Damned...

Waiting here feels so damned,
When I don't know if you'll return,
Pulling at my heart,
Turning it inside out,
Because nothing really matters,
Till you're here again,
To make me feel myself again,
Because without you,
I'm just nothing.
And until you come back,
I'll stay here,
Somehow getting by,
But the second you come back,
I will run into your arms,
Like all those times before,
Because without you,
I'm nothing,
And nothing ever changes,
Like the feeling in my stomach,
When you're beside me,
And I feel alive again.

Valentines Weekend!

OK so a great weekend was had!
Friday was a movie; Just Go With it (hilarious FYI) and a walk around town with Tom in the freezing cold! It was kinda like when we first were going out so that was lovely! :) Plus we exchanged some presents and we're both thrilled! :)
Saturday; At drama we had to be serious for once which was such a change but went so well and we really had a good time! I spent some time with Nicole (my bestie) and went to a Scale 3 gig in Celtic, so funny with Nicole and Aoife C! Plus Blue Thunder chips were well needed that night! :)
Sunday; Was spent at my house so Tom and I had dinner and a movie and had another lovely day together!
Yesterday was actually Valentine's day so Tom brought me to a Zoe Rahman Trio concert in the Linenhall in town! It was kinda jazzy stuff but it was a great night and such a cute surprise! :)
Then today was busy... Awkward when Ty's get stressed out! :D but tomorrow we're gonna see Hairspray in Westport as it's the Ty's musical so we'll be comparing it to our Back to the 80s (which was EPIC and will never be lived up to!) sounds cocky but yeah... it's true! :D
So hopefully I can get round to posting some more meaningful stuff since that's why I started a blog in the first place!
Happy reading, Kate.

dreaminess, Kate.

Epic Thursday!!

So today was great!
We went off for the Peer 4 Peer teaching thing today and it went really well!! Yay!
We spent so many classes practising and it was good fun! :)
There was ice and a huge fog today!! It was ridiculous!
I got to see my boyfriends new hair cut and it looks so good!! :D
I straightened my hair and got lovely compliments so I'm happy out! Thank you guys!
Thinking about a ECDL pretest tomorrow, so dreading that!
The yearbook is going well so far!
Our year hoodie is being designed and it sounds great so far I can't wait to get it!! :D
The last three classes today were so brilliant!
We messed around the entire time! Kerrie turned off everyone's computers!!
And so did Sarah G! lol We ran away from Ms Calvey which was hilarious!!!
Poor Ruth got left in the bathroom and didn't know where everyone went! Plus we stole Kathryn's shoe and she found bubble wrap in her bag!! Soo funny!
And that's why Thursday was so EPIC!!
Looking forward to the weekend and Valentine's day!! The excitement!
Not sure but this might be the last post for the weekend... ;)
Til next time, Kate.

Lost In Flight - Last Breath (Official Video)

Death Cab for Cutie-Bixby Canyon Bridge (Live From Seattle)

The Middle

Yup it's Wednesday, and for me today was crap.
Just one of those days when things go from bad to worse.
But when I'm in a bad mood I write or listen to angry music til I feel better!
Plus I've got a massive blue lolly from Aoife C so that's great! Thank you!
So whatever way you're felling right now, do something with it.
Do some crazy art or write something or buy something nice!!
Check out an online gallery or you tube something new!
Wherever you are, I hope you're having a better day than I am right now.
Happy thoughts, Kate.

Today in a Nutshell!

Ok so today was great, better than Monday and getting closer to Friday (I know it's early but still!)
So year book pictures were today and everyone was looking their best and rushing around with make up which was funny and with my luck of course I got spots the one day I had to my picture taken!!
My lunch was the highlight of the day though... I got lunch in the lunch room which is a treat for me and then I got to buy sweets in the olde sweet shoppe which was cool and delicious!!
Nutrition class in the computer room was hilarious! Kerrie turning off all the computers on everyone!! :D
And then talking to people on twitter including David Guetta with Mr Mac our math teacher!
Best day ever!! :P
Art Portfolio was on tonight and it was great i seriously loved it!! Plus we had great craic and i got covered in charcoal... my own fault!
Ok so check out daytime nighttime bird!! I haven't laughed so much in ages!

Happy out, Kate.

Fight Like Apes - Jenny Kelly.

When I woke up...

From the moment I opened my eyes this morning, I knew today was gonna be pretty crap.
Yeah Monday again, nothing out of the ordinary really.
If I'm not trying to get out of class for art or being called to help do all sorts of stuff, half my teachers don't even bother turning up for class!
I mean if that was us we get into trouble for missing work and falling behind etc etc but when it's one of them, well lucky for us but how come we don't get an explanation?? Seriously if we got the tone on and demanded to know where the hell they were and why would they dare missing one of our classes? Well I don't think we'd ever see the light of day again.
Moving on, Nicole and myself made a 'cake' in Home EC today... One of the most awkward classes ever!!
We were the only ones who brought in some ingredients, baking at the top of the class... while everyone stared... Quite weird!! It turned out ok though!! At least it didn't burn!
Other than that I'm finally fitting in some time for art!!! BIG CHEER! So I'm all happy for that, and I should go back to it pretty soon!
In the mean time check out Fight Like Apes, a really cool Irish band with the coolest most random lyrics ever! http://www.fightlikeapesmusic.com/ Jenny Kelly is a class song, just putting it out there!! :)

       
            Happy doing whatever you do, Kate.

Setting the standard...

Ok so I'm here to say sorry, I tried to post every day but in reality it's so difficult!
I kinda had some high expectations that were impossible to live up to, the optimism got to me I think!
I've been seriously busy so I havn't had the time!
I guess there isn't all that much to say...
It's been raining since Friday...
I should be studying ECDL right now yet I'm on blogger, facebook and twitter at the same time... :/
I have ALOT of art stuff to do!
Ehmmm.... I guess I'm not really in the zone right now I'm trying to sort out some thoughts etc!
But thank you for the views and all that jazz!
here's a link to Shannon Eileen's blog, seriously I wish my blog could somehow live up to hers!
It's about all sorts of stuff, all the stuff that I love in all honesty, so have a look at it!! :)

Bon Iver - Blood Bank (studio version)

Bon Iver - Blood Bank (studio version)

.: Ellie Goulding 'Starry Eyed' :.

One Day From Friday...

Road safety workshop.
We had it today in the TF and in fairness i never learned so much. I was scared out of my mind and i don't think I've ever cried amongst so many people in my entire life.
We were spoken to by the Gardai (Irish police), fire fighters, the ambulance service, a man disabled in a car accident a few years back and a mother who's daughter died in a car crash. It was heart rending. I think we walked away with a better view of what really happens at car crashes though and the effects of driving without a seat belt or being drunk. The outlook on my life is very different now.
TY3 are so epic we're in charge of doing our school yearbook this year!! So we're going to make it a brilliant one for sure! :) I was against it at first but I think it'll be fun in the end! Plus i had a great chat with Ciara Browne during the meeting!! Haha no one knows what I'm talking about so you better be reading this! :) And thanks for the encouragement about auditions, really.
Ok so art class, I am freaking out!! I need to practise or something! Anyone know any great artists? Let me know on FB or Twitter @areyoueventhere plus i need some serious ideas! :)
Ok so two videos coming up;
Ellie Goulding's Starry Eyed because i feel like this alot of the time!
Bon Iver's Blood Bank because i love this song, can't help it! It's so soft!
And Shannagh, because you care enough to complain, thanks! :)
Happy reading, Kate.

When darkness turns to light...

Above is a quote from the All American Rejects, I have always loved them.
It ends tonight is such a relateable song!! I friggin love it!
And Good Charlotte are just so epic! I envy my friend Niamh cause she somehow got lucky and got a ticket to the Kerrang! tour in Dublin this weekend!! Sickened I am if your reading this Niamh!! :)
So listen to the words and dont just blur the song together, it was clearly written for a reason!!
Happy listening, Kate. 

The All-American Rejects - It Ends Tonight

Good Charlotte "The River"

Awkward Laughter...

Ok so as the title suggests, a few awkward moments happened today during my Peer 4 Peer training, when does it not in all fairness?
Lets just say it was about a drawing of a person that had my name and the lungs were badly positioned while also not being a lung shape... That's right you're thinking right, funny for everyone and embarrassing for me basically!! :)
My parent teacher meeting went well, I'm so surprised no one picked up on how much class time I miss thanks to art but i guess they just think we're working all the time... :)
I'm trying to get more into an artistic state of mind so i can sketch some better stuff and not look like a complete eijit next week in art portfolio class! But as usual, when i actually have the time to do art, my mind goes BLANK!
I'm thinking of doing some jewellery design... And i should seriously be doing more painting.
So i guess i should go, I really want to paint my nails (sounds stupid but it's one of my obsessions!!)
Tonight I'll put up some links or videos or something interesting!!
Thanks for all the amazing views guys, Kate.

Artness!

I am in such a happy mood right now!!
I went and did this art portfolio preperation course today and am now full of madly creative ideas!
I'm still thinking of themes to go with and i seriously can't wait to start painting, designing and making loads of stuff! The excited state I'm in... It's kinda scary! But I don't care, the happiness right now is great!!
We started the Peer 4 Peer programme today which was much better than expected anyway!! :)
I learned aload about drugs and met new people from the three schools in our town! Good craic all in all to be honest!!
Meanwhile all that's going around in my mind is art...Art...ART!!!
So on that note i might put up a few small posts with pictures etc.
Thanks again for all the views! I have a good feeling about this!
Happy thoughts, Kate.
