GYPSY PUNKS!!
Me and Rach went to see Gogol Bordello :D Was bloody brilliant!!
We were getting stared/laughed at/moved away from pretty much all the way to Manchester (hehe). Probably coz we got progressively more hyper the further away from Bangor we got! Highlights of the journey being nearly dropping my bag on a sleeping mans head, being bounced against the train by some random at Piccadilly and freaking out the girl opposite at Chester by bouncing up and down and singing 'lalalala'!!
They were supported by Danko Jones (absolute shite) and Bedouin Soundclash (ace-ness) and some other band that we missed coz we were hungry :S
So we danced like crazy people, got jumped on and squished between other crazy people, everyone was really happy and bouncy tho so it was really cool (am used to gigs full of angry people). Then we bought matching Gogol Bordello t-shirts (we're so gay!), bounced, skipped and sang our way across Manchester, went back to Liam's (Rachel's brother) and died!!

Tonight I ...
Dropped my nail polish remover on the floor in my bathroom and nearly blinded myself!!
Probably would have died if there really had been a fire in our building when the alarm went off just as we were about to leave! 'Ooh, I just need to brush my teeth first'!!
Went out with only 2 finger nails painted as a result of stupid fire alarm.
Walked across the pub like i'd 'crapped my pants' to put Nikki's coat up as pay back for making her walk all the way back home to get my vasaline (which actually turned out to be in my bag).
Got chatted up by some random old man Dave felt the need to introduce me to. Thank you DAVE!
Sat on some stairs drinking gin and crying because nobody liked my shoes :(
Spat curry all over myself coz i was laughing so hard at McDonalds making their doors smaller so fat people cant get in! (I could see it!).
Tried to watch Nightwatch but I broke my tv and my computer was being poo :(
Had an icing/pillow/beanbag fight with Mike and Nikki while Dave recorded it (Sounds soooo dodgy).
Apparantly I look like a birthday cake.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea???
Ok, so it's not me. I can't breath underwater and even if I could I doubt I'd find a pineapple big enough! UNLESS........I'd found a magic tree that grew giant pineapples! But then I'd sell them all and make a crap load of money and live in a great big house on the top of a mountain in New Zealand (but I could still keep a pineapple as a holiday home).
Anyway......do di do doooo......I've started my new course which is mostly fun but also a bit poo. I've got kind of a lot of assignments but I've got quite a while to do them in so I can't really complain (well I can + probably will).
Tomorrow I'm going to be a tour guide for the day! I'm gunna be on a bus running in between the SU and Ffridd Site all day talking to potenetial students about I'm not quite sure what yet! I have a meeting in about an hour so hopefully they'll tell me then!
But for now I shall be mostly tidying my room for mine and Hazel's girly night :D

Katty's Don't Like Packing :(
I started sorting out my stuff a couple of days ago and it's pretty obvious that its not all gunna fit in my bag! Although having said that it's not as bad as last time when I came over with one giant suitcase, went home with two giant suitcases and still had to leave stuff behind! I was here for 5 months that time though. This time I'll still be bringing back 2 suitcases from the looks of things but they probably wont be full.
Not that it really matters how much stuff I bring back coz my Mummy and my Snotface are gunna come and get me from the airport!! Yay! I've missed my Mummy. She's ace! (Creep!)
I'm going out to Geneva this weekend (not Switzerland .... Illinois) so I have two nights out there, one night back here and then I'm comin home! I'm excited can you tell?!!
Still hate packing but it's made a lot easier when basically everything in the room (on the floor in my case! hehe!) has to go in!

Still no mulching......but I built a bench!
I volunteered for a project over at Portage Park on Saturday and I built a bench!! Am rubbish at hammering and I very much doubt if the finished product would pass health and safety but am still very proud of myself!!
We were building planter benches which had been partially built (some very shod
dily!) and needed finishing off. Basically they gave us hammers, nails and a pile of wood and said 'Off you go!' :s which anybody who knows me could have told them was foolish!

Pool Day!
Today we went over to Shari's to play in her lovely pool :D Involved lots of sunbathing, splashing, swimming and afterwards lots of yummy food!
I do have a bit of a problem with bugs though (particularly waps :s) and you can guarantee that if there's water and food there'll be plenty of those around! So i did spend quite a lot of time running round the edge of the pool flailing my arms around and screaming like a girl! But i am a girl so i guess thats to be expected!
I decided it was time to go in when after i'd been sunbathing for a while i sat up and found a squished wasp where my head had been! It hadnt stung me or anything....dont think its stinger was long enough to get through all my hair! haha! Then a giant ant came and carried it away :s Am looking forward to being at home again, where the insects are normal!

My Friend Geoff
A dot lives on my ceiling and I like to call him Geoff. He never answers me though (I think he may be deaf!). I see him changing colour as I watch him from my bed. Sometimes he is blue or green! But mostly he's just red.
A dot lives on my ceiling and he moves from left to right. He thinks that I can't see him in the middle of the night. He waits til I'm not looking and darts across the roof! He makes it halfway down the wall, then vanishes with a POOF!
Yes, things have got that bad that I'm making friends with a tiny speck of light!
Will that do Mary?

Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy............
Just got back from Seattle a few hours ago and am completely knackered!!! The fishing trip was really cool though! Got some good pictures and more importantly some yummy fish! Well.....am assuming it's yummy as we havn't actually eaten any yet!
We were on the boat by about 5.30am (explaining the knackered-ness!) so we got to watch the sunrise from the boat which was very pretty :D Then Matt (the guy that took us out) set up all the gear for us (was a lazy mans fishing trip) and we set off across Puget Sound in search of salmon!
After about half an hour or so I caught my first fish!
His name is Geoffrey :)
After I caught my second fish I found out just how not fun sticking your finger in a live salmon is! They made me hold it up for a picture. Kirk (the other guy....think that was his name) was swinging his round by the gills like all 'lalala......this is easy' but his had been dead for half an hour! Mine was still wiggling!
Say hello to Mr. Smooshyhead! I really don't look happy! hehe!
Two superstitions I'd never heard of:
1. Bananas are bad luck
2. Yellow attracts sharks (they call it yum yum yellow - people not sharks coz they cant talk......or can they?)
Obviously John and I weren't aware of the first one as between us we'd brought six on the boat with us! oops! It seems the angry banana god spared us anyway seeing as we caught our limit and the boat didn't sink.
As for the yum yum yellow theory apparantly sharks can smell the colour yellow coz even though those bananas were out of sight in our cooler bags Kirk still caught a dogfish!
Will write more bout the rest of the trip later....is stupid o'clock in the morning and i need sleep!

Gone Fishin'
We're off on our fishing trip early (ish) tomorrow morning! Dad managed to upgrade us! Woop! & even better than that I don't even have to sit next to him! lol! We're on the same row so if I get really bored we're close enough together for me to throw stuff at him but far enough apart for the flight attendant to be able to stop him from strangling me :D
Oh yeah, we're not going to Vancouver anymore for anyone who didn't know. Dad found someone to take us out from Seattle which saves us about 10 hours driving and 2 ferry trips over 2 days. Also means we'll get to do a bit of sightseeing and seafood eating! Hooray for the seafood! Dad says he's gunna bring oysters on the boat for a snack.....is probably bull.....but you never can tell with that man.

Tonight was The Wiggles! I realise that when your 20 years old spending your Saturday night at a Wiggles concert is pretty lame but Captain Feathersword is just so cool!!

So this is what bread looks like in Wisconsin.........
My Dad obviously does not listen to anything anyone says! I was going to spend the weekend with Shari over at her parents house. They own a dollar store (a really cool one!) and her Dad's been ill so we went over to help out a bit. I couldn't remember where Shari's parents lived so I asked Dad and he told me it was in Wisconsin.
Phone conversation I had with Dad just before i left:
Dad : Have fun eating all the bread!
Me : Bread?
Dad : Yeah, it's a bread shop.
Me : I thought it was a dollar store?
Dad : Oh, maybe. I dunno.
So in summary Dad was under the impression that I was going to Wisconsin to work in a bread shop.
Was he right??
Erm, no!
It was a dollar store in Illinois (just on the border of Iowa) so not only did he get the wrong state he actually got the wrong direction too!!
Chuh! Silly man.

Dead Clowns + Bendy People!
Tonight I went to see Cirque Du Soleil :D The tickets said it was at this stadium downtown, turns out it was in a great big tent in the car park. Was really good! Bit surreal....the basic plot involved a dead (or possibly dreaming) clown and it started off with these really freaky guys picking up someone out of the audience and carrying him off in a coffin! This was followed by lots of angels, people swinging from chandeliers, other people dangling upside down held only by a little piece of cloth held in someones teeth, a midget floating around attached to four great big balloons! Was ace!
Anyway it took me about an hour to write this much coz the computers being poo! Dad must be home! Will finish up tomorrow.

'I'm feeling the need to leave.....preferably before
one of them opens the cupboard and all of my
crap falls out!'
The cleaners came today. So as usual i crammed all the stuff from my floor into my cupboard, went and sat in the lobby and read my book for half an hour until I was sure they were gone! They leave a little card behind with the name of each cleaner and what job they did. So Veronica did the vacuuming, Claudia did the Kitchen, Eugenia did the Bathroom + Jesus (thats right! JESUS!) did the dusting! lol! Wow! Jesus cleaned our appartment....how many people can say that?!! ey?!
There are some pretty odd names over here though! When I was here last time I did some filing for one of Dad's friend in his office + there were some strange ones in there! Precious, Princess, Jesus (again! he gets around!) and my personal favourite : Poncho! If I ever have a son they're so gunna be called Poncho....just so when people say 'that kid must have really cruel parents' i can say 'yes, he does' :D

Wild Men and Beetles Named Ringo
'There are hundreds of species of birds in this park and a wild man. If you see the wild man, run!' Possibly some very good advice from the 14 year old boy I had a wheelbarrow race with through the woods today! Didn't see one tho.....am very disappointed :(
I was told that we'd being mulching trails and weeding today.....*shakes head*.....turns out Jamie (the girl who ran the project) was wrong on that one! Didnt get to burn stuff BUT they did give me a saw!!! How cool is that?! Is possibly even better than burning stuff! Actually, I take that back, nothing is better than burning stuff! (Am sorry Fire God! Will sacrifice 2 extra squirrels on Tuesday! + possibly a gopher when i get back to Bangor...mwah ha ha ha......'oh, Spencer.....')
La, la,la....anyway, where was I? Saws! Basically had to saw up a tree into little tiny pieces and put them on a big wood pile which we didnt get to burn :( Then we went over to the other side of the pork (oink! lol i mean park!) to cut down some wire fences. Involved wading through 3 foot high grass, getting smacked in the head by the same branch (FIVE TIMES!!) and running up and down the path with wheelbarrows! Was ACE! hehe!
So after 3 hours i was pretty knackered and ready to go home but Dad had other ideas! *rolls eyes* So we actually ended up walking around the shopping mall for a couple of hours looking for a new suitcase for Dad. It wouldnt have been all that bad except for the fact that it was the really posh shopping mall and I was in scruffy clothes, shoes with holes in and had mud all over me. The words 'hedge' and 'backwards' spring to mind. As Mum would say i looked like nobody loved me!
In the car on the way back from the mall i had a lovely suprise! 3 hours after I'd left the nature centre i found a big blue beetle sitting on my shoulder! Unfortunately for poor little Ringo (that was his name, he whispered it in my ear) his life was very cruelly cut short when Dad squished him in a tissue!

The Cheek!!!
I have reason to believe that the top i bought from Gap yesterday was previously owned!! The biggest clue would have to be the hole that somebody has burnt into it and (very shoddily!) sewn back up! How bad is that?! I'm gunna take it back and try to swap it & they'd better still have it in my size!
Pumbaa, you are a pig!
hehehehehehehehehe.......

Chop, Chop! Dig, Dig! (Burn, Burn?)
I joined Chicago Cares (volunteering) when i was over here last time. Never actually did anything with them though (this was over a year ago) but my password still works on the website so i've signed up for a couple of projects over the weekend.
On Sunday I'm weeding and/or mulching trails! lol ! Is good though coz it's relevent to my course as is all environmenty :D Plus if i keep going to that one they do controlled burns!! Burning stuff!! + being ALLOWED to burn stuff!! you might as well kill me right after coz i'll never be as happy again.
Bedtime story
Lu-Lu wrote me a story :D I have a door made of marzipan AND I have a doorhandle made of flump! How cool is that?!!
So have decided to write my own story. Here it is:
Once upon a time there were three girls called Lu-Lu, Malice & Katty. They were ace. They were the best. AND they were better than you.
The End.
Have a feeling only 3 people in the world will like my story.....
also have the feeling they will be the 3 best people in the world!! ;)
so nuh!!

Fish are food! Not friends!
I'm going on a fishing trip with my Daddy! Like a father son thing except that I'm a girl and Dad's friend John is coming too.....but apart from that!
We're flying to Seattle on 13th August & somehow making our way over to Vancouver Island by the 14th where we'll be going out on a tiny boat for six hours in search of Salmon!
I've only been fishing once (I cought one Mackerel which i named Pepper and ate for my tea) and I've never been to Cananda so I'm really looking forward to it!

"Mummy doesn't call me Stinkypants Jarvis! She just calls me Julia!"
Maire went to work today so i had Stinkerbell all to myself! Mwah ha ha ha ..... ha! I was nice really!
We made best friend bracelets (she has best and i have friend coz my wrist is bigger!) while Julie repeatedly asked me 'Are you ok Katie my friendy?'! Hehe!
Then we went to Ben and Jerry's for ice creams with sprinkles :D, played on the park, played with leaf helicopters + chased squirels!
Then when we got home Julie left me a lovely present in her nappy + it wasnt a toaster!!
Now we're tired so we're watching Pocahontas :) That Grandmother Willow is very clever you know!
It's a hard life!Monday, July 10, 2006
No jobs for Katty
There's still no sign of my social security number :( I was originally told that i would have it within a week of getting to the US (I've been here for 2 so far!) but as it turns out it's likely to be closer to 6 weeks! So it looks like i'm gunna be unemployed for the summer.
Now i have to find something to do for the next 2 months........
any ideas??

I'm at the cinema, waiting in line for my popcorn, looking around....'do di do do doo.......OH MY GOD!!!' What do i see???? Great big, (quite possibly insane!) naked man with some random, hysterical, screaming woman holding his clothes over his bits and trying to stop him from walking out into the foyer! After a few minutes of screaming and people running away covering their childrens eyes (hehe) the guy in front of me went over and got them out of sight. Of course Dad missed the whole thing coz he was getting his swedish fish, chuh!
After that Superman Returns seemed a bit dull!! Actually it was a really good film but i dont want to ruin it for anyone so i'm going to limit my comments to : Kevin Spacey is ace :D
On the way back from the cinema we saw a little poofy dog attack 2 great big huge dogs! The little dogs owner dropped it's lead so it took the opportunity to launch itself at one the big dogs' neck!! While someone next to them screamed 'Oh my baby'!!
Was a very strange day.

World Cup in HD! See each individual tear trickle down Ferdinand's face with perfect clarity!
American commentators are sooo unbelievably annoying! They're bad enough when they're talking about a sport that they actually understand! Not that i'm saying that i do but 'The score's still nothing, nothing so it looks like we'll be going into PKs'!! nothing nothing + PKs?!! What the frickin hell is a PK?!
They were also showing footage from some pub in Wimbleton with a whole bunch of england fans watching the game. Another source of rage being '+ here we have some england fans in a pub in wimbledon watching our game + not the tennis' (followed by cheesy laughs).
Katty's bulletpoints of rage!

- Our game?!
- why would they be wearing football kits to watch tennis???
- why would they be showing footage of people watching a tennis match in a pub in england during a world cup game??
- why would they be watching tennis in a pub? 'I'm goin down t'ut pub to watch the tennis'?? i think not.
- and lastly they're stupid so nuh!
That's all.

Katty DOESNT like lightening!!
So, i've beeen here for.....thinking......1...2....3...4 days? It's wednesday rite? There has been thunder and lightening every day!! I mean c'mon it's getting silly now!
The first night i woke up at 2am coz i was getting rained on through the window! This is seriously interfering with my plan to lay by the pool all week! bah!
Still pretty tired. I've woken up before 6am everyday so far. I was so exhausted last nite that i fell asleep on the sofa in a room full of people! Woke up at midnight to find everyone gone + myself underneath a winnie the pooh blanket hugging a cuddly tinkywinky! :s
Good news tho!! Lost is on the TV here still (repeats) + its a couple of episodes behind where it is at home! wooop! Mum would be very disappointed to hear that i was this excited about a TV show i'm sure but i can't help it!!

Back in the UK! (for less than 24 hours!)
Just got back from Denmark + i am absolutely shattered! Had about 3 hours sleep last night or something stupid like that! + now I'm back at my Gran's til 11am tomorrow + then I'm off to Dad's for the summer! Think i might possibly collapse when i get there! Luckily I'm staying with Shari for the first week + she has a pool, which i intend to lie next too all week while shes back at work!!
Had a good week (even though i failed both of my missions). Lots of food + sun + disgusting dill flavoured vodka :s bluh! We had a hot tub! + swings!! + a SAND PIT!!
Which was nice :D
As Kate tradition goes i had to leave something behind.....this time i left a pair of soggy socks in Gilleleje. Last time i left my bra in Copenhagen :s Both have perfectly reasonable explanations but it's more fun to let people make up their own!

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen! (well close enough!!)
Will only be a short post coz dont have long!
Just a quick update on how im getting on with my missions!
Mission one : watch the Sweden v England match in Sweden
Unfortunately i failed :(
I did go to Sweden on the day of the match but it didnt start til 9pm & we needed to get the ferry back to Denmark. Had to settle for watching in in Gilleleje instead.
Mission two : find out what a Danish pastry is called in Denmark
i've passed this one on to Shari, her and Sue-Lynn are off visiting some of Sue-Lynn's Danish relatives at the moment so shes gunna ask them for me! :)
Rite, i'd better get off .... will add some pics when i get back to Grandmama's.

Katty's contribution to world peace :)
ooh ooh! I want one too!!
create your personalized map of europe

Although hopefully by next week i'll be able to add Sweden to that as i have decided to make it my mission to watch England vs Sweden there next Tuesday!
Tom has promised to avenge my death when i've been killed by angry swedes + Sarah promises she'll never eat them again!

First post! woooooo.....how exciting!!
The basic idea behind this is that i'm sposed to be letting everyone know what i'm getting up to in the US over summer without having to write a million long and boring emails that no1 can be arsed with . This way you can check up on me when you're bored + ignore me the rest of the time :D
So my first post is a little premature i guess seeing as i've only made it to Salford so far! But technically i have left the country (as in Wales) + my blog looks really empty, not that it'l take long to fill it with crap!
Leaving home was quite sad. I don't think my brother realised i was leaving quite that soon :s But i had a really nice last day at home (apart from the strop i threw in the afternoon which i'm just gunna put down to stress! sorry mum!). We went down to Traeth Buchan for a few hours with a couple of disposable BBQs :) Tried to get Tom in the sea but he wasnt having any of it - spoil sport!
I finally went to Bristol with Tom, something i've been promising i'd do since Christmas! Got to meet his family + most importantly the dog! Was so damn hot though!! + Toms room is on a slant so i got kicked up the bum + elbowed about a million times on the first nite which was charming! But apart from that.......i had a good time :)
Now, where ever i go i always leave something, toothbrush, socks etc. I left my bra in Copenhagen! This time i managed to leave my x-ray, visa AND my passport in Bristol! Fortunately for me i have a very lovely boyfriend who's prepared to travel all the way to Warrington and back to bring his idiot girlfriend all the stuff she left behind!
I also left Julia's rubber ducky in his fridge......dont ask!!
Well that brings me as far as Grandma's + i think i've waffled enough for one day! Hopefully the next time i post i'll be in Copenhagen, which apparantly is going to be around 25 degrees. Which is slightly annoying when you packed jumpers coz u thort it was going to be cold! Gah! Could hav fit at least another 20 tops in that space! ;)
