Do you know, when I have some time I genuinely DO want to update this site and get back into writing my journal? When I was frequently posting to it I found that it was quite a good stress reliever... and I feel rather stressed at this time in my life.... I am still blissfully happy, but it has a cost :-( Feeling:  lethargic |

Ok....

Well Im back, its been a while.... I am very ashamed. A lot has has. A HELL of a lot has changed.
But the main thing that is different?
I am happy.
Really happy.
The happiest I have ever been :-)
*touch wood*
I shall elaborate further another day, but for now I really should go to bed as its after midnight and I have work tomorrow, but the temptation to go back and play some more F.E.A.R is overpowering.....
I am now on broadband so will hopefully be updating more from now on.
You can also check out my facebook profile. I dont know what the actual URL is, but find me searching for Kate Greenslade - I'm the one in the Devil outfit ;-)

It has been so long since I have written this - for the life of me I cannot remember what events have taken place since October!
I sadly have to say that there are many things I will still not be talking about here, namely because they are very personal. Some of you know what is and has been going on, but these individuals have been screened before any disclosure ;-)
One thing I will talk about is my new flat. Back in September I moved out (again - sigh), and into a little ground floor one bed flat about 8 miles away, but its great as its close to all local ammenities and within cycling distance of work. I confess I have only cycled to work once since September (about 9 miles round trip), but my excuse is that the weather is so crap I don't want to get to work looking like a drowned rat!
The flat was unfurnished so its all my own kit which is nice, and I am completely self sufficient. Since moving into the flat, money has been difficult because of the inevitable bills etc (and this time I am paying for everything myself, rather than things split in half like last time), but for the price of my own space where I can be as miserable as I please, its priceless.
..Its kinda sad really, without talking about the downers of the last six months I am struggling to think of things to write.
I suppose the only nice thing I can refer to is Christmas, which has probably been the most enjoyable in 13 years. The key, I have found, is to not view it as Christmas, but simply time-off. And it seemed to work :-) I got some lovely gifts including American Dad! Series 1 and Family Guy Series 5 to add to 1-4. If you have never seen American Dad! I truly recommend it, imagine Family Guy merged with heavy political satire!
Oh yes, and my Department's Christmas Do - a trip to Benedorm.... It had its good and bad points, hindsight is a wonderful thing, as it means I can laugh at the events that took place, including the fact I was almost arrested.... But thats another story :-)
I hope everyone had a nice Christmas, and will be celebrating however they see fit for the New Year xxFeeling:  tired |
As odd as it sounds, things are completely different, and yet nothing has changed. I won't elaborate :-)
As most of you are probably aware, Besticus is down at the moment, so I obviously am not receiving any emails from there. I am using my Hotmail account as my main email contact at the moment.
A week today I am flying off to Salinas, CA (just below San Fransisco and near Monterey), in the States for a Remington course - on the 870 Shotgun and the 700 Rifile. Should be a laugh, though I confess I am really very nervous in the sense I have not flown for years and years - i.e. before the whole 9/11 saga plus the recent changes at our own airports.
Anyway, nothing else to report that I wish to share, but one thing, though I am really sorry its so late:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!!!!!!!
Keep smiling mate, I'll drop you a mail asap.Feeling:  anxious |
I have just returned from a lovely trip to Stoke, to witness the beautiful Wedding of Mike Barker and Clare (Diz) Fitzpatrick. Never thought it would happen, but I am chuffed to bits for them :-)
I know Im not right at the moment, I almost cried all the way through the Ceremony. I dont cry when Im happy. But it was lovely though, and hopefully some pictures will be soon to follow.

I'M BORED OF ________________
Fill in the blank with anything. I guarantee that whatever you think of or put in the blank I will agree with and/or will be true.Feeling:  exanimate |
Not a lot is going on at the moment that I want to write about here, but there have been some significant changes to work and home/social life. All of which are making life very difficult for me. One major thing is that for certain reasons I am not meant to drink anymore, which sucks big time as alcohol has been a good outlet for me as of late.
But I have been distracting myself, and this weekend I got my second tattoo :-) The first one was done back in April on my left shoulder blade - a tribal symbol. Yesterday I had a symmetrical tribal shape on the small of my back, and they look awesome together. Ill post pictures when I have a moment. I am already looking into my third one but for someone so petite as me any incorrectly placed tattoo can look tacky, and worse could make me look just downright weird. These two compliment each other and I choose when I want to show them off which is great. Distractions do give temporary joviality.Feeling:  pensive |
I would like to think that I am more cheerful since my last post, but sadly I'm not. Things are getting more serious regarding my mental state, to the extent I am now forced to seek external help. But I am just accepting it as my new persona.
Not really too much new stuff going on (apart from the usual), though sadly last week, because of completely different reasons, two of my best friends at work were moved out of the Operational Training department. A long story, but it saddens me greatly.
Today I am recovering from a hangover from a good night out last night - distractions are the key you see ;-) It was a friends Birthday, and to celebrate he had a fancy dress night out in Bristol, though only three of us actually bothered getting dressed up. Below is a pic of me (can you guess who I am meant to be?!?!), the Birthday Boy (sorry, Gorilla), and his bro as Scooby. We started drinking about 5pm (obviously in DAYLIGHT!), and with lots of people staring I felt like a prat, but luckily as drinks flowed I didnt care. And drinks REALLY flowed to the extent they wouldnt let me in the final club for being too drunk! I think the THIRTY POUND COCKTAIL we bought pushed me over the edge when mixed with my double whiskeys. You can tell the picture was taken when we were all sober!
Otherwise nothing else to report (or that I care enough about to elaborate on).Feeling:  sick |
