Mom and I suddenly decided to go on Craigslist and find some kitties. We've been looking for a good cat for a few weeks, and we drove up the road a while until we found this pile of beautiful, friendly, sweet-as-sugar kittens!!
It's been an absolutely adorable day.

Here they are at home with me. They like to nap on my computer desk :)

I want to name them Basil and Gatsby, but Ben thinks those are stupid.
I think those names match perfectly.
But I'm kinda a weirdo.
What would YOU all name these kitties? Maybe your input will help change Ben's mind...

I have some cuddling to do. See you later.

I've decided to stop being not-fun, and start posting like I used to.

but I've decided that really is no excuse for not wasting my time on the computer sharing pictures and new songs I find/love with ten (TEN! WAHOO! Welcome Brittany!) like-minded internet addicts.

Ohh, love.

So here. I'm back, and I missed you.











(this photo makes me want to grow my hair back out really bad)




I'm just really diggin the whole pink dress fairy tale thing right now...

And I really want to do this in my dorm room
providing my room mate is as awesome or non-existent as I've imagined her to be...


(thank you kate-maggie, and I love your blog by the way,
but I do disagree with your choice in coffee distributors- bleck!)



I really miss Chris today.
I wish we could go for a drive.

love, rudi

Somehow I found this website out of my own accord.
And it made me so happy.

Happy Merry Fun New Year!

I want to take this special holiday to welcome a new special friend!
This is Craig:


Craig is one of my good GSA friends. I never get to see him anymore, because we are so terribly far away,
but whenever I think of GSA (which I so often do)
Craig is always somewhere in the mix.

It always amazed me how Craig instantly knew everyone as GSA. I don't think I ever saw him hanging out with the same person twice. He was on best friend terms with almost everyone,
and his smile is simply infectious.


And his acting,
wow.
He's a cartoon character! In the best possible sense,
his voice is just loud enough, and he seems to have full control of every movement and voice wave he throws out.

Plus, this photo of him exists,
a photo that I consider one of the most epic pictures of all time because it contains
two of the most epic men I know.

That grey haired beast of a man is Tim, everyone, for those of you not in the know.
And Tim and I are pretty much dating.

So I applaud you, Craig, for being
hilarious
suspiciously sweet
ginger without being too creepy
lovable in every respect
a really good friend, no matter the distance between us.



And because I am sticking true to my title as "High School Student", I must be off to wrap some Christmas presents for our family Christmas party that begins- TODAY!

Love you all! And Have a great New Year. Hopefully, because you are all very close to me in some way, that new year will be filled with adventures and good stories of which I am lucky enough to be a part.

I love you all,
Happy New Year!

love, rudi
