Okay, just thought I should add some explanation for my last post. Today, my boss asked when he was gonna get to meet my boyfriend. I told him I didn’t have one, and he replied “We’re going to have to find you a boyfriend.”
I’m not some kind of feminist who thinks the world does not need men. I love men. I just don’t need a man to be happy.
I am a very focused person. I have just enough time to work, go to school, and spend time with my friends and family.
I feel like I’ve never really had good experiences with guys anyway. The ones I get usually have a shitty job, or none at all. They usually try to boss me around or nag me to death. Guys that like me tend to be into all the kind of stuff that I don’t need to be involved with.
I’m not really looking for Prince Charming, that Prince Charming can look for me.
All in all, it sounds like I’m complaining too much.
In other news, I got a new book from Amazon called The List by Gail Belsky. It seems to be an inspirational device like 43Things.com where you make a list of new things you’ve never tried before, and then do them. I like it a lot and I think I’m gonna try to do one every week. Obviously, I won’t be able to do all of them because I’m not really applicable (like Get a Divorce or Go Back to School). But I’ll try to add in some to make up for the ones I am unable to do.
That’s all that’s new in Katie’s World. See ya next time!
(I’m trying to come up with a catch phrase to end out the entries in my blog.)

List Additions
Beer: Originally just had wines on the list, but it would be silly not to take advantage of the rich micro-brewery culture in SD. With enough time and experimentation, I’m sure I can find a beer I really love.
Surfing: I hung out with C.T. this weekend. In addition to learning about her newfound eco-terrorist tendencies, she really inspired me to man the fuck up about my water-incompetence-avoidance and learn to surf. Swimming with the dolphins sealed the deal. DOLPHINS
C.T. also talked about her work with Vitamin D medical diagnostic kits. Apparently these are BIG SELLERS right. Took a quick look at Quest Diagnostics, not sure this is a company I’d invest in right now — extremely cyclical and they seem to be at a high point at the moment.
