Under pressure, but not in a sing-song Queen-ish way, more like in a "AM I EVER GOING TO SURVIVE LIFE?!" kind of way

I swear, if I hear "I'm still waiting for that amaaaaazing Star Wars post" from my dad again I'm going to... I'm going to.... well to be honest I'm probably not going to do anything. You know when you put off doing something for a reeeeeally long time and then you feel guilty for not having done it already and then you still don't do it because you feel too guilty. That's how I feel. I was all like, "Guys, no worries, I'm posting soon. Magical posts about Star Wars with photos and maybe even paint pictures." And now I'm all like, "meh." And to be honest, I'm not even sure I ever said the Star Wars post was going to be "amazing".

So here I am.... feeling guilty for not posting.... sitting alone in my room thinking, "homework? naaaah, I haven't posted in FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!" I'm not sure the emphasis I just put on "forever" works as well typed out as it does in my head. But anyways, I might as well say something to tide you over until I get around to posting about Star Wars (which I'll warn you right now is going to be an extremely boring and dry post that makes you long for a nap and a glass of water).

Ergo, a conversation via text message that proves Aaron and I's love and compatibility*

(One should know before reading this that on my ONLY day to sleep in Aaron texted me at 9:30 to tell me Harry Potter was singing in the Macy's Parade so I rushed downstairs (hoping to see the following)

just in time to receive another text that said, "never mind, he finished"... he then proceeded to NOT answer my text messages, thus the following)

Me: What are you doing? What's your family doing? How do you feel? How is your homework? Have you been hammocking? What's your favorite thanksgiving food?

Me: Hello?!

Me: Do you hear me? Do you loooove me? Do ya love me? Do you looooooove me? Do ya love me?

Me: Now......

Me: That I........

Aaron: Jeez

Me: Can daaaaaaaaance

Me: daaaAAAAANCE

Me: DAAAAAANCE....

Me: WATCH  ME NOW!

Aaron: Work Work

Me: That's why we are in love**

*I developed a fool proof way to break up with somebody without completely crushing them. You tell them that you should both sign up for e-harmony and if you are compatible and get matched together then it's meant to be, but if not then you will both take it as a sign that you weren't meant for each other and you should date whoever you are matched with. But then I realized, wouldn't it really suck if you got matched to each other and he's all like, "I KNEW WE WERE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!" and you're all like "this is awkward..."

** I obviously don't plan on breaking up with Aaron, we are in love.

Can't wait for thanksgiving

This is one of those posts you HATE

because.... it's a post about the fact that I will post soon. And that could even be a lie. It may be a couple weeks actually. But probably not. I'll probably post something tomorrow. Maybe. Let's be honest, that's not happening.

And from all of this you can gather that I have a new and improved (albeit a bit clunkier) charger. All thanks to Kelsey Carpenter, Steven Teknation, and of course, the United Bank of Mom and Dad.

Thanks guys

I shall now get back to painting.

And because I don't have anything fun to post I shall post some random pictures for your enjoyment:

 

In case you were wondering....

Christmas Countdown

There is something mentally wrong with me today

So I'm sitting on the couch and creating some of my best paintings (by paintings I mean drawings in paint) when all of a sudden my computer just turned off. I'm all like, "that's weird"'

and turn it back on. Then the computer won't recognize my charger. So THEN I'm all like, "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" So I decide, based on my vast technological knowledge and experience, that the problem is just the outlet and I go into my room and plug it in and it STILL doesn't work.

Then I'm like "oh no you didn't" and I start to panic a little but I have to go to work so I decide to postpone the anxiety attack and simply call my techy sister Kelsey. As it turns out she isn't really techy at all but knows how to google and has a friend that IS very techy that she gives all her problems to. So she asks him and he says get a new charger and I'm like, "HOW MUCH?!" because I had to pay $80 dues for StuFu today and really can't afford an $80 charger. But Kelsey, the sister I trust ever so much, tells me $20. So the anxiety subsides and I go to work worry free thinking I'll stop by Best Buy after work.

THEN.... I ask Aaron if he will go with me (because those customer service situations stress me out) and he says "call first and ask if they have it"
Immediately I'm shocked that they could possibly not have exactly what I need so I ask him to do it and he gets on the website and sees that it will be $70.
yeah.
So I immediately start crying.
I know you are thinking.. Kayla, seriously? And you're right to think that because WHO does that? Nobody.
Well, Aaron, as per his job description, rushes to my apartment having heard me sob on the phone. He tells me I can use his computer and we can probably order a cheaper charger online but just in case it's something else let's take it to the ResTech people at Baylor (residential technology... I think... that could be made up.... it could be resolution, or respect, or resentful... which is prob what it is because they really are just college nerds who stay hunched over their computers all day and probably resent everybody for bringing their stupid problems to them... all though in reality I am just a nerdy college student hunched over my computer all day). So we go and I'm still so stressed that I can't even talk to the girl at the counter without crying so I look up at Aaron, he rolls his eyes, and explains the situation. Turns out it IS the charger and I DO have to buy one.
We walk out of the place and I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown... and Aaron can clearly see it coming. So the following conversation ensues:

Aaron: You aren't even stressed because you have homework to do or anything... you just want to be able to waste hours on stupid websites

Me: (I was going to deny it but...)YEEEEEEEEES. (at this point I began balling).

Aaron: OH MY GOSH.

Me: IT'S NOT JUST THAT... I don't have the money either!! Okay... I'll admit it.. I'm addicted to the internet. I have a problem. (still sobbing)

Aaron: Maybe this is good for you.. maybe you need to have a little computer fast.

Me: Pr-pr-pr-pr-o-ab-lyyyyyy

Aaron: I've never seen you cry like this... It's amazing.

I then began to laugh-sob

Aaron: This is the ugliest cry I've ever seen. Are you menstruating?
I then realized I didn't even have THAT as an excuse. I wasn't even sad anymore I was just crying uncontrollably. I looked like Kim Kardashian when she cries.

Every time I opened my mouth it was just noises coming out.
Then Aaron said, "when we get married I'm buying you like the nicest computer ever."
Then I started to cry because I was so touched.

And then, as a reward for my nervous breakdown Aaron bought me a blizzard.

Oh, and don't worry Kelsey's tech friend is taking care of the sitch. Only I still don't have a computer... this is being blogged from Aaron's. He's looking suspiciously at me, as I frantically type, wondering what I'm doing...

And sorry, but my paintings are all saved on my computer so it will be a week at least until I can post that one and the star wars post. Bummer... I know.

I tried to be nice and he threatened to break up with me.

Email chain:

Me:


Aaron: Hilarious

Me: You're just saying that. You aren't even looking at the pics I bet. The next one I send is going to be a dead puppy and you're going to respond : Hilarious and I'm gonna be all like, "I knew it"

Aaron: Mark Hamill has had a career though, a successful career as a voice actor. He's the joker!

Me: Yeah his CAREER is a joke.

Aaron: You're mean

Me:

Aaron: You're about to be riding solo.

Me: Which of these messages made you stop loving me? I only ask so I can go back in time and not send that one. Is it this one?

Aaron: It was the last three.

He then admitted later that the Riding Solo pic was funny... which is true.
I just try and make my Star Wars loving boyfriend happy and he threatens to break up with me.

Speaking of Star Wars.... Get ready for an amazing Star Wars related post.
