''If We Can't Save The World, We'll Avenge It''

Iron Man. Thor. Captain America. The Black Widow. Hulk. Hawkeye.
Ohmigod, I'm turning into such a nerd. I absolutely loveeeeeee The Avengers, new Marvel Studio's film that just came out, which I watched yesterday! Á cause d'aniversaire de une de mes meilleurs amis Inês. Wow. French skilllllz! (Don't know why I just did that.... Blaaah.... I'm hyper right now :D) Um yeah, back to the film. I really enjoyed it. I love superhero action films so much and this one was like 'la crème de la crème' 'cos it had SO MANY supes in it! :O YAY! I really can't decide who was my favourite... Iron Man, funniest quotes ever (''Motherfuckers''). Thor, OHMIGOD how can you not LOVE him.... A) hes really cute B) like so hot C) OMG those muscles and D) I'm, like, SO jealous of his hair. It's beautiful. And ''He's adopted'' drove me to hillarity. Captain America is soo sweeet 'cos he's so loyal and stuff... The Black Widow, what can I say... Interrogating is an art I guess.. and she's so awsome when she fights obviously... Hulk just ''smashes'' everything... and Hawkeye is AMAZING. I love him 'cos I live people who shoot with bows and arrows and who can shoot on target without even looking (wtf??).. And I hadn't seen him in anything before but I loved him from the begining so I was really annoyed when he turned to the dark sidee! Got so much more to say but this is already one massive paragraphh!
In other news. I regularily watch The Voice UK and there are some really good contestants. I love Beck Hills, Francis, Leanne, Max Milner and - OMG, WHY DID HE HAVE TO GO!!??? - Bill Downs. He is amazing. His duet/battle with Max 'Beggin'.. just wow. (<-- click the LINKK!!!!) I think those two shud just  become BFFs and sing together for ever and everrrrr! Love, love, love the harmonies, which Bill is like a pro at. I know this because, I have now been stalking Bill. Watched all his videos in one go on youtube and am obsessed. He's really cute and he sings really well and he's also really nice and I think he shud get rich and famous and succesful and happy and I think he shud dump his fiancée and marry me instead. (It's actually legal, I researched it. Girls are allowed to marry at age 16 in most countries!! ;D) So yeah there is a little evil streak in me... but still: O:)
Had my German aural today and hope to get about 120% 'cos of course I was brilliant :) This means tho that I had to go into school in study leave which is like :(.. But I was there with minha amiga melhor, Laura, who actually thinks she is hilarious, so it was ok. Pff.... I just think she is a really very strange little girl. And sometimes she's retarded and then thats funny for me :D (Dude, you know I love you..) It results in stuff like this:
Me, Laura, Me, Laura
I'm trying to keep it short todayyyy! Make sure you check out Bill and his youtube channel HERE! And make sure to laugh at my dear little Laura being a spazz. And, oh! yeah!! I'm so excited 'cos Pretty Little Liars, True Blood and Geordie Shore are back in the beginning of june... GET IN THERE!

When High School Is Over I Will Be King

Sooo, first week back from holidays. Yay, school. Yay, exams are coming up. (In case you havent noticed: I am being sarcastic right now.) I haven't started doing any hardcore revision or anything yet. This might or might not have to do with the fact that FINALLY Dead Reconing arrived. Yesss....! I loveee the Sookie Stackhouse novels so much!! I am so happy that it is finally here. I am reading it when ever I can, actually I am having a competition with my mom, about who finishes first. Both of us reading it at the same time makes things slightly more difficult but I am ahead of her, even though I am 'doing revision' etc. :P
I have DONE my first official GCSE exam. A portuguese aural, I think it went OK, even though I made a few reaaally stupid mistakes. And I will have my nest exams, Art and a German aural on monday,... Joy. I love Art and it is probably going to my favourite exam, but there is SO much work to do till the exam!! Seriously. God, I don't even want to think about it. I haven't done anything but Art all day. -.-
When High School is over I want to take a gap year and go traveling or something like that! And then go to Uni in England prefferedly. Do Art.. My favourite Uni is Leeds at the moment cos their entry requirements for Art are quite high and I want to challenge myself!
The title of this post is also derived from me watching Ametican Reunion yesterday in the cinema with my friends. SO funny. And for once there was someone in the cinema who laughed louder than me! I went with my 3 best friends and Yes it is incredibly pervertive but it is also soo funny. My dear friend Inês will forever have a photographic memory of Jason Biggs' penis. :D  I mean it was the first American Pie that I have seen I must confess but I will deffinightly catch up now. I especially loved Paul Finch and Stiffler (who doesn't). Stiffler is abslotuley hilarious because of his unbelievably blunt attitude to life. He kind off lacks an appropriateness filter. Come to think off it, he reminds me lots of my BFF Laura :) She has that 'problem' too. And then Jim's dad and Stiffler's mom hooking up is also hilarious. I thiought they were perfect for the roles because I think they are both incredibly comedic actors.
Appart from all of that my life really hasn't been very interesting. :(  As I said before I have been spending most days in art after school and then doing more art when I finally came home. And then on top of that doing the rest of my homework. In that sense it is actually quite good that my free films/series hosting site is really annoying at the moment. At least I didn't get distracted. Appart from this morning when I watched The King's Speech. (I'd forgotten about that until just now!)
I loved the film. I knew I would because my dear Inês, again, told me that I would, and I thought that Colin Firth made an amazing stammering king! Aside from him there was also Helena Bohem-Carter, who has already proven herself to be an absolutely amazing actress in Harry Potter obviously. But those two together gave a perfectly regal couple, and they could not had been more royal if they actually were aristocratic. I really liked watching the relationship forming between Lionel and Bertie, and how they helped and hurt eachother. And I knew from the beginning that they would be life long friends. It was also a really weird thought for me to think of someone else being on the throne on Brittain before Elizabeth II. And in all the history lessons I have had on WW2  there was never any talk about any kings etc..
Actally I had a really embarrassing encounter yesterday. Totally not royal. The day before yesterday I left school and I put my earphones in and there was a good song and I was kinda hyper so then I was kind of dance/skipping along and I thought that no one saw me. But then yesterday I leave school normally cos people are there and my iPod ran out of battery and the guard askes me ''no music today??'' and he ;)'s at me and then he does this weird impression of me. OMG I was SO emarrassed! I go really red when I'm embarrassed cos my skin is so light so I was litterally as red as a rasberry. :S
I do not plan on keeping up this weekend posting thing, but I thought that I wouldn't have any time monday becasue of a fricking 10hour art exam. So now I'm posting early. I hope that next week will be more eventfull and less embarrassing. So 'till thenn! Bye XX

Drag Queens and Easter Eggs

Heyyy BABES! I'm back from Britain! Went to visit my relavives in the Easter hols again :D
It was so much funnnn! First I went to see my Granny who lives near Dover (southhhh England!) for 3 days and then my lovely aunt and uncle and cousins - 21 and 26 years old - who live in Kent. Aside from that I went up to my cousins flat in London for a night and we went to a bar-slash-restaurant calles Circus which was really cool! We saw a gymnast doing CRAZY things on his hands on, like, stick-thingies and a singing Drag Queen which really left us guessing what sex SHe was. Click HERE to see pics of some of the cool stuff that happens there. :) (I can't put any pics on here unfortunately -.-)
I aslo went to see two art exhibitions in those ten days. The first one was Turner, and I was amazed to see Rodin's The Kiss there. Like, seriously, it's one of my favourite sculptures ever. I was like: ''Ohmigod, thats the KISS!'' O.O
The other exhibition was in the Tate Modern, Damien Hirst. I was sooo happy that I was there at the right time. It opened on the 4th of april, and it was so good. Lots of people critcize Hirst for killing so many animals for his work. But I think that A) he didn't even kill those animals, he used dead ones in the 1st place and B) people who say that sticking dead butterflies on a canvas isn't art, I have to correct you. Have you SEEN what he does with them? The Gate to the Kingdom of Heaven seems to be a stainglass window at first glance, but turns out to be a black canvas covered in reflective butterfly wings. I think it's deffinightly one of my favourite art pieces ever. SO BEAUTIFUL.
And I get that some of his 'art' is gross or unusual, and I dont find decaying dead cows heads very beautiful either, but in these cases it is more the idea behind the isntallation that makes it into an art piece. Hirst celebrates life and death in his art and makes BOTH beautiful.
OK, enough on art. People who don't like him, please take no offense in this - my mom also doesn't really like him - but please keep your oppinions to yourselves and let everyone else enjoy life (and death) and art.
I shopped alot and ate in different amazing restaurants and now officially declare Tai to be some of my fav food. I also watched a lot of Sex and the City (I know: old.. But stil luv it!) as well as Take Me Out (No Likey, No Lighty!), Crazy Stupid Love and Changeling with Angelina Jolie.
Changeling is an amazing, but sad story about a woman who's son is kidnapped. The police find him and give him back to her but she knows he isn't her son. As she is refusing to be convinced that this is her son the police send her to a psyciartic clinic, saying that she is mentally ill against her will. It turns out that her son was killed by a crazy psycopath serial childrens murderer, but later she is given hope as evidence iss found that her son may have escaped. I quite liked this film, and even though I get its based on a true story I think it would have been better to have a happy OR a sad ending rather than the way it was, it just didn't feel finished to me.
Crazy Stupid Love is a really good film, with an amazing twist at the end. Seriously, I would have never expected that to happen but I really liked it! The film starrs Ryan Gosling, who I liked for this role because he had just the right amount of good looks funniness and cockiness, and who I was glad he did it because to me it seemed like he'd only ever done really weird films (except for The Notebook) and I think such a fit man shouldn't be weird. Emma Stone was in it; like because she's funny, dislike because she's just not that pertty. And Steve Carell who was funny for the part and was perfectly geeky for his character, but he is turned into a womanizer and then he really should have been more attractive than he was.
While I was in England I frequently lisetened to Radio 1! So good, so much good, new music and exactly the right amount of talking and humor. I love Grimmy, Annie Mac and Fearne! I got 18 new songs from 10 days of listening! O.O WOW! BOOM! FIREWORKS!
Happy Late Easter Everybody! XXX

Here are my favourites of the 18:
Oliver Twist - D'Banj
Ill Manors - Plan B
We Are Young - Fun.
Falling - Seasfire

Two Spies, One Girl

Just had my first surf lesson in 3 months. The 18th of March. It was amazing. I was already so happy last week, but this was a lesson and it was exhilarating... lol. My friend Laura always makes fun of me for using vocab like that... -.- It was a very good lesson! I loved it. I was surfing with a teacher who I havent had before, but he was also really nice and actually helped me quite a lot. And my lovely friend Tete was also there, which was good because I hadn't seen her in quite a while.
What I am really excited about this week is A) the performances of Little Shop of Horrors (god, tomorrow is the dress rehersal :/) and B) the Hunger Games film is coming out! OH YEAHhh! The only bad thing is that I can't actually see it on Thursday because I've got a show -.- But we all made plans to go see it Saturday morning....!! I am SO looking forward to seeing it! But I'm also a bit scared that it won't fullfill my expectations because I love the book so much. I'm actually reading it again right now in preparation kind of.... The thing I am seriously disappointed about is that neither Peeta NOR Gale are good looking. FML. Seriously? Am I going to have to wait till next year - when Hunger Games 2 will come out hopefully (????) - untill I can see anyone somewhat good looking? Finnick? Ok. I just hope that he'll be played by Alex Pettyfer. (BTW, don't you think there should be another ''R'' in his last name?) But then again I want Alex to play most male characters. It would be widely appreciated too I think! No one minds a film that Alex is in :D I'm looking forward to Magic Mike SO much! COME ON: Alex Pettyfer, Channing Tatum AND Joe Maganiello in one film.... oh god I'm gonna faint of hotness!
Let's move on, befor I get too excited! I watched This Means War the other day and I don't really know if I liked it or not. I definightly did NOT like the part where she chose Chris Colfer over Tom Hardy! I did NOT get that! Who can choose a hot American dude over a hot British guy? I'd go for the Brit anytime... The accent is hot. I'm not saying that I didn't appreciate Chris' good looks or anything and I have to say I do tend to go for the jerks, but lately not so much. I loved and hated the end because that really summed up the two guys personalities. Male slut and unbelievably nice awsome british guy. Maybe it's just my mothering instincts (oh god, the guy is, like, 30 or something) taking over bcause he is just so nice and sweet, and that's why I can't understand how anyone would want to dump a guy like that. And about his ex-wife/kid's mother: I really dont like her. I mean 1st of all she divorced/dumped/whatevered him and THEN when he turns out to be a secret agent shes all over him again? Seriously? And he's still so heart broken he goes for it? That's just mean! Like, abusing a helpless guy in a bad situation. Or taking away a kid's Lolipop. You just don't.
I just, like JUST now, watches the last episode of Pretty Little Liars. Ohmigod. A = MONA? Srsly? Nooooooooo! I as beginnig to LIKE her. I was also absolutely in love with the penultimate episode, because I adored the twist with Jenna and everything! I'm already sad that the season is over! I am glad tho that they left the end unclear so that it can go on. But at the same time I feel frustrated. It's like I've watched for so long can't I get a bit of a reward? And don't tell me Mona was more than enough rewarding....
I am STILL waiting for Hacking Harvard and quite annoyed about how long shipping from America takes! Waahhhhhh! I'm tired and I haven't done any homework yet, sooooo: BYE XX

Here's a song my bestie Lozza showed me.... Bleh, it's stuck in my head!

Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen

The Key

Actually, quite a lot has happened in the last week :D
First of all Little Shop of Horrors rehersals are now on the final strech. We have ten days to go till opening night, but we are already performing two songs to part of our school tomorrow. The year 12 and 13's. -.- Hmpf. A) They are older so they WILL judge. B) My cousin is in year 12 and our relationship is complicated.... And also the songs aren't perfect yet... We only just learned part of one of the songs today. In the last 15 minutes of rehersals. Very hurriedly. but over all I am actually looking forward to it all! Today was also the first rehersal with the band, and at least three songs are absolutely amazing. 'The Dentist', 'Muschnik and Son' and 'Feed Me' are so good already, that everyone always feels excited enough again to proceed with rehersals (even though you're really tired!).
Second of all I went surfing sunday morning for the first time in about three months. I was so tired and sandy and salty afterwards and my hair was horrible and dry and tangled but it was the best feeling ever. I tried for half an hour and I only caught one wave (actually it was a foam wave -.-) so I was a little bit frustrated that I am so unfit again, as well as happy. The next surf competition will be a Rip Curl Pro in Bell's Beach, Auzzieland. And it will start on the 3rd of April hopefully. I reallt hope Owy can do better after his Quaterfinal end to the first event!!! I really want him to win a lot of events and become world champ. I don't particularily like Kelly (even though I am in awe of his surfing) because he WINS ALL THE FRICKING TIME. And as already said I want Owy to win!
Todays title has a lot to do with a book which is coming out in May. FINALLY. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore. And the reason I am mentioning it in this way is because Amazon.com has released the Prologue and first Chapter as a sneak peek. YAYY! I was reading all through english. You can believe the teacher wasn't very happy :/ I'm posting a link to the site where you can read the extract HERE.
And finally: Superbad. The film. HILARIOUS. I know it's a little old already but: AMAZING. Seriously I now officially love Jonah Hill. And I think that Michael Cera is absolutely adroable. I watched the film with my lovely BFF Inês when she was sleeping over at mine and we both loved it. I love the way its rudely humorous and that its target audience is mainly guys. Because, weirdly enough, I actually find guys jokes funny most of the time even if other people can't understand them. So yeah the obsession with drawing penises and the way that they are totally uncool in reality but they think they are bosses in private make the film different than any other I have ever seen. On watching Superbad I also watched The Sitter because it is Jonah Hill's newest film and I must say in five years the guy has not changed a bit. I also loved that film because his way of dealing with three crazy kids when he can't even get his own act together is quite funny. And it is totally my kind of film because it all ends happily ever after and the kids are suddenly non-problematic, and everyone is BFFs. YAY.
I'm waiting for my newest book Hacking Harvard to come (tomorrow I think :D) and also for the release of THE HUNGER GAMES film. I actually even got my mother to read the first book (she is now on the second, and rapidly progessing too!) and I have also relapsed to starting over with book one!
And ONE more thing. I have started watching Geordie Shore. Also a brutally funny show. It is the enlish version of Jersy Shore and it is quite enjoyable; a thing I would NEVER have thought before I actually started it! The affected way the characters act as well as the fact that they are ALL complete drama queens and total sluts (girls AND guys!) make the show to surreally that it is hard to belive people like that actually exist. But I very much enjoy watching their little disasters!
Imma be off to watch the new Pretty Little Liars episode now :D BYE XX

I am quite obsessed with Mika at the moment so:
Lollipop - Mika
We Are Golden - Mika
as well as
Ridin' - Chamillionaire ft. Krayzie Bone
Stars - The XX
Queensland - Evil Eddie

Finally Almost Married!

I JUST finished the second season of Downton Abbey and I had to get rid of the happiness somewhere! FINALLY Lady Mary and Matthew are actually engaged! Seriously, took them long enough! The shows two series cover 8 years and it has taken them that long to admit to eachother that they love one another! I was really annoyed at the way Matthew acted after Lavinia's death. I liked her, because she was a really sweet character, but, it's horrible to say this: I'm also kinda glad she's dead! It was basicly the only whay that Mary and Matthew were ever gonna be together. So I was really annoyed when he was basicly forbidding himself to feel what he felt for Mary. I mean I get that he feels guilty but, after waiting so LONG for them to get over everything else, it was just ridiculous. I felt like saying ''WAHHHH! Just get overrr it! You know you want to!!'', even his MOTHER was urging him towards her! I just hope they actually get married now. They are shooting the 3rd series at the moment and it will come out some time later this year, and who knows what they come up with to make everything difficult again.
One thing that made me particularily happy in the christmas special was that Sir Richard finally got slapped. Well more like punched... By Matthew. YAY! I DID NOT LIKE HIM AT ALL! I thougth he was a reall twat for making Mary marry him. And the way he treated her and other people wasn't just unfriendly and maybe unbritish, but really really rude and mean and cunning and purposefully so!
Also, there is Sybill who finally married the chauffeur, thank god. With them it was also a huuuuge build up and then evrything happened at once. I'm especially happy that they're still on good terms with the family, because it would have been really bad if she had gone out of the show. I like her so much! Also Edith who was a really big b**** in the first series has finally become a nice girl... I hope she finds someone who will marry her. Because with every guy she likes there always is something in the way.
Anna and Mr. Bates are married and he is NOT gonna die. Thank god. Neither of them deserved it, such nice people. I liked Anna from the 1st episode!
This seems to be just some post ranting on about Downton... let's talk about something else now.
I had my first Little Shop of Horrors weekend rehersal yesterday. It went on for 5 hours and was really exhausting. But also really good because At least two of the actors, the canibalistic plant and the sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello, are really good and it was hilarious to watch/part take!
Otherwise: I don't have any books at the moment, care to recomend some? And yay, season 18 of ANTM has started. They call it ''british invasion''.. Americans vs. Brits... I'm so voting british! Nothing against the Americans, but I just preffer the UK! Even though me being partially british probably makes me biased :/ Lol.
Other than this, I have no news. So bye. XX

PS.: I think I might hve gotten over THE BOY. Yay..! I hope this doesn't jinx it!

Songs:
Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson
Bring Me Flowers - Hope
American Woman - Lenny Kravitz
and, even tho I hate myself for liking it:

I Love Berlin

I keep apologizing at the beginnings of my posts. So here it is again: SORRY for not being regular and organised anymore! The thing is, my life is quite a mess at the moment, so it is hard to keep on track with all my obligations or wishes. :( I still haven't surfed :( and I havent gone to dance since Xmas either..... now after admiting that, I feel somewhat guilty.
What I have been doing is moving house.... well appartment really, from the 2nd to the 12th floor; which I don't ming but my mom can hardly look out the window without getting a heart attack. I find the view quite nice as I can see my old ''house'' and my school (what a joyfull sight, meehhh..) and the sea from the window. So right now I am sitting in an unbrearibly empty living room of my ''old'' appartment and am supposed to be doing school work... Ooops.... History Coursework to be precise. Procrastination is one of my biggest qualities :D
History has been an important part of my half term holidays, which now saldy lie behind me. I went to Berlin, and I even got to miss a few days at school :D No one can resent that.... Berlin was a very exciting experience, first of all I had never been to Berlin, even if it is the capital of my home country, but also I enjoyed being in the company of my frinds for longer than a few hours, and in a different environment than school. The trip still had a lot to do with history, as we visited a large amout of museums, memorials and such to learn about the time of anti-semitism and the cold war era in Germany. But even if we did have a lot to do there was always still alot of time to have fun. One night we went ice skating, which was definightly one of the main reason I wanted to go on the trip in the first place. I love it so much! I might not even be the best at it, but I enjoy it very much! 
The hostel/hotel in which we stayed was amazing! For 12€ a night, and included 3 meals, free internet, pool and SAUNA. Amazing. Loved it. Seriously, it was also one of the best things from the trip. evryone crowded into the tiny 6 person sauna, and we ended up having to stand because there were 14 peole in it. 
The bad thing was the weather, when we arived it snowed and when it left it snowed again, but inbetween there was rain, and wind, and freezing coldness. It was so cold, I was semi-ill immediately and I lost my voice for basicly the entire trip. Here again, I need to credit the sauna, with out which I would have been way more ill then Ireally was. But appart from that the trip was absolutely amazing, and I really already miss it. 
Part of why it was so fun also was because even though we where in seperate corridors, we did manage to ''smuggle'' some boys into our room every night, to have more fun. Sleep? We had 4 hours at the most. Which explains why I slept 19 hours once I got home. And also alcohol. I'm not going to say much about it except for that it ended in us getting in trouble over someone throwing up in their bed. Not good. But most of us where OK actually. Including me.
One of the new discoveries I have made since I have come home, and boredom has shook me is Downton Abbey, which is a british television series playing in they early 1900's and which includes Maggie Smith, who makes everything hilarious, even though she is a very dry and posh woman. I have now finished the first season, and I must say I like all the characters very much, especially Anna the head housemaid. Of course I hope that Mry and Matthew will end up together happily every after but we will see. I knew about the show for sometime through the blog of one of my favourite authors Kristin Cashore who writes about it, and made it seem interesting for me. But I only started now, when I felt I had nothing else to do. (Which is not true there is always a lot to do, the problem is, they're things I don't feel like doing most of the time.) And I regret leaving it for so long because I really like the show.
My first longer blog post and I am talking about history throughout most of it..... I hope I didn't bore you too much.

My Berlin songs:
