Being Grown Up Isn't Half As Fun As Growing Up!

About Me


Hey! My name's Keta - it's a weird name, I know, but it makes conversation at parties when everyone's drunk and forgets it!
FACT: Boys who have unusual first names are more likely to have mental problems than boys with conventional names. Girls don't seem to have this problem. :D
♥ I live in a tiny village near Gillingham called Buckhorn Weston where not a lot happens!
♥ I dont have any brothers or sisters but I dont really mind because I have great friends and cute pets to make up for that (RIP Biffi, Raffles & Whisky).
♥ I'm studying English Lit, French, Spanish & History at Gillingham Sixth Form. Crazy?! Maybe.
♥ I've only been going to Gil for a year but I love it there and I've met lots of lovely people, although I do miss the craziness that used to go on with some of the most wonderful people in the world at my old school.
♥ I'm hoping to go into Journalism once I'm done with all the education stuff, hopefully at a big famous newspaper (no, NOT The Sun!!!)
♥ I love music but can't play any instruments because I'm completely tone deaf - I'm great on the triangle though!!
♥ I'm blonde! Not literally, but mentally...
♥ I have addictions to Muller Crunch Corners, Ben & Jerry's Ice cream, Jaffa Cakes and tea!
♥ I adore thunderstorms and lying in bed when it's absoloutly tipping it down with rain outside. I also like lying under beds (a bit random i kno but try it!)!
♥ I like hugs, but doesn't everyone?!
It may sound arrogant but I have no regrets, for the simple reason that I have learned from all of my mistakes and without them I'd be a completely different person! I can only regret things I havent done :-)
I dont have many hates really and i try to see the good side in everyone, but some of my pet hates are:
♠ People who constantly worry about the future and what effects the actions u take now will have on that, when, let's face it, you could be dead tomorrow! I just try to live for the moment...
♠ Being patronised
♠ Mornings, especially the Monday kind.
♠ When u dunk a biscuit in Tea for too long and it drops in the cup! Ewww!
♠ Fish & meat - they're icky!
... That's about all i can think of...aside from to say that I'm a bit shy when I first meet people, so if you see me around please say hi! Oh, and remember to add me & leave a comment! I love seeing that little "new comment" thing....i'm so easily amused!
..

My Interests

I also like:
Photography
- Watch this space... I have big plans for the photography world!
Watching films
Cooking - I Reading - I dont get around to reading that often but I do enjoy letting my geeky side run free!
Trampolining - Random i know, but it's fun & about the only exercise you'll ever get me to do!
Shoes - Just coz they're pretty!

....and that's all that comes straight to mind! I can pretty much go along with anything tho!

I'd like to meet:

Everyone.... well, possibly not murderers and stuff so maybe just everyone nice! Lol!

♥ Jane Austen

If you have any suggestions/recomendations then send them my way please!

I also enjoy going to plays, especially Shakespeare - makes me sound really geeky but that's what studying English Lit does to you!

Heroes:


These people make my world go round, my world go round, my world go round...
*Alexx*
The best friend you could ever ask for. We don't get to spend much time together these days and I miss that :-( Our pilgrimages are the best and we dance and sing like no others can! Lol! I really dont know what I'd do without this girl...
*Dann*
To be perfectly honest there aren't words to describe how much he means to me and how lost I'd be without him. He knows me so well it's almost scary and although things aren't always easy, we always make it through to the other side. We hate being apart but that's probably because everything is so much easier and a lot more fun when we're together. *Tickle* ♥
*Lou*
A total sweetie who tries to make out she's not a complete angel when she is really! Lol! Anyone hurts her, and they'll have me to deal with... I'll always be there for her and i'm hoping she'll be there too!
*Kirsty*
For being Kirsty, no matter what anyone says. And for leaving me in hysterics half the time!
*Rose*
Rewind 5 years and she was that quiet, extremely intelligent little girl at BSG. Fast forward 5 years and she's that extremely intelligent bubbly, funny girl at Gil. In a way I regret not having stayed in touch with her because I think I was missing out for some time, but I'm just glad I know her now... even if she does unfortunately feel the need to reveal her private life to me ;-)
*Pip*
I loves Pippy and I live in her pocket! This is the girl that is never unhappy and always seems to spread the cheerfullness, and I miss her lots now I dont see her much!!
*Kelly*
Chief fashion and make-up consultant - no one else could be quite so un-subtle and blunt and get away with it! But underneath all of that she really is lovely!
Other special mentions go to:
*Ali* For constantly being completely sweet and genuine! And for all of the random gigs we've been to!
*Lil* For always being herself - honest and fathful to the last. Not fogetting the time we spent sitting on a pavement at NASS! Lol! *Mark* We don't see each other often anymore but he's a lovely guy :-) I luvs him to bits and that will never change. Long live the Tesco Sunday shift workers!!
*Miranda/Gette/Emily* These three girlies are almost all one person but each of them are completely wonderful and lovely in their own right. Gil just wouldnt be the same without them :-)
*Tom G* It's Tom... what more is there to say?! He's just amazing, once you finally get past all the extreme weirdness and understand him. *stroke*
*Alex M* I really hated him when I first met him but it turns out he's actually really sweet n lovely, once you get past all the name-calling!
