If your life was a movie...

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie

Note - I did not think of this. I stole it from Matt Chernos who I assume stole it from someone else. If he did not steal it, Props. If he did, Props to not him.

A new post by Katelyn

Originally I was going to write a real long entry about a ton of different things but then I changed my mine. My new post will now be a short list comprised of things I severely enjoy. It goes as follows.

Dunder Mifflin
The Office
Awesome on screen Kisses
Couches
Humor
Travel
Amigos
Filming
Good lighting

One last thing - I think I really want to be a DP, Director of Photography, or a Asst. Editor for a fashion magazine when I grow up. My current status as a Pure Math Major is not helping me achieve my dreams.

I Hate the following:

- When your fav band is suddenly on MTV Live. What the hell!! Why can't anything good just be mine and mine for ever?! Now f-ing Tokyo Police Club is going to be adored by millions of people who can't dance and will try to seduce the loves of my life.

- Unrequited love.

- Secret love. In reference to my previous blog post where I call secret love cute, I was mentally deranged. Secret love is painful and sad and constricting on ones heart.

- Attractive people who live far away.

- Opposite ends of life f-ing each other up.

- Awful blog posts! I'm sorry for everyone I ever made. Not this one though, I like this one even if I admitted my embarrassing/creepy love for Tokyo Police Club once again and will probably continue to do so until I die or find something else to fill my time.

- Oily skin. Who doesn't?

- Eating. Except when it is fresh vegetables or fruits or gelatin free Yogurt. Anything else severely blows/makes you fat. Why does almost all Yogurt have gelatin in it? God!

- The fact that I now use God name in vain on a daily basis.

- Never spending enough time doing things I want.

- Spending time doing stupid stuff (which would generally including blogging but I actually love blogging.)

- Never doing things I should do.

- Going to bed. What a waste of time! Unless you are with someone or are exhausted or are anticipating good dreams. None of those exceptions currently apply.

- Missing shows/concerts/grand events.

- Not owning any music by Thunderbirds are Now or You Say Party! We Say Die!

- Not going to see the aforementioned bands when they played in Calgary because of nervousness issues.

- Waiting for Friends to get home and good times to ensue. Why can't it just be Dec. 20th right now!!

- Not living in Toronto or Montreal. Or NYC.

- The fact that I will most likely never see Matt and Kim live or the fact that if I do see them live, it will be in an unbearably long time.

- The fact that this blog post is now over. GOD!

Man Mar and Jocelyn the boy.

So I'm doing the whole "good/smart big sister role" and helping my idiot of a sister with her grade 10 French book which is actually a book I read in grade 8 French class cause I'm smart. We come across a character named Jocelyn LeGrand and I say "write this down! It is an important event! Jeanne, the fille du roy, is taking care of a little girl named Jocelyn, just like you!". "Jocelyn is actually a boy's name in French" she replies. This is hilarious so I drop the book and laugh and yell "I need to blog this". Now, the entire population of people who read my blog know that my sister is actually a French boy, just like her friend Marion dubbed Mar Mar who is actually dubbed Man Mar because Marion is also a French boys name. Contrary to popular belief, Maid Marion is actually Man Marion. Sorry Robin Hood, you've been duped.

Dec 1st

OMG! It is December first! It is offically time to:

Drink lots of eggnog
Eat Madarin oranges
Get Christmas decorations
Play Christmas music
Make a Christmas list
Start Baking
Start getting fat
Start working out to not get to fat
Plan Christmas parties
Get excited for New Years
Send a HOLLA! to 'il st. Nick

I am tres excite.

Get me out.

If you have ever had an urge to kidnap me and take me to a far away place where we would be no rules, judgment, nagging, questions, demands and anything else related to living with parents, go for it. I can sacrifice a hot dinner and regularly clean sheets for a life of freedom and personal choice.

My mom: How bout we get our jammies on?
Me: *No response as I have died due to astonishment/embarrassment at previous question*

Eggnog

As I see it there are two types of people: Those who like eggnog and those who don't. The latter group of people are huge losers.

Current Activity: Dreaming of dance DESTRUCTION w/ The Grates.

My life = Girl Crushes and Dance DESTRUCTION!

F me. My 3 part TPC tour series has ended and while I have a little hole in my heart because I will not see them for sometime now, it can easily be masked by the fact that the past couple days have been TOTALLY SLY! Now for a show by show recap.

Canmore: Solo dancing, post show chats, popcorn and a stiff neck.
Calgary: Stress due to fact friends may not get in, happiness upon friends entrance, awe at the Grates, bliss upon the sounds of TPC, and comradery with fellow mad dancers.
Edmonton: Nachos, Huge dance space, Girl crushes, Boy crushes, Dance DESTRUCTION, and Band water.

The Calgary show was tight as! Gosh how I love broken city. There is also nothing like getting a smile because you are the only one who knows the lyrics to unreleased songs. Bootlegs, how you rock my world! I was in a pissy mood before the show started due to the "sold out" fiasco but The Grates made me forget every worry I'd every had. They are superb. TPC was great, especially when Josh and Graham introduced thier tambourine toss, which very nice, and even nicer at the Edmonton show. It was also nice when we talked and they noticed my dancing.

As for noticing dancing, in Edmonton when the Grates where playing the gorgeous lead singer (Patience Hodgson) pointed to me and said "this girl is the best dancer ever!" I almost died. Lucky I didn't because then I couldn't have danced my heart out. The entire show was the ultimate dance DESTRUCTION! Me, my crew and everyone on the dance floor took all the flooring in the Power Plant and shredded it to bits. I'm amazed we didn't dance our ways to China. After the Grates set, Patience came down and gave us all hugs then complimented me on my hair. I in turn complimented her on her own hair and her gorgeous looks. I think we both offically have girl crushes. Made some new friends while rockin out to Tokyo Police Clubs set, which was great, and afterwards talked to the boys and said goodbye. Did I mention that they loved it that I came again? Cause they did. And did I mention how they asked if I was going to be at the next show? Cause they did. Oh yeah, did I say how Josh Hook got me some band water? Cause he did.

Conclusions:

Watch out China, one day I'm doing to destroy every inch of floor beneath me and dance right in to your rice fields.

Girl Crushes are a wonderful thing.

So are Boy Crushes.

I may have a crush on every member of Tokyo Police Club. Chances are good.

Life Rocks. Hard.

For media from the Calgary show check out my Flickr and Vimeo

Goodness! Edmonton and TPC? All the time please!

Yesterday in Canmore was my first viewing of Tokyo Police Club in my 3 part series of TPC shows. Tomorrow will be my hometown gig and part 2 of 3. Edmonton on friday will be part 3 and my final chance to make sore every muscle in my body by dancing hardcore with my new best friends. Why new best friends you ask? Cause I talked with them all yesterday and we bonded, that's why. Every single member of TPC is a genuine piece of male goodness, for your information.

IMPORTANT - Should you want to come to Edmonton with me to see TPC and potentially some CCH crew members - Edmonton Chapter, let me know and you can hop in my car Friday around 3pm. My car is a babe. You should come soley for a ride in that bad boy.

Question: Is it creepy to be secretly in love with someone?
Anwser : No. It is cute.

For lovely lyrics, lovely vocals and inspiring sounds, go here and listen to "Tessellate" many times over.

Missed it!

This is a specail post for all my Bitches and Hos in the Calgary area! Why weren't you at "That Empty Space" yesterday? I know, cause you're losers! Did I tell you about and you just didn't come? Mega loser! Never heard of "That Empty Space"? Oh my god! Get in the know!

To get you all in the loop, That Empty Space is a small space in Mac Hall that is not so empty, especially on Friday afternoons from 3-6 when it is filled with Beer, Bodies, and Bands. That is right laides and gentlemen, Free music, 3 dollars beers, and room full of people that is so hot, you sweat just standing.

This weeks musical stylings were The Meligrove Band and The Golden Dogs. You missed out! That's ok though, go with me in two weeks (I'm away next week) and all will be swell.

Hallelujah!

I just had my first mandarin orange and glass of eggnog for the season. And I'm listening to the Zombies! Delicious!

In the midst of a solo dance party in my kitchen.....

In the midst of a solo dance party in my kitchen, my glasses flew off the face. At the end of the song, I went to go find them. Not only was the lense missing, but a bunch of the frame had broken off. I found the lense, but now have a broken frame.

X-Mas List

I have started my Christmas list. It so far goes like this:

Scrubs DvDs.

...to be continued.

Less is more.

Why does image hosting aggravate me so? Oh yeah, that's right! Cause it sucks!

In order to get good grades so that I can transfer universities next year, I have decided that less is more. Not less studying you doofus! Less TV! The following is my new weekday tv schedule. I must stick to this religiously. The only fluctuations can be if I drop a show (less is more!) or if I watch TV while working out because that doesn't really count (I could read my textbooks while working out but who does that? One step at a time. Gosh.)

Everyday - the 2 episodes of scrubs and 1 episode of miami ink which were recorded from the previous day.

Monday - The Class
Tuesday - Gilmore Girls
Wednsday - ANTM
Thursday - Ugly betty/Survivor (watch alternate recording next day)
Friday - Life with Derek

The weekend is schedule free as I generally don't watch TV then except for The Amazing Race which is on Sunday nights.

With a high class and extremely strict schedule such as this, I shall soon become the smartest Math Major in all of U of C.

Christina my Love!

Christina Aguilera is coming to Calgary on March 15. While this is not big news to some people (by some I mean most) I know, this was very big news to me. I love Christina Aguilera. Firstly, she is a bombshell. Secondly, her voice is dynamite and Thirdly, her new CD is awesome! Of course, it wouldn't be Christina without the emotional ballads but have you seen the music vidoe for "Hurt"? With her new image, even the power pop ballads (which are less power pop and more awesome then they used to be) are good. Now comes the bad news: I could potentially be away on March 15 however I wont know until mid December and by that time tickets will probably be sold out. I could of course by a ticket now and sell it if I can't go but then that turns in to a pain (they are also 100$). RATS!

"The Class" is my new favorite sitcom. After Scrubs of course (new season starts nov. 30!).

Oh the Photo!

OH, that picture that is my new blog heading? Yeah I took it. Where? At THE LOVELY FEATHERS!! That is them, by the way. I may go do some school work now. Shocking, I know.

Current Location: Nirvana Company: The Lovely Feathers

ATTENTION WORLD!

Last night was the greatest night of my life.

Why? Because I saw the Lovely feathers. Not only did I see them, I danced w/ them, I sang w/ them, I talked w/ them and I smiled w/ them. My life is complete.

The night started off like this: Me and Janer at Karen's with her puppy. Suddenly, a call from the delicious Molly Swain with instructions to meet her at Broken City (aka. my new favorite place). After a fabulous foggy windshield drive and a great park job in the sketchiest of sketch alleys, we arrive. We now only have 3 hours to wait before the show starts. Good times ensue as drinks and food are ingested and friends appear from all over. During this time there were slight moments of shortness of breath when members of the Lovely Feathers would walk past us or simply stand in the corner on the other side of the bar and breath (an incredible sight to see). 9:30 finally rolls around the the opening bands open up the show. Crazy, I know (please notice rhyme-arama just then). While they were good (espcially Ghost Keeper, a local band) all I wanted was The Lovely Feathers.

Now, I'm generally very nervous around bands and such but I could tell tonight was going to be a different kind of night. While Molly and I admired the moogerfooger device, Noah Bernamoff, the bassist, went to grab a cord but it slipped from his grasp. Seeing as it was right by me I handed it back to him which made that action the biggest interaction I have ever had with a band. During soundcheck the boys would play little riffs from their songs, all which made me and my comrades short of breath. By the time Mark Kupfert opened his mouth to the microphone and spoke his first words, my body was in full on freak out status. Frantic was their first song and I went off. The best night of my life had just begun.

The Feathers played old stuff and new stuff and both were fabulous. The new songs made me tres excite for la nouvelle album which should becoming out early next year and during every song off My best friend Daniel or Hind Hind Legs, Molly and I (and karen and this sweet girl who i didn't know) would sing at the top of our lungs and dance like we have never danced before. Mid way throught the set, Mark looks over at us and is like "you know, if there isn't enough room on the floor you guys could come and dance up here" I look and my friends and my jaw drops. "Man" I say "I definitly have to hit that up" Mark then looks at his crew and is all "Roddy? Roddy." Then whispers in to the microphone "stewart". Now I have a lot of history with this song as I played it all summer at Kamp and everyone loves it and it is one of my fav songs to play on guitar. I look at my friend Coral from Kamp and we freak out. I then look at Molly and we freak out. We then look at the Lovely feathers and freak out because we are going to go dance with them.

So we are on stage, busting a move to rod stewart and singing at the top of our lungs. Now, previously to this in the middle of some song, I can't remember which, Mark says "It's your turn now" and Molly and I sang at the top of lungs while the Lovley feathers played. It was awesome. Little did I know things would get much, much awesomer. Back to dancing 30 cms away from Mark, Ted, David and Noah. During one part of the song Mark leans away from his microphone and I, Katelyn Louise Mudry, sang into Mark Kupferts microphone for all of Broken City to hear. I know it didn't sound anywere near as good as the real thing, but hopefully people got the gist of how much I LOVE this band. After Roddy is finished and Mark thanks me and I thank him for being awesome, I run real quick to the bathroom cause that is how I roll.

When they played Wrong Choice I almost started to cry I was so happy. Nothing is better then seeing you favorite band with some of your favorite people and listening to a song that will rip your heart out. They then said that that was actually thier last song. No way was that going to happen. With encouragement from the crowd, the boys ended up doing not 1, but 2 more encores, being far over thier alotted set time. The last song they played was Frantic, for the second time and it was like heaven. Espically when David passed us the microphone and I once again was a part of the Lovely feathers sound. Afterwards I shook hands with Mark and David and told them how much I loved them, talked to Noah about Richard who is unfourtunatly off at med. school and we both gave props to doctors, and talked to Ted while buying 61 dollars worth of merch (some was for my sister).

I can now say that I have personally talked to, sang with, danced with, smiled with and sweated with The Lovely Feathers. My life is complete.

I heard:

I heard the following sounds and they were kickin!

Los Camopesinos
Meligrove Band
The Bicycles

Happiest part on my body at this moment = My ears

Did you know:

Nick Diamonds = Most attractive male

Islands are for ever and ever and ever and ever.

I am not a whore.

Happy post all hallows eve! A couple things I learned Last night:
- Tight black dresses are bad for dancing
- Should you dance in a tight black dress, it will most likely rip from the zipper to your mid thigh
- Black pantyhose is good for covering bottoms in ripped dresses
- Black pantyhose is very hot for dancing
- Halloween is for whores
- I'm not a whore
- Very attractive males make me self conscious and nervous
- Bosoms are not good for holding coat check tags
- Should you lose your coat check tag, tip the girl 12 dollars

All in all a good night. I now however have and issue. Because I was a mourner, I had black makeup running down my face because I had been crying. Now I have black makeup stuck on my face because i don't ever wear makeup and don't now how to get it off because it is so close to my eyes and delicate eyelashes.

!!!!

I have NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! Poor Dr. Antonio Franceschet is laid up in bed with a maladie undisclosed. Hmm what to do with my DAY OFF??!! I'm guessing, watch scrubs earlier then usual and have extra time to think about all the things that I could do to improve my life and then not do them! I am so excited. I also want to go to Edmonton very much for reasons which are undisclosed to the public at time of publishing (and for an infinite amount of time after publishing) .

A slow one for asthma

So at a local show this weekend there was a band called The Shagbots playing and everyone was toatlly into them. After their second song, the singer said something hilarious. It went like this - "Ok, were gonna take it down a notch cause I have asthma. If anyone wants to run over to the merch table and grab my puffer that would be awesome". He proceeded to use his puffer and started given 'er again. Props for puffers.

Global Warming my Butt!!

It snowed today. Yesterday I was all "man my eyelashes are frosting. Fall is definitely upon on in the biggest of ways" and now it seems that there has been a Coup and Fall has fallen out of office to give way to Winter - that unruly time of beastial weather and fabulous woolen accessories. I think my favorite part of winter is the post-outside sensation when your appendages start to regain circulation and you still have little bits of frost/snow melting on but you are warm as can be.

On a louder note - I’M SEEING THE LOVELY FEATHERS ON FRIDAY!!!!
With Halloween on Tuesday, islands on Wednesday, ugly Betty on Thursday and the lovely feathers on Friday, i don't think my week could get any better. Oh wait! NEWSFLASH! My week just got better! Sky's B-day party on Saturday. Oh my lord, someone get my an oxygen tank cause I’m going to need it.

I am Heartbroken

Today I failed my midterm. It wasn't even one of those "oh I totally failed" and acutally got 75 percent, or even 60 percent. I think i'm going to lucky if i get 30 percent. Never have I ever been so unprepared for a test in my life. This is one the most important test I have done as of yet and I just couldn't get it together. Why? Because I can't get anything in my life together. Not school, not athletics, not my home life, not my friends, not things I actually want to do. I'm addicted to TV, to sitting, to wasting time, to being misrable, to sleeping, to wishing i was sleeping, to eating, to nothing.

I realized today why I am so miserable. I'm heartbroken. When ever I think of summer camp I go through a complete physical and mental shutdown. All I want to do is see my kids from this summer and for it to be summer and to be working at Kamp Kiwanis and Chief Hector. Why did I ever make any choices in life that took my away from those places? Cause i'm and idiot. Kids, don't be idiots. Leave your homes and go to summer camp. It is the best place in the world.

Conquest!

Things I have conquered in the past few days:

- Being extremely nervous. I am now only a little nervous. Generally
- Going to a free show (Jay Crocker @ that empty space. It was fab)
- Buying shoes. They are cool like an old man.
- Dancing hardcore with broken pants to The New Porographers

I have an urge to create or destroy something.

Good band = I was a Cub Scout

Hour 8

Hour 8 of my urine test. I have peed 4 times since 7:00 this morning. For those of you not getting a Math degree, that is one urine sample every 2 hours. It will soon be 5 pees in 8 hours. That would be a pee every 1.6 hours, or 96 minutes.

I am addicted. To what you ask? Let me tell you!

- Lists
- My blog
- Facebook
- Tv
- Scrubs
- The dollar bin @ Junk star
- Plaid or checkered shirts. Espically ugly ones.

Hour 5

Because I had a kindey stone in June, I have to do a urine test. I was supposed to do it in august but I put it if until now. I am currently in Hour 5 of my first of two 24 hour tests. Updates to be posted.

I also bought new shoes. They are my dream shoes. I love them. I jumped up and down when I bought them and so did everyone in the store.



They are to small. My toes will be crushed should I wear them. I am taking them back.

The following are So Hot right now:

- Soophie Nun Squad - Donkey Call
- Lip Rings
- Shoes
- Being Strong
- Mini wheats
- Snow
- Math Majors
- Islands
- Communication
- Gossip

The Following is not Hot at all. Not now and not ever:
- Sore Abs
- Achilles tendonitis
- Low Cash Flow
- Orders and Demands

Yeah!

So I was driving home from blockbuster with a car load of my sisters friends after they had just rented a butt load of scary movies for their Friday the 13th horrorfest when Christina Aguilera starts singing from my pant pocket. I reach into my pocket, groove to Christina for a moment then flip open my phone. I was excited because I was expecting a call from my friend to arrange evening plans. It was my friend but not the one i was expecting. It was Fucking Phil! From Montreal! To put it plainly, most exciting phone call of my life. Never has anyone called me personally on long distance. Man! Phil said he needed to vent and I said VENT AWAY! Why? Because Phil is AWESOME.

History - We meet in Montreal at the youth hostel. My friends and I were in a very bad mood and where yelling and being mad and the throwing my waterbottle. That is how we meet, Phil asking me how's it going and me yelling in his face then throwing my Nalgene onto the streets of Montreal. What ensued in the next 2 days was a whirlwind friendship consisting of me freaking out at Phil's extensive concertography (he's seen the Libertines 13 times!!), nights on the town, boy bands @ Mcy D's, Bright eyes lyrics assailing the ears of every person on college street and late breakfast for our homeless selves.

To recap - I got a phone call from Montreal. It was from Fucking Phil!. Phil is AWESOME. Life is AWESOME.

p.s watched trainspotting. Ewan Mcgregor is a babe and drugs are bad. Real Bad.

People make me nervous

It's true. In any kind of situation, especially small intimate groups I get extremely nervous. It's slightly different if I know someone (and by know I mean am a good friend with) because then we can talk and people will see that oh! She can talk! Great! She's not just some weirdly attired nervous mute girl! Which is the image I give off when anywhere by myself. Also, I really like spending time with people, but hate the process of getting together. That is why I like camp style situations because everyone is always around and to be with friends all you have to do is walk out of a bathroom stall.

I want to get a job but I am very nervous about the whole application process. I have to make a resume but I don't want to plus it wouldn't say much and then do I offer it to them? Do they ask for it? What if their times aren't flexible? Do I really want to work at the cappuccino bar at the end of the strip mall by my house? If not where else could I work? Would i have to drive to work? I can't work anywhere with a dress code because I have limited clothing mainly consisting of plaid or band shirts. Plus I would never want to work anywhere with a dress code. Then do I take the cappuccino bar job? I haven't even applied yet! What am i talking about! If only life were as easy and as wonderful as blogging.

Bliss

Is there anything better then Music and loving music?

No.

I am a fiend

Oh Ma Ga. I just redid my Blog layout. It was a pain. First, i tried to avoid using my sick HTML skills by finding a good layout. It is impossible. So i found an Ok one then started htmling like a fiend. By a fiend a mean an awful tryhard webmaster. I flipped and aligned and bordered and image edited and uploaded and finally i have my new Tokyo Police Club themed blog. I still can not figure out how to change the fruity text for the post titles so please excuse the fruity text for the post titles. And any spelling errors. Spell check is not working.

Titles are for the WEAK!

My black blog is a little depressing although better then the first black I had which was all black and didn't have little white boxes for my text. What I want most is a totally sly Tokyo Police Club themed blog layout. Approximately 2 secs ago I wanted a Sailormoon layout, but now I def. want a TPC layout. This makes me depressed because that means I will have to use my rusty rusty HTML skills if I want to have a sly blog layout.

Back in the day I was an HTML master. My sister and I had massive plans for the best Sailormoon website ever and it was soo cool but then we couldn't find a place to host it and didn't want to pay for a place to host it so it never happened.

Thanksgiving dinner has given me intense gastoral pains.

My mother thinks i'm a miserable child. I think she is too stressed and afraid of laziness/relaxation.

I think a medium sized alien is about to rip it's way out of my stomach and then devour me from head to toe.

Blackness

Got a new blog layout. It's black. Like my heart.

Listen up!

Matt and Kim @ FDR House in Cambridge, Mass

Hey! My new favorite band is.....

MATT & KIM. check them out here or here and watch this awesome video.

La grande poo poo

I went to the mall today to get some stuff.

It sucked.

Firstly, I didn't find what I wanted and Secondly the mall sucks. I was in a great mood because it was Friday and my friends were coming home for thanksgiving but now I WANT TO DIE! I HATE THE MALL!!! Walking around took all my energy plus then I was like to spend or not to spend which always ends up in not to spend so basically it was a big waste. Just thinking of it makes me mad.

New Subject - sleep

I need it now

New Subject - movie

Y tu mama tambien is very very good - not only because I love Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal and they wereexcellente in it but it is also funny and good.

Painting

We are painting our house. Rather, my mom decided to hire someone to paint select pieces of our house. It smells pretty bad and my dog wagged her tail against a wet door and left fur stuck to it. It was kind of funny. Also today it was really funny when I threw an empty becel container at my sister because she wouldn't walk the dog. Unfortunately it hit her right in the eye and she cried a bit, but it was still hilarious.

My dad said he reads my blog sometimes. HI DAD!

The Lovely Feathers continued..

They are also playing in Edmonton on the saturday which means ROAD TRIP!!!!!!! I can barely breath. Someone call the hospital because my heart just stopped.

The Lovely Feathers are coming to Calgary

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zach Braff

Why is it that inspiration and the motivation to do great things comes to me at the most inopportune times? Like when i'm sitting in the back seat of an overloaded subaru, or lying in bed, or listening to my really awful math prof. Then there are times like now when it would be the perfect time to go out there and do something like change the world or even just get new underwear and refill prescriptions but all I want to kind of do is sleep and all I want to really do is blog about how much I love Zach Braff?

I love Zach Braff. I think even more then Vin Diesel which is a really big deal as last year all I wanted for Christmas was a Vin Diesel poster (which i got and is totally sly - please see Oct. 1 post for the birth announcement of your new favorite word). Now that I am home from uni every day before lunch I watch a lot of Scrubs because I have a series recording of it (if you don't have digital cable go get it. It rocks like the rocky mountains). Every episode John Dorian M.D does something that I love. Generally that something is just breathing. Also, every once in a while he changes out of his scrubs and you're just like OMG you are so good looking. J.D from Scrubs is my perfect man. In everyway. Not only is J.D perfect, but I figure that Zach Braff must be at least half as cool as the character he plays which makes him off the hook, plus he did Garden State which is one of my favorite movies and elevates Zach Braff's levels of wonder equal to or slightly above J.D's. I haven't seen The Last Kiss but I have the soundtrack (one more reason to Holla at Zach Braff) and have talked extensively about how much I want to see it/how much I love Zach Braff with multiple people; specifically a Brit named Mike. I suspect that if he was gay or a female, we would have to have a fight to the death for Zach Braff's love and affection. I would win of course because I practice killing people regularly. I mean seriously, I would not want to met myself in a dark alley. Or a bright one. Or any place for that matter. Every time in breath I instill fear in the heart of some Hell's Angels member. That is all beside the point however because the true fact of the matter/my life is that I LOVE ZACH BRAFF.

Yay!!

This is a very important blog post. Why you ask? Because it is my sister Jocelyn's first time helping contribute to my blogging/interweb nerdiness. Mini tribal!

On to the real reason for this post. In t-minus 51 min. The amazing race 10 will commence. My sister and I are standing by eagerly. Yahoo!

End of blog post.

singed,
K-dawg and JoJo (not the 14 yr. old pop singer you moron I don't know or like her. JoJo is a totally sick nickname for my sister Jocelyn)

P.S If you didn't do a mini tribal at the end of the first paragraph, you should (and by should I mean must) go watch "Biodome" with Pauly Shore. Why you ask? You guessed it - because it is totally sly (combination of sick and fly copywrited by Katelyn Mudry at this very moment)

P.S.S JoJo very intelligently informed me that the t in t-minus stands for time, with t being the first letter of time and therefore a very appropriate letter for the time variable commonly used worldwide and in particular in grade 10 pure math. HOLLA. See kids, high school is not for naught.

I am so nice

So ages ago I bought a ticket to go see Jurassic 5 which is one of the illest bands ever. Their concert is Nov. 1 and it would be a totally fly time. When I bought my tickets, I thought, man I should totally call my friend Rory because he digs J5 like nobody's business. Then I was like, nah, he is totally in the know and he'll figure it out, plus I don't have his number. A while later I get and email from my friend who is like "yo buddy, we should totally go see islands on nov.1 with you me and everyone we know!" I wrote back with "wouldificouldbutcan't cause i'm hittin up J5". This is not were the story ends. last week I told my friend about J5 and he was like "yeah man I will totally come!" so he goes to buy tickets, but it's sold out. I can't believe it. Now I am going to a totally sick as rap concert by myself.

In case you didn't know, I may sound like I could be a rapper some times because I as so totally fly, but I am actually not. I am actually a 17 yr. old white girl who likes to listen to some rap, mainly only J5, the beastie boys and Ill Mitch. And now I am going to Jurassic 5 alone. Awesome.

So here comes the important part. Tonight I see Rory. As soon as he walks in the door, I freak out. I tell he J5 is coming and ask if he has tickets. This is were he freaks out. No he didn't know and No he doesn't have tickets but he must get them. The whole night, we talk about how he must get these tickets so that we can go see Jurassic 5 together because they kick it like a top ninja does. By the end of the night, Rory is dying because he probably can't get tickets. This is were I come up with a plan. Even though I like J5 and am on the ball about things like going to see them, I know RoRo likes them more then me. In fact he may even love them. I figure that since there is an other show that night that I want to go to and could go to with friends, it might be Ok to give Rory my ticket. He said yeah he would go by himself if I gave him my ticket but we should try to find one for him first. So I get home, and check ticketmaster.com. J5 Nov. 1 at MacEwan hall ballroom is definitely sold out. This is when I decided it is final - RoRo deserves the ticket more then I do. Tommorowish I will call him (with the phone number which I now have) and tell him the good news. Then I will buy my ticket for Islands which is 30$ cheaper and alert my friend and everyone we know that K. Mudry will be indie dancing it up with the on nov.1 to the sweet sounds the band known as Islands.

I am so nice.

Mid-Terms?

So my friend and i went out for tea today, and she said she has a mid-term on friday. i don't know when mine are, but i assume they are fast approaching. this is a bad thing. at this moment in to i have done 0 of my homework and 0 of my reading which will probably get me very little above a 0 on my mid-terms, when ever they may be. I'm a little bit stressed right now due to this fact.

on a better note, i think i have kick started my life! things are going good and i am now a member of the University of Calgary Outdoors Club. i am fully sick, in the illest of ways.

FLICKR!

I Love my new flickr pro account. go check it out!

Bad news - kick starting my life is not going so well
More bad news - i am a huge loser with no friends, that is why i chicken out of going to local music events by myself. or mabye that is why i try to go to local music events by myself. What ever happend to stand by your (wo)man! who is standing by me?! NOONE!

The worst news - I want to go out, but no one has called (please see "more bad news") so i must call someone.

Update

UPdate:

I live and die for Tokyo Police Club.
I want to go back to montreal. For multiple reasons.

Return

I have returned for my holiday to Toronto and Montreal, and while I had a wonderful time and met wonderful people and saw wonderful wonders of the world, I realized that I need to kick start my life. By returning home I am returning to a (somewhat) structured life encompassing school, athletics, the need to care for myself and others, and many opportunities that (with planning) can be taken care of. How will I do this? By sitting on my blog and making a list of course!

TO DO:
1. Go to school, all the time
2. Workout physically immediately after mentally (after school)
3. Clean up my room (not so easy)
4. (as per parents nagging) Go shopping for new shoes/jeans/bras(my choice)
5. Read a book a week (or 2, depending on length)
6. Get all my uni text books. and ID card.
7. Report to training at hour of commencement ALWAYS. NIAOB (no if ands or buts)
8. Eat well - no sugar, yes spinach, yes cooking full meals, no eating only snacks
9. Watch less television (yeah right, i just set up a series recording for scrubs, ANTM stars tomorrow and a plethora of other reality shows start in a matter of days)
10. Accomplish all while maintaining a cheery disposition

There you (and I) have it. 10 (not so) easy points to better my life. Off i go.

Bring it on!

My internet has been on the Fritz. Possible because of mega downloading bogging down our server. Or something like that. I don't really know what I'm talking about. Anyways all in all I say it was worth it because we (my sister and I) downloaded Bring it on! and Bring it on! All or nothing. Both super sweet movies. While Bring it on! gets serious props for being the original and introducing me to the world of competitive cheerleading, spirit fingers and Brrr it's cold in here, both my sister and I agree that All or nothing is a better cinematic experience. One of the best parts in All or Nothing is the "roll call" that the Crenshaw Heights Warriors do. Them girls got attitude. Also, I really like the part when Camille, played by Solange Knowles, is ready to throw down. She's just like "Carisha! Hold my shit" and starts to take out her shoulder length hoop earrings. Clearly she has done this before.

Something that surprised me about both films is the blatant use of racial stereotypes. Not only do they play up the "only white kids go to rich schools" and "only black kids and the occasional Latino come from the ghetto", there is racists comments throughout both movies that are slightly shocking. One of the best examples is from All or nothing when the New Rich/White girl Captain Winnie looks to her Asian "friend" and says "Shut up Crouching Tiger".

In the end, these movies have made me drop my old anti-cheer views and embrace the intenseness that is cheerleading. In the most serious of tones, I would totally be a cheerleader if I could do a standing back handspring back tuck. Now all I need to do is watch Bring it on! 2 - Bring it on again to complete my cheer-experience. Also, if you can't get enough of extreme displays of mad athletic ability, check out STICK IT which is a totally fly film.

Side note - I saw Bring it on Again and it is very bad. Not even the Cheerleading was cool. It is an awful movie. That is probably why All or Nothing is so good, to make up for that travesty of a movie.

Summer

Summer is good. Why?

Warm Weather. Jumping in Lakes. Eating fresh Fruit. Family Vay-cay. Laughing. Special friends. Relationships. Summer Camp. Counseling. Kids. Falling in love with kids. Special People. Late nights. Cozy Sleeps. Singing. Green. Music. Caring Parents. Lying down. Running. Playing. Fudgicles. Bare Feet. Sandal Tans. Watch Tans. Sunshine, deep down in my heart. Said deep deep, said down down said deep down in my heart.

Crazy

OMG. Opened up the newspaper today, and realized the world is in a crazy state.

Pain!

Monday morning my dad woke me to drive my car to the shop and I had bad cramps. Maybe I'm hungry, I thought to myself so I had a bowl of cereal and some ibiproffen before we let. My cramps progressed to get worse until we returned home so I immediately lied down in my bed. I slept for a good 2 hours and upon awaking was looking forward to feeling better, but the lovely post-pain sensation never hit me as I was still in pain. The pain increased for the next couple hours and by 12:30 my mom and I were waiting in the emergency room at the Alberta Children's Hospital. A nurse lady gave me a hot blanket and I napped for an hour until they were ready to see me. My pain had subsided during my little nap but we figured we would still talk to a doctor which was a good idea because I once again experienced extreme pain about a half hour after waking. Once the doctor finally came to see me, my pain had lessened but was still present. He and his colleagues decided that I most likely had a kidney stone. I proceeded to get my blood taken, provided a urine sample and got and ultra-sound. After a discussion with the other doctors at the hospital, it was decided that I would be transferred to Rockyview Hospital as kidney stones in 17 years olds is not what the Alberta children Hospital is best equipped for. At the rocky view I waited in extreme pain in trace until they wheel chaired me to my CT scan. After the scan I vomited for the second time that day and was moved to a bed in emergency. My pain decreased slightly and I was hooked up to an IV. Once my doctor finally came, he told us it would be recommended that I stay the night. I was moved to a semi-private room with a very old lady who had some sort of bladder operation and a great view. During the night I had one extreme fit up pain which was eventually lessened by the tordol/morphine I received through my IV. The Doctors told me that the pain associated with passing a kidney stone is often more painful then child birth. I stayed in the hospital all day Tuesday, mainly sleeping and being in pain and came home Tuesday night. To day is Wednesday and I still can barley walk, but I haven't had and extreme fit of pain since my night in the hospital.

All in all I recommend to stay extremely hydrated in order to avoid kidney stones and after this experience I'm totally ready for childbirth.

Upset Stomach

So on the weekend I went to my friends birthday party and had fun but then the next morning I had to wake up early. Not bad, I can do it, I'd done it the previous day. So I get up, look for my clothes, can't find them, leave in her clothes and drive to Tim hortons. Whilst standing in line, I get a sick contracting feeling in my stomach. I proceed to the bathroom, drop my stuff on the floor and proceed to vomit in the toilet. I then wash my hands and return to the line to get my bagel and orange juice. Ordinarily , this wouldn't be so bad but today I have to finish my first aid course which runs from 8 am to 5 pm. I get to St. John's Ambulance and finish my bagel. Little did I know this would be only wasted time as I would throw it up and hour later. That day of first aid training was probably one of the most painful days of my life. Not only did I vomit upwards of 5 times in a public bathroom, I was cold, and weak and shaky and one lady asked if I was going through chemo because I have a shaved head. Once the day was finally finished I had to drive home which to say the least, was exhausting. Never in my life have I been so sick. The only comparable day to this would have been when I got my wisdom teeth out and although I did have massive holes in my teeth and exposed bone in my mouth and overdosed on tylonel 3 and found out I was allergic to codeine, I didn't throw up my small intestine in a public bathroom.

Green Tea gelato

Yesterday was my last day of high school. Heartbreaking.

Yesterday evening i got some delicious green tea gelato at this new italian place that is were a dairy queen used to be. I used to go to the bathroom at Diary Queen whilst running, but now i will go there for delicious green tea gelato. They also have a viagra sorbetto that i may try sometime.

So hot!

GAAHHH!! I am so hot and tired and sweaty and sticky! After running around all lunch hour to collect change for the Alberta children's cancer foundation which we are fundraising for on June 7 in which my friend Renee and I are both shaving our heads, I practiced the Million ways Dance routine for a French project then talked to my friend a bout grad and rode my bike home. Now I am very tired and hot and sweaty and sticky.

G-Rad

So last wednsday-Sunday was g-rad and it was RAD! Graduating is definitley one of the funniest things I have ever done. To anyone who is thinking of dropping out of highschool, don't do it because once you graduate it will be all worth it. To bad we have 2 weeks left and exams. Holy Cow! Only 2 weeks! Plus I only have 2 exams/courses so exams will be a slice of pie! Grade 12 rocks. I highly recommend it.

Monday - may long

I am slightly tired, and my contacts are a little dry and I have post pizza taste in my mouth. Gross.

If you are looking for I good time, watch "High school musical" on family channel or buy it soon on DVD.

saw the Strokes last night and it was, to put it lightley, INCREDIBLE! you know one of those perfect moments, that you never thought would ever happen to you, and then it does, well that is what all of last night was. i was 3 feet from touching julien casablancas. if only his mic cord was longer! anyways, probably my favorite parts of the show were vision division, last nite, hard to explain, is this it and take it our leave it. oh yeah, also new yokr city cops. as you can tell Is This It? is one of my most favorite albums ever. Another reason why this show was amazing was because Jlien said that we pretty much made thier canadian tour, and were the best crwod they'd played to in all of canada. while i know people say that all the time, i definitley think he was scincere as all the members of the band looked slightly shocked when they came on for the encore as we were going crazy. anyways, this brings me to the real reason for my post - TOP CONCERTS/LIVE ACTS I have been to.

1. The Cribs
2. The Strokes
3. The Lovely Feathers
4. Hot Hot Heat with louis XIV and the Futureheads
5. Metric 04/04/06

My Life

I live for two things:

1. Arctic Monkeys B-Sides and Bootlegs
2. Project Catwalk

Very late

It is very late and I should be in bed but I felt this uncontrollable urge to outwardly proclaim my love for PROJECT CATWALK - namely Matthew as he is the cutes, scruffiest, most desirable young British designer I have ever seen. On the previous episode, when his model Anna was switched, they showed this clip were he said that he thought they got on well together and people even said that they looked good as a couple, and I almost died. Also, I love nearly everyone else on that show except for Marianne and Debbie. I severely enjoy Renato and his funny comments as well as Shakeels immense talent in not only designing but fabricating massively impressive pieces of clothing.

The Cribs

Yesterday I saw the Cribs with Death Cab and Franz Ferdinand. It was one the best concerts I have ever been to. The cribs were on first, and I was standing as close as I could while not being on the floor. It was one the best moments of my life. Not even joking. Definite top 3. You know those girls in Beatles movies, or with boy bands who are freaking out and crying? That was almost me except for I was dancing by myself. It was so incredible, there are not even words to explain.

Wisdom Teeth - the sequel

My wisdom teeth experience is not as pleasant as it first seemed. I started going down hill when I took 4 T3's in 5 hours. I then called my father who was like "you have overdosed" which explained my extreme dizziness, uncontrollable shaking and intense feeling that I was going to vomit. I lied down and tried to sleep it off, which worked pretty good until I tried to sit up, then it all came rushing back. Luckily my AMAZING friends Renee and Ellorie came over to see how I was doing. This proved to be extremely helpful as my parents, who said they would be home at around 5:30, 6:30 at the latest, didn't get home till 8:30 (they did have a valid excuse, but still). Anyways, my recommendations for getting your wisdom teeth are

1. Don't take to much tylenol
2. Make sure your parents are trustworthy
3. Have awesome friends

Wisdom Teeth

To day I got my wisdom teeth out! It actually wasn't that bad, they gave me my anesthetic, and I got all tingly then had a really nice long nap. Now I am very hungry but don't want to eat because of the gauze in my mouth to help with the bleeding. Check out my vimeo clips as well.

Today started off great. Not only was it Easter Sunday which means chocolate galore but my grandma came over! With her she brought me a little gift. I was away during the world figure skating championships which were in Calgary this year but my grandma went everyday. One day she met the one and only Jeffrey Buttle! She took his picture and got his autograph then put them together and gave them to me! This is incredible thrilling on account of I am in LOVE with figure skating and there is nothing more beautiful then Jeffrey Buttle's long program. My Grandma ROCKS!

After the excitement we told Grammie that she had to pick out which of my grad pictures she want. Whilst looking at them my sister realized that one of my eyes is bigger then the other!

We think it is because I cut myself right by my left eye so now the muscles are looser which makes my eye look bigger. I doesn't really matter though as the fact remains that one eye is bigger then the other and my life as I know it ceases to exist!

Britney Spears

Punk Rockers!

Yesterday I had a very good time at the UPRISEFEST! - local bands performing all day in a benefit for a permanent all ages hall. Great idea, except for by the time that actually happens I will have reached the legal age and be able to go to any venue I desire! I danced a lot, which was fun, but the punk rockers beside me were not so fun. My poor little toes got stomped on multiple times and many a poor dancer was pushed around against their will. Finally, they calmed down a little, and the one girl was just staring at me I shimmied over and danced a bit, then she smiled and laughed, and just stood there. Rock on all you Punk Rockers!

delicious

FIRE!

Last night I had a big fire. It was good, we threw saw dust at it and the flames got really high, then everybody threw two handfuls at once expecting a massive fire ball, but the sawdust suffocated the fire and it went out. I soon started it's self again but it's almost at that precise moment that I started to rain even harder then it previously was, so we decide to move in side and build a fire in my fireplace. So turn on the gas, and put in all the old Christmas wrapping that has been in the fireplace since Christmas and get the fire going. Oh yeah, I have to mention there was a sage bundle in there too, which mad a nice aroma and cool colors. Soon after the fire was started, people noticed that the house was slightly smoky. We realized we had forgot to open the flu and we were just smoking up my house. We put out the fire, but that is the least of our problems because the fire alarm, which is connected to the security alarm system starts going off. We turn of the alarm but can't reset the system so the alarm continues to go off every 5 minutes for an hour. We finally, after two calls to the alarm company, reset the system and the alarm stops. All in all, a fairly exciting night.

Vin Diesel

My sister has been sick and had a plugged nose. to help her to breath at night, she has hooked up a steamer in our room. the steamer makes the room very humidy and sutffy because you have to close the doors and windows to keep the steam in.
It also doesn't help that the window is broken and jocelyn doesn't like to open it. This process is reeking havoc with my posters, Vin Diesel in particular. In the middle of the night I wake up to find my lovely black and white poster in Vin off the wall and on my bed. This puts little creases in the poster as it falls funny and invariable compels me to get up, out of bed, clear a space on the floor and place Vin in the flattest position possible until the next morning when I can reinstate him to his proper spot on my wall. This isn't only a problem with Vin but also with my Marilyn Monroe poster and my spice girls poster. Luckily nothing else is big enough to fall, but some of the corners peel of the wall and leave my pictures droopy. Straight up, this is a big pain in the bum as Vin and Marilyn both have little creases in them now and I am running low on tape due to my costing reposting of posters. Hopefully Jocelyn's cold will be better and we can stop the steamer, or I'm going to have my lovely posters and move out.

Daylight Savings

Daylight savings is quite incredible. When you think about it, it is one of the only things society does as a whole. This morning everyone turned there clock one hour forward and just accepted the fact that everyone else will do it to. I mean, what if it was when you set your clock and hour back, and you forgot to do it but you had a flight to catch, you would miss your flight. Setting everyone off by and hour could have very terrible unintended consequences. You think with something this important there would be more public services announcements. Today for instant, my nana forgot to change her watch and all of a sudden she had missed the Sunday breakfast of waffles with whipped cream and berries. This may not seem a big deal to come people but to and 80 year old women who looks forward to Sunday brunch at the lodge, it is a big deal! Or what about school? If some poor kid didn't set his watch forward, then he gets to school and hour early, no one is there and then his teacher finds him and says "my you are an excellent student coming to school and hour before everyone else!" then the kid becomes the teachers pet which of course leads to bullying, especially if you are in grade 10, and bullying leads to poor little depressed grade 10's and it just goes on. To think, all this because of daylight savings.

Rare occurence

So today i cleaned up my room, the downstairs and my rifle. and the kitchen. After a highly unproductive spring break, I just got in the mood to do something, like clean. Also, yesterday was the worst day ever. After a lovely drive home from canmore, i had an appoitment to get my new radio! in my car! exciting, or so it seemed. after waiting for and hour and 15 min, we (my dad and I) returned to pickup the finished product. unfourtunatley the guy tells us he can't get the deck out cause it needs a special key, but it's coming. So we go and wait for an other hour, come back and he says, sorry, it didn't work, we don't have the key. so now i have to drive down to frickin sunridge on wendsday for frickin 5:00 to get my dumb radio installed! also, i had to spend 2 hours at the mall. what an awful saturday.
