the happy little world of miss ktp!

Well it's officially Christmas! :D The Coca Cola advert came on today with the trucks driving along. I was so gutted last year when they only had the trucks in the background and now they're back! yay! it's so flipping freezing at the moment too it's definately reminding me its winter. I love it. Tho I wasn't so happy when I got up this morning with no heating and couldn't work out how to work the stupid boiler! but I turned lots of knobs and flicked switches and it's now working tho goodness knows how to turn it off! :S I went Christmas shopping with Adam yesterday on Oxford Street and Covent Garden which was fun, busy but fun! The lights were brilliant, Carnaby Street had huge inflatable snowmen, Regent Street had blankets of little tiny lights creating a canopy and Covent Garden had tubes of lights hanging from the covered market and the lights ran down the tubes making it look like snow. So that all helped me to feel Christmassy as well. I...

i'd forgotten about how fluid places can be with people coming and going in and out of your life. when i came back from b'lore i'd started to understand that people come and go to different cities and countries but once i was back in lufbra i went back to my same old ways and thought people would always be around. once i graduated i realised things would change a little and i wouldn't still be seeing the same flatmates and coursemates all the time but they'd still be in the same country and only a few hours away by train. this week things changed again and 2 of my mates in london, one ex-flatmate one current flatmate both are returning to Australia :( it's a weird feeling wondering when/if i'll ever see them again and i don't like it! i had these same feelings when i left india in 2005 and thankfully i was back just over a year later and saw everyone again but with aus i'm really not sure when i'll get out there. in 100,000 airmiles time...

well the excitement has begun! :) christmas is less than a month away! woop woop! seeing as i stupidly left my tree at mum and dads this year in the loft i have no tree for my flat in london :( so to make up for the lack of christmas-ness i've already written about 80% of my christmas cards! :D there's nothing i love more than getting the box of cards down that i bought in the january sales last year and sorting out who gets what. i always get them from paperchase cheap then when i send them the following year i look like i'm sending expensive cards!! i'm such a student still! i've also bought and wrapped most of my presents too so that's cool! thank goodness for birthday gift vouchers from august that i've not spent yet! :P my christmas is going to be so lovely this year cos i'm not working at all seeing as i did last year. i'm going home to ma and pa's on 19th dec with adam and not returning to london till 28th :) new year will b...

I know theres a lot of ipod thefts now a days but do i seriously think someone will nick it & i don't notice.......when im listening to it?! I've got in the habit now of checking my ipod's still there in my pocket as i walk along or sit on a bus or train. I know it's a good thing cos i shouldn't loose it, but when Ive got my headphones in do i really need to check its physically there when i can hear it?! I know thieves are getting sneakier but i very much doubt they'd work it so they could swap my ipod for another more rubbish mp3 player! Tho if they needed to match up the song so i wouldn't notice the swap, they wouldn't have many to pick from I've only been listening to gaslight anthem! Woot Woot! Xxx

Went to a very emo gig at Lufbra students union last night & felt scarily old. Im only 24! I think it must have been an over 16s gig cos there were quite a few parents lined up on the sofas waiting for their little darlings to finish moshing & be tucked up in bed before midnight! One of the main qualities of an emo that sets them apart from any other person is the hair & how much it means to them. This was made most obvious by one teenager who would be on the dancefloor one minute then running up to one of the decorative mirrors on the walls & checking his hair constantly! This was infront of everyone! Thing is he was messing up the back but just looking at the front & he had one of the shortest & unstylable haircuts he could have! I felt possitively manly next to him seeing as i hadnt checked my hair since id left the house half an hour before! :-S think i better get practising checking myself out in anything that can be classed as a mirror, either that or em...

Well its that time of year again when i report back & say how many poppies Ive had to buy & replace. Well amazingly enough the answer is none! Wonders will never cease! The same cant be said for the rest of london tho......i decided to do my bit this year & went to collect money for the poppy people at heathrow airport last saturday & the most common thing that was said to me.....'this is my 2nd, 3rd, 4th poppy this year i just keep losing them!' ha so im not alone! I did quite well though & managed to sell all but 10 of my poppies in the box & ill find out how much i raised later on. I was on my own for most of the time until a man dressed in his raf jacket & was about 70 showed up with his poppies & wife in tow. He saw me & said 'ah a volunteer thats what i like to see' so i thought id finally have a nice friendly man to chat to until, plonk, hed set up his little table right infront of me so i was completely blocked & couldnt...
