Have you met Katie?

Katie and I don't hide our relationship from the interweb, but equally we don't constantly post on each others facebooks or tweet each other. Katie text me the other night (whilst half asleep) saying she wanted to do the boyfriend/girlfriend tag. So here I am on my Sunday afternoon writing this post. 

1. Where did you first meet?

If you want to get all technical Katie and I met when we were toddlers at swimming ;)  But 

we properly met when I was in a school play. The only reason she was there was because GCSE drama groups had to write an essay on the play, which was Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. This has since become one of my favorite pieces of theatre for more reasons than just the script. So I was on stage on and off through out the show and I have noticed this girl sitting in the 3rd row looking at me, and smiling... not great when trying to remember the most important monologue of the whole thing. From there apparently Katie needed 'help' with the essay. This help over facebook and MSN turned into talking to each other at school. 

     2. What was the first thing you noticed about them?

I first noticed Katie's smile and brown leather jacket. Yes I still tell you what she was wearing that night... is that weird? 

    3. How long have you been together?

It was cold at the top hence the many many layers 

We've been together 3 years. 

    4. What's your favorite memory together? 

I don't know if Katie's will be this but, mine is standing at the top of Snowdon in Wales. We had climbed it for the charity Teenage Cancer Trust as part of Katie's youth group. And just being there looking out over Snowdonia was something special to me. 

    5. What is the last date you went on?

We met up after Katie finished Sixth form on Friday, because we needed to catch up and then we went to get something to eat. We went to my favourite little restaurant in Coventry called 'Playwrights'

    6. What has been the funniest thing this boyfriend/girlfriend ever done?

I can't actually pick a thing because Katie has the ability to just say something that is hilarious and not realise she has been funny. 

    7. What is the nicest thing they have ever done for you? 

Again I can't answer this with one occasion. Katie is just genuinely has a really nice personality and does little things like buys me an advent calender, but today she was so helpful with helping me understand some course work that was confusing me. 

    8. What is the thing you find most attractive about them?

I love Katie's smile, it cheers me up on the worst days. Oww and Katie has a very nice bottom... I'm sorry for lowering the tone :P 

   9. If you could change one thing about them what would it be?

Jeezzz this questions is a bit deep haha. Erm I think it would be Katie doesn't switch off very easily, but its also a quality I have learnt to understand... 

   10. What is the thing you are most looking forward to as a couple? 

Plain and simple everything, I know Katie will have something specific but there is so much out there for us to do that I can't pin point anything. We are looking at going away in the summer which will be really fun!! 

I just want to say this, me and Katie argue because having a relationship and balancing A levels and college and not murdering each other is hard. But when you slow down and do something like this and remember the times when you weren't rushing after deadlines and revising for exams. It makes everything worth it!! So if your reading this and thinking me and my girlfriend/boyfriend are arguing and it doesn't feel right at the moment, text them and say lets go out for a coffee or have a date night and turn phones off and pick your favourite film and pig out together. You won't regret it :) 

I love you Katie :) 

So that's my questions answered, I hope I'm not going to be in trouble ;)  Be sure to go and read what Katie said about me here!!

TV and Film of the month

Hello one and all,

I think I've done one blog about films which is embarrassing for someone that enjoys watching so much of it. 

This week I just wanted to talk about the films and TV I've got into the past month.

First things first I know I'm a bit late, but American Hustle how good is this film? I know it was in the cinema but I'm poor student that can't afford the cinema so I wait till it comes onto BT vision because my parents pay for it... I was watching it Tuesday night and the acting in it is just fantastic, it feels like its a low budget film but made really well but then you realise it has Christian Bale and Jennifer Lawerence in and your gripped to every scene. 

Next is Torchwood, again this is going back a bit but I was to young to watch it when it first came out and then it popped up on BT vision so I started watching. I have to admit I am a bit of a Doctor Who geek and Torchwood matches it if not betters it, I'm a person that likes proper thrillers with a bit of violence and a decent story line and what with Doctor Who being on a Saturday Night it lacks those things sometimes. I think I may have to watch all the series now.

One that's actually on telly at the moment is Fargo, now I'm still not decided if I like it or not but that doesn't stop me from being gripped! I have always thought Martin Freeman was a great actor but he really does make the story lines stronger. 

Last but no means least is Viral Tap, if you haven't heard of it where have you been? To give you a brief outline, its You've Been Framed but a bit ruder and a lot more funny. Youtubes Jim Chapman is a regular on the show, which is why I started to watch it but I find Matt Richardson hilarious.

So that's what I'm watching at the moment, If you fancy it Fargo is on Channel 4 at 9pm tonight and Viral Tap is on at 10pm on itv2. Check them out they are really good.

Achey legs but smiles on faces

Hello one and all,

I've mentioned before that I'm taking part in my first sportive (big cycling event), this was quite a big challenge for me because I never really commit to anything, as your reading this I have 3 weeks to go until the day.

At the moment I'm finding it really hard to stick with it and go out and train, don't get me wrong I still love cycling! But as training for the event picks up I just find myself to have achey legs and feeling really down that I don't seem to be improving. Then I look at the cyclist fighting cancer website, which is the charity that are organising the event. I read the stories of the people that aren't much younger than me, that are suffering or are recovering from cancer treatments those stories really put 100km into perspective. 

Now I'm not saying I'm some sort of hero because 1000s of people raise money for charity every day,  but it will be an achievement and  hopefully if I cross the finish line on the 25th I will have achey legs but a huge smile on my face because I know I will have made a difference to other peoples lives
.

I hope this blog wasn't to preachy,  I'll link the charities page here, because they can explain what they do a lot better than I can.
