A tale of life...

Wow, so much has happened since my last post! I don't even know where to begin!

The snow melted, taking away the beautiful winter wonderland that I'd grown so accustomed to (and the welly wearing weather!) Christmas flew by too! Christmas was quite wonderful, I love christmas time mostly because it bring the whole family together to indulge in the festive spirits... oh and there's also the case of getting some lovely presents too!

So after Christmas was over and everyone was in the process of gorging themselves on left over chocolates, I found myself in a weird situation. I don't even know how to describe it. Well, if you've read my blog for a long time you'll know the story of 'Lover Boy'. Well he seemed interested all the way up to Christmas and to be honest I was warming to him, that's the honest truth. But then I start to get the feeling something wasn't right, he seemed quite interested with my friend, he kept mentioning her. In the end I was just like, so do you like her? I mean, she was single and everything so it was fine, I suppose. But I honestly didn't think he'd replied "Yeah, I like her."

His answer made me feel... strange. My heart started to beat faster, I felt sort of angry, sort of upset but all the while scolding myself because what right did I have to feel like that? I had no right at all. None. And it's bothering me even now... not as much but I have this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach and it won't go away. Feel free to tell me how stupid I'm being. I all ready know.

So I've just focused on line learning, watching Audrey in Sabrina and Grace Kelly in High society to take my mind off everything... ah winter movies <3

I hope you've all had a happy new year! And a good Christmas! And next time I shall inform you that I may have completed one of my more shallow goals in life... can someone say Serena Van Der Woodsen Hair?

Please comment :)

P.S I'm absolutely loving this song at the minute

Walking in a winter wonderland.

So today was a fun one. Since the arrival of the snow (and after our week off school because of it) everyday seems to be a good one. Today one of my friends had to film a few shots for her media project; to make a music video. This excited us to know end. So we ventured, out into the ice and glistening snow to a secluded spot behind the sixth form block, a good long patch of grass that was covered by a foot of snow.

Now of course it didn't start off as a very productive outing as we almost ended up reinacting the 'last christmas' video whilst my friend was planning her shots, in fact a few verses o the song may have been sung whilst we skipped about... There's something about the snow that seriously reverts you to being about seven years old. So after prancing around like idiots, making snow angels (well one of us) and singing to our hearts content the shooting began.

The story of the music video is a classic boy meets girl, they have fight, they kiss and make up. The shooting went well and it looks really cute all in all : ') I can't wait to see it fully finished.

I"m feeling so in the christmas mood although I really need to get all my presents bought! (I never know what to get people!) In the mean time here's a cheesy christmas song to tide you over....

Oh the weather outside is frightful....

I love snow! I've always loved snow since I was little, it feels special. For some reason it makes me feel safer too, like a white security blanket. Unfortunately we don't tend to get much snow around here. There was the freaky incident in January that seen us have more snow than ever before but this past week has to take the prize. We've had the astounding moment of waking up and seeing nothing but white flakes falling around us (snow is falling, all around us do do do) and as much as everyone might complain about it I LOVE IT!

Here are a few pictures of my street and back garden to give you a taste of the snow. It probably doesn't look a lot to some of you but for us it's pretty amazing :)

The snow is much deeper now after a couple of more days of snowfall, it's unbelievable!

In keeping with the snowy theme, I went to see White Christmas at the theatre yesterday. It was wonderfully wonderful! I'd never actually seen the original Bing Crosby film so I went in with a completely open mind. I adored the story as simple as it was and the singing, dancing and acting were all absolutely flawless. It really put me in the mood for Christmas!

Here's to wishing for a white Christmas :)

7 Things...

Hello everyone!

First of all I'd like to say a big thank you to Kate for giving me the 'Stylish Blogger Award'. I feel very honoured!!

So here's what it's all about...

  

           The Award's Rules:

Thank the person who gave you the award. 

 Tell 7 facts about yourself.

Give the award to 7 bloggers you just love.

Leave the 7 bloggers a comment telling them they won.

so now I guess it's time to tell you 7 things about me...

1) I am an Audrey Hepburn Fanatic! Audrey is and will always be my idol. She inspires my love of drama, my sense of style and my love of classic movies. If I had to pick only one film that I could watch for the rest of my life it would most certainly either be breakfast at Tiffany's or Sabrina. Also I find her work as a unicef ambassador truly inspiring :) Audrey <3 Now and forever. 

2) I'm a hopeless romantic. It makes no sense considering there is little romance within my life but then again that might explain everything. Whether it's in books or films and most of tales f real life romance it just makes my heart melt. 

3) My family and friends mean the world to me. They make me who I am and I love them utterly and completely. I don't think this one takes much explaining.

4) I'm a book freak. I could literally take books instead of oxygen. I love the escape they provide and the way a good book can completely change your mood or even change your view on the world. The power of Literature astounds me. Writing is the same for me. I love to write stories, mostly of things I'd like to read myself or things I wish would happen. Escapism at it's greatest. 

5)  I'm pretty sure Hollywood has brain washed me into believing in the happy endings their film's provide. It's silly and probably a little dangerous but I do still have faith in a sparkly Hollywood happy ending for my life although I've got the whole film to look forward to before that :) 

6) I was born on Christmas day - people seem to find this interesting. It always feels weird though because it doesn't feel like my birthday because it's CHRISTMAS! Maybe one day it'll fully feel like my birthday but who knows. 

7) 7 is my favourite number in the world. I don't know if it's the whole lucky number seven thing but I think I just like the sound of it. It reminds me of comfort and security. Also I remember 7 being a good age as odd as that sounds.  Also there is 7 Harry Potter books... that's always got to be a plus. 

Hope you enjoyed those random facts!

Now onto the tagging!

The wonders of Drama.

Hey everybody!

Well a lot has happened since my last post drama wise...

*Beauty and the beast was a huge success! There were moments when we really thought it wasn't going to come together but as the saying goes, it was all right on the night. I grew so close to all of the cast, we became like a little family that we were all sad to let go of. Luckily, auditions for the next play are in two weeks! So I'm very excited.

*For my drama A Level we are staging a production of Our Country's Good. It's a really wonderful play about the first convict fleet to arrive in Australia and how they put on a play and the relationships between convicts and officers. I'm playing Mary, which is one of the main parts... I was ecstatic when I found that out! :)

*Also on a bigger scale, a student theatre company in the region are going to be putting on As you like it. Auditions also next week and I really want to audition but I'm SO nervous! - I'm just going to push myself, it's worth a try isn't it?

Sorry if my drama talk bores you but I just love acting! It lets you escape and tell other peoples story in a unique way... I just love it ♥

In other news I can't stop listening to Pixie Lott's version of "Forget You" . I think I over did it on the replay button :)



I'll hopefully write again soon :)

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!
