For those of you that don't already know, I'm off the the lake for about five days. I'm leaving in an hour or two. So now would be the perfect time to type up a blog post and email it to me so I can post it when I get back. :D
I love going to the lake. It's two and a half hours to get there, but then I can swim, I can stroll around, I can take pictures of sunsets, I can sleep in a cool awesome bed thing, and get away from the city. Not that I don't love the Internet and TV and all that jazz, but sometimes, I need a break. I'll still have my phone though so if any of you are craving some Katrina feel free to text me. :D
I'm planning on actually doing stuff there. Art (specifically some watercolour), writing in my journal, writing in my dream journal. I might also write some blog posts on paper, and type them up when I get back. I won't be working on plushies while I'm gone but I might read a book and work out the colour combinations for some OCs I have. (For you non-arty people, that stands for original characters.) There's also this one particular picture I would LOVE to get some work done on, but I don't have the reference list I need to make sure all the characters are doing what they're supposed to be doing. I might study some katakana for the fall though. (It's one of the Japanese alphabets. I'll explain that some other time. xD) I also have birthday presents for Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing to make. Yay!
And I packed one pair of pants. I'm bringing two dresses and a skirt, and I'm wearing another skirt right now. Summer = fun! :D
Talk to you guys later! <3
Join me as I list 365 awesome things over the next year - the funny, the thought-provoking, the odd, and above all, the AWESOME.

Day 55: Emily the Strange is one supremely awesome girl
Yesterday morning, I woke up at Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing's house. She was still asleep, so I took a couple of pics of her sleeping, then went to the kitchen table. I cut myself an apple and started to read the book.
And OH MY FLIPPING LORD is it amazing! At first it was intriguing, then it was very interesting, and then halfway through the book something exciting and dramatic happened - only we have no idea exactly what that exciting and dramatic thing is. Some parts of the book make you wonder if she's dreaming or if it's real, but then you read it again to make sure and yup it's real. So here are thirteen things included in the book:
1. Amnesia
2. A dress with infinitely large internal pockets
3. A ridiculously small beige town called Blackrock
4. Four black cats with mysteriously hidden collars
5. Doppelgangers
6. Letters from a dead woman who appears to be able to predict the future
7. A secret doorway leading to somewhere dark with black lava that burns you but leaves you unharmed
8. A very high-stakes game of Calamity Poker
9. An amazing van that is epic beyond belief
10. Amnesia... again?!?!
11. A legitimately psychic nine-year-old
12. A centuries-old family feud
13. Lots of lists of thirteen
It is FANTASTICALLY good. I can't wait to get my paws on the next books in the series - library, you are gonna get OWNED! I seriously recommend this series to anyone sitting at home, bored out of their minds, with nothing better to do than click the refresh button while hoping for my blog to have a new post appear. It's EXCELLENT.

Day 54: I do love cyanide, as it is most awesome
(P.S. For every blog post you guys donate I'll do a real one! Incentive much? :D)
This blog is about two things that fit under one title. Hooray!
The first one is the main thing I do late at night. I have discovered the epic joys of Cyanide & Happiness. So mature and intelligent (compared to you guys, anyway)! Such detailed drawings! Such intellectual jokes! Here is one of my personal favorites I've read so far:
See? SEE HOW MATURE AND WONDERFUL IT ISS????
So yeah. Sorry to all of you who thought I was intelligent (HAHA YEAH RIGHT) but this is what I love to do in my spare time. xD
The second part of this is HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CYANIDE! That's right, kids, it's recipe time again! :D
You'll need:
Peaches
A knife
That's pretty much it
So you take a peach and you eat it. Then you split the pit in half. There's something in the middle that looks like an almond. You cut it up suuuuper fine, then put it in a little bowl with some water. After a while you pick out the pieces of almond-thing and let the water evaporate. You now have cyanide in the bottom of the bowl! YAY!
However, this leaves a VERY little amount - you need fifteen peach-pit-almond things to be able to kill a child, so that amount would just make a fully-grown adult sick - so if you're planning on killing someone you will need a LOT more.
Hopefully this will come in handy if you ever need to murder someone! Never let it be said that I won't help someone in need of my vast stores of knowledge! :D
Don't ask how I know this.
Just don't.

Day 53: Bean (aka Sabeastly) is awesommmme!
"Hello, this is Super Ninjutsu Fighting Style Sabeastly. Kate calls me Bean, but that's only because she's retarded. And smells like sweat socks (don't ask me what those are).
Since Katrina hasn't really blogged in a while and isn't consistent at all, I took her up on her offer to write a post or two for her.
The awesome thing that I will write about now is a date calculator. Date calculators are awesome. I used one and figured out that as of today (June 29), the Monster is 39 posts behind. 38, now that this is posted. She's really an awful person. Totally unreliale. But that's off topic.
Anyway, date calculators are really awesome. If you wanna find out how long it is until your birthday, just use one! I know that my birthday is 138 days away.
I find this one most useful and easiest to use: http://www.date-calculator. net/
Peace Out!"
I have wonderful friends...
Wanna help Katrina get caught up on blog posts and therefore get access to Colombian Rice Eater's blog? Donate now! Email it to me (my gmail account, please, my sasktel one is being really effed up right now) and you'll get the reward of being featured on an extremely prestigious and popular blog with a reputation for eloquent speech! (SHUT UP YOU BITCHES!) Anyways. I do enjoy chocolate chip cookies...

Day 52: How to make an awesome breakfast (indoors)
This post will teach you how to make cinnamon toast, a really delicious breakfast that is super easy and quick (unless you toaster is from the Stone Age, in which case it sucks to be you).
What you'll need (shown above):
Bread
Toaster
Plate
Knife
Spoon
Cinnamon
Brown Sugar (white sugar works almost as well, but brown sugar's texture makes it better since it's a little moister than white sugar is)
Butter (calm thyself, Quiet Smart Airplane Dude.)
Step Zero: If the bread is not pre-sliced, slice it, you moron.
Step One: Toast the bread. Really, I shouldn't have to tell you this.
Step Two: Put toast on a plate. This can get a little messy.
Step Three: IMMEDIATELY after Step Two, butter the toast with the knife. You need to make sure the butter melts and soaks into the toast, so it need to be hot. Even the seven seconds I used for taking the picture allowed the toast to cool considerably. So be fast!
Step Four: Scoop up some brown sugar with a spoon. With your finger, push it off the spoon and onto the toast. You want it to be be pretty thick - don't smooth it out with your finger or a knife. Oh, and you definitely should NOT 'accidentally' knock some off onto the plate or counter or table just so you can have an excuse to eat more sugar. I certainly didn't do that.
Step Five: Dump some cinnamon onto that bitch. How much you add is a matter of taste, but I LOVE cinnamon, so I add a fair bit. At least add enough for you to be able to see the difference in colour, or you wouldn't be able to taste it.
Step Six: Clean up, so your parents don't have you thrown into a dumpster. That's what the plate was there for - so you don't have to do as much cleaning. Still, as you can see, I got cinnamon on the counter anyways. xD
Step Seven: Eat it! Hopefully you'll find it delicious. A perfect way to celebrate having enough time in the morning to make it, since you don't have to rush off to school. Yay summer!
Step Eight: Try adding other random shiz. Take pictures, and post about your adventure on your blog! Or just tell me bout it so I can taste-test it myself. You might even get a blog post devoted to you! After all, that's the ultimate goal of all you lovely readers, isn't it? :D
So tell me if you tried it, what it tasted like, if you had an epic fail, and if you think my pajamas are sexy. Thanks! <3

Day 51: Colombian Rice Eater writes some pretty awesome stories
Here's one he texted me last night.
"There once was a lizard that had no friends. His life sucked monkey butt - literally. That's how he made a living.So he decided to change all that and vowed to become a freaking dragon! But then he realized that's impossible so he became a hit man for Colombian Rice Eater instead. Soon, with the lizard's help, Colombian Rice Eater's underground business became top dog and no one could stop him! Until Katrina came over and beat Colombian Rice Eater so bad for not returning her bag that he died. So the lizard started working for her, and the world went to hell as she took over on December 21st, 2012.
THE END! :D"
That is all.

Day 50: Thunderstorms are REALLY awesome
A couple days ago - on Wednesday - I got caught in the rain. Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing kept shrieking before the rain started because she's afraid of thunderstorms. xD She kept on delaaaaaying walking home from the plays we watched (which were AWESOME)... Had to congratulate this person, look for that person... even though I told her I would get caught in the rain. She didn't think I would. xD Fool.
So after we walked to her house, I headed for home. About halfway there, it started to sprinkle a little bit. Soon it was full-on raining, and I giggled and giggled and it was FUN. I'm guessing it would have been really unsettling to watch me walking home because I was just laughing the whole way home. Even after I got inside it took about ten minutes for me to completely stop laughing. Then I took off my shirt and my pants and put on a bathrobe. I felt realleh sexy! :D My hair was all super-curly and wet because that's what my hair does when it gets wet.
And now I have more of le story in place. About Storm and Kemi. Even though none of you know who either of those people are. xD Just a thought.
So I totally love getting caught in the rain without an umbrella... but next time, sweetie, please listen when I tell you I'm gonna get soaked if we don't leave, okay? ^^;
