Day 94 - Rob, Inksmith, Heidi Montag, District 9, Little Sister

This morning Rob and I went to lunch (this morning?) at the Loop. As usual. He was going to get a tattoo today, and Eddy was going to do it, although Mike was using the table at Inksmith so we couldn’t. And Rob wanted white ink and Eddy didn’t think Rob fully understood what white ink looks like, but he did. Oh well. We left Inksmith, and went to Starbucks then his apartment. Where we beat each other up and read Heidi Montag’s terrible interview with Spencer in PlayBoy. The pictures were hilarious. I love her, just because I love to hate her so much. They are a weird group.

Once I got home I went with my mom and Liam to Publix, where I was beat up again, this time by Mikey and Liam who tag teamed me in the freezer aisle. I am going to have intense bruises on my arms tomorrow. The one that is already showing is from when I jumped onto Mikey to hug him and my arm hit his nose. Already tender and blue. Oh well.

Tonight I met Christina, my little sister for school. We met up at Starbucks in San Marco and just talked about school and Jacksonville and whatnot. We seem to be really similar and I m excited about this.

After I left San Marco I drove to Tinseltown and met up with Kevin and we saw District 9. I have heard so much about it being one of the most amazing movies ever, but I thought it was just really weird. I didn’t see how it was so amazing. It was alright. Once we left the theater we sat on my car and talked, and laughed at all of the hilariously awkward couples in the parking lot until we realized we were a part of it. There were these two horribly annoying girls running through the parking lot, obviously hiding from someone. They were running and yelling and being really obnoxious. Kevin wanted to shoot them with his paint ball gun. I encouraged him to do so, but he wouldn’t. Finally we realized that they were the third and fourth wheels on their friends date, and turned out it was this girl’s first date with this guy. It was a hilarious situation to watch unfold. We eventually left and got Icee’s. I usually don’t like having more than one Icee flavor at once, but Kevin made the most magical concoction. It was delicious. We went back to the Tinseltown parking lot so he could get his car. We sat there and talked, and we both fell asleep in my car. Not for very long, but it happened. I was exhausted.

Day 86 - Fox, Art Market, JMOCA, Cummer, Shai Hulud, SATURDAY

Today was far more eventdul than yesterday, thank god. We woke up and went to get breakfast at the Fox. On the way there we stopped and saw Jenn at Casablanca. I have never been there. She gave us the tour. Then we went to Breakfast, and saw Amber slaving away back in the kitchen. Didn’t get to say hello. From there we went to the Art Market. It keeps getting worse and worse. There is less art and more children’s clothing. It is really disappointing. We did meet this one really nice artist, Jay Negron, who had some amazing charcoals. After we walked around the art market for a bit we went to walk around Five Points. Took Ashley to Edge City, Clothing Warehouse, Anomaly, and Wolfgang. I bought an amazing dress at Wolfgang. We left 5 pts and went to JMOCA. I haven’t been there in a while. There had a huge Rosenquist that was amazing.

This afternoon we also went to the Cummer, and we sat in the garden and painted for over an hour. It was a nice day. We came home, showered, and went to dinner with my mom and Jenn at Timiquana. Then Ashley, Jenn and I went to the Pit to see the Shai Hulud show. Colton was there, of course, completely wasted, of course. Therefore more Colton Words of Wisdom came out of his mouth. He is one of the funniest people I know. At one point during the show we were outside ad we were dancing, ballroom style. I said, “Colton why didn’t you dance with me at my prom?” And he put his hands on his hips and stood in the gayest way possible, then said, “Kate, a lot has changed since your prom. I’m a man now.” It was the funniest thing ever.

Saw Kevin also. And Stamps. And a lot of people I did not care to see, including Justin Jarrell. Ew. During one of the bands I was sitting outside with Colton and Stamps and Ashley, and this girl runs by, and just starts hitting this other girl and pulling her hair. It was like the third fight that night. But, since it was a girl fight, no one broke it up. Kevin ran after then taking pictures. It was hilarious. The whole time they were fighting Colton was jumping around yelling, “It’s Saturday! It’s Saturday!!” Overall it was a hilarious night.

Day 82 - Timiquana, THRASH AND BURN

This morning Jenn and I began the day by going to Timiquana to lay out and swim for a while. Of course it started to rain right when we got there, though. We swam and used the rest of her roll of underwater film. Other wise it was pretty uneventful.

Tonight was Thrash and Burn, and I had been looking forward to it for months, seriously. It was amazing. It started at 3, but Evan and I didn't get there until around 8. MyChildren MyBride had JUST played when we got there, but that was alright. Right when I got there I saw Colton, Kevin, Chris, and Stamps. Eddy and Brandon were supposed to come up there as well but they didn't. Oh well. Evan and I watched all these crazy bands. Emmure played, and Emmure just reminds me of Wyatt so I never really listen to them. But I stayed to watch. The second the started to play a pit broke out, and immediately this really big guy fell to the ground, and his head was gushing blood. Evan and I were stumped. I have no clue what happened. But the guy was draged over right next to where I was standing, and he was unconscious. They had to carry him out, leaving behind an immense amount of blood. I still don't know what happened to him. I will hopefully find out from Colton. Emmure was pretty good, though. After the guy was carried out someone kept messing with my hair. I was standing in the pit, and right behind me there was a nother level so I was eye level with people's feet. I kept giving this girl a dirty look, thinking that she was messing with my hair. But then I saw a Ked's Classic running away. Kevin. I untied his shoe. Being as scrawny as he is, he squeezed through the bars and stood with Evan and I for a bit, warning me of the pool of blood I was standing in. Yech.

We went to the other stage and watched some crazy metal band that had all these 40 year old guys with hair to their waists. And their drummer was 13 years old. So that was impressive. There were no other horribly eventful things that happened though. It was an amazing show. I have never seen or listened to DevilDriver before, and I saw them today. Epic. Seriously. I have already downloaded all of their CDs. It was so good.

After the show Evan dropped me off at Murray hill where I met up with Jenn and we went to Kickbacks to ring in her birthday. Usually, you get to Kickback's and it takes about 10 minutes for anyone to realize that you are waiting for service. But about 2 minutes after we sat down, the waiter from last night brought Jenn a little thing of Chocolate syrup with a straw. It was hilarious, but she was embarrassed. We rang in her birthday with chocolate milk and our favorite waiter. It was good times.

Matthew Hastings of MCMB replied to one of my tweets I sent him on Twitter. I about peed myself.

Tomorrow is her birthday. I am excited.

Day 76 - Painting, Target, Night at the Roxbury

Today I helped paint Mrs. Risdon's classroom with a bunch of teachers and kids. that was fun, although it was more of a work out than it should have been. My hair is completely white from where I kept hitting my head on wet paint so now I look like I have the most intense dandruff ever.

I kept cleaning all this afternoon, and got rid of another chunk of stuff from in my room. I got rid of everything that was in the shadow boxes on my dresser and night stand and went to Target to get photos developed to replace them with. Wile there I got a frame to hang one of my prints above my bed. I was looking ROUGH while I was there. Sweaty, needing a shower, hair and legs covered in paint. So, of course, who do I see? Mike Woods. The first thing I said was a disclaimer about not having intense dandruff, and he grabbed my head and was like "let MEEEEE see!" Then we discussed how he can only wear a pair of socks once then throws them away. Then of course the conversation turned to Jenn and it was far less awkward. But STILL. Embarrassing.

Then tonight after I was showered got the majority of paint out of my hair, my friend Kevin came over and we watched Night at the Roxbury, since he has never seen it. Watching a movie with him tonight made me think of last summer and watching movies with Wyatt all the time. Not talking to him anymore still hurts. He went from being one of my best friends and talking 24/7 to never speaking again. I have seen him a few times but we still havent spoken. It still hurts.

Day 74 - Emma, Liam, Corbett, Bayside, Mikey

Today was a busy day, although it didn't feel like it. I woke this morning and worked on cleaning my room for a while, then Emma came and took Liam and I to lunch at Al's. Although when we were walking into Al's, Liam said, "I wonder if Mommy is here yet?" Then I had to tell him that Mommy wasn't meeting us up there, which I never said in the first place, and he lost it. Of course. 9 years old and cried like crazy because Mommy wasnt going to come have lunch with us. It was embarrassing. But Emma made it better because she said she would go across the street to Smoothie King and make him a free smoothie after lunch. That worked.

After lunch I came home, took a shower, and waited for my mom to come back from work. When she got back I drove out to the beach to see the acoustic Bayside show outside at Aqua East. I have never really listened to Bayside, but Corbett was pestering me to go, so I did. It was beautiful weather, and just a bit rainy. There were a lot of people there, and it was a good show. I saw Kevin and a bunch of other people. I was glad I went, even though I wasn't thrilled originally.

I went from Aqua East to Fugi Sushi, and pretty much just sat there for almost two hours with my mom, Liam, Mrs. Haramis and a bunch of other people I really didn't know, all the while starving to death. Then finally it was time for my dinner. I went and picked up Mikey and we went to Dennys. Seriously, I have had Dennys 2 days in a row. I am going to drop dead. Never eating there again. We sat across from the largest woman I have ever seen, and not only did she look like a while, but she was making whale sound effects. It was hilarious.

And now I am home and in bed. Tomorrow I am babysitting Liam again, going to the pool and lunch with Ian. Hoorah.

Day 73 - Trickery, Rob, Kevin

I woke up this morning to trickery. My phone rang, waking me up, and I saw it was my dad. "Come over we are making chocolate fondue!" Alright, how am I supposed to pass that one up? I scurried on over there, and then as I am pulling in I see it: Kathleen's car in the driveway. So I was tricked into spending the morning with her. Great.

Rob and I went to the Loop for lunch. Then he got a ca rwash. That's pretty much all we do anymore. It's getting pretty pathetic. We need to actually do something soon.

Tonight I finally saw Harry Potter. Kevin took me to see that, and it was really good. I am sick of everyone saying it was really bad because it didn't follow the book. But really, if he movies were going to follow the books, the movies would be 10 hours long. I really liked it. Afterwards, we went to Dennys and I had delicious french toast. Then we drove out to the beach to walk on the beach for a while. I have never really hung out with Kevin, but it was a lot of fun, and really nice. He is a sweet guy and really easy to talk to. As we were walking, we kept seeing huge black blobs running across the sand, but we couldn't tell what they were. A bit later, we passed a couple walking in the opposite direction, chasing one of the blobs and taking pictures. They were armadillos. WHY were there armadillos at the beach? and in the water? It was crazy. We walked from the plaza, down under neath the pier and well past the pier. I think we walked for about two hours. Then when we were walking back, we lost the car. Of course neither of us payed attention to which street we parked on, so we walked for what felt like another hour before we found his car again. Tonight was a very good adventure.

Day 70 - Babysit, Pearl

Today was a lazy, but very good day. I woke up around noon and just meandered about the house. I rented Breakfast Club a while back and I just got around to watching it this morning. Then I worked on the pile of terrible movies I bought last week. So pretty much all day I cleaned, babysat Liam, and watched Breakfast Club, Perfect Score, and My Boss’s Daughter.

And, being a Thursday, Jenn and I went to the Pearl. We met up with Josh who bought us Joose, but the AP was out of Red, so he got me orange. Honestly, the orange tasted like the smell of our laundry room the time Liam played outside in the rain with shoes and socks on, then the socks mildewed at the bottom of the laundry hamper without anyone noticing. I was gagging trying to drink it. I have never noticed before, but apparently Joose is an energy drink, so technically I shouldn’t be drinking it because of my heart. And Josh knows this so each time he gets it for me he gives me a little talk about being careful. “Ok thanks Dad.”

Jenn and I have hilarious arguments that emphasize how reckless we are. “I thought you were going to open it for me!” “We are at a red light do it yourself!!”

When we got to the Pearl we just drove around for a bit, and we found a building on fire, and that was exciting. Although immediately afterwards both of us wanted barbeque… Went inside the Pearl, and the first person I saw was Jason Wagner. Awesome. We just stopped talking a few months ago and that was kind of awkward. Right away we went out back and Josh came up to us holding a PBR. Except Josh is 19, with big black X’s on his hands. We were in the middle of telling him to put it down, when he got kicked out. Bye, Josh. There were so many random people at the Pearl tonight. I saw Andrew Harper, who I haven’t seen in a long time. And Kevin. “Oh my god Kate! I haven’t seen you in like 6 years! Are you single?!” Oh my. Haha.

Otherwise it was a very fun, but uneventful night.
