those of you who don't read my other journal should read this and answer me this question here:
today i was thinking, on the way back up to goodwill to take matt his wallet and tobacco, i was thinking about theme songs because i was listening to the beatles' "sexy sadie" on repeat in the car.
i've decided that if we lived in a world where people had theme songs, i would pick "sexy sadie" by the beatles. i'd get first pick because it was my idea. no one else could pick a song after someone had picked it. the songs would start playing when you walked into certain places and then just fade out after you'd been in the room/building/what have you for awhile. it would play when you got to work in the morning or whenever it was that you went to work. it would play when you came home. it would play when you met your friends to eat at that restaurant. maybe it would even play when you woke up in the morning and when you fell asleep at nite.
it could play at lots of different times. or not play. if you didn't feel like it for some reason.
what song would you pick (and why) for your theme song?
i pick "sexy sadie" because if someone were to write a song about me i'd want it to be like that one. it has little to do with my obvious like for the name sadie...although that is definitely an added bonus.

ok, dudes, update your lists cause i have a new journal. no real reason for the change other than that i just have hated the name katerobin for ages and now i can change it because i don't need to beg someone for another invite code.
enjoy!
who knows if i'll still use this journal, i guess just leave it on your lists and we'll see what happens.

ben lee "10 ft. tall" |

today is the christmas-est day i've had yet.
last nite katie spent the nite and we watched santa claus conquers the martians...it was weird and hilarious as expected...and joel's michel gondry music video/commercial/short flim dvd...it was impressive and amazing as expected.
on the second side of the michel gondry dvd there was a video for lucas "lucas with the lid off" and it took me back to THE SIXTH GRADE and reminded me of KEVIN SUCHMA. it was funny and i told my mom about it on the phone this morning on the way home from the airport.
i took katie to the airport this morning. she gave me $20 for gas and my trouble but i told her to take it back. she wouldn't, so on my way back home i stopped by top foods and bought us a christmas tree! with that and $10 of my own money. it's about three feet tall and potted so it will live for a while and i really like it. right now it just has white lights, but i got some cheap glass ornaments at target...i just didn't realize that they didn't have hooks on them. we'll have to get some hooks later.
my goal for today was to get at least half of my christmas shopping done and i thought it would take all day. well, i got all of it done by like 1:30 or 2, so i went to k records and had lunch with joel at old school.
then i went to goodwill and the girl told me that the managers said to stop bugging them until after new year's, but that she thought they were going to hire a lot of people then because there are lots of positions open.
i spent matt's lunch break with him at 4, we walked around safeway, talked to sean, ate bread and hummus. at 4:30 when i was leaving i thought "hm, i wonder if joel is done working and would like a ride home rather than riding his bike in the rain." but then i thought "maybe he's not done. he always calls when he's coming home, i'll just go home and wait for him to call."
joel called almost the exact second i walked in the door.
i went to go pick him up, but he was upstairs and the doors were locked. i banged on the window using my car key to tap really loud.
nothing.
i looked around for a small rock or something to throw at the upstairs window (which looked dark and not like joel would hear it anyway).
nothing.
i honked the horn.
nothing.
i stood at the door looking longingly in the window and up the stairs to where joel was probably playing the drums or the piano or something and thought and thought and shivered in the cold.
nothing.
i got back in the car, honked the horn again and thought that maybe i should just go home and wait for him to call again. i wished that i'd brought my cell phone. i wished that i knew the phone number to k records.
joel came outside.
now we're home and i am sitting next to our cute little christmas tree feeling joyful (thank you, katie carson!).
my gramma sent me $100 for christmas, and that is almost exactly how much i spent on presents this year. that makes me happy because i didn't really know what i wanted to do with that money, and now it's got a use. or, it had a use, because it is definitely gone now.
my favorite part of christmas is getting awesome presents for people i adore, and this year i have definitely succeeded.
i'm going to make some tea and be warm.
p.s. i can't find my house/mail keys or my drivers lisence. someone find them for me, for real.

these days there isn't much for me to do but sit around and wait to get better. so i've been thinking a lot about various things. most of them are things i don't want to write in my livejournal.
but here's one.
olympia has a relatively large transgender/gender queer/etc. population. i have semi-met quite a few more trans kids here than i have anywhere else, and i think that's really cool. my question is, what do you think it is that makes a person look either male or female? i mean, i keep thinking about it and i can't pin it down to any specific thing or things, but sometimes i see someone and i know that he was a girl, or she was a boy. sometimes i don't have a clue. i'm interested to hear what you people have to say about this.
also. nancy and katie came over today with chicken the cat and sat on our "couch" and talked with sick kate for a bit. it was really nice.
CHICKEN CAT LOOKS JUST LIKE PANTHER (before he got fat).
also again. secrets!
also again. joel just did some crazy backward somersault-jump up-kick-dance thing. and then calmly sat back down.

so, if someone says that she/he/whatever thinks that something you like is stupid, would that hurt your feelings? or am i being irrational?
i feel so. put upon or something.
also, i had a hangnail, and i ripped it off, and now my right pinkie has that dull ache.
fuck this. i'm going to bed.
p.s. i sent my dad the link to my writing totally uncensored. he hasn't talked to me since. i don't know if it has anything to do with the writing, but i really hope it doesn't.

dilemma: my dad wants to see my writing. i have no problem with that, except that i have a moral dilemma. do i let him read the things i wrote about him? do i let him read the negative things that i wrote about him? i don't know how he'll take it. i don't know if he'll put it in the right perspective or not. i sort of want him to know those things. i sort of don't.
any help would be appreciated.

- i was thinking today about our sisters day in austin not too long ago and i've decided that meg, corinna, and carlisle have to come to oly sometime within the next year.
that is an order, not a request!

so there's one pet peeve i have above all others and that is bad spelling/poor grammar/etc.
i'm so sick of people saying things like "your" when they mean "you're" and "tradgic" instead of "tragic". or any other mistake like those.
i mean, obviously other people don't care as much as i do about not looking like a moron when they type in a journal that IS ON THE INTERNET. but i guess it's really more than that because i'd care even if i were the only one who read this.
believe me when i say that i correct my mistakes even in my paper journal. or anything that i write. ever. no matter what.
come on people, livejournal even has a spell-check feature built right into the update page.
sorry about the rant, i'm feeling particularly spelling anal right now.
take no offense if this in any way applies to you, i'm not really talking about anyone on my friends list anyway. i'm just being bitchy.

the postal service "nothing better" in my head |

just a few things.
+ kill bill, if you were wondering, was awesome. i say go just to hear the amazing music.
+ my new favorite juice is pomegrante juice.
+ roller skating is something that everyone should do more often.
+ i have a job interview in 1 hour and 2 minutes. and it's at the ONE place i applied that i would actually want to work.
+ my bike is fixed and i get to go pick it up in a few minutes. i will ride it every day from now until it falls apart and i have to fix it again or buy a new one.
+ it snowed again.
+ meg and sarah are coming over tonite and we're going to make an awesome dinner. and maybe meg will bring adrianna.
+ so far the person i think i have the most in common with here in olympia is meg. apparently it's unavoidable. inavoidable? i dunno. i can't avoid it.
- it rained soon after the snowing so most of it has melted away.
- my throat hurts in that achey way, so i'm scared i might be getting sick. really bad sick.
- i am pretty sure that the kids in olympia (at least the ones in our apartment complex) never go to school. they are always playing outside our bedroom window, it doesn't matter what time of day it is. and they are always loud.
as you can see, olympia is treating me well. minus a few inconsequential things. at least i hope.

some strokes song joel got stuck in my head |

joel has been playing the strokes a lot lately. and it is just always stuck in my head.
anyway. i have so many things to write that i cannot write any of them. there is way way way too much.
i got a new cell phone, if you want the number, leave a comment or something. and then maybe someday i'll be able to get online again and i can give it to you.
or something.
the thing i like the most about olympia is that i see the same people everywhere i go.
EVERYWHERE.
i mean. it is small. and it doesn't feel small. but it does.
i have an interview with toys 'r' us sometime next week. the guy on the phone was weird and vague, but he's supposed to call me back on sunday. if i get this job it will be a feat because NO ONE can seem to find a job here. and i've been here for much much much less than a month.
and i haven't really even been looking yet.
p.s. i had the best birthday i can remember having in quite some time. you have no idea how important the "remember" part of that sentence is.
