Why So Serious?

This entry has nothing to with the dark knight just so you know. I just thought it would be an appropriate title, haha. Well, lately my entries have been pretty inside heavy stuff about me so I wanted to lighten the mood(insert Goofy laugh here). Anyhoogles, here's some random things that I can think of.

When I was still losing my baby teeth, I was at school during recess and my fat ass loved those strawberry twinkies so I bit into it and ended up biting something crunchy,hard. I thought to myself, last time I checked twinkies were soft and squishy...Yeah, well it was my tooth! And my mouth filled with blood. Needless to say, never ate a twinky again hahaha. I also lost another tooth eating a brownie. It had nuts in it so I thought it was one, I was wrong. Oh, AND another time I lost my tooth in a sticky ass milk dud it just sucked it right out my gums. Gah, what a fatty.

Now my teeth look like this:


Oh, there's something I want to try soon. I want to write down a list of things I find hysterically funny and every day read, watch, listen, or whatever is on that list every day so I laugh really really hard. I'm weird I know, you should know this by now too. Actually, you probably should have realized that the first time we met, mhm.

To generalize some of the things I like and will always be happy to get as a gift or topics I would always love to bring up in conversation are scrabble, rubber duckies, star wars, harry potter, and nightmare before christmas.

Something you might not know about me, I like rhinos. I think they are swell. Which reminds me I want to go back to the Wild Aminal Park! Yes, AMINAL it's more fun to say. :)

That should make you sick of hearing about me for now, but I already know my next post and it's a doozy! ta-ta's for now!

Dirty Mind, Clean Vagina.

I am a very straight forward person, I will not beat around the bush, do lame hinting, or anything of the sort. On that note, I'm waiting until I get married. When I say that I hear in my head, "I will be alone for the rest of my life."

Some of the reactions I get when I tell people about this, are they think I'm crazy(also because I do not "tickle my own fancy." so to speak), others respect my decision, and I would say the rest are indifferent, or they like a challenge, but fail miserably. One of the reasons I am waiting until marriage is because I want that guy to know I'm just for him, pure and untouched, I would say that's a gift I know most girls can't offer these days. Ha, and I would tell that guy we have the rest of our lives to practice! ;) ahahaha but I digress.

Recently, when I told someone they asked if I was super religious and it was weird cause my answer was no. I was raised around Christian and Catholic influences, but things change. I made this choice for me, because it's how I feel I can respect myself and to show it can still be done in this day and age.
I know if I end up having really strong feelings for a guy thoughts might run through my mind, but I will deal with that situation when it approaches and only then.

So back to my first little paragraph, if I end up alone for the rest of my life, so be it. Awhile back I decided I am completely fine with being alone. Basically, I'm alone, but not lonely. I love my solitude.

Every day


This is one of my favorite poems by my favorite poet Emily Dickinson. I think I am the only person I know that likes to read and write poetry. I know a lot of people actually hated it in high school. This poem expresses how I feel and how I try to live my life every day. If I can just make the most minuscule difference in someone else's life or day...that would mean everything to me. I love to just be there for people when they need someone most or show that there are still decent people in the world that will do nice things for a complete stranger. Just talking about all of this really makes me want to watch Pay It Forward(good movie). In a nutshell, I really just love to help. Most of you should know that much about me.

Poetry has been in my life for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I wrote poems about my mom which she still has. In junior high I remember writing my first "serious" poem about silence. In junior high I started to write a lot. I have written some of the weirdest poems ever! When I think about those ones I also think they could become silly poems for kids. I tend not to share my poems for the most part because they are very personal to me. I have shared a selected few in the past. I wrote one instantly after I found out my best friend had passed away in 2003, you can read it here. If you want to see some others leave a comment or message me. I guess poetry is my outlet for whatever it is I may be feeling. If something ever happens to me I would want someone to locate all my poems and possibly publish them in a book for people in my life that would want them or people in general who knows.

Even though I might not have a hand to hold, there will always be a pen.

FAQ.1

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is...Why are you vegetarian? I figured I could write this for the ones who are too shy to ask or just forget easily. I do not mind getting asked this question either so please do not take this in a complaining tone.

On January 1, 2007, Amanda and I chose to become vegetarians "cold turkey." It was to try something new and to hopefully be healthier. Just by doing this, I opened my mouth to new tasty things I would have never known existed. I also hear that people believe it to be too hard, I know the feeling I thought I could never let go of chicken but it was not hard at all. I would say you will never really know unless you try. Later on I personally chose to educate myself on what goes on (i.e. factory farms) and after seeing those videos I knew I could never go back. I am not one to preach, but I am more than happy to answer any questions if asked. To each their own is how I feel. I also feel respect my choices and I will respect yours. Follow-up questions to my vegetarianism are Do you eat fish,seafood? and Did you lose weight? My answer is no to both. I do not eat fish or any kind of seafood and if anyone does they should not be calling themselves vegetarian the correct term is pescatarian. Becoming vegetarian does not automatically mean you will lose weight. I live off of bean and cheese burritos not the healthiest thing!

I hope one day I could attempt to be vegan, but I am definitely in no rush. Vegan is a pretty serious commitment and I want to be as smart about it as possible. I already have low iron so I really need to take care of my body properly if I were to be vegan.

I honestly love being vegetarian and have passed my 2 year mark and am on my way to 3! :)

To end this entry I will use an excerpt from stand up comedian Jim Gaffigan that makes me laugh so hopefully you will too.

You always here vegetarians saying "Oh, I haven't had meat in 5 years."
Ya well, I haven't had a banana in a month, you don't see me bragging about it.

f00d, d00d.

As strange as this might sound I have this plan to lose weight, just so I can gain it back. Let me give you deets on why. As a birthday and Christmas gift, my dad has decided to take me, himself, his girlfriend, and my sister on a cruise to Hawaii! Here is where my plan comes in, I want that luxury of pigging out on the cruise especially because I heard there will be a 24hr buffet! (MY UTOPIA) For the next two and a half months I want to lose some weight so I won't worry about gaining excess weight on the cruise I will just be back to what I am right now.

The reason I'm typing about this is because if you know me, I love my food and I am thee least healthiest person ever. I ask for a favor, if we hang out within the next couple months and eating/snacking is involved don't be afraid to call me out on it and say NO KRISTA K! or fight me because I don't want to give up my doughnut. I would greatly appreciate this and if you have any suggestions what so ever on how I can lose weight in interesting ways I'm open to them. I have no will power to consistently exercise it bores me, I'd rather do something fun and not realize I'm exercising haha. Considering today was the super bowl... I would be down to play a good game of football if we can get enough people! I loves me some football!

That's it for now I suppose, thanks for reading.
