Conversations with my boyfriend that irritate me

Conversation #1:

Me: Hey babe, I’m sorry but I totally forgot to post a blog entry this week.

Walter: *shrugs* Eh, its fine. We didn’t do anything

Me: I know *rolls eyes* that’s why I’m only kinda sorry

                Now you may be sitting there saying, “Kayte, why does that irritate you? You’re the one who dropped the ball”. I’ll tell you why eager reader. It irritants me because I fear I see a pattern emerging. If you’re reading this chances are you’re in the band, and if you’re not in the band you’re in Oklahoma, but just in case I have someone in Orlando that’s really interested in VK’s clime to the top I’ll update you on the Oklahoma weather conditions for the past few weeks. We had two snow storms in two weeks here. Now for a state or a country that gets real snow this is no big deal, but to Oklahoma, a state that gets almost no snow and so has almost no snow budget, this is a big deal. I’m telling you the state shuts down. Schools in Tulsa were out for almost two weeks. I think it was my friend Chelsea that pointed out the irony, “Oklahoma, the state that shuts down for a few inches of snow but runs outside to watch tornados go by” (note: if Chelsea didn’t say this and someone ells did I’m sorry someone ells, let me know and I’ll totally give you credit).

                So because of the storms the band hasn’t really met for about two weeks, which is understandable, but here’s my fear: they don’t meet of two weeks, so they meet again and it takes them a wail to get back in the groove of things. Next someone can’t make so the rest of them just go ahead and blow it off. Before long we have a pattern of behavior. This is my virtual plea, please guys, STICK WITH IT! I’m probably seeing problems where there aren’t any but still, you guys are doing so well, don’t start slaking off now. This is when you really need to haul ass to get back on top of things. I know I know I know Walter, I’m one to talk. I’m already debating going to my Arabic class that I haven’t been to in a week but still, it’s not my dream to be and Arabic translator. It is your dream to get noticed and make it big.

Conversation #2:

Me: Hey *trying (and failing) to be cute and flirty* when do you think it would be a good time for me to come and observe a band practice so I can get this group interview out of the way?”

Walter: not sure. You know when practice is.

Me: Well yeah but I’m in Stillwater. I was hoping we could work out a time or something.

Walter: *shrug* babe I don’t know. Maybe you should talk to the guys.

                Ok here is why this one irritates me. Besides it feeling a bit dismissive (which I hate, hate, HATE) it truly irritates me because he’s right. I’ve been sitting here hoping that Walter would be my brig between me and the band, but this isn’t his project. It’s mine, and I should be the one taking responsibility for stuff like this. So here it is. My official request. Guys, I would like to come and sit in on a practice and after word do a group interview. I realize this will be difficult seeing as I’m in Stillwater and you’re in the city, but I would like to try. Maybe, if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you guys could do a practice on Saturday or something when I’m in town. After I do the group interview I think it would be easier to do the individual interviews over skyp or something. So please, please let me know what you think.

Better late than never

             Sorry it’s taken me so long to post something.  I think the reason I haven’t put anything up yet is because of the snow. I’m not going to pretend that I’ve had a million things to do, which to be honest I have had a lot of things to do, but to be even more honest I haven’t  done any of them. It’s the snow. When it’s falling from the sky it’s all pretty and distracting and when it’s sitting in your drive way blocking you in your animal instanced kicks in and you have this sudden need to hibernate.

                Well we have been waiting with bated breath for the end of the month and the end of the month has come and gone and now I have news.  Both Carpenter and Tyler are staying. There you go. Both of them really stepped up their game, specifically Carpenter. I would just like to take a minute and give him a virtual pat on the back.

                Unfortunately, because of the snow-pocalypse here in Oklahoma and a fantastic flu that everyone seems to be re-gifting like an ugly sweater at Christmas, band practice has yet to happen. However, once the snow melts and the fevers break ,VK will be back on top of everything and hopefully moving in the right direction.

                Now that the end of the month is in the rearview mirror and it has been decided that the band will not be looking for new members, faze two of operation shot in the arm can commence. This means I hope I will soon be reporting to you about upcoming gigs or even better, more than five songs on the myspace. This also means that I will FINALLY be able to start my band bios. I know there is not a lot in this post but, like I said, the snow has kinda paused the world, especially ours. But fear not! The post to come will be much more interesting.
