Well, this weekend was the worst.
First: I got sexually harassed while eating an ice cream cone from McDonald's. It is a sad day in this world when one can not walk down the block enjoying ice cream without a man pulling up and demanding you lick it again, because it is extremely sexy. And it's a really sad day when that man insists and proceeds to hold up traffic for, what felt like hours, but in actuality was only a couple of minutes. But still long enough to cause a traffic jam. Next time sir, I will call the cops.
Second: Our dj at the Tonic Room got fired! But not before we were subjected to about an hour and a half of bluegrass music whilst waiting for him. Now, I love "O, Brother Where Art Thou?" as much as the next person (to be honest probably more then the next person), but it's not what I want to listen to for an hour and a half on a Friday evening. So now we are in limbo. Hopefully the Tonic Room will hire someone great and we will continue to dance our lives away there. But, if not I'm not sure what we are going to do. It took as all summer long to not have to pay, to get to know the greatest bouncer and bartenders ever, and for them to recognize our faces. I don't want to start over at a new place. The Tonic Room is perfect! It's just the right size with just the right people. Sigh, I hope they get it together.
Third: Well, really this ends my list, but do I need to say anything else?! This weekend was a serious bummer. I mean even the doughnut sandwich at the newly opened Bleeding Heart Bakery couldn't fill the hole in my heart. I need a weekend off to come to terms with everything that happened. So hopefully next time we met I'll have a better report. love,

Chores?!
This is an s.o.s. I need someone to give me a crash course on how to talk to guys. I think that its gone from bad to worse. For example, every Friday we frequent the Tonic Room and, let's just call him the greatest bouncer ever, is there. I don't know why I keep going back I've managed to completely embarrass myself every weekend.
Little known fact about me, I love McDonald's ice cream. So there is a Mickey D's down the street from the Tonic Room, so I've decided that it is acceptable to go every week and get a cone. I just don't know why I think that it's fine to bring ice cream to the bar. Every week. No one looks good stuffing thier face with ice cream. And this week he found out all of our ages and deemed me a baby. I don't know why whenever someone calls you a baby, you immediately begin to act like one. My brilliant response to that was to stomp my feet in protest and declare I am not a baby. To further add to my baby image was our conversation thirty minutes later when he asked what I was doing on Saturday. I decided it was ok to admit that I was doing chores. At my house. Where I still live with my parents. HEELLPP!
Despite all this I will be back next week. Complete with ice cream.

Kids Across America: Kaleo edition
Hey!
I've forgotten to write about KAA and what a wonderful time I had there. I mean, to sum it all up quickly I had a wonderful time! I got to re-visit being a komo and work in the kitchen one morning (I completely forgot how early we had to get up!) and I got to see some of the lovely people I worked with two years ago. They are still so lovely and great. I got to play in Branson (yay for senior citizen's Las Vegas!) and get some rocking earrings. My kids opened up during Cross Talk and it was heartbreaking to hear their struggles, but wonderful that they trusted me to open up about their problems. The kids had a bit of a culture shock adjusting to camp, but overall I think that they learned a lot and really enjoyed it and I pray that they want to go back next year!
I think the most impacting lesson I learned that week was at KAA 3's Cross Talk where the director said: If you flirt with sin, it's going to rape you. The images that, that statement conjured up were so powerful and have stuck with me. I've just been really trying to not place myself in situations where myself, or others, can be tempted to stumble. I think people try to play with sin too much and are surprised when it doesn't turn out in their favor. I'm trying to avoid it at all costs and I thank God I never was good at flirting.
In other news, I have decided to not pursue guys that I like. I'm going to start pursuing those I hate, because those I like always (and yes, I mean always!) have something wrong with them. And I'm not talking general human imperfections, I'm talking they have criminal records. I can neither confirm or deny that this happened at camp. Alright, I'm out!

What not to do...
Hey ya'll!
It's time again for what not to do, and this time I'm coming at myself. Yes, no one is exempt from what not to do! So recently I've been praying and God has placed it on my heart that I should start looking for a potential mate (you know to avoid a fate filled with cats), so I've been out and about trying to talk to guys. To say the least it has been interesting and now I present a list of things that I did that you shouldn't.
1. Notice when a guy is flirting with you. This makes things a lot simpler. Don't be several drinks in and not pick up the signals until half an hour later, only to find that the guy has thought he's been shot down and has taken his leave.
2. Don't let your friend put you on a guy and then refuse to talk to him for hours. For then, although the guy may be interested he, of course, just happens to be the dj at this event and you'll have to leave before you can exchange numbers.
3. Don't run out on a perfectly good conversation. Don't say a sentence, giggle like a school-girl, then scurry out like a church mouse. Not a good look, not a good look at all.
4. When you've been rejected by a guy: A. Try to avoid going to the place where he works. B. If that can't be avoided (I'm just not going to give up eating pizza!) don't run out of the place pretending to take an urgent phone call. It was like one in the morning, I was fooling nobody.
I'm sure that these are not the only blunders that I have made, but they are the only ones I can think of! So please, learn from my mistakes and do better. I know you can!

Check-up
Hey blog, don't look at me that way. You knew you were getting involved with a chronic non-writer when you got into this, so I don't want to hear it! Anyway, I figured I should check in and report what has been going on in my life, which is nothing. So glad we got all that cleared up and I'll see you in two months! No, I'm just kidding I've been having lots o'fun! Last Friday we went to the Tonic Room and listened to Hollywood Holt dj and it was magical. We met some people, got yelled at a lot, danced on staged (and when I saw we, I mean I was forced to dance on-stage by myself, because my friends are jerks), perhaps even won a dance-off and we're going to do it all again tomorrow night!
I'm still trying to come to terms with my new haircut. It's way shorter then I want it to be, but it has been really simple to take care of so we're going to focus on the positive!
Lots of fun people are coming into town. Trace is officially moved in here! YAY! And Tyler is here doing his TFA thing, and apparently Bax got a job here and is heading this way soon!
Also tomorrow I'm going to see Bad Teacher with Liz. I can't wait to stare at Justin Timberlake for two hours. It's going to be great! And on Saturday I'm heading to the Taste with all those wonderful people I just mentioned so another wonderful weekend is coming up! Now if the weather would chose to act accordingly this weekend could be stellar!

Real life.
Sorry everyone (and I mean Shan, L.Durham, E, and Trace) for not writing more! So let's do a quick update shall we?
Q's party was amazing! So happy she is allowed to hang out with us at all times now!
DePauw graduation was a bummer, because it rained so I literally saw three people that I know graduate. But I still had a good time and will miss them all terribly when I go back next year. And I'm so proud of all of them and I know that they are going to do great things with their lives!
Summer time is in full swing so foolishness has ensued. I of course can't remember any of the foolishness (I need to write as these things happen, yes I know this!) but rest assured that some has gone down! One thing I do remember is I went to the craziest party ever. The owner was literally the weirdest man alive! He went around breaking stuff, having convos that had nothing to do with nothing, asking to borrow people's cell-phone chargers (excuse me sir, don't you live here?! Where is your cell-phone charger?), making drinks and randomly handing them to people, demanding I go get hair ties for him (once again this is your house go and get your own hair ties!), plopping beer into salsa and getting it over everybody), trying to drag tables onto his deck, putting his finished food on people's plates who were still eating (this literally happened to me as soon as I walked in. I then knew we were going to be in for a night o'trouble), and generally just being the worst host ever. Never will I ever go back to his house again!
Excited for Trace-face to get here next week! We're going to have some fun!
As always I love you guys and once again I promise to try and write more (and you know this promise will quickly get broken!)
love,
ktv
