I still talk to Puppy occasionally. That said, he was incredibly frustrating me tonight while on AIM. He complained a while back that I wasn't sharing things with him as I did before, I acknowledged he was right and I changed that. So, now I share things with him.
I suppose doing that can backfire. I've been having issues concerning sexual orientation, and I've been reaching out to him, sharing with him.... I was trying to explain to him tonight that I think I'm on the hetero side of bi. He somehow couldn't grasp this concept and then proceeded to tell me that the reason I can't orgasm is because I'm disgusted by my own genitalia.
*blink blink* Huh? O.o I don't know where he got that one. I told him that I thought that the lower portion of female anatomy LOOKS gross, but isn't in itself gross. Am I the only person who understands the difference between "essence" and "aesthetic"? Sigh.
Grrrrr.... I'm aggravated by the whole thing. I need to simmer down.

No one ever leaves comments. That makes me sad.

The past two days have been generally quite wonderful. ^-^
Friday afternoon, literally about five seconds after I got out of Ethics class, Alex and Sarah grabbed me and the three of us went to Jun Lee, a wholesale oriental jewelry/accessory shop not terribly far from Rhodes. Cheaply priced stuff abounds there, since it's wholesale. Their only stipulation is that you must buy thirty dollars' worth of merchandise, and you can't return or exchange anything. But that's fine, 'cause I'm easily able to get a good thirty dollars' worth in there. They had awesome stuff! I bought some really ornate pens in a 12-pack that cost only ten bucks. Alex chose some jewelry and a little jewelry box that totalled a little over twenty bucks, so we combined ours to meet the $30 rule. Sarah bought so much stuff that I can't remember beyond two purses....
Anyhoo, after that we went to Animax, one of my favorite haunts. They sell everything that has to do with anime and manga. I bought some Sailor Moon playing cards. XD From there we went to Alex's house in Cordova, because she wanted to show us the extremely random rabbit fur coat that Scott gave her (for non-Rhodents: Scott and Alex have been dating for almost a year now). Scott likes showering her with gifts, which is very sweet and very nice of him, but a rabbit fur coat.... It's just random. I like gifts just as much as the next girl, but the kinds of gifts I like probably aren't as obvious. And if they are, I need to work on my feminine mystique. >_>
But I digress. After that, we went to a Thai restaurant there in Cordova called Pontip. It was quite delicious! The fried tofu left something to be desired, but the spring rolls and my Pad See Ew with sticky rice was most yummy. We stopped at TCBY after that, then came back to Rhodes. A lovely girls' outing for the three of us. ^-^
Fast forward to yesterday night. Alex, Kelly, Jimmy, Ginny, and I went rollerblading/skating at Cordova Skate Center. Woooo, lots of fun! And I didn't even fall down once! Happy times. ^-^

Today Sarah, Alex, Kelly, and I had a girls' day/night out. It was awesome! XD We went to the Wolfchase Mall and I bought a pair of cuorduroy pants at Aeropostale, and two wallscrolls at a bookstore (one Haibane Renmei and one Inuyasha). Then we went out to dinner at Pancho's downtown, came back here, watched Kate and Leopold -- an awesomely great movie. Life was very good today. ^-^

Laaaa, tonight was fun. XD Alex, Sarah, Scott, Fionn, Kelly, and I went rollerskating over in Cordova. We had a lot of fun, even thought the little kids were a lot better than us. I only had one serious accident: when I tried to show off a bit and do something fancy that I haven't been able to do since I was, say, 12, I really wiped out. It was all a blur, but I can say that the fall involved lots of flips and tumbles (we've all been calling it my "triple toe-loop" fall). Except for my right leg going numb for a few minutes, strangely enough I'm not in pain because of it. My calf muscles are in pain, but that's just from skating when I haven't in so long. I feel old....

Let it henceforth be known that on Saturday, August 28, 2004, and slightly before 10:00 PM CST, I beat Fionn Casey (and everyone else, but he's the only one I was actively trying to beat) at bowling at Jillian's in Memphis. XD I bowled a 132, also for the record. I feel mighty. Sarah, Alex, and Scott say that I have extensive bragging rights that don't expire for a while. I'm taking advantage of that. Mwahahahaha!!!
Anyhoo, today was Monday. I have had a relatively nice day. Tai Chi, as usual, was very relaxing, Spanish went well today, and Ethics.... Well, Ethics was Ethics. I did a load of whites, watched some AMVs, finished up my Sociology homework for tomorrow, started on some Spanish homework due a while from now, then took an hour-long nap. Then I showered and here I am. Hmm, I still need to write that notecard for Judaism.....

I had an awesome night last night. ^-^ First, I went to eat sushi at the downtown Sekisui with Alex, Sarah, Scott, and Fionn. We got back to Rhodes somewhere around 7:58, at which point I went to Kelly's room because she was having a pizza/Nintendo party. I had one slice of pizza and then played lots of Donkey Kong with her and a girl named Rachel. Well, actually, before we played, we watched an A&E special on Jeffrey Dahmer. 'Cause we're weird like that.
Anyhoo, after I had my fill of Donkey Kong, I walked over to Sarah and Alex's room to play DDR. I beat Sarah lots of times on Beginner level. Mwahahaha. XD I'm a happy Katie. *nod nod*
And then I took a shower, dried my hair, reencoded some Juuni Kokki, and went to bed.

Hoy era muy largo, muy largo. No creo que la clase de Sociología será muy interesante sino que será mucho trabajo. Posiblemente demasiado trabajo. Suspiro. También creo que la clase de Judaismo será mucho trabajo, pero el profesor es un rabino jubilado y es muy simpático. Lo siento si yo he asesinado el idioma de español....
A translation for you non-cultured geeks of mine ~-^ :
Today was long, very long. I don't think that Sociology class will be interesting but that it will be a lot of work. Possibly too much work. I sigh. I also think Judaism class will be a lot of work, but the professor is a retired rabbi and is really nice. I'm sorry if I've murdered the Spanish language....
Anyhoo, I've been a good girl and have gotten ahead on my homework. I've done all my Spanish homework up until September first, my Ethics homework for tomorrow, almost all of my Sociology homework for Tuesday, and all of my Judaism homework for Tuesday. I've promised myself to try to keep that up this year. We'll see how that goes....

Where had it gotten her? She gave and gave, tolerated and suffered emotional turmoil again and again, and for what? Look where it landed her--slowly bleeding to death while the one she loved abandoned her.
"I am nothing in his eyes. Nothing!" She gave a bitter laugh, which choked off into a cough as she spit up more blood. The gaping wound in her side had long since become numb, the deep gashes which covered her body no longer throbbing with pain. She felt weak, but not scared. She was calm and composed, waiting for her death; she saw no meaning to her life anyway.
She thought back to the incident which landed her here, discarded like a rag doll in which the owner is no longer interested.
For some reason I just really liked that passage. That is all. ^-^

I am all squared away up here at Rhodes. I'm moved in, my laptop is certified, I bought my textbooks, and I have gone through the five-second process of Enrollment Clearance. I have the rest of today to do absolutely nothing, because classes start tomorrow.
Second Sarah, one of my friends up here, I don't see much because she's a PA this year so she's busy with all the Orientation stuff for freshmen and transfers. Fionn is also busy because he's an RCC this year. I see Alex, Kelly, and Scott a lot, though. That makes me happy. ^-^
A few minutes ago I went and visited the girls who are living in the room Therese and I lived in last year. It looks so different.... I think I'll always miss that room. I really really loved it. Anyhoo, classes start tomorrow and I am a bit apprehensive. I guess I just don't quite know what to expect. I think Spanish will be my hardest class, but that's a good thing considering I want to major in Spanish. I've also heard that Ethics is a tough one.
Sigh.

Today was another busy day. In the morning I got my hair both highlighted red and cut -- a two hour affair. My mom picked me up afterwards and we headed to Walgreens because it's the only place that carries Amosan anymore, and I need it because I have a killer canker sore. I also picked up a new thing of vitamins.
From there we went to Thai Chili, a restaurant in the place that was originally Kenko's, then Thaiphoon, then Chef's Domain. It's a great restaurant, but it's never full and I'm so afraid that it'll go out of business while I'm at Rhodes. *pout* Anyhoo, I had the Phad See Ew with chicken there. Most delicious. ^-^
After that we went home to fetch the grocery list and my miscellaneous supply list, then headed to Sav-a-Center (Albertson's, Albertson's...wherefore art thou, Albertson's?). After getting all the stuff we needed, we went home again and unloaded everything and put it away. And then I took a long nap.

Exodus 2:1-5
I've decided that it's about time I started updating this journal more regularly. I did pay two dollars to keep it.
On Sunday, August 22nd, I leave to go back to Rhodes College. Therefore, the current week will be quite hectic. I helped my best friend, "first Sarah," move into her dorm at SLU yesterday. It was a tiny bit frustrating because I like to have my days mapped out, and Sarah is the type to do things spontaneously. I don't mind it too terribly much, though. It was kinda fun heading in all directions to get her moved in. ^-^
Today was spent first at Bed, Bath & Beyond purchasing a few things for my dorm at Rhodes. I got two tupperware-ish things to hold various teas, sugar packets, and hot chocolate mixes. In addition, I got a cool pot thing that boils water -- I'd been looking around for one of these things, because I drink a LOT of tea and it's frustrating to have to microwave water, because it makes the added sugar all foamy (leftover radiation?). The heating element is not open and it has an automatic shut-off, so it's dorm-friendly. I also got a rather powerful DustBuster because although my roommate Therese has a small vacuum cleaner, it tends to dislike normal human hair sheddings and chokes on them. I figured a DustBuster could help with the load. I got a new alarm clock with battery back-up, since my current one didn't have battery back-up. Which is bad since Memphis is known for power outages. And lastly, I got two little tray-like things to put in my desk drawer for stuff likes pens, paper clips, and Post-It notes.
After that excursion, my mom and I went to Little Tokyo for lunch -- much deliciousness. ^-^ Immediately following, we went to Home Depot because I was also searching for a small throw rug and was unable to find one at B, B & B. After about an hour or two of searching the abysmal recesses of Home Depot's temporary flooring department, we found a nice one that incorporates my light purple with Therese's light blue. That makes me happy.
Then we went to Joe's Shoestore to get socks for Margee. Which is a really anti-climactic way to end the day.

Exodus 1:1-5
[EDIT: This entry used to be titled Genesis 6:1-5. I realized the current title was more appropriate and changed it thusly.]
I think....no, I know Puppy misunderstood me. Let me start at the beginning. He visited me at my home late June and totally snarked up, left earlier than he was supposed to, telling me that he wanted to break up with me. Then he told me that he didn't really mean it, that he wants to stay with me. But my parents were so put off by him that they really don't like him much.... Which basically means he and I would have our hands tied until I'm out of college and completely independent.
And maybe it's just because I'm in college, but...I don't want to miss out on dating. So I thought Puppy and I put ourselves on hiatus. But apparently he thought otherwise, because he somehow tracked down the guy I'm currently interested in dating ("Aladdin-Jesus")'s blog and got mad at me for being interested in dating him. I'm so tired of Puppy treating me like a yo-yo. If he and I ever decide to pursue a true romantic relationship, it's just gonna have to wait until after college. *sigh*
I think I may have made him understand now. I think he understands that I want the freedom to date other people.... Right now he seems okay with it. Let's hope it stays that way, otherwise there's no de-hiatus-ing with him.
In other, less stressful news, I really like Aladdin-Jesus. He's a very, very nice guy and I'd really like to get to know him better. ^-^ The problem comes in that I leave for school soon. But we'll have fun whilst we can. And hopefully I can have a sane relationship with him. Most of the male relationships I've had, romantic and friendly, have been very rocky and insane. But Aladdin-Jesus seems like a very sane guy, so hopefully things will stay sane. ^-^ Because I definitely don't want to be treated like a yo-yo again....
Aladdin-Jesus and I are just getting to know each other, but I really enjoy his company. It's not a true romantic relationship at this point. Maybe it won't be, maybe it will. I'm just gonna go with the flow and see where it leads me. Hopefully to happiness. ^-^

Grrrr, Puppy is still in silent mode. I really want to know why he's so nonresponsive, but I just don't have the energy to pursue the lengthy conversation that is sure to follow. I really wish he would just say upfront what's bothering him. Something has to be bothering him....
