Since i am a crafty child. I agreed to update the house hold phones. When i did, i discovered i could upgrade my dad’s phone to a Cherry Chocolate from Verizon for FREE. Now, how could i pass up an offer like that?!?! I would order that phone and then we could switchy the numbers and vola! Katie gets a Chocolate!!! I may be crafty, but i aint too smart. I ordered them on a saturday, and had to wait 2 buisness days to get the phone, so i had to wait all stinking weekend for them to arrive in the mail. Then, they tricked me! They sent on of the phone on tuesday (not mine…of course) and i had to wait until wednesday for my phone! Finally it came and after spending 2 hours with it, trying to activate it, my dad and i spent another hour at verizon switching the adresses. Then we brought it home and i then discovered that you have to purchase a $30 music package to download any music onto your phone. So, my “free” phone, isnt so free anymore. The more i figure it out, the more i am realizing i need to spend more money on it. How irritating…

I am a savage. Full blown. I went hunting! Spencer called me at work on Saturday. “Hey Katie, want to go hunting?” I have never been hunting before, but how bad could it be? He promised me we wouldn’t shoot anything unless it was a really big buck and it was really close.
So he comes over and picks me up and hands me a bottle of stuff and says “here, put this all over your body, especially your face and neck and hands…” That wound up being the only place I put it. But apparently it was supposed to make me not smell like a girl. I put it on my face it burned really bad and shared deodorant with a boy (that was a first!!!) and some nasty chap stick too. We finally get to wherever we were going and his dad was there and starts handing me stuff to wear. When it was all done I was wearing ginormous camouflage overalls and big coat, gloves, a fleece neck warmer, fleece hat, and on top of that an orange hat. Oh, yeah, and some binoculars. Then we start walking across the biggest cornfield in the entire state.
We then reached our “spot” in the middle of the cornfield a mile from the truck was 3 pine trees. There we sat. and sat. and sat…FOREVER! I look over at Spencer, and we was sleeping! What? You can sleep while you hunt?!?!? SWEET!!! So, I tried to sleep, but no such luck…my legs and behind and back all hurt.
Then finally, we see a deer! It was really far away. Then Spencer whispered “Don’t move! DON’T MOVE! Look to your right!” I looked but I didn’t see anything. But I later found out that there was 3 deer there, about 40 yards away. I never saw them. Kinda embarrassing, I went hunting and I only saw one deer. And it wasn’t even the one close to me.
Yes. i had coffee, why do you ask?? November 13, 2006
I sit at the reject table in my math class…why? becuase we are late every stupid day….or barely on time…so therefore i have to sit at the reject table. Front row, middle seat, next to the blind girl. Now, i am not saying there is nothing wrong with her, but this tends to create lots of awkward situations. Partially because she can kinda see. Like she has to lean over her paper, nose to the table to read/write. Once we were doing group work and she was in our group and we were bouncing a rubber ball and measuring its height…
I must interject here to mention that i am in the dumbest math class Grand Valley has to offer. I never met so many people that dont know how to use a calculator or to graph a straight line. I told my mom that i was the smartest person in my class. she sais “Well, its about time! Now that you are in college you are finally smarter than some one else!” Thanks Mom, i feel so proud.
Anyways, she tries to catch the ball after it bounces…which is sad to watch, becuase…she cant see it! Awkward. Now, this girl, she really is a sweet girl, there is just lots of awkwarrd situatuations i dont know how to handle, today we are working on a match project and it looks so sad to see her 3 centimeters from her computer screen thats talking to her, she was going through a list and it was reading off each of the items she was going over and she stopped one and the computer kept on saying “data set. data set. data set. data set. data set” in a electronic masculine tone…
Accident Prone…maybe i am just gifted. November 11, 2006
Well, i met this boy, his name is Spencer, and every time i hang out with, something embarassing happens to me. I dont know why…i have never had this problem before, but this happens often…and its getting worse.
Like, i do a lot of tripping and stumbling, spilling, you know the usual. Once i managed to get a piece of chicken from my salad stuck on my sleeve of my shirt and i couldnt get it off, i tried to do it discretely, and of course…he noticed. Recently he bought a Jimmy, and to this day, i have not found a graceful way to get in to it! Once, i was even dressed up and i was hurrying because i was late and i litterally fell into the truck. It was not as graceful as i had planned.
But these were nothing compared to what i did on wednesday. We were watching a movie and i had placed my cell phone on the table infront of the couch. Half way through the movie, i was wondering what time it was so, instead of sorta leaning across the table, i kinda crawled onto it. and spencer said “hey, um, you…” and that was followed by some cracking sounds and then there went to table. Apparently, it was made of glass…
how embarassing….
