happy day after the 4th of july. i spent the 4th eating lots of food with good buddies, playing frisbee until it go too dark, and watching fireworks. good times overall!

on saturday afternoon i was eating some tortilla chips and caso for lunch and chipped one of my bottom front teeth. so that totally sucks and since i have some anxiety about going to the dentist, as many of my close friends know, i'm a bit stressed now. the chip is not super noticable (except that i can constantly feel it) and it doesn't hurt. my mom said something about how i'd have to get a root canal which terrified me to the depths of my soul. i'll find out for sure soon enough, but not today as dentist's offices and all other offices are closed for the holiday except texas a&m. figure that one out? it's crazy.

in other news, mike and i went to see dodgeball on saturday night and it is one of the funniest movies i have seen in a long long time. we laughed our asses off pretty much from beginning to end. go see this movie. right now! stop reading and go. do it!

that's all for now from the snaggled-toothed yank.

settling in
Topic: bored at work
so, i'm getting settled in to both of my new offices today. it's kind of fun to make the space mine, but i've been so tired lately that it's not as exciting as maybe it should be.

not a lot going on with me right now. have a few trips that might be coming up, including a weekend in vegas and some time up north. looking forward to a break no matter where it is!

so, there was a time when i used match.com to try to find people to hang out with and possibly date. i actually went on one date with a guy i met on match and it was scary to say the least. i went on another date with a more normal guy who then met someone else the next weekend and they are still dating. needless to say, my faith in finding people who aren't freaks on match has diminished significantly after an email i received today. it was from a liberal, christian married couple who practice "poly-fidelity." this was by far one of the wackiest propositions ever and i have made sure that my match profile is hidden now. apparently it is still visible even if you're not paying the subscription costs, so people can view it and then send you emails asking you if you want to become a "part of their family" and have an emotional bond with them that could eventually become physical. to me, this sounds like the beginning of some scary serial killer movie. needless to say, i am not taking them up on the offer to be their "poly-mate". i know that it said i was open minded in my profile, but damn! what the hell attracted a married couple with two sons? must be my hot ass. or the fact that i'm so money and don't even know it. (a quote from the movie swingers if you have for some reason not seen that kick ass movie.) or maybe it was my match handle: aggieswingerchicmonkeyass. just kidding! it doesn't say monkey ass. :)

in other news, looks like i might have a subleaser for my apartment. no, not the poly-spouse couple. :)

Topic: whoops...i'm a bit drunk!
hi guys. i asked a question before about blog etiquette and no one answered it, but i'm guessing that blogging while slightly intoxicated is not a good idea. and yet, i write anyway. i keep correcting my typos but should probably leave them in for the full effect. whatever.

so, i went out with some old friends and new friends tongiht. lately i've been feeling a little nostalgic about my awesome friends. i think it's because transitions are on the horizon. people are moving, i'm staying here, things are changing, blah blah blah. you'd think by now i'd be used to life's changes, but it's just never easy for some reason. don't get me wrong, i couldn't be happier for my friends and the positive changes coming up for so many of them. i really am fortunate because i surround myself with hilarious, talented, intelligent people, who i learn from and have so much fun with it should be illegal. my friends are so valuable to me and i want only good things for all of them. i'm just a selfish ho sometimes and wish i was closer to them or that things could kind of stay the same, because it's so good. stupid being drunk. can't articluate thoughts.

bottom line: if you are my friend and reading this, know that i love ya and appreciate ya and want so much good stuff for ya'll. i know that when things change, it is almost always for the better and that friendships that matter and are strong and cool will and do survive change and transitions. i also know that drinking a bad lieutenantsla=sdra (i can't spell that sober), a colorado bulldog, and other stuff in a sort amount of time makes kate a cheese ball. (and sometimes causes her to fall out of trucks or yell at sucky bands) anyway, i'm going to bed. love you guys. thanks for being my friend even though i'm buck wild and nutty.

hugs not drugs!

weird dreams
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: what the?!
so, i kind of have recurring dreams. a couple of times a year i have tornado dreams. those probably happen during times when a lot of stuff is changing or something. usually i'm the person warning everyone about the impending tornado and trying to convince them to take shelter. the other night i had one and i wasn't warning people. instead, it just hit the house i was living in a jacked up a big part of it. crazy. the other dream i have sometimes is that my teeth are really loose and are about to fall out. no idea what that's about but it pops up every once in a while too.

last night's dream involved me driving a car i had never driven before that was really hard to control. like the accelator would go buck wild when i would touch it. i was with two friends in the car (i think tim and mike) and we were trying to get out of a parking garage. i ended up smashing into an el camino and ripping the whole bed of it off. my passengers told me not to worry about it and keep going, but i worried anyway. i told tim about this dream and his interpretation is that i'm concerned about them corrupting me and me not being able to overcome their influence. considering that i'm writing about this in a weblog...he might be right. doh!

had a good time talking to a few friends on the phone last night and thoroughly enjoyed getting to sleep in this morning. i don't know what's on tap for this weekend other than fun times and a lot of freakin' rain. have a good one kids.
