'On Ilkley Moor Bar-tat'

Cat has recently drawn my attention to a rather creepy song about why you shouldnt go on Ilkley Moor without a hat.......is basically coz ul die and get eaten by yorkshire people :S

Well technically worms, then ducks and then yorkshire people but still.....is disturbing!

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.

Katty's Bloody Brilliant Bread & Butter Pudding!

Even if she does say so herself ;)


Is way better than Spencer's smelly omlette!

'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.......

I've Eaten Like a Pig : Click me!

+ she calls me a nutteryhead?!

Houdini the Python is My Hero! (sorry Captain

Feathersword!!)

Heard a story on the radio about a snake called Houdini that managed to eat a queen-size electric blanket!!

Found an article in the Chicago Sun Times on it :

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!

For Katty's Mummy Dearest :D

Erm....the less said about this the better!!

"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!

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??

Independence Day Pics

Julie in her 'made in america with british parts' t-shirt......ewww!!

The fireworks were too loud for poor little Stinkerbell down at the lake.

Back to the appartment to take rubbish pics from the balcony!!

Told you they were rubbish!! (This was the best one too!)

Captain Feathersword!!

Captain feathersword fell asleep on his pirate ship,

then he woke up on a farm!

(Oh my goodness me!)

With roosters and ducks singing this song :

quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, cock-a-doodle-doo!

quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, cock-a-doodle-doo!

quack, quack, quack, a-doodley-doo!

Ugly Naked Guy moves to Chicago!!!

Picture this :

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.

Did i just rant about football??

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.
