On names etc.

My parents have thing for french names. They must do. I mean they called me sister Chantal, from the french chante (to sing) (and after searching her name it could come from aword meaning “stony place” lol) and they called me Catherine, which according to Behind the name is the french variant of Katherine. Which is stupid as my name is SO much better with a C at the beginning :P Anyway, apparently there’s alot of famous Catherines: including 2 saints and two emperess’ and some queens. Ha. Also it means pure, yet it could come from a greek word that means torture! Also searched for my alias:


which is slighlty wierd but still kinda cool. My other alias Kahori (Kaori) is better (click for full):

And then I figured if you were writing a book you could randomly browse that website and find all sorts of names from various languages. Perhaps that’s what some authors secretly do? You know, the ones who always have these AMAZINGLY named characters. also it seems alot of names are very alike, or derive from this or that… quite intersting. But you should all know by now that I’m fascinated by language(s).

As for other matters, well had my first exam yesterday. Went terribly. They asked all the stuff I didn’t know or wasn’t sure about. Yes I know I should have known everything but come on with eight questions you’d think there’s the possibility of them asking one where you go “Yes! I know this competly because despite what my parents think I HAVE revised!”. Hmm.. a little dissapointed- perhaps. RE was the one subject I desperatly wanted an A* in. Guess that’s impossible now.

Tommorow I have music. I know I’m gonna do badly, but that’s OK. I don’t care much about music anyways. I want to get a C or D on the test and then let my course work bump it up to B or C respectibly. Same with my systems exam, as long as I get about an D or C I could get C or B because of my coursework.

The only subjects I want to do well in are: RE, Maths, English and sciences. That’s practicaly all but music and systems!

OK. My life is pretty dull so there’s no need for me to blog about anything else. Kinda tired, and bored as hell you know? So… bai bai for now.

To link back to earlier posts I did go see speedracer and it was actually really cool!

Damn

Good news:
MIYAVI COMING TO LONDON!!!
Friends who’d go with me: (possibly) one (yay!)

Bad news:
Train ticket: (if booked now) £31
Concert Ticket: £28.60
Hotel for night: (this may be neccesary, unless I get a really late train which would bump up train ticket price) £48
Parents response: NO (I don’t need to ask really. I know they won’t let me. )

This just makes me so depressed. To think there is a gig I could go to of an artist I reasonably like yet, once again, due to money and parents I can’t. Fuck. So sad :(

(Damn, this would have been the best thing for my birthday. I could even stay in London for the night and go shopping the next day! BUT no… )

(And they would probably say yes to my sister if she asked for something like this, or eventually give in after saying no)
