The Suddenly Kate Show

Ok, I guess you are all wondering what the begging post title is for? You see, some of you may remember that I said in April I was doing a blogging challenge, and I have been (we have 4 days left!) and it has been a lot of fun. But the organisers are all expecting us to be good enough writers to have lured in 100 followers. I have managed 79 up to now.  Seeing as about 2 of you decided to follow my writer blog too, by my calculations at least, that leaves 42 more people who could follow me? Maybe?? I'll be good. I have bribes!

The thing is, I would really like to meet the target. I don't expect you to read it, just follow me for the next 4 days - as soon as May starts feel free to unfollow me. I mean it. And I promise never to ask you for anything else again.

I thought that I might get a better response with bribes, and the only bribes I have are photo's of New York City (I finally went last week!). I can't post all of them as I doubt you have the time or desire to root …

After yesterdays overly long post, I have decided to keep this one nice and short.


Why this job.

I am not entirely sure if I would like to do this because I love the violin or because I would love to play any instrument. The Violin is the one I have gone for, of course this isn't because it begins with a 'V'! I do like the sound of the Violin, and I loved that film with Meryl Streep about the Violin teacher (Music of the Heart), and my sister had a few lessons many moons ago, and my great uncles used to play the Violin. Is that reason enough? I'm not sure but I would settle for anything.


Why would I be good at this job?

I really haven't thought this through, have I? I like going to barn dances. I love Treme. I also enjoy the theatre, concerts and romantic walks!! Seriously, I would definitely apply myself when it came to practising. No, seriously.


Why I wouldn't be good at this job?

Erm, a lot of standing up at barn dances, and possible arm ache and what about tennis…

If you have read this far then you haven't given up on me, you didn't abandon all hope at Obituarist...this to me is a very similar job to event planner, no? I think its the celebration of life, i think it is an important time and needs to be special.


I came up with these jobs pre-April and am stuck with them! I thought that maybe I would prefer to be an upholsterer (I would love to learn how to do that, what would be better than being able to upholster your own furniture?) and then I googled jobs yesterday and it came up with suggestions such as underwear model (definitely not in my future) and urologist, and I thought of understudy all on my own (relates to 'A' post). I am trying to remember what originally made me select this other than pure desperation. But I think it is linked to my worse thing in the world thing. What?! What am I talking about? Well, there is one thing that is guaranteed to make me cry (might draw on it when I am an ACT-OR, ha!) and is the worse p…

Ok, T is for Tits Up! Because that is what happened to my K blog when scheduling messed up and deleted it. Well, I mentioned to a friend to read the K post and it ended up being waffle instead, so as a bonus here it is in all its...ahem...glory! Don't worry, I kept it short.

K is for ...


Why this job?I don’t know what made me choose Kickboxer, yes there aren’t that many other careers beginning with K but what about something less aggressive like Kindergarten teacher? Maybe there are a few kindergarten teachers who might disagree with me on that one, But I think my interest in the sport stems from a juvenile infatuation with the film Bloodsport! Yes, that great classic starring the Oscar winning actor Jean-claude Van Damme. What?! He didn’t win an Oscar for that!!! There is no justice. I don’t know what sold it for me, whether it was the blood, the near death, the  hairy biker bloke or those splits he did but that film was (for a while) my go to movie. I used to dream of winning an …

I feel that I need to add a disclaimer from this point onwards, and that is that I am suffering from Blogging Burnout. Not from writing the posts, as most were done before the start, but keeping up with checking out new ones and commenting...so I am taking this opportunity to implore to you (those people who read this!) please, please, please recommend any great blogs or blog posts of note to me (see page 'Recommended Blogs' and I will  add to my recommends. I think its the best way to do it, I have tried to be fair and visited blogs directly after me, at the start and at the end and also those with interesting blog names, but I still have so many to get through. There are some people out there who haven't been getting the attention they deserve (check out those post 1500) and the best thing we can do is pool our resources. So lets get recommending! Now back to the blog writing...ooh! my head hurts!...



Why this job?Do you remember Life Coaching? Well, I think this is simila…

Why do I want to be a singer?I want to be able to sing as opposed to being a recording artist. I used to work with someone and she was married to a musician and she always said she could sing. She was originally from Wales (and all welsh people can sing, right?) and so I believed her, when I asked why she didnt sing she replied that she enjoyed singing for herself. Once she let me listen to a recording she had made. All I can say is 'Wow!' she could really sing. her voice didnt sound anything like her speaking voice and I have since seen video of her singing and yes, that is definitely her voice.  At lot of people on these talent shows talk about how they love to sing and they want to share their gift with the world. She could sing and was happy to keep it to herself. Over time though she has begun singing more and more. I often wonder what changed. Was it a lack of confidence that made her not want to share her voice with others? But her personality would say otherwise.  I si…

Ok, brace yourselves, you are in for a real treat this lovely Friday in April...what is it?...only the sound of my "sweet" voice! I recorded an intro for my radio show should it ever exist and it won't happen again! But for those who are curious and want to put a sound to these words...here it is!




I could only get it to work if I made it into a YouTube vid. Anyway, back to business people!
Why this job?My desire to become a radio dj stems from my love of music. I like all varieties (pretty much) and I love new music. I can think of nothing better than listening to music all day and getting paid for it. I understand that there are some other things that you have to do, and admittedly it isnt as easy as I thought. You don't want to know how many attempts it took to get this recorded!
Why I would be good at this job.I am passionate about music and I would like to believe that I could relay this through my "show". I hate adverts that interrupt songs so you would …

Why this job? There aren't that many jobs that begin with the letter Q. The first one that came to mind for me was 'Quiz Master'. As much as I love a good quiz, I think it would become quite monotonous after awhile and I have had my fair share of monotonous jobs. Admittedly, a quaintrelle is not exactly a job but in this day and age people (think reality TV stars) make careers out of doing nothing but it sounds so nice.  I consider this more a job than a career, and for me or someone like me this is a challenging prospect. And by someone like me I mean someone who has about 10 items or less in their wardrobe and have had the same 10 items or less for about the last 10 years. Finely dressed might be a stretch but co-ordinating an outfit with accessories and making it look effortless is definitely something I aspire too. I like to use my size an excuse but I always notice bigger women who are dressed well and admire them for having that fashion confidence that I crave. I als…

Evening!! I hope you didn't think I had forgotten :o, but from today I will be writing "live" posts! And yes, I am back in the UK.
Why this job?Thinking of a career that began with the letter 'P' was quite difficult for me. There are so many great P careers. Whilst I was away, I had it in my mind that although I had decided on all the careers for each letter, I had not yet written the letters P to Z. I thought about trying to quickly write it on the flight back but I couldn't remember which career I had gone with. I was stuck..it could have been Psychiatrist  or maybe even Paediatrician. I convinced myself that it wasn't those two. I should say that psychology of course fascinates me - how the mind works, why we are how we are, but as a child from the ages of about 8 until 19, I wanted to be a Paediatrician. But I knew I hadn't chosen these and the only other career I could think of was Puppeteer!! There was a brief spell when I toyed with the idea of…

Why this job?
I am not obsessed with dead people, I don’t see ghosts or anything (well, only the once), but for as long as I can remember I have always read the obituaries in the local newspaper and occasionally in the broadsheets.  I don’t know that I know where this fascination has stemmed from. But I am interested in both the short ones – I tend to compare the ages of people dying  - and also the lengthy ones on the broadsheets that tell you everything and their inside leg measurement. 
Why I would be good at this job.I love to find out about people, their stories, where they are from, how they came to be the person that they are. More research! Which if you are visiting for the first time, this is something I rather enjoy :) I am succint, and like to keep everything short and to the point....you don't believe me? I'm shocked. Work-wise I like to be as succint as possible to avoid confusion among my babbling. Its more professional ;)

Why a neurosurgeon?I have to confess that my desire to be a neurosurgeon stemsfrom my desire for power. Ok, well I am not exactly pwer hungry but whatattracts me to this career is the position of respect and subsequent power thatcomes with it. How intelligent must I be to do this? How trustworthy must I beto do this? I would literally hold people lives in my hands and their brains. Why would I be good at this job.I am interested in the sciences and like to think that Ihave an aptitude for it (Physics grad, don’t you know!) I like people – remember? I want to help others in my chosen career (honourable or cheesy?You decide). The brain and how it works does completely fascinate me andso I would be very passionate about it. I don’t mind blood and gore, I like watching operations onTV. Or rather, if they’re on TV I will watch them, I can’t say I ever look forthem though. I always wear a coat, and I mean ALWAYS, whether it is -4 or45degrees Celsius – a white one would be ok. I can remain calm un…

Why this job?Quite frankly, who doesnt want this job? If this is your job then I bow down to your greatness. 

Why I would be good at this job.I love to watch films, love love love it. I will watch almost all genres except Horror. I love to watch the same actor in a variety of roles. I never get bored. I don't mind repeats.

Why I wouldn't be good at this job.I love to be entertained, so acting doesnt need to be life changing, storyline doesnt need to make me think and comedy doesnt have to be side splitting. So I could have a lot of controversial ratings. 

Do you think your opinions of movies are completely independent or do you sometimes find yourself rating a film better if you really enjoyed another film by the same director or with the same actors? Who is your favourite 'unexplained' actor? For example, I love Adam Sandler and I cant explain why, I don't find him all that funny, his voice is monotone and he isn't exactly  a pretty boy - but if he is in the film…
