Come walk with me in my garden...

4:57pm: Switch
Ok, sorry. I've decided I like My Space better, it seems to mix facebook with livejournal. You can see my new blog there at:


Check me out!


Sorry for the inconvenience.

8:14pm: Procrastinating again
Ok, so I should be productive.... however,that's not happening. Friday I went to a tournament with my kids... there was this kid that came up to our table from another team. For a while he was hitting on Amie until he realized that she was the head coach. Anyway so he starts telling out kids that homosexuality ought to be punishable by capital punishment, because "faggots much die." OMG! I didn't realize that there were still people that ignorant in this world! So many of the kids on our team were freaking out. We're such an open minded team. Ok... enough ranting.

So everyone should check out Lucy's post of the rules guys should follow. Her comments are hilarious! I wish I were that witty. Ok, back to paleontology!

9:58am: Much Better Mood...
Ok, guys, sorry for last night. I don't know what my problem was. I ended up going to bed at 9:30 and woke up in a much better mood. I'm going to blame school work... even though that's probably a cop out. Anyway, have a fantastic day!

8:53pm: Stupid Fucking Hormones
Ok, so I just finally broke down and started crying. Lindsey isn't here and there's no one to call so I guess that leaves livejournal. I'm supposed to be writing a paper... I'm not being horribly productive. For some reason I've been really really sad all night. Like I'll be doing something and all of a sudden the urge to cry just hits me. I don't know why. I'm not thinking of anything. I'm not PMSing... thats three weeks away. I don't understand and I don't like it. Then Nick called and that just made me want to cry more bc he used to be the person that comforted me when I was sad. He used to hug me and cheer me up, but the thought of that just made me more sad. Josh is the person that does that now but he obviously can't from freaking Fort Jackson... and I won't even get my first letter from him until probably the middle of next week. Nothing seems to be going right for anyone around me and that makes me sad too. But once again all of these things happened after I was already ready to cry... they just were what made me break. I hate being irrational and being sad for no reason... what's wrong with me??? Ok, enough ranting, hopefully the next post will be happier.

2:57pm: Ok, so its official, Josh won't be coming back until March. He'll get to come back briefly for Thanksgiving and for two weeks over Christmas. I'm dealing quite well, if you ask me. No tears. :) Just hoping he doesn't come back with the life taken out of him.... those National Guard people are supposed to be tough...

The year is taking off! SO much work! So many meetings! So many people I wish I had time to hang out with! Speech is also kinda taking over again... I guess I should be used to that after 7 years... That's ok, I plan I working hard and playing hard.

Oh, so I have now officially been DRUNK. It was a good time. We got some vodka (I much prefer tequila) and watched some sappy Family Channel movies, and threw pretzels. Should have taken some pics, but would have probably dropped the camera.

Thats enough boringness... update later

12:00pm: WOW, I'm behind...
Hey everyone!
Ok, so I haven't updated in a bit, so this will be what has happened recently in my life in a nutshell. Obviously I'm back at school... still a Bio major. (Science sucks but I guess I'm just a nerd).

I'm also back at West High coaching again this year. I'm super excited! I had missed all my kids so much and we have SO many this year. What's kinda cool is that my little brother is doing an HI for Bettendorf, so I'll see him some weekends. I think he's excited to have someone he knows around. Also, he's a sweetheart! He called me the other day and told me he had a date for homecoming! (Sigh, he's growing up). Anyway, he's bringing the girl to Ruby Tuesday so that I can serve them. Isn't that cute that he'd want me there??? I thought so. I'm gonna try to hook him up with a dessert.

Speaking of RT, they're moving to Cedar Rapids and taking me with them (probably as a bar tender)which would be awesome! What's more awesome is that they're bringing Brandon and Josh with them. With Brandon here that means Arielle will be here on breaks! It couldn't be more perfect! Anyway, all this happens about next February, which is good timing speech season-wise. So life is good in those respects.

Currently I'm starting to stress for other reasons though. Most of you know that Josh and I have become super close, he's seriously one of my best friends. Unfortunately, he's going to the national guard this week. He's going to try to get out of if (by failing a vision test that he almost failed for real last time). Anyway, what has me worried is that I don't know if I'll see him next weekend or in six months. Kinda changes the whole outlook on things.

Anyway enough complaining! Life is generally good, I'm healthy. I have good friends, good jobs, and am trying to surround myself with the people I love. That was way super long! Sorry, they'll be shorter in the future, assuming I actually start updating more frequently!

9:48am: Back at School Again!
Hey everyone! I know its been a very very long time! I'm so sorry. Anyway, I'm back at school now, all moved into my apartment! For those of you that don't know, I'm living with Lindsey now, if you want to see the new place just give me a call!

Life has been crazy lately. Slight encounter resulting in having to call the police and have someone arrested. I felt bad, I really didn't want to but it seemed like the best thing to do at the time.

I also took my MCATs. HOLY SHIT THEY SUCKED! Every year someone breaks down and cries at each section in the middle of the test and luckily it wasn't me this year... but I thought about it! :) What really sucks is I don't think I need the MCAT anymore because I think I'm switching majors. I think I'm going to do physical therapy now. I know... GASP... Kaysha's wanted to be a doctor forever! I still do but I think I want to have a family more, and have more time with my family. I think physical therapy will give me the opportunity to do both.

Umm well I think that's it for life changing news. Next post (which will probably be in three months) will hopefully be more interesting. I love you all lots and lots!

8:20pm: Procrastination
Hey everyone! I know I haven't updated in forever and a day, and it is only a very slight coincidence that I happen to be updating the night before my giant organic chem exam. Actually, I haven't been updating lately for multiple reasons. Last weekend I was in the Dells, which was an absolute blast despite the rain and cold weather. Also, as most of you know I'm taking classes every day in Iowa City, however, I'm working, and spending most evenings, if not nights, in the Quad Cities. This means a lot of time in transit, and not very much sleep. Things have been crazy in my life lately in addition to the sucky schedual. Its way way too long and complicated to try to explain here, so lets just suffice it to say that it involves three boys, one and a half girls (other than me), one hypothetical child, lots of crying, yelling, cheating, lying, and backstabbing. Luckily most of the stuff going on is not directly happening to me!

Anyway, I miss everyone and want to see all my friends and Westies again. Feel free to call me and I'm sure I'll find a way for us to get together! You all know my number, don't be afraid to use it.


Well I should get back to studying for my test... or you know, take a nap.

10:22pm: Ah, typing...
So for those of you that don't know, I got my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. All four of them were impacted, meaning theyw ere under the skin and growing the wrong way. Anyway, one of the worst experiences of my life. I'm swollen (can you say chipmunk??) and can't open my mouth, and can't eat. Wanna know something else funny. They gave me 25 mg of valium before hand to sedate me. Now normally 10 is enough to stop a seizure. Well I got to be one of the lucky 1 in a million that it has the opposite effect on. It made me super hyper and ansy and jittery and itchy. I wanted to run a freaking marathon. Anyway, I just took more drugs so I'm gonna crash pretty soon here. Have a wonderful night!

10:35am: Let me out!
Hey everyone

So its about 10:36, I just got home from babysitting and am bored. I don't want to spend another night in, playing video games and doing nothing! But where do I go? What should I do? I'm in the mood to play pool but don't really want to go by myself. Somehow I don't think a pool hall would be the safest place for me to be alone. Although it is a monday night... What a summer vacation! Oh well. No funny stories, sorry.

11:22am: My new favorite pass time
OMG! I looooooooooooooove sleep. Did anyone notice the time?? 11:22!!! I got up at 11! This makes me incredibly happy. I get two weeks to sleep in so I'm going to take full advantage. Except, I did get woken up incredibly early by the neighbor's dog. Its cute but I sweat it is the yippiest dog in the entire world. It has the screechiest, most high pitched bark, and it barks CONSTANTLY for hours at a time. Its a saturday, if you know your dog is loud, why put him out at 7:30 in the morning? Do you want you neighbors to hate you? Do you want your dog to wind up dead? or with its voice box missing?? all of the above? That's what it seems like to me.

Random observation: I was on the top floor Schaffer yesterday dropping off a paper. For those of you unfamiliar, Schaffer is a building of the University. Anyway, I go into the first door of the women's rest room and find myself standing in front of two doors, one actually does go into the women's bathroom. The second goes to a "Lactation Room." Here's where I'm confused. I'm assuming that a "Lactation Room" translates into a "Breast Feeding Room." Why the hell does a University building need one? Its not like most students have babies. And those that do don't bring them to class with them. Somehow I don't think the professors would be ok if I raised my hand and were like "excuse me, I need to be excused so I can breast feed my baby here." I suppose some of the younger professors might breast feed, but where would they put the baby while they were in class? And they all have offices there, with no windows, they could do the "lactation procedure" there. Maybe its for visitors, although those poor mama's would have to lug their baby and their breasts up to the top floor which would suck.

11:45am: Ahh a short break
Hey, so I just finished my last final (physics, my fav). Anyway I'm stuck on campus because the next bus doesn't come for 45 min. Then I'm gonna go home and pack and head back to the Quad Cities for a while. Next Wednesday I'll be back though to have my four wisdom teeth extracted. I can't wait. Then I'll be back and forth until the beginning of June when I start my Kaplan MCAT course and Organic Chem II at the U. Once I'm back you are welcome and encouraged to come visit me all you like! I'll miss being home with everyone over the summer, but what can you do?

Still single and highly disappointed with the entire male population. I'm reading a book about a 51 year old woman who never fell in love and never got married. I'm wondering if I'll turn into that type of old spinster. Hopefully I'll at least have kids, even if I don't get married. (My dad would cry if he heard me say that).

Ok, sorry, my brain is fried so I'll write more later! Have a great beginning of summer!

11:52am: Hey everyone,

I know I haven't updated in a long long time. I'm sorry. I've been super busy! I'm currently back in the QC, going back home in a little bit. Anyway, life has been interesting. Work is so much fun! When you don't act like a total ditz then you end up hanging out more with guys than with girls. So I end up hearing all sorts of conversations not normally meant for a female's ears. Last night I was wishing I were a guy so I can derive as much enjoyment out of watching someone walk away! The thing is, while they talk like guys around and to me, I'm still a girl that they would totally have sex with if they could abd they make this very clear. I think its funny. First you talk about whether you'd "do this girl" or that girl, you call this girl a slut and that girl a whore, and talk about the action you got last night... then you proposition me? Yeah because I want whatever nice diseases you've picked up along the way. Please share them. Granted not all of them are that bad. A lot of the guys I work with are complete sweethearts that are protective of me. Also most guys I know have a thing with picking me up. Maybe the fact that they can pick me up makes them feel macho or buff. But you know what, my little brother is the skinniest, wimpiest boy ever and he can pick me up, so it doesn't mean a lot. Sorry I know that was a big rant about my work, last night was just... entertaining and I thought I'd share.

Anyway, its time to eat. I'll maybe post sometime in the next couple of months! :)

I miss my speechies!!!

10:14pm: My MP3 player came... yay!!! Ok so maybe this is super artsy fartsy but I was walking around today and listening to my music and it was kinda cool. It was like I was in my own little special world and no one else had a clue what I was hearing. I kinda liked the feeling.

Anyway, I'm facing major burn out. I've been so crabby lately... not wanting to talk to anyone. No matter how much work I do I always feel like I'm still way far behind. And I have to do EXTREMELY well on my MCATS if I want a chance of getting into med school, meaning this summer I have to take a $1,450 class to prep me for them since my stupid physics class didn't covery everything I'm gonna need and because I'm organic chemistry challenged. I'm also retaking organic II this summer. I also need to volunteer at the hospital. And get a full time job to pay for the stupid MCAT class. And continue to do BBBS things. Oh yeah, somewere in their I'm supposed to relax and get a tan and have a summer.

Oh well, guess its life. Just beware if you run into me on the street. If smoke is coming out my ears... RUN LIKE HELL!

My hamster is being weird, I hope he's not sick.

My fish ate my other fish and eats all of my frog's food!

I miss SEGA.

And Rainbow Brite

And high school and my parents paying for everything and cooking and cleaning and doing everything for me.

5:07pm:

Your Seduction Style: The Natural

You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen. Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people. You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find! People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast.

10:32am: Ok, so I know its been forever, what can I say? I'm a pre-med student. (not that anyone reads this thingy anyway) I finally got to go ice skating!!! I pulled off a few good scratch spins but had major trouble with the sit spin and jumping. :( Oh well, at least I got to go even if I'm the worst skater in the entire world now (Next to Rob).

Friday night was AWESOME. I took a nap, then my family came in town and took me out to eat. Then Lindsey and I watched a girlie movie and ate choc covered strawberries and just did nothing all night.

Saturday night was a bar crawl but I'm cool and left after 10 min bc it sucked! I saw the notebook beforehand so was kinda in a sappy mood. Lindsey and I ended up watching yet another girlie movie and eating cookie dough.

Yesterday I read in the sun and now one side of me is more tan than the other. Cool huh? I'll look like two face from batman.

I'm anxiously awaiting the UPS man who should be bringing my MP3 player. Unfortunatley I think I'm getting the case before the actual player because they shipped it first. I suppose I can walk around with the case on my hip pretending to listen to music... or not. Well I have to get ready for my appointment with my advisor. Ciao!

3:16pm: SCARY BUS RIDE! So I sat down on the bus which was super crowded today, and this guy sits next to me. Now this is a big guy with tattoos that is probably 35-40. Anyway he starts asking me all sorts of questions so I get out a book and pretend to be completely entralled. Then he starts asking me questions about the book. I respond shortly and quickly. Then he keeps trying to get me to read to him. Sheesh was this guy persistent!!! and I kept saying "NO, I don't want to read a book aloud on the bus" It was weird because he was leaning so close to me that he could have read the book for himself. Could he not read? Maybe not. He wasn't in the greatest shape. Then he's all like "Do you live around here," and I said yes. Then he told me he was going to pick up his pay check and wanted my number. I said no, and he said he could bring my nice presents." I said no thank you and got off the bus in a hurry! Somehow lindsey never picked up on my mental signals for her to call me so I wouldn't have to talk to him!

Tomorrow we're going out to celebrate Lindsey's birthday! Should be lots of fun!

Didn't get to go skating bc class let out WAY WAY late, then I had to analyze NMR spectra with NUTS, then I had to eat. Oh well, maybe next week if I don't work.

11:19pm: Rags to riches?
So I was talking to Casey and we decided we're no longer getting married and becoming vigilantes, mainly because we can't remember why we were going to in the first place. We did, however, come up with a plan for me to make major money! I'm gonna be a porn star! See, I'm over 18 so everything is completely legal. But I easily look 15 or 16. I could so fit the school girl fantasy! I just need a preppy school girl outfit, pigtails, super high socks, and saddle shoes. Then I'll tie my shirt up really high so everyone can see my KILLER abs... and presto! instant fortune! No more stupid studying! No more organic chemistry! Can I get a hallelujah??? Of course first I need to learn how to rid myself of these pesky morals and standards that my conscience keeps reminding me of. Hopefully that won't take long...


P.S. Still wanna go ice skating tomorrow afternoon....

10:17am: Hey all,

Currently in an ITC, printing out some Biostat assignments. Anyway, I'm in a really good mood today because I finally got enough sleep and I'm pretty well on top of my work (which is a rarity). Also, I worked out last night and I plan to as soon as I get home. (I'm currently waiting for my bus so I can go there). That is one thing I really missed over break, getting to work out every day! I'm so addicted to endorphins. It makes me so happy after I get done. Oh well, I guess if I'm gonna be addicted to anything it might as well be working out! Much better than gummy bears or heroine.

Break was good but I'm happy to be back, in my own place, with a somewhat normal schedual again, even if it is insanely early. I'm also glad to be back with my friends. I love my family and all, but they can't replace all the people in my life here.

Yesterday was Lindsey's 19th birthday (also, Kip's birthday, and my would-be two and a half year anniversary) so we're going out friday night! Should be loads of fun! Anyway, I'm off to catch my bus. I promise to attempt to be wittier later!

12:00pm: Furthering my education...
Lessons I learned this weekend:

1. TV show marathon can be very addictive (Dr 90210, and America's Next Top Model both in one day)

2. Pool Lounges with people you don't know suck on Saturday nights... lots of sitting around being bored. Everyone is in clicks just like middle school.

3. I like places with dance floors so much better!

4. Rudy is a sweetheart... even if only to me

5. If you do yoga in the morning, it doesn't hit you the next day, it hits you at approx 1:15 am.

6. Craig Arnold actually speaks and can be really nice

7. Never let your roommates boyfriend mix you a daquiri. I swear, its more rum than daquiri.

8. Homemade pizza at 3am is amazingly yummy!

9. I can still kick ass in cards even when I'm drunk.

10. POUNCE: Best card game in the whole world.... horrible game for even mildly intoxicated people. (NEVER EVER try to teach drunk people)

11. Cute guys will look at me, but never speak to me. Damn, maybe if I hung out with 14 year olds.

12. I must miss nick more than I though, bc I keep calling him

13. Always check the soles of shoes for random sewn 3D inlays before purchasing. (They're inside the shoe, why the hell would anyway sew big designs in there that then become indents into your foot in pretty patterns but hurt like hell????)

14. If you're going to take your jacket off in the car, make sure you have your keys with you when you exit and lock said car. Otherwise you wait for an hour for the police and your boss calls you a dumbass.

15. Too much water after alcohol, doesn't make you feel better, it makes you feel like a giant fat balloon waiting to burst.

16. I LOVE MY FRIENDS SOOOOOO MUCH!

3:57pm: I found this. I'm not sure exactly what it is or how it works but it seemed fun! I'll write a real entry later... mabye

1:31pm: Oh how far we have come...
So last night I went out to the bars again. Megan, my Uncle Rudy's girlfriend really wanted me to go. I'm apparently her new best friend. She's a sweetheart.

Anyway, we went to the Union and I got in for free since Rudy's roommate works there. Honestly it kinda sucked. The music was bad and there were no cute guys. A couple tried to dance with me but got too touchy feely for me.

HUGE bitch fight in the girls bathroom. There's only one stall for the whole place and all these girls squeezed into the tiny bathroom in line. Anyway, this waitress comes in and cuts in front of everyone and is totally bitchy about it. All the girls, very drunk, freak out and start yelling and cursing and name calling. When the girl finally leaves (without washing her hands... GROSS) she calls us all dumb whores.

Then we go wait for a cab (and laugh at all the girls falling on their asses in the snow bc they're so drunk, I know, we're mean). As we wait for a cab, another cab hits a limo and there's a big ordeal between the drivers.

Then there's this girl who literally can't hold herself up and is gagging herself. I felt so bad for the guy holding her up. Then there's a huge fight in the hotel lobby. We want to get out of the way so we go out to the parking lot... guess what, another fight. Then the cops come... WAY too late. But since there are like 5 cop cars with no cops in them none of the cabs can leave.

When we finally get in a cab... one of the long SUV ones, there were 14 people in it! Everyone was on top of everyone else. Since I'd hardly had anything to drink I was the only one sober. Seriously, it was a riot.

Anyway, that was my saturday night adventure... off to homework.

12:50pm: Guess who's joined the club...
Hey all! After much convince from multiple people I've decided to join the livejournal craze. Why not share all my personal experiences, thoughts, fears, and hopes with the entire world via the internet? Although, I reiterate, no one will find it worth reading.
