ohmyjesus. just seen the new ad for NCC. SO FUNNY. i was laughing for like 10 minutes. 'watch me RAWR' hahhaa. :) if you haven't seen it go watch it on youtube. it's so freakin' hilarious!anyways. last night was the riverfront gig.
i'll be honest with you - it was crap. haha. because although the bands were AMAZING, no one was dancing. :( kat didn't like that.. hahaha. :) but i'm too scared to initiate dancing. baha. :)

i have pictures. :)

i like the background in this picture. :)

i love you girls.

i would have taken more pictures, but it wasn't THAT good, and i didn't hae a camera. these were only taken on my phone. even then, the quality isn't exceptional.

so today, i awoke to the sounds of lauren yet again leaving early for work. it's starting to piss us both of now, the amount of work she's doing. it means we can't make too many plans without them going unfulfilled. :( but it's fine because i love her. after loz left ru's (where we had stayed the night before after gig), i had a shower before me and ru went to sainsbubs to get brekki. :) i then found out that i am poor. and i only have 2 pound in my bank account. so my hero rumer lent me a tenner for the day, and i now love her more than life. :)

after sainsburys, we made our way into town and went shopping. ru, having been given 300 pound by relatives for her recent birthday, bought several undergarments from la senza and then bought TWO topshop handbags, which btw, were BEAUTIFUL. :D but that girl! SPEND SPEND SPEND. she's worse than me. (sorta) ;)

it came to around 2.15, and i decided to gander down to the cinema as it was time to meet the lovely bry, blates for our date ;). we were supposed to watch 'the ugly truth' but it wasn't on until 6 because our cinema likes to fuck up our lives by changing the times, so we had to watch harry potter instead (which yes, i have ALREADY SEEN). but it was good. better the second time actually. and i had an amazing afternoon filled with lots of laughs and people falling down stairs. FAIL. :D i enjoyed every minute though. :) thanks bry. :D

that's all for now. updateee done. :) i had more pictures, but i'm too lazy to upload.

FRANCE NEXT SUNDAY. so excited. ;P

kat.

wanted rain on me? well i'm soaked, soaked to the skin. it's the end where i begin..

title: the end where i begin - the script.

i love the lyrics to this song. i know it's old but i didn't realise how much until like the other day. :)

so hallo dear friends. :)
i'ma start with a really funny story/discovery that me and lauren found a couple days ago. :)
okay, so we were coming back from the beach on.. friday was it? and we decided to take a detour. we ended up.. in like, a part of roundswell.. but like one we'd NEVER seen before. it's like a whole other village! it was so freaky! but absolutely HI-LAR-I-OUS!
anyways, it was so funny, it took us AGES to find out where we were. but we got home safely in zee end. :) we decided to call our village rickington. (roundswell + bickington) :

there's not much else to say. although i'm beginning to think i don't like people. hahahahahhaa. long story. :)

i'ma bounce.

twenty-five facts.

i saw this on hly's blog (http://www.justgowithaclassic.blogspot.com/), who saw it on izzy's blog (http://www.musingsandrambling.blogspot.com/), who got tagged in it by me on facebook. but i got it from my cousin on facebook ages ago. so i thought i'd do it again, because you can never have too many kat facts. :)
so ladies + gents, hold on for kat's twenty five facts.

one. i have sat here for nine minutes trying to think of a witty fact number one - it's not going to happen.
two. i have a moth phobia. i hate them and i will not sleep if there is one in my room, until mummy removes it with a tissue. they scare me because one flew in my ear three years ago and i always think it will happen again.
three. i act different around different people. i thought this wasn't true for me. but it is. there are only a selected few people that i'm truely myself around. you'd be suprised.
four. i often find comfort in complete strangers. sometimes this is more often than i find comfort in those closest to me. i find they have an unbiased perspective. i never ask their name.
five. i like to observe. anything and everything. if i'm staring at you, i wouldn't worry, i probably just like your eyeliner or something. :) either that or you have a huge wart. but i wouldn't worry too much. :D
six. my favourite things to do are writing and playing the piano. followed shortly by taking photos and cooking. i also like to run around my garden, play with my rabbit, and bounce on trampolines - a lot. because they make me happy. i don't care if it's childish to you. i will always be a child on the inside.
seven. i am often a horrible person. but not intentionally. i can often say things i don't mean, and it's always just because i don't like thinking them. so i say it outloud. but i'm a lovely person really. :)
eight. i really want a camera. i'm so glad i'm getting one for my birthday.
nine. i keep a notebook. i never let anybody read it. the only person who has read the whole thing is holly paddon.
ten. i don't appreciate my mum enough. thankyou. - for everything. i know i don't need to explain with you.
eleven. i don't understand my own father. and i have now realised he's not who i thought he was. no matter how nice i am to him, i will never love him again. for reasons beyond my control.
twelve. it may seem to people, that i know what i want to do in life. but i am one of the most confused. i know i won't make it as a writer. i like to hold on to it as a career choice because if i tell myself i have one then it means i don't have to think as much about what i really want to do. purely because i haven't a clue.
thirteen. thirteen has never been an unlucky number to me. not ever. i don't believe in superstition, i only believe in karma.
fourteen. i've never realise how much i actually love my laptop. hello mr laptop. i love you. :D
fifteen. i sleep with my nightstand lamp on, because i'm afraid of the dark unless somebody else is with me. it's how it's always been. always.
sixteen. i have lately started to listen to song lyrics very intently. i've realised rappers have extreme talent, they're not only amazing artists, but they are amazing writers too. eminem; you've captured my soul. :)
seventeen. i only have one best friend. i tell people they're my best friends, when they aren't. they're only very very close friends. i think i'm very horrible in that sense. i only realised that the other day. when i lost one.
eighteen. it's a given that i will be questioned about the content of this here blog. so feel free. i said the blog would all be fact, but doesn't mean my explanations will be true. :) haha.
nineteen. i have a stupid love for chicken. the meat and the pet.
twenty. for the first time in months, i feel like i have a real family again. :)
twenty-one. i love music. i don't think i'd be able to live without it. nor without my ipod. i wish i was a sensational singer. that would be amazing. :)
twenty-two. even though i've done this blog. i think i'll probably do an update tonight too.
twenty-three. this year has been the best year of my life.
twenty-four. it's obvious. but it has to be said. i love my friends and family VERY much. :)
twenty-five. i miss how it used to be.

kat.

well you done done me and you bet i felt it, i tried to be chill, but you're so hot that i melted..

title: i'm yours - jason mraz.

an old song? i know. :) just today i realised that reminiscing is fun. :) it's an amazing song, and my today has been all happy and fuzzy inside, so i thought i'd use an appropriate song. :)
so this is my 80th post. YAY. :)

so today i haven't done muchies really. did yet ANOTHER facemask. i decided it's been doing me WONDERS. haha. :) jokies, but my skin looks tons better for it.
mummy said that i can have an extra hundred pound for holiday, so that means i can spend my allowance on clothes FOR france now. :) which tbh, means i am VERY excited about tuesday now. :)

i forgot to mention, i watched the proposal on thursday. it was VERY VERY good! :) sehr cute :) especially the end. the grandmother, LOL. :) kat recommends.

thursday night, i also watched ''how the other half live''; this programme about rich people giving poor people money? i didn't think it would be THAT good, but i had nothing much to watch, so i thought i'd watch that. it was actually a hella lot better than i thought it'd be. and was infact very thought - provoking. :) it's strange how we all ship money out to africa or whatever, when there's people suffering poverty right on your doorstep. :(
speaking of unfortunate incidents, my mum went to a funeral yesterday. it wasn't a VERY close friend, but it was very sudden how she died, and it makes you wonder. i went to get the bus into town yesterday, and the medical centre was closed (because of the funeral, as a mark of respect) and there was a women waiting for the bus at the same time as me. we ended up in a long conversation about how unforntunate it is that people get taken away everyday without you realising. i guess the big guy upstairs sometimes needs a few more angels eh? :)
RIP Mrs Bowman. :) although i didn't know you, i know you were a good friend to many people.
+ thankyou, random old lady that lives in my village, you changed my life, more than you realise. :)

on a lighter note, the weather is AMAZING today! again! south west aren't doing too badly for sunshine lately. i'm glad, i think the weather makes me a lot happier when it's sunny. :) I lied on the trampoline for atleast ten minutes at around 9am this morning after loz left mine for a dance workshop thingy. :) it was awesome.
oh + yesterday, beach was GOOD. but we only stayed for an hour, and didn't take any pictures, which is why there isn't a seperate blog about that. :)
is that all? i think so. :)

hope you guys have an amazing weekend, my day is WONDERFUL so far. cherish every moment, you never know what might happen. :)

kat.

but they weren't there beneath your stare, and they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of and bindings from the world outside that room..

title: they weren't there - missy higgins.

yesterday i was greeted by the beauty of saunton beach. as we are usually at the sewer pile they named instow beach, i was delighted to finally remember why we live in devon in the first place. it was so beautiful infact that i felt the need to take a picture. :)

i like how the sky reflects off of the sand. it was so beautiful. :)

so to today..

i started out at hly's house. and from there i walked uppers to le bus stop. when i reached the bus stop i became aware that it was a very nice day, and a very late bus. so i decided that it would be a good time to take some pictures. this one was my favourite.

btw, none of the clothes are mine. they're all my hippy of a friend hly's. haha. ;) so i hopped on the bus. and ended up in a place we like to call town, to endure the rest of my wednesday journey..

when i reached town, i met rosie northridge and maddy jury followed shortly by the lovely alex stapleton. we went to costa, and i bought a sick looking smoothie that tasted like yum. :) strawberry shortcake for le win. :)and then we went to castle green coz alex insisted she needed a library book. haha, fail. :) but as we were there, i took an attractive and beautiful photograph of my leg. hahaha.

i think it's pretty cool? or is that just me? :S dunno.

that was pretty much all i did. i spent the whole bus journey home like this..

i took this picture because i had this inkling that i must stand out from everyone else on the bus hella lots. so i took it to check. i decided i did. and that this picture was awesome in it's own little way. right?

this book is amazing. ''the shadow of the wind'' by carlos ruiz zafon. whom i think may be coming my favourite author. just by 5 chapters of one book. he's amazing. a recommendation by my lovely mummy. :)

okay so that's finally my 'blog' over. but i'm not quite finished on the writing side of things.

so i was sitting on the bus today, home to chulmleigh. and i realised that i wasn't sitting in my usual seat. you see, usually i sit right at the back, with my ipod. but today i sat a couple seats forward. i guess i must have thought that people would grab my seats after me. but they didn't. the seats remained empty for the rest of the journey. it was strange. :)

anyways. another thing i became aware of lately. is that a recurring word in my head is 'change'. i used to blabber for england about how much things were changing last year. but now? it's beyond words. i guess, while caught up in the studies, friendships and family 'bonding' i forgot how much me myself has changed as a person. i find it funny that everybody i know has just come together for the final year of school. no one minds who you were, who you followed, they only care about who you became. and for me it's just amazing to watch everyone i've known for years finally come together in one big pile of happy. :) can't wait to go through the last year of school with every one of you. :)

okay, i'm done. people will be getting tired of waiting for me to upload, like pinnocio for example. :)

lots of hugs.

kat.

cookie dough.

i'm eating the title. :P jealous much?

i was sitting here thinking of a title, and then i realised that it was suitable.

you see, i guess if you think about it, life's a lot like cookie dough ice cream. it can get cold at times, can spill over or even get a bit sticky, but in the end, it's worth all of that, and it can make you happy and it's full of suprises. it's always the bottom of the pot that holds all the dough, and you always have to dig for the best bits, but in the end, it's everything you expected and more. :)

i love cookie dough. + i love life ;)

so sorry that i didn't post about a postsecret yesterday, i was already uploading pictures and thought that it may not fit in with the post. :) i didn't really like them this week if i'm honest, but that could be because last weeks were so amazing. :) so here was my favourite.

the first time i read this, it wasn't really one that stood out to me.. but then, none of them did really. look over it for the second time, i realised that there is actually a meaning to me behind this secret. i guess it makes you realise, that the memories you have are always cherished, you remember everything, and even the most embarassing or funny things just stay in your mind forever. i like how our memories mean that we can always remember 'that time' and this person obviously feels the same. it made me smile, because i know i have alot of memories like this one. :)

soo.. today consists of me watching 'knocked up' and eating ice cream. although, i think i'm becoming extremely ill lately. my throat is awful and i have continuous stomach aches. :( oh well. :)

not much else is happening, just chatting to bry (see i did include you ;P) and was supposed to meet loz, but not anymore. :) going to the beach tomorrow with everyone too. then again on friday with loz bry + shaz. :) should be fun. in the meantime, keep smiling, and keep your cookie dough tub full with fun, not empty :)

lots of love,

kat.

this is the part when we say we're in love, and the part when we say it's forever..

title: when we say (juicebox) - aj rafael.
yay. i'm sorry i haven't blogged in roughly.. four days? haha. it's not my fault, i blame my apparently slightly busier life than normal. but it's okay because i'll make it up to you guys with a big fat bloggie.
okay, so where shall I start? gig? :) okay, so friday 31st july was the date of the inn on the square's generator gig. + lets be honest, it was AMAZING. :D the bands were; pickpockets + skyrockets, elephants, little comets + sam dowden. :) they were actually amazing. I think I preferred elephants to the rest though, because we, um.. got on stage?! :D they were ace. but then pickpockets are the cutest band ever! and the band members? ;) haha. :D
picture time.

on stage with the elephants, not entirely sure where i am in this picture. at the back somewhere. ;P

hly face. i love you :D

so there's more gig pictures, but i'm a lazy ass that can't be bothered to upload, so um, ON TO CHULMLEIGH FAIR. last night was amazing, i had an amazing time with the girls. :) and it wasn't a huge fuck up! yaaay! :D

i love ALL of these pictures the best. :)

kat + george. that kid can dance ;) bex, i love you. although we both look, bad, here. HA. :)


never knew a village could be so.. hardcore? hahaha. :D

cool kids. :)

wow, we look.. nice? hahaha :D

that was a gooood night. was nice to actually be out in chulmleigh, i never go out round here, only into barnstaple to see the girls + up exeter + beaches. was nice to stay at home and do something for once :)

thankyou girls for making it an amazing night. oh + the guys we met ;) :D

right, i'm exhausted from blogging, haha. the pictures are getting more annoying to upload i swear. but finished! :D
