I'm Just All Nerves

Oh hey guys! Kate here!  

I don't know if you heard about this.. but Valentines Day is rapidly approaching. 

First of all.. let me just say that I really dislike how everyone always says.. "OMG VALENTINES DAY IS SO DUMB. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE SHOWING YOUR LOVE FOR SOMEONE. NOT JUST ON ONE DAY. IT'S SO CLICHE AND TACKY.. EWWW.." 

Well go ahead and hate on me haters. Valentines day is easily one of my favorite holidays. Riddle me this though.. I've only ever had one Valentine in my life. Why do I love Valentines Day so much? Love. It's that simple. Love doesn't have be shown to just your significant other. Mamma Hunter always gave me a present on Valentines Day. I'd like to look at more as a celebration of love. Love is all around us. If you ask me, there are many different kinds of love. Why can't we just simply celebrate them all? And p.s. What is really so wrong about taking somebody out on Valentines Day? NOTHING. I will be dateless this Valentines Day. I'm completely okay with that. I'm still extremely excited to witness all the love and happiness that will circulate. I actually did get a Valentine present for someone. I tried to get all personal without getting personal. You know.. getting him things that he likes that i've noticed. Not like.. way cool things though. I'm probably not going to give it to him though. To be honest.. I don't think that he'll like it. Or understand it. Or think it's funny. Help me find some courage? Hey.. I never said this whole Valentine thing was easy. OH YOUNG LOVERS OF THE WORLD. Enjoy this day. Or just anybody :) 

^ This little lady came with me to my Tuacahn audition.

Did I mention we look alike AND she just understands me in many aspects? Oh Krystle. I sure do love you!  

Yes, I auditioned for professional theatre. Pretty ballsy of me if I do say so myself. Let me just let you in on a little secret: I've never been so terrified in my entire life. I was too happy to have Krystle, Moses, Madison, Campbell and Garett there for support. I was comforted when a beautiful boy from Maine (James Martin) text me and told me to break a leg. His small message was extremely comforting. I pretty much gave it my all. I am expecting no callback. But hey. Why not reach for the stars? :) 

Campbell really impressed me. He is such a talented dancer. He got a callback for DOODY. <-- Supporting role in Grease. 

I wish he understood that it's kind of a big deal! After auditions, we met up with Kyle and went to Dennys. St. Geezy style. That's always wicked fun :) 

Garett and I came back to Cedar that night. We had a lovely talk, and ended up rolling into Juni around 1:00 am. We did some fun, adventurous activities with the roomies. Oh wait. Then something terrible happened. 

WE ALMOST DIED. 

Rakul started driving up the canyon to "The C" (makeout spot of Cedar) 

Carly, Pearl, Garett, Rakul and I were all in the car. 

When we almost got to the top, we got stuck in the snow. Woops. There was only a cliff leading to our death about 2 yards (or feet) to the right of us. I got extremely scared. Luckily... Pearl got out of the car with me as Garett backed the car down the mountain. I was extremely terrified. Pearl and I felt unsafe in the car, so we ran down the hill in front of it. She grabbed onto my arm so tightly. I only fell about 134895 times. But she was always there to pick me up :) 

I got 4 hours of sleep and then I woke up! 

^ Me actually enjoying the sun. 

It was a beautiful day. It started off by me running all the way to the nearest LDS church in my high heels. My beautiful friend Debra was getting baptized. It was a very positive and happy part of my day. I even cried a little. Kenyon even talked. Debra's boyfriend was there also. It's obvious how much he cares about her. Love really is all around us :) I was incredibly happy to be there for her. Time spent with T, Deb and Kenyon will definitely always be one of the best parts of my college experience! 

The dining hall followed. Including lots of laughs and french toast.

^ Jus me dominating the dining hall. 
(Notice black nail polish... wtf Katy?) 

Afterwards, I said goodbye to my hawt Indian roommate (hate to see her leave..) And my plans to go to Vegas were quickly ruined. It's okay though. Pearly and I went for a bike ride. Followed by Discovery Park with Carly. I actually loved having the sun hit my face. I just laid on a blanket and thought about life and some great individuals. Dining hall again with Pearl and Kenno. I'm pretty sure that I asked Kenyon to get me a cheese quesadilla and fries. Guess what he came back with? Not that. It was a hot dog with no bun and some lucky charms next to it. Sick. But so funny. Then I almost got in another fight with EMANUEL WILLIAMS (Manny) 

Then I went to a lovely play with Kenyon. It was a fantastic piece of theatre. The acting was so perfect. I GET SO JAZZED BY TALENT. I then went to Wal Mart and saw a freaking great looking RA. I also made a fool of myself whilst trying to pay for my chips and dip. (Yeah sick) I ate too much and then decided to mark my territory all over Juniper with Pearl. (Not peeing) James was too cute this evening. Sometimes I wish that the most hip boy i've ever had the pleasure of knowing didn't live on the complete opposite side of the country. It's fine :) Missing all my Ogden friends too much. HAPPY DAY. Pearl is currently snoring like a cute little baby.
