A week in the life of Dinky Kt.

For the past week and more, I have laid low and sort of kept myself to myself. You might say a hermit, perhaps, although I have left the house on a few occasions. The reason why? I’ve been suffering from a bad chest and it has left me feeling lousy and drained. I just wanted to try and shift it somehow by not over-doing it and taking the right medicines. Anyhow, hopefully I am now on the mend.

I have spent the past week or more, going through a pile of C.V.s as I am going to employ another support worker who will be on cover when my current ones has to go on sick or take holidays so I don’t lose the hours that I’m allocated per week. I only get 7hours at the mo which I’m not too happy about really as my circumstances have changed over the past few years. Plus I don’t think it is fair for a 26/27 year old woman to rely on my parents to take me out etcetera when others my age doesn’t. Although I am very grateful to my parents because they help me out a lot. Getting extra hours depend on the social services so wish me luck in gaining even just one or two extra hours. I know funding is hard to get in the social services so I will be grateful for just a few extra.

It was really difficult deciding who to pick out of so many candidates as they all seemed lovely but unfortunately I can only pick one. I have picked one and will get the ball rolling to set up a meeting and greeting with her to see what she is like. I just hope she likes me and we have plenty to talk about. I am excited but extremely nervous. I will keep you up to date with how it goes.

One day last week, I woke up to a text of my sister telling me that we are going to see Steps. She’s taking me in April and we’re going to have a few girly days in Manchester, hopefully we’ll get to try out Nando’s (see what all the fuss is about!) and plenty of retail therapy! I can’t wait! Maybe I can find a pair of them heel-less shoes that I keep on seeing in the magazines?? That’s if I can get them in Dinky size and the toe section isn’t too heavy to lift ha ha!!

Oh another piece of my news for you - Adam Lambert is coming back to the UK for a one off show with Queen at this years Sonisphere!! Bless, my bestie had been counting down to when the tickets went on sale. The two of us are hoping to go. I have already enquired so need to send off some important documentation back to them. It will be something that the two of us will do together, something special.

You may have noticed that I like to do something special with all of my loved ones, like going to Manchester with my sister, hopefully going to Sonsiphere with my bestie, etcetera. It is my way of showing undivided attention to the person/people involved and to share something we both enjoy together.

Well, this blog post is proving to be a long one as now I have started to fill you in on what’s going on in my life, I cannot stop. Think I will stop right here and carry on recuperating now. Take care peeps and will chat to you soon. xx

Poem - You. Dedicate it to someone who inspires you. Xx

Hi everyone :-)

Just found my old poetry folder and been browsing through it so I thought I would share a poem that stood out to me just now.

As I was reading through it, it somehow made me think of my favourite artist of our time, the lovely Adam Lambert. I know I have talked on a few occasions of how he is an inspiration to me so there is no need for me to explain who he is. Over the past week or more, I've been watching several interviews and performances of him, my poem is a reflection of how he makes me smile.

The poem is called 'You' and I wrote it back in 2003 but tonight, now I dedicate it to Adam and his singing voice. This can be interpreted it to whoever you feel it connects to.

I hope you like it peeps.


You

Since you walked through thst door
You're like a star that shines so bright
People were blinded by your personality
The personality that shows up like a crystal ball
The smile on that face of yours
Which brightens up the world

When the sun goes down
The stars are as bright as a glitter ball
And that special someone who you love
Will be thinking only of you
People who know you
Will cherish and saviour their fondest memories of you
Til death takes upon them

When death takes upon you
You will always be set in our hearts and souls
We will remember you, your personality
And the warmth in your heart
You are never afraid to try something new
Or aim fir your chosen desires and wishes
You are worth more than gold, diamonds
And those precious gems

Now that you know how much you mean to us
We want to appreciate you for coming into our world
Also that we will never forget you
Wherever you float off to, you will always be
In our hearts and souls to stay forever more.


Feel free to let me know what you think peeps. See you soon. Xx

Rambles of Dinky - late at night...

It is the eve of doing something that could be drastic with to do with my appearance. I am not going to tell you what, but I hope it goes to plan! Or otherwise I’ll be wearing disguise ‘til it’s back to normality (well what is normal to me). Wish me luck!

I’ve sent off my readers’ letter to the magazine, haven’t even sent it to my tutor yet but still struggling with this article idea… so far on this course, I have learnt that I am glad I didn’t go ahead with doing a BA in Journalism. Thankfully fate stepped in and saved me from 3 years of struggle and discontentment! I love reading magazines and newspapers, but writing for them is a different subject. I don’t feel I have the knowledge/ right to write about something I’m not trained or taught about. I like my work to be perfect so much prefer to write about things that I actually love, have knowledge about which can be very limited in the world of magazines and newspapers. Stories, poems and more creative pieces are my forte. When I enrolled on the course, I decided to do the non-fiction first so then I'd have the fiction to look forward to and have the more difficult out of the way but it is taking me forever. There is a light at the end of the tunnel - just a shame it's a very long tunnel!

This past week, I’ve been so excited about Adam Lambert’s new music video since it was premiered on the 3^rd February. The song is about the two sides of being human: meaning where you struggle to find the balance of the dark side or light side. Sometimes they can conflict with one another. Then again, the two sides can’t live without each other. I know for myself, people pay me compliments and I’ve been through some stuff in my time yet I find myself fighting against all of it. I often bring myself down by my demons, there’s a lyric that I love ‘…it’s heaven underneath my skin but it’s hell out here…‘ sometimes I feel the opposite of this. I hope I haven’t gone off track as I’m trying to explain my interpretation and how I feel myself. Do you get what I mean? Personally, I think Adam looks great too in the video. Love how well he plays the part of both light Adam and dark Adam, maybe that is to do with how he totally relates to him. I really can’t wait for the album to come out, Trespassing.

  (the album cover - someone has said it's like the Twilight (film) mysterious and dark like a vampire... what do you reckon?)

By the sounds of what I’ve heard, we’re going to have a great insight into who Adam is and it will be a fascinating journey to follow. Adam is definitely a true artist in his own right, following what lies in his heart and being true to himself. I just hope the UK is ready for him and his incredible voice! In every interview I have seen of him, he is always so charming, polite and honest. He appears to be humble and I truly hope he gets the success in the UK as he much deserves it. Maybe more than any other male artist of our time. Fingers crossed that he will go on tour later this year and I am certain I will be going to see him. I for one has definitely got Glambert Fever and I hope that you all do too or will do soon. Have a look at the link of his video and see what you think.
