Is it ok for a 21 year old girl to still have posters of boys on her wall? And by that I mean, as my desktop background. I mean, am I too old for that sort of thing?
I mean goodness when you think of all the boys out there; Neil Patrick Harris, Chris Colfer, John Barrowman... I can only think of three openly gay actors? That's upsetting. What is my world coming too? (And sorry, that was a very unfunny joke).
Until next time

And for once it might be grand
Do my interests seem insane to anyone else? Or, you know, well, I'm pretty sure that most third/fourth year engineering students are not doing what I do, but you know, I may be wrong.
So for the past few days I've done some cool stuff. I have gone to GOMA, which is really cool because they've brought back the Aernout Mik video (Pulverous) and Yayoi Kusama Infinity Room (Soul under the moon) who I'm going to say tie for my favourite modern artists (I'm sorry, I'm cliche, but I love Degar). But at the moment they just have some really fun things, a two-storey double slide, a exhibit with live birds and a room filled entirely with purple balloons. So much fun!
Then today, I got paid to see a movie with children. We took the OSH kids to see Megamind, which isn't actually a bad movie, go figure. And yeah, I didn't even have to miss any of it to take kids to the bathroom or anything (Score!). We did get into the movies an hour before it started but hey, they we're pretty good about it. I did briefly run into my friend, Sean, who works at an after school care that is pretty close to ours, they do training with us, but you know, was only able to exchange waves from across the cinemas. You know, us both looking after mass amounts of children.
At the moment I'm starting to get very into Doogie Howser, I found out it was released in 1989, so big points in my book. And it has Neil Patrick Harris and Max Casella!!! in it (Now, I've officially told every social media site I belong to this fact, I'm just excited...).
Oh and speaking of repeating stuff online. My status on the library website is DELINQUENT (All Caps) which is hilarious, because you know me, the quiet, nerdy, polite one is after all the trouble maker. But you know, I don't even have any overdue books or fines or anything. I think it may be because I take the 'don't write on other people's things' as more of a suggestion rather than an actual rule and some people may not be totally for that.
I still think Lewis Hine is the greatest photojournalist in the world, ever. And am totally an Alex Carpenter Fangirl. (Though, I think I may have started Fangirling the fricken film critic) (and when did Fangirling need a capital letter?).
Until next time,
Katherine

You don't understand, you're a legend man, to us all.
So I kind of fail miserably at doing things. My room is halfway clean but nowhere near finished and my costume is still a long way off (I really need to go to the fabric store).
I have done my two days of before Christmas camp and they were great. I got paired with a little girl with autism but really unless you knew the signs of autism you wouldn't be able to tell. She was lovely. And we had fun together. And on the second day I got paired with a little boy with an I.I. And ya'll should be jealous because he is the coolest kid ever!(Do I say that about all my buddies and all the kids on camp, well they all are!!! And top points go to one little boy who told me he always gets girl first time leaders as buddies, he was adorable!). I've met him on camp before and figured it was only a matter of time before we got to be buddies and heck yes, jealous you should be.
When you're on camp you don't really think of the label that your buddy...has been labeled with ADHD, ODD, CD, ASD, I.I, Bipolar. They are just kids. But afterwards and a little before you can't help but think that you have mad skillz, and skills that actually make a difference in the world. And you kind of feel good.
My little clique also were horrible, horrible, anti-social people during the two days. It's kind of funny because we make up quite a few of the leadership teams in January. And I know, I know, I know, it's horrible and we should have made more of an effort to socialise with the new leaders because well, there is enough politics without us adding any more.
I remember having a three people dance party in the conference room, while our debrief set up debrief. Geeking out about Darren Criss for a large majority of camps. Playing chase the balloon while the glee rocky horror soundtrack played. Never getting to the end of 'Back to Hogwarts' ever. And playing 'Harry Freaking Potter' while on a trip to Maccas.
I must learn patience with all people. Just saying.
Until next time

I know a small amount myself
So after my rant yesterday which I reveal my hostile, annoying side. I'm going to talk today about my leisurely annoying side.
Also as a side note (see that there, yeah), blogger does not like to correct my spelling mistakes and it's a little bit...grrr... I type fast ok, my spelling is quite stumbly.
It is Uni holidays, thank goodness. Even though I only had uni 3 days a week this year so really, my whole life is holidays (mixed with a lot of stress). But anyway everyone always asks 'have you got anything planned' and my answer to this is 'I plan to watch a lot of TV' which is no lie. Besides doing 2 weeks and 2 days of camp and going to work occasionally, I am not planning on doing anything.
Well, that's a lie. I plan on watching, reading, painting, writing, drawing and making anything that I want. That is my plan. To enjoy myself as much as possible with the things I like. And, so far, it's been working well.
I have watched the original Star Wars movies, caught up on the Glee episodes I missed while away, read 'the money-less man; by Mark Boyle, used tea to dye a corset style shirt for a cosplay costume, went to a new leaders induction for the charity I volunteer for to meet the new recruits, and am currently listening to the PotterCast DH part 1 review.
People have been polite and have asked me the 'what have you been up to' type questions. And really, this is not the crazy exciting or even leave my bedroom type activities, but I'm doing exactly what I want to be doing. It's so freaking nice.
Until next time.
