Officially stopping my blog for the time being, but feel free to check out my Twitter, I update it constantly!

Goodnight.
I've got to get back into the habit of blogging, I am currently in bed at this moment in time.
I wrote a song yesterday, it's my favourite one yet - It's called "Better Off" and was the easiest one i've ever composed... strange that.
I just ate three Sainsbury's oranges, they were kind of bleak - I can't can't live without our organic ones now, every shop bought orange is just not the same.
I have a weird twitch in my eye and toe... I had it last night too, it's rather disturbing really. Maybe it's due to the lack of sleep - of which I'm going to catch up on now.
Goodnight.

Hello there.
I've been kind of slugging off on blogging over the past two days, because I haven't found the time to fit it in - sorry.
First week back to school has been crazy, oh yes.
I spent all morning in town, it was fun - but I hate my town, it kind of sucks.
BUT, I did get two major things for tomorrows photo. I do now however, need to plan what I wear in my 365 day photo as I don't want to clash with my backdrops.
Todays photo was a quick one.

Today has been very unusual. I'm kind of glad what I did last night because I feel relieved and also better off where I am at the moment, I do SO not want to go back to that.
I'm dreading tomorrow - it's like the new Monday, but way worse due to one thing and then my form tutor adding another thing and making the day even worse, oh I hate her... thanks woman.
I'm not making much sense now, so I'll stop.
I'm in bed and It's 10:00 so I'm about to head off to bed, although I am already in it, that made no sense what so ever... But not before I show you my daily photograph, I love todays - it has pretty colours and I didn't even mean to take it, so it's a bonus really.
P.S - Happy 200th Post!!!

It's moi... but then who else would it really be? Unless it is a hacker - but then I wouldn't say it was... or would I?
So, I'm in a really random mood, I think I'm finally chilling out - first day back to school is always crazy. I just really fancy a hot chocolate. BUT I only have half an hour before I go to bed, so I'm going to blog and then clean my room... yay!
I also had two dreams last night, the first was weirdly good - I'm finding myself kind of wishing it was true, why? The second involved one of my closest friends and it was absolutely ridiculous, because every bit about it was not correct. Firstly because she had a brother of a different ethnicity and secondly because I ended up on a bus to Australia - and dreams are meant to be a message from your subconscious how exactly?
I just ordered a Red Nose top, I love it.
Also, I'm watching a programme about teenagers who are constantly sleepy, it's kind of bizarrely interesting.
Anyway, here's Day 11...
It took me ages, and then I walked around like an idiot for a bit just to make it all worthwhile.
I still have black toenails - the paint wont come off.

I decided not to write about the majority of my day, because I feel it would be rather negative. Instead here's a little interesting information about my sink cupboard...
A few days ago, my way of storing all of my make up and hair products was to pile it all in my sink cupboard. Most of it was grouped together in a very organized system (the pile). That's not to say the system was not flawed. There was one tiny, insignificant recurring problem.. Occasionally when you opened the door, it would create a giant avalanche of lip gloss and eye shadow and other various cosmetics (sometimes a container of powder, which was undoubtedly left halfway closed - SO much fun to clean up). I was fine with my system, 17% of the time, it worked perfectly without disastrous results. I wasn't going to complain about it because I really knew there was only one way to sort it and that would take hours, and I didn't have time to create another system (this takes planning and brainstorming). So my sink cupboard has stayed the same terrible mess of piled up beauty products for three years.. while I lived my life with the sad, unorganized state of my sink cupboard weighing in the the back of my conscience. Then suddenly... EVERYTHING changed, while feeling in a really random mood I decided to completely clear it out - Now they have their perfect little home, all gathered together in their tiny, organized sanctuary. My jewelry has been neatly placed into these little jewelry containers that separate your necklaces so they don't get tangled into a huge unrecognizable, mangled ball that is IMPOSSIBLE to untangle. That used to happen to me all the time, but NOW it's preventable! Also, I found so many things that went missing over the years... The most notable find would have to be my old sunglasses. I couldn't believe it, but there they were! Apparently they had been lost somewhere in the giant pile of cosmetic doom... I eventually gave up the search after a few weeks. Now they're back!

Day 9
Muhaha, It's me!
Today has been really good, I've done nothing that I wanted to - Instead of doing my homework I was looking at holiday information with my mother, 155 days to go.
Todays photo was something rather different, this photo project is crazy, I had 3 messages this morning asking me where my daily photo was - it's like the buzz. Well I'm happy people like my photos.
Anyway... todays photo had to be taken at night as I have been dying to try light exposures out - it was actually really fun.
Day 9
they don't understand art...
Hello everyone, I'm blogging after dark - first time I've done that for a while!
Today has been lovely, It's been sunny all day, which is really the first all year - we don't get much sun here in England... It sucks.
Todays picture took me ages, because I had to stick about 100 gummy bears on my wall - it actually took me longer to take them all off I think. Then my parents went mad, they don't understand art...
Day 8
Then my father and I in the afternoon went to this quarry and canal to take some pictures so I could check out my new camera lens as I've only taken portrait pictures with my normal lens up until now.
1000 gummy bears.
It's Friday! Which means meal night, whoop whoop - I want to go to Frankie and Bennie's tonight, I fancy a cajun chicken pizza.
Kind of a late start to the day, I got up at about 10:00ish.
Went straight onto my 365 day photo. It was kind of a disappointing one for me today as I had SO many amazing ideas which all came out really bad, maybe I shouldn't over think things too much. However, I got a lovely message from this person who said he was very impressed by it and didn't understand why I disliked it so much, I've been told to be less negative with my photos.
I really do have an really cool idea for tomorrows photo though, it involves buying about 1000 gummy bears.
Day 7
I don't really have anything planned for this afternoon, I like it that way - more interesting things happen. Yesterday I baked Mr Men cakes with a friend, took us back years as we used to bake loads when we were little.
what can you do?
I'm shattered, was up until 1:00am this morning watching 90210, oh dear.
I have a load to do today, but I really can't be bothered to do any of it... I'm in SUCH a good mood as the sun is shining and there is blue sky out! I can't wait until summer, I really can't.
Anyway, last night I got to open my new camera... however this ceremony was shortly interupted by my brother losing his memory stick in the space of 10 minutes - So we all went on a massive hunt in the three rooms he could have lost it in, we literally spent about an hour and none of us found it, in fact he still hasn't found it this morning.
It's kind of ironic that he can't remember where he put his memory stick, don't you think?
So this morning I was messing around with my new lenses, I've probably got a LOAD of dust in them now and my dad will go barmy... what can you do?
Day 6's shot was the hardest and easiest yet. Hardest because it took me, no joke, about an hour to write on the stickies with a ball point pen and then they kept falling off me, but also the easiest because I have a setting on my camera where I can continually self timer take photos so I didn't have to keep going up to my tripod every two seconds to take one.
MY CANON 1000D JUST CAME,
I'm shattered as I was up until 12:30am this morning especially so I could take my Day 5 photo as I needed darkness, but in the end it didn't come out how I wanted so I just ended up taking another one this morning anyway - typical.
Day 5
No joke I had about 10 minutes to take this photo.
I'm really mega surprised that I've got to day 5, my brother said that I wont be able to keep it up longer than two weeks - so now I have to prove him wrong.
OH MY GOD! MY CANON 1000D JUST CAME, like the door just literally rang and I just signed for it... my brother opened it so I wouldn't get done for opening dads mail, well now I have time to check out my sick new lens before tomorrows photograph. Goodbye I'm cutting this blog post short, I have something to keep me occupied now.
Here's Day 4...
You have NO idea how knackered I am.
I had to get up rather early this morning as my brother was looking around Universities, I didn't even have time to take my 365 day photo.
I've decided that minus the location and the smallness of Uni
versity accommodation, It all looks rather fun - I can't believe it'll be me in three years time.
My feet are throbbing as I wore boots for the whole tour, thankfully it was a private tour so we didn't have to lug around with a load of people... and on the plus side I managed to get out of my dad that he finally ordered my new camera and image stabilizer lens and that it's in the post - hopefully it'll arrive later this week so I can continue my project with an SLR camera rather than my point and shoot... I do think however, it's the person who makes a good photographer not how good his camera is - although my dad pointed out, having a good camera also helps.
Here's Day 4...
maybe this project will change that.
So, I woke up as bright as sunshine... very early.
Update - I just got a message saying;
Your "Day 3" Photo
Hi Kathryn,
Just to inform you that I have just put your a.m. photo in "1001 Nights" group's "Hall of Fame" where it will remain till next week-end.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/1001_nights/
In fact, on the occasion of "Valentine's Day", we decided to honor the women in our "Hall of Fame".
Have great day,
Saad
Decided to touch up a few bits of my new song and decided whilst I'm there to do my 365 days photo. It was quite a fun one to do really, I still have the notes on my wall and my room is now a complete mess.
I'm not 100% pleased with it, my face looks weird, but anyone who knows me knows that I'm never completely happy with a picture of myself - maybe this project will change that.
So, I'm by myself for the rest of the morning and afternoon, later I'm going to try and start my history coursework. For now I'm going back to my guitar for a bit.

- Okay, I've decided I like this photograph now.
SO fingers crossed...
It's Sunday AND there's no school tomorrow as it's half term - which feels kind of funny as I've had the Christmas break and only less than three weeks back at school and now we have another week off.
So I've had a crazy day so far, I spent about 2 hours this morning solid cleaning for my parents which was alright as I don't mind cleaning and I was listening to my iPod. Now I have a load of people over and we've only just had lunch... They are some people that we met in Greece all the way back in 2006 and we haven't seen them for yonks so It's really nice to catch up and also they are traveling the same part as Greece at the same time as us in the summer so we are all exchanging itineraries to see if it's possible to meet up when we're out there.
Also, they have talked my parents into doing an RV holiday next year (as they said it was amazing) so we can go to Disneyland for 5ish days and then travel round California - I LOVE RV's, they're SO cool and it suits my parents as they are reluctant to spend two weeks in a hotel. SO fingers crossed...
Right, I've got to go off and entertain my guests. Here's day 2...
he loved it.
So today I've been rather productive.
Then we went to Ikea and I bought a load of scented candles for my room and also a new bedside light as I smashed my other one - whoops.
I've spent pretty much all morning with my family. Saw Saoirse in the afternoon, she's already three weeks old, but still as cute as ever - I could have cuddled her all day long. I also drew a picture that Elle coloured in (she chose the most violent picture in the whole book for me to draw) and showed Tadhg how to press the capture button on my camera, he loved it.
Aren't babies just SO cute
Then we went to Ikea and I bought a load of scented candles for my room and also a new bedside light as I smashed my other one - whoops.
Just had a Chinese, it was yummy... but I now feel kind of sick.
Spending the next hour or so completely clearing and cleaning my room ready for the party tomorrow, although no one is going in my room anyway... I don't want people to spill drinks on the floor.
I've changed my 52 week project into an even more crazy project of 365 days... Now you wont just have a texted post on what I've been up to each day, you'll also have a picture.
Here's day 1...
na-na-na-na na-na na-na can't touch this
Just went out for dinner and had an encounter with a really rather yummy Irish guy. I am now doing some art and watching a really cheesy teenage chick flick.
So, I literally started this post about an hour ago - I keep getting distracted, I'm talented at that. I'm now listening to Take That and sitting on my window sill, it's rather quiet tonight, maybe everyone else is having a movie night too - either that or they're all out partying, seeing that it's a Friday I'm thinking the second one.
I've had a pulsation of positivity over the last few day, I have no idea why... But I'm rather fond of it, I'm seeing the world in a drastically different light, there's way more to the world and situations than meet the normal eye... it takes a curious one to notice them.
We'll do it all, everything on our own.
We don't need anything or anyone.
Strange that that song just came up, It describes my mood exactly. I think karma and I are teaming up, I hope it stays like that - I've decided that life's too short to hold grudges, so I've decided to let go of them, not that I actually have any at this precise moment in time... woah, I'm feeling deep, am I connecting with you?
Half an hour until I can and have to go to bed, yeah I'm still sticking to this hypnosis thing, it's amazing - talking of which Johnny and I had a really funny chat about that in History, he's one of those people I can talk to about stupid stuff because he already knows how weird and stupid I can be and still thinks of me as normal - the weird boy.
I'm in SUCH a good mood tonight, na-na-na-na na-na na-na can't touch this - can you tell? Goodbye today, welcome tomorrow... off I pop to a magical place called my dreams, which momentarily consist of, well not a lot.
Goodnight.
way less problematic.
Soooo, I've had SUCH a good and positive day!
I really think it's down to this hypnosis CD that my brother acquired and made me listen to last night - it's seriously SO interesting. I really didn't believe that all that mush actually worked, it actually does, yeah it's kind of scary too.
No, I'm not some freak who is planning to turn into the demon head master, but it really interests me - maybe I should go into phycology.
Also, I've learned that observing is far more rewarding than taking part and also way less problematic.
Just persuaded my dad to trade in my cannon 450D for the EOS 1000D but with a better lens that way I may actually use it as I'm really fed up of my point and shoot camera now, he couldn't turn me down as he just bought my brother a REALLY stupidly expensive phone.
I've got quite a bit to do tonight - Can't wait for bed now, I actually want to sleep now, tehehe.
can't believe it.
Happy 11th day of February, can't believe it - where has time gone?! I hope everyones year has started out amazing! As for me, it's starting out pretty hectic and crazy. I'm busier than ever. And it's just going to start to get worse too because I've got a load of friends coming up at the weekend - totally psyched about it, however I'm not sure when I'm going to get all this homework done.
But I like being busy. Who wants to sit around doing nothing? Uhm... no one?
Anyway, so I'm pretty annoyed about how the snow is taking over the country at the moment - it really wares off on you after a while, now it's just constantly wet and cold! AND dark, oh I can't wait for summer.
Everything else is going great. I'll be taking up more of my busy time preparing for a piano grade I have next month. Yayayay, can't wait! I can't really think of anything negative to say about life right now. Except I could go on for hours complaining about how much I hate English. But I wouldn't waste my time on ENGLISH... ew.
I'm working on tons of new stuff at the moment. So heads up for everything!
Oh and dude! I don't know where all of these subscribers came from... can't believe it.
I should start my history essay now. It's almost half five and I have things to do tonight. Bad child! Bad child!
Good evening & goodbye!

the 52 weeks project.
Well good evening...
Today has been an uhh, interesting one. Nothing good has happened yet nothing bad either.
Soooo... I was thinking (yes I am capable of doing that) of interesting ideas and I've decided to start a fun project.
So, this project is going to be named the 52 weeks project.
Basically, I'm going to take a picture of myself resembling something/an item every week that's had an impact on me on that particular week. I'm wondering if I'll keep it up... well we'll see when I start it.
I have SO much to do tonight, I've decided I may just watch a movie instead... well why not?
Ooo, dinner - about time.
