The life and times of Kristi.

Things I'm taking back with me.

Soo… my college on-campus network blocks Tumblr, which is why I haven’t been on in months, since that’s the only internet I use. Anyways… I would like to share the amazing amount of loot that I had to pack tonight so that I can get on an airplane tomorrow and jet home.

Brand-new Calvin Klein winter coat

purple sneakers. :]

Hollister hoodie and shirt from my BFFAEAEAEAE.

new summer dress

2 storage box things

BoM

$20 in quarters for laundry that my mom has been saving for me

3 Teen Vogue issues

3 letters (all college business)

a quilt for my sister-in-law

new scarf and gloves to go with my coat

a bunch of baggy shirts and pajama shorts

slippers

long-sleeved shirts

December scrapbooking prompts

and maybe 3 movies to trade with the 3 I brought back.

That’s A LOT! I love my mom. :]

I love my parents and my friends for making these few days totally worth it.

Relax.

I’m currently in a hotel room in Colorado with six pillows behind my back. Ah, this is the life.

And tomorrow I’ll be sleeping on my brother’s couch until I move into my dorm room with my twin-sized bed.

I absolutely love Colorado, by the way. I’m convinced I want to live in downtown Denver with a cabin in the woods. I love it here.

I am going to miss the hot air balloons and the green chile burritos. Dang it, New Mexico has a hold over me. I watched “Off the Map” with my mom a while ago, and it was an amazing movie (watch out for the split-second nudity) that showed perfectly that this desert has a magical power over you. I’m excited to leave to go to school, but I can’t wait to come back so that I can appreciate it so much more.

Forget it.

I’m taking my allergy medicine now even though that means I’ll have to take it every day at this time. My eyes are so itchy and my head is so full of crap that I can’t concentrate at all. Urghhhh. Nature is not my friend right now.

Tattoos.

If I were to get a tattoo, I would get the following:

Claddagh- on my mid-back, represents friendship, loyalty, and love.

Nautical stars- black and gray, small, on outside of hips, both sides.

Peace sign- large and thick lines, on right inner wrist facing me.

I won’t ever get a tattoo, for multiple personal reasons, but it’s fun to think about and I’ve thought for years about what I would get and what these symbols mean to me.

How does a 14-year old girl have more followers than me?

What the heck?????? One of her posts was asking what her new Myspace URL should be. In my opinion, NO 14 YEAR OLD GIRL SHOULD HAVE A MYSPACE, OR A TUMBLR WITH HER CELL NUMBER POSTED ON IT. I’m tempted to call her cell and tell her that she should probably not have it on there because complete strangers (like me) can get their hands on it. Duh. And her other posts are all about things that make me think that ‘To Catch A Predator’ is going to get involved soon.

Dear Technology,

I hate you sometimes. Can we please make the internet have an IQ and practical knowledge test required for usage? It would make me feel a lot better about the world. Thanks.

Your friend,

Kristi

P.S. Sorry 14-year old girls, I don’t mean any hard feelings, but I was 14 once and I know what you’re going through. I am just suggesting that you should spend some time doing worthwhile things like developing character, skills, and personality. Your self-esteem might be low because you don’t meet anyone in real life anymore. Geez. Go outside, meet people, and enjoy your life; come back here when you have friends, opinions, complex relationships and something to offer to the world.
