Hi dear, I was just wondering if you are going to all time low's hometown show for spring tour by any chance?

not planning on it, I don’t know what my finals schedule is, and I need to get all of my stuff out of my room to go home! :) I wish I could though, that would be so much fun.

Thank you, anon for your concern, but I would care a lot more about your opinion if I knew who you were. 

I haven’t smoked anything in weeks. I guarantee you I’m not addicted.
If you’d like to have a discussion about this, and my life I’d be more than happy to oblige— but I’d rather talk to YOU, not an anonymous figure.

Are there any fads that you find really stupid?

Crocs, and 14 year old girls at concerts in teeny tiny dresses

What's your least favorite genre of music?

Probably country, but there’s still country that I enjoy.

What is one thing that you are not very forgiving of?

I am not very forgiving of people being nasty to/about my friends and/or family. I’m not very forgiving of repeat offender liars, and I’m not very forgiving of really fake people.

I know that’s not one thing, but when you put it all together, you get a couple people who I just can’t forgive for certain aspects of  my life.

Have you ever had a long-term relationship with someone?

long-term, no. 
That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be, it’s just that things haven’t worked out for one reason or another.  

Dec 28, 2010
Have you ever done anything that you're ashamed of? If so, what?

I can’t think of anything I’m ashamed of, but I’ve certainly had moments that I wouldn’t like to relive.
Like blacking out at my friend’s semiformal a few weeks ago.. only the second time I’ve ever blacked out. It wasn’t on purpose, I’m not completely sure how it happened, and I’m not proud of it.

I’m not proud of a few decisions I’ve made this semester. 

Dec 28, 2010
What is your biggest pet peeve?

 People who will look you in the face and flat our tell you your opinion is wrong. IT’S AN OPINION. IT CAN’T BE WRONG. Based on false premises, maybe, but not wrong. You can disagree until you turn blue in the face, but that doesn’t mean their WRONG.

Heartbreak

is more than just “oh this boy was everything I wanted and then he broke up with me” QQ

It’s watching one of your best friends walk out of your life without so much as an explanation.

It’s not being home to say goodbye not just one, but two of the dogs who have been in your life for the last 10 years, and watched you grow up.

It’s listening to your parents fight and stress over the dumbest things.

It’s wanting so badly just to talk to that one person who you know can make you smile, but not being able to talk the way you used to because something or someone interfered.

It’s wanting to tell someone how you feel, but fearing rejection and an end to a friendship.

It’s growing up, and growing away from everything and everyone who were once your entire world.

I just want someone to pick up the pieces. It seems every time I try, I get cut.

I miss you too! when will i see you again?

Hopefully in the not so distant future! Definitely Cincinnati Dirty Work Tour if not sooner :)

I basically enter the drawing for the gift exchange. Basically, it would be much easier if we all just sat in a circle, pulled out 30 bucks, and passed it to the person to the right

hahaha yeah, us too. I have 3 brothers and an aunt involved. We draw names and have a $50 limit. Then we all buy for our parents and our nephews, and my parents buy for all of us. It works nicely, but I miss giving all of my brothers presents.

Dec 27, 2010
I just love you.

I just love you too. Miss you girly :)

Dec 27, 2010
Dear Katie, I love you so much and I hate when people try their hardest to put you down. You are such a wonderful person and you always try your hardest to be kind to people. Thats such a great quality to have. You always give people a chance and thats really rare these days. You are always there for your friends and give really great advice. You truly have a heart of gold and Im just glad I have you in my life. We may not talk that much, but I always know I can count on you. So all the anon haters can go fuck themselves. kthanks <3

#$%^& Things that make me smile. 1. Karissa 2. Karissa 3. Karissa 4. Some other people :P

<3. Love you girl.

Dec 27, 2010
it's good. Since im considered an adult, I get less gifts :/ Still an exceptional christmas

haha welcome to the club. I’m 20, and have 2 nephews, I fell quickly on the food chain, but it’s okay. I had a great time with my family :)

Dec 27, 2010
I just think you are teh beez knees and i miss the crap outta you, and no matter how much hate you get i hope you know they are all lies and you are just splendidly wonderful and gorgeous, and i miss you extremely! thats what id like to share with you.

hahaha I love you and I miss you too <3.

Nothing to say but I do have a question. I'm just curious if you can change anything about yourself what would you change? If you could change anything about your life in general what would you change? If you could change something about your state what would would you change? If you could change something about your country what would you change and if you could change something about your generation what would you change?

If I could change myself I’d give myself more confidence and more drive to get things done. If I could change anything I’d my life, I’d eliminate the stupid bullshit drama that keeps tearing my friends apart. If I could change something about Illinois I would rid it of the bullshit politics that have been played for so long, and get rid of the dirty bastards. If I could change something about my country I’d make it more accepting, and more understanding. If I could change something about my generation I’d change the fact that no one seems to know how to communicate face to face anymore. I know this is ironic given that I am responding to an anonymous message via my computer, but even some of my friends who I speak to on a daily basis. They deal with their drama generally through text message, facebook messages or email. No one has the balls just to look at someone and tell them how they really feel anymore. Myself included sometimes. It’s sad, really.

how was your christmas?

pretty great, thanks. How was yours?

dear katie: 1. please don't live your life on social networking websites. you're far too smart and you should spend more time with the people who are actually around you, not tweeting or on tumblr/fb 24/7. 2. you're not ugly, shut up other anon.

Dear anon:

1. I don’t spend my life on social networking websites. I really don’t. Not nearly as much as people supposedly think I do, as a matter of fact this is my first time on my computer today. I don’t spend nearly as much time on my computer or my phone as I used to, feel free to ask just about anyone I spend time with. I get tweets to my phone, and I rarely ever really read through them unless I’m bored or they’re directed to me. My facebook is turned to in times of curiosity or boredom, my twitter in turned to when I want to say something that I can’t necessarily say out loud, and my tumblr comes from the heart, as that is one of the points of a personal blog. Please don’t think you know me or how much time I spend on the computer. I can show you people who you can give that advice to  need that advice. 
While I’m home, I spend most of the day with my family/friends, and I generally only get on the computer now before bed to check updates or out of boredom. I appreciate your concern, but I feel as though you clearly don’t know me well enough to be saying this. 
2. Thanks. 

Dec 26, 2010
i love you!

I love you too! Miss you! <3

Dec 26, 2010
katie, you're gorgeous. anon must be jealous.

:3 thanks Sonja. I think you’re looking in a mirror though, girl.

<3.

Dec 26, 2010
I'm glad you don't think highly of yourself. You shouldn't you're just an ugly bitch.

:’) aw, anon. You always know just what to say to make my day.

Dec 26, 2010
I bet you think you're prettier than you are.

Well, I guess Christmas is over.. lol

But if you’re right anon, I must be pretty fucking ugly. I’ve never been one to think too highly of myself. Thanks for adding to that! You’re a doll, really. xoxo

Merry Christmas Kay-Tee!

Merry Christmas duder :)

Dec 26, 2010

Good for them. They’re out of my life, and I prefer it that way. I hope they’re happy, and I hope I never have to hear another fucking word from either of them.

That part of my life is gone. I will always be appreciative of the time that he helped me through, but I will never forgive him for the hell he put me through.

Merry Christmas, anon. Thanks for letting me know, but I really just don’t care.

Day 10: New Year resolutions.

  • To lose weight (real original, I know).
  • To vastly improve my GPA.
  • To continue to make new friends, and keep the old.
  • To be happy again.
Dec 25, 2010
Day 9: The end of last school year/the beginning of this one.

Amazing. What I’d wanted and been looking for in the College experience. Good people, good times, just all and all feeling good. 

I want that to come back next semester. I want to feel good again.

Dec 25, 2010
Day 8: The funnest getaway.

The grammar of the title of this day is bothering me, but anyways— going to visit Katie at her house in Wisconsin was so fun. The ride up there and the insanity, the stars, Quelf, the boat, the water… it was just perfect.

I also love love loved Seattle too.

Dec 25, 2010
Day 7: Your birthday.

I dreaded this day. 
I felt like a waste of space, time, and air. Like I hadn’t accomplished anything in life, and like I wasn’t worthy of having lived so long. It made me even more scared for the future, and made me question a lot of who I am.


The day itself was okay; typical messages from friends and family via phone, facebook, etc.

Got ready and went to dinner with friends; less than I expected showed up, but it ended up being a great group anyways. Typical me, I was with all guys. After dinner, drove around and got alcohol, went to the hookah bar and drank and smoked, and just had a really nice time relaxing with my friends. Good conversations were had, and I acquired my friend’s sweater which I absolutely love and still wear. Went back to my dorm and watched my all time favorite movie with the guy I liked at the time, and went to sleep feeling accomplished and with a smile on my face.

It was a good day, and easily one I won’t forget anytime soon. 

Dec 25, 2010
Day 6: Your best friend(s).
  • Ashley Hasler
  • Katie Thoresen
  • Kim Smith
  • Amber Bryant
  • Spencer Dees
  • Weston Oberg 
  • Collin Campana
  • Nate Holstein
  • Damian Kramer
  • Josh Yomtoob
  • Ryan Fink

Not a doubt in my mind. :’)

Dec 25, 2010
Day 5: The most memorable moment.

Amber blowing chunks all over the hookah bar. A lot about that night, but specifically that moment haha. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told that story.


Dec 25, 2010
Day 4: The worst day.

The day Bailey got put down. I’d already been having a rough week, it had been my first chance to sleep in, and so I ignored my parents’ phone calls, and missed the chance to say goodbye. Things only went downhill from there for the semester.  

Dec 25, 2010
Day 3: The best day.

Not gonna lie, my 20th birthday, for as much as I dreaded it.. was pretty good.

Good friends, good food, good drinks, good times. :)


Dec 25, 2010
Day 2: Relationship(s).

I was never in a “committed relationship” this year. 

There was the guy who I may or may not have been suckered into ~hanging out with because I was a Freshman, and he was 22 and would buy my friends drinks…but I put a stop to it. There was the kid who I finally got away from after too much drama and heartache on both ends, and then there was the boy who.. well.. I’m not exactly sure what happened, but it was fun while it lasted hahahaha.

yerp.

better luck in 2011? I hope so!

Dec 25, 2010
Day 1: A few things you will never forget in 2010.


  • New Years Day — Sledding with some of my best friends.
  • Coming home to surprise Ashley for Class of 2010 tour :).
  • Bambozle Roadshow adventures.
  • Country Throwdown adventures.
  • Warped Tour adventures.
  • The road-trip to visit Katie.
  • Summer as a whole; best friends, family, over 20 concerts, and a smile almost constantly on my face.
  • My dad experiencing All Time Low.
  • Kofenya training; my first night back in Oxford.
  • The stars in oxford on summer nights.
  • Truly feeling like I belonged at Miami for the first time.
  • Losing Bailey and Barnum.
  • Feeling real heartbreak for the first time.
  • The hardest and worst semester of school of my life.
  • Losing some of my friends.

It’s been a rough year, but in the end.. I don’t know that I’d change a thing. For the pain, the stress, and everything I’ve been through this year, for better or for worse it has made me who I am, and will continue to allow me to grow and change.
