I am in KOOOORRRREEEEEAAAAA...i've been wanting to post my plans to go to korea for a while now, but i've been surprising erin so it had to be sssshhh....
So i got in on thursday night after a LOOOONGG trip (i am using caps and multiple letters for a lot of words, i am very excited) to san fran, a 6 hour lay over and then a 12 hour plane trip. i watched 5 movies on the plane!!!
bride wars
the reader
last chance harvey
yes man, and
gran torino.
they were all very satisifying and time passing. so i got into seoul at about 530 thursday night (you lose a day) and waited for meredith who was supposed to be at my gate waiting for me. there was a little korean man with a sign that said meredith l. jaeger and kaeleen a. hylton. so i went to him and mere wasn't there. 30 minutes later i was FREAKING out. i was for sure she missed her plane because we loud speakered her but nothing. so we called cody and his director, and long story short, we found her. we got on a bus and got to Anseong at about 10....we ate some dumplings and went to bed...i was very very jet lagged. mere and i had both been up for about 35 hours. yikes.
on friday we mostly slept... it was so nice..then when cody and brad got off work they took us to dinner at a traditional place, it was pretty amazing. i even ate kimchi and liked it!!!
saturday we were drooling in anticipation for erin's arrival. she came at 2:30 and we couldn't wait for her to come!!!! so we were having a bbq outside so mere waited outside for her and i waited in the bedroom. when she got there mere said, come put your stuff away in this bedroom, and she opened the door and i was sitting on the bed...it was sooo fun!!!!!! she was screaming (well we all were) and she just made it so much of a better surprise.
so we had the bbq with a bunch of Chungju peeps and then we went out downtown and sunday we all just kinda relaxed and went and played basketball (i watched of course). today mere and i are going sunbathing and shopping. who knows whats next.
It is what it is

the paradox of me.
lately, i've been realizing how polar opposite i am from myself. now take a minute and think about this....
you see, that song "hot and cold" is the story of my life. One minute I am hot about something and one minute i'm not. I think one way, act another. One minute I feel like a very established student with professional attitudes, and the other I'm this punk ass rebellion trying to hang around as many losers as I can (no offense to my loser friends...nothing but love)...
Another way this has come up in my life is through this blog. You see, one of my very very best friends is Allison. like you freaks didn't know that :)...we've been friends for a LONG time, and she might know me better than anyone!...but I have this ridiculous tendency to censor myself from her. She's just so good and nice and I don't want her to have to have a friend who curses and tries to smoke cigarettes (tries mind you, and fails completely because they're disgusting) and who kisses lots of boys and gets drunk and makes bad decisions. She doesn't deserve to deal with a friend like that. SOOOO, i don't tell her those things. I shelter the poor girl....
on a side note, I'm not always this "bad" person. a lot of the time i'm a good girl and i know why I need to be a good girl and I have a good relationship with God. Granted right now I'm pretty mad at him so its not like we kick it a bunch, but you know, its still there. It could not be but it is so whatever.
i forget where i was going with this.
oh ya, so i screen things from allison, much like i would from my mom. you should feel special allison. heres the twist, alli's mom suscribed to my blog. When i saw that I had a mild panic attack. Because well, I said fuck in two blogs and hell and other mean things like wanting to key a car (not that i would do it but its the thought that counts) and I was like "kathy's going to hate me and never let me hang out with allison again)... and so i called allison and told her to apologize to me....and then kathy unsuscribed ..........and i felt like a piece of shit again!!!
you see, i should feel special that someone cares enough about me to suscribe to my blog so they can read about my life. i should love that my friend's MOM is interested in my story. and what do i do, push her away because i don't want to be judged. i don't want to feel bad.
um....story of my LIFE.
for instance, I push people away instantly so that they won't push me away later. I have this friend who I've been hanging out with and he was like "stop trying to make me hate you, its not going to work" i thought that was interesting...what did i do to make him hate me?
i yelled at him a lot.
i constantly tried to tell him the bad things about me.
i'd make up these elaborate plans to hurt him and then tell him.
how messed up is that?
its because i think i have split personalitites. one minute i'm this, the next i'm that. i think thats wierd. and basically, kathy....read my blog. get to know the real me. thanks for wanting to.

its like when you are so excited to go to the beach, but deep down you still know theres going to be annoying sand in your shoes when you leave.
so im in a new house...thats pretty exciting. its 40 blocks in from britt's old house, still on lincoln and i absolutely love it...not so much the actual house but the location and the fact that its partially MY house, i'm not just an extended guest. thats the absolute worse. i still live with brittany and now with her best friend from high school erin who is really cool and relaxed, we get along quite well...
school is over for the semester but im not sure if i'm going back. you see, i didn't enjoy it that much last semester and i questioned its relevance often. to make matters worse, i got this email from the school's director saying "you're semester performance has raised concerns" and "we'd like to talk about your future here at LC" are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!? so far i've gotten an A and a B and those were my two worse classes, so i'm not sure what the hell they are talking about. it is so annoying and i'm pretty much over it. LC is NOT UP. end of story. everytime I email a professor it takes days to get a reply back, if i ever even get one! at UP i'd have a reply in minutes (i MAY be exaggerating but not really)....and the classes were relevant to the major, and they cared about me and my performance, unlike LC.
ugh. i don't want to be kicked out of school lol.
i miss you guys who aren't in america. a lot. come home please. thanks. we have an extra bedroom. which can serve as a great guest bedroom while you all live at home and come and visit portland every weekend AND when you're ready to move back it can serve as a room room. yep. i need you to come back. thanks. and that goes for all of you. don't think you aren't included because you are.
eloise sometimes sits on command. isn't that cool....i think so.
i've been pretty sad lately. i really miss my mom, gramma and uncle bruce. its funny because i wasn't really speaking to my gramma which makes this process worse, and i wish i would have gotten on better terms with her and bruce, but things just happen the way they happen don't they. no one would believe that i've lost 3 people in 7 months. so wierd. pretty horrible too. sometimes i just want to curl up in a ball and let myself unravel but i feel like if i unravel i'll never be able to put the pieces back together. like humpty dumpty. i'd be broken.
but i'm not broken, just numb. numb to school, numb to work. i have realized that i take the path to least resistance in everything i do now. i never used to be like that. i just don't want difficult. period.
i want rebellion. i've always kinda been like that, but that innate temptation is amplified. watch out. i might key your car or egg your house.
