sometimes i wish i was a bong hit, so you would let me in and love every minute

Well, things are good. I went to River Falls to visit my friend Tina and I had a ton of fun!!! I'm really glad we got to do it! BF is good, he's over two months sober which is awesome. When I was in river falls I got a random phone call from none other than JOHN who I haven't heard from since June 20th, 2005... my 22nd bday. One of my best friends who just kicked me to the curb. RANDOM! I guess it was nice hearing from him but I really don't know what to think. I guess it was nice to see he had the balls to call me OH WAIT... PAT was the one who called. GRRR I hate that mother fucker. Well only time will tell what happens with john. I don't care anymore in all honesty. As much as I did care, I don't anymore. It's been so long... I've been with matt almost the whole time I've been out of John's life. I have a new guy in my life... one who isn't gay. And John doesn't even KNOW him..... if I had gone back 5-7-8-9 years ago I'd never guess that would be. John not be in my life? Well now... I'd love to hang out but I don't NEED him the way I did before. We will see. We will see.

Not the best pictures but the show was a BLAST!!!! Hope to see No Doubt that close again!

I'm moving in with BF in a week!!!!!! Holy shit! The girl that thought she'd be alone forever. Shit! This is what I'm doing, and I can't be more excited. I'm gonna miss my roommate.... but it's time. It's time to move on. His BF moved in with us for a while and obviously that wasn't the best thing... but it's just going to be me and Ox. That's it, just us. It's not gonna be easy at first but I really thing it's gonna WORK and I see us married in the next few year and starting our family. I never thought this would happen to me!!!!! I'm SO excited to finally be with the person I'm mean to do this with and GOD I hope I'm not wrong!!!!!! A lot of my friends dont see him the way I do.... and that's fine. I have one or two (TOPS) friends who are happy for me and you know what......... I don't care........ I just think NO ONE (including me) thought this would happen. And it just makes me feel GREAT. I'm sorry if I'm gloating.

Halloween is almost here. I decided to go as Lindsay Lohan. I got a wig, black leggings, and wrist bandage, some black gloves to cut the fingers off, and an annoyingly long necklace to wear with this cute lingere dress thing I already had and my awesome Steve Madden shoes that look expensive (actually they were... they were like 125). But of course my fucking boyfriend is going as a baseball player. GAY! Whatever, I won't be in any pictures with him.

My roommate still sucks for the most part but at least we're getting along. He still hasn't apologized for the things he said and that was like a month ago. Lame. Well, since he hasn't apologized I have to assume that's the way he really feels. And with that in mind, I don't have to feel bad when I tell him that Ox and I are going to get our own place when our lease is up here. See ya.

Dude, my roommate is making me mad over a hypothetical situation. Boo.

Tuesday really was the best day. Awesome Twins seats and we came from behind to win. Plus, work got inspected and I wasn't there! Holla!

Ellen's having her baby pretty soon, I'm so excited for her. She's handled herself so well with her pregnancy. Doesn't whine or ask for special exceptions just because she is pregnant. I think she's going to be a great mom.

Went to Twins games Saturday (JEN and I RULE!), Sunday, and Tuesday. Won all three games! God I hope we win the division or at least make the playoffs!!

I'm downloading the new iTunes... My iPod better fucking work when I hook it up............

I'm thinking it's going to be the best day ever. New music from Barenaked Ladies, John Mayer AND Justin Timberlake. The Twins game. The Vikings won last night and it's pretty much going to be a great day. Love it!

Wow even more people are saying they heard we were getting married. Then Ox added fuel to that fire with some of the customers so I'm never going to hear the end of it from them now. Fantastic. I love the boy but I'm not getting married!!! Not anytime soon anyway. Back to laundry and cleaning. Woohoo.

It's kinda freaking me out that everyone's always like "When are you two getting married??" They're probably just joking but I hear it a lot. Isn't that kind of a sensitive subject? I wouldn't bring that up to one of my friends in a relationship. I mean, sure, the way I feel right now, I'd love to marry the guy. But there are a lot of kinks we need to work out and see if this is really going to work. He treats me so wonderfully, like I never thought I'd be treated. Who wouldn't want that? I've been able to handle and tolerate him this long, and I've gotta say I'm pretty impressed with myself. But sometimes he just gets on my nerves too. He doesn't try to. My problem is that I don't say anything until it's been bothering me a while and then I kind of blow up. I'm trying really hard to work on that but it's hard to change the way you've kind of always been. It's like I always say... he's way nicer than me. But I think we both see something in each other that we've never seen in anyone else. I always say... the kid totally loves me... totally adores me. But the part I don't say enough is that I feel the same way. I mean I say it to him and I know it's true. But I don't want to be the sappy girl who fell in love and is now all happy just because of that. But that is a lot. When you've been crying and hoping to meet someone wonderful and then you finally do... WOW! But the reality of it is that he's a real person and no matter how wonderful he is (or I am) he's still not perfect, even if I kind of see him that way in my mind. If he and I can help each other through the times of insecurites about personal imperfections, I think we'll be a wonderful lifelong match. Just gotta give it time. But shit to I love this boy!

What a wonderful week. Saturday I worked, then went to the beach and had chipotle with Oxley. Then I went to Basilica Block Party with Jen and her friend Karissa and had a great time. Really good music. Train was the headliner for Saturday and I really liked them. I don't think I've ever seen them live (can't even remember so I guess not).

Monday night after his softball games, we headed up to his family's new trailer house up at Lake Osakis (just over two hours west on 94). It was so nice to just be away and not think about work or anything else (we didn't). Yesterday we swam, tried to fish, played catch, yahtzee, checkers, walked 4 miles, watched movies, and drank beer while playing yahtzee. Well, we did other stuff too!! :) I want him to bring his up north bed home and have it as his regular bed. ;) Anyway I had a great time over the short time we were there and I can't wait to go back when they have a boat up there. I'm a little sunburned but spent a lot of time outside so that's expected. I absolutely love this boy. He's wonderful and very sweet.

Now we're going to go to a movie and then play softball and hopefully not bomb too bad. (we probably will)

I love getting home and turning on the TV and seeing all the news channels talking about how my portfolio has lost 7.3% of its total value... not just in one day but BEFORE NOON!

Thanks, 3M, you blow.

That boy Ox is so in love with me. Last night I was all loopy and he said he wanted to set aside some time to talk. So this morning I asked what it was and it was pretty much what I'd been planning in my head. I'm gonna ride out this lease till May with Tony and then if everything seems right, Ox and me will move in together. He's gonna stay at home with his parents until then. That's fine with me, that's what I wanted anyway because who knows when a his lease would be up if he moved out anytime soon. I'm so excited about how mature he can be when he wants to. Actually he is most of the time.

Oh and of course he's going out with Crystal tonight but I just don't mind too much at all. She's seeing some guy who Ox had tried to get her to go out with a while ago. That's cool.

The fece feels good. I'm taking a mini-vacay anyway. I'm not playing ball tonight because of my face but I'll be there to cheer them on!

I'm happy. My face doesn't hurt yet. I was a bit freaked out about my wisdom tooth removal today but so far everything's good. In fact, I took a codiene earlier but just because I was bored. Just made me a little loopy but oh well. Funny! When we got to the place, there was my friend Tina. Weird seeing her right then!

The Twins game last night was awesome. We had great seats in the 9th row on the third base line. We kicked ass and Joe Mauer and I fell in love while he was at third base all night. Yaay.

My birthday was really fun. Just went out and drank and had a good time with friends. I'm really glad I got to see those people and celebrate. I was really drunk by the end of the night but it's okay, I had a ride.

My lovely boyfriend gave me a gorgeous ring on June 13 which was our 6 months (ew, i know). I love it. I'm still getting used to wearing a ring but it's going pretty well. It's a white gold ring with a topaz in the middle and five little diamonds on each side. He was so worried he couldn't pick something out for me because I'm too picky. But I show him things I like and he picks this out himself and I love it! Boys are silly. He gave me a Mauer jersey for my b-day too.

Almost happy b-day to me!
Went to Chuck E Cheese's for the first time ever today. It was so fun. I got a whoopee cushion, a slinky and some beads with my tickets. Just need the jumpy thing and my virginity and I'll have my childhood back. Can anyone help?

Somehow I've become a Myspace whore so you're more likely to find me there right now till the buzz wears off.

Note to identity theives: GET A JOB, ASSHOLES!
Actually that note was to all theives. But I bet it takes shorter to fill out a job application than it takes to learn how to steal people's identities and if you get a job, you can buy your own shit from wal-mart instead of using someone else's non-existent money and possibly going to jail.

Anyway, what's new? Well, I haven't bought any LAMB from this season yet, even though some of it's cute. The prices are outrageous and ever since I got my white gothic hoodie for way cheap, I think I'd at least rather wait till it goes on sale. I know Gwen needs my money because she's on pregnancy leave from rocking the world, but that's just a price she's going to have to pay for a few more months.

I went over to Matt's last night. He always tells me to let myself in but I just feel weird doing that. Well, anyway, I did last night and before even seeing him his mom says "our Katie's here! Katie, would you go get me some Coke?" hahaha she's too cute! She's also asked me to get cat food before but I made Matt go with me because I don't know shit about cats. Anyway, I go out to my car and start it and she runs out and asks for ice as well. I am SO getting points with the mom! Go me! I'm really stoked about the way things are going with us (me and Matt, that is). Except for the bullshit ex stuff, everything's really really good. He loves me, and tells me so all the time. He listens to me when I have something to say. He respects our differences in musical taste (he loves R&B and while I don't mind it, I'm a Cities 97/Drive 105 kind of girl). He cheers me on when I beat him at bowling or pool instead of getting defensive like he does if someone else beats him. I don't like him hanging out with his ex, but I trust him when he says they're just friends and they broke up mutually and stayed friends. He's got the few pictures of us he has in frames in his room and the few cards I've given him displayed on his shelf. He wants to spend his time between jobs with me (today we watched baseball and then he went to work). He's honest about what he's upset about when he's upset about something. I wish I was more like that. It's a lot easier to talk about stuff than it is to try to work it out in your own head. He's jealous of Joe Mauer, it's so cute. He always offers me something to drink when I walk into his house (and his mom always offers me something to eat). He still has boys night with his friends on Tuesdays. He came to the bar the other night to see if me or Erica needed a ride home. Every time I see a guy in a striped polo shirt, I think of him. He let me wear his favorite PJ's last night. The best thing though is waking up next to him on the morning. I can't even explain the awesomeness.

Just in case anyone else wanted to know. If I'm making you barf, I understand and apologize.

I love spring, it makes me happy. Especially this spring.

I'm a little irritated. Matt's ex-fiancee is suddenly single and of course he wants to be a nice guy and be a friend to her while I'm sure what she really wants is to dig her claws back into my boyfriend. I'll take her out!

I've been switching back and forth blogging here and myspace. Just so ya know!

Vegas was super fun. Seeing Dan was even better. Our hotel room was so awesome except that the bathroom wasn't separate so we could hear each other doing their business. And there was a lot of business going on with all the alcohol and beers.
Our plane landed a little late and the cab line was super long. I felt bad about Dan having to wait in the hotel lobby for us for so long. We got settled and decided it was definitely time for a drink. We waled right across the street to NYNY and got enormous frozen beverages from Coyote Ugly. I drank mine pretty quickly. We worked our way down the strip all the way to Treasure Island and had margaritas at Kahunaville, which was super fun just like last year. After that we were actually quite pooped and were probably all the way back to the room and asleep by 12:30 pm or so. Had breakfast buffet the next morning and went out to gamble more and shop. That night we took a cab downtown and had a lot of fun. We gambled and drank beer and super strong frozen daquiris. Met these adorable ladies from KY and chatted with them for a while. The lightshow finally came on and it was awesome. A million times better than the one last year. After spending a while downtown we went back to the hotel and then back to NYNY for more drink and then back to the west wing bar by our room in the MGM Grand. It was super fun. Dan and I were pretty drunk. Tuesday was when I lost all my money gambling. Damn you, Vegas! I had fun doing it though. I found out Kirby Puckett died which was fucking shitty. I hate when people die like that and you're caught totally off guard. He was totally my hero when I was a kid and I don't care what people say, he was a good guy and bought so much happiness to people's lives. RIP KIRBY PUCKETT! It rained Tuesday night also, which sucked! Wednesday was when we left and leaving always sucks. Especially when you're not leaving with Dan. :( Our plane took off really late. We watched "the Family Stone" on the plane so it was kinda hard not to cry. Then I cried anyway after it was over because my fucking ears suck on airplanes. Boo. I'm broke. Luckily my federal tax returns have arrived!

We went to Vogels the other night and drank. Matt's totally in love with me and I can't really blame him. He was telling about a conversation he had with someone where he said he was falling in love with me. I talked to Tony about it last night and we agreed that that was his pussy way of trying to tell me he loves me. Strangeness.

Anyway, Friday's St. Patricks Day and I'm very excited!!!!

It snowed so much the other day and aparrently WBL doesn't plow anymore. My car was fucked up yesterday and this morning I was unable to get out of Matt's driveway. We had to go back and try again when he was done with work at 2. The ass of my car was in the middle of his cul-de-sac. Can't wait for spring.

I can't fucking wait!

It's Friday and I'm going to Vegas Sunday! Holla! I've spent a lot of time with Matt this week. I made him breakfast this morning and last night we played pool, the night before we watched Ghost World and ate Arby's, the night before we went to the bird, the night before we went to Jimmy's and the batting cages, the night before we watched a movie after he got done with work. Hanging out with him is cool, but not as cool as Vegas!

Life is interesting right now. It seems everyone's changing in my life but almost all the changes are for the better. Yesterday was my mom's b-day and Molly brought her boy Andy so now we've all three brought boys to family stuff. How weird. None of us had ever done that before this year!

Props to Dan for getting a promotion at a job he wanted to quit.
