DrKitten Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Concert was AMAZING! It wasn't nearly long enough. My band wasn't even the main headliner, but lots of people left after they played, lol. Including us. My brother bought me a shirt sweet of him. I'll need to see that band again, they put on an amazing live show. The venue was pretty neat too. Small enough that you could see well from just about anywhere. I'm going there again in a few weeks with the boyfriend for another show. Giving him a full report tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm at the point where my arms and legs don't feel too sore after a workout anymore, but just my ankles feel super sore! I wonder if it's from the Vibram shoes. I'm starting to think they're a size too small for me. Not working out today, giving the ankles a rest and doing some stuff for my art show. It feels so far away but I only have about 4.5 weeks until my opening! I don't know how I'm not panicking. I think the exercise and being surrounded by very supportive people is helping.

DrKitten Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Had a bit of a heart-to-heart with my mom today. Nothing really heavy, just us chatting and catching up. It feels like I haven't had a real conversation with her in a long time. She works nights and is still asleep when I leave for school, and I usually head straight to my boyfriend's after school and spend the night. She asked about my relationship and I told her things were good, great even. She then asked jokingly, "So when are you marrying him?" and I said, "You know... I can really see that happening with him one day." I don't really open up to my mom about my relationships but I had no problem telling her that. The night of the concert, I said pretty much the same thing to my brother. Now if only I had the guts to tell the man himself, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKitten Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 I have been itching to play The Sims 3 again lately, so I'm reinstalling the game. I'm not a big gamer but The Sims games are one of my guilty pleasures. Last time I "seriously" played, I focused on one family, took tons of pictures and blogged their story through about 5 generations. My goal was 10 generations, but I never made it that far. It was fun to establish a bloodline and I got to really love the characters. I don't have nearly the time to get that involved again, but it'll be a nice escape whenever I have some down time. Plus I have a nice, fat 2TB hard drive to store this massive game on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I am so tired... I'll have to go school an extra day or two to finish a project before the deadline next week and am dreading having to commute so much. I wish I was still able to live in my school's city. Haven't had time to run or do yoga, which sucks because now I'm feeling the stress get to me. At least this last quarter is flying by. It's half way done already. Can't believe I have exactly 4 weeks to get my show together. My school's juried show opening was Monday. I won an art scholarship award. Boyfriend took me out for margaritas that night to celebrate We just passed 10 months together. I am quite worn out... but doing what I love and am with the man I love. Can't ask for much better.

DrKitten Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 My thread about anniversary presents makes me want to put down my idea for my BF's birthday present. In my head it sounds genius but if you guys want to add any input, feel free! So we're both really into beer. On his next birthday, he'll be 30. My plan is to get a large cardboard box and write on it in with stencils "MR. KITTEN'S BIG BOX OF BIRTHDAY BEER PORN" And draw pairs of beer bottles in various positions (like sex positions) with labels that say XXX. Inside the box will be 30 different beers, plus a birthday card/note from me. His birthday will be on a Tuesday and he will most likely be working. I want him to find the box when he comes home from work. We don't live together, so given that he's still at the same job and living at the same place, I may have to devise a sneaky plan with his roommate to drop it off earlier in the day when he's not home. I think it's creative and funny, which I think he'd appreciate. Only thing is, 30 different beers might get pricey, especially if I get 22s of some nicer stuff. Maybe I'll include a couple six packs of his favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Boyfriend after pouring pancake batter that almost fills the entire pan he's using: "Oh yeah! This is gonna be a MANcake! Will you please butter my mancakes?" Later: BF: My phone is le dead. Me: Are you French now? BF: Oh yeah! Can't you just see me wearing tights? Considering joining the flock and starting a "stuff my boyfriend says" blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Boyfriend while grabbing my ass as we say goodbye this morning: "I like this skirt. It accentuates your... lady-proportions." Haha, I thought it was adorable the way he said that. I'm very thin and not particularly curvy, so it made me feel awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 We had a nice Cinco de Mayo dinner last night. Margaritas for 55 cents, woo! Ran into 3 of my high school teachers at the coffee shop this morning. It's been 5 years since I was in high school and they all looked exactly as how I remember them, hah. Boyfriend and I are going to a concert tonight. I might also be seeing off my best friend, who is traveling accross Europe with her fella until August. Aside from that, not much is going on in my life aside from art show stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that my best friend is leaving for Europe for 3 months. Couldn't stop crying this morning. I'm not sure why, she just gets up and travels all the time, it's what she loves. She's been gone for several months before. Sure I'd like to go with her, and I know I'd be able to if I made it a priority. But I made other stuff a priority. And I HAVE traveled. I spent weeks in Denmark and Indonesia and loved it. But now I feel like I need to focus on being an adult and work to build my life. She thrives on living day to day, being spontaneous and not planning ahead, while I prefer more stability. She's young, fun, and adventurous, which is cool I guess. But her boyfriend (who's going with her) is 36 and just lost his job. Her attitude toward that is "It's such a perfect opportunity to travel! He doesn't have to worry about his job since he lost it anyway. When we get back, we'll pick up right where we left off." Her "GO GO GO, doesn't matter where, LET's JUST GO" attitude has always made me feel slightly uncomfortable I guess. I don't like feeling uncertain, I don't like not knowing what I'm doing. She knows how to take care of herself though, so I don't think I'm really worried about her. Maybe in the long term, I am. She never looks very far into the future and I do wonder if that's going to bite her in the ass some day. Sure I'll miss her, but even when she's around we'll both get busy and not see each other for a couple of weeks. I highly doubt it's that. I don't know what's up with me. I just wish I could feel happy for her instead of upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I can kind of understand that. My best friend is more live each day today and I tend to look forward, odd since she had a 2 year old but it's her personality. I love her for it but it's one of the few areas we clash in becuase we aren't alike in that regard. I know she can't understand why I'm up and moving to England next year or the reasons why it will be so much better for my future family. Sometimes you just have to love them for being different.

DrKitten Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Oh yeah, for sure. It would probably be a boring, unfulfilling friendship if she was more like me, hah. But I've known this girl since we were 10 and she's always fun and keeping me on my toes. Gotta love her for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yep. The only time my friend and I butt heads is when it comes to what we define as 'fun'. I'm a stay at home on Saturday night kind of girl, reading a book and she's out at the club kind of girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 I got nothing against clubs but as you said earlier, a bit odd when she has a kid to take care of. When my friend and I road trip or something and we get lost, I don't really panic but I get like, "Oh crap, gotta find our way back. Don't want to run out of gas, money, can't lose phone reception, etc." She's like, "Wooooo! New places to explore!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 And she is a wonderful mother. i don't think she goes nearly as much as she did when she wasn't a mom - I say clubs but perhaps bars would be a better word - but in gengeral, she hates sitting at home and doing nothing. I love that 'me' time or just having my fiance on the couch next to me doing something different. I probably come accross as a complete bore to her but hey, ho.

DrKitten Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 I might be able to get a job as a server in an Italian restaurant. Not my ideal situation but if I find nothing else, at least I'll be employed until getting into grad school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 So, it looks like I'm starting the restaurant job tonight. Unexpected, but I'm happy to finally be employed. I told my parents this morning and right away they were like, "You're already so busy, are you sure you can do it?" I replied I only have 4 more weeks of school left so yeah, I think I can handle it. After graduating, I'll only have this job and my internship 1 day a week while I continue looking for my ideal job. Right after that, my mom goes, "If you want, I can ask Aunt 1 and Aunt 2 if they have any job openings at their hospitals..." Okay now I'm a little annoyed because those hospital jobs would require me to commute 45+ minutes while this restaurant job is local, and they're worried about THAT making me too busy? I get that you're trying to help but it's not making sense. I have no issues with being a server. I'm just happy to have an income that doesn't require commuting while I keep looking for what's right for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Job is good so far I've never worked in a restaurant before but I find it pretty easy. The owners are fair, hardworking people. Customers seem good so far. I get my tip money tonight, woohoo! I feel like I'm in a very good spot right now. School is coming to an end with no headaches, I'm still communicating with my overseas friend via Facebook, boyfriend and I are doing wonderfully, and I'm no longer worried about my money running out. For now, I am content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Argh, okay. Small rift in my contentment. My parents are throwing me a graduation party at our house, which I appreciate and is very sweet of them. But tonight I just came home from work and my dad is filling me in on the details.... Dad: So we're inviting everybody. Me: Who's everybody? Dad: Well, the whole family... Me: (thinking) Okay, fair enough. Dad: ...And some of my coworkers... Me: Uh... what? Dad some of my friends from the martial arts club... Me: Um, what the F? Dad: ...So was there anyone you wanted to invite? Me: Uh yeah, how about some of MY friends and coworkers who actually KNOW me and give a crap that I'm graduating if that's okay with you? Bleh... I stayed tight lipped and didn't actually say anything to disagree. Don't know if I should. It's not a really big deal and I don't want to be a brat. I was having marriage fantasies about my boyfriend again today... If we ever have a wedding and my parents try to do this, I will definitely put my foot down then. Oy. I need a beer.

DrKitten Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Sleeping alone in my house for the first time in a while. Mom is working her night shift and Dad is off at some job training. Not doing anything exciting though. Surfed the net while drinking a beer and eating a slice of cheesecake from work. Got my postcards for my art show. Can't believe it's this Saturday. Still seems very surreal. Graduation even more so. And it's half past midnight and I'm tired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKitten Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Today is intense. Tomorrow and Friday will be even more so. I'm on such a time crunch at this point. My brain is buzzing for a cigarette, ugh. I'm installing hanging hardware on my prints, plus writing up some paperwork. Tomorrow I have two meeting that are pretty important, and at some point will need to work on an entirely separate project. Some dude wants to photograph me for his tattoo project tomorrow but he is sounding pretty flaky and indecisive about it. I was just like "Look, I'll be around. Grab me if you need me, but I have things to do and am not going to seek you out." Friday I have 4 hours to hang my show before I have to be back in my town for work that night. Two friends and my dad have said they'd help me, which is nice. If I don't finish, I'll have to do so on Saturday before the opening. Then when 6pm Saturday rolls around... I'll FINALLY be able to drink, relax, and talk about my art. My show has garnered some interest on the internet and with strangers by word of mouth, so I'm hoping for a successful night. I will barely be able to see my boyfriend this week and am already feeling a bit needy for him. Just need to survive until Saturday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
