College. Is a strange place.

Hello not sure if anyone actually reads this anymore, but if you do, I love you!!

So today has been a day of strange happenings in my surroundings, and really its just two things but due to the time concentration of the two events, it hit me with a higher magnitude than it normally would have.  So here I am in my awkward hour between classes and I felt it necessary to reflect on my morning.
My first class this morning is a pretty big lecture class on Archaeology, a word I am getting very tired of writing in my notebook, fun abbreviations, even if they aren't relevant would be appreciated in comment form!  Anyway, I always get to class thirty minutes early in order to get a spot on the front row.  And for the last three classes, I have sat next to the same guys.  Today however when I walked in, I could tell they were judging my messy hair and my thunder shirt, nike shorts combo.  By the way, let the record show that I actually come straight from the gym to this class so yes, one of few who rocks "norts" out of necessity.  But nonetheless, they were judging me.  Me.  Big senior on campus was being judged by, I could only assume, to lonely and weird freshmen boys.  So as I went to my seat, I felt kinda sad that they didn't think I was cool enough to sit next to them, but I pulled out my notebook to get ready anyway.  Not two seconds later did the one further from me whip out his iPhone and start up an app.  Then I hear this "dude use snorlax, USE SNORLAX!"  now, correct me if I'm wrong but Snorlax, is the name of a pokemon (I know I'm not wrong, pokemon for life) and again correct me if I'm wrong, but is that not a game for preteens from the 90's?  It is.  And I'm all for reliving childhood memories but for a guilty pleasure like pokemon? You pick front row of a very quiet lecture hall to yell out pokemon names and moves?  Bold.  Bold.  Anyway the point is I felt awesome and cool (even in my disarray) because at least I wasn't playing pokemon OUT LOUD in a two hundred person lecture hall, getting judged by everyone.
After my first class I have this lovely hour wait before the commencing of my following class so I pack a lunch, head over to my next building, climb to the second floor and sit in a comfy chair in the corner that has a slight view of the lobby below.  I like it here (here right now!!) because no one bothers me and no one else wants to sit up here.  But today, this day, while i was eating my container of peaches, some crazy art chick came bounding up the stairs and yells FREE BAGELS!!!!!  I look up from my diligent pinteresting to see a girl with a trash bag full of bagels!  Several people from down below begin to cheer as she is literally just chucking bagels from the balcony, there has never been a moment where I've wished to have my camera out more than I did twenty minutes ago.  People were catching them with their teeth, standing on chairs, and one poor girl with head phones even got hit in the head with one.  It was very enjoyable to be an onlooker in such a strange society of art students.
These two happenings of the day make me very happy that I chose to go to this university, as corny as the union makes it sound, there is always something to do on this campus.  I would like to thank all of the strangely awesome people I ran into today that absolutely made this the single funniest day ever, it was pretty awesome, and I can't wait to be around for more of it!

If you are in school, welcome  or welcome back, if you have a job, sorry boutcha
and as aways have a wonderful day and keep your eyes out for weird, awesome people!

VIDCON 2012

6/28/12                                      (written somewhere in the sky between Dallas and Los Angeles)


I would consider myself to be a pretty well traveled person for being only 21.  But today I'm going to mention a few important observances thus far from my trip!
1. My hair will NEVER  look good after a flight of any length so I will never look ok on a flight.  (probably not on my way to being a member of the mile high club, damn you hair)
2. I am never seated next to a hot 20 something or NBA player :( which I guess makes #1 kind of okay, except of course when you run into someone that you know in a DFW terminal, AWK.
3. No matter how hard you try, your personal space will be invaded in everyday possible. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

• seated next to a fatty who slides SLIDES into your area
• the sweet, slightly creepy old man who watches Pride and Prejudice over your shoulder with you
• That awkward moment where the arm rest will never be big enough for two people to put their arm on and I don't want to be the rude person that takes it. 
• Full body scans 
• And my personal favorite when you sit next to a sweet old lady and either tell her your whole life story, or you make up a life story and tell it to her.

Ok, so those aren't just terrible, I think when I wrote this I was a grumpy pants because I wasn't drinking which, as we all know, is very important when you are flying all day.  

Tomorrow is my first day of Vidcon 2012! 

I have NOW in the time span of my flight received my alcohol beverage of choice, so life just got a lot happier.  Hooray for the planes credit card machine being broken!  Two free drinks :)  Also, if you didn't know, I have hand written every blog entry of my latest adventures and it is quite fulfilling!

This is the part of the blog where I show you what happened on my trip!

I met Hannah Hart 

www.youtube.com/myharto

She was literally the sweetest and funniest person I have ever met, one thing that I find interesting about meeting people who are "YouTube Famous" is that they are totally normal because in their eyes, they're normal people I hope that stream of conciousness made sense.  Anyway, I had a really fun time in her workshop on collaborations.

Then my hair had an awkward moment when I met Benny from 

www.youtube.com.finebros

He was a lot quieter than I imagined, but then again, I guess most video bloggers are pretty introverted. 

Next up was meeting Rafi Fine from the same channel as his brother above, probably the nicest guy, he had a line of people that wanted to talk to him and he gave each person like five minutes and really listened and gave advice and was just super sweet!

We waited in about an hour long line (which actually wasn't that long considering the day before there was a four hour wait, I don't know who was that stupid, crazy but damn yo.)

Just so we could get our picture with a Real Life Charlie (left)

and his sidekick, Michael Aranda

Right after this picture was taken, we got yelled at because there's a sign that says no photos, sorry I'm not sorry yo. 

Holy shit I met the MEEBLES! Some of you may know her as the artist of "Bounce that Dick" or from me forcing you to watch her videos about dogs and various other weird things.

I luckily got to meet the members of SMOSH three minutes after their signing time ended, those gems stayed ten extra minutes so everyone could meet them (from the right Ian Hecox, Anthony Padilla, and Mari whose last name I do not know) 

You may know them from me forcing you to listen to the legends of Zelda rap.

Next I met Shanna Malcolm from Shane Dawson's channel but she will very soon have her own channel which makes me very happy face happy head anyway, I love her and this was an amazing moment!

This my friends is Shane Dawson's girlfriend, Lisa Schwartz from

www.youtube.com/lisabug

I love her!  She introduced me to LUSH!

It Steve Greene Comedy!  He hugged me :) He was very nice, he was also the first person I met! So yay!

The last person I met was Shane Dawson, quite possibly the one person I wanted to meet the most, I have been watching youtube videos for quite some time and Shane was the first one I watched!  Also the striped shirt in my hand, I won it in a raffle, its his shirt and its autographed. It was a really cool experience!

I had an amazing time, met so many awesome people, needless to say, I will be coming back next year!   

The only sad/regret from the trip is that I didn't get to meet Bree Essrig or Totally Sketch but none the less, it was fun!!! :)

I hope this post finds you happy and well! 

Have a wonderful day!

I've Been Keeping Things From You

Hello all, I must apologize for my hesitancy to post my creative writing works.  I still don't like any of them and ironically, the first I've chosen to share is the most un poetic poem thing in the world.  The premise of the assignment was simply to write a poem the described a work of art.  Well I'm not very great at following rules so I changed it a little to suit my own fancy, I chose a work of art, that might be cliche, and decided to look not only at the art, but also the artist, in this case, Vincent Van Gogh, and the piece, A Starry Night.  This was not my first choice, my first choice was one of his self portraits, but I thought that too obvious, I preferred a larger jump hence, my decision.  And here is the "poem", I hope it finds you well and that you enjoy  it!

The Starry Night

Artist: Vincent Van Gogh

It is night 

the stars are out, 

covering the heavens 

with an etherial glow

The town below sits motionless in a valley

it is a quiet town, there is peace

and where there is peace, there is also beauty

Bad things tend toward other destinations, 

not here though, this town was peaceful,

This town was a dream

It would be hard to be so advanced,

ahead of your time,

You would stand out,

people would stay away

You were crazy, not brilliant

its enough to drive a person mad

its enough to drive a person to death 

The painting exposes the sorrow 

at the hand of the creator

The night sky simple, yet unique, 

a mirror of how he feels in his own world

lost because he is different

Artists feel everything, stroke by stroke

he wanted to fit in 

but alas his talent was born to stand out

A lot can be said for a Starry Night Sky,

A lot.

Creative WRITE.

So I haven't actually finished, or turned anything in for my creative writing class but, I have been working really hard on some poems (BLEH) and hopefully, I will soon finish them and gain the confidence needed to post them.
As already stated, I love my teacher, I think she is fantastic.
The other day she had us do a free write because we are all "crazy english majors with a sick addiction to structure"
The idea was that she would say a word, and then we would immediately have to start writing whatever that word made us think of for three minutes, no premeditation, no thinking, just whatever was on our minds, it was honest.  I loved this because not only was I able to vent but I also found out about a lot of things that I've been kind of suppressing, or avoiding, it was really cool and I think I'll start doing them more often.
The words were:

ANGER

RED

and

PEACE

With the first two words I was shocked with just how angry I was, it was something that I think normally I would have ignored but as soon as I saw it on the paper, I felt relief.  It was nice to see my "wild side" if you will, I wasn't polishing myself for a teacher or a blog site, I was writing it for myself, it was incredible.
Though the first two words put me on edge, made me pretty upset, the third word was like a strong muscle relaxant.  It made me think of things  and people I love what I love and what I desire, it was pretty awesome.  Basically what the whole experience reminded me of (and this will be lost on everyone except Nina) was when Addison Montgomery was laying on Pete's table with needles all over her and she felt a rush of emotion.  Its cleansing, healing, but without needles in your face!

Try the exercise! It is awesome!

I hope you are all very well! :)

7 days to VIDCON!!!!!!

A week of firsts

Hi internet peoples!
This week has been crazy in more ways than one, lets just say, its been a week of firsts.
The worst being, Oh hey, my first sinus infection....super duper fun times, trust me.
On the bright side, this was also my first week of my creative writing class!  Which is super awesome!  My teacher is the sweetest person I've ever met, she is so unique and hilarious and awesome and I love, love being in this class, I might even take another one!
As I turn in assignments, I will post them on here so that you all can enjoy them!
For now however, I'm doomed to lay in bed taking nasty medication and watch reruns of HIMYM and Bones, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.
Anyway, this is where I leave you today dear bloggers,
and I leave you with this picture of a dancing cat

I hope this post finds you well, wherever you are, 

have a wonderful day! :)

Molding the minds of our generation

I have decided that my new blog theme will be molding the minds of our generation.  
Very bold, I know. 
But I think I can be your one source for knowledge, a mecca of insight if you will. 
Today we are going to talk about something that I questioned just this very day and  that is how is it that those annoying blinking signs on the side of the road that tell me Im going "too fast" and "over the speed limit"and what business is it of theirs to tell us what to.  
Today my friend you are going to take a trip to education station and learn all about the wonders of these electronic monsters that rule the roads.
To start us off, this is exactly what I am talking about:

And this is how I feel about them:

So what are these evil little devices that cause us all so much pain?  Well they are called speed cameras, quite appropriately as they clock your speed when you approach them in a vehicle.  

How do they work?

Its elementary my dear pupil, you see, the vehicle is speeding in my supposed scenario, as it passes by, an automatic radar, shoots at the center of the vehicle and calculates the speed the object is going by using a simple distance x time equation to discover the rate of the approaching vehicle.  If the car is in fact speeding, the light flashes and you are given a chance to correct your error, if you do not, a camera takes a picture of your license plate.  A background check is then done on your vehicle such as, a check through the database of stolen and rented cars, supervised by police.  The fine is then mailed to the owner go the car.  A contestation is possible if the owner was not the driver.

Back to the radar, in some cases, it uses electromagnetic waves to detect objects and determine their speed and distance.

Andddddd thats all you really need to know, if you have any questions or suggestions about what we should cover next please leave it in the comments, we will reconvene in this forum whenever the fuck I write again. 

Remember, keep questioning everything. 

well.....yea....

Hey bloghood,
Im currently attempting to channel my inner rapper, and to give "her" a name, I went to a very unreliable, yet amusing source:http://www.myrapname.com/

So my inner rapper is either:
Crazy Kate
Kathryn K Goddess? wahhh?
Kate Sauce
Sling K?
Kate Trixx
Lil Kate B
Phat Kate Blunt (second fav)
or my personal favorite
Delicious Angel Kate B


Now for giggles, I'll take some of my friends names and put them in and then post their first name:
Nina B - Missy NB Nugget a.k.a. XL Trixx - I wish I had made this up
Kyle B - Jaz Hazy KB
Kevin B - Kevy B Blood - this is just too good
Brandon H - Styling Branny H Flavor Love a.k.a Jiggy Cube - ? You lost me on this one
And now just for fun, my parents,
Mother - Terri T Dirty Face......please no one tell my mom about this hahaha
Father - T Baby or T Troy Dilly Bash a.k.a Slick Assassin - you be the judge, I couldn't decide.

Okay, while that was fun and highly amusing, I did have a point, for my final, I must compose a 90 second rap about myself, perform a rap that already exists, and have a rap battle, all in front of my class, and well, Im still writing my rap.
While talking about bitches and hoes probably has a minimum difficulty level, I do commend rap artists, its pretty hard to get good lyrics and a good beat and all that jazz down quickly and its proving to be quite difficult, I just hope my photographic memory doesn't let me down!
Hope your summer's are all going well!
Stay Fresh or whatever the rappers are saying these days!!
