Miss Kayleigh O'Brien :)

Good evening/morning all! I hope we are all well.

I haven't written a blog for ages, so here I am, bored and looking at fetish underwear on ebay, and Kayleigh thought it would be nice for me to write a blog, solely about herself. I willingly obliged! ;)

Kayleigh is well cool. She has brown curly hair and brown eyes, and has recently turned 22. Here is her photo:

As you can see, she is very pretty. The bell she is holding says 'Ring for Sex' :) And lets face it, if she was the one responding to that bell, you would ring it ;)

Kayleigh is from Northamptonshire. She works in a care home when she is not at University with me :) (We do Primary Education woop woop!)

Kayleigh is a very good friend of mine. We talk about lots of things together and spend lots of time together, and now we live in the same house. We go on late night trips to ASDA and to boys houses. We insult each other, but also know that it doesn't mean anything. That is why were are good together. We are good.

Last year, in halls, Kayleigh and I would eat dinner together almost every night. Sausage pasta bake, eggy mess, quiche ... the possibilities were endless. This is when we decided to get married on Facebook. We would sit for hours on end discussing the most controversial topics, like religion and war and everything to do with education.

This isn't a very long blog, but it is a good blog.

I love Kayleigh. She is my wifey4lifey.

Love you babe.

Love and peace to all,

Eventful Times Ahead

Good afternoon all! I hope we are all well.

Today I wish to discuss a few things again. Today is my last full day as a fresher in halls. I've been packing for the last two days gradually, and I actually think I have generally everything packed. I know I have a few little things around that once I have everything else loaded up I will have to go around and collect to take home but for now I feel pretty ready to go. However, I am not actually going home - I am going to my Aunty's for a week, and am dogsitting at the weekend, which means I will not get home until next Tuesday, 1st June. Yes, JUNE! How is it almost June already?! Then once I get home I'm going straight up to Bronwen's on the Wednesday for a couple of days, and then we are off to our DoubleTake day in London on the Friday :D I've seen loads of people have these days and put the photos on Facebook, and however much I would like to do this, I have looked at the prices and there is nooo way that I could afford these, but it will be a really good experience. After this I am home for a couple of weeks, then back up to Leeds to see the house girls for next year and move the stuff I'm leaving here into the new house. We will probably go out on the 1st July, then I will go home on the 2nd July, spend 2 days at home, then I'm off to Ireland with Emma on the 5th July for a week ... I am non-stop until then really. But then I will be home properly for the summer and I can just do my thingg :)

Next off, saying goodbye. Kayleigh left us on Monday straight after our presentation, but I know I'll talk to her like every couple of days on the phone because she's clingy like that :P. It was weird only cooking for myself though! I went back with Leanne to Stoke/Alton Towers on Tuesday, and then came back to Leeds on Thursday. It was sad times leaving Leanne, but I know I'll see her again in about 6 weeks anyway when we move across to the house. I also said goodbye to Faye on Friday. This was somehow harder than saying bye to Leanne. I will miss them both the same, but Faye's more emotional I guess so saying bye was quite weird, although it was good that she was on the phone and we were in the middle of the pavement so we had no time to get upset or silly! Which was good. I'm seeing Sam in a bit but I won't be sad leaving him cause he's a loser. :)

Item number three - I have just applied for a job as an extra in "Adult Films". LOL. It's really well paid apparently and you can just be a background extra, a voyeur or get really into it with the 'popular porn stars'. HAHA. What an experience it would be!! My brother John is also really keen for me to get it, so he and his friend can pitch their ideas to a real producer lol. This could generally be a really good thing. Or it could be awful. But we'll hope it's brilliant lol. Fingers crossed for me guys! Haha.

Well I best be off,

Love and peace to all,

Anything to not do work!

Good afternoon all! I hope we are all well.

This afternoon I wish to discuss a few things again. The first of which is the weather. Today was, apparently, meant to be the hottest day of the year. Yet it is now cold and raining. Why can the Met office never get it right? They say it's meant to be sunny with clouds tomorrow, and I hope it is, because the kids at school don't burn off their excess energy when they have indoor play, and there are so many more problems when they don't go outside. I also hope that we haven't had the hot summer that's meant to follow a very cold winter already, because that would suck. I go home from uni on the 25th May but if it's a crappy summer I will be stuck inside, going insane, for the entire thing. Bring back the good old hot British Summer! I want ice cream on the pier!

The next is the ridiculous amount of work I have to do. I don't feel like it is that much, but then I remember something ELSE I have to do and then I start to panic. I thought I had finished my subject knowledge files, but my English one is looking too thin, even though it did take me a while to do. Not the alloted 30 hours of course, but it took me a fair amount of time. Ahhh why do we do this to ourselves?! Why don't we do work when it gets set?! I'll tell you why. Because we don't anticipate that we will have assignments in for every topic within a week of each other. I hate this!! I want to be enjoying my weekend away from school, not having to get up at half 6, but I'm here 'doing work' ... aka doing anything other than work! And realistically I only have one night this week to do work - Monday night Palace are playing West Brom on tv, so GOT to watch that, Wednesday-Friday I'm away with the children from my school on a residential [which I'm REALLY excited about!!], so Tuesday is the only night this week that I can realistically do any work. And I am going to the Palace match against Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday, so that is another day gone - however there is a bank holiday on the Monday so not too bad. Oh Oh Oh! I have just received a phonecall telling me that the emails asking for Maths and English subject knowledge files have been sent out soooo I have not received one, meaning I am most likely safe from the terrors of handing mine in! Oh the joys!

I'm so happy about that I'm going to go celebrate.

Love and peace,

kjxxx

It's been a while

Good evening all! I hope we are all well.

This evening I wish to discuss a few things.

First of all, I am proud to say I got sunburnt over my Easter holidays, at home, in Purley. It was 18 degrees centigrade apparently, and I did not anticipate that I would be in the sun ALL DAY. I was asked to work at my tennis club from half 9 until half 12, and that was fine, so there I went with my friend Emma from down the road in the car. The next thing I knew I was being asked to work all day, and due to my need for money I obviously agreed, not really appreciating that I didn't really have the time to go for lunch. But half 12 came, and after watching Dan attempt to change the tyre on his car I went home to grab some lunch, assuming John would be in to drive me back for half 1. I was wrong; he was not in. So I grabbed a banana sandwich and ran to get the bus back - thank God for Amy's oyster card! I managed to get back and was only 3 minutes late. At this point I realised I hadn't left my jumper at the tennis club, contrary to my earlier thoughts, so I text Emma asking if my jumper was in her car. It was not. Know where it was? In Dan's car. I was next to his car for 2 minutes and I managed to leave my jumper in it. Anyway, in my quick lunch break I hadn't managed to get any sun cream, so I burnt that afternoon. Which then threw my outfit for that night's trip to Tiger out the window! So I had to wear a sleeved dress. Boo! End of part 1.

Secondly, I will talk about a great night out I had over Easter. Lydia, Joe and I all started off going to Tesco and purchasing a lot of alcohol - around £35 worth? - including the biggest bottle of Vodka I have ever seen! :
It was 1.5 litres. Wowza I think is in order! We made a few jugs of Woo Woo, Sex on the Beach, Vodka, Schnapps and OJ then Lemonade and then some Vodka Jelly [which didn't set] lol. So you'd be right if you thought we would be rather drunk! Here is a photo of me DOWNING the jelly:
Courtesy of Luke! Not sure if that's what made me ill? Most probably was. Anyway, after all this downing, having my nails painted by Lewis, and random/weird photos being taken, we left to get the bus to tiger at the early hour of 8 pm. Those of us that got in were in by 9. Had 3 glasses of Champagne and was home by 1.45. Good times! Until I was horrendously ill. But that is all part of a good night out!

Thirdly [and finally] I wish to talk about appreciation. When I was 4, I visited Malaysia for the first time. As far as I remember, I loved it. Then, when I was 11, my Dad moved there for 3 years. I visited him 5 times [free flights each time lol] and I loved it each and every time. And obviously, it was a family holiday. I have also been to Thailand, Singapore, Borneo, USA [many parts of it] France, Spain, Lanzarote, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy. I loved every one of them. I love travelling, I would do it for my entire life if I could. I know other people who are also well travelled, who go skiing every year, go on great holidays every year, yet it isn't appreciated by the 14 year old. She cried the whole night before and morning that they were leaving, and wrote it all over Facebook that she didn't want to go. Okay then, you don't go, I will go in your place. ANYONE would happily go in her place. Silly girl.

Anyway, that's me done - only taken me about 2 hours to write this!

Love and peace to all,

Home.

Good evening all, I hope we are all well!

Tonight I wish to discuss the concept of "home". This is because I am going home, to Purley, in two days time. This time in two days I will be at home - this is a very exciting thing for me. Because you see I have not been home since the 9th January - so this weekend would have been 11 weeks since I have seen my house, my friends, and my Dad (I saw my Mum 9 weeks ago, and John a month ago). This is a really scary thought.

When I was starting year 7, my Dad moved to Malaysia with his work. While this was great as we got free flights to go and see him, so in essence free holidays, we obviously missed him greatly. We as a family have always had an emotional attachment to Malaysia from a holiday in 1996, so any chance to go back there was willingly jumped at. We have so many great memories there, from riding elephants to snorkeling in the shallows of tiny islands to seeing orang-utans up close in their sanctuary. Anyway, I will now relate this to "home". In an exam once, I think it was in year 9 or 10, I was asked to describe my home. I took around 5 minutes to decide whether I was going to describe my home in Purley, or describe my Dad's flat in Malaysia, and roughly describe the country. So I decided to do both, which was a nice idea but in the end, a bad choice, as I ran out of time! But as I wrote my "essay", I realised how much I really missed Malaysia, so I knew I could have written the whole thing on home being in Malaysia. But although I think this, I know I'd've missed my "other home" in Purley. Confusion, confusion.

Next, saying "I'm going home." I often used to use this term when talking to Lydia when we were going back to her house. I suppose her house was a home from home for me so it is understandable, but I have recently found that I refer to the place I am staying that day/night as "home" - for instance, Mum came to visit me in Leeds and we stayed in a hotel for the night and when we were at the pub having tea, I said something about going "home", and Mum knew what I meant because she does the same, but that's when I really realised that I do it. But I think this just indicates that I feel comfortable wherever I call "home."

Having said all this, I know there is only one home for me, and that is in Purley. I LOVE my house, I love my garden, I love my road, I love the area, for me, it is everything that "home" should be. I don't know how I'm going to establish myself in a home that isn't in Purley, but I will try my hardest! And you know what they say, you don't know what the future holds. You never know I may settle down really easily!

Love and peace to all,

Notes

Good afternoon all! I hope we are all well.

Today I wish to discuss notes. As in, the type of note you pass in a lesson/lecture, or write a conversation on a piece of paper with the person next to you. My friend Leanne Bailey and I often have written conversations during a lecture.

I remember passing my first note when I was in year 8, telling my friend to duck her head because I couldn't see. So that wasn't really inkeeping with the whole rebellious nature of sending a note, but it was a note all the same. Slowly they progressed to being about boys and bitching about other girls [a popular subject!]

A personal favourite of mine, I must admit, was getting a piece of A4 paper and writing an entire conversation on it, many of which I still have at home somewhere. Leanne and I had a really funny doodling session/written conversation the other day in a lecture on diversity in teaching. It involved temptation, racism, fruit and hate crime! Really funny actually. It is currently on my wall. I also found a conversation written by what looks like two boys:
I thought we had something ;)
Naa mate! Sorry
You looked in my eyes and said that our song is 'I will always LOVE you'!
Our song is FOREVER IS OVER!
Did not say that when we SPOONED

I laughed SO much when I read this, and it is also on my wall.

Not a very long blog but it covers all I want to say - I LOVE notes!

Love and peace to all,

kjxxx

"Keep Holding On"

Good evening all! I hope we are all well.

Tonight I just wish to post the lyrics to a song. I dedicate the words to a really specialy person in my life xx

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend,
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah!

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Keep holding on...
Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through.


I just had to post these lyrics. I love you sweetheart xx

Webcams

Good evening all! I hope we are all well.
Tonight I am going to be discussing the fantastic invention that is the webcam. We all use them, and I personally find them brilliant. I first heard of a webcam when I signed up for an MSN account in about 2004, at the young age of 13. I didn't myself have one, but I really wanted one. My friends had them, and when I went to my best friend's house for sleepovers I didn't want to watch films and chat, I wanted to go on MSN and use her webcam. When I finally had had enough of not having webcam, I realised I could change the connection settings on the family digital camera to make it into a webcam - screw it into a tripod and Bob's your uncle, a fully working webcam. Although what I used it for most was when friends came round and we took photos on it - so I should have just used the camera for that really. Although I got some really funny photos on it > this one for example! We don't really remember what actually happened in this photograph, just good click timing from Amy Osland we think!

However funny that photo may be, nothing will ever top the might night Lydia Fernandes and I had. I can only find one photo from that night, I had to venture onto my unused bebo page to get it, but here it is, in all its glory: How beautiful is that! We had drawn on each other with eyeliner, shoved on some kind of bobbley ears and pretended to kiss. The joys of being 15! But the photos did not stop there, ohh no. We took about 150 photos on webcam that night, just completely messing around. Being 15 year olds! And as time went on, we grew older, but not more mature. The photos kept on coming, and we kept on being sillier and sillier. But then one day, a digital camera was introduced, and the webcam seemingly forgotten ...

I love webcams. I love going on webcam with my brother and seeing my cat and mum at the same time. I love how our computer at home is rather old so John needs to wear a headset to talk to me and hear me, and the webcam is so poor that I can hardly see him anyway. But I just LOVE webcams!

And even though the age of taking photos on webcam seems to have passed, Emma Jones and I took around 200 webcam photos in September before we came to uni, and every single one was Facebook worthy. You can just totally mess around on webcam and it's just expected - no-one judges you, you can pull any kind of face and its fine, because it's webcam. Here is one of my favourite photos of Emma and I from that day:
I just LOVE it.

I have recently rediscovered my webcam. And when I say recently, I mean in the last 2 days. And in the last 2 days, after rediscovering my webcam, I have taken 44 photos on it, one of which is in yesterday's blog (Laughter). All of me. See, that's another thing about webcams. They allow you to be totally vain. I may never publish those photos to the internet, but I like them and I will show all my friends when they come over. It also helps that I have a crystal eye webcam which is pretty much airbrushing my skin whenever it looks at me. I generally like this, but the only problem is that I have some little freckles on my cheeks and nose that I quite like and these aren't on the webcam, sad times. But overall, j'aime les photographs.

I suppose I've got to put a downer on this at some point. Some people abuse the webcam, by being naked on it, or using it in a seductive way. I think webcams are friendly things, and although I know the majority use it for more than just friendly stuff, it is clear that people abuse the original use the webcam had. This is sad times, but only to be expected.

Well I'm off now.

Love and peace to all,

Laughter

Good evening all! I hope we are all well.

Tonight I am going to talk about laughter. The incredible drug that is laughter.
I was previously writing a blog about the recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti but I've had too light an evening to post about such a serious topic, I would not do it justice.

First off, what makes you laugh? I know what/who makes me laugh. A lot of people make me laugh, but there are some people that there is no doubt that you will laugh when you talk to them. One of these is James Fleury. Tonight, he has told me one of the funniest stories I think I've heard for a while - he was drunk with his friends Mike and Niall on Niall's treadmill last night before heading to tigertiger Croydon, when he fell over at the back of the treadmill and kept hitting himself as the treadmill obviously carried on; took out Mike on his way down, who in turn pushed Niall off the side of the treadmill into the computer. James then went on to describe this as 'bad times.' but on the contrary, I think this is brilliant times! I often laugh at others hilarious misfortune.
Let me tell you a little about James Fleury. He came to a house party of mine last May and got so drunk he threw up Paella in my garden and was put to bed with a sick bucket at about 11.30? He is also obsessed with music and often sends me and others links to YouTube videos of great performances of songs we like. My nicest photo of the night is almost always with him for some reason.
Another thing James did tonight to make me laugh was that I said something regarding seeing someone being worth the hassle, but it was quite funny, and he says 'lmao! i do miss you katy jones. and the funniest part is that i can actually hear you saying that in my head!'. I laughed so much, just because I know exactly what he's on about. Possibly a had-to-be-there moment. So anyway, that's James.
Next up is Miss Kayleigh O'Brien. We laugh so much when together, remembering such situations as 'finish yourself off!', 'I don't do crying people!' and the shalabalaelaleidngaknfdjn song ... she'll know what I mean! Although it's bad at times when we're trying to have a serious conversation but one of us just sits and laughs [especially when the song comes on in the bar], it does bring light to any situation, and for that, I thank you Miss O'Brien! As we often say, 'if you didn't laugh you'd cry!', and I for one know I'd rather laugh than cry with you. :)
There are loads more people who make me laugh but reflecting on the last day I had to write something about those two.

Now things that make me laugh:
http://www.wikihow.com/Kiss < I discovered this today when I was thinking about the different types of kiss and what I personally prefer [we may discuss this at a later date!] and thought I'd see how wikihow tells us to do it.

Funny films - Step Brothers, Anchorman, 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad.

Funny programmes - Family Guy, The Simpsons, Friends, Scrubs.

Random events - Seeing a Ferrari motorised scooter, buying a light saber for a 19 yr old's birthday - setting this same light saber off on the bus, drawing massive penises all over Tara Mani Lundie's Physics notepad with Joe Royle, etcetc.

Hope this has given you an insight into what makes me laugh! I've had such a good evening, just have a look at this >>
That's how I've felt all evening!

Great day :D

Hello World

I doubt many people will read this blog but for those who do, welcome to a snippet of my world! I have recently been inspired by my journalist friend's blog that she has to do for her course as a record of her reviews and thoughts etc. She is constantly keeping me updated with what's going on in everything! So although what I will blog about will not be particularly interesting, I feel I need to do something!
Well I'm going to start by saying a bit about myself. I am 5"1 with brown hair, bluey eyes and some freckles dotted about my person. I enjoy being short as it means almost any guy I meet will be taller than me - always a good thing. I attend Leeds Met Uni and am doing Primary Ed - 4 years and I will be a teacher at the end :) Bien! Home is in Croydon, South London, with my mum, brother John and cat Paws. I miss them dearly, especially Paws.
When at home, I work at my local tennis club/surrounding schools teaching children tennis. I love it so much, I really do. And the people aren't half bad either :)
Enough about me. On here, I plan to write my views about such hot topics as earthquakes (is there a God?), music (the current chart) and Crystal Palace FC (the love of my life).
If I'm feeling particularly thoughtful/argumentative one day I might crack out some more controversial views of mine.

Love and peace to all,

kjxx
