Wooooow...

Hey :)
So I just went through some of my old posts on here and I am cringing to the max. I was such a bitch a few years ago, wow.
It's like finding one of my old diaries from about 3 years ago (which I did the other day... Jeez), I swear, when I was 14 I was obsessed with the opposite sex and everything to do with love and gossip. Dude, I was shallow XD
Some of them don't even make any sense, I mean there was something in there about detention? I don't even remember having a detention... well, I've had detention but I don't remember getting one in Year 9. Oh well. I was such a little shit it's unbelievable. Oh, You can go and read the archive of my posts if you want but you may just cringe to death lol.
I should be revising History right now, but posting on here seemed a whole lot more interesting. I swear, I'm going to fail History so badly on Tuesday - The only remotely interesting thing I know about Hitler is that he molested his Niece... Nice going Adolph.
Most people seem to be finishing their exams this week, I don't finish until two weeks tomorrow o____O. EFFORT, Oh well, It's worth it apparently.
I never ever ever have to do Maths ever again :D So ludicrously happy (I bet you thought Ludicrously Tasty then for a second, If you're British that is. Don't lie! :P)
So I'm going to go and attempt to learn about Hitler and not go on the computer *no promises*

Exam Stress and What not.

So helloooo :)

I keep meaning to do a blog post but never get 'round to it. But, I'm typing now :)

So GCSEs have started in the UK and they've hit me. hard. It's not so much having a lot of exams that is stressing me, It's the lack of revision. Now I know that's my fault but I can't seem to get my mind in gear. Oh well, It's only the rest of my life ;)

I'm going to try and blog for most days from now on, I know that seems unlikely but I'll try :D

We had our last day of full time education (well, until September, I'm going back for 6th Form) and it was actually quite emotional (I said quite) for the most part despite the fact I can't wait to get rid of those sods.

Me looking like a dork in the middle. Surrounded by my bitches.
Oh, what else has happened? OH YEAH, I met James and Oliver Phelps!!!!! AKA Gred and Forge! They were so ridiculously nice and lovely and just THEM! They signed a photo of them for me :D
They've touched that!
Anyway, I've run out of things  to talk about
BYE!

It's... Thursday?

Hey :)
Long time no speak, about 6 weeks? I can only apologise >< Stuff has been going on and yeah... But I'm back now! So hi!

So things have started taking off on Youtube now (By taking off, I mean I have 70 subscribers, not that impressive no, but I am loving making videos :D ). If you want to take a look then click here, If you don't then don't. Whatever.

Since my last post I have turned 16 and I must say, being 16 isn't as amazing as I'd have hoped. I haven't been to any raving sex parties yet nor have I dropped out of school, In fact, I still have yet to buy my first lottery ticket. It honestly doesn't feel that special.

Also I performed in my school's production of Back to the 80's, I played Eileen and got to sing one of my favourite songs "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. Overall it was a great show and I'm really missing the cast and crew!

Action shot. FYI, I'm the one on the end singing like a loony


As for the NaNo novel, It never actually got finished >< I'm still working on it, but ho hum.

So I wanted to talk to you today about Rebecca Black, Y'know, That kid who sings "Friday friday gotta get down on friday" and uses the age old question "Which seat can I take?". Sure it's a cheesy song but I think some people are taking it too far.
I simply can't function if my friend is by my left.
Okay, so the lyrics aren't great, and the singing could be better but take away the auto-tune and she actually has some talent, don't believe me? go and watch this unplugged version sure, its not completely trained but her voice has potential. Also, I would like to add that she didn't write the song, nor did she decide what the video would be about, nor did she mix the song. She just got offered the opportunity to sing her own pop song and like any 13 year old girl would, she took it. I don't believe that she deserves all this hate because of something she chose to do. It's not like she chose to kill someone or like she chose to take drugs, she just chose to sing a song. Fair enough, It's not the greatest musical achievement but people seem to be forgetting, music doesn't have to always be serious, it can be silly and stupid but can still make people want to listen. People are attacking her simply because she is there to be attacked and seems vulnerable because of her age, say Muse released Friday, would they get all this hate? probably not. It seems that no matter what the song would be about, she could not win. If it were about boy troubles, people would be telling her that she is too young and silly to be dealing with that, If it were about politics, people would say that she is too young to understand any of it. It's not like she's trying to be the next Britney Spears or Miley Cyrus. I also think it is disgraceful people telling a 13 year old to go kill herself. People don't understand what effect their actions could actually have. How guilty would they feel if she actually killed herself? Teenagers have enough on their minds without having thousands of people telling you to jump under a bus.

Anyway, rant over.
Talk soon x

Hello Chummies, It's been a while

Hello darlings :)

I know I haven't posted in a while but school came back and bit me and retakes and coursework and ARGH!
*breath*
So what has happened recently? WELL...
Russell Kane, Before the fit hair happened
Last Friday (Feb 4th) I saw Russell Kane live at The Stables in MK and he was bloody hilarious. His opening act was Ed Gamble - He was funny too, I had seen him on the extended Russell Howard's Good News once and he was really funny, really glad that I got to see him as well as Russell Kane.
Russell Kane's act mainly consists of jokes about his family and growing up in a council estate, which makes for a lot of humour and a lot of the jokes are about his Dad, but while we were laughing at all the jokes, Russell dropped the bombshell at the very end of the act - His father is infact dead, which leads to you feeling very guilty about laughing about all these things but then you remember, He is laughing about his Father (not about his death, but in general) so you don't feel as guilty, It was such a great evening and much of the time before the show started was with Eve people watching and trying to remember the name of Pete Sutcliffe's wife from Gavin and Stacey (It's Dawn by the way, Eve remembered when we were queueing to get ice-cream lol)
Me and the less good Emily :P
This Friday was spent at my birthday party, which turned out to be a lovely evening and I got a lot of great presents including some dosh and some Toy Story 3 Silly Band (YAY). It was a pretty hilarious evening and it completely wiped me out, I was exhausted by the end haha. Shout out to everyone who came to my party and made it a great night =D (BTW, my birthday is on Tuesday, just to get a few things straight. I'mma be 16 :P)

Recently things on my YouTube channel have been taking off (and by taking off I mean, I now have more than 10 subscribers lol) and I'm really starting to get into it, I am also part of a collab channel called Slytherdork so if you want to sub there too it'd be appreciated

Right, that's more or less everything up to speed
Post soon

The Paramore Situation

As you all should know, Paramore are my favourite band and are incredibly important to me, not just musically but also as role models - Especially Hayley - She is my idol and I can't stress enough how important this blog post is for me.


I love them so much =3
I heard my first Paramore song back in mid-2008, that song was "Hallelujah" (and is to date, my favourite Paramore song). I was instantly hooked, that was also the year that Twilight came out, I saw the movie and instantly picked out Hayley Williams' voice and Josh Farro shredding guitar - don't say that Twilight is the reason I am a fan, because IT IS NOT. Twilight simply fuelled my love for them. Now, up until about September 2009, I wasn't really a massive fan; I mean, I liked them and listened to them on a regular basis but I wasn't a full on parawhore yet. Then, Brand New Eyes and Ignorance were released and I fell head over heels in love - Literally, In Love. I felt like I knew them, like I could relate to their songs and like I belonged in their fandom. I admired Hayley, I would also say I fell in love with her too - She is different, talented and quirky.
As you all know, This year was the first opportunity I got to see them live, I got tickets on the day they were released (9:02am exactly. They were released at 9:00am :P) and I was stoked to see them. That evening I was on Formspring, when a question popped up saying "Why do you like Paramore if you hate Christians". Now, It is a well known fact that the members of Paramore are all religious and also is a known fact that I really am not, I responded to this saying that I didn't hate Christians, I just happened to not be one myself. This went on all evening (I know exactly who this was by the way, They were just jealous that I got tickets and they didn't), I wasn't going to give up defending my right to be a fan and listen to their music, and wasn't going to stop defending their music - I know that some of their songs have a religious message, and I know that, I listen to them anyway because I remember reading a quote a while back from Josh Farro saying "Our faith is very important to us. It's obviously going to come out in our music because if someone believes something, then their world view is going to come out in anything they do. But we're not out here to preach to kids, we're out here because we love music". The fact that I was still getting abuse from this individual on the matter a few days later led me to delete my formspring account and I NEVER disable accounts on websites due to abuse. I think this shows how dedicated I am to the band.
So I went to see them with two of my closest friends about a month ago at the O2 arena and I can honestly say it was the best night of my life, I laughed, nearly passed out on several occasions and sang along with nothing but love and devotion towards the five people on stage. This turned on my obsession, ever since everything I do, say, tweet and update about has been Paramore. Hayley Williams - I can't even begin to say how much of an inspiration and a role model she is to me, I literally would probably go suicidal if she were to die - THAT is how much I love her! (creepy maybe, but her voice is amazing and she seems like a lovely girl in general and she knows how much of a role model she is to young women across the globe), And this isn't because she "leads" the band because she doesn't! I would also like to add that I have a full on crush on Taylor York ('cus that's important).
Then on Saturday, I had just finished watching Harry Potter DH1 (You'll be getting a blog like this about Harry Potter in July, Don't you worry XD) with my cousin when I got a text from Chris (who I went to Paramore with) saying:" Josh and Zac have left Paramore!! :(" I responded with: "WTF?!!"
Now I'm not going to say that I didn't see this coming, because I somehow had a feeling something was going to happen. Especially when I heard that they were taking a year off. but it hurt. A LOT. I mean, It was like having your family split up (I have no actual experience of this at all so yeah, but thats the nearest thing I have ever had)
I read Hayley's announcement and kinda took it like "oh, that's cool. I guess there's nothing I can do" and left it at that. I was really rather sad and depressed but there was nothing I could do.
Then, this evening I read a blogspot post from "Josh and Zac". It explained the real reason why they left and how bad things were in the band. I really wasn't sure what to believe, whether it was legit or not. But about 2 hours ago, Jill Striffler posted a video from Josh himself explaining that the blog was from them.
I was shell shocked, like seriously. I was hurt, upset, confused. It felt like I was watching my best friends argue and there was nothing I could do to save the friendship. I still am not quite sure how I felt about the situation.
However, I do want to say one thing that immediately came to mind. If Josh and Zac were so unhappy with everything - Then why didn't they back out when they could. That's all I'm saying. I also think that Hayley should have approached the "official announcement" in a different way.
Other than that, I am staying completely unbiased in this situation. I don't want to... I don't even know. I just can't write it.
I just want to say that I will NEVER stop supporting Paramore, OR stop looking up to Hayley. They will ALWAYS be my favourite band and I still listen to their music with pride.
I support Josh and Zac and look forward to what they do next, who knows, maybe they will form a band. Or maybe Josh and Jenna will have kids. I also look forward to what the three of them (Hayley, Jeremy and Taylor) produce because I know they are working on a new album next and I know they will continue to give us beautiful music


My exact feelings at the moment <3


Keep rocking and don't loose your faith

Remember when I said new blog every friday? About that...

Hey :)

Hope you all liked my little rick roll down there... sure gave me a thrill *is an internet geek*
right, things that have happened... Oh yes!
Best Paramore picture in history no?

On November 23th I saw Paramore, fucking hell... Best gig in the history of gigs, and that is no means exaggerating. I went with 2 of my best mates and they enjoyed it too XD, I was dead the next day and as is tradition I had to buy a t-shirt :). We got into the 02 and managed to see B.o.B (who was surprisingly good) and we knew that there were two support bands (No idea what happened to the first, we kinda concluded that they were playing WITH B.o.B) and so after B.o.B we thought, Oh, there's one more support band - we've got time to go get a hot dog and judge them. So the lights went down, Both Chris and Frankie had bought hot dogs and Frankie had a water bottle (which had no cap because apparantly we're gonna throw stuff at Hayley Williams, I would never throw anything other than myself at her... lol, and you probably think I'm kidding). So yeah, we were sitting there and the lights went down, the music started and we were like "oh, they aren't too bad" Then 4 spotlights went onto the curtain and we were like HOLY SHIT, THATS PARAMORE! So Frankie and Chris had to literally down the hotdogs and Frankie had to try and drink a bottle of water in a few seconds before I nearly collapsed of being starstruck (again, you probably think I'm kidding, Hayley came out for Airplanes and I nearly had a seizure)


In other news, I failed NaNoWriMo *high five* XD I got to 20,000 words though. Better than no words at all.
*fangirlsqueeeel*

Also... I SAW DEATHLY HALLOWS :) *spoiler alert!*
Personally I thought it was the best movie so far (apart from Goblet of Fire obviously) I mean, it was amazing!
I loved the beginning when they were all getting ready for the war and they showed Hermione obliviating her parents (they could have used the same actors from COS but that's me just being picky XD) and was I the only one who preferred Hedwigs death in the movie than the book? Far more heroic in my opinion lol. The thing about David Yates... He doesn't include stuff in previous movies, then in the next movie, he acts like he did - This frustrates me deeply, Like the wedding, Oh my god it was like "theres a wedding?". Seriously, I could feel half the people around me who haven't read the book going, holy shit... We've only just been introduced to Bill, And he's getting married?
Now, the Harry-Hermione dance scene... I LOVED IT! That's all I'm saying, it was funny and lovingly awkward.
Godrics Hollow, HOLY SHIT! It was so damn scary! although, when Harry/Hermione says "I told you we should have used polyjuice potion" I had to blurt out "That's because in the book... You did!". Bathilda Bagshot was absolutely spot on! It was brilliant! So scary and if theres one thing David Yates is FANTASTIC at, it is creating tension, You know that the snake is going to jump out, but you don't know when.
The Silver Doe is arguably one of my favourite Chapters in Harry Potter so I was interested to see how it would pan out, and I was not at all disappointed. It was absolutely spot on and exactly how I imagined it happening - I must say, when Ron was confronted by the horcurx, I pictured it to look a little more... Angelic if you know what I mean, But it was still more or less spot on. I thought that Harry and Hermione making out naked kind of added to the jealousy so I had no problem with it... Aparantly Rupert Grint had to watch it being filmed and couldn't stop laughing.
Dobby's death, Most sad part of any Harry Potter film... Ever! I nearly cried (call me cold hearted but I can't cry at films, trust.) and that means, it was sad - Even though he did look like ET when he got buried... right?
Anyway, It was a great film and yeah... It was good XD


Gonna round this off now.
Peace <3
