New Fears

So can we talk about the new fear I have? I sit in class most days thinking, "This is how I'm going to die." I have serious anxiety after the VA Tech shootings that some crazy is going to come in and shoot up my classes. And it's scary. Sometimes when I'm not paying attention, I try to think of the best escape route. Unfortunately I sit near the door in one of my classes, so I've pretty much decided that I'm a goner. Then yesterday I was in class and I thought about my best chances of climbing out the window. Problem is, the ceilings are like 15 feet high and the windows are really high up too. So I'm pretty much a goner in that class as well. Maybe I should just start paying attention and quit daydreaming.

Now my next fear deserves a disclaimer. I know at least one of my readers is preggers, so I don't want to scare them. But I have known that I wasn't meant to 'birth no babies.' And now I know that there is a condition to go along with it. It's called tokophobia. I read about it on my new girly obsession, Jezebel, and I went on to read the article here. Although I've never had any physical abuse, I think this basically explains how I feel about childbirth. It really does scare the living shit out of me. I talked to Baloo about it last night and he was pretty cool about it. He had some questions for me and I think he was interested in at least looking into it. But I think it's nice that there's actually cases of this happening. Which makes hypochondriac Kiki feel so much better.

So, what are your fears?

Howdy Kids

Right now I'm having a hard time figuring out why I can't buy a $12M home. This is my favorite site of the moment, and seeing that I owe money on my credit card, it doesn't look like I'll be buying $12M properties anytime soon. However, I did look at islands in the Indian Ocean....maybe.

The tailgate with Kipper was major fun. I got some of the pictures downloaded and I don't remember half of them. It was fun to see so many people and to reconnect with Kipper. I'll be heading back down to South Bend for the MSU game, and I hope that we have a better showing than we did last weekend.

It's so exciting to read about Mrs. Pink Shoe. She just moved to NYC and lives in the coolest apartment ever. Go check her out and see what I'm talking about.

Grad school is AMAZING! I'm so glad I'm here. I'm in classes with amazing professors and amazing people from around the world. I have to say that I'm quite liking my experience at MSU already. Not too much to complain about.

Baloo and I are chugging along quite wonderfully. Can you believe we will have been together for a whole year next month?! It totally blows my mind. I really want to get him the new iPod for our anniversary/his birthday but I don't think I'll be able to afford it right now. Maybe if he's good he'll get it for an early birthday present.

Apparently I'm a real person who does real things, and that frightens me. I've been under an enormous amount of stress for a variety of reasons. Last weekend my stomach decided to stop functioning because I filled it with food. I fell asleep in Baloo's lap and he told me I farted. Twice. I was mortified. When we first started dating I made it very clear to him that girls didn't fart or poop. Now he knows we do both. The secret is out.

Not much more to report, kids. Sorry about that. I am going to a gun demonstration tomorrow, so I'm pretty excited about that. Apparently I get to fire a gun and learn gun safety and everything. That should make for interesting blog fodder. Here's hoping I'm the best shooter out on the range!

School and Such

I don't know if y'all noticed. Look up. No, silly, don't look up from your computer. Scroll back up to the top of my page. See the new quote? It's from my favorite movie of all time. It takes a special kind of hag to enjoy a movie with both Judy Garland and Gene Kelly!

School is awesome! I started this week. There are some interesting folks in the class and I'm sure as time goes on, I'll be able to tell you some of the wacky things they do and say. There's even a SMC chick in my class! I'm telling you, ND folks are everywhere.

I'm so super excited about this weekend. I'm going down to the home opener where ND plays Georgia Tech. It's not so much the game, but the experience. Kipper is hosting his annual tailgate (where he promises to have a margarita machine that plugs into his car's cigarette lighter) and it's also the minority tailgate. I've told Baloo that we will hit up both. I think he's a little nervous about hitting up the minority tailgate. Honestly, I'm a little nervous too. Deep down I do worry what people think. However, those who have negative things to say probably aren't my friend to begin with, so screw them!

I'm also supposed to be going to a wedding reception as well on the same day. I don't know if I'll be attending. Sure, I RSVPed, but my heart really isn't into it. But don't worry. I did buy a gift. Isn't that what people want anyway? I am southern, so I do have manners. And it's weird to talk about it on my blog cause I'm sure the bride will read it. If not, I'm sure someone else will read it and tell her about it. But I have to take a page from Summer and realize that this blog is about me and I don't want to censor myself. It's just that I didn't really feel a part of the wedding. Hell, I don't even know when she's getting married (the wedding and reception are separate). I don't know where she's registered. So that's that. I'm sure that I'll get a lot of flack for not going, and probably for writing this, but everyone would find out sooner or later when they didn't see me around.

So those are my weekend plans thus far. Who knows. They could change. I could end up at the reception, or passed out somewhere in the Notre Dame parking lot. If it's the latter and you see me, please be a dear and roll me on my side so I don't choke on my vomit.
