That Awkward moment....

Oh the awkward moment when you hardly know someone that you live with, your in the same room, and cant think of something to talk about with them. Then there is that increasing silence, building to the point where you have to just pretend to be doing something REALLY important instead of "pinning". Oh then there is that ever more increasingly awkward moment when she starts talking and you go to answer but she's on the phone and next thing you know there are curse words spilling out of her mouth. All you can think is. "Bring back my stinkin' 9x13 pan that you "borrowed" without permission and then gave to your big scary boyfriend who has had it for over two weeks.   OH yeah and then you should leave so that I can continue "pinning" in peace." (seams a little harsh I know... but refer to prior post)
That is my awkward moment of the day...

Cousins and Country Music!

I LOVE the simple times that I get to spend with my roommate and cousin, Alex! Sometimes we're crazy, sometimes were serious (rarely), sometimes we play card games,sometimes we watch Psych, sometimes we talk about boys, and sometimes we just sit and watch country music videos. I'm so glad that I have such an amazing cousin and friend in my life. I don't know what I would do with out her. So this one is to you Al-pal, Ali-cat, Dibblet, Al, Cricket, Cherp, Cherpi, Cherpi McFlerpinheimer, Pen/ E-bay lover, pal-pal, Cous, Tinky Winky, Sparkling Cider Connoisseur, and My Best Friend! Love ya Alex!

Here is a movie just to prove how much love there is! ;)

HELP! What do we do?

WARNING! THIS POST IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!;)I don't really know what to do, thus the post. I have this new roommate, Christine and before she moved in, the old roommate told us that she(Christine) asked if we would have a problem with her having her boyfriend sleep over. Well, we do! Its really uncomfortable to have ANY boy sleep over especially a big black guy. He's really nice but he is a little odd and he has a lot of "different ideas". So at the beginning of the week, she was here every other day and then she would sleep over at his house. Which is fine. If she chooses to do that, that's her thing. Not mine, it makes me sad that she chooses to do that, but its her choice. Well yesterday, her boyfriend came over for the first time. They were hanging out in her bedroom when all of a sudden we hear her shreek and door lock. It was awkward because Alex and I kinda figured what was going on. Being as uncomfortable as we were, we just left. We went and walked around Walmart for a little while and then went to Subway to hang out with Kailey for about a half hour or so, hoping that things might have "simmered down" back at the apartment. Alex and I just locked ourselves in our room and went to bed and they left to his apartment soon after that. They were gone before Kailey got home from work at 12:30. All of us were a little creeped out but we didn't know what to say or if we should say anything. Well then today Alex and I were hanging out waiting for our friends to get off work when Christine and her boyfriend came home. They hung out for a little while before the door shut again. By this point our friends were at our apartment hanging out. Then the door locked AND the light went off. Now I can't judge. I don't know what is going on behind the door. Maybe they are just hanging out, maybe they are making out, but the way it seems to us is that they are having sex. I have NO IDEA what to do! I want to talk to her, but how do you start that conversation? "Hey Christine, are you and John having sex in your room?".... um i think that would be WAY more awkward then just ignoring it. But either way its uncomfortable, against the apartment rules, and something that non of the rest want in our home. 

I turn to you my trusted friends for help or suggestions. I've thought of a few things like;
* Talk to her, Play church music really loudly when we think something is going on(she's lds so she would get it), Telling the landlord- I don't want her to hate us. etc. I just don't even know.
ANY input is welcome-- just email or message me on Face Book!
Thank you! Sincerely,

Kaci-- and probably Alex and Kailey.

I'm not ready for THAT kind of college....VL Club, UNITE!

Okay, SO I have quite the story to share (beware its long). On Wednesday night the 6th season of Psych started up. Well my roommates Alex and Kailey, and I are BIG fans! So what do we do? We decide to have a pineapple party-- if you watch the show then you get the joke, other wise it just sounds dumb. ANY WAY, the show didn't start until 11, so we invited everyone over at 10:45. At 10:40, my roommate Whitney calls me and says, "Someone is going to come over and ask you to True Badger Night." In case you don't know... True Badger Night, on a full moon at mid-night, under the bell tower, people take someone and kiss for a whole minute and become "true badgers". If you don't have anyone to go with then you wear red, find someone else wearing red, and you kiss them. Whitney had been trying to get me to go all week, BUT, I am not the type of person to kiss a random stranger, so I had said no. You can imagine my complete shock when Whitney called me and wouldn't tell me who. I'm freaking out so much that I don't even remember what I said to her. I try to hold my frustration, fear, and shock in when our friends arrive, but I don't think it worked very well. I waited for 54 minute until my phone vibrated, I was ecstatic thinking it was Whitney texting me to tell me that the boy had changed his mind. To my surprise, it wasn't. I was our friend and roommate of Whitneys' boyfriend, Nathan. He was sitting 2 people away from me so for a moment, I was slightly confused. THEN, it hit me like a ton of bricks as I read the text, which said, " I wouldn't text you if i could get you alone..But do you want to go to True Badger night with me?" I was utterly shocked! I hardly know this kid! I've hung out with him twice, and he's really shy and quiet so I don't know that much about him. Not to mention that he looks IDENTICAL to my 10 year old cousin, AND, I've never been kissed. I contemplated my options, Text him back, not text him back; well I have to text him back, he saw me read the text. Okay, my response; HECK NO BUDDY!, Um, no... sorry, Sure (bad idea!), or be completely honest? I choose the latter, saying "um I would, but to be completely honest, I've never been kissed and I don't think that tonight is the right night. I'm sorry." In doing this, I felt like a TOTAL jerk, like a horrible person, I wanted to bury my head and cry. But instead, I stayed where I was, acted totally poised until he texted back saying it was fine, but let me tell you, he did not look fine. At that moment, I felt the weight of the world. When the show was over, and he was leaving, I followed him out and apologized once more. He was nice and understanding but I still felt horrible. Whitney came in a few minutes later and grabbed my hand pulling me toward my room, I looked to Alex longingly, knowing I was about to be chewed out, and gave her a look of, I NEED YOUR HELP! She followed and we all went into my bedroom where Whit talked to me about how bad it made him feel, only making me feel worse. I texted him again saying " I really am sorry Nate. I'm honored to have been asked by such a great guy like your self, It was just to much for me to handle tonight." We texted for a while and decided to hang out again soon, so things are better, still awkward, but better. Well afterwards, Alex and I went on a walk. As we walked I realized, Why do I feel bad? Why do I feel bad for not giving away something that is important to me. Yeah, it might be a simple kiss, BUT, to me, that is important. I don't just go throw myself at every boy I see. I respect myself enough not to do that. Not saying that those who kiss a lot are bad, but for me, a kiss is something that means that you care for someone. So basically, this story taught me a lesson, Be proud of who you are! Even if its something as silly as being part of the VL club at 18! :) That's my thought of the day.

College!

College is AWESOME! I absolutely LOVE it! I have way to much homework and way to much fun with my roommates and friends. My roommates Alex (my cousin), Kailey, and I love to play card games. Last week we ended up throwing cards at each other until one hand went over the couch and into the garbage can. We play charades and Sweetish Twister.  Its all just so fun! BUT my favorite part is every night at 9:50 we go to our cute neighbors house and dance to 3 songs for 10 min. Every night except Sunday. Oh Heavens! It is SO MUCH FRICKEN FUN! I've gone EVERY night!
The down side of College; homesickness, being OOBER responsible, and having to pay $2.00 for 1 load of laundry (one for wash and one for dry). Homesickness is commonly cured by cleaning, loud music, and calling home frequently. The responsibility; just happens. I often wish that I could just leave my dishes in the sink or even load the dishwasher instead of filling the sink with water and wasting 15 min washing, drying, and putting away. I also wish I didn't have to make dinner every night. I run out of ideas. Its really hard only cooking for one person, and I can only handle so many left overs. I hate being financial responsible. Its so much harder now. I cant just go out and buy what ever food. I have to plan and take a list, or go with out a lot of good foods. I have eaten so much toast in the last few weeks it's CRAZY! I just get lazy and cheap and bread, butter, and jelly are cheaper, and they satisfy my hunger.
So that is my "crazy" College life. Not really exciting, but it is for me. Its new and fun. It doesn't even feel real,  until I get annoyed with one of my roommates or I just want my own space-- and then I realize... I'm stuck here. Its not going to end for a while, so I've got to make the best of things and take the positive out of life. Then that's when I think, "How many weeks till I go home?" Ill try to post some pix of me and my roommates soon, but who knows it might not be for a while :)

Catch up

Well, it's been way to long since I've written anything so I guess I will just give a catch up on my life.
I've been working like crazy! One of the other pages left to go on a mission and they haven't hired anyone else, they just gave us all more hours. Along with that, school. I'm in 2 AP classes and pre calc-- the hardest class EVER! Then every Thursday I go to special needs mutual-- the BEST THING EVER!!!! I love it so much. I get to help special needs people,which is exactly what I want to do when I graduate. So that's pretty much it. I asked a guy to Sadie's last night, so we will see how that goes. I hope he responds soon. The suspense is KILLING me!! :)
If anyone is interested, I will be preforming in a benefit concert for my singing teacher Ruth Clark. She is super AMAZING I love her and her family. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months back and has been doing chemo. Things are looking good but the hospital bills are OUTRAGEOUS! So if anyone would like to come and hear me and others sing, it's on November 13 at 7:30. It's free, but they ask for donations. It will be really cool and amazing.
Then on November 18 and 19, I am in a ballroom class and we have our concert that night. So just let me know if you want to go and I can get you more info.
Well... That's all folks! TTFN
Love Kaci

Back to school

WOW! I cannot believe that school starts up again in a week from tomorrow!  Where did my summer go?  I'm so not ready for school! I haven't even gone shopping for school clothes. Normally I've that done by the 1st week of August. I guess that is not the case this year.
Honestly I'm freaking out! Going to a new school for my senior year... what was I thinking? No, it will be good, but it is a bit intimidating not having ANY idea where my classes are and only knowing a handful of people there. I know that its just the first couple of days(or weeks) getting use to everything. Hope all goes well. :)
