KAT's Internet (Aug 27, 2005)
So! I've got bizarrely limited internet access right now. This is because our modem is broken I believe. The delay is mainly due to dad growling about not wanting to buy a new one. Therefore I am not currently able to keep up in:

<./>Peer Review</.>
<./>Writing-Alternative</.>
The Language Thing A1145477
The Forum A1146917
The Atelier A304354
The Zoological Society A4661930


So I thought I would advertise them so that y'all would go and replace me for a while. There's also StarGate Command A3212605 but you don't have to replace me there

I'm also getting ready for school. Trust me to only just realise that if I'm doing maths then a graphic calculator and a geometry set might just be a good idea!
I hate the bit where you have to buy folders and paper and make sure you've got pens and your fountain pen hasn't suddenly rebelled or anything and you've been forced into buying new shoes (admittedly only a pair of blue Keds for £7 but still!) and...your mother lies in bed and completely agrees when you go to her to complain that school is "a right b*gger"

KAT's Aims For The Summer (Jun 8, 2005)
So I reckon it must be officially summer now...at least by proper person standards rather than calander standards. This means that usually it would be exam season and coming up to the summer holidays, which are always a time when I make all sorts of decisions that don't last until school starts again.

Seeing as I'm actually going back to school this year, I thought I'd start it again. Anyone who wants to join in is very welcome.

1) Stop biting and picking my finger nails plus the skin around them.
2) Do at least an hour and a half piano practice every day (I know I keep changing this one, it's all about finding the right balance)
3) Actually finish my h2 entries about Liszt and duvets
4) Spend at least 30 mins outside every day
5) Not cut or take more than 6 tablets at any given time.
6) stretch my hands and thumbs every day
7) all piano scales and apeggios will be properly learnt, instead of just basic 'I've got an exam, I ought to know these' level.
8) Keep a record of what I'm actually spending money on and cut back in trivial areas of spending.
9) Keep volunteering three-four days a week
10) Find a job?

What about other people? Anything, big or as small as you like, be it doing work on your thesis, not eating a bar of chocolate every day, remembering to replace the toilet roll when you've used the last of the old one....

Home KAT (May 5, 2005)
This is just to make sure all those people who have been clamouring stop...

I will be home on Friday at 9am. This means that if you have the desperate urge to talk to me (and have my details) then you are perfectly allowed to telephone me on Friday evening.

Being home will also mean that I will:

sub all the entries I said I would have done by last week
get in Peer Review more
email people who feel neglected
overhaul the Young Researchers' Club which I appear to have taken over
get in the AWW more
Write potential new pages for the UG
Finish my entry on upright pianos
Do AT LEAST 4 hours piano every day, preferably 6.
Get a hair cut
Relish all my lovely new books
Do some maths every day
Ask for help with the flipping maths
Get a bank statement
call my grandfather
Call Rachel from school who thinks I hate her
Call Joe C

Can anyone think of anything else?

Oh!!
REMINDER TO SELF: Call psych and piano teacher when I get home!

Everyone okay? Everyone happy? Anyone accidently died and just not told me?

It's now 1:30am on Thursday, and I'll be catching a plane at 8am...flying for 6 hours...waiting around for 3 hours...flying for 9 hours, and arriving at BHX at 7am. So somewhere I'll have lost an odd amount of time.

I'd like to say a very big thank-you to Mikey for having me to stay and not being one of those scary internet people your mother always warns you about That's not to say that everyone shouldn't be very careful about meeting people from the internet though.

Be alert, because the world needs lerts

KAT sees the surgeon (Mar 16, 2005)
Today (Wednesday) I am due to see my orthopaedic surgeon at 9am. This is to see whether the second operation worked or not. If it has then I'll be on a plane for Seattle faster than a camel with black pepper on its bum. If it hasn't then I'll be in hospital again having hip bone taken out and inserted in the leg.

In other news I am setting a new personal record, having slept for 4 hours in 55 hours so far. What a truly wonderful thing you all needed to know.

I am also reading American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, The Old Testament According to Spike Milligan, and Carlyle's House by Virginia Woolf.

I may not be around as often as usual currently as I am rather...tired? Let's say struggling with myself and the world perhaps. So if I don't get back to you about something but have replied to something else it's not a personal slight.

KAT goes to Hospital (Jan 30, 2005)
Tomorrow *fingers crossed* I should be going to Coventry hospital. I'll be going in in the evening, and then on Tuesday, they're going to take the nail currently in my leg out, and irritate the marrow, and the ends of the bone, and then put a new rod in. Hopefully this should force the bone to grow over, as it is still currently broken into three pieces.

I should be back on Wednesday if I can get out of bed. That's the test apparently...if I get out of bed then I'm allowed to go home.

I'm....reasonably nervous. If this doesn't work then they have to take bone out of my hip and then insert it in my leg So hopefully that won't happen.
Currently I'm taking with me:
Martin
a small book in German that katkodl gave me
underwear
tshirt
pyjama bottoms
walkman
juice

Don't really need anything else I don't think?
