Oh. My. God. I think this video clip will have me laughing for the rest of the day. (Via Firefox Flicks)
Also, if you're in Seattle, pick up this week's edition of the Seattle Weekly. My review's in it! :D

HAHAHA srsly lolz! Those are so great!
Thank you Photobooth, Kat, and Justin for making me laugh to tears for the second time that week, something I never do.
It was great to have you guys down and I remember just how much I miss being a dumbass when you guys are here. Only a few months to Glacier and even fewer months until another visit!

Justin's 26th birthday is tomorrow, and I plan to make it up to him for forgetting our anniversary. It was, after all, my focus on his birthday that made me forget in the first place. We'll be spending this weekend in Eugene with friends pretending we wouldn't otherwise be playing World of Warcraft. (Thankfully, I'm actually enjoying that little vice now, otherwise I'd never see my boyfriend.)
I am feeling much calmer and slightly more in-focus than previously. The initial steps I made to work on my anxiety (meds/therapy) were good choices to get me started on a productive path of re-centering myself. I've been trying to start meditating and keeping a paper journal but so far, failing. Even with a little more calm in my life, there still aren't enough hours in the day. I'll soon be getting up early(er) with the hopes of setting up a healthy morning ritual for myself and maybe getting a hold of some introspective goodness.
I'm shying a bit away from personal exposure in a public forum. At least, in this respect. I won't be sharing many details of these changes in my life, primarily because I feel it's more "healing" to keep them more private. (I guess it just stresses me less.) In lieu, however, and also in order to revisit a creative hobby I've set aside, I want to start photographing more. After all, I have this beautiful piece of equipment and I ought to use it!
My gallery is working again, so you can now check out some photos from the first bout of this year's Rat City Roller Girls season!

I mean, at least this gym isn't populated by scores of underdressed sorostitutes burning off the only calories they'll consume that day by hopping effortlessly on eliptical trainers. There are only a few patrons who annoy me, and for entirely different reasons that I'm not going to get into. I'd rather let go of my needless spite for them and let them continue to be poorly trained by the meathead instructor. It just hurts to watch.
And there's another thing, too. The gym staff seems to have a philanthropic bent. On more than one occasion I've seen a poster advertising group activities to benefit the homeless. In fact, there's one in the bathroom right now. The body of the poster is normal enough: "Two chances to feed the homeless with us on Tuesday April 18 and Tuesday April 25th." It's the headline that gets me. Right next to a clip art image of a fancy waiter, towel over arm, serving a businessman at a sidewalk cafe, is the large block text, "HOMELESS FEEDING."

And then I almost forgot to write about it.
Friday, April 7th, was the six year anniversary of the day Justin and I officially started dating. That day, six years ago, was also a Friday. And after the cops finished interrogating Justin for bringing a claymore into what we learned was pre-school property, we celebrated our union by going out to Toyoda Sushi. I would have thought Toyoda Sushi a fitting way to celebrate this first "official" date (we'd been going there before we started dating). I would have thought this, except I forgot about our anniversary.
Color me mortified!!!
See, I'd been focusing so much on Justin's birthday, which is April 19th, that I didn't think to prep for our date-a-versary and it snuck up on me. My only excuse is that we've been dating for so long it just didn't occur to me any more-- but I *did* make a big deal out of our 5th anniversary last year, so I'm not sure I can use that excuse.
Justin, of course, didn't forget and had secretly planned something all along. I walked headlong into it because I didn't know to suspect anything, and he took me out for a lovely dinner at the Dahlia Lounge. Not the nostalgia of Toyoda's, to be sure, but a fine & fancy alternative. I don't think he minded that I forgot, because my mortified moaning made up for it in apologetics. I'll have to make his birthday a good one, especially since he's now "over the hill" from 25.
Thanks, hon, for sticking with me through thick and thin. You're still my best pal, my snuggle buddy, and my mate. It would be a lie to say I enjoy every minute of it (*wink*)... I know I'm a handfull too, but we're making an awesome life together and I'm grateful for every day. Love you! <3

okay, here's the 4-1-1 on what i was talking about before about the red flags in that j "still" hasn't popped the question. kudos to you guys for being level-headed and wanting to get things in check such as living together / in the same zip code / etc... BUT, i also know a fair number of couples who were all level-headed and foresightful (i just made up that word i think) until the cows came home, together for years and years until it became flat-out vanilla. in one case the guy and in another case the gal left the longterm partner kinda suddenly and were married to someone else in a passionate (but true) whirlwind about a year later. i'm just saying... don't be that girl who is making excuses while others are saying "she needs to wake UP!"

When it comes down to it, the only people who should be concerning themselves about Kat and Justin... are Kat and Justin. All other opinions are null and void, since their relationship, as any relationship, is their business.
By Rachel, at
9:28 PM, April 13, 2006
true, but you can say that about anything in anyone's life. how often kat gets sick is her business, what her job is, how she won her NING ipod... the thing about blogging is, when someone chooses to blog about something in his / her life and opens a comment option, it usually means he / she is expecting comments.

It seems that you are the *only* one saying "she needs to wake UP!" Do you know me well enough to say that? Have you seen my relationship outside the limited attention I dedicate to it here?
If the answer is "no," I have to ask "why?" Do I make you feel somehow threatened? Remind you of a mistake you, yourself have made?
While I appreciate your concern for my well being, need I remind you that over 50% of marriages fail? And I'd venture to the half that fails ISN'T the half who know each other well and have a level-headed, mutually respectful and considerate partnership. So much for whirlwind romance. As for me, I find marriage an overrated expression of commitment. I appreciate the technical and ritual aspects of it, but I know a thing or two about commitment and it begins with and ends with respect, something Justin and I have a great deal of for each other.
I'm in no rush to get to the altar, thank you very much. And it's my, as well as my partner's prerogative. So don't you think for one minute here that I'm actually sitting here waiting for him to ask. We've discussed it at length and while that may seem too "vanilla" for you (and ask me about "vanilla" again, dear, I'm good friends with a pro-domme) it seems a mark of good faith to me. So please understand that your values are legitimate but they are not values that I share.

How does that equate to being couch potatoes? Well, the little bits of organization only took a short time. Then we played WoW for three hours and watched five hours of Battlestar Galactica. Serious geekage. Today we're helping my boss move (again) since he cut his hand enough to require eight stitches yesterday.
We're SUPPOSED to go for our "Sunday Run" and get groceries, but I'm thinking I might nix the run. It's raining and I feel that unpleasantness might just sour my warm, cozy feeling.

Cleaning up all this stuff is part of the self-reorganization (a bit of Spring Cleaning) I'm doing right now, in addition to filing some OR State back taxes and attempting to begin meditating and writing a more introspective paper journal. I guess I'm trying to put "me" back on my daily "to do" list. Hm, that sounds wrong.
I'm dead tired, got a stuffy head, and still have to shelve the rest of the dusty books I pulled from boxes. I got nothin' else to say, so enjoy this pretty picture of the Andromeda Glacier from Banff, Canada. Someday I'll finish editing the rest of those photos and stack them in my gallery when it's working again. Back on the blogging bandwagon soon.

Liberated from parents! Yay!
At least now you won't have to deal with your mom threatening to throw it all out every time you call (or maybe *your* mom didn't do that). Ryan and I are going to have to do some major reorganization of our tiny apartment once we get all the furniture from my folks' place.. NOT looking forward to that.
What's up with your gallery?

you seem to get sick a lot. you seem to eat right, get exercise and sleep, keep stress low as possible, get love / human contact, all the right stuff... i found once i made a conscious effort to get those in my life i never (knock on wood) hardly ever get sick..... i wonder if i'm just lucky.

No, I don't get sick a lot... or at least I didn't used to. For many years while I was in college, I caught one, maybe two minor bugs a year. I think it's all the stress I've been going through since my move up here. Part of the side effects of being anxious is constant exhaustion. Or, it could be that I'm in a 2-foot radius of 4 other people in my office and when they get sick, I'm in for it too!
Thinking back, I've only had one major illness this year-- in November. This cold and the one other I picked up were extremely light. I'm healthy again already, so this was something quite minor! :)
