ANOTHER JOURNAL ENTRY | Katie Huntley

In the spirit of the holiday, I figured I'd throw together a nice little list that encapsulates a few of the good things in my life for which I should be thankful.  Now, we all know we're all grateful for our family ( usually --we basically have no choice in this matter anyhow, and we might as well be thankful that Grandma's around to slip a fiver in your pocket while she still knows who the heck you are), our friends, our health, our jobs in this dick bag of an economy,  blah blah blah freakin blah blah.   I get it. You're thankful for boring shit. Cool. Me too.  Moving on. Shit I'm Really Thankful For: 1. Box Wine. Or, if we're being honest-- all  wine. Especially of the White Moscato persuasion. Just saying. 2. Waking up at 7 am and being like,  "God freaking dang it, I don't want to go to work" , and then realizing, to your bewilderment and absolute wonder that it's Sunday and you can go back to sleep a...

Here's to all those girls who used to be his number 1. The ones who waited all night for him to call, only to check the caller ID the next morning & be disappointed. The ones who made it through the break up, dried the tears, & moved on with your life, only to have him walk back in months later like nothing ever happened. The ones who listened to him say he only wants to be your friend one day & the next, listened to him say how much he loves & misses you. Here's to the girls that took him back, hoping that maybe this time, he was different. Hoping that maybe people really do change. We listened to our friends tells us that we were stupid for even thinking about giving him another chance, got shit from our parents, & even snuck around to see him for awhile. We thought it would be "just friends," but ended up falling in love again. We wanted nothing more than to hear him tell us he loved us, that even though things were bad in the past, the...

So I have this netbook and I’ve had it for quite some time. She and I have gone through many cyber hours together and I don’t want to part with her. About a year ago, however, she started acting all hot-mess crazy on me and didn’t want me to do things online that is pertinent to my every day life (i.e. check email, Facebook stalk and of course, blog). I contemplated selling her for parts, making her a door stop or, on the best of days, taking a sledge hammer to her. I finally decided to reset her to factory settings to see if that will maybe fix her so that I don’t have to end her life so soon. I did last night, and by some miracle she actually wants to work. In telling that rather long, drawn-out story, I come to my point: once I got her booted up and reset, I started the long process of going through my email. I have email backed up from 2007, and it took forever to go through. While sifting through and organizing my inbox, I ran across a couple of emails between my late sister a...

It seems so unreal that it’s already 2014. Well, working on the 2nd month of the New Year already… guess I’m better late than never. I have such high hopes and expectation for this year. Not that 2013 wasn’t good; all in all, it was a pretty decent year. It brought me an awesome job, several new friends, a second chance with the man I love and though it ended on a sad note, with the passing of my Aunt Jean, it taught me just how short and precious life is. 2014 has started off somewhat rocky; in a matter of two weeks, I wrecked my car (not totaled, but definitely damaged) and moved to a new place, with a new roommate. The transition is always hard at first, especially when you don’t know the person, but it is going really well and I feel that it is the start to an awesome relationship. I figured up the other day that since the age of 20, I have moved a total of 14 times: in summary, I am really tired of moving. I’m genuinely hoping that my next move will be my last: when I get marrie...
