Wednesday 29th December 2010

Went to get a new lens, the one I wanted was out of stock so I didn't get a lens. I did fall in love with a kitten and get wolf whistled at by a parrot though.

Uhm hmm. I was looking forward to tomorrow but now I'm not. Why is it I always end up on my own?

On the fifth day of Christmas...
ahh I can't think of anything...ermmm...
ok...I like the colour of my eyes
I am creative
I am caring
I try to give people advice and help them if they need it
I give good cuddles

Where I Went: Malta, London....

What I did: Got lost in London, saw Robots in Disguise live, saw Bon Jovi live, got a Blackberry, went to Malta, jumped out of a boat, walked to Newick, left my school, started college, joined a band, did my GCSEs, went to prom, broke up & got back together with Alex, had a huge drama over general life, played in the snow, went to the Tate Modern, performed on stage thrice for drama (The Crucible & two improvisations), sung on stage (yay :)), started driving, drank some tea...., had a generally fucking ace year :)

My aims for 2011:
1. learn to love myself and accept myself for who I am
2. make a solid group of lovely friends
3. keep up my relationship with Alex, keep it strong and beautiful
4. kickstart a career in music, begin to write more, make my presence known (especially online) etc

Aye. Wish me luck :)

Finee.

On the third day of Christmas...

I try hard to make myself a better person
I'm honest
I work hard

27/12/2010 - day 54

Monday 27th December 2010

Yeah well done Kati, just fuck up everything why don't you?

There's no way I can do my thing today, I'll do it tomorrow in addition to tomorrows to make up for it. Today has just been too shit to contemplate anything good.

:'(

26/12/2010 - day 53

Sunday 26th December 2010

Boxing Day. This picture looks so cool, it was just taken in my living room but shows that if you stand in the correct position in relation to the sun you can get a good picture however shite your camera is :)
The little people came over today which was nice for the first 30 mins. However one awesome thing...I am going to be looking after and riding Kims horse once a week in the New Year as well as riding other horses at the yard sometimes :) Yayy.

On the second day of Christmas...
I can sing
I am a tidy person

25/12/2010 - day 52

Saturday 25th December 2010

Merry Christmas!

Nice presents but none as good as those from Alex :)
Got.... a microphone (without a lead..XD), warm pretty socks, a red cozy dressing gown, Bill Bailey DVD, School of Rock DVD, iTunes voucher, Green & Blacks chocolate and probably a couple more things that I forgot :o

Anyway, I said that for the 12 Days of Christmas I would write things I like about me or can do etc.

The first day of Christmas...
I like my hair :)

24/12/2010 - day 51

Friday 24th December 2010

Happy Christmas Eve! From a slightly ill Kati.
I am really happy right now. I am listening to Katy Perry (I swear I hate all of her songs when I first hear them but then start to love them. Kind of addicted to Firework right now but hated it when it first came out) and I am writing and reading an online book thing about manifesting. I have decided to make life better and lets face it, all it actually takes is the decision to do so. I am going to learn to like myself, I am going to be who I am and not who anyone else wants me to be (no matter who they are), I am going to learn to talk to people without fear, and everything else you could imagine. I am determined this time.
2011 is the year for positivity, health, love, happiness, fun, originality and authenticity.

I am more excited about that than Christmas. 2010 has been really good in many ways, really shit in others, but despite everything I would say it's been the best year of my life. I may feel alone but I do have other things. I have determination. I have a fresh outlook. I have many recorded episodes of Sex & the City.

Best of all, I am so fucking in love.

Merry Christmas :)

23/12/2010 - day 50

Thursday 23rd December 2010

Can't decide whether to keep my fringe or get rid of it? Hmm...
Anywho, today was very lazy..I didn't get dressed until 2pm, then went into town to see Alex for a couple of hours which was nice. Not seeing him for a week now..damned Christmas.

As my new years resolution is to learn to accept myself and like myself again, from Christmas day I will be doing a '12 Days of Christmas' thing, in which I say something I like about myself or something I am good at (1 thing on the first day, 2 on the second etc etc). Clever, huh.

22/12/2010 - day 49

Wednesday 22nd December 2010

Yes I am clotheless in this picture :O I had a bath and realised I hadn't take a photo so I did one quickly! Ohnoes.
Did you know ice is slippery? Corrr.
Today was pretty good really. I like watching my boyfriend play guitar, it is the best thing ever. And I like brownies. Nom!

21/12/2010 - day 48

Tuesday 21st December 2010

Today was Christmas day! For Alex and I at least :) He stayed over last night which was, of course, awesomeness all snuggled up. He really is officially the most amazing human being in this world and I love him so much. For real.
For Christmas I bought him an acoustic guitar and decorated it, a Levis t-shirt, a mini Christmas pudding, Mr Bump plasters, 500 Days of Summer DVD and a couple of other things..nothing compared to what he got me though! Seriously I didn't know anyone could be that adorable :)

20/12/2010 - day 47

Monday 20th December 2010

Noooooooo the lens on my camera has broken D:! This makes me so sad, gonna have to save up for a new one now. Also had my last day at work yesterday (damn temp jobs) so I'm gonna have to go round handing out CVs now, especially since I need a bloody lens now.
Anyhow, apart from that I had a really good day with Alex as it was our Christmas eve :) Presents were all under the tree, how exciting! :)

19/12/2010 - day 46

Sunday 19th December 2010

Errr...I don't actually know what I did today...I had a bath. And I curled my hair...But I don't know about anything else. Ooops

18/12/2010 - day 45

Saturday 18th December 2010

I have peas. Yeaaaa.

17/12/2010 - day 44

Friday 17th December 2010

Today was somehow a very good day which makes no sense really but it was. This picture wasn't really taken on that day but I did not just say that...
Had a really nice day with Alex in Brighton but we did manage to get stranded there because of the snow. There was hardly any snow (like..a centimeter) but it fucked up the buses good and proper! Waited for like an hour in Brighton for a bus, one to Lewes came so we just got on that one which took god knows how long to get into Lewes, waited over half an hour there and then it took us about 2 hours to get from Lewes to Uckfield. Really?! Madness I tell you. Madness. Stupid buses. And it was -7!

16/12/2010 - day 43

Thursday 16th December 2010

Today was weird...
Decided not to go into tutor because we were just doing a Christmas quiz (which seemed pretty pointless to me since I would have had to wait an hour and a half for my next lesson after) so thought I would go in for my performing arts lesson which started at 12.30. I got the bus at...12.45.... and got into the lesson at about 1.15, score. Turns out we were just playing games anyway (okay, now I'm in college we play games before Christmas but when I was in secondary school we didn't?!), English was basically the same and I left early from art to catch the bus which didn't turn up causing me to have to walk a very long way to catch it. Stupid bus.

15/12/2010 - day 42

Wednesday 15th December 2010

Today I went Christmas shopping. It was fun for a bit but then it was hell. I spent £167. And bought nothing for myself :O
I'm holding a flower garland I bought for one of my nieces. Bought all of my gifts now though and have begun to wrap them :)
Really hurt myself though, carrying a bunch of huge, heavy bags around Brighton brings pain and people don't bother helping you out by not walking into you or around you. I actually wanted to hit someone at one point :s
Still...fairly successful...:)

14/12/2010 - day 41

Was out of the house from 8am - 10pm today, how fun for me.
Got the bus at 8.15, got to college at 9, had an art lesson which used charcoal and chalk...I do so hate getting my hands all dirty :( Then had performing arts and we did a bit of a run through of our play. Went on a road trip to the garden centre in my break (as you do) and then had a tech rehearsal (which was one of the worst experiences of my whole life).
English was boring blah blah blah....then I had my play in the evening which I wasn't looking forward to but it was actually soooo fun! I really enjoy being up in front of an audience :D Went home and went straight to bed..soooo tired...

02/12/2010 - day 29

Thursday 2nd December 2010

I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need, I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree, I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know, make my wish come true...all I want for Christmas is you!

Today was sooo good, alarm went off at 7, got out of bed and checked the college website to find college was CLOSEDDDD, looked out my bedroom window to see about 14 inches of snow outside, went back to bed until 10. Woke up to two texts from Alex telling me to wake up pronto so we could meet up so I got dressed and nommed on porridge and then went out to meet Alex in the snows. Went to Victoria park and had a fairly violent snow fight, I am so bad at making snow balls so my tactic is just pick up arm fulls of snow and tip it on his head :)
We also both jumped over a rope fence thing into the snow which was jolly good fun, there are human shaped marks everywhere XD Generally was just a fun time in the snow, then came home, failed to make a snowman and curled up to get all warm. Now it's just me on my lonesome and I am playing guitar :) Good day!

01/12/2010 - day 28

Wednesday 1st December 2010

Awful picture of me but I had wet hair and wasn't very happy.
They put the tree up in Lewes today. And I got stranded in Lewes because of the snow. Stupid snow.

Tuesday 30th November 2010

SNOWWWWWW :D
Finished college at 12 and Alex went home too so we met up and had a snow fight, sooo fun :) We threw some snowballs, got taken out multiple times in the snow and then went to a coffee shop I've never been to and had a hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream and a shortbread. It was very nice :)
I really do adore Alex but I miss him far too much, I wanted to go home, curl up with him and watch Elf :P

29/11/2010 - day 26

Monday 29th November 2010

College today, nice late start though which was so good :) I love late starts a lot, I get a lie in.

23/11/2010 - day 20

Tuesday 23rd November 2010

Today Kati went to LONDON.
I had been ill but I felt much better so I went in but I still wasn't quite feeling myself, but I didn't want to miss the trip. It was a pretty good day...we got the coach up there which was a laugh with Demi and Zoe, went shopping in Covent Gardens (yes, on a school trip :D) then went and wondered around the Tate Modern (artists are sooo pretentious!) and went on a backstage tour of the National Theatre which was pretty interesting but I wasn't feeling very well by this point. Then we went and had a very very tasty pizza followed by watching Fela at the NT...which was shit if I'm honest :P On the coach home I pretty much died then got home and fell asleep in my day clothes which I never do...shows how ill I was! Tsssk.
