherwise it will be either friendized or protected.

Love yas
~Kate

I couldn't stand not having a livejournal, I'm sorry but I NEED to write. It helps me keep my brain in order, especially when there's no one to talk to.

This will be a friends only page and friends will be very limited.

If you are added then know I trust you and those that I don't I probably can't trust you enough for one reason or another.

This is MY livejournal. These are MY thoughts. Have a nice day.
