Catherine comes to town!!

The previous weekend had been most fantastic, as one of my best friends had come down from Aberdeen to visit for the weekend. She lives in Dubai so I was insistent she came to visit before she jetted off to the sun for the summer!



Now I have only known Catherine for about 2 months, but we have become ridiculously good friends in that short space of time. We should have met in Buddhism class but since one of us rarely turned up, despite fancying the lecturer (ahem, Catherine :P) it wasn't until we had a night of truth and dare and wine at a friends house that we met properly! Much wine fueled hilarity has ensued ever since.

Anyway, back to this weekend, we met up again on Friday (having to hunt each other down at Leeds train station) and went straight to the pub (I had coke) before shopping!! I got a LAdy Gaga inspired top which is most awesome!!

On Saturday night, we went to my Aunty's hen night, a night full of hilarity and drunken antics!! I made a fiver though (and I'm not telling you how, but it involved my bra ... :P) It was an ace night though!!



Sunday was a disappointment however, as England was knocked out of the world cup! Now whilst I am not an avid football follower (or actually a follower at all!!!) but i do follow England in the world cup and I really wanted us to win!! Not just because I am patriotic, but because I felt we really needed something of that magnitude to lift our spirits after the diabolical election results!!!!!!!! I really loved how much England got behind the team and supported them!! But I was most upset at the attitude of Scotland! Living in Aberdeen, I have many Scottish friends, but not a single one wanted England to win and all had the exact same ignorant reasons for not wanting them to do so!!!

I had to return to Aberdeen this week, to move into my new flat, and I am slightly more enthused about the new flat after inspecting my new wardrobe!!! It is sooo awesome!! It is huge!!! I know you are bored of hearing about it mumma, but it has a rack for shoes and handbags and TWO full length rails for clothes (i'm already excited at the prospect of buying new clothes to fill it up with) and the doors are mirrored!!!!!!!!



Check it!!! I know you are jealous!!!!!

I have just finished the first seven books in the Southern Vampire mystery series (which the tv show True Blood is set upon) and I am obsessed!! They are the sort of books which stop you from doing anything else they are that addictive!! They are really well written and just fantastic. I enjoy the show a lot too, but the book shave the added bonus of no a lot Bill Compton and no shoddy acting, as the the actor who plays Bill CAN NOT ACT!!!!! But I really love these books and the show and I am impatiently waiting for to get the last two books and for the next episode to be aired!!

Eric, a 1000 year old viking vampire is the best character, in both the books and t.v. show!!

Anyway, gonna watch my film now, so nighty night bloggers!! xxxxx

Guess who's back?


Back again. Kia's back, tell a friend!!!

Thats right people, I have returned to the blog world and I'm determined not to forget about it this time!!!

Such a lot has happened since I spoke to you last (well not really, as it is just you who reads this at the mo Mum, and since you have only been upstairs for a few minutes, technically nothing has happened, but I can pretend!) so I'm just going to pick some of the highlights!!

I came home over Easter, with my German husband in tow, and we spent an amazing week together taking in all the best sights Yorkshire has to offer and partying with my crazy family, who it must be said, frightened my friend slightly.

We went to York, where we seeked out these giant ice creams!! If my mind serves me correctly, I had tiramisu and cherry cheesecake flavour, it was most delicious.

We spent a great day in Whitby, going to the Abbey, looking at the ruins, climbing on the rocks on the beach, me terrorising Michael by going to the edge of the pier. Even the 8 hours of travelling couldn't ruin our great day!!
There were many parties, which involved much singstar and my new favourite Just dance for the Wii!! I rock at this game!!!

There was an amazing trip to Edinbrugh in May for my little sister's birthday. Among all the touristy fun activities we did;
we went to the dungeons, where Evie was most annoyed at beoing told she "mmmmm, snacksize".
I was most impressed to meet the most pierced woman in the world!!! And she was sooo nice, if a bit bossy!!

The rest of my time has just been filled with;

Cooking with friends, a great way to avoid revising!!











Getting dressed up to go out!!











Developing a love for sangria!! I have a Spanish friend who made this lethal drink for me!!! Fortunately I had a 9am start so was sensible, wish the same could be said for my friends :D






Wearing giant tracksuits, mainly because we could!!!











Throwing a prom, to say goodbye to each other and have one last party!! I was of course the prom queen!!!



There were soooo many other good times, but I don't have space or the patience to tell you anymore. And besides, mum, you know them all anyway!!

But I really want to regularly blog, as my best friends will not be coming back to Aberdeen next year, they are both leaving me to do erasmus years, and I think this will be the perfect way for them to keep in touch with my life!!

Laters Bloggers!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
