Catch Phrase

NO this blog isn't about a terrible game show, it's about what I have decided to end my posts with!

DID the Biology and Mechanics Exams! They went well, I talked about enzymes instead of co-enzymes on one question (in the biology... mechanics doesn't tend to have many enzyme related questions unfortunately :( )  But all in all they went quite well. Everyone said mechanics was a massive bitch, but as long as I got the majority of it right I should be in with an A :P And biology... I don't know... It can be a fussy bugger when it comes to mark schemes. Still, it was 30% of the course grade, the big 'uns in May :O

DENTISTRY UPDATE: Rejection from Manchester... Bastards! Do they not know i'm one of them?! Ah well, 3 more uni's left!

Keep fighting the good fight, brothers and sisters

Its Been A While....

HELLO there faithful followers! (katherine) Thought i would just throw something up on here as i lie in my bed that smells faintly off cinemon (that's not a digimon, the autocorrect doesn't work in this text box in my phone browser ><)

SO yes... i have been very busy over the last few... months. I lie, i had loads of time to blog, but i'm here now! And that's what counts.

HERES something to talk about! Exams! Massive bitch ay? Well, taking maths, biology, chemistry, physics and general studies has landed me with a whopping 7 exams this month. I have the general studies and biology resit out of the way... and now onto the big boys... biology is killing me, slowly. I used to be crushed by the shear work load, but now the amount of stuff that has to be in my head is untrue! Physics is utterly mind-boggling, it is extremely difficult to understand things that barely make any sense, and then have to answer complex questions about it! But for some reason chemistry is going well, haha! Maths is maths... mechanics shouldn't be too hard. General Studies isn't even worth the power used to light up the screen to write those words >< I'll get a B and it wont even be looked at by any of the uni's ive applied to. Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds by the way (in order of most wanting to go to) I really hope i get in, or wtf was the point in the last 2 years!

RELATIONSHIP wise is going excellent, as ever :) Our monthly meals became more extravagant as I took her to Pipers in Garstang. It was very expensive... but looked and tasted delicious! I had swordfish, it was bigger than a steak! haha! Kat had 3 birds of game or something?! Everything was presented amazingly and we felt well posh :P I wore my previously unworn £500 felt jacket, which was particularly smexy and i shall be wearing it again for our valentines day/birthday meal at wyrebank with dancing and laughs with her wearing a beautiful blue dress i've only seen pictures of! I can't wait!

MY hand hurts now, so I shall be leaving you, but i shall return soon no doubt ;)

Till then. Just lie there and forget the world.

No, I'm Not Emo

I lie here, having a thought, a think.

You'd think I'm on a bed, let alone the brink.

Looking out all I see is unecessary.

Looking in all I find is caring.

The anger lestening from my self inflicted horrors.

The realisations of the judges and the lawyers.

In my mind only I'm to blame. 

The search for another suitor all too easy.

The prevention of which, all too simple.

A little broken, a bit to mend.

Worth it all? We'll see in the end.

For now I'm hopeful.

Not so hard to be, in this calming lull.

Simple rhyming, for reasons unknown, the killers, human?

Throughout everything, i find it easy to see.

After all of this, there's more to perceive.

Much more.

Splendid Day

SPENT the day with my beautiful girl today! T'was good! I had Chris over last night, so after going up to see KitKat after having a MASSIVE lamb shank (it turns out...) after she got back from visiting Hull university I went walked the vast distance to his house! Unfortunately my inability to read 24 hour clock times meant that there wasn't a bus for an hour and half... bearing in mind it was 8:30 and our respective parents were a bit drunk he got a bit miffed... put me over his shoulder... and ran to the next bus stop with the timetable on it XD Amazingly the 42 came when we arrived there, so we didn't have to get a taxi!I spent the night downloading SO many apps! My favourite of which is the one on the iPhone advert which turns your phone into a window to the heavens! Letting you see what the bright light you are looking at is... turned out it was Jupiter, Uranus and Oh in a line :D Then Chris drank some cider i found in the garage called 'Gaymers'... we laughed... then he fell asleep on me after some groping of my behind ><

SO yes... today... I woke up at the respectable time of 10:45 to go pee, as is my routine thanks to my internal pain barriers being lowered :( of course I went back to bed and Chris spent the next 45 minutes trying to get me out of bed... or see me naked... So we had marshmallow on toast and wriggle giggled it outa there at 12 to catch the bus! Kat, having spent the night working till 1am had only just woke up, so I encountered her in her pj's all sexy looking and warm xD After watching her family eat I got her to make me a goddamn sammich while I was outside sunbathing >< (I lie... I cut the cheese :P) So after an incredible time with Snookums I ran off home [on a bus] and changed into a sexier attire (a more formal  black with red shirt which Kat loved XD) and we hoped on off to Salvatores to celebrate 2 wonderful months together! Jack had told us to 'Order a side dish of garlic bread and call it Jack.........i can watch over the romance safeguarding it from any anti romantic protesters' so that we did! [below] I had such a good time chatting away with my sexy girl! I feel so lucky! Once again she was all giggly and cute, loving dinner out! We had the massive garlic bread between us, ribs for me and Pâté for her. Then we moved onto the equally huge main course of pizza tropicale and spaghetti carbonara. Neither of us could finish them! Haha! Kat wanted to take me out for a meal after last months escapades... Thank You Baby for a most perfect day and evening :) I look forward to next months meal out... where shall I take you this time...? XD I think it shall be a surprise again! 

ON our way it got quite cold, so i was a gentleman and braved the elements by giving her my jacket, luckily the time flew by as we played a 2 player reaction game on my phone, then on the bus causing us to almost miss our stop! Haha! after jogging to my house to stay warm and looking at random stars, giggling away and making faces at each other we watched the F1 with Tony and Vicky for an hour or so, lay on the sofa all snuggled as Kat started to get sleepy :)

AND today's humorous image to be stumbled across while on my way home to get changed for my meal: 

That's all from me folks! Life's good, and will hopefully remain that way... homework permitting >< love love! 

Extreme Internal Pain

LYING on my face makes the pain go away....

I'LL explain: Last Saturday I was happily eating an incredibly tasty subway sandwich with KitKat when I suddenly started having intense stomach cramps to the point where walking around hurt... pretty much has set the scene for the next week till this point! After a quick trip to hospital after spending the night with Kat (There is nothing I love more than waking up next to the girl I love... and not elbowing her in the face... twice >< SORRY!) I found out that I have a stomach inflammation called 'Gastritis' and since then there are only 2 things that make the pain stop; eating vast amounts of food to keep my stomach full at all times and lying face down!

ON that day however I was helping out the biology department talking to perspective Cardinal Newman goers and explaining how amazing college is! Kat was doing the physics one so i decided to tag along for the free sausage/bacon butties from the IN-COLLEGE costa coffee xD It was a good feeling knowing I was one of the students who helps to decide whether you choose to spend the next 2 years somewhere, and what to do. I was helpful as far as I know and had a great time talking to the biology teachers out of class :)

WEDNESDAY pretty much wiped me out as I spent 4.5 hours doing homework... and for the first time since I started college, I got home and had no homework hanging over me! This was of course smashed the next day but it felt good for a short time XD The extreme homework is due to the resit of Biology F212 that i decided to do... and because I didn't drop a subject I effectively have another A level to do... so that's 5!!! YAY!!!! ¬¬

JUST trying to remember what I have done in the last month since I have posted now! Haha!

AH! Went to Alex's party on the 25th! That was good! Everyone was there from my friend-group and we all had a laugh with drinks in our hands! Had a chippy at Kats before continuing on up to Lancaster to the party, always laughing and talking :) Despite it being an 18th birthday party and jack also being of age... it still comes down to me to go buy people alcohol from the corner shop >< Haha! After lots of chatting with everyone we a few of us left on the bus and had a laugh as I suddenly exclaimed 'WHOAH... I'm on a bus' at the sudden realisation that I wasn't at Alex's house any more and that one of the street lights wasn't as bright as the others!... I was a bit drunk xD Back to Kats for sleepy times :) After which we spent the entire day lounging about and staring at each other, an amazing lazy day (most of it spent in bed >< Haha!)

DENTISTRY UPDATE: UCAS form all done and sent off... that's it now... Just got to hope that Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool or Leeds wants me! There was a bit of a kerfuffle when taking the UKCAT (UK Clinical Aptitude Test) which comprises of different types of tests such as verbal reasoning, matching patterns and other such abstract stuff... But for the Maths section they gave me a piece of paper and a pen, and off I continued thinking it was a REALLY hard mental arithmetic exam... Turns out they hadn't given me a calculator like they were supposed to... Amazingly it was my highest score (650/900) which is well above average WITHOUT a calculator... so maybe it can work in my favour as a note is being put in my UCAS form from UKCAT saying they were in the wrong and I'm amazing in every way... ah well... all I can do is wait now

Life Has A Positive Gradient

LAST night I took Kat out for our first proper meal together (not a double date this time!). Suffice to say it went incredibly well!  We got all dressed up went to The Great Season, the chinese restaurant on the A6 and we talked and we ate for around 3 hours... there was a lot of talking and eating! Haha! We decided to start off with half a 'crispy aromatic' duck.. probably a bad idea as it turned out that was quite a lot... but we ate it all including the main courses we ordered consisting of sweet and sour chicken, egg fried rice and chicken with some sort of black bean sauce... I was way too full by the end of mine to try it but kat said it was pretty good XD There were lots of laughs at the chinese music and feeding each other prawn crackers... so cute! Then we shared a lemon filled with sorbet for desert!

SUCH a perfect night, spent staring at just what kind of beautiful and intelligent person I've got sat in front of me, smiling away as the nervousness of not knowing where she was going and our first night out together wore off. So excited and loving...

WHEN we got back we lay in the lounge and watched Pelham 123, a train heist thriller, with Vicky and Tony (parents XD) and eventually retired to bed after watching 8 Out 10 Cats and having a sneaky shower before my parents went to bed XD Think I'll just fit my own shower in my bathroom soon >< Haha! I'm sure its simple enough! I've recently found that buying heels for shoes off of eBay and re-heeling my own shoes is significantly cheaper and actually possible! Haha! Got a large drill with a spinning file bit on it and set up a 'Timpsons' style workbench outside my back door as the rubber goes everywhere! Only took about 15 mins per shoe in the end after i had everything sorted! Tony then took them to timpsons anyway to sneakily get them re-soled as I hadn't got round to that yet >< But amazingly the Timpsons guy actually said they were well done and was surprised I had done it myself! Well Chuffed :D ... So this is is me in the future XD:

KAT mentioned this already but I'd like to put my rendition of our night stargazing, about a month ago now... What a night! Staying up until 11pm, holding hands, talking and watching the Perseids meteor shower, actually at it's peak for the entire year with a clear sky to watch it all! So many shooting stars streaking across the sky and fading away. I unfortunately didn't remember to make any wishes... but to be honest, I have everything I could ever want, and that night was the perfect start to our relationship together. She gave me a bracelet she brought back from Barcelona while on her cruise... And after struggling to put it on in the pitch black and under the covers of a duvet to keep warm I have barely taken it off since! 

SO the moral of this story: Re-heal your own shoes - it's cheaper

41 Days Later

SORRY for the incredible lateness of this blog... I have had an incredibly busy month and a half since my last post, so much has changed... for the better in most cases :)

(Sorry for the melancholy feel of the post (maybe) as I'm listening to the Star Wars soundtrack ... worth it :D)

6 days after said camping trip I met up with Kat... suffice to say the inevitable finally happened! We recently celebrated being a month together, and what a month its been! We have only spent 3 days apart for that entire time and I've loved every second of it! I'm so happy now, others see it too.

MY A levels went well, one little biological niggle but I will be resitting it for a glorious A XD In short: Maths - A, Chemistry - A, Biology - B, Physics - B (((Critical Thinking - C*))) So all's good for this dentistry thing atm! AAB/AAA is what I need... And that I shall get :D With my mind set straight and life being incredibly good at the moment... I don't see why not! ... I'm on target for an A* for Maths right now as well... that would be awesome XD

WENT on a double-date with The Wife (Kathryn Ascroft) and James after going to see Scott Pilgrim for the second time! It really is that good! If you haven't seen it yet... What are you doing sat there?! Anyhoo; we then went to Bella Italia with our 2 meals for the price of 1 Vue discount tickets... Kat kindly paid for me... can't actually remember why... I think I dastardly paid for something for her! Haha! Xmas, valentines day and birthday are upcoming so I'll make it up then XD

NOW... let's see... Ah yes, humorous sign I came across in Preston should come next: 

BEYOND that though... The last 3 weeks of the summer were amazing, spent so much time with my friends and Snookums. More so than I have ever done! So nice to be out of the house doing things constantly! So much freedom; not being bogged down, sat on msn, being worn down etc...



OH! I went to see Jimmy Carr again! That was sufficiently awesome! Another night filled with shits n' giggles XD Here is a poor picture to show that I went:

AFTER this... I forget how long after >< I was left home alone for a WEEK! That was seriously amazing! I had a mini gathering of some people. Lots of junk food etc. Cycled to Garstang every few days to pick up food for the next few more... I got pretty fit carrying a 15 pack of strongbow on my back on one occasion, got all the way up the hill! Oh Yeah XD I pushed the sofa right up to the TV and watched sexy Blu Rays on my sexy PS3 with my sexy Kit Kat... Mmmmm Star Trek movie in HD ... and of course the one and only Tony Stark :P

((I'm planning on having a beard like him btw! I'm about 80% there on hair growth XD))

AND to top everything off for an incredible few weeks I had... Me and Kat went on a camping trip :) Something I have always dreamed of doing... and it did not disappoint one bit! We had an amazing time with fellow campers of the 'Puffles & co' nature... And after an exhausting hour of carrying Rihanna home as she couldn't move (This took 6 guys to do (mine and Andy's valient attempts at firemans lifting her unfortunately never got further than a few hundred yards><), and the entire journey we had to listen to Andrew complain of groping her boobs as Puffles looked sadly on) I returned and spent the night with Kat. We awoke to find just Knox and Hannah left in their tent, everyone else had long since departed >< So once the Knoxitron went me and Kat stayed behind, heads poking out of the tent and an umbrella as it was too bright [XD], talking and such... during which time i took the incredible picture above ^^

As a final little thing: Just want to say thank you to Kat; for waiting for me and being there for me... even through everything. All the crap over the last year. But now everything is more perfect than I could have possibly imagined, and we can move on together. Love you so much <3

THAT'S all from me folks! Hope you enjoyed the update and I'm sure I'll be posting more as I remember stuff xD 

- A happy Rye Rye
