Inside Kimmy's Mind

I want my baby sister back. YOU CAN’T HAVE HER JC PENNY’S.

A couple weeks ago Kat started working at JC Penny’s. This is her first job so she is really excited about getting a paycheck. I was happy for her, but that was before I realized I would barely get to see her. She didn’t even have Thanksgiving dinner with us. -.- And now that I’m done with school I want her to come and spend a week with me and Kris at our new place. (Which I love by the way) I keep meaning to make a vlog, but the cold just makes me want to crawl into bed. But now that I am on winter break I will make an effort to vlog more. I know same old tune, I say this every time I “plan” to vlog. But I mean it, I will vlog more. :/ Anyway getting back to Kat, so she no longer has free time and it just makes me sad. I don’t ever get to see her, and when I come home for the weekend she is never home because she is working. Another thing, it makes me wish I had a job but no one will hire me. Having no work experience really kills any chance at getting a job. So I envy Kat for working and also going to school. She is the only Vera girl to have a job while being in high school.  So I am proud of her, even though I really miss her. And I still really really want her to come and stay with us for a week before she goes back to school. But since she is working , I doubt that will happen. I just want her to enjoy my home away from home as much as I do. I also want her to ride the bus with me, maybe show her UH and then take her to B&N by our old place. That’s the best thing about Houston I can get around without a car. 🙂 I still want a car though, metro certainly won’t take the need for a car away. But anyway, I just wish I had my little schedule free sister back. But I know she likes her job so I shouldn’t complain. (even though I doubt she will read this, since she just ignores our blogs, INCLUDING HER OWN!!!!!!!!)  And as long as she is doing well in school and she is having fun then that is all that matters.

I hope I get to see more of her during the winter break.:P

My Psychology final is this Thursday at 8 am!

I really hope I can wake up that early to get here on time. I’m currently at the library because I don’t have net set up at my house yet. Comcast is stupid and they like to complicate things. I had to come to campus to deal with financial aid anyway. Which didn’t take long, I’m actually surprised that it didn’t take long. I thought students would be lining up to deal with the next semester. Either they have things under control or they are too busy with finals. But as I look around to the students on their laptops, all I see is Facebook windows. >.< Is facebook really that important to people? I have one, so I’m not trying to say I don’t update my status. But is it really that important to always be logged on? I guess they could be talking to a classmate/friend and are asking for help or planning a study group. But I just see people looking at their own profiles. XD And I am seen as vain for keeping a blog? Isn’t that more vain to just stare at your profile waiting to think up your next status update? Or is that just pathetic? Again, I have nothing against fb. I use it and update it just like everyone else. But I can go hours, days even without updating my status. And its safe to say I don’t have withdrawals or panic attacks. Now not having internet? That is when I panic. >.< I live on the net, so not having it just annoys me. I know I shouldn’t be worried about the internet when I should be studying and writing an essay. I have an English essay due next Monday. It makes me sad that I won’t need to update my 2305 blog anymore.  I really loved the layout for that blog.  So I have an essay to write and a Psych exam and final to study for. I’m really annoyed with my Psych prof. Not only for making the final at 8 AM, but also for scheduling the 3rd exam on the same day at the same time as the final. Not exactly sure how that is going to work but my main focus is just to study and then get there on time. I tried talking to classmates and none of them had a clue as to what was going on. And then I tried to email him. Asking him to explain it once more because I never did catch this information in class.

His reply:

The syllabus is accurate. We have gone over this repeatedly in class.

Now, I vaguely remember him going over this. Because he always left important announcements at the end of class. And this is a huge auditorium and once one person see class is almost done then everyone starts packing up. Even with a mic you still can’t hear the professor talk. So I could never catch what he said about the final. I know this sounds like an excuse, but its the truth. It was really annoying to not be able to hear him. Even though he should have made every announcement at the beginning of class. :/

So its already 4:27 so I guess I should start heading home and start studying for Psych. I’m not sure where I should start though. :/

So I moved into a townhouse yesterday. The place is great it just sucks that there is nothing within walking distance. I’m thinking I should get a bike. Any of these things would make a great Christmas present.   Either a video camera like this or this or…… a cute bike.

The area I used to live at had a Barnes & Noble, Gamestop, Starbucks, Randall’s, Chick-fi-A, and….Smoothie King all within walking distance. So I will miss being near those stores. Especially Smoothie King and B&N. But having my own bathroom and a washer and dryer make up for it. I’m loving the new place I just hate the moving process. (i.e. packing and unpacking)

So I’m sitting in my new room, and I am extremely happy. I have a huge walk in closet and my own bathroom and the washer and dryer is right outside my door. I LOVE IT!!! I still have a few boxes to get and there is still the kitchen table and living room stuff that we need to get. But it should be done in no time. I just wish I could have it all magically done with the snap of my fingers or by blinking my eyes. -.- I’m so lazy. I’m so amazed that Jody managed to get our mattresses here. He drives an HHR so there really is no place to put a full size and Queen size mattress. He just tied one on top and put one inside and ta da.

I really really LOVE the new place. We have all this extra space and its just so comfortable. I love having my own bathroom too. I plan to make a vlog of the place as soon as we get everything moved in and in its place. So today is Thanksgiving but we aren’t having dinner until Friday. Jody’s family is joining us this year so we are going to LJ tomorrow for dinner. So that is going to be an adventure.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And I’ll update again soon.

I have always been embarrassed by my crooked teeth. I would always try really hard to smile with my mouth closed.  But now I have braces and even though they sometimes really hurt I am still glad that I am doing this. Posting these pictures is still really really embarrassing though. >.<

So I got my bottom braces and I changed the color from silver to teal. It hurt for a bit, but now it’s starting to feel normal. I had to constantly have a cotton swap and orajel near by though.  And I still can’t chew normally so sometimes I have trouble keeping the food in my mouth. Which is extremely gross. But I’m getting better at controlling that. >.< So if you are eating near me I apologize for any flying food.

Now I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’m missing part of my front tooth. I chipped it when I was young, but I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember when. The only thing I remember is that, that tooth started growing before the baby tooth fell out. So it was behind my baby tooth, sort of on the roof of my mouth as I recall. It freaked me out. o.O But anyway so that is why before braces that tooth was sort of pushed back, but thanks to the braces it can be a front tooth like its supposed to be. And once I finish with the braces they are gonna fix my front teeth. So no more missing part. And they are also going to whiten my teeth, THANK GOD!!!! I cannot wait to have my teeth look actual teeth.

This chipped tooth still gets on my nerves though. -.- I just have to remember it wont be like this for long. It will soon be fixed. I’m so excited.

So for Halloween weekend we went to Oni-Con. And we got to see and interview the J-rock band GAKIDO. The concert was awesome, I was in front and got hit a lot by the bass player Rito. GAKIDO was really nice and funny during the interview. Even their manager was nice, he gave us water. :3 Shutaro is my favorite member and he was so freaking hilarious. The entire band was really energetic on stage the live was exciting and the band kept the fans pumped up I had a lot of fun. And for Halloween we just spent the night at home and watched The Walking Dead. Its a good show, of course I hate Rick’s wife. How can she just start sleeping with her husbands best friend? I mean you are in the middle of an apocalypse shouldn’t she just be concentrating on surviving? And oh yeah mourning your supposedly dead husband?! I know its to add dramatic effect, I just really hope someone tells him that his wife slept with his best friend. Just saying.

What Mija and I wore for Halloween.

Being with out my sewing machine sucks. Especially when I have so many projects I want to start.

I won’t talk too much about those projects here because I want to post about them on MS. But one project is a planner sleeve. The planner I have is a mini binder and its cover is a slip on. The cover is plain and a pleather like material but it doesn’t really match my personality. So I want to make a new cover for it. I also want to make a new netbook sleeve. The one I am using doesn’t match me either so therefore, I must make one that will. This is my inspiration. I already have the front material I just need to buy that soft fleece material for the inner lining. I’m excited to work on it. But I don’t have my sewing machine with me. It is still at home and I don’t think we are going home this weekend.

(Side rant– I am on campus waiting for class to start. I am sitting outside enjoying the breeze when suddenly I inhale SMOKE! -.- I’m sorry but I really hate smokers. Just because you don’t care about your health doesn’t mean I share in your idiotic decision. Smokers are really inconsiderate to the people around them. This area isn’t really the “smoking area” there are places for that and this isn’t one of them. And yes I guess I could move, but I’ve already found the perfect table partly covered by shade and partly basked in sunlight. PERFECT. Ok side rant over.)

I made a vlog the other day. And I’m editing another one that I filmed on the same day. It was too large of a vlog to post together so separate they must be.  I think I’ll upload this second vlog on youtube since I haven’t updated that channel in forever. I have class in a few minutes but I rather just go home and play FF 4 Heroes of light. It is so cute, but I keep getting stuck but Mija and Jody help me out a lot.

Well I’m off to class. :3 I’ll update again soon.

So I have been wearing braces for over a month now. And I already see changes. Its so weird. But I am extremely happy. I’m gonna have a pretty smile soon. XD

I have an ortho. appointment on Monday, and if I’m not mistaken I will be getting the bottom braces put on. -.- I’m not really looking forward to it though. It just means I have to deal with the pain again. Oh and not being able to eat. But I will have a nice smile in the end so it is definitely worth the pain. I just really miss eating normally. >.<

So I have two essays I have to finish this weekend. First, is my Art History essay. I am almost done with it, but it is just so boring. I LOVE writing…usually but this is the first time in my life that I have ever found an essay boring and difficult. Plus, I feel that writing an Art History paper is different compared to writing an essay for any other subject. Hopefully for essay 2 it won’t be as boring as this. This coming week is pretty busy for me.

• SUNDAY-Arth essay due

• MONDAY-ortho appointment

• TUESDAY-Eng. essay due & Arth Quiz

• WEDNESDAY-Psych Quiz

• Thursday-read Jane Eyre

• FRIDAY-Gov. Quiz

• Saturday- Free (besides going to class)

>.< I’m so busy. I don’t like it. But during class I did manage to update M-S. XD I know I should be paying attention but it was boring. I started dozing off during the second half of class. Its 3 hours long! Can you blame me? Ok well I should finish my essays now. -.-

I really hate when I have a bad day. Well obviously no one likes having a bad day.

Typed on the 23rd

But my days are usually just tiring never bad. So when I do have a bad day I’m really not fun to be around. I missed the 8:52 bus, (I’ve been doing that a lot lately -.-) and had to take the 9:17 bus (aka the 9:30). So I usually arrive on campus .a couple minutes late for class. It was difficult to board the bus because it was extremely packed.  After finally getting to campus I was a bit late. And then I noticed that I had lost my bottle charm. Yes it is easily replaced, but I still hate losing things.

Anyway, so I went to English thinking I would have a quiz on Dracula. >.< She moved it to Tuesday. (^.^ YES) Instead of taking the quiz we got into a groups and had certain chapters from the book assigned to us. We had to find and explain passages we found important from each chapter. That went well. Only one of my group members just stood there when we had to speak in front of the class. -.- After class I went to the bus stop, and waited for what seemed like FOREVER.  Finally, my bus came and as I boarded the bus I noticed it was different. It was an accordion bus and it was larger and the seats were sooooooooo comfortable. >.< I wish I could ride that bus more often.

So September 11th was my 21st Birthday. And everyone kept asking,” which bar are going to?” My reply was, “oh I’m just going home to celebrate with my family.”

It seemed as if they were disappointed by my answer. As if I wasn’t celebrating correctly. -.- Its not like I’m never going to drink, I just don’t care that now I can legally drink alcohol. Its just not that big a deal to me. Sorry if that is odd.

Like every year, I always have a great birthday. Ok besides the time I had to evacuate and the other time terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center. This year I got a netbook for my birthday, its a 10” Toshiba and its is the perfect size to carry around campus. Also, its nice to take to Barnes & Noble on my way home from school. So I am really happy with it. Plus its so freaking cute oh and the battery life on it is wonderful. It doesn’t have a ton of memory but that is why I’m glad I  have a seagate hard drive. I got mail today from Missy. She sent me a card and a Belle charm oh and the notebook of course. I love and miss you Missy!!!!!!! Thanks again. Her anniversary was the 12th so Happy Anniversary Missy. I hope I get to see you next weekend.

So last Friday, Mija and Jody took me to Aka for a Birthday dinner. We ate the same thing we ate last time. But Jody ordered stuff that he wanted as well. Like seaweed salad.(pic above) But yeah dinner was great. Eating is getting easier, but I still can’t bite into my food. I have to use a fork and cut whatever I’m eating into small pieces. I miss eating candy. I’ve been craving peanut m&ms so bad. On campus there are vending machines practically everywhere I look. And the m&ms are calling to me. I kid you not. But I can’t eat peanuts or any type of hard candy or chewy. I don’t want to risk breaking my braces, so I fight the urge to eat the candy. I do however eat chips but I am extra careful. They taste different though not as good as they used to be.-.-

On my actual Birthday I went home, and mom made enchiladas for dinner. So good. Kat also made me a birthday cake and mini cheesecakes. I love cheesecake. <3 Thanks again Kat. Speaking of the odd ball, she got four teeth pulled today. I hope she is feeling ok.  I will see her tomorrow after class, we are going home to celebrate dads birthday. But I have an exam tomorrow so I should get back to studying. -.- I hate studying. It just makes me sleepy, and bored. And when I’m bored I crave food…junk food. sigh. Ok back to being bored. Hopefully I actually remember the stuff I’m studying. -.-

Song by Morning Wood-Body 21

The first week of classes went well and I like most of my teachers. I’m really excited about English, we have to have a blog for the class. This class was made for me.

Mija took me to class all last week. But starting tomorrow I’m gonna have to take the bus. I already take the bus home so it shouldn’t be too difficult. UH is way different from BC, walking around campus is so exhausting and its really hot. I can’t wait for winter I’d rather freeze my ass off than sweat. And then I can wear layers and scarves and jackets. I really took living across the street from the school for granted. But its something I will get used to. I just realized my birthday is coming up in like two weeks. O.o I’m going to be 21. Weird. I feel old. -.- I don’t like it. ENJOY YOUR YOUTH!

All of my classrooms are pretty big with the exception of my English class. Psychology is in this auditorium, art history is in a recital hall, English is in a regular class room (but we use comfy chairs) and Gov. is in this room. I’ll take pictures of the other two when I can. So there are a ton of people at UH and I have a hard time making friends so I usually don’t talk unless someone talks to me first. And if you are as shy as me then you don’t really bother with people. But having friends at school would be nice. I’m actually lonely on campus. Especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have two classes and no one to eat lunch with. : (  Being anti social sucks sometimes. At BC it didn’t bother me to be alone because I would just walk home. I should try to get involved in clubs or something, maybe then I could meet people and make friends. But I did meet Sarah, she is in my Psychology class and we are very similar. She also lives in my old town. And when I come home I have Mija and Jody and the cats of course. I really miss my home and family but I feel comfortable.

So Thursday I got braces. And I was worried that it would hurt a lot putting them on. But it didn’t. But now my teeth hurt a lot. It hurts to chew and sometimes it hurts to talk, and it definitely hurts to floss. I miss food. There is a bunch of things I can’t eat. Orthodontist should advertise braces as the best diet aid. -.- I won’t be able to eat a bunch of my favorite food. Basically anything crunchy or chewy. I know I’ve seen people with braces eat things they shouldn’t. But I want to take care of my braces so my time in them isn’t prolonged. A year in a half, that is it. I can do it. I just wish my teeth weren’t sore.This song is called Black Sheep by Metric but this audio clip is from the movie Scott Pilgrim. I love that movie.

I have a ton of reading to do for English so I should get started on that. -.- I’m sleepy already.
