Paramore were AMAZING :-)

seriously! they were the best live band I have EVER seen... was screaming and jumping up and down the whole night with Hannah! woooot.

we got back at like 2am coz we had to drive back from dublin.. crashed in the car.. then conked out as soon as we got back to my house!

but really if you like paramore & get the chance to see them, GO.

that is all.

Good evening.

My name is Kate and I am writing to inform you of a movie I recommend you see. It is called 'New Moon' and is the second part of the very successful 'Twilight Saga'.

OMG IT WAS EFFING AMAZING!!!!!!!

I saw it on it's release date on Friday with Hannah (RealFlan) at 11.45am. I never thought I would care so much about a movie to go and see one that early.

Obviously because I am a total Twilight fangal and COMPLETELY obsessed I would write about it saying it was fantastic, but it really really was. I know people who don't like Twilight, saw New Moon and suddenly like it.

It was actually a really enjoyable movie, well directed, excellent music + songs at the perfect places, fantastic acting... seriously full package. It was funny as well. And it was really good to see them smile.. because Twilight doesn't have many of those! I loved the whole earthy brown and gold colours of New Moon compared to the blues of Twilight. They were very clever with attracting the non-fans!

In fact it was so good Hannah and myself came out of the cinema, walked around town for a bit (utterly speechless), then ran back in and bought tickets for the next showing.

watch it! even if it's just to see sexy Taylor and Rob!! ;-)

guess who's birthday is tomorrow?

me =]

my friend and I stayed up until midnight to book our tickets for new moon last night! she was going to do it and I'd be texting here excitedly until 00.00 but then her neighbour offered to do it (I don't know why & she doesn't either!). HOWEVER at midnight the showings didn't start until the Sunday after the Friday the movie officially opens.

We got tickets anyway though :P then this morning we checked the Odeon site again and, hallelujah, there were several showings on Friday 20th of November. I booked front row seats for 11.45am really quickly for both of us without really telling her.. so we had TWO pairs of tickets. My friend's mum cancelled the order, and my friend kind of feels bad now because her neighbour was going to give them to her niece, but it's OK now (I think). :P

Anyway, we're going to ---NEW MOON!--- Opening day, front row, 11.45am. There was actually a showing at 00.01 that Friday but I thought we might sort of fall asleep...

Fortuneately we're off school that Friday as well :)

xoxoxoxox

your almost birthday girl!, Kate

hi :)

my birthday in eight days! I'll be fourteen soon.. no longer a 'first year' at the whole teenage thing.. ;)

I'm going to have a small party with me and my four bezzies - we can order a pizza and eat lots of ben & jerry's and play truth or dare in our PJs - can't wait!

I kinda went off the idea of a big party after I realised how much it would cost.. venue, decorations, dj etc. Soo I think I'll save that for sweet sixteen ;)

I'll post a list of presents I expect you all to get me and email you my address. :L

(just kidding)

byeeee! xxx

hey guys!

haven't blogged in a while - sozzies :(

it's STILL on my list to post a video for YouTube channel chicklitchicks2. Check it out.. it's A to the MAZIN'! never said that before but there you go.

Soo I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my friends Bria and Roisin, both their 14th bdays were on 4th of August :) Bria's party was SO fun, we saw the Proposal which was better than I thought it would be, it was cute ;) and stayed up ALL NIGHT LONG. Seriously. I was sooo tired the next day. When we were getting ready for the day I fell asleep randomly (it was about 9am) on the pull out bed thing for about 15mins, but I was really out because I woke up with eyeliner all over my face! & apparently one of the girls said 'we should throw water over her' but instead the just sort of wet their hands and patted my face. I had no idea this was happening.

We hung around in the park and I fell asleep AGAIN. These little naps were only like 10-20 minutes long but I was in a REALLY deep sleep... they could have dragged me to the other side of the park so when I woke up they were gone.

That's what I would do.

It's lucky I don't snore, eh?

hope you're all having a good summer!

xxx

hellooo :)

I FINALLY saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince yesterday, and I thought it was pretty good - although the book's better. Obvs.

I remember starting to read Harry Potter in P2 when I was 6, and I was understanding it and everything. Go me!! Hahaha. I am an 'avid reader'. Anyhow. I haven't read the books since 2 years ago when the 7th book came out and I read 1-6 in like 2 weeks so I could refresh my memory ;)

I didn't really remember too much of the book which was actually pretty good coz it means I could really focus on the movie as a movie and not compare too much. Although I did notice they left a few things out.

I give it 3/5 stars. It was good and funny but it was pretty long and kind of confusing unless you've read all of the books.

BUT I was sitting beside my friend who you should never see a movie you really care about seeing with!! ;) If you know her and have been to the cinema with her you know what I mean!! She started talking about Amy Winehouse halfway through.

ELLA: 'Doesn't she look like Amy Winehouse?'
ME: 'Yeah. OK, be quiet.'
ELLA: 'She does though.'
ME: 'Did you hear she assaulted one of her dancers?'
ELLA: 'Yeah! And she's got a court case and everything.'
ME: 'Tried to make me go to rehab and I said..'
BOTH: '..no, no, no!'

It's worth seeing though because Daniel Radcliffe is h-o-t :)

omygosh!!!

SUMMER!!! IT'S SUMMER!! WOOOOO!!!

There's something about summer that is so.. I dunno. It just makes people happy. Doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing. Even the word sounds happy! :)

Too bad it's a bit cloudy today! haha! That's Ireland for you! The sun is peeking out through the grey though so hopefully it'll turn out to be a nice day.

Yesterday school ended around 12-ish (I don't use a watch. I live in the moment ;P) and me and the crew (lol) went to the park and messed around, then went to LaserQuest - which seems to be turning into our thing, us nerds! - I came 3rd again! Then got ice-cream and chips, eaten in that order, and 2 big cartons of apple juice for 80p each :)

It was a gorgeous day and we were all exhausted from tramping around everywhere so much!

In the half day of school we had yesterday we watched the end of 'Life is Beautiful' or 'La (something) Bella'. It's Italian and it's SOO good. I don't mind subtitles so I loved it. Seriously. It you haven't seen it rent it now!! It's about the WWII - and I know you're thinking, oh no, not another war movie, but it's about this guy who's Jewish so he and his son have to go to a worker camp. His wife isn't Jewish but pretends to be so she can be with her husband and son. So the guy tries to turn it into a game for his 6 year old son, saying that they have to get points through doing things and the prize is a tank. It's really funny and sad and amazing.

And some people started throwing Haribos (alight, I started it!) and someone chucked one RIGHT IN MY EYE. RIGHT IN THE SOCKET. And it hit me really hard too! My eye sort of closed automatically and I was screaming 'I've been blinded!!' so my friend lent me her sunnies to wear coz my eye was all bloodshot and looked like I'd been crying in one eye, or I had hayever and someone put an eyepatch over my left eye but shoved grass in the right. You get the picture.

Anyway, if anyone asked me why I was wearing sunglasses inside, I told them sorry, I had been partially blinded by a Haribo and need them on for medical reasons.

It is still really sore actually! It's painful looking at my computer screen. See the sacrifices I make for you people??! LOL

I'm so looking forward to the summer. Have a lovely day :)

Bonjour, mon petite bloggers

Soooo. SUMMER!! Aaaah!! Can't wait!! Summer is just perfection for me. No school, no stress, just chilling out, having fun... aaah. Bliss.

Then again, summer flies by and then into year 10! Weird. I can't believe how fast this school year has gone. I've been in big school for two years now!

Fab news! I've joined the Sara and Sasha's YouTube channel called chicklitchicks2 and I've discovered about 10mins ago that a couple of other blogger gals are in on it too! How exciting!!!! Yaaay!!

I'll upload a vid whenever. Back to the topic of summer!

I'm not going anywhere coz we went to Spain in April over Easter hols. Well, I'm going somewhere down south but I can't really remember where. And probs to our house in Donegal too.

I really don't mind not going anywhere abroad coz I'm really not one of those people who thinks to have a real summer they have to travel all over the place. This is still gonna be the best summer ever.. cheesy I know! But I'm determined to make every single day really fun!!

And yes I KNOW I used the word 'really' three times in that last paragraph. Shut up. It's my blog.

Friday is LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! and LAST DAY OF YEAR 9!! Yesssss!!!

Our form tutor is all no talk and no action, he promised us a class trip bowling and pizza hut and movie but obviously was too busy teaching science and singing 'I get by with a little help with my friends' to organise it. And I'm not kidding about that song. He plays the guitar and thinks he's amazing. He tried to make us sing a song for an assembly.. luckily we didn't do it but it was still embarrassing watching him sing. I've never thought of him in the same way again.

Anyhow.. back to the topic!! The whole class is just going out without the teachers and we're going to the park and just getting subway and ice-cream and messing around. I think some of us are going to LaserQuest in the Ozone in the park.. It should be really fun with everyone there :)

Au revoir.. kate xxxxxx

helloo bloggers and bloggees

I had a really fun weekend :) today I'm just chilling in my jammies!!

FRIDAY - one of my bezzie's bday party
-laserquest (I came 3rd out of all of us and these dudes we played against. they were like 17)
-went back to hers and we all got dressed up
-went out to nandos
-slept over at hers

:D

SATURDAY - another of my bezzie's bday party. the previous bday girl is part of our group too so it was like a big extended party! :)
- got breakfast
-got ready
-picked up by 2nd girl's mum
-bowling (2nd :D)
-pizza hut
-W5 (lol!! it's not just for kids!! ok??!!)

It was a really fun weekend :) AT W5 my two friends and I were watching this demo of this guy doing experiments with stuff like baking soda & vinegar etc. We were a bit hyper so I put my hand up to be a volunteer with two other little seven year olds or something!! lol!! We were making these rocket things in little camera film capsules and mine SOO went the highest!! I was so proud (lol)

hope you all had a nice weekend!

four and a half days of school!

don't forget - demi lovato

YESSSS x100!!! YAAAAAAY!! x1000 wooHOOO!! x10000

exams have finished!!! It was a long week (to answer a few comments on the last post, yup they last a week).

One or two were really hard, most were fine and a couple were easy ;)
I'll post my results whenever I get them.

Sara Leslie said that they don't do exams til standard grade? Whatever that is. Yeah, we do GCSES. In my school we have winter and summer exams every year, just to see how you're getting on etc. Obviously not as important as GCSEs, AS and A2, but they help show you what you're good at, what you're not so good at, what you like, what you don't, so they help you pick the subjects you want to do.

I'm so happy they're done! :) I feel like I haven't posted in ages, even though it's only been five days.

Quite a few things happened over those five days..

- my fish died (but it's OK, coz I actually have no idea what it's name was!! seriously!! I've been trying to remember for like 3 days!!)

- I hit my head, because there was a s-p-i-d-e-r on the shower curtain and I started screaming (as you do) and slipped when I jumpered out of the shower..hehehe.

- I went into town with my friends to get birthday prezzies for two people in my group after we got out of school yesterday. It's kind of awkward - two of them have their birthdays really close together - 1st of May and 7th of May - and the other two 10th of June and 16th of June. And then my birthday is waaay out on the 19th October. Hahahahahah. We're hoping Miss 10th June has a sense of humour because we got her 6 bottles of shampoo and conditioner, san pads, packet of tissues, like 11 bars of chocolate..!! We were a bit hyper after the euphoria of finishing tests, you know. We did get her good stuff though! A t-shirt, a really pretty bag, nice bath stuff, hairbands etc.

- I perfected my autograph.

It's good to have a social life again. Even if it only involves one, lonesome fish.

Heya

Haven't written in a week or, so, I know! Sorry! Busy weekend!

Like I said last post (I think) this weekend I had 2 birthday parties.

On Friday I went over to my friend's at 8 for a sleepover (woo!) Including me and the bday girl, there were six adolescent or weeks-away-from-adolescence hyper girls high on chocolate and diet coke.

Doesn't get much better than that.

Normal sleepover stuff, movie watching (yes man & the break-up), giggling at 3am, munchies, chatting about rubbish. PJ fashion shoot too - lol.

I didn't get to sleep 'til 5 AM!!! Which explains the purple eyes title...

Next day we ate pancake brekkie, went to the park and came back for a barbeque with a few other of her friends. Quorn meat for me, obvs.

Yesterday (sunday) was another 13th. Went to see Hannah Montana movie (lol. my friend is OBSESSED! it was all right though :P). Sleepover with the same peeps, more of a chilled sleepover, which I was thankful for!, we watched clueless and pretty woman, and did each-others hair and read mags and chatted.

lotsa fun ;)

happy bank holiday monday!

xoxo

Heylo ;)

Good news - passed my grade 4 violin! Just made it by the skin of my teeth, I got 100 and that's the minimum pass score!

Just I predicted. Look back through my posts and it says that I think I'll just pass... freaky..!

After orchestra this morning (dull) I went into town with my friends. It's our friend's bday on sunday, so me and the gang/posse/group/whatever, each brought in £10 and put it all together to get her loadsa stuff. We bought her a big oversized handbag and filled it with make-up, jewellery, hair stuff, clothes etc. Then when one of our gang/posse/group/whatever left to go to a piano lesson, we went and did the same for her 'coz it's her bday this friday.

woop woop! so good day.

and next weekend is birthday party weekend! Lucky it's may day this monday!

lots of looove

kate xo xo

Sooo my sleepover was lots and lots of fun :)

Thanks for all the tips... (ahem)

We listened to music and gossiped and did eachothers nails and put on face-masks and wrote a musical. It's called 'Inanimate Objects - The Musical'. It's pretty good. lol. we were just lying around and then the word 'lamp-post' came into my head and I started making up a song about it. Then I made up one about a post-box etc. So random. 

The next day we went into town (got a long stripy cardigan for £7 in new look - half price, woop! and some hairbands from claire's). We were in Debenhams looking at the make-up, and we were looking at some powders from a range called 'benefit' and one of make-up artists asked if we wanted to try them out. On me she used a primer thing (which is amazing) and the new powder in the lightest colour (I have v.pale skin) and something else. Anyhow it looked really good, if I say so myself. And although the benefit range is pretty expensive I love it.

benefit cosmetics

And the final thing I wanted to say is.... TWILIGHT 2 DISC SPECIAL EDITION ARRIVED FROM AMAZON YESTERDAY!!!! AAAAAH!!!!!

Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh I love Twilight. 

I pre-ordered it from amazon about a month and a half before the UK release date on monday. lol! I watched it today and most of the special features too!! yaaay!!!!

Can't wait for New Moon. It comes out in November - that may be in the US though. Anyhow end of the year. 

lots of love

Morning!

Sunday the 15th here - 11.39am

Happy Valentine's Day - for yesterday :P

I don't have a boyfriend or anything (woop! single ladies!) but I still like V-Day.

I made buns with Love Heart sweets on them xD. Yumm.

Then had a sleepover with one of my bezzies. We chilled and watched movies and nattered away all night! What's more fun?

On Friday (the 13th..freakaay) I went shopping - WOO! And I spent £70 on a pair of jeans and trainers!! Splashed out!! OK, so it may not be all that expensive to some of you, but I'm only 13 for flips sake. And I've had that money since October - it had to be spent.  Babycham trainers - £30 - Schuh.

Cool aren't they? Lol!

I can't find a pic of the jeans - but they are dark, skinny, with some gold detail, £40 from River Island.

Did anyone see Miley Cyrus on Saturday Night Takeaway last night? She was singing Fly On the Wall and forgot a big chunk of lyrics out of the second verse! That would be so embarrasing. And then when she was done she was smiling and waving etc but she thought the camera was off her and mouthed 'I forgot the words!' to someone beside her. Awwk. But lol.

Hope you had a nice weekend! No school tomorrow - yess!

I am listening too... The Fear by Lily Allen.

xoxo

Kate

No school! Staff day! Excellent!!

I'm sitting at the computer, sipping orange juice, 11.11 am.. listening to The Cure - Friday I'm in Love. I love this song, I felt a bit out-of-the-blue nostalgic for it, but I forgot what it is called, so I was typing 'monday tuesday wednesday' etc. into YouTube! It worked!!

Guess what came in the post for me four minutes ago... Georgia Nicolson's Fabbity Fab Journal (for jotting down your own secret confessions) and a CD/DVD marker that writes on just about anything. It's so cool. I won them from SwapitShop - you should go on it! I've won so much cool stuff from it!

Hmm, my weekend. I know you're all just dying to hear about my fun-filled life, haha! Well Open Day on Saturday was alright, a bit boring... I was making prints and working on my clay model thing. I fell out a bit with two of my friends because I 'ditched' them to do clay when the teacher asked me. It was so stupid, then they said they weren't going to come to the cinema on Sunday... immature, I know!! 

After that, headed into town with another friend, went to her ballet (they were so good) and then saw Beverly Hills Chihuahua. I know it's a kiddy movie but there was nothing else on that we hadn't already seen. It was OK! ;)

Sunday, went to see Twilight again (major movie weekend, hehe). Yes, the two friends from Open Day showed up! They are my bezzies though, so I forgive them. I suppose. My other two bezzies came too. One of them is reading Twilight and we both LOVE it and the movie. One of them basically laughed all the way through the movie - I was, like, so annoyed! Both of us were. 

[sorry it's getting so confusing, me saying 'one of them' and 'the other two' etc. I just don't really want to use any names, lol!] 

You know, 'cause they wanted to see it. I'd already seen it before. I just went because I wanted to spend time with them.. and then when I asked one what they'd thought she said 'It was OK.'

It was OK? Alright, that's her opinion, but there are about five million people in the world who disagree with you, honey! I'm sort of starting to see them in a new light. Or a new dark, rather. No, I still love them.

I'm listening to The River Flows in You now by Yiruma. I'm really not a classical music type of girl, but this is so beautiful. It isn't the official 'Bella's Lullaby', but I still love it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Is this blog getting too personal? These aren't necessarily rhetorical questions.. Maybe I should keep the friends etc problems to my diary and me, just in case lots of people from school read this and it turns into a fall out. But this blog is so theraputic! <>

Anyhow. I'm glad I got all this stuff off my chest!!
