… but promises are made to be broken, right?!

Am I the only person on the planet who doesn’t know when the Olympics are to begin? Am I? At least I know they are in Italy. (They ARE in Italy, aren’t they?)

I have always found that I am incapable of saying no. “Kathleen, you want to work tomorrow, right?” Whether it’s my birthday, New Year’s Eve, whatever, I always respond, “Okay, sure, what time?” Two days ago I was approached with a job offer. They wanted me to translate a street basketball video game into German and it was actually already translated and they just wanted me to correct things. I agreed to do the job and then had a panic attack. What if I wasn’t good enough to correct someone else’s mistakes? What if I made a fool out of myself?! So I ended up declining the job by offering up a better alternative. Not only did I turn down $1000 a day but I possibly squashed any future opportunity with this company. Now I am kicking myself. What is wrong with me?!

I have not created a new post to this blog in 2 weeks. I have decided that maybe I shouldn’t blog the week before my period because of PMS and the week of my period because of Female Insanity. I have nothing good to say during those 2 weeks every month and I shouldn’t subject you all to my mental ramblings during that time.

I do have to say that last week I was working an event for the Governor where I had to be in position at 6am. I left my house thinking there’s no way Starbucks is open that early. I was ready to be pissed off that I would start my day without coffee, and I was ready to be SUPER bitchy towards everyone ALL DAY. I got there at 5:30 and was amazed to learn they open at 4:30am. How inhumane! Who in the world would voluntarily get up at that hour?! At least I got my coffee. Poor barista suckers.

The event was at USC. It was refreshing yet somewhat strange to be on a college campus again. There are so many differences between this campus and where I went to college. For example, every girl at USC seemed to ride a pink Beach Cruiser bicycle. I went to a school of 2000 students whereas USC has 30000 or 40000 or something and is HUGE! It’s a city within a city. Did you know that USC is the largest employer in Los Angeles?! Wow.

I loved hanging out there and feeling young again.

Oh how carefree life was back in College. I even saw a guitar player making some tunes on his guitar while riding his skateboard. Too bad I didn’t get his photo.

I got to drive around a campus golf cart - YIPEE!!

People get married on this campus!

Chelsea ran into a pink bike with a golf cart and to make matters worse, Emma kicked the shit out of it.
