It has been a month since I last posted.

And do I have anything new to say? No, not really.

I made some amazing pants. I wrote words all over 'em and actually sewed some stuff. Yes, I sewed. Amazing, huh? Me, who hates sewing, sewing. And it's been by hand too. And pretty good sewing.

As it is, I'm actually enjoying it...now I have to find more things to sew...for example my shirt that I made in Fashion Marketing. I didn't get to finish sewing it before I turned it in, but that's ok cuz now I'll sew it all pretty and stuff. yeah...

um...I'm gonna go eat dinner. Yes, It's amazing, we're eating dinner at 6ish.

Probably cuz it feels so early cuz of the light...heh.

lots of love,
Katherine

PS One month from yesterday I will be 17!

Goodness, that song is annoying but I love it! It's fun to make people laugh. I just hope they will laugh at the show...will I be over the top enough? Or am I milking it too much? Those are the two questions that are haunting me and will continue haunting me until end of april/beginning of may. cuz that's when tech week and opening night are...I will let y'all know when tickets go on sale so y'all can come.

No rehearsal wednesday...thank goodness. Tomorrow is dancing. Pattie and I will be working on choreography...and by us I mean me, cuz Patty said so to me today...so as well as being Ado Annie, I choreograph too. Isn't that great? I've been thinking of steps and...huh, this is my first big gig. Sure, you can say it's a high school musical and it's nothing big...it's just Oklahoma!...Ok, so Oklahoma! is not the best musical in the world, but it is a lot of fun. Our cast is great, everyone is so high energy, and wonderful at bringing out their character...at least from what I saw today in the singing...we start blocking Thursday. 

I love Ty (I didn't spell her name right, there's more to it than that) who is Aunt Eller, and Conner is a great Curly. And the guy playing Jud...he is amazing. Terry, my Will Parker, is a cutie and a sweetie, and Sean Mack has a wonderful Persian accent. Probably the only person I'm worried about is Mary, who is playing Laurey. She has a good soprano voice actually, it's just very quiet, and, omg, she is so blonde! And she's a brunette! She is the blondest brunette ever...even more than Gwennie. Gwennie is a blonde brunette in a cute way...Mary is just...a ditz. Really and truly. 

And I can't pass criticism on myself, because I'll be too hard on myself, but others have been saying I've been doing a good job and I'm perfect for the part. Now, whether that means they think I'm a hussy or I can really bring out the character in Ado Annie (which what's-her-name in the movie did not do at all...her face doesn't move!) which is what I'm hoping...I also have to persuade people that I really don't sing like that all the time, that I actually can sing prettily...at least I think I can sing prettily.

Goodness, I miss Heather. I haven't seen her in like...forever. Granted, she did spend the night...a coupla weekends ago...but we were exhausted and fell asleep - well not early - but we didn't get to stay up late enough. And we did have coffee at Starbuck's last Saturday, but an hour? Not enough time for us two. It's killing me! I haven't not seen her this much ever! At least, without us being on vacations or anything like that. *sigh*

On a random note: A really good sandwhich is this - Franz Oregon Trail Wheat Bread with "Pockets" of Honey, crunchy peanut butter, apple slices (I like Fuji or Cripps Pink) and Raspberry Honey drizzled over the slices. To round it off, have a side of Blazin' Buffalo Ranch Doritos, the rest of the apple slices that didn't fit on the sandwich, and Raspberry Lemonade. It's so good.

Well, I'm gonna go and eat a lemon bar and have a big glass of milk. I've been so thirsty lately. I can't quench my thirst, even with all the water I've been drinking...the only thing it's done is make me go to the bathroom more. Anywho, I know you were just dying to know that tidbit.

lots of love,
Katherine

I So...last I left you I auditioned for Oklahoma!, saying I was auditioning for Ado Annie. Well, I'm proud to say that I'm in Oklahoma, and that you should all come and see me be part of the leading cast because I'm ADO ANNIE Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEOW!

 And so, if you hang with me, you'll get to experience me spouting off random lines or humming "I Cain't Say No" or something like that. Or speaking with an Oklahomian accent...cuz I've been doing that lately...anywho.

We did our finals yesterday and today, and I have a bad cold again. Seems I catch every cold that comes around, which makes me mad frankly. My throat is just RAW from coughing. At least I'm not sneezing anymore, and using Claritin helps...or however it's spelled...so my nose is all plugged up though with dried up snot, but...y'all definitely wanna hear about that though, I know. My throat is raw from coughing though...always I cough...never fails.

So...I'm completely exhausted, and I've been getting sleep. I've been in bed at 10, one night even before 10, falling asleep sometime before 10:30, and sleeping steadily and deeply until my alarm goes off at six. 7 1/2 hours of sleep minimum all week. And yet I feel dead. Blegh.

I have nothing else to say really.

So...I'm gonna go.

lots of love,
Katherine

PS Happy Groundhog's Day!

19 January 2007 @ 10:31 pm

I auditioned for Oklahoma! last friday, and because of all the snow, we couldn't finish the auditions. Thought we might have them today, but no...they were postponed until monday...so I won't get to finish my audition until next monday, and then callbacks are on tuesday and...

Well, I'm very nervous to say the least. I feel good about my audition last friday, but still...it would be nice to know what my part is. If I have one. Yeesh.

So...the last tues, wed, thurs were pretty boring. Um...I didn't do anything. I worked on my story a bit. A lot. One scene, actually. I worked on one scene a lot, even though I had planned on working on more, but...I'm pretty proud of the end result. It's a good chapter. A lot of sweat and tears and nail biting went into it. 

I've been working on the choreography of my solo dance for my final for my dance class at school. It's hard core. I'm pushing myself...maybe too hard, but I really want it to be amazing...although that makes me scared because how will I then be able to choreograph my next final dance to even compare to this one? AUGH!

So...I'm stressing. And I really shouldn't be. It's not like, I'm auditioning for Broadway with this dance...but I have an expectation to meet. All the girls in my dance class are expecting this amazing routine...and I don't know if this cuts it. I mean, they probably think it will...oh, God, am I sounding snobby? I sound like a diva...oh my goodness. I mean, it's fine when I'm talking about other divas, but...I feel bad now. Great, now my routine is gonna suck, I know it, no matter how many times I will practice it.

And I'm overly worried...and I'm freezing.

And for some odd reason my back is freaking out and I did absolutely NOTHING to twerk it, which frankly makes me mad.

And now, I'm gonna go.

I realized I just started the last three sentences with "and".

lots of love,
Katherine

Tomorrow, if we don't have a snow day or anything...I'm audtioning for Oklahoma! at Skyview. OMGoodness. I'm excited right now. I am...so nervous too. I'm auditioning for Ado Annie, but I also wouldn't mind being one of the Twins, cuz they do a lot of dancing, which is fun. Tapping, and ballet and square dancing...so, it'd be right up my alley, plus they're part of the chorus, which is all I really want to be in minimum. I don't care if I don't get a lead.

But Patty has basically already said that I'm gonna be in the chorus. I told her I was auditioning and she was like, "Hmm...wonder if you're gonna get in it?" And plus she was like, "Yeah, I'm gonna have to consult people (looks at me) for the dream ballet sequence because I sure as heck dunno enough ballet."

Anywho...

I hafta go get my outfit ready for tomorrow...and work on my monologue. I keep forgetting just ONE part...I memorized it all basically today.

I pray that we have school tomorrow...and a two hour late start.

Cuz I have to hope for at least that, otherwise people might think I'm weird...

lots of love,
Katherine

i had the dog dream last night. the last time i had it was shortly after it had actually happened...

My Dream. )

Not too many people know this about me, but I'm slightly afraid of dogs. I love dogs. I love dogs a lot. But that experience, as well as my experience with Molly Brown (who we had for awhile at the blue house when I was five) dragging me through the arbrevidas when I was walking her through the backyard has left me still just a bit wary. Little dogs are fine. Calm, large, older dogs are fine. But jumpy dogs, hyper active dogs,  dogs emerging from puppyhood who haven't had training...I don't know, I can't find the force the reckon with them. They start jumping on me and I panic. I try...but that dog that "attacked" me when I was 5 or 7, just kinda scarred me. Literally and metaphorically. Dogs that are being walked, I can bypass without asking to pet them, unless they look really sweet, or I'm with someone who is more trusting.

But I doubt you really wanna hear of my minor fear of dogs. 

Anywho, I have to go help mom bring in groceries, when all I feel like is vedging out. I'm so tired...

lots of love,
Katherine

so...as my subject line states, i am back from NYC. i am dead tired still.

it's 9 07, but it feels like midnight to me still. well, maybe not quite midnight...more like a quarter to eleven, but i'm still beat. i didn't get to sleep in this morning like i thought i would be able to because i had to wake up to take becca to school cuz eric had to be at work at 8, so i had to wake up early to take becca to school, cuz i was gonna stay home so i could sleep off my jet lag. but no...afterwards, i tried to go back to sleep, but that didn't work. even though i was tired. so that sucked. and i have to go back to school...but i really don't wanna, cuz i'm still so tired.

it feels good to be home, but i miss nyc so badly right now. it felt really natural there. and it really is live 24-7. it was too quiet last night to fall asleep. i had to have music on to go to sleep. i had to have some sort of sound. it was random.

anywhoodles...i'ma gonna go.

and yes, i meant to say i'ma gonna go.

maybe i'll go to bed...but i still have to eat some sort of food...darn.

I'll post about NYC trip later. when i'm not so tired y'all.

lots of love,
Katherine

PS Heather, youre gonna have to re-copy that CD you gave me. songs 8-20 completely skip and stuff. well, sometimes #8 works, but more often it doesnt. so...yup. i would appreciate it much, cuz it's an awesome CD (of the first seven i've heard the whole way)  and i know that #12 is Wickeder, cuz....i heard the beginning skips.
;-)

Dancing Through Life To: Damn Girl...yup. Awesome Song!
 
 
Katherine

so...i got a new camera. i have a new purse. i have new boots. i have four bags: my two rolling suitcases and the toiletry bag and my back pack. all my clothes are basically packed in the littler of the two rolling suitcases, thus leaving room for souveniers in the bigger one. i have my three favorite books, (my friends of ink and paper) in my back pack (Wicked, The Devil Wears Prada, and Phantom by Susan Kay), my CDs and CD player, my camera and the digital video, and Corky.

i still can't believe it. about five hours from now, i'll be on the airplane.

omg...i'm gonna be in NY. it's hit me...but it hasn't...do you understand?

it won't really hit me until i see the city...and maybe even then it won't. i won't know until i get there...

i'm tired, like my eyes are heavy, but at the same time they're wide awake, so i'm really awake, but tired. it's so random. and odd. and everything is just surreal right now. i would say somebody pinch me, but i would get too many offers, and then i would get bruised because i know it's real. 

i wonder when dinner will be ready...we're having meaty gravy over mashed potatoes...one of my favorite foods. for the next five days i'll be eating at resteraunts...and for breakfast i will have that oatmeal on the go, granola bars and beef jerky. yippee. it will basically be the choir trip all over again. except this time i won't be in Washington...

wow. the last time i was "far away" from my family was when I went to Kennewick and Seattle for the choir trip. 

i have butterflies in my stomach. i've been excited all day. oh, and there's this guy in my history class who likes me. *smiles* he's nice. he listens to me and understands me. he may not agree with all i say, but he doesn't criticize my thinking. and i listen to him and understand, and though i don't agree with all he says either, he makes good points too. he's not *searches for word*...clingy either. and, considering i've told him that i'm an independent woman and that "I love you," is sacred to me in the situation of bf/gf...hmm. 

i guess he has potential...but that's all i'm gonna say about him right now...because i have more important things on my mind.

so...i have to get off now. daddy has to check in my ticket online and...

i'm going to NY.

Good bye y'all, i love you so much, and i will update ASAP!

lots of love,
Katherine

80 Questions I Guarantee You've Never Answered

Do you watch the Gilmore Girls?
Never have.

Have you ever enjoyed listening to Jack Johnson?
Who?

Have you ever seen or enjoyed watching the O.C.?
Overly dramatic.

Do you have one or more Britney Spears C.D.s?
Two. I fell under the "ooh, cool song" thing and now i find them annoying and don't listen to them.

Which radio stations are your favorites?
K-103, Z-100...yup.

Are you a Lost fanatic?
No. Occasionally I will watch part of an episode, but not really watch it. I'm not into it.

[[Be honest]]

Still have pictures of your Ex?
Yes, cuz I spent lots of money on them. Winter Formal pics.

Do you have a song by Ozzy Osbourne in your library? 
No.

Queen?
No, but I like Queen.

Alannis Morsette?
No.

Do you watch Family Guy regularly?
No...

King of the Hill? 
Never.

[[Admit it]]

Do you read trashy romance novels often?
Not trashy romance.

Do you really work out every day?
Not in a gym, but i dance every day.

have you ever eaten an entire pint of ice cream by yourself? 
Uh, duh, yes.

Have you ever eaten nothing but junk food for a week straight?
No. I work in healthy meals sometime during the week.

Do you ever forget to give a Christmas/birthday present?
B-day prezzie, yes.

Do you sing obnoxiously in the car?
Not usually, but at Christmas time i do with the radio. But not really obnoxiously.

Do you sing obnoxiously in the shower when no one's home?
Yes. I sing in the shower if someone is home. But the best time to hear me sing obnoxiously is if theres no one home but me and becca. that's good.

Have you ever watched a little kid's show when you were an adult?
I'm not quite an adult...but I have watched little kids' shows, yes, when i was sick and there was nothing on tv.

Have you ever looked forward to going to school?
Yes, but that's only when stuff is boring at home or bad at home. Which doesn't happen too often.

[[The Necessary Love Questions That Aren't So Necessary]]

Have you ever pretended your crush was with you when they werent?
*snort* no.

Did you draw pictures for your first crush back in elementary school?
No, i didn't have the patience back then. If i did draw pictures, they were for me, or for my family.

Have you ever liked a girl/boy but didnt ask her/him out?
Only all the time.

Have you ever written a poem or story about your life?
Not about my life...how does this relate to love?

Have you ever spent over an hour thinking about nothing but your crush?
I don't have the attention span to do that, come on, let's get real.

Have you ever liked someone solely for their appearance?
I'm not that superficial.

[[The Questions You Love: Completely and Utterly Pointless Ones]]

Do you eat all the servings in the food groups on a daily basis?
I try, but no one's perfect. It's more of an inverted triangle though...

Are you ever a freak about cleanliness or organization?
Haha! *gigglesnort* I attempt to be organized, but it never works out. I'm too busy to be organized, and once I try to organize something, I can never find it, and thus tear all my organizations apart looking for what i was missing, when it was in an obvious place all the time and...I'm not organized.

Have you ever been to South America or Africa?
No. Someday i will go to South America or Africa though.

Do you know how to knit?
No, never been an artsy/craftsy person in that aspect of knitting/crocheting/embroidery/cross stitching.

Do you have a cell phone or iPod with a patterned cover?
No. *le sigh*

Have you ever written love song lyrics yourself and put them in your profile?
shouldn't this question go in the love section?

Do you keep a diary or journal online?
No, I don't keep an online journal. I only write about my life on livejournal.com. What would this be then if not an online journal?

When you open your closet, what is the dominant color of your closet?
Hmm...i have an abundance of color. No one color dominates cuz i have such a variety of shades of colors, but blue, pink, tan, and red are pretty equal and the most dominate, i guess.

[[Truly Unusual This or That Questions]]

Baskin Robbins or Coldstone?
Both. Depends on mood and where i am.

America or Canada?
America, but Canada is cool.

Physics or chemistry?
Ugh, neither.

Earphones or headphones?
Headphones.

pink or teal?
BOTH! I love both. It's impossible to make me choose between colors usually.

Earrings or a ring?
Puh-lease. You can't make me choose between accessories either.

Commitment or casual dating?
I like to start with casual dating, and then move into commitment as i get to know. Or i would if i actually did, you know?

Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?
Harry Potter. But I'm not OMGWTFOMFGHPF!

Fly or road trip?
Depends on who i'm with, and where I'm going, but i like both.

Starbucks or Caribou?
Starbucks! hehe...i like coffee. my coffee...

[[Another Wave of Random Questions]]

What is your favorite Disney movie? 
Can't really pick, cuz i love bunches for all different reasons.

How much jewelry do you own?
Do you need an actual number? cuz...that would take years for me to count all my jewelery...i just have a lot...I'm an accessories whore.

Have you ever bought clothing at Sears?
Yeah. They have good stuff there. Got a bunch of things and sale and stuff.


So...it's 12:24 right this minute i'm typing this sentence. that means that it's Dec 3rd, so i have to say yesterday.

i'm really sore from dance yesterday morn, and i dunno why. saw VDT's Nutcracker. It was...different...some of the choreography was a little boring, like there was dead spots/empty music, and the littler girls didn't really dance but skipped in circles. all the costumes were very pretty...except for spanish though. i thought those were really ugly. anyway. all the girls were gorgeous. i haven't seen them in like a year or so, and everyone has improved so much! it was amazing. and it felt really good to see everyone again. but it's amazing how you can feel so out of it. there were so many inside jokes that i wasn't a part of. it was kind of sad. 

do i miss Nutcracker? A little. i didn't miss all the rehearsing, but the performing was always fabulous. but, you know, it was fun to be part of the audience. I mean, this was the first VDT Nutcracker I had seen performed live since i was 7. All the other years I've been in it.

Anywhoodlies. I'm getting tired, so i might go to bed. but i'm not sure.

so...ttyl.

lots of love,
Katherine
