Well, hello there :)

Hello hello hello! I'm back from the (internet) dead!
 This blog is ever so lonely so I shall have to breathe some life into it. Amazingly, I have actually gone since February without any internet access, all because my computer decided it was a good time to give up on life. Lazy little salaud. A very painful year, I must say! If I hadn't had Stephen Fry to obsess over, I may not have survived! My GCSEs have come and gone in this time and I have bid farewell to many hated and loved subjects alike.
     It's really odd to think how much changes in a year. Bizarrely, I've become much more confident than I was. I have no idea how but now the thing that strikes fear into my heart is no longer people. (Germs can still accomplish that but hey, I never said I stopped being neurotic!) Also, I almost look like an entirely different person - my hair got the snip and my glasses now take up 60% of my face. People seriously fail to recognise me!
    Ahh... and sixth year is the most fun ever. I have an absolute lack of free time but I like it! My subjects are legendary and my teachers are too :) Physics is supreme, Math is a joy, French is beautiful and Chemistry is always fun.
    Well, that's a short description of what has been going on (sort of).  I shall try to keep posting more than I did before, even if there's no one to read it!
                                                    Bisous, Kathryn.

Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year, whatever you've been celebrating for the last week or so.

Oh dear, I've been neglecting my blog as of late.

Goodbye to 2009, the noughties (or whatever. That sounds weird... the new decade'll have an even weirder name). Last year seems to have been awful. It'll be remembered for swine flu and global recession. Whee.

Forgetting and moving on to a year which I hope will be fun :)

Christmas was a lot of fun. Each of my presents reinforces the fact that I'm a nerd... I love it. I mean, I got Devo, Star Trek (a LOT of it, haha), Angel, pokémon.... And a guitar effects pedal. LOVE it, thank you Matthew!

My wonderful little cd of Indochine's is awesome and has helped me establish that I must be June and wear blue dresses XD Eh... long story.

Aaaand, as of now I've finally tabbed a song on computer. I'm so proud of myself ^^ I haven't before because although I know my tabs are right... I'm so scared of making a huge mistake and looking like a prat. But as I was just told, I am one anyway. Nice.

I just remembered that I hate William Shatner. Or as Justin Lee Collins discussed with George Takei - William Shitner. Over there ---> the pic sums up both Kirk and Shatner. Oh, and it makes me laugh XD

Chekov and Sulu are the two greatest Star Trek characters - ever. But with barely any screen time! It makes me sad.

Ah, I discovered the awesome episode of Angel, 'Smile Time', this Christmas. OMG. Angel as puppet? Best thing I've ever seen by a long shot!
Hehehe, his nose is removable ^_^

And with that, I believe I may have to leave. I have mocks to be revising for. *sigh*

Oiche Mhaith...

Yet again, I'm on the computer to do some work and yet again, I end up writing a blog.

Firstly, I'm sad because John and Edward are out of the x factor. And I shall never watch the show again. Who could be bothered to? It's boring without them. Bet their ratings drop by a few million this week. And then they'll bring them back to do something magical! Can't wait for it. Cause... we just know it's going to happen, like!

Secondly, I'm being reported to my form teacher for the second time in a week for yet another nonsense reason. First, I wasn't wearing my school blazer. Is that such a crime? Second, Clare breaks a chair. *shakes fist* I love her really, but she didn't help by taking pictures of it while in front of the CCTV cameras! Granted, I didn't help by apologising to the cameras ^^"

Bah.
But, I'm discovering how much I love shoegaze! Asobi Seksu and My Bloody Valentine are just too cool :) What's weird to me is.. there's not a whole lot of Irish rock bands... but of the few there is.. they're so good. Think about it! U2, Stiff Little Fingers, JJ72... maybe this is just my opinion? I know that no one remembers JJ72. They were so good. Shame things didn't work out.





Yes, Mark's voice is rather androgynous. I like it! Some people can't take the femininity though. Shame... I love the intro of formulae.Their songs 'Brother Sleep' and 'Always and Forever' are just plain awesome. Really beautiful lyrics :)

I've never met anyone who knew them other than my brother. I love him for the music he made me listen to as a kid.

Haha, oiche mhaith, by the way, is the irish for goodnight. Basically all I remember after three years of the language. God, I hated it. It has the most complicated way of saying hello out of any language I can think of! Ridiculous!

Ack, now it's too late to do my work. I'm just going to sleep and let my teacher worry about that tomorrow. *snores*

Just remembered some more Irish! Tá mo chuid gruaige finn rua agus retím go maith le daoine ; ) And not one part of it is true XD (my hair is sooo not ginger. Brown, brown I say! Donn, donn!)

Surprisingly enough...

Heh heh, I actually love John and Edward. Also, I hate people calling them 'Jedward'. It's the same thing as with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie being called Brangelina - can people really not take the effort to say their names? Weird.

I was actually wondering if they've become known outside of the UK (like Susan Boyle was?). Anybody able to shed some light on that for me?
I was surprised to hear some of my friends saying how much they hated them. Seriously, why? They're lovely guys, work sooo hard and are sooooo entertaining!! I will buy their CD if/when it is released. I hope they get through to next week, even my mom has been calling in for them this time! (and if she likes 'em... well, y'know. Y'know? She's a Westlife fan, like.)

For the last two weeks I've been obsessing insanely over Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was so awesome!! I forgot all about it until recently. As a little kid I loved it. I've come to the conclusion that Angel is about five thousand times the vampire Edward of Twilight will ever be. Not that I'm dissing Edward, I mean, I already have tickets for New Moon so I love him but, he's just too... good. He's a good vampire through and through whereas Angel was bad. The baddest of the bad guys. And his name when he was alive was Liam(!) When I realised that I swear, I laughed for about fifteen minutes.

I'm spreading the Buffy love, woot. I've already moulded one obsessive fan, muahaha! And have rekindled another's long forgotten love :)

And OMG when writing this I came across a 'twilight sucks' forum. Harsh much?

Halloweeeen :)

It's Friday the 13th. I hate Friday the 13th.

It's been two weeks since Halloween, I know! I haven't had the time to post anything =/

Had an awesome Halloween, as usual. Just stayed in avec my best friend and watched movies, as usual. I don't care what anyone says, you don't need anything else for halloween! of course, we got up to some silly shenanigans (witchcraft, anyone? XD and NO! Nothing serious.)

One of my favourite things about Halloween has to be the food. And no, not the candy. I love the candy though... Anywho! My mom always makes potato bread (eh, so Irish, but whatever.) and an apple tart, which is the bestest ever :) My best friend just uses me as an excuse to get over to my house every year for the pie *cries* She admitted it, seriously! It hurt me deep, it did.

As of Halloween my hair is now of the purple variety (: Last time I got my hair coloured (red, I believe it was) it was faded within two days - literally. Right now... it's faded. Wtf, like. Waste of money.

The trick or treaters this year scared me... what do you say to the kids?! You hand 'em the candy - accent on the candy. I used to get apples, oranges and peanuts. Not only is that not exciting... I could be allergic to the peanuts! What are these people thinking?! They could be handing a kid their death!! (slight exaggeration, maybe). Anyway, whaddaya say? I don't get it; my mom talks to them for about ten minutes. She's good with kids, it's weird. I haven't been around kids since I was one. (any cracks about how pint/kid sized I still am will most certainly not be accepted >:[ )

So when dear Megan got here we 'dressed up'. Any ideas on what we actually are? My dress is covered in unicorns, so that makes a.. unicorn? And she's supposedly a gothic doll. Anything else that would make sense?

The rest of the night included playing ding dong ditch (pathetically) and manys a movie, including Brokeback Mountain which made me cry. And I'm inhuman(!) Soooo sad. Why can't things work out for the cowboys?! *cries*

Haha, many 'action shots' were taken, but not particularly well. The lighting turned out really oddly on some of them actually, they look a little photoshopped. I thought the one below actually looked rather cool, albeit a little weird.

Enough, anyway. I have to return to Coffee Prince. Awesome drama. I'm on episode eleven... it just got rather interesting :)

Farming fun in farmville! Not.

Okay, if you have a facebook, I'm sure you'll know what farmville is. If you're strong, you will have resisted the constant requests to 'Join farmville and get your very own farm!'.
I crumbled. I have a farm. I resisted for sooo long! The curiosity got me :( I hate farmville. I hate it, I hate it! I mean, right now I'm thinking, "Is my cow ready for milking? What if my avocados are dying? What if?!" Damn that thing, it's turned me into an e-culchie! Addictive, I'll give it that.
I want to have a damn barn like the one in the picture, but I never will. I know it ;__; I'm a virtual screw up!

On another note, I'm going to Derry tomorrow. Not my city of choice, but whatever. At least I'm getting out of Ederney, even if I do happen to hate Derry. I mean, does anyone like it? Having to read Shadows on our Skin for english lit soured me to it even more. Good book like, but... so sad. Not that it's too different to Belfast, I just haven't read any particular books about Belfast during the troubles XD

Meh, whatever.

Halloweeeeeeeeen, peeps! (I said peeps... what of it? :P)
Can't wait! Although I've been forewarned of a rock/pumpkin/rotten potato attack *trembles* All because of that silly tomato incident last year! LOL I'm so happy Megan never put those videos on the internet. I just come off as a poindexter, as per usual.
I have such a huge list of movies to watch! Numerous disney movies, Spaceballs, Brokeback Mountain, Freaks (best horror movie ever), Rock 'n' Roll Highschool and god knows how many others. We may not get any sleep ^^"

Yesterday I got to watch Revenge of the Nerds, finally. It's awesome! And also, for anyone interested, it's the movie Ogre You Asshole got their name from :) I absolutely adore all of the Devo-ness in this movie! Are Devo really so geeky? Definitely recommend this movie though. It's awesome! I want to get a copy of it on DVD actually... Maybe I'll find a copy in Derry, if there's anywhere I can look. Last time I was there I found that there wasn't even a music/dvd store in the Foyle side. Where the hell else will I find one?! That is one of the many reasons I hate that damn city!

It also makes me wonder; are fraternities/sororities anything like they are in films? I'm actually kinda happy they don't have them in the UK. I would be treated like the nerds for sure. Although I did want to go to college in America... that ain't happening though. England, hopefully! I don't  want to have to go to a university in Ireland. Seriously.

 Anywho, I'm off to check on my crops.

Oh, that's just sounds so rock 'n' roll.

>_<

I hate to admit that I've watched the x factor but I gotta say, I freaking love John & Edward.

They can't sing but they dance most fabulously :) Why are all gag music acts Irish, btw? Dustin the Turkey was AWESOME but wasn't received too well by the eurovision judges *cough*cough* Some people really can't take a joke! Eurovision kinda sucks, you gotta admit it.

The only reason I would ever watch this show, seriously. Every year they seem to be trying to find another act just exactly like the previous year's winner. It's boring (and the music's... to me, anyway, kinda meh.) A piss take every now and then is welcome!



*wipes tear of laughter from cheek* Love it.
