the happy little world of miss ktp!

just got back from an ace time in oxford! got the train on tuesday from nuneaton to milton keynes then a bus from milton keynes to oxford. it wasnt too bad and it was nice looking outside cos it had been snowing and everywhere was white (thankfully it wasnt the wrong kind of snow and so the trains hadnt been cancelled!) one bit of advice though, when youre travelling on a train dont listen to a ricky gervais podcast cos if like me, you find him really funny youll get really odd looks from everyone around you when you hear something funny and you laugh out loud then try to turn it into a cough!!!! i dont think it worked!! i arrived ready for rfas celebrations to start. we played some racing demon with his parents while we waited for people to arrive, it was a really good card game, and actually didnt take me that long to pick up for once!! eventually people started to arrive, there were loads of people and i wont remember everyone so im not going to try!! we hung around at rfas for quit...

well i now have proof that santa really does exist! i asked for a pony in my stocking thinking that id really baffle him, but lo and behold i looked right to the bottom of my sack yesterday morning and there was one in there! (ok its pink with purple hair and i cant exactly ride it but..........) ITS STILL A PONY!! woohoo! hehe. kids all over the world were right and the adults were wrong! so its up to you, do u believe or not even though the evidence is right infront of you now?! hehe ill leave ya thinking about that one while i go and watch roger rabbit (another documentary about real life!) xxxx

well i cant believe its christmas eve! really doesnt feel like it. no more sleeps still santa now, he'll be here tonight! :-D im still not that excited about it which is a bit of a shame, makes me realise im growing up! argh!! went out last night and 'did' hinckley. it was a wicked night cos i got to see woodlands crew and some of my old mates from high school i knew when i was about 12. we started off in the baron and it was packed, as was everywhere else! the whole of hinckley was out i think! our next stop was the union and then baracuda that had just opened. WOODLANDS GIRLIES! SJ, ME, MICHELLE, MARIA our last stop of the night was flares! as usual! it was packed when we arrived but it quitened down by about 1:30am. its quite cool now cos the late night licence laws, u can stay in the pubs for longer, so can go to the clubs even later and it makes the night go quicker. reading that back i dont think it makes sense but it did in my head!! :-P MICHELLE, ME AND A PO...

well im back home now to find that barwell isnt quite the same as it was when i left it in september, its turned wild! weve got a rat and a parrot, yes a parrot in our garden!! its crazy! the rat, we're trying to get rid of as i type and the parrot we keep feeding on the bird table! its well pretty, red, green and yellow and sits there for ages! weve had our un-chirstmas day today and santa came a bit early too! aunty beryl goes home tomorrow so we had a practise chrimbo day with her. i cant believe its almost christmas, it really doesnt feel like it is, im not excited about it this year, must be getting old!! saw scary-may today, not seen her since before i went to india two junes ago. it was so nice to catch up again over a sausage cob! we had so much to tell each other. shes been in germany as a dancer and singer in the german version of we will rock you, the queen musical. shes got about 3months left now before she has to find a new job. oh and by the way, incase...

finally its the last day of term! chrimbo hols here i come! although ill be doing my dissertation for most of it! boo! ive had my really good pressie already this year, a job offer! :-D its with zodiac in london starting in July. im so happy and its perfect cos ill be doing lots of different jobs and will get to travel as well, hopefully to india mainly! yaya! i found out on wed when i went to london and met up about it. it still doesnt really feel like its happeneing and i dead chuffed about it! yaya! thats about it for now. im going home tomorrow so yay! home cooked food! hehe xx

just a quickie today. went with rfa and matt-ay to see Narnia last saturdy and it was ace! stuck to the book and tv series really well and was a well spent 3hours. only trouble was the special effects weren't quite what they could have been, some of the blue screens were soo obvious! it was a bit of a shame but didnt ruin the film at all! i was a bit hesitant to see this lastest re-make cos of willy wonka earlier this year (crap!!) but i think with this film i can enjoy both the film and bbc series from when i was little (its out on dvd now dontcha know!! its well good!) im just typing this before i go to uni, got a presentation on my work today-eeek! im not as well prepared for it as i could have been but im sure itll be fine! :-S wish me luck! oh one more thing, every monday ricky gervais is doing a podcast for the guardian. its soo funny, you can download it from here if anyones interested: http://www.guardian.co.uk/rickygervais right well thats it for now, better get go...

last tuesday there was a playboy mansion night at the union. all the textile girlies went cos it was a chance for us all to fundraise for our degree show (still need about £7,000 i think, eeek!). we helped to design the set for each 'room' and also sold food, did games and face painting. it was a really fun night and eventhough it was a tuesday night, so not very busy, there was just enough people there to make it fun! ME AS A PLAYBOY BUNNY! ME, RFA AND HIS GROOVY SHIRT! PAUL, BECCA, EMHEN, DAMITH, ME, MARK, KAI i also got to meet up with quite a few people that i hadnt seen for ages, especially mark, so it was nice to catch up a bit, dont think many people recognised me at first! it was quite funny cos i dont usually make that much of an effort when i go out! EMHEN, ME AND NAT NAT not sure how much money we made yet, dont think it was very much but it was nice to have a textile social where everyone got together. on the wednesday em, nat and i went to the clotheshow a...

found this over the weekend, as if i need any more distractions from doing uni work! its a publicity poster from virgin records. there are loads of bands in this image and you have to try to name them all. good luck! let me know how you get on! ive managed to find 65 so far. just remember to say what you see garath!! :-P and no rfa - rifles and flowers is not one and neither is white lines! chuh! xx
