Kait Explains It All

I Will Love Again...

Sheesh, I’ve been a very busy bee.

In addition to working 6 days a week
and going to the gym 6 daysa week,
I’ve been helping my bestfriend move.
And it’s eating up all my blogging time.
Damn responsibility, health, and friendship.
Ha.
Somehow I’ve found the time to readseven
books though.

I can’t help my obsession with dystopian &
paranormal YA[Young Adult] novels.
It’s a sickness.

I just finished reading five different YA novels.
-The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
-Across The Universe by Beth Revis
-Wither by Lauren DeStefano
-Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
-Tiger’s Voyage by Colleen Houck

I do read other, more age appropriate books though.
I recently read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo &
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson.
I really want to read the third book as well,
but thepaperback doesn’t come out until mid February
and Ihave a serious bout of OCD when it comes to my
bookcollection.It’s borderline ridiculous.

After reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo I went
to see the American film version. I'm still interested in
watching the Swedish version of the entire trilogy, but
I really wanted to watch the American version first.
Anyhow, the film was amazing. They captured the book
nearly perfectly. It's one of the only times
I have been able to say that I liked the film
almost as much as the book.
They changed a few things & left a couple
parts out, but that's to be expected.
And I think I'm in love with Rooney Mara.
Seriously. In love.

Rooney Mara

Work It Out.

So I went to the gym today.
And I feel absolutely amazing.

I feel like I got rid of a bunch
of pent up frustration and
a the teensy bit of anger I
was holding onto.
Well, maybe more than
a teensy bit.

Tomorrow I'm heading back into
the gym before work at 4am.

I actually wrote a poem today.
I can't even remember the
last time I wrote anything.
I had the urge to write,
so I did.
It's not my best work,
but it's something.

I think I'm going to call
up the local college &
try to re-enroll.
I need to keep busy.
& most of all I need
to finish my degree so
I can get the hell out of
retail.
I got a promotion to
a managerial position
earlier in the year,
but it's so not worth it.
I need out!

I'm feeling pretty good
about the future, for the
first time ever.

Longer, wittier posts to come.

2012: New Beginnings

It's Kait.
I'm back. I know, I've said this before.
But I swear I really mean it this time.

I finally have my priorities straight.
Not that blogging is all important
in my life, but writing is.

I haven't been writing nearly as
much as I should, but my mind is
clear now.
I don't have anyone fogging
up my life.

I've gotten rid of my dead beat
boyfriend of nearly two years.
And boy, does it feel good.
At first it didn't feel so good,
it hurt like hell actually,
but it got easier & easier.
Especially after I realized
how much of a douche he is.
Love is blind.
But that's over now.

Now I'm back to working on
myself.
I joined the gym with my
best friend.
I'm 100% serious about getting
into better shape.
I just hope I can motivate my
bestie to do that same.

Anyhow, other random posts
to come.
