Once upon a time......

Once upon a time in a not so far away land a girl sat in her room reading 'the book of tomorrow' and wishing something that magical would happen to her. She had no prince charming but she did have some newly purchased winter accessories that brightened her day as she had learned the boy on the white horse wasn't going to get here anytime soon....


Ah, fairytales. I used to love them so much as a kid, part of me still does but I've only recently thought about how misleading they are! They tell all little girls that they need a prince to rescue them and all the best girls get their prince. Which is very sad in a way. I know they're only fairy stories but they make such a big impression when you're little. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a cynic, I'm just sitting patiently waiting for my happy ending or more like happy beginning.

My favourite fairytale was always sleeping beauty, especially the Disney version..... prince Philip was smooth!



I have lots more news to tell you in my next post :)
Thanks or reading ! :)

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air

Stress. It's a funny funny thing. This week has been revolved around raising money for charity; who knew it could be so hard?! SO basically I've been rushing around like a headless chicken and receiving abuse whilst trying to sell charity merchandise. I don't understand people sometimes.

Ignorance. This has nearly driven me to breaking point today. My English Literature teacher has taken to ignoring me; like literally, I try very hard, I'm polite and I've always had good relationships with all of my teachers. However this one seems to deny my existence. Every question I answer is wrong. All my essays aren't good enough. She'll happily converse to my two fellow drama geeks about drama and how well they're doing but she'll not even give me a glance. She observed our drama lesson today and then she taught us in the afternoon, giving my two friends detailed praise and completely brushing me off. What can I possibly be doing wrong? As silly as it sounds this has been building up for weeks and I was so upset by it today I almost let a tear slip - yes I know how ridiculous that sounds.

Kissing. I've never been kissed. It's so embarrassing to admit at my age. However it has been revealed the part I will be playing in the next play I am in will require kissing my friend several times. I know it's stage kissing and it's different but it's still kissing. I don't know how I feel about my first ever kiss being staged; it just doesn't seem right. Will it be awkward? Who knows... but I'm nervous.

It's been a bad week everybody.

I just pray it gets better.

Thank you for reading!

Exciting times.

No particular reason for this - I just thought it was pretty :) 
So lately the most exciting thing that has happened was finally getting my hands on a copy of mini shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella (Which is more than fabulous in case you were wondering!) but other than that I've been bogged down by essay after essay after essay and now I'm thoroughly sick of analysing poetry. Although through these monstrous assignments I have discovered a love for Keats. I just love the way he describes things, so beautifully, now I realise why it was called the romantic era, he makes everything sound so lovely and passion filled.

Although I'm beginning to doubt romantic passion exists. Ok, ok, I know, I'm only 16 (nearly 17 mind...) and there's plenty of time to experience those feelings but everyone else seems to know all about them. I have never felt strongly about anyone in that way, yes I've had crushes, one quite large crush but none that made me REALLY feel anything. Is there something wrong with me?

It just makes me more confused when Lover Boy keeps going on at me as well. Maybe I should just go out with him? Maybe I should just settle? Maybe then I'd feel SOMETHING?

Oh, this is all so terribly confusing :(
Any advice would be much appreciated

Spring Awakening!

Oh wow. Oh wow! OH WOW! I may have mentioned a few times that my friends were involved in a local production of spring awakening but I could not have imagined how spectacular it was going to be! The story was so beautiful and heartfelt and the music was unbelievable. I loved every minute of this amazing show!

I must apologise AGAIN for being such a bad blogger but sixth form is a lot of work - I had to write 5 essays tonight :( So please don't desert me, I'm still here going strong and I have so much to share with you guys! In the mean time enjoy this taste of  spring awakening - the broadway version :)





Please comment! :)
