- Hey, everyone!
It is, what day is it today? Gosh, it's Wednesday
and normally I would be on YouTube
or I'd be on the website and don't worry,
I will get on YouTube and the website
and I will answers some questions
and get through my messages a little bit,
I didn't forget you!
But I was tagged. Tag, you're it, you know,
by Courtney-pants and if she had been watching my videos
a little while ago, I did a Q&A,
"10 Things You Don't Know About Me,"
but she asked me to do 25 things,
and initially, on her video, she said she did 25,
and that five might be a lie, but I'm a really bad liar.
And, like Courtney, I always tell stories
about the reasons why these things happened
or why these were things about me or whatever.
So, I'm gonna do 25 things about me, all true!
All true, no lies!
And Courtney, tag, you're it, call me
so we can set up an appointment.
Okay, anyway, so without further ado,
and this actually took me a while,
so kudos to Court for coming up with 30 because
I think, even, it went over 30 if I counted correctly.
But, wow honey, I'm impressed.
So I have 25 things, I have them on my laptop here,
so I don't forget.
And I did others because I had already done those 10,
and I didn't do the same ones, not cheating, don't worry.
Okay, so 25 things you don't know about me.
Number one: I'm addicted to buying lotion
and pretty much any beauty product.
So when I go to Sephora, it's trouble.
Which I went yesterday with Joanna,
and I actually was pretty good.
I only bought two items.
So, that's pretty good, but I have so much lotion.
I have a whole tub that sits outside the bathroom,
full of random crap, because I don't need it now,
because I can't have eight lotions going.
And don't forget Amy, I'm gonna get your gift to you
and get you your goodies
because we are doing a little exchange.
Okay, number two: I love dogs.
And cats are cool, too, but Sean is allergic
and cats are more, like, independent.
I don't really like them as much as I like dogs.
And you get to walk dogs, although in Santa Monica,
there is this guy who walks his cat.
Yes, it's true.
Okay, number three:
I thought I had breast cancer when I was 16
and I really, really freaked out.
But it turns out, I just had an overactive lymph node
in my armpit, right here, and so now
I'm one lymph node down because I had to get it removed.
And it was okay, don't worry, no cancer.
But, it was definitely enlarged and upset.
I don't know what that means, but my doctor said,
"No worries," and I've been checked out, and we're good.
Okay, number four: I only use Apple computers and devices.
I don't know when this transition happened.
I blame Sean, because when I met him,
I had a Dell computer and I was all,
"No, Apple is bad and they make us spend too much money,"
but I have less problems,
and my computers, have lasted forever.
Hence, this being beat to shit, but it still does
what I need to do. So, yes,
and I am slowing down. I'm sorry.
Number five: I love blankets. The softer, the better.
I posted a photo--
well, actually, Sean took the photo,
but I posted it on Instagram,
and I got this blanket at my wedding
and it is so soft and it's from Kohl's,
so if anybody likes the Kohl's.
It's like that zebra-y print.
Oh my gosh, it's so soft.
Okay. Six: I bake when I'm feeling upset
and I have the time to do it, so I used to make
a lot of banana bread. I don't know why,
but it's probably because bananas always go bad
and I always have bananas,
and I also make a mean red velvet cupcake, so look out.
Number seven: I'm addicted to crime shows.
Really, really addicted. I watch "CSI", I watch "CSI:NY",
I watch Rizzoli & Isles", I watch "Castle".
What else do I watch?
Sometimes I'll watch a cold case
and I watch a couple that, like,
when there's slim-pickings, I will definitely record those.
I watch SVU, "Law & Order: SVU", yeah, so.
I have a problem and Sean's like,
"Why do you watch this stuff?", but I love the mystery.
Oh my gosh, I love the mystery.
Okay, number eight: I've never really dyed my hair.
Unless Sun-In counts when I was like, I don't know, 16
and that was a bad idea.
It turned mine kinda orange-y and like, white,
and then orange. Not attractive.
But, never really dyed it, so.
I'm left-handed! Hey, lefties, what's up?
Yeah, so that made calligraphy class really hard
because my hand just smudged everything, which is awesome.
I've been with Sean for over five years.
It would've been five years,
I guess if we talk about the day we met,
it would've been five years this last June.
June 24th is when I met him.
11: I'm overly protective of my family and friends.
So don't mess with them!
Which I actually find myself being
protective of you guys, too,
because when people send really ridiculous stuff
and put it on my website--
which somebody just found, Liz, thank you for finding
that thing that somebody posted on the website--
it's just so predatory and anyway, I am rambling,
but I'm very protective. I don't like people harming people
that are mine, and my people, they're close to my heart.
So, gr. I can be feisty when I need to be.
12: I broke five records in high school
for my softball skills. Hey!
I wonder if somebody has beat them, and if they have,
I might have to go after 'em. No, I'm just kidding.
But it was funny, I actually got some scholarships
to go to school for softball,
but I didn't really like playing it.
I preferred soccer more and I didn't wanna go
to school and play a sport because
then it could take you more years
and I just didn't want the pressure.
The pressure's what would get to me.
I just wanna do it for fun.
Okay! 13: I spent a summer in Costa Rica learning Spanish
with Nina, if Nina's watching, hey!
And it was wonderful, I lived with a little family,
my tica family, and I love Costa Rica.
And I want to go back some time soon.
That was in '06, so I think I'm due,
don't you guys agree?
Okay, 14: My favorite author is Laurie Notaro.
She's hilarious. If you wanna read,
and it's more of a girl humor, because I tried
to make Sean read it and he's like "Eh, I don't get it."
So, it's very girl humor-y.
But recently, I'm also very addicted to Sarah Jio,
I think that's how you say it, J-I-O is her last name.
She lives in Seattle, in the Seattle area,
so all of her books, she writes about that area
in different eras. I don't know. I love it.
So, those are my two faves.
15: I'm a Harry Potter fan. Super duper.
I think you guys call yourselves "Potterheads".
I've never joined that club, but you know,
I could be a part of it, I've read every book
and seen every film.
I've read every book twice, maybe three times.
No, Sean, book-blocked me! He was like,
"Katie, you take so much time when you read those
and you've already read them,
you already know what happens."
And I was like, "No, but I forget, I forget what happens
and it's good!" So, yeah, I'm a Harry Potter fan.
16: I just moved offices. I used to have my office
up in Westwood, which I guess they still said
I could potentially, like, "If you need hours,
we have free availability," because you know,
now they're down the hours I was taking,
but now I'm on 7th Street in Santa Monica,
hey, so that's really exciting and I'm very excited.
17: I kept a diary for eight years.
Maybe that's why I tell you to journal so much.
Just kidding. But it was from 5th grade to 12th grade
and I wrote in almost every day,
except for when I got into my sophomore year of high school,
then it was more sporadic.
But, it's hilarious to read, I'll be honest.
18: I'm turning 30 this October!
What? I'm trying to figure out what to do,
and, you know, what'll be easy for everybody
and most importantly, what should I wear?
It should be kinda fun and I kinda want to get dressed up.
Okay, 19: My wedding was in Malibu, California.
That's where Sean and I got married and it was beautiful.
And I posted some photos, so you guys got
to kinda see what it looks like.
It was in the canyon, so it wasn't, like, on the beach
because it turns you can't actually have a private beach.
There's been a big debacle.
So people could kinda walk through your wedding,
which I didn't really like.
20: I really, really, really, really want a French bulldog.
Oh my gosh. If I could figure out how to edit in
a cute little picture of them.
Just Google, French bulldog images; they're adorable.
But I would never buy a dog because
then I'll feel really bad because, you know,
homeless dogs are being killed every day just because
they're in the pound, and so, I think I'm going to go
to the pound and be like "If you get one that kinda looks
like a French bulldog, then give me a call,"
and then I wanna take it. I'm gonna take it home
and we're gonna have a good time.
And I get to watch my girlfriend, Ahba's dog, Salona,
this weekend, I'm excited. I get her on Friday.
Okay, 21: My favorite food's Italian food.
Oh my gosh, there's this place over in Venice, technically,
it's by the Venice pier, it's called C&Os,
stands for cheese and olives.
Sweet Mother of God, that place is delicious.
Maybe that's where I should go for dinner.
I don't really feel like cooking anyways.
It's good, anyways, and they have these garlic knots,
oh my god, okay. So, anyway, I am blabbing.
22: I always have cards at home.
I have a weird problem buying greeting cards of any kind.
I go to buy one, like let's say Kim is having a birthday
and I'm like "Oh, I have to get Kim a funny one because
she likes cards, too," and I end up buying like six.
Every time. And there are car washes in LA,
I don't know if this is everywhere else,
you guys can let me know, but our car washes in LA
have cards, in them. It's terrible.
I end up buying cards while I'm waiting
for my car to get washed. But the thing that's great
about it is if somebody's saying,
"Hey, I'm having a birthday get-together,"
and it's last minute, I'm like "Cool, I got this.
I already have 12 cards to pick from."
Are you a guy or a girl? Do I want it funny,
do I want it sentimental? I got it all.
So, I have like a whole organizer and everything.
I'm really weird.
Okay, 23: I see a therapist myself.
Practice what you preach, right? And she's amazing,
and yeah, that's about that.
It's funny because her office is a block from my office,
which I find very convenient.
24: I'm a bit of a clean freak, and to be honest,
college kinda kicked it out of me because,
no offense to Veronica or Liz, my college roommates,
they were both very clean, but you can't control
your environment that much and I don't really think
it's that healthy. But Sean and I are pretty clean
as a couple. My mom always comes over and she's like,
"You guys are so clean!" And I'm like, that's because
I love Swiffers and Swiffers love me.
Okay, 25: If I could get away with it,
I would wear PJs all day, every day.
Right now, you can't see it,
but I'm wearing PJ bottoms, hey, you know,
it's like party, or business on top, party on the bottom.
It's like a mullet of dressing.
But anyways, I love pajamas and my favorite,
oh my gosh, you guys, I wish I had the money to buy these,
I was at Kitson, which I don't know if any of you guys
even have that store, if it's a LA thing,
I don't know, it's like these stores that float around,
so all of a sudden they'll pop up.
And I was just walking, where was I?
I was in Beverly Hills, and I was just walking to get coffee
with a girlfriend and I was like,
"Oh my god, let's stop in Kitson, I've never been in there."
And they had these pants, and they were so super soft,
and the brand is like Wildfox, these were amazing!
And, not only were they amazing, and they were blue,
which I also love, but on them, they said, "Running sucks."
And I was like amen sister, I'm gonna buy these.
Then I looked at the price tag and I was like,
"98 dollars? Oy." So I had to put them back.
I'm hoping that maybe if I save up, I can get my
"running sucks" pants because they were hilarious
and so true, and so soft. Oh my God.
Okay, so that is it for today.
I hope you guys liked it!
Give it a like. Check out Courtney-pants,
if you haven't checked out, she's been vlogging more
and I love to hear from her,
and it's nice to be tagged "it,"
but now, I'm tagging you back, so get a hold of me.
Yeah, but I'll be back tomorrow and tomorrow's Thursday
and so I'll be on Twitter, so ask your questions,
#KatieFAQ, and I will see you all then.
Have a great rest of your evening! Love you, bye!
