Sunday Music Fest

Okay, so at some point I promise I will create a separate blog to post this stuff on so that if you're trying to look at my 365s it isn't all broken up! Tomorrow/later today (errr it's technically Sunday but I'm still awake so I dunno..) all I have to do is English homework, the rest of the day I plan on reading and watching TV so I'll attempt to be less lazy and do it then. But for now...have a music fest ;)

Ladyhawke - My Delirium

Enjoy!

71/365

Quite a good day today, which surprised me. I woke up at about 9 this morning but wasn't in the mood for actually getting up so I curled up and read for a couple of hours before having a really warm bath. I intended to stay at home and do some coursework..not that exciting but unfortunately necessary. However my parents decided to drag me off to the Admiral Retail Park in Eastbourne which wasn't nearly as crappy as I thought it might be.

So we went in Pets At Home (I still don't know why we went in there we didn't buy anything. Le parents just wondered around looking blank and I sat cross legged on the floor watching a rabbit which was rather amazing - it looked like an Egyptian princess..but a rabbit). So I was looking around and went to the little bit where all the small animals are and there was a guy with a bucket of rats (literally) which he was putting in the cages. There were 4 or 5 of them and they were all excitable. I then noticed that the guy had BLUE HAIR and was rather gorgeous looking ;). He spent the whole time around the small animal section and was one of the reasons I sat watching the pretty rabbit.
I was dragged into homebase and I suggested we buy a Christmas tree and then stick it in the loft because we don't have one right now. For the first time...ever they let ME choose the tree. So I chose a six foot black one with glittery silver tips. GOTH TREE AHOY :D. I get to decorate it as well. Fabulous, darling.
Then dad offered that he'd go look at camera in Dixons with me and said that for Christmas he'd get me my boots I was gonna buy (them skull ones Cat, remember? save the boots for best! tee ;) ) for Christmas rather than me spending my 100 quid on them (they're £60), then he'd give me the rest of the money to buy a camera. Sherwow!

Came home, did art homework and then played Sims Castaway xD. Rightyo, now I'm gonna go watch the X Factor and eat Chilli. Toodles!

P.S: I'm really into Joan Jett right now. She's awesome!

I Wore A Hat Today - 70/365

Feeling all unloved by some.

I went to bed when I got home today I was so tired. I read 2 chapters of Twilight then just fell asleep for an hour.

I'm Salvador Dali! - 68/365

I kept bursting out into peals of spontaneous giggling - proper, childish giggling - today. It was fun.
Walking home I saw my smoosh and started giggling and ended up crouching behind a wall until he went. I'm a mature one, en't I?

Was majorly pissed off with someone in psychology. So much so I couldn't concentrate and we had a test, so I ended up sitting there daydreaming pretty much all lesson then panicking that I hadn't finished. Basically tomorrow someones arse is gonna get a kicking. And a cheeky smile and a wink. If I do have a go at said person I'll tell ya'll about it tomorrow.

Car Crash - 67/365

It was meant to say 'drunken car crash'. Intstead it says '5 year old let loose with mothers make up'. Why do I bother ._.?

Taken: Tuesday 25th November 2008. Day 67. Happy birthday Dad.

Edit: Okay, so I'm tempted to grow out my hair so it's blonde again and then in the summer holidays (yes I'm already making plans!) dye it lilac (or whatever colour I'm into then). Buy these boots, some flower pattern tights and a plain black dress, get some massive black false lashes, paint my eyelids with leopard print and strut around somewhere wearing that as often as possible. Sound good?

Day 66

SUCH BAD EDITING D:

I really want pale purple hair.

They Looked On As She Drowned - 65/365

A Reminder.

Stop trying to impress and please others. Don't feel obligated to like what others think you should like or to fit into a set definition of who you should be. Don't be afraid to shake things up from time to time. Learn to love, accept and forgive yourself despite things which have happened in the past and may still haunt you, or despite not being 'perfect'. Be honest with others, don't dumb yourself down, don't gossip or make fun of others. Stop feeling guilty about silly things. Follow your heart, shoot for the moon (if you miss you'll still end up in the stars), stop worrying about what people may think of you, move on if someone doesn't understand you and don't change yourself to fit in. Have pride in yourself. Talk to people about your dreams and wishes however strange it may feel. Sing and dance in public. Don't let others talk you into something you don't want to do. High five random people in the street. Be true to yourself.

Negative Self Image/Envying Others

Unfortunately I don't know the source of this image, it's saved in my Inspiring Images folder.

Note: If you're of the male gender and reading this then it still applies, just edit it in your head to work for you.

How many times have you caught yourself looking at someone and thinking "they're pretty..if I looked more like them maybe so-and-so would like me more" or "I don't like how I look but I like how they look. maybe if I dress like them I'll like myself more"? Or if not either of those then something along those lines, aye? I would presume that it is quite a few times, and if you've ever been a sufferer of low self esteem then it will most likely have been many more than 'a few'.

But why do we think this? Because we're not satisfied with ourselves and so we're jealous of their lifestyle/looks/success. Jealousy can be useful as it teaches us what we would like to be more like but when it gets to a point where you find yourself hating yourself even just a little bit you know it's taken it too far.

You might look up to someone. Someone in a band, a comedian, a friend or even just someone who you sometimes see on the bus. "Oo their hair is amazing! They have brilliant style. They're so popular! Look at their shoes. They have a really nice voice. They seem so relaxed with themselves! I wish I was one of them.." and the next thing you know you're trying to be exactly like them. You have a hair style which doesn't suit you because they have that hairstyle for example. With most people this is someone who is mainstream but some people strive to be unusual. People tend to think these people are themselves but often they aren't because they're trying so hard to not be like everyone else that they're not themselves either.

"I can't explain myself because I'm not myself, you see?"

Okay so this is getting into rambling mode..let me explain what I'm really trying to say.



So few people are happy with themselves and what they're wearing and it's normally because of others, not themselves. Whether it's because they're trying to fit in or trying not to fit in they're not happy. By trying to fit in they're giving in to the trends just like everyone else and by trying not to fit in they're making themselves look ridiculous. What was going through your mind when you bought a neon yellow hat? Yes it's a pretty good idea but to be honest does neon yellow really compliment many peoples skin? No, not really.

However, it is very hard to be 'yourself' in todays environment because of the media pelting thoughts at you from every direction.

WEAR THIS IT WILL MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU! but it's ugly..

EAT THIS IT WILL MAKE YOU THIN! but it tastes awful..

BUY THIS IT IS THE BEST...EVER! but I prefer that one..

At the speed life goes at it is hard to listen to your little inner voice. Whilst you're walking around H&M you might find yourself thinking 'what would so-and-so buy?' not 'what do I like?'. When you're listening to music you might stop listening to what you're enjoying because that person on the bus likes something else and you know that the person on the bus would think you're really awesome if you had the stuff they liked on your iPod. Heck, you might even do it with people you know you have no chance of being friends with!
'I like these shoes but I'm gonna buy these shoes because I think I will only have any chance whatsoever of being friends with Rihanna if I buy these!'
'I don't like this kitsch jewellery on me but it looks fabulous on Audrey Kitching and she's really cool..maybe I should wear it just in case she happens to be walking around Swansea later'.

It seems simple in theory, to stop it. But it isn't, oh no. You admire someone SO MUCH that what they like just rubs off on you, or their thoughts just rub off on you. Maybe they have a way with words that you wish you had because everybody seems to like it. You might forget about that and be yourself a bit and then you'll suddenly remember it for no reason and pick up that way of speaking they've adopted so well..oops! You've just fallen back into the trap.

It can take years to stop wanting to be someone else, dressing a certain way to impress someone else, acting a certain way to fit in and so on, so forth. Decades if you're an unlucky soul. But it's worth it, I'm sure.

I don't even do it myself! There are a range of people who I think are just totally amazing and I'm in awe of and I accidentally end up find myself trying to find stuff I think they would like when I'm out shopping, or I find myself walking the same way as them or talking in the same accent. I wish I didn't but as soon as I see that person, or think of that person then it just comes back into my head. The feeling that I'm not as good as them and I get upset because they are so much cooler than me and because they are so totally themselves.

How can you rectify it and not feel this? Well ultimately you have to be totally comfortable with yourself. You have to love and accept yourself and they way you look. You have to find a style of dress that you like (no, don't go stereotypes!), you have to learn to like the way you talk and they way you walk. If you don't like it then change it - but not so that it's like someone elses! So that it's a way you like it. When you're at school this could be a bit difficult because often career is another part of it so you're not going to be satisfied with your career...'cause you don't have one.

Chuck away those hoop earring that make your ears look massive! Go! Flee and throw them in the bin, now! Get a marker pen and draw on your really expensive but extremely boring and ugly adidas trainers as soon as possible. Stick your tongue out at people who laugh at you. Stop thinking people are better than you and go try your hardest to stop being everyone else.

Please?

For me?

Here, I'll give you a pact.

I'll stop trying to be like the people I try to be like and I will start dressing in things I like the look of if you do too! Promise! But you have to as well.

Kisses

Katiiiiiiii!

P.S: I have no clue if any of that made any sense. I should learn to structure things better but I'm annoyed at feeling like I'm being a duplicate, or wanting to be a duplicate and stuff. GOOD LUCK.

Quiz Shizz

Only doing it because there is something about croutons in it.

1. What time is it?
Why, I believe it may just be 19.59 as I type this. That was said looking directly at the clock in the right hand lower corner of my computer screen. If however I say it how I would say it out loud then it happens to be 7.59 (now it's 8.00 but shh) in the section of the day between midday and midnight. The upper one.

2. What's your full name?
My full name is a barrel of sparkling diamonds. However, I hate it. So I will hand to you a bowl of names which I like and you can select your favourite and call me it forever more.
Rosi Love (no not the demented spawn/child of Courtney Love)
Kat Star (ring any bells)
Ren Noir (Noir not actually being taken from Vince Noir, weirdly. I just like the word and used to get called Noir xD)
and err anything else you can think of.

The image of a giant rag doll creeping in my room in the dead of night and strangling me with liquorice bootlaces.

I don't know. Either St Trinians or Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Oh look at that, both of them have Russell Brand in!
I did watch Alice in Wonderland the other day though. That was good. I recommend watching it if you're ever on drugs, it would seriously weird you out.

"plus he is the sexism...that was meant to be a good thing" - 59/365

Okay so why am I holding a light bulb? Because I hate physics. I have a physics GCSE on Friday and every time I try and revise my brain just clouds over and I don't process it. Biology is fine, I've revised quite well for that (we did a mock today and I got A*) but I just can't revise physics. I need to as well because I'm really not good at it.

I'm listening to the Sex Has Made Me Stupid - heeee.

Two funny quotes from today:
Keiran in science: "The stoat never existed I tell ya!"
Me after someone telling me I look bad, basically: "if I were any good at come backs you'd be writhing on the floor in emotional turmoil right now"

I lub Sam because she made the random green play button on my phone screen go away :D And some red shape.

Uhmuhmuhm OHYEA. I've cheered up. A lot. For no reason. WOO.

I have a picture and an interview with Russell Howard stuck on my wall in my room. He's big into cereal.

Outside chemistry Ellie, Lewis and I were singing 'I love the chosen one..' :)

I saw a picture of me with black hair earlier and I want it black again.

I Feel Strangely Like I Have Nothing To Live For... - 58/365

Doing the Bouncy Bouncy dance (which is written on my tshirt..)
Bouncy bouncy ooh such a good time
Bouncy bouncy shoes all in a line
Bouncy bouncy everybody somersault! summertime! everybody sing along!
Bouncy bouncy ooh such a good time
Bouncy bouncy white socks slipping down
Bouncy bouncy stilettos are a no no
Bouncy Bouncy OOH
Bouncy Bouncy OOH
Everytime I bounce I feel I touch the skyyyyyy!


(Yes it's out of sync. Woo!)

Now the Boosh is gone I have nothing to look forward to...ow :(



That's a very natural picture. we didn't realise it was going off again so we were just talking and stuff. Yay.

LOOK AT THE BOOSH SHIRTS!

BOOSHBOOSHBOOSH - 57/365

Today I saw the MIGHTY BOOSH LIVE :D Oh my god so good! Noel is so so yummm *drool* Uhhh plus the show was good too! Oh, and that photo shows how close to the front we were!


I got my new mobileee phone in the morning, a Sony Ericsson of some description. That's me. Right there. See? *point* I'm Sunflaaaash 8] I'm from the fuuuuutureee. As I was saying that's me. And my phone. And a fluffy scarf. In Starbucks with the worst tasting expensive shortbread biscuit ever. Bleh.


I saw this girl walking along outside the lego shop in Churchill Square, she had orange hair, I liked it so I took a photo of her. It blurred but I think it looks quite groovyyyy. BUZZWORD!


We went shopping in the Laines and I saw this top in Smooth Criminal. And I bought it. Not normally what I'd wear, I don't think, but I like it, it looks rather cool :). Plus I'm trying to change my style a bit and I think this is a step in the right directionnnn.
"I did a shit in the Laines Brighton! and I rather liked iiiiiiiit"
You gotta love how NOEL uses things that are specific to where he is. Whoo!


I liked how this looked. I would have taken longer to take a really creative picture of it but we were sort of late so I just quickly snapped it. It looks okay though. It's the smashed glass in the door of a telephone booth that someone had an argument with. I like to think that it involved a massive shrew and an army of termites and lettuce but eh. Never mind.


All ready to go and shit. No idea how excited I was, I actually thought like I was gonna explode (come on, noel fielding in the realness not just on the telly! he is actually flawless looking...)




You have to get ready for such magic occassions with eye liner and nice clothes. Yay! Can you see the label on my hair band? So can I, but I did cut it off eventually. Seriously.


IN THE CAR OMG.

Okay so then we went in and bought stuff (t-shirts, see day 58 in which we are like..totally wearing them bitch!) and went in. Sat down (pretty much right in the middle at the front! AHH!) and got hyper. Then it STARTED. OMG BRILLIANT. So Noel was on a massive boat and he was on the side that we were and he is soooo lovely ahem and Julian was in a dinghy XD. Ahhh it was so funny. Rich (Bob Fossil) isn't funny on the DVDs and stuff, but he was really funny live. He made everyone stand up and dance.
Then there was Tony Harrisson, during which Noel fell over and started rambling about how crap the costume was as it was basically a hollowed out chair and a shower cap xD Bless him.
The Crack Fox had glowing needles and lost his nose. (Julian = crack fox)
Then the Hitcher. Ooooo the Hitcher. Well Noel got into the audience but he didn't come over our way. He fell over when he jumped off of the stage though and landed on a girl sitting like two seats up from me. I HATE HER! Dammit! Then he was back up on the stage and there was a giant eel (oh yes) which when the people off stage were throwing it on accidently hit Noel on the head and he fell over. He did one of those really graceful fall overs then stood up like "wtf there was an eel on my head?" and started dancing like your average cockney. Bless.



Intervalllllll.

So what happened after the interval? SUNFLAAAAAAAAASH! Chavese (a mix of chav and chinese, how everyone will speak in the future), beardedness, owlness, and Nanageddon. Ooooo yes. Oh and yanno, Dave (Bollo) tripped over and made the world topple over.

When it finished it turned out they weren't doing signings so we went round the back like stalkers with about 50 other people and stood outside the windows chanting NOEL NOEL NOEL NOEL NOEL NOEL and crimping at them. Mike came to the window loaaaaaads and was like "heee aren't they lovely people" and Rich pulled his top up at the window. Julian didn't go to the window at all and Noel went a few times. He just peered around the curtain at us, once wiggled his finger around and then peered through and ran off. Before he vanished (well there was a fake Noel which I think was to distract people whilst he went off the other way, but the fake Noel was after this) he came up to the window and like fell into it like that kinda 'I am god' pose thing.

We saw Rich going off down some stairs and he waved at us and then Mike came out of the back doors. He signed this persons book (we made friends with two people :D yay! I love random people) and I got a photo of the signature and a photo of Mike. But he was being ushered away by the security guard when he was about to sign our tickets (With eye liner!) which sucked. But photos of him and the signature be below.




Ahhh what a fun and stalky filled day.

BOOSH TOMORROW! I am so excited! Seriously, I've been buzzing all day.

This is pretty amazing:

Because of having a cold and really not wanting to have one at the Boosh I thought that I might try tapping on it (EFT). I did last night and my cold got no worse today, I took the day off school as a precaution, tapped again earlier and it's almost completely gone! I'll tap again before bed, in the morning and before I go out tomorrow but..yay! If that isn't proof it works what is?

Even worse? MY MEDIA TEACHER DOESN'T LIKE NOEL FIELDING! Tho I did get to watch him arguing with the other media teacher over whether the Mighty Boosh is good or not. Well funny.

52/365

My side has definitely got better after the agony I was in yesterday which was good. I managed to somehow stab myself in the eye with a comb this morning and didn't regain proper sight until third lesson.

However, my hate for my headteacher has grown. Why?

He used the 'D' word.

That word being...

DISCIPLINE.

The OED definition of 'Discipline': "the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience."

That in itself makes me angry, but using it in the context of the following just made me practically bubble over:
"there were many exclusions before half term which makes me very worried as it means I'm obviously not disciplining you properly"

You're not WHAT? You're not doing a good enough job of pouring us into a mould to make us identical, boring, robotic, social conditioned people?

The fact that people apologise for ridiculous things is bad enough (ie: the other day I was talking to someone and she mispronounced a word and then apologised profusely. Why do we apologise unless we're actually sorry? It's not even polite in that instance, just annoying), but what I really hate is that everyone is pretty much like a little clone. Okay so maybe not everyone. But almost everyone, you have to admit. In england at least there aren't many exceptions. Even people who claim to be individual aren't really. Not really.

The fact he feels he hasn't moulded us enough makes me want to throw some sort of heavy item in his direction.

Essentially what he is saying is he doesn't want us to be real people with individual thoughts and feelings. He suspended someone for a week for saying they DISAGREED with something one of the teachers said (that something, I believe, was related to the matter of life after death). So in his head we are meant to be perfect individuals who wear the same thing (he's thinking of making the 6th formers wearing a uniform too), with neutral coloured hair (if he sees you with any colour other than blonde, brown, black or ginger you get suspended until you dye it out. I'm suprised he hasn't forced people with red hair to dye it because it might distract!), freezing our arses off and never ever speaking our mind.

FUCK OFF YOU ARSE HOLE.

Todays moral: Don't eat chocolate kids, it's bad for you! Or do eat it but brush your teeth 'n' shit.

Love Yourself, Cutie.

Write a little post about yourself. The amazing, beautiful things about you. The individual things about you. The real you. The one you sometimes hide to avoid embarrassment. The one who is in love with everything and doesn't compare themselves to others. The one who laughs and lets go, who cries and holds on. Write a piece about yourself to make yourself and others fall in love with you all over again. Include music videos for maximum enjoyment.



I am Kati. I'm not perfect in any way. I don't always brush my teeth and I pick my nail polish off when I get bored but I'm me.

I love Alice in Wonderland and nice smelling flowers. I've walked barefoot in the rain holding a blossom flower with just a dress on before and enjoyed it. When it's cold outside I like to snuggle down under a duvet with a mug of hot chocolate and my computer. I have a wide rang of music taste, varying from Rihanna and Dizzee Rascal to Yelle to Laura Marling.

I want to live a beautiful and exciting life.

I don't like the taste of alcohol or the smell of cigarettes. I'm scared of illness and scared of hospitals. I don't like the dark when I'm alone and I sleep on my stomach hugging a 'Bagpuss' toy.

I plan to visit Paris. I like confusing people and making things more complicated than they really should be. I like pretty girls and pretty guys, unnatural hair colours and backcombed hair.



I have a loud voice which often causes people to tell me to shut up, or 'quieten down'. I think everyone is equal, that guys should be allowed to wear make up without any stick and that girls should have it easier in the workplace. I never want to work a conventional 9 - 5 job. I can see how social conditioning sucks out your soul and it makes me sad. I love talking like a 5 year old, extravagant hand movements and putting on red lip gloss then kissing people on the cheek. I like my loopy 'honey bee' handwriting.

I can't play sport very well, especially in winter, and I haven't been swimming for years because I don't want my hair to go green. I'm scared people won't like the real me and therefore only a handful of people have seen her. I love her.

I love having something to look forward and making it clear. I love pink highlighter pens and using them in strange ways.



Have a dream in which you're entirely you and no one else. You don't like that because he likes it. You don't not like them because she thinks they're uncool. You talk to the 'ugly girl' and don't give a fuck what people say about you. Look for what YOU like, not what is 'socially acceptable' (what is that, anyway? people will find something to pick at about you anyway, you might as well be outrageous) and not what the person you fancy would like. Listen to the music you want and be open and accepting of others.



Love yourself, cutie!

Scouting For Girls - 45/365

Eeeeh! Amaaaazing day. Went to Scouting For Girls in the evening and they were SO GOOD. The support bands were okay but they went on too long. For SFG we managed to get to the front on the far left right next to the speakers. And...Maya went in the mens toilet.

Ahhhhhh. Brilliant night.
