Hey guys

I’ve had a pretty busy last two weeks, I’ve been out a lot with my new friends.

I saw The Maine the week before last which was awesome!! I didn’t care much for the support band – nevershoutnever but The Maine were awesome. Me and my friend were the oldest there it was strange!! There were teenies everywhere and they all were screaming for the support band, then when they had done their set half of them left!! I thought why would you buy tickets to The Maine when you just came for the support band.
Anyway as the teenies were leaving I was making my way towards the front I wanted a good view!!
I did manage to shove my way to the barrier as the night went on, I’m pretty sure I pissed off a lot of 15 year olds but oh well they were pissing me off screaming at John & Kennedy like “OMGZZZILOVEYOUJOHN” i’m like shh

After the gig, me and my friend decided to go to a foam party at a club, good idea in theory but in reality it wasn’t. I had an allergic reaction to the foam and I’ve hurt my rib through this guy lifting me up.
We met some nice people in the club (they were my flatmate’s girlfriends friends) and one was really cute but he had a girlfriend! typical!!
Anyway they invited us to their house party last friday which we went to which was a lot of fun, I met an italian guy there who was pretty cute.
The same people had a couple of barbecue’s this week as well which were equally fun, I got drunk but not too much. My friend got really drunk on Saturday which was funny.

There’s a lot of drama this last couple of weeks that’s been going on with my friends, but I won’t go into it now it’s extremely complicated.
PS. I saw Dewi’s girlfriend, she’s like 17.
PPS. I don’t know how I feel about him anymore, i think I’m getting over him

I’ve been working on a few tutorials, I haven’t had a lot of time this week because I’ve been out socialising. I’ve been writing some PHP tutorials which you can check out here:
2 new PHP Tutorials
I’ll be doing some more updates shortly, hopefully this week, and I won’t leave it so long until I blog again :P
Here’s some pictures of when I went to see the Maine, I took a lot so here’s a couple

Hey guys,

hope you all had a good St Paddy’s day. I’ve not really been up to much apart from I had a couple of assignments due and I had a placement interview as well.

So I think I told you guys how I was sort of worried about this impending St Paddy’s day being held by downstairs flat. I didn’t really need to worry much because my ex flatmates didn’t end up coming and I met lots of nice people.
I looked really good that night, which I was stoked about because I was giving off the exact impression I wanted to give and it worked!!!
a little too well…..

this is what I looked like before I went out

I was sat on our windowsill in the kitchen (we have big bay windows) talking with my flatmates Alex and Mel and we were talking about the impending party and Dewi is walking outside and he was looking up at our window so Mel is like “omg he’s looking over” and I’m like “I’m not looking out” because I was trying to give the impression that I wasn’t a crazy stalker who stares out of our window.
Then me and mel take the bin out I offer to help because I know he’ll see me from his window so I’m all glammed up putting a pizza box in the bin and as I’m walking back towards the building he’s stood there and I looked up so he waved and I did a small wave *still in nonchalance mode* and he opens the window like “you coming up?” and i’m like “yeah maybe in a bit” I clearly was because I was dressed up to the nines but didn’t hurt to continue the nonchalance.

So I go to the party and me and my flatmate Alex are chilling like talking to people and Dewi’s like “Kat!!” so I turned to him and he grabs me into this MASSIVE hug, hugging me for ages like “oh my god I’ve not seen you for ages I’ve missed you, how are you?” So I’m like yeah….
so then he introduces me to his friends and then he’s like how are you and I made polite conversation like yeah I’m good you? and he explained that he’d been really busy and that “we’d never got to have our thing again” By that I think he was referring to hanging out again.

Anyway I’m mingling with people after that then a small group decided to play ring of fire and the rule for number 7 was seventh heaven which apparently meant we had to touch the ceiling? I’m 5″2 so its very difficult for me but I managed to do it by standing on the sofa then when I was getting down he put his arm around my waist like “aw you’re so small”

Later I was going somewhere, I cant remember if I was getting my shoes from upstairs or if I was going to the bathroom but as I was walking past him he’s like
“Kat, your ex is a dick, can I be your next boyfriend”
EXACT DIALOGUE!!!!.
WHAT EVEN!

So then a bunch of us went to a club afterwards and we’re at the bar and he grabs me and wraps my leg around his waist. There was a picture taken but it’s NSFW. I look naked it looks really bad!! and then he was like “damn kat if i wasnt taken” so then im like WTF!
He’d thrown me for a loop with this I was like wtf? when did this happen then?

So despite his admission of the above, he’s allllllll over me like a rash, not even kidding. He was proper dirty dancing with me proper getting down with me and there was this song came on
here where everyone was linking arms or whatever and so he proper kept grabbing me so he could dance with me grabbing me off other guys it was crazy!! And he twirled me round then dipped me like this

Then I kept stealing his guinness hat and he was like “good job you’re pretty”
and then there were some cutish guys in the club and there were about 10 of them hitting on me that night so im getting with a couple of cute guys bit of harmless fun, admittedly it was to make him jealous and it worked a little too well! The first guy he scared off by getting down on one knee in front of me i’m like wtf? he kept coming up to me grinding against me every time a guy was showing interest, then there was this cute guy and he grabbed my arm away from him like “are you ok?” i’m like “yeah he’s cute”

then at the end of the night when the club was closing I was walking towards him outside the club he was like “kat, my girlfriend” I’m like what even? . Anyway then he paid for me and him in the taxi home because I didn’t have enough money and we didn’t go to the cash machine.

then I saw my flatmate Matt so I walked back with him and then Matt went upstairs and I was following him to let him into our flat because his key doesn’t work properly so as I’m walking away like “see you later Dewi” he’s like “Kat! come here” so I walk back to his flat and he gives me another massive hug and then I went to my flat to let Matt in.

So basically he has a girlfriend back home (he told my flatmate this) but he was all over me like a rash and kept cock blocking me when other guys were trying it on which is really harsh!! it’s like if he can’t have me no one can which is not fair. At least I know he does like me. he’s still a prick though

ps here’s some pics, I’ve put his real name on here because whats the point when thats his face below.

Is it just me, or are pet names weird.

babe, hun, darling, dear, sweetie, I find them all a bit weird, especially when people I don’t know well call me them it makes me feel uneasy.

Uneasy like when you walk into a shop and the assistant asks you if you’re having a good day and you’re like um…yeah i guess. It’s like I came in to browse, maybe buy something and you asking me is totally throwing me off balance. Hollister is particularly good at that when they’re like “hi guys welcome to the pier” it’s so cringey I cringe for them.

But pet names are weird. I rarely call people pet names because I find it uncomfortable, yet people seem to insist on calling me by them.
Tom* for example, has started referring to me as Hun. When we watched a movie he also referred to me as dear and darling. This made me feel like I was married to him, which therefore made me feel uncomfortable and resulted in the awkward laugh. The last few texts he’s sent me he has repeatedly used the word “Hun” which is making me feel uncomfortable.

He’s been mega irritating of late and I’m so annoyed with him it’s untrue. I texted him on my birthday because I wanted to borrow his spare bed for when my friend came to stay on Thursday and I got no reply so I was pretty annoyed because it was a simple question. So Wednesday I texted him again
“just wanted to ask if I could borrow your spare bed for tomorrow but it doesnt matter now xx”.
I finally get a response from him at 9pm.
“Hey hun sorry I’ve been a bit out of it atm lol, your (sic) welcome to it when you need it. Venue tonight? happy belated birthday btw xx”
Well at least I got a happy birthday from him if it was a bit late. Also as you can see he invited me to Venue, which is a club, or last time I checked that ^^ implies that he’s inviting me to Venue?
So I text back and i was kind of excited about going to a club with him….and he doesn’t text back. What kind of person invites you out and then doesn’t tell you when, I wasn’t going to go into town on the off-chance he would already be there.

On the day of my birthday I saw him walking back to our building with his family and I knocked on the window and he was like “hi” and I was like “hey can i borrow your spare bed?” and he’s like “yeah i’ll bring it over later” and then we needed some moulds for our jelly shots so I went down to *Tom’s flat to borrow it.
He never brought the bed over instead I get a text.
“hey Kat, ring me when you get back and we’ll carry on the party! xx”
I didn’t know what exactly to make of this text, because I wasn’t sure what he meant by that, even if he didn’t mean that, it’s some pretty clear innuendo. I was really excited because I looked really nice at my party as well and then I got back at about 3:15am. I called him up but it rang out and went to voicemail so I text him then I rang him again about 10 mins later and then text him

He then texted me on Wednesday about a party so my friend decided to steal my phone last week as well and text him so I text him saying ignore my friend and he was like “ok hun xx”
And finally he decides to ring me last night, but I was in the cinema, so I waited till the film finished and text him like hey what’s up and he was like “sorry hun rang by accident xx”

I’m getting so tired of these games.
Anyway i have an assignment to finish so I’ll blog again in a few days

Haha I’m trying to blog more frequently, it’s gotta be a first in a while right?

I went for my interview last week down in Portsmouth, it was a long trip but the interview went ok. I didn’t get it unfortunately, but no matter I didn’t particularly have my heart set on the job, plus the placement was likely to be down south.

I went watching The Fighter last night which was good, it didn’t wow me, films rarely do but it was a good watch nonetheless.
It’s my birthday tomorrow, I’m finally turning 20!! I’m having my birthday party on Thursday which I’m excited about, I hope people turn up. I have invited *Tom and some of his flatmates, whether he’ll turn up is another story. I kind of hope he does to be honest especially as I’m going all out. If he doesn’t well, I’m done! My friend was telling me last night to text him to get myself “back on his radar” but I shouldn’t have to if he’s interested. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone so confusing, and I was previously crushing on a gay guy so you know, and nobody gets why I’m interested in him because he looks like a hobo (which I kind of agree with) and his flatmate *Josh is soooooooooooooo cute he’s so gorgeous and sweet and I just don’t feel anything for him. It’s like we sort of connected, we met and clicked you know. or maybe I’m so desperate now I hallucinated it all and he thinks I’m a weirdo.

Anyway hopefully it’ll be a good night and I’ll post some photos at the weekend.

I got some really cute clothes the other day. I don’t smoke, or do drugs or drink (that much) so my only vice is shopping. Anyway I saw this top on River Island’s website which I had my eye on, so I bought it for myself.
I also needed some new shoes (and contrary to popular belief I don’t buy shoes very often). So i finally found a really nice pair of shoes to go with my dress for my birthday and they were £40. I also got some flats which were £23 and as I paid for them the assistant was like £38 please and I’m like ummm ok? so then I showed her my student discount (no reason why I shouldn’t get more money off so I ended up paying £34 for two pairs of shoes, which I was really happy about.

Hey guys, I guess it’s been a while but it’s been a hectic month which I’ll try to explain in as short a blog as possible save you getting bored

So it’s my birthday on the 22nd of this month and I will be 20 eek :/ not looking forward to it, it means I’m no longer a teenager However I do have a few friends coming up and we’re gonna have a good celebration so it should be a really good night.

I’ve had a couple of assignments due this past month and I started my second semester which so far is average, it’s rather humdrum until you get a few weeks in. I had my network technologies exam a couple of weeks ago which I got 75% in which I was pleased about. It’s only worth 50% of the whole module but it’s still a decent mark. I also got my design assignment back, which I was disappointed with as I’d gotten low marks for but when I looked over it again I’d been awarded a late submission penalty when I actually handed it in before the deadline so I spoke to my tutor last week to say this and my mark got altered this week so it’s been boosted up to an A- and a C- which I’m quite pleased with, again this is only worth 50% so i’m hoping to pull up that C- in the next semester. We get the rest of our marks on the 16th Feb so I’m hoping I’ve done decent on them, I hope I’ve not failed anything haha!

Also I told you in my last blog how I’ve been looking around for placements and I’d applied to IBM, well I got past the second stage and I have an interview next week!! it’s in Portsmouth so it means I’m going to have to travel down the night before but I’m quite chuffed I’ve got this far. I’ve also applied to a few other places as well.

So to say the last month has been a little stressful is an understatement, I’ve been drowning in a sea of revision, assignments and CV’s.

Also my mother broke her foot! so I had to help look after her and the house with my dad for a few days, and since my dad can’t drive, I’ve been the designated driver.

I crashed my car! I skidded on the road my way back to uni and rear ended the central reservation. £500 worth of damage, including a split tyre, a bent wheel trim, a bent wheel and a smashed bumper. I’ve got this fixed and my car is all shiny and new I had to get taken home by the police and my car was left at the police station. It was cool, they were so nice to me, my car was driveable but they didn’t want me to drive in the state I was in as I was quite shaken!! I didn’t get injured I was just quite shocked by it all. There’s a lovely dent in the central reservation now if you’re ever passing Irlam O’ The Heights.

I guess the final thing to say really is that I’ve been having guy troubles, but of course if you follow my twitter then you’d know this as I tend to rant on about things haha!!
For those who are unaware quick recap for you all:
PS: his name isn’t guy, I’m just calling him guy for these purposes.

• Halloween- I meet the people who live below me, get on really well with guy, start to have crush on said guy
• December 4th- guy’s birthday he invites me round for drinks, I drink too much after getting the last king on ring of fire and end up downing a dirty pint and profess my feelings for him to his friends in a taxi and draw all over his calendar at his flat (he had gone home with a girl, and combined with the ingestion of too much alcohol causes above reaction) Guy is unaware of my feelings, or at least I hope he is
• January- he asks when I’m back at uni- I say when i’m back
• 4 days later- facebook chat conversation, asks me what movies I like then proceeds to invite me to watch a movie- I decline as I am at home but say I will when I’m back at uni
• 3 days later- I write on his wall to say I’m back, get no response, get annoyed and go to bed
• Next day- he replied at midnight, I casually say I’m working but I’ll pop by later, he says ok and gives me his number. I text him after work, he doesn’t reply, he comes on fb chat, i ask him if he got my text, he says no but takes my number and also arranges to watch a movie after and then text me to tell me when to go over. We watch 2 movies and an episode of dead set, hang out, have an amazing time
• 2 days later- he texts me and asks me to go over for drinks i decline as I’m at home as my mother’s just broke her foot!
• 1 week later he’s asking me what I’ve been up to and who I’ve been going out with, I suggest we do something next week he’s like ok
• 1st Feb- see him waiting for the bus, turns out we have the same timetable for tuesdays and fridays.
• 2nd Feb- but i text him again saying I’m bored and what was he doing later, he replies saying he might go to the pub so i text back but he doesn’t reply until midnight when I get a text saying “where are you spud? xx” what kind of nickname is spud?! I’m not a frickin potato
• 3rd Feb- I text back saying I went out last night but if he’s free later we can do something. I get no reply. See him when walking home from uni, says he’s busy this weekend but he’ll call me next week to arrange a movie night.
• 8th Feb- tells me we HAVE to have another movie night but he has no money??? Also asks me what I’m doing this weekend and if I’m going home? I tell him I don’t know, because I don’t

As you can see i’m getting mixed messages, he keeps telling me we have to hang out again but isn’t actually following through. Why keep mentioning it if you have no intention of following through?! surely if you don’t want to hang out with someone then you wouldn’t mention it and hope they forget rather than keep bringing it up!!!!. Also why is he always bothered about where I’m going and what I’m doing and who I’m with, there’s politeness and then there’s more than that.
PS: I’m giving up on him for now, or I’m trying.
