Tuesday, 20 September 2011
Sunday had arrived and I was so excited. For most of the week I had stayed in doing nothing, as I'm a poor student and having a broken foot you can't really push the boat out with the things you really want to do. Therefore I was so excited to just get out of the house and to fill my day with things I enjoyed, such as going out for lunch, watching the football, and spending the day with my best friend at the pub.
It was the Man U vs Chelsea game, so a big match which depended on important goals so we knew the atmosphere would be amazing. I have never really had a friend (girl) who's been into football as much as me, so it was nice :) With Joelly being a true Chelsea fan and me supporting the opponents the rivalry was rather funny and tense at times.
Just sat in the corner apparently looking 'all pretty' ;) we got a lot of attention by the guys for loving football, and many drinks were bought for us. Of course we thought it would be rude to say no, so we let them buy us a drink..what we thought would be one drink.
Realising that we had started drinking at 1'oclock in the afternoon we started to fill rather tipsy...oops and the drinks that we were being bought were building up and they were now lined up like shots on our table. This resulted into us getting extremly excited about a pub quiz and ended up shouting out ridiculous and embarrasing answers infront of everyone, aswell as a few consistant screams coming from our table in the corner.
Being the alcoholics that we are we thought why not continue the night with a night out. I was abit skeptical because it would be my first night out as a cripple, but that soon changed after a jager bomb! We had just made a new male friend called Andy who came and sat with us after the football as he thought that we seemed nice and had recently just split up with his girlfriend so was on his own. So we invited him out with us! :D
On our way home, we convinced ourselves that we needed more alcohol haha and so we stopped off at Tesco's. Walking in we were alot more louder and giggly than the other customers so it kind of gave it away that we had been drinking...it also didn't help the fact that I shouted: "there not gonna serve us, when I'm like this". Ha opps. After alot of persuading Mr Tesco's guy, Joelly decided that we should share the biggest bottle of vodka there was ha, and our new mate Andy bought a pack of bottled beer. He went to the till and the cardboard packaging split and the beers smashed everywhere. After we gathered ourselves from our fits of laughter, we went home got changed at went out.
It wasn't very busy for a Sunday but it was still a lot of fun. The company I had, the best music and also the fact that this was my first proper night out as a cripple made it so much more exciting! We met these four vunerable freshers ha walking around, so I'd like to say that they tagged along with us, but I think we tagged along with them haha and went to this new bar. One of them seemed lovely and ended my night very well ;D
The next day me, Joelly and Andy all crammed into Joelly's bed in our PJ's with our cups of tea, reminiscing the moments of last night and shamefully laughing at ourselves and spilling the goss.
I didn't spend a single penny that night and it just goes to show that the simplest of things which doesn't involve too much money, can have the same amount of fun if not more !! :)
However, the definite highlight was when Joelly fell over and literally cart wheeled into the wall...twice lmao! Still laugh about it to myself when I think about it ha! She's currently nursing her bruises...

Kerry Katona
If I mentioned the name Kerry Katona we would most likely all sigh and know her for her bad reputation. The fact that she is a drug addict of class A drugs, an alcoholic and a bad mother, rather than being one third of the girl band Atomic Kitten and the winner of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Kerry's life is a constant battle with the paparazzi as everyday whether it's past or present, there is a new story about her. Her life for the past two years has been an on going struggle and her world came crashing down when a private video of herself snorting cocaine in her own home with a £20 note was released; along with other shocking confessions. Not only this, but anonymous people were selling stories about her to the News of the World about her unhealthy addiction to alcohol and drugs; including her OWN MOTHER. If this wasn't enough for the devastated 28 year old, many watched in horror as she took to the sofas on TV show 'This Morning' where the public were faced with a mumbling, dazed, drugged up Kerry Katona. As well as it being available on YouTube receiving a massive 100,000 hits.
Unlucky in love with two failed marriages, left bankrupt, a rocky relationship with her mother, getting dropped from Iceland (which was bringing in £250,000 a year) and being a single mum, Kerry's life was at rock bottom.
With all the crap which had gone on and wanting to be dead just 24 months ago, she still managed to see light at the end of the tunnel. This guiding light being her four young children, reportedly saying: "I have let my children down, they're going to know about their mother and I am so embarrassed and ashamed of that."
Kerry returned to our screens with a bang. She had enough courage to do 'This Morning' again, but as a 'new woman'. Highlighting her last appearance on the daytime show and bringing us an insight of what she has to offer us. She also released a reality TV show 'Kerry Katona the next chapter'. This gave the public the 'real Kerry', and the honest truths about her and her home life. The cameras were allowed to film her every step and together we helped her climb that ladder of success. The first thing I noticed was her physical appearance. She had a new slim, toned body, a healthy natural glow and was 20 months of being clean. Her priorities were clear (her children) and she kept her head up high, and was happy being an independent woman.
I watched this show without fail every Wednesday. I wasn't a fan of Kerry Katona either at the start, however after hearing the story from the horses mouth, rather than exaggerated rumours by the paps, it was obvious that she had a warm personality and a typical Northerner (always up for a laugh). I had a lot of sympathy for her now.
Unfortunately I broke my foot at university, so that resulted in being totally bed-ridden for weeks and watching all sorts of trashy TV...one being Big Brother. Urgh, can't stand the programme but not being able to go out, I watched everything and anything. Paying no attention to the TV, I was on facebook talking to my mate when I heard Kerry Katona's name being announced by Brain Dowling. I glanced up and out of the 'Big Brother Eye' came this blond bombshell, in a different but stunning black dress, with a smile from ear to ear. I couldn't believe it she was looking better than ever!
She was in the house for a total of 3 weeks and was up for eviction once for failing her task. Her, having such low esteem and feeling she had lost all of her fan base thought she would be gone in the first week. How wrong was she! Kerry battled with 14 other housemates to win a place in the final, having no idea what the public perception of her was, and she made it as the runner up, just missing out to winner Paddy.
The interview was so overwhelming to say the least. She was so happy that she managed to win the public back around, and that this was a great opportunity for her as she managed to get a second chance in life.
I'm hoping for her sake that she gets job opportunities now, and that the paps might write something positive about her. Hopefully Daryn her fellow housemate. I really hope that she carries on climbing that ladder to fulfil a stable career and to bring lots of love to her four kids.

Having no regrets
I live without regrets, and I make sure I make the best decisions I can with my life. I always think before I speak, (however this doesn't apply when I'm drunk ha) and I remind myself everyday that I have one life and to live it to the fullest and to not wait around for others, as it could be taken away tomorrow.
The last few months I've had to make a few crucial decisions. I'm not a selfish person, yet I knew that these certain choices would affect others, but I had to think of my happiness first. If I had delayed anymore on how I felt or things I wanted to change, I know for a fact I wouldn't be as happy as I would be today. And I know one other person is feeling the strain on this situation now, just reading some of her blogs.
I love who I am living with, and I know it was the correct decision. Although I had great times with my 'halls' flatmates and was lucky to be living with them for my first year, I'm so enjoying my time with new housemates. I have so much fun and can have my own space, everyones so relaxed, they're more my type of people, and its safe to say I am living with my true best friend now.
'Thought I couldn't breathe without you,
I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without you,
Perfect vision,
You thought I couldn't last without ya,
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya,
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without ya,
But I'm on top.'
'A single droplet of rain,
trickles freely down my window pane,
stopping for a few frozen seconds,
as if mapping out its next move.
It leaves a little wet trail behind,
like the jet stream of a plane.
there I lay transfixed by the simple beauty of it all,
the luxury of warmth and shelter,
enable me to enjoy such a sight.
on such a cold cold night.'
