Today should be remembered. Not as a sad day, but as a day where tuna fish meals become a reality and she can chase the fall leaves in little Kitty heaven.
Tuba Trousers was a good cat. At times a little dumb but constantly compassionate and entertaining.

I talked to my mom on the phone about it this morning. She reminded me of what a good life we gave her. We got her from a shelter and had traded her for a deaf white kitten that I didn't like because it wasn't playful enough. Katie had fleas and worms and was the ugliest cat at the shelter. We had already had Tootles for a little while so she wasn't too happy with the addition of another cat, especially one that was as gamey as Tuba. My mom thinks that she was abused as a kitten because she was fearful of people at first and hated being held. That's just a theory though, and she never really LIKED being held, especially in her old age.
Either way. She was a very happy cat. She joined everyone in the laughs and good times- she would play fetch, run around from the kitchen to the laundry room, killed a bunny because she sneaked outside once, or how she would follow me around and jump up on my lap and flex her paws on my knees when I was standing by her.

There are many more great memories about Tuba Trousers. I wish she could have held on to her new name a little longer, but 'c'est la vie.'

Katie, Caboose, Tuba Trousers. 1991- 02 November, 2009
You will be sorely missed.


Katie 30 October, 2009


Alla Prima painting I did of her last week. It's not quite done, I need to add green to the background and some other things. I'm glad I chose her as subject matter.




p.s. For any of you in the area (Briana? lol) I think that I will be holding a get together for Tuba Trousers this saturday at my house. Ryan had the idea of making a photo-print cake of either a tuba or that picture on Facebook of him sitting on her, because it's my favorite. We would eat cake and be merry, then go back downtown before I go see Mt Eerie at High Noon Saloon. Anyone interested?

As of 11/7... here are the demographics

Very first dread: 13"
Top front left dread (with whispy tail): 8"
Left ear: 7.5"
Right ear: 7" w/o tail 8" with

Average length in back: 11" - 12.5"
Shorter dreads on top and bottom front: 8" - 10"


So I was sitting here and thinking about how much longer my hair might have gotten, and remembered that post on 11/7. I measured the stuff out again...

Very first dread: 14"+
Top front left dread: 9"
Left Ear: 8.5"
Right ear: almost 9" and the tail is gone

Average lengths increased by about 1 to 1.5 inches. :D

Also, I decided that I'm going to pull up all my ends and round'em off. I did a couple already, but it's going to take a while. I'll start working on it soon, now that school is almost done!







Also, Libby is HAWT. And I'm done with school in like 2.5 hours. Hollah! Forestry exam... not prepared. Haha.

p.s. I got my job back at Copps! I get to work with Litscher... haha.

The best part of my night was when I was walking back from Liz Waters by myself and hearing the drunks singing along to 'Build Me Up Buttercup' in Hawks, and arm-in-arm yelling 'Hey Hey HEY!'
It was kinda cute. Made me smile. :)

Jake Herrick is starting to get annoying. I wish he'd stop calling me. He did for a little while when I didn't answer his phone calls for 2 days...
Hm.

Anyways, just chilling at the hizouse with karl and zack and tryign to get some reading done because I am a little behind right now.
But it's so hard to catch up when there's only like 2.5 weeks left for me!!! AH!

Oh and p.s. I could graduate in just another 3 semesters if I wanted to. Baller. :D

So last night was pretty fun. Libby and Zack went on their date and so I was prepared to be bored. Alas! While I was at East frisbee practice, Jacob texted me and invited me to smoke some hookah. So naturally, we did. I went over there at about 6 and hung out with him and his awesome roommate, Andrew. Eventually the hookah was done, and Jacob didn't have any beer so we walked down and I showed him my apartment and then he went to go get a 30 pack at Rileys. Walked back to his apt and got ahold of Nick Yahnke! Yeeessss! We tricked him into doing a disc, having made it look like we just finished one ourselves. It was hilarious. He was very reluctant.
Basically, Nick is pretty freaking sweet. He kept telling me how much he liked my pants. I was wearing my red-orange awesome flow-y hippie pants. Also, he's so awkward and entertaining. Loves!
He told me that his roommate Mike Cella thought Libby was cute when he saw her. And he has a gf. And Jacob accidentally walked into their room last night while we were at Nick's house. Haha. Naked people. That was very funny.



-edit-

So in lieu of last nights events, I must post!
I went to my house VERY briefly to pick up my laundry from like 7-7:30 and to Jo-Anns to get needles 'for a project.' Came back and told Zack to come over (Libby requested his presence) and she stopped by when she was done with her study session. I told them I was going to pierce my septum. And while I was unable to actually put the needle through myself, I got Libby to do it!
Basically, I guess I can't inflict pain on myself. I tried like 3 times but whatever. I placed the needle and was like, JUST SHOVE IT THROUGH. She did! It was probably the most overrated experience ever, pain-wise. Which is a good thing because IT DID NOT HURT. It was sweet. I'm sooo excited about it. Idk why I suddenly became so entertained by the idea of a septum piercing but I just had to have it, and it seemed easy enough to do by ones self, and it certainly was. SO happy I didn't spend $55 at Blue Lotus. I would have felt cheated.
I do have to get better jewelry for it, but the little ring I have now is fine because I can slip it right back up in my nose super easy. It's a little itchy, actually... haha.


Fat ass needle. I think Ben got a pic on his phone when I had that through my nose.


Once again, the ring is really small. When it heals I'll get another?


So easy to hide!

Anyways, I'm in Drawing right now doing research for our final project. I'm either going to do Marine Diatoms 'cuz they look SWEET or the development of a chicken. It has to be a series of three images at least 18x24. The chickens are kinda scary now that I'm like really looking at pictures. So idk if I can do that. We'll see.

I don't know what to do about it.
Judgement!

There's some gross stuff just for shits and giggles! Bahaha. I looked up 'cholo' on the google webz internet and that's what I found. HAHA!

Jake Herrick called me up today and then sent me this pretty picture of the sunset the other night in Texas.
He's a really nice guy. I didn't expect him to call me while he was on vacation. :P

Sleepovers and staying up until 4am is fun! For realsies!

But do you know what is FUNNER?!
Getting an e-mail that says there's NO 3.D DESIGN TODAY! Hollah!

It's like Christmas. :P
Today is STUDY MY BUTT OFF Day. Today I have:
No friends,
No soul,
No happiness,
No personality,
No DISTRACTIONS.

That's all a lie, but that's what I'm aiming for.

Also, recent news: I stayed up until 4:30am the night before last and convinced Alex Zielske to shave off his horrible fuzzy beardness and sideburns. They were just getting progressively worse... but now he looks ADORABLE AGAIN!
I did my good deed this week. :)



That's a picture of Zack sleeping. Heehee.

I should have slept more last night. But I guess it might be worth it because I convinced Zielske to shave. I bet his face looks beautiful, now. :D

Also, a little tidbit of our convo at the library:

Zack: ... pre-cum has sperm in it!
All: HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
Libby: It took you that much to spit it out!
Me: That’s what he said!

Good times!

I partied really hard the last two nights at eric and kyle's house. Tyson was there both nights. Fabulous. He said he owes me and that I should tell him who my enemies are so he can fuck with them. Hahah. I guess that's cute...?

Also, I got 3.5 hrs of sleep yesterday and didn't take a nap and I went to bed last night at 5am and I had to work at 8am and I was at my house so I was supposed to wake up at 6:30am and get on a  bus at 7:00am and then go to work but I guess I like slept walked around my room when my parents and karl tried waking me up and that's fucked up. I went back to bed and then jolted myself awake at like 11:00. Half hour before my shift would have been over. That's so stupid! And my phone died. Damn.

I don't know how to feel about this. I guess I'm pretty fucking stupid.
Also, Tommy was texting me last night and he's in the navy or something and he asked me if I would have sex with him. Bahaha. Libby would kill me.

Oh, also. I gave permission for Libby to hit on Zack and make out with him if it came to that.
They made out a lot. I walked in on them and was scarred for life. Swear to god I couldn't get calm again lol. But I came to terms with it. Libby was like 'Kristen tell me if it makes you uncomfortable and I will stop! Do you like him?! I swear if you do I'll stop?!' She was very concerned because I was so jolted. Haha. 

Uhhh....My life.  

So. I basically had a 2 week long spring break. I didn't really do the whole school thing last week. Jonah was here and it was my birthday and et cetera. Basically I had a great spring break, and a great time last week, and then this weekend was also pretty freaking cool.

I had a blast with Zack this weekend. He stayed at my house on thursday night so we could leave early for Granite Peak early friday morning. We talked to Caitlin that night and had fun texting her inappropriate things... it was awesome. And besides my unfortunate fall I rode well and enjoyed being on the big mountain and having two parks to ride. Oh, btw, when you open a brand new jar of Con Queso, it looks super gross and is all bubbly and filmy. It'll tweak you out, guaranteed!

Then I stayed at Zack's house on friday night. His mom was there and so was Lisa, Maddie's mom. She made really freaking good white chocolate macadamia cookies. I was like YUMMMM. But then his mom freaked out because the car had a bunch of food in the trunk and idk some other crap so Zack had to talk to her and I was bored sitting up in his room. But it was all good. Got some sleep and went to Tyrol in the morning. It was kinda cold, unfortunately.
Saturday I killed my leg on the c-box. Baller. It's better now, tho. I can bend my knee and the swelling is mostly gone. Yay! It's still difficult to get up into my bunk bed, tho. I have to like catapult myself up and avoid the fan... always a fun task.



So tonight I hung out with Jake Herrick and Zack. Jake is a senior in high school at Sun Prairie and is a pretty baller snowboarder that I rode with a lot this winter. He worked at Cascade in food service. He's pretty cool. Called me up today and said he was bored and hungry and was going downtown so we should hang out and find Zack. We ate at Charley's. It was pretty good. I wasn't very hungry but I ordered food anyways. Then they got Coldstone and we watched State of Mind and That.
A completely unproductive last 2 weeks, and today I did NOTHING. Doodled during 3.D. It's posted on Facebook because I drew a sith lord and it's awesome. Haha.

Lots of stuff to do next week. And hanging out with Pat because he'll be on break. I think I gave up on him, but we'll see how things go! :D

mah leg is swolled like a cantaloupe!

I just realized that the guy from My Big Fat Greek Wedding is Aiden from Sex and the City.

I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HIM SOMEHOW!
Also, epic weekend so far. I will never finish all my hmwk. I am doomed.

So. This is a quick update. I'm at Zack's house (staying over) so that we can leave bright and early to go to Tyrol both Saturday and Sunday. Friday we went to Granite Peak and that was verging on epic (but not nearly as cool as the last time we were there). Unfortunately, two of the parks out of 4 were down and out so we got stuck with the rail yard and 'beginner park.' The beginner park isn't really a beginner park, though. Their stuff is just as big as the regular stuff at Cascade plus a nice 20 footer. It was sick.

Well, anyways. Zack stayed over at my place last night so we could wake up at 6:30 and get out of there for the 2 hours drive to Granite Peak (north to Wausau on 51). That night we hung out and got chopped and had an epic time. I felt like I was back in high school! Haha. We watched videos and attempted to eat Con Queso, but it looks SO GROSS! Zack dipped a carrot in it and ate it. I've got pictures to follow up, no worries (they wont' make facebook, either). Consider yourself lucky. Altho you, whoever you are, probably doesn't really care much about a carrot being dipped in con queso. You might, but I doubt it.
Anyways, so epic time that night. Didn't get much sleep though.

Also, fell pretty bad at granny peak. Idk what happened, really. I just kinda, ollied wrong and caught the bottom of my board on the box rail and bailed very strangely. I fell about 5 feet and landed on my chest and slid a good 5-8 feet. I managed to avoid face-scrapage and any other injuries aside from my body being ROCKED. I also got the wind knocked out of me SO HARD. I thought I punctured a lung or something. i was literlaly panting and not getting any air and I didn't even open my eyes for like a minute. Just lost track of everything. It was fucking scary. Zack was just a bit up the hill asking me if my collarbone was okay and all I could manage to do was wave at him because I couldn't talk for like 30 seconds. Epically awful.
Anyways, my back muscles are sore as hell, and I'm wonderign how riding the rest of this weekend will be... if we go.

Zack is downstairs arguign with his mom about the car. Karl actually drove somewhere for once in his life and dropped me and Zack off at his house and he made it back home alive. He was so proud of himmself. Haha. But yeah, we get here and Zack's mom is here with Lisa, some bitch, according to Zack. Oh yeah that's Maddie's mom. Anyawys, idk the story, really.
But yeah, so goign to bed now. Hopefully good news?
Pretty good weekend, tho.
Gotta finish my alter-ego project!!!

Spring break is such a tease!


I'm going to miss everyone like whoa. :'(
Favorite moment:



It has everything! Caitlin, Toby, Mia (pointing the camera, unfortunately, but she really wanted that back massage!)... we were drunk at Erics... all together and happy.

Last night was totally baller! I wish I had all the pictures from Toby's camera so that I could post them.

So yesterday:
Picked up Toby and went to see Watchmen. It was pretty sweet. Big glowing blue flaccid penis... 10 ft tall!
The movie last 2.5 hrs. Very long, but epic. We went back to my house to get my car instead of my dad's... (my 'moms' car...) and then drove back to Toby's and picked up brat patties at Pierce's on the way and made dinner and ate with his fam. It was delicious. Then we watched 2 episodes of Friends in an attempt to digest all the food, and then headed over to Eric's. Litscher was there, and Erick ended up over there for a while. Also go to see Wepo and Seppa and Stevie, and that was pretty cool. Bring me back like, 2 years, haha.
Anyways, Toby was really effing drunk. And I drove him and Dylan and Mia and Litscher home. Toby almost wrecked my car by putting it in reverse multiple times while I was driving... not cool!

But yeah, that's that. We got some epic pictures from the party, and I had a really great time. Besides my sweatshirt smelling like bad cigars and beer, I highly approved!

Now, to the Dells!

Well. I really was just, really tired. I don't know why. I've never taken a nap like that, guys. You know that, right? I don't just, take naps at 1:30am. I mean, I did...
I woke up at 2:30am. A little disoriented. Of course, it's such an odd time to nap. I just absolutely was exhausted and couldn't stand the thought of the hookah. I think I put it all away correctly.

Did everyone get home alright? I drove back and got home safely at 3am. I really was fine. Hm.
Did anyone try waking me up? Haha. I don't remember anyone trying.

WATCHMEN TODAY!
Then... THE BEACH!

I have no fucking clue why I'm awake right now. I'm drinking orange juice and my mom and karl still haven't left to go to the barn and school, respectively. Hm.

I wanna run today, but I think I'll put it off till tomorrow morning so that I can be properly hydrated. I'll just take a nice long shower instead!
So excited for my new shampoo. I think it'll be great.



Iiiii like it!
