I am disgusted and appalled by the thoughtless behaviour that happened today in London. Why can’t people (of any age) perceive that a peaceful protest is more respected and useful towards it’s cause then a violent one.

These riots, pictures and words spoken by individuals are exactly the opposite to how the youth should be portrayed; isn’t ‘chavs’ and ‘happy-slapping’ enough rubbish we teenagers need to battle against. What’s more there are people promoting the actions as good and necessary, which is quite frankly scary; 10 people are injured and buildings are destroyed and smashed to pieces, and this is good?

Ah. I know the intentions of the few students who honestly care was good, but this has probably affected many of the ‘little’ people’s views on the youth, let alone the more powerful!

I would go on but

Emily. Is. Frustrated.

On the up!

Even though swapped with coursework and uni deadlines there are ups!

1) My aunt is a flipping good dress-maker and has made me a beautiful red pencil skirt that fits like a glove and a navy circle skirt that hangs in all the right places, which I can't thank her enough for! She's starting on a pinafore dress for me soon in black - can't wait! (photos will be put up soon I'm sure)

2) I got some new cream brogues to go with my new camel coat and because my old black heeled ones are slightly damaged and sad - quite frankly I missed them! (This shopping trip also made me fall in love with Zara - now my favourite shop!)

3) I had a Chocolate Dreamcake Krispy Kreme Donut and it was the best thing I've ever tasted. If your feeling a bit low - I recommend!!

anddddddddd

4) I found out Hanson covered The temptations - My Girl. It's so pretty! I would quite happily marry Taylor. :')

My theory.

I have had this little theory for about 5 years - it could be a very naive or a very 'teenage drama' theory however life ( or in fact my life) has proven it right time and time again; so I'm going to believe it. The theory anyway is that life is made out of little parts or sections - social/friends, family, work/career and you/health-wise. These parts all effect your life obviously and you can never have them all perfect, all at the same time.

The reason why I say this? 'Cos it seems this past month has thrown all those areas up and they're still a bit jumbled and unsettled, and it's taken a big blow to the self-esteem and to the little things in my life like this blog. (sorry blog!) But one of the biggest reasons why I'm pissed with all these things is because the lack of time I've got to spend with the best friend - especially with all our halloween plans. I've hardly seen her at all this week and it is due to my lack of input in the whole thing, it's a bit poo! However, I will tries me best to fix it :) I also found something that may be her christmas pressie because it made me nearly pee myself when seeing it - well, it was either that or seeing Michael Mcintyre in Waterstones.

The Blue Creatures

Being ill leaves everyone with the excitement of spending hours in front of the tele - and this week was my week of tele watching and geeking out on my media blog and book-reading!

However, my main point is actually a short one:

I WANT TO BE:

I first saw this sky+ advert this morning (at 6am! Silly medicine time scheme) and I literally wet myself and when it becomes present on my little tele, I light up. Jeez -this is how sad my life has gotton!

Au Reviour.

Meadows' England

Shaun Meadows is the known director and writer of 'This Is England' and once watching it a couple of years ago it did the job of shocking and acknowledging me to that period of time. However, I must admit - I didn't want to watch it again and it didn't make on my 'favorite films' list. In contradiction, I have high respect for Meadows as this new series of 'This is England '86' shows how amazing he is as both a writer and director; there's shots that just enlighten the eye and make the mundane streets look extraordinary and place to explore and the writing is of the same style as the previous film - the same tense air, joking yet tough behavior and blunt truths. The only criticism I had was the controversial scene of 'Milky' in the film. It was left ambiguous, needing the viewer to decide whether or not Milky died. In the series he's up and running,having sex and punching people and this completely threw me. I had decided in my opinion Milky was dead and I had to adjust my view on the situation totally when I saw this, which was a bit odd.

This is just a quick note and I defiantly recommend watching both - but you'll need to be prepared to be shocked and have your emotions-a-flying!

Welcome to...

I've always liked learning new things, and when I was little, I was always the one at the back of the classroom or in a group of friends that had my head in a book. A series of books that my nan got me when I was 10 have always stayed in my top favourites because of the sheer creativity and enjoyment of reading them- this collection of books are called 'The Horrible Histories' by Tony Deary.

I remember the first books my nan gave me from them was 'Vile Victorians' and 'Woeful Second World War' because even back then I was tad bit obsessed. They were quite easy-read books with various cartoons and little jokes to break up the pages of history, but even those pages of history paragraphs were written in such a way that you forget it's a classroom subject - in particular a subject many find tiring - and read it with anticipation and humour, just like any ol' fiction book.

Anyways, the reason why I bring this up today is because my recent fascination with a cbbc programme that one day, whilst on holiday, I accidently turned on the television to see. This, ladies and gentleman is of course the Horrible Histories. I was pretty amazed at how well the whole 30mins was shot and that it kept all the elements of the actual books - which is always a plus when it comes to adaptations. Ever since that luck one day, I've been looking it up on iplayer and trying to catch as much of it as I can on the television channel I'd never thought I'd be watching again. Plus, the actors play the roles brilliantly with a cast of Mathew Baynton (Gavin and Stacy ), Sarah Handland (That Mitchell and Webb Look) and Simon Farnaby (Mighty Boosh).

Here's some clips so you can see how good it is (and I guarantee they will get in your head):

Currently

I'm rather forgetful when it comes to social networking sites (including this blogger and Deviantart) I seem to go through periods where I'm updating and being sociable every chance I can and then I somehow randomly forget or have less time to commit for a while. However, in saying this, I'm currently working on a music video with my best mate Korinne at the moment and I've been doing the storyboard all day, yet somehow I've had time to make a new layout for this blog and committed to Deviant art by uploading and looking at various inspiring pieces all at once! This has made me feel rather proud of myself - I didn't realise just how much I could multi-task!

From tomorrow my life gets pretty busy for once. I'll be starting to shoot the music video both tomorrow and thursday, meaning I'll be shooting all over London. Then on friday I'll be packing and getting all the last minute euros and necessities for both my Disneyland Paris trip and Lourdes trip! Really exciting! Although I'll guarantee by friday I will be panicing - it's the first time I've left the country in 10 years; and this time I'm doing it without the parents! However, it's my first time to France, and I'm so looking forward to it. I have my rolls of 120 film, brand new Holga camera and the good ol' Canon 450D ready to take many photos of the times ahead!

All these travels make the rest of my summer holidays look like nothing! Hope next years like this...

A skill I really want

I admit that I'm completely jealous of the people able to do stuff like this! I would love to learn how to make cakes half as good as this! Is there a course? I might start looking...

Amy Blakemore

There's something so bittersweet about this poem, but it's one of my favourites and it appeared on my deviant art today and thought I'd share it on here.

The day folded;
Like a Cabbage White closing its wings
On a windowsill.

With the old, worn-out risk,
the unexplainable, skewed
trigonometry
of drunkenness

you climbed the fire escape.

Got on the roof.
But once you were there, you
envied the stars

their height

and could not get back down.

- Amy Blakemore

In the Evening

I have realised today that I'm 100% an evening person. As a toddler my Grandad and Mum used to take me on these evening car drives to get me to go to sleep and I remember seeing the lights of London going past and people in different paths of lives crossing in many different ways. It's what I think of nowadays when i take an evening car journey - they always seem the best - you can nose around people in other cars and on pathways without feeling as guilty. Plus the roads are less jammed so the car always seems to be moving - showing you another image and another life.

I also love the smell in the air when the sun has finally settled away and the sky has turned a misty navy blue in the summer, or the bitter cold temperature outside as you poke your head out just to comfort in the warmth inside a little bit more. It's also the time where I feel I can reflect, snuggle and relax - far more then if the sun was a-shining at 10am in the morning when it all feels a bit busy because people have plans for the day. The feeling of a new day on the horizon is comforting for me.

The television seems to get good then, but some days I'd trade in a night in watching CSI or Comedy to just laze around in my garden with a cup of tea and a friend to talk to or a book to read. The noises seem to be a little sharper too - the cars driving on the distant main road, the lone plane flying by and the whispering television coming from a neighbours window. Everything seems more interesting.

Yes; I'm defiantly an evening girl.

Day 19

Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them

I used to have many because I think everyone has a time in their life where somehow you get loads for the most silly reasons. The most recent is something I've already discussed - the whole Superman and Wonderwoman thing so I fear that there is nothing I can really write here.

Day 20- Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future

Aha. Well, there's a question. Someone tall, dark and handsome right?

There's many people whom have come in my life that I swore would still be in it 10years later, and well, that just isn't to happen. Call my naive (again) and even a bit silly to believe I know two people who I would believe to still be in my life 10 years later - and those people are Korinne and Michael.

Korinne and I have an odd yet really good relationship, and to be honest I'm not quite sure why she calls herself my best friend - but I'm really happy and proud she does (aww). We've had a soppy moment here and there, and we've had times and memories of which every best friend couple share and honestly she's one of the most inspirational and confident people I've ever met yet still an aspiring geek and clumsy as ever! I've been quite a stupid friend in the past and i hope to change that - with this whole 'optimistic' thing I have going on now. Fingers crossed I don't mess it up!

The next is Michael, and it's quite stereotypical that I'm going to be placing his name here - but I honestly think that if we ever did break up, we'd still be close/friends. So it may not be marriage that keeps us together in our future, but it'd still be that he keeps Emily happy :D (and I think there's a little more then 99.9% chance it'll be the marriage thing too...but shhhh)

Oh, and then there's Adam - becuase if Mike's in me life then I guess Adam has to as well :P

Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy

(There are many, but these two picture never cease to fail!)

Slice of Heaven

I'm a sucker for cheesecake. I have a real sweet-tooth. Today my nan brought me home this god cheesecake to help cheer me up cos I've been ill recently. This cheesecake is the American-style Lemon Cheesecake from Morrinsons and I've had myself a few good cheesecakes and this one is defiantly up there! Plus it isn't the most expensive cheesecake ever - so it's really good value! i will spend my day eating this now! Be jealous... :)

Something you NEED to know

There is always something about documentaries that's so much more then just watching a film. After you finish watching a film you talk, remember and move on sooner or later, whereas a documentary leaves a mark, always. Leaves you thinking about it every now and again. Leaves you wanting to do something - either to help, change you life or just hold the new awareness it has given you with a positive attitude.

This particular documentary made me have all of those points: I hold a new awareness, I want to (and I think I have) change my attitude (and ignorance) on the subject and wanting to help. This documentary is called 'The Cove' and it's left me with a particular need to share the information it has given me - although I had no idea how to express it in as much detail and with the impact it witholds. Therefore; I recommend you watch it. This is something you need to see. What it is about? Dolphins. The man who created the world of 'Flipper' is in regret over what business he has built in the ignorance of innocently making a television programme. Taiji in Japan is capturing and murdering at least 23,000 dolphins every september in hope to make millions. What makes this documentary great is that it captures every horror of what's happening - from the obvious - the greatness in amount of killings and sufferings to the Minamata disease seen before in Japan because of eating the meat from whales and dolphins. The facts and acts towards the protagonist are outstanding and outrageous and the images are terrifying and heart-breaking.

The only way it can be stopped is word of mouth. Making it something to talk about, to scream about and to protest about.

I'll leave this in the desirable hope for you to watch it, an image in hope to stress the situation and a webpage for you to join and help the cause if it suits you.

I'm proud of my number and part!

Day 17

Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

This is ridiculously hard! There are a few all for different reasons. The names that come to mind are Mrs. Pankhurst, Dita, Bettie Page but I couldn't pick one - seriously. Although I've always had a dream ever since I found out about the Victorians and all their fantasies, flamboyant ways of living and mysterious when I was about 10 or so, that I'd love to spend a day as a Londoner in that time period. Just to have a feel of what it would be like to smell their smells, walk down their streets and see things truly how they were - not just from pictures in a book.

However; thinking back to the original question it leaves me with a sense I wouldn't be good enough - like Mrs. Pankhurst - I don't think I have half her bravery or courage and in her fight every minute counted. Therefore, I may muck up something really quite substantial (butterfly effect and such). So I'd have to say Dita Von Teese just because she is still living her story - Bettie and Mrs. Pankhurst have their heroic lives written and that's the way it should be. It would be quite good to look in a mirror and see her stare back, having her curves and being small then the giant I am towards her! Plus all the glamourous clothes and places she has and visits would most interesting!

Day 16

Day 16- Another picture of yourself

I got rather bored waiting for Michael to get ready....

Day 13

Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

The problem with this post is that I am rather content with life right now. Yeah - there's things that could happen that would make it better - but then there's always things that could make it worse. This post would almost acknowledge to that person that they have irritated me and therefore affected a part of me. I like to think that the people that hurt you and hate you are just there because everyone clashes and everyone has certain traits that don't match with others, without this in life we'd be zombified and cloned.

Oh actually! Optimism was my short term goal and I believe I have kinda accomplished this, because me four or five months ago would eat this up and a horrible letter would be sitting like a stain on my blog. This goal is now a life-time goal to achieve I believe. Bring it on!

A lovely optimistic quote:

Day 12

Day 12- How you found out about blogger and why you made one

I found out about blogger through Media Studies actually. Anyone that has done the course understands how much they rely on the website. Then m'Shell told me she had one of leisure and I thought it was a really good idea! So here I am, and I'm rather proud of persuading a couple of people to join it too!

Day 11

Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends

Well this one is from the holiday I just came off of today of my Michael and I; we were going out to play pool with my family. Lovely Jubbly.

Day 10

Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped

This is going to be rather hard as my itunes is rather varied. I'll put two of each :)

Happy-

The first HAS to be a Hanson song - although it became really tough to pick just one song as half of my ipod is of them. Anyway! This one is from their new album 'Shout it Out' which manages to always make me dance in some sorta way and it's also my love of the high hat when playing the drums. Unfortunately I couldn't find the album version, however this is live and you do get to see Mr Taylor Hanson looking rather good - always a plus:

The next one is Glenn Miller - "In the Mood". My Grandad gave my a CD of his four years ago and I became totally obsessed with him! This song in particular makes me forget everything bad and just wanna learn to ballroom dance and shimmy, remembering the days when this was the popular music - wonderful!

Sad -

Mr Jason Lancaster writes the most beautiful, heartbreaking yet heartwarming, dramatic and emotional songs. He is bloody amazing at capturing emotion! He wrote the first album of Mayday Parade and he is now in a brilliant band named 'Go radio' and writes all the songs in that as well. Here's two of his best songs (Warning: These will make you cry!) - 'You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keeps Your Heart In The Cloud' and 'Goodnight Moon'

Bored -

I normally go to classical songs when I'm bored because being bored when it comes to the itunes means I have no idea what to listen - classical music is a fresh slate almost. Here's two off my favorites:

This always makes me wanna escape into the wonderfully mysterious world that is Middle Earth:

Hyped -

Well, these are basically two of the songs which are the crowd-pleasing and most defiantly in my top songs for life! they basically explain themselves :

Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name and Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode

There you go!

Just came back off m'holidays!

So I need to catch up with my 30 days and also write a blog about it all :D

Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days

This is from the help of my Michael but to be honest - it's rather true. Over the past days I've been on holiday and the advantage of this holiday means being mixed with totally new people. Myself and Michael were talking about random little things on the beach and somehow got onto this subject - what were we proud of ourselves for? The thing that stood out the most for me was being secure; well more secure then insecure. I've been in a time of my life where I've become both very secure and very insecure to name a few - insecurities: do I "fit in", friends and family changes - securities: I know what I like, who I am, my loves and dislikes.

Both these securities I'm rather proud of, most people I have been surronded by in classes and with previous friends always seemed to hold the same trait and insecurity of doing whatever the media and fashion told them to (what hurts the most was the fact they thought they were different) e.g. cutting hair into boy hairstyles to be different, wide, thick black glasses ("the geek look"), even liking paris and nautical styles they thought was "different", these annoying habits and cling-on's especially with the ignorance of not realising EVERYONE was/is doing it, are rather irritating. However, I have defiantly known what my style is without it being persuaded by fashionistas and magazine articles. Therefore; I'm totally comfortable within what I'm wearing and how I'm looking which many of these fashionistas aren't but put up with for the hope of being accepted. Which makes me rather sad. (But happy cos it's not me :D yay)

A couple of days ago I posted a blog about my best friend Korinne and - even though she might hate me for posting this - I would love to advertise her blog she has just started!
http://bluewouldstillbeblue.blogspot.com/
I loves it - but then i'm bias - go look for yourself!

Day 08

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why

Take more photos - Starting with something I'll enjoy, but for many reasons in the past months I've lacked doing. Therefore, this month I will try to challenge myself with taking as many photos as I possibly can. I suppose the change of location within these few weeks will help me get a range of photos will be very handy as I go to an English seaside on friday, Disneyland Paris in 3 weeks and Lourdes a couple of days after that!

Be more optimistic - Unfortunately I've got myself in a hole, being ok with being pessimistic which isn't exactly great. But in order to not bring people around me down and to smile more I want to raise my spirits and awareness - always a good thing.

READ!! - For A2 starting in September I need to read Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr Jeykll and Mr. Hyde and Carol Ann Duffy's 'Rapture'. I've only read fully Dr Jekyll and I'm up to 138 in Captain Corelli's so I'm rather panicing that I won't get it all done because I'm extremely slow at reading!

Day 7

Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

This fortunately leaves me with a few responses, and to be honest I wouldn't want to leave any of them out because that makes me feel like they are unworthy or less then whom I choose to place under this heading. I think the main four would include my Nan, Mum, Michael and Dita Von Teese.

My Nan and Mum are ovbiously the ones that have helped me learn and grow, but the challenges they have brought to me will help me forever and therefore I thank them dearly. Challenges are difficult and annoying in some cases but these ones are only things needed to face, and better off learning them when younger - being able to fall with support of others - then older and less dependent. They also share this overwhelming bubbly personality which can cheer you up even when your most stubburnly annoyed - believe me it's happened many a time!

Michael has been in my life for 2 and a half years and yet has become the most prominant person next to my close household family. The weirdest yet most glad apart of our relationship is the fact my family loves him almost as much as me; in the words of my nan "he's a part of the furniture". As he is the most prominant he's the most annoying, friendly, funny, stupid, clumsy, silly, lovable and happy person I know, and the little things he has done for me is just as good as the big things we've pulled eachother threw - 'cos we know a blooming lot can happen in just two years. Also; Michael - sorry for being the least soppy person ever, loveyou!

Ah, Dita Von Teese. Thanks to her 6years ago (? I think six years ago) she opened up a world of such beauty and magnificance. Little ol' me didn't actually realise what would happen after being told about her. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have discovered (here comes the lis, hold on guys):

Burlesque
1950's fashion and hair styles
Mr. Pearl
Jaguar S-type 1963
Chrysler New Yorker
Pasties
Stockings
Wiggle Dresses
Elegance
(Cheesecake) Pin Up
Alejandro Jodorowsky
ect.

And what would life be without all that? Actually looking at that list has actually made me realise how much of my life now has been altered after knowing all those things - I like it!

Day 06

Kinda Cheesy Story Alert!

Two and a half years ago Micahel and I were on the phone; awkwardly chatting ect. I had to keep running around from room to room because my house was full of family and one of my close friends, Jennifer was also there. Why was this a problem? Mainly because all the people there are very nosey and any sign of anyone liking someone else they will cling onto for dear life and want to know everything! I could not suffer that torture so when my room was empty I went in there, when the front room was empty - I went there and so on; there was even a time when I went in the bathroom to escape! Anyway, Michael said 'I was like Wonderwoman' flying around everywhere and we some how got onto calling him Superman, and there was a massive time when we kept referring to us as Superman and Wonderwoman, it's still a cool little memory for us anywho, so that'd be why Superman and Wonderwoman are my favorite superheros.

Change of Plan

2 posts ago I said that I would be finally spending a day out with my camera and my Michael finally after ages of wanting but not having time. That did happen - my camera, my michael and I went out. The only thing was that I was not behind the camera; I was in front of it?! This may not seem weird to you; the reader, but for me being quite self-conscious and not proud of my skin I would never have thought any time recent I'd be getting in front of the camera and whatnot. However, saying this, it was a really good day! I did get some photographs myself between the modeling which I still need to edit and play around with myself but Michael has edited his already and uploaded them on his deviantart: www.ekimvonburrin.deviantart.com I like the range he got; for uploading 6 he hasn't kept the same tone throughout - I thought it was quite clever.

Here's a snapshot:

Day 5

Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

One of the best places in the whole world. I think I was the happiest girl alive when I went to Disneyland Florida with my grandad, aunt and mum when I was 6. I literally clung to the walls when I was told we had to go back on the airplane! I hope to go back in the near future.

Today

I cleared out my wardrobe in start to clean my room out properly head to toe; to be honest, now I'm regretting it. The phrase 'it looks like a bomb has hit this place' really has been put into practice. I have a clean wardrobe but my room has got rubbish all over it which I'm going to continue tomorrow - looking forward to that! Although the upside is it's like I have discovered this whole new wardrobe because I discovered clothes I has previously loved and forgotten about (or lost) and so now it feels like the moment you come back from a huge shopping trip and have loads of new outfits - it's amazing!

Talking about clothes and I have just recently confessed to being an Ebay addict - I'm not sure if to buy this polka dotted one shoulder playsuit. I've not previously owned a playsuit because I've always seen them as 'not me', however this item is so adorable I fell for it straight away - the only thing stopping me is the fact it's a playsuit. What to do? What to do? Just have to sleep on it I guess!

I am rather excited about the fact after I'm cleaning my room I will be going on a long-awaited photography outing to the cornfields and such-like. Hopefully I'll get some good shots, feels like ages I've taken a couple of hours/a day to just do my photography - too excited! Although I'm still waiting on my Holga 120N camera which I'm praying will come before my holiday next week. Fingers crossed.

Day 4

Day 4 - A habit that you wish you didn’t have

I think I have many but the one that irritates me so much, and yet is the most common, is biting me nails. I will quit and succeed but I have terrible nerves and so when they kick in I fall back into biting my nails which is most frustrating.

Day 3

Day 03- A picture of you and your friends
I was going to put a couple of photos here of friends because I have never got the chance to get one of all of them together but then I decided this one was the best and one of the most important so I'll just dedicate this to my Korinnian :D

Day 2

Day 02- The meaning behind your blog name

See - I can't actually remember now =/ I think it's because I was reading me Disney books and there's a line in wither Beauty and the Beast or Snow white (my two favourite Disney books) that has the line "daydreams in fairytales" in and I thought it was really sweet so I used it :)

Pretty plain and simple as that.

That; and I daydream a lot about fantasy lands so it fit me :)

Insanity

Flake Advert

This advert is amazing; the movement being both elegant and beautiful. I know it could be taken like the perfume adverts that contain no relevance to the object the advertisement it is selling - but in this case I don't think it is. In fact, it's quite clever how they've linked the two through textures. Beautiful.

Day 01

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

Not sure if they're interesting but...

1) I'm a IVF buba
2) I have a girl crush on Dita, Bernie Dexter and me Shell ;)
3) I believe chicken is the best food in the world

5) I'm addicted to ebay and vintage shopping
6) Half my bedroom floor is basically covered in teddybears
7) My top 25 on itunes consists of mostly Hanson, Glenn Miller, Nickelback, Go Radio and Aerosmith
8) I hate twilight. A lot.
9) I love even numbers especially multiples of 4
10) Three of my favourite music video directors are: Floria Sigsimondi, Robbie Starbuck and Adam Powell
11) I'm afraid of the dark
12) I use rollers in my hair as much as possible
13) Next year I'm going to dye my hair blue or purple in summer
14) I'm also saving up to go to Germany next year
15) I like organising and plans

A little thing I found and I'm gunna try to do...

Time

I can't believe it's the 7th July already! It seems just yesterday I was at my Michael scelebrating new year and had no idea what will happen this year. But now the exam and coursework stress has come and gone in the click of a finger, my birthday was over in a heartbeat and now my trip to Lourdes seems so close! (A month to be exact!) This year has gone faster then any other, I swear. It makes me think about how much time I seemed to have wasted on nothing but also how much of my life was work - jeewhiz!

On the up though - one day left of school tomorrow and then it's the summer! Yay. Plus I have a job interview on monday as I passed the first test last week so hopefully I'll become rich soon. :) Wish me luck!

And a nice little quote:

The Hobbit

I am rather excited to hear 'The Hobbit' is being produced and directed by the lovely Peter Jackson - I personally believe noone could make the film as good as the book other than him. His image of Lord of the Rings was almost perfect and I think eveyones agreed that it couldn't be a better film. Plus, Ian Mckellan, Andy Serkis and Hugo Weaving are keeping their roles which makes the continiuity perfect - otherwise the story just wouldn't look right. Therefore, little ol' Emily cannot wait to see 'The Hobbit' in 2012. Hurry up these two years!

I so want...

... a pastel bicycle with a little wicker basket - especially now it's summer! Aren't they pretty!

I love this woman!

Kandee Johnson is a make-up artist and I feel so stupid and horrible for judging her photo when I first saw her, maybe it's because I'm surrounded by bright orange fakes with just as horrible personalities that I just think anyone with a tan will be like that. If I could apologize to her would because once reading her posts here: http://kandeethemakeupartist.blogspot.com/ and watching her youtube videos I realised how genuinely nice, beautiful and caring she is! I honestly believe she's one of the most genuine person I've ever come to know and she has a pure talent for making every person feel loved and special someway every time she speaks - just read one of her posts!

She's also really awesome with beauty and skin problems - following her advice in her youtube video for skin troubles (posted at the end of this) I kept to her words and now my skin is clearing up like you wouldn't believe! A whole two years of problems solved by a video - so happy! Plus her fashion sense is actually the quirkiest you'll see - and not the sense that 'she's so different' in all that cliché but to the fact she has bits of every fashion and every fad and mixes them in ways you don't even imagine - which is why I think such a range of people adore her - including little ol' me!

There are a hundred more different reasons why I love her so much, but if you take a look at some of her stuff I think you'll be able to realise for yourself! :D

New layout

YAY. Think it's look better - plus I'm not really a pink girl so this suits more :P

House on the Rock

I was researching again and found this amazing place made by Alex Jordan in Spring Green, Wisconsin.

There's 3 sections but the variety of rooms within the three are immense; there's replica's of 'yesterday's streets' full of 19th century antiques and red brick alleyways, rooms tributing to the music of the past, heritage of the sea also a circus room celebrating the fantasies and the freakisly weird, and even a room containging the world's largest carousel with 269 handcrafted carousel animals (and not one of them a horse), 20,000 lights and 182 chandeliers!

Many have described it as a 'real life version of a Tim Burton movie' - up my street, and when I finally get to USA I will be attending this bizarre yet interesting attraction!The site to see the amazing photos and read more: http://www.thehouseontherock.com/HOTR_Attraction_TicsAndTours_Reg_Tour1.htm

Here's something I could never do! This guy has some serious guts, my tummy turned upside down several times just watching!
