SYNCING

My thoughts

Monday, December 31, 2001

ok so last night was alright, I met some interesting people who were oh so very nice to me and Sean was the best supervisor ever so I was doing great until my hair caught on fire, that was kinda scary but everyone says they can't tell a difference so whatever. I worked up in the grand stands last night, but tonight I was wristbanning which was a blast, I was nervous at first but it went over real well after I got used to it. Two down, one more to go, and the last one is gonna be the kicker...tonight after wristbanning I had to rome around and get people to stay off the blue wall and people were very hestiant as a whole to listen, but MOST of them were very friendly and polite, except the couple that cussed me out, but whatever. So, tomorrow is the last one, but also the LONGEST of the shows AND New Years Eve, so if I make it through tomorrow alive, I will be good to go, I just hope that I am doing an ok job at what they let me do, I want to be good at it and I am trying, so hopefully it's paying off. All the guests say that they love it that I am polite to them and ask them nicely and they say they appreciate my smile, so at least I am doing some good I feel. Pray for me for tomorrow.

Today was such a LONG day! UGH...I worked the FLOOR (whoo hoo-go me) for the first time during a basketball game-granted it wasn't the HAWKS but it was the ACC championship so it was sumthin....hee hee and it was a blast...I got to throw the ball back to the ref like three or four times, saved the FOX news guy's head one time so all in all it was an eventful day, then after those two women's games, the HAWKS played and I was stuck in portal 12 which I love and got to do the ropes again...BUT I had issues with my section...no one sat in their respected seats..problems problems, oh well over for now...so LONG day..did I mention it was a LONG day? Tomorrow, I am taking my nephew Adam to the movie and/or Dave and Busters...if we make it over there...then off to meet with the buds for dinner-another eventful and anticpated day! Then, onto working way too many days of Widespread Panic-oh well, I just need to get through it, then I will be ok.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! What a glorious day! Jesus' birthday and also the day of giving gifts to the people we cherish and love for celebration of the day of birth....boy did I rack up! WHOO HOO! I got lots of wonderful and thoughtful gifts. I got a very special gift from my momma. She makes baby quilts to sell in our friend's bookstore and I was heavily admiring one she was making a long time ago with Noah's ark on it under an umbrella with a heavy rain storm over them and she made me one! Hand stiched and made with love. A very good surprise, I had no clue. Also, I got Darren's Dance Grooves, where I am gonna work out and learn Britney's, Jordon Knight's and NSYNC's dance moves via Darren's dancing techniques where he breaks it down for us slow people...hee hee, exciting stuff. I also got NSYNC's Backstage Pass board game...but gee...no one wants to play..saddness...let's see I also got Shrek, Princess Diary or Diaries? (haven't seen that one yet), candy, candy, candy...hee hee...umm lets see I got Britney's new cd, and Linkin Park's cd too...I got perfume...umm Curve? by Liz Clayborne...exciting stuff! I also got a really cool NSYNC game to play on the computer with a cell phone (not a real one, but an NSYNC one) and it doesn't work on my computer...so sad! I need a game card or something-ahhhhh but oh well, maybe I can fix that...I am also getting a cell phone...not really my Christmas present, but since we are getting it tomorrow I am taking it as a very practical and needed gift...its a nokia and has voice mail and everything, VERY happy about that! I also got the complete works of NARNIA..which makes me very happy, also I gave THE GIVER and THE BAD BEGINNING to my 8 year old nephew and he already started THE BAD BEGINNING and LOVES it so I am so happy to be helping him in his reading...by my influence in some way ya know? whoo hoo....

Ok I just read an article on my *NSYNC boys, and I am very sad to say that I found out some sad news....ever since September 11th, Chris had said that he has to take medication before he gets on a plane because of fear. This saddens me a lot, I know that he has a fear of heights, but I think it's deeper than that, unless he was just joking with the interviewer about it, but I doubt it since the seriousness of the situation. Also, JC actually quoted saying his belief is in being a mennonite, which I find very interesting and he says he doesn't believe in fighting, although he would stand up for himself if someone tried "to step on him." If you wanna read this article it is in the new Cosmo that they are on the front cover of or go here It's a great article because it does teach us fans information that we didn't already know like the other articles....like the fact that Lance is Brianna's godfather, how cute is that? hee hee so from Reading Rainbow "don't take my word for it" go read it!

WHEW-have a great one....

Today, I went shopping with my dad so he could get some last minute gifts and check out cellphone deals. We were looking for a family deal and went to Verizon Wireless, Cingular, VoiceStream, and everywhere else practically to try to find a good deal. We found out that there was no way we could get two to three phones for under $40 so we thought about our findings and dad decided that after Christmas we will research again, but most likely go with the family plan at Verizon Wireless, although the woman there was entirely not nice enough to have earned our business but whatever. I am watching "While you were sleeping", oh I LOVE this movie, I want what they have so bad, "someone to laugh with." That is my goal, to find that person I am suppose to be with and who I can laugh with AND to equally want to be with me as well (that last part is the hardest to get-equal love) UGH...so anyways, my parents bought me a heater for my room so I am nice and toasty-whew, its nice to relax in my camping chair I got for $10 at Galyans with my feet up on my stool, heat on my feet, and typing away my SYNCING feelings to you all...or rather...just to Kate (hee hee) oh I just wonder if anyone else reads this thing and just doesn't respond, hee hee. I got ALL the bobbleheads...NSYNC ones that is...I am very blessed, not only to have been able to buy all the bobbleheads but to have warmth, love, shelter, food (too much actually) and family.....and friends, I am very blessed, and very thankful...oh Christmas eve eve...its a great day!

I made the deans list, whoo hoo with 4 A's and 1 B! :) I am so happy! AND I get to work the WWF Royal Rumble, how exciting is that? I can't work Creed, even though I want to cause of classes, oh well....they do start sooner than I want them too, but oh well, its gonna be a HARD semester, but that can't be helped, I am sad tonight, even though I had a good night on the whole, I had some disappointments too but oh well, I will live to see tomorrow, in T's words "God's willing" Night.

Ok, I had a great day! A very exciting day to say the least. It all started with some shopping at Borders in the Children's department and then lunch with Tonya and her friends at TGI Fridays-good NSYNC back tracking and Tonya got me an *NSYNC diary that I absolutely LOVE. Thanks Tonya! Then, I met my Tonya in the parking lot of my work to exchange Christmas gifts, she got me the Craig David cd, "The Jumping Tree" (a book-the author came and talked to our class), and the second in the series of the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, so very exciting, thanks T! Now onto my exciting night at work, I was put at portal 12 where I got to be one of the three people to hold the rope...which means when the players go into the locker rooms, I get to hold the rope so they can go without being stopped by fans, BOY do I feel short when standing next to them basketball players. Very exciting night, I felt all special and stuff. I also got picked up again, hee hee, this time by a much more attractive man, and almost my height, he said he was an air force recruiter, very cool, I gave him my email...lets see if he actually emails me. I got told at least three times that I had a very beautiful smile-sweet people tonight, so good night, and WE WON, so that is always nice! Also, I wrote an email to my teacher about my children's story possibly being sent to a publisher and she said she would be glad to help me and look it over and give me the information! How exciting! WHOO HOO, look Kate I had something to write, hee hee, later

Tonight was the one and only Britney Spears Concert, whoo hoo, hee hee, LFO opened and did ok, but they did songs that totally were not theirs including Aerosmith's walk this way and Flavor of the week (who did that one again?) but Britney's preformance, although better than LFO's, was not as good as I had hoped. Lots of pyro of course, and lots of back or coughexusemecough or FRONT vocals going on there showing some...umm....LIPSYNCING going on, but she did sing TWO slow songs all by herself it seemed so that was good. Dancing was not as good either, I thought there would be more, I like more, so all in all, not so pleased, and THANKFUL I did not pay for it. NSYNC does SO MUCH better in a show, but anyways, I was good tonight, a very good usher I think so that makes me happy. Tomorrow I work b-ball games, excitement, I think two of them tomorrow, college I think....GA State even, whoo hoo, anyways my brother and sis in law came into town tonight from Ohio so I spent time with them for like two hours and work tomorrow then they leave for London on Monday, nice quality time there, oh well, talk later.

Yesterday was such a blast! After exams of course! I found out that I have at least 2 A's-WHOO HOO! That makes me so happy! Anyways, after exams were over and done with, we went out to celebrate, we meaning me, Tonya, Beth, Rachel, Wendy, and Michelle, we all went to dinner at Felini's for pizza and salads, Cent. Park and walked through all the lights and ice skated there. We danced like dorks-it was a ton of fun, then we went and watched some of Shrek-LOVE that movie, then onto "THE LIBRARY" which was NOT a library, we played pool and air hockey, so much fun, Michelle and I lost 3 out of 4 games of billards from Rachel and Beth, GRRR, but we played well I think. Rachel and Beth gave me a HUGE COKE BOTTLE (plastic)-its a bank, called THE ORLANDO FUND, cause I am always broke and they said I need to start saving now for my permanent move to O-town so they started if for me and I promised to add to it contuniously and I can't even take the top off, I even tried, hee hee, they glued it shut, they know me too well. So, anyways it was a blast, I didn't get home till 3 AM-oops parents not too happy, oh well. Today, I went shopping and literally ran into my brother and sis-in-law, nephew Evan, and neice Sean, it was fun we walked around and hung out! Good family fun! So, tomorrow I am working Britney Spears concert, fun stuff, hope all the kids are good! I will be posting soon with lots of fun surveys-whoo hoo!

If I were a work of art, I would be Salvador Dali's Persistence of Memory.

I am a surreal landscape composed of several disjointed and bizarre components. I like to keep an eye on the time, although the very concept is fluid for me. People are never sure what they are seeing when they look at me.

Which work of art would you be? The Art Test

Today I got my Joey bobblehead! WHOO HOO-and believe me they had plenty so it was no rush to get it, hee hee. I went to the bookstore which I should never do again, because I spend WAY too much time and money in those stores because of my children's lit class...darn class, hee hee anyways, I got more gifts today, I am almost done shopping, only a few more to go then done for this year. It JUST started to get chillier today in ATL, its been unseasonally warm and that has dampened a lot of people's Christmas moods, but I have been in full Christmas swing since July when I start listening to my *NSYNC Home for Christmas album. So, I have a crush...ok thats all I am gonna say...I have to stop lol...anyways later

ok so today was HECTIC! WHEW, I still have not completed all that I have to do for school, BUT I have made a dent kinda...I finished my Global Issues paper, although it is kinda a TINY bit shorter than it should be, but I do not care one bit, hee hee and I finished refining my family paper, I happy with it, and I did my genogram of my family, happy happy, AND I did my story for journalism, what I have failed to do so far is study for my two finals tomorrow, but I will have time for that I HOPE! Then, after that just two more finals on next Thursday and I will be done...D.O.N.E done :) I will then be SO happy! WHEW, its wearing me out just writing about all the stuff I have done and have to do. I will be back with better news hopefully, later.

Tonight, I went to see Craig David at The Riviera Club in Atlanta. It was cool, except since it was a free concert, I guess, he only played for like thirty minutes which was too short in my opinion. He is a very talented singer, he did some flows and sang on cue and when I would have lost my breath, he kept going like ten times more. Very impressive voice live and acoustic. I enjoyed his preformance although it definitely could have been longer. I realized tonight how happy and fortunate I am to have gotten my life back. Several people don't understand that I ever really lost it, but I had at one time, now it is finally becoming mine again. I feel like I have my friends back, my workplace back, my home back, my school back, and everything is better than before so I am very happy with that. I am also realizing how blessed I am with security, comfort, and people who know me. I know this is kinda confusing but the important thing is that I am realizing happiness slowly. So, I have a global issues paper to write, a story for journalism to do, my family paper to edit and complete, two exams to study for and all this to be done for Thursday, AHHHHHH! oh well, got to study I guess.

Well today was a better day than last night, thank goodness. I am really starting to enjoy being at the family/friends section at the Hawks games, even though I sometimes get a hard time there. It's where all the family/friends of the players or employees sit so mostly everyone there has credientials and they always think they are better than everyone else. But since I am getting to know them better and they are getting to know me, its going better. So today was Hawks, another REALLY close game, 103-104 amazingly enough against the Raptors, and THEY won, jerks hee hee, so then I came home and tried to calm down from the stresses of work and think about all the crap I have to do this week and squeeze in my wonderful break of shopping and the Craig David concert as well. Tomorrow, I am going shopping with my family to get the Lance bobblehead, cause I am a collector now since I broke down and purchased the JC one and to also con't to spend tons of money on gifts. So, hopefully I will keep my mind off the guy I am trying hard not to think of or like. Ok I didn't even make it through one post without mentioning him, UGH, oh well.

Today sucked! You know it really sucks to like someone. Let me clarify...it sucks to like someone who you really shouldn't. Still confused? Well, I can't give much more specifics than that, but it sucks to like someone who may not like you back, who you can't like, who you aren't SUPPOSE to like. It sucks. Tonight was the U2 concert and don't get me wrong U2 is GREAT! BUT the fans sucked. I am using the word "suck" a lot in this post, and I can't help it, its the best word to describe tonight. The fans were rude and not very complying to anything I had to say. I had to get three guys ejected for smoking marijiana and one dude was drunk as a skunk and he kept grabbing and elbowing the girl next to him, security went to get him and he ran...the security guard had to chase him down and jump on him literally to catch him....I had to ask the SAME people over and over and over again to go to their seats and NOT stand in the walkway, stairway, aisleway, portal way, anybody else's way, it was just bad "GO TO YOUR OWN SEATS" GRRR I hate people! :) lol anyways I really don't, its just that tonight was not a good night for me at all. On top of all that, my friend ( a new friend) whom I am trying to get to know and eventually hang with, cause he is really cool, just told me he might be leaving for awhile and that sucks too. oh well, sorry for all the suckage events, Kate where are you? you aren't online and I need to chat :( oh well maybe the next post will be happier (I hope)
