A Little Bit of Love Goes a Long Way
From reading my blog I'm sure most of you have found that I am not an extremely serious person. If something can be fun, I would rather take the fun route. But certain things exist in our society that have a severe depletion of "fun", and all surrounding synonyms.
War, poverty, sickness, and sadly so many other categories are plagued by this deficit. Its hard to have any effect on such huge, world wide problems. And its hard to sit back while people are suffering through them. But sometimes, just sometimes, there is something we can do to help.
It may be a donation, an event, or even just a letter of support.
This past weekend I was lucky enough to participate in a fundraising event that's goals were not only to raise money but also to bring in a wave of fun to the people that need it most in my community. The Kids.
Soonerathon was the event I participated in along with a couple hundred of my closest friends. It was an event that's goal was to raise over 100,000 dollars for the OU Children's Hospital, taking the form of a 12 hour dance marathon in which we were required to stay on our feet and shake it for the kids, and with the kids, the very patients we were raising money for.
Being around these children that were fighting an array of diseases was way more than just inspiring, it was such an amazing experience that I'm actually at a loss for words.
Good thing I have pictures, I hear those are worth a thousand.
I hope all of you are doing well <3

As you can see, even dealing with the struggles of sickness, they are able to keep these extremely positive, happy, and fun demeanors, something I can strive to always have.
One of the great joys of doing good works, is doing them with the people that you love. And I certainly experienced that. I've heard that the friends you make in college, are the friends you keep for life, and based on the friends I've made in college, I certainly hope thats true. I have never known more selfless, and giving people than my closest friends. Doing this event with them meant more than I will ever be able to admit. Sharing the love, the overwhelming happiness and this great memory will bond us forever, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Overall the event was a huge success in so many ways, and I was so happy to be a part of it. Thank you to the sponsors, the staff, the coordinators, the donators, the dancers, the families, and of course, the kids. By the end of the night, the fundraising total had an unreal number:
196,034.62 dollars. Raised by normal students with a dream to bring the fun and happiness and needed research and funding to the deserving youths of our community.
This is a memory I will never forget and I intend to keep in the forefront of my mind so that my entire life is driven by hope and success of this event.
I hope you all strive to find the love and fun where it normally wouldn't be found, or where it isn't easy to have it. Every little bit can really go a long way.
I love you all. Thank you for staying with me through my hiatus and still checking my blog, your traffic to this blog did not go unnoticed and it will be rewarded, I intend to post at least one blog a week, if not more. I think this is a reasonable goal to start out with and I will strive to accomplish it!

Lies of Omission
I mean come on, technically we have all been guilty of omitting something for the better of the majority. Sometimes, you want to spare feelings, prevent drama, or even just keep a little mystery in your life.
But what about those things that could be harmful to other people? For me at least, thats a no brainer, you tell them. Say you have pink eye, simple enough, super annoying but not too hard to handle. If I had pink eye and had been exposed to my friends or strangers, I would immediately tell those certain people that needed to know. Sure I would be embarrassed that I had contracted such a thing but in that circumstance, I would feel worse if that thing I had was spread to my friends and I hadn't even told them about it. How scary would that be? To just have something wrong with you but not know what it was or where you got it from?
That would be bad kids, very bad and highly irresponsible.
So I am here to tell you this: If there is something wrong with you that is contagious. TELL PEOPLE. If you don't you're being an inconsiderate asshole. Sorry, but it's true.
It may be a simple as pink eye, or as severe as a transmittable disease
Be honest, be upfront, and don't be embarrassed. It will be better for everyone if you just get it out of the way.
Obviously this is something in some form or another that I am currently experiencing, I will not go into details but something like the above is currently having a large effect on my life, and I do not like it.
I hope you are all having spectacular weeks and that if you are in school you are nearing the end and are about to move on! Yay.
Have a super lovely day!

Musings from the Insomniac
Superlatives. I never realized just how often I use them. "Oh this is the funniest show ever" Do you know how many shows I've dubbed to be "the funniest ever"? No? Well neither do I. But, I can tell you this, when I was just watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother, for about the fifth time, I uttered that exact phrase. However I bet that I've said that in numerous shows. When I was younger it would have been in reference to Gilmore Girls, where I learned just how funny sarcasm could be. Later on it could have been Friends, and several others, but today it's HIMYM (the new Friends), tomorrow it will probably be New Girl. Which brings me to this question: How reliable am I? My opinions change daily, though this is based on something minute and unimportant as television, I'm sure I stick to character in other areas, how soon will it be until I say speak the words "greatest movie ever" or "Best food I've ever had"? Oh dear. I believe I've said these phrases even more than the former. Are superlatives ruining my life? Maybe. But it could also be the lack of sleep I've had over the past seven days (Insomnia one week anniversary!!)
I hope that where ever you are, you stick to your guns, that you aren't a superlative whore like I've found myself to be. I also really hope you've all been getting more sleep than I have, and I hope you're having a wonderful week
Because I missed it last week based on my feelings of being lazy on holidays, let me say this now. I am thankful for the life I lead, for the opportunities that are set before me, though I on the occasion make light of them. I am thankful for my family close-knit and extended, these are the people that will be with me till the end....whether they like it or not. I am also thankful for the people I choose to surround myself with, pleased with how new relationships have begun and grown and even happier with those I've been able to retain. I love you all, thank you for your support.

FAME
I love all of you, lets be lovers, you're one step closer to being famous.
I don't know what it is about this specific chair in this specific lecture hall, but it seems to grant me a great amount of productivity. But I have decided not to look this gift horse in the mouth, if you will.....I've never understood that phrase but whatever.
OMG the prof just said "people consider this a sweet chapter because we talk about sugars" Oh O chem II prof, thank you for keeping things fresh, you go bro, you go.
This week I have once again been working on my photography project that seems never ending, and attempting, and I use that word extremely lightly, to start a youtube channel. The largest problem with my start is, I'm not fucking funny at all. Like really?! As soon as I turn on the camera, I become this loud, crazy person who has absolutely no purpose on the planet, let alone on youtube. Nonetheless, I will continue my endeavors and practicing being on camera for the greater good, and all my fans :)
I had something else to say......I can't remember......
This week in my life, I have been talking to my sister a lot about what it takes to be truly famous; one of my favorite discussions we had, was what it takes to be a famous person in the public eye. We concluded that to go out in public, the general consensus of people with fame is that if they cover their eyes with sunglasses and look down, they must be a famous person hiding, and trying to be normal. But really, aside from that old song, who wears their sunglasses inside? Very few people, you're either hungover, or ridiculously famous. Those are the only possibilities. Really. So. I have decided to run an experiment, when I go to places that are trendy and popular, I will put on my shades and perhaps a hat or sweater and see just what types of attention are granted to me.
Hopefully, this will prove to be an entertaining experiment in which I give out autographs and take pictures with people. I really want to see how far I can take this like, if people come up to me and I ask "whats your favorite song of mine?" I wonder what they would say. Extremely excited to share the results with you my lovers.

Poem for the sake of a poetry
A good friend is hard to find
They're someone who keeps you on their mind
They're always there whenever you ask,
especially when you need a sip of their flask
They're the people you need to keep you check,
the person you go to when you want to get wrecked
You love them with all of your heart,
Even when beside you, they fart (Nina <3)
This poem should not be taken seriously,
In fact it solely exists because I feel Silly :)
<3

Im feeling 22
Hi my lovely love love loves of my life love!
How are we doing on this lovely November? I hope very well.
Well loves, I am now 22 which is pretty super. I just got back from Las Vegas and needless to say, it was pretty unreal, in the best ways possible! There was gambling to do, shows to see, shopping to be done, and I did it all friends, and potentially more because did I mention the hard hours I put in to dancing my ass off at XS and Tryst? Because I did. It was so amazing, and thanks to my father, I was a VIP guest of the hotel and I got to skip around and do what ever I want all of the amazing rolled into two days was almost too much to handle. Ok, all excitement and bragging aside, I'm 22 now, far more mature than 21, and yet, I feel no legitimate change in my personality. (Emo?) Nah, not really. Just that I kind expected to feel a little different, and I don't, but I suppose that even still, someday I will feel that change. Good things come to those who wait, that's what they say right?
Anyway, I hope you all are doing well, my life has been one hot mess after another, I broke my foot in some drunken crazy mess, I chopped off the tip of my thumb cooking for my lovely friends, and last weekend, I fell off of a curb, scraped my knee, and bruised my other foot! :(
Needless to say, hot mess. Another new and exciting venture in my life, is all of the work I have been putting into my photography!
As most of you should know, I am starting a venture, a photo shoot that is my interpretation of Alice in Wonderland, the shoot takes place in February and right now I am working on costumes and concept!
I am very happy to say the entire shoot has already been casted! I will post the cast list in my next post for those who are interested!
I have also been doing informal shoots over the weekends to clear my mind and to keep myself somewhat sane. Sometime this week, I will be posting those to my other website: www.kathrynbphotography.com go ahead and check it out if you have nothing to do! :)
I hope you all are having incredible Novembers and hopefully I will get my act together and start posting on here more frequently!
As always, Have a lovely day! :)
