quoted

I want people to know that almost everything that concerns them in their daily lives is of no consequence whatsoever. Nothing and nobody is really important, so people, realizing that, should get on with their lives, go mad, take their clothes off, jump in the canal, jump into one of those supermarket trolleys, race ‘round the supermarket and steal Mars bars and, y’know, kiss kittens and sit on the back of bread vans. Whatever makes people happy they should just do it, ‘cos time is a mere scratch and life is nothing.
-morrissey

a thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.

“Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.” -Jack Kerouac

“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing.”

-Eve Ensler

I love love love these prints. UK-based Aardvark makes let­ter­press broad­sides using tra­di­tional wood and metal type. Their shop is stocked with with vintage-inspired prints.

This bottom one is my favorite, and my new personal manifesto. I may buy it, its £25

engagements

My cousin Nathan and his beautiful fiance Marianna just got there engagements done, aren't these pictures so adorable. I love everything about them! the dress, the hair, the nails. the shoes, the cokes, the hat. perf.

Nathan is one of the funniest people I know, and I would not be as cultured as I am today if it wasn't for him exposing me at a young age to such things as The Tick, MST3000, and Pogs. I am so happy for him and Marianna and can't wait for her to be part of the family. (I just hope she is mentally prepared to deal with our dysfunctional tendencies)

all alone.

I achieved a new level of boredom and narcissism at work today, I was the only one there for quite some time with absolutely nothing to do so I turned it into a photo shoot.

Luckily Tay came and saved me, or else who knows what I would have resorted to to prevent my boredom. It could have gotten ugly fast.

Wingers

Taylor and I eat at wingers at least once a week, its more than a little embarrassing because were on a first name basis with a lot of the servers, like how really old people are at Dennys. The only explanation I have for this is that there is a top secret mixture of heroine and cocaine in there 'freakin amazing sauce' and the government is testing it on unsuspecting wing loving Americans. That and the fact that you get free unlimited popcorn. Which is my favorite food... My dad used to say "Katie one can not live on popcorn and quesadillas" luckily I no longer live under his tyrannical reign and have successfully proven that one can indeed live on popcorn and quesadillas.

this is my special sexy face I only bring out on special occasions.

Taylor doesn't like popcorn so I pregamed my meal with an entire bowl of popcorn, sometimes if im feeling it I eat two bowls. Don't judge me.



Taylor's personal vice is ranch. I wouldn't be surprised if he drank it.


I was planning on photographing the delish cookie zookie we had for desert which is a warm fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookie covered in ice cream and fudge, but unfortunately I devoured it before I remembered I was documenting our meal. In fact just like the illusive big foot, or mythical chupacabra I doubt this desert has ever been captured on film.

P.S. Wingers is not paying me for this, although they should, because im pretty sure you want a cookie zookie right about now.

p.p.s. I don't know why we look like zombies in these pictures, probably due to the radio active chemicals the government is giving to us.

cruel world why?

Why all the blogging today you may ask?
Because I am sick and dying of dysentery or cancer or cholera or something of the sort, but healthy enough to be bored out of my mind.

(Oregon trail: remember that game, yea it was awesome... because you got to play it in school. too bad its happening to me in real life.)

Luckily I have a sweet loving man to care for me, is he making me soup and lovingly giving me a sponge bath (creepy)? No he is playing halo, but I am not playing halo because he is playing with Nate and when they play together they get supper competitive, so I am not invited... but some good things do come from this:

1) Taylor is my best friend so no matter what were doing I im having a great time

2) He yells out things while playing that usually unnoticed by him sound well... freaky

Sexual Innuendos Taylor has yelled* while playing halo: (*my roommates are undoubtedly concerned)

-holly shit he was in the shower behind me (personal favorite)

-oh no the other ones on top of me

-hes ramming us from behind

-hes cumming* up the back side (*probably meant coming, but who knows with a sentence like that)

-they are pounding us


3) Hes getting closer and closer to the skull helmet (top secret no one has, completely creepy helmet) which I have to admit is pretty bad ass

the intimidation factor of this thing is through the roof



P.S. Conversation I am literally having right now:

Tay: I'm hungry

Me: what do you want to eat?

Tay: can I cover you with hundred dollar bills and pleasure you?

Me: is that rhetorical? what does that have to do with being hungry?

Tay: oh yea... I'm really hungry. Can we go get something to eat.

(I'm just as confused as you are)

Private Excerpts from the Personal Cell Phone of Katherine:

ME: gooooood mooooorning provo. Its a beautiful day out there today, with forecasts of Taylor acing his math test, and getting a big kiss from Katie. In unrelated news the power at Gianni International Salon and Spa is out so Katie is sitting alone in the darkness... Masturbating.

ME: Ugh Oh umm.. Felipe our tech just wrote that on the teleprompter. I apologize Provo.

TAY: lol your such a dork. I love it!

TAY: I think I got every question correct on my test

ME: As foretasted Taylor Raped the shit out of his test... FELIPE damn it... " Raped the shit" are you kidding me? someone get him out of here.

Taylor: has the power come back on yet?



Do you see how Taylor refused to play along, how am I supposed to hone my creative genius, if hes always trying to kill my monologues and crush my visionary spirit?

"Get Ready to Get wasted"

I recently acquired Netflix (which might I say is the best freakin thing ever) so I have had the opportunity to watch lots of movies that I normally would not pick out. I have been watching this British TV show called Skins which is very raunchy and sexual which I enjoy. But last night Taylor was in-charge of picking out a scary movie and he picked Shrooms which was so awful it was awesome we were laughing so hard by the end of it, which honestly we could have predicted with this description:

"A hallucinogenic trip turns into reality -- or does it? -- when a group of adventurous American college kids on holiday in rural Ireland munch some magic mushrooms and find themselves plagued by nightmarish visions of death. But are they really being stalked and killed, or is it all just drug-induced paranoia?"



Taylor quotes of the day: "get off my ass Optimums Prime"
"I like you in my ear" (to Nate on the phone)

ps: we went and got Taylor's Halloween costume today hes going to be a pot head, literally, its like a hat covered in pot leaves. I told him it didn't count as dressing up because he was a pot head everyday, but he wouldn't listen to me. per usual.
