O HAI THAR!
this is an “about me” post. 
so… about me:

  • My name is Kaylyn
  • I’m 20 (turning 21 in exactly a week from now)
  • Single, and mingling (LULZ)
  • Currently living in Århus, Denmark (pronounced kinda like “OH-hoos”) for a study abroad year
  • I have an adorable German roommate that I talk about quite a bit on here
  • I’m moving back to California in 2 months
  • I’m from a po-dunk little fishing village in the central coast of California called Morro Bay 
  • My home university San Francisco State
  • I study Linguistics (grammar, syntax, phonology, morphology, all that fun stuff)
  • I really love Linguistics, but will probably go on to do a masters in English Literature
  • I want to do my masters somewhere in Europe (probably in the UK or Sweden)
  • I hate using caps outside of uni work, so this thing will be filled with uncapitalised proper nouns and beginnings of sentences (making an exception here for some reason though…)
  • CAPS LOCK IS LOVE
  • I am easily obsessed with things, for example:
  • Things I am currently obsessed with:
  • Anything Doctor Who/David Tennant/Matt Smith
  • How awesome Iron Man 2 is
  • Guys who wear jackets/cardigans with elbow pads
  • Pesto (the food)
  • Sitting in the sun, listening to Vampire Weekend or Lady Gaga
  • Things I am always obsessed with:
  • Star Trek (The Original Series and XI)
  • David Bowie
  • Kurt Vonnegut
  • Purple (the colour)
  • Elbow (the band)
  • I have one tattoo on my left forearm of Kurt Vonnegut’s signature/self portrait, and have about 3 more planned
  • I’m an asthmatic, I have an astigmatism, and I’m near sighted, so there was pretty much no way I was getting out of being a nerd
  • As a guy I kinda dated put it: I am a “chubby brunette,” and I’m okay with it  XD
  • I hate snow
  • I love rain
  • Cooking is fun
  • I’m an “avid” knitter, and have been knitting for 6 or 7 years
  • I’m crafty (in the non Beastie Boys sense)
  • BITCHES DON’T KNOW ‘BOUT MY BORK
  • I tend to ramble. 

    …Yeah!

    That’s me, I suppose.

    If there’s anything else you want to know just ask (now with anonymity!).

    and again, thanks for following!  you lot are awesome! 

    :D

    i have had the most ridiculous 36 hours ever

    so yeah.

    i went to a party last night at around 1130 with the roommate and friends… and didn’t leave until 630am. and then i slept, which is odd because usually i never sleep the night before i travel. 

    but dammit if i didn’t oversleep… until 1pm, which made me have to catch the 2 o’clock train still a bit drunk from the night before.

    when my flight in copenhagen was to depart at 6.

    which is 3½ hours away.

    basic math will tell you that that only leaves a half hour buffer between getting to the airport and getting on the plane.

    FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

    the entire ride there i was moving between nausea from the thought of missing a $100 flight and nausea from the baby hangover i was nursing. but the train is moving and whatnot.  then i see the eta is 5:39. that’s 11 minutes to get throug security and to the gate before it closes.

    so i get to the airport, basically on the verge of a heart attack walk up to the desk and just kind of mumble something about ‘late’ and ‘flight’ and god knows what else.

    and fuck if the flight isn’t delayed for 25 minutes.

    FUCKING WIN.

    i could have passed out right then and it wouldn’t have surprised me.

    but anyway i get to sweden, get to stockholm and am now waiting for my friend to show up at the hostel without any form of communication to let me know whether or not she’s even in the country.

    mah life: it ez excite!
