You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Welcome Kat!! / Tuesday, August 22, 2006 @ 12:39 AM
Its late and I am so frustrated!!I cant seem to find my sports shoes for tommorrow and the books and all the other million things on my desk is so messy, I find it hard to do anything! Thank goodness I finished some of my major assignments during the weekend. I just did 1 just now, and was about to the another assignment when the stupid mover came and look around the house..and yada yada yada...time flies, my work is not done and now I have to decide what to wear tommorow.
I really have no idea how in the world I am going to find the time to finish packing this week. If only I can hire someone to help me pack! I really really hate it! Of course some sweethearts have offered to help me pack my things but then I risk scaring them all away with my 1 million belongings. Seriously, its scary.
Deep breathing. I tend to panic a lot nowadays. Its like I get back from class, do endless assignments, eat, bath, pack things, I hardly have time for tv. With the mess around me, I feel disconnected somehow and I keep looking all over for my things. I hate moving!! It sucks that I have to fork out $200 for a bed..whats wrong with sleeping on the floor? So now I can spend the month not eating outside...the money spent on transport is slowly leading me to a slow death..whyyyyyyyyyyyy?????????
Ok..deep breathing. Ok I am done. Just needed to vent, please erase whatever negativty you have read from your mind.
You know what made my day today is receiving this guest post from Kat! Kat is my favourite person to hug online! Haha. She has a great blog to me because her writings are very personal, its like reading a chapter of her life from the past to now. Her blog is also a reflection of collective thoughts she has and they are intresting and always intriguing.
I enjoy Kats blog so much that despite having 20 great blog to choose from this week, she won my heart. BTW, to all who bidded please try again, I did mention I only accept blogs who bidded multiple times to be fair. This week was tough as there were some great blogs I wanted to pick, but that cat face at the tittle of the blog, melted my heart.
Her latest post include her tips on how to live longer. Its thought provoking and you guess it right, I love blogs like this!
Therefore, I have invited her over to guest post on the real reason, why her blog is named 'Kat's Knoll'. Come on and make me look good and go over and visit her and give her a hug. Its worth spending that extra energy to click!
Here is Kat!
It does not seem that long since I told my family that I wanted a place to keep my writings. That place became the knoll.
Although there is a lot I will never write. From my unwritten epic on the BlogExplosion/Iraqi War connection, to musings on intrusions on personal dignity and family and music that I could never quite sculpt into enough of a thought to call it an entry.
Going about your daily life, you know how you run several mental processes at once. You're thinking about the person you are meeting for lunch, you are also mulling over that book you finished last night, you're pondering that big issue at the back of your mind, you're probably trying to figure out the person you are currently talking to. It is interesting, because I find that almost all of my mental processes are inundated by the immense and constantly significant epiphany that this is all that matters. It is a very interesting phenomenon.
The knoll has been my sole hobby for about a year now and one thing it took me a while to realize is, everything is more TV. I'm not rigourous enough to learn from it, so I stagnate instead. Another was that the community of bloggers is as much a surrogate, or even just as valid a replacement for real interaction as any stay at home mom could ask for. I've noticed that generally, the more I have to do, the less I am at the knoll. Draw whatever conclusions you like from the evidence here. Perhaps, the more self-respect you have, the less you care about.
So, you have not found any profound wisdom, because I do not think I am that big, but when I am writing a 2000 word essay every day, I wonder whether Iam trying to get the cheap respect of strangers for it by maintaining the knoll, and I think that perhaps I will. I'have realized that I have learned more about myself and other people in the last year than in any other period. Now, the knoll should be the reason, and the knoll is not the reason. Perhaps a little disillusionment has sprung from the realization that a degree of acceptance has been offered me through the kindness of Noi.
And -- oh yeah -- my given name is Kat --! *meow*

I am usually found standing in line at the grocery store, but today Noi invited me over to say a few words on my reasoning behind naming my blog Kats Knoll. For what it's worth, here is my two cents on the matter.It does not seem that long since I told my family that I wanted a place to keep my writings. That place became the knoll.
Although there is a lot I will never write. From my unwritten epic on the BlogExplosion/Iraqi War connection, to musings on intrusions on personal dignity and family and music that I could never quite sculpt into enough of a thought to call it an entry.
