This blogging/internet community is a very strange one indeed. If you had told me when I was in middle school, and the internet was something I had hear of but never experienced, that someday I would be broadcasting my life online for people across the world to read, I would have thought you were crazy. I wouldn't even let my best friend read my diary! And yet here I am, on the internet,

Last night started out with promise of an adventurous night out. Dinner with my love and two of his friends, dressed up fancy, with good conversation. Plans to ring in the new year at a bar Weez frequents often. After dinner brought a change of plans, however, and 2009 found me all dressed up with nowhere to go. Weezle and I went to the apartment of his friend and watched vh1 until it was

The end of the year is here, and tomorrow a new chapter begins. I have so much hope for this next year. There is much to look forward to. A new president, one who shares my views and my hope for this country. I'm moving back home to prepare for starting out on my own in a couple of months. And I'm ringing in the New Year in Nashville, with someone I love.There are scary things, too. My

I hate packing for vacations. I always feel like I'm bringing too much. Or like I'm not packing in the best possible way. This whole thing where the laptop has to go through in it's own bin? Stresses me out. Or the little baggie thing? For all your liquids and gels? Bah.Because I don't do the checking of luggage. I'm always afraid I'm not gonna get my shit back at the other end. Lol,

But on a more upbeat note: look! New shoes.Yeah. I'm still bummed.Laini's Mom 3 gave her a crap-ton of Coach. I am insanely jealous of her three Coach wallets, two of which are big enough to hold a checkbook. I want a new Coach wallet. My little pink one is too small.Okay. I'm done here.

So I had this minor speeding ticket, and I couldn't afford to pay it right away. It was sent to collections, and my license was suspended.Then I got a job, and I paid my ticket. Or so I thought. Apparently, I didn't pay it all. I went to the DOL and renewed my license, paying a $25 fee for a new license, and $75 to unsuspend myself. I wrote a check for $100 on October 7th, I believe. Or the

Lol, overshare?I'm doing laundry so that I can pack for Nashville tomorrow night. I leave on Tuesday afternoon, from work. I can not wait.My brother got me these really cute packing checklists from Urban Outfitters, and they totally mesh with my crazy OCD. I love how I am so anal that I highlight the things I want to pack, and then check them off as I put them in the suitcase. I'm crazy.And

Yes. Love. I know the real meaning of Christmas is being with family, and celebrating Christ's birth. But oh man.... This is sexy stuff.We're still here.

Man, aren't the holidays exhausting? I finished my final Christmas present this afternoon, right before I left for my mom's for Christmas Eve. Being the product of a broken home means that my family does Christmas presents from each other at my mom's house Christmas Eve. (Although, come to think of it, even when my parents were together we did family presents on Christmas Eve. And hell, Santa

Is it overly optimistic that I keep peaking out the front window to check out the snow, and notice that our icicles are melting considerably? Or, you know, just neurotic? And you know, I know. Sure. It's a whopping two whole degrees above freezing right now, but yeah, it's supposed to be 29 degrees tonight. This will not improve my morning commute. I get that. But still. The damn icicles

Okay, Winter. You win. I've resigned myself to just loving this snow for what it is, and relaxing about everything else. If I can't get to work tomorrow? Then I can't get to work tomorrow. I'll survive, and so will they.It helps, I think, that I'm at my own house, and I've done laundry and cleaned up, so I have nothing to do except sit back, relax, and enjoy this winter snowstorm.This

I made it home. The roads actually weren't that bad. I mean, it's starting to snow again, and apparently we're supposed to get 5-8 inches tonight, but it was pretty easy to get home. I went to the grocery store because I started my period, and the lines went from the front of the store, all the way down the aisles, to the back! Crazy.... Stupid period! :PNow that I am home I'm doing lots of

One of the best ways for dealing with my condition is that when I'm feeling down I keep busy. When I'm feeling anxious, I keep busy. This is how I keep from going crazy.I feel trapped. I'm trapped at my mom's house, far enough away from my own house to make me worry and wonder when I will be able to comfortably drive back. If I'm bored I can't just drive to Laini's house, or run out to Target

Please forgive my harsh words. It's been a trying week.That is what we are dealing with. My brother, who is the most confident inclement weather driver I know, (and also a Marine, so he's basically a superhero) plastered my mom's car around a tree down on Ruston Way at 8:40ish this morning. I had to drive home from Auburn to St. Joe's ER, where he was taken by ambulance. It was actually pretty

Okay. I get it. Winter is coming, let's prove it with snow! Woohoo. Snow is so fun, and cold and pretty. We can make snowmen, put on warm fairisle sweaters and drink hot cocoa. It will be grand.Except it's not. It's icy and dangerous and mean to me and my car. It causes me to drive into a ditch on the Olympic Peninsula. Were it not for those teenage angels, I might still be stuck on 101

So this weekend I went to Sequim to do some work at one of our other buildings, and then I went on this "booze cruise"/Christmas light bus tour. We had a fantastic dinner at the senior center in Port Angeles, and then drove around looking at lights, with a couple of alcohol stops. I had three glasses of wine, a cup full of hot apple cider and rum, a taste of eggnog (so. ew.), and two cups of

I want it to be made perfectly clear that I love my job. I do. I enjoy getting dressed up in my suits and going into work every day. I have business cards, and an office, and I get to have meetings, and make a difference. It's like playing grown up.But sometimes I wish I had the resources available to not work. Or to only work part time. Or maybe run a cute little business that I could pay

So Kaleb decided he wanted to sing some Christmas Carols tonight. As you can see below, it was pretty flipping weird. I'm tired. I wish that I lived closer to work. Except I don't want to live in the city where I work.I wish I worked closer to home.So after I get back from Nashville at the beginning of the year my plan is to move back in with my mom for a couple of months.

Today Ryan and Laini met me at my mom's house, and they brought Miss Lilli with them. Lilli noticed a box of candy canes, and was on it! Later, after heading to the high school to buy our Christmas trees, Lilli fell asleep in her car seat. She was not, however, too tired to enjoy some yummy chicken nuggets! It was SO funny. And we wouldn't want to forget Mr. Kaleb! Silly boy!We're

Today was really weird. Parts were really not great at all. Other parts were quite good. The bad parts? My Good to Go account was not taking money out of my bank account when I was making online payments. I have a total of 53 toll violations. All but 18 of them have gone to collections already. Meh. I have two court dates, one in January and one in March, for the remaining 18. Bah.Nini

So much has been going on. I don't know how to put it all into words. I'm not really sure that I want to.Work has been really busy this week. The other social worker is training to fill in for someone else, so it's been just me in the department. This means instead of creating a to do list and finishing it every day, I have a list that grows and grows, without much actually getting

Laini and I went to Shari's, and my ex boyfriend Matt was our server.Matt and I dated at the beginning of my senior year.

Well, the month is over and the drive to post in my blog on a daily basis is no more. I can relax, and just live life, without worrying about documenting it. This is a relief. I know a lot of people who respond to the end of NaBloPoMo by not writing for ages, but that's not me.

I don't get in the middle of other people's relationships. I am happier when my friends are in relationships than out of them. I certainly don't want to be responsible for breaking someone up.I give input, and advice if asked, but that's all. I don't expect people to follow it. Heck, I'm no expert.I don't pretend to be perfect, and I don't think I am above self improvement. I know I am

Instead of protesting something, we chose to raise awareness. Here is Nini and I at the March of Dimes.

When I die I don't want to be cut open. I don't want to be embalmed. I don't want my corpse to last forever, that's silly! I just want to be buried the way I die, quickly. Why drag it out? When I die I want to be buried in my glamorous black dress that reminds me of Donna Reed. I want to be buried in pearls, and my red heels with the peep toe. I want my pretty red coat, in case the

So every year I say some variation of the same thing. I say: "I'm like Nordstrom's, baby! No decorations till after Thanksgiving."Every year I lie. I mean, my house isn't decorated or anything. I haven't pulled out my N Sync and Christina Aguilera Christmas albums yet. But I have decorated my blog. Cause I'm silly like that. :PBut I waited until the day before Thanksgiving, and really?

So the assignment was to recreate a snapshot posted on the website. However, the idea of this month was to get me to be creative and think outside of my norm, and I didn't feel that copying someone's cheeseball snapshot was a way to do that. Instead I copied a different snapshot. I took the picture shown here, and recreated it in my own way with Laini at her mom's house. It turned out good:

My ideal government involves open minds. A leader elected by the public, because I do believe in democracy, although ideally I would like to have more parties than just the two. I hate that only democrats and republicans really stand a chance. Countries in Scandinavia have many more parties than we do. I like that, because I think it eliminates the interparty back biting we see now.My ideal

Tonight? Oh, tonight. Tonight was a dream come true, 18 years in the making. Tonight Angela and I went to the Tacoma Dome to see New Kids on the Block in concert. It was fantastic. I don't have words, because there's too much to say. I do, however, have pictures!We saw this car on our way into the venue. Very exciting.Oh so eagerly awaiting the New Kids. I was bored.

So this assignment was to take (duh) a picture of the sun, and I had been waiting for ever, because where I live you can never see the sun! Finally today I just gave up. This is what the sun looks like in the Pacific Northwest. Read Twilight? She's not lying. All we get is rain.I decided to go ahead and just take the picture today because Laini and I looked up in to the clouds and saw God.

I am ready for November to be over. This nablopomo thing is growing tedious. I didn't finish it last year, because I was sidetracked by a boy. It's important to me to accomplish the goal this year. But man, I am ready to be done.It's especially hard because I decided to get off my butt and do this Learning to Love You More business. I'm ready to stop. I think I love you enough.I get so

So this time the assignment is to spend time with a dying person, not talking, just sitting and concentrating on them, and you, and what you are feeling.The proof is to write my name, their name, the place I visited, and the date and time. I can't do that. It would be illegal.So just know that my name is Katya, their name is their own, it happened at work, and it happened today. It's happening

I'm growing annoyed. I've been supremely emotional for the last couple of weeks, and I am pretty much over it. At this point, I can't really tell if I'm even being rational. Like, I feel a lot more sane. And something will happen that really bothers me, but I can't tell if my frustration is rational or not. I know one person who thinks it's not.I'm not really happy right now. Which I hate,

Create a "cozy" for an object other than a teapot, like your television or fishbowl or your best friend. Use bright colors and let your personality shine through. The "cozy" should draw attention to an object that isn't normally showcased.

One of my best friends, Adina P, was born in Seattle on July 9! We won't be best friends, though, for another 19 years.The movie The Enchanted Journey came out. Eventually my mom would record this off of TV, and my brother Bryan and I would spend much of our childhood watching it over and over. When I was a little girl this movie scared me and made me so sad. Well, until the happy ending, of

So today's assignment was to outline shadows onto a piece of white paper in a grid. I did this. Than I colored them in. Then I went to scan my creation, and the scanner created an individual file out of each shape. I don't feel like doing it again, so I'm just posting the individual shapes. I'm lazy like that. :P

I am completely lame. I spent the day with Laini yesterday, and we had a semi-productive day! I got to her house at around noon thirty, and we settled into the craft room to discuss our respective projects and get set up. We didn't really get anything started, though, before Laini decided that she was hungry, so we ended up heading out to Burger King for sodas and snacks. We shipped Lilli off

Lol, here are the pictures from my camera of the Jason Mraz concert. Enjoy! They are terrible quality, but better than nothing!

okay. Maybe just the first two!Angela and I rode up to Vancouver,BC tonight to see Jason Mraz play at the Vancouver Centre. It was so worth the hours long drive. Let me tell you, Jason Mraz is so sexy and he was just rockin' out onstage dancing. When he sang my song, A Beautiful Mess, I thought I was going to cry. Also, when he brought up his joy about Barack Obama winning the election the whole

KATIE CURRY SLEEPS IN HALF AN HOUR, LATE TO WORKNovember 7, 2008This morning Katie Curry slept in, yet again. Sources close to her say that this may be due to a late night out Thursday. Richard called her on her cell phone at about 5:30 am to wake her up. After hanging up, she promptly fell back asleep. She then proceeded to ignore both her 7:00 and 7:30 am alarms. Her 8:00 alarm went off,

My scar doesn’t photograph very well, but it’s on my left calf. When I was in sixth grade I had a framed New Kids on the Block poster that I stepped on in a moment of passionate distaste for the group that had broken my heart by breaking up. I then gathered up the glass into a paper bag, put it by my bedroom door and forgot about it. Days later, my brother and I got into a fight one morning

I am blessed.I have such a wonderful group of friends, and my family is terrific as well. Sometimes it's easy to forget that stuff. Some things have not come very easily lately, and some relationships are strained. But I have places that I can go and people that I can talk to and they just make things right. They don't even have to try.Bryan always calls me at the most inopportune times, but

So today I voted. Angela came home from the hospital, and we got ready to go. I got all dressed up, and I even wore my new red, white & blue Keds. Look: I'm patriotic!We voted at a church a couple of blocks away from our house. We waited in line for about an hour. I was so nervous, and excited. I did paper voting, which I am more comfortable with anyway. It was so surreal seeing Barack

I stayed home from work today. I'm sick. I don't care to discuss the particulars. Suffice it to say, I needed the day.Lunch was a delish vegetarian chili, with monterey jack cheese on top. So yum. I was going to make some fettuccine alfredo, but I didn't have any butter. I had a whole stick of butter last week, but it seems to have disappeared.Angela is at a skills class at the hospital

My brother, Chris (age 17):My sister Katie tends to spend her time doing a bevy of activities. During the weekday she is some sort of social worker with old people at a death factory, i.e. nursing home. When she gets home I can only assume she eats some sort of food, and then proceeds to watch a movie or one of her several shows online because her roommate is cheap and won’t pay for cable.

I'm watching Catch and Release. I thought I was going to think it was totally lame. It's not. I actually think it's quite cute. I usually don't love the guy who plays the main character in this movie, but his character is really sweet. Even if his name is Fritz.I am currently obsessed with all Life is Good products. I want to lose weight so I can fit their clothes.Weezer took this picture

This is the outfit that I wore when you dropped me off at the airport. You kissed me and then you kissed me and then you kissed me, and with your arms around my waist, told me we’re still here.

This one's a long one, and probably pretty boring. I figured I'd get it out of the way!I was born on October 9, 1982, in San Francisco, CA. My parents were very young, 23 and 25, when they had me. Of my Onnie’s 11 grandchildren, I was the first one born locally. I only lived in San Francisco for the first couple of months of my life. Then my parents moved to Fremont, CA. My brother Bryan was

So I know I said that I was going to do Nablopomo this month, but I don't really want to find myself searching for stuff to right like last year, just to "make the (self-imposed) deadline". I'm pretty sure that's why I quit last year. Well, that and a mistake I like to call spending time with Brendan.Anyway, Me and You and Everyone We Know is one of my favorite movies, and I've actually posted

I think sometimes it's important to be comfortable being all by yourself. This is very hard for me at times, because I am diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, type II, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, albeit a very mild case of OCD. My point is, my thoughts sometimes get stuck on repeat in my head, and then they play over and over, louder and louder, until I can't stand it anymore. This makes

At the risk of oversharing, (which is something I can do now that my blog is private!) I am a person who strives on being... regular, if you will. It's important to me. If I don't do my thing on a regular basis, I get cranky. (You can tell I have worked extensively both in nursing homes and with children, where you are constantly monitoring other people's bowel movements. Regularity is

Well, I hope you all are having a wonderful, happy Halloween! Mine's been pretty good, so far. One of my favorite residents at work, the sweetest guy, mustered up all his energy to tell me Happy Halloween in the hallway today, which I loved. And after work I drove home to pick up Klondike, and his Halloween costume, and then we drove to my mom's house. Tomorrow is Joe's birthday, but he had

Richard sent me this picture message yesterday while I was at work. I thought it was the sweetest thing EVER. I posted this earlier but felt the need to take it down. My blog is private now. If you are reading this, it means that I know you, and we are friends, and I trust you. I'm excited to enter this new phase of blogging.

I'm not very happy today. I'm almost sad, actually. I don't know why. Today started off so well. I woke up on time, I actually did my hair and got dressed nicely for work, I left the house before my leave the house alarm went off, and I clocked in a 8:31. One minute late. Better than I've been doing. Excellent.I feel threatened. I feel boxed in a corner. I realize that by having a blog

So I think it's kind of odd that since Weezer and I have started talking a whole herd of people from Nashville and Antioch, TN who are not Weezer have started frequenting my blog a whole lot. I know this because while I was there I labeled his IP address. I wonder if it's a strange coincidence, or if people are checking to see what kind of person I am? It's kind of weird, I'm not gonna lie.

Those were my brother's words when I told him I wanted to sit down and interview Charles Manson. What can I say? I have a professional interest in sociopaths. I really want to become a county MHP, and am so seriously fascinated with mental illness. Sociopaths fascinate me. I can't help but be fascinated by the idea of no conscience. Yeah. That's all I got.

Well, I got some things done. Not as many as I would like, but it's a start. As Weezer said to me last week, "Baby steps. Baby steps." I bolded the things that got done. The rest will be worked on throughout the week, I suppose.*Go over budget with my mom, and set aside money for Angela to pay bills.

I was full of so much inspiration this week. I had things I wanted to accomplish, for myself, for others, to improve my own quality of life. I made a list. I was going to finish it this weekend, and I was so excited.Richard read my list, and sent me a text message. It woke me up on Thursday morning. It said, "Good list.

Today is Grandma's Birthday! Everyone say it: Happy Birthday! She turned 62 today, or so the cake said anyway. We didn't have any candles around the house, other than the 26 that Laini bought for my birthday earlier this month. I wanted her to be 26, too, but my mom felt that 62 was more believable.
