SO I again feel the need to talk about my boys on this public forum of my thoughts...<br />
Grace Helbig (dailygrace) did a video with Louise (sprinkleofglitter) in which they built a pretend family with only youtubers, it sounded like a fun game and I wanted to give it a try as well! I liked their channels to their names in the picture caption,if you wanna find out more, just click! OK, here goesss:<br />

Jenna and Tyler were chosen because, they're both kind of crazy! In my family it's my aunts and younger uncles who are the cool ones, I love Jenna's randomness and Tyler's sass!! But at the same time they're really sweet, so it's a good contrast.</div>

These two were picked for different reasons, Alfie is still relatively young and immature and at the same time has a heart of gold and can always help with everything. Grace seems like the perfect older sister, similar to crazy auntie Jenna, I guess it runs in the family. (I really think Grace COULD give really good advice if she wanted to though!) PS.: Notice how I didn't let Zoe fill any position in my household? It's so that she can still date Alfie sans incest! #ProZalfie</div>

Jackamo and Finnola are totally sweet and gorgeous. They seem like reaaallly nice people and I would really like to hang out with them! Also they're bloody gorgeous and in general, I think it's not too unnatural to be able to appreciate it if your cousins are beautiful; less than if it was your brother or son!<br />

Troye is a) only slightly older than me and b) seems like a really sweet guy. The fact that he is an internet junkie might bring us together, uniting us under a common cause. Also I bet he wouldn't mind me crying my eyes out in films. He seems like a boy who would join in!</div>

My dearest husband. Caspar. I very much adore this particular human being. The fact that he's tall and blue eyed and South African only helps, but really it's his humour and his smile that makes him so awfully attractive. Again he seems like the nicest guy in the world even though he is a self proclaimed slut! And not even two years of age difference, that can totally be breached. And due to his youtube career he must have a flexible schedule so he can drive the kids to school and stuff. :)</div>

The only thing that confuses me is: why would I call both of my children Joseph? But beside that, look at them they could literally be brothers. I just like both of them loads! Joey seems like a really funny, but a bit hyper guy, his randomness kind of reminds me of my bestie Lo, and Joe just kind of got stuck in the little brother role due to Zoe and can never really grow up since. Also I love all those silly faces he pulls.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There have recently been major incidents of fangirling all over the world that all of you internet savvy people will probably have heard about. Yeees, I'm talking about ZALFIE! It has finally been confirmed by both of them on Zoe's <a href="http://www.zoella.co.uk/2013/08/zalfie.html" target="_blank">blog</a> and I was quite surprised to find it was actually true. They had been dating for some time already in private, and now they've gone public, I was never a ultramassive Zalfie shipper, but I'm really happy for them both, they're totally cute together, and I just thought, good for you Alfie! I don't knw Zoe awfully well, but I hope you two last.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And as one relationship goes public, another one breaks apart, or at least goes underground. Finn Harries and girlfriend Jo Dunbar apparently split up sometime earlier this year, it has only been confirmed by the lack of the statement ''in a relationship'' though, so it might not actually be over, as to my knowledge Finny hasn't spoken about it himself. I feel sad for him, it must be hard to have relationship being him, all those fangirls and the media and stuff. Noooo privacy! Oh well, I can't say I mind single Finny :)<br />

Which are now kinda coming to an end, sad really.. Also I've got<br />
sooo much work to do, it's fricking cray-zeee! LIES, I've not been doing much work all summer which is the ONLY reason that I now have to do EVERYTHING in the last two weeks, wish me luck that I get it all done! <br />ANYWAYS, today is a time for celebration! You might have noticed on the side board view counter it says that I hit 20,000 views on this blog last night I can't really believe it! It only seems suiting that I should write my 100th blog post TODAY! So double celebration:<b> 20,000 views and 100 posts</b>!!! GIMME A WHOOP WHOOP!<br />I don't have anything reeeally special to tell you all for this momentous occasion, I'll just do what I've done for the last two and a half years! WOW, I can still remember posting several times a day because I was so excited to tell you stuff about my life! I guess the novelty has worn off now, along with my laptop keyboard; my backspace key broke so now it's an effin pain to type just about anything and I have to make do with my 'Delete'and 'Ctrl+X' buttons. Now you should appreciate me doing this even more!!<br />

First of all, - this is madness - I started watching historically inspired/drama kind of series, right when school ends! Why I don't use the time to shovel shallow sh*t down my throat I don't know, but I really got into two British shows called <i>The White Queen</i> and <i>The Tudors</i>. I really only got into them because they star Max Irons (his royal hotness) and Johnathan Rhys Meyers, and then I stayed because they're actually really interesting (to me) and they had me looking up stuff on wikipedia.com for hours. I think I taught myself more British history that way than I learn in class.<br />

I primarily want to talk about <i>The White Queen</i>, because Max, jokes.. Because it's reportedly closer to the truth than <i>The Tudors</i> except for that magic actually exists, I kinda just think the time period portrayed is older, hence, less is known about this time, hence you can invent a bit. I just liked it better, truthfully. It's the story of a widowed lady (Elizabeth Woodville), though a commoner, whom the young king falls in love with and eventually marries. There are enemies at court because suddenly the king listens to her and not his advisers and treachery, plots, death and magic happens. I like this story because even though she is not the kind of woman to completely control her husband she is fiercely strong in her own right and there are a couple of moments where you feel like reaching though the screen to give the other characters a bag of frozen peas to apply to the BURN!<br />

She had ten children and even though he slept around a bit, because she was pregnant most of the time, in the end as he dies, it is clear that she was the only woman he loved and is really sad to see him go. Also because Max Irons is definitely a hottie! (I'm not gonna say much about <i>The Tudors</i>, it's about Henry VIII's six marriages and it fits quite nicely to watch with <i>TWQ</i> as Elizabeth's daughter (portrayed by Freya Mavor from <i>Skins</i>) was the mother of Henry. Also it's got Henry Cavill in it and he doesn't have that horrid American accent that he put on for <i>Man Of Steel</i>. [TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE film, do not watch it. I hate Amy Adams in it and the story is shallow and stupid!])<br />

My second love of the summer was something that I am truly embarrassed to admit that I now incredibly love: <i>Teen Wolf</i>. I had been successfully avoiding it for a really long time, but in the end the combined powers of Colton Haynes and Dylan O'Brien pulled me to the dark side, and I stayed there willingly. <i>Teen Wolf</i> is a fantasy series about a guy, Scott, who gets bitten by something in the woods and the turns into a werewolf. The first season is him kind of dealing with that and then he learns more and more about the horrors of the world and the other monsters there are. He even starts dating the daughter of the werewolf hunters and it immediately becomes a thousand times more predictable, bad teen TV-series. It's like a McDonald's burger dripping with frying fat and all things bad, but its JUST SO D*MN DELICIOUS. Like brain calories.<br />

It's really the guys that make this series. There's Derek, totally hot werewolf and Scotts mentor and Scott himself isn't so bad, and then there's Stiles (Dylan) who is cute-ish but oh so funny, and Colton who plays a massive douche but still sexy as hell. And later on Isaach joins the crew, cue totally cute BRIT actor Daniel Sharman, who is really lovable and cute.<br />
Along the same lines is <i>Beauty And The Beast</i>, I don't even KNOW why it is on the CW, because the CW is a good channel - it has <i>True Blood</i> and <i>Game Of Thrones</i>, I just couldn't keep watching that one! You know how some series have voice over recounts of what happened last? This show has it but it is so terrible I want to kill myself when I heard it. It's something like this:<br />

OH MY GOD, that last sentence kills me. Like I can feel my braincells dying, while screaming in agony. It's what happens one step on from fat dripping brain burger. LETHAL BRAIN BURGER. Oh well, the series might have been OK, but I wouldn't know, I could never get past that first voice over. Warning!! Death and destruction falls upon anyone who shall watch this disgusting pile of radioactive waste.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On a happier note I will now speak about an Australian show called <i>Dance Academy</i>, which is basically about a group of teenage students at an elite ballet academy. What makes it good is that it's a twenty minute program, insuring not only less time wasted, but also a fast paced story line. Another benefit, for me at least, Auzzie accents, I really enjoy listening to them talk and I find the slang funny and it's just kinda refreshing after constant American and British accents. The dancing is also quite nice, although the show is really more about the relationships and drama behind the scenes.</div>

It's definitely worth a try, even though the main character Tara can annoy the living f*ck out of me. She is just a little bit immature and insecure and totally way too relatable. See, people wanna be able to relate but really they wanna be like the person (who is supposed to be idealised) rather than having them being like little old imperfect you. OK, after this little psych-self-analysis I just wanna say one more thing. There is love and drama and it's relatively realistic and that's what makes it good, but also makes you want to kill them. But yeah, I love dancing, if you do to you can put up with the rest!</div>

Lastly, I want to thank everybody who visits my blog regularly, or just occasionally, or just once for coming here and making me actually want to write a new post every once in a while. I get inspired when I see that people actually read this stuff, so 20,000 is a really happy thing for me! I know I'm not a very good or reliable blogger, and I beg for your forgiveness :P, but I just wanted to say, if you're new to the site or you have any questions, add a comment and I will most likely respond.

Have been collecting some ideas of what to talk about, I've been watching and reading a lot, and especially I haven't been doing my real work, oopsies! Like for instance right now I should really be doing some work on my History Internal Assessment that was due in a week ago... Oopsies!~<br />
Amongst the Series I've been watching were <i>Once Upon A Time</i>, <i>Homeland</i> and <i>Dates</i>, but those are the ones that I didn't want to talk about today, if someone really wants to know my thoughts on any of these shows, comment and I might just write something about them some other time!<br />

The first of the shows that I actually did want to talk about was <i>Alphas</i>, a kind of X-Men-ish series that was cancelled pretty quickly but I thought it was awesome! *Sadface* It's been a while since I finished this show, so forgive me if I get something horribly wrong, or forget to say something. <i>Alphas</i> is a series about a group of specially gifted people, who were born with amplified abilities. They work with a human called Dr. Rosen who is studying alphas and their abilities, and they try to keep other alphas from turning bad, or crazy, or uncontrollable, because if that happens they have to be put into a special prison called Binghamton, where they get killed, and sometimes even 'sterelised'. The team is made up of Hicks (hyperkinesis, perfect mind-body co-ordination), Gary (transduction, can see and process electromagnetic waves), Rachel (synesthesia, ability to heighten all of her five senses), Nina (Brain override, can 'push' people to do things by looking into their eyes and talking to them [much like vampire hypnosis]) and Bill (increased fight-or-flight, resulting in increased durability, endurance, speed and strength). In the second season there is also the teenage Kat, who is able to learn anything by watching a video or reading about it, at the same time she loses her declarative memories every six weeks or so, to help her remember she vlogs on her smartphone.<br />
I like this show because it is really original in the different skills that these people have, not just the off the mill mind reading or flying. I would recommend it to anyone who likes sci-fi, my favourite of the all is Gary, he's just a darling, and it's really interesting because this it totally believable. People with these kind of neurological conditions actually exist.<br />

Next up, let me talk about a little show called <i>Arrow</i>, sceptical at first I put off watching it for a while, it just seems so generic, but after a few episodes of Oliver Queen & Co. I just fell in lovvve. Helps that 90 percent of the guys are tots gorgeous... Stephen Amell, Colton Haynes since recently!! So this is another superhero/vigilante who goes after bad guys... A bit like Batman actually... There's obviously a love interest, who I'm not interested in, I'd much rather have him with the awesome techie girl Felicity who is hilarious and really smart too, and part of his ''the hood'' team, so he wouldn't have to hide anything from her. Also an awesome person is Oliver's little sister Thea, who is totally believable and gets together with HOTTIE Roy Harper, you guessed it, Colton Haynes. (Because of him and Dylan O'Brien I am actually considering watching <i>Teen Wolf</i> I have successfully avoided it, because it looks like utter crap, but the hot guys just keep on pulling me in!!)<br />

Well yeah, it's basically one baddie an episode and it all gets interesting because it seems like the ultimate baddies are actually Oliver's mom and his best friends father, Malcom Merlin played by John Barrowman (Capt. Jack Harkness on <i>Doctor Who </i>and <i>Torchwood</i>), so some tense family dynamics. I also love seeing guest stars like Janina Gavankar (Luna on <i>True Blood</i>) and Alex Kingston (River Song on <i>Doctor Who</i>). I absolutely love John Barrowman who is brilliant as a charmer and joker, but I never knew that he was also so great at playing a really really unlikable character!<br />

One of the coolest things are the 'flashbacks' to Olivers life on the island where he learned how to defend himself. The characters he meets there are really cool, and the transition from rich boy to survivor is really visible and interesting.<br />
If you like Marvel and DC Comics you will probably already know this character and I don't know how much you will approve of this adaption, but all I as a very comic-naive-enthusiast can say that I really really enjoy this series and would strongly encourage to watch this!<br />

I wanted to talk about a book I bought at the airport some time ago, you know when you have a really long time at some random airport and you just go around buying stuff because you're bored, and then you end up not actually being able to eat/read/whatever everything you just bought because you ran out of time? Well that happened to me, I bought <i>The Da Vinci Code</i> by Dan Brown and I didn't start it until some day where I shouldn't really have been procrastinating. I started it in the morning and I did nothing else but eat that day. I finished the whole 400-500 pages in one day. It's not that I haven't done that before, just, I haven't done that in a long time, I really should start reading more again, I love reading!<br />Well the story is kind of crime meets art and secret societies and religion and history and symbolism. It's all tangled up together and it reads very well as a narrative but at the same time it is really, really interesting intellectually. I am doing my Extended Essay on 'religious art' and I am very, very close to using it as a reference! All the stuff, sounds profoundly researched and really plausible.<br />
So I loved the book, I have to say, I am really glad I did buy this book on impulse, just because I had heard that people liked it, and I was amazed how fascinating it really was. The end was not very good I thought, it just seemed like the author was tired of the story and wanted to get it over and done with. It ends up being a romance, that is not very well developed through out the story line at all. And I just have to say that bit, I wasn't very fond of.<br />
But other wise...

If I don't do well on these.. I'm fucked for Uni.. I mean I know I can get the grades I need to get in by next year, but for them to admit me in the first place I need to do well NOW.

But I am currently also over flooded with emotion from watching the latest fricking episode of <i>Game Of Thrones</i>. It started so well and happy making, and it ended so badly and horribly gross ans sad and just gruesome!! UUURGGHHH! Whaaaah, poor Starks!! And ohmigod the IRONY with Bran and Rikkon and Jon all in the same place. I was like bursting from the seams.. ''DRAMATIC IRONY! DRAMATIC IRONY!'' 'cos yeah, English Literature SL. And then I was sooo touched that Jon refused to kill that guy, but Ygritte still stuck by him!! I love her, she's so awesome! I hope they end up together.<br />

And then in the next moment there's the Hound and Arya and their SO close to reuniting her with Mummy Stark and big brother Robb and it's all YAY *clap clap* happy!!! yay! And Lord Edmure gets married and when his bride is really pretty and Lord Frey just makes that face I was laughing so much! As if he was saying to Robb ''thats what you could have gotten... SHAME!'' But I was happy that everything was happy and that Robb would attack Casterlee Rock and WIN and then that little "#$%& Joffrey can die. But I guess I had hoped too soon! Because DUN, DUN, DUN: After the bedding ceremony everyone attacks the STARKS and Talisa (Robb's wife) gets stabbed in the belly (F*CK she's pregnant!!) and dies. NOOOOOO!! And then Robb is crying on the floor over her and fighting and everyone dies and then Catelynn is all awesome and threatens to kill Frey's wife to make him let her son go unharmed, but he wont leave his wife so Catelynn kills the woman and then also gets her throat slit, and Robb is killed AND ARYA IS RIGHT OUTSIDE. Fuck. No. I hate it!!<br />
I was sitting there with my jaw dropped down and like thinking 'What. The. F*ck.' and 'What am I supposed to do with my life now!! There is no way that they're still gonna win that damn war without Robb. And Joffrey needs to die.<br />
Right now my perfect outcome is: The Khaleesi on the Iron Throne, Sansa married to a guy she loves, Arya part of the Kahleesi's guard or something, Rikkon heir to Winterfell, Bran some see-er or something.. Oh yeah, and Jon and Ygritte can also be at Winterfell to help Rikkon, and Theon can be master of the Iron Islands.. Oh my god, I JUST realised that they are now actually Orphans, that's so sad! Nawwww!! I hope that about covers it...<br />

One more thing. The Khaleesi with Ser Jorah (who obviously loves her) or with Daario Naharis (the Second Sons guy, who is so prettty :D).. I feel sorry for Ser Jorah but I'll have to say Daario, just out of personal preference.. Seriously, have you seen him? He is such a wild cat.. like a Jaguar or a mountain Lion or something.. Well, I like him.<br />
OK, enough rant. I just watched that latest episode just now, and I couldn't hold it in. This was the first time that I NEEDED to write in ages, sorry that it's been taking so long for me to find back here! I hope I find more inspiration next week! Bye byeeee!<br />

Fangirling SO MUCH! Seriously I was SO happy! I even made my mom read that book, OK? It's absolutely incredilicious! DO READ if you haven't yet!! SO yah, the film rights were bought by Reliance Entertainment (<i>Lincoln</i>, <i>Bodyguard</i>,<i> Cowboys VS Aliens</i>) and so I hope that this endeavour won't take too long to happen!!!<br />
But I guess that's not going to happen, it's at least going to be a few years, so in the meantime I can speculate along with the rest of the fandom!<br />
Well, well, well, I really only wanted to write this post to discuss possible castings for my favourite characters! Yays! Let us start with the hardest of them all; the one and only<b> Lady Katsa of the Middluns</b>: So I was thinking really hard on this and I have come to the conclusion that she has to be small and lithe, but strong, as well as pretty (eventhough she doesn't know it), and most importantly incredibly fierce. So the actresses I was concidering for her role were Isabelle Fuhrman, Emilia Clarke and I also really like Alexandra Daddario, but she doesn't look quite elvish enough. I wouldn't mind an unknown actress to get a chance either, but it's just so much easier to find pictures this way. I know that all these actresses are iconicly linked to their roles as Khaleesi Daenerys, Annabeth and Clove but I just think that they all have the fighter qualities that make Katsa so special.<br />

Next on our list we have <b>Prince Greening Grandemalion / Po</b>, he is another graced character, skilled with a kind of self conscience that makes him a great fighter, as well as a mind reader as long as the thoughts concern himself. He is lighthearted, charming, adventure seeking, unjudging and kind, and he later on becomes Katsa's other half. He is described to be tan and wearing loads of jewelry and due to other Lienid descriptions I think he must be dark haired. Not. I don't imagine him dark haired. No. To me he is to sunny of a person to have dark hair, I will have none of that Ian Somerhalder whispering (he can play Christian Grey if he wants to!). So for prince Po I was thinking along the lines of Drew van Acker. Maybe even - I hate to say it - Chace Crawford if you excuse his dreadful acting... Or Chris Zylka if he's up to a part where he actually get's to smile!! I'd say out of these six, it would be Chace with Alexandra, Chris with Isabelle and Drew with Emilia, these pictures I edited to give you a better idea of them, but now I won't anymore because the next characters aren't AS important. So, here you go, my three sunny boys from Lienied:<br />

Now lets see for Katsa's friends.. I think that Max Irons would make an amazing <b>Prince Raffin</b>, Katsa's cousin and best friend, because I just love him. He's so cute and I want to see him play a more lighthearted role, with the blue hair and all :DD He is also a very clever, kind and peaceful guy, also he's gay but yeah, what actor doesn't like a challenge... For <b>Giddeon</b>, I do have to say why not Ian Somerhalder, after I so rudely banned him from being Po, I think he'd be a perfect Giddeon, charming, good looking, rich.. Likes Katsa but can never have her, tragic but ultimately funny. And now <b>Bitterblue</b> the little Monsean Princess, I have to admit I couldn't quite decide, because in the book she is said to be nine years old, but anyone I could think of was a lot older than that.. My top two choices are Elle Fanning, for her sweet and innocent look, and Georgie Henley. Honestly I prefer Georgie, but I think she might look a bit too cheeky, but this is my blog so it will be Georgie! She might be a bit old for the part of young Bitterblue, but I doubt they will want to wait nine years to shoot part three, if they do decide to do the entire series, and I think she would be juuust perfect for Queen Bitterblue.<br />

OK, now the rest of these aren't in the actual book <i>Graceling</i> but I have found some pretty perfect matches for other characters in my opinion. First of all, I'd like to say that I also really like Georgie Henley as Bitterblue because she can play the older Bitterblue as well, Queen Bitterblue. Her Boyfriend <b>Saff</b> is pretty perfectly described by Alex Pettyfer (I just want him in every film because he's so pretty!! Haha, get the pun?) Yeah, but imagine Alex with a lot of Jewelry on and a cheeky smile... Perfect.<br />
Then we move to <i>Fire</i> also an amazing book about a very strong woman I find it SO hard to find any actress who could possibly play this Lady Monster. <b>Fire</b> is an incredibly self loathing, self conscious beauty who is incredibly strong and beautiful at the same time, sound familiar? OK, for her I considered Saoirse Ronan because, imagine her with a whole mass of flaming red hair around her. Also, because she is pretty, but she's not conventionally beautiful, and I think that way it's easier to show that her beauty isn't like any other, it's magical. But then I went back to my dear <i>Game of Thrones</i> actors and decided, Rose Leslie would be even more perfect. Not just because she shares my name...<br />
Cansrell only has a small role in the story, but wouldn't it be amazing if he was Johnny Depp? Yes, I know right? It's PERFECT. Also, Johnny with blue and silver hair would look awsommeeee!<br />

OK, I think that's quite enough for now. I'm happy with that mini-cast I made the only one I haven't managed to pin down to anyone, who I feel is missing, is Brigan. Ohhh, and also Archer.. (but you know Viserys from <i>GoT</i>? I think he'd make a great Archer, I can't remember his name though!)<br />
Well, I'd like you to leave me some idea's in the comments down below, if you too, are a MASSIVE fan of the series and have some ideas of who's be good, please no fighting though!<br />

Soooo, I went on my usual England Trip in the holidays! So much fun, I love seeing my British family and my older cousins! We did the usual stuff... A night out in London (we went to this cocktail bar <a href="http://www.bluebird-restaurant.co.uk/" target="_blank">'Bluebird'</a> and I had a drink called the 'Tiffany Rose' [what else? :P] and it was SO GOOD! Like seriously I was drinking it so much way faster than I should have that I ended up juuuust a little tipsy... :D OOoops! Well, yeah, we did that, I also went to see the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Tate Modern and the Light Show at the Hayward Gallery! AND, BEST THING: I GOT TO SEE MY BESSTTIIIIEEE! LOZZA, I missed you so much! It was amazing to see you, and now I miss you again!<br />

It was supposed to be like a teenage kind of <i>True Blood</i>, turns out, without a few minor changes... It IS! Vampires can't be dis-invited from houses, daywalking rings, but there's still vamps and wheres and witches... The usual!<br />
I think you probably know the story: girl meets boy, girl falls for boy, boy falls for girl, boy turns out to be a vampire... sound familiar?? <i>Twilight</i> much? Yeah but it's better. So Elena Gilbert is the main character, she's is portrayed by Nina Dobrev, who is super pretty etc, is in love with Stephan (Paul Wesley) and his bother Damon (Ian Sommerhalder) is in love with her. Et voilà, here we have the Human, Good Vamp, Bad Vamp sandwich we all know so well. Except for this time, Stephan and Damon are both equally hot, and at least for now I want her to end up with Stephan.. Even though I love Damon, he's a sweetheart deep down, and he deserves to have something good in his life. I find him hilarious, just as I find Eric Northman hilarious, they're both so cat-like and arrogant that they act all dramatic and shoot a bit over the top sometimes!<br />

Supernatural friends (vamp and witch BFF, werewolf friend) start popping up everywhere and death ensues. Typical, but I must say for a show where deaths are as gory - but maybe not as iconic - as in <i>True Blood</i> there is no sex what so ever. I get that it's a teen show and isn't supposed to be as explicit, the characters are younger and so forth, but it's supernatural my god there's supposed to be some rawness and it's supposed to get our blood pumping... *eyebrows raised suggestively* :P<br />
I also dislike the aspects that are different as mentioned above, vamps that can walk in the day, my god they're becoming all powerful now!! Why? And if I invite some vamp into my house I f*cking want to be able to recede that invitation at some point! WHY <i>Vamp Diaries</i>, why? I understand that it's more realistic and dangerous and is probably supposed to make up for the serve lack of adult display of affection (;P) by an increase of suspense and danger, but this is just unrealistic. Also if there are vamps and there are weres then there must be some kind of curse (the 'Curse of the Sun and the Moon' has been discredited but there must be some kind of equivalent) and if vamps are able to defy that by walking in the sun, why can't were shift whenever they want or stop shifting at all..?<br />

Both series are based on a different set of books so I'll just have to take them both as they are and try to love them the way they are, just as if they were my own children, hehe, weird metaphor :/ All in all, I prefer <i>True Blood</i> but that's because I've stuck with it longer, I've read all of the books and I love Jess and Alcide and Eric and Jason and obvs Sookie. <i>The Vamp Diaries</i> are really addictive and a great fill in show to numb my ''Saudades'' of <i>True Blood</i>. (Saudades is one of those untranslatable Portuguese words that mean homesick or missing something, hard to explain..) Especially as I'm feeling like <i>TB</i> is coming to an end.. Show runners swapping around constantly and the last season deffs wasn't the best, I mean too many different storylines and characters (seems to be a forté of the CW's, I mean look at <i>Game of Thrones</i>, not even all of the characters get to appear each episode!). I'll be really really sad if it isn't renewed but it's had a good five season run, and if they wrap it up well this season, I won't get too disappointed that they never cast Quinn the weretiger or let Alcide and Sook be together.<br />
Enough with the emotional stuff! I've still got <i>Game of Thrones</i> which is only in season three and an absolutely BRILLIANT series, CW I applaud you: all the gore and sex you could want, along with a brilliant cast and script, as well as British actors :D. I'm not seeing that one going anywhere soon! Season three has just started and ohmigosh, I'm so exciteddddd!! I love them all, except for Joffrey the little c***! He needs to get slapped... Again... Over and over again. I also don't like Margery, but she's smart and I'll give her that,. In my humble oppinion a Stark should sit on the iron throne.. They seem to have loyalty and honesty running in their blood. Maybe Robb's girl gets killed (NOT that I'm hoping for that!! I like her) and then he can marry the Kahleesi... That'd be cool don'tcha think? My favourites Arya and I quite like Ygritte!<br />
<br />
Finally found inspiration, hope you do actually enjoy reading my rants about stuff that really, isn't really of any importance what so ever.. See you next week, hopefully! :/<br />
Ps: OMG, I just realised Paul Wesley is married to 'Melissa Hastings' from <i>PLL</i>!<br />

Heyyaaaa Guyss! I know I haven't posted in forever.. I'm so sorry! It's just, I had holidays and decided not to post in them because I wanted to chill for a bit, also 'cos I was plain lazy and unmotivated. But here as an excuse for my irresposible actions is a gif of Finn Harries. This beautiful specimen of man has a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/jacksgap" target="_blank">youtube channel</a> with his twin brother Jack. They are 19 year old Brits and every so hot! I've already posted about them twice I think so my obsession with these magestic creatures is becoming clear to you. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been watching them for about half a year now and I am so proud, but also a little bit sad, to say that ''my babies'' are becoming famous! :') (It's sad because then they won't belong to just me.. [And I intend to marry this man]) Well they've recently been in newspapers and magazines and are becoming internationally known through their trips to the USA and South Africa, making videos everywhere and with everyone and gathering a bigger audience in the mean time! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing, I think is really great is that they are part of a ''youtube community''.. Their friends also make videos and have channels on youtube, for example <a href="http://www.youtube.com/dicasp" target="_blank">Caspar Lee</a>, A South African dude who met them via the internet and now lives in London to be near them.. And is also one of my favourite males right now.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really have no purpose for wrighting this post other than promoting my love for Finn and Jack (but especially Finn)... I found this gif and I HAD to share it on all of the social media because I love it so much! I mean it's so brain-shatteringly beautiful that I can only look at it for three seconds at a time! Hehe, I TOLD you... FULL ON obsession mode.. Not saying obsession is a good thing.. DON'T stalk people, OK? Except, like, on the internet where they dont know who you are :P And except if they are like Finn-Harries-gorgeous.. And if that is the case.. Stalk them from a distance, like you would stalk a deer on a hunt, but without the gun! HEAVENS WITHOU THE GUN! Don't scare him so that he will stop making public appearences or stop making videos or hire a bodyguard before I had the chance to run up to him and hug him!</div>

Edit: I just found out that this fittie has actually got a girlfriend, sorry to break your hearts and destroy your hopes and dreams fangirls everywhere.. I was massively disappointed at first due to an obsessive streak that lies in my personality that I am not completely proud of, but after a few hours, the pain lessened and I began to feel happy for him. A) The boy's internet famous and super-hot, totally out of my league :'( B) he's three years older than me which is the boarderline on my dating-age (don't tell me you don't have one :D) and also even more totally out of me league, so C) he's happy and I'm a loyal fangirl and decided that it was probably better if we just stayed friends anyways. </div>

Feel free to stalk her though, you can be sure I did, the name's Jo Dunbar and she's totall pretty..

In the mean time I've not been up to very much.. After I finished <i>Smash</i> I started my search for a new fill-in series again.. On my list: <i>Revenge</i> and <i>Supernatural</i>. I tried <i>Supernatural</i> first and thought that I might really like it, I mean Jensen Ackles... Hello-o... Have you SEEN his pretty face? But then I watched episode two and episode three and I realised that it's a bit too scary for me! I might have liked it more if I hadn't tried watching it before bed, and then tossing and turning for some twenty minutes... I mean it's proof of a brilliant series when that kinda stuff happens to the viewers but I just can't take the suspense. I don't even watch horror films because I'm such a softie. I wasn't too upset by the Woman In White but then the Wendigo.... I get shivers running down my spine just thinking about it.. So I might actually watch some more episodes at some point when I'm bored but it won't be my new fill-in.<br />

I watched it 'cos my friends recommended it and stuff and it's on the same channel as <i>Pretty Little Liars</i> so I guessed it MIGHT be to my tastes.. But it turned out to be a bunch more boring than I expected.. I mean I am a person who doesn't support holing a grudge so I guess I'm kinda against the whole principle of the show.. Except for in <i>Nikita</i>.. That b*tch Amanda really needs to die. I digress.. (Hihi, I love that word :D) The concept of taking down rich b*stards one by one is rather attractive but U don't thing that they made the Hamptons crowd seem mean and evil enough to actually dislike them enough to wish for their downfall. Especially when the hot boy, who is totally supposed to be with Emily/Amanda, dies at the end and you know this from the beginning. The only thing that I actually like is finding out how she managed to kill their reputation.<br />

The series that finally won the battle of the fill-in series last weekend ended up being... Drum roll... <i>Game Of Thrones</i> I thought about watching it some time earlier already, but then someone gave me a bad advice about it and I decided against it.. But now I thought ''this is apparently HBO's best series I should totally check it out..'' I mean, it's kind of a little bit like a brother of <i>True Blood</i> and ohmigod I LOVE <i>True Blood</i>, but you all know that anyways :D What I have to say about this show is much nicer than what I said about the others. I actually really enjoy it like really! SO much sex and violence - apparently like fourteen deaths per episode - but the story lines are very good and the characters are amazingly built, such good actors (all British which I think is pretty cool for an American production!!).<br />

The story is about the conflicts and scandals of several noble families in kingdom where there are such things as dragons and magic. Most of the story lines are somehow including the Stark family, which consists of Eddard 'Ned' and Catelyn Stark, Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran and Rickon, there is also Ned's bastard son John Snow and their ward Theon Greyjoy who have basically become part of the family but have to deal with still not really belonging. Ned is the best friend of the king Robert who is eventually killed by a boar while hunting and his teenage son Joffrey (who is actually the product of his mother, the queen, sleeping with her TWIN brother :S) becomes son. Sansa is wants to marry Joffrey, but he turns out to be a bit of an evil b*stard and after he kills Ned, Robb goes to war against him and Sansa has a hard time choosing between 'her beloved' and her family.<br />

On the other side of the Narrow Sea Daenerys Targaryen the last surviving daughter of the king before Robert and the last person with ''dragon's blood in her veins'' is forced to marry a wild horse lord who is basically double her size and the whole arranged marriage thing is explored. I actually quite like 'Dany's' storyline because she comes to actually love Kahl Drogo and later becomes 'Mother of the Dragons' as three of the last and apparently ornamental dragon's eggs hatch. I don't want to spoil any more so I'm gonna move on to something else now it's deffs a good series to try out if you like medieval sci-fi kinda stuff.. It's a bit like <i>Merlin</i>.<br />

It's typical boy meets girl they hit it off and kinda fall in love with each other rather quickly and, as you may guess from the title, sleep together and afterwards break up.. Themes explored in the film are the process of getting into a relationship at a teen age as well as being in the ''friendzone'' and the importance of loosing your virginity. It's a typical romantic comedy aimed at teenagers, but it is very refreshingly different. A little bit 'hipster', a little bit 'indie'.. I really enjoyed it because due to the lack of cheese it was way more realistic and just touched my heart in a different way (god, now I sound cheesy :S), and I must say I am normally a sucker for the traditional cheesy rom-coms.<br />

Aubrey is totally artsy and has a seriously cool room, in which she has collage-ed all the walls with new papers to make giant waves and it's amazing and I don't even know why I'm going on about this but I just thought it was SO cool! Well yeah, there's loads and loads of butterfly moments, because they're just SO SWEET I was like... I can't.. I just can't!! And then also majorly awkward moments were I was having to look away as to bear the awkwardness without laughing out loud. So it basically describes a teenagers life perfectly. Awkwardness and raging hormones!!<br />

Just brilliant, I'm voting it best romantic comedy of 2012 for sure!<br />
<br />
Kay, today I'm on schedule again.. Yay, hashtag-so-proud.. and yeah just before I leave I need to show you this new song I found.. It's a cover of Rihanna who I have started to not like anymore, she's not just become too commercial but her voice which is pretty unique, now just blends in with all the other pop singers :S Shame.. But yeah, I watched this cover by Lana McKissack and Chester See which is pretty much a parody but if you don't look at the video it's a f*cking amazing cover! I can't get this song out of my head since then! So, just give it a listen please, it's seriously good! Byeeee see ya!<br />

Critisized by the Critics! One of the weirdest comedies ever! We've GOT to see this.<br />
<div>
Can you guess where I'm going with this? I watched <i>Movie 43</i> this weekend. Ohmigod I can't even begin to describe it. Basically just: RANDOM! It was so weird I laughed the whole way through. </div>
<div>
The international version goes like this. Three teenager on the search for the most dangerous film in the world, and on the way there they find loads of reaaally strange little films. Some of the ''big names'' featured in this film are Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, Richard Gere, Halley Berry, Elizabeth Banks, Anna Faris, Seann William Scott, Uma Thurman, Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Gerard Butler (as a Leprichaun, ohhh yeahhhh! :D)...<br />
The first one was a film ''starring'' Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet and it starts out as this really good blind date, romantic comedy style but then all of a sudden, he takes his scarf of and he literally has testicles hanging from his Adams apple. Kate's character is freaked out but stays polite and continues her date with him, but it turns more and more embarrassing by the minute as he dribbles some soup on them and she then has to tell him he ''has something there''.. The highlight is when a enthusiastic common friend wants to take a picture of the two of them and the testicles hang right next to her face and she is sitting there with a horrified expression on her face. This scene was so abstract and strange that the embarrassment factor of the woman was quite funny.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Not Missing Out On The Typical High School Experience?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The scene after that was a couple being over to dinner at their new neighbours and them telling them all about their son and his homeschooling. The mother in this scene is played my Naomi Watts. The parents explain that they don't want their son to miss out on a complete high school experience, so they give him exams and homework and all of that. But they also want to enable him to know what the social side of high school can be like so they haze and bully him, and also exclude him from typical high school parties in his own house. last of all the mother explains that he doesn't even have to miss out on the horribly embarrassing moment that is a first kiss. And guess who the girl is.... His mom... It is so painful to watch the build up to the actual kiss that the entire cinema was groaning in horror and disgust. There were also a couple of laughs, it was so strange no one really knew how to react. As a conclusion to this snippet, it is shown how the new neighbours meet the son who is apparently going on a date with his girlfriend and who seems like any normal teenager, so you begin to wonder if these extreme measures of education actually worked, but then he introduced his girlfriend to the neighbours and she turns out to be a puppet. I have never seen anything so strange, I think, in a film.<br />

I'm sorry this has just be laying around on my To-Do List 'cos I decided I'm not gonna stress myself for a post every week, if something comes to me... Good, if it doesn't.... What a shame.. I'm hoping to get back into a good routine this way, but I can't promise anything school's been a b*tch... Urgh, why am I lying.. PROCRASTINATION's been a b*tch!! That's the only truth there is... I got hooked onto <i>White Collar</i> (with Matt Bomerrrr *brow arch* :D) and then <i>Smash</i> and I am feeling much much more inclined to talk to you about that!!<br />
SO, <i>White Collar</i> is about Neal Caffrey a convicted forger and con-man who is incredibly handsome and struck a deal with the FBI to help them on their cases in order to get out of prison... Don't worry, he still wears an anklet.. Well yeah he has a best friend who is called Mozzie, fellow white collar criminal and very, very into conspiracy theories, but a good guy at heart! I love Mozzie, he's being played by Willie Garson, who is so, so, so cuttteee I loved him in <i>Sex And The City</i> and I still love him now!! He might just be the most adorable, most sympathetic full time criminal I know on television!<br />
Well yeah, it's a white collar crime series, which basically means that there's usually no murders and it makes it all a little bit more interesting, art forgery, cons and a lot of lock picking, which is what I reaaaally, really want to learn since I've been watching this, as well as pick pocketing!<br />
I can't resist a con-man's smile and it doesn't help that love interest Sara Ellis is a beautiful redhead who I can SO identify myself with her! :DD I love Neal and the whole art thievery theme!! Art has always SO been my thing, and I might be a nerd but I think art crimes are the MOST interesting ones at alll!<br />

And then I started watching <i>Smash</i> it's a Broadway musical kind of show! And well how can I NOT love it? It follows two girls going for one part in a production for a ''Marylin Musical'' there's loads of drama in the cast and crew.. Ivy is the curvy blonde with ten years of Broadway experience and then there is Karen the mid-western ''moonfaced'' freshling who is soo much nicer and I will always be rooting for her because Ivy sleeps with the director and gets the part that way! Well yes drama, drama, drama! Who could resist it? And the songs!! I was worried I wouldn't like it because with original songs it's more difficult to connect because you don't know them, but they're absolutely brilliant and there's something modern mixed in with it too!<br />
Might talk some more about this in the future but I'm not making any promises just yet!! Happy to finally have one finished again!! Bye Byeeee<br />

I felt a little bit empty inside (this is a joke, please do not send me a perscription for drugs or a recomendation o a mental institute :D) when I finished watching <i>Sex And The City</i>, I just really enjoy the friendship that the show is about. My favourite is Charlotte by the way, I love the way you can see the white in her eyes when she gets excited, little bit like a horse, I think it's sweet that she believes in true love and all that! Well yeah after all that, I went on the search for another fill in series, prefferably something to do with criminal investigation (WHOOP WHOOP <i>Body Of Proof</i> is back today!!) since I've had such good experiences with this genre recently :) Well, I was always intriged by <i>Nikita</i> because the posters are cool, so when Tastekid.com recomended it to me I read something about it and it reminded me of the <i>Uglies</i> book series which I loved. I started watching it, and I am now obsessed.</div>
<div>
I had holidays, so I had nothing to do all day, actually I had a hell of a lot to do but I decided that watching <i>Nikita</i> was more important.. O:) I watched twenty-two episodes in two days, DON'T JUDGE!<br />What I have to say about the show is that I kinda love it. It's brilliant from the first episode on, and I love the way they are unfolding the story line piece by piece so that you slowly get to know what happened in the past. The whole series is not so much a crime series but more action, this is a very uncommon genre for a series and is through this uniquness even more successful. I really like it due to this fact because I love action films and this is like bunch of tiny little <i>Mission Impossible</i>s.. The story is about Nikita (Maggie Q) who was forced to become a spy and assassin for a now-rogue government organization, called Division, who is trying to bring this organization down, for all the killing they forced her to do etc. She has an inside agent, Alex (Lyndsey Fonseca), who is currently being trained to become a Division agent. Nikita's love interest is Michael (Shane West), who is her former trainer but later also turn on Division.</div>

By now Alex has turned out to be the thought dead daughter of a dead Russian power player, and she has turned on Nikita for not telling her that it was her who killed her family on a mission for Division, she has also 'graduated' from being a recruit and is now in the real world again, and there is always a sign that she is still a bit sympathetic towards Nikita. My favourate bit of the show was when she was inside dividision though, 'cos it was reeally risky and cool and stuff, and it got really tense because the scary investigator woman, Amanda, knew something was up and put her though a bunch of lie detectors and truth serum etcetera. But now it's still good.</div>

Nikita can't destroy Division before she does the 'black boxes' because the secrets are so bad the whole world would be crippeled by the truth. She has made allies a long the way, not just Alex and Michael, but there are also Owen (Devon Sawa, I love him.), a former Guardian of a 'black box', Birkhoff, the former Divison head technician, a bloody genius and hilarius because he kind of thinks he's god, and Ryan a CIA agent she ''made into a hero'' and who's life she saved. </div>

I was re-watching <i>Sex And The City</i> as my fill in series and I got quite attached as you might have noticed.<br />
Well to make up for that I went and did a slightly illegal cinema marathon.. O:) With that I mean pay for one film watch it and then just slip into another showing... Hehe, it worked without complications and so it is that I watched <i>The Impossible</i> and then <i>Warm Bodies</i> in one sitting...<br />
Imma start with <i>The</i> <i>Impossible</i>. For a film, which's trailer made me have tears in my eyes it wasn't really sad enough. I mean congrats to the people who made the trailer, you did an absolutely amazing job advertising this film, but I must say that I felt a teeny tiny bit disappointed afterwards. The film relies on the true story of the Belón family. The family is on holiday in Thailand when the massive wave hits them and they get separated. The mother and the eldest son stay together and the father is left with the two youngest sons. The film is about their surviving the tsunami and then their search to find each other amongst the hundreds of thousands of victims.<br />
In the survival part of the film the story follows the mother, Maria, and Lucas, and later the young boy they find and rescue called Daniel. The mother has a gaping holes in her chest and thigh, which where so graphically shown I just had a wave of nausea come over me just thinking about it. It was a LOT more 'gory' than I thought it would be. I really liked Lucas, the actor Tom Holland did an amazing job at portraying him and has already won some awards for his performance. Lucas is the thirteen year old son of the family who now has to step up and take care of his terribly injured mother and the baby they saved. Tom acts believably the conflict of responsibility and youth, and managed to portray a character that is significantly younger than himself (he's 16). He takes responsibility of his family and saves his mother by urging her on and not telling her how badly she is injured; and later helps unite families that are searching for lost members.<br />

One of the best scenes of the film is when he brings a Swedish man to his son. It is such a sweet scene, and it brought tears to my eyes, especially as Lucas himself still thought that his father and his two younger brothers might be dead. You can see the hopefulness but also the sadness in him at the same time.<br />
In the end after minutes of running past each other and the viewer wanting to scream out of frustration Lucas finds first his younger brothers and then his father, and at that point a tear might have rolled down my cheek. The mother is flown to Singapore to be operated and all ends well, but it is clear that many families did not have the fortune of such a happy ending and the viewer finally gets, at least a little, the understanding of what it must have been like to have survived.<br />

One of the funniest things was that we met a couple from our year that everyone knew was on the verge of dating so it was fun for us, and probably quite awkward for them. Sorry for that guys! Well after those forty minutes I was pretty much starving so we went to buy popcorn and then snuck into the next showing: <i>Warm Bodies</i> with Nicholas Hoult (<i>About A Boy</i>,<i> <b>Skins</b></i>) and Teresa Palmer (<i>I Am Number Four</i>). I just quickly have to say that I have a massive girl crush on her, I think she is reeeallly pretty, and so cool 'cos she always has these gun bearing bad ass chick roles.<br />

Well the story is pretty much about a Zombie, R, who falls in love with on of the few alive people, Julie, then saves her from his fellow zombies, who want to eat her brains, and him slowly becoming more alive again through this human contact. The end is a battle between the zombies and alive people, who form an alliance, and the zombies who are already past saving, Bonies. And guess who wins? Happy ever after and all that, but really its a sweet film, and much less cliché than I thought it would be. In reality it's quite a comedy which really comes as a surprise to the viewer, or at least to me.. The whole film is done with a voice over of what R thinks, as zombies are only able to talk very limitedly due to their slowly exhuming brain capacity, this is a very good thing, and makes it even more funny. R thinks things like ''don't be creepy, don't be creepy... oh sh*t!'' which makes him very relatable. Which girl has not thought ''don't act stupid, don't be a clutz!'' when she's around her crush and I guess boys aren't that different.. So it's refreshing that this was included in the film making it a little more realistic, even though it's still totally unrealistic.<br />
And it's very well acted on both accounts. Nicholas does a really good job of playing a character that is trapped within his own dead body, and Teresa is really good at being creeped out but brave at the same time. I still have to give Nicholas the most credit, he plays the character with so much dedication and so much humour and he is a really good actor, I could have never done an entire zombie acting scene with out laughing, because it is so delightfully awkward.<br />

Julie's dad is the leader of the alive people and basically very close minded and hateful towards the zombies, he's played by John Malkovich (honestly, he always used to scare me a little bit because he looks a little bit crazy!) but yeah he also does an amazing job, what do you expect!? And finally the zombies and the alive people unite after R proves that his heart has started to beat again, through bleeding when he's shot; and the world is saved.<br />
Mhhhhmm, so proud I've finally gotten this done, thank you anyone that actually still reads this stuff! I'll try to post more regularly again!! Byeeeeee!<br />

This weekend I wanted to go to a 'Remember Tomorrowland Party' with the real and actual Dimitri Vegas! But... I had an Otitis (Ear Infection) last week and my mom wouldn't let me go because she didn't want me to get worse again! So I was really sad and my mom took me to see the new <i>Les Misérables</i> film in the cinema! I had never actually seen the musical and I didn't know a lot about the story so I was going into the film with no expectations. OHMIGOD IT WAS AMAZING!<br />
<div>
I'll tell you right now that I cried the entire second half of the film! It was so bad!! If you don't know the story of <i>Les Mis</i> it's about the June Rebellion in France, which really didn't result in any change sadly. It spans about twenty years and follows Jean Valjean a criminal imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread. He then goes on to become the mayor of a town when he is released and adopts a poor woman's daughter as she dies. He becomes involves with the Rebellion on the rebels side and finally also dies. The character was portrayed by Hugh Jackman, who I only really know as Wolverine and I was really surprised at how well he sings! The film also stars Anne Hathaway (Fantine), Amanda Seyfried (Cosette), Samantha Barks (Éponine), Eddie Redmayne (Marius), Russel Crowe (Javert), Helena Bohem Carter and Sasha Baron Cohen ('evil' innkeepers, the Thénardiers).</div>

The first song in the film was ''Look Down'' is goes ''look down, look down, you'll always see a slave..'' and that's really how things were at the time. Things were so bad that people were forced to do the most horrible things to survive themselves and then also got imprisoned for the most minor things because the ones who were actually better off would report on the others in order not to slip into any misfortune themselves.</div>

And It was really well portrayed how quickly that could happen, one day Fantine works in a factory and the next she is homeless and has to sell her body, because she has a daughter. In one of those really sad scenes she sings ''I Dreamed A Dream'' which really showed how she has given up on life and that the only thing she is living for is her little daughter. This was the first time that I really started crying! I mean Anne Hathaway may have her faults but she acted this scene to perfection. She can sing rather well, and she was crying at the same time and it was so so sad to see this scene. Just so beautiful! </div>
<div>
Then the film goes on to show how she dies and Jean Valjean, who is called Monsieur le Maire by now, takes in her daughter, Cosette. Later then the beginnings of the revolution and the directors and producers did an amazing job at portraying the restless mood at the time. Also we got to know Gavroche, he is a street child who is about nine or ten and he is kind of like a mascot for the revolutionists who are kind of like his family. He is really tough and sooo cute!!</div>

And then you meet the grown up Cosette who, as the daughter of the mayor, is quite rich and beautiful, the leader of the students, Marius, falls in love with her. The daughter of the Thénardiers, who were 'taking care' of Cosette while her mother was working, is called Éponine and in the beginning it's not quite clear if she's a b*tch or whatever.. I mean she comes from bad parents so you'd expect her to be bad as well. But more and more you start to feel sorry for her instead of cautious because you realise she's in love with Marius and he doesn't even look at her twice! She even helps him find the girl he's in love with, instead of snitching on Jean Valjean's location to Javert (mean police guy), which shows just how much she loves him and it's so heartbreaking because Marius doesn't even say thank you! And then she sings ''On My Own'' which is such a sad, sad song, it made me cry so much! Because it says how much she loves him but ''without me, his world keeps turning, a world of happiness, that I have never known!'' and Sam Barks just does a beautiful job of portraying her locked-up pain!<br />

Èponine goes on to be the only girl within the resistance and of course she's the one to die first.. Taking a bullet for Marius. A little Romeo and Juliette but such a nice scene, I still cry when I think of her final song! ''A Little Fall Of Rain'' (can hardly hurt me now..) And in that scene Marius holds her and tells her hes going to keep her safe and close and he wants to close her wounds with words of love and it me a snotty and blubbering mess. I really admire Èponine, I've read in interviews and stuff that Cosette is supposed to represent Love, and I strongly disagree with that claim: It's 'Ponine who represents the truest and purest love. She loves Marius so much that she doesn't even care about herself anymore. All she wants is for him to be happy! Cosette is a good girl she in my opinion presents the possibility of a positive future, also love but not anywhere NEAR as much as Èponine. ''And rain, will make.. the flowers... <span style="font-size: x-small;">grow</span>.''<br />
Then came the scene that made me sob out loud like a little baby! It's when the army comes back with the cannons and Gavroche tries to steal something from the front line. You can see it coming and it's inevitable. With the shots of a pistol an officer shoots the boy in the chest - I'm crying right now - and he dies. I couldn't contain myself after that I was full on crying as if he actually were my little brother, and I don't even have any siblings so I can't imagine the feeling of them dying. It's just so unfair how anything innocent and hopeful and beautiful has to die. It just shows how everything that was good was taken from those people! Èponine and Gavroche are my favourite characters by far! Another thing is that Javert (mean policeman guy) actually takes off his own medal and put it on Gavroche's dead body when they lined up the bodies!<br />

Javert turns out to be another character that you can only feel sorry for, Jean Valjean saves his life and he can't deal with the fact that life is not black and white so he kills himself.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The last scene is also so nice, it's the entire cast singing a song they were singing at the beginning of the rebellion and it is lead by the dead characters. It's like the encore would be in the live stage musical. The music is:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
''Do You Hear The People Sing..''</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Singing the songs of angry men.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the story of the people who will not be slaves again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the beating of your heart,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Echo's the beating of the drums,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The music is composed in a way that fills up your heart and makes you feel really proud and sad. I know this sounds ridiculous but it's how I felt at the moment. So so beautiful. It's the way a national anthem is supposed to feel when you sing it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Over all. I must say this is definitely one of the best films I have seen all year and I hope it wins a bunch of prizes and I know the singing's not the best because they're not really professional singers, but the superb acting balances it way out and it's a beautiful film. And just for the record Amanda Seyfried actually does have a beautiful voice.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope to see the real stage musical some time not to far away, and if the school ever decides to do a production of it, I'm in even if it's in the middle of my IB exams.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This turned out to be a massive post and I haven't said everything or expressed how I feel about this amazing piece of art nearly enough, but I have to stop now!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you haven't already, WATCH THE F*CKING FILM! It didn't let me go all weekend.. And I'm gonna say bye for the week!</div>

First of all sorry for being a lazy blogger... I didn't post last week :S Seriously I hate myself when I break schedule but sometimes I just do not have time.. It's an old line but sadly true..<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWlDFeSCMclj4Ijsj2LbzKDJ_NXPklOEfmxknoP5pK1dh2CyHMmroafq1Ham7Pi98ztBuS_IXSd3Z1rNbOCKyMagx4bE_pszbGy1W6ywz9jZn5Aehq8V3xi7ZglWj-UkGgAra7TvgtfLI/s1600/body+of+proof.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWlDFeSCMclj4Ijsj2LbzKDJ_NXPklOEfmxknoP5pK1dh2CyHMmroafq1Ham7Pi98ztBuS_IXSd3Z1rNbOCKyMagx4bE_pszbGy1W6ywz9jZn5Aehq8V3xi7ZglWj-UkGgAra7TvgtfLI/s320/body+of+proof.jpg" width="240" /></a>What I wanted to write about was the TV series <i>Body of Proof</i> with Dana Delany. I had watched about two episodes at a friends house a year ago or something, and now that I have a vacuum in my shows schedule I thought I'd pick it up again. I don't particularly like crime series or films but I remembered really liking the show so I gave it a try.. I find that it is actually something I enjoy watching and this might be due to the fact that it's got more of the medical side of the whole thing and that there is a lot of comedy in the series.<br />
It is about surgeon turned medical examiner Megan Hunt, who is divorced and has to deal with getting to know her teenage daughter again. She is a person who does what she wants and has very little friends. No friends she thinks, but it quickly shows itself that, actually, her work colleagues value her a lot and become her friends.<br />
I finished watching the entire thirty episodes (two seasons) in I think 4 days... Yeah.. That's how obsessed I was once I started watching it. But it has the perfect balance between mystery and laugh out loud moments and you really get to love the characters. Most of course Peter Dunlop, Megan's Investigator who kind of is the only one who really knows her. They flirt a lot and he's a really good guy, I think from the first episode I was already shipping them together! It would have been too perfect, too happily-ever-after-ly though.. Peter dies in the season two finale and you really get to see that they should be together, he saves her from a crazy serial killer who wants to kill her and then pull our her brain through her nose with an embalming hook the way the Egyptians used to... Well yeah he saves her and gets the hook wedged in his stomach and dies in her arms. And she cradles him and you can see the pain in her face.<br />

He as well as the two detectives are not coming back for season three which is premiering on the 19th of February.... I CAN'T waiiiittttt!!!!! But I'm gonna miss Peter and Bud SOOO much.. Sam I can deal with I was oddly fascinated by her because she's kind of manly and kind of beautiful at the same time, but I'm not gonna miss her... But PETERRRR!! :'( I mean Megan is technically still dating that other guy, and he seems quite sweet, but they're not soul mates!!! <br />
I really like the character of Megan, because she is a bit of a cold hearted b*tch, but also the opposite at the same time. She is just really likable, and I think Dana Delany is a big part of what she is such an enigmatic character. Dana is over 50 years old, has had no plastic surgery and looks absolutely amazing. She is a bit of an idol right now because she is totally cool. I thought she was thirty to forty when I started watching... But then again, I'm a HORRIBLE judge of age... :D But yeah over time I noticed that she does show some signs of ageing (like a soft chin) but you don't notice it until you really look because you know. That is graceful ageing my friends. Sorry I'm ranting, I have a bit of a girlcrush on her if you haven't noticed yet.<br />

It is a big reason why I watch the show because it is exactly what they do in that morgue, they are really respectful towards the dead and try to do them justice. And the series has the same respectful kind of theme.<br />
After finishing this I kind of was bored again, and then I started watching <i>Bones</i>. I thought it was a worse version of exactly the same thing and stopped after episode three. I've got nothing more to say about it. Then I started watching <i>The Mentalist</i> and I was finally happy again.<br />
It's another crime scene murder investigation show. It centres around Patrick Jane who is a ''mentalist''. He is a behaviour specialist who was a con-psychic for many years but turned into a consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation. His wife and daughter were murdered by a serial killer called Red John and Jane is out for revenge.<br />

It's not as good as <i>Body of Proof</i> in my humble opinion but its still pretty good. I love the constant conflict between Lisbon and Jane and I don't even need them to end up together. Differently so with Rigsby and Van Pelt!! OMG, those twooo!!!!! I'm shippiiinggg!! Hahah, and I'm slightly in love with Rigsby. Which surprised me because I thought I was going to like Jane, as he's the protagonist and has that cheeky smile thing going on. But yeah I like him, not love him. Rigsby is just such a darling.<br />
And I also love Cho :D not in that way though. I just think he is also very funny. In the casino murder episode I was amazed what a player he can be and I love the banter between him and Rigsby.<br />

I'm always more nervous when I watch this because in this series there is often a moment where someone almost gets pushed of a roof or shot or something.. Yeah, I just finished on season one with this and am excited to see what is about to happen with Rigsby and Van Pelt as well as Jane and Red John.<br />
So a lot of dead bodies and stuff at the moment.. don't worry I'm fine! :D<br />

I guess I've been busy... Actually, that's no excuse! Especially as so many of you are actually stumbling upon my blog recently, it really isn't fair for me to rest on my laurels... Truth is, I decided not to post during the Xmas hols because I was in Germany and I wanted to spend all my time with my family and not be the asocial person sitting in the corner on her laptop.<br />
And then, when I came back, school hit me like a big fat truck, that is, work, work, work, and more work. Teachers really don't have hearts I sometimes think. Worst thing, soon as I get home from absolutely FREEZING Germany I caught a cold, to be more specific, a pharyngitis that turned into bronchitis and rendered me speechless - literally. Currently I wish I could do sign language, the only way I can talk is by whispering and in lessons I need a translator to ask my questions.. And worse.. people think it's SO funny!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVe8VKm2pcaL9GbqBl8UsXwaKBUzCOlGS1f-0cHbDM1GN2JAo9ez1HTNOPtyC89z-ynlM2hPpFbhY2m3tATUyFHT2TT9jo8PNxzab68vCXa74Q0D-tEZZXyABvuUoBwN3ZUKPVUuqRSM/s1600/this+is+40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVe8VKm2pcaL9GbqBl8UsXwaKBUzCOlGS1f-0cHbDM1GN2JAo9ez1HTNOPtyC89z-ynlM2hPpFbhY2m3tATUyFHT2TT9jo8PNxzab68vCXa74Q0D-tEZZXyABvuUoBwN3ZUKPVUuqRSM/s320/this+is+40.jpg" width="320" /></a>God, I gotta stop complaining.. Well I know that I have had a stressful time but I still managed to watch some interesting stuff while doing art homework and whatnot..<br />
The first thing I want to talk about is Paul Rudd's new film <i>This Is 40</i>. I watched it with quite high expectations because the trailer is funny, and in <i>Knocked Up</i> the couple were very funny characters, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped I would. To primarily angry middle aged people who can't get their sh*t together does not provide a lot of entertainment value for me.. Maybe I'm just not old enough yet, I should have asked my mom to watch it with me.<br />
This film I did watch with my mom, <i>Becoming Jane</i>, the film about Jane Austen's life featuring Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy. I actually did enjoy this film, as I do most films that play in this time where people are civilised. I am such a sucker for a good romance... Don't judge!!<br />

Well it opens a little bit slow, and at first the story is quite confusing.. I had some laughs in the arguments between Jane and Tom, and thought it especially funny how 'prude' they were in those times.. Reading about animal coitus in a nature book, equals reading <i>50 Shades</i> in the now world. The dresses and the dancing and the gentlemen are just sooo nicee! I kept feeling sorry for that poor lonely rich boy that she rejected!! I mean he didn't even look that bad and he had excellent manners and he was rich, and nice as well, I kinds kept hoping she would realise that but, at the same time she HAD to get together with Tom! The scene in which she decided she can't elope with him, is so sad, but I really only felt it right in the end when they meet again and he called his daughter Jane!! So sad! THAT's when I got tears in my eyes!! Overall, I won't watch it again, not as good as <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> obviously, but still a good watch...<br />

Now, something I feel very passionately about. F*CKING MATTHEW from <i>Downton Abbey</i> F*CKING DYING, THE TW*T! Like seriously! I read up about it and found that the actor had quit the role in order to follow other projects and widen his range of opportunities of something... I was SO mad when I read this, I mean he is one of the main characters, they already killed of Sybill, now they've got to single parents and two babies... I mean at least Mary has a son, so there's a heir and all that but.. I can't even.. I already knew it would happen when he was driving home all happy and stuff. I can't believe he did this to millions of viewers. I love the character so much that I am so, so, so mad at the actor even though, as a person I should probably congratulate him... Still. He was such a nice person, he dealt with Mary's b*tching and was always friendly with everyone. I knew that something horrible would happen, I would even have been OK if the baby had died. But no. THIS is the only outcome i CANNOT accept.<br />
I honestly doubt Mary can every be happy again, I think she might go crazy or something. Also, if more actors who are that important quit, say Maggie Smith dies of a heart attack (although this would be reasonable... She IS old), I will stop watching it. NO KIDDING.<br />

The last episode was a bit cheesy and a bit cramped full of everything but it was still good. Except for I didn't like Dan as 'Gossip Girl' I honestly thought it was going to be Nelly Yuki or Dorota, that would have been sooo much more interesting. As well as I didn't want Dan ending up with Serena, in the beginning they were a cute couple,... kind of.. but then they split up and got back together so many times that it got boring. I was hoping for a little bit of Dan/Georgina action and maybe a bit of Serena/Nate!! But I must say Georgina/Jack Bass was also kind of genius. Well, one thing I have to applaud though is Blair and Chuck, for a long time in the middle I wanted them to be apart 'cos Chuck had turned into a mega-gigantic-annoying-twit but now love is in the air again.. Yay, and yeah... The wedding dress: beauteous, gorgeous, wondrous, incredulous.. I don't know how better to describe it!! Jenny and Eric where also squeezed in there in the end, and a lot of other people, who I had kind of forgotten who they were... and Lilly and Rufus finally united again. Amen. That's how I like it!! I'm gonna miss the divas of the upper east side!! But the end was kind of hinting at a second generation.. We will see, I almost hope they leave it how it is because I think with another generation they have the power to absolutely ruin it!<br />

The last thing I wanted to inform you people of is that I am in love, like a twelve year old, with the <i>Percy Jackson</i> book series!! Seriously awesome!! I have finished the most recent book, and am now going to read the Egyptian series by Rick Riordan while waiting for August 2013!! If you don't know the book series or were fazed by the film, read it/give it another try!! I loved it! that can be just because I love ancient history or because the relationships and the stories are actually seriously cute!! I love how the ancient world is integrated into modern day life and how you learn about the Greek and roman gods while you read. I seriously feel like I need to draw a picture of this. I'll do that and then put it on <a href="http://deviantart.com/" target="_blank">deviantArt</a> so that you can see it!!<br />
So today was a bit of a pick and mix, the last thing I want to say is thanks for your patience and thanks for coming back to read my blog every now and then!!<br />

Well done me! Pat on the back old chum :D But I did go to the cinema and watch <i>The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey</i>. I mainly did do because the hobbit Bilbo Baggins is portrayed by Martin Freeman, my dear sweet John Watson from BBC's <i>Sherlock</i>. I only once watched one of the <i>Lord Of The Rings</i> film, but it doesn't really count because I didn't understand much and I thought it was pretty boring. So this was kind of my first <i>Lord Of The Rings</i> experience and I can't say it was bad.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4rL7NmOtmq4blMHtiFetZgFMQ2nRhm3qNckQGFx-zLlvHpp5YDFcTioarWMImWQUhfhsbZ-MrXLds1yAH0Ds4ggA3VJMZmyNEj_d8zR0Fv9v94LYxtf5lK3grA7qMUGt9m0CM2bZKyCM/s1600/the+hobbit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4rL7NmOtmq4blMHtiFetZgFMQ2nRhm3qNckQGFx-zLlvHpp5YDFcTioarWMImWQUhfhsbZ-MrXLds1yAH0Ds4ggA3VJMZmyNEj_d8zR0Fv9v94LYxtf5lK3grA7qMUGt9m0CM2bZKyCM/s320/the+hobbit.jpg" width="320" /></a>Well, the film is set in the past, In the beginning of the film we can see an older Bilbo Baggins writing down the story for his nephew Frodo. The story starts with Gandalf coming to Bilbo's house inviting him to his adventure to travel to Eriador and he sends a bunch of dwarves to Bilbo's house for a party, the latter isn't very happy about people messing up his ordinary - quite boring - life and refuses to come, but decides otherwise when he realises the offer was genuine the next morning.<br />
They travel together, fight mountain trolls and orcs and they become friends. They also find some elf made swords for Bilbo, Gandalf and the dwarf prince Thorin. They find the elf capital while running from the orcs and their horrible massive dog horses and they meet the elves. I really like them and their style because I kind of really imagine elfves that way!! I already always thought of them Christopher Paulani's <i>Inheritance Cylce</i> like that! Like really straight hair, tall and thin and graceful. No disappointments there. :D Especially the old elven king was really cool, he looked like he was about a thousand years old! I really respect actors who act their whole lives and keep on going because they love it so much. I was actually scared the guy would suddenly collapse!<br />
Then Bilbo and his friends meet some really unfriendly rock giants. Like, literally massive giants made of rock. They were so bulky and stuff, they reminded me of Lego transformers, heheh. And then they fall into a trap and end up in the halls of the Goblin king who is really really fat. There Bilbo meets Gollum. Now let me tell you about that little monster creep. On the one side he is really cute and reminds me of Dobby with is massive eyes and bony body, but on the other hand he's an evil little bastard who creeps me the f*ck out!! I was sitting there with my hands clamped together in order not to hurt my self from a scared reaction. I have this perfect technique of teeth and hand clamping and putting my body in the perfect position so that I don't hurt myself when I get a fright. :P<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdFrrmEcMUOPhyphenhyphen8YKVJiY_XikDK67tb87r_FDw1r7Sm3mUWjpDwRAlknYhQAizeILrhlwkHa09S4_EPkG2ugh3D0C2Tqahed3tp8LFdhiNoxi3S1xZQoYYrwLhz0SGk9gvQLEMMxVdqnY/s1600/gollum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdFrrmEcMUOPhyphenhyphen8YKVJiY_XikDK67tb87r_FDw1r7Sm3mUWjpDwRAlknYhQAizeILrhlwkHa09S4_EPkG2ugh3D0C2Tqahed3tp8LFdhiNoxi3S1xZQoYYrwLhz0SGk9gvQLEMMxVdqnY/s320/gollum.jpg" width="320" /></a>Well yeah, Bilbo meets Gollum and makes him tell him the way out through a game of riddles and accidentally finds the ring that Gollum lost. When the latter realises this he goes into a full out frenzy which is also quite scary and Bilbo puts on the ring and turns invisible. *Sigh of relief*<br />
After that little incident they have to fight more orcs including the big white orc who has a personal grudge against Thorin, so yeah fight ensues, Thorin nearly dead, massive eagles save everyone and they set of again. The film ends with them seeing Eriador on the horizon and the dragon Shmaug awakening in the mountain.<br />
Over all I quite enjoyed the film, it was only strange that the film took 190minutes.. That's three hours and ten minutes.. And it only represented A THIRD of the book. And I haven't even read the books and I know that <i>The Hobbit</i> was the shortest by far.. People really just wanna make a mountain of money. One of the thing I really enjoyed though was the quality of the CGI which was really apparent to me due to my previous pretty bad experience with it in <i>Breaking Dawn 2</i>. Another thing I only found out afterwards but totally love is that Benedict Cumberbatch played the evil Necromancer that also appears somewhere along the story. I hope they give him a bigger role in the follow up films :D<br />

Something else I got into through a friend, Lissa, was the TV show <i>Perception</i>. It stars Eric McCormac as a schizophrenic paranoid neuroscientist who helps the FBI with some of their brain involving cases. And I guess if the cases are serious enough to be sent to the FBI they often involve some brain damaged people. Dr. Daniel Pierce hallucinates and is a bit eccentric but he is a really nice guy who everyone actually likes even though he's a bit quirky.. :D His hallucinations are reflections of his own brain talking to him, which help him figure out his life of riddles and puzzles, because he's also kinda a genius who is so smart he doesn't even realise what brilliant thoughts he thinks consciously.<br />
It's another variant of the Sherlock Holmes stories, I am aware of that, and I like it nowhere near as much as the actual <i>Sherlock</i> or even <i>Elementary</i> but it's still pretty good. I watched the ten episodes of with the first series consists just this weekend which probably also contributed to my lack of homework-doing. The series came out over the summer so I'm kinda a bit late in a way, but I'm glad I found it. It's already been promised a second series with more episodes next summer which I'm looking forward too!!<br />

Mwaaahh, I couldn't be any surgeon!! But yeah, the brain is a seriously complex and interesting thing and I might never major in it or become a Dr. but maybe it'll be worth taking for a semester when I am at uni! We'll see! :D<br />
See ya next week and thanks so much for all the view this month has been crazy! About halfway through and already more than in November! :O :D Keep reading!!<br />
Byeee! XX<br />

Yaayy!<br />
<div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EAuzyz2gamA/UMTdDYUJuVI/AAAAAAAAA0w/1IPALtvFazc/s1600/pitch+perfect.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EAuzyz2gamA/UMTdDYUJuVI/AAAAAAAAA0w/1IPALtvFazc/s1600/pitch+perfect.jpg" /></a>So I watched this film yesterday that is called <i>Pitch Perfect</i>, and it's been out since September, but I've only seen now, and I actually liked it a lot!</div>
<div>
It's a musical comedy, it's cheesy and predictable, but sometimes even those films are good! :D Especially if they've got Rebel Wilson in them! She's such a funny person! I think she's the female Jonah Hill, ohmigod, if they got together and had babies!! :') But they're probably too similar for that! Well, she plays an auzzie girl who calls herself ''Fat Amy'' so that other ''twig b*tches'' don't do it behind her back, and she's quite funny and confident in herself and a really appealing character! But she's not the lead character.</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu17GcZrrwtWvy2VJxDS_Fb9vEgne12u0M4QQz43nicw1E9_YXvlZVUOl72h2w2oFI-kL8FmuBUDi0wW0v3OL3zI0576MYBsCGBfhYix3C7VSQWjUCHXziLTvshs1e7uZsJnuZUTZwcwv_/s1600/pitch+perfect+-+aca-scuse+me.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu17GcZrrwtWvy2VJxDS_Fb9vEgne12u0M4QQz43nicw1E9_YXvlZVUOl72h2w2oFI-kL8FmuBUDi0wW0v3OL3zI0576MYBsCGBfhYix3C7VSQWjUCHXziLTvshs1e7uZsJnuZUTZwcwv_/s1600/pitch+perfect+-+aca-scuse+me.gif" /></a>That is a girl called Beca played by Anna Kendrick, who's best known for playing <i>Twilight</i>'s Jessica. She's a really cool character I think! She's wants to be a DJ, and is mixing tunes all the time, and I actually think that's quite a cool job to do! Ever since I've started listening to BBC Radio 1, and especially Grimmy (Nick Grimshaw) and Scott Mills I've SO want to become a radio DJ! Well, Beca is forced to join a club in Uni by her Dad, who says that he will only support her quitting Uni and doing music instead if she really tries to fit in and like Uni. </div>
<div>
So she joins the ''Bellas'', an acapella group who is lead by a totally up-tight, controlling girl, Aubrey, who failed embarracingly at the last Collegial Accapella Nationals, which means she's even more up-tight and controlling because she wants to redeem herself. This girl is portrayed by Anna Camp, who is also <i>True Blood</i>'s Sarah Newlin, which I realised about halfway through. Another reason to like the film. :)</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqW8CpEIgoMrguB4xHKqjmjztwCVyDxO2bwM9ktqtqTb0dW18zR6TemDqPHOiFRdQavRh6d7qJsnALp-IvMlraaq1pXllDy17okvlkhnHVPUDKuun7gRv21YwSQxxgg5v78KOYLOqcY8q/s1600/freddie+stroma.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqW8CpEIgoMrguB4xHKqjmjztwCVyDxO2bwM9ktqtqTb0dW18zR6TemDqPHOiFRdQavRh6d7qJsnALp-IvMlraaq1pXllDy17okvlkhnHVPUDKuun7gRv21YwSQxxgg5v78KOYLOqcY8q/s400/freddie+stroma.jpg" width="257" /></a>The Bellas are a complete chaos with all the new members and the pressure. But they all get along quite well and Beca even finds herself a romantic interest, a fellow intern at the local radio station. And then they go to regionals and come in second place, and then they lose in the semi finals, but through Elimination of another finalist they're back in the running. They have a fight because of Aubrey's behaviour, and Beca finally shows them that they need to freshen up their song choice and do something more modern. So at finals they do a really cool mash up of 'Price Tag', 'Don't You (Forget About Me)', 'Give Me Everything', 'Just The Way You Are', 'Party In The USA' and 'Turn The Beat Around'<span style="line-height: 19.166667938232422px;">. And then Beca and the guy finally kiss and the film ends on Beca leading the Bellas in the auditions for the past year, perhaps leaving space for a sequel...? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 19.166667938232422px;">I also got a new cutie from the film, the runner of the radio station that Beca interns at. He is a cute Brit played by Freddie Stroma, who is actually half German and half Swedish, and I must say he's got a nice six pack!!! And also he played Cormach McLaren in the <i>Harry Potter</i> series. I like him. He's cute! A lot cute! And German.. :D I wonder if he actually speaks German... </span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 19.166667938232422px;">Well yeah, really, really funny film that I enjoyed quite a lot, will watch sequel if they do make one and I haven't matured much more than I have now. :D</span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 19.166667938232422px;">I'll leave you with a few of my absolute fave quotes and a vid of the ''Riff Off'' which is basically an acapella street battle! Ô.õ</span></div>

I mean, seriously, this is getting ridiculous!! It's Thursday for goodness sakes! On the other hand, I have been blogging every day for the past three days but I've kinda been doing that on my CAS blog because I intend to get good grades for my first IB report. Actually, no, I've already ruined that. I recently received a Chem test with a 2 on it. 25%... NOT optimal, not even OK... Very bad! and I'm down to a 4 in Maths. Well, it's not my final grade and I should calm down probs!<br />

I only have one-and-a-half weeks of school left and then holidays, ERMERGED! And then I'm going to Germanyyy, the only annoying thing is that I'll be gone for the full two weeks which means that I'm missing any awesome End-Of-The-World-Parties here in Portugal! And I haven't gone out in suuuuchhh a long time! I guess it has to do with the weather, this stupid rain really doesn't put me in the mood, as well as the fact that I just had a boyfriend so going out and flirting with other boys wasn't really on the top of my list anymore..</div>
<div>
Since I've finished <i>Skins</i> as my fill in series I have been reading a lot more.. Remember those posts in which I was complaining that I wasn't able to finish that one <i>PLL</i> book? Well, I finished it and then I read the following two books of the series and THEN I read the first two books of the <i>Percy Jackson</i> series! And I still have a few <i>Percy</i>s to go, as well as Tolsroy's <i>Anna Karenina</i>. I saw the trailer for the film and I read up on it and the stuff I found seemed quite interesting, I mean it's described as the best novel to have ever been written, how could I NOT read it? I got the book yesterday though and realised that even in paper back version it is seriously thick, and it has really, really, REALLY thin pages and tiny script! I'll be sure to write about that when I read it! Also about the film! (It has Keira Knightley in it.. I think she's really cool! :D)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
What I've been doing in my free time otherwise is mainly watch my normal series which are wonderously dramatic and good! Recently I've been made to laugh out reeaaally loudly by <i>Misfits</i>! I really don't like the fact that now the ENTIRE original cast is dead or in America of something but I guess I'll have to deal, Rudy is still pretty funny! And HOW in the WORLD did he actually shag ninety-nine girls!? Not good looking and a d*ck! Moving on! The ''guy from the bar'' as Finn puts it is missing a p*nis... Ohmigod, I laughed so much!! Who comes up with this stuff!???? I mean misfits is always pretty crazy, Jesus Jr., Zombie Cheerleaders and now Murderous Golfer Rabbits!! I still wouldn't miss it!</div>

In the last episode Dixon was NOT in a good mood and also quite intimidating.. Quote: ''I OWN you!'' *stink face* Drama, drama, drama, blah! I'm still really happy for Silver and hope she does have Teddy's baby!</div>

<div>
<i>Gossip Girl</i> is also interesting, since Sage brought b*tchfigths back to the Upper East Side things are a lot more interesting, Chuck may have been through a depressed spot but now Lily finally believes him!! YAY! Go Lily!! Dan is an a*s who should be punched in the face... THANKS NATE! And S and B are friends again. I'm quite happy with how things are but I'm still waiting for Little J - Jenny - and Eric to come back!!</div>
<div>
My new fill in program is <i>Never Mind The Buzzcocks</i>, a British music quiz which is always reallly entertaining due to the very much comedic Noel Fielding!! I really, really, really hope that he and Russel Brand will be put on the same team for <i>The Big Fat Quiz Of 2012</i>!! Those two are legends! </div>
<div>
I haven't been very motivated to write this week because I didn't reallly have anything good to tell you but it was good just catching up I guess! :D</div>
<div>

The internet is lagging so I can't watch <i>Misfits</i>... :( This is only second choice entertainment.<br />
<div>
Well in this room there are currently a girl crying about her bad maths grade which totally annoys me because, f*cking hell, it's a maths grade.. Get over it dude.. And she is cuddeling with her best friend in a slightly inappropriate way, seeing as he has a girlfriend him self.. Sorry, I don't know why this annoys me so much, I just don't like attention seekers..</div>
<div>
On Friday night, I went to watch <i>Breaking Dawn Part Two </i>with two friends. It was to my expectations... I didn't particularly like it. I mean, I didn't really like any of the films. The one before this one wasn't so bad due to the really gross scenes involving breaking spines and birth and injections to the heart and a lot of blood.. But in this film it seemed like there was so much CGI done in so little time that it wasn't completely finished. Also they left out so many little details that were really sad! I can understand that in a film you can't put in all the details but, often, they're the thing that makes the book worth while.. Things like Bella's first hunting trip in which she is scared to jump out of the window because there still are human remainders in her and then getting to know more of the foreign vampires and the scenes with the guy who makes false papers for Renesmee and Jack.. One of my favourite characters in the book was Maggie, a gifted vamp from Ireland who knew if people were telling the truth, hasn't even got lines in the film. The complicated vampire politics and coven structures are some of the more interesting things that were completely left out. </div>

My favourite things were the nomad Alistair, and the relationship between voltage Kate and Garrett! And the amazones are pretty cool to I guess! And also the twist at the end. And also I think they did a good job from transforming her from human Bella into pretty vamp Bella. But otherwise, not worth it. Baby Renesmee was completely CGI and her ageing process really doesn't work. The wolves have gotten a lot better since their first appearance but they're still not realistic enough. One good thing though, they were actually tell-appartable, so it allowed the audience to sympathize more. Another thing: They had the whole credits at the beginning of the film, which is very retro, and sometimes I think it's quite cool, but in this case it goes on and on and ON, and that just gets really boring after a while if only acompanied with landscape shots...<br />
Some girls in my class said they cried because the end was so beautiful... Bullsh*t. I only liked the song, because Christina Perri is quite cool, and I like her music and <i>A Thousand Years</i> is actually a nice song, but all the pictures and the cast roll were again actually quite boring.<br />

And don't even get me started on the flower meadow scene. We get it! It's one of the stories consistent images that binds the fricking story together. It represents her innocence and her fragility as a human... Yeah, yeah, nice way to end the film by making her sparkle.. All is RUINED by making her sparkle!! The sparkling is a really bad effect!! Seriously, ALL integrity that the makers of the film had earned through the fight scene that didn't actually really happen, which was the most awsomest bit of the film, is LOST, by making her f*cking sparkle. It takes away allll the reality and action and whatever there was and makes it a ridiculous cliché again.<br />

The scene I just mentioned, is something that happens in Alice's mind, it's a vision she had about what is going to happen if Aro attacks, which she transferees to him. It kind of starts of without the audience realising that it's not real, and immediately Carlisle dies. And all the people went: *GASP* it was probably the best and the most horrible moment in the film! and then there is some absolutely brilliant fighting and loads of people die, including Seth and Lea, most of the Cullens and even Jake and Renesme, and finally the three Volturi brothers!<br />
I will stop ranting now, because it's late and I could go on forever....<br />

I am really sorry for being such a lazy cow! I am just under immense stress due to my seriously massive homework load! Two essays and a chemistry write up, and also four double pages in my art book... F****ckkkkkkk!<br />
I had started watching <i>Skins</i> ages ago, but I only watched one episode and never really got into it... Now Inês loved it and convinced me to start it again since I finished my other fill in series.. I watched all 10 series of <i>Friends</i>, hehe..<br />

Turns out, <i>Skins</i> isn't so bad! I really started to like Tony's arrogant cockiness and who doesn't love sweet little Sid and kooky Cassie!? I just kept watching and I started to like it more and more.. Michelle was the only character that frequently annoyed me really! It's just 'cos she's so self centered and in love with Tony that she doesn't really give a sh*t about her friends anymore.. Like for instance, when Jal tries to tell her she's pregnant it takes FOREVER to her to actually realize what's going on. Yeah but Tony, he kinda IS a twat because he really isn't a very good boyfriend and he even tried to set up his best friend with his girl friend because he knows, Sid loved her and he's bored. But, we've gone through this a million times... I just always love the arrogant f*cks because I find them funny! And really he isn't that much of a f*ck.. He just pretends to be because it's what people expect.<br />

I really liked him, and felt sorry for him, in the second series, because due to his accident he becomes much more vulnerable and nicer too. And you really see his relationship with his sister which I love. It's so sweet! I always think that she is the only person that he really trusts ant loves, and the other way round too! Effy is a really intriguing character anyways because in the first series she has like literally no lines ans she seems like a mysterious and cool girl. Also the fact that she parties as hard as, if not harder than, her brother makes her also cool. I'm happy that she's a central character in the third and fourth series.<br />

Chris is also one of my favourites because I find his relationship with his teacher funny and then his relationship with Jal adorable. He is such a niche guy and even though he's kind of a f*ck-up and his like isn't very good, with both his parents running away, he always is in a good mood and up to anything.. Jal is also a sweet girl that has to be pretty much independent due to her distant family, I mean at least she has one, but her dad really doesn't seem like he's doing a good job.. I like her brothers though, because they'll protect her for any price, even though they seem like really annoying little gits in normal day-to-day life.<br />

And then theres Anwar and Maxxie, I thought Anwar was so funny! And Maxxie is such a nice guy! Anwar's modern-muslim-ness is so funny in my opinion! He is such a bad muslim, even after he feels guilty for sleeping with the Russian girl he doesn't get any better.. I really wanted him to end up with the pretty girl from the end of season one but instead he had that thing with that Sketch girl... But atleast he and Maxxie end up together! I think they're the sweetest friends!<br />

Sid and Cassie were the couple that I was rooting for all the time. Mostly because I could identify so well with Sid's stupid longtime crush on Michelle, and I know that it's not really healthy. I wanted him to snap out of it and I thought Cass might need a little of the love he needs to give. I think Cassie's eating issues are caused by the lack of love she gets, because she thinks that if she starves herself people will like her more. When Sid stands her up on one occasion she said ''I didn't eat for tree days, to be pretty for you!'' I felt so horrible! And then she leaves to Scotland and there's no hope for the two of them! :'(<br />

The end of the second series also killed me a little inside! I was soooo happy for Cass to finally have a real friend and Sid at once! And it was also good for Chris to have someone there during the hard part. And it was horrible for Jal to find out about it and then when he diesss! :'( :'( I felt so bad for Cassie, cos he died in her arms, I could totally understand that she just ran away, and I wanted to punch that stupid American dude for leaving her right away too! The Funeral was so sad too! I was actually crying on that bit! And Jal's speech was so beautiful! I hate that they exchanged the cast, because I miss the original people sooo much, I've only watched a few episodes of season 3 and I hope that I only have to get into it again, but I think it's gonna be hard.<br />
Well yeah, I'll keep on watching and I might tell you what I think of it then.<br />
I'm not writing much today 'cos the bell just rang and maths is over... I really should be concentrating, but who cares about Geometric Sequences and Series and Logs and all that stupid stuff!<br />
See ya next week, when, hopefully, I will manage to be more punctual!<br />

My bestie, Nesi, made me watch a film called <i>KiDULTHOOD</i> the other day and I think I need to talk about it. It's about a day in a bunch of kids lives in West London, actually when I say kids I mean fifteen year olds but I still think that that's pretty young for the themes in the film. It's British film, written by Noel Clark who is the actor that also played Rose Tyler's boyfriend in <i>Doctor Who</i> all those seasons ago!<br />

Well, the film came out in 2006, but it's still an amazing film which could just as well be brand new. The film starts with bullying in school resulting in the suicide of one girl, which gives the students a day off, which is the actual span of the film. So through this you got to know the main antagonist of the film, Sam Peel (Noel Clark), as well as Alisa, Trevor ''Trife'', and their friends. On their day off the guys steel and drink and get high, and decide to go visit Sam to get back Trife's game boy, they end up messing up his room, steeling his weed and having sex with his girlfriend. Sam comes back and to escape the boys beat him up and run.<br />

At the same time, the girls, Alisa and Becky, find out that Alisa is pregnant (with Trife's baby), but shop for a party, drink and do drugs anyways. What shocked me was that for this stuff, Becky payed with sex. These are fifteen year old girls. I hadn't even kissed a guy yet at age fifteen. I was so shocked!<br />
Later Trife has to go meet up with his ''Bad Man'' uncle Curtis, who welcomes him to the ''family'' after handing over a working gun that he made. And as a kind of ritual he has to carve a ''C'' into a guys face with a knife. It is the most gruesome scene I have seen recently. I felt sick afterwards. And again I need to say, this boy is fifteen, even though he acts so much more maturely than that. And I just wanted to hug him and hold him, and all my maternal feels came to the surface. He musta have been scared for life. He did break down crying after he ran away, I felt so horrible.<br />

Sam comes up behind him and starts beating Trife up as revenge. Alisa goes to get help but when she gets back Sam smashes in Trife's scull with a baseball bat.<br />
The violence and the pain seem really real in the film, the film in general feels really real and raw and it's really hard to go to sleep after watching it. It's so upsetting! The stuff these kids go through at that age is crazy, and I can totally believe that that is how it is in real life. The characters are really relatable even though they are completely different from anything and anyone I've ever met. It's just because they're teens I guess and I feel so sorry for them.<br />
The film is also really good because it highlights things like bullying, suicide, teen pregnancy, drinking, drugs, violence, criminality and the consequences. It's a really important message that is good for all teens to hear and I guess the film is kind of inspirational for some of the people that might actually be in situations similar to those.<br />

The film is very, very good and I recommend it to anyone because it is serious and deep but comedic at the same time. For me the language and the degree of chavyness displayed, definitely cracked me up sometimes. Safe Blud?<br />
There is a sequel called <i>AdULTHOOD</i> which is also very good but not quite the same because it isn't as relatable due to the fact that it plays six years later and its not as funny. It is still a good film to watch afterwards and I like the way Sam Peel's character growth is portrayed.<br />
<br />
Inês, normally a non-cryier - contrasting with my definitely very blubbery ways, also advised me to watch <i>One Day</i>. Having earned a great amount of respect for her due to her previous stellar recommendation, I also watched this film. Again, deeply sad but very sweet. The relationship between Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess ;P) is so sweet and relatable!! Their friendship is sooo unexpected since she is so weird in contrast to his incredible self confidence (It's kinda ironic he has a tattoo of the ying-yang symbol on his ankle huh?) but really heartwarming because you can totally understand the crush she has on him. I mean who hasn't been in the ''friendzone'' at least once in your life? Worse.. You have a serious crush on one of your best friends.. :S I can very much relate...<br />

Well, the story starts the day of their graduation and follows them for over twenty years every year that day. This format is really interesting because at some points it doesn't have to seem like a very special day; like in real life, a year which was really special one year, can be very insignificant the next.. The film follows their friendship and their lives, how they go though ups and downs and they never seem to have compatible lives really. It's like they want to be together but as soon as one is single the next one is married and having a baby..<br />

Finally they DO get together and it's such a happy moment, the viewer can feel really happy for them because of the over ten years of struggle to get there. And then Emma dies. Emma dies, and it's not fair. She dies and I cried and cried and cried. They were so happy! And I felt so sorry for Dex! She was his everything. And it wasn't fair to him. I really couldn't understand how he dealt with that. I guess he just had to... But then I stopped crying because I thought, in the short time that they had, they were SO happy! Like nothing could be bad. And they really didn't have the two years that they were officially together, they had like twenty years together. That's definitely more than many couples have these days. And then I thought one more thing before I went to sleep: it's wrong to thing that we do or don't deserve our lives. It's the other way around. Our lives deserve us.<br />

Holidays are over and the stress starts again! Fuuuunnnn!... That was sarcasm by the way!<br />
So, November has come and men all over the world are growing mustaches... Hehe, this will be funny! I'm especially looking forward to the endresult of Sam Pepper, who looks like he can't grow much more than a few millimetres of peach fuzz! The worst thing is that he will actually have to walk around like that for the entire month! God, he'll be happy when December comes!<br />

I had heard that it was a good book series and wanted to make my mind up before actually buying it. I mean I always like Greek mythology, I think it's really interesting and it also helps that Logan Lerman is so goddamn cute! So yes I am going to read the books, I've already bought the first three so now there's no way back. The problem with these reeeeally long book series, is that if you're not completely obsessed with if you'll get really bored eventually, kinda like what's happening to me with the <i>Pretty Little Liars</i> books. I'm currently on <i>Twisted</i> or something like that, and I cannot get myself to keep reading! It's shameful I know! As a self pronounced bookworm something like that shouldn't happen and I especially shouldn't read any other books while I've still got that one. I feel guilty, I think I've already explained this concept to you!<br />

I still liked it nonetheless.. It's about a boy who suddenly finds out that he is a demigod, son of Poseidon, and that he is suspected of stealing Zeus' thunderbolt. So he gets thrown into this weird mythological world and has to deal with some pretty weird stuff. He has to return the lightning bolt within fourteen days of the gods will wage war.. Something that must be prevented, so his mother sends him to half-blood camp which is a place where demigods are trained to deal with their specialness.. He immediately makes friends, he's pretty popular because he's the son of one of the ''big three'', Athena's daughter, Annabeth, and a satyr (half goat, like a centaur but a goat) named Grover and Hermes' son Luke (Jake Abel). He decides to go looking for Hades who has kidnapped his mother in am attempt to make him give up the lightning bolt, which he doesn't actually have.. So Percy, Grover and Annabeth set out on a quest and defeat Medusa (Uma Thurman), some weird many headed dragon thing and the Lotus Eaters. And then they get to Hades and he's not actually that scary, turns out though that Luke was a stupid tw*t and put the lightning bold in the shield he gave Percy in order to get Hades to over trow the other gods.<br />

And in the end Annabeth and Percy nearly kiss, it was predictable really.. Her being the only girl on the mission,...<br />
It was an good film, but not a great one and not one I will be likely to watch again, doesn't mean I'm not going to see the sequel which is coming out in, like, a year or something. I like the way they included the gods and the mythical creatures into the modern world and one really cool effect was that they made the god be giants, in contrast to the normal people, even their children. I liked that. And I mean Logan Lerman, right? :D Pretty boy!!<br />

Now you know the full extent of my laziness :S Heheh.. All three films being traditional comedies I only really liked one of them. <i>Role Models</i> was actually a really sweet film! I like Paul Rudd (Danny) and I LOVE Seann William Scott (Wheeler)! Its about two friends who have to od community service in order to escape jail and they get paired up with kids to be a big-brother to them. Danny's ''little'', Augie, is actually a teenager who is obsessed with medieval live-action role playing games and Wheeler's is a foul mouthed little guy called Ronnie. They both connect to their littles really sweetly and due to being able to somehow identify themselves with each other. Wheeler and Ronnie bond over their obsession with breasts and Danny finds that he can understand Augie's loner-like ways, as his girlfriend recently broke up with him and he feels like he has no friends. I really liked this film, all though I'd put off watching it for a really long time. It also stares Jane Lynch as the leader of the program, and she, as always, gives a hilarious performance.<br />

The supporting characters are also very well cast. His friends, Jonah Hill, Jason Segel and Jay Baruchel are also funny, in a guy-humor way that I generally like! They represent his bachelor life that is a very big part of his personality.. Alison's friends are on the other hand very different, they represent the perfect happy family, that lives in a nice house and has a nice car. This is the background that Alison comes from and expected to stay in. So their relationship kind of is in a noman's land of social standing. The support of their family and friends is so sweet and a scene at the end during the birth made me laugh a lot!<br />

George found out that he has a form of leukemia and will most probably die and searches for a friend. The building of their friendship and the first half of the film is even quite nice but then it turns out that George survives, he hooks up with his ''One That Got Away'' again and ruins her marriage and his friendship with Ira in the process. The film drags on and becomes hard to follow, unfunny and boring in the second half and is much too long with two hours and twenty minutes. The trailer made it look funnier than it actually was. I will definitely not watch it again.<br />

So I am currently in my hafterm holidays! Yay-yay-yay! And what better to do than nothing much.. Lol, I guess a lot of things.. My bestie Laura came back from the UK and we went to watch the new Bond film together on the premiere day here! <i>Skyfall</i> really is a good film! I hadn't actually watched many Bonds beforehand, I'd seen <i>Quantum of Solace</i> but I couldn't remember a lot of it and I didn't like it a lot, so I was really impressed with this one!!<br />

So Bond goes and kills someone and finds a hot girl who turns out to be controlled by this guy through fear of him. Bond, womanizer as he is obviously sleeps with her and she brings him to the guy. The hacker turns out to look ''like a gay Voldemort'' according to Laura and was an MI6 agent, the former Bond-caliber agent even, until M betrayed him apparently. And then comes my favourite scene, in an attempt to scare Bond, he hits on him and suggests to you-know-what, Bond just responds ''well maybe it isn't my first time'' or something like that and basically encourages him, and scares Voldemort through reverse psychology. I laughed so much at that scene, it was just too funny seeing Bond flirt with Silva!! I think Bond is one of the type of people who would flirt with a stone :D Naw! Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem (Silva) did a brilliant acting job! Well then Bond alerts his people with a radio and returns to the MI6 headquarters with Silva in tow.<br />
There Silva finally reveals what happened to him, he survived taking hydrogen cyanide which made his bone structure corrode or something because he takes out his prosthetic and he's missing a cheekbone and his entire face has gone ''droopy''. God such a gross image. Nesi had to hide her eyes because she was so grossed! Well when everyone thinks all is good, Silva breaks free and there is a chase through half of London. Bond realises he wants to take his revenge on M and stops him from killing her and drives him away.<br />

He escapes to his birth estate ''Skyfall Lodge'' with M, using her as bait because he knows Silva will follow, and he installs various boobie-traps and arms himself, M and the old groundskeeper, Kincade, who he find there, while waiting for Silva to find him.<br />
When Silva does come he arrives with a f*cking ARMY! So many people, but no problem for Bondsy & Co. :D Just a few bullets and a helicopter later the two old people abandon house and escape to a chapel while Bondsy and Voldy fight, finally in the last scene Bond rescues M from Silva by throwing a knife into his back, thus killing him. Such a shame though that M was already badly injured and dies in Bond's arms anyways.<br />

I've seen all the 007 films since Pierce Brosnan and M and Bond never were very good friends, but in the last film she does kind of assume a bit of a maternal figure towards Bond, who was a orphan. So yeas it was really sad to see her go, also because Judi Dench is just a terrific actress, (I mean, she earned herself a ''Dame'' for it!!) and I've never seen a film with another M, it's gonna be weird!<br />
One thing I was thinking afterwards was that, ohmigod, Daniel Craig has an amazing body for a over forty year old man. And then I felt guilty for perving on a guy who is nearly the same age as my mom! :O Still, holy crap his arms are nice! AND his back.. Not so much his stomach, cos he hasn't actually got a six-pack but his arms and back o.O Heheh..<br />

I mean it's almost impossible to because they do represent such different times, like in Brosnan times the ''high-tech'' computers were still massive square boxes! Craig is a much more sleek and modern version of Bond, which is much more suiting of this time. It's like changing from a Nokia to an iPhone. Personally I prefer Daniel Craig because when he says ''she means nothing to me'' I am much more likely to believe it. Brosnan just wasn't hard and armoured enough, if you know what I mean... They have a brilliant explanation for that though. God, that girl he loved who betrayed him in <i>Casino Royale</i>, it nearly broke my heart to see how much he changed afterwards. Stupid woman. Again brilliant piece of acting though.<br />

I guess you won't need the money but, you'll be bond forever!! Never will you ever e seen as anything else and consequently, you won't get any more acting jobs.. It's sad but true. I am quite curious to seeing if Craig can actually play a completely different character!<br />
Ok, this post has been veeeryyyy 007. So much Bond. Hehe, I guess it was just on my mind!<br />
Imma leave you with his and apologize again for my despicable tardiness. (Heheh, that was such a brilliant sentence! I'm so proud! Do you know the feeling? ;D)<br />
<br />
Soooo, byeeee people, I hope you had a brilliant Halloween!!<br />
