Today was just as uneventful as yesterday. At work I spent 3 hours watching an HTML training video which was pointless. Jenn and I both have HTML memorized from our days of making awesome webpages. Right.
The whole time I was watching I was playing Pokemon.
I came home and took a walk down Las Olas to the larger homes with the yachts. I took my camera with a new roll of film and that was nice. Talked to Lauren on my way there and Emma my way back.
I came home, and I played Pokemon.

Day 52 - Tyler, Pretzels
This morning I was supposed to go to breakfast with Tyler at 10. I woke up at 10:48. Damn. I called him and he was at breakfast with someone else already. It was weird, he never even called. Texted once, but didn’t call. Oh well. We went to lunch at Panera instead and that was delicious. I haven’t had my favorite sandwich in a while. It was nice seeing Tyler today. We see each other about once every 2 years. The last time I saw him we had breakfast at Chickfila before he left to work at Camp Carolina the summer of 2007.
Jenn came over and we looked though all of the pictures from the weekend. They are hilarious and I will back post them. We went to town center since neither of us have been there in a long time. Well, I haven’t been in a few weeks but that’s forever for me. When we got there, I saw Auntie Anne’s and I thought “Hm. I really want a pretzel.” Then as we walked on I saw the Nathan’s stand and thought. “Or I want a hot dog….” After we did our shopping we decided to get pretzels until Jenn reminded me of God’s best invention: a pretzel dog. So I got both things I wanted in one. It was fantastic. At the mall I got an amazing shirt at Urban and some new make up.
I am now sitting on the plane, heading back to Fort Lauderdale. I only have two more weeks of work. Hoorah! I feel like my summer has been divided into three parts. Jacksonville Part One, Work, then Jacksonville Part Two. I hope Part Two is better than Part One.
My blog entries are lacking lately. I have nothing interesting to report aside from being home. This week Marsha wont be around a lot, so hopefully I can go see a movie. I want to see the Hangover pretty badly. I have heard it’s amazing. Jessica and I might go shopping again, and she wants me to take her to the museum on Thursday. I hope that all works out. More importantly, I have to stay in Fort Lauderdale this weekend since I have to work on Saturday morning. I think Jenn is going to come down to stay, and I really hope she does. Flights are super cheap.
The bruise on my arm is even more hilarious today. I have had three different people say, “Oh my god it looks like someone grabbed your arm.” When that’s exactly what happened. My story is that I hit my arm on a door hinge. Right. I don’t know how that would happen. The bruise is on my inside of my arm. I don’t want to know how that would be possible to get a door hinge hit that hard on that part of your arm. That would be a sight to see.
Alright I am bored. I am going to waste the rest of my flight editing 175 pictures of fireworks. This is pointless.

Day 51 - JSO, PVB, Fourth
This morning Jenn and I woke up and went straight to JSO. By this point I had a huge bruise on my neck and one on my arm that is obvious finger marks. We talked to a police officer and he wrote up a report for me. We couldn’t figure out how to spell Asshole’s last name, but eventually we found him. Unsurprisingly, he already has a mug shot. And he is laughing in it. We got the report written up and I have to go this week to file it, if I decide to file it.
We left downtown and came back home and got bathing suits and showers and whatnot then went to Tropical Smoothie for lunch. It was delicious. We went to Ponte Vedra and spent the day floating in the pool with AJ, Drew and Petal. Granny was back at Marsha’s house and it was nice to see her home and well. Finally out of the hospital!
Told my mom about what happened last night, thinking that would be a good idea since I need her help to file the report. She flipped, of course. And basically I am not allowed to see a lot of people anymore. I am alright with that, though. And she gave me a curfew, on Fourth of July. So that sucked. We talked about it and decided in the end that it wouldn’t be a good idea to file the report. Justin Jarrell, Asshole, is crazy. If he has no problem strangling a girl and giving her huge bruises when he is completely sober, I don’t want to know what he would do if I got him arrested. Since it would technically be a minor battery charge, it wouldn’t put him in jail, just ass something to his record. I would rather forget about the whole ordeal and move on.
Tonight Jenn and I went to 5 Points to watch the fireworks. We saw her friend Mike and he hung out with us for the night. Everyone was standing along the river at Memorial Park in front of the statue, then the fireworks started. Way over to the left. Everyone felt pretty stupid that we all were in the wrong spot. The fireworks were cool, but they are always the same. We left there and followed Mike to this party at his friend’s house. It was the coolest house I have ever been to. Apparently one of the guys that lives there’s mom owns an antique store, and the house was full of cool stuff. It was just like Jenn’s room, but in house form.
From there we went to Heather and Ollie’s loft downtown. Heather just got a kitten and it was the cutest thing ever. I usually don’t like cats, but my weekend was full of cats. Last night, Jenn and I spent quite some time chasing Joe’s cat, Titties, around his house. I think I liked that cat so much simply because his name was Titties. Heather’s cat was so tiny and adorable. Jenn and I spent the entire time that we were there playing with those blow toys. I have no idea how to describe it, but there are pictures. Obviously. I dont know why the majority of these are B&W. For some reason it makes me feel like it is New Years Eve.

Day 50 - "Starts off fun. Ends HORRIBLY."
Today was both the most amazing night of summer and the worst. Half in half.
Lets quickly run through my day. Woke up and went to the hospital to visit Granny for a bit. She was supposed to go home today but apparently her Potassium levels were too low so she may go home tomorrow. Not sure.
Anyways, tonight Jenn and I started off the night awesome. Se picked me up and we headed towards Riverside. We got there and had no clue what to do. Axell was going swimming and asked us to come but he wasn’t going to be off work for a while. So we were just driving around and killing time before heading to Steamworks and ended up on Colton’s street. We were supposed to be hanging out with him so we decided to go by and get him. We saw him and Ben and hung out with Colton for a bit at his house. That was fun. We walked down to the gas station and back, stopping at Kickbacks on the way so that Jenn could try to get a lighter from someone. We went back to Colton’s house, Joe came over, and then we went to Steamworks. Once we got there we hung out outside and it was fun.
Eventually we left to go back to Joe’s house to watch a movie or something, and when we got there we just danced and hung out and had fun. Axell finally called Jen and she left to go hang out with them. Colton and Joe and I sat around for about a half hour then the night took a turn.
Axell called me to get directions to Joe’s, but of course I had no clue so I gave the phone to Colton and Axell was flipping out. Apparently Jenn was upset but I had no idea why. A bit later Axell called again and told us to go downstairs as fast as possible. So Colton and I were gathering Jenn and I’s stuff together to leave then the Asshole came upstairs. I am just going to refer to him as Asshole. He started yelling at me to hurry up and go downstairs, saying “Someone else needs to deal with this fucking bitch downstairs I have had to deal with her for over an hour.” (10 minutes, max, he had been with her. Whatever.) He kept yelling and I screamed at him that he was being a jerk and to shut up. I went downstairs and Colton was right behind me, leaving Asshole upstairs. Once we got down there I didn’t see Jenn anywhere, and Axell was standing outside of the car. I can’t remember what he was saying, and I just remember Asshole storming downstairs and screaming about Jenn. He was calling her all of these terrible things and yelling that I had to go deal with her. I can’t remember exactly what he said that made me snap, but I ran at him, threatening to punch him if he didn’t shut up. I didn’t even get the chance to ball my fist. Next thing I know, I couldn’t breathe and his hands were around my neck. I froze and I had no clue what to do. I scarped at him until he threw me down to the ground, where I just laid and cried with Colton trying to console me. Then what happened hit me, and I realized he went towards Jenn. I got up and they were half way down the block. I ran towards then and got to Jenn and pulled her back towards the car, all the while screaming at Asshole. He and Axell finally left and it was just Jenn and Colton and I. I have no clue how long I stood there crying into Colton’s shirt with Jenn standing there in shock. Once we got into the car I found out what had happened when she was gone. Axell picked her up, and took her over to Hendrick, Asshole, and Jeremy’s house. Apparently Hendrick was there with another girl and flipped out on Axell for taking her there and wanted her to leave. She was fine with that, and since she was only a few blocks away she started to walk, and she was fine with that. Then Asshole comes up to her and picks her up. She was kicking at him but he would let her down. He unlatched the back of Hendrick’s Scion and literally threw her in there, while Axell and Hendrick laughed. He locked her in and wouldn’t let her out. Once they got back to Joe’s house, where Colton and I were, she didn’t get out of the car until I was on the ground. She heard me yelling at Asshole but didn’t see what he did to me, she just took off down the block.
I am home now, with a fresh bruise appearing on my neck. Erica called me, and I am going to file a police report in the morning. I have let one boy hurt me and get away with it, but I am not going to let him. My only worry is the consequences. The people that he knows and what could happen if it ever got out that it was me that reported me terrified me. But if he has absolutely no problem strangling and throwing one girl and locking another on a car, what would he do to anyone else? He obviously didn’t care about what he did, and watched me lay on the ground where he threw me, crying.
Jenn and I drove back, both in tears the whole way back. She is sleeping in Liam’s room right now. I completely agree with Jenns away message right now. “’Asshole’ is a nasty, sick fuck. Kate has bruises around her neck. Axell and Hendrick think it’s funny. I fucking hate every single one of you.”
The worst part about tonight is that I didn’t stand up for myself. I froze, and everything I have learned and I teach women was erased from my mind. I can’t be afraid of the outcome of reporting him. He deserves whatever he gets.
Jenn and I think that the Dane Cook line about tickling fits this night very well. "Starts off fun. Ends HORRIBLY."
So, starts off fun:
Ends HORRIBLY

Day 49 - Week Four, Thursday. Pearl. Home.
Today is basically Friday. At work I did the inventory for the Marketing Department and it was in this wing that isn’t used anymore. It was sketch. I want to bring my new camera up there at some pint during lunch and poke around.
This afternoon I left work early and flew back to Jacksonville. My mom picked me up at the airport and Bob Krieger, the CEO of one of the hospitals I am working at was there. I really hope he didn’t recognize me since I did not say hello. I ran for it. My mom and I went to the Brick for dinner, then I went to the Pearl with Jenn. Seriously, we both felt like we were there for about three days. The night was so long.
We met this girl named Jessica, who was so sweet and so hilarious. She bought us drinks that we drank hiding in bathroom stalls and behind the door of the bathroom. Apparently Preston and Joshua Criss don’t get along, because for about a half hour they stood on opposite sides of the back yard staring at each other, with Preston taking shit and thinking he’s really tough. That was great fun to stand around with Josh and laughing at he other group. Eventually we went back inside but apparently Josh had to get security to escort him out because Preston had a bunch of guys on his side out of nowhere. While we were standing out there Jenn and I were feeling silly so I was trying to hold her hand and when I finally did I was messing with her and said, “This feels right.” Jenn replied, “Kate, holding hands with you is like eating a muffin that was in the oven for 5 minute too long. Or like playing with playdoh that was left in the sun all day.” Jenn and I ended up sitting on the ground almost in tears laughing so hard.
I met a lot of interesting people tonight. And that is that.

Day 48 - Week Four, Wednesday
Today was finally a break from freezing and working on the newsletter. I went to Century Village today and worked there. Century Village is basically an old folks city. It reminds me of the Jerry Seinfeld thing about old folks homes. “Why do they have security? Are people stealing old people? Are old people escaping?” Century Village had some intense security.
The woman I worked with had basically zero computer skills, so she had me remaking fliers and stuff all morning. Apparently each flier or sign took her hours to make, and I was able to remake them in less than five minutes. So My day was spent re-doing her work. We went to lunch then to Goodwill. I went to Goodwill as part of my workday. Perfection. We got a bunch of tea cups and saucers because they are having a funky tea party next week and wanted to get all mismatched tea cups and saucers.
After work I went to Boca Town Center and returned some stuff, then met up with Jessica and we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner then shopping. She got a bunch of new work clothes and I just got a huge sweater. It is the comfiest thing ever.
