Come Waste Your Millions Here

Hey guys

Today started off to be a fairly ordinary day. I was let out of class early, which is always a pleasant treat, and was able to get in a bit of study time before I joined forces with Stephanie. She successfully distracted me for the remainder of the day and I am very okay with that. We went over to our home away from home: Starbucks. They were playing the funkiest music up in that joint. I was digging it, for sure, but it made me a tad sleepy (that and the fact that instead of getting a cup o’ caffeine, I went with some H20). Stephanie and I listened to some awesome music, as well. Manchester Orchestra is beautiful. Also, Stephanie introduced me to this WONDERFUL song, by Ra Ra Riot, called Boy. So basically, I loved it. It made my own "abilities" seem so inferior. Stephanie has such great taste in music. It warms my heart. =)

Taylor, one of my best friends was “ill” and therefore unable to attend a senior class camping trip this week. Naturally, Stephanie and I had to kidnap her and bring her with us to Starbucks. It only made sense, right?! Crystal, another friend of mine, was also there, but had to go to class and left us early on. We mainly just lounged about, assisted Stephanie in finishing an English paper she was working on, and listened to that super funky music. It was extremely chill until we met up with my bestest friend ever, whom I haven’t seen in ages! Cassidy was nice enough to purchase pretzels for us. Woot!

I just love a day full of friends and food. Even if we aren’t necessarily doing anything, it’s all good with these kids. Funky music is nice too.

-Sorry this post was so long and uneventful. Bleh. Here's some random pictures from weheartit.com that all the kids are talking about these days-

Come To Me, I’m Gonna Set You Free

Greetings.

So, apparently Fridays are supposed to be full of lists and things that fill one’s heart with joy and happiness. However, I was informed by my loverly friend (Stephanie) that my first blog did not meet the unsaid criteria of ‘the first blog’ (Intro, about me, etc). In light of this, I thought I would just be slightly different and post a list of random facts about myself. This will be a replacement for the “Things I Love about Fridays” list – or whatever it is – and hopefully make up for my previous error. Sound good? Super.

List of Random Facts about Myself:

1. I’m quite indecisive, in general

2. One of my all-time-favorite 80’s bands is Styx. I mean, c’mon, you can’t go wrong there. Am I right?

3. I cannot whistle very well…at all

4. I don’t like dipping grilled cheese in ketchup, even though the rest of the planet seems to enjoy the combination

5. I can kind of, sort of play guitar

6. 80’s movies with John Cusack are awesome.

7. I’ve only ever driven Honda Accords (just two of them). This was not on purpose, more happenstance, but I’m okay with it

8. My most favorite season happens to be Fall, which weather-wise, refuses to grace us with its presence, here in Chattanooga

9. I pretty much love anything involving Ben Gibbard. He is so talented!

10. When people wear red and green together, it makes me think of Christmas. I try to avoid it unless it is season appropriate, but that’s just me

Well kids, now you know some little tidbits about me. Feel free to tune in next time. Have a swell weekend.

The Sound of Silence

"Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you

But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed
In the wells of silence..."

Hello.




So, I'm Katelyn,

You have somehow stumbled onto my blog. Welcome.

I hope to keep this up on a fairly regular basis, but we shall see. College keeps me fairly busy (that's kind of a no-brainer, though). Also, I'm quite terribly boring. No...really, I am. I apologize in advance.

So, today happened to be quite the adventurous day. I went to school (boring), but then met up with some friends at China Kitchen. There were a bunch of us: Stephanie, Chris - the cousin - Taylor, Danny, Stella, and my Aunt Janice - Chris' mother, in case you were wondering. Some other kids joined a bit later, but needless to say, our table was pretty full....of awesomeness. =) I received a free meal, compliments of my wonderful aunt, which always makes for a good day. Many, and when I say many, I mean MANY!!!! high-fives were exchanged during this delicious meal. My hand still stings. These kids are hilarious.

We all had class and had to go our separate ways, but regrouped afterwards and I drove everyone to Starbucks. (Just a warning, many of my adventures will have to do with Starbucks. Again...I'm quite boring.) We blasted some sick tunes, including some Cold War Kids, Boston, Tokyo Police Club and few others and topped off our trip with a few Double Rainbows with Clouds from our favorite coffee establishment. Danny was kind enough to buy me one. Wow, I just realized that I've gotten a fair amount of free stuff today. Awesome. =)

Friends, music, food, and coffee make the world go round. So basically, today was a good day.

Thanks for reading, see you next time...hopefully. Peace out.
