I am Katie's raging bile duct...
*pukes*
I just got a call from Cosmo...They wanted me to take a survey and were offering a $100 gift certificate to a department store of my choice. So, I took the survey...*cringes* I'm wishing I hadn't. The guy on the line sounded about 40 or 50 and he's asking all these questions about my sex life (for example, whether I'd prefer a man to have a larger or smaller...well you get the idea...) *pukes* He wanted my hair/eye colors, my weight, height, and measurements... *getting uncomfortable* May I please say, that this is why I never read beauty/lifestyle magazines. They quite honestly disgust me. *pukes again* I'm sort of wondering if this $100 was worth all of that.... *shakes head*

alright now, it's time for...
Katie's random question!
^_^ Today's questions have to do with dreams...as in sleeping not goals...
The first question is a little more serious, rhetorical, philosophical...whatever you want to call it...
Do you make your own choices in your dreams?
In other words, do you have free will in your dreams? It's kinda hard to say. I don't think you do. I behave differently in my dreams than I would in my waking life. *shrugs* It's kind of interesting to think about.
My more light-hearted, though over-used question:
Do you dream in color?
I do!! ^_^ I don't care what the experts say. I can vividly remember standing in a gorgeous green field in late afternoon sunlight in one of my dreams. So there! :P ^_^

Well, that's all for today! Works been insane, and it's really stressing me out! *sniff* I'll talk to ya'll later. I only have a week and a half 'til I leave for college and I still have a ton to get done...like...buying a computer... *cringes*

   Thank you!
quick post!
Thank you to everyone praying for my mom (or at least wishing her well.) I told her that people from all over the country (and the world) are praying for her! ^_^ She smiled! ^_^ Thanks guys!
wow...I'm shocked to have gotten so many comments! Thanks! ^_^ I'm up to 800 visits! ^_^ *rejoices* Be happy, Mommy! ^_^
I'm going to have a really busy weekend, so there's a chance that this will be my last post until Monday. ^_^ Have a great weekend, everyone! ^_^

   Mom...
*sighs* If everyone could pray for my mom, I'd really appreciate it. If you didn't already know, my mom has gestational diabetes. She found out yesterday that she's been eating all wrong. If her blood sugar continues to be too high, the baby will get too big. That means either a C-section or inducement. I didn't know until last night, but my mom has never had a C-section. wow...10 live-births! ^_^ The main problem right now isn't the physical one...she's falling into a bit of depression combined from lots of stress from day-to-day life and the diabetes. Last night, the rest of us were eating pancakes. My dad offered her a bit with blueberry syrup. She was at the breaking point. She got up, grabbed her bag of insulin and other equipment and went to the bathroom. I could tell she was about to cry. Dad sort of gave me a look like "What did I do?" I could have slapped him... Mom's going through a lot right now...it's not easy... Usually, he's really understanding and sympathetic. I don't know what's gotten into him. He tried to make small talk with me about work. I could barely eat. I finished quickly (eating less than usual), cleared my spot, and went to the bathroom. I looked at Mom and just gave her a hug. I wanted so badly to just cry for her. I hate seeing her go through all of this. It's so terrible. I just wish I could take on all of her suffering so she'd be okay... I'm really worried that she may get worse after I leave for college. I mean, if Dad isn't being supportive, then no one will... *sighs* Amy, you have to take care of my mom while I'm gone! *cries* You know much more about diabetes than I do. You can help her! Please, do that for me!! *sighs* Combining this with my b**** of a sister, I feel so guilty about leaving for college... I know, I worry too much...
Man...I'm really depressing myself...*sighs* I'm gonna go see everyone's sites now...I'll probably post again later, and hopefully, it'll be happier!

   Got this from Isis
Take the quiz: "What type of attitude problem do you have? (pics)"
Your Mean
You just say whatever you want without thinking about how it will make the other person feel. You've probably said every mean thing possable so how about you try this....

   Odd question...
I'm not really sure why, but I started thinking about this earlier:
Suppose, somehow, you were cloned, and this clone of yours was not only exactly like you physically, but also mentally and spiritually. I'm saying, this person has your exact personality and your soul. Essentially, this person is you. However, you're still you. Alright, now, you meet this clone of you (or...are you their clone?) ^_~ The question is, do you guys get along?
For me, it would depend on the circumstances of how we met. If I did something initially to piss me off, then I probably wouldn't like me very much. (I tend to allow first impressions to last.) However, if we were just to run into each at the mall or something weird like that, first, I'd probably faint (and so would the other me). Once we woke up, we'd probably start laughing and get along pretty well. However, after some time (meaning months or years), I'd probably really get on my nerves. I'm sure we'd agree to go separate ways and be friends from a distance. ^_^
Okay, now how about you guys?
*crickets*

What??

   Lizard Lava...^_^
Today was lookin' pretty dreary when I woke up (...or was woken up by my evil alarm clock. Niko, I'm tempted to follow your example...) But, I stopped at QuikTrip for gas on the way to work and bought me a SOBE! ^_^ My favorite is the Strawberry Daquiri flavored one. *yum* ^_^ It's been keepin' me goin' this morning. (I would have gotten capachino, but it's a little hot for that.)
I guess I should relay the events of last evening... *sniff*
It turns out, DNAngel #3 doesn't come out 'til the 31st! *sniff* That's another 4 weeks!! *whines* oh, well. I went ahead and bought the other two, which makes me happy. ^_^ We also went to Best Buy b/c they were having a 20% off sale on anime ^_^ I almost bought Spirited Away...and then I saw Boondock Saints for half as much...*sighs*

I couldn't help myself...I put down Spirited Away and grabbed Sean Patrick Flannery....*kt the schoolgirl strikes again* man...this is really starting to piss me off...*shakes head*
Oh well...after that, Amy and I went to Krispy Kreme... ^_^ I guess it's my own little tribute to Vash.... *hugs Vash plushie*
I'll post again later, most likely...laa laa laa....*grins* I'm gonna see if I can sneak a nap....I'm dead tired. *yawns*

   Pizza and shopping
Finally!!! I'm off work, and I actually made it to the bank! Whoo hoo!! ^_^
Speaking of which...you know it's kinda crazy how much you can get a guy to smile if you pout a little... ^_^ I ran in there, a little harried and stressed. I pulled my check and wallet out and sighed, "long day." The guy at the counter immediately looks concerned and goes, "Really?" I just kinda smiled and said, "yeah." So, I give him the check and tell him what to do with it. He gives me my money, and tells me to have a good evening. It takes me a bit to put everything back in my wallet and then into my purse, so I tell him 'thank you' and that his smile helps...so, by now he's smiling real big. ^____^ lol It made my whole day so much better. ^_^
Well, I'm off to see Amy so we can buy DNAngel #3!! ^_^ talk to ya'll tomorrow!
(the family gets in tonight...no more silence...) *sniff* ^_^

   I am Katie's overwhelming exhaustion...
Today's post is brought to you by Fatigue (TM). "Fatigue. When you're more than just tired." (c)

^_^ If I wanted to, I could blame a couple of people for that...*cough*recca*cough*nami*cough*...but, it's not like they held a gun to my head and made me stay up...*sighs* Well...life goes on!
This morning I went to Mass (I'm trying to do that every morning I have to be to work at 9. I figure, I may as well get up 1 hour earlier and get a bit of strength for the day!) ^_^ That, and the fact that I love our priest. Sometimes he gives pretty long homilies, but this morning, I don't think it was even a minute long. The Gospel had been the story of Jesus walking on water, so Father's homily was essentially this:
"We're all on the boat looking out to Jesus. One foot is stretched out to the water, and the other is still in the boat. We're looking at Jesus, and He's looking at us. He doesn't say anything, but He's looking at us. We're clinging to the wooden edge still looking at Jesus, with one foot out on the water. But, one's still in the boat."
^_^ I didn't get that quite as he did. It also helps when you have Father Eric saying it. He has a certain way of putting things and a certain tone of voice...It's kinda hard to describe. *shrugs* Here I go rambling again... whatever
laa de laa de laa... wow. I'm really tired. ^_^ ...and hungry...I didn't eat breakfast before coming to work. *sniff* Amy, bring me cookies!! ^_^
meh...I'll probably post again later. *shrugs* Oh yeah, *waves to new friends* Thank you to everyone who's signed my gb! "You like me! You really like me!" *giggles*
wow...someone needs sleep...zzzzzzzz...


EDIT: I just got my first paycheck! ^_^ (finally...) I'm getting paid $6.50/hr. I should have made $435.50, but w/ social security and all that crap I made $372.57! ^_^ Amy...Let's go shopping!
EDIT AGAIN: We've hit 40,000 members!! yay MyO! ^_^
