Long time no speak :)

2010-02-27T16:11:00.001-08:00

Hai everyone, sorry its been so long since we all spoke. Life has been pretty crazy lately. Sorry but this is just gonna be a short update on how things are going and whats going on really.

Work has been going realy well to be honest, not getting bored yet, but it is tedious, same problems day-in day-out. But atleast it's a job and it's got me doing something ^_^ Everyone is really nice there atleast, really get along with everyone which makes the job alot more bear-able. Oh and the fact I speak to men with English accents daily also helps me....motivated we'll say ;) But nahh, it's alright really, still enjoying it, getting out of the house atleast and gaining experience that one day will help out. Once you've been in one call centre, most others will take you on :D

School work has been going well. I had my English Prelim on the 17th. Hopefully should hear at some point this coming week the outcome. I also sat Scholarship Exams to get into Aberystwyth University at the start of Feb which went really well I think, still waiting to hear back about them though. Should hear back the week beginning 15th March. So, just two weeks on monday, it's passed so quick! Just hope I got it ^_^.

Outside of school and work things have been a bit hectic. People not being well and being in and out of hospital. I don't wanna announce it on here because it's not really my place. But hopefully things will work themselves out soon.

Sorry this was such a short update but I'll hopefully get something worth reading up soon ^_^

Love you all.

P.s Hi Debbie, hope everything is well with yourself. Thinking about you <3

Happy New Year Everyone!

2010-01-05T06:01:00.000-08:00

Let's hope, that for a change, we keep those New Year resoutions ;P

Hai everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and a spectacular New Year, whether you spent it with family or friend, or even out on the drink as I'm sure alot of you were :P I myself had a fairly quiet New Year this year, was down in Welsh Wales with Ben and his family :) We stayed in, watched G.I Joe, which to be fair, was pretty good and then counted down the bells at the end of the night. I didn't realise that English people sang Auld Lang Syne at New Year aswell, that sounds really horried, but I honestly thought it was just the bloody Scottish, but it's not :) Anyways, just gonna update on everything just now then go off to have a bath :)

So, Christmas Eve I was actually working, which wasnt so bad to be honest, everyone on the peone that day was really nice and wished me Merry Christmas at the end of every call which is very sweet. When I got home Mum had already cooked the turkey and wanted help doing the brussel sprouts and all the veg prep, so we sat down and watched "Scrooge" with a dram (JD and pepsi for me and Voddie and coke for mum) and did all the veg. Been doing the veg with Mum on Chrismtas Eve since I was old enough to use a sharp knife, so probably about 6 years but it's something that I'll never out-grow, I really enjoy doing it. So, once everything was done there, I was on MSN, chatting to Ben obviously :P And, yeah, a few others, but they're names escape my mind. Eventually we said goodnight and went to bed. Now, I turned 18 in 2009, and what is ridicilious, is that I still cannot get to sleep on Christmas Eve because of pure excitement! I'm not sure I will ever grow out of it, or maybe not until I've got my own flat/house/whatever! To be fair though, I did sleep until 9am on Christmas day, which is the ladtest I have EVER got up on Christmas Day, so, I'm getting better, fingers crossed it will improve :P I got a Bag from Next that I've wanted since I saw it in the catalogue, Lady GaGa's new album, loads of smellies, a gorgeous new night gown thats pink with white love hearts all over it, and other little bits and bobs. Granda was down for Christmas Lunch which was really nice, me and Calum bought him £10 worth of scratch cards, which he won £100 on one of them which was brilliant. Hannah had made sweets at school in H.E and gave them to him. Ever since Granny died he's been at ours for Christmas Lunch and the majority of Christmas day, so it'd be weird not to have him there now. I had a few drinks that night but was not drunk by any stretch of the imagination (though, Ben if he had seen me probably would have said I was).Boxing Day was a bit hectic for me, I had to pack, dye my hair, tidy my room, wash clothes that I was taking to Ben's, sort out where most of my Christmas presents were going inbetween having a bath, eating and helping Mum. But I did do it! I got everything done :D With time to cut my hair also. And ofcourse, I had turkey sandwiches for lunch and then a second turkey dinner that night. Everyone went out to see Auntie Susan, Uncle John and they're kids, and Hazel, Derren, Jamie and Bethany. I couldn't really go as I had so much to do. But that was fine, I got a day to myself and I enjoy my own company most of the time. So then, it was the 27th, which, excited me more than the 25th did to be honest. I was going to see Ben again! For the first time since the 25th of August. Long time I know, so I got up early than my alarm was set for, body was way over excited. And did my usual, tiday up, make bed, hoover room, bath and brush teeth, hair, get dressed, makeup and then put my bag in the boot of the car, sorted out my hand luggage all whilst speaking to Ben pretty much, then said bubi to Ben for the time being and set of to the airport. The flight was delayed three hours, which was really rubbish but I'm just relieved it wasn't cancelled to be honest. So the flight was fine, well, other than the spawn of satan child sitting in the set of seats infront of me. But I was sitting to a really lovely woman called Laura who is a criminal psychologist and we had a really good conversation about psychology and the brain chemistry and my career choice which is to be a Sex and Relationship Therapist. (Yeah, I know I'm gonna get asked about that, but feel free, I'm not embarassed about talking about it to be honest) When we landed, thats when the butterflies from my toes, to my finger tips to the roots of my hair started fluttering, as usual the wait for my bag is a pain in the arse because I know how close Ben is and I need to wait before I can go through. Eventually having my bag I get stuck behind a slow pair of pensioners, buggers and eventually got out and got a big hug :D YAY <3 xoxo Loved it lots :D Anyways, so the drive home, we got KFC for dinner, lol, good times, when Ben and I went to Glasgow in April 09 we had KFC for breakfast one day :P So bad but so so good! Saw Debbie and Harry again which was great, I goot say Debbie, your looking absolutely brilliant! Met Mick's parent's aswell; Kath and Big Mick who were both lovely :) On the 28th we went through to Cardigan to go see James Cameron's Avatar with Tux, Hayley, Chris and Conn. It was a really good fun day and we had a laugh. Avatar was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G, I mean, it was in 3D which was awesome, but it still woulda been amazing without 3D to be honest. I really enjoyed it, I had been sceptical about seeing it but I really truely enjoyed it. 2 hours and 40 minutes of pure movie enjoyment, that hasn't happened in a long time for me. It's definately now one of my favourite movies. Tuesday, if I remember rightly, we had a quiet day inside, just snuggling on the couch. Wednesday we went up to Carmarthen, bumped into Troy and Seth and I think that was about it. But I did get a new pair of shoes for £15 that were down from £30 I think. Which, was okai, but I did want a pair, and I hadn't bought myself anything, so I thought I'd treat myself. As usuall I dragged Ben into Claires Accessories where there was a blue plaid Russian hatty thing, which, Ben seemed to think was cute on me, but I didn't think so. We went into Body Shop and got a bit dizzy of the scents everywhere, Ben bought himself blueberry body butter which smells AMAZING :D Blueberry boy ;) Thursday being New Years Eve we stayed in and had a lazy day, and as the first paragraph has my mini story about that night I'm not gonna repeat myself :) New Years day and the 2nd we had lazy day's aswell, chilled out, watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which, exceeded my expectations a little, but thats fine because I truely enjoyed it. And the older and eviler he gets, the more I seem to fancy Draco Malfoy :P Still got a thing for Bad Boys apparently :P Going home was sad, but I'm getting better at it. Ben said he was proud of me :D Got home and Bonnie went skitz as usuall, I genuinely think she misses me when I'm away, can't imagine what it'll be like when I get off to uni :P

And well, since I've got home I was in work yesterday and not in today because of the weather :) Dunno if I'll be back tomorrow, guess it's a case of wait and see really. Sooo, yeah, that was a rather long blog but I suppose it makes up a little for not posting alot in the last few months of last year, I'm gonna try and update once every week or two weeks, depending on whats going on to be honest. But hopefully youll be hearing more from me this year :D

Off just now everyone, hope yous aren't too snowed in! I hear the whole country has it as bad as we have it here. Keep warm :)

Love you all

Katie

P.s I Love You Ben xoxo Rawr

Oh the weather outiside is frightful...and bloody cold :P

2009-12-20T11:44:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys, sorry I haven't updated in over like, 2 months? My bad, been meaning to be haven't been feeling the motivation really. So heres a little blog just to get myself back into the swing of it :P

Been at my new work for almost 2 months and I've been on the phones for a whole 5 weeks already. I'm really enjoying it and it's really easy work when you know what your talking about when your using computers :) The whole team are really nice; Aimee, Julie, Fi, Tania, Ross, Denise, Tony, Kirene, James, Gareth and Sandra ofcourse :) Everyone has been really welcoming and have been there to help when I haven't been able to do something or needed help with something. We get paid weekly which is nice, every friday although this coming week it will be thursday as friday is christmas day! OHMYDAYS. So yeah, but I'm really enjoying it and really glad I actually got a job.

Onto the subject of Christmas 2009, I'm not posting any information about what I got people but I do know you all will love yours :) I mighta went a bit OTT with some people, but it's to be expected with the people I have :P I cannot believe it's already only 5 days to Christmas, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with their family and hopefully have a white Christmas.

Now, New Year, as most people who read my blog will know I am going to Ben's for new years this year. I fly down on the 27th and arrive back home on the 3rd of January, I'm not really sure if he's got much planned but I know we're gonna go see James Cameron's Avatar :D Well looking forward to that :) I also know I'll be meeting Mick's parent's Kath and Big Micka and also meeting Tanya Keira and Aiden :) Best behaviour then, not wanna show my mother up ;)

The pictures at the top of the post is the snow we woke up to today in Inver, it's about 7/8 inches worth of it and it's beautiful. Cold but beautiful, last night, it had started snowing, I ran outside and jamp on the trampoline, and almost fell on my arse a few times but survived ;) My mind reverts back to being a 5 year old when snow is around! True story, ask Ben :P Bonnie was also VERY excited by the snow, so excited she didn't stop to pee when I took her for a walk and therefore left a yellow streak through the snow. Stupid dog.

So I think thats about it...uuummm, yeah :) I'll be posting hopefully before Christmas and hopefully before I leave for Wales :) If not, then I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year :)

Love yous all

Hokie Kokie, Big Update, Have the cuppa on hand :P

2009-10-16T05:27:00.000-07:00

Right, hey guys and dolls. It's friday the 16th of October, a nice day in Scotland! Oh MY God I know Lol. So, I've not properly updated recently so here goes :)

First off, I got the Job I applied for. I had the interview last friday and got the call back on wednesday to say I got it. I'm working for BT, the holding is called "ManPower" ,which is ironic because the only people I've seen working there are women) and my job pretty much entails picking up the phone and using a computer. Both things I do daily. I start on the 26th of this month and my general hours for the first 4 weeks should be 9-5 or 10-6. 10-6 is much better because it will be easier for me to get into Alness for that time. But I guess we'll see. My pay rate is awesome. I'm not gonna publicly write it on here but feel free to message me on my Bebo or Facebook or Hotmail and I'll let you know if you would like to :) So thats really my BIG news.

Secondly, the weight loss which I haven't updated. I've now lost a stone and 3 pounds. I'm delighted with that amount so far, it's only been 5 weeks today so I'm chuffed to bits :) Its really beginning to become noticeable which is great and my clothes are just becoming too big now. Thats me started shifting sizes I guess. :D

Thirdly, Halloween is just around the corner now and I'm not 100% sure on what I wanna dress up as...Megan and I are planning Invergordon and everyone knows you get free drinks If you dress up. So anyone got any ideas for me? Last year I was a devil and I don't feel like being the same thing. I was thinking Vampire or Cat...so yeah. Help me out guys!

Okai, so um, I think thats about it really. I know I said long post but it's just not. Sorry guys. Ill try and update soon but gettin ready for this new job is taking up the majority of my time.

Speak to all of you soon

Katie

Oooohhh

2009-10-08T06:21:00.002-07:00

Who does the picture look like? Ben. I really realy think so. Not identical obviously, but alot alike blue eyes, dark hair, jaw structure, similar lips. His name is Daniel and he lives in Germany. The funny thing is though, is that he finds me attractive. And I told Ben about this. Ben's response was rather funny; Ben says: Me types also have a type, its the you type. That was his response on MSN hence the "Ben says". But yeah, basically what he's saying that anyone that looks like him is gonna be attracted to me? Well, thats fine by me. :P
Thats all now folks. I'll write again soon. Promise
Love you all

Quickle Tickle Update :)

2009-10-08T05:54:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone. Its the 8th of October so before I say anything I want to wish my little sister Hannah happy 13th birthday and hope all her dreams come true this year. Love you Hanzie xoxo

That out of the way I can tell you the good news :) I have an interview on friday for Manpower in Alness, its pretty much a BT call centre. Proper 9-5 job but it is a job and I desperately need one. Interview is friday at 1.30pm. Julie (the woman on the phone and probably the woman wthat will be interviewing me) said I could be in there for up to 2 hours by time all questions had been discussed/answered. So obviously, I'm really hoping I'll get this one :) Wish me luck everyone.

A little update on the school situation. I've got work to do on Empire of the Sun. Art is coming along well. And I'm also looking into doing something like Sociology through UHI online. That'll be another 2 highers and a HND under my belt if I do those. Aberystwyth have to take me now :P

The weight loss is going brilliant. 12 pounds so far, only 2 more and it will be a whole stone! Delighted obviously. It'll also mean I lost a stone in 4 weeks. So I'll probably be aiming to average a stone a month, give or take a few pounds. Which is really really reeally good. Mum reckons by my 19th birthday I'll be in the trousers I wanna be in. Yay!

I think thats about all I've got to update on everyone. If theres anything else I'll write later.
Some random photos at the top there, hope you like them :) Just a few randomly selected from the folders on my computer :)

Love you all

Heya guys :D

2009-09-28T06:53:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone. First of I wanna apologise for the lack or and the sheer crapness of my last 2 blogs,they were awful I know. Um, theres been alot going on in the past 2 weeks that has changed me as a person for good and I am moving on stronger than ever :)

Right so, I guess yu guys want an update. Well, I been job hunting, not such luck so far but the Tain Youth Cafe is hiring for Detached youth worker for friday and saturday nights at £9 an hour! I don't really go out those nights so its not big deal anyways. Just beens i'll be a weekday girl :) So fingers crossed for me guys! Being in the house all the time is driving me round the bend.

I am also officially an adult pupil of Tain Royal Academy doing Higher English and Higher Art so hopefully we'll get good marks from them :D

Ummm, I have taken out 3 of my lip piercings and am now left with just my medusa and my first regular lip piercings (pictures at the top of post) Hope you like, tell me what you think :)

Ummm...can't really think of anything else to say right now.
I will update soon everyone!
Love you all
Katie

P.s I Love You Ben xoxo rawr

Hey everyone :)

2009-09-21T10:05:00.000-07:00

This isn't gonna be a massive post, but its just a quick update on everything thats going on.

1. I'm now an adult pupil in Tain Royal Academy doing Higher English and Art. So, thats that, doing the courses at home with assigned homework and coursework etc once a week or so. I've started reading mthe book "Empire of the Sun" for English and started painting for my art. Hopefully get my first A :D

2. Still looking for a job, places showing promise then turning me down 'cos someone else got it first and things like that and the sheer fact there is very little going right now.

3. I now only have 2 lip piercings, I took 3 out because recently I've been thinking alot about growing up and changes that need to be made, and it doesn't seem like that big a deal bit it is to me because its letting go of a part of me that was obsessed with that and it's just one of the little changes I'm making. I'll put some pictures up as soon as I can.

4. My friend Megan has just moved into her student accomodation in Aberdeen and I just wanna wish her all the luck in the world with her Environmental Science course and just let her know that no matter what I'll always be here for her. Love you Megan :)

5. And finally, this is a big deal for me to be writing this publicly, but I have started seriously loosing weight, for alot of different reasons, but I have. I will probably keep updates/progress on here without telling you guys how much I actually weigh. But yeah...thats all I really have to say about that.

I'm sorry this blog is poorly written and really boring but I felt like I should write something.
I'll update again soon when there's something new to talk about.
Thank you to everyone who has sent me emails of concern but there is really nothing to worry about, just something has happened that I never expected to happen.

I'll speak to all of you soon okai.
Love you all
Katie
xoxo
P.s The picture at the top of this post, I just though was really well done, I just wanted to share it.

Sorry

2009-09-14T05:02:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the recent lapse in my blogging everyone. I've got alot going on right now and just not feeling up to writing my blogs. Sorry for everyone who visits daily, I will update as soon as I feel better and able.

Katie
xoxo

Fancy a catch-up?

2009-08-26T13:13:00.001-07:00

Okai, so hey everyone. It's the 4th of September and I just got back from Welsh Wales last tuesday. And I know it's obvious, but yes I had an amaazing time. Wait? It was so amazing that amazing deserves 3 A's? Lol. Anyways, yeah, Ben and I were here until the 5th and I was down for 20 days. I can't give you an exact re-run but I can tell you the highlights of my stay...and I'll try do them in order. First off, seeing Debbie, Mick, Harry and all the animals and meeting lovely little Barney and Beau was wonderful. Seeing the view from Ben's bedroom windows and snuggling up in Ben's bed which is so comfy and cosy and snuggly. I think the first highlight was the bailing we did. Right, some explaining, Ben's family live on a ten acre...farm? Just without the sheep and cows. And have 2 fields where they grow hay, I think they got about 500 bales this year which is a good haul. So, naturally me being that I was going to help out. I ended up being the one standing on the back of the trailer passing the bales to Ben and Debbie while Mick and Harry stacked them in the barn. But that was only the first day. The next morning Mick, Harry, Ben and I got up early and drove up to the top field to finish off while Debbie had a bit of a long-lie. I, despite the fact I have never sat in the driver's seat and have only ever pressed down the gear-stick in a car...drove and Izuzu Jeep, with a trailer on the back WITH Ben on the trailer. Impressive huh? WEll, not really actually, at first I was just kinda steering while it rolled down the hill, but I did get a wee go of driving, and yes, I was terrified and it was terrifying, but I enjoyed it. So, yeah...that was absolutely great fun and I would love to be around next year for the bailing. I think the next thing I really enjoyed was going round to Dyfrig's for the night while Chris was staying over for the week. And for those who don't already know Chris, he is extremely good with computers and loves World Of Warcraft. So, even though I don't understand the concept or the point of the game, I ended up having a go...it was the being able to dress your characters up and make them pretty and for the sheer fact that some of the characters were hilarious looking. So that was that. We were round at Dyfrig's again a few days after that for Dyfrig's pre-birthday barbecue thing. That was quite a good night because everyone had a sociable few drinks and had a good laugh. I also met Dyfrig's sister, he partner and their baby Ffion who was one of the sweetest babies ever. Oh, we also had the Medieval Day up at Harry's riding school that Debbie put a huge amount of work into helping it happen. It was a great day, Harry's display in the morning was excellent, he was the dark knight on his dragon (Embony dessed as a red dragon). Donna, the woman who owns the riding school ended up picking the head up of the mock person and throwing it at the girls in the ring who were screaming whilst laughing with the head entrails flying out. I also saw a dressage disply for the first time in about 5 years, Ben's friend Lowri was doing this and it really reminded me of my times trying to persuade Odin to do dressage. There was alos a tug of war later on in the day which at one point the plastic police man fell over. Which tickled everyone. And at one point of the day there was piggy back jousting. Ben and Harry decided they'd give it a go...and at one point, Harry had leant far too far over on one side and with Ben's balence and the fact they were going down hill they tumbled to the ground. Which also got everyone going. The raffle was drawn later on in the day and I won myself a big stuffed teddy pig. I think Ben might be taking it on the plane as hand-luggage next time he comes up LOL. Ummm, I think I'm gonna have to finish this of in another post because I've got things to do today :).
I shall update/finish soon.
Love you all
Katie

2009-07-26T22:37:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone. Ben has now been here for....6 days and we've pretty much be lazing around alot, having late nights and late mornings. We really haven't been doing much, been round to the pub 2 nights for a few games of pool and a few drinks. We're of up to see the new film by Sacha Baron Cohen "Bruno" today. I rrreeeaaaaalllyyyyy want to see this, it looks so so so so so so so funny. I promise I will try and write about it sometime before we leave for Wales :)

Thats pretty much it tbh, Ben is through having a shower and a shave and I'm straightening my hair (I had a shower last night and my hair is still fine) Oh, talking about my shower last night...I'm sure you'll remember my rather graphic description of the boil I had on my left boob...well, now, it's like this mini-stump of rock solid crap just needs to come out, and it'll go away. Not that simple...remember I said last time that it was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life, last night, trying to squeeze this solid crap out, was even more painful. I'm making an appointment with my GP and going in about it to see what should be done. Will keep you all updated :)

Gonna go just now, gotta finish my hair and then get ready.

Love you all

Katie

P.p.s The photos up the top I just wanted to share because of their sheer cuteness and sweetness, especially the monkey and baby tiger...it made me cry its so cute :)

THE HANDS ARE COMPLETE

2009-07-16T10:55:00.000-07:00

So, the other day..I wrote a blog, and in that blog I mentioned my current painting...well, the hands, are complete. Theres still the figures in the background to go, but the hands alone took me 7 hours along with 4 different paintbrushes, 5 colours and a heck of alot of patience and a steady hand. I mean, they are pretty good...I'm happiest with the woman's wrist, but the man's fingers. I know I can still improve on it, but that will come afer I've moved onto another painting for a while and then come back to this one :D

Gonna go though, busy bee just now.

Love you all

Quickle Tickle Update :)

2009-07-13T08:25:00.000-07:00

So, it's been a good week since I last wrote a blog, figured I was writing alot and should take a few days out from blogging. I took a few more than planned but what a wekend it was.

On wednesday night I had my bestest friend Megan stay over for a good girlie catch up and a night out. So, she got here, we had some dinner and got all dolled up! I felt and looked like such a hooker, but I put one of my bowed hairbands in and I felt more innocent then...made me feel alot better. It was the best excuse to wear my shoes that I got in Glasgow. So we headed round to Inver Pub and started a few games of pool. I was obviously drinking Jack Daniels and coke so by time I had finished my first one I was pretty jolly and Megan was drinking her poofjuice WKD. She likes it, fair enough. I think we had 5 games of pool, and I won them all. Megan is pretty poor at pool along with the fact my mum played for a men's team in her younger years. Don't get me wrong, she's still good, she just...has her days you know? Theres a Jukebox in the pool room in the pub which is the best thing ever because its none of the shite they play on the radio these days like pussycats trolls and shit. It's proper stuff, Hot Chocolate, ABBA, the OLD Now 40's and stuff. So, we had Britney Spears opps i did it again, Hot chocolate: you sexy thing and rakes of other old stuff and just generally had a really good time. I really love going out with my mates, even though it was just me and Megan I wouldn't have had that night any other way, it was really good fun. When we got home we watched a movie I have called "Valentine" and I don't think it's a very famous film, but it has got the guy that played Angel in thr TV series Angel, and, yes, you guessed it girls, he makes the film soooo worth watching ;) Megan left on thursday morning about half past ten and I was left to my own devices with half a bag of toffee popcorn...you can imagine..

So, that was that. Then, over the weekend. I know someone who will end up reading this, Debbie, shall already know. But, I'm going to say it for others who haven't heard and to embarass Ben seen as he does it to me all the time. Right, probably about 3/4 months ago, Ben booked his flights for summer, the flights were meant to be from the 22nd of July to the 5th of August. But, being a bit of a fool sometimes, he had accidently clicked 22nd of JUNE, now, Ben was still in school then, and I had obviously left, but he couldn't come up that early, it would have been an extra 30 days (Not that I would have complained, but I think mum would have had something to say about it.) But thank goodness he notied! Because we were talking about it, getting all excited about seeing eachother again, and he said "Are you sure it's a wednesday I'm coming down, because I'm sure it was a monday" and I say "Ofcourse I'm sure, it's been one week less every wednesday!" So, he logged onto his email and checked and notcied the month difference in dates...and it was one of those moments of pure shock that men don't deal with well..."Ohhh..shit. Katie" You know what I mean I'm sure girlies. So, he had a check to see if there was still flights for the 22nd of July and there was, but the 21st was an insane amount cheaper, so he decided that if my mum was okai with it and Debbie and Mick were okai with it, he'd gor for that one. My mum said it was fine, Debbie and Mick said it was fine, so thanks to Ben's silly little easy to make mistake, he gets here a day early! I'm so glad he noticed though, can you imagine? Them driving from the house, all the way to Bristol just to find out that he was meant to board that flight a month ago....that would not have been good...not atall. I would have been absolutely gutted. But its sorted, Ben gets here on the 21st of July and I promise I will try and update atleast once, even if its the day before we leave to fly down. Promise I will try.

Okai, so last thing before I go make my dinner, I have made up my mind about university, basically, fi I get my grades this year for Glasgow I will go, if not I'm gonna get a job obviously. And if I do or don't go to Glasgow, I'm going to apply for Abersywyth for Fine Art and maybe an extra combineable course like history (art history) or education (for teaching art). So, I've got a portfolio to create so that I'm fully eligible to apply. I've ben doing bits and bobs here and there but admittedly haven't sat down and painted a few solid hours since laste April maybe? So, just yesterday, I decided I was going to. I picked a picture I had saved to my computer ages ago of a couple holding hands (it'll be somewhere around) and have also taken a picture of my progress on the picture which will also be located somewhere. They are NOT exactly the same and I do not intend on them to be, I like putting my own spin on things. But, its would be really really really great if you guys could give me some feedback about it. Leave a comment and let me know.

Okai, so I'm gonna go, tummy is growling and demanding food so I shall speak to you all soon hopefully.

Love you all

Katie

Bit of an update :)

2009-07-06T15:12:00.000-07:00

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

Henna?

2009-07-01T03:52:00.000-07:00

Right, one of the Religious education teachers in the school is absolutely lovely. Mrs Humble (I know, she sounds like a teacher in simpsons or something) but she is so lovely. And not long ago, there was a 1st year/buddy (6th year) day. And one of the things involved was doing fake henna. Just with face paints but the traditional patterns, drawings and shapes. So, I gave it a good bash...it was pretty bad :(. But, I went to see her not long after, and I asked her where she got her proper henna from (She is really interested in other cultures) and told me I could have some. So, she gave me maybe, a wee handful of it, and for ages I hadn't tried it. And yesterday, out of pure boredom I did. Nothing traditional or outrageously complicated, but i tried it, I drew a little heart on my hand where I one day want a tattoo (not sure what). So, I paintedf that on and left it to dry, and before the colour could really stay, the dry henna had crumbled of. But, overnight, the colour has totally intensified, now it's the colour of skin birth marks you know? It's really cute though. Really wanted to share that. Will definately be sing that henna more often and investing in more when its gone.

Talking about tattoos, I was sitting watching miami ink on youtube last night, the Tattoo studio in Miami run by Ami, Chris Garver, Chris Nunez, Darren Brass and the apprentice Yogi something (I can't for the life of me spell his second name, so I'm not even gonna attempt it). And just watching how they deal with the customers and how some of the people that go in have got really personal stories and how the tattooist, helps them get through whatever it is, if its a loss in the family, illness in the family, new stage in life, moving on you know. It's just such an amazing thing to be doing. I can still see myself turning out as a tattooist because it's 2 things I like in one, spending time with people and art. But we'll see...take things one step at a time. But while I was watching it, I was thinking about getting my first tattoo and how truly excited I am. I mean, it was a big deal for me a few years ago, to get a tattoo, and now, becaue I'm 18, the novelty of being able to get one is wearing of. But I'm sure when I've got it I'll brag about it to anyone who will listen. I already have been asked to film a few bits and because Ben is gonna be there holding my hand he said he would :) So, I will have tattoo footage! Yay! Can't wait, 7th of August :D

Gonna go just now though, got things to be doing.
Love you all

1 o'clock in the morning quickle tickle update

2009-06-28T16:51:00.000-07:00

So, it's one in the morning and I can't sleep for the life of me even though I only got about 2 hours sleep last night thanks to my mothers snoring. (Yes, she was in my bed for soem reason) I went out earlier that night, with a few of my old friends and ended up staying out later and getting a tad more drunk than i expected and ended up dancing on the pool table and trying to pee in a urinal...standing up... (Just heard about that one about an hour or 2 ago) So, I should really try and cut down on the drinking I think. But it was fun and my friend Knuckles (Kevin) took me home in the early hours of the morning, he hadn't been drinking so he was okai to drive, he had promised me he'd take me home and he kept his promise. I got home about quarter past 3 and I creep into the house as best i can with wet trainers on a wet flooring looking forward to my cosy (empty) comfy bed. I open the door and mum is lying there...so...yeah...damnit.. So I get changed as usualt and climb in, and everytime, I was nearly asleep, honest to God, a breath away from being asleep, he snoring suddenly gets louder. I eventually resort to going to the couch, but dad is there, so I go to their bed, and sleep there for about 2 hours until mum decides that she wants her bed...so I go back to my bed and can't sleep 'cos I had been up too long. So yeah, eventful sunday morning I might add.

I was also speaking to my friend Dyfrig (who I know through Ben) tonight on msn, and I asked him about the uber long welsh town name..'cos I want to be able to say it...and I still can't, I've even written it down...it needs 2 lines! What town needs that big a word?! LLanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychyrndrobwllllantsiligogogoch.

Outrageously long word...my reaction was "Jeez Dyfrig, whys it so long?!" You can imagine his reaction...it was innocent...I swear. Totally innocent and about the word. He also told me how to say "I Love You" in welsh, simply because I asked (don't want anyone getting the wrong ideas about me and Dyfrig...Ben) and its "Cari ti" simple as that, so now I know how to say I Love You in about...12 different languages? I think...I'll need to post them all one day. Promise I will, can't be bothered just now with other languages, to early/late. If you know what I mean.

Okai, so I guess you were all expecting my first chapter,well, it's not done yet. I'm proof reading, I prefer to proof read per chapter and then when its done all over again, then it's kinda thoroughly checked and then just checked, OCD I know, but it's always worked for me. On the subject of books, I am a lover of the Harry Potter's. It was those books that really got me into reading, I swear the first book, I used to read it in 3 nights (spending about and hour to an hour and a half) while listening to Ronan Keating "When you say nothing atall" over and over again. I've read that book atleast 30 times. Ridicilious I know, but I fell in love with Harry, absolutely and completely. This was when I was in proimary school in Inver. And at Inver, every thursday first half of the day in primary 5 6 and 7 ('cos all 3 of those classes were together with the same teacher) we had to write a story. And we were given the title and then we had to make it up. Then one glorious thursday, where I would truly be given my chance to shine, Mrs DeJocnkiere ( I don't even know if thats how you spell it) set us a homework assignment. To write, atleast a 5 chapter book, that has been inspired by, another author. So, me being me the way I was back then, did Harry Potter. And, I called it "Harry Potter and Dumbledor's Secret" Now, I thought I had chucked this out years ago, but, the other day, when I was doing out my cupboard, I found it, all 17 pages of it. I'm seriously considering posting it on here so you can all just awwwhhh at my sweet primary sixness that has now dissappeared. I also found my excercise book for writing our thursday classwork assignments in, theres only 2, but I still have them and they are funny. The first one in the contents page is called "The Fire breathing mountain" , basically what used to happen was, we were put into pairs, and I remember this particular day, I was paired with Greig Ripley, one of my fellow primary 6's (there was only 3 of us, me, Greig and Micheal) and Greig, was very...Jim Carrey like in school, weird hair, funny face...odd teeth...you know what I mean. He had a great sense of humour and I still see him from time to time but not alot. And, because of his love for humour and not such strong love for being quiet, he took the piss a bit out of everything I wrote. And I remember saying to him "I bett I get a gold star for this story and you won't get anything but sent to the end of the line at lunch time, and it's pizza today." I so remember rubbing this in his face, and what happens, I do get a gold star...theres only 2 stories in this book I never got a star for and he was mucking about so much that he did get sent to the back of the line and got the 2 smallest pieces of pizza left and the scrawny undercooked chips. I don't know what possesed me to tell you guys about that, but why not. Just some good old childhood memory. I was never paired with Greig again and one day turned out to be his first kiss...even though he pretended to hate me...because thats what boys do when they like girls...not even just at that age...just generally...men never grow out of this...its sort of naive but very cute.

Talking about first kiss, I was reading a friends blog the other day (I was planning on posting this now, I was going to tomorrow, but I may aswell now) and she was talking about her first kiss. How old she was, where and how it happened, what happened afterwards. You know, all that stuff. And she asked, anyone who was reading her blog to respond to it with their first kiss. So, here I go. Right, start of with the basics then go into the details. His name was Ashley Gretorix, and he was in the year belowe me, I was in primary 5 and he was in primary 4 which makes me about...8 or 9 and him about 7 or 8. Really young I know, but it's a very sweet sweet story and I will tell anyone who listens. We were really close friends, he was really into Micheal Jackson and Pokemon and I was really into Guns and Roses and Pokemon. So, we got on pretty well. And one day his mum, Vicky, was down visiting and he obviously came (they lived about 3 miles down the road towards tain). We had recently been sitting my swirly chair on my bed and making a tent out of my throw over, swirly chair and the headboard on my bed. So we were sitting under this, playing Pokemon cards. Having a "battle". And, when I inevitably won, we packed up and leant against the wall. (this is where it gets cute so be prepared) and he asked me if I liked him. And I said ofcourse I did, that he was my best friend. And he said no, more than just a friend, and I said I wasn't sure. And then, he asked me, if he could kiss me, like they do in coronation street (HOW CUTE?) and I said yes...and that was my first kiss. When we stopped he asked if he could kiss my neck like the do in coronation street to and I said if he wanted to. I will never forget that. And I remeber climbing out from under and holding his hand and walking through to the kitchen to see my mum and Vicky smile at us. So, obviously, now I've told my first kiss story, I want anyone who reads my blog to write a blog about their first kiss. And if you don't remeber it, your first kiss with your current partner. Or your most embarssing kissing exprience.

I'm going to go now though, it's now 25 minutes to one and I need some beauty sleep. These eyes don't stay blue because they want to.

Speak to you all soon

Love you all

Another Quickle Tickle Update :)

2009-06-27T10:16:00.001-07:00

So, guys, as you all know I like having different coloured hair and have realised that I have not told you guys what I'm getting done during the summer. I am getting a dark brown with pinky purpley streaks :) I shall have a photo somewhere on this post so you can have a lookie and tell me what you think. On the 4th of August Ben and I are going to the Hair dressers in tain for 9 o'clock in the morning, and won't be done until about 1pm in the afternoon. Long time, but worth it. Looking forward to that :)

The weather has been amazing the past few weeks. Sunshine everyday and very few clouds. Our hottest so far was 32 degrees here in the Highlands of Scotland so if the weather carries on this way, we're in for an amazing summer.

And last but now least, the next post I post, will be the first chapter of my short story which I have decided to call the Big Day. So, you can all look forward to that :D

Gonna go just now though, gonna type up more of my short story for you guys.

Love you all

Quickle Tickle Update

2009-06-26T02:58:00.000-07:00

Another little update for any of you who are visiting.

I'm sure you've all heard the bad news about The King of Pop, Micheal Jackson who died at the age of 50 during the night of a serious Heart Attack. I am so shocked, it's like, the end of an era, it's like Kurt Cobain all over again. MJ was truly a legend and will forever hold that place in my mind. I LOVE his music and his style, my thoughts are with his family and close friends. R.I.P Micheal Jackson, your memory will live on in your music forever.

So, I just wanted to say a little bit about MJ because I really am a bit of a fan. So with that out of the way, I have ben a very busy bee cleaning my room. As you all know from my older posts I've cleared everything out now I'm going through the cleaning, yeah I am dragging it out, because then I will make a better over-all job. Today, so fay (it's only 11) I have cleaned my TV stand, hung-up the rest of my clothes, made my bed, sorted out my PJ's, breakfast pants and underwear drawers AND, organised the bottom half of my TV stand. Yesterday, I cleaned my mirror, hoovered, dusted, sorted out my shoes very orderly in my walk-in closet and sorted out my bedside drawer. (I've obviously been doing other things throughout the day; eating, drinking some tea, taking the dog a walk yadda yadda yadda you know?) I'm chilling out over the weekends and not doing much, some general things I enjoy like drawing, painting, reading, scrapbooking and thinking of other things I can do to clean (God I'm turning into my mother). So yeah, my room is looking and feeling really good, clean and nice. I'm really happy with it all so far but still got a few things I really need to do because they've not been done in a while. But yeah, thats about it from my room.

I have got another favour to ask you guys...I know I'm asking for alot recently...but it's for my art portfolio. I've been playing/experimenting with my make-up recently...and been having ALOT of fun with it. Now, I class make-up artistry as a form of art, as I do with graffitti (with an actual message not "Chavette waz ere" thats just stupid, graffitti artists such as Banksy, with an actual political message and somehting to say) and photography. Both are not completely un-recognised art-forms, but grafitti certainly is. Okai, so the favour I'm asking, is there anyone out there, that would be willing to let me use their face as a canvas. (I like the word canvas, like REALLY like it) So, if your willing, I am very good with make-up, I mean, I can make myself look good, I'm just gonna make you all look even better! You can bring along your own make-up buy I'll pre-dominately be using my own unless you specifically ask me to use yours. You can also say what kind of look your comfortable with doing, I know alot of people aren't keen on my neon colours, so I could do something totally different on you :). So just let me know, leave me a comment or send me an email or mail me through Bebo. I will get back to you :)

So, I dunno if theres anything else I can talk about...nope...so I'm gonna go.

I shall speak to you all soon hopefully
Love you all

:/ and Quickle tickle update

2009-06-22T15:28:00.001-07:00

Okai, so apologies in advance, I know my last blog was tinged with sadness, and this one will be full on sadness(for this paragraph anyways). Basically, what's happened is someone very close to my heart has died. I'm not going to go into detail but I might not be posting anything for a few days. I know blog posts only take maybe a half hour (well, for me anyways) but I didn't really feel like posting this and I'm pretty sure I won't post for a few days. As I said I'm not going into detail but her name was Bekka and she was found yesterday. If anyone wants to know more or anything just leave me a comment or email me if you have my address, I'm not posting it on here because I don't want randomers finding it and spamming me crap. So, yeah, if you want to hear the full story feel free to drop me a comment or and email. I'll be happy to hear from anyone just now to be honest.

Anyways, so yeah, It's basically just a month until Ben is here and as always am dead excited. Been clearing out my room, and I mean serious clearing out, done my wardrobe, my bookcase, my TV stand my desk and ofcourse my windowsills which are cuulprits for being bundled up with stuff. I'm also going to be cleaning my floor and re-doing my posters within the next 2 weeks. I think what I might do is take a few picture of my room because I know alot of people actaully haven't seen my room recently or ever. So probably within or just after the next 2 weeks I shall post pictures of my room :) I've made some general plans for summer for me and Ben. A few suprises too but he probably won't see this as I don't think he barely ever reads my blog. But yeah, got general plans for when we're here and not made plans form when we're in Wales because it's not my decision. I know we've got Ben and Mick's joint party and we're definately going to go see Bruno and also get my tattoo but what else I'm not sure.

Talking about my tattoo. I have posted a picture of it somewhere on this blog.(I think if you click it it might come up bigger, not sure though) My date for it is; 7th of August at 5:30pm at Nobby's Tattoo Studio in Carmarthen. I'm super duper excited and really can't wait to be showing it of to people :) So check the picture out and let me know what you think of it :)

Anyways, thanks for dropping by and I hope to speak to you all soon

Love you all

Quickle Tickle Update :)

2009-06-17T04:42:00.000-07:00

I am really gonna try and make this quick :)

It's actually a favour...Right, most people who know me know that I'm trying to sort out an art portfolio. And obviously, I'm needing pictures to draw/paint/take inspiration from. Now, I can't find all these pictures myself because I'm not looking for one specific area. So, the favour I'm asking, is that if any of you guys are browsing through google or whatever and see a picture that I could draw etc etc, could you please please send me it? It would be really appareciated. As I said I'm not looking for specifics, just pictures that would show of some talent and creativity. So, yeah :)

Thats pretty much all I gotta say today, ummm, I might do another post later, depends.

Love you all!

Forgive me? I didn't write yesterday...even though I promised!

Anyways, sure you all forgive me...who couldn't forgive me? :D

So, yeah, ummm...I'm pretty sure theres plenty to tell you all, but currently my memory is being used up by something else...un-important I think...ummmm...

Oh! This is a BIG piece of news. Yes, I am now 18. And 18 means a few things, I can now vote, drink and get a tattoo. I've already done the first 2. Voted (conservatives), I went out on my birthday with my family and had a few. And now, it's just the tattoo. And I've decided what I'm gonna get and decided also to share it with all you wonderful people! Okai, so it's gonna be writing, with stars and 3 cherry blossoms with some of their petals falling of. I'm getting it on the inside of my left arm, and the phrase I'm almost 100% I'm getting is "Don't just have minutes in the day, have moments in time". I really like the phrase and I know for sure it will be a constant reminder that I only have a certain amount of time here, so I should really make the best of it. The stars, okai, I'll admit, don't have any deep true meaning, I just really like stars. And the cherry blossoms they represent change in a person's life, a new stage, and they are totally appropriate for me right now. I've left school, going of to uni, leaving my family. You know? And I'm getting a few petals drifting below them to represent the people that I've been extremely close to that have passed away. So it'll probably just be 3 but the beauty of that is, if I want to, when other people that I'm close to pass away, I can just get another petal. So probably a maximum of 7 petals in the end. So yeah, I looked up the font, stars and cherry blossoms that I want and I'm gonna try and drawing it out and see what I think. The idea is that it will take up the whole of the inside of my left arm and if I really need to hide it I can; long-sleeved tops/hoodies or shirts for interviews. But I do think the only place I'll want to hide it is at work. It's not gonna be a tattoo I'll ever regret or be ashamed of and thats really important when it's something so permenant. I'm really looking forward to it and really can't wait to see the result. When I've given the drawing a good bash I'll post a picture on here so you can all get the jist of it. And yeah, you can tell me what you think :)

Gonna go just now, give it a go now :)

Love you all
Katie

2009-06-02T15:37:00.000-07:00

FIRST HIGHER OUT OF THE WAY THIS YEAR! Religious Moral and Philisophical studies course with 5 parts to it; Genetic Engineering, Euthanasia, Morality in the Modern World, Belief and Science and ofcourse Christianity. Hardest exam I have ever sat, BUT I tried my best and at the end of the day thats all you can do. I actually have the question papers, so if anyone is interested atall, I'll post the questions, see how you all cope hm? I've got art on friday, which will be a walk in the park, I know my jargon for talking about art and I know my artists and like my artists work so it's easy to big them up and talk about them and their work so I'm reckoning a good A pass in the written exam and atleast a B with my actuall work, so overall an A. And the my last exam, Psychology, on monday. I reckon it's gonna be the hardest and most confusing, but I'll really go for it, exams are one thing I NEVER hold back on, so I will try my best. I'm thinking confidently about my R.M.P.S exam, thinking B atleast, definately an A in art, totally confident with that, and for psychology, this is gonna sound terrible, but, it just depends on what questions come up. As with my R.M.P.S course theres loads of different parts to the course; Conformity and Obedience, Intelligence, Investigating Behaviour, Early Socialisation and Memory. I'm pretty much really good with most of the basics about all of the different areas other than Investigating Behaviour, and I'm really darn good with the research done for 2 particular subjects; Early socialisation and conformity and obedience. One of them, for my Early Socialisation (title pretty much explains the area, children and their up-bringing, parenting styles and different attachments formed with different people) is a study by a psychologist called Curtiss, and the study is about a child names Genie (not actually her real name, but her name is kept secret for obvious reasons) in Genie's case, she had been locked in a room of her house when she was very young because her father thought she was retarded. She had very little contact with people during the time she spent and by time she was found (aged 13) she hadn't learnt to talk, was still wearing nappies and displaying her characteristic "bunny walk" (google her and the researcher's names and you'll get a ship-load of info about it). Her life was a perfect example of "Privation" when an attachment from another is never formed. Genie's case was so severe that there has actually been a film made about her life story "Mockingbird don't sing" I've never actually seen the movie but I will definately be trying to find it and watch it. The reason I mentioned this is because it's such a scary story because of the neglect Genie was given and it really puts things in perspective. (It certainly did for me)

Anyways, before I drag you all to doom and gloom with Genie's story, I'm gonna move onto something else, slightly more gross, actually, alot more gross, but what can you do? What happened isn't my fault. Right basically, I think everyone who reads my blog will know what a boil is, essentially the most disgusting and painful thing in the world when your an 18 year old girl who has never experienced childbirth (covering my tracks so none of the mothers get onto me about having to go through worse one day, ONE day, EVERY far away I might add) anyways, so, I've had this bump, in a rather embarassing place for about a year now, I'm not gonna be shy and pretend your all naive, but obviously Ben has seen it, it's on the outer part of my left...boobie...breast? I don't like the word breast, I'm gonna be informal and funny and say boobie. Anyways, so, it's been there for atleast a year, and when it first popped up I went to the local GP's for obvious reasons, it was an obvious lump on my boobie. Tell-tale sign of one thing and me being the way I am panicked. And when my GP told me it was nothing, a mere benine lump that may or may not go away with time, you can imagine the relief, for any woman, no matter how much you worry. So, I genuinely thought nothing would ever come of it, Ben still loved me, and nobody else that mattered THAT much would ever see my boobies so I was fairly happy with the result of that. But recently, it became really sore to press or touch and becamse very red, and I mean the scope of red was pretty big, at first I wasn't sure, so I ran it by my mum. Mum thought it was either a boil or a cyst and that if it were a boil "Magnesium Sulphate" would draw out the crap inside, so mum said that she'd get some on monday (It was saturday I really noticed the redness and soreness) and mum being mum, she forgot, so what I did (today) was stick a plaster on it, because even though there was no opening I did suspect infection because of the redness and soreness, so I thought just be on the safe side and stick a plaster on, it'll stop dirty stuff getting in. So I left it on for the day, and as I was getting changed for bed, I noticed a mark on the cotton part of the plaster, so I peeled it off. And the boil (this is where it gets disgusting and embarassing) had come to a head and popped and some of the crap had been drawn out, so me, being the utter fool I am, picked up some toilet roll that was standing by and started squeezing, yes, squeezing. And even thinking about it is making me feel sick all over again, but the amount of crap that came out of it, honest to God, the most painful experience of my life to date. At first, the crap coming out was kinda like pus from a spot, but as more and more came out, it got harder and more solid. Eventually blood started too. So I shouted Mum into the bathroom and explained what was going on, and continued squeezing, and the same amount that had came out in my bedroom came out in the bathroom. When Mum was satisified that I was done for the night (the blood was thinning and becoming less white, because of the crap) she went and got a piece of dressing and stuck it on with 2 plasters because there was no surgical tape in the house. Now, it feels like a bit relief, it obviously would, I mean, anyone with that amount of crap ANYWHERE in their body is gonna feel relieved when it's out and gone. It still nips to brush over with my arm or whatever but I'm confident that by morning it will feel a bit better atleast. I'll keep ya'll updated with it's progress I guess.

One more thing, recently a family friend has been going through a HECK load of shit and stress. And she asked me one really good question, and its only a really good question because I have a major love of music. She asked me out of all the songs I love and listen to regularly, is there one I truly feel like I relate to. She asked me this on friday night, took me a good weekend to think about the answer. Now, for alot of people it's gonna sound like a pathetic song, but I have finally found one and am no posing the question to anyone and everyone who reads this blog. What one song (and yes only one) do you feel like you can truly relate to? Not one that reminds you of good times or bad times, not one that makes you feel sorry for the person singing it, but a song that you really connect with and feel like the person singing it really knows what your thinking and how your feeling. Make sure you post a comment or your own blog to let me know by the way. My song of choice, is "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson, I know I know, she only won American Idol and it sounds so ridicilious but I really connect with this song. Here's the YouTube link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKCGBv65w_M It's pretty self-explanitory and you'll probably understand why I connect with it.

Yeah so, answer that question, PLEASE don't be sick because of the paragraph before and if you do look into the Genie case let me know what you think (it could help me in my exam).

Gonna go just now though, got psychology revision class tomorrow and it's 17 minutes into tomorrow. Well, wednesday, you know what I mean.

Love you all!

The Quickle Tickle Update :)

2009-05-29T19:10:00.001-07:00

That is such a good title ^ ^ I'm gonna use that for updates all the time :D

Anyways, before I get carried away with headings and the wonderful set of colours blogger has to offer I am going to tweak the updates :) (This feels oh so official)

Number 1: I, have just sent an email, to possibly, be one of the people, who is on tv, for the next series on, How to look good Naked, and ofcourse, this is Mr Gok Wan's work, every woman's best friend, they're obviously recording another series, and I basically emailed them the truth, that I'm a big girl, I don't know what looks good on me, my cup size varies between E and F cup and I still want to be able to have bright colours in my outfits, but still look and feel amazing. So, with any luck, I'll get a reply, and with a smidge more luck, I might be in with a chance. I'm not sure whether the email was meant to be formal or anything, but mine certainly wasn't. But it is a very personality type show, so I guess showing my bubbliness should be a good thing. One thing to take note of, if someone says they're "bubbly" they tend to be a bit chubby, I've never met a person that has been skinny all their life and be as bubbly as all the chubby people I know. And I like the word chubby, it's so much nicer than the F word. (You know what one I mean, and no it's not fxck) I don't really want to swear anymore on blogger, hence the "x".

Number 2: You all know this, but I have not yet posted my begining of my short story, okai, I'll be honest, I've been busy, studying my tootie off. Religious, Moral and Philisophical Studies, just don't. Don't even ask why, just don't...5 main subjects, a handful of 100 page booklets for each subject and a heckload of moral complications and contradictions just to put that final sarcy smile on your face. It truly is the most wonderfully interesting yet horribly complicating subjects I have ever studied. But I do promise you all, when my exams are over, which is the 8th of June for those who don't know, I will have my first chapter up. That is a promise, not on that day, but probably maybe a week or so later. Promise :)

Number 3: Also after my exams, the plans for 2009 summer will be in motion, I am a bit of a control freak and like to have general ideas about whats gonna happen and when, especially when it's time spent with Ben, I want to make the most of it while it lasts. So, We're here for 14 days exactly and, I've pretty much got here sorted out; 2 night camping trip at the white banks, few days in Inverness probably, few days in Tain, a trip to rollerbowl (just to prove I can bowl, which does NOT by any means that I am saying I'm good, just saying I can), maybe and possibly a trip to a place called "Landmark" and no it's not like the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning tower of Pisa, it's more like a mini-theme park (it's more fun when your 9 and bugs are tasty), and ofcourse, that all-important packing day, which, yeah, packing tends to take me a day. Bit obsessed really, it's bad, I pick out my underwear for Christ's sake...I know I know, it seems petty, but, theres nothing like a nice set/pair of undies to make a girl feel sexy. Or a corset...but corsets are just wonderful, with a bit fall out skirt made of silk...anyways, sidetracking into my princess dream-world again. Back to reality. Obviously I can't really make plans for when we're down in Wales, but I have to admit I can't wait to see Debbie, Mick, Harry again and ofcourse all the new arrivals which will be the foals. And while I'm speaking about the foals, I'd just like to say that one of Debbie's pnoies went into foal just a few nights ago and sadly the foal died. My heart goes out to Debbie and the Mummy (who I cannot for the life of me remember the name of right now, it might be Cameo) and hope that all the other arrivals are good news and most importantly some good company for Beau. But, back to summer, I know there is some kind of...thing...I'm not sure what to call it, on the 15th of August that I will probably be going to, now, when Ben told me this news, and that the theme was Medieval, my face, you could have seen it from space (I'm a poet and I didn't know it) I'm sure of it, an actual lightbulb popped up beside my head and flicked on, my thoughts were "What a great excuse, to buy a corset" so since then I've been galloping through site upon site looking for a nice, comfy, my size, suitable corset that I like. I have found 3 top candidates, one is by Ann Summers, it's just a basic black corset, ruched on the body, boned body, like all real corsets, but is a bit more expensive than I'd like it to be, the second, is on a site called "Goddiva", it comes in red, blue, green, black or purple, but it does not come in my current size...so that is obviously a problem, but by summer...hmmm...we shall see. And last but most definately not least, is a fabulous corset designed by Gok Wan, which means yea it is gorgeous, I can have it in sex kitten black, purple passion or serene white. It comes in sizes right up to 32, (which means it is well within my size range) is £5 cheaper than the Ann Summers one, which means yes it is more expensive than I would have liked, but i truly is a beautiful corset and it is kind of the one I want most. So we'll have to wait and see I guess. I also know there is Ben's 18th and Mick's 40th joint party, which I am obviously looking forward to, people, good few handfuls of drink, tents and ofcourse the all important ben factor. Now, my main thing about it is this...WHAT TO WEAR! Right, basically I have a killer pair of heels, which everyone knows about, which I really want to wear but not sure because I don't want to ruin them. And, I'd like to get a new outfit for it, just for the sake of being able to, but, of what? Anybody with ANY ideas, please please please come forward and give it to me. But yes, thats about it so far...

Because I have now spent about 45 minutes writing this entry and a trip to the loo and am going to bid farewell to anyone who has not given up and is not bored yet. You trooper!

Turns out it wasn't such a "Quickle Tickle" but I will be using that title.

As always, I shall probably speak to most of you at some point soon and hope everything is going spiffing for everybody :D

Love you all
Chow for now

Okai, so the first chapter isn't quite ready, but it's getting there. This is basically being posted out of pure boredom and fatigue...It's almost 2 in the morning and I haven't been able to get to sleep, seriously, I can't sleep. I've been trying since half 11. Just hasn't worked. So, I figured I'd watch a movie, Madagascar Escape to Africa, good movie, really funny, not as good as the first one but sequels never are. But it didn't help me sleep. So I've been sitting playing stupid Moshi Monsters for the past half hour...unbelievably boring. But what can one do when one cannot sleep? Nowt...

Not actually got anything to update on either...which is a shame, I like to put something of readable content in these waste-of-other-people's-time posts, doesn't look like it's gonna happen tonight. Sorry guys!
Oh well, gonna go find something to do until I feel sleepy.
Love you all

Bright Idea

2009-05-22T11:07:00.000-07:00

Hello everybody. I never seen to say that...anyways, before I sidetrack. I have had a "bright idea" -hence the title of this post- I have just had an idea for a short story, not a particularly exciting or eventful short story, but I'm going to post it chapter by chapter on here. I'm looking at about 6-9 chapters, depending on lots of different and complicationg things that I can't be bothered to talk about but we'll have to wait and see. I'm either going to name it "The road to happiness" or "The Big Day" That is the only clues you lot are getting! No matter how much anyone begs, that is it! I'm thinking of making it a 2 diary/ narration book with different chapters devoted to different characters. (Whish very well may mean more than 9 chapters) I'm not sure it will come out the way I have planned, but fingers crossed. Anyone who reads it can give me feedback through comments, constructive criticism is always welcome and let me know if theres anything I could improve on. I'll probably be looking at posting a new chapter once or twice a week, we'll see how it goes, but I hope (when I start posting it) you all enjoy it :)

Chow for now

Bit of an update :)

2009-05-18T15:18:00.001-07:00

Well, revision and studying are currently on the playing cards for both Ben and I. But just because thats the case does not mean we can't have fun. So tonight, on msn, i decided i wanted to play charades (great game for msn, really funny) so of we went....eventually it progressed into picture drawing...to guess at a movie, so my first movie, was pineapple express...now, i drew a pineapple...with little streak coming of it, best thing was, Ben got it straight away. Theres one, that I'm only goona put on here because it really made me giggle and I don't think anyone who reads my blog will be offended. So, ben picked watchmen, the new comic hero movie i guess you could say, now instead of drawing a watch on a wrist with a man standing beside it (which he ended up having to do) he drew a wall-clock, and a rather inaccurate picture of a man's genitail area. At this point I thought it was "clockcock" which made Ben giggle (which is so cute) I did eventually get there, but he just drew the wrong pictures. Good fun though, I really think it's great Ben and I can have really good fun and laughs over webcam...I don't think without our sense of humours and childishness our relationship would have worked out. But it has. Which makes me very happy.

As you all probably know, I quit my job at the Tain Co-op on the 3rd of April, and since then, I've pretty much been skint. But, very good news is that mum knows the woman who owns the local pub "Saint Duthus" or the saint to locals, and because I'm 18 now, and can work behind a bar and get the wage of minimum £5.60 an hour, I'm going in tomorrow night to speak to Kirsty and see if she'll take me on for a while. With any luck I think she might. Oh and talking about money, I have an old can/jar that was a limited edition "Absolut Vodka" container. And for about 3 years I've been filling it with change, you know, 1ps 2ps 5ps 10ps 20ps and 50ps. It hit it's full point just over the weekend (after I went round to the pub for a 50p mix with a £10 note hehe) so I asked mum to pick me up some money bags, and she did! She remembered! So, from about half past four to six I sat counting the dirty smelly coins. (I HATE the smell of coins, I've never realised how rotten they smell until today. And, in total, I had £108.92 sitting in that jar/can thing. I couldn't believe it! I was thinking about £50 when I started, at max...but I was so proved wrong. Which is great. And I had £66 left over from my birthday money, which made it up to £174.92! So, when I'm in school on wednesday for psychology revision classes I'm gonna head down to the bank straight after and put it into my account. I think I have about £70/80 in my bank, so thats a good £250 in the bank. And if I get this job, I will be minted for summer!

So yeah, that was the longest post I've done in a while, hope you all enjoyed :)
Will speak to you all soon I'm sure
Love you all
Katie

Okai, so

2009-05-17T15:32:00.001-07:00

ME AND BEN ARE 2 YEARS TODAY! Been together 2 whole years, that is so crazy...I can't believe how fast time has flown. I remember being so unsure about a long-distance relationship, no I think it's the best decision I've ever made! Ben is the best thing that has ever happened to me and theres not a moment I regret being with him. I figured it out, out of 104 weeks together, we've spent 13 of those weeks together, now, that to some people sounds ridiculous...but...those 13 weeksn have been the best 13 weeks of my life. It's a bit crazy, but I love him and I think today represents Ben and I's commitment to one another...neither of us have cheated, and I can say that with my hand on my heart because I know its true. And it will never happen. Not ever. I guess, we're just made for eachother, and I know thats so cheesey and cliché but, I really believe it's true. So...yeah :)

Another thing...I am leaing for uni in september, and I'm going to glasgow...now...i'm studying psychology, theology and religious studies...but...right now, I am composing an art portfolio...just incase...at the end of my first year...I change my mind...and go to....Aberystwyth University...they're looking for 240 UCAS tariff points and an art portfolio...so it's in the making. There should be some of my painting in the entry..somwhere...have a lookie and let me know what you think :)

Gonna go though guys, getting near my bed time...(about an hour ago) but I will speak to you all soon no doubt :)

Love you all

New Beginning :)

2009-05-13T10:18:00.000-07:00

So, new blog :) I like it already :D

This isn't gonna be a long blog, can't be bothered really.

But what I am gonna say is that, I am no longer a pupil of Tain Royal Academy! It was my last day yesterday and yes, I cried, a fair amount, but most of us did. Even some of the boys! I was absolutely fine until Patrick got up and started talking about our year...*sniff* But we all went to Dornoch beach after our lunch and got a bitty drunk and a few of us went paddling. We had a great day and I'm gonna miss everyone so so so so so much. Form Room Banter will never be forgotten guys! (Also there should be a pic of my year either at the top or bottom of this post, have a lookie)

Gonna go just now folks.

Should be able to write again soon.

Love you all
