Charlie and Spike are two kittens with myotonia congenita, otherwise known as 'fainting goat' syndrome. at the slightest sound, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal. This condition has hardly ever before been diagnosed in a cat, is rarely found in dogs and is more common in goats. The kittens are able to walk, but they cannot run or jump. aside from this they are normal. sad to report that the black and white kitten (spike) died on 27th october from respiratory failure.

I didn't know this happened so often!!

"Teacher says, every time an adorable cat faints a YouTube user gets fired from their job for spending too much time watching said adorable cats faint."

This is all you need to know in life.

What? People making out (literal translation) under a cardboard box is awkward? Well I hope your new subscription to Single Living Magazine will help open your eyes to see the truth about situations like these. You can thank me later. I only paid an arm and a leg to subscribe you to that magazine...but i'm not complaining here. I trust that you will learn many things about how to ride solo and the do's and don'ts of livin' single.

I talked to one of my favorite people tonight. He's short, has glasses, blonde hair....guess who. That was great.

It's a wind storm out there today. I can hear the wind blowing ferociously outside. I literally feel like I'm in a tornado. Maybe I actually am. I brought my umbrella to school today but I couldn't use it because it was so windy. I was afraid of the whole "inside-out umbrella" thing happening.

This will be me tonight after the tornado destroys both hearth and home. Well, minus the kitten it will be me.

Today I got stopped 3 times asking if I "had a minute for gay rights". A) is it really necessary to position gay rights activists at BOTH ends of the bridge. Either way, when one crosses the bridge, they will have to walk past them on one end. B) I find it hard to believe you can cover everything about gay rights in a minute. I should have timed them. C) even if I did have a minute, I don't think we would get anywhere because they would be more unwilling to give up their standpoints to stand for a minute in mine. Although, to their credit, I don't really know what I would say or where I stand. 

Also, I found this great link:

I especially like the Hesitator II and the Portal

And here's some more useful information:

My toes are cold so imma go get some socks. Better get them before the tornado blows away all my clothes. 

I'm trying to think of a funny story that has recently happened, but none really come to mind. Is my life just going downhill? Am I just a boring person?

 Anywho...this is what I got in the mail yesterday. Tobias- a Catholic Single Life magazine.  It was addressed to me and put in my box.  Now the only question is- how did it get here?? Hmmm...did you specifically order it for me? Did it come free with my CatholicMatch registration? I don't know. All I know is that it is a strange magazine- I mean- just look at the cover! Can you say awkward?? I can. What are these two doing under the box. I have recently learned from Running with Scissors that you never really know what people will do behind closed doors...or cardboard boxes for that matter.  Man, this book is gettin' graphic! I almost don't feel comfortable reading it.  I've never read a graphic novel and I don't know if I can handle much more. To give you just a little baby clue- explicity gay sex- both male and female. Ugh. Gross. I keep reading it, though because it is really interesting and very sad.  This kid went through shit! Well I'm about halfway done, Kitty, so I'll mail it to you soon. 
As for now, I am extremely sleepy. I still have 4 more things to do tonight, though.  I have a group meeting, Anica's b-day party, a wedding planning meeting and then Clare's b-day party.  Can't wait for the Malibu  and pineapple juice and pumpkin pie. 

Not trying to stick with the gay theme, but I just learned a new Mexican word from the article I had to read for class:
Vestidas-transgender sex workers

Although, I thought Vestido had something to do with dress...which would kind of make sense...

Antoine Dodson is Gay :-O

Who would've thunk?

Kitty,
i just found a new dangerously addictive category of you-tube videos: Babies.

Here's a couple good ones that will hopefully make you smile:

Also, Kitty, I found some adjectives for you:
upbeat, lively and playful. I still can't think of the perfect word but I shall ponder it more. It has something to do with finding the joy in situations....whatever word describes that...I'll think of it hopefully sometime soon.

I think the Kitty below is having either a siezure or is experiencing the rapture. 

Sorry

Sorry..but I don't know IT....?? huh? please expand.

It

IT HAS BEGUN. 




...ya know....IT

Dear Kitty,

I'm in one of those moods where I feel like my life is shit. Granted, there is a very likely reason to this madness as mother nature is about to grant me a gift.  She has monthly surprise parties for me and usually I enjoy surprises, but these are often pretty messy parties and then she leaves me with the clean-up.  Okay- ew. I'm sorry that I went into that much detail. 

Top o' the Mornin to ya

Well der, Top o' the Mornin' to ya Kit. Three in the morn and ye can't sleep Kit?
I don't have much time now, but here's a picture to brighten up yer day.

ERIN GO BRAUGH!

It is 3 o'clock in the effing morning and I can't sleep

Well, I just finished Nineteen Minutes. Like I said before, I kind of called the 'surprise ending' so...that's neat and unsurprising...except for the whole suicide part...didn't see that one coming- especially by a sock.  If I were gonna kill myself in prison, I would not wanna go 'death by sock.'  The taste would be awful. A bit of irony, doncha think? 
Well, after checking Facebook, CatholicMatch (ugh- I'll delete it soon.) and now posting a blogette, I shall return to my attempts of falling into a deep slumber, that is until I have to have breakfast with the Superintendent of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of KCK...at 8:30 in the morn; EEK! Wish me luck, Kitty.

In case you were wondering:

Halloween is up and coming

I was thinking about it and I don't know how I would create a rubric based on peoples responses. I mean I could, but how would the point system go? Would the be awarded higher points for not reacting to my racial slur or for making a scene out of it? What do you think, Kit? Should people be rewarded for being racially color blind or for their lack or ethnocentrism? Something to think on...

So I would like to see this man that you think is oh so attractive...on a comparable rubric, would he score high pointage on the 'hot black guy' rubric?  Will you be working while Clare and I visiting? I hope so, so that we can see him then. I would definately add to your "Beer Fund"...except that I don't like beer...well actually I think that I am slowly acquiring a taste for it. The more I try it, the more I don't want to kill myself. Actually, this past weekend, Doro, Teresa, Rachel Ruhl and Melissa Keating were having a drink in my room and Melissa had this raspberry beer that tasted nothing like beer, but rather tasted like a little slice of heaven- raspberry heaven. It was delicious!  I think it's imported and so it may be a bit harder to find, but I will find it one day.  Also, I decided that I don't like the taste of alcohol (hard liquors) in general unless they don't taste like alcohol- like in gummy bear shots or a long island iced tea for example.  Gosh, I am craving one now that I am thinking of it.  Yum. 

Well anyway, people around me have started thinking about Halloween and I felt kind of left out, so I thought that I should start thinking of thinking of it possibly, maybe sometime soon.  Well that day came today when in the cafe, people were throwing around ideas.  Laura G'Sell is going to be Popeye and she doesn't have an Olive to compliment her, so I thought that may be an idea. See picture below. I don't know if I could pull off her black bob...



So then I randomly thought of the YipYips from Sesame Street. See picture below. Also check out these links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_trSIBCgF0  and  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SB0lM8xR1s.  Easy enough to make and no one would even know it was me. I need someone to do it with me, though... maybe Nikki will do it...I'll ask. Actually, I haven't dressed up for Halloween in a few years, so why not start it up again in my senior year of college!  Got any better ideas? Through them my way, Kitty.


Well, unfortunately there isn't a lot going on, unless you count me laying in my bed for almost 2 days straight. On the upside, I am almost finished with my book: Jodi Piccoult's Nineteen Minutes. I hear there is a surprise ending and I have my guesses, but we'll see. I like her style of writing, but she's definately a downer.  This book is all about a school shooting in which the main character killed 10 people and wounded like 15 or so more. Ouch. I just can't relate to wanting to rampage through my school and kill as many people as I could.  Were you ever bullied in high school?  The main character, Peter, was and that's what led him to "shoot 'em up" if you will. I was never really bullied, but I was thinking about it today while I was reading and I remember this one time that a guy made me cry in Theology class. His name was Brian Battaglia. I don't remember what we were arguing about, but he wouldn't even let me speak and kept taunting me by saying, "What are you gonna cry? Baby, you gonna cry? Crybaby!" Ugh. I still get all worked up even thinking about it.  That was freshman year of HS. Sophomore year of college I was at my brother's apartment hanging out when some of their neighbors came up and low and behold, Brian Battaglia walks in along with Gene Romero (who was nice- we had PE together my Freshman year of HS).  Even though it had been at least 4 years since the incident, I was still pissed when I saw him.  I tried to be nice, but it was rough.

This would happen to him

LMAO!

Emo kittyzzz...they are begging for pity

Better pray to St. Gertrude for an intervention here

R.I.P.

Yeah, people who smoke die all the time, from lung cancer of course (not my cancer, not my problem; head scarves rule!), but it's not every day a smoking chimp dies:

Saint Gertrude of Nivelles Pray for us!

St. Gertrude: Patron saint of cats and those who love cats.

"YE SHALL NOT POSSESS ANY BEAST, MY DEAR SISTERS, SAVE ONLY A CAT"
    ~St. Gertrude

I did a bit of research about her and could not find the real reason that she is the patroness of cats...hmmm...
With an educated guess, I would venture to say that she prayed for souls in Purgatory a lot, which are symbolized by mice in tradition.  Cats have some relation to mice...so there! Cats will chase the souls out of Purgatory!

In other news, it is just about 4:30am and I haven't started to study for my Philosophy of Ed midterm which is at 10:50...and I have a 9:25 physical fitness class to top it off! YAY! I am just so bad at procrastination. 

Also,

I found this great photomontage of the Clinton family:

Here's a thought

I was just thinking, Hillary Clinton and Martha Stewart look strikingly similar, no?

Taekwondo

I began taking Tae Kwon Do lessons for free here on campus from a couple of good friends who just happen to be black belts in the art- 2nd degree! So far I have learned many things, the most noteworthy being the infamous roundhouse kick that Walker Texas Ranger is noted for.  On thing that is very important in the art is the 'Kiop' or the 'yell.' As you may have seen in many Asian foreign films that you and Clare have seen, the ninjas have to yell. This helps one to release hits with maximum strength.  So, moral of the story, KIOP!!!

BC Promo Video

So, today around 12noon, I received a call from Sandy in the student life office. Sandy is one of those women who smiles at every student even on days when she doesn't really want to.  She spoke with a tone that brought me back to the good ol' days of tea and crumpets with the Queen- the Queen of the Regal Tones, of course, and in our conversation, we spoke briefly of 'how we were,' not that either of us truely paid any notice to the answer of the other's question. What does 'good' or 'well' mean in these days anyway?- the days of chai and Ritz, with whom we have no one to share.   Sandy didn't offer me any beverage or snack to share with her, but rather directed me to a man. This man was Tom.  'Tom' is the only thing I knew about this man who I came into contact with over a five minute span of discussion.  Rather, he discovered numerous facts about me and my relation to Benedictine College- like stars across the sky all because of my Hispanic descent. 

Dear Kitty,

Dear Kitty,
I am addicted to South Park. I can't write much now as Season 7 Episode 3: "Toilet Paper" is calling my name.....the end.
