How Procrastination Saved Me $100

We've all had those moments when procrastination costs us dear. We ended up with a bad grade because we put off the assignment until the last minute, or we were late to a party because we were watching Grey's Anatomy (I've NEVER done. Nope. Definitely not me. I'm a responsible teen.)

But today was an anomaly. I actually saved money by procrastinating.
Sure I've done this before when I procrastinate and then a sale comes up, but I've never saved on this scale. But then again I've never bought airplane tickets before.

That's right. I saved money on plane tickets. And I'm BRAGGING ABOUT IT. How typically adult-like.

But because I was too lazy to make the tickets yesterday, the prices went down and I SAVED $100. Sure the flight times are now at like 10:00 at night, BUT $100!! Do you know how many books I can buy with that?!
Hint: A LOT OF BOOKS
And where are these plane tickets to, you ask?
To Auburn, to party it up with Margot.
Well, really to help her move, but there are going to be parties involved.

So, in conclusion, PROCRASTINATION CAN BE GOOD.
Don't tell your parents I said that.

Why I can never be a Disney Princess

I think we can all agree that there is a certain standard that every Disney Princess upholds. This standard is ridiculous, impossible and degrades women.....but I think I can say that every girl still wants to be a Disney Princess. There are so many perks! Handsome princes, rich castles, wild animal pets, and a happy ending. So I took a look at myself and realized that "Hey! ...I'd never make it."

So here we have a look at the basic talents of a Disney Princess and how I stack up to them

  1. Talking to animals.

    Literally every Disney princess has this in some shape or form. Even Mulan talks to Mushu!

    Me: All animals hate me. I wish I was joking. I'm supposed to housesit a cat this weekend and I'm afraid for my life.
  2. The ability to remain hopeful all the time.

    Every Disney Princess has some major life changing event, usually it's not a good thing. BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS SO HAPPY ABOUT IT?! Like what even? I've come to the conclusion that they are missing their amygdala (the part of the brain that controls fear.)

    Me: Yeah nope.
  3. Going after what you want.

    Yeah sure sometimes it's a bit more like what just happens to them, but for the most part Disney Princess get what they want.

    Me: Even if I want something, even if I've said "Yeah I want that. I like that." it still so hard for me to ACTUALLY do it! I can almost never get the guts to do the things I want to do, because I'm scared of how other people will react. Obviously I mean when it comes to bigger things, because if I want that ice cream, I will get that ice cream.
  4. Having the voice of an angel.

    Does this one really need explaining?

    Me: My voice is one of my biggest insecurities. I don't like my voice, it's too low and it's all weird and bleh. So obviously I fail on like the biggest requirement for being a Disney Princess.
  5. Connecting with Nature.

    I need a Disney Princess that like runs onto branches and trips over logs and just generally hates nature. I just don't understand how all of them just get along so well with the outdoors!

    Me: HAHA no.
  6. Natural Grace.

    Disney Princesses: They always do everything with absolute grace and daintiness (random note: doesn't the word "daintiness" LOOK dainty?)

    Me: The one time I tried to be dainty, I ended up bruising my hip and leg.
  7. Crying Prettily.
    Here are a few examples:


    Me: I was once told by my grandfather that if I ever found a prince, I must never to cry around him or he'd leave me for sure. (I was like 8, but that still hurts.)
So those are a few reasons why I can't be a Disney Princess. Although... ikindawishiwasadisneyprincess.
What?
I said what?
Don't be preposterous.

A Very Happy Birthday to My Best Friend

Today is a monumental occasion. It's my bff's (a.k.a. Whaleton) sweet sixteen!!
This is a huge milestone in the teenage life, so I've dedicated this blog post to describing, in all her fabulous glory, Margot Anne Tucker.

First of all: my relationship to Margot.

Margot is my best friend and cousin. Since birth we have been inseparable, as apparent in Exhibit A:


She is also my partner in crime, the blonde to my brunette, my confidant, my other half, and my therapist. And my person, she's my person.

Margot Tucker isn't like any ordinary girl. She's bloody brilliant first of all. She's smart and sweet and gorgeous and kind and just overall fabulous.
I don't think Margot Tucker realizes how amazing she is, how many lives she's touched, how many people she's helped just by being. Being Margot Tucker.


She means so much to me. We fangirl together, we cry together, we laugh together, we celebrate together. And when someone pisses off one of us, they piss off both of us. We've been each others best friends since birth and we are immeasurably, ridiculously, and immensely close.

So don't go changing Margot.
You're my person. You will always be my person.

Apologizes, Poptarts, and Ghosts

So first....

I apologize for not blogging. I swear I always meant to come back, but I decided to finish with school for the year first. Which I did on Monday. But then my parents went to D.C. for a week and I'm left taking care of my five siblings ALL BY MYSELF. Usually we have a college student or family friend stay over and they may leave a few times during the day, but for the most part they are at the house taking care of my five siblings (I alone am exempt from the orders of them because no one wants to mess with a moody teenager and her internet connection.)

But now I am completely alone! Which has lead to two things: Poptarts and Ghosts.
*ahem*
POPTARTS ARE QUITE LITERALLY THE BEST THING INVENTED SINCE THE INTERNET.
So I've discovered Poptarts.... See when my parents leave, I get to go grocery shopping and one of the things I picked up (along with three different kinds of ice cream) was Poptarts. Now this is probably a staple of anyone's childhood, but my mom hates all things that are stuffed with preservatives and sugar. So we never have Poptarts. But when I bit into the warm deliciousness of a Confetti Poptart, my world was turned upside down. I'm not sure how I'll survive without them when my mom comes home tomorrow.

The one downside to staying home alone (besides the obvious annoying siblings and the phone that won't stop ringing with random people checking up on us like, "Yes Grandmother-who-lives-across-the-country-and-forgot-my-birthday-and-no-i'm-not-still-bitter-that-she-remembers-everyone-else's-birthdays, I'm not killing off your grandkids, don't worry.")
The one huge downside is....ghosts. Let me recap for you the ghosts I've run into the past few days.

  1. The ghost who swings the hammock when there is not a hint of a breeze.
  2. The ghosts who live in the dryer and make it malfunction with the drying AND make the timer noise go off during ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT. I say "ghosts" because it happens all the time and there must be ghosts that take shifts.
  3. The ghost who makes the loudest noise on the phone making it impossible to hear the other person (I was able to get rid of this ghost by unplugging the fax machine where it resides.)
  4. The ghost who keeps logging me out of the Wii Netflix. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
  5. The ghost who is making the dogs bark really loudly right now (I hope to God that it's a ghost and not--I'm not going to think about it. I am not going to think about it.)
So as you can see I'm doing perfectly fine.

PS. If you know a good exorcist, let me know.

Thoughts during High School Musical

It was 12am. I made a decision. I stick to that decision.
So here is......

Thoughts while watching High School Musical

Yes, because picking two random people to sing together will always have a happy ending.
Guy predicts the entire movie in the line "You two will thank me for this one day."
Oh, Gabriella moved to the same school as Troy? WHAT A HAPPY FREAKING COINCIDENCE THAT WE ALL SAW COMING.
So he's singing a song in front of his friends about how he can't sing in front of his friends?
Kelsi is my new favorite character.
I'm pretty sure this much sexual tension between two characters is like illegal in a Disney movie.
And the principal is okay with the guys carrying around and throwing basket balls everywhere?
Chad has some pretty awesome hair.
ZEKE YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE CHARACTER AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME OF YOUR BRULEE.
Troy, you have lame jokes.
Troy, I can see your underwear.
Troy, you have lame jokes.
Troy, just kiss the damn girl already.
TROY, PLEASE STAPH WITH THE LAME JOKES.
How is his hair and his skin like the same color?
Kelsi is the kid who will grow up and write the entire Tangled soundtrack.
STOP MAKING LOVE EYES OVER THE SCENERY.
GAH THE ROMANTIC TENSION.
"That girl is Gabriella and she's very nice." That is all you are going to say to your dad? SHE'S NICE?
YEAH! Stand up for your almost girlfriend.
Chad, if you are going to devise a sneaky plan, make it a good one.
I TAKE IT BACK THAT IS TERRIBLY SNEAKY AND DOWN RIGHT DIRTY.
Although be honest Gabriella, did you honestly expect a guy you met like a week ago to ditch all his friends for you?
So these kids are 15 right? *sigh* I'd forgive it if they had know each other forever and just fell in love, but again....ONE WEEK.
Gabriella has a balcony on her house. This better come into play...
Sneaking around a girl's house is called stalking.
I KNEW THE BALCONY WOULD COME INTO PLAY.
God, this is so stupidly romantic and I love it.
These kids have a lot of free time. Do they even have classes?!
How has no one sent Sharpay to a psych eval?
How did Troy come up with a plan so quickly? He only had like thirty seconds and by the look on his face he wasn't anticipating the change in schedule so how on earth did he think that up so fast?!
I'm gonna have "Bob to the Top" stuck in my head tomorrow.

There better be a kiss at the end of this movie. None of that "forehead kiss" or "passionate hug" crap from Disney.
NO NOT A CHEEK KISS COME ONE.
ALMOST ALMOST ALMOST....NOOOOOOOOOO DAMN IT DISNEY.
WELL THAT WAS DISAPPOINTING.
DAMN YOU DISNEY.


Well that was interesting.
I have no other words.

My music library episode THREE

More music....YAY!!

  1. Way Back When by Grizfolk. This reminds me of Valentine's Day, because I spent the entire day dancing to this song, getting really really really excited about Julia (my cousin and Whaleton's older sister) engagement to Joel, her then-boyfriend.
  2. Madness by Sleeping With Sirens. OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG. LIKE LEGIT MARRY-IT-IN-VEGAS LOVE IT. It reminds me of rain, because it was raining a lot when the album first came out and I continued to play Rainy Mood when the rain stopped. It almost seems wrong listening this song without rain in the background.
  3. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. Jensen Ackles. Oh and my dad hates this song for an unknown reason, so one night we all sang it super loud to make him mad. And then we ran and hide.

    And we still haven't come out of hiding yet.
  4. The A Team by Ed Sheeran. Auburn. I first bought the + album when I was visiting Whaleton and we played it over and over and over and over and I remember standing on the stair balcony and singing it down to her while she was folding laundry. ANNNNNNNNNNND then Nick throw his door open and told me to shut up. Which I didn't do. Obviously.
  5. Wolf Bite by Owl City. This one is the easiest because as soon as I hear this song I am transported to sitting on a swing in the front yard of our summer house, Maplehurst. (Well really our grandparents' summer home, but that sounds less cool.)
  6. Howl by Florence and the Machine.  This is a truly amazing song. It reminds me of werewolves for obvious reasons and then werewolves remind me of Beatrice (congrats Tris, you've been in this world for like 24 hours and you're already in my blog.) The reason Beatrice reminds me of a werewolf is because she is one. The signs are all there! She has very furry ears, she was born during a lunar eclipse, she makes weird noises like a wolf. She's a werewolf.
  7. Single Ladies by Beyonce. IF YOU LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT. This song is just....there. It doesn't remind me of a particular thing.
  8. Terrible Things by Mayday Parade.  This one reminds me of HIMYM. If you know the song and the show, then you you know what I mean.
  9. Jealous by Nick Jonas. This one isn't so much of a memory as a thought trail that goes something like this: Oh hey, I like this song. This is Nick Jonas. Wow...I can't believe how much he has grown up since the Jonas Brother days. He and Nat Wolff should do a song together, seeing that they both were part of a band that had the word "brother" in the title and I had a crush on both of them when I was younger (I AM NOT PROUD OF THAT, BUT IT HAPPENED.)
  10. Eet by Regina Spektor. This one reminds me of the color blue and being lonely.

And there we have it.

How I've changed in a year.

Today is my last day of being 15, which is kinda scary if you think about it. I've been 15 for an entire year and through that year I have changed.... a lot. And now I'm leaving 15 behind, like I'm shedding a skin or something. The weird part is I'm still not used to being 15, I still sometimes say I'm 14. So how am I going to get used to 16?! Anyway...As I was thinking all these scary thoughts, it really occurred to me how much I have changed in the past year and so, as usual, I made a list.


  1. I've become less shy. This is mainly thanks to two things: Camp and Whaleton. Camp really gave me that push I needed when I was 14, but when I was 15? I realized that those people are crazy and weird and I love them so much for it. I'll never forget sing "All About That Bass" in the halls, swapping gossip in the bathrooms, and shipping all the campers. The second person, Whaleton, really taught me the power of friendship as cheesy as that sounds. She taught me that trust in a friendship isn't something to be feared, but something that really makes life worthwhile. She taught me that having someone who is so ridiculously close to you is the best thing in the world.
  2. I've become more awkward. More socially awkward. If I'm intimidated by someone or particularly nervous around them, then I become an awkward turtle. Just completely shut down into idiot land.
  3. I've learned to love hugs. "My name is Catherine and I like warm hugs!" is a sentence that I would have never said a year ago. I hated when people touched me and for the most part I still do. But I have learned that hugs really are awesome and they really give you a sense of love and affection. (This is all thanks to being forced into hugs for many years. It's like exposure therapy.
  4. I can handle life. Life used to be this big scary thing that I couldn't handle most of the time. I ignored Life. I'm covering my ears like a kid, when it's words mean nothing I go "la la la". I'm turn up the volume as it speaks, cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I'll go "la la la." (Sorry I had to.) But now I can look Life in the eye and say "You still scare the out of me, but I'm going to persevere to the end."
  5. I've learned that the little things are what count. The tiny things that make my day are the things that add up in the end. A sweet compliment from someone I love, hearing my favorite song on the radio, dancing with friends to said song, baking with friends, watching movies with friends, shopping with friends.... FRIENDS JUST MAKE LIFE, OKAY?

My Dating Profile

Because I'm deathly* ill right now, and when I'm deathly ill I spend the entire day watching YouTube videos, I happened to stumbled across Emma Blackery's Dating Profile Tag. And yes, this is a technically YouTube tag, but I believe in equality for all types of internet-ness!!

Also because I'm not in a relationship and most likely won't be in one in the near future, I've answered these questions with more of a friendship kind of relationship view.


  1. Do you believe in love at first sight?
    No, I don't. I think it's completely possible to be attracted to someone at first sight, but love isn't something that can be determined within a single glance.
  2. What do you do for fun?
    I....internet? And use nouns as verbs.
  3. Do you want/do you have any children?
    I would love kids!....Way way way way in the future. Obviously I want to be married and have a good income and all that stuff, but also I would like to be able to experience crazy and amazing things before I have a kid. Is that selfish of me? To want to live a little before I have to settle down?
  4. What are you looking for in a relationship?
    HONESTY. In every kind of relationship. For some reason, even if the knowledge hurts, I just need people to completely honest with me. And not honest about just themselves, but honest about me. Like every little thing I do that annoys you? I want to know. That thing I said months ago that hurt your feelings even just a little? I want to know. What your favorite ice cream flavor is? I NEED to know. I also value trust and, surprisingly, affection. That is something I found out recently about myself is that I actually like affection now, I used to hate it, but now physical and emotional affection from my family and friends is much appreciated.
  5. What is the one thing about yourself that you would like me to know?
    I have an addiction to buying books.
  6. If you won a lottery, how would you spend your millions?
    I'd go to Disney World. Like a proper trip that lasts a week and a half and I go do EVERYTHING. It's a bit of a stupid thing to wish for, but ever since I was younger I've wanted to go to Disney World. I would also buy the lot that is next door to me, tear down the old house and completely rebuild it. It would be three stories high with a Jane Austen look to it, and I'd have secret rooms and corridors and plenty of nooks and crannies for reading and bookshelves! Oh, I'd have to many bookshelves and they'd all be overflowing with books!

    Oh and I'd get a two kittens, one named Darcy and one named Lizzie. 
  7. Which was the first crush you ever had?
    Hmmmm...I honestly don't really remember. I guess it would probably be Nathan, the older brother of one of my oldest friends. Mostly because I know I did have a crush on him for like a week and that's the earliest I remember... Well to be perfectly honest, it was most likely a guy who is now my best friend, but I really don't remember.
  8. You have got six months to live, what will you do first?
    First thing? Quit school and go travel the world. And I'd finally get the courage to do and say the things I've always been thinking.
  9. Are you a morning person or a night person?
    It depends on who I'm with. If I'm with Whaleton, then we go to bed rather early (at least for me) and then wake up early and make breakfast. Normally? Totally a night owl.
  10. If you have friends coming over, what would you cook?
    Well obviously it would depend on when and why they were coming over, but if it was just to relax and watch movies and stuff, I would make these amazing rice krispie treats that have double the butter and the butter is browned and all the marshmallows are browned too and it's HEAVENLY.
  11. If you could travel back through time, what single mistake would you correct in life?
    Hmmmm....So many... I couldn't choose.
  12. Where do you see yourself in five years time?
    Let's say for the sake of argument that I'm 16 now, I'd be 21 and probably still in college and hopefully in a meaningful relationship.


And there we have it! In case you want to do this tag, here are the list of questions to make it easier for you.


Do you believe in love at first sight?
What do you do for fun?
Do you want/do you have any children?
What are you looking for in a relationship?
What is the one thing about yourself that you would like me to know?
If you won a lottery, how would you spend your millions?
Which was the first crush you ever had?
You have got six months to live, what will you do first?
Are you a morning person or a night person?
If you have friends coming over, what would you cook?
If you could travel back through time, what single mistake would you correct in life?
Where do you see yourself in five years time?

I really recommend doing this because it's actually pretty insightful.
In other words...
DO IT.
DO IT NOW.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT.

Kat
*And by deathly ill I mean I have a cold.

Oh and yes, I did update my blog by just putting new font and a new picture of books behind it.
Cause that's how I roll.

Texts I sent Whaleton while watching Twilight.

I decided that I need to waste two hours of my life and watch Twilight.
Bit of backstory: most of my family is at co-op which means that I had to stay downstairs with the youngest kids who stayed home because that are sick. My dad is also home and in the same room as me as I watch Twilight. He, needless to say, didn't know I was watching Twilight and I wasn't exactly hiding it, but just not broadcasting my evil doings.

As I began I decided to bombard Whaleton with texts about the movie and I have edited them for *ahem* viewing purposes.


ME: I'm watching Twilight because I'm bored and I'm going to send you updates.
OK So, so far all Bella says is "Uh...oh....ummm...humm....gahhh....ahhhh."
And there is definitely tension between Bella and Edward, but like awkward tension, not romantic.
And Edward is really awkward
but like kinda gorgeous
I may have standards, but I'm not blind.
OK so like how does no one question why the Cullens aRE SO PALE
WHY IS EVERYONE SO AWKWARD
LIKE WHAT'S UP IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE DRINKING WATER.

God he is so rude,
like just slap him already Bella.

OK Edward just saved her from potential rapists
"You don't know what they were thinking."
I'M PRETTY SURE SHE KNOWS WHAT THEY WERE THINKING
THEY WEREN'T GOING TO INVITE HER TO A TEA PARTY.
IS IT WEIRD I MIGHT BE GETTING A LITTLE INTO THIS
LIKE HE ASKS HER TO DINNER AND I'M LIKE "OOHHHHHHH FINALLY."
OK he's kinda cute
KINDA
Bella is still a terrible character

I JUST REALIZED THAT I'M DRINKING RED CRANBERRY JUICE WHILE I'M WATCHING A MOVIE ABOUT VAMPIRES

KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS
GOD NO WHAT AM I DOING
STOP GETTING INTO THIS CATHERINE

Doctor: He was killed by an.....animal attack *looks at Edward knowingly*
Bella: Oh my god, is it the same animal that killed that other guy?
Doctor: Most likely *looks at Edward*
Bella: Oh my god, I can't believe it.
Doctor: I know *looks at Edward*
SUBTLE DUDE REAL SUBTLE

SO SHE FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT
Ok so Edward has some awesome coats.
random fact
but totally true
Did....did they just SKIP SCHOOL?!
HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO GET INTO VAMPIRE COLLEGE IF YOU SKIP SCHOOL.
God, I hate teenagers....

OK the cinematography of this movie is terrible
VAMPIRE FINALLY SHE SAID IT HE IS A VAMPIRE
"are you afraid?"
"no"
You're an idiot Bella
AND NOW HE IS RUNNING SUPER FAST WITH HER ON HIS BACK
I HATE THIS MOVIE
*Edward shows sparkly skin*
Bella: You're beautiful.
Me out loud: Oh God why.
I may have forgotten to mention that I'm watching it downstairs in the same room as my dad so say "Oh God why." out loud is not a good idea
Edward: I've killed people.
Bella: It doesn't matter.
Me OUT LOUD AGAIN: IT KINDA DOES MATTER.
Dad is getting suspicious....

Bella: I'm not afraid of you.
Edward: You blind bitch? I a killa.
GHETTO TWILIGHT I NEED IT IN MY LIFE NOW

I JUST REALIZED THAT EDWARD HAS NICHOLAS' SMILE. YOUR NICHOLAS HAS A VAMPIRE SMILE.
YOU MUST KILL HIM WITH FIRE NOW, WE HAVE PROOF THAT HE IS VAMPIRE BECAUSE HE HAS A SMILE LIKE ONE.
I THINK I'M ON TEAM JACOB
CAUSE JACOB IS SERIOUSLY CUTE TOO
AND HE IS LIKE MORE NORMAL

The effects are terrible.
OK that's it. I'm halfway done and I'm giving up until later. This movie will be the death of me.

TWO HOURS LATER
Started it up again.
OK so Bella's vegetarian diet is annoying me, SHE COULD HAVE STEAK FOR GOD'S SAKE BUT INSTEAD SHE HAS A SALAD?
OK he is leaning in
is he going to kiss her or eat her
I will let you know

kissing apparently
and the worst kiss of all time too
I can hear their mouths squishing

Yeah so telling your dad you are dating a guy while he is cleaning a gun is not a good idea
OMG HE COCKED HIS GUN AND SAID "BRING HIM IN" HAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS GUY
BEST CHARACTER
SO she is not at all creeped out by the words "You are my life now."?
As the minutes go by Bella gets stupider and stupider
WHOA THIS ENDING THO
WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS

When your vampire boyfriend tells you to leave.....YOU LEAVE FOR GOD SAKES
Also why does no one ever use the more traditional methods of killing vampires what happened there.

EVEN THOUGH EDWARD HAS LIVED FOR LIKE 700 YEARS HE APPARENTLY NEVER LEARNED TO KISS.
TOO MUCH SQUISHING.

BELLA HAS THE BEST DAD EVER
OHHHHHH TENSION BETWEEN EDWARD AND JACOB
BELLA'S DRESS JUST CHANGED COLORS BETWEEN SCENES

This movie has ruined "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" for me.
This movie has ruined a lot of things for me
LIKE RELATIONSHIPS

OH JUST KISS ALREADY
THE SEXUAL TENSION IS KILLING ME
FINALLY
ANNNNNNND EDWARD STILL CAN'T KISS PROPERLY.
IF I CAN HEAR YOUR MOUTHS SMACK, IT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.

THIS MOVIE WAS DIRECTED BY A CATHERINE.
YOU, MA'AM RUIN THE GOOD NAMES OF CATHERINES.

I'm just going to go burn my eyes out now
and then write a blog post about this
thanks for being my guinea pig.

And that's what happened. I was going to write a review, but I was too laz- *ahem* busy. I was too busy. Yeah, that works. Too busy.

Kat.

St. Patrick's Day.

Firstly I want to apologize for not blogging in FOREVER.
Things have been busy.
Which really means I have recently discovered computer games and have become obsessed.

Anyway, today is St. Patrick's Day just in case you haven't noticed the drunk people running around wearing shirts that say "KISS ME I'M IRISH."
And as a wee lassie with Irish blood coursing through her veins, I have a few problems with this holiday.

FIRSTLY, THE STUPID PINCHING THING. If I didn't have green sweatpants that I sleep in, this morning would have consisted of people pinching me and me punching them back. Seriously guys, cool it with the green. It's stupid and juvenile to look for an excuse to pinch someone in the colors of clothes that they wear.

SECONDLY, THE GREEN FOOD. Green is not an appetizing color. There is a reason that Sam I Am had to convince that guy in the weird hat to eat green eggs and ham. It's just plain weird. So please stop dying everything green. My food thanks you.


THIRDLY, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE IRISH DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO GET STUPIDLY DRUNK. For some reason, Irish people think that they have a get-out-of-drunk-jail-free card on St. Patrick's Day and they take advantage of this.

All that being said, I had a pretty nice St. Patrick's Day. I went to this party that some friends of my parents throw every year and we all sat around a fire and sang Irish songs and sipped beer in their case and ginger ale in mine. And I just got home at like 11:30. Which is UNHEARD of for a homeschooler. It was also Sharkie's birthday today and I know Whaleton spent a lot of time making it a great day for her.

Cheers!
Kat
