Bit of an update :)

So, thats us well into July now and as I've said in a few of my past posts that when it gets into July there will be nothing stopping me being dead excited about spending summer with Ben:)
So, as pre-meditated, I have been thinking about it everyday, it's now got to the point where Ben gets frustrated that 16 days (how many it is today) can still be too far away...when really it's not. It's just that we've not seen eachother in so long. But, on wednesday, I got Megan staying over and then on saturday night I'm round at my friend Shona's with Megan for a night in with some soppy movies and plenty of chocolate and wine! Yey, I feel like such a girl saying that. So, by time next wednesday, it's just a week until Ben gets here, in a way he's lucky because he's still in school just now so the majority of his weekdays are taken up by school and spending time with his mates at lunch and stuff. But, I've been surviving, dragging out the days with silly things like taking the dog daily walks and making my bed (which I am kinda obsessed with now). I took all my posters down today and leaving them down over night just to let my walls breathe again because they probably won't breathe for another 3 years after tomorrow. And I'm also gonna get my floor hoovered under my bed and shiz and try and get it cleaned, but if I don't then I'll do it next week. I'm also doing the kitchen out, like all the cupboards and fridge, cleaning and organising so that nobody's eating crap thats out of date. I went through the sauce cupboard the other day and most of the mustards were out of date by atleast 2 months and ketchup and brown sauce was out of date! Which really shocked me...But atleast they're outta the house and long gone. I'm also gonna be doing the bathroom over again and cleaning that (I like cleaning the bathroom, its so shiny when your done, just makes you proud) and I think I'll be doing the pigs tomorrow or thursday when Megan has gone home.

Right, totally new subject. Donnie Darko, an extremely popular psychological thriller released in 2001 and you either get the film, or you don't. Up until about a month ago atleast. "October 1988 and a small town USA is about to witness the end of the world. Troubled, brilliant teenager Donnie Darko is plagued by terrifying visions and must unravel the strange occurences infecting his school, his home and his life before a horrifying spectre known only as "Frank" can pull him over the edge of his sanity" Okai, so that was the blurb. Notice how it only reaally mentions 3 key parts; Donnie, the end of the world, and this Frank character. Now, if you've seen the movie you will know that Frank is a grotesque looking horror humansized bunny rabbit. Okai, your probably thinking exactly when I first heard of it, "what the hell were these people smoking when they came up with this?!" So, obviously a movie with such an absurd blurb and pretty odd storyline, I becamse interested and watched it for the first time with Spike. And at first, I was like almost every other dipshit in the world and wondered what the hell was going on. But after watching it a second time I hooked on to a few little things and started to piece the movie together. A interview with the director, Richard Kelly, just a week after the release, he said that "The whole point of Donnie's journey is not to try and replicate the idea of Armegeddon or push fear into people's everyday lives that the world is going to end. Donnie Darko is like a new patient in a mental home. The movie, is waiting to be diagnosed. The clues are the tell-tale signs of a particular mental problem or defect. The viewers are the doctors, and each of these doctors may interperet the symptoms (scenes, clues, etc) in different ways and therefore come out with a different diagnosis of the movie/patient. The way the crew and I had planned the movie and the scenes and everything, was so that everyone who watched the movie could have their own understanding and diagnosis about it. And we succeeded." Now, I never heard or read this quote before tonight but I had pretty much the same point about the movie, that each person would interperet it differently because of their morals/upbringing/points of view etc. So I think I got Donnie Darko pretty spot on. Until tonight, when I was speaking to Ben on the phone, he said something about "Donnie Darko 2" and I was shocked and kind of went into denial, so I looked it up online and it exsists. So, I looked at the director, not Richard Kelly, looked at the cast, none of the original actors, and watched the trailer. I was fine, until I watched the damned trailer. Lead role, played by a pathetic american teenager who probably thinks she's the hottest thing on the block, the plotline is all over the place, it's over-dramatised and worst of all, the whole point os "S.Darko" (the name of the movie) is that it EXPLAINS the first movie, to the fffuuudging dipshits who didn't get it, because they cannot comprehend a bit of psychological knowledge. So, being a bit of a fan and thinking this ruined the whole movie to all us doctors who had diagnosed the first and best Donnie Darko was a bit pissed of. Donnie Darko, was a masterpiece of a film and I'm so sad that they have made this sequel to try and make it easier for people to comprehend. It's really pissed me of to be honest, it's like being given a heck load of clues about something or other, you solving them and being happy and then someone telling you that theres a different and ultimate answer. The worst thing is, because of the way Donnie Darko is, that everyone interperets it in a different way, that this sequel, is probably the new director's take on the old film. Which means, that in all these dipshit's minds, the fans/doctors of the original film/patient are ultimately wrong. And it has pissed me right off. So, I'm glad I got that off my chest :D I would recommend the first Donnie Darko to fans of psychological thrillers, it is an absolutely outstanding film and really gets you hooked until you diagnose it yourself. A real good film. Big deal for me to say that, I'm more a book person.

So, Micheal Jackson is dead. Why isn't that enough for the News? Earlier on, I was sent a video that was allegedly Micheal Jackson's ghost in his home in Neverland. Now, I don't believe in ghosts or spirits or anything like that, I have no problem with people that do, but I do feel like this is pushing the limits a bit. The man has not been dead 2 weeks and he's already been accused of over-dosing to get out of the 50 dates he had at the end of July, that he has faked his own death, and now, his ghost is living in his home? No, I'm sorry, but no. I'm appauled at the fact, that people can be so quick to get over the death of such an icon and legend in the music industry and accuse him of such shit! It just makes me so angry that a man cannot have his soul rest in peace after such a sudden and shocking death. I mean come'on people! Think about his family and children! Even his biggest most devoted fans who stuck by him through all weathers. Wake up, smell the coffee and have a bit of respect. You would want it for your family and friends, so try and give it to someone who had a wonderful family and wonderful friends.

So, on a lighter note. Britain's Next Top Model final was aired tonight. In the first half of the show, my favourite to win, Jade, was sent home. I cried, I will admit, but she got so far and will definately be a model, she was so beautiful and deserved every single bit of praise she got from the Judges. My second favourite (out of the final 3) went on to win it, Mecia. I was so so so so sooooooooooo glad that Mecia won it simply because the other lassie, Sophie was just SUCH a bitch. So, Mecia is Britain's next top model and I just want to wish her luck in everything she does and ofcourse lovely little quirky Jade who will go on to do amazing things. Well done to all the 20 girls who started in the series and I hope that your modelling dreams come true. While we're still on the subject...I..yes, Katie Greenlees, amd applying for the next cycle of Britain's Next op Model. Okai, so you might be thinking "But Katie, your a bit overweight to be a model" Yes, but the applications don't need to be in until the first of December which gives me plenty of time to get down to a good curvy 12. You need to be atleast 5 foot 7 to apply (I'm 5 foot 8) and between the ages of 18 and 23. And, I'm 18. So, I'm going for it! Ben is doing some photographs for me during the summer anyways, so I'll probably be using the photos he shoots and sending them of within the next 4 months! So, wish me luck everyone!

I'm of for now though, I spent ages on this post and hope it keeps you all reading for a while.
Love you all
Katie

P.s I Love You Ben 16 days, rawr xxxxxxx
