Donnie Darko

I'd heard about this film a couple years ago, from someone saying how great it was, so when I saw it for £2 I brought it. It was totally amazing. It's easy to see why it's a cult classic, the twists and turns in the story alone make it it one. It leaves you guessing until the very end, it has everything you want in a film, a boy and his rabbit-no I'm joking.

The film is about a boy Donnie Darko, someone who is emotionally troubled and after escaping a freak accident he is haunted by an imaginary rabbit Frank, who warns him about the end of the world, but then orders him to commit crimes which he follows. As the end of the world gets closer his stability slowly melts away, as Frank haunts him.

I honestly want to watch it again, it was really good and very entertaining. The film leaves you guessing until the end. Here's a funyn tidbit, 10 minutes after the end of the film in the kitchen my mum-who slept through most of the film goes "I have Mad World stuck in my head," funny bit is it was the last song in the film, subconscious woo!

Frank

Crickety-crick

My mum just put on Benidorm and fa-giggles. Woman wound up in a naturalist hotel and was going "It's all hanging out!" I do find it amusing, well very funny, except the feature length they did, wasn't as good as I exspected. Oh well, still good in the odd bit. If you don't know what it is, basically somewhat tacky comedy but funny. Mainly tacky because the place is apparently according to my parents. Sign in the program just now, "Beni Factor-Dancers use the rear exit," with graffiti underneath "They certainly do!" Fun, fun, fun.


Don't know if I've mentioned it but my baby bro-Bradley has a beardie-lizard, well a bearded lizard. It's not even the size of my hand, and I have small hands! It's so cute. He got it on christmas eve, and yeah cuteness. Shall have pictures of it up here as soon as my camera turns up, I've misplaced it somewhere around the house along with my mp3. So stressy. But yeah, it's lovely, still timid and nervous but I picked it up and got Bradley to hold him. The strange thing is how the lizard can look both young and old, it has the delicate skin of a baby, yet the look of an old creatue-maybe just reptiles for you! I had to put it's crickets in first, by the way they are live, so hard to catch. It's okay though I did work experience in a pet shop and they had reptiles so I know basicay basics, so some how I am the reptile know-it  in the house-well that's how my mum makes me feel when she asks me stuff, worst bit is I mostly know the answers through logic, and a wee bit of bull-shitting. But she more than likely knows it. So yeah these crickets I thought they were too big, but no, he just chomps them down. Oh the lizard's name is Eragon, my brother thought that was the dragon's name but no it's the boy, but the lizard is likely to be male so it works and Saphira just doesn't cut it as a boy's name unless they were Latino, and then there would be a question mark right above their head all about their sexuality. But yeah it's cute, and ahh, I don't really know what else to say, crickety-crick!


Off to bed. More than likely shall start the fifth book of this holiday, may be more. Blimey I've read so much.

"Fuck the Post Office"

"Give me your fucking money!"
The words Bob Geldof used to get support going for Band Aid, something that has undoubtedly proved rock 'n' roll can change the world, and shows the power of music. That's the legacy Bob Geldof has left the world.

The lesson today is how to die

 

In the part of Band Aid when the BoomTown Rats performer "I don't like Mondays" when it got to the line "the lesson today is how to die" the set stopped and that line revealed a double meaning. What he did was amazing but couldn't have been achieved without help and support of so many other people. He's one of my idols, and to be honest I barely know anything about him, but becasue he cared and he helped he is.

Booky-wooky & Youthy-wouthy

Tonight I finished a book I've been reading all week and it was so perfect, I love endings that just fit, and this book had one of those. Love Lies by Adele Parks is the book I'm yabbering on about by the way, something that undoubtedly should have been mentioned in the first sentence BUT I'm me and I shall do things my way. Hehe song quote sorta that I did it my way one. Good times, just remembered the version of it by the Sex Pistols. They are pretty awsome, or the rest are except Rotten who sold out to a butter advert! Why be how he was in his youth to when he got old ruin all that I'd say work, but yeah work to wipe it out for one paycheck for an advert!!!

Now back to the book, it was so cute-honestly it was, it was a cute love story. Admittedly probably not one of the best but it's good and easy to read. It's about a woman who's gotten to 30 and wants her boyfriend to commit and marry her, yet when he doesn't propose she's already starting to become friendly with a pop idol, and soon a whirlwind romance florishes and it's what happens when she realises this glamorous life she's now leading isn't all it seems. It's really interesting and yeah it's chick-lit but good. ^^


Oh, oh, oh today had a senior member meeting for youth club, basically senior members volunteer at youthclubs, well where I live we do. It's really fun, and I suggest doing it, you learn so much, literally this year I did my level 1 in youth work entry-admittedly I was 15 so should have waited until I was 16 but yeah I rock, na Youth worker let me. It has improved my confidence so much and I've met loads of new people and done tons of new things because of it. I now also have filled almost everything out for my V50, an award you get when you have done 50 hours. So we all had informal interviews to see how we're getting along, and we made cake! Nomnom. Was good, and I got to eat some cake mix ^^ so always good. The mix tastes better than the cake most of the time I think but yeah, "You'll get worms" not that I know anyone who has. So probably a small risk people love repeating, wrecking cake mix time-yes there's now a time. 0.o

Yet even though Youthclubs are really important the government may be stopping the funding in April. Why? Probably the big communtity idea. I can say right now I think it's fucking trash. Yeah so bad, I swore which I wouldn't normally do. It's ridiculous, no one in my area will volunteer for free, 1. no one has the time, 2. no community spirit, 3. it's an unrealistic idea that takes advantage of kind people. I strongly dislike, no hate this government, but I don't like politics, so enough.

Some good news too! Joining a photography course in the new year, at some point not sure when, so =). I am so stuck between fashion photography and a science career, yet all any says is science, science, science for the reason it's easier to get in and makes sense, but I can see 10 years from now me having followed that path unhappy. So dilema, yet my mum says she's now going to support me whatever I choose to do, yet I don't think I'm good enough to be a professional photographer so it scares me. I have no idea what to do, but yeah photography course!!!! Also been thinking may have to ask this guy at my school to model, he's so photogenic-I'm serious, he is, but it sounds creepy wanting to ask him to model so well. XD

Nothing more to say other than I have new books woopy! Nighty night people. xxx

Snow, snow

Not much has been going down, but yesterday went into town with a friend, Elouise- >.< I hope I've spelt it right, it's just one of those names. But yeah, had fun despite the cold. Got a new belt, it's awsome, it looks like an Ed Hardy one but isn't so wooples.

Today was cool, more in the cold sense of the word! Went out photo hunting after my mum mentioned about how the trees looked, and the spiderwebs. So went out after noodles-nomnoms. Took my baby-well little brother out, he's the youngest and 10 so will be my baby bro for a while yet. So yeah went out took photos, got freezing came home and got my hot water bottle. ^^


My sister has just told the whole of the family about her prank calls, hilar-fing-ous. She went through the whole lot of pets at Pets at Home, I feel sorry for the man, poor poor man. Then she phoned Pizza Hut and asked if they did smiley face pizzas. Woman on the phone said yes. My sister went on going "Yeah I want one, my boyfriend broke up with me" then she has the offer of delievry and my sister says she panicked and said "Oh don't worry, I found some Ben and Jerry's in the freezer" that made me laugh so much.

Yeah daily funny things. X-mas soon, seriosuly wondering if it will snow.

Film time...

Just watched Wanted, was a good film. Funny and violent, little bit quirky I suppose, but enjoyable. Well to me it was, yet my mum fell asleep, but that means nothing, she does that with most films. It's amusing, she falls asleep some nights and the ways we wake her up, by we I mean my dad and me mostly. When we still had Roxy, my first dog, my dad had actually trained her to go over to my mum and lick her until she woke up-I'm guessing as no one can yell at a dog.

But yeah she fell asleep and said it was bad and a weird film, but it was awsome, and the end line, "what have you done with your life recently?" Hilarious.

Ever seen Severance? If not, is a good film to see if nothing else is on, it's a horror comedy and made my Isle of Mann studios, same people who made Blackball so good vibe when I saw that on the credits. Was funny and gory, so maybe not for everyone. Had to admit I was reading whilst watching as well some bits are extremely gory lots of blood, and grimacing bits. Yet still good, me is thinking it may and is more than likely a indie film. Why are they always so good? Well mostly, they always have that quirk or unique vantage point or tell the story in such a way it's refreshing and new, sometimes just an insight into normal life. Indie love! <3

First!

So here goes. My first EVER blog post. So far so good, except I hate typing all um-I don't know, I guess the phrase is correct. I prefer typing in lower case, well when it's not for coursework. I'm such a bad person.

But yeah, first, first, first, first blog!!!! I'm not sure yet exactly what'll end up in this ahem blog, but yeah probably a lovely-I hope mix of music, fun and glitter.
